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...
This is the debate that I have been involved in numerous times over the years. I have asked many Imams about this issue and the response is normally the same. The last response I had was that "you get 10 times the reward" for reading it in Arabic without any supporting evidence from Qur'an or authentic hadith. Some people will not even accept any religious debate about Islam when it is done in English, yet the same people will lear...

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.
