It is the same accusations warmed over. I have spoken and written about this previously, but they keep resending it over and over. The bottom line is that the government - that is the Justice Department and FBI have this warped theory that the "Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that is NOT on the government's terror list, is trying to subvert America and bring sharia law by infiltrating the political system. Further, they say that CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, and I believe MAS were all started by the Muslim Brotherhood and are front organizations for HAMAS. They also describe these activities as "stealth jihad". <br /><br />They used this theory in the HLF case and scared the jury into convicting the defendants. In my opinion, their theory is straight up FOOLISHNESS!!! More propaganda engineered by right-wing fanatics to help prosecute the wars we are in now, and solidify the State of Israel's position in their brutal occupation of Palestine. By using this theory they were able to place all of our major organizations along with some 300 individuals on an un-indicted co-conspirator list and publish this (which is rarely done). Again, in my opinion, this was done purposely in an attempt to weaken the American Muslim community's growing political and social successes.<br /><br />Additionally, they have purchased the help of SOME of our wayward so-called Muslims to testify that such a subversion is definitely taking place. These so-called Muslim sycophants are traveling around the country making these accusations, and in some cases saying the problem is inherent in Islam itself. Therefore, simple things as foot baths (wudu stations) prayer at work, using religious language as most religious communities do, and other Islamic cultural nuances are perceived as signs of extremism, and subversion. <br /><br />Can you believe that this is the "intelligence community"??? If they had any sense whatsoever, all they have to do is ask the questions: "Where is there a Islamically run government or Country?" Only two claim this, Iran and I believe Pakistan (?). Sudan tried it after the peaceful coupe of Gaffer Nemeri in the late seventies, but it arguable if an Islamic State is present in the Sudan today. "Where is sharia truly being practiced??? Most of the countries where Muslims are living are operating mainly under forms of government other than Islam. They are only using aspects of sharia. We are plagued by Totalitarian, despotic, and dictatorial governments.<br /><br />Finally, even though we all know that most Muslims in this country and most Muslim organizations have no intention of establishing sharia or any form of government, BUT SO WHAT if they wanted to? All Americans and all American organizations have the right to lobby for laws and policies they feel are in their best interest and in the best interest of the society at large. Muslims are no different. IF THEY DID, there is no crime in putting their ideas forward in the so-called "free market place of ideas". Those ideas can then be debated, accepted or rejected by the people. This is what makes this country great ... that as citizens of this country, we have the right to express our political, social or religious beliefs. This is not "stealth" ... this is America, and most Muslims have come to this country to be part of it ... not to subdue it.

These guys pretend to be conservative but their values are based on extremism. It should have nothing to do with religion; a bad Muslim is a bad guy and a bad Jew is a bad Jew.<br /><br />The difference between conservatives and Neocons is simple; Conservatives want strong national defense to keep our nation safe, where as the Neocons idea wants the same, but with the mal-intention of threatening other nations. They end up messing others and us both, that has been their record.<br /><br />72% of Americans are against war, they were against Bush war, which was based on lies. No Muslim, No Jew, No Christian or No American should support such wars. We must be ready, each one of us, to defend our nation and not do destroy other. We must be ready any time and all times. <br /><br />Our silence has cost us a financial collapse; ask the families who have lost their jobs due to Bush running up the cost of war with no accountability<br />If you are not aware, there are several Muslims in the Army, Navy and Air force, remember we have limitations how many can serve the army…. Can 301 Million Americans become our Military? <br /><br />We must educate every American who is biased against the other, singling out is a bad idea and, one day every one will be a victim of it. What is good for you has got to be good for others and vice versa, and we have to act, believe and work as one nation under God.<br /><br />The other evil idea that Neocons propagate is that only they are the defenders of the nation, heck what do they know? They don’t even understood the polls and lost big time.Mike Ghousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647894600183489442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462242975774901312.post-35225203851213625342009-06-13T18:19:42.834-06:002009-06-13T18:19:42.834-06:00** Neocon is a racist word made up by liberals to ...** Neocon is a racist word made up by liberals to describe Conservative Jews, who believe in a strong national defence and the support of us allies.<br /><br />If 95% of Muslims are moderate then the ones in the US need to show it. Join the military and help out with Afghanistan. Educate your fellow Muslims there so they see the peaceful way of Islam and deny the Extremist that are killing Americans. The mission in the Mid east has never been about how many enemy we kill but how many Afghans we get to see we are there for their benefit and ours!<br /><br />Sorry For the spelling and bad gramer.Harold Reimannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462242975774901312.post-49724221031685993432009-06-13T15:53:46.467-06:002009-06-13T15:53:46.467-06:00Representative Wolf's whole argument is based ...Representative Wolf's whole argument is based on innuendo, guilt by association, circular reasoning, an exaggeration of the case against Holy Land Foundation and quotes from federal prosecutors and the Justice Department.<br /><br />For a start, readers should check out the issue of the <a href="http://www.ombwatch.org/node/7733" rel="nofollow">"unusually long" list of "unindicted co-conspirators"</a> in the Holy Land Foundation case.Ayman Hossam Fadelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971214697650068561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462242975774901312.post-40304919952461694492009-06-13T15:32:46.155-06:002009-06-13T15:32:46.155-06:00Save a few enlightened Muslims in every community ...Save a few enlightened Muslims in every community everywhere, the rest are uneducated or miseducated about the way of Islam. This is a historical reality regardless of race, language, or geography. A yet another historical reality is the misperception that Arabs are first class Muslims.This is why we prefer Arab or Arab trained imams in our masajid. Practically every version of Arab Islam in recent history relates to the Palestinian issue in one form or another. The leadership in most Arab nations is either reluctant or indifferent to addressing the issue for obvious reasons. This is why Arabs of the region, regardless of where they live, take upon themselves to help fellow Arabs in Palestine. This is admirable if they do so within the guidelines of haqq and with sabr. But uneducated or miseducated Muslims rarely prefer what is good and right, because it does not produce quick or desirable result. Little do they know that humans have the freedom to choose, a right given to them by their Creator, but they cannot guarantee the outcome. This is where the element of sabr comes into play. Muslims find their reward in their striving for what is good and right and not in what the outcome is, as they are not accountable for the outcome. Muslim organizations in western societies generally have the tendency to emulate existing non-Muslim organizations. Little do they know that Muslims organize to get together to do what Muslims ought to do. This is why 'our way' is distinct and different from all other ways. <br /><br />It should not surprise the enlightened Muslims if FBI investigations find CAIR's activities in violation of the law of the land. If CAIR does not agree with the FBI findings, it is free to contest the allegations in the court of law, which exists to arbiter disputes. But before CAIR opts for the rule of law, it has the moral obligation to explain the truth to American Muslims, who have supported its activities with money or effort. May the Final Arbiter, Allah SWT, guide us and help us in treading the way of Islam with haqq and sabr!ansarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052587073454001705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462242975774901312.post-69538939797620383062009-06-13T14:41:07.887-06:002009-06-13T14:41:07.887-06:00It is all a bunch of bull.... this proves the fact...It is all a bunch of bull.... this proves the fact that Islam is not welcome in America unless it is Americanised.... which means it is not Islam any more... so this is a fact that Muslims in America should consider.... if you don't like it, leave to a better place where you can practice your religion without being denied a flight because of a suspicious activity!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
