				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>&#8220;Muzlems&#8221;</i> again!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These are the thoughts running through most minds in America, Muslims included. Yes, we Muslims were praying for the perpetrators to not be Muslim, but deep in our hearts, we had a suspicion that the chances of the perpetrators being Muslim were pretty high. Most of us are worrying about reactions from non-Muslim Americans who range from impressionable (by bigots), neutral folks to those who want us all out of our country, to those who would rather just pick up their guns and &#8220;get rid&#8221; of us&#8230;thanks to self-promoting fear-mongering bigots like Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Stephen Emerson, Pamela Geller, Bridgette Gabriel and scores of others.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The two Muslim boys/men are from Kyrgyzstan, originally part of Chechens who had been mass-deported there from Chechnya by Stalin.  They had grown up in the US and were quite the normal kids, good students with friends.  So, what happened?  Obviously, we will not find out unless the younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev  (<i>probably derived from &#8216;Jauhar&#8217;&#8230;Jewel</i>) is captured alive and decides to talk, but I can speculate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The following is a generalization and does NOT cover all Muslims or, ALL non-Muslim Americans, but part of the reason is that <span id="more-1013"></span>our Muslim communities locally are almost entirely first-generation Muslims who still identify with the Old country. In itself, that is not so bad, all new immigrants from overseas do this. Our folks have one mental leg still &#8220;Back Home&#8221;, they keep talking about how they will return there and they never quite get comfortable in this new society.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As our children grow up, they are identified more and more as Muslims from the Old Country, our Mosques contribute greatly to this sense of separation from the US, our ONLY country. The Muslim leaders that most of us look up to, our imams, our scholars and even a number of our respected  leaders, keep telling our kids that they are Muslim, as if that were exclusive of being American. Our leaders keep discouraging our children from participating in aspects of this country that I feel are crucial to the integration of Muslims in America; the  children and the men are told that we are in a non-Muslim country and  as such, we may not help this new country by participating in Law-Enforcement agencies, joining the military or working in the political arena.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The sense of disenfranchisement grows, as does the sense of helplessness in affecting any US policies. This is a self-feeding cycle where we get frustrated by what the US is doing to Muslims in this country as well as abroad, but we do not participate in the workings of this country and so, there is nothing we can do about it either&#8230;and the frustration grows.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The cycle also works from the outside; non-Muslim Americans regard us as outsiders are not REALLY American, they treat us as people not to be trusted and every time something bad happens they feel their sense of alienation from Muslims in America is justified and they further bear down on us.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In case some readers are taking this to mean EVERY Muslim in America is like this, they would be wrong; MANY families rear their children as &#8220;normal&#8221; Americans whose children grow up as &#8220;normal&#8221; as the family next door. MANY Muslim families&#8217; children grow up to not feel they are anything but REAL Americans even as they also recognize they have exotic heritage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nevertheless, this cycle of alienation MUST be broken and from BOTH sides of this imaginary but potentially deadly divide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our Mosques have to start thinking they are preaching to Americans who are Muslim, instead of the thought that they are preaching to Muslim who are here almost unwillingly. Our imams MUST start telling Muslim kids and young adults that it is not only okay, it is also urgent, that they join to police, the FBI, the military and the Political fields of America.</p>
<p>Our adult leaders, the members of the boards of Mosques and Muslim community centers must echo this sentiment loudly and often and so must all Muslim leaders and people of influence.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Simultaneously, members of the law-enforcement agencies, members of the various government agencies and our political leaders MUST look to Muslims as Americans and not feed the myth that &#8220;<i>Muzlems</i>&#8221; are the greatest threat to the US and the West&#8230;as is actively being done even as this is being written.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The need for change has to come from all sides and it has to be conveyed urgently within all circles of society. People attempting to separate Muslims from America&#8230;whether they are Muslims themselves or not&#8230;must be rebuked and the message changed immediately. We cannot as Muslims, stand silently as other Muslims seek to tell us we are not Americans and we cannot as Americans stand silently as other Americans attempt to tell us that Muslims are not really trusted Americans.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It has to start now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Well, that didn&#8217;t take long, did it?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Some individual or group detonated two bombs at the end of the Boston Marathon on the 15th of April, killing three and injuring over 175 people. I will give Obama some credit for trying very hard to keep people from looking at the usual suspect&#8230;us Muslims, but how do you keep an entire nation away from the thought that the people they have been told are the very worst examples of humanity&#8230;us Muslims&#8230;are NOT the perpetrators?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>America is on the verge of going on yet another binge of targeting Muslims&#8230;as citizens and as institutions and it has already started.<span id="more-1010"></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Fox &#8220;News&#8221; contributor Erik Rush Tweeted &#8220;<em>Yes, they&#8217;re evil. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2309888/Erik-Rush-Fox-News-guest-jokingly-blames-deadly-Boston-Marathon-bombings-Muslims.html">Let&#8217;s kill them all</a></em>&#8220;&#8230;in jest! he claimed, after some people raised an uproar.  Of course, one does not expect a dedicated, anti-Muslim TV outlet like Fox &#8220;News&#8221; to do much, if anything about this man, but the surprise is the fact that Eric Rush is a BLACK America! It baffles me how someone whose people have suffered such incredible history of oppression and such collective brutality simply because they were different, should be so blind to his past as to target yet another group in the same vicious manner.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Eric&#8217;s problem is that he was the first to exercise his opportunistic bigotry in public. The next day, a Britain-bound United flight was returned to the airport when some all-American, &#8220;<em>Judeo-Christian&#8221;</em> passengers <a href="http://www.boston.com/businessupdates/2013/04/16/two-logan-flights-disrupted-due-security-concerns/upxH1OjOG9bWOAK9R0ZBzI/story.html">demanded the removal of  two Muzlems on the flight </a>caused them to fear for their lives . Since the people targeted were a couple of Muzlems, the airline felt no hesitation in booting them off their flights instead of asking the complaining passengers to get the Hell off the plane. TSA obliged as well, they re-screened the aircraft and probably patted the remaining &#8220;<em>Judeo-Christian&#8221;</em> passengers on their heads and consoled them that the flight was now safe. United probably gave a round of free drinks to celebrate the removal of the deadly, dangerous, &#8220;<em>trrrrsts</em>&#8220;.