Ben Carson slanders Islam: Here’s exactly why his claims about Muslims are dead wrong

Last updated on: October 7, 2015 at 4:09 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

In his recent anti-Muslim crusade, Ben Carson promoted a disturbing form of religious segregation, claiming that a Muslim should only be president if he or she “renounces the tenets of Islam. Sadly, just as racial segregationists long garnered votes by promoting fear of black Americans, religious segregationists such as Carson today garner votes by promoting fear of Muslim Americans. In fact, Carson’s anti-Muslim intolerance has advanced his polling numbers and dramatically increased his campaign fundraising. In the process, Dr. Carson has helped promote and sustain frighteningly... Read more

The Myth of Muslim Unity

Last updated on: September 7, 2015 at 10:11 am By Muslims Writers Guild of America

It happened 41 years ago today, September 7, 1974: Muslim unity. And then it disappeared. And despite the sectarian violence, fatwas of infidelity, and state sanctioned terrorism, the myth of Muslim unity pervades the Muslim “Ummah.” I call it a myth because in every spectrum where it truly matters, Muslim unity seems to disappear. For example, it disappears when we ask why Muslim leaders aren’t uniting to alleviate the suffering of Palestine? It disappears when various Arab states in the... Read more

Racism and hate in society: are they due to ignorance or what?

Last updated on: July 30, 2015 at 10:21 am By Muslims Writers Guild of America

By Seidu Malik The late Lucky Dube, a famous reggae musician from South Africa once said, “when I see a black man, I see the image of God. When a see a white man, I see the image of God. And that’s the way it should be. We belong together.” Unfortunately however, this is not the reality in many situations such as with the cold-blooded killing of black Christian worshippers in Charleston South Carolina, xenophobic attacks by indigenous South African’s on foreigners, the raging...

Last updated on: July 28, 2015 at 3:43 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

By Seidu Malik Easy and comfortable living is what everyone wishes for in life but there comes a time the basic means of survival becomes a struggle.

Farmersville, TX: Misconceptions about Muslim Burial

By Saima Sheikh “Take and dump pigs’ blood and [plant] pigs’ heads on a post,” he said sagely, “and they won’t buy the land.” “It’s gonna kill Farmersville,” one man warned darkly. “They’re at war with us,” thundered another, reports Dallas Morning News and “another lady explained, is how “they” will use their own dead to poison the water supply: “Their bodies are generally above the water,” she explained, as if lecturing kids in science class. “We get rain, it’s going...

Franklin Graham Should Worry About Radicalizing Right-Wing Christians, Not Muslims

Last updated on: July 22, 2015 at 4:26 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

In his July 17 Facebook post, Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, spewed unhinged hatred and bigotry against American Muslims. Writing his response to the Chattanooga shooting, Graham used language that can only succeed in radicalizing Americans: We are under attack by Muslims at home and abroad. We should stop all immigration of Muslims to the U.S. until this threat with Islam has been settled. Every Muslim that comes into this country has the potential to... Read more

Last updated on: July 22, 2015 at 10:07 am By Muslims Writers Guild of America

By Haris Raja The recent Chattanooga shootings sparked the same debate that gets started every time the alleged perpetrator happens to be a Muslim. Islamophobes pounce on it like a drooling dog jumps on a bone. While the rest of the nation is deeply pained by such a horrible tragedy and is offering condolences to the afflicted families, Islamophobes are busy accusing Islam of violence and bloodshed. The notion that Muslim youth are being radicalized because of the violent teachings of Islam... Read more
