Islamic Issues and Solutions

...

In fact, the contradiction between France and the Muslims is a very difficult contradiction, which can be regarded as the contradiction between modern society and Islam. Islam's doctrine is incompatible with modern society, and Muslims refuse to change, that their own adherence to God is correct, only to comply with the teachings of the Qur'an to revive the Muslims [2]. So that they are caught in an endless cycle, the more they are bent, the greater the gap between them and modern society; the more they see the weakness of Islam, the more they want to return to God's side.

About the security of France

Actually France is not a safe state. We will explain this in two ways. First, France has received a large number of refugees, including many Muslim refugees. In the term of economics, France is a high-welfare country with a high operating cost, and it needs some cheap labor to reduce manpower [3]. Refugees meet the needs of France. At the same time, France advocates freedom and equality, and the practice of receiving refugees is in line with the characteristics of this country. While enjoying the benefits of receiving refugees, France has also undertaken many social costs, the most significant of which is the increase in refugees leading to the chaos of law and order. Second, the law and order of France is poor. The number of French police is small and not competent enough. Visitors in France being robbed is already a very normal thing. Criminal behavior is usually not subject to strict discipline. At the same time the French security is not careful enough, a lot of terrorist attacks can be strictly avoided by the security. The above two factors caused France to be a chaotic state of law, and the success rate of terrorist attacks in France will be a substantial increase.

Conflict analysis and the approach to solving it

Whenever I hear this kind of problem, I really feel sorry for the victims. In a sense, this kind of tragedy does not blame the terrorists themselves. In fact, these terrorists are bound by something that can be explained as the misinterpretation of Islam by some extremists. Most terrorists believe in Islam. These terrorists do not seek money or power, instead they are just guarding their religion. I don’t think the problem of Islam is the problem of religion conflict. Instead, it’s a conflict between Islam and the modern world. This kind of conflict is really hard to solve once for all. Why? Since Islam is a stubborn religion, nothing can change their mind and behavior in a short period of time. We can’t eliminate Islam since it doesn’t obey humanitarianism. What we should do is to change their mind in a slow way and modernize Islam in a slow way. Actually Christianity and Islam are homologous, and they have many things in common. On the one hand, we should treat them equally and communicate more with them to show them the goodness of modern world and persuade them to adopt a new approach to explaining their scripture. In the meanwhile, it’s vital to prohibit extreme remarks of a small group of Islam, which should not be regarded as the disrespect for freedom of speech. It needs time. Now, there is no higher priority than wiping out Islamic terrorist organizations. In addition, it’s also important to strengthen the security. The negligence security is, to some extent, one of the factors that criminals consider to attack.

Conclusion

Islam has a brilliant history of expansion, but now its situation is not satisfactory. Some extremists misinterpreted the doctrine and used the wrong method to revive Islam. This led to a lot of Muslims out of tune with modern society. So, the conflict is increasing rapidly. The key to resolving this conflict is to modernize Islam, which is a fundamental solution. At the same time, strengthening security in the moment is also crucial.
