Salam Alaikoam regarding Hamas, Hesbullah and Al Qaeda and other radicals.
Brothers and sisters in this day and age it is time for these groups to lay down their weapons and take up encouraging and supporting Education so each person has a trade or profession from which to provide for ourselves and our families with grace and dignity for all.
In this time it is a time to encourage everyone who is experiencing relationship challenges to get counseling and training in skills such as good communication skills, parenting skills, anger management, good conflict resolution skills, establishing healthy boundaries and skills to cope with stress and frustration.
Also open avenues for consultation of government and community to build excellence in community infra structures such as hospitals, counseling facilities, addictions counseling, and empowerment centers for families and individuals.
By encouraging a peaceful resolution to a challenge it sets a good example for everyone to follow where as violence and ignorance drag everyone down.
If these groups want to see positive changes in themselves, their families, communities and world that way to do it is world arising responsibly and spiritually.
We should sort into education, counseling and consultation groups as spoken of in Surah 99, 1-8 and learn the skills we need to succeed peacefully and gracefully finding our Iman.
We all belong under the umbrella of the Ummah of Islam as the word Islam means to submit to the will of Allah, God, The Creator and each of us is in this process making us all Muslim brothers and sisters first.
As a Muslim first I want to see these groups turn around and start doing good things for the community and world not continually trying to ruin it for everyone.
Mashallah may each soul consider what we can do to make ourselves a better person and our communities safer better places to live.
Salam
