Muslim leaders to hold 'Stand with the Prophet' conference in Texas this weekend
To
combat Islam's poor PR recently, Muslim leaders from across America
will hold a "Stand With the Prophet in Honor and Respect" conference in
Dallas on Saturday. The forum will try to counter what they call
"Islamophobes" in America who have spread hate toward Muslims around the
world.
Get a load of the lineup of speakers.
Washington Free Beacon:
When
"defaming the prophet" can mean just about anything, they're going to
be very busy getting outraged over "Islamophobes" who make jokes about
Mohammed, or put his image on a toilet seat, or perhaps simply speak
about him without the reverence and worship of some Muslims. For any of
those transgressions, you can lose your head.
"Islamophobes" indeed.
They
may condemn ISIS, but what will be said about the Paris terrorist
attacks? Given the tone of the conference, it wouldn't surprise me if
the terrorists weren't excused of their murders and perhaps justify
their actions with weasel words about Islam being a "religion of
peace." It's become SOP for these "good Muslims" to dance around the
terrorist question and not face the fact that many in their midst turn
their outrage at insults to the prophet into murderous intent.

of the event place the blame for Islam’s bad reputation on the media
and so-called American Islamophobes who have “invested at least $160
million dollars to attack our Prophet and Islam,” according to the conference web page.
Keynote
speakers at the event will include Georgetown University professor John
Esposito, founding director of the school’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal
Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, which has come under fire
for, among other things, hosting 9/11 Truthers and a member of Egypt’s Nazi Party.
Also scheduled to attend the forum is controversial New York-based Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who was an “unindicted co-conspirator”
in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings trial. Wahhaj has called the
FBI and CIA the “real terrorists” and expressed a desire for all
Americans to become Muslim, according to the New York Post.
Organizers
of the conference claim that the media and Islamophobes in America are
the main reason why Islam and its prophet have such a bad reputation in
the Western world.
“This
is not an event. It is the beginning of a movement,” organizers write
on their website, which blames Americans for giving Islam a bad name. “A
movement to defend Prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message.”
“All
these accusations were invented by Islamophobes in America,” the group
claims. “As we celebrate the Prophet in our now annual, nationwide
event: Stand with the Prophet, we recommit ourselves to rectify his
image, peace be upon him.”
The event seeks to capitalize on outrage over cartoons and other materials mocking Mohammed in popular culture.
“Frustrated
with Islamophobes defaming the Prophet?” the event materials ask.
“Fuming over extremists like ISIS who give a bad name to Islam? Remember
the Danish cartoons defaming the Prophet? Or the anti-Islam film,
‘Innocence of Muslims’?”
