Loving Islam

Original here:

This must be our stance, our language, our work. We must shun the language proffered by Horowitz. We must not give further circulation to his hateful, hate provoking phraseology, we need not repeat the words or otherwise do his advertising and reinforcement for him. It is enough that we choose the week of October 22 as our week of Loving Islam. If this concept isn't self-evident then this wiki is a good place to discuss it further. The Horowitz action is an attempt to pick a fight. If we fight, he and his win.

We must instead love.

We first must each love our God our way. We must each love our faith, our people, ourselves. Then we must love our neighbors as ourselves, however that rule might be expressed in our particular faith. And then, during the week of the Horowitz action, we must visibly, publicly, lovingly love Islam and our Muslim brothers and sisters. We must not fight fire with fire; water works so much better. We must starve this fire of fuel and oxygen and even heat if possible. By loving Islam.
