In the name of Allah (God),
I have decided to dedicate sincere and honest endeavour in helping to establish the Truth by helping to defend the good name of the last Prophet (pbuh) of Allah as well as refuting many other lies and misconceptions that are being disseminated by the insincere, wicked, deceptive, intellectually and morally bankrupted individuals as well as the ignorant individuals who all share a faulty characteristic; a blatant disregard for the Truth.
I ask Allah to purify my intentions and save me from doing any good action for self-aggrandizement, as all actions are judged by intentions. May Allah Love me, and bless this work. My message to any non-Muslim reading this is thus:
Please give Islam a chance, research it for yourself and allow Muslims and Muslim sources to be your primary resources you refer to when studying Islam rather than basing your views on agenda-motivated Islamophobic sources.
O Allah, You are Al-Wadud (The Loving)...please O Allah love me and bless all those Muslims and non-Muslims who read this.
Ameen
Al Fadi is somebody who claims to be a Saudi Arabian ex Muslim. He believes Jesus loves Muslims. He also believes Jesus will kill Muslims. Notice the contradiction?
Here's a dialogue that ensued. Yes, Al Fadi does seem to be a confused "ex Muslim"
or just ignorant about the Bible and the Trinitarian beliefs about commands such as 1 Samuel 15:3.
This was a shocking comment from an Indonesian Muslim who explains the depth of dishonesty some Christian missionaries go to in order to try and convert Muslims to Christianity in Indonesia. One of the methods is for the Christian man to pretend to convert to Islam and then once married and with children for the purpose of getting the woman to leave Islam (or whatever other faith she happens to be) and become Christian:
In the Name of Allah the Gracious the Merciful.
It does not surprise me at all. As one who has been in counter missionary da’wah organizations for years I have witnessed this deceitful method happens in my country as well, the most populous muslim nation in the word: Indonesia, and it has been documented by many counter missionary islamic organizations.
One of the most devilish method includes marrying potential conversion (mostly muslim women) in Islamic tradition then after few years after having kids the missionary men revert back to christianity leaving the women have no choice became dependent on their husbands having no income but to follow their husband faith.
I often wonder what motivates this hyper-zealotry other than the work of satan..
A lady wrote made this comment on Blogging Theology and Paul Williams responded: “I left Islam because of two things: Our salvation is always regarded in terms of doubts.”
Did you not know that Muslims have a guarantee of salvation and promise from God about this?
Allah states:
Surah 9:72 Allah has promised to the believers -men and women, – Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of ‘Adn (Eden Paradise). But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah. That is the supreme success.
Allah also states:
Surah 3:9 Verily, Allah never breaks His Promise
Now if you ask the Muslim “are you going to paradise?” he is going to say to you “if Allah wills” (insha’allah). The well informed Muslim is not going to tell you “Yes I am going paradise for sure.” No, the Muslim hopes and prays that he will end up in paradise. It’s not because the Muslim is worried whether Allah will keep His promise, for as we have seen Allah does not break His promise. Rather, it is because the Muslim cannot be sure whether he would continue remaining on the straight path and die as a Muslim and the guarantee or promise of salvation is conditional in remaining and dying as a Muslim.
Evangelical Christians oppose gay marriage as "madness" that is totally alien to Christianity yet when it comes to terrorist attacks on innocent people such as the Orlando shootings, 9/11 and 7/7; it's not called madness. It's called Islam by many American conservative Christians.
All this despite there being more support from Christian authorities for gay marriage than support from Muslim authorities for terrorism!
It seems the word consistency is just not in the dictionary of the Islamophobic Christian propagandist.
You have the modern phenomena of indiscriminate killings of civilians which all Muslim scholastic bodies have condemned to be against the spirit of Islam. Dr Timothy Winter of Cambridge University states "terrorism is the arbitrary targeting of the innocent in order to place pressure on governments, which is something which doesn't have origins in Islamic culture or ethics and comes out of the French revolution and certain 19th century anarchist movements that used terrorism. As a doctrine in the Muslim world it's very recent and it's an expression of Westernisation. Terrorism, 9/11 for instance, according to classical Islamic Law is classified as hiraba which carried the death penalty"
An excellent quote from Muhammad Asad's book rebuking evangelical Christians (Jeremiah Johnston and Craig Evans) who parse terrorist attacks in a similar manner to Islamophobic evangelical Christian propagandists
"Simply put, every Muslim scholar - whether Sunni, Shia, Salafi, Deobandi - has condemned and spoken out against Daesh. Their arguments against Daesh and its acts are derived from traditional Islamic religious texts and based firmly in Islamic jurisprudence".
