Presumed Guilty: Why We Shouldn't Ask Muslims to Condemn Terrorism

$1699

We have run out of stock for this item.


All of us should condemn terrorismwhether the perpetrators are Muslim extremists, white supremacists, Marxist revolutionaries, or our own government. But its time for us to stop asking Muslims to condemn terrorism under the assumption they are guilty of harboring terrorist sympathies or promoting violence until they prove otherwise. Renowned expert on Islamophobia Todd Green shows us how this line of questioning is riddled with false assumptions that say much more about "us" than "them." Green offers three compelling reasons why we should stop asking Muslims to condemn terrorism: 
1) The question wrongly assumes Islam is the driving force behind terrorism 
2) The question ignores the many ways Muslims already condemn terrorism. 
3) The question diverts attention from unjust Western violence.This book is an invitation for self-examination when it comes to the questions we ask of Muslims and ourselves about violence. It will open the door to asking better questions of our Muslim neighbors, questions based not on the presumption of guilt but on the promise of friendship.
