We must keep in mind that political Islam is very much extremist. The intolerant form of Islam, regardless of the faith’s otherwise large heart, has painted a bleak picture of it across the globe.

Pakistan’s Fall To Extremist Islam Could Be A Huge Political Earthquake
Pakistan, for instance, remains a country with over 200 million people, having nuclear weapons and the largest military in the Muslim world. Pakistan’s fall to extremist Islam could be a huge political earthquake in the Islamic World.
UAE Becomes The Single Biggets Advocate of Religious Tolerance
The United Arab Emirates has become the single biggest advocate of religious tolerance across the Muslim world, and also in the non-Muslim world. It is pertinent to state that Pope Francis visited the United Arab Emirates, making it the first Gulf country where a Catholic Pope was graciously welcomed. The Jewish community has also been allowed to build a synagogue. Moreover, the Hindus have been allowed to build a temple as well. The Mormon community will be building a temple in Abu Dhabi soon. The United Arab Emirates has done everything to prove to non-Muslims that the heart of Islam is big and that Muslims are tolerant.
