What about the fear factor?

I feel many educated muslims,when they feel an urge to follow Islam they fear the bemock from the society.This fear sometimes if not all time is being hindrance of roaming all around the world with the signs of Islam outwardly on themAt times like this when muslims are being framed as fear triggering agents,these educated people do not even seat with people who pose a beard and wears an islamic dress.I think there is a bit of islamophobia also among our own muslim brothers especially with the case of educated people.

I had these kind of experiences with some of literates and educated people,so that's what I felt.

Muslim community in the world is large enough that all aspects of life can be covered.
We could make a campaign to familiarize people with Islam so that their fear of Islam goes out.
Just think of the tours that Shaikh Ahmed Deedat gave to tourists around his Mosque.

I suppose we should be out there in the open. Either the Tabligh way, or for familiarize non-Muslims with Islam, Internal Dawah or Dawah itself. A lot is left to be done.
