Good man, Dr. Jasser. Maybe all is not lost for these folks.

[tkathy]

He can't just be against killing Muslims. He has to make it loud and clear, that killing non-Muslims is the SAME in God's eyes, as killing Muslims. Until then, he will be doubted.

Editor:
Last week, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser assured us that we should "make no mistake, Marwan Ahmad does not represent a majority of Muslims in the Valley." ("Ahmad represents Muslim minority," Letters, Jewish News, Sept. 6) But how does Jasser know this? Jasser refers to the silent majority of the Muslim community which "has yet to marshal its public resources."

Except for Jasser, who appears to be waging a very noble but very lonely struggle, they are silent. A majority? Jasser writes about "the fact that scores of Valley Muslims do recognize Israel and associate personally with our Jewish brothers and sisters." Scores? Until we see evidence to the contrary, it is unfortunately, Marwan Ahmad, and not Zuhdi Jasser, who appears to represent the Muslim majority.

One thing I have observed over the last few years:

All muslims instinctively lie to protect muslims and portray themselves as victims. Why would this guy be any different?

[lizma]

very personal faith of Islam

I know it is a personal faith for some but for many it's just being part of a collective mind set. I've been told by some American Muslims there are many mosques in the U.S. they wouldn't set foot in.

AIFD was formed in March of 2003 by a group of Muslim professionals in the Phoenix Valley of Arizona. The group’s founder is M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D.

Dr. Jasser is a former U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander and served in the U.S. Navy as a medical officer from 1988-1999. In 2002, he noted the obvious increasing American attention to Islam and Muslims and their role in the national and international war against Islamo-fascists. As a result of what he felt to be a paucity of Muslim scholarship demonstrating the synergy of American democracy and its founding principles with the religion of Islam, he set out to form AIFD. He felt that many Muslims came to America in fact somewhat similarly to our founding fathers seeking freedom and liberty and escaping religious persecution from so-called "Islamic" lands.

Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser is an American patriot. He is also a Muslim.

He's got his work cut out for him. And knowing his peaceful brethren, the authorities will probably find his decomposing, dismembered corpse in a dumpster soon.

[faithincowboys]

He is an aberration!!

[TADSLOS]

"We proud citizens of the United States of America join together as devoted and patriotic citizens and as devout Muslims in this forum in order to serve as a vehicle for the discussion and public awareness of the complete compatibility of America's founding principles with the very personal faith of Islam which we practice."

Did I miss something? Did the Koran go through a major re-write recently...or was it our largely "ignored" Constitution?

[mtbopfuyn]

Ok, that's one out of how many million? Please post a follow up on how many of like minded Muslims support him tomorrow at the rally.

Judaism

Islam

Christianity

Hinduism

Buddhism

Zarathustrianism

Jainism

Confucianism

Taoism

Only one of these faiths teaches that Heaven is a place where, after a 'righteous' life, you get to have wonton, drunken sex with 72 virgins.

Think about it:  if you knew someone who's stated goal in life was to have sex with 72 virgin girls, how much time would you spend with him?  Exactly how much would he contribute to your intellectual development?  

His entire mindset would be about developing the perfect method for manipulating young women into bed.

Frankly, I'll be perfectly honest here, I'd consider someone like that an asshole who wasn't worthy of my time.

And I'd be correct.

Now, not all Islam is bad: Sufist writing is quite beautiful and insightful.  Nor would I consider all Muslims "bad" -- but let's be truthful: perhaps, even in the worst cancer, there's a few cancer cells that aren't actually doing any damage.  Maybe they're just sitting there while all their brethren do the damage to the body they're destroying.

But they're still cancer cells.  And they aren't helping.

Islam is nothing more and nothing less than a religious cancer.

I'm an agnostic who'd follow a Christian, I'd follow a Jew, I've met a few Buddhists I'd follow and a Taoist or two.

But I've never met a Muslim who I'd trust and follow.  Never.
