The Internet Journal: News & Views
Archives
Disclaimer
The views represented in the articles in this Internet Journal do not necessarily represent those of The Saracen Sentinel or it's editor. They are the views of various individuals from Muslim and Non-Muslim backrounds who want to write about Islamic themed issues ranging from Breaking News, Opinions, Non-Fiction to Fiction. Various schools of Islamic thought such as Sunni: Shafi'i, Hanafi, Maleki, Hanbali; Shia: Jafari, Zaidi, Ismaili; Sufi (Sunni/Shia) and other's featured in the "Amman Message" will be represented by the articles of the individual writers who come from various backrounds ethnically, nationally, and religiously. We believe in an inclusive Muslim community rather than an exclusive Muslim community that marginalizes people who are of different schools of thought (ie. Twelver Shia, Zaidi, Ismaili, Lahori Ahmadi, Sufi, etc.).
Why the name "Saracen"?
After the rise of Islam (over 1400 Years ago...please note that Muslims believe that Islam has been around since the Prophet Adam and passed on through 124,000 prophets ending with Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. So, there was never a "dark ages" in Islam or the manifestation of God on earth.), and especially at the time of the Crusades, it's usage was extended to refer to all Muslims, including non-Arab Muslims (also Mizrahi Jews and Orthodox Christians). Today we find ourselves yet again under siege as a faith by right wing extremists, so the name is a perfect fit. Also, it helps people remember that this right wing extremism is nothing new, however it has again manifested itself in the form of the Tea Party, Hutaree Militia, Al-Qaeda and other like minded fascist groups that neither represent Muslims or Christians.
