If you've spent anytime in the online world, you've most likely come across the sentiment that muslims are all complicit in terrorism and that we don't ever say anything against terrorism. I know I've blogged about my frustrations as the resident muslim apologist of Christian Forums, where I heard this claim at least once a week. It gets really old, but over time, I developed a list of muslim organizations and statements about terrrorism and violence that I could easily copy and paste.
Now, the American Muslim online zine has done a much better job. Anyone who discusses Islam and muslims online should bookmark these lists for easy reference:
Muslim Voices Against Extremism and Terrorism - Part I - Fatwas
Part II - Statements by Organizations
Part III - Statements & Articles by Individuals
Part IV A few Quotes
Part V The Muslim Majority
Selective Hearing of Muslim Voices Against Extremism and Terrorism
Claim that all terrorists are Muslims ignores history
