So what are we to do?

Yes there are a lot of foolish people when it comes to the subject of islam. And yes a lot of those foolish people are in high leadership in our country. But a lot of this foolishness, I believe, can be attributed to just lack of knowledge and understanding. So many people establish their opinions on the major news and information organizations, without doing any study on their own, it's really no wonder we are in the turmoil in our nation. What we get from the major media is usually the exact opposite of what is actually good for this country. So what do we do? What is it going to take to shake of our national lethargy. The concept of each one teach one comes to mind. Understanding the importance and urgency of our message. Allowing our own convictions to come through our words and attitude. Truth, knowledge and sincerity should go a long way in winning this battle we are in. I hope and pray