Contrast that with the modern phenomena of gay marriage. Although there is a growing number of churches, Christian leaders and lay Christians accepting gay marriage as being within the spirit of Christianity, those Christians would dismiss gay marriage as having no place in Christianity.
More Christians who are involved in the Church of England believe gay marriage is right rather than wrong. A recent survey by YouGov suggested 45% of Church of England followers felt same-sex marriage was right, against 37% who believed it wrong [stats sourced from Huffington Post]. According to the Huff Post, the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ and now the Presbytarian Church (USA) sanctify the marriage of two men or two women.
Rev. Dr. Mark Achtemeier, who has served the Presbyterian Church (USA) since 1984 as a minister, theology professor, and writer states there's an overwhelmingly positive case for gay marriage in the Bible:
Fortunately, the church across the centuries has developed guidelines for interpreting Scripture that help keep our use of particular passages in touch with the true portrait of God’s love in Christ. When we apply these guidelines, the Bible’s teaching about gay people and their relationships appears in a whole new light. In my book I show how the application of these time-tested principles of biblical interpretation produces an overwhelmingly positive biblical case in favor of gay marriage. I came to realize how my former reliance on fragmentary, out-of-context quotes from Scripture had led me to lose touch with the “big picture” of God’s love that lies at the heart of the Bible’s witness.
All this in the eyes of the Islamophobic evangelical Christian polemicist is not Christian. Yet if they would just step back for a few moments, they would observe the huge inconsistency they operate on.
There's actually much more support for gay marriage from Christian authorities, churches and lay Christians alike than there is for terrorist acts such as Orlando.
I'd imagine for them, Christian proponents of gay marriage decontextualize and rely on fragmentary readings of the Bible. BUT they are not even cognisant to this being the case for Muslim terrorists and Islam despite:
In 2008, a classified briefing note on radicalisation, prepared by MI5’s behavioural science unit, was leaked to the Guardian. It revealed that, “far from being religious zealots, a large number of those involved in terrorism do not practise their faith regularly. Many lack religious literacy and could . . . be regarded as religious novices.” The analysts concluded that “a well-established religious identity actually protects against violent radicalisation”, the newspaper said.[Mehdi Hasan]
I recently heard rabbi Tovia Singer, a man who has no horse in this race, say terrorists abuse texts from the Quran and Hadith. Ask yourself why a Jewish rabbi can be more scholarly, consistent and fair than these evangelical Christians - a crowd who claim to be guided by the Holy Spirit?
Smart and fair-minded people are not impressed.
You may have come across a Hadith where a blind man kills his female slave with an axe after she reviles (abuses/insults) the Prophet p. There are different versions but the basis of the story is authentic.
Sadly, at least one anti-Islam critic on the internet has began to use the Hadith, which he found in Bulugh-al-Maram, for an explanation for an axe attack on people on a train in Germany by a teenaged Afghan refugee. It's so disingenuous or ignorant to misuse such a Hadith to lend Islamic validity to such a terrorist attack.
Watch this video to see his claims and a response to his claims with regards to the motives of the terrorist and concerning the Hadith itself.
Quick focus on the possible motives of the Afghan refugee terrorist
The critic links a flag which the refugee had in his home to his motives. The flag is not evidence for the motive of the attack. Why not focus on the more realistic speculation (i.e. he is a traumatised refugee who had mental problems)?
In fact, investigators are even speculating the man had psychological problems:
Investigators have speculated that the death of a close friend in Afghanistan may have left him traumatised and psychologically vulnerable.A psychiatrist currently treating traumatised refugees, many of whom have fled war zones and endured perilous journeys of thousands of miles, said that currently clinical evidence does not support a connection between traumatisation and vulnerability to the messages of extremists.
A 2015 report by Germany's chamber of psychotherapists found that half of refugees who entered the country are experiencing psychological distress and mental illness resulting from trauma.
