Peaceful Muslims must help root out evil ones

Dear Shaykh Umara aL-Qadri, we hear your condemnation of the terrorists and your plea to us to not blame all Muslims. 

But please explain to us what exactly the great peaceful Muslim majority are doing to bring down and root out the terrorists among your ranks.

Where are your armies working, how are they working, how long have they been working?

Can we help them, the peaceful, well-meaning Muslims, to win against these infidels among you?

What Muslim charities are there that support safety for women and aid for refugees?

Can we help them to undermine the radicals and their radical ideology? Please tell us what you are doing to fight those who are/have so tarnished the name of Islam.

It is very fine that the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation condemns these terrorist attacks but what are you doing about it?

Standing up, I would say, is hardly enough and leaving it to the rest of us only isolates Muslims more.

Where are the army and the charity of the true faith?