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our great Pit Bull, the FBI, steeped as it is, in anti-Muslim training, is not an agency to be left behind when it comes to &#8220;<em>Muzlem Hunting</em>&#8220;. The first off the blocks, they found an <em>A-rab Muzlem </em>victim of the bombing in a hospital, started questioning him <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57579766/boston-marathon-bombings-suburban-apartment-searched/">and then searched his apartment</a> . Note that they did NOT search all the homes of the rest of the presumably &#8220;<em>Judeo-Christian&#8221;</em> victims, they just decided, I am sure, that, as they are so fond of saying at such times, &#8220;<em>in an abundance of caution</em>&#8221; to check out the <em>Muzlem</em>. Just to make sure the public feels that the FBI is doing its work, they decided to inform the press that they had checked out a Saudi &#8221;person of interest&#8221;. America is probably satisfied that the feds are on the right track.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What if the perpetrator is not a Muzlem? Nobody will apologize for targeting us Muslims, the airlines have been kicking us off their flight for the past twelve years simply because some paranoid passenger or member of the crew said they are &#8220;uncomfortable&#8221; with the fact that a Muzlem is on their plane. Nobody has EVER criticized any airline for acting with &#8220;an abundance of caution&#8221; because the caution has been aimed at an unrepresented, target minority&#8230;us Muslims. The FBI will still continue to monitor Muslims and our Mosques and they will still continue to ignore the &#8220;good&#8221; Americans. In other words, anti-Muslim persecutions will continue unabated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What if the perpetrator IS a <em>Muzlem</em>? Well then, every single Muslim will be held accountable for the tragedy, Islam will be brought out on trial, the self-proclaimed &#8220;experts&#8221; on Islam, people like Pipes, Spencer, Emerson, Geller and oh, our Great Defender Against &#8220;<em>Trrrrsm</em>&#8221; Chairman of the House Fatherland Security sub-Committee, Rep. Peter King who is an ardent supporter of the IRA, will bring out his hearing panels again, to find out what to do with the millions of Muzlems in America, who are just waiting for the signal from the Collective Control Center, to leap up and attack the &#8220;<em>Judeo-Christian&#8221;</em> Americans and slaughter them all! Individual, REAL Americans will quite probably decide to take matters in their own hands after being fuelled by the above opportunistic &#8220;experts&#8221; and I am sure we will see a few Muslims killed and a few more beaten up. Quite possibly, some poor Hindus and Sikhs will get bashed up as well, because they look so much like us &#8220;<em>trrrrsts</em>&#8220;.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Muslims face a truly no-win future as investigations continue;.</div>
<div>We had better brace up&#8230;</div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align:left;">
<div> </div>
<div>Yup! We got us another one of the usual suspects (see Press Release below) and America is Free once again.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I do wish I could stand behind at least most of the busts the FBI makes on us <em>Muzlem Trrrrsts</em>, but try as I might, I can&#8217;t.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don&#8217;t believe more than three or four of the dozens and dozens of Muslims charged or tried by the FBI, are guilty or, would have been worthy of notice had they been left to themselves. In every case, one or more informant is involved who has been under FBI pressure to find someone to hang or else; Some of them have been given $100,000 or more for &#8220;expenses&#8221; and their only job has been to infiltrate a Mosque congregation, find some disaffected Muslims (I am one of those disaffected ones)<span id="more-1008"></span> who is ticked off at the way our government has launched <em>Operation Git-A-Muzlem</em>. Once such people are found, it is only a matter of time to when the informant homes in on one or two impressionable goofs and amp them up to a point where it becomes a matter of honor and manhood, to take that next step to acquire a weapon that the informant is all-too ready to provide and the FBI gets their man&#8230;again!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The FBI says they don&#8217;t recruit informants, but I know for a fact that they do and they use all kinds of pressure tactics to force their target to become an informant.</div>
<div>The FBI says they only use those people as informants who have committed some crimes because, why not take advantage of a situation to find out more? True enough, but I would sure like to know when such informants were used in continuing operations against local Churches and Synagogues. I am willing to bet two informants to one, that if someone were planted in a Synagogue, we would soon enough be able to push some men over to saying they would very much like to blow up some <em>Muzlems </em>if it helps make Israel safer. Find me a right-wing Church and I&#8217;ll find you some potential <em>trrrrsts</em> there too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The only problem is that planting such informants is likely to be a career-stopper for the poor FBI agent who takes such a step; it is NOT sexy to try and track <em>trrrrsts</em> among the Judeo-Christian Civilization.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The case regarding the Press Release below?</div>
<div>One more instance of a frame-up job where the officer in charge of the informant who got the <em>Trrrrsts</em>, felt he had to erase over four HUNDRED text messages, as did his informant. This is just what we <span style="text-decoration:underline;">know</span>, what about all the other information that was cooked up that we do not know?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When the judge found out about the way this informant was handled he made some statements of reproof, but could not find himself to be outraged enough to dismiss the case, as he should have done.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As Muslims, we should not be surprised at such practices.</div>
<div>Our lawmakers have made it a matter of patriotic duty to attack Islam and Muslims wherever they can, using other fig-leaves, of course. They have passed laws against Islam and Muslims, they have made it easy to imprison forever or even torture Muslims, using the law or, other subterfuges. Our President has been given the authority to kill Muslim US citizens without ever feeling the need to offer evidence, to charge or even set up a sham kangaroo court like they did for the Gitmo prisoners. Our government has made it easier than sneezing, to kill as many non-citizen Muslims as they wish, whenever they wish and wherever they wish.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Why should the legalized lynching of a few <em>Muzlems</em> here or there, elicit even an American yawn?</div>

SEATTLE MAN SENTENCED TO 18 YEARS IN PRISON FOR PLOT TO ATTACK SEATTLE MILITARY PROCESSING CENTER<br />
Plotted to Attack Center When Maximum Number of High School Age Recruits and their Families were Inside</p>
<p>SEATTLE – A Seattle man was sentenced today to 18 years in prison in connection with the June 2011 plot to attack a military installation in Seattle, U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan announced. Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, aka Joseph Anthony Davis, 34, pleaded guilty in December 2012 to conspiracy to murder officers and agents of the United States and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. Abdul-Latif planned to use grenades and machine guns to attack recruits at the Military Entrance Processing Center in a federal office complex in south Seattle. U.S. District Judge James L. Robart imposed ten years of supervised release saying this plot “could have done incredible harm if it had gone forward.”</p>
<p>“This defendant planned to attack a military center when there would be the largest possible gathering of new recruits and their families. He targeted young men and women solely because they wanted to serve our country. His goal: to inspire others with a message of hate,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. “His plot was disrupted by vigilance in our community and good work by law enforcement.</p>
