When it comes to incidents like what happened in Paris, as a Muslim, even though I do not believe one needs to speak about every incident in the Media, what you can do is condemn it and explain why these types of acts are not from Islam(with knowledge of course). Now here is a list of what *not* to do: 1. Dont apologize. You as an individual are not personally responsible for someone elses misrepresentation of Islam. You are not guilty and neither is Islam. So do not apologize for Islam, for innocent Muslims, and for Islam. 2. Dont blame the victims. Some people have this mentality of they are Kuffar, they deserved it. Or this mentality of look at all the crimes they have committed against us. Is this dawah? Is this justice? 3. Dont justify the guilty. Yes, we are Muslim, and yes, they may be Muslim. But instead of clarifying the Kharijee mentality, you defend them just because they are Muslim? 4. Dont appease the Kuffar with talk of how much you love democracy, freedom of speech, human rights, and liberty. I mean, seriously, if you actually believe in these things you are jahil. These are the things that come part and parcel with secular liberalism. You believe in that? Cmon now: - Democracy is Kufr. Freedom of speech or freedom of expression are vacuous, almost meaningless slogans that are only selectively applied anyway. People can curse Allah, slander the Prophet(sal Allahu `alayhi wasallam), and lie about Islam on national TV, but say anything about the Jews, even if its true, and you are an anti-Semite. As if the Arabs arent Semitic. - Human rights seems to almost always mean either our rights, not theirs, or people misunderstand the concept of rights entirely. The key word in rights is right, as in that which is correct. And with rights comes responsibility. - Liberty?{In my Umar Quinn voice} You a Muslim right? People should be free to find and follow the right path. People should be free to speak the Truth. People should, however, be prevented from evil. True liberty is doing what you were created for, to worship your Creator and Him alone. And liberty is also the freedom from the enslavement of desires, and any other type of bondage. 5. Dont participate in rallies, and marches, and demonstrations, or protests to show solidarity with the Kuffar. Protests are still haram, and the futility of begging the Kuffar for justice need not even be elaborated here. You ever heard of wal wal baraa? Some realities are unchanged by tragedies. 6. Dont keep reminding the Kuffar that the policeman killed was Muslim. They are well aware that Muslims are the primary victims of Kharijee violence, even though they have no clue what a Kharijee is. But reminding them cheapens human lives. 7. And last, but not least, dont say Je suis Charlie. Not on social media posts, not with words, and not with memes. Charlie made a living off hate and slandering our beloved Messenger(sal Allahu `alayhi wasallam) and the religion of Allah. Thats who you are? Je suis Musulman. via: Samuel Pierre
