The Palestine Expo has been organised by the Friends of Al-Aqsa, whose chairman, Ismail Patel, once publicly denied that Hamas was a terrorist organisation.
Recordings of Mr Bhams sermons can be found on the website of South Africas Council of Muslim Theologians, of which he is secretary general.
In one he says: Goebbel [sic] was a very famous minister of the Nazis, and he tried to justify the killing of the Jews. Now as far as we are concerned, we do not need to feel apologetic because it was not done by Muslims.
Quoting Goebbels, he adds: One day he said that People tell me that Jews are human beings. Yes, I know they are human beings. Just as fleas are also animals. Just as fleas are also animals, they are also part of human beings like that.

[/youtube]While I agree much of Islam has a problem, there are many many good Muslims. And good Muslim teachers.
They just aren't nearly loud enough.

(4,987 posts)because radical Muslims have killed more Muslims than non-Muslims.
Anecdotally, one of my best and most enjoyable childhood friends (age from 8-14) and neighbor was a Muslim kid named Sayeed. Later his family moved to another city and we lost contact.

(76 posts)an interview with Ali Rizvi, author of "The Atheist Muslim". Among his comments:
"The hard truth is there is a lot of violence endorsed in the Quran, and there are other terrible things, as there are in the Old Testament. But there are more people in the world even if its a minority of Muslims who take their scripture seriously. Its dishonest to say that violent Muslim groups like ISIS are being un-Islamic."
"I think the left has a blind spot when it comes to Islam and the right has a blind spot when it comes to Muslims. When Christian fundamentalists like Pat Robertson say something that's homophobic or misogynistic, people on the left descend on them like a ton of bricks. Theyre very comfortable with criticizing and satirizing fundamentalist Christianity. But when it comes to Islam, which has many of the same homophobic and misogynistic teachings, they throw their hands up, back off, and say, whoa, hold on, we must respect their religion and culture. . . . This is very frustrating to our liberal counterparts in Muslim-majority countries, who are fighting fundamentalist Islam the same way that liberals here fight fundamentalist Christianity, and theyre even risking their lives for it. Many have died for it. Yet they hear their liberal counterparts in the West calling their ideas Islamophobic. This is a devastating double standard for them."
