Some of you may have noticed the adverts being placed in National newspapers from a group called Muslims United.The ads condemn the recent attempted terrorist attacks in both London and Glasgow and at the same time praise both the emergency services and – strangely – the Government for their ‘calm and proportionate’ response to the attacks.
On first impressions it would seem like an act of contrition and an attempt by the Muslim community to condemn the terrorists among them but on closer inspection it raises quite a few worrying questions.
Such as:
Just who are Muslims United? I’ve been on their site (weirdly called Islam is Peace) and they claim to be volunteers who share a vision of a diverse, all inclusive and strong
Who is their leader? Again no mention of anyone.
Are any prominent Muslims members? Muslims such as Iqbal Sacranie or Lord Ahmed (to name but a couple).
Where did they get the money to place full page ads in the national newspapers? It must have run into hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Why are they praising the Government rather the general public?
Is this an attempt to glean votes from the Muslim community by giving the Labour party a false endorsement?
And is this just another organisation in the same mould as the Muslim Council of Britain set up by Labour, funded by the taxpayer and designed to mislead the public?
The ad goes onto quote the often quoted piece from the Koran whenever there is some terrorist attack or other in the name of Islam (Surah al-Maidah 5 verse 32) that:
‘Whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he killed the whole of mankind. And whoever saves one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind’.
Once again the passage is misquoted the actual verse reads as such:
“We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land"
They claim that Islam’s stance on terrorism is unambiguous but then why are they having to edit verses of the Koran to change the original meaning? If the authors have to slice and dice a verse to make it say what they want, then I think their claim to be the "clear about Islam's stance on such acts" is decidedly suspect. The actual verse says 'if anyone slew a person-unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land'...
The land means Muslim land and murder and spreading mischief is precisely what we (the west) are repeatedly accused of doing in
