few verses addressed to the
Messenger of God (pbuh) that
Muslims are not oppressors:
We know best what they say. You are not a
dictator over them. So remind, with the
Qur'an, whoever fears My Threat. (Qur'an,
50:45)
Say: "Mankind! The truth has come to you
from your Lord. Whoever is guided is only
guided for his own good. Whoever is mis-
guided is only misguided to his detriment.
I have not been set over you as a guardian."
(Qur'an, 10:108)

Muslims are responsible only for
explaining the religious morality, they apply
no pressure or coercion on anyone and are
enjoined to speak gently to even the most
tyrannical deniers. Such persons cannot be
radicals, because radicalism stands for the
opposite of those qualities we have enumer-
ated. Indeed, radicalism is an unIslamic cur-
rent of thought and a political stance that
came into the Islamic world from outside.

When we examine social phenomena
described in terms of radicalism, it will be
seen that these are basically a collection of
methods and pronouncements used by com-
munists, or an expression of the "fanatical
rage" that has no place in true Islam. (Qur'an,
48:26)
