Islam is a religion of peace, Islam does not tolerate wanton murder. That was the message basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said he wanted Americans to understand about his religion. The outspoken sports star has come under fire by some after writing in Time Magazine earlier this month that the attack in France was not about religion, but about money. Knowing that these terrorist attacks are not about religion, we have to reach a point where we stop bringing Islam into these discussions. I know we arent there yet because much of the Western population doesnt understand the Islamic religion, Abdul-Jabbar wrote. On Sundays Meet the Press, he explained further, Knowledge will enable everybody to understand what exactly were dealing with. He blamed terrorists who do not represent the teachings of Islam for making it impossible for real Muslims to be understood.
