The Islamic holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims from across the globe fast from dusk till dawn, began last week. I will be one of the many proud Muslims enjoying the spiritual and physical blessings of this month. In addition to personal gains, Ramadan is a month of sacrifice and service to our fellow man. “The Holy Prophet (saw) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to become more generous in Ramadan.”
In the spirit of giving, the Ahmaddiyya Muslim community aims to feed 100,000 Americans in food drives and collect 5,000 pints of blood. The real Islam, the truth that is not seen on TV, is that Islam is a religion of humility, peace and love for all. For an entire month, Muslims will forgo the pleasures and ease of food for the sake of building empathy with those that suffer. We sacrifice to help others and make the world a better place. This is the true Islam.”
This piece disgusted me. There’s no recognition of the horrors that Muslims are imposing on people. Mr.Dard could be using his excellent writing skills to condemn Muslim extremism; instead, he tells us how wonderful Islam is when we can clearly see it’s filled with violence and subjugation.
