Love Jihad and media propaganda against Islam

All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
Assalamu alaikum, May peace be upon you,
Sub: Love Jihad and media propaganda against Islam
Enemies of Islam have been trying to defame this true religion of Allah, the Almighty God since its beginning. Nowadays they foul-mouthed to malign the pure term of Jihaad in Islam with an ill-gotten intentions to label the prohibited act of flirting with Kufaar/ disbelieving woman by some name sake Muslims as ‘love jihad’ in Kerala. According to them, these so called Muslim youths are deliberately falling in love with Hindu girls to convert them to Islam and so, they called it as ‘love Jihaad’.
It is obligatory upon every Muslim to love Jihad because, to strive and struggle in the cause of Allah is Jihaad in Islam and so, to strive and struggle against the own evil thoughts, whims are also Jihaad in Islam. But it is not the idiotic utterance of the prohibited act of love affair with a girl before marriage. Even Muslims are not permitted to love/ romance with a girl from Muslim community before marriage then how a judge from the high court of Kerala could name this love affair with a Hindu, polytheist/ idol worshipper as love Jihaad?!! It shows even some of the people from Judiciary are fascist minded and fanatic. Alas!!!!!!! A monotheist believer i.e. Muslim, are not allowed to marry a polytheist/idol worshipper (Hindu etc) according to Islam. Furthermore, this dirty venom and exaggerate news of illegitimate terminology “love Jihad” taken up by some of the fascist propaganda "news papers" to defame Islam and Muslims. Are these crooked minded people resting in the heaven of buffoons to believe that this anti Islam propaganda would damage to the fame of Islam, the true religion of Almighty God?!!
It is not the first time Islam faces irrelevant criticism from its enemies as well as people who do not know anything about Islam. Islam, the religion of Allah, the Almighty God never stands or encourages anti social elements and hence, it remains as an only practical solution for the entire problems of the world. Because of this reason, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and so, many people embracing Islam especially in America and Western Europe. Author Samuel Huntington predicts that "Muslims in the world will continue to increase dramatically, amounting to 20 percent of the world's population about the turn of the [21st] century, surpassing the number of Christians some years later..." If Islam, the religion of Almighty God promotes the quality or attribute of being unstable and irresolute, why do these people accepting Islam? Because, people finding peace and confidence by believing in Allah, the One and Only God through denying all human gods and goddess.
And say: "Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism or this Qur'ân) has come and falsehood (i.e. Satan or polytheism, etc.) has vanished. Surely! Falsehood is ever bound to vanish." (Al-Isra 17:81)
The simplicity of Islam and its appeal both to reason and to the heart accounts for its tremendous appeal. With teachings about God, human responsibility and the life hereafter which are very similar to those of Judaism and Christianity, it insists on the necessity of living a pure, God-centred life following the natural dictates of a balanced mind and conscience, following the guidance transmitted through the last prophet of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him). It honours the previous great prophets of the Bible, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and many others (may peace be upon them all), and also reiterates the belief of early Christian communities concerning the prophetic mission of Jesus (may peace be upon him), ascribing divinity to the Creator alone.
A Muslim (one who submitted his will to Allah, the Almighty God) should not follow the speculations and rumors. As we know many news are based on hypothesis and speculations. Majority of our Medias are interested in sensational news. Unfortunately, nowadays some people have accepted a method to obtain famous or to sell his/her books more in market by writing blasphemy on Islam. Medias are giving very much importance for this peace of writings and hence, trying to malign Islam.
In fact Islam, in terms of its beliefs and practices, is a threat to all capitalistic countries as well others since Islam strictly prohibiting flesh trading of woman, prostitution, drugs, adultery, lesbian, gay, homosexual, lottery, alcohol, abortion, interest/usury etc which is one of the inevitable features of every capitalistic country. They gradually realized this fact that if people accept Islam it will be a threat for their existence and hence, trying to tarnish Islam through their media as a terrorist religion. Through this sort of propaganda they are trying to create a misconception about Islam to prevent people from accepting it. But they can not put off the light of this true religion as Allah says in Quran:
Wherewith Allâh guides all those who seek His Good Pleasure to ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness by His Will unto light and guides them to a Straight Way (Islamic Monotheism). (Al-Ma'idah 5:16)
With the prayers for the peaceful life here and the hereafter
