veiled4allah: conspiracy theories running wild veiled4allah: conspiracy theories running wildLastly and most importantly, conspiracy theories have led Muslims to ignore the most fundamental cause of our problems, whilst focusing on the machinations of the Freemasons or the Zionists. Subscribing to many of the contemporary conspiracy theories can breed feelings of helplessness and despondency. We sit, drinking coffee, lamenting, in hushed tones, our powerlessness against a Masonic conspiracy hatched by the Knights Templar in Medieval Europe; a plan now being executed through backmasked Michael Jackson songs and Madonna videos. In doing so, we are distracting ourselves from our own failings as Muslims which have more genuinely contributed to our conditionUnfortunately I have seen Muslims advocating some of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories about Jews and Freemasons that are on about the same level as believing that Elvis was abducted by UFO aliens. I've sometimes wondered if people will come around to thinking that Muslims are too stupid to be evil...

on my webpage, i posted a paragrpah that i found on http://www.themodernreligion.com/letter_to_muslims.htm...
Letter to the All Muslims
Unfortunately, Muslims deserve part of the ill-reputation that plaques Islam. How long can we blame the Westerners OR their media before looking inward? Pay attention to our own people - so many give others reasons to believe Islam is oppressive and unjust. Consider the husband who won't let his beaten wife apply for a passport, the "Islamic Government" that won't let women drive, the "jihad-ers" who attack men with inadequate beards, fathers who circumcise their little girls and the bearded immigrant who thinks blowing up public buildings, killing innocent people - even women and children, is going to prove anything besides their own irresponsibility.
Our Ummah increasingly needs to not only study but apply the Quranic principles of peace, love, forgiveness, brotherhood and rights of women before we "lecture" others; or else WE ARE ALL CULPRITS IN THIS WAR AGAINST ISLAM. Let's not be living examples of horrid misconceptions and lies about Islam - let's be examples that will invite Non-Muslims to learn about the TRUE Islam. The world around us has just ushered in the new Millenium. More than 1400 years have passed since the Holy Prophet Muhammad was sent to set any example for mankind but how very far we have deviated from it.
