Abstract
West with increasing hatred for Muslims due to extremisms,
Islam is seen as religion of terrorism rather than religion of peace. Although,
we can enumerate the reasons of this misperception of Islam ranging from
political to religious factors; but rather than crying for change from outside
why not we start from within ourselves. This change to bring peace is solely
achievable by means of toleration in our religious ideas and not by spilling
blood in the name of Allah. The following two sections would summarize
Locke’s A Letter Concerning Toleration; discuss the current situation of
Muslims and the negative image of Islam. The third section would consider
the possibilities of how a revival of this letter in Muslim countries would
enable them to alternate their situation or at least demolish the clash
between extremisms. The fourth section would compare the consequences
of religious freedom and pluralism and would analyze how that could be a
threat to Islam. The last section would be a bird’s eye view of 23 years old
woman who feels within her heart that faith and religion cannot be imposed;
in order to live in global peace an act of toleration is required.
