What were some Muslim challenges and solutions they faced?

Answer 1

Muslims everywhere are generally being marginalised, harrassed and at times frowned upon by non-Muslims, especially in the West. The turn of events took to the worst scenario after 911. Muslims have been unfairly labelled as terrorists by the West & Islam has been labelled as a religion preaching terrorism. On the contrary Islam is a religion of peace & freedom and Muslims are peace-minded people. Just forget about those fanatics who often claim to be practicing Muslims. Many experts everywhere now have begun to believe that 911 was an act of conspiracy so designed & planned by those who have hidden agendas, so as to make it appear to be the work of Muslims. But Muslims everywhere DO NOT believe Muslims were actually responsible for events that took place on Sept 11, 2001. But God knows all that had happened on 911. And Muslims also believe that the perpetrators of 911 will be punished by God, in one way or the other, or eventually, for causing so much human deaths, sufferings & destruction on the face of this earth. The greatest weapon all Muslims have is the DOA. They do not need guns, rockets or missiles to hit their enemies; they just pray for God's assistance & protection.

Answer 4

Muslims, like all other groups of people, faced, face, and will keep facing challenges as individuals and as a nation and had, have, and will keep finding solutions to these challenges and problems.

These challenges can range from finding water to drink in the desert and solving the problem of wild animals crossing highways to solutions such as inventing the number zero.

Answer 5

In Muslim-Majority Countries
There are an extensive myriad of problems in Muslim-majority countries, including but not limited to:

1) Corrupt Rulers and No Infrastructure: Many rulers of Muslim-majority countries are content to deprive their people of modern infrastructure and development. They prefer to hoard the money their people give them to build palaces and repressive armies to protect those palaces. As a result, many of the necessary infrastructural and developmental changes which should have happened never occurred. One of the main results of the corrupt governments has been the instability of many Muslim-majority countries.

2) Regional Disunity: Muslims have gone to war with each other at numerous times and in numerous places. Nearly every border in the Arab World has played host to a military engagement of some type. The Arab World has never had anything even close to the European Union or the Schengen Border Agreement (forget the Muslim World). (The Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Conference are much more like the United Nations and have no superstate components.) Although Muslims, as individuals, may feel connected across borders, like those between Morocco and Algeria or those between Syria and Lebanon or those between Egypt, Sudan, and Libya, their governments do not.

3) Anti-Educational: There is a strong and pervasive attitude in many Muslim-majority countries that a Western-style education, seeking a high degree of literacy and scientific knowledge is undesirable. Instead, there is a strong pull towards a religious education. This leads to minimal technological innovation in Muslim-majority countries today. While Muslims make up over 23% of the world population, they have less than 10 Noble Prizes in the Sciences and Maths.

4) Lack of Human Rights: Most Muslim-majority countries deny their citizens fundamental human rights such as equality before the law, freedom to express their opinions (even if they are unpopular), freedom of assembly, equality for women in education and marriage rights, freedom of movement, an end to the slave trade (in a minority of Muslim countries), and other infringements. Statistics have shown a high-level of correlation between the presence of human rights and economic and political affluence.

5) Foreign Policy Over Domestic Concerns: Many Muslims are concerned about irrelevant foreign policy issues among Muslims and Non-Muslims in other countries. The Cypriot situation and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict are wholly irrelevant to Pakistan and Morocco, but people in those countries spend an inordinate amount of time discussing those issues. That time comes out of discussions about what to do about serious problems in those countries such as women's education or the lack of infrastructure. If there is no clamor for these domestic improvements, they will not happen.

6) Failure to Compromise: Unlike Western Societies which see public debates and elections as a fair mechanism for deciding which opinions should get the Right of Way, many in the Middle East prefer to staunchly advocate their position by whatever means are necessary because they are assured of their correctness (either by God or personal conviction). This means that both domestic and international policy issues that produce gridlock have the potential to erupt in conflict and extreme measures as opposed to a general consensus that people can agree to even if they are not in love with it.

