🕌 Respond with Wisdom

This is an old video from more than a year ago and it's only giving one side of the story, doesn't add up as well, she says they caught two but only arrested them the next day?

Old video try harder Jacinta. If all you can do is post stale one sided videos them your movement is really shaky

There's more to this story than what she is saying

But maybe they were giving her good advice, imagine she started the grocery store and went bankrupt? A different shop would do better

Millions of Muslims and Chinese South Africans go to work, pay taxes, run businesses and help communities every day

South Africa is for all South Africans. If you want to deal with criminals, deal with criminals. Don't target entire groups of people.

South Africa has enough problems already. We don't need to create new ones by turning people against each other.

Some of the biggest donors, employers, doctors, teachers and community workers in South Africa are Muslims and Chinese South Africans. Maybe get to know people before threatening them.

South African Muslims served in the anti-apartheid struggle, built schools, clinics, charities and businesses. Facts matter

Some of South Africa's largest feeding schemes, orphan projects and disaster relief efforts are run by Muslim organisations that help people of all backgrounds.

During COVID, Muslim charities distributed millions of rand worth of food and aid to South Africans regardless of religion or race.

Muslims have been in South Africa for over 350 years, helped fight apartheid, built schools, clinics and charities, and contribute billions to the economy. Threatening people because of their religion says more about the person making the threat than the people being threatened.

Funny how Muslims have been living in South Africa for centuries, building businesses, schools, charities and communities, yet we're still waiting for this grand takeover we're constantly warned about.

If your argument requires taking a verse revealed during wartime, stripping it of all context, and ignoring every verse about justice, mercy and peace, then perhaps the problem isn't the religion but the way you're reading it.

South Africa has had Muslims here since the 1600s. Still waiting for the 'strike' we've been warned about.

Imagine judging Christianity by the KKK, the Crusades, Anders Breivik and every church scandal. That's exactly the logic you're using

An ex-Muslim who quotes anti-Islam websites more than actual Islamic scholarship is about as convincing as an ex-Christian whose entire knowledge comes from atheist memes

When your argument starts with 'all Muslims are secretly the same', you've already left facts behind and entered prejudice

Muslims ruled parts of Spain for nearly 800 years. Christians and Jews kept their churches, synagogues, courts and communities. That doesn't fit the claim that Muslims become violent whenever they gain political power

Interesting that you quote 47:35 but omit Qur'an 8:61: 'If they incline towards peace, then incline towards it also.' Why ignore the verse that explicitly commands peace?

The overwhelming majority of victims of groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda were Muslims. If terrorists represent Islam, why are Muslims their primary victims?

The verse you single out was revealed during an active war when Muslims were under military attack. Reading a wartime verse as a universal command is historically dishonest.

If Islam commands Muslims to attack once they gain power, why did Muslims protect Christian holy sites in Jerusalem for centuries?

South Africa is built on freedom of religion, association, and expression. Organisations like the United Ulama Council of South Africa (UUCSA) exist to represent the interests of a faith community, just as churches, synagogues, temples, cultural groups, and civil society organisations do. Calling for the abolition of lawful religious bodies simply because one disagrees with their faith is contrary to the constitutional values that helped build our democracy. A truly beautiful South Africa is one where diverse communities can coexist respectfully.

Muslims have been part of South Africa for more than 350 years, contributing to education, commerce, healthcare, charity, and the struggle against apartheid. Muslim scholars, organisations, and community bodies have established schools, feeding schemes, orphan care programmes, disaster relief projects, and social welfare initiatives that benefit South Africans of all backgrounds. Before calling for organisations like UUCSA to be ended, perhaps it is worth looking at the positive role that religious organisations have played in strengthening communities across our country

UUCSA is a lawful South African religious body representing part of the Muslim community. Muslims have contributed to South Africa's economy, education, charity work, and anti-apartheid struggle for centuries. Disagree with an organisation if you wish, but calling for the elimination of religious bodies simply because they are Islamic is neither democratic nor reflective of the diverse South Africa we all share.

Funny how organisations feeding the poor, running schools, and supporting communities are seen as the problem.

Interesting. A religious organisation bothers you more than corruption, crime, failing municipalities, and unemployment?
