	Muslim
		There is a bit of creed in the name 'Muslim', as it tells that the true believer is one who do not challenge God and his will, and who tries to live his/her life according the rules without questioning them.
		Most Muslims use the term 'true Muslim' for the really devout, which involes that all people belonging to Islam are considered as being Muslims, even if they are not active.
		Atheists exist in all Muslim countries, and while this group seldom exeed 1-3% of the population, they often call themselves Muslims, since they belong to the Muslim culture and world view.

		Culture is limited to the attendance of non-Islamic ‘mela’s’, which only serves to corrupt the mind of the youth furthermore.
		Muslim youth workers are available to the youth and many mosques are realizing that a youth committee is a vital component in attracting the younger generation towards Islam.
		Islamic culture in its traditional form has striven to preserve this integrated spiritual view of the world in a way we have not seen fit to do in recent generations in the west.

	Muslim Culture
		European countries especially have thrown their doors open to a large influx of Muslim immigrants who have no intention of becoming part of the cultures of the countries to which they immigrate but to recreate their own cultures in those countries.
		But even “moderate” Muslim organizations in the West who deplore violence and try to discourage it nevertheless encourage their followers to remain foreigners rather than become part of the countries they live in.
		In a more culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of "suttee" -- the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands.

		But owing to different environmental conditions, cultural groups evolve differently in different parts of the world and thousands of years of indigenous experience give those groups their own social and psychological character; and their character in response to environmental stimuli creates all the differences that appear in their respective life-histories.
		This revival of the Muslim culture was partly due to the infusion into it earlier of the fresh blood of the Turkish slaves and mercenaries and later that of the Mongol conquerors, for they themselves came into the fold of Islam bringing with them the vigour and vitality of their nomadic ancestors.
		In both periods of its rise Muslim culture was marked by its religio-political and architectural ascendancy; but while in the first period its glory lay also in its commercial, industrial, scientific, and philosophical fields, in the second it distinguished itself chiefly in the fields of poetry, painting, secular history, travels, mysticism, and minor arts.

		The understanding that cultures are living things that interact with and borrow, even sometimes embrace, that with which they interact allows us to better understand what is happening to the Muslim cultures in American society, and to American society as it interfaces with these cultures.
		I use the plural for cultures deliberately, since their nothing monolithic about the various Muslim groups: Euro- and Afro-American converts (or “reverts” as they prefer to be called), immigrants from various parts of the world, and the children of both groups.
		In the same manner, the American Muslims, from their different schools, nations, races, and linguistic origins are now in a cultural milieu in which they must come to agreements where they can and be satisfied with tolerance where they cannot.

	America's Debate -> Muslim integration into Western Culture
		Certainly they can keep their culture, if only to themselves, but if doing so limits their opportunities here then they have to realize that it is their problem and not those of us who have alreadly managed to assimilate.
		If a Muslim immigrant is not willing to recognize the superiority of the laws of the country they are attempting to emigrate to over their religious laws, then they should be refused entry.
		With the current rate of immigration, coupled with the birth rate of the Danish Muslim community (a community which didn't exist at the end of the second world war) the ethnic Danes are set to become a minority in their own country by 2050 or sooner to a Muslim majority.

	10 Things You Can Do To Develop A Culture OF Muslim Unity
		Muslim unity is a Fard (obligatory duty) according to the Quran and Traditions of the Prophet Mohamed (peace and blessings be upon him).
		We must remember that Muslims in North America come from all cultures and socio-economic backgrounds, whether they were born and raised in the faith or reverted to it.
		Muslim leaders and individuals have a duty to ensure that no Muslim, regardless of their ethno-cultural background, feels shut out of the community, ignored or neglected.

		The wives and children were captured to become Muslims or slaves, and their property became spoils for the victors.
		However, Muslim influence was slight in Kashmir until about 1400 when during the reign of Sikander numerous Muslims immigrated there, became friends of the young king, and occupied all the offices.

		Early blues performers didn’t recognize the music’s African or Muslim roots because, by then, the songs had more fully merged with white, European music and had lost their obvious connections to a continent that was 4000 miles away.

	Educating Muslim Children
		As Muslims our educational aim is to develop the personalities of our children to the end that they will be conscious of their responsibility to Allah (the Creator) and to fellow humans.
		Muslim families are at a disadvantage in meeting the psychological and spiritual needs of the children.
		When children meet other children who are Muslim, it enhances their confidence in being a Muslim and they feel more comfortable about their identity and they assert their Islamic identity in non-Muslim environment with more ease and comfort.

		Muslim families tend to be very tight knit and that means mom and dad may have more control over their kids even after marriage than amongst other religious or cultural groups.
		It's important to keep in mind that when counseling Muslim couples, especially families in which women and children are in a power relationship with the husband and father, that a wife and the coupleÕs children may not feel comfortable talking in front of him.

		Opened in 1981, Islamia Primary School was the first full-curriculum Muslim school in the United Kingdom, and has received state funding since 1998.
		While isolating Muslim children within a school may appear to counter such efforts, Trevathan said children are more likely to be more self-confident and well adjusted if their home and school values match.
		The issue has divided Europe, from the Netherlands, which funds about 40 Muslim schools, to France, which is strictly secular and has banned hijabs (head scarves) and overt religious symbols from all state schools.

		In the October 4 issue of Time, Muslims were shown performing prayers with guns with caption that read "guns and prayer go together in the fundamentalist battle." What was omitted was that these Muslims were praying on a battlefield in Afghanistan.
		To blame Muslims as a whole for the scattered acts of violence throughout the world is to perpetuate the centuries old myth about Islam that it is a violent religion waiting to take over the West.

	The Spirit of Muslim Culture
		In the history of Muslim culture, on the other hand, we find that both in the realms of pure intellect and religious psychology, by which term I mean higher Sufism, the ideal revealed is the possession and enjoyment of the Infinite.
		And this anti-classical spirit of European culture is entirely due to the specific genius of Europe, and not to any inspiration she may have received from the culture of Islam which, according to Spengler, is thoroughly ‘Magian’ in spirit and character.
		His ignorance of Muslim thought on the problem of time, as well as of the way in which the ‘I’, as a free centre of experience, has found expression in the religious experience of Islam, is simply appalling.
