  • When Government Agencies Manufacture Terror
    This is quite alarming if the RCMP (Police) in Canada could even manipulate and coerce, vulnerable, addicts who became Muslims. A lot of rhetoric calls for "Muslims to speak out against terror and stop it". How can we stop it when the police are the ones behind it and possibly other governments and intelligence agencies? In fact if we look at most cases of terror no one is ever held responsible for organizing or creating the terror. Sufficient investigation i...
  • Fighting Terrorism is what the Prophet Muhammad did and is the Duty of All Muslims
    Terrorism was rampant when the first official Muslims appeared when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)began his prophethood and received divine relevation. Even though our Prophet is gone, we still have the most important gift from him, the Holy Qur'an which remains intact and universal to all Muslims since it was revealed. John Esposito sees Muhammad as a reformer who condemned practices of the pagan Arabs such as female infanticide, exploitat...
  • 10 Steps to Permanently Defeat Islamic Terrorism
    This article is based on the phenomenon of certain individuals and groups specifically seeking to stop or defeat Islamic terrorism. First and foremost shouldn't all terrorism be stopped regardless of ethnic or religious background? To suggest that terrorism is perpetrated by specific religions or groups only encourages others to engage in it especially if they feel no one is paying attention because they are of a different background. In fact if we look past judging what i...

    Yes, it's 2017 and this is really a serious question for many in the West, especially Europe and the USA. The last time a similar question was raised, we had the holocaust, millions of lives were lost and the displacement caused a ripple effect in the middle east causing millions more to suffer and perish. So things are not looking too bright but this is an opportunity to educate those who were not aware of the reality for many Muslim countries for decades and longer in recent h...
  • How divorce cases are handled in Islam
    There are many more ayyats about divorce and marriage but this one is significant because it shows you cannot just say that you divorce your spouse 3 times as some believe. Arbitration before a judge is required with each side being represented by their family and the purpose or preference is that they work out their differences. If ye fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family, and the other from hers; if ...

    This article is meant to educate and inform the readers about history and facts about Saudi Arabia's history and current events that affect both non-Muslims and Muslims around the world. Saudi Arabia is home to the world's holiest cites in Mecca and Medinah and should above all be held to the highest standard of Islam and for mankind, but has failed completely on all levels to follow the Qur'an and to be a peaceful and positive force in both the non-Muslim and Muslim world that we are e...

    I think this is very important when reading the Qur'an, it gives you an idea of the context and situation it was written other.

We must remember the conditions each verse was made under, and also take into consideration other supporting verses when reading and interpreting the Qur'an. If one verse...

    I am very saddened at the violence in Xinjiang, where fellow Chinese (Han and Uighur) have been fighting amongst each other. I hope that the people of Xinjiang will not fall into the trap and violence that was set by separtists. Regardless of your ethnic background, China has the policy that "everyone is Chinese" and that achieving peace and harmony can only be done through equal treatment of all citizens. I also do not think it is fair to villify Uighurs ...

    Our response:I'd like to reply first of all by saying you cannot take random verses out of the Qu'ran and come to a conclusion.
