Islam today means many different things to many different people. Seeing the magnitude and scale of violence plaguing many Muslim societies, a friend of mine had no choice but to ask: �Are Muslims capable of showing any compassion at all?� I find his question highly suspect and problematic. Yet, I do not blame him. Given the media�s representation of Islam, coupled with some Muslims� taste for cheap publicity to gain world attention to their struggles, real or not, I find that an adequate response needs to be given. |
