The time has come that when people ask, “Where are the Muslim voices?†everyone should be able to say “here they are!â€
There is a buzz on social media today about a new Muslim Reform Movement, and any of you are wondering what this is all about. Here is some background: The Paris terrorism attacks seemed to be the last straw for many Muslims like us who abhor violence in the name of our faith. So we decided to do something about radical Islamist extremism growing by the day and threatening the future of our next generations.
A group of reform-minded Muslims gathered in Washington, D.C. for a brainstorming session. While we were there, the San Bernardino terror attacks took place, and we quickly realized that we have reached the tipping point. This made our work even more urgent.
This initiative was started by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, an ex-naval officer of the US Navy and now a physician. He invited thinkers, academics, activists and two imams from Copenhagen, London, Ottawa, Toronto, Phoenix, Philadelphia and Portland to gather for a 24-hour summit.
We discussed and debated what we could do to go beyond words and start taking some action.After intense talks for two days, in which we debated terminology, ideas and theology, we came up with a declaration and a course of action.
On Dec. 4, we jointly presented the declaration at a press conference hosted at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.:

Following the press conference, some of us went to a place founded by the most diabolical country in the world which funds terrorism and is the root of our problems: the Saudi-funded mosque in Washington DC. Here, we posted the first declaration on the door – despite threats and intimidation from the administration.
A few brave men from our group led the way for us as we reclaimed our first space – three women prayed in the main section of the mosque. This is ground breaking not just for all mosques but particularly for this one. We were nearly arrested, but we persevered and left the stamp of the Muslim Reform Movement on their grounds.
The declaration is noted below with names of the signatories. This is a work in progress and our aim is to invite all our friends and neighbors – people of faith and those of no faith – to join our movement, because we can’t do this alone.

Whether the badge she wears on her suit is red or black won't matter to the former Communist, not if it is a matter of saving her neck while retaining her status."
Correct, but under the true face of Islam, she will have no status. And possibly a neck without a head if she complains.
Well, until I see concrete evidence to the contrary, absolutely! We would be far better off today, if we deported all Muslims, as their belief system is completely antithetical to Amreica’s. Muslims are “unhappy” with everything about Western countries so you have to ask yourself why they are here? The answer is very clear, they are here as “missionaries” of the murderous cult that has consumed them for centuries.
You need to read this. Then leave the Muslim “religion” yourself.

Looks as though we have muzzies posting on FR. Taquiya here we come!
Those remarks may seem hostile to you, but they are all the truth!
Thanks for the laugh I needed it after reading all this Islamist garbage being posted today. There’s a special place in Hell for Islam and it’s practitioners.
Therefore, he'd better watch his back. That's why I believe the moderate Muslims (and I've met a few) will never get traction. Conform or die.
