| From A Very Visible Niqaabi to Her Self-Appointed Champion: An Open Letter to Mona Eltahawy -
AnonyMouse (Zainab bint Younus) |
| To Mona Eltahawy... As much as you no doubt think that you are doing great good by appointing yourself as a champion for (or against? You’re a bit confusing on that point) Muslim women who wear niqaab, I’d appreciate if you stopped and listened to me first. |
| Statement from Abuz Zubair released to the BBC -
Abuz-Zubair |
| This statement was issued to the BBC on 11/03/2011 in response to their query regarding Dr. Usama Hasan and Abuz Zubair's comments |

| A public statement and message to the Muslim community from IslamicAwakening.Com on the good news of Usama Hasan's expulsion from Masjid al-Tawheed |
| Islam, The reality of the modernists and the theory that human beings evolved -
Shaqur Rehman |
| One of the difficulties that face the Muslim nation today is the pressure to conform to the dominant discourse and popular culture. The battle for hearts and minds is constant – it is waged through 24 hour media (otherwise known as the 24 hour propaganda machine), through the educational establishments that teach our children truth mixed with falsehood, and by the hypocrites in our own ranks: people who appear to be from us, yet their hearts incline towards evil, slowly drip feeding their pernicious falsehood to fit their agenda of reforming and modernising Islam. |
| Honour Crimes and Muslims -
Umm Rashid |
| There has never been a precedent in the early generations of Muslims of people carrying out "honour" killings, or even encouraging and condoning such acts. In fact, some of the alleged "misdemeanours" that provoke such attacks are actually rights that Islam has granted women. |
| A Simple Matter of Disagreement? -
Haytham bin Jawwad al-Haddad |
| A Dialogue with the Muslim Community on Music, Culture, Identity and Britishness.
In an article written by Sister Yvonne Ridley titled Pop Culture in the name of Islam (Apr 06)1, she heavily criticised a recent phenomenon sweeping through Muslim communities across the UK and affecting both the young and more mature generations. The condemnation was particularly directed towards Brother Sami Yusuf. Reasons for this could be due to certain statements he made as well as his status as one of the foremost stars of ‘Islamic music’. |
| Progress with the Progressives -
Ibn Abi Umar |
| "Progressive Islam is trying to harmonize Islam with modern values of human rights and freedom. They have preconceived notions about this. They are looking at the Quran and Sunnah and trying to read their views into it. So they are forced to reject the texts outright or try to reinterpret them. |
| Pop Culture in the Name of Islam -
Yvonne Ridley |
| The rivers of blood flow freely from the veins of our brothers and sisters from across the Muslim world. Screaming and shouting the names of musical heroes drown out the screams coming from the dungeons of Uzbekistan where brothers and sisters are boiled alive in vats of water |
| Understanding the Concept of Integration - A critical analysis of Dr. Tariq Ramadan's views. -
Hani Abid |
| Tariq Ramadan and those “Thinkers” who share his ideology are an extension of a mass wave of attack on Islam. It is not about integration; it’s about assimilation and adoption of all that is secular and abandonment of the Muslim identity. It is a concerted effort by the West to remove any reference to God on Earth. |
| Pretensions Of Post Modernism and the Hadith of Umm Waraqah -
Maulana Tauha Karaan |
| The neocon West needs persons like Amina Wadud and episodes like her Jumu'ah adventure to achieve its goals. The Amina Waduds of this world stand to benefit immensely from the exposure and patronage of this government. |
| Progressing Where? -
Abu `Abdis-Salaam |
| It is clear that the war against Islam has taken on a new front. It is not just a physical war; clearly there are people who do not want to just destroy the Muslims, but want to destroy their whole ideology. This will never happen. Islam has been able to withstand the attacks of old and it is able to withstand the attacks of today. But the question we must ask is: Where are the progressives trying to take us? |
| ‘No Thanks’ to Tariq Ramadan -
Abuz-Zubair |
| There is no doubt that the West has doubled her efforts in secularising Islam by using the ‘fifth column’ to shed much of its political, cultural and spiritual aspects. Exactly a year after the RAND report, we witnessed the Amina Wadud incident, and only twelve days later came yet another attack on the Shariah, by Dr. Tariq Ramadan. This article comes as a response to the latter’s recent call for a moratorium on Hudud. |
| Woman's Reflection on Leading Prayer -
Yasmin Mogahed |
| "Given my privilege as a woman, I only degrade myself by trying to be something I'm not--and in all honesty--don't want to be: a man. As women, we will never reach true liberation until we stop trying to mimic men, and value the beauty in our own God-given distinctiveness." |
| Women leading men in prayers -
Abu Yusuf Tawfique Choudhury |
| Response to an article by a fringe group of 'modernists' regarding women leading men in prayer. |
| The Ruling on a Woman Leading a Public Congregational Prayer -
Jamaal al-Deen Zarabozo |
| More recently, others have made the claim that there is no harm in women leading men in prayers. Some have even claimed that it is permissible for a woman to lead men and women in the Friday Prayers or other obligatory congregational prayers in the mosque. Indeed, this has actually been done in practice. It is this particular issue that shall be dealt with here. |
| The Trouble with Islam’s Reformists -
Amir Butler |
| Although figures such as Tariq Ali, Irshad Manji or Ibn Warraq may differ in the details, these unsolicited sages all argue that the Muslim world must somehow reconcile its beliefs with “modernity” |
| WD Mohammed: A Consistent Pattern From 1975 To The Present (2000) -
|
| For time there has been much confusion with regards to Islam or Kufr of WD Mohammad, where the generality of modernists continue to insist on differing with Ahlus-Sunnah. This library of WD's quotes, from 1975 to 2000, makes it impossible for anyone to err regarding Islamic Ruling on WD. |
