The Faith Divide

Muslim Civil Rights

Muslims from immigrant backgrounds are finally heeding the advice of their African-American Muslim brethren and getting politically active. Muslim community organizations are holding voter registration drives and citizenship classes. Muslim professionals are organizing political fundraisers and backing presidential candidates.

‘I thought all these people cared about was making more money and sending their kids to the Ivy League,’ my wife mused to me the other day.

It’s amazing how fast fear – in the form of special registration and the rising rhetoric of Islamophobia in this country – will move you.

What we are watching is America at its best: when a community feels marginalized, it finds routes within the American system to enfranchise itself, from civic engagement to political involvement.

And the reason that this America exists is precisely because when other marginalized groups – Jews, Japanese, women, blacks – worked for their own enfranchisement, they also worked for an America where all groups could be enfranchised.

My father went to a dinner of mostly Pakistani-born Muslim activists not long after 9/11 where Rev Jesse Jackson was the guest of honor. The various Muslim speakers from the podium spoke of fighting for civil rights for Muslims. When it was Jesse Jackson’s turn, he stood up and said that there was no such thing as ‘Muslim civil rights’.

‘Civil rights’ are for everybody, he said, and now that Muslims with immigrant backgrounds find themselves subject to special searches at airports and heightened scrutiny from federal law enforcement, and realize they too need the protection of America’s most basic rights, they need to fight for them for everybody.

Here is the question for Muslims as they become a broadly politically active community: are they interested in the American promise only for themselves, or will they seek to expand it for everyone?

Perhaps Muslims should look to the example of one of the people they owe their own freedom in America to - the great civil rights hero Ella Baker, who once told a group of young people: “Remember, we are not fighting for the freedom of the Negro alone, but for the freedom of the human spirit, a larger freedom that encompasses mankind.”

You talk a ton of trash Eboo. In one breath you speak of how caring Muslims are and how moderate Islam really is. What I'm not understanding is why the Koran tells Muslims to force or kill to convert. Why an entire religion feels its okay to strap bombs on themselves and commit suicide while killing the innocent. You say its a small group of men and women with a distorted vision of their religion, kinda like David Koresh and Jim Jones were to Christianity. How do you explain, Palestine, Syria, Gaza, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Phillipines, Thailand, Sudan....shall I continue or will you concede its not a small group, but an entire religion? No? Okie-dokie, How many times has Christian Organizations assaulted foreign embassies and taken people hostage? You see what I'm getting at? Why has the Muslim community turned its back on its own people? Why is their no self-policing amongst the Clerics throughout the world? This religion seems to be structured and organized like a terrorist organization, with cells around the world, ready to lay waste to whatever nation they are leeching upon. In Europe, they are breeding at a rate of 10 fold the birth rate levels of the Middle East countries. Why the high birth rate? Its scary when you out produce the Hispanic population. Something ain't right with this picture. I almost forgot, I'm a bigoted American that hates the Constitution because I hate Muslims. What about a bigoted Muslims who hates Jews? Regardless of the denomination of Islam, why do they all hate Jews and want them to perish from the Earth? Are they not patriots either, or like me a bigot.Last but not least, the war in Iraq has solidified the idea and actions of Zionism throughout the world. Muslims are screwed at this point, good luck in your conquest of the free world ladies, I'll be waiting.

“As it states in the Quran: ‘Oh you who believe, stand up firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even if it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be against rich or poor; for God can best protect both. Do not follow any passion, lest you not be just. And if you distort or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that you do.’” (Quran 4:135)

my question has to do with your accreditations summary. You are on the National Committee of the Aga Khan Foundation? Why would you represent a man who proclaims he is God incarnated to millions of people? Why you take funds or a prestigious title from a man who several million people bow down to, and who has created a prayer for them that includes seeking help from him? Why would you associate yourself with a man who has french diplomatic status (why??), british, and swiss citizenship and a mass of brown people bowing to him?
Why on earth would you have anything to do with someone who's grandfather's commited treason and helped the British Imperialistis powers bring down the Ottoman Empire and the divide Muslim India?
Why would you have the name of a man who gives microcredit to poor individuals and takes interest from them? The Aga Khan's "philanthropy"in Afghanistan: 5 star Serena Hotels so the warlords and foreigner can be comfortable and buying up all the telecommunications towers in the country so he and hence The West controls the countries entire ability to communicate.

"the rising rhetoric of Islamophobia in this country"

Yes Eboo. Islamophobia has given way to:

ISLAMOFAUXBIA- the false claim of victimhood used by American Muslim extremists to obfuscate their acts of sedition/treason.

Nothing wrong with what the doctor said. He called for justice to end terrorism. It seems a lot of guilty folk are afraid of justice.

