Asalaamu alaykum,

While teaching this, consider beginning with a talk on Critical Thinking/Literacy and a discussion on Objective Perspectives versus Subjectivity.  Point out how Allah mentions in the Qur’an “for those who reflect” and “those who understand” and why this allows Muslims to be objective.  Next, consider showing how “Al Ghuraba” is a misunderstood concept for Muslims…mainly because Jihad is not a topic taught very much, or not taught correctly and there are, in fact, no English books on the topic…as a result, people have used eloquent speech to mix their opinions within an Islamic context and this has led many astray…show the short video “Dirty Kuffar” and mentioned that this video has been linked to the July 2005 bombings in London, England.  Another song to show is “Ghuraba” which is the anthem of the Ikhwani Muslimeen – a misguided jihadi group in Egypt whose actions have caused death to innocent civilians.  If you can find the version from Sa’d al Ghamdi, I’ve put his opening preamble on the last slide in the powerpoint slideshow.

Barak Allahu Fikum!