These figures are reflected in the sample Richter is working with.
"More than 40% of them have psychological illnesses due to their experiences while fleeing their home countries," she said, with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and insomnia among the most common problem [IBTIMES]
In fact, Germany has had a similar attack recently in which no evidence was found that the attacker was motivated by religion but rather it was due to his psychological and drug problems (see the video above for the news report on this event)
How about the Hadith in Sunan Abu Dawud?
Looks like the critic did a key word search for "axe" in a Hadith database as the attacker used an axe.
The critic finds one Hadith, for which he completely overlooks the context, in his haste to try and link this suspected mentally disturbed person with Islamic teaching. If he had looked at the longer Hadith of the same event he would have got the context.
When the woman was found there was a public investigation into the matter in order to punish the one who killed her...
This story is indicative of the justice with which the Muslims dealt with the people of the Book, which was enjoined in the sharee’ah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who was a mercy to the worlds. The rights of the Jews who are under Muslim rule are guaranteed and protected, and it is not permissible to transgress against them by causing them any annoyance or harm. Hence when the people found a Jewish woman who had been killed they were alarmed and referred the matter to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who had made the covenant with them and guaranteed them security, and who did not take the jizyah from them. He got angry and adjured the Muslims by Allaah to find out who had done this deed, so that he could determine his punishment and judge his case. But when he found out that she had transgressed the covenant several times by reviling the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and impugning him, she forfeited all her rights and deserved the hadd punishment of execution which is imposed by sharee’ah on everyone who reviles the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), whether he is a Muslim, a dhimmi or a mu’aahid (non-Muslim living under Muslim rule), because impugning the status of the Prophets is kufr or disbelief in Allaah the Almighty, and a transgression of every sacred limit and right and covenant, and a major betrayal which deserves the greatest punishment. [IslamQA]
When the man confessed and explained what happened the Prophet simply made a pronouncement on whether blood money/retaliation for her was due.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not choose to kill her in this manner, but because she deserved to be executed as a hadd punishment for breaking the covenant and reviling the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), he did not demand qisaas* from her killer. *Qisaas is retaliation in kind
That's all - he was not endorsing vigilante killings and encouraging people to chop up random people on trains (it's so ignorant/disingenuous to try and link it as such).
And in any case, think about it.
The Afghan refugee started killing random people in a non Muslim state Even if one was to try and link his act of terror to that Hadith it fails for three reasons:
1. That act was a terrorist attack on random people - terrorism is forbidden in Sharia
2. It was in a land where Sharia Hadd punishments would not apply
3. It would have been a vigilante attack (there was no trial or judge involved) - vigilantism is not allowed in Islam
Killing Dhimmis?
As for killing a dhimmi unlawfully, it is major sin, and the warning concerning that is very stern, as was proven in Saheeh al-Bukhaari (3166) from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr (may Allaah be pleased with him) who narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever killed a mu’aahid will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, although its fragrance may be detected from a distance of forty years’ travel.” Imam al-Bukhaari included this report in a chapter in his Saheeh entitled “Chapter: the sin of one who kills a mu’aahid unlawfully.” [IslamQA]

This claim of "freedom" is just a slogan used by the Neo-Atheist and anti-religion camps. What exactly does it mean? Nothing. It's an empty slogan.
Islam is all about encouraging spirituality whilst giving a framework for spirituality to flourish (an example of a facet of this framework would be the prohibition of destroyers of spirituality such as alcohol, drugs, over-eating, back-biting, gambling and pornography)
So what exactly is he free from? Free from a religion that prescribes God consciousness and restrictions/prohibitions on base indulgences.
Is that really something to celebrate or sloganeer?
Analysis: Atheist and ExMuslim Slogans of Freedom After Islam (and other Religion)
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks touches the concept of freedom here and it is much more profound than the superficial "I am free" slogan the anti-religion camp hold up: Even so, the costs are beginning to mount up. Levels of trust have plummeted throughout the West as one group after another — bankers, CEOs, media personalities, parliamentarians, the press — has been hit by scandal. Marriage has all but collapsed as an institution, with 40 per cent of children born outside it and 50 per cent of marriages ending in divorce. Rates of depressive illness and stress-related syndromes have rocketed especially among the young. A recent survey showed that the average 18- to 35-year-old has 237 Facebook friends. When asked how many they could rely on in a crisis, the average answer was two. A quarter said one. An eighth said none.
