Wa alikum @logical Alhamdulillah, I was fortunate to be born into Islam. Alhamdulillah means Praise God in Arabic. Has being Muslim been easy, no, but nothing in life is easy. Allah swt burdens everyone because this life is a test and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. He does not burden a soul with more than what that soul could handle. In regards to your questions, I see that @deletejuice and @q2025 have provided with great responses and information. There is no compulsion in acceptance of religion as it says in Q2:256 "There shall be no compulsion in \[acceptance of\] the religion....." Everyone born into this life is born a Muslim and then your parents dictate your faith, be it Muslim or convert you to otherwise. Humans have this innate inclination to recognize God's oneness. We call this the fitrah. For those, like q2025, who came back to Islam are known as reverts. Anyone leaving Islam have been converted out. There's a difference. Regarding the media's portrayal of the Muslims & Islam whether in movies or in the news, this was already foretold. The Prophet (pbuh) said "Islam began as something strange, and it will return to being strange, so give glad tidings to a strangers." People of no understanding will attack what is strange to them and they'll do anything in their power to villanize in hopes that a Muslim would assimilate to their way of life. Or as Allah swt says in Q2:109 "Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves \[even\] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent." I can't speak much about the stabbings in EU because I reside in the US. In regards to the cousins marrying one another, this is halal (permissible). Allah swt clearly spells out what is not halal (haram... prohibited) in Q4:23 "Prohibited to you \[for marriage\] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your \[milk\] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship \[born\] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And \[also prohibited are\] the wives of your sons who are from your \[own\] loins, and that you take \[in marriage\] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful." Lastly, "Islamists desire to take over the world" - I mean taking over the world would be nice. If I took over the world, I'd be like Mensa Musa. Everybody would have their sustenance met and plus some. Islamist is desire to take over the world is laughable. In modern-day society, have you ever seen any 'Islamist" take over the world? By the contrary, it's the Western Hegemony has been dictating the terms of world domination. You have people like Klaus Schwab same things like - you will own nothing and like it.
