Muslims never condemned 9/11

UPDATE: Hood has a post on this subject.

Nope, not a single Muslim according to the racist slur filled emails I received from some anti-Muslim bigots last night in “commemoration of the victims of 9/11″

It’s been six years since the 9/11 attacks and I am amazed that some still think that Muslims have never condemned the 9/11 attacks.

I have condemned terror ad hominum myself on numerous occasions loudly and clearly, but it is still not enough. This is a pretty long list of a lot (not all) of the condemnations that have been issued by individual Muslims and Muslim organizations. Br Sameer Parker has a blog almost completely dedicated to dispelling the myth that Muslims do not refute the murderists. Then there is also this list

Yet I still get over the top racist hate email (and racist comments that have to be deleted non-stop) containing “coon jokes”, racist pictures of lynchings, the n-word and other racial slurs. I haven’t seen such ugly racism in my life until I started this blog and they started emailing me after this post. Wonder if they carry themselves like this in public?

This is why I say that these people can not be satisfied and see what they want to see. Their issue with me appears to be the color of my skin more than my religion.

Nonetheless, we will continue to do the right thing and condemn terror and the lunatics that want to kill all of us.

  1. A brief journey through American History….At least the Muslims are speaking up and out against terrorism, too bad the church isn’t practicing what it preaches!

    As someone following the presidential run of mormon, Williard Mitt Romney, I was really struck by this story.

    I gew up in the mormon church, and never heard of this

  2. [...] Also, for all those who think that we have not condemned terror, see this post

  3. [...] Tariq Nelson - Muslims Never Condemned 9/11 [...]

  4. the link to Sameer’s blog isn’t working

  5. Why aren’t they condemning what white terrorists have been doing for centuries till today?

  6. Salaams Tariq,

    I’m sorry you receive such disturbing mail. It shows two things, I think. Firstly, humankind is clearly going through some disturbing and important times. Secondly, you are doing important work.

    May God strengthen your arm…
