Why do some Western people have a hard time believing that Allah created the world?

I’m not here to preach, just sharing a thought. I’ve found a lot of peace in Islam, and I truly believe the Quran has answers to many of life’s big questions. It’s not about being Arab or Turkish, but personally I connect more with the way Islam is practiced in Turkey. It feels more balanced and down-to-earth.

Sometimes I wonder if people’s subconscious beliefs or past experiences make it harder for them to consider different spiritual ideas. Have you ever felt that way? Just curious what others think.

They don't.

They have a hard anti-Arab bias, is all. If you say "God created the world" they'll agree. But say "Allah created the world" and they'll think you're peddling witchcraft.

This, despite "Allah" being what a Arab speaking Christian would use to say "God".

So don't stress about these things, not everyone needs to be on the right side, for the truth to win. In fact, it's usually only a few that ever reach the truth., as not everyone matters.

Congrats on your faith journey, by the way. Insha'Allah you'll go far.

So the "some Western people" known as atheists believe God created the world and just have a hard anti-Arab bias. By letting the some Western people be atheists your answer gets taken the way you want it to be taken.

Because in the west, science has "answers" and any book can offer answers but better than answers would be good answers and correct answers.

Islamaphobia combined with the fact that christianity is the most popular religion in christian-cultured nations such as the US, the UK, and Canada

It's not that they have a hard time believing it it's that they don't give a shit

Um, because Allah did not create the world maybe?

[Darklydarkened]

Because it's nonsense
