Here is the transcript of the video resulted in Pistache l'insoumise. We also invite you to fly over the excellent blog Pistache.
The Islamic reformers are often targeted as qu'apostats (people who left Islam) by jihadists.
Farzana Hassan Shahid, the new president of the Muslim Canadian Congress (MCC), is the latest victim of this phenomenon.
After his liberal views on many issues islamicly "hot" have begun to be known, she began to receive threats from Muslim supporters of strong-arm tactics, which saw its positions signs of his desertion of Islam. One of them called "the little sister of Satan", while another accosta her husband in a mosque in Ontario and demanded that he "control his wife."
Farzana Hassan Shahid explained itself, there is a latent fear all the time… this sense of unease is part of my daily life. I have been declared apostate twice, having opposed the Shariah (Islamic law).
Hassan Shahid is not the first representative of the MCC to be covered by the Jihadists. Until recently, Tarek Fatah was the communications director of MCC .. But in August he abruptly démissiona.
Fatah had long been a leading voice parte Muslims in Canada. And as communications director of the CMC, he never avoided controversy, adhering to certain views about the rights of homosexuals and other issues that deviate from Islamic orthodoxy. Opposing views that Hassan Shahid has now occasions.
Fatah had even opposed the campaign in 2005 to introduce the Canada room arbitration based on Sharia. But instead of receiving congratulations from the Canadian Muslim community, Fatah became the target of an email campaign initiated by a group of étudians, the Islamic Canadian Congress. The ICC said that Fatah does not represent the majority of Canadian Muslims.
Fatah commented, "this is what the issue may have closer to a death threat, since this class me as an apostate and blasphemer." And Fatah, like Farzana Hassan Shahid, has received death threats very clear.
The voices of moderation or reform within the Islamic community are clearly disadvantageous position, because the Jihadists can very effectively use the Quran and Sunnah against them. In addition, all schools of law of Islam explain a MUST apostate be killed, a command rooted in the teachings of Muhammad, who said:
"If somebody (a Muslim) abandons his religion, kill it. "
Thus, threatening to kill someone can become an act of piety.
It is ironic that Western non-Muslims observers, who know nothing or very little of Islam, presume that the voices or liberal reformers are predominant in the Islamic communities of the West and by the way, whereas the reality is that people like Farzana Hassan Shahid and Tarek Fatah had very little influence among Muslims, and over all, they are hunted people.
The Muslim reformers deserve all the support we can give them, but we should stop deluding us into thinking that they are a majority.
And most importantly, government representatives and the law should stop designing policies based on the assumption that people like Farzana Hassan Shahid and Tarek Fatah are really the majority.
