Congo Tanker Fire Deaths Falsely Attributed To Islam by BetaThings: 4:11am On Jan 28, 2012 |
http://www.france24.com/en/20100703-democratic-republic-congo-deaths-explosion-fuel-tanker-fire Tanker caught fire and burnt hundreds watching a football match in Congo during the World Cup in South Africa The incident captured in the link above has been used severally to paint a very bad picture of Islam. No doubt, Islam has its extremists. And we know that extremists existed during the time of the prophet (PBUH) who cautioned them about their excesses. But this incident has nothing to do at all with Islam But the desperation leading people to concoct lies gives me cause for worry. While the normal human reaction is that of pain and grief, what some chose to see is an opportunity to "score" a religious point. If what they are canvassing is the truth, does it need a bodyguard of lies? Same story in NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/04/world/africa/04congo.html This is another thread opened on NL solely to paint wrong picture of Islam through falsehood By the time you read up to the comment no 7, it gets very interesting https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-431142.0.html Muslims, let us remember that we cannot employ falsehood "O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah , even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted" Qur'an 4 : 135 |
