Islam Being Frowned Upon

Islam being frowned upon in Society When asking someone about their religion every religion gets the same reaction either “oh that’s cool” or will make a comment to seem interested, but when the answer is Islam, the facial expression and opinion of the person changes, and the first thing that comes to mind is “terrorist” or “why?” This, is not a personal opinion, this is a fact.

In Women 93 of the Holy Qur’an by God (610 CE), it says “if someone kills someone purposefully, this person will not be Muslim anymore, and God will be angry at that person. God won’t bless that person anymore, even if that person tried to make up for it and that person will go to hell and there is no other way”.

The history of Islam is definitely unique in its own way. In Islam it is important to know that in order to be Muslim you must believe that there is “One God