Well,well. I see that what Islam could not accomplish by force of arms (Moorish Spain, etc.) it is now doing by subtler means. Pretty soon Holland will be the northernmost outpost of the prophet and the indigenous Dutch will be taking off their wooden shoes to pray. And they won't be the only Europeans doing so...and we'll be doing it here too if we don't take the wakeup call.

Reposted From Another Thread:

Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the tragedy of multiculturalism. In America (as in Europe) Islam is using weak bureaucracy and left leaning institutions (like the media and the "politically correct") to slowly but methodically introduce the cult of Islam and their Shari’a law into our societies.

America must learn from Europe. Assimilation there was preordained by a 1970 pact with the Arabs to exchange oil at a favorable price for letting Muslims immigrate in great numbers into Europe, and for Europe to take the Muslim side in international dealings with the Arabs against Israel. They now face Islamization.

Contrary to the "politically correct" popular belief, not all religions are good and not all are equal to other religions. Islam is promoted by some in America as a “religion of peace,” but in reality the Allah that Islam worships believes in killing or making slaves of all non-believers. That makes Islam not a true religion but an ideology which demands the death sentence for any Muslim who departs from it and its rigid demands.

PLEASE NOTE: a Muslim's strict allegiance is not to America but to their ideological group- Islam. There is no choice for true Muslim believers. Although they live among us, they do not hold traditional American ideals.

http://www.thestate.com/news/story/184974.html

http://www.zorkot.org/

Islam is hardly a “religion of peace” – It is more appropriately designated as a “cult of death”. Islamic culture elevates their suicide bombers and mujahadeen to “idol martyr" social status. We all need to pay attention and learn to think independent of the "politically correct". We must assist in the dissemination of these truths and help to counter the plague that is upon us.

ESAM OMEISH RESIGNS:

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine released this statement today in regards to the resignation of Esam Omeish, recent appointee to the Virginia Commission on Immigration.

--I have accepted Dr. Esam Omeish's resignation as one of the 10 gubernatorial appointees to the 20-member Virginia Commission on Immigration. Dr. Omeish is a respected physician and community leader, yet I have been made aware of certain statements he has made which concern me. Dr. Omeish indicated that he did not want this controversy to distract from the important work of the Commission. I intend to name another representative of the Muslim community to the Commission in the near future.

Kaine faced questions about the appointee after a caller to Kaine's regular program on WRVA Richmond asked the governor about the Omeish appointment and online videos that identify Omeish as the speaker.

"Will the Post investigate how this gentleman got himself appointed to the governor's commission? We should know this to reach closure on this story."

"Another Muslim doctor linked to extremist viewpoints. Interesting."

UTube Comment:

"This man should ideally be deported or at the very least watched very carefully for links to terrorism. He's a treasonous rat and should be shunned."

Whare are the equal civil rights for non-Muslims in more than one third of the world called Islamic nations?
In fact where are the non-Muslims in those peace loving Islamic nations including the very tolerant and compassionate birth place of Mohammed called Saudi Arabia?

veritas- your latin name seems to imply a higher level of education-

do you mean fifth column in this sense?

Origin
The term originated with a 1936 radio address by Emilio Mola, a nationalist general during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War. As four of his army columns moved on Madrid, the general referred to his militant supporters within the capital as his "fifth column," intent on undermining the Republican government from within (see Siege of Madrid).

In fact, this supposed "fifth column" did not prove very effective, as evident from the fact that Madrid held out until 1939 despite very heavy fighting. Nevertheless, the term caught on and was used extensively, especially by those fighting the Fascists and Nazis. It was especially in wide use in Britain in the early stages of the Second World War. There, FEAR OF the "fifth Column" was used as JUSTIFICATION for the mass internment on the Isle of Man of German nationals resident in the country, including German JEWS and staunch ANTI-NAZIS who had sought refuge in Britain after the rise of Hitler, as well as in the western portion of Canada and the United States in the evacuation, relocation, and INTERNMENT OF JAPANESE immigrants and naturalized citizens.


Usage
The term is also used in reference to a population who are assumed to have loyalties to countries other than the one in which they reside, or who support some other nation in war efforts against the country they live in, which makes them traitors (see dual loyalty.) During World War II, German minority organizations in Poland and Czechoslovakia formed the Selbstschutz, which actively helped the Third Reich in conquering those nations and engaged in atrocities. After 1945, this was cited as JUSTIFICATION FOR THE WHOLESALE EXPULSION of ethnic Germans from Czechoslovakia, Poland and the Soviet Union, including considerable former German territories annexed to these countries after the war.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

or was it the fifth column joseph mccarthy used to incite fear and paranoia into the american public- turning neighbor against neighbor?

is there anyone who looks at this period of american history with pride, or shame?

are you even aware of the language you are using? or just repeating what you've heardothers say?

so, you're saying that the hatred and paranoia that made the british inter german jews and anti-nazis seeking asylum on the islae of man?

or the maerican governments disgraceful internment of japanese americans during world war II?

or the blacklisting of americans by joseph mccarthy?

you use dangerous and inflammatory words without even knowing what they mean.

history has proven that the hatred that justified the massive injustices done to these peoples in each case was abysmally immoral and wrong.

so you want to start a new campaign of terror aganst a new "other"?

the only people who will agree with this are those who are only motivated by base emotions like fear and anger.

many it seems have learned no lessons from history.

