In our modern society there is much talk about Islam being a progressive religion, how Muhammad was a keen feminist, an advocate for women rights, a protector of the venerable and an all round decent guy, that his attitudes, ideas and beliefs are something that our modern society can really benefit from! But is this true?

How do we respond to those who categorically disagree with our ideas? And more, what if a group of people dare to oppose the status quo of society and its trends. What do we do when society seems bent on policies that undermine all that we know to be true and good, and good for the country? What if we don’t respond and don’t speak the truth?

Phobias, Islam and "Islamophobia" has been in the news a fair bit recently.
