US group to protest terrorism in name of Islam
2009-12-30
[Al Arabiya Latest] A Detroit-based American attorney told Al Arabiya on Tuesday he is organizing a peaceful protest against terrorism in the name of Islam on the day the U.S. District Court has scheduled a hearing for the Nigerian who attempted to blow up a Delta airlines flight.

"For eight or nine years Muslims are attacked by the media and by terrorists who pretend to represent us. It is time we take a stand and show Islam is not an evil religion, it is a religion of peace. Those who would commit terrorism do not represent Islam," Majed Moughni, organizer of the Dearborn Area Community Members, told Al Arabiya.

Majed Moughni, organizer
The Detroit bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, is accused of trying to attack Northwest Airlines flight 253 en route to Detroit Metro Airport on Christmas Day, by attempting to detonate an explosive device on board. He claimed he was acting on al-Qaeda orders.

Moughni's Facebook group, the Dearborn Area Community Members, called for local Muslims and other citizens to join the protest and take a strong stand against Abdulmutallab's actions.

One post read: "Please bring your signs, and American flags: theme: "NOT IN THE NAME OF ISLAM."

#5  The Muslims are Peace lie is getting very old, and proved a pure lie.

If you really want the world's respect, modify your religious teachings and clean your own house.
If not, the hell with all Muslims.

#3  there was a similar event in 2005 initiated by the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terror (or Terrorism)

It was endorsed by a bunch of moderate/reformer/progressive muslims but opposed by CAIR, etc.

per this report, it was attended by fewer than 100 people (some of whom were not muslims)

#2  The insurmountable problem is, when your prophet says it's OK to lie "whenever you're uncomfortable", who's ever going to believe you're telling the truth.

#1  time we take a stand and show Islam is not an evil religion

While I like the idea, it's not much and kind of late. And good luck with it, Majed - betcha some of your 'peaceful' brethren show up looking for a fight.
