Everything You Know About Islam is Wrong

NewStatesman publication

"British Muslims, alienated, frustrated and under siege, need our support." The leading article, Britain has nothing to fear from Islam, in this week's New Statesman special issue on Islam is not the kind of statement we're used to reading from an increasingly Islamophobic mainstream media. The content is that rare phenomenon - balanced and intelligent analysis of Muslim issues:

Tariq Ramadan unpicks the traps set up for us with labels of 'moderate Muslim' versus 'extremists'.

Salma Yaqoob blows apart the myth of Islam's "oppression of women"

If you want to see more positive coverage of Islam then email the New Statesman to thank them - or else you could leave it to the Zionists and Islamophobes to make their complaints...

Tariq Ramadan's piece is fantastic.

 

Nice find MPAC. May Allah

Nice find MPAC. May Allah bless you and all the other Muslim apologists defending Islam in the mainstream

 

It is not the duty of the

It is not the duty of the non-believer to seek out, grasp and expound the tenets of Islam, that is the sole duty of the believer. the authors quoted here whine like snivelling children and offer nothing in their way of mature behaviour.

 

Positive Article but

I can not but feel MPAC is losing the plot by trying to emulate jewish organisations,why do we have to copy these so called zionists to further our own ploitical agenda which I find hard to understand. With population of 2million plus muslims living here in UK I feel they are the worst muslims in the west because very often I discover these muslims are just trying to please the majority in order to justify thier existence; why? another thing which muslims will do often is to treat each other with contempt and use freedom as umberlla to go and practise Islam however they feel,one example is muslim charities that have mushroomed over the last twenty years who provide help to poor people oversea. why can't we start by implementation of zakat here in the UK to support ourselves first where poverty is happening among many sections of muslim community so they do not have go with open palms making visits to jobcentre plus and DHSS offices,muslims can lead by exemplary ways but what I feel is UK muslims are sometime no better than the one's which we criticize

 

Well done, New Statesman

Grim reaper, could you please elaborate on what the quoted authors said that was immature?

Personally, I thought the New Stateman's 'Islam issue' was a very interesting read, with many valid points made that I agree with wholeheartedly.

 

@ Diplomat

The fact of the matter is... What MPACUK is doing is 100% correct and it is for you to prove otherwise. You say we are copying the Zionists... since when has that become non permissible in fact why do you say it like that in the first place? 'Copying the Zionists' Who's to say that? The Zionists are just taking advantage of the political system and the fact that the majority of the population doesn't take advantage of it only helps their cause... Where did copying come into this? MPACUK are telling you to become politcally active and all you're doing is saying no it's haram thus giving away all politcal power to the Zionists. And if you think there is another way apart from 'copying the zionists' then please let me know... don't tell me to establish the khilafah cause i've heard that line numerous times tell me HOW. Because MPACUK is doing more to set the groundwork for a khilafah then any other organisation.

 

maybe I over react

I never said it's haram all I'm saying there is a big difference between muslims and jew's muslims must never become the "new jews"

 

Muslims are becoming the new

Muslims are becoming the new Jews in terms of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.. I would sya they already are... unless... we wake up and take political action for our freedom.

Empowerment through political participation
