Muslim Voices Against Extremism and Terrorism
Muslim Voices Against Extremism and Terrorism
MUSLIMS DENOUNCE TERRORISM
Question: Where are the Muslim voices?
Answer: They are listed here!
We began this section in 2001 and it has expanded to become a relatively comprehensive resource. This is all completed by volunteer effort, and if you would like to help with the research needed to make this even more comrehensive and useful, please contact the editor.
This resource of The American Muslim has received positive mention in the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University’s recently released report on internet-facilitated radicalization entitled: ”NETworked Radicalization: A Counter-Strategy”. It is also listed as a resource on many other sites, and the new logo has already been picked up by 15 sites. We hope that many more will do this, and that all the organizations working on related projects will be able to connect and work cooperatively.
One hand clapping cannot make enough noise to drown out the extremists, but all of us together can make enough noise to be heard around the world.
