The Straight Path is a blog about Islam by Ruth Nasrullah. Ruth made a comment on TMV and I wanted to raise the profile of this welcome voice to public discussions of Islam.
Her latest post is Muslims who condemn terror
…one of my readers suggested a response to the widely-held but inaccurate opinion that Muslims in this country do not condemn terror. He said that a petition from thousands of Muslims speaking out against terrorism might have an effect. Although I can’t provide exactly what he suggested, I’ve created this thread and invite Muslims far and wide to post their thoughts about terrorism.
I’m going to start with links to a few organizational condemnations, and then individuals and heads of other organizations can start posting.
Me first: I personally condemn all acts of terrorism committed by Muslims and non-Muslims.
Here’s the official fatwa (ruling) of the Fiqh Council of North America, the major Islamic religious organization in North America, condemning terrorism.
Here’s a link to public condemnations of terrorism by a variety of Muslim groups.
Here’s a link to a 9-page list of Islamic organizations in the US condemning terrorism.
