In fact , I confess that there are poor people in Islam as in any other religion . I am a Muslim and what I can advise my fellow Muslims and myself that if they return to the true Islamic instructions , they will give a better picture of Islam . Only because they have become weaker they are a prey for whoever likes wars and invasions like USA , RUSSIA and Serbia . They caused a great deal of harm to Muslims in Chechny , Caucasus regions , Afghanistan , Iraq and Bosnia i Herzegovine . This is a kind of punishment from Allah as we did not abide by our religious instructions faithfully .

As a conclusion I advise you and myself to fear Allah and to return to our Qur'aan . Maybe the Islamic picture in the world will get better .
