British Muslims are leading a new campaign condemning the recent attempted car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.
The campaign, titled "Not in Our Name", will be launched across the UK with adverts in newspapers.

It emphasises "the Muslim community's rejection of any attempts to link any such criminal attacks to the teachings of Islam", organisers said.

Muslims from various professions have backed the campaign, including doctors.

The advert, accredited to "Muslims United", also carries a quotation from Koran reading: "Whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he killed the whole of mankind.

"And whoever saves one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind."

'Calm response'

The emergency services have been praised for "working tirelessly and courageously" while the government has been commended for handling the crisis "calmly and proportionately".

The advert, which will also appear on billboards, buses and underground trains, calls for the community to stand united against terrorism.

The campaign has received support from Conservative Muslim Forum, Islamic Relief, the Islamic Society of Britain and Muslim Doctors and Dentists Association among others.

MUSLIMS UNITED
..Whoever kills an innocent soul.. it is as if he killed the whole of mankind, And whoever saves one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind”

[The Holy Quran, 5:32]

That's fantastic news!
Many Western voices have been critical of the apparent reluctance by the Muslim population to publically condemn those acts of terrorism. Not any more, it would appear! :thumbs_up

Thanks for sharing, HBot.

Since Jihadism and militant extremism affects muslim communities in Europe it is a good idea to create such demonstrations. To condemn it and prevent.

Great slogan! Fantastic PR idea and it would seem to marginalize and deligitimize the kooks.

Can you imagine a TV campaign with Muslims in every profession looking up from their work and saying "not in my name"?

It is a good slogan. Since I tend to not take things seriously, and have a twisted (read: not funny) sense of humour, if I were asked to come up with a slogan, the best I would be able to muster would be 'Over My Dead Body'.

Muslims say that killing an innocent people is like killing a whole world. I think that those who condemn terrorism should explain exactly who are innocent people in islam. I heard some sheik saying that in Israel there are no innocent people, as this state is in war with muslims. So maybe for some muslims there are no "Innocent souls " in USA or England. What do you think about it.

great idea.
btw, there is a group of survivors and relatives of the victims of 9/11 who use it to object about all that has been done in their name.

Salaam

The idea that the campaign should be globalised, is an excellent one. :D I like how there is a direct quote from the Quran, showing not only the British community, but the world as a whole that Islam does not condone these attacks and Muslims do not either.

W/Salaam

I disagree with much of Blair's and Bush's foreign policies, and I have participated in demonstrations and campaigns against the Iraq war ... but I'm afraid their errors (no matter how grave) do not justify anybody to kill other innocent people in turn! (Do you really believe that? :()

This is a fine opportunity for the Muslim world to prove to the Western leaders that they can do better than them! Not to pay likes for likes ...

Is Eesa (PBUH)'s call for forgiveness, turning the other cheek, loving one's enemies and reaching out in love and kindness not echoed in Muhammed's teachings? :rollseyes

Peace

Now that's what I'm talking about! Good for them! British Muslims are really doing great things, like this campaign, as well as organizations like Muslim Aid that are providing relief services all over the world. Finally, someone to show the world who we really are. Mashaa-Allah :)

Although there are great injustices being carried out against the Muslim population, I don not resort to violence against Innocent people in the UK. This should be our stance. Yes we know what is going on in our Ummah, but there are other way we can help i.e. lobby our local mp, get organised, charity (interpal) etc.

I went to our local emergancy meeting and the points raised by the senior officers where good. They said that they have learned from past mistakes and that they will not be repeated 9Forrest gate). Overall the security forces and the Intelligence service are trying to work with us to reduce these kind of acts. I think it is our duty as Muslim to help in what ever way.

Al-Baqarah 2:143

And thus have We willed you to be a community of the middle way, so that [with your lives] you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind, and that the Apostle might bear witness to it before you.

In britain it is just a small minority of Muslims who want to kill people but every Muslim is treated the same in Britain badly so they feel that they have no choice.

"If Muslims were treated better they wouldn't want to kill people"? I'm not even Muslim, and I give Muslim people more credit than that.

The car bombs were a disgrace but you could say why did they do it maybe it is because Britain illegally occupies Iraq and Afghanistan.
