While Muslims have overwhelmingly condemned all terrorist attacks repeatedly, the news and print media largely abdicated their crucial responsibility of offering balanced coverage. Instead, too often, these organizations favored sensationalist points of view. This has resulted in an understanding of Islam that is preoccupied with terrorism, violence and security. This substitution of caricature for reality underscores the urgent need to study the portrayal of Islam in the media.

His Holiness Pope Francis told this body, from the very spot that I’m standing on tonight, that to imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place. When politicians insult Muslims, whether abroad or (who) are our fellow citizens, when a mosque is vandalized, or a kid is called names – that’s not making us safer. That’s not ‘telling it like it is.’ It’s just wrong. It diminishes us in the eyes of the world. It makes it harder to achieve our goals. It betrays who we are as a country.

It would be a cruel irony indeed if ISIS can force families from their homes and then also prevent them from ever finding new ones. We should be doing more to ease this humanitarian crisis, not less. We should lead the international community in organizing a donor conference and supporting countries like Jordan who are sheltering the majority of refugees fleeing Syria.

Intelligent Americans who are shocked and surprised at the rise of Donald Trump, a fascist demagogue who appeals to the basest instincts in fundamentalists and fanatics, should now be able to understand the rise of radical religious terrorist movements in the Middle East as well.

If, in light of the paranoia and fear in America, someone like Trump is gaining popularity, imagine a land a million times worse, plagued with civil war and mass migrations and continual genocide and carpet bombs and drones. Is it surprising that radical, messianic, violent groups will arise and even gain a modicum of popularity?

Stop blaming the religion; blame the political situation that caused such sentiments to go mainstream.

In a society that values the freedom to believe or not believe and to wear what you want, this change in behaviour has been accelerated in the last few months. More and more Muslim women are telling us that this change is primarily due to feelings of insecurity and from repeated comments, statements and assaults against them. Women from a minority group who suffer numerous social, economic and equality challenges are now self-selecting to hide their identity from fellow citizens.

I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world... True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion... We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda... They have alienated many from learning about Islam. True Muslims know or should know that it goes against our religion to try and force Islam on anybody.