None of this should surprise us. This is what a society built on materialism, individualism and moral relativism looks like. It maximises personal freedom but at a cost. As Michael Walzer puts it: ‘This freedom, energising and exciting as it is, is also profoundly disintegrative, making it very difficult for individuals to find any stable communal support, very difficult for any community to count on the responsible participation of its individual members. It opens solitary men and women to the impact of a lowest common denominator, commercial culture.’
A you can see Jonathan Sacks lists ailments the West is encountering and he puts it down to this "freedom" from religion. The question one needs to ask, is this "freedom" Atheists champion truly beneficial for society and the individual?
This problem of anti-religion freedom is further explored by Sacks: It is just that, in the words of historian Will Durant, ‘There is no significant example in history, before our time, of a society successfully maintaining moral life without the aid of religion.’...But Durant’s point is the challenge of our time. I have not yet found a secular ethic capable of sustaining in the long run a society of strong communities and families on the one hand, altruism, virtue, self-restraint, honour, obligation and trust on the other.
Nobody is ever totally free. EVERYBODY has a worldview and set of principles which binds them.
Atheism effectively encourages nihilism and the void left in the Atheist after leaving Islam (or any other organised religion) is filled with individualism, relativism, and materialism to
certain degrees which ultimately leaves one prone to consumerism in the West - a slave to consumerism!
The anti-religion movement has no solutions but simply mindless, meaningless and empty slogans.
This is a message of love and concern to any former Muslims that are out there experiencing hardships and loneliness.
The Islamic faith is the most spiritually uplifting when you understand a faith as opposed to being a nominal and cultural Muslim. Look into Islam with a renewed focus on spirituality and a desire to get closer to God. Start of slowly with the prayer - praying to God attentively rather than nominally will lead you to feel a spiritual empowerment that all humans yearn for.
Here's a short emotional clip from Hamza Yusuf which I think is ideal for exMuslims to see their pathway back to Islam is not irrevocably hindered. There are a number of exMuslims who make the journey back home to Islam. Come on home.
This is an ex Muslim who is inconsistently and ignorantly attacking Muslims for the Orlando massacre.
Introverted Smiles begins by rattling off 3 or 4 attacks by Muslim in the West yet for some reason ignores all the other attacks. What are these other attacks and are Muslims the perpetrators of these other attacks? As Russell Brad points out, the majority of terrorist attacks in the West are carried out by non-Muslims. Only 2% are carried out by Muslims.
Is it possible this man's antagonism towards Muslims is fuelled in part by irresponsible and disproportionate media coverage?
It seems so, otherwise he would not be so angry with Muslims, he'd be angry with all groups!
It seems a media bias has led him to overlook the irony in rallying "white people" against Muslims. WHITE men are disproportionately responsible for most of the shootings! David Sirota points this fact out in the video.
So what's the problem here? Obviously there's an issue with the media. Is there also an issue of low self-esteem where this man (Introverted Smiles) feels he should/can pick on the Muslims as
Muslims are deemed as an acceptable target for bigotry and ire when a Muslim carries out a
shooting but, he as an obviously ethnic minority male, feels the white American male is a demographic which warrants special and superior treatment?
And what of this man's family, are they Muslims? If so, if he rallying a bunch of white Americans against them too?
He claims some Arab Muslims were happy about the killing of the people at the gay club in Orlando
OK, I haven't seen Muslims celebrating the Orlando massacre but there are ignorant and immature
people in the Muslim community too - as with all groups. However, once again, this ex-Muslim inconsistently zones in on silly Muslims for doing exactly what others are doing, including Jews,
American military personnel and Christian leaders. The video shows Christian pastors, orthodox Jews and American marines were doing the same thing he berates some Muslims on social media for!
Of course, it's easier to zone in on Muslims and African Americans. If one is suffering from self-hatred and/or low self-esteem the demographics which are socially and politically stronger are especially more difficult to criticise.
He tries to link the criminality by Omar Mateen in Orlando with Sharia
This is anti-intellectual. Sadly, this is all too common amongst Islamophobes where they try to link any action a Muslim does with Sharia. The fact is clear, this act would not be considered an act of Sharia by any Muslim scholar.
