Muslim Voices Promoting Islamic Non Violent Solutions - article collection

compiled by Sheila Musaji

Muslims all over the world have spoken out loudly against violence and terrorism.  They have not been able to stem the tide in a world filled with injustice any more than any other religious group has been able to stem the tide.

Muslims have not only spoken out against specific criminal acts and against political organizations such as Al Qaeda, they have also spoken for spiritual and non violent solutions - dialogue and peace. 

These are voices that need to be heard and amplified.  Who even among Muslims have heard of Abdul Ghaffar Khan or Mubarak Awad?  The tragedy is that such voices just don’t sell newspapers.

We will attempt to collect these voices and add to this collection regularly.
