One Muslim Swerving Toward Truth
Verbatim: We need to make our young people love life
- What, then, has made them prefer death to life? I have no answer except the fact that we have not managed to make them love life. We have taught them to die for the sake of Allah, but we have not taught them to love, to build, to create and to help society for the sake of Allah. We have taught them that nationalism [means] attacking America and opposing imperialism, but we have not taught them that nationalism is love, loyalty and belonging to the homeland…
- How can this miserable creature called the Arab and Muslim individual not turn to extremism, when he is surrounded by an overall atmosphere of extremism, bound by the shackles of repression and prohibitions, and girded by the ideas of intimidation and terrorization, and of almost endless torment? These accompany this creature from birth to death, beginning with dire warnings about the torments of the grave and enemy plots lying in wait for Islam and the Muslims, [as well as] the long list of prohibitions that has made blessed life - the gift of the Creator - into a prison of pain from which the individual seeks to escape to Paradise and to the lovely maidens in it.
Now that your curiosity is whetted, click the link and read the whole thing. Let us pray that further contemplation will push Dr. Al Ansari over the edge of apostasy.
Three cheers for the Jerusalem Post for publishing the article.
