Muslims want Europeans and Americans to submit to Allah, even by force

SIBY JEYYA
The notion that Muslims want Europeans and Americans to "submit to Allah even by force" is a generalization that does not reflect the beliefs of the vast majority of Muslims worldwide. islam, like other major religions, has diverse interpretations and followers. The concept of "submission to Allah" refers to spiritual devotion and surrender to God's will, which is central to the faith. Forcing someone to accept islam contradicts the teachings of the Quran, which clearly states, "There is no compulsion in religion" (Quran 2:256). This verse emphadata-sizes that faith must be accepted freely, not coerced.

However, extremist groups such as isis or Al-Qaeda, which falsely claim to represent islam, have attempted to impose their views through violence, including in Western nations. These groups distort Islamic teachings for political and ideological purposes. Their actions have contributed to the misconception that islam promotes violence, whereas mainstream Islamic leaders and scholars strongly condemn these acts.
In europe and America, the majority of Muslims peacefully practice their faith, contributing to multicultural societies. The vast majority seek mutual understanding and coexistence rather than conflict or domination. It is crucial to distinguish between the actions of fringe extremists and the beliefs of over a billion peaceful Muslims.
