In Search of Muslims against Terrorism
Today I thought I would do a google search for "Muslims against terrorism"
It was great to see The Free Muslim Coaltion at the top of the list. The Free Muslim Coalition has taken a hard stand against terrorism and names Hezbollah and Hamas and other groups like them as terrorist. But sadly The Free Muslim Coalition does not have much backing from the Muslim Community. I have been trying to find out from Muslims why this is but I have yet to receive an answer. You can see where I have asked HERE and HERE and HERE
I have yet to have a Muslim explain to me why there is not a huge Muslim backing for the Free Muslim Coalitions stance against terrorism. If there is a Muslim that would do so please drop me a line.
So I thought in searching google I may find other organizations that have taken a hard stand against terrorism like the Free Muslim Coalition and NAMED terror organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. You would think this would not be asking to much considering they are considered enemies of our country. But apparently for many Muslims this is asking alot from them. Here are my findings in my google search:
1. http://www.m-a-t.org/
While on the website the say 9/11 was horrible there is no mention of organizations that they consider terrorist groups.
2. http://www.rayhawk.com/classics/matusa/home.html
Once again they call the events of 9/11 tragic but no mention of any organization that they consider terrorist.
3. http://www.unc.edu/~kurzman/terror.htm
This site is supposed to lists statements against "Terrorism" the thing that is humors about it is it actually list 2 terror organizations speaking out against the attacks of 9/11. Both Hamas and the Muslim Brother Hood both condemned the attacks of 9/11 according to this page. HA! To bad they are both terrorist organizations and both enemies of America. How Ironic is that a Terror organization condemning terrorism. What would make anyone think that we as Americans would look at that and say "Hey look Hamas has condemned the attacks of 9/11 the must be good guys." You have got to be kidding me. On to the next site....
4. http://www.petitiononline.com/No2Jihad/petition.html
This one is a petition against "Terrorism" looks a little better at first glance they actually name other attacks that they condemn besides 9/11 like the Madrid bombings and the beheading of Nick Berg. But still they do not name ONE terrorist organization by name that they condemn. And you also gotta consider this petition only has 104 signatures. Plus how many of these were actually Muslim or even legit.

This site also names Hamas as denouncing the acts of 9/11. Once again this is ridiculous considering they are an enemy of the United States.

Here you have the LARGEST Muslim organization in America. What is there statement against terrorism. They simply say "We are against acts of terrorism." Yes they condemned 9/11 but they do not name any groups they consider to be terrorist organizations. Actually they even name Hezbollah and Hamas as condemning the acts of 9/11. Once again this is crazy! These are enemies of our country and to name them as people speaking out against terrorism is obscene! Not only this CAIR is full of troubling things which you can read about HERE and HERE
Well I wont post more sites because all of them are more and more of the same thing I have shown above. None of them denouncing or calling any organization terrorist. All they say is "We condemn terrorist acts." Thats great but please define for me who commits these terrorist acts you are talking about. Well I started thinking maybe I am going about this wrong maybe I should search something like "Muslims against Hamas"
To my surprise nothing! Well wait a minute there is the Free Muslim Coalition listed again. But that is it. Not one single other Muslim organization came up condemning Hamas. And the same goes for Hezbollah.
IN CONCLUSION
I have come to the conclusion that the Free Muslim Coalition is the only organization of Muslims that are truely condemning terrorism. They are the only ones that are willing to NAME who the terrorist organizations are. Not one other group of Muslims are willing to do this. Not even the largest Muslim organization The Council on American Islamic Relations. So I think it is safe to say that many many Muslims among us even though they do not vocally support groups like Hams and Hezbollah they will not condemn them for their acts. For me that is very telling.... I do not believe it is ridiculous at all for the question to be ask of a Muslim "Do you sympathize with Hezbollah and Hamas?" I believe this short study I have done shows that is not a ridiculous question at all.... What do you all think?
