Why Don’t Muslims Condemn Terrorism? | William F. Vendley

CC: 🇺🇸 🇪🇸 🇹🇷 عربي
Why Don’t Muslims Condemn Terrorism? With over one billion Muslims worldwide, we’d expect to hear more from them. But what if we’re not getting the full story?
Watch our next video and hear Dr. William F. Vendley, a Catholic theologian, answer this contentious question. The former leader of Religions for Peace, the world’s largest multi-religious coalition working for peace in over 90 countries, Dr. Vendley shares his firsthand experience with unknown heroes who save lives every day in the name of their religion.
Currently, Dr. Vendley is Senior Advisor for Religion at the Fetzer Institute and Secretary General Emeritus Religions for Peace.

A woman in a burka has never hurt me, but men in suits and ties have.

[@shubhamrathi5531]

Beautifully said, my friend Bankers hurt everyone in the society. They steal money from everyone, openly. And everyone becomes poor and they keep getting rich.

[@akshaymore1991]

You would post opposite if muslims were Majority in ur nation. Btw they are getting majority.

[@mamurshed1]

How many burka women you know?

[@jayd3217]

Women in burka's prevent our schools from serving pork for the last 5 yrs and now as of the past school yr all meat must be halal. I'm in Canada and I know and have many Muslim friends, but I can say in time as more immigrate by what ever means, then the more they demand we loose our culture and adapt theirs. Islam is all about conquer in anyway that it can and if you think you are bringing salvation then you are being narcissist.

I am a Muslim French, media ask us 24/7 to condemn terrorism. All imams made it public and we are rarely invited to tv shows although they speak about us but when they do, they require an apology and to condemn those acts with aggressiveness “why don’t you condemn terrorism!! Why do you support terrorism by remaining silent”, we are tired of this public humiliation. Thank you for explaining this.

[@PajaFreedom]

I am a proud muslim 🙏🏼💖 I became a Muslim this Ramadan. But actually, I just realized that it was born realized that was born a Muslim but no one. I was born in the Czech Republic into a family that did not talk about God and love. But I have always believed in God and love. I have always said that Love is God and God is love. That is why I love Islam because there are answers to almost all my questions that I have had since I was little. I cried when I recited Shahada and I felt I had finally found my way home🙏🏼💖🕌 I love Allah and I love you all my sisters and brothers❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖💫🌍 💖الله محبة والمحبة ما هو الله💖 أشهدُ أنْ لا إلهَ إلاَّ اللهُ GREETINGS FROM SWEDEN 🇸🇪👋🏼

[@limbslap1917]

50 muslims were killed in newzealand and the killer(who hates muslims) is just in prison, and almost everyone forgot

[@leonardofavasoli2052]

Forgotten like the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka that killed several hundred people. What takes more organizing: one maniac with some firearms or a team (including many family members) coordinating multiple explosions at once? Another head scratcher.

[@youssrabwm5414]

Terrorism itself is a vague word, Algeria had suffered from an oppressed democracy that found no just way out resulted into mutual terror of the govt and the few people who used the guns out of their frustration, many of which were nothing more than drug addicts and alcoholic.... so not every power conflict means it was a terrorism...

[@z_tiger311]

Well then you should know who committed terrorism first, Algeria for the first time in history had Muslims win elections in majority but the government , the military and some say france didn't like that, so a coup & martial law were forced and people who protested got killed and from oppression anger & hate came radical groups, who emerged & thought that they're defending the truth but yet committing heinous acts so terrorism is byproduct of how governments treat their own people. ....... & you should know your real enemy & it's not Islam but those behind the curtains who want Muslims & 3rd world nations to reamian subrogated to western powers, now look how Algeria(our country) after all that is still swimming in oppression & corruption and the unethical secular government that's loyal to the invaders wants people to lose their faith & cultural Identity & never get back on our feet...our society is slowly decaying while reamining dependent of western control & that's why the hate Islam more than anything else because it gives us freedom & pride in ourselves to do better...may Allah(swt) have mercy on our martyrs.

Lovely video. I would like to point out that not only does compassion comes from Muslims to Christians alone but vice versa as well. People seem to forget the stories of the Arab spring when Christians protected their Muslim peers during prayer from rouge forces and the same was done by Muslims. If I would like to add one last thing, as a Muslim I would never hesitate to protect an innocent with my life for that is the most beautiful way to die. Some would accuse us of preaching suicidal tendencies. I would reply that we simply do not fear death but merely accept it. After all, We who belonged to God shall return to God once more (إنا لله و اليه راجعون )

I really appreciate all the efforts of the Emir-Stein Center in promoting religious peace around the world. One thing that may concern me is the large role of the media in presenting news that is often tendentious towards Islam, while we as Muslims mostly do not behave like what is reported because we understand that in Islam there is no suggestion to do evil. I think this is a big job on a global scale and it must involve a lot of money. My question: is there any attempt to investigate this matter? Where are the sources of money received by the media which often presents bad news against Islam? Who are the reporters, writers and media leaders connected to? To deal with forest fires, we have to extinguish the hotspots first.
