The number of anti-Muslim incidents in France has soared since the Islamist attacks in Paris two weeks ago, an organisation that tracks Islamophobia said Monday.

The National Observatory Against Islamophobia said 116 anti-Muslim incidents had been reported to authorities since the January 7-9 shooting spree by three French jihadists that killed 17.

Do Muslims living in Muslim majority countries ever think about how their actions impact Muslims living in the West.

خلاصہ خطبہ

• ہر قوم اپنے مذہب اور ملت ہی کو سیدھا راستہ سمجھتی ہے اور اس میں داخل ہونےکےلئے کہتی ہے ۔
• اسلام کا زریں اصول کہ حضرت ابرھیمؑ کا مذہب ہی ٹھیک ہے۔
• یہ صرف اسلام ہی کی وسعت ہے کہ صرف خود کو نہیں منواتا بلکہ تمام نبیوں اور انکی کتابوں پر ایمان لانے کی تعلیم دیتا ہے ۔
• اسلام کو غالب کرنے والی یہی بات ہے جو یقین دلاتی ہے کہ اسلام آخر کار غالب ہوگا ۔ 
• لکیر کے فقیر جو اپنی ہی بات منواتے ہیں اور دوسروں کی ماننا نہیں چاہتے۔
• اسلام نے عقیدہ کی وسعت کے ساتھ ساتھ یہ بھی بتایا کہ سارا انحصار انسان کے یا قوم کے اعمال پر ہے ۔
• یہی دو باتیں ہیں جو دنیا کو کھا جائیں گی، کوئی مذہب نہیں جو ان دوباتوں میں اسلام کا مقابلہ کر سکے ۔
• حضرت مسیح موعودؑ کی تعلیم یہ ہے کہ ہم تمام راستبازوں کی یکساں عزت کریں ۔
• ہر فرقہ دوسرے کو برا کہتا ہے ۔افراط اور تفریط کے بالمقابل سیدھا راستہ ہمیں حضرت مسیح موعودؑ نے بتایا کہ کسی کو برا نہ کہو اور تمام بزرگانِ  دین کی یکساں عزت کرو۔
• غر ض حضرت مسیح موعودؑ نے تمام آئمہ دین اور راستبازوں کی عظمت ہمیں سکھائی ۔
• ہمارا قصور یہی ہے کہ تیرہ صدیوں کے مجددین کو سب مانتے ہیں اور چودھویں صدی کے مجدد کو بھی ساتھ ہی مانتے ہیں ۔
• مجددین کا سسلسلہ اگر نہیں ٹوٹا تو چودھویں صدی کا مجدد کہاں ہے؟
• حقہ تو خدا کرے کہ بند ہوجائے اور پانی خدا کا دیا ہوا بہت ہے ۔وہ بند نہیں ہوسکتا۔
• حضرت مرزا غلامِ احمد ؒ نے اتباع کتاب وسنت کے سوا کوئی تعلیم نہیں دی ۔
• اسلام کا جوش اگر حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ نے نہیں دیا تو یہ چنگاری کہاں سے آئی ۔
• اگر حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ خدا کی طرف سے ہیں تو تم خدا کے فعل کی تحقیر کرتے ہو۔
• اشاعت اسلام کے کام میں دوسرے مسلمان کیوں ناکام ہوتے ہیں ؟
• مجدد کا آنا صداقت ہے ،مسیح موعودؑ نے بیڑا اٹھایا ہے اسکے متعلق قرآن کا وعدہ ہے لیظھر ہ علی الدین کلہ ۔
• ہم نہ کسی کو برُ ا کہتے ہیں نہ برا سننے چاہتے ہیں ۔
• ہم اس کے قائل نہیں کہ ہمارے سامنے حضرت ابوبکرؓ کو برا کہا جائے تو ہم سن کر جواب نہ دیں ایسا ہی حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ کو برا بھلا کہنے پر ہم خاموش نہیں رہ سکتے ۔ہم اپنا فرض سمجھتے ہیں کہ جو کوئی انکو برا کہے اسکو جواب دینےکےلئے کھڑے ہوجائیں۔
• اگر حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ کا نام کسی مجلس میں آجائے تو سننے والوں کے چہروں پر نشان نظر آنے لگتے ہیں ۔
• اولیاء اللہ کےالہامات کو امت محمدیہ ؐ کےلئے باعث فخر سمجھا جاتا ہے لیکن حضرت مرزا صاحبؒ کے نام کے ساتھ الہام کا ذکر آئے تو اسے برا جانتے ہیں۔
• ولایت سے دوست کا خط کہ اشاعتِ اسلام کےلئے حضرتِ    مرزا صاحبؒ کا نام لینا ضروری ہے اور اسکے بغیر کام چل نہیں سکتا۔
• میرید کے خواب گوارا ہیں تو مرشد کے کیوں نہیں ؟
• حضرت مولانا نورالدینؒ کا ارشاد کہ ولایت میں تبلیغ کسطرح کی جائے۔
• جو ذرائع اصولِ اسلام کے منوانے کےلئے اختیار کرنے پڑتے ہیں ان میں سے ایک اس زمانہ کے مجدد یعنی حضرت مسیح موعودؑ کا وجود بھی ہے کیونکہ حضرت صاحبؒ  کا وجود صداقت اسلامی کی ایک دلیل ہے 
•  خوب یاد رکھو کہ ہم آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے بعد کسی نبی کے آنے کے قائل نہیں ہیں۔
• مامورِ الٰہی یعنی حضرت مسیح موعودؑ کی مخالفت مت کرو ۔جو لوگ حضرت مسیح موعودؑ کو چھوڑتے ہیں وہ کتاب و سنت سے دوری اختیار کرتے ہیں ۔

نوٹ: خلاصہ کی بنیاد ، معمولی ردو بدل کے ساتھ  حتی الوسع حضرت علامہ محمدعلیؒ  کے الفاظ پرہی رکھی گئی ہے۔

A Friday sermon by Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ali (Urdu).

Claystone, however, is no ordinary think-tank. It is a front group for a Salafist network run by Islamic preacher Haitham Al-Haddad. Haddad, frequently reported to be one of Britain's most extreme Islamic preachers, describes Jews as "apes and pigs" and "enemies of God;" quotes the fraudulent Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and speaks of a "conflict" between Muslim and Jews. In 2011, after Osama Bin Laden's death, Haddad wrote an article for Islam21C in which he said that Bin Laden was a "martyr" who would enter paradise. Haddad was also a guest speaker at the Al Manar Centre in Cardiff, where young British jihadists are believed to have been radicalized to fight with ISIS. In addition, several years ago, the "underwear bomber," Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, penned a short autobiography that mentioned his contact with Haddad a few years earlier.

Extremists play the British system for financial gain.
