 Topic: Anti-Islamophobia ResourcesPosted: 13 January 2016 at 1:53pm |
|
As the Islamophobia wave gets stronger and stronger each day, with the US Presidential elections this year and other issues around the globe, this thread will gather resources to respond to the Islamophobia Brigade which often visits this forum.
This will help us save time of going back again and again, year after year, to the same issues. The first resource is from The University of California, Berkeley, and is titled "Islamophobia Studies Journal" http://crg.berkeley.edu/content/islamophobia/islamophobia-studies-journal ... More to follow ... |

Dealing with Islamophobia: Lesson from Allah
An excellent reminder by Dr. Yasir Qadhi that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, when he was in Makkah also dealt with Islamophobia. How did Allah (SWT) guide him to deal with it? Verses from the Qur'an were revealed when Muslims were being persecuted in Makkah, the first Islamophobia, where Allah (SWT) says: "We know that you, [O Muhammad], are saddened by what they say. And indeed, they do not call you untruthful, but it is the verses of Allah that the wrongdoers reject." (6:33) It's completely fine to feel hurt ... It's human to feel hurt... When people say nasty things to us, it's normal to feel hurt. And that is what Allah (SWT) says to the Prophet, peace be upon him: We know it hurts, in Chapter 15. "And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say. So exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him]. And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death)." (15:97-99) So when you feel that distress, always praise Allah (SWT), fall down in sajdah and pray, and continue to worship Allah until the end of your life. So the number one way to alleviate this pain is to open up a channel of communication with Allah (SWT). Praise Allah, make du'aa to Allah, and continue to worship Allah. When the world seems to hate you, know that Allah (SWT) loves you. So the Prophet, peace be upon him, is being told as the animosity increases, you should increase your relationship with Allah. And this is an explicit verse: as Islamophobia goes up, so should our connection with Allah. This will calm us down, this will bring us the courage and the patience to withstand all that is happening around us. If we don't have Allah we have nothing, and if we have Allah we don't need anything else. So just ignore their hatred, you are in your bubble of worship, just keep on going... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqN8CZP3fTg (4 minutes)  |

A Muslim parent's guide to talking to children about acts of violent extremism
Muslim children are growing up in a challenging time in America. Our nation is engaged in military conflicts in places with predominantly Muslim populations, and the domestic war on terror is focused disproportionately on Muslim citizens. There is also a surge in Islamophobia and hate crimes against Muslims in America. Round the clock cable news coverage, combined with a constant exposure to social media contributes to a heightened sense of insecurity and urgency for all Americans and especially Muslims. In this complex environment, it is important for parents of Muslim children to recognize their own needs and their children’s needs... http://www.islamophobia.org/157-talking-to-muslim-children-after-an-act-of-violent-extremism/173-a-muslim-parent-s-guide-to-talking-to-children-after-an-act-of-violent-extremism.html |

Dealing With Racism & IslamophobiaDonald Trump, one of the many presidential candidates in the current US election, are using hate speech and bigotry to advance their political agenda.He has advocated on banning Muslims from entering the country, claiming that Muslims should be registered in national databases, and more recently, Muslims are worthy of being killed with bullets dipped in pig’s blood. What impact is this anti-Islamic rhetoric have on our communities, both here in Canada and across the border? How should we deal and respond in these times, despite our difficulties and challenges? We sit down with Dr. Shabir Ally to discuss this topic further... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19hcZlm6QBA (10 minutes)
