Muslims In Rwanda: Truth is Simple Yet Powerful
SubhanAllah.
Sometimes we get so caught up in defending Islam using all this logic and this and that and the reality is so much more simple. Sheikh Nuh Keller often says (my bad paraphrasing follows) that people go to religion if and when religion works. That is, that it makes their lives better, that is serves a useful purpose.
In Rwanda, the short, simple truth is that Islam is what kept Muslims from participating in the bloody genocide 10+ years ago. Now there are TWICE as many Muslims in Rwanda. People saw that Islam worked.
Check out this audio/video from NY Times. The truth is simple but powerful.
