be picture of simulation and tolerance and co founders of a television network that aspired to improve the image of muslims in a post nine eleven world now as well as a mill or mole hassan faces second degree murder charges those american muslims who have spoken out are once again explaining their fa the horrible acts and they're using the tragedy as a really rallying cry against domestic violence killing and its aftermath raises hard questions for muslims about gender issues about distinctions between cultural and religious practices and about different interpretations of islamic texts regarding the treatment of women muslims don't want to talk about this for good reason said so leon abdul so far a muslim author and activist there is so much negativity about muslims and it's sort of perpetuated the right wing is going to run with it and misuse it but we've got to shine a light on this issue so we can transform it there is evidence of the movement in that direction that ten days after hassan sailing in an open letter to american muslim leaders amman mohamed hog mog ali a sterling virginia vice president of the islamic society of north america said violence against women is real and cannot be ignored he urged that a community leaders never second guess a woman in danger and said women seeking divorces because of physical abuse should not be viewed as bringing shame to their families muslim women's advocates consider this statement significant after the years of indifference in the community which has seen only recent progress for example the opening of shelters for battered muslim women in a few major cities this is a horrible tragedy but it gives us a window seat do you know for editor of the anthology living islam out loud american muslim woman speak the next time a woman comes to her as a mom and says he hit me the reply might not be the patient's this or is there something you did sister is there something you can do the chances are greater th will say this is unacceptable at least nine mosques and a mom's and islamic organizations have agreed to denounce the bastard violence this week at the behest of a coalition of muslims that organized on facebook after i see what you have is a cultural problem our communities have been silent about too long said hot ali a journalist and playwright who helped drive the effort what people with an agenda are trying to do is say that it is an example of preached at friday prayer services about keeping peace in the family and denounced physical and emotional domestic violence i wouldn't say the problem is particular to the muslim community but the immigrant community whether you're a muslim or otherwise and more be misinterpreted good people regardless of faith would never do something like this while sermons like and wars are encouraging other muslim clerics in the u s likely preach that assia hassan could have avoided her fate by being more obedient said ted khan an associate professor of political science and international relations in the university of delaware your mom has to be enlightened enough to recognize this fight it happens to not hide in denial or somehow blame it on american culture said khan author of american muslims bringing faith and freedom in order to essentially condemn violence against a woman they will have to treat women with greater respect unfortunately the level of in light men among the moms in north america very significantly asra nomani a muslim journalist author and activist from morgan's town west virginia challenge muslims who say the murder has no link to islamic teachings well as long does not sanction domestic violence or murder a literal reading of a controversial burgers in the koran taught in some mosque can lead to honor killings and murder she said it's sort of like the typical reaction to terrorism in the community where people want to say this is had nothing to do with islam no mani said well it doesn't have anything to do with your interpretation of the stand teaches you can't kill innocent people but terrorism violence honor killings they're all part of the ideology problems we have in the community we need to eradicate the passage of chapter four first thirty four has been widely translate the verse decided all the time to justify domestic violence just as people in other face cite scriptures to support oppression women said salma beginning in a peaceful family's project to offer training workshops to combat domestic violence and muslim communities people will use whatever they can to justify their behaviors she said it just seems that people outside the muslim faith just tend to buy that rationalization ass true there also have been speculation by the head of the new york chapter of the national organization for women among others the to hassan case involved on a in which a person is slain by a relative who believes the victim has brought shame to the family i see her son was killed six days after her husband was served with divorce papers and a protection order is a native of pakistan a court has said he was not over religious and his lawyer has said neither religion nor culture played a role in what happen marcia freeman director of the international women's rights action watch after the university of minnesota said honor killing is a cultural and not religious phenomenon she said it's practiced in some muslim countries but not others and it's present in nations with people of other religions i wouldn't go running around talking about honor killing
