Are Muslims stranded in a deadlock?

I have read very little about the problems faced by the Muslim community in India and outside. But yes, no doubt it it one of the most talked about community because the surrounding agenda of Islamist, radicalisation.

While reading I came across an article saying- 'deradicalisation'. And believe me, I felt good for the humanity. It talked about a lot of measures taken -
1. To stop youngsters to join IS in Syria.
2. To help them with education and jobs in the European nations.
3. Canadian president welcomed refugees wholeheartedly.

As i was reading it I felt great that nations and in general small communities have come ahead to break the deadlock that the Muslim community is stranded in.

I have no appropriate knowledge of talking about who and why this was started. Nobody wants wars! Nobody becomes a terrorist or a naxalite or an insurgent by choice. I do believe that the reasons are far more deeper than we can anticipate.
But the point is, with time the whole community gets engrossed in it and people are mostly brainwashed on religious or some other extremist terms. However, mostly the problems starts with personal agendas and not religion.

As in India's partition,  everything would have started when one Muslim person had belittled one Hindu or vice versa for some minuscule reason or the agendas raised by political parties. Wasn't it a personal issue to start with? Often, people do feel the lack of involvement of government for their issues which has been a case at many places.I believe that this has been a case in many places. But couldn't we deal with it with proper norms or raise our voices according to the rights given to us by constitution? But the problems of ten people becomes the problems for their whole society! And it is justified. because we do want to stand for our own people.
 But with time, slowly and gradually, it engrosses the whole community. And with time, nobody knows what we are fighting for. They take a religious turn at times and we often forget the real issue.The grim part is that these problems are used and often started by political parties to belittle the other party and gets power to rule.

Otherwise, you and me are happy are celebrating both Diwali and Ramzan.

The sad part is that a Muslim is stranded in deadlock situation now.

Why?

People are apprehensive to give them jobs and other opportunities because of the current situation around Syria and there are often harsh situations and ridiculous checking they are treated with.
Because of this on going mistreatment to them they are often driven to the path of IS to fight for their rights.

This almost serves as a deadlock to them.

We have to come out. Not just Muslims. But 'WE'. To understand and tell each other that we have always respected each other's beliefs and faiths. Don't let the political parties and extremist groups take out that faith in each other out of our hearts and start developing one big peaceful world where things can co-exist. We know things have never been equal and amiable. And we have to raise our voices.