<p>I commend the Seattle Police, and the FBI for their work, and thank the leaders of our Muslim communities who work tirelessly to ensure the acts of extremists are not used to condemn their faith.”</p>
<p>“Countless innocent people targeted by Mr. Abdul-Latif are safe thanks to the vigilance of Seattle’s Muslim community and the dedicated work of law enforcement partners,” said Laura M. Laughlin, Special Agent-in-Charge of the FBI Seattle office. “The plot may have been thwarted, but its mere existence and the extremist thinking behind it are despicable. I hope that Mr. Abdul-Latif uses his years in prison to reflect on what it means to be a true member of an American community, built on respect for all.”</p>
<p>“I am pleased with the outcome of this very important joint agency investigation. With support from the Muslim community and the diligent work of Seattle Police Detectives and our federal partners, a dangerous man will spend a long time behind bars and our community will be safer for it,” said Seattle Police Chief John Diaz.</p>
<p>The other defendant in the case, Walli Mujahidh, 33, of Los Angeles, is scheduled for sentencing on April 8, 2013.<br />
Law enforcement first became aware of the plot when a citizen alerted them that he/she had been approached by Abdul-Latif about participating in the attack and supplying firearms to the conspirators. The person then agreed to work with law enforcement, which began monitoring Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh. Beginning in early June 2011, the conspirators were captured on audio and videotape discussing a violent assault on the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). The MEPS is where each branch of the military screens and processes enlistees.</p>
<p>In addition to housing many civilian and military employees, the building houses a federal daycare center.</p>
<p>In his plea agreement, Abdul-Latif admits that he agreed to carry out the planned attack and that he made plans for Mujahidh to travel to Seattle from Los Angeles to participate in the attack. Mujahidh arrived in Seattle on June 21, 2011. On that same day, during a meeting between Abdul-Latif, Mujahidh, and a person who was working with law enforcement, Abdul-Latif outlined the plan of attacking the MEPS with machine guns and grenades, and took steps to purchase weapons and further the plot. In accordance with the defendants’ plan, the next day the person working with police brought three machine guns to a meeting with Abdul-Latif and Mujahidh. The men were arrested after they took possession of the weapons, which had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement.</p>
<p>Prosecutors noted that a lengthy term was necessary to protect the public, and urged future monitoring by Federal Probation. “Abdul-Latif undertook his plot in furtherance of his long-standing and deeply felt radical beliefs. To this day, he has not disavowed the radical ideology that inspired his attack plot, nor has he expressed any meaningful remorse for his conduct,” prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo.</p>
<p>The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington, with assistance from the Counterterrorism Section of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. The investigation is being conducted by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which has investigators from federal, state and local law enforcement, and the Seattle Police Department.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here it comes, the wide-eyed look of shocked innocence&#8230;why do &#8220;they&#8221; hate us so much? After all we did liberate them from Saddam who was absolutely the worst example of depravity.</p>
<p>Ten years after the invasion of Iraq (let us not dwell on Afghanistan for now), we have nothing but unimaginable destruction, mayhem and slaughter at record scales, to show for what we have done, let&#8217;s see how and what we did there&#8230;</p>
<p>Before the invasion, Iraq was a thriving nation with modern amenities, systems that were more advanced than most countries in the region. Iraq had civil services that ran smoothly&#8230;a Police that kept law and order, transportation, healthcare, education that rivaled the best among most nations.</p>
<p>It was our plan to destroy the infrastructure of the entire nation. &#8220;infrastructure&#8221; means everything that makes things work; destroy power generation, destroy bridges and roads, destroy all manufacturing plants; if it moves, destroy it, if it makes something, destroy it.</p>
<p>Iraq was, as our leaders promised, &#8220;pushed back to the Stone Age&#8221;.</p>
<p>We told our own people, who were desperate to see only the best in America, that we were saving all humanity, that if Saddam were to continue to lead Iraq, he would use his &#8220;Weapons of Mass Destruction&#8221; (WMD) on his neighbors including (<i>gasp</i>!!) ISRAEL and quite possibly, the US itself. <span id="more-1005"></span>We told the nation that anyone who did not support our attempts to &#8220;stop&#8221; this megalomaniac, was unpatriotic, against &#8220;Freedom&#8221; and &#8220;Democracy&#8221; and worse, a supporter of terrorism. Democrats, ever mindful of their re-election and ever cowardly in the face of a so-called, &#8220;pro-defense&#8221; stand by the Republicans and with 9-11 still echoing in their ears, ran for cover, signing on to anything with a &#8220;Patriot&#8221; stamp on it.</p>
<p>Our leaders never talked about the actual <i><span style="text-decoration:underline;">human</span></i> cost, to remove this &#8220;evil&#8221; person.</p>
<p>We invaded Iraq. It was pure slaughter, the Iraqi military was largely a paper tiger, it stood no chance in the face of our military behemoth. Our pilots fired on anything that moved, slaughtering masses of Iraqi soldiers who were clearly running away on foot. We literally, took no prisoners.</p>
<p>In almost no time, Iraq was blown into a rubble of submission and our forces rolled in, along with the &#8220;Coalition of the Willing&#8221;, a hodgepodge of small nations that needed American money and some European nations who could not say &#8220;No&#8221; to Rome. Britain was the only other country that was as anxious to destroy Iraq as the US.</p>
<p>We rolled in and took positions all across Iraq. our soldiers protected the Interior Ministry and the Oil Ministry buildings, leaving the people to loot and destroy anything else they wanted. If you ever wanted to see anarchy from a safe vantage point, that was the time.</p>
<p>Taking incompetency to its lowest levels, the Bush regime appointed L. Paul Bremmer as the viceroy to Iraq. The first thing Paul Bremmer did&#8230;with permission (possibly under orders) from the Bush Administration, was to move towards the &#8220;de-Baathification&#8221; of Iraq, by summarily firing the entire Iraqi military and civil service.</p>
<p>Never in the history of mankind, has a similar irresponsible decision been made.</p>
<p>Historically, conquering forces would absorb the military of the vanquished nation while the leaders would be imprisoned or executed. Even after WWII, when Germany and Japan were occupied, their militaries and civil service under a certain rank, were left untouched (except for those involved in war crimes).</p>
<p>Not in Iraq. Everyone was fired the military was told they were out of a job and that was it. No US leader, military or civilian, seemed to have thought of taking over the garrisons and taking control of the hardware of the Iraqi military before firing them all.</p>
<p>Officers and soldiers took whatever they could lay their hands on and left; Iraq was suddenly swimming in weapons and munitions of all kinds and when the cycle of internecine revenge and retaliation began, there were plenty of means to get the jobs done on massive scales.</p>
<p>It did not take long for Iraqis to look at the occupying soldiers as oppressors instead of liberators. US forces first started attacking Shias along the Iranian border, thinking any Shia is an Iranian ally and Iran is an enemy, therefore, every Shia is a hostile.</p>
<p>In the meantime, the Sunnis regrouped and started attacking US forces because they regarded the occupation as an affront and because so many of them had been financially hurt by being laid off.</p>
