Muslims for Peace
J. Clifford of Irregular Times recently wrote: "The truth is that Islam is both a religion of peace and a religion of violence, because Islam isn’t really a single thing... Individual Muslims can do a great deal to shift the debate toward the side of peace, of course, though they will never win over everyone to their view. Muslims can make the claim of Islam as a religion of peace more credible by being open and vocal in their Muslim identity and in their support for peace."
Religion is generally given a pass when it comes to critical thinking, and every religion, Islam included, deserves to be harshly scrutinized when it makes fantastic claims based upon the idea of special supernatural knowledge. However, there is also some care called for when it comes to the judgment of an entire group of people according to their religious identification. There are many in America these days who say that Muslims are inherently violent, but the fact is that most Muslims are quite peaceful in nature.
Please, read and consider more about: Muslims for Peace from the Squidoo lens of that name.
Also, the following items help to promote the idea of Muslims for peace, and give followers of Islam the opportunity to show their support for peace in public:
- A Muslims for Peace shirt design, printed only on shirts made in the USA
- A Muslims for Peace bumper sticker
