CUI FOCUS

The Center for Understanding Islam seeks to present an enlightened understanding of Islam in America and to confront extremism through its inter-faith and intra-faith programs.

Views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent CUI.

Al Qaeda does not speak for Islam or Muslims.

CUI repudiates all hateful messages from all extremists.

PEACE

*****

May 21, 2009

The Center for Understanding Islam applauds the FBI and other agencies in helping to prevent the execution of alleged plans to attack synagogues in New York and against members of the US military. We condemn unequivocally violence against innocent people or property in the name of Islam.

There is no religious justification in Islam for the violent actions these suspects are alleged to have planned. Like all Americans, Muslims must remain vigilant and cooperate openly with law enforcement agencies to prevent any violence against anyone based on hate of other people.

Media outlets and public officials also should refrain from blaming mainstream Islam and to avoid fanning anti-Muslim fear and stereotyping.

CUI Condemns Attacks in Mumbai

CUI unequivocally and strongly condemns the cowardly attacks on a number of sites in Mumbai in India that left more than 100 people dead and many more injured. We offer sincere condolences to the loved ones of those killed or injured in these senseless and inexcusable acts of violence against innocent civilians. We call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages taken during the attacks regardless of their national origin.

As American Muslims, we stand with our fellow citizens of all faiths in repudiating all acts of terrorism, which are against the teachings of Islam and cannot be justified no matter what the grievances of the perpetrators might be.

Islamophobia and Arabophobia

7/16/2008 8:58:54 AM

There is a word game that is fairly popular in the United States. It is called “Mad Libs”, and it consists of filling in blanks with certain categories of words. Usually it is played with silly stories, but it seems that all too often sensationalist, hateful propaganda follows the same pattern of “Mad Libs”, only more mad, and less funny.

The Spread of Islam

7/4/2008 9:47:32 PM

The spread of Islam originally was and may still be a divine answer to the worldwide collapse of civilization. To my knowledge, this thesis has not been addressed by historians, but it is increasingly credible.

Exploiting the Muslim- Jewish divide

7/3/2008 5:36:44 PM

Exploiting the Muslim- Jewish divide is the wrong way to win votes. There's a disturbing trend in this 2008 election. We are witnessing the manipulation and exploitation of Muslim-Jewish differences by political candidates in pursuit of votes. As advocates for our respective communities, we believe it's in America's interest that it stop.

The “grand strategy” of Islam has always been to address issues of conscience in both domestic and foreign policy by focusing on causes rather than merely on effects.
