Why don’t moderate Muslims speak out against terrorism and the abuse of Islamic women?

February 222010

Are they afraid of being shunned by other Muslims or do they secretly agree with a more radical interpretation of Islam?
What abuse of women in Turkey?

they do

    Likewise at last year’s Hajj, the Grand Mufti, may Allaah haver mercy on him decried terrorism in his Khutbah of Arafah and Hajj is the largest single gathering of Muslims from all over the world.

    ►There is a difference between Muslims upon knowledge speaking out and the general public and news media not paying attention or finding it newsworthy.

    When a terrorist extremist threatens or kills innocents it seems that gets more attention than the many Muslims upon sound Islaamic knowledge who warn and educate their brothers and sisters as well as non-Muslims about the evils of terrorism and murder.

    Subhaanallaah, when one terrorist loser decided to call Barack Obaama and Condelezza Rice "House N*groes", that made front page news. But the efforts of Muslims around the world to combat extremism does not make those pages.

    what makes you think they don’t? if you watch Fox news all day you won’t get a proper perspective on muslims. if you avoid muslims and don’t get to know them and believe all the propaganda against us you will never see the truth.

    by the way, ‘moderate’ is a recent term describing muslims that don’t practice their faith fully, they pick and choose what they like and throw out what is inconvenient.

    fully practicing pious muslims know the Qur’an and sunna and don’t commit acts of violence and don’t abuse women.

    and what brother Not Afraid To Stand Alone has mentioned is proven here with regards to 9/11

    what a great question!! have a star.

    i’ve asked a similar question in the recent past, and i never got any satisfactory answer from any muslim. Excuses, and white lies were most of what i got from them.

    for those who claim that they do speak out but the media does not listen… BULLSH*T!!

    the media would love to feature such "enlightened muslims" who are brave enough to walk down the streets of London, NY, Toronto, Mecca, Islamabad, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur etc. – both men and women shouting "Put an End to Radical Islamist Terrorism!"; "Schools for our Daughters NOW"; "Down with the Taleban"! "Suicide Bombing is Against Islam!" carrying placards and banners etc.

    tell me, when was the last time we saw such sights and sounds in our streets all over the world? i have been waiting for ages – NOTHING !

    or maybe its becuase they are just too occupied protesting against the West, America and Israel. That they can always find the time to do while coveting the media coverage.

    muslim women who want to fight for their rights in my country have met with all sorts of persecution from the men, many in the government and lawmakers. so i do know what i am talking about.

    What a great answer by abo haroon.

    Most of us DO speak against terrorism, but this is not what people want to hear. The media doesn’t want to show the good side of the muslims, that muslims are good people, that muslims are not terrorist. Its not in their advantage to make the world symphasize with islam, their intention is to make Islam look bad like its a threat to us all!!. How else would they get their oil and petrol? How else would they keep muslim countries down? How else would they continue to occupy and cage palestinians for 60 years? How else would they invade iraq and kill sadam? How else would they have invaded afghanistan? How else would they get the world ready to now invade Iran? How else would they make the world fear an imaginary threat so they could go by on their business of raping the world resources?

    Those muslims that you see in the media or internet website killing people and doing/saying stupid things, man we cant even relate to them. "You must know Islam’s firm stance against all these terrible crimes which have been attributed to it. The world must know that Islam is the religion of peace and mercy and goodness; it is the religion of justice and guidance. It is a religion that prohibits all forms of injustice and the shedding of blood without genuine reason,"

    About women:
    O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should you treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the dowry you have given them – except when they have become guilty of open lewdness. On the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If you take a dislike to them, it may be that you dislike something and God will bring about through it a great deal of good. (4:19)

    The Shari’ah (Islamic Law) regards women as the spiritual and intellectual equals of men. The main distinction it makes between them is in the physical realm based on the equitable principle of fair division of labor. It allots the more strenuous work to the man and makes him responsible for the maintenance of the family. It allots the work of managing the home and the upbringing and training of children to the woman, work which has the greatest importance in the task of building a healthy and prosperous society.

    Oh and btw if you feel sorry for muslim women, dont! We are happy and we feel respected and taken care of, honestly we dont need your symphathy because actually in reality we are the ones who feel sorry for YOU. We like being women and are not trying to be men like you. Every society has jerks, your telling me that no christian man beats his wife? BS Your telling me that no jewish man cheats on his wife? BS! stop magnifying all the faults of the islamic world and take a look at yourself because your not exactly charming either…

    To speak out against Terrorism and the abuse of Muslim women (under Islam) is a direct attack on the values instilled by Muhammad and Allah:

    Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:
    Allah’s Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, AND I HAVE BEEN MADE VICTORIOUS WITH TERROR (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).

    See also: Sahih Muslim Muslim Book 004, Number 1062, 1063, 1066 & 1067 (for example).

    Quran 3:151: We will cast TERROR into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust.

    * Women can be beaten if their husband FEARS dischord (Q. 4:34)
    * Women are deficient in Intelligence: http://www.wikiislam.com/wiki/Women_are_Deficient_in_Intelligence Muhammad appealed directly to the Quran as evidence of this (Q. 2:282)
    * Women are like "domestic animals": http://www.wikiislam.com/wiki/The_Farewell_Sermon

    In fact, view this whole page: http://www.wikiislam.com/wiki/Qur%27an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Women for information on why speaking out against abuse of women (in Islam) would be unislamic.

    How many Muslims do you know that would speak against Muhammad (ahadith) or Allah (Quran)? The peaceful Muslim’s (those who cherry pick what to follow and what not to) DO NOT HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON because the "radicals" are the ones who ARE following their texts.

    sani and audacity, perfect answers!
    to the folk that seem convinced there was no muslim involvement in 9/11… ignoring the monstrous mountain of evidence for one moment… all those videos of Osama Bin Laden admitting and taking credit for it in his own words just weren’t enough to convince you huh?
    You’re just so brainwashed it makes me sad

    i agree, i think they just don’t want to get involved abit like as long as they don’t harm me, ill keep quite.
    maybe if there was more moderate muslims like me who stand up against these scumbags, we might not be labeled the same.