<p>Now the US was fighting both Shia and Sunni. The US made friends with Shia leaders and started to attack the Sunni holdouts.</p>
<p>Soon, the US saw that the Shia leadership was getting too strong and was starting to dictate terms of occupation to their occupiers; time to bring the Sunnis in. The US began to arm and group Sunnis.</p>
<p>While these role-changes were taking place, the US was busy attacking any groups they saw as hostile, killing men, women and children without regard, the US attack on Fallujah is probably the worst example of such an attack by the US. In the beginning, the US forces dutifully noted innocent civilian casualties of their attacks, but as these number grew, the military issued orders to not count any civilian casualties. The puppet Iraqi &#8220;government&#8221; echoed the orders and decided to not keep any civilian casualty records either.</p>
<p>According to the Department of Defense in their daily-updated casualty  list (<a href="http://www.defense.gov/news/casualty.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.defense.gov/news/casualty.pdf</a>) for Iraq and neighboring areas as of March 20th 2013, the number of US:</p>
<ul>
<li>US Forces killed                 4,409<i></i></li>
<li>DoD Civilians killed                          13<i></i></li>
<li>US Forces wounded        30,926<i></i></li>
</ul>
<p>Clearly, these numbers do not include the tens of thousands of US soldiers who return home with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), may of whom are still unable to get recognized as injured.</p>
<p>These are the only numbers America appears to be concerned about, OUR losses. The Government propaganda would have us believe that we invaded Iraq in order to rid the world of the worst possible example of humanity (see how well we succeeded?) and to bring the enlightenment of &#8220;Freedom and Democracy&#8221; to the benighted people of Iraq.</p>
<p>Ten years after our invasion of Iraq, as we leave the country in 2014, to its uncertain fate our list of accomplishments there stand as far below Zero, as is imaginable.</p>
<p>True, Saddam is no longer and neither is his support base. Iraq is destroyed&#8230;&#8221;pushed back into the Stone Age&#8221; as promised; no infrastructure, no law or order, no economy. Its education system, the foundation of any nation&#8217;s future is practically non-existent, civil service is worse than it was before the British first took it over after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1922. The military and the Police are a hodge-podge of people cobbled together, without the discipline or training that is required of such services and the nation itself is torn apart along sectarian lines; Shia, Sunni and Kurd with prospects of a united nation of Iraq, more within the realms of fantasy than reality.</p>
<p>The US has spent TRILLIONS of dollars in its pursuit of the great &#8220;War!&#8221; in Iraq, enriching its military industry to legendary standards, but leaving the US buried deep in debt, hemorrhaging more money by the day.</p>
<p>Ten years after our &#8220;liberation&#8221; of Iraq, all we can think of, are our wounded, our dead and our money. We condemn Iraq for not showing sufficient gratitude for the sacrifices we made, to liberate them and those Americans who criticize our adventures in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen and numerous other countries, are dismissed as unpatriotic, terrorist sympathizers.</p>
<p>The losses Iraq has suffered are never mentioned in &#8220;accepted&#8221; circles; the media, the politicians and all those who are today pandering to the great sacrifices of our lionized troops.</p>
<p>Almost a million Iraqis died as a direct result of our sanctions placed on Iraq since 1991, in  a failed attempt to force the removal of Saddam Husain.</p>
<p>It would be most optimistic and conservative, to suggest that the post-invasion Iraqi casualties were anything less than 1-1.5 million; our very patriotic <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500257_162-2165206.html">CBS News parrots an &#8220;official&#8221; count of 150,000 Iraqis dead</a> through February 2009, while the much respected <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2006/oct/11/iraq.iraq">Guardian reports 655,000</a>  while some other sources have the number at a million or more.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500257_162-2165206.html">The Iraqi Health Ministry says</a> about three Iraqis were injured for every dead Iraqi, but we know that the Pentagon reluctantly admits about ten US soldiers wounded for every one death and so, it would not be unusual to count at least ten injured Iraqis for every one dead&#8230;or, about Five MILLION injured and many times more, traumatized Iraqis.</p>
<p>These are the numbers that nobody brings to the table for discussion, the numbers that the US military dismisses as necessary &#8220;collateral losses&#8221;, the numbers America and its political leaders prefer to avoid while focusing on our own 4400 dead.</p>
<p>Nobody mourns the Iraqi &#8220;sacrifices&#8221;, even the Iraqis are too traumatized to feel their own losses.</p>
<p>These are the true costs of getting rid of Saddam Hussain, of bringing the non-existing &#8220;Freedom and Democracy&#8221; to an ungrateful Iraq.</p>
<p>Reluctantly, Iraqis are conceding that terrible as they were, things were not so bad under Saddam. Perhaps some day in the distant future, America will also agree that the invasion of Iraq was a criminal enterprise and all the blood and money that we mourn today, was an utter waste.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Below is the cover letter I sent to the members of the House Congressional Asia Pacific American Caucus, along with an overview of the documents that I included in the CD that went with the letter..</p>
<p>The plan is to get members of congress aware of the hostile climate created against Islam and Muslims with funding from the Federal Government and with luck, they will then start inquiries as to why our government should be so deeply involved in creating and promoting hate against their own citizens.</p>
<p>Muslims should be paying attention to the hate being cultivated against them and should be thinking of collective actions against such hate. tragically, what divides us (sectarianism and apathy) appears to be stronger than what should be bringing us closer (anti-Muslim hate-promotion).<span id="more-1002"></span></p>
<p>Our lack of concerted action today, is what is responsible for killings of hundreds of Muslim men, women and children across the world&#8230;yes, even those killed by sectarian conflicts are due to our lack of collective will on our (US) government).</p>
<p>Our lack of action will also affect our children and their children who, if we are still alive when they think of it, will ask us, &#8220;What did you do to help stop what is going on against Islam and Muslims?&#8221;</p>
<p>Our answers will range from, &#8220;I did not want to get involved&#8221; to, &#8220;I went to the Masjid and prayed God will help us because that is what our imams told us to do&#8221;.</p>
<p>God will be looking on and wondering why we do not pay attention to the words in the Quran, His instructions, one of which says: &#8220;&#8230;<span style="color:#0000ff;"><b><i>Lo! God does not change the condition of a people until they first change that which is in their hearts</i></b></span>&#8230; (13:11)&#8221;.</p>
<p>March 11, 2013</p>
<p>Members of Congressional Asia</p>
<p>Pacific American Caucus</p>
<p>Washington, DC</p>
<p>Dear ladies and gentlemen of the House CAPAC,</p>
<p>Many thanks for allowing me to make a presentation to you on February 27th, about the federally-funded, anti-Muslim, anti-Islam training programs within the FBI, CIA, Police and Military. You asked me to provide you with actual backup information which is now in the enclosed CD. I apologize for the time it took to get this to you, but I felt it would be helpful to provide you with an overview document (in CD) that will help you focus on different aspects of the anti-Muslim trainings; I did not realize how long it would take me to review every document, highlight sections and write brief overviews.</p>
