“Because you can’t bomb terrorism-you can only bomb people…Sometimes you might kill a terrorist-but that doesn’t end terrorism; it only encourages more of it”.

It is believed he recorded the message following the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January. Are you kidding me?
“The greater the reaction against Muslims in Europe, the deeper the West becomes involved in military action in the Middle East, the happier ISIS is”, VOA quoted Atran as saying in a story Monday. What have you done to contain them, by the way?
Leaders from the Kelowna Islamic Centre are reacting to what happened in Paris on Friday, and are condemning the attacks. I didn’t like Saddam…but at least we didn’t have war. In creating the Islamic State they are carrying out the will of Allah literally as they find it in the Koran. He insists ISIS doesn’t represent the religion of Islam, a religion for which he has obvious sympathy dating back to his early childhood.
It is rather important to see Islam as a source of faith and spirituality for billions of people in this world.
As Muslim communities think about how to respond, however, it is necessary for them to think long-term, to what kind of world we want to see.
He did not blame Muslims or Arabs for the attacks on America, he blamed terrorists.
Democratic candidates including Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders declined to do so, Fox News reported. Ann Coulter implied that Muslims of the United States should be deported.
Shareef added, “we have to fight against all types of hatreds”. Authentic religious leadership has to deal with religious extremism, wherever it is and from whomever it comes.
“What does your religion, our religion, my religion, Islam teach us?”, he says. A tribute in Lille for the victims of the attacks was disrupted by demonstrators carrying a banner that read: “Expel the Islamists”.
Despite common misconceptions about Islam, members say any form of violence contradicts the core teachings of the religion.
“We can not give up”. And often Islam is misinterpreted by those extremists committing heinous crimes but this time Muslims around the globe have taken a stand against terrorism and extremists misinterpretation. It is hurting us not to be realistic about that. We should not forget the context in which the terrorist attacks take place: It is invading Afghanistan and Iraq, bombing Libya (which Cameron and then French President Nikolas Sarkozy called “choosing democracy”), funding and arming the so-called opposition in Syria, killing innocent people by drones in Pakistan, Yemen, and elsewhere, supporting the worst dictatorial regimes such as Saudi Arabia’s, and suppressing peaceful opposition in Bahrain. This politically correct insanity was responsible for our failure to investigate Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan’s known connections to violent Islamist ideas, and that failure arguably resulted in the deaths of thirteen people.
Obama’s apparent non-strategy is to be patient and allow other nations to do what they will but to tiptoe softly so as not to offend Muslims everywhere, including his new bestie, the Iranian regime. The more victories they achieve, by the way, the more recruits they acquire, so good luck with the sweet-talking. France is the fourth-largest exporter of arms, after the USA, Russian Federation and Britain. ISIS calls them apostates. They’re calling them evil and unrepresentative of their beliefs.

“But we must work hard together, all of us against Deash, whatever our religion, our colour or language”. In that short space of time, we’ve made miraculous discoveries; we’ve engineered air travel, walked the moon, discovered how to generate electricity and how to harness its power, unearthed cures for otherwise terminal disease; despite it’s faults, the human race is an wonderful one. His latest book is “Jesus on Trial: A Lawyer Affirms the Truth of the Gospel”. What an age of presidential denial.
