Let it be noted, for the record, that our view as Muslims regarding the actions of ISIS as both un-Islamic and morally repugnant. No interpretation of Islam condones the wonton torture and murder of civilians, the destruction of churches and other houses of worship or the targeting of religious minorities. We reiterate our condemnation of the violent actions and religious extremism of ISIS and reject the false claim that it in any way represents mainstream Islamic thought or practice. ISIS’s actions are neither Islamic nor humane, they are simply insane. We applaud the humanitarian effort to assist those surrounded by ISIS extremists in Iraq and hope the compassion expressed for Iraqi civilians will lead to similar actions to alleviate the suffering of civilian populations of Gaza, Palestine, Burma (Myanmar), Syria, the Central African Republic, and all oppressed lands around the world.
