Muslims & Conspiracy Theories Conspiracy theories popular as they are, find avid readers amongst many Muslims. Often we find some Muslims only too quick to point fingers at others for all problems. This is particularly true when it comes to Israel and Muslims in general must stop blaming Israel for everything. This is a disease we could do without. 9/11 has been blamed on Israel, the invasion of Iraq has been blamed on Israel, even Pokemon, the video game, has been labelled an “Israeli conspiracy to brainwash our children”!! Allah knows best what the truth is but we Muslims have to learn to argue with proof and not something that cannot be substantiated. If we want to empower the Muslims to defend themselves then it must be done correctly. The climate and system in the UK also needs to be taken into consideration. We will win few supporters if we present political analysis that will marginalise the Muslims. Islam teaches us to ask for evidence, Allah says: “Bring forth your proofs, if you are truthful” [Quran 27:64] Along with asking for proof, we should also ingrain in ourselves the habit of having proof ready if asked to substantiate our comments. So our advice to our fellow Muslims is this: if you cannot prove conclusively a particular point that you want to make then steer clear altogether; otherwise you harm the credibility of Muslims as a whole. Let's not forget that we do not have to resort to presenting conspiracy theories in order to prove our case as there is plenty of conventional evidence already available.
