Forgive me if i am wrong but to me it looks like alot of the world is in a war against Islam and i don't know why. Are they afraid, do they just hate muslims or is it something else?

Why is there war, occupations or interventions in Muslim countries e.g. Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan etc.

Why are there bans on the Burkha in France?

This is just the recent activity i am seeing, this has been going on for centuries.

What i want to know is why they are doing this, i mean is there a reasonable explanation for all of this?

The other thing i wanted to know is if we as muslims in the UK and other surrounding countries where we are free to practice Islam have a duty towards our fellow muslims in these suffering countries?

I have heard some muslims saying what happens in these other parts of the world doesn't affect us and that we cannot do anything about it. Is that a correct way of thinking or should we be showing solidarity for our muslim bretherin?

Just like the war on Islam didn't start all of a sudden, it started off slowly and it grew. I think that in that same way we muslims should start to reunite slowly and then insha allah it will grow and we will be able defend ourselves and fight for our values once more.

May Allah guide us all. Ameen

These bear the words "Persian Gulf", but Arab countries, who call it the Arabian Gulf, reject the term.

The games had been postponed in October in the hope of striking a deal.
