I was raised in a family and society that put religion to the highest place. Very often, people in my village turn to be extremists. Extremism comes in variety structural type in lifestyle, and there always seems a typical denominator in the individual with extremist propensities. There is something external and accusing in their concentrate. There is something about their modus operandi that will not look inward and is constantly on the intimidate others. The extremist likes to win at any price.

My friends neighbors, for example, have joined extremist groups named Islamic Defenders Front. What does this group do? They fight against immoral behaviors, beating drunkard and teens who go dating. For some their acts causes anxiety.

Islamic nations like the Arabic Emirates (Abu Dhabi and Dubai) and Malaysia have progressively designed themselves towards european financial commitment, significance two cultures now are available in parallel: the Islamic community that lifestyles under tight Islamic law and the consumer-crazed, western-orientated community of excessive investing, fancy resorts and excitement of the skin. This contradiction is far from what Muhammad had in thoughts.

Two years ago, I witnessed the attack by these extremist groups to a civil citizens. The reasons: They have attacked their friends. For the group members, people who are not in the group are no different from dogs.

Those who believe the spiritual structure should take a difficult look at what they are getting from it and the cost they will pay for their folly. God is the Excellent Innovative Soul of the Galaxy. It can be experienced and seen by all and it also talks to our inner being. That is it conveys with those who convert away from the can be found and search for the fact. Those who secure faiths neglect it.

Even my friend Harry Noor has been a victim of their anarchy. He was punched by more than ten people in Paciran. It was so sad to hear my best friend is treated that way. No wonders he now prefers online dating to real one.

In a nation where individuals of different spiritual background scenes stay, individuals should have the right way of watching, considering, and getting other individuals of different faiths to make and sustain social balance. Generally, God has given humanity a spiritual beliefs to control them so that they can stay based on God's guidelines. God gives all the animals an equivalent right to stay and to sustain their lifestyles on this world or in this galaxy. So, eliminating God's animals for uncertain purpose is prohibited and even criticized by God. That is the purpose why all significant faiths include the prohibition of eliminating as one of their lessons or guidelines.