Introverted Smiles was appealing to Sharia which is irrelevant to America and the massacre itself in an attempt to try and frame Islam for this massacre.
1. Sharia law is not aplicable in non Muslim lands
2. The most popular jurisprudence school does not call for execution
of convicted homosexuals.
3. Under Sharia, 4 witnesses to the ACT are required for somebody to
be convicted of homosexual sex
4. Vigilanties are not allowed to take matters into their own hands
Here are some further points from Dr Jonathan AC Brown:
It is not same-sex attraction or desires that the Shariah prohibits. It is acting on them.
Yes, the main position in the Hanafi school of law for many centuries was that someone convicted of sodomy (which in all the schools required four witnesses to the act of penetration) was not executed but only given a milder punishment or perhaps only disciplined by a judge.
The ex Muslim critic also intimated Muslims do not respect the law of America. This paragraph from Dr Brown may also be of use:
According to the Shariah, Muslims living in the West (or other non-Muslim states) are essentially visitors from the perspective of the sacred law. The standard definition amongst Muslim scholars for the Abode of Islam (Dar al-Islam) was those lands where the Shariah reigns.[7] Muslims outside that space reside in lands and countries as guests of whatever legal or religious system reigns there. If the law of the land were to prohibit Muslims from carrying out a duty required by the Shariah, such as prayer, or require them to do something clearly forbidden in Islam, such as drinking alcohol, the standard opinion amongst classical Muslim scholars was that Muslims could no longer reside there (a second opinion was that they should remain so that the religion of Islam would not vanish there). Otherwise, Muslims must respect the law of the land. Their decision to reside in those lands represents their agreement to a contract with the governments ruling them. As the Quran commands Muslims, “be true to your agreements” (Quran 5:1), and as the Prophetï·º taught, “Muslims are bound by the conditions [of their agreements].”[8] The Shariah continues to govern Muslims’ private worship and whatever areas of law the local system leaves open (such as contracts, inheritance and marriage in the US), but Muslims must respect and abide by the restrictions, duties and regulations placed upon them.

I saw this comment on Facebook by a brother I am linked to. Be wary of Chistian missionaries coming into Muslim countries. Be very wary. I really would not put this stunt beyond them.
This seems like one of their old tricks where they take kids out on outings via a bus and then pretend to break down. And wait for the kids to pray to Jesus p and then restart the bus in an attempt the trick the kids into thinking Jesus p answered their prayers. I really would not be surprised if they are using it in Arab countries now too.
Just an example deceitful nature of many missionaries around . This news was given to us by many muslims both men and women who saw this with their own eyes .
In Lebanon christian charities who provide help for Muslim Syrian orphans will take them for small trips in a bus . While driving the driver will stop the van and tell everyone that the bus has "broken" down unfortunately. And add some passion and good theater play on to off that to make the kids a bit scared. Then someone part of the missionary team will ask all the children to make dua to Allah that the driver who is trying to start the bus will be able to do so . So they will get all the kids to raise their hands and collectively say YA ALLAH PLEASE START THE BUS !! then the drive attempts to start the bus and it fails . And they will repeat this a couple of times before the kids start getting agitated . Then the same missionaries will say to the children : let's try asking jesus instead kids !! So same thing they will get the kids to raise their hands and collectively say : OH JESUS PLEASE MAKE THE BUS START ! and lo and behold the bus miraculously starts ! . Obviously the kids are to young and innocent to see the cunning and evil plot which has just taken place but this is just one example of the types of tactics missionaries will use in order to convert muslims .
Needless to say it's clear to everyone . Christians, please do not fund Christian missionaries.
I remember a Pakistani ex Muslim guy in Ireland a few years back saying he does not want to become a propaganda tool (against Islam) when asked why he does not make videos about his leaving of Islam. IIRC
Yet now, in this climate of hatred of Muslims and Islam, in this age of grabbing Muslim natural resources and in this desire to 'reform' Islam on the part of secular Western liberal supremacists there's a new group of people who are encouraged, promoted and offered financial plus material support to do their bidding. The bidding of the secular Western liberal supremacist.
