Jamaat al-Muslimeen International Press Release
From Kaukab Siddique, Ameer
Three Innocent Charities Closed Down
Pakistani Woman, Citizen of U.S., stripsearched
Tenured Professor Fired owing to Guilt by Association
5000 Arab Students being Questioned
Beards of Muslim P.O.W.s Shaved off by Force .......
"DEEN is Nasiha" (Hadith of Prophet Muhammad, PBUH)
By now Americans have become used to such headlines. Whatever
little
pretense the Bush administration had about differentiation between
Islam and
terrorism is melting away. The American power structure sees Islam and
authentic Muslims as a threat and as potential for terrorism.
Look at the charities closed down: Holy Land Foundation, Global
and
Benevolence. One of Global's board members has been picked up owing to
problems with his immigration papers.
These are totally non-politcal charities caring for widows and
orphans
and trying to provide medical help and relief from starvation. Their
closing
down is part of the Zionist doctrine that" "If you get the most
innocent of
them, the whole community will be terrorized."
--------------------------------------------------
Undoubtedly there are Arabs and Pakistanis, citizens of the U.S.,
who
have no illusions about the racist nature of the American power
structure.
These, however, are the exceptions. Most Arabs and Pakistanis have
considered
America a land of milk and honey. They have been extremely comfortable
here
and have often behaved as if they are "white" and as if their interests
and
those of the tiny minority which controls America are the same.
These "white in the mind" Arabs and Pakistanis were on an
assimilative
and integrative spree when the cataclysmic event of 9/11 occurred.
Remember
the bloc vote for Bush and the hard work these groups put in to help
Bush win?
OWING TO LACK OF LEADERSHIP, the Arab and Pakistani communities,
U.S.
citizens, have still not started the process of self re-education. They
pretended that Bush is sincere about his claim that "our war is not
against
Islam." They didn't mind that Bush was bombing the poorest country in
the
world and had started a coalition of all the oppressors of the world's
Muslims.
American Muslims thought they could make their own separate peace.
They
ignored the fact that Bush continued to bomb an Islamic country during
Ramadan, terrorizing millions who were praying and fasting. Arabs and
Pakistanis even welcomed an Eid message from Bush!
It's time to learn that all this prostration in front of the
White
House, all this begging and grovelling is not going to work. Bush and
the
racist segments of America, with the full cooperation of the Zionist
media,
are integrating hatred of Islam into the agenda of the America power
structure. The racism of the power structure and the fear/hatred of
Islam
have coalesced.
ISLAMIC P.O.W.s brought to Guantanamo Bay HAD THEIR BEARDS SHAVED
OFF BY
FORCE. American Muslims are not encouraged to discuss such matters, but
this
was an expression of cultural war against Islam. The beard of a Muslim
male
is part of the Muslim's intention to follow the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
and
to look like him.
Forceful shaving off of the beard is a form of near-rape.
Understand this by comparison: If Islamists were to circumcise American
prisoners by force: i.e. forcefully make them appear to be Muslims,
that
would be the equivalent of shaving off a Muslim's beard.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So dear Arab and Pakistani readers: do not be offended but learn from
the
situation. RE-EDUCATE YOURSELF. For the oppressors, you are "Black",
however
much you might think you are "White." And with it comes your, more or
less,
adherence to Islam (Bush's enemy.)
This oppression is not going to go away: it's going to get worse
because the
Muslim world is fighting back against America. (Ask ordinary people in
any
Muslim country what they think of America after the estimated death of
60,000
Afghans in U.S. bombing.)
I SUGGEST THAT EVERY ARAB and PAKISTANI CITIZEN OF THE U.S. read THE
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X. It will help you to understand what
African-Americans and others already know about the racist power
structure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To racists who might read this message: Don't come forward with that
tired,
old racist idea that if you don't like America, why don't you leave.
Muslims
believe that this land belongs to Allah. It's not the property of white
racists. It belonged to the "Red Indians" and was made into a viable
economy
through 400 years of slavery.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As Muslims, we have to believe that we are here by Allah's decree. We
have to
fulfil Allah's commandment to us, to be WITNESSES TO TRUTH and to
command the
right and oppose the wrong.
