The times have changed. We’re entering a new phase of this confrontation… we are horrified by the brutality and the savagery- Dalil Boubakeur, Imam of Paris, France Our Prophet was verbally abused and physically harrased multiple times in Makkah. Never ONCE did any of the Companions go and murder those who did such deeds. Do those who kill others in the name of the Prophet believe that they love him more than the companions? And even for those who believe that the penalty for blasphemy should be death: by unanimous consensus of ALL the scholars of Islam, this must take place after a legitimate trial, by a qualified judge, appointed by a legitimate Islamic state. Under NO circumstances does Islam allow vigilante justice, for to open this door leads to chaos, confusion and bloodshed. Muslims: get your act together!! Such acts of terror are not only haram and spill innocent blood, they will come back to harm you and your communities in the short and long run.- Sheikh Yasir Qadhi, USA I feel deep sorrow.

Contrary to what was apparently said by the killers in the bombing of Charlie Hebdo’s headquarters, it is not the Prophet who was avenged, it is our religion, our values and Islamic principles that have been betrayed and tainted.

Hellyer, Nonresident Fellow in MENA, Brookings Institution and Harvard, UK In the aftermath of the heinous attack in Paris, and the equally heinous “operations” occurring elsewhere, my immediate response is re-posting my “Peace Plea.” When will we learn that senseless violence only begets more senseless violence.
