Not only Nupur Sharma, another BJP spokesman, Naveen Jindal, did the same thing. He commented insulting Islam on social media. Naveen Jindal said in a tweet that he questioned some of the comments made against Hindu deities. This has clearly led to strong criticism from many Muslim countries, especially Arabs, which are rich Muslim-majority countries that are a source of trade and energy for India. India responded to this by suspending and dismissing the two party members A number of reasons for the occurrence of conflicts and riots above are in line with efforts to create a resolution for Islamophobia Day which is set on March 15 as World Islamophobia Day. This resolution received a warm welcome from the leaders of Muslim-majority countries in the world, Prime Minister Imran Khan in his remarks quoted from Al Jazeera expressing a good response to the results of the ideas that had been proposed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) some time ago. After a long time, the UN finally made Islamphobia day a symbol of respect for religious and discrimination against Muslims. However, the Islamophobia day initiated by neighboring India did not have a major impact on Muslims in India.
The Dilemma of Islamphobia : Why Islam is Hated?
The undeniable situation is that until 2022, Islam is still the second largest religion in the world after Christianity when combined (Orthodox Christianity, Protestant Christianity, Christianity) amounted to 2.38 billion. The Muslim population currently stands at around 1.91 billion and is predicted to become the largest religion by 2070 by the World Population Review. Islamphobia implies a phenomenon where one side of Islam is progressing and developing but on the other hand Islam is also something that is hated. This is a matter of debate to this day. Actually there are several important things that must be understood to explain the state of Islam phobia.
First, it should be noted that Islam is a divine religion (a religion that came from the sky brought by the prophets which is a perfect religion from the previous Abrahamic religions) in which its position for Muslim life does not only function as a religion that is believed, but also as a religion. also as a philosophy of life and ideology, this doctrine is accompanied by orders and suggestions as well as an invitation to carry out religious teachings as a whole (kaffah) in the holy book of the Qur’an. This is because Islam has regulated the lives of its adherents from small things to big things, eating sneezing, dressing, trading, state politics, inheritance, even husband and wife relationships. However, what should be noted is that the capacity of Islamic teachings for each adherent has different levels, resulting in different implementations of Islam for each individual, community group and even country. Bigotry that is not followed by tolerance can lead to acts of racism for Muslims.
