WHETHER ISLAMOPHOBIC ?
1."The next time you hear of a terror attack-no matter where,no matter what the circumstances,you will likely think to yourself,'it is Muslim again' and you will probably be right",
[Fareed Zakaria,author and TV host].
2."The 'anything but jihad' brigade is out in full force again.If perpetrators of such attacks say they were influenced by politics or nationalism...we take them at face value. But they consistently cite their religious beliefs as their central motivation,we back off,stroke our chins and suspect-there has t be something at play,a 'root cause'.It is often religion itself...that is the root cause".
[Ali A Rizvi,Pakistani Canadian freethinker writer].
3."It simply will not do for Muslims to claim that their religion has been 'hijacked' by extremists.The killers of Islamic state and Boko Haram cite the same religious texts that every other Muslim in the world considers sacrosanct..The biggest obstacle to change within the Muslim world is suppression of critical thinking".
[Ayaan Hirsi Ali,best selling author,Somali freethinker writer].
4."By far the majority of Muslim today live their lives without recourse to violence,for the Koran is like a pick-and-mix selection.If you want peace,you can find peaceable verses.If you want war you can find bellicose verse".
[Patrick Sookhdeo,Director, institute for the study of Islam and Christianity].
