Muslims must combat the extremist cancer
As the group that calls itself Islamic State, known as ISIS, continues
to produce carnage in the Middle East, Muslims must confront the
totalitarian ideology that animates it and other terrorist groups. Every
terrorist act carried out in the name of Islam profoundly affects all
Muslims, alienating them from fellow citizens and deepening the
misperceptions about their faith’s ethos.
It isn’t fair to blame Islam for the atrocities of violent radicals. But when terrorists claim the Muslim mantle, then they bear this identity, if only nominally. Thus members of the faith must do whatever possible to prevent this cancer from metastasizing in our communities. If we don’t, we’ll be partly responsible for the smeared image of our faith.http://rumiforum.blogspot.com/2015/08/1fethullahgulens-op-ed-wsj-muslims-must.html#axzz3k7m4y4l1
