Islamophobia

Islamophobia is the fear, hatred of, or prejudice against the Islamic religion or Muslims generally, especially when seen as a geopolitical force or the source of terrorism.The term was first used in the early 20th century, emerging as a neologism in the 1970s. Its use increased during the 1980s and 1990s and reached public policy prominence with the report by the Runnymede Trust's Commission on British Muslims and Islamophobia (CBMI) entitled Islamophobia: A Challenge for Us All (1997). The introduction of the term was justified by the report's assessment that "anti-Muslim prejudice has grown so considerably and so rapidly in recent years that a new item in the vocabulary is needed".

Parents . Worship . Obedience . Salah (Prayers) . Nafl . Islamophobia

Can you disobey Islamophobic parents to perform acts of worship that are both Mustahab and obligatory like praying Nafilah?

If the parents are Muslims, they should not prevent their children from performing obligatory worship, but if they try to do that for any reason, you must perform your obligatory worship at any cost. If Muslim parents object on recommended worship, you have then to consider not to hurt their feelings and not to make them feel disrespected, specially when their objection on the recommended acts is based on their fear on you or care for you because of their thinking that certain recommended worship can affect your health such as recommended fasting. You should do your best to keep the respect of your parents and avoid any act which might cause them feeling disrespected.

If the parents are non Muslims and try to stop you from your Islamic duties, you are then not obliged to listen to them as no one is entitled to stop us from our obligatory duties.
In anyway you should always keep the respect of our parents even if they are non Muslims. In Quran Allah says in Surah Luqman, verse 15 [But if ( Your parents) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have knowledge, then don't obey them; but behave with them in this world kindly]

Muslims . Shariah . Law . Qur'an . Islamophobia

How does one respond from the Qur'an to an Islamophobe who insists that all Muslims are terrorists and want Sharia law and that the Qur'an says it is ok to lie to the enemies?

Human beings from all faiths and culture have many things in common, one of the most important common thing among all of them is the intellect.

Intellect says that false allegation is wrong and no one can believe any allegation before examining the evidence.

Whatever is been said by our enemies about Islam is based on lies and baseless allegations. We invite every one to study Quran and authentic Hadeeths if they really want to understand Islam. If they study Islam properly, they will know that it is the Real religion of Justice and Peace. If they do not want to read and see the facts, but just to put allegations on us, we can not help them. Life has always witnessed good and bad people when bad people put false allegations on the good people.