7) Failure to Permit Ethnic Autonomy: Many ethnic groups in the Muslim world, such as the Kurds, the Balochis, the Darfurians, the Acehnese, etc. find themselves in states run by other ethnicities that deny them the ability to have a strong say in their affairs. Instead of granting them autonomy, like European countries in similar positions have done, they choose to repress them. This has gone on to the point where the only recourse is full-scale revolt.

8) Tribal Conflicts: Especially in Arab States, there are numerous tribes that have long-standing feuds with one another and threaten to disturb the peace. Creating a national identity that can supersede this tribal identity is critical for making the state safe enough for domestic commerce as well as finding a method to arbitrate tribal disputes within a state mechanism to prevent revenge killings and further violence.

9) Lack of Foreign Investment: Due to the frequent instability and the strong Anti-Western sentiment in Muslim-majority countries, foreign companies are not willing to invest in production and infrastructure in Muslim-majority countries and will choose more stable and friendly nearby countries. Sri Lanka and Vietnam have seen much more investment than Pakistan or Egypt for exactly these reasons.

10) Women's Rights: This depends far more on a particular country's laws and predominant views of the clergy in that country than any basic Islamic issue. In some countries like Pakistan, women have been increasingly unable to get an education. In Saudi Arabia, women cannot drive. In Lebanon, proof of elementary education is required for women to vote but not for men and voting is compulsory for men but optional for women. Muslim-majority countries have typically been behind Western States in the proliferation of women's rights, but this is more typical third world countries in Africa and Asia than just the Islamic ones. As for the argument often raised that Western State have more rape, this statistic is based on how many rapes are reported. In many cases, women in Muslim countries are afraid to go to the police out of fear of being raped by the police as well, being honor-murdered by someone in her family, or being charged as criminally liable for getting raped. Since Western law protects rape victims against rapists, rape victims are more willing to seek government help.

Outside of the Islamic world
There are an extensive myriad of problems facing Muslims Outside of the Islamic World, including but not limited to:

1) Ghetto-ization: Many Muslims in Europe end up living in very poor communities on the outskirts of major cities. This leads to them having fewer job prospects, worse policing, and a higher proclivity to fail both school and in their work lives. This form of ostracism, both supported by indigenous Europeans and by Muslim immigrants, has worsened the position of Muslims in society.

2) Education and Opportunity: Many but not all Muslims in Europe tend to perform worse academically and tend to be sent to vocational schools or trade schools rather than going to more advanced universities. This ultimately leads to consistent poverty for Muslims in Europe.

3) Non-Policing and Shari'a Thugs: In many of the Muslim Ghettos in Europe, the police actively refuse to enter or settle squabbles, creating "no-go zones". Increasingly, police are ignoring crimes committed by Muslims outside of the Muslim ghettos as well in order to promote "cultural tolerance" as was noted in the Rotherham Investigation and has come out concerning the Cologne New-Years Attacks. Within the Muslim ghettos, the lack of policing has given rise to local gangs that do their own form of policing, often in line with Shari'a principles as opposed to domestic European law. Muslims are adversely affected from a lack of effective policing and safety.

4) Self-Segregation: The Muslim communities in Europe, by and large, refuse to assimilate to European culture and values and instead demand that Europeans alter their laws to suit them. This failure to assimilate further helps to perpetuate their own ghetto-ization and lack of opportunities.

5) Anti-Muslim Bigotry: With the rise of terrorism in Western countries, the level of European and American hate crimes against Muslims has risen. In the US, the level of such crimes is still per capita less than the level of hate crimes against Jews, these numbers are rising. Often the attack will be perpetrated against someone wearing distinctive Islamic garb such as an abaya or niqab on a woman or a taqiya and dishdasha on a male.

6) Islamophobia Anger: Many Muslim and Liberal organizations put forward the meme of "Islamophobia", which is a conflationary term between hatred of Islam as a religion and hatred of Muslims as people, in order to shut down civilized debate about the particular beliefs of Islam and how they can work or not work in Western society. Since "Islamophobia" is used with wanton abandon to shut down any civilized debate on the subject of possible incongruities between Islamic values and Western values, this leads to increased distrust of the Muslim community and it also leads to people tending to act out in uncivilized ways to try and remedy the problems they perceive. The latter approach feeds into Anti-Muslim Bigotry on some occasions.
