We now know inter-Muslim hatred is a problem in Britain, after the death of Asad Shah

"After Asad Shah's 'religiously prejudiced' death, we know inter-Muslim hatred is a problem in Britain”

”Muslims aren't alone in facing problems with sectarianism, but people who demand respect for their beliefs but can’t afford tolerance to others deserve neither"

It has always been a problem and it started with the death threats over a few lines in a book

We failed to take action then and it's only got worse.

Unless we stand up fight this intolerance this will only get worse and the future will not be what we want.

Yes this is true.

This group came to the UK for protection because muslims were killing them in their own country

We have failed as a society to protect these people from those they were fleeing

I think Islam or at least certain interpretations of it and their adherents do a pretty good job in tarnishing the image of Islam in Britain, such as those Muslims who have hatred and intolerance for those not of their sect, culminating in hate incidents against Ahmadi Muslims and death of Asad Shah. Islamophobia is becoming more and more a meaningless word now.

Everything that was written was true, its not an attempt to tarnish Islam, its to raise awareness on what really goes on.

Ahmadis are treated really badly by other denominations. Its just that no one talks about it, its always pinned down.

The number of Ahmadis who are persecuted every day is crazy. That doesn't mean all Sunnis distribute hatred against Ahmadis however you can't ignore the fact that it is Sunnis who go around killing innocent Ahmadis, even Shias!

Excuse me..Can you please explain something below? Do Muslims isolate themselves from others..because of Allah? Now I know why Muslims can't be friends with Christians or Jews.

Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 51:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ
بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
(English - Shakir)

How is it Islamophobic to speak out against intolerance, discrimination and sometimes even violence against Muslim minority groups like Ahmadi Muslims, Shia Muslims, Sufi Muslims, liberal Muslims etc...?
As I said on the other thread, if you can't love, why should you receive it back?

It's a shame that inter-religious problems are just being talked about now, we should've been fighting this problem a long time ago.

Let me make it clear for you because you cannot pick out a verse, misinterpret it and misuse it without knowing the full story and context to it.:smile:

To understand the issue of befriending the Jews, Christians or people of any other faith, we have to study all the concerned verses from the Quran collectively. Let us look at some other verses about this issue. The following two verses regulate relations with any people, regardless of faith: As for such [of the unbelievers] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. (Quran 60:8)
God only forbids you to turn in friendship towards such as fight against you because of [your] faith, and drive you forth from your homelands, or aid [others] in driving you forth: and as for those [from among you] who turn towards them in friendship; it is they, they who are truly wrongdoers! (Quran 60:9)
From the above verses, we learn that we are only discouraged from befriending those who fight Muslims because of their religion. Now let’s go back to the verse immediately after 5:51, to see if it sheds some further light on the issue. And yet you can not see how those in whose hearts there is disease vie with one another for their good will (the hostile Jews and Christians), saying [to themselves], "We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster." But God may well bring about good fortune [for the believers] or any [other] event of His own devising, whereupon those [waverers] will be smitten with remorse for the thoughts which they had secretly harboured within themselves- (Quran 5:52)
During the time of the Prophet when the Jews and Christians were in open conflict with the Muslims, there were some Muslims who were more concerned about maintaining there alliances with the Jews and Christians at the expense of the Muslim community. The above verse is referring to such situations where Muslims with doubts in their hearts will ally themselves with the enemy.Chapter 5 Verse 57 of the Quran makes it clear again, who are not to be taken as friends; O you who believe! take not for friends and protectors those who take your religion for a mockery or sport,- whether among those who received the Scripture before you, or among those who reject Faith; but remain conscious of God, if you are (truly) believers. (Quran 5:57)God teaches us throughout the Quran that there are righteous Jews and Christians. As such there is no prohibition for Muslims to be friends with Jews, Christians or people of any other faith who are of good character.Quranic verses referring to the righteous Jews and Christians:
Of the people of Moses there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth. (Quran 7:159)
And We caused Jesus, the son of Mary, to follow in the footsteps of those (earlier prophets), confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah; and We sent him the Gospel, wherein there was guidance and light, confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah, and as a guidance and admonition unto the God-conscious. (Quran 5:46)
Verily, those who have attained to faith [in this divine writ], as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds-shall have their reward with their Sustainer; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve. (Quran 2:62)
Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous. (Quran 3:113-114)
And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book, those who believe in God, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to God. They will not sell the Signs of God for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and God is swift in account. (Quran 3:199)The following verse from the Quran capsulates this issue:O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Quran 49:13)
Hope that makes sense :smile: ^^

Actually it's been well known for years. Welcome to the party. Glad you finally caught on. What other things have you just caught onto?

Thought it would be worth mentioning that there are some examples of Muslims who are actively trying to combat this sectarianism, and instead trying to promote tolerance and inclusivity. We need more of this:
