After the tragic Paris attacks, the media rushed to connect the violence to Islam, but a closer examination reveals that ISIS has nothing to do with the religion of Islam. Not one Muslim out of seven to eight million in America supports this organization, over 2,000 mosques have condemned it, and every major Islamic organization has declared it un-Islamic. Meanwhile, the real terrorism happening against Muslims in America, including armed extremists stalking women outside mosques, goes largely unreported.
ISIS Is as Un-Islamic as It Gets
There is not a single teaching, principle, or practice of ISIS that aligns with authentic Islam. The beheadings, the violence against civilians, the destruction of mosques, these all violate the most fundamental principles of Islamic law. As one guest explains, it is like calling the KKK representative of Christianity or claiming Hitler represented Christian values because he identified as one. The absurdity is obvious once you remove the media filter.
“I can assure you there is not one Muslim that I am aware of who supports anything about ISIS. Not in my name, not in your name, not in any Muslim’s name that I know of in this country is this happening.” — Guest on The Deen Show
The Real Terrorism Going Unreported
- An armed man with an M16 and a mask was photographed stalking a Muslim woman wearing hijab outside a mosque in Irving, Texas
- Muslim women and children face daily harassment, threats, and violence that rarely makes national headlines
- The mainstream media’s obsession with ISIS actually serves as a recruitment tool for the group by giving it global publicity
