"Webs of Deceit"

By Michelle Al-Nasr

In the age of computers and the world wide web, many Muslims are now surfing the Internet and sailing through cyberspace. There are many good Islamic web sites ) few of our favorites are listed below)! However, there are some other web sites that we prefer to refer as 'The Webs of Deceit'. These are web sites dedicated to Islam posted by none other than Christian fundamentalists that are posing as Muslims on the Internet! These are the 'Weavers of Webs of Deceit', the deceitful ones writing foul things about Muslim women and posting over the world wide web! Writing books claiming the Quran is contradictory!  Some sites, such as 'Sheik Abdullah's Home Page' even have lessons on  Islam called, "Allahu-Akbar Lessons 1-7"! You can even take the  "Allahu-Akbar  Lesson Quiz" either via the internet or send it in  through the good old United States postal service.  And just to make a  bad situation worse, these weavers of deceitful webs try to get your  e-mail addresses and continually ask for your home addresses! Why, do they want your home address so badly? They want to put you on their mailing list.  In other words, brothers and sisters, they are wanting to give you their own form of 'dawah', in Christian forms of course! This only proves just how important it really is for all Muslims to be aware of these 'Webs of Deceit', whether they are on the Internet, or in a book! It is our obligation to always ask for references on all of the information we are given about Islam, and not to simply follow anything or anyone blindly! Stay alert and watch out, brothers and sisters! Do you know who wrote that Islamic book  you are reading? Check it out! Here are some of our favorite 'Sites to See': 1- www.qss.org  2- www.iananet.org  3- www.wamy.com/home.html  4- cswww2.essex.ac.uk/users/rafiam  And now, our own! (it is under heavy construction, so please bear with us!!) 6- www.startext.net/homes/malnasr
