Muslims Condemn is an interactive website containing list of Muslims who condemn negative things[1] such as terrorism, climate change, discrimination against women, and more.[2] The website was inspired by a 712-page long list with sources, produced by Heraa Hashmi, a 19-year-old American Muslim student.

Origination

Muslims Condemn website was originally a Google spreadsheet containing a 712-page list of Muslims condemning things with sources produced by Heraa Hashmi, a 19-year-old American Muslim student at the University of Colorado.[1] It took three weeks for Hashmi to create the spread sheet after she engaged in a discussion with a classmate asking why Muslims did not "condemn violence when perpetrators committed such acts in the name of Islam."[3][4] She posted the list to Twitter where it was shared 15,000 times within 24 hours.[1] Muslims Condemn was then created based on the spreadsheet by two Nigerian software developers; Ire Aderinokun and Timi Ajiboye that randomly stumbled on her tweet.[5][6]

Content

The website is designed to show that Muslims are constantly condemning terrorism and also to demonstrate how ridiculous it is that Muslims are constantly expected to apologise for terrorist acts. Muslims “held to a different standard than other minorities: 1.6 billion people are expected to apologise and condemn [terrorism] on behalf of a couple of dozen lunatics. It makes no sense,” Hashmi said.[1]