Of course, the secular Western liberal supremacists fear (and rightly so) being labelled racist and/or Islamophobic when they come out and rail against Islam and Muslims. However, these are the very same nations who used to impose the Bible and White Supremacy onto others so they have been around a long while and shift from one supreme ideal they cherish to another to look down at others in their efforts to make themselves seem superior.
Christianity...well that one was stamped out here in the West a while ago. White supremacy...the likes of MLK, Malcolm X and the whole civil rights movement put paid to that.
What do they now rally around to hold up as their beacon of light that they want to impose on the rest of the world all the while sneering, mocking and deriding all those who resist as backward inferiors?
They now have something called secular Western liberal supremacy. They make the rules up and every other culture is obliged to obey or lose their financial aid as well as subjected to a vicious propaganda campaign in an effort to get the 'other' to conform.
If a group of Germans were doing it in the 1940s people would have been crying Nazism.
What's their plan for the Muslims? It's to get gullible Muslims and exMuslims to do their bidding.
This is where folk such as Imtiaz Shams and organisations such as CEMB and Faith to Faithless come in. It's no coincidence liberal media outlets give them a platform. It's no coincidence they are organised. It's no coincidence that they exist.
Wake up to the propaganda campaign.
While our mosque leaders still struggle to even speak English yet alone understand what's going on in the cyberwolrd and the real world on a day to day basis the Western liberal supremacists are circling along with their pawns (ex Muslims and Uncle Tom types).
I fear for British Muslims. We are not organised. We are not equipped. We are not funded. We have no amplification to our voice. We are effectively voiceless because we are so disunited.
I hope people like Imtiaz Shams can see our pain and actually come on to our side and help us out. No Muslim in Britain or Europe should be pressurised to give up faith...this is exactly what's happening.
ExMuslims Come Back To Islam Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Emotional
This is a very important clip in which Dr Yasir Qadhi teaches the killing of apostates in Non-Muslim countries is not applicable in Sharia.
So for those Western former Muslims who are claiming Sharia is calling for them to be killed, think again.
Council of Ex Muslims spokesperson, Amal Farah, gets educated about Taqiyya. Some people get their information straight from shoddy Islamophobes while the wise go to scholarly sources and positively add to their understanding. Amal Farah would do well to avail herself of this video and publicly apologise for spreading ignorance and misconceptions about Muslims
Sabatina James is of Pakistani origin claims she was threatened with death by her father for reasons of honor and then she subsequently left Islam and became a Christian (Catholic).
The point here is honor killings are not part of Islam. So if one's Muslim parents were to threaten their child with death for honor-based reasons then the parents are guilty of bad practice. It's not a reason to leave Islam.
Think about it, if a Christian left Christianity because a Christian parent killed his/her child for refusing an arranged marriage, Christians would say that's not a logical reason to leave their faith.
The fact of the matter is, Islam dos not allow honor killings as seen in the video below in which a lady called Pamela Geller wrongly claims honor killing is Islamic.
In the video we see Dr Bilal Phillips teach that Honor Killings is not allowed according to Islamic Law - in fact he teaches that the Sharia (Islamic Law) sees honor killing as MURDER which is punishable by execution.
It's interesting to notice how Muslim scholars such as Dr Shabir Ally, Hamza Yusuf and Dr Bilal Phillips all disagree with the wild assertions of Pamela Geller concerning the Islamic view on honor killings. Sadly, people like Pamela Geller continue to spread their ignorance and prejudice and the scholarly voices are being drowned out.
Watch Pamela Geller's falsehoods on Honor Killings and Islamic Law are corrected by clips of Hamza Yusuf, Dr Shabir Ally and Dr Bilal Phillips
Aside from the misinformation Pam Geller presents about Islam's view on honor killings the other worrying aspect of her work is her misappropriating of pictures of the victims of honor killings. Islamophobes such as Geller will trample on the misery and the hurt of others just to pursue their agenda of attacking Islam and demonizing Muslims. Truthful and sincere people don't do this.
Another point that came out of the video is that honour killings, as mentioned by Hamza Yusuf, have a long history and indeed are not simply peculiar to Muslims. Hamza Yusuf menions that it has taken place in Arab Christian communities as well as Mexico. Of course, honor killings are not limited to these communities - all communities have experienced honor killings be they Sikh, Hindu, Jewish, Atheist, Buddhist etc.. Hamza Yusuf mentioned the figure of 20 million abortions having been conducted in America, isn't this at least in some instances a form of honor killing?