<p>Some departments such as the FBI and the military have declared that they have stopped conducting anti-Muslim trainings. However they have not shared information that would satisfy the public that this is definitively so.</p>
<p>These departments (FBI and the military) have also stated that they will not be undertaking what we would regard as a crucial step towards correction of an egregious wrong; re-training the tens of thousands of already mal-trained officers and agents, that their earlier training was false and the new training is the accurate one.</p>
<p>We are certain that without such remedial training there will be entire cadres of armed officers and agents, regarding every Muslim as a potential threat to the US and as such, subject Muslims to profiling, targeting and persecution. Without remedial training, this anti-Muslim poison will remain in the different forces for well over a generation, causing all sorts of disruptions in the lives of everyday Muslims.</p>
<p>These services also appear to be taking painstaking steps to protect their trainers who have been involved in anti-Muslim, anti-Islam training. None of the trainers have been fired for imparting false and hate-promoting information to their fellow-members, instead, they have been positioned so they don&#8217;t appear to the public eye any more. This does not breed confidence in the sincerity of the FBI or the military, about removing anti-Muslim thinking from their ranks.</p>
<p>You will see in copies of FBI training presentations, that the FBI has extensively redacted names of the people who made many presentations and names of many writers of erroneous and misleading information that serves only to promote anti-Muslim hate. Such redactions make it impossible to discover whether the authors are FBI employees or outside, self-styled &#8220;specialists&#8221; whose pursuit in life, appears to be, to promote anti-Muslim hate. It further, makes it impossible to determine what positive action, if any, the FBI may have taken.</p>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen of the House CAPAC, we are not interested in punishments to the heads of departments, our greatest concerns are:</p>
<ol start="1">
<li>All DHS funding, whether direct or indirect, for training involving anti-Muslim biases, must be ordered stopped and robust checks and balances instituted, that prevent such misuse of DHS funds</li>
<li>Ascertain that the hate-training in the FBI and the military has indeed ceased</li>
<li>That false and misleading information has been permanently removed from all sources to the FBI and the military</li>
<li>That trainers who created and presented such training are fired or, at the very least, never used for any training paid for by any government agency or, attended by its staff.</li>
<li><b>Most importantly</b>, all those members of the various agencies such as FBI, CIA, Police and military, who have undergone such anti-Muslim training, must be re-trained with accurate training that is not geared towards producing hate and suspicion of Muslims.</li>
</ol>
<p>We sincerely hope you will have time to review this information and that you are able to initiate the inquiries that will start the reversal of the massive anti-Muslim hate and suspicion that has already become institutionalized in the FBI, Police, and the military.</p>
<p>If there is any way we can help you with more information or, if we can help interact with any of these agencies to help them get back on track, please consider us at your disposal.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time, your attention and for the support you have extended us.</p>
<p>Yours sincerely,</p>
<p>Jafar H. Siddiqui</p>
<p>American Muslims of Puget Sound</p>

<p>The most dangerous attacks perpetrated or planned within the United States were by people who were NOT Muslims.

<p>This document lists some of the most dangerous ones that unfortunately, have not received the publicity that lesser attacks involving Muslims, have received, thus supporting the false belief that Muslims have been the greatest threat to the US.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The question I pose is, &#8220;<em>Is a paralyzed Muslim a good Muslim</em>?&#8221;. By this, I don&#8217;t mean the person who is physically unable to get about, I mean the Muslim who cannot stand on his or her feet and speak out against injustice, cruelty and in favor of the rights of our fellow Muslims, our fellow human beings. Is a person who is a spectator when evil occurs <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>even when s-he can make a difference</em></span>, a worthy person in the eyes of God?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>God says when we see wrong being committed, we must DO something to stop it. If we cannot do something, we must SPEAK against the wrong. If we cannot even speak against it, we must condemn it in our hearts.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Far too many of our Muslim brothers and sisters interpret this command as permission to remain silent and that is to our collective shame.<span id="more-999"></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>When Bhutto declared the Ahmediyya as &#8220;Kafir&#8221;, we all remained silent and the persecution of the Ahmediyya began.</div>
<div>Encouraged by this, the persecution of the Hindus in Pakistan began in earnest and we gloated because we were taking care of the &#8220;Kuffar&#8221;.</div>
<div>The persecution of the Christians started and we remained silent because after all, they ARE &#8220;Kuffar&#8221; aren&#8217;t they?</div>
<div>Now the focus is narrowing and the Shia are being slaughtered and there are those of us who aren&#8217;t sure that the Shia are not &#8220;Kuffar&#8221;&#8230;</div>
<div>This will be followed by attacks against the Sufis (Oops, it is already underway!).</div>
<div>Don&#8217;t look now, but EVERY Muslim madhab that is not totally a replica of the violent beliefs of the fanatics (&#8220;<em>majazi</em> Shaitan&#8221;) is in line for extermination.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When we die, I cannot believe God will be looking at the prayers, the <em>tarawih</em>, the <em>Thajjud</em> the Zakat and Haj in our name. I believe God will ask us, &#8220;you were silent in the face of massive violence when you could have spoken out; you were silent when you could have done something, why should I give you the consideration that you were unwilling to give to your brothers and sisters?&#8221;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Today is Friday and all local Masajid and Musallahs will be full of the faithful who feel it to be their duty to come and pray congregationally, but almost nobody will feel moved enough to, at the very least, SPEAK against the unchecked slaughters being carried out against the Shia in Pakistan.</div>
<div>Oh yes, there will be the counter-arguments; when will we condemn the violence by Assad and when will we condemn something else and these are all distractionist arguments placed in our hearts by <em>Shaitan (</em>the Devil), because he does not want us to be on the side of Justice and Good.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My brothers and sisters, Pakistan is being ripped apart in our name, in the name of God; Islam is being destroyed in the name of God&#8230;right before our eyes and with encouragement of our silence. No amount of prayers, no amount of Zakat, Haj, Fasting amounts to a hill of beans if we are unwilling to do what GOD commands us to do&#8230;stop evil from spreading. <strong>The Shehada is an empty slogan if we are unwilling to be the Muslims God wants us to be</strong>&#8230;to stop evil and promote brotherhood.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is our silence against the silent inaction of our leaders, a token of respect or a mark of cowardice?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We&#8230;<em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">YOU and I</span></em>&#8230;CAN do something here (wherever you are) that has the potential to galvanize others across the world and THAT has the potential to empower Muslims in Pakistan to stop the evil apprentices of the <em>Shaitan</em>, from continuing with their violent agendas.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Talk to your fellows in the Masjid and then talk with your imams.</div>
<div>TELL the imams to start offering khutbas against the sectarian violence Pakistan (and against violence elsewhere).</div>