Muslim Civil Rights(whatever it means,because islam rejects *civil rights* 33.36) can not or should not be above US Constitution,Human Rights and Civilized Values.

If you mean *one man can take four women*,you shall forget it.
If you mean *two women equals one man*,you shall forget it.

Quran is against US Constitution.Islam disturbs and devastates *Social Harmony*.
*True Believer Muslim* in USA(Dar ul Harb/Land of War) are *Trojan Horses* and,of course,they must be observed carefully.

USA will not adapt to *desert rules*,on the contrary,desert rules will adapt to USA.
USA will not return,go back to the *stone age*,on the contrary,muslims shall come to the twentyfirst century.This is the *Value of America*

The Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to everyone- those we agree with and those we dont. indeed, people whose opinions are the most controversial are the people whose rights are most often threatened by government oprression or the tyranny of the majority.
when the rights of any person in our society are denied or diminished, EVERY AMERICAN'S rights are imperilled--and our country's promise of freddom remains unfulfilled.

I can only hope that the United States of America remains a country that protects the rights of each of its Citizens and NOT the rights of individual "groups". A community of certain people should never gain rights over common Citizens. America must keep religion OUT of politics and ban it in the workplace and public forum. At work I don't want to know if you are Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist and last but not least a Muslim.
If you as a group of certain persuasion are being targeted by the law then there MUST be a reason. Your group and the laws governing your community are obviously alien to this country. We do not want to ever stone women, or cut off thieves hands for what ever their crime.
Islam is a way of life you tell us; your way of life. Please do not expect me to respect your way of life or tolerate it in public or the workplace. I will eat pork, drink alcohol, carry it in my cab if I want to and refuse to have foot washers in publicly funded universities and schools. It is my civil liberty too that I may travel safely without some traveler uttering Allah-hu-akbar. After all those are the same words uttered when throats of goats and humans are slit by people sharing your faith.

I dislike activits, I hate Muslim activists.

Eboo Eboo What You Thinkin'?

The Islamist Fifth Column In America

We've warned for years that an Islamist underground exists in this country, secretly working to take over the U.S. Now the mainstream media is waking up to the threat.

Yes, theirs is an ambitious plan. But the enemy lurking within is assiduous, patient and well-organized. We are only now starting to see its tentacles, thanks to a landmark federal terror-financing case under way in Dallas.

News about the secret Islamist plot against the U.S. is starting to trickle out from the few media covering the trial against the Holy Land Foundation, the largest Muslim charity in America.

It hasn't made the politically correct evening news yet. But the Associated Press has dared to quote from the chilling courtroom exhibits, and now the Dallas Morning News has weighed in with a lengthy feature story.

"Amid the mountain of evidence released in the trial, the most provocative has turned out to be a handful of previously classified evidence detailing Islamist extremists' ambitious plans for a U.S. takeover," the newspaper said.

"Terrorism researchers say the memos and audiotapes are proof that extremists have long sought to replace the Constitution with Sharia, or Islamic law."

One secret document outlines an anti-American cabal by the major Muslim groups in America — all of which are considered "mainstream" and "moderate" by the media and many pols, but in fact are U.S. franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist movement that gave rise to Hamas and al-Qaida.

The 1991 strategy paper for the Brotherhood, often referred to as the Ikhwan in Arabic, found in the Virginia home of an unindicted co-conspirator in the case, describes the group's long-term goal of destroying the U.S. system "from within" by using its freedoms and political processes against it.

"The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions," it states.

This process, it adds, requires a "mastery of the art of 'coalitions,' the art of 'absorption' and the principles of 'cooperation.' " In other words, deception.

Unindicted co-conspirators in the case include groups that make up the very core of the Muslim establishment in America, groups that have been invited into the halls of power in Washington.

The terror-supporting, anti-American Islamist network in the U.S. that conspires against its host still exists. With the possible exception of the Holy Land Foundation, it has not been dismantled.

These previously classified documents produced in the case are smoking-gun proof that there are traitors in our midst.

We are at war with Islamic terrorists and extremists. Those who sympathize with them must be exposed just as we exposed those American agents who sympathized with the Nazis during WWII.

Other than the religious aspect, there is little difference now vs. then. The First Amendment may protect freedom of religion, but it does not protect sedition. The U.S. government will draw the line there in dealing with Islamism in America.

The flaws in Islam will eat away and finally destroy Islam. American Muslims will then simply become Democrats or Republicans voting for basic innate human rights and probably "their pocketbooks" like the rest of us.
