Say: "Unbelievers! I do not worship what you worship and
you do not worship what I worship. Nor will I worship what you
worship nor will you worship what I worship. You have your
religion and I have my religion." (Qur'an, 109:1-6)
These verses that start with the word "Say" describe for the
Prophet (pbuh) the most perfect democratic system and the means to
be adopted within that system. The surah ends with the words, "You

have your religion and I have my religion." In other words, a Muslim
must not interfere in other people's beliefs while he practices his
own. He must not resort to force and compulsion, and must not
oppress other people because they are not Muslims. He must respect

them and leave them be, saying "You have your religion." And he
insists upon the same respect from them, saying "I have my religion."
The Qur'an, in which force and compulsion are rejected, in which
unbelievers are protected even at the cost of believers' lives, in which
pronouncements command justice even for deniers and in which
democracy is described in the fullest and most perfect way, is the

true guide for Muslims.

In the Islam described in the Qur'an, everyone is free to believe or not
believe, as they so choose. However, because of the false conception
of Islam given by radicalism, some Western magazines frequently
carry reports concerning Islamophobia.
