Preventing Further Radicalisation Is the Challenge Muslims Must Undertake: Some Concrete Suggestions
Now the question is, how do we go forward? If we really want to make a difference, we will have to start a substantive dialogue with the ulema and make sure that they agree to...
Is It Time Muslims Standardize A Contextual Qur'an, Asks A Reader. Yes, Perhaps, But Building A Quran-Based Islam, Shorn Of Deviations, Will Not Be Easy.
What do you mean by logical order, Hamza Saheb? Do you mean chronological order, which would also restore primacy to Meccan verses of universal significance? After all, it's in a chronological order that early Muslims including the Prophet (saw) must have understood and memorised the Quran. They could not have memorised contextual verses that had not been revealed yet, as those situations had not arisen by that time.
Facing The Jihadist Challenge: Muslims Need To Refute Jihadis’ Xenophobic, Supremacist, Millenarian Thesis And Focus On Islamic Pluralism, Says Sultan Shahin At UNHRC In Geneva
Facing the brutalities of Islamist terror, while President Obama will not go beyond calling it violent extremism, the head of Sunni Islam's oldest seat of learning, Jamia al-Azhar admitted in a counter-terrorism conference in Mecca that extremism was caused by “corrupt interpretations of Quran and the sayings of Prophet Muhammad”, and Islamic curriculums needed to change.
Facing The Jihadist Challenge التحديات الجهادوية: المسلمون بحاجة لإبطال نظريات الجهادويين المتعصبة والمعادية للأجانب بالتركيز على التعددية الإسلامية، يقوله سلطان شاهين في مجلس حقوق الإنسان
إن المرء يتصور أن أتباع الإسلام الذين آمنوا وكثير منهم يؤمنون بالتأكيد، أن الإسلام هو دين الروحانية والسلام والتعايش والتسامح، سيكونون مع السلاح ضد ما يسمى الدولة الإسلامية. ولكن في حين أن الاستنكارات الروتينية من بعض المقاطع تأتي في بعض الأحيان، لا يوجد هناك الغضب الواضح في المجتمع المسلم. العالم يلاحظ أنه في حين أن عشرات الآلاف من المسلمين يخرجون إلى الشوارع للتظاهر في وقت هناك ادعاء مما يسمى الكفر ضد أي واحد، لا يكاد أن يحتج أي مسلم على وحشيات لا تعد ولا تحصى يرتكبها الإرهابيون الإسلامويون. من
C’est idéologiquement que les musulmans doivent affronter le terrorisme islamiste : une réforme de l’Islam est nécessaire
Nous vivons à une époque de terrorisme islamique. Au massacre d’enfants à Peshawar a succédé le massacre de journalistes à Paris. Treize ans après le 11 septembre, le monde se trouve face à une menace plus complexe, plus diverse et plus dangereuse. Alors que l’accent a été mis sur l’action militaire à l’encontre des terroristes, le défi que représente leur idéologie est resté dans une large mesure sans réponse.

Desecration Of Quran: Time To Dig Up Reasons!
by Durdana Najam
Since Samuel P Huntington has theorised the concept of clash of civilizations in the 21st century and beyond on cultural and religious basis, first in his article and then in his book, the world seems to have grown more intolerant and insecure. Identities have always been an important area of concern in human life. The tribal setup has had a strong tendency to preserve identity by means of language, mannerism, religious symbols, etc. Every religion epitomised symbolism to build a distinction about itself among other religions. Clashes on the basis of cultural and religious biases have a primitive history. Perhaps Huntington had thought that after attaining super academic heights and relentless technological breakthroughs, human beings would dump the tribal instinct. When that instinct in its natural course unfurled simultaneously in many parts of the world, opening new wounds and bruising the old, Samuel was taken aback and a theory came about that had nothing new about it.
