My plea to fellow Muslims
Published: September 18

 

Regarding the Sept. 16 editorial "Winning the Middle East":
As I watched images of burning tires and U.S. flags and heard chants of "Allahu Akbar" on the television screen, I couldn't help but shudder to think that my co-religionists are causing such destruction. Where did they get the notion that any insult to the prophet Muhammad is a license to kill and cause mayhem? Which Koran are they reading that justifies such violence to protect the honor of the very man who was sent as a mercy to mankind?
It is a shame to see the state of the Muslim world today. But no power can change this state unless the people change themselves. I plead to my fellow Muslims: Go back to the true teachings of the Koran and the prophet Muhammad and spend your energy saving and honoring lives and properties, rather than destroying them.
