Basketball Legend: Islam Is Religion of Peace A Muslim basketball legend has defended his comments after Chralie Hebdo attacks earlier this month, asserting that Islam is a religion of peace which extremists use as a mask to cover their crimes. Islam is a religion of peace, Islam does not tolerate wanton murder,” basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told NBC “Meet The Press” on Sunday, January 25. The Muslim athlete was criticized earlier this month after declaring the Paris attacks were not about religion, but about money. His opinion was expressed in an interview with the CNN as well as an editorial in “Time Magazine”. Knowing that these terrorist attacks are not about religion, we have to reach a point where we stop bringing Islam into these discussions. I know we arent there yet because much of the Western population doesnt understand the Islamic religion, Abdul-Jabbar wrote.
