Debunking The Myth That The Quran Endorses Violence
Kaleef K. Karim It is astonishing to see how some extremists love to cherry-pick verses out of the Quran in order to support their conclusion that Islam endorses violence against the innocent. Sadly, the ignorant, bigoted folk spew this further to the masses that Islam is a religion of violence. Let’s be clear – Muslims… Read More ›
Revisiting Quran 9:29 – Tabuk
Kaleef K. Karim Previously I wrote on Quran 9:29, you can read it here. As I examined the passage in its historical context, using early Muslim sources, it was evident that the aggressors were the Byzantine (Roman) Empire who had mobilised troops in order to exterminate the Muslim community in Arabia.

Examining Quran 9:29 – Does Islam Sanction The Killing Of Christians & Jews?
Kaleef K. Karim The answer is no! This verse (Q. 9:29) is by far the most problematic I have come across when reading the Quran.

Karim Whenever critics bring verses of the Quran to demonstrate that Islam is violent, that it sanctions Muslims to kill non-Muslims (as claimed by them), they do a cut and paste of a verse and try to hide its context. They don’t show the previous and the verses after, what it actually says. Take… Read More ›
What Does Islam Teach about Justice?
Harun Yahya The true justice described in the Qur’an commands man to behave justly, not discriminating between people, protecting others’ rights and not permitting violence, no matter what the circumstances, to side with the oppressed against the oppressor and to help the needy.

Does Islam Prohibit Educating Women?
Kaleef K. Karim The answer is no! There is a gross misunderstanding in the West that women in Islam are not allowed to seek education. The frenzy media most often show a poor village in a Muslim country, where Muslim girls are not allowed to seek education. Then, they connect it to Islam. They portray… Read More ›
