I keep trying to shine a light on Muslims who speak up against Islamist terrorism and extremism, but finding them has been frustratingly difficult—and then of course I appear to all the liberals as a racist or intolerant or as if I’m stereotyping.
Kamal Nawash, Muslim, seems to understand my plight however, and might help me find more people to highlight.
Spoiler alert! This is actually the last two paragraphs, not that it ruins the article (2 minutes)—just so you know.
[…] Only moderate Muslims can challenge and defeat extremist Muslims. We can no longer afford to be silent. If we remain silent to the extremism within our community, then we should not expect anyone to listen to us when we complain of stereotyping and discrimination by non-Muslims. We should not be surprised when the world treats all of us as terrorists. And we should not be surprised when we are profiled at airports.
Simply put, not only do Muslims need to join the war against extremism and terror, we need to take the lead in this war.
