Following last week’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, which was carried out by Muslims who FBI officials say were Islamic State supporters, American mosques and Muslims have been hit with threats and attacks.
That includes a severed pig’s head being discovered in front of a Philadelphia mosque, a food store owner in New York City being attacked by a man who said he would “kill Muslims,” and a man breaking in to and vandalizing the Islamic Center of Palm Beach in Florida.
Yet, amid the onslaught of vitriol being directed at American Muslims that civil rights group say began picking up after last month’s terrorist attacks on Paris and several politicians’ statements against Muslim refugee resettlement, many Americans are coming together to protect and support the Islamic community.
In other words, despite presidential candidate Donald Trump saying on Monday that he wants to indefinitely ban all Muslims from coming to the U.S., there are plenty of Americans eagerly standing beside the nation’s nearly 3 million Muslims.

Dozens of the church’s members rallied on Friday in support of its neighboring mosque, the Clear Lake Islamic Center, holding signs saying “love thy neighbor no exceptions” and “we support our Muslim neighbors.”
“It’s important to stand on the side of respect and love and tolerance,” the Rev. Peter Morales, president of the Unitarian Universalist Association, told theAssociated Press. Ibrahim Ezghair, associate imam at the mosque, called the event “a really nice gesture.”

it is very clear this blog has been created by anti muslim individuals who cant hide their true face behind the literature they use in carrying out the news.
it is very sad and disgusting indeed.
…“which was carried out by Muslims who FBI officials say were Islamic State supporters“.. very poor use of language. I have noticed many instances like this in this blog and it is really sad when you make an effort with a very evil intention. sorry for the owners of this page!
I cannot follow the reasoning of ‘Anonymous’ here. We at the TMT bring News items from here and there which we feel might be of interest to readers. We do not agree with all that is happening in the News. But may be you can elaborate?
Those juvenile brains were playing what Shakespeare called ‘playing the Roman fool’: suicide by demonstrating in support of the jihadists.
Anonymous picked bones with “–which was carried out by Muslims who officials say were Islamic State supporters–“. Evidence shows that Seyd Farook had $28,000 paid into his account while his mother received three $5,000 lodgements into her account weeks and days before the massacres. Where did all that money come from and was the mother oblivious of the plan?
apparently the 28’000 was a loan he took.
From ISIS which he and the wife pledged allegiance to. The mother too got loans from sources that you know of and can vouch for in that you know the conduit through which such funds are remitted to the beneficiaries.
THE TEACHING OF GOD (ISLAM) ARE LOVE.
Our responsibility or duty to spread love to the world, specially to Extremist ideology.(Muslim, Christian, Jews, Hindu, Atheist etc)
ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF LOVE, AND PEACE.

MY CONCLUSION.
Who is Islam or Muslim?
all Jews, Christiants and Muslim are Islam, or Muslim, the offspring of Prophet Abrahaam (pbuh).
As human being, we have to love each other regardless his race, nationality, religion, and gender.
If we love each other is the core of peace, harmony and prosperity. So we can live together in peace in this beautiful world.
Hatred is the seed of the darkness and violence
Hatred is Evil—–and love is God’s teaching
May Allah guide us all to love all, ameen.
For You from My Heart.
All those who read shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; O Allah, be my witness, that I have conveyed your message to your people.
Wassalamu’alaikum wrwb
With all my love.

“ALL JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS ARE ISLAM, OR MUSLIM, THE OFFSPRING OF PROPHET ABRAHAM(PBUH)”.
Jews predate muslims by more than 2,000 years and Christianity by about 600 years. Would any body in his right senses say that people who lived 600-2,000 years are part of something that never existed? Assuming, but without conceding, that present day ‘Jews and Christians’ are ‘muslims’, what about those who passed on long before Muhammad was born?
In any case, neither Jews nor Christians are ‘muslim’.The quran makes that abundantly clear by calling them ‘people of the book’ instead of ‘muslims’ for they are not in the throng of Muhammad’s followers.
@ Dear Namelee, I really happy to give you a proof in Al Quran that we are all Muslim,.
Hopefully you believe in God’s verses.
Prophet Ibrahim’s Faith.
WHO IS ISLAM?
Those who believe in Creator, they are Islam or Muslim.
Islam was exist since Prophet Adam. All Allah prophets were Islam, and all His books such as Taurat, Zabur,Injil and Al Quran are Islamic teaching from Creator or Allah.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was the last Prophet, al Quran is the last Book of Allah.
Most Muslim Scholars have different interpretation. Islam or Muslim are those who believe in prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Al Quran.
Conversely those who do not believe in Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and Al Quran are accused unbeliever or “kafir” not Islam or not Muslim.
They are misconception.
Whereas Allah and Prophet say in Al Quran clearly;
And remember that Ibrahim was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: he said: “I will make thee an Imam to the Nations.” He pleaded: “And also (Imams) from my offspring!” He answered: “But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers.”QS 2;124
And this was the Legacy that Ibrahim left to his sons, and so did Ya’qub; “O my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the state of submission (to Allah).QS 2;132
Verily, this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other). QS 21;92
Struggle for (seeking the pleasure of) Allah, a struggle that is owed to Him. He has chosen you ( Muhammad ) and did not impose any hardship on you in the religion, the faith of your father Ibrahim. ( Islam)
He (Allah) named you as Muslims (Islam) earlier ( offspring Abrahaam, Jews, Christiants OR Al Kitab) and also in this (Qur’an), so that the Messenger becomes a witness to you, and you become witnesses to (other) people. 16 So establish Salah, pay Zakah and hold fast to Allah. He is your patron or protector . So, how excellent He is as a patron, and how excellent as a supporter! QS 22;78
Those who believe (in the Qur-an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians – any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness – on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve QS 5;69 ( all followers Mose, Jesus are Islam)
To every People have We appointed rites and ceremonies which they must follow, let them not then dispute with thee on the matter, but do thou invite (them) to thy Lord: for thou art assuredly on the Right Way.
QS 22:67 ( It means that every religious group has ther own way to worship God ).
Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to Allah, does good, and follows the way of Ibrahim the true in faith? For Allah did take Ibrahim for a friend.QS 4:124
Hopefull those verses can convince you, if you still have question, I will be happy to explain to you Nemelee.
With love.

Ali hidayah, you may delude yourself as much as you like but that will not alter the facts. These are that Muhammad started what he called islam and named his followers ‘muslims’. Even his grandfather did not call himself ‘muslim’. If you dispute this, please present any ancient document predating Muhammad which mentions ‘islam’ and ‘muslim’.
