Scholars of Islam speak out against terrorism; clarify position of Islam

Monday, September 17, 2001


Dozens of scholars of Islam issued a statement today, condemning the violent attacks of September 11th.

“We are grief-stricken at these horrifying events,” they wrote; “the murder of innocents can never be justified and must not be tolerated.”
In a lengthy statement, professors from major colleges and universities throughout the country expressed their compassion for grieving family members while also decrying the increase in violence against American Muslims this past week. “Anger and frustration are completely understandable and shared by us all,” they wrote “yet that anger must not be directed at individuals utterly innocent of these terrible crimes.”

In recent days, verbal and physical attacks against Muslims (and people who were thought to be Muslims) have been reported from California to Vermont. Muslims have been warned to stay home or to avoid wearing traditional dress. “Particularly distressing is the fact that many American Muslims have fled to the United States, seeking a haven from intolerant regimes in Kosovo, Afghanistan or Iraq. For them now to face intolerance and violence here is an abuse of our Nation’s most deeply cherished beliefs” they said.


Mission Statement

To be the leading Muslim organization in the world for creating awareness about the dangers of terrorism and it's various causes such as oppression, exploitation and injustice, and unite people to stop terrorism.

Assalaamu Aleikum. Welcome to the new home of Muslim Voices for Peace (formerly Muslims Against Terrorism). Our mission is to stand up, as Muslims, against those who preach hatred and violence in the name of Islam, and to promote peace and understanding through interfaith and intercultural coalition building.
Muslims AGAINST Terrorism was founded in the wake of the tragedy of September 11th by a group of young American Muslims. Our goal is to honor the loss of the thousands who were senselessly killed by working to ensure that it never happens again. We stand, as Muslims, against all forms of terrorism in all parts of the world. We seek to increase awareness and understanding about the true teachings of Islam, a religion that preaches peace, love of humanity and service to the community. We are actively engaged in outreach to all individuals and organizations. We seek to inspire other groups and communities to speak up against violence and injustice around the world. Only through dialogue, cooperation, and mutual respect can we achieve the peace and justice the world so urgently needs.

An American Muslim group known as the Free Muslims Against Terrorism Coalition rallied Saturday [May 14th] in Washington, D.C., to denounce radical Islam and Islamic terrorism. Rally organizers anticipated a crowd of many thousands of supporters from the group's 50 local chapters nationwide.

Also, ARealMothersSonForever, our son served in the U.S. Army and also in Iraq. I can't give you private names of these soldiers, but I'm sure you can find out somewhere how many Muslim soldiers there are in the U.S. Army. They fight for you and me, and their blood looks no damn different than yours.

BTW, there are also Muslims serving in other branches of our military. I'm sure you know that and support their missions too in defense of our country and the freedoms we hold dear.

There was an imam in Cleveland talking nice, making friends with Priests and Rabbis, preaching love and peace, finally someone taped one of his services secretly. The hatred and violence he advocated was appalling. The koran teaches its followers to lie to infidels, decieve them, whatever it takes. Thomas Jefferson said muslims will fight by fraud or violence, whatever the situation calls for. I trust NO muslim until they renounce their religion, which explicitly forbids them to be at peace with non-muslims (unless they pay a tax). Any "religion" that instructs its followers to lie when needed and kill when possible will never earn my trust. If I had a say in it, no muslim would serve in the US military, seeing how the koran teaches a muslim to have no allegiance or faithfullness to any country not ruled by islam. I judge them by the beliefs in their holy book, it's the only way they should be judged.

To me the question is: Sharia Law. Anyone, or anything that would impose it must be destroyed.
