I am Muslim; they are terrorists

Muslim condemnation of the terrorist attacks was not limited to France. (I’ll come back to that groupist description in a moment). Muslims at the Chantilly mosque said they want to do more than just pray for peace – they want to help contribute to it.

This time, hundreds in Kashmir condemned the wave of attacks in Paris, with hardline leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani saying the “killing of innocents in the name of religion is in no way justifiable”.

Therefore, I say with logic and evidence that the religious war is nonexistent, and the fight with ISIS will only cease to exist once a widespread revolutionary ideological warfare is engaged against them. As a Muslim, I know the exasperation of having our religion hijacked and used for something that was never its objective.

A new ad released by the Democratic National Committee Thursday accused Republicans of equating “all Muslims, with terrorists”.

I am as committed to my American identity as I am to my Muslim identity, but I often can not feel fully at home in either due to misunderstandings and poorly managed conflicts between the two.

Syrian refugees do not deserve this ire.

“However, 20 per cent of Nigerian Muslims had a favorable view of ISIS when the poll was conducted in the spring of this year”.

Dalia Mogahed, research director at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding in Washington, an organisation that seeks to amplify the voices of American Muslims, has answered that question with a cogent “no”.

Following the Paris raids, anti-Muslim graffiti has appeared in many places.

Rejecting the simple response that the killers were not genuine Muslims, the text for imams in Lyon said: “Good will is not enough, nor are nice speeches”.

“I do think about these things”. And to be suspected of doing something so monstrous, simply because of your faith, seems very unfair. Security fears after the Paris attacks have also seen states reintroduce checks at once-untended frontiers.

Now that’s just the facts.

It’s not the authorities who are going to get rid of them…it’s us.

Donald Trump: “We do have a problem with radical Muslims”. Doesn’t make sense? Of course, the literal definition of a Muslim is a follower of Islam. Of course, there are other ways of making the argument.

New research has found that people in 11 countries with significant Muslim population hold overwhelmingly negative views about the Islamic State, with Pakistan being the exception.

Muslims do not form a united, homogenous entity.

Braiki entreated his fellow Muslims to report any suspicious activity to the authorities without worrying about being seen as a “turncoat”.

Associating the actions of the Islamic State and other terrorist groups that claim to follow Islam with the entire religion of Islam in order to create the notion of a powerful anti-Western threat is asinine. “Daesh (Isis) are terrorists with a fascist ideology”, said Mraizika from the UMF.
