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.

ISLAMOPHOBIA - RESPONSES TO ISLAMOPHOBIA AND EXTREMISM
NOTE: We have had as part of our Muslim Voices against Terrorism and Extremism resources a section on responses to Islamophobia. This was in five parts: - Responses to Claims Made ABOUT Islam and Muslims in General - Responses to Claims Made ABOUT Qur’an Verses, Arabic Terms, Prophet Muhammad - Responses to False Claims ABOUT Muslim Individuals & Organizations & Incidents Involving Muslims - Responses to Actual Extremist Statements & Incidents of Extremism or violence BY Muslims - Responses to Claims Made BY Specific Individuals and Organizations About Muslims. Because of a restriction in the possible length of articles, we were unable to organize these in a more user-friendly manner. Our webmaster has now resolved this problem, and we have combined all these five sections into one section. The entries are alphabetical, and it should now be much easier to locate a response to a particular issue, incident, or individual. In order to keep load time down for our readers, this single resource will still be divided into two sections: A to L, and M to Z. Sheila Musaji 3/5/2010.
