Peace be on you.
The splendor of being Muslim is in the strength of Faith and understanding of the reality of Islam.
> Faith means to fully give up the self to Allah, and to practice His directives.
> The reality of Islam is to save oneself from every evil while keeping eyes on directives of Allah and to make the way of peace for others too.

If the Muslim world understands this, durable peace can come in many lives. There are other dimensions too:

1) Personal interests, extremist groups and selfishness at all levels in Muslim world is bringing bad name to Islam. Governments are not doing justice with citizens and people are not paying rights of governments.

2)There are powers which oppose Islam, they are taking advantage of the situation and helping disputing parties. Arms and fuel are being provided from outer sources.

3)Added to it, there is large publicity of extremist groups in media. When perturbed and environment-stricken people join extremists, media does a lot of propaganda about it. It creates such a terrible picture of Islam that common people feel fear from Muslims. Media conceals news for their own interests. For example, sometimes ago in Ireland, when incidence of extremism took place by separatists, media decided (or were told) not to give news about it. As the result, respective government suppressed the anger raised at local level.


Media does not mention those hundreds of thousands Muslims who talk about peace in right proportion. For example, every year hundreds of thousands people gather under the Ahmadiyya Muslim flag of peace in the moral and spiritual training gathering (i.e. Jalsa Salana U.K.) and more than 500000 people join this peaceful Islam. Some of them stated that the world needs this beautiful teaching of Islam. They said the media had locked their thoughts by giving negative impression of Islam. The efforts of Jama'at Ahmadiyya removed their wrong thoughts.
