  • Xinjiang China Controvery over Ramadan and Fasting
    I am posting this because these articles make it sound like Islam in China is not welcomed or in danger and Muslims are persecuted when I do not believe it is true. There may be some truth to the articles but I believe it does not go nearly as far as the articles imply. There are articles from 2011 and recent that are discussing this issue and allegation. Ifirst of all want to point out that some things do not add up, though in principle I do not agree it's wrong if t...

  • Who speaks for Islam? - Gallup Report Disproves Stereotypes Against Muslims & Islam
    Who speaks for Islam? by John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed 14 February 2008Washington, DC - Extremists and terrorism have too often monopolised the media's coverage and thus the message coming out of the Muslim world. But what do the vast majority of mainstream Muslims really believe, think, and feel? What are their hopes, fears, and resentments? Why is it that a robust anti-Americanism see...

  • The US war with Iran has already begun
    The US war with Iran has already begun by Scott Ritter Sunday 19 June 2005 12:06 PM GMT Americans, along with the rest of the world, are starting to wake up to the uncomfortable fact that President George Bush not only lied to them about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (the ostensible excuse for the March 2003 invasion and occupation of that country by US forces), but also about the very process that led to war. On 16 October 2002, President Bu...

  • 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...
  • Why do Muslims come to our country?
    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...
  • A reminder from the Qur'an that without Allah's permission we succeed or fail.
    This ayyat is very decisive and clear, that nothing can beat you if Allah is helping you. Conversely if you've incurred the wrath of Allah by not following his way and his messages, no one in the world can help you. It is a reminder that as much free will and control that we do have in this world, there are still many things we cannot control, predict or change regardless of the knowledge or power we think we have. If Allah helps you, no...
  • The root of modern day trouble in the Muslim World created by Wahhabism/Salafism from Saudi Arabia
    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...
  • Dubai Norway (Marte Deborah Dalelv) Rape Case Truth/Update
    I was shocked and outraged when I first heard of this case on the news because it was a story done so well that seemed to be a clear case of the victim being arrested for no reason. But then Iasked myself some questions and wondered if there could be more to the story? Why would the UAE and Dubai who admittedly depend on foreign investment and Western tourism which they have worked so hard to attract do this? Some less than reputable groups would gleam that "see...
  • More comments on racist hate crime attack in Courtenay BC
    I'm glad to see there are a lot of tolerant posters here. There are a lot of white supremacists who are trying to justify this. My grandparents as immigrants from China are familiar with these tactics, and so are many other groups including Indians, Italians, Ukrainians, Africans and all other minorities. I highly doubt a Hamburger was thrown, and whether it was or not is irrelevant as some said. This is a hate crime, and they didn't hide it like some...
  • Response to anti-Islamic attack which calls for persecution of Islam and Muslims
    Dannyboy56 said: The problem about Jihad is that it is a serious and is exists. It won’t go away by itself. Even if a small percentage of the Muslims are turning radical, that small percentage is too much of a threat if that radicalization translates into violence. ==================== Before I start I want people to know I'm responding to the context of how Muslims are treated in the West, not in China. Because in China I never had any problem as a Muslim....
  • More comments about the recent Uighur and Han violence in Xinjiang
    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 ...
  • Reply To People Who Stereotype All Muslims As Extremists Due To The Actions Of A Few
    Which leader are you talking about and why is he denouncing North Americans? Regardless of what he said, should all Iraqis be portrayed this way even if they don't agree with this one leader's views? Nations around the world criticize North America for all kinds of things, but if they aren't Muslims I guess it doesn't matter to you.I do not support extremism, however, I find it strange how people who are so against Muslims, don't speak out when Muslim civilians are ...
  • How Disgusting
    How Disgusting I have rarely been so upset at the comments I have read and as a muslim I have to vent my frustration about the ignorance of this person and also the media for only showing stories like this. An excerpt from http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050712/w0712126.html where a man in the Netherlands convicted of killing an outspoken critic of Islam gave his closing statements at his trial. He said: "What moved me to do what I did was purely my faith . . . I...
  • Mennochio
    Mennochio Alex McKnight I apologize if this seems rude. But I’m not here to say anything poor about Islam. In fact, I am quiet fascinated by the teachings in the Quran and Prophet Mohammad. But Abrihams article “The Fools they are” caught my eye. He mentioned the 16th century Miller, Mennochio who was eventually killed by order of Pope Clement the 8th. It’s actually a very interesting story, and I would like to contribute by telling your audience about the incident. It was ...
  • I concur
    I concur Nadia, Toronto Visit www.ifamericansknew.com they have facts pooled together by other organizations. Also read up on Amnesty International’s long list of American violations in regards to Human Rights (and the media had you believe that only Muslim countries were ruthless). It’s strange how CBC makes it a long cover story when a Muslim attacks someone, but will barely mention anything on these other VERY SOLID stories. My suggestion to our Canadian Muslims’, STOP r...
  • Of Culture and Religion
    Of Culture and Religion By Areeb Yasir Vancouver The biggest challenge I faced when entering the Muslim religion, by my own accord; was the different cultures involved in the community. It would seem that Islam plays a back seat role to culture. In particular this is the most obvious in the Pakistani and Fijian communities. When I asked a question from one of the brothers pertaining to family life (in regards to if leaving them for 40 or more days for the sake of Jam...
  • American Intolerance For Islam
    I went through an interesting experience on a forum that I enjoy reading through about my favorite car. This is the same day I read that Islamophobia is on the rise in America. (see http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050511/w051194.html) I went through a forum where someone survived a horrific crash and actually walked away. Eventually people mentioned god must have intervened and a few people disagreed but there was no real hostility. However, one person mentioned they ...

    Facts About Islam

    The Same Religion As Abraham, Moses, and Jesus

    Muslims believe that Islam started long before the Prophet Muhammad's time and was the same religion taught by the previous religions and Prophets.

    Qur'an 42:13 The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).
