Genocide in Iraq

Genocide in Iraq

A reflection on rethinking Islam to stand up to the injustices of ISIS, instead of Muslims dismissively watching from the sidelines as destruction prevails. 

Editor’s Note: Anouar Majid’s critique of ISIS is also a critique of many in the Islamic world who are too quiet about the crimes being done in the name of Islam. For that reason, we at Tikkun have to consider his views, just as we ask the Jewish world to consider our views about many in the Jewish world who are too quiet about the Israeli use of violence in Gaza. What worries us is the degree to which Majid may be willing to abandon Islam entirely, something we are not willing to do in regard to Judaism.
