_ living islam : Islamic tradition _ https://www.livingislam.org/ Anti-Islamic sites, books against Islam There is no debate possible with someone adducing sites filled with mammoth lies such as "Not a single word in the Qur'an and Sunna question slavery" and "Rape is Sunna". http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=16027ED9-FFFE-4E3C-B9B6-30E0F0D980FC http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=2297E37D-87C3-492E-8E5D-1808AF77F703 Amazon.com now has several dozens of books on the same lines. Their endeavor and publications are political or rather propagandistic in the best Goebbelsian tradition, not scholarly in the least. Any serious response must come in the form of a well- crafted counter-series of publications and websites for lawmakers and the general English-speaking public, such as: _The status of rapists in Islam_; _The protection of war-captives and slaves in Islam_; _Islam's anti-war philosophy_ etc. Armed with such, dedicated and articulate spokespeople can hope to stem somewhat the sewage-like torrent of "quality" mediatized Islamophobia reaching such refinements, lately, as Geert Wilders' short YouTube feature. Alas, there is no political will anywhere in sight to support that kind of work but for a handful of private individuals and organisations who, for the most part, do not even work with one another. We belong to Allah Most High and unto Him is our return. gibril 2008-06-22