And finally, Dr Shabir Ally mentions those who perpetrate honor killings are not following the Quran, he then mentions that he can find something that can be described as honor killing in the Bible. I Wonder if Pamela Geller would call Dr Shabir Ally and ask him for the Bible references and then make a video about Christianity and Honor killing entitled 'Christian Biblical Honor Killngs'? Guess she won't. Guess the donations and other support she receives would diminish quite considerably if she did. That's the nature of the business of ISLAMOPHOBIA!
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty teaches honor killings are NOT Islamic:
“There is no
such concept in Islam that is called “honor killing”. Islam holds every
soul in high esteem and does not allow any transgression upon it. It does not
allow people to take the law in their own hands and administer justice, because
doing so will be leading to chaos and lawlessness. Therefore, based on
this, Islam does not permit such killings.”
Bilal Phillips and Hamza Yusuf on Honour killings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVE-_7WB_SE
Jesus taught people to do the Will of God (according to
Mark 3:35) in order to become his brothers, mothers or sisters. A Muslim means
one who submits to the Will of God. Do you want to become a brother/sister of Jesus? If
yes, become a Muslim.

ExMuslims Come Back To Islam Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Emotional
"I want to share that what I've seen with American apostates from Islam is that the ones who wound up returning to Islam were won back via Muslims who continued to reach out to them, be their friends, sincerely (yet slowly, and respectfully) engage their objections. Muslims who waved them off as worthless and spoke negatively about them contributed nothing to the process of winning their heart back.
And the same sorts of phenomena exist in Christianity. People abandon the faith all the time, in droves (honestly, the secular world has the most successful "da`wa," and while far more Christians have been swept away, Muslims in the west are starting to witness the pull of the secular world a bit too). Some Christians (not a majority, but nonetheless a bunch) who leave the faith wind up returning. Christians who belittled them or spoke negatively about them (in some of the same ways as described above) contributed zero to their return. On the other hand, Christians who continued to respect them, maintain friendships with them, and slowly have long on and off conversations with them (which could span months or even years) were significant factors in winning them back."
In an article entitled 'Why Muslims Are Becoming the Best Evangelists' Dave Garrison is interviewed and he makes some worrying claims.
Firstly, I know that Eastern Christians do have a habit of lying/exaggerating to their Western co-religionists when it comes to evangelism - see Kamal Saleem's bizarre figures for Iran's Christian conversion figures for Iran or the post about Eastern Christians in America having developed a bad reputation when it comes to their activities related to Muslims and Islam so the information that Dave Garrison bases his claims and book upon is not reliable BUT having said that we as Muslims should look into the claims of Dave Garrison and begin to counteract missionary activity in Muslim countries. The reasons why Dave Garrison cites for Muslims converting to Christianity are all based on frustration and emotion rather than logic and reasoning. Islam is full of logic and reasoning - so much more than Christianity - thus we as Muslims need to equip Muslims in the more susceptible parts of the world (such as the poorer countries) with access to learning about Islam and support network so they are not left as lone sheep to the wolves.
In total, Garrison estimates that 2 to 7 million people from a Muslim background worldwide now follow Christ. (This is a projection since a comprehensive count is not possible.)
Muslims really need to look into this. We know Christian missionaries do target those they deem to be the most vulnerable such as the less educated, refugees, the poverty-stricken, victims of abuse etc. but need to raise awareness within Muslim communities - Christian missionaries are out to steer you from pure monotheism (the pure monotheism of ALL Prophets including Jesus).
Islam is so much more logical than Christianity - there's no logical reason for
anybody to convert to Christianity from Islam.
Ex Muslims who are Christian, I invite you to Islam
Jesus taught people to do the
Will of God (according to Mark 3:35) in order to become his brothers, mothers or
sisters. A Muslim means one who submits to the Will of God. Do you want to
become a brother/sister of Jesus? If yes, become a Muslim.
If you are an ex Muslim please come back to Islam. Islam is a way of life that enables one to have a relationship with God. Islam is a beautiful religion which if full of proofs and spirituality. Please watch this video, the door is still open...
