What Is Secularism?: Banning Islamic Practices in The Name of Secularism

What is secularism?
Secularism simple mean that religion has not authority on state affairs.
History:
Early Europe was ruled by Church which has ultimate authority over all issue i.e. people have
leave according to the rules and regulation created by Church even the state affairs were rule by
them. Anyone who disobeyed these rules was termed as irreligious as well as they were liable for
punishment. One the greatest example of this is that some people at that time argued that earth is
not at the center of the universe which was against Biblical belief, so the Church at that time
strongly disagreed this and many more examples are present in history. So when this happened
people were not feeling that their rights are given to them due to the forced implementation of
rules because of this many people migrated from these places too.
When the time pass a time came when the Church was toppled and the people came in power,
ultimately they thought that any religion not only Church but also other came in power they will
again take our freedom. So they started thinking that now religion should be separated from the
state affairs, this was the point where secular mind set and secularism started firming its roots.
Many countries of world not only Non-Muslim countries but also Muslims countries adopted this
system; Turkey is one of the examples of secular Muslim country having no official religion.
Challenges faced by Muslims in the name of Secularism:
Banning Islamic practices in the name of Secularism:
World is going to observe a rapid change and a no way down in secularization in obvious
relation to the organized religion. It can start from the danish cartoon director (directed the
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) cartooned animated film) to the proliferated bans on the various
forms of the Muslims dress. This can further widen itself to the Islam and the ultimate racism
to the turn, their so-called relation with terrorism, foreign policy, and the security.
Muslims all over the world (countries where Muslims live as minorities) are facing, not less to
burning in fire problems, majority of the problems that are unnoticed. Several accountable
examples could merge in it, of which, few are as followings:
The first is the case where there were majority, no doubt, in support, of the head-teacher in
France, who raised the issue of banning the headscarves during the school time. This is what
mandatory, and obvious in Islam.
The second case can be depicted as the banning of the religious wearing of the conspicuous
symbols and the cloths, that happened in 2003 in France, where the majority then later were
able to pass the bill as well.
The Secular feminism:
Many of the developed, with Muslims minorities, countries have this thing rising to the level of
skies. The secular feminists firmly believe in grounding their very discourse from outside the
any religion boundaries, fact is that they are interested in griping their position in
international human rights as well. Thing here, to consider, is that Islam has define some
limits to the Muslims and especially to the women, now this feminism in the name of
secularistic right, is creating chaos and a problem for the Muslim.
Rights:
Muslims are over the world they are in minority are left empty handed from their rights or are
given as the sand in hand. They are not given equal rights as are given to the whites (non-
Muslims). They are treated as with the tag of terrorists, the only point arose by the media and
very much highlighted when a Muslim is known as the cause of it, answer to this, is, in fact,
that an individual among every religion can be corrupted and culprit but the whole religion
cannot be.
Islamophobia:
Very much irrespective of the social status or the profession and being called the Muslim will
always raises the question marks. Muslims are the universe’s present and clear suspect only until
they manage somehow to clear themselves and attain the better status and after that to be
watched very carefully.
Now this is what creating and bringing roots to the so-called islamophobia, how? Its when they
count on Muslim raising, they create the fear of being Muslim in the world and this can be
accomplished only by the help of social media to detract the people and make false statements
about them.
Between the conservation and Moderation:
It has been observed that many of the Muslim are now subjected to swing between the religious
conservation and the moderation and this behavior and the decisions are due to countless factors,
and they are very much clearly influenced by the peers they have, still the Muslims book, Quran,
remains the religious foundation (common).
