Letters To The Editor

The takfiri mass murderers and cannibals are a blot on the name of Islam. Their backers must also be exposed to rescue the good name of Islam.

It is distressing to note how easily dubious players are able to manipulate Muslims to advance their own nefarious agenda. Some Muslims never seem to learn. First, it was Afghanistan, then Iraq, and now Syria. Throw in the mayhem in Pakistan and we can begin to see what is going on. Amid all this, the rise of takfirism — the phenomenon of some Muslims denouncing others as kafirs — is a new low. Who are these criminals whose own conduct is despicable, to pass judgment on other Muslims?
