Islam Online- News Section

Islam Online- News Section: "Burning Muslim issues like hijab and the US invasion of Afghanistan along with stereotypes equating Islam with terrorism were in full display at the shelves.

The 'Return' is about the blogs of a reporter embedded with the US-led forces which invaded Afghanistan in 2001 to topple the Taliban regime.

Another tackles the controversy over hijab and secularism in France.

A third spotlights the so-called 'Islamic terrorism' in Pakistan and south-east Asia.

The Arab heritage also took the breath away with the intriguing Adventures of Sinbad.

According to a recent poll by the Ipsos Institute, French writers of Arab and Muslim origin topped France's list of best-selling novels and books.

Western illustrators have tackled Muslims mainly in a demonizing and satirical approach.

A Belgian cartoon story on the alleged mistreatment of women under Islam was the latest of such publications.

But the most notorious of such is the 12 cartoons that lampooned Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which were first published in September by Denmark's mass circulation Jyllands-Posten.

The offensive cartoons were later reprinted in many European dailies and weeklies, including French France-Soir and Charlie Hebdo.

A recent French poll found that 54% believe the two papers were wrong to re-print the caricature, and 72% saying they understood the indignation they prompted among Muslims."

Egyptian Castle - Editorial By Nahed Elbanhawy
I know this is very old news, but a fact of life. If you have no shame, then do whatever you want.

Ideas

Need input. Al7amdlellah, I read daily in the quran. I was thinking I would blog phrases of the quran that I feel touchs daily life. I need input, what you think of this idea, or better idea. Or may be keep the current track. Blogging for me is not just opening my mouth (I do not like to talk much). It is sharing ideas, feeling and opinions to help each others.

What to do now?

Aljazeera.Net - Danish PM looks to UN in cartoon row:
To this prime minster I would like to say
1) you refused to meet Muslim representative when the problem started
2) you did not apologize for what happened. As a leader of your country, you are responsible for their actions
3) you never expected that your economy will be affected and now crying when you are affected

Now the important question is what now? What to do as a Muslim?
The UN not anyone one else can force me to do anything. The PM apologizing now after his country being affected and refusing to resolve the problem when it happened shows me how much he respects me. And even the apology is political "apologize that offended the Muslims bit not for the action".

So I have decided and I swore to God that I will not buy any product from countries that insulted Islam from the moment I knew about the incident and this will extend to a year after these countries apologize in a satisfactory way. I hope others will do similarly. I do not care if they insulted any Muslim, they have done that for as long as I know, but when it comes to the cores, we do not bend starting from that point up.

I do not encourage or accept or defend innocents for others mistakes. Why burning an embassy or cars of killing people. There are many actions that affect more without hurting a soul or wasting money.

Global Peace

BBC NEWS | Have Your Say: Is Islamism the new "global threat"? ...:

Does this promote peace? Does that make people accept each other and try to resolve differences and misunderstood problems? I doubt it. For a while, discussions on BBC website were dominated by anti Islam sentiment. First of all, Muslims rarely respond to these discussions in fear of being tracked and in today’s vague definition of everything, they could be convicted of anything just for objecting in a strong way. Then what is the use of these discussions if it is polarized.

Understand before you judge. You are an idiot if you do not search for the truth and bigger idiot if you are just a parrot.

BBC should be more careful not to lose ground with the Muslim community. An english comedy tells you that how you ask a question and when you ask it controls the answer. I just hope, and I will wait to see, that BBC is keeping its nutral coverage.
