Terror & Barbarism in Orlando and Nice
Once
again Islam and Muslims have a suffered another severe setback in our
quest to correct the misconceptions associated with us and our
beliefs.
A
warped mind with an agenda of hate and an insane desire to get even
with the society which he thought was antagonistic to him and his
belief, committed a most heinous and inhuman act of murder and
mayhem. His actions indicated that he wanted to gain some notoriety
and best way to do this would be to mention his link with Insipid
State's Ignorant Society (ISIS).
We
have to be more vigilant than yesterday in demonstrating who we are
and what we believe. We have to be more proactive and vocally
effective in our efforts to propagate and disseminate the truth about
Islam and Muslims. Saying Allah u Akbar, having a beard, dressing
like an Arab or Pakistani, in a gown, walking with beads, wearing a
Hijab, does not make one a Muslim.
The
most important aspect of this quest is to try to correct and change
the rhetoric of the press and media. We have to use all the
resources, influence, press and social media access available to us
to effectively bring about this change, imminently.
We
now have to become more sensitive aware of our surroundings and
communities. Without being paranoid, we have to be vigilant in
becoming aware of the signs, actions, rhetoric and behavior patterns
that can lead to or result in actions that cause harm to us, our
families and communities.
For
those who are here, know that this is America, not Pakistan, Arabia
or the Middle East. America as it is, was founded by immigrants who
came from other lands, seeking a better life. They were Christians
and as such based their principles and laws on Christianity. This
served their purpose well in that they were able to eventually set up
a society base on the rule of a just law, ethics, morality, freedoms
permitting peaceful coexistence and improving lifestyles among its
citizens. It permits those who wish to share such values and living
standards the opportunity of coming here to be part of the society
not to be “apart from society”. You are expected to accept the
norms, laws, ethics, behavior, and standards of the society. Your
customs, practices and traditions are your personal affairs and
should be observed without causing disruption, discord or disharmony
to the society at large. If this is not possible, then you ought to
return to where you will be comfortable and at ease. Do not try to
make America the place from whence you fled. It is madness to try
to create the conditions you chose to leave.
We
have to make it known that there are primitive, demonic, satanic and
barbarous cults whose mission statement is to cause mayhem,
destruction of lives and properties, instill fear and discomfort in
the hearts and minds of those who do not subscribe to their warped
and evil ideology. These evil cults are headed by evil leaders who
has the ability and resources to influence the minds of the fickle
and ignorant. They use their warped and ill intentioned
interpretation of Al Qu'ran, willfully, to misled the ill informed
and those looking for a common enemy.
We
have to get the message out about such groups and individuals who
are committing crimes against humanity. We have to let it be known,
loudly and clearly, that these barbarians are not Muslims and their
religion is not Islam. We have to get the press and media to stop
fighting their barbaric cause, giving them free publicity and instead
letting them know that that their agenda, actions, rhetoric,
teachings are completely contradictory to the teachings and
principles as enunciated in the Holy Qur’an. Their way of life,
their norms and standards are not that of Muslims.
THEY
ARE NOT MUSLIMS, THEIR RELIGION IS NOT ISLAM AND THEIR SCRIPTURE IS
NOT AL QU"RAN.
To
my brother and sister Americans, do not be afraid of the word
“SHURA”. For most certainly, thank God, our Laws and Constitution
are based on “Shura”.
Shura

assembly

4.

Arabic shūrā, literally: consultation]
This
the most important message we have to disseminate to those
non-Muslims who are ignorant of the truth of Islam and Muslims.
The
press, media and social media are the most important and effective
tools to correct the misconceptions about Islam and Muslims.
I
hope and prayer that, sooner than later, we will be able to start
moving in this direction of establishing truth, IA.
