What Can You Do About It?

Now that you understand what orthodox Muslims are supposed to do according to their teachings, what can you do about it? Most important is for other non-Muslims to learn some basic information about Islam. Most people know very little about Islam. In fact, most people know even less than they think they know because of the excessive application of taqiyya (religious deception).

Once enough of us are educated, we can vote people into office who understand the situation. We'll know enough to know who is knowledgeable and who is not. And we can push for initiatives and policies appropriate to our new understanding.

But until enough people understand, the policies and politicians will not have enough support to get anything done. So public education is vital. Really take this seriously. Use some of these tools to make the task a little easier. And read the Quran so you can speak with authority.

And find informative materials — books, online videos and articles, and DVDs — and buy them. Lend them out.

One uplifting task you can pursue that indirectly weakens the influence of orthodox Islam is to help girls. Find out more about the "Girl Effect" here.
