Yeah, whatever.
>>The event’s organizers, Minhaj-ul-Quran International, said prior to the event that some 12,000 Muslims are expected at Wembley Arena. The group’s founder, Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, told journalists that killing innocents is forbidden in Islam and Muslims must integrate into the societies in which they are living.
Those should be praised for speaking out.
“The group’s founder, Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, told journalists that killing innocents is forbidden in Islam and Muslims must integrate into the societies in which they are living.”
Is he in hiding now or just waiting for them to come?
People of muslim descent who don’t follow their religion. That’s good. Should be encouraged.
We must still get them out though. Like anyone who’s been in close proximity to an extremely dangerous virus, they must be in quarantine for an extended period to ensure that the symptoms do not return.
I see the words “moderate” and “muslim”, and am having a difficult time understanding the two words together as a coherent thought.
Moderate muslims.....much like the loch ness monster. Much talked about but never seen.
Jews and Hindus not invited..
Define "innocent".
Good idea. Hope they don’t get overwhelmed by the whackjob element.
Doubts remain.
However if you can take his statements at face value, then he must be a very courageous guy. Certainly he must understand the fate that his co-religionists are planning for him as he speaks...
Probably 10.
Hopefully there will be more Muslims speaking out against terrorism.
Good luck with that. There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. This would be a ploy to help keep the “moderate” Christan and Jew heads in the sand.
If the other than “moderate” Muslims ever get the upper hand the “moderate” Muslims will be no where to be found.

‘Thousands of Muslims have attended a peace conference in London which has condemned terrorism.
About 12,000 Muslims gathered at Wembley Arena for Islamic group Minhaj-ul-Quran’s Peace for Humanity Conference.
The conference launched a campaign to get one million people to sign an online declaration of peace by 2012.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said the conference would send a message that 10 years of extremist activity should end.
‘Love and smiles’
Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri is the founder of Minhaj-ul-Quran and gave the keynote speech at the event, despite having received death threats after issuing a fatwa - or religious ruling - against terrorism last year.
The cleric was repeatedly applauded during his address in which he said the “terrible” 9/11 attacks in the US had distorted perceptions of Islam over the past decade.

You can even see posters of him on the buses travelling through the streets near the stadium.
But his message is a serious one. He preaches that there are no conditions under which extremism and the violence it endorses can be excused.
It’s a message that has found a big audience here at Wembley but one which has ironically made him the subject of death threats from those who don’t believe in peace.
He told the audience: “In spite of statements and memorandum and condemnation of the terror, the voices of the 99% true, peace-loving Muslims have not been heard, they have been drowned out by the clamour and the noise of extremists.
“Islam has nothing to do with any act of terrorism. We reject every act of extremism and terrorism unconditionally.”
The event, which took one year to organise, was attended by people from across the UK, many of whom arrived in coaches.
Those who attended heard a series of lengthy and impassioned speeches, some in Arabic, from Islamic scholars denouncing terrorism and extremism.’
