Naim Baig, Convention Organizer
Islamic Circle of North America
(ICNA)
icna@aol.com
Dear Naim Baig sahib
asalamu alaikum
I visited the ICNA convention in
Phildelphia on July 4 and 5.
I was of view that ICNA must have matured under
the impact of
post-9.11
situation in
America.
I am sorry to say that your organization is
deteriorating rather than
improving. I don't want to hurt your feelings by
commenting on the overall
Convention but one point must be mentioned
because it concerns the entire Muslim
community.
I noticed that the only drink being offered
at the Convention was Coca
Cola. This raises some questions:
1. Do you know that Coca Cola supports
Israel?
2. Is it possible that in your entire group there
is not one person who is
aware that Coca Cola supports Israel?
3. Is it possible that you are not aware that
Coca Cola is at the top of the
list in the worldwide
boycott
of businesses
supporting Israel? [There is
hardly any politically aware group which is not
boycotting Coca Cola.]
4. Is it possible that you don't know Coca Cola's
nutritional value which is
zero.
5. Is it possible that you are unaware of
alternatives to Coca Cola, some of
them produced by Muslims?
So Mr. Baig, you made your choice. You
selected Coca Cola as the drink of
choice at your Convention attended by nearly
2,000 innocent Muslims.
The question arises, are you a supporter of
Israel? Is your organization
a supporter of Israel?
I hope the answer is: No!
In that case, try to make up for your blunder
by taking the vow not to
support Coca Cola ever again in your Conventions.
In case you confess that you really are
ignorant of what's going in in
the worldwide boycott of businesses supporting
Israel, I can send you
documentation of Coca Cola's support for Israel.
Sincerely
Kaukab Siddique
