@ Hamza

Thank you brother Hamza, you are a true brother. And if you got the impression I was talking about all immigrant Muslims then I apologize to you and anyone I have offended.

Attacking the immigrant community is not correct. We are all Muslims… While it is correct that many “Muslim” organizations are in fact fronts for international Muslim movements, most immigrant Arab and Indo-Pak Muslims who attend mosques in this country are just innocents who don’t know anything about Ikhwan or Hizbollah or anyone else. It is important to recognize our differences by race and religion (within the Muslim community there are many different religions)–but while respecting our diversity we can still have mutual respect and goodwill. Just as ikhwan and Hizbollah are wrong–well so too is the revolutionary “Blackamerican” movement. Islam is not about revolution. Islam is a religion, not a political movement. It is service to God Almighty. Politics is not Islam.

all i have to say about this is that if you lay down with dogs you
will get up with flees. and that’s what some of these brother did
they got caught up in things that they should not have been into
anyway. i ask all the Muslims if the prophet Muhammad was here
would he be standing behind anybody waiting to cast his vote?
and it was not always like this the brother’s who blaze the early
path in this county always said that ALLAH gave the Deen to his
prophet p.b.w.h. and made it to be over all the system’s that is
on this earth.but the brothers came over from other part of the
Muslim world and they want so bad to mixs in with this american
way of life and for get what the prophet said

Fortunely, I never have had a history of being used by the the right wing like some of our brother and sisters.Supporting Geroge W.Bush doesn’t call for questioning.Akhee they played some of us and they got nothing in return but jail sentences.How many iftar dinners at the white house and the state department.The brothers that I am affilated would never be so stupid.

Bro.Dawud if some of us BAM have become immigrant loathers as you claim you should ask yourself why?Most BAM have always tried to show brotherhood and sisterhood to to immigrant community.Lets set the record straight we are ones who have been the victims.Some of our Masjids ,schools and institutions run by our brothers from abroad are plagued with racism.Just walking through the door BAM is looked at with disdain or suspicion.I know many BAM muslims who wives and children who rather sit at home then go to the Masjid.
This because of the continue snubbing they receive by others who are supose to be there brothers and sisters.I know for fact there immigrant muslims who wont dare even eat our food as thouigh we all have some incurable diseases.This is fact not fiction my apolgist brother.You yourself know this to be true of expiernces BAM face.When has CAIR or MAS ever spoken about or raised defense money for the dozens of BAM poltical prisoners who have been locked up for over 25 and 30yrs.When will these organzations invite Dhoruba Bin Wahad or a Bilal Abdul Hakeem to speak at one of there events.Bro.Dhrouba spent !9yrs in the peitentiary until his conviction was overturned he was framed by this goverment like many of his comrades.Bro.Bilal is in Patterson,NJ a committed activist.
MAS claims iqaamatideen but believe it wont come about becoming mainstream voting american muslims.Lets not forgot also Mas stole this name for there organzation from W.DMuhammad they won in court more than likely on some technicality or maybe copyright issue.
Know I’m not defintenly a follower of W.D.Muhammad just stating a fact.I know you are doing your job but some of us BAM are free.
from this static thinking we once succumb to we will call like it is as long as it is the truth .The days of immigrant muslim poltical groups and organzations hegemony is coming to a near end.The writing is on all the wall.You can join us or get left behind in the dust..

Bro DawudWalid I in no way support Bush ,Cheney and their criminal gang.Their illegal incarceration of muslims hurts me also, but our silence bothers me just as much.To talk about or even inform muslims about what is happening can lead to a person total islolation
depending on the consciencness level of that particular community.Most of our communties are a poltical or assimilationists or scared to death to resist what has been coming at muslims in North America from
the power structure. My stating factual info.should in no way throw me into the camp of the neo-cons.But the organzations and leaders who supported these crazy neo-cons did an injustice to the Muslims by being so hard headed. Many BAMs tried to inform them that they were making a
mistake. Bush’s record alone as number one in death penalty executions in Texas, where he was governor, should of been enough of a warning .
Bush made Muslim groups promises if they supported him this is what he would offer in exchange. Lets be honest brother, for Muslims this ended up being a smack in the face. BAM opinion and knowledge of the history and political landscape of this country was completely ignored.I can recall many debates with brothers from abroad about this issue of supporting the Bush ,Cheney ticket.Yes the Clinton adminstration had
already started rounding up of Muslims and going after their charties. And before that, he implemented the notorious crime bill aimed at the black community, mainly the youth. One thing led to another, and we must always try to connect the dots.There were few only a few brothers I knew who were able to make the connection, but they were overlooked or ignored as mere conspiracy theorists. No, I dont support what’s happened to Sami Arian, but I am going to state the facts concerning our poltical immaturity in 2000. We make du’a for all our brothers that Allah protect and keep them strong in Iman..

As-Salaamu `Alaykum,

Br. Kwame, you have introduced a classic “Red Herring” allusion by bringing up Al-Arian supporting Bush in 2000 with him being accussed of terrorism.

What in the heck does that have to do with the fact that Al-Arian was acquitted on major terrorism related charges yet is still being detained w/o due process? His support of Bush in 2000 merits him being held illegally?

Even if they were ignorant in supporting Bush and ignored the BAM opinion, that doesn’t mean that we should be unjust. See Surah 5, ayah 8.

Some of us, who claim to be on the Sunnah, have turned into immigrant loathers more than the NOI.

Wassalaam.