<div>TELL the imams to promote brotherhood between Shia and Sunni&#8230;OPENLY and in public in the Khutbah!</div>
<div>TELL the imams to invite Shia imams as visitors to the Mosque (&#8220;<em>the door is open</em>&#8221; is a coward&#8217;s response).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If your imams are unwilling to do this, then you have the wrong imams and <strong>it is time to fire him</strong>, whether you have another one to replace him or not. If your boards oppose this then <strong>it is time to fire the boards</strong>.</div>
<div>We do not need apprentices of the <em>Shaitan </em>to lead us in the practice of our faith; it is time to lead the leaders.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is urgent that we collectively call for a halt to the sectarian violence and openly condemn it. It is urgent that we call from EVERY masjid and Musallah, for joint prayers and gatherings with the Shia (okay, you can lead the prayer if you must) and extend our public hands to each other.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Remember, the largest Muslim population nations today, turned to Islam, not because we went there with swords in hand, but because they saw the examples in us, of the highest form of conduct.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Today, we need to show this conduct to each other as well as to the non-Muslims around us.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I went to Washington DC on the 26th to join a national Border Advocacy Day event on the 27th of February. I went under the auspices of One America who sent a delegation of four people, led by Ada Williams Prince, thanks are due to Arsalan Bukhari of CAIR, who proposed my name for the delegation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the evening of the 26th,<span id="more-991"></span> I went for dinner to the Kabob Palace in Crystal City Arlington, it is a Pakistani Hole-in-the-Wall restaurant where they serve lots of traditional Pakistani barbecued/grilled meats, Skewered lamb, beef, chicken, lamb chops that actually have lots of meat on them and for those who understand, Chapli kabab from the Frontier Province where I was brought up (it now goes under the tortured and clunky name, &#8220;Khyber Pukhtunkhwa Province&#8221;&#8230;KPK). It was a haul getting there, but it was great fun, the place is PACKED, it operates on a 24/7 basis and when the food arrived, I could see why&#8230;.not expensive, very tasty and lots of it!</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/lutheran-ch-of-the-reformation-washington-dc-2-2013-web.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-993" alt="Lutheran Ch of the Reformation Washington DC 2.2013 - Web" src="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/lutheran-ch-of-the-reformation-washington-dc-2-2013-web.jpg?w=300&#038;h=173" width="300" height="173" /></a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The next day, I went to the gathering place, Lutheran Church of the Reformation (across from the Supreme Court) where they had given us the use of their entire basement for the whole day, for this effort. I wish our Mosques<!--more--> had the gumption and the drive to participate like this, they used to, back a thousand years ago, but no longer. Today, our mosques in the US are too concerned about risking their real estate to persecution from the Feds (not an unreasonable fear) to speak about anything more that reflecting how great we Muslims once were. Now, only the mosques in troubled areas get into the business of active involvement and unfortunately, they are getting people active on the wrong side of God&#8217;s commands.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/wa-delegation-washington-dc-2-2013-web.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-994" alt="WA Delegation Washington DC 2.2013 - Web" src="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/wa-delegation-washington-dc-2-2013-web.jpg?w=300&#038;h=181" width="300" height="181" /></a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>We go to know each other a bit with team leaders and general movement leaders telling us again and again, what the message is so we are all on the same page. The message to Congress is that there are many abuses of minorities taking place at the Northern and Southern borders as a result of profiling by the border &#8220;protection&#8221; agencies (ICE, CBP etc.,). These practices need to be curbed in the legislation currently being discussed and written so that minorities and undocumented folk do not live in constant fear of being targeted and persecuted.</div>
<div> </div>
<div align="center"> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Security was unbelievable, I have never seen so many Police, some armed with automatic rifles and a few with spotter scopes on them for long-range shooting. Thankfully, it was a day with broken clouds and sunlight so, standing in line outside buildings was not much of a problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We met with a staffer for Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, we had a brief meeting with Rep. Jaime Harrera Buettler. Our group leader, Maru Mora Villapando gave the main presentation with each and the rest of us said a few words as well. We met with Congresswoman Susan Del Bene, led by our delegation leader, Ada Williams Prince from One America. We also stopped by a few other offices where we did not have appointments, but left information for the Representatives.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We then had a press conference where there were quite a number of speakers talking in support of protections from profiling and documentation for the undocumented, including a judge and a Representative from the Southern Border area. The Executive Director of CAIR Michigan also spoke at the Press conference.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Margaret Huang, Exec. Dir. of the Rights Working Group asked a woman from Michigan and me, to accompany her to attend a weekly meeting of the Congressional Asia Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) and address the representatives who meet there (she had booked a slot). At first, I was reluctant, I told her that the &#8220;Asia&#8221; probably meant East and southeast Asia and I would be standing alone with people wondering what a Pakistani is doing in CAPAC, but Margaret encouraged me and said we need to inform people that Asia is a huge continent and I need to speak for Muslims.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yes, I know, this is when my Muslim brothers and sisters jump in and demand who voted me the representative for Muslims in <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>any</em></span> given area. The fact is that whenever any of us get an opportunity to inform people about who we are and what our collective and individual experiences are, we must do so and we need to speak as Muslims representing the voice of Muslims.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Prasana Vengadam from Michigan, spoke about the experience of South Asians, it turns out that she had spearheaded a report which was to be released yesterday, about the profiling and targeting of South Asians (she agreed to send me a copy).</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>When it was my turn, I said (approximately) the following:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">A Muslim family went to Vancouver BC for the weekend when their 10-12 month old developed 104-105 fever, they cancelled their plans and returned to Seattle. At the border the Agents told them to come inside and sit in a certain corner. the father tried to explain that their child needed medical attention, that they could hold him, but let the mother go with the child, but the agents ordered them to be quite and stay seated.</span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">Six hours later, the family was told they were free to go&#8230;no reason, no explanation; the family was held because they were profiled as Muslims and because the CBP/ICE could do so.