Disassociating Oneself From The Muslim Identity Because Of Sectarianism
Religious discrimination is only one layer of discrimination. In life there are many more such layers based upon country, region, language, political views, gender, etc. One should be able to live with their identity despite challenges and learn to deal with them. Simply removing any identity that gets in the way leaves one with no identity whatsoever, and we know that unless one chooses a life of complete solitude, that’s not feasible. If you consider yourself a follower of the Quran and the Sunnah then you have a Muslim identity that you should be proud of. If your circumstances make it difficult to claim that identity then you should think about how to change those circumstances first and foremost for your own self, then for your family, and then if you have the resources for others as well. Simply hiding behind a different identity is not a solution under most situations.
