A lot of British Muslims do but it’s not enough, we need to have conferences and lectures against terrorism at the big Mosques for British Muslims from all over the country to attend, espcially for the youngsters, local Mosques also need to have Friday sermons on the issues of terrorism.
Mosques need to take a more active role in teaching these Yobs what the true Islam is and what it is not, otherwise they all seem to want to join these groups you mentioned when they’ve had enough of booze and women, because it’s more cooler than praying at a normal mosque.
I think Muslim TV channels need to condemn terrorism aswell and show the world that Islam forbids killing innocent civillians, animals, plants etc.
I’m a freelance (non-sect) Muslim but my Mosque is a Tableeghi Jamaat one and I’ve asked a few of them on their views on terrorism and they’re all against it and condemn it (but I think they need to get on the pulpit/mimbar and condemn it from there) and they are also against the group you mentioned, not just for political reasons but also because it has theologically incorrect beliefs (aqeedah).
Our Imams need to get their act together and do more, ok so wearing the pants above the ankles is also important but dude get your priorities right there’s more urgent issues facing the community which need to be addressed.
Just because America is wrong in declaring war on Muslim countries does not make terrorism right, it does not justify terrorism, two wrongs do not make a right, there’s wrongs on both sides and as ambassadors of Islam it’s our duty to forbid the wrong even if it’s from our side.
PS. What’s wrong with sister Yvonne Ridley? She’s not a member of the group you mentioned is she? I’m not aware of her political opnions but I’ve seen her on Islamic TV channels a few times and she seems like a very charismatic lady. I like Western white Muslims like her and brother Yusuf Estes, I think they bridge the gap between the Muslim world and the West (I wish they’d keep their Anglo names though to show Islam is not here to destroy cultures, Islam doesn’t require us to change our names if they had good meanings).
