“where have they collectively come out against the acts of terror against innocent people”

Some British Muslims do openly come out against acts of terrorism. As you’ll see below, 500 British Muslim scholars, clerics, and imams signed a Fatwa against terrorism.

Lets not forget only about 3% of this country are Muslim, which means if roughly the same amount of Muslims are against terrorism in the name of Islam as the rest of Britain (the 97% majority) we’d expect to see 3 Muslims on the street against terrorist atrocities for every 97 non-Muslims.

What percentage of non-Muslims are bothered enough by what’s happening in the world to have their voice heard?

For every 33 of them we’d expect to see 1 British Muslim because they are the minority in this country (33:1 minority). So to match the 500 British Muslims that signed the Fatwa you’d need over 16,000 non Muslims to do the same to match that number relatively speaking.

Muslims against Terrorism

British Muslim specific information within:

Abdal-Hakim Murad, British Muslim author:
“Targeting civilians is a negation of every possible school of Sunni Islam. Suicide bombing is so foreign to the Quranic ethos that the Prophet Samson is entirely absent from our scriptures.”
“The Hijackers Were Not Muslims After All: Recapturing Islam From the Terrorists,”

Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), prominent British Muslim:
“I wish to express my heartfelt horror at the indiscriminate terrorist attacks committed against innocent people of the United States yesterday. While it is still not clear who carried out the attack, it must be stated that no right thinking follower of Islam could possibly condone such an action: the Qur’an equates the murder of one innocent person with the murder of the whole of humanity. We pray for the families of all those who lost their lives in this unthinkable act of violence as well as all those injured; I hope to reflect the feelings of all Muslims and people around the world whose sympathies go out to the victims at this sorrowful moment.”
[On singing an a cappella version of “Peace Train” for the Concert for New York City:] “After the tragedy, my heart was heavy with sadness and shock, and I was determined to help in some way. Organizers asked me to take part in a message for tolerance and sing ‘Peace Train.’ Of course, I agreed. … As a Muslim from the West, it is important to me to let people know that these acts of mass murder have nothing to do with Islam and the beliefs of Muslims.”

Ziauddin Sardar, British Muslim author:
“The failure of Islamic movements is their inability to come to terms with modernity, to give modernity a sustainable home-grown expression. Instead of engaging with the abundant problems that bedevil Muslim lives, the Islamic prescription consists of blind following of narrow pieties and slavish submission to inept obscurantists. Instead of engagement with the wider world, they have made Islam into an ethic of separation, separate under-development, and negation of the rest of the world.”

Fatwa signed by more than 500 British Muslim scholars, clerics, and imams:
“Islam strictly, strongly and severely condemns the use of violence and the destruction of innocent lives. There is neither place nor justification in Islam for extremism, fanaticism or terrorism. Suicide bombings, which killed and injured innocent people in London, are HARAAM – vehemently prohibited in Islam, and those who committed these barbaric acts in London [on July 7, 2005] are criminals not martyrs. Such acts, as perpetrated in London, are crimes against all of humanity and contrary to the teachings of Islam. … The Holy Quran declares: ‘Whoever kills a human being… then it is as though he has killed all mankind; and whoever saves a human life, it is as though he had saved all mankind.’ (Quran, Surah al-Maidah (5), verse 32) Islam’s position is clear and unequivocal: Murder of one soul is the murder of the whole of humanity; he who shows no respect for human life is an enemy of humanity.”

To match my examples above you’d have to show me 500×33 or over 16,000 similar statements from British people who are not Muslim because Muslims are the MINORITY in Britain.

The problem is the British media, instead of showing moderate British Muslims like the ones listed above the British media put extremists on like Anjem Choudary because it increases ratings, but numpties like Anjem Choudary do not represent the Muslim majority living peacefully in Britain today.

The media do this with all issues, you don’t get good news via the media as it doesn’t sell. So why do you think it’s any different with terrorism?

When the British government banned Anjem Choudary’s ISLAM4UK organisation where was the public out cry from all the extremist Muslims?

That’s right, there wasn’t one, telling us British Muslims were glad to see that organisation banned because he’s a lone extremist voice in amongst the majority of moderate Muslims!
