islamicstand on terrorism

[Anonymous]

Dear friends,

Throughout history, human society has suffered from terrorism, violence, and extremism. This suffering has increased in this day and age, causing physical and moral damage to many communities and culminating in an international phenomenon which preoccupies the mind and causes concern to everyone seeking peace, security and stability.

Islam, undoubtedly, has a clear stand on terrorism, violence, and extremism and on their causes as it abhors such phenomena and combats them, calling for cooperation with others to protect mankind from their dangers and consequences. Given its complex nature, terrorism requires scientific investigation which addresses its roots, causes, consequences and the ways to combat it.

In order to clarify the position of Islam on these phenomena and to expound its moderations, goodness and call for dialogue, the idea arose to hold a conference entitled ‘The Stand of Islam on Terrorism, Violence, and Extremism’ at Al-Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud University.

I am very aware of what the American media and especially the American government has put a twist on Islam to be evil and all to be terrorists. Look at just after 11/09. Tons of attacks on Islamic establishments across the country because no-one was ever clear on what a terrorist was, mainly pointing out that they were all muslim extremists.

Funny how the same thing didn't happen to blue-eyed white Christians after Timmy McVeigh blew up that building in Oklahoma, isn't it?

Interesting you state the U.S. government has put a spin on Islam. I'm not aware of that at all, in fact the very opposite. It's the fanatical Mullas and Imans who manage to spin their very own Koran.

Not funny at all. Are you lamenting something here?[/quote]

 

[Reverend Blair]

I'm not lamenting anything, Grimy. I am outright stating that the present US government is racist and intolerant of non-fundamental Christians.

Yes and yes. The US government is biased against Islam and Moslems. They are going about bombing everything Islamic in revenge for 9/11. Also, give the green light for Israel to do what it likes in the Occupied Land.
