    Default how to be an imam in the west?

    Salaamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
    I was wondering, is it really possible to be an imam in the west without either getting arrested for being a "terrorist"
    or
    watering down your deen?

    For example, what happened in fort hood, how do we explain this to the kuffar without getting in trouble?
    Either you say you agree with the shootings and you're in trouble, or you say you don't agree and if you agree with the shootings you would be lying.

    How do we face dilemmas like these?

    Just do one of those al maghrib scholarship courses...you'll be certified as an imam in no time
    وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلاَّ حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلاَّ الدَّهْرُ وَمَا لَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ مِنْ عِلْم ٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلاَّ يَظُنُّونَ


    {And they say: "There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us except Ad-Dahr (the time). And they have no knowledge of it, they are only assuming.}-[Al-Jathiyah 45:24]

    It depends on what the specific role, and definition of an Imam is. This differs from place to place. Also depends on the individual too.

    If you're going to point out flaws then do suggest improvements or alternatives if able to do so.

    Imam of the desert. Define before you opine. It's not about what you have done, it's about where you are at now.

    I think what the brother is bothered by is being asked 'hot' questions and how not answering them completely or truthfully may mean compromising his Islam to a degree.

    akhi, of coure it is our problem, his actions are done in the name of islam, obviously as a community leader one would be asked aabout that, either by the kuffar or by the fellow muslims, and definitly by the fellow muslims.
    what i mean is exactly what akh petal said..
