My opinion of the recent attack in US. -------------------------------------- This is not the way to take the revenge for what is happening in palestine and chechnya if US is supporting Israel against the muslims. It is the muslims who has to unite and fight with those who has anti muslim policy in this world. But it is very sad to say that muslims does not have to time to come out of their luxurious life and see what is happening to the community. Palestine problem cannot come to an end untill and unless the rich muslims stops giving the financial aids to the palestinians.Where is all the finance going ultimately? Everybody knows where it is credited. You think that after all the millions of dollars they receive they can`t afford to form an army and equip them with weapons atleast to protect them. But you see they are fighting with the enemies by throwing stones at them. This clearly shows that those responsible in that country does not wish the fight and the struggle to come to an end because finally the funds are also going to stop coming in. What happened in US is nothing but just an attempt out of frus- tration. Such an attempt is the work of a weak and sick person. for example if two men one weak and one strong fights it is obvious the weak one has to take the blows but the weak cannot go and kill the innocent wife and children of the strong man to take revenge as the attack on 11th sep. So my opinion is let us get our house straight before showing such frustrated child like bravery as we showed the world that how illetrate, uncultured and weak we are. In your letter you have mentioned about the innocent 20 million afghanis suffering in the would be US attack. Why they have to suffer and leave their houses, they dont have sense to protest in their country and insist their rulers to remove their so called honoured guest and come to their senses. How can a muslim tolerate a guest who is putting the life of the 20 million host in danger and spoiling the image of the billions of muslim around the world. Because of one, all muslims are suffering thru out the world. The image of Islam is tarnished overnight. To build again would take decades. Kindly reply to my views expressed such openly. Iwould like to know where I am wrong. I am also apologising for any sarcastic remarks I must have expressed in my views. MAY ALLAH BLESS MUSLIMS
Opinion on New York City Attacks
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Anyone who understands Islam and follows the clear guidance of the Holy Quran, will agree that what happened in
This incident has hurt the cause of Islam, because the western media has tainted the name of Islam and the muslims with the one same brush! The religion of Islam cannot be held accountable for the misdeeds of a few people, just like the religion of Christianity was not labeled with barbarism and genocide through the acts of Hitler, or of John Timothy, or of Mussolini, or of Slobodan Milosovic, etc. When these evil people commited the crimes against humanity, we did not ask the Christian world to wake up on the right side of the bed and not on the side of terrorism! So why do ignorant people today want to make the acts of a few people a clash between the Western and Islamic civilization?
We are but pawns in the turn of events that take place in the world. We have half-information about almost everything that transpires, and the media (not the Truth) plays an absolute critical role in determining who is good and who is evil. The one who is able to shout and scream the loudest is the one who is heard! Make no mistake, we as muslims, condemn this and every act of terrorism that is enacted anywhere in the world.
Allah and the History of the Muslims is witness that Islam has always been very tolerant of the other religions of the world; but we see today that the secular world is not tolerant to Islam. We live by a Divine Code which is unchangeable, and Allah is our witness, we do not want to change it. All we ask is to live, and let us live in peace.
Your Brother and well wisher in Islam,
