West asked to differentiate between Muslims, terrorists

BIRMINGHAM: Speakers at the 18th annual Khatm-e-Nabuwwat Conference here urged the world to differentiate between Islam and terrorism and do not mix them up.

Around 10,000 Muslim scholars from all over the world attended the conference and dubbed terrorism as anti-Islamic, says a press release. They urged the United States and the European Union to differentiate between Muslims and terrorists.

Recommendations were made to set up more Islamic centres in the world to boost the image of Islam in the western world. Addressing the first session of the conference, chief of Aalami Majlis-e-Tahaffuz-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwwat Maulana Khwaja Khan Muhammad claimed that $ 20 million had been dedicated by Ahmadis to convert Muslims.

The Muslim Ummah should take steps to foil such attempts, he said. He asked Muslim countries and organisations to instead dedicate $ 40 million to avoid such conversions. He said all claims of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be Jesus and Imam Mehdi proved false. At the same time he asked the Christian community to give up supporting Qadianis.

Saudi scholar Dr Saeed Ahmad Inayatullah said allegations of Muslims involvement in terrorism were biased. Religious forces were not involved in terrorist acts, he said, adding terrorist attacks the world over were carried out by specially trained terrorists who had no relation with any religion.

"Terrorism is an anti-Islamic behaviour," he said and blamed anti-Islamic forces for global terrorism. He claimed that 600 Qadianis got guerrilla training in Israel. He demanded of the US and European governments to freeze the bank accounts of Qadiani cult the world over.

Chief guest of the conference, Amir of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind Maulana Asad Madani said the Muslim Ummah is ready to give whatever sacrifice was needed to protect the belief of finality of Prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad (Salla Allaho Alaihe Wasallam). He said defamation of the Prophet be declared a crime at international level. The foundation of Qadiani belief is laid on the hypothesis that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani is the reincarnation of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he said and added the said Mirza claimed in 1901 in one of his books that he was prophet.

Maulana Abdur Rasheed Rabbani said to eliminate the politics of terrorism it was necessary to implement the Islamic principles in their true spirit. Other 'izms' and systems had failed, therefore, Islam should be accepted as a complete code of life. He resented targeting the Muslim Ummah on the plea of terrorism.

Maulana Saeed Ahmad Jalalpuri said the ratio of embracing Islam by non-Muslims had risen a great deal as 1,450 people embraced Islam in Oklahoma, America, last year. Hafiz Ikramul Haq Rabbani said actions against Muslim charity organisations were taken on the instigation of Qadianis and meant to strengthen the funds of anti-Islamic elements.

Secretary General Jamiat Ulema-e-Britain Mufti Muhammad Aslam demanded of the European governments to stop Qadianis from depicting Qadianism as "True Islam". "Their books contain blasphemy," he said and sought a ban on Qadiani books.

Mufti Khalid Mahmood urged the need to set up Islamic centres in the world to boost the image of Islam in the west and depict its true teachings. He asked the Ummah to set up welfare organisations to stop missionary activities in the garb of social welfare.

On the occasion, 10,000 Muslims vowed to protect Islamic principles, stick to the belief of finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and resist anti-Islamic forces. A resolution adopted on the occasion declared terrorism as anti-Islamic and urged the US and European Union to differentiate between Muslims and terrorists.

But will they renounce and condemn bin Laden, e.g., by name? No.

They are not sincere.

[Sir Gawain]

Whatever.

[Threepwood]

Other 'izms' and systems had failed, therefore, Islam should be accepted as a complete code of life.

I suspect there is teeny logical flaw there. How has Islam succeeded where these other systems failed? Nothing but across the board success? Very sloppy.

I for one will be happy to do so when Muslim spokesmen tell me how to separate the terrorists and their supporters from other Muslims at a glance.

They urged the United States and the European Union to differentiate between Muslims and terrorists.

And what does he think we've been doing? Playing spin the bottle?

If he really wanted to help he and the rest of the Imams and Mullahs would issue a Fahtwa on all terrorists trying to hide behind Islam and order all of the faithful to turn in any Terrorist trying to hide behind Islam. Directing that the faithful turn them in to the US, UK, or any of the other of the participating Coalition partners HUNTINGthe terrorists.

If they don't do that they are just making noise for the sake of noise!

