However, those who have used those words use half the sentence to fit their purpose, which, of course, I believe is to discredit me and the new Nation of Islam that has come up around me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All we talk about is 'Islamic terrorism.' If the two words are associated for long enough it's obviously going to have an effect on how people think about Muslims.
'Islamism' itself is such a broad and nearly meaningless word as used by the mainstream Western press, including everything from Turkey's AKP party to al Qaeda.
'Islamist terrorism.' The very phrase is contentious. No one wants to make this problem harder by unfairly branding and alienating a quarter of the world's population, and even in this construction, no one should be thinking this means all of Islam or all Muslims.
My aim is to show that those governments that violate the rights of people by invoking the name of Islam have been misusing Islam.
The enemy is not Islam, the great world faith, but a perversion of Islam.
The word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.
Islam will be what Muslims make of it. And it is the sum total of the interpretation that Muslims give to it.
Islam has been badly used by a certain ideology.
If we cling to the institution of Islam, then we tend to defend it against whatever we see as a danger to it, so because of this we see now that many people are defending states, defending territories, defending everything institutional in the belief that they defend Islam.
For one, the Qur'an is considered by Muslims to consist entirely of words spoken by Allah himself.
