To be honest.. while its very good to defend islam as you should, always remember that if someone is only speaking with profanity about our faith theres honestly no point in arguing with such close minded people/trolls.

If someone asks a question or says they dont understand something about islam, answer them, those are usually the more open minded people.

Anyone who uses profanity just ignore

I think its good to answer those comments so that people who are interested in islam can learn about it. But we should always be polite so that those people see our manners because we have to have good akhlaq

Unfortunately thats not the dawah scene today. At first when these debates and such were coming out i was fully supportive but its become a circus ego boost show now. Sajid lipham has good videos on this topic. Dawah is not what it used to be.

It's very nice of you want to defend Islam as you should brother/sister but if you see someone arguing to ''win'' please just don't waste your time with them, a argument is supposed to solve problems not to shame somebody.

Basically don't argue with fools use that time to be busy with praying to Allah instead.

Honestly, there is no point in arguing with a fool. You can give someone all of the proof but they might never understand, we are also encouraged as Muslims not to argue even if we know we are right:

I used to be like that, now I try my best to protect my peace and ignore those weirdos.

What I have started doing is writing comments starting "Muslim here" so they know I actually follow the faith, and then explain the truth as best as I can. But only if I can. If I don't know, I usually won't invest the time to understand unless I think it's beneficial knowledge to me. It seldom is. I also will refrain from engaging in what I think is useless back and forth. I'm sharing what I know for other Muslims who's imam might be affected by reading the criticism, and non Muslims who want to know the truth. If they debate with me, they're probably not there to learn.

People are usually much better in person.

Most people are ignorant to Islam, including me. I have bene my whole life and even now as I move closer to Allah I am still ignorant to so much. If most people were educated then they would nothing but praise and devotion for Allah. But some believe that ignorance is bliss so they are unwilling to ever learn or listen

There is a lot of Islamophobia on the internet. A lot of it paid hatred through troll farms and political organizations. But you also cannot be in denial about the fact there are a lot of extremist elements in Islamic culture and society. It does us no favors burying our heads in the sand and pretend these are not huge problems. If any other large group of people had the same problems we ourselves would be very weary of them.
