12 Principles of Islamic Unity - Action Items - Part 4 Source: http://www.usislam.org/islam/PrinciplesofIslamicUnity.htm
8. Be supportive to converts to Islam Islam is the fastest growing religion. Converts to Islam have tremendous courage than many born-Muslims do not have. They convert against many odds that many times put a huge pressure on them. In USA, think of the growing Latino and Afro-American brothers and sisters, and include them in your activities, and dont attempt to confuse them with our traditional confusions. 9. Avoid labeling Muslims A Muslim is a Muslim. This is the only name that is used in Quran. However, there are Muslim groups who call themselves other names, or attach other identities to the word Muslim. There are the good, the bad, and the ugly. These labels include: Sunni, shiah, salafi, conservative, moderate, liberal, fundamentalist, radical, progressive, secular, pluralist, Qadianis, even gay and lesbian Muslims. These labels are invented from within, and imported from the worst part of western culture. The bad and ugly labels claim to be Muslims who wants to impose their poisonous ideas as a way of reforming the Islamic Ummah to match the worst part of western culture. 10. Have mercy and dont kill or torture another Human being The record of Human rights is the worst in Muslim countries among all nations on Earth. Can you believe a Muslim saying In the name of Allah, the most compassionate the most merciful, who kills or tortures another human being? Can you believe the torture that is subjected to political adversaries and Islamic groups in Muslim countries? Can you believe the difference between the super rich and super poor in Muslim countries? Can you believe the number of unemployed Muslims in Muslim courtiers? May Allah be pleased with Umar, who was concerned about the well being of sheep in the land of Islam. 11. Thinking of the Danger of the Blind Common Adversary Muslims have many blind common adversaries. These are the people that attack the religion of Islam in the western Media and propagate verses in the Quran taken out of context. These are the people who publish hateful anti-Islam websites. There are even Muslim Users groups that are controlled by Christian missionaries and pluralist Muslims. These are the people that wrote their own version of Quran, and claim its superiority on our authentic Quran. These are the people that use WMD (Weapons of Missionary Deception) to convert uneducated poor, weak, or sick Muslims to Christianity. They have budget of $ 6.8 billion a year. These common adversaries do not work individually, but within organization with a considerable budget. Muslims should work together to expose their deception following the order of Allah: (16.125) Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious 12. Sympathy for Those Who Do Not See the Light The average non-Muslims do not see the light of Islam. They dont attack Islam and Muslims. Muslims should not be angry with them or expose their shortcomings. A Muslim should seek Allah's help in making His message clearer to those who were listening.
