Arabs Don’t Want Palestinian Conflict to End
An Egyptian sociologist and the founder of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies in Cairo, Saad Eddin Ibrahim, a Muslim, says Arab countries do not want the Israel-Palestinian conflict to end because they have "vested interests." These countries were the architects of the present-day nightmares that Israelis and Palestinians live through. They urged Palestinian leaders to reject the two-state solution in 1947, resulting into Palestinians living as refugees in their own land. I went to school with some Palestinian Muslims and Christians. Some of them still live in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. I hope and pray for ...

Autobiography
Countless books have been written on the subject of Islam, making it a daunting task for the reader to select a good one. The lack of consensus among Islamic scholars also makes Islam a very complex topic. These scholars, who supposedly have the task of clearing the confusion in Islam, tend to prevaricate (beat around the bush) when questions that ...

Contextualization
Contextualization Gone Amok? Contextualization is a brilliant Christian Missiology idea (C1, C2 and C3) that has gone amok (C4 and C5). As a former Muslim and a graduate of madrassa, I have concerns especially with C5. First, how can a Muslim claim to be a follower of Jesus Christ while he or she still believes in the Qur’an—a book that vehemently ...

Islam Public Relations Nightmare I
Islam has gargantuan public relations nightmares and Muslims don’t want you to know of their existence. The first one starts with the first page of the Qur'an. Suratul Al-Fatihah is the first chapter in the current Qur’an. What they don’t tell you, Surat al-Iqra, also called al-Alaq, is the official chapter ONE that Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Muslims who ...

Taliban and Muslim
Rohan Sullivan of the Associated Press reports, “Pakistan will not hand Taliban suspects to US.” These are not mere terror suspects. One of them, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, is the second-in-command in Afghan Taliban. Pakistan is merely heeding Prophet Muhammad who said, “A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim. So he should neither oppress him nor hand him over ...

Confusion a Boom for Islam
Islam is growing rapidly. Some estimates put the world's Muslim population at 1.8 billion, surpassing that of Catholics. One wonders how this robust growth has been possible, especially considering how much Islam has been in the news. The September 11 attacks, activities of Al-Shaabab in Somalia, suicide bombings, kidnappings, beheadings in various Islamic countries, Abu Sayyaf fighting the Filipino government, ...

Who is a true Muslim? إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَرۡتَابُواْ وَجَـٰهَدُواْ بِأَمۡوَٲلِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهِمۡ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلصَّـٰدِقُونَ "The (true) believers are those only who believe in Allah and His messenger and afterward doubt not, but strive with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah. Such are the sincere." (Al-Hujraat, 49:15, Pickthall). Muslims are ...
