Despite being an advocate you fail to realise that when followers come under attack for their practice, it is their religion that gets questioned because of the inspiration that these followers derive from the religion. There is no doubt that the religion has influence over the followers' behaviour. Hence, it is more appropriate for muslims to change their behavior to save their religion from being questioned. There is obviously a difference between the interpretations of devout muslims and the extremists but the thing interpreted is the same. So, how do you think the wrong interpretations get corrected and the bad followers brought on the right path if there is no criticism?
As for my belief, I don't need any certificate from any one very much like you do. I, however, like you don't believe for the fear that if there is a God then I will be the looser. But I am confident in what I believe that God has no reason to punish me for telling the truth for the benefit of humanity. I hope you would not question my belief again..
God bless.