And while we are at it, the Pope can do the same for anyone who participates or helps the IRA conduct terrorist activities. When an IRA terrorist is caught and when convicted the Pope should excommunicate their "six" with predujice, to borrow a phrase out of Blacks Law Dictionary.

I do not hear the Muslim leaders here and around the world speaking out. What are they afraid of - speaking the truth? Is that too alien to them?

[ChadGore]

When Al Queda starts to be an "equal oportunity employer" when it hires homocide bombers, I'll think about it.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

On the occasion, 10,000 Muslims vowed to protect Islamic principles, stick to the belief of finality of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and resist anti-Islamic forces.

Does this still mean death to all non-Muslims? Ask Salman Rushdie how easy it is to be labeled anti-Islam. They should be targeting the Imams who support the terrorists and hate everyone else, even other Muslims, not the West. Since they didn't, nothing has changed.

"But will they renounce and condemn bin Laden, e.g., by name? No.

They are not sincere."

They are playing word games. What Bin Laden and the other Islamonazi's due isn't "terrorism". Therefore it's okay. ONly Isreal and the US or any other opposition to Islam is terrorism.

I wonder if Charlotte Kates of Rutgers University is one of the converts to Islam? Her hatred campaign is more typical then the mouthings reported here. Perhaps she should be asked the question. ckates@pegasus.rutgers.edu

Methinks the admonition should be directed towards a different audience! The West is not confused about the subject.

[EvilOverlord]

We will differentiate between muslims and terrorists when muslims differentiate themselves from the terrorists. We in the west hear nothing from muslims but "Death to America" and encouragement of the terrorists. We see nothing but dancing in the streets over dead Americans and dead Jews. When we hear muslims consistently speaking out against terrorism and when we see muslim governments rooting out terrorism and those who praise it, we will differentiate.

Here in the real world, we respond actions taken, not to unearned claims of victimhood.

Around 10,000 Muslim scholars from all over the world attended the conference...

No scholar of any mentality is going to believe Mohammed is a messenger of God.

West asked to differentiate between Muslims, terrorists

How???

[Do Be]

I do not hear the Muslim leaders here and around the world speaking out. What are they afraid of - speaking the truth? Is that too alien to them? Yes, of course, it is.

Which Muslim country celebrates Truth?

What place on this entire planet is better off for being Muslim dominated?

What value have Muslims and the religion of Islam brought to the world?

[FreedomCalls]

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when the Imams at the Grand Mosque in Mecca cease to use the Friday prayer to call for the destruction of Jews and Americans.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when the Imams in Baghdad cease holding bomb-belt making classes in holy Muslim Mosques.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when the world's oldest terrorist, Yassir Arafat, is condemned by Muslim Imams.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when Imams condemn terror acts.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when Muslims in Iraq clear out the military weaponry hidden in Muslim mosques.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when Mulims love their children more than they hate Jews.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when Saudi Arabia, the protector of the most holy Muslim sites, is ran by people who do not fund terrorism.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when the Saudi funded Madrasas teach science and math rather than methods of murder and hate.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when ...

... you fill in the rest.

I consider myself a tolerant person. However, I do not differentiate at this point, and it will take a lot more than a conference and some words spoken there to make me change my opinion of Islam.

Right now, I do not see it as a religion of peace. (Sorry, GWB, but this is one of the stupider remarks you have made since becoming president!)

I do not want any muslims as friends or neighbors. I do not trust any of them, period.

Now, when I see a change in muslim behavior, I will reconsider. So far, nothing I have seen, behaviour-wise, from any of the Islamic nations or groups makes me think that they, as a group, deserve any respect or acceptance.

If they do not like my thinking this way, it is easy to change my thinking. All they have to do is change their behavior, and I am not talking about terrorism here. I am talking about support for terrorism, silence about terrorism, and tolerating terrorists in their midst.

A man is known by the company he keeps.

[Cachelot]

What value have Muslims and the religion of Islam brought to the world?

Here's a fun experiment.

Get yourself a large map and mark out the spread of Islam over time. Transparent overlays are excellent.

Then make a series of overlays over the same time period, marking the spread of desert.

You'll be amazed. Or perhaps not ;).

[FreedomCalls]

I left out a big one.

I will differentiate between Muslims and terrorists when Muslims stop committing acts of terrorism.
