Home >> Middle East Anti-Fundamentalism Terrorism and Muslim Women: Why Moderate Muslims Do not Stand Up To Radical Muslims Ghazal Omid - 9/11/2007 Recent articles about a Muslim woman doctor, who received death threats after speaking out on Al-Jazirah network against Muslim hardliners and terrorists, has been generating publicity for the right people and for a well justified cause that seldom gets enough attention, even though it would work to our advantage in the war against terrorism. If God Had A Vote... Ghazal Omid - 8/27/2007 Watching last night's news, which is already inundated with speculation about future elections, made me wonder: With all the promises that men and women, some of whom are even preachers in Christian churches, make to God and man, how much do they really care about what they say...? Condemning Assault On Taslima Nasreen Syed Ali Mujtaba, Ph.D. - 8/15/2007 Let me first condemn the assault on anti- Islam writer Taslima Nasreen. The label attributed on her being a Muslim reformist writer is a misnomer. Such pretensions should be unmasked dealing with characters like Miss Nasreen. She is not the first writer that comes under the bracket of anti- Islam writer. Such writers have started surfacing in Europe since 15th and 16th century. Ad Islam spread across the globe the tribe of such writers grew in number. So there is nothing new about Ms Nasreen’s action. She should be approached with this position and none should get trapped in her Islamic name thats just an illusion. Seyyed Hossein Kazemeyni Boroujerdi, A Voice Of Moderate Shiah Islam Ghazal Omid - 6/21/2007 Renegade Ayatollah, some call him. Most of the Iranian human rights activists, including me, know him through his late illustrious father and through his bold actions in Iran in 2005. His is the first voice of Moderate Islam echoing aloud from Iran. Tragically, the government of Iran, seemingly, will soon succeed in shutting him down if we don’t move fast. The Ayatollah and 17 other members of his family were sentenced to death in a private court session in Zafaranieh Tehran on June 10th, 2006. Although very ill and suffering from Parkinson disease, he defended himself in the Iranian court where he did not even have access to a lawyer. Do We Want An Islamic Reformation? Fjordman - 5/25/2007 In an article by Dutch writer Margriet de Moor looking at Islam in Europe. Perhaps the most grotesque quote from this essay is that she sees the Netherlands as a large-scale laboratory, and says so with obvious approval. A great example of why Multiculturalism is a massive experiment in social engineering, every bit as radical and dangerous as Communism. Ms. De Moor lives in some kind of alternate reality where "Europe's affluence and free speech" will create an Islamic Reformation. But Muslim immigration constitutes a massive drain on the former, and is slowly, but surely destroying the latter. |
