Salim Mansur on Muslim violence

I was hoping Salim Mansur would write on the recent Newsweek-related violence.  And I couldn’t be happier to read his take on it. 

Outrageous behaviour hurts all Muslims” is the title of his column (it’s in the Columnist section).

Here’s a snippet:

It is violence done by Muslims under whatever pretext, politics or religion, that continues to cause greater harm to Islam than any real or imagined insult hurled by non-Muslims towards Muslim faith or culture.

As a Muslim, I find exceedingly abhorrent the continuing silence of the Muslim world in respect to the genocide unfolding in the Darfur region of a Muslim-majority Sudan.

This thundering silence is not an exception. It has, rather, become the rule of Muslim sensibility—turning a blind eye to horrors perpetrated by Muslims with justifications offered by references to the Koran or the traditions of the prophet.
