‘The general spirit of Qur’an is to extend one’s compassion and mercy to all men and women inhabitating the planet’
Ashraf Amin writes this about Muhammad: “When he was stoned, taunted in the streets of Taif, he instead of cursing the wicked, prayed to Allah that their progeny may accept the message and meaning of Islam.” He is not telling the whole story. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention […]

OIC stresses need to counter terrorism and ‘Islamophobia,’ says Islam has nothing to do with terrorism
They have to keep insisting that there is no link between Islam and terrorism because terrorists so frequently link the two.

Gulf News: ‘Terrorism is most offensive to the Prophet and Islam’
I’d be happy to jump on board with this, but these presentations are always so dishonest. If they would bother to explain passages such as these, then they might have a case. But the problem is not that I am not convinced. The problem is that many Muslims are are aware of these passages and […]
Al-Azhar grand imam says man who beheaded teacher doesn’t speak for Islam, but warns against ‘insulting religions’
Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, said: “I declare that Islam, its teachings and its Prophet are innocent of this wicked terrorist crime….At the same time, I emphasize that insulting religions and attacking their sacred symbols under the banner of freedom of expression is an intellectual double standard and an open invitation to hatred.” No […]