</span></em></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">This is not an isolated incident, I can sit here and relate incident after incident, some that I have experienced and some that my friends have endured. The fact is that this is part of a planned and deliberate policy under which the Department of Homeland Security is spending millions of dollars every year, in the training of our Police FBI, CIA, Border agencies and the military, that Islam and Muslims constitute the greatest threat to the US and to the West. The trainers are self-styled &#8220;experts&#8221; on terrorism whose main claim to fame is their ability to spread anti-Muslim sentiments, using false information about Islam and Muslims. We have asked DHS to stop supporting such activities but they say they cannot interfere with local departments once the money is given to them; I wonder if they would have a similar reaction if the money were used for parties instead?</span></em></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">I am not making this up, I have copies of videos of the actual trainings, contents of presentations and other booklets and materials that specifically promote this issue. We have been speaking against this for years, but nobody seems to feel motivated enough to pay attention, probably because they don&#8217;t want to be seen as being &#8220;soft on crime&#8221;. Occasionally, some heads of agencies talk about stopping the practice of anti-Muslim training and indeed, Eric Holder did make such and announcement after which the FBI announced it was stopping all such training. unfortunately, in the past when the FBI tells us they have stopped doing something, we find later, that they did not.</span></em></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">Even if we assume that all agencies actually did stop their anti-Muslim training, the problem still remains that tens of thousands of officers and agents are walking around with anti-Muslim convictions. All these agencies need to go back to their earlier-trained officers and re-train them that the past anti-Muslim messages were wrong and the facts are different.</span></em></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">Unfortunately, there will be no real change unless member of Congress such as yourselves, raise questions and demand that ALL signs of bigotry be removed from our security agencies and that past trainings be corrected.</span></em></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I did not expect the reactions I got.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Different representatives asked for copies of the documentation (I promised to send them), they asked who our state Reps were and if we had brought it to their attention (I listed some and said our messages were not very effective). The discussions and questions lasted another few minutes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>They all agreed that this was serious and they would take action and I need to send the material to them immediately.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>At first, I had thought I would send them some material by e-mail, but as I think about it, I will be sending them a CD with copies of the many documents from the FBI, the military, the Police and other documents.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Pray for our success&#8230;</div>
</div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wonderful news! Today (Feb 16th 2013) we <a href="//www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/16/us-pakistan-violence-shiites-idUSBRE91F02J20130216?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=topNews&amp;rpc=76)">killed 64 Shia in Quetta</a> and last month we killed another hundred Shia in Quetta, this is REAL progress! Jazak Allah to all the Muslim brothers and sisters who have helped us in this holy effort! Our struggle against Kufr and Shirk in the world would not be possible without YOUR help so congratulations are due to you&#8230;ALL of you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You might wonder why we are sharing the glory of killing Shia with you because so many of you, our brothers and sisters in Islam, are living so far away&#8230;as far as America and Europe. Yes, some of you help us directly by<span id="more-982"></span> giving money to our madressas where we teach our children how to identify the Kuffar and we tell them that killing the Kuffar is the greatest help a REAL Muslim can provide for Islam in the path to Allah. This is all in the Quran, where Allah tells us to kill the Unbeliever. We know that Shia are Unbelievers because they revere Hazrat Ali and they pray with their arms by their sides. We know there are Muslim brothers even as far away as the Puget Sound area in America, who agree that Islam requires us to kill the Kuffar wherever we find them. We know these brothers are preaching this in their khutbas and teaching this to every Muslim they find so, thank you for your support in our efforts.</p>
<p><a href="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/the-schoolgirl-is-dead.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-983" alt="Schoolbags and a shoe are seen beside a girl who was killed in a bomb attack in a Shi'ite Muslim area at a hospital in the Pakistani city of Quetta" src="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/the-schoolgirl-is-dead.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>We know you have Islamic schools where you live, please continue to teach them that true Islam is only ONE Islam in which there are no Shia, no Deobani, no nothing, only the pure Selaf. Your children and our children must never lose sight of the fact that these Shia are Kuffar and like all other Kuffar, they must be killed. Actually, these Shia are greater enemies than the Jews and Christians because the Shia are undermining Islam from the inside! Please keep up your efforts and your help to us in the pursuit of true, REAL Islam, we cannot survive without your direct and indirect help.</p>
<p><a href="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/madressa.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-984" alt="Madressa" src="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/madressa.jpg?w=300&#038;h=217" width="300" height="217" /></a></p>
<p>We have successfully launched our jihad against the Kuffar Shia in all major cities and towns in Pakistan, we are killing them in large numbers and individually wherever we can find them&#8230;Parachinar, the Northern Areas, Karachi, Lahore and even in places like Iraq and the Gulf States.. It does not matter if they are men, women or children because in the end, they are all Kuffar. Yes, it is unfortunate that some of our own brothers and sisters are also killed, but that is not intentional and we are sure that Allah will accept them in Heaven.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We need all REAL Muslims to keep doing what you are doing, in order to keep our Jihad against the Kuffar alive. You help us directly every time you remain silent when some Kuffar-loving fool tries to protest against what we are doing to cleanse our land. You help us directly every time you allow your masajid to keep the Kuffar Shia out, every time you make sure our imams are discouraged from meeting with Shia &#8220;imams&#8221;&#8230;every time you create another barrier against the Kuffar Shia, such as not allowing them on your masjid boards, not allowing their unholy bodies to be buried in Muslim cemeteries and not sharing activities with the Kuffar Shia&#8230;even your silence is of great help in our efforts&#8230;You keep doing what you are doing, we will keep doing what we are doing and together we will bring True Islam all over this world, Subhan Allah!</p>
<p>Thank you, Jazak Allah!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago, some people sent out e-mails amongst Muslims, with a link to a WIRED magazine article headed, <a href="http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/02/american-muslim-terrorism">&#8220;Report: U.S. Muslim Terrorism Was Practically Nil in 2012</a>&#8220;. Accompanying comments noted how Muslims were really not violent despite current perceptions. The e-mails did nothing to please me because I saw that the focus was still on us Muslims. To me it should not be a matter of note if Muslims were less violent than expected; a matter of general note should be the state of terrorism or, of violence across the board, without a &#8220;<i>Muzlem</i>&#8221; sub-category&#8230;and no other faith sub-category.</p>
