How Muslims around the world are condemning Paris attacks and Islamophobia

The attacks started outside of a soccer stadium just outside Northern Paris, where two suicide bombers set off their explosives.

A total of 129 people have been reported dead, 352 injured, 99 of them in serious condition.

Mohammed warned his followers that a people would arise “who read Quran”, who would be more religiously observant than any around, but that “nothing of Islam would go past their throats” – that is, they would talk the talk, but never walk the walk. Earlier this year Islamic terrorists attacked the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing eleven and wounding eleven more, before killing a police officer and fleeing. But the French people have shown resilience throughout history and I have no doubt that they will overcome this act of barbarity.

“Don’t judge the entire 1.7 billion Muslims in the world by the actions of a couple of terrorists”. Albania’s three. 2 million predominantly Muslims who live in peaceful coexistence with Christian communities.—9:25 p.m. A minute of silence for the victims of the Paris assaults was held ahead of the European Championship qualifier between Sweden & Denmark. It was said by George W. Bush after 9/11, Tony Blair after 7/7 and Tony Abbott after the Sydney attack last month. I firmly believe that it is through the mutual cooperation of both the French Muslims and other citizens that we can put an end to these acts of barbarity once and for all. Ms. Le Pen has mocked Mr. Hollande as weak and stirred French nationalism by vowing to close borders.

I’m more concerned by the latter. “Speaking of the attacks, he said that he “[did] not want to speculate” as to who might be behind the attacks. I will take no certificates on what is right and what is wrong with my religion from hypocritical trolls and members of the sensationalist media, who have little understanding about Islam.

Concerns were also raised by the Muslim leaders over the blaming of Syrian refugees for the attacks.

He said security in the country has been the same for the past few months and the level of potential threat to Wales remained high and had not increased following the Paris attacks. As a matter of fact, numerous victims of terror groups like Daesh have often been Muslims themselves and Muslims themselves are leading the fight against Daesh be it forces from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates or Turkey.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, fast-growing global revival movement within Islam.

“We are revolted by this heinous attack on civilians”, declared Nihad Awad, the Executive Director of CAIR. When the news first broke about the bloodshed, I, like most Muslims, thought: “Please don’t let the attackers be Muslim”.

In responding, moreover, we might look to the original sources of Islam itself to back us up.
