Islam Condemns Religious Extremism

Originally posted in The Huffington Post The spate of violent crimes being committed by mentally deranged, religious hypocrites is very concerning, and could not have been ordered by God the Almighty. Thus crime and terrorism such as San Bernadino, Paris massacre, Charlie Hebdo shooting and other violent acts perpetrated by terrorist groups like Boko Haram, Al- Qaeda and ISIS have no connection...

Green man calls Islamaphobia ‘alarming’

To the editor: The rise of Islamaphobia in America is alarming for me as an American Muslim. I, along with countless others, have lived peacefully in this country, being a sound citizen while practicing my religion freely. Donald Trump’s recent comments have lead me to wonder why should people of my faith be treated differently because of what an extreme minority do? If we held this same attitude...

Why must Muslims apologize for murders, but not Christians?

The attack in San Bernardino, which left 14 dead and many others wounded, was a terrible and tragic incident. As an Ahmadi Muslim and a human being, I must strongly condemn the shooters for this heinous crime which violates humanity and the religious teachings of Islam. Neither this incident nor any incident involving lunatics committing acts of murder should ever be politicized or...

Does the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Speak for Islam?

Originally published in Patheos Dr. Stephen M. Kirby is a noted bigot whose mission is only to spread hatred of Muslims.  He makes no bones about his hatred for Islam or Muslims.  His stated goal is to prove that the violence committed by the likes of ISIS is inspired by the “true” Islam.  The problem for him, and others like him, is that when groups like the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (AMC)...

Retaliation against terrorists justified

Originally published on GoErie.com By targeting a soccer game, restaurant and concert hall, Islamic State terrorists tried to upset the normalcy of ordinary Parisians. Places like those targeted are the sort of spots where the ordinary young folks of Paris gather on the weekends to unwind after a week of work. Now the responsible powers of the civilized world should give the terrorists an...

The Jahils of Jhelum

Originally published in The Daily Times Sir: Once again, a minority community in Pakistan is under siege. Be it Shia, Christian, Hindu or Ahmedi, the jahils (illiterates) keep doing what they do best: exert violence for no reason. We are fighting a war against terrorism and the Pakistan army is making every attempt to defeat extremism but the mindset of the common people in Pakistan is not...

Terrorists have taken peace from now-grieving families

Originally posted on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzete  With their despicable acts of terror inflicted on innocent Parisians, the Islamic State group is trying to suck more and more countries into the war in Syria. These cowardly terrorists have not only taken the lives of 129 people but also have taken peace out of the lives of 129 families. I wish and pray that God may grant patience to the bereaved...

Muslim group condemns terror attacks

Originally published in The Cross Timber Gazette On the evening of Friday, November 13th, nearly 130 people were brutally murdered in attacks in six separate sites across Paris, France. ISIS has claimed responsibility and President Francois Hollande has called the attack “an act of war.” The barbaric attack against innocent civilian lives in Paris, France is condemnable and we extend our...

Muslims allowed jihad only in defense of religious freedom

Originally published in The Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette After suffering grueling punishment for 13 long years in Mecca, Prophet Muhammad and his small band of believers had reached their Promised Land, Medina. There, the majority chose the prophet as their ruler. Prophet Muhammad gave them a constitution that would grant freedom of religion and equal rights to all its citizens —...

Both types of fanatics are wrong on cartoons of Muhammad

World peace is at stake because of two extreme, fanatic ideologies (“2 Killed Outside Muhammad Cartoon Contest,” May 4). One group of people want to satisfy their hatred and prejudice by mocking the Prophet Muhammad by making, publishing and organizing competitions to create humiliating caricatures under the garb of freedom of expression while the second group wants to avenge this with the...
