Why dont muslim leaders speak up about terrorist attacks?

Answer 1

Leaders of the American Muslim Political Coordination Council (AMPCC) held a meeting in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, to issue the following points related to the terrorist attacks:

1) We assert unequivocal condemnation based on our religious values and our identity as American Muslims;

2) We do not need to defend every maniacal incident emanating from the Muslim world or the Muslim community, just as other religious groups need not defend their extremists;

3) We offer compassion to the victims and solidarity with all Americans in the face of danger;

4) Notwithstanding the disbelief that anyone following the faith of Islam could commit such a heinous crime, we condemn the act regardless of the identity of the perpetrators;

5) We deplore the irresponsible reporting that twists the realities and complexities of the Muslim world in order to project only anti-American sentiment during this disturbing period when we are all attempting to move beyond the state of mourning for the national tragedy;

6) We warn against opportunists who will exploit the misery and hysteria of the public in order to promote a political agenda aimed at tarnishing the name of Islam and Muslims;

7) We should not diminish our resolve to be active in protecting the civil liberties of all Americans and struggling for justice both locally and globally;

8) We need to organize activities to help the victims medically, psychologically and in every other way we can.

the muslims r afraid tht they will get slagged off. anyway im a muslim but the people tht carry out the terrorist attacks r only muslims by name. jihad or holy war is only meant to be used whn u r attacked and need to defend urself. even thn capturing the eneny is commanded rather thn killing thm. nowhr in the quran does it say tht u will go to heaven if u do hose terrorist attacks. u will go 2 hell for eternity.

We Christians need to lead the way by getting the Archbishop and the Pope to tell Bush and Blair to stop napalming the Muslims. That will be a good start.

Answer 4

The Six Day conflict became into in 1967, you're thinking of the 1948 conflict. And sure, the favored version is extra propaganda than fact. on a similar time as the Arab governments engaged in the worst varieties of threats and sabre damn, they actually gave the Palestinians little or no by utilising way of financial and armed forces help, and the thought Arab armies poured into Palestine to force Israel into the sea is organic unadulterated BS. The Israelis did in actuality have have the stronger forces in 1948 and the consequence of the conflict became into in no way fairly uncertain, it became into Israel that captured the lion's share of Palestine, no longer the Palestinians.

Answer 5

We don't have leaders. Which leaders would that be exactly? We are all equal in Islam and do not put on higher than the other. Why dont you speak up about Bush's act's of terror? Why dont Americans speak up about the 36,000 plus dead Iraqi men, women and CHILDREN? As Muslims we do march and protest and renounce violence. But do you think they are going to show that on CNN? Come on, grow up......
