Racism is Haaram, Even in Paris

I am very deeply distressed over an article in Haaretz, of what apparently is two Arab youth’s attacking Jewish people in Paris.

Firstly, Islam does not teach this type of racist behavior, but to the contrary and to further explain, any Muslim doing this type of behavior will go to Hell and never taste the sweet water’s of Paradise.

One thing I do find a sad state is, there is a number of Muslims that are so in name only and think they can live as they please, I will assure them that Allah most assuredly does turn His back on people doing any kind of Haaram (sin) and the worse was one case of murder in Paris.

If these people’s excuse or anyone that it had to do with the war in Palestine, that is no excuse for this type of behavior. There is vastly a great difference in what happens in a time of war and blatant criminal activity; this even includes the graffiti that was found on and Israeli plane in Italy.

We as Muslims, are suppose to live for love and peace, this is a foundation of Islam and doing anything that is not accepted by the Quran, is just that a shame, to not only Allah, but the whole Islamic world.

Furthermore, have we as Muslim’s forgotten that Muhammad (PBUH) had friends that where Jewish, even to go so far as attend a Jewish funeral?

Inshaallah, this type of behavior stops and we as Muslims live the life that Allah intended for us.

For we are the one people, that for centuries bettered societies, not do the contrary.
