“The drone strike and its impact tore my heart, much as the tragic bombings in Boston last week tore your hearts and also mine.”

“The drone strike and its impact tore my heart, much as the tragic bombings in Boston last week tore your hearts and also mine.”

“Just six days ago, my village was struck by a drone, in an attack that terrified thousands of simple, poor farmers.

“The drone strike and its impact tore my heart, much as the tragic bombings in Boston last week tore your hearts and also mine.

“What radicals had previously failed to achieve in my village, one drone strike accomplished in an instant: there is now an intense anger and growing hatred of America.”

Letter of Love to Boston Community from Imam Suhaib Webb

Letter of Love to Boston Community from Imam Suhaib Webb

Dear friends,

I greet you, invoking God’s peace and blessings upon you:

Friday’s are special for me because at the ISBCC I get to see the fabric of our community. One of my favorites is seeing our security staff early in the morning, smiling and greeting everyone who walks in. Br. Muhammad Ubai always asks me, “Did you get that 5 mile jog in today, brother Imam?” Second, but close, is getting hugs from Sr. Malika’s granddaughters, whose smiles bring so much light to my office.

Muslim Scholars respond to the Libyan/Egyptian Extremists attack on US Embassies

Muslim Scholars respond to the Libyan/Egyptian Extremists attack on US Embassies

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi:

Clerics and leaders who instigate Muslims to ‘defend the honor of the Prophet (saw)’ by attacking people who have nothing to do with insulting his honor, actually disrespect the memory of our Prophet (saw).

Yes, the movie was disgusting, but I’m sure the happiest person today is the person who made it, because his goal of smearing the Muslims has succeeded.

For how long will we tolerate such stupidity? (source)

Shaykh Abu Eesa Niamatullah:

I condemn it because the religion of Islam doesn’t allow such an action. Common sense and a call to revise sensibilities clearly have failed with such people. So we have to focus on the only thing that might speak out to them: their religion. These militiamen have not just insulted themselves, but they’ve insulted their Prophet, the same Prophet who stated authentically and unequivocally, “Whoever kills a person who is granted protection by the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise even though its fragrance can be smelt from a distance of forty years of travelling.” (Source)

Spike in Mosque attacks in Ramadan? (Updated as more incidents occur, sadly)

Spike in Mosque attacks in Ramadan? (Updated as more incidents occur, sadly)

Of all the attributes of Ramadan, patience is one of them.  We are patient during the day when we have no food.  We are patient in night when we sleep less and pray more.  Now we have to be patient with the onslaught of hate crimes and the increase in Islamophobia by our ignorant American neighbors.

Dates are when the incident occurred:
