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.

Islam in practice: '100 women raped daily in Karachi'
'100 women raped daily in Karachi'

KARACHI: If a Karachi police surgeon is to be believed, on an average 100 rapes take place in the port city of Karachi alone, and mostly working women are the victims.

He said because of the "lengthy medical process and delayed justice system in Pakistan", only 0.5% of rape cases are reported to the police.

"On average, 100 women are raped every 24 hours in Karachi city alone, and a majority of them are working women. I am saying with full authority that such a large number of rape cases happen in the city. But very few rape survivors have the courage to come forward in search of justice," Additional Police Surgeon Zulfiqar Siyal said on Monday.

He added that a majority of the victims working as domestic help.

How Obama Earns His Nobel,Islam and the West, NewAgeIslam.com,

Islam and the West
How Obama Earns His Nobel
by Aijaz Zaka Syed

The London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) reported in February that at least 260 drone strikes had taken place since Obama took over, killing 535 civilians, including 60 children, in Pakistan. Many more have been claimed by the aptly named Hellfire missiles since. The BIJ report noted that the killing machines in the sky do not spare even those rushing to help the victims or survivors. Even mourners are routinely targeted – a pattern that has been diligently followed in Afghanistan.

The day Obama’s counterterrorism czar went public defending the indefensible, Salon, a respected US-based publication, did an interesting feature on Shahzad Akbar, a UK-educated Pakistani lawyer who has been valiantly fighting for justice for drone victims. Introducing the crusader, Salon wrote: “If you want to see how Obama’s drone war efficiently turns America’s friends into adversaries, meet Pakistani attorney Shahzad Akbar.”
