Japan is the most 'Islamic' country with the least Muslims. The problem isn't their behavior
Japan is the most 'Islamic' country with the least Muslims. The problem isn't their behavior—it's their view of God.
Everyone says it, and now I see it myself. The Akhlaq (character) of the Japanese people—their respect for elders, their hygiene—is the closest I’ve ever seen to Islam. But there’s a massive catch. The issue isn't hate; it's Theology. In a culture where worshiping everything is the norm, the concept of an "Exclusive God" (La ilaha illallah) feels restrictive to them. Is it "selfish" to worship only one?
Watch as we dive into why the traction for Islam is slow in Japan despite the lack of Islamophobia.
