I am an American Muslim. I was born Muslim, but both of my parents were born Christian. I grew up mostly in Brooklyn, New York. Let me first tell you that I love Islam. I have studied Islam in West Africa and Darul Uloom...Who Is This Guy?
The Qur’an were directly revealed by God, through the Prophet Muhammad. The Qur’an is a source of inspiration and guidance to Muslims, filled with reminders of God’s mercy and blessings, warnings of punishment for wrongdoers, stories of ancient peoples and the lessons they learned, and instructions for daily living. Terrorism cannot be justified under any valid understanding of the Islamic faith. The entire Qur’an, taken as a complete text, gives a message of hope, faith, and peace to a faith community of one billion people & more. The awesome message is that peace is to be found through faith in God, and justice among fellow human beings. Muslim leaders and scholars do speak out against terrorism in all its forms, and offer explanations of misinterpreted or twisted teachings.
Alhamdulillah. I couldn’t have said it better myself. I may have to “borrow” this comment for a future post.
