Polarisation of Religions
Polarisation of religions is between three great religions of the world, namely the Jewish, Christian and Islam. Each of them claimed that theirs is the right one. Notwithstanding, the religion of Islam is the chosen religion by Allah brought down through His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The people of the Scriptures or Books (Jews and Christians) respectively had adulterated their Books (Old Testament and New Testament). Their Books rescinded by Allah when Islam and al-Quran brought down to this world. Thus, the Jews and the Christians despised Islam.
The conflict among them will never end until doomsday. The conflict is synonym with the clash of civilisations. The crux of the whole things is that the Muslims believe in Monotheism of Allah, all the prophets and the original Books revealed to the Jews and the Christians.

    The word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.” This quote by Muhammad Ali shows how people’s perception of Islam isn’t the ideal meaning of Islam and due to ignorance, anyone who is classified as Muslim or Islam is seen as an evil person. This made me wonder what Islam really is, how it is perceived in the Middle East, where most of the region is dominated with this specific religion, and how that view of Islam impacts America. Before beginning to learn about how Islam is seen in the Middle East, I had to think of everything that I already knew about this religion.
