Rick Turnip: Steps on the road. Many Muslims imagine themselves to be Mohammad conquering Arabia at the head of an Army, but this was a very small part of his struggle. Ten years of his time as a Prophet was spent being ridiculed in Mecca. Most Muslims do not like to imagine themselves as that Mohammad. Muslims want to be the violent, powerful, vengeful Mohammad but they don't want to work towards it and they don't want to imagine that Mohammad was ever tolerant.

Aishabee: Masjids must be vigilant about extremist rhetoric and behavior this year and be at the forefront of stopping them.

We are living in a very difficult time for Muslims in America. Saving our lives and the lives of our neighbors is a sacred duty. We are proud of the parents of the Virginia five, the Minneapolis eight and the Nigerian father who reported their sons’ descent into extremism to authorities in 2008 and 2009.

If a person spouting extremist ideas in your Masjid is not dangerous, you need to immediately counsel him for moderation. But please adopt a zero tolerance policy for any type of extremism in your Islamic center or organization.

Almost all Muslims are concerned about wars and would like to see peace, but no one should allow his or her anger to take the law into their own hands. So listening well within our communities is crucial for all Imams and Muslim leaders.

Ask your board to adopt a formal zero tolerance policy towards extremist talk in the Masjid.

In addition, encourage your mosque’s Imam to give Khutbas to encourage the civic participation of our community members. We can oppose wars by joining peace and justice groups that focus on changing the policies of our nation. This encouragement can channel legitimate anger at injustice into positive action, instead of frustrated community members lashing out in extremism and violence.

You are finally awake, you've been sleeping for a very long, it's already 2013. you can spread the message to the brothers in Birmingham, they need it.

auwal87:
It is with dismay how this so called "Boko Haram" sects are playing in this country, their ideology is totally UN-ISLAMIC, I have listened to at least 5 Boko Haram members (or those with the same ideology) but argued that it isn't an excuse to fight Jihad in a place where your freedom is not violated (at least of free speech, movement, business, and religion) no where in Nigeria you will not practice any religion, whatever religion you are you can practice. Women can cover their whole body without any question? Men can marry up to 4 wives without any question.

Islam is a religion of peace in the fullest sense of the word.

PEACE TO YOU ALL!!!

TCD: Started three years ago and Even while on the FP this thread is dead like a ghost.

Where are the Nairaland muslims to come and denounce terrorism and murder in the name of Allah? Innocent women and children are dying daily and it doesn't bother them. Is islam not a religion of peace anymore?

You will not see Maclatunji , vedaxcool and co on this type of threads. But let one Sam Okitikupa realease a crappy movie on how ......Then they all will suddenly appear speaking plenty useless grammar.

BetaThings:

Read this. That was 2 years ago
https://www.nairaland.com/576809/nigerian-muslims-lets-wake-up

And BTW do you know what time it is in Nigeria?
we did not see you there incidentally
The other post you commented on was made so active mostly by non-muslims who are also doing their bit here

And you don't have to be abusive to make your point
We don't abuse your pastors

Incidentally your CAN that has always indirectly spoken about freedom of speech recently said (and rightly so BTW) that they would not allow Jesus (AS)to be abused

TCD:
How typical. What makes you think I'm Christian? If I tell you I'm muslim what would be your excuse?

TCD:
Hope the abuse comment wasn't directed at me. Coz I fail to see where I abused anyone, not my style.

TCD:
How grande, two years ago? Why don't you dig up another from 220 years ago. Wow, because terrorism in the name of Islam ended two years ago. So why bother.

As at last night, islamic terrorists are still wreaking havoc allover the world. One would expect cries against extremism each time such incidents occurred the same way our resident Nairaland Muslim cry babies wail without fail each time a cartoon or wacky movie is made about Mohammed. They never fail to come and give us the same old "condemnations".

But boko haram, Al quaeda and the likes are murdering thousands in the name of Allah daily. They only send one muslim to preach about it Once every two years.

All well and good If killing innocent people really "UN-islamic" why aren't you people shouting it at the top of your voices against those who are tarnishing the name of islam?

When you guys are serious about ending terrorism please let us know. Not this charade being put up. We are tired of being blown up in the name of Allah and muslims keeping silent about it. Islam is fast constituiting itself as a nuisance to mankind, you guys better sit up else one day, one day, Monkey go go market, and e no go return.

BetaThings:

I will not believe you. If I believed you I would suggest that you moderate your tone.


It was. Read what you wrote.



It is clear that Nothing we do or say will satisfy you. Your warning is noted but it is very far off.
Have a pleasant day!
