Muslims
In America:
Surviving After September 11th
Siraj
Wahhaj Ancient Chinese
author and military general Sun Tzu once wrote, "The greatest
achievement in war is to be able to defeat your enemy without
shedding a drop of blood." In a post 9/11 world where a
legitimate fight against terrorism has turned into a relentless
attack on the religion of Islam, are Muslims being defeated in
the manner which Tzu describes? What must ordinary Muslims do
to survive in such a climate of fear and widespread prejudice,
which is fueled by extremism and media bias? Is it wise for Muslims
to take a defensive stance in response to such circumstances?
Siraj Wahhaj delivers a wake-up call for Muslims who may be cowering
in the face of ignorance and encourages them to go on the offensive,
not with violence, but with the truth contained in the Holy Qur'an.
Other topics discussed: suicide, taking Jews and Christians as
friends, the balance between peace and justice, and the modern
"magicians" that are fooling the masses of people.
