No. This is evidence-
Conservatives reacted harshly to President Obamas claim on Wednesday night that the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is not Islamic, accusing the commander-in-chief of naivet and ignorance. What kindergartner briefs the President on terrorism? Ron Christie, a GOP strategist tweeted. ISIS says its Islamic, lots of people say its Islamic, only the president wont, George Will told Fox News shortly after the speech.
But the full context of Obamas remark points to an important distinction between Islam and the extremist ideology thats sweeping parts of Iraq and Syria. No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISILs victims have been Muslim, Obama said. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.
Indeed, even from the viewpoint of a casual observer, ISIS is an abomination to Islam. Explosions tend to capture the medias attention more than peaceful coexistence, and a minuscule minority of extremist groups claiming to be Islamic have exploited this fact as a way to reinvent Islam as a violent religion. But just because you shout Gods name while committing murder doesnt make your actions righteous. Islam, as millions of Muslims can attest, is a peaceful religion that calls on its followers to choose community over conflict, or, as it says in Surah al-Hujurat of the Quran (49:13): O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise [each other]).
Even from the viewpoint of a casual observer, ISIS is an abomination to Islam.
But ISIS clearly has little regard for this or other fundamental tenets of Islam. They have sparked the rage of Iraqi Muslims by carelessly blowing up copies of the Quran, and they have killed their fellow Muslims, be they Sunni or Shia. Even extremist Muslims who engage in warfare have strict rules of engagement and prohibitions against harming women and children, but ISIS has opted to ignore even this by slaughtering innocent youth and using rape and sexual slavery as a weapon.
And despite the conservative backlash, Obamas analysis has received support from an unlikely voice: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). During an appearance on Fox News Hannity, the potential 2016 presidential candidate, praised the president for differentiating ISIS ideology from the beliefs of Muslims in America and around the world. Well, I think there was one important point that he was making about them not being Islamic or a form of true Islam, he said. I think it is important not only to the American public but for the world and the Islamic world to point out this is not a true form of Islam. This is an aberrant form that should not represent most of the civilized Islamic world.
Its always a tricky business decrying a religious tradition that is not your own.
Granted, its always a tricky business decrying a religious tradition that is not your own. Also, while many faiths have internal hierarchies with judges that decide what is or isnt proper behavior, Islam is a decentralized religious tradition that as much as ISIS claims otherwise lacks a single religious authority. But just as the diverse collective of Protestant Christians listen to each other, the opinion of a broader Islamic community always matters, and President Obamas condemnation of ISIS is backed up by a global chorus of Muslim voices that are working to rebuke the groups claim on Islam. Virtually every single American Muslim organization has publicly disavowed both the ideology and the practices of ISIS, and just hours before Obamas address, dozens of Muslim American clerics and community leaders distanced their religion from the beliefs of the terrorist extremists. ISIS and al Qaeda represent a warped religious ideology, Faizal Khan, imam of the Islamic Society of America mosque in Silver Spring, said during a press conference with Muslim-American leaders from Indonesia, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Sudan and Trinidad. Either we reject this violence in the clearest possible terms, or we allow them to become the face of Islam and the worlds perception of us for years to come.
Countless Islamic groups around the globe have also vehemently rejected ISIS. French Imams are blasting the militant group from their pulpits. Britians largest Mosque has declared them Un-Islamic. Sunni and Shia clerics in Iraq have distributed a fatwa to nearly 50,000 mosques announcing that ISIS is not in any way linked to [the Muslim] faith and warning that failing to stand up against the group is effectively a sin. Even Egypts Grand Mufti has lambasted the group, and Dar al-Ifta, one of the most influential Muslim schools in the world, has launched a global campaign to strike the word Islamic from ISISs title, seeking to rebrand it as al-Qaeda Separatists in Iraq and Syria, or QSIS, saying the organization has tarnished image of Islam across the globe.
As one Libyan tweeted: If you think Muslims arent condemning ISIS, its not because Muslims arent condemning ISIS. Its because youre not listening to Muslims.
If you think Muslims arent condemning ISIS, its not because Muslims arent condemning ISIS. Its because youre not listening to Muslims.
This issue, of course, isnt unique to Islam. The Ku Klux Klan burns crosses and preaches hate in the name of Jesus Christ, and the ostensibly Christian Lords Resistance Army regularly ravages villages and recruits child soldiers in Western Africa. Hindu extremists burned mosques and sparked violence in India in the 1990s. Buddhist extremists exist, and are spewing hatred in several parts of Asia. But in all of these cases, the vast majority of believers worked or are working to disavow the actions of fanatics and preserve the core, peaceful principles of their faith just as Muslims are now doing with ISIS.
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not one is or isnt religious is left up to God. But we are all tasked with religious life here on earth, where the opinion of a religious community should matter, and Muslims the world over have made their position clear: No matter how many people they kill to gain power, how many fellow Muslims they terrorize into submission, or how loudly they scream their self-righteous blasphemy to the heavens, ISIS is not nor will ever be Islamic. -
ISIS is Islamic, but that doesn't mean Muslims are bad.
