In a report on refugees out today it noted that "At the end of last year, more than half of all refugees were from three countries: Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia." All three of these countries have Muslim majorities. The question I would pose is not why Islam would cause the refugees in these countries. Instead, I would ask why did Islam's influence not prevent these population unheavals. In other words, if Islam comes from Allah, why wouldn't He do something to prevent this suffering?
If I understand it correctly your question is.. if Islam is from God why does He allow muslims to suffer?
You mentioned that you are jewish..so I can ask you the same question. If Judaism is from God why did/ does He allow jewish people suffer?
We believe that muslims are tested with calamity but also with blessings, to see if we are patient during difficult times and thankfull during good times.
It doesn't mean that the one who has it easy is more loved by God, it's possible that the one who is dealing with difficulties is closer to God.
In regards to the refugee crisis there are more important things to discuss than " your religion caused the refugee crisis" .. and one of them is corruption.
I'm not saying corruption is the only reason why refugees flee their countries but corruption fuels conflict.
It's often a chief contributor to the overall violence and instability forcing people to run for their safety. Widespread corruption undermines the legitimacy and stability of a government,especially if it fails to meet the needs of the people.
The conflict in Syria began as a civilian uprising against corrupt autocratic governments.
Five of the ten most corrupt countries also rank among the ten least peaceful countries in the world.
The trafficking of people and refugee smuggling is a multi-billion dollar bussiness that thrives on corruption.
