This article was written by a MUIS scholarship recipient. There have been comments on Social Media on it. We highlight En Syed Danials posting: Sigh. So now even if we condemn terrorism its not enough. The one paragraph below alone betrays the hallmarks of one imprisoned within the confines of a colonised mind. Moderate Islam is not linked to only condemnation of the Islamic State. I see a moderate as one who seeks to live universal Islamic values in line with modern-day realities. One cannot be a moderate if one is calling for institutions that are not in sync with contemporary realities. We also highlight a quote from an article written by Dr Yassir Morsi, an academic and expert on Islamophobia from Australia: There is nothing liberating about this demand for Muslims publically to oppose Islamic State by means of some confession of our inner thoughts. It is Islamophobias Trojan horse. It initially comes to us as a gift, an opportunity to set the record straight and allow us to clarify our stance as good citizens ought to do, but in the long term it solidifies our position in the dock. We are asking whether MUIS shares the views offered by this scholarship-holder. There is grounds for concern. In the past, MUIS has sent Asatizahs to hubs of Liberal Islam in Indonesia. MUIS officials have also been sent to Hartford Seminary. We hope our Mufti would respond. m.todayonline/commentary/merely-condemning-terror-does-not-make-muslim-moderate
