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.

Islamic World News
'Osama bin Laden operating from Pakistan': US

Just days after US ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson said that Quetta had become a major base for the Afghan Taliban, United States Deputy Chief of Mission in Islamabad Gerald Feierstein also stated that Mullah Omar is operating from Quetta.

Feierstein was of the view that Osama bin Laden is operating from the tribal areas of Pakistan and maintains that the control centre of the Afghan Taliban is based in Quetta.

He said that the United Stated has conveyed its concerns to Pakistan government and that both governments are in touch on the matter.

On the issue of Blackwater or any private security company operating in Pakistan, Feierstein said that all such rumours are unfounded.

Feierstein stressed that the security agency Inter-Risk was only providing security to the United States embassy in the federal capital and said that all the dealings of the agency were fair and transparent.

Libya signs bombing compensation deal with US, Islam,Terrorism and Jihad, NewAgeIslam.com

Libya signs bombing compensation deal with US
15 Aug 2008, REUTERS

US victims covered include those who died in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people and the 1986 attack on a Berlin disco that killed three people and wounded 229, Libyan officials said.

It also covers Libyans killed in 1986 when US planes bombed Tripoli and Benghazi. Forty people died.

In Washington, a State Department official confirmed the signing of the comprehensive deal. Ties between OPEC member Libya and the United States have improved dramatically since 2003, when Libya accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and said it would stop pursuing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

Since then, the United States has dropped many sanctions, removed Libya from a terrorism blacklist and restored diplomatic links after decades of enmity.

Muammar Gaddafi's Libya has slowly emerged from its international isolation. But Libya objected early this year to new US legislation to enable terrorism victims to collect damages from governments such as Libya by having their assets frozen.