<p><a href="http://penjihad.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/974/">I wrote an article</a> expressing these thoughts and got raked over coals for <span id="more-978"></span>my imaginary headline: &#8220;Blacks are less sub-human and less prone to violence in 2012&#8243;.</p>
<p>It seems that some people lost the message and focused on words of the above headline as if it was my own statement.</p>
<p> One Muslim person insisted that my headline example of Blacks was horribly bigoted and insensitive and I should apologize for it.<br />
Another Muslim person said the wrath of God should rain upon me because I had insulted Blacks and that I was akin to Hitler because of my callous attitude towards Blacks.</p>
<p>There were also a couple of compliments and a note of thanks for speaking out on an important matter , the REAL topic of discussion (how Muslims are treated).</p>
<p>I must admit, I was shocked that any thinking person should misconstrue my words as an insult to Blacks. I had created the headline to illustrate how a condescending, patronizing headline that might appear as &#8220;normal&#8221; to the majority population, is actually a VERY offensive statement that betrays the underlying bigotry of the general environment.</p>
<p>I checked out the <a href="http://tcths.sanford.duke.edu/">Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security </a>(TCTHS) in North Carolina. They appear to be dedicated, sincere people and the thrust of some of their studies tends to show that Muslims are normal, good people. TCTHS appears to be making <a href="http://tcths.sanford.duke.edu/about/news.php">quietly reasonable statements</a> against the growing bigotry against Muslims, as displayed by the Peter King &#8220;Hearings&#8221; against Muslims that was disguised as a hearing on terrorism.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not the point.</p>
<p>Why focus on how nice and peaceful Muslims are? Why not condemn the patronizing positions people and organizations make when they declare how peaceful Muslims really are? Nobody thinks of conducting studies on how Christians are less aggressive now or, how Jews are more supportive of peace now.</p>
<p>Would it not be far more productive to focus on &#8220;terrorism&#8221; as a whole and study why and how it happens? I suppose, then we would need to define &#8220;terrorism&#8221; such that it is not code for Muslims.</p>
<p>Still, getting back to what fired this article, it appears that most Muslims are grateful to be seen as &#8220;less violent&#8221; than the year before (<i>TCTHS conducted a similar study for 2010</i>) when we should be insisting on being treated with the same respect and consideration as any other group.</p>
<p>As long as we Muslims don&#8217;t wake up to the tragic fact that WE are the targets and more importantly, WE have the power to change the perceptions being promoted against us, I am very much afraid that the hostility against Islam and Muslims in the US and in the West, will only continue to grow and worsen. Right now though, Muslims appear to be too scared to want to do anything and too much in a disarray to take the collective initiative that can get us out of our predicament.</p>
<p>Our enemies must be celebrating.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine reports from prestigious institutions that are headed:</p>
<p>&#8220;<span style="color:#0000ff;"><b>Blacks are less sub-human and less prone to mindless violence in 2012</b></span>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Heads would roll all over the country and the outrage would not subside probably for decades.</p>
<p>However, we get a report headed:</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/02/american-muslim-terrorism"><b>American Muslim Terrorism: Declining Further</b></a>&#8220;</p>
<p><i>Yawn&#8230;!</i></p>
<p><b>&#8220;</b><b>And the Triangle study </b><b><i>(below)</i></b><b> tracks </b><span style="color:#0000ff;"><b><i>indictments</i></b></span><b>, not convictions</b><b>.</b> &#8220;</p>
<p>I believe it is important to keep in mind that our &#8220;War!&#8221; against &#8220;<i>trrrrsm</i>&#8221; is aimed at Muslims and has nothing to do with actual violence against a civilian population; if this report showed ZERO accusations of terrorism, the US and the West, would still be on a bender against Muslim &#8220;<i>trrrrsts</i>&#8221; because<span id="more-974"></span> that is where the money and the glory lie.</p>
<p>The report shows a graph of &#8220;decreasing&#8221; acts of terrorism by Muslims in the US and In the West:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-975" alt="Kurzman_EU_US_Terrorism comparison_chart" src="http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/kurzman_eu_us_terrorism-comparison_chart.jpg?w=300&#038;h=171" width="300" height="171" /></p>
<p>If we start to examine HOW DIFFERENTLY &#8220;terrorism&#8221; is defined, depending on the faith of the perpetrator;</p>
<p>if we examine how many of the Muslims indicted and/or convicted on &#8220;terrorism&#8221; charges were nurtured, encouraged, cajoled, browbeaten and motivated to get even to that stage, by the FBI and other authorities and we see how much money and time was spent on &#8220;informants&#8221; whose only role was to create and bag &#8220;trrrrsts&#8221;;</p>
<p>if we check out the number of Muslim acts of violence that are barely sniffed at if a non-Muslim commits them&#8230;</p>
<p>If we then we remove these faked, bogus, &#8220;terrorists&#8221; from these &#8220;statistics&#8217;, we see that &#8220;<i>US Muslim terrorism was practically nil</i>&#8221; since 9-11! We are left wondering just what the Hell does the FBI and other so-called, &#8220;Law Enforcement&#8221; agencies do with all the time and money on their hands except to plan and plot how to maintain their annual budgets?</p>
<p>Take just two examples (<i>&#8220;Muzlem&#8221; vs. &#8220;Judeo-Christian&#8221;</i>) that come to mind right now to compare with some in the chart of examples in the report (give me time and I&#8217;ll flood you with examples):</p>
<ul>
<li>A man (NOT &#8220;<i>Muzlem</i>&#8220;) <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,586581,00.html"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">flies his small plane into the IRS office</span></a>. <i><span style="text-decoration:underline;">HE</span></i> is &#8220;disgruntled&#8221;, &#8220;upset&#8221;, &#8220;irate&#8221; (show a sympathetic picture).</li>
<li>A man (&#8220;<i>Muzlem</i>&#8220;!) <a href="http://news.msn.com/us/man-charged-in-arizona-social-security-explosion"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">detonates a small explosive outside a Social Security Office</span></a> (<i>how many people have felt this way?</i>). <i><span style="text-decoration:underline;">HE</span></i> is a &#8220;<i>Trrrrst</i>&#8220;!</li>
<li>A man (NOT &#8220;<i>Muzlem</i>&#8220;) <a href="http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/police-fbi-investigating-bomb-threat-mosque/nSdMj/"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">threatens bombing on a Muslim center in Lynnwood WA</span></a>. <i><span style="text-decoration:underline;">HE</span></i> is &#8220;harmless&#8221;, &#8220;not all there&#8221;.</li>
<li>A man (&#8220;<i>Muzlem</i>&#8220;!) <a href="http://www.valleycentral.com/news/story.aspx?id=801919"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">threatens to bomb a university</span></a>. <i><span style="text-decoration:underline;">HE</span></i> is a &#8220;<i>Trrrrst</i>&#8220;!<br />
(<i>Search using the following: &#8220;Man threatens to bomb university&#8221; and see how many hits&#8230;no pun&#8230;you get</i>)</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Until we Muslims can be assured of EQUAL justice as well as EQUAL protection under the constitution of this country, we can not and we </b><b>MUST NOT</b><b> take charges of &#8220;<i>Muzlem Trrrsm</i>&#8221; seriously.</b></p>
<p>Anti-&#8221;Terrorism&#8221; is the most lucrative business in the world (certainly in the US) and it drives the largest industry in the US and in the world. That includes our military, our FBI, CIA, Police, our politicians and many others in an unspoken conspiracy to keep the flames going because anti-&#8221;Terrorism&#8221; readiness now funds their very existence.__._,_.___</p>
