An Open Letter to Islamic Organizations in America (Needs to be shouted out loud more often!)

Relations ... the very word gives one the positive mindset of working as a team to accomplish established goals. Throughout the past 228 years, Americans have fought through their own differences of opinion to achieve great successes for this nation. What myself, and tens of millions of others, are interested in knowing is your interpretation of the term relation.

Webster's defines it as "an aspect or quality (as resemblance) that connects two or more things or parts as being or belonging or working together."

This column wasn't created to accuse Muslim organizations of having ties to terrorist networks. That issue has already been addressed elsewhere, so there's no need to address it here. The purpose of this particular column is to ask precise questions of Islamic advocacy groups, and obtain precise, honest answers.

It appears that the kindness and generosity of the American people has been sadly mistaken for weakness and ignorance. Thankfully, several Middle East scholars and apostates from Islam have educated us well about true Islam, including verses contained in the Koran, and on the outdated Shari'ah Legal system.

While I certainly don't believe that all Muslims are bad people, I do believe that there is an agenda in the Muslim world to somehow attempt to become masters of the universe. Whether through violence or through manipulation of governments, Islamic radicals are attempting to rule the roost. Since we're labeled Islamophobic, intolerant, ignorant and jingoistic for not swallowing Islamic propaganda, perhaps you can address and answer for all of us the following:

Please explain separately Koran verses 4:34, 4:89, 5:17, 5:51, 8:12, 9:5 and 9:29.

As Americans learn of beheadings, car bombings, rapes, kidnappings and eventual assassinations of innocent men and women being committed by members of the Islamic faith, how would you go about explaining to your fellow Muslims that their behavior is a "hijacking" of Islam?

What would you say to the Janjaweed in Darfur, Sudan, as they hack innocent men, women and children with machetes, rape, loot, and murder innocent Africans?

What explanation could you possibly provide regarding stories like that of a 16-year-old girl Iranian girl, who was charged with committing "acts incompatible with chastity," when, in fact, she was a rape victim? She was not afforded a lawyer and was forced to defend herself. She told the judge that he shouldn't punish the victims, but punish the rapists. She was hanged in public, not for the adultery, but according to the Islamic judge, for "having a sharp tongue."

Since mosques are houses of Islamic worship, is it appropriate to raise funds for terrorist activities inside them?

Islam, the religion of peace, has members that live and work in the United States, living comfortable lives with respectable occupations. With that in mind, is it appropriate for them to be living the American dream while calling for an uprising (intifada) against the United States government?

Why have American citizens had civil suits brought against them for speaking out against the activities of Muslims?

While members of all other faiths are respectful of the uniforms they wear while at work or in the athletic arena, and of American law, why do Muslims expect special accommodations to be made for the wearing of Islamic headscarves, and go as far as filing suit in order to cover their faces in a drivers' license picture?

While I’m aware that constitutional legal barriers haven't been crossed, I'm also aware that Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists are prohibited from promoting their faith in public schools. So, why are Muslim guest speakers gaining entry into American public schools to discuss Islam with our children, when church and state are separate in America?

Since Muslim organizations seem to defend every Muslim that's arrested, claiming profiling, racism, religious bias and unwarranted arrest, are Americans supposed to believe that all Muslims are merely a group of peaceful immigrants, and that every Muslim suspect arrested is completely innocent and simply a target of racism and intolerance, even when they've admitted their crimes?

This issue is of substantial concern. Is it true that a prominent Islamic figure made this statement: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." Was this actually said? You've got to be kidding me. The Koran the highest authority in America? Islam the only accepted religion on Earth? Excuse me while my head stops spinning. I couldn't believe this one.

Welcome to the United States of America. We speak English here. We're a free nation. We work hard, drink beer, take care of our family and friends, and play hard.

Although the religious majority is overwhelmingly Christian, we're tolerant of all races and religions. You’re welcome to practice your faith here, but you can forget about dominating anything.

You can stay, as long as you respect our laws and our citizens. Understand that it's not our responsibility to adapt to your culture. It's your responsibility to adapt to ours. You're in our house, so you follow the house rules.

he preservation of American culture, American borders, the English language and the United States Constitution remain at the forefront of the American Patriot agenda.

Don't make the mistake of underestimating the backbone, the willingness or the means at our disposal to do what's necessary in protecting this to-do list.

Since you seem to be the voice for Muslims in America, please relay this to your following, for the sake of peace.

Since we're labeled Islamophobic, intolerant, ignorant and jingoistic for not swallowing Islamic propaganda, perhaps you can address and answer for all of us the following...

Prophet of Doom - Islam’s Terrorist Dogma, In Muhammad’s Own Words

Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted Bible stories.
Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money.
He was a terrorist.

And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence at www.prophetofdoom.net.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 2006 DIVERSITY IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAM (DV-2006)
The congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is administered on an annual basis by the Department of State and conducted under the terms of Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 131 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-649) amended INA 203 to provide for a new class of immigrants known as "diversity immigrants" (DV immigrants). The Act makes available 50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The instructions for the 2006 Diversity Immigrant Visa Program are also available in PDF Format.

The annual DV program makes permanent residence visas available to persons meeting the simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. Applicants for Diversity Visas are chosen by a computer-generated random lottery drawing. The visas, however, are distributed among six geographic regions with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and with no visas going to citizens of countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the past five years. Within each region, no one country may receive more than seven percent of the available Diversity Visas in any one year.

For DV-2006, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply because they sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the previous five years:

CANADA, CHINA (mainland-born), COLOMBIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, EL SALVADOR, HAITI, INDIA, JAMAICA, MEXICO, PAKISTAN, PHILIPPINES, RUSSIA, SOUTH KOREA, UNITED KINGDOM (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and VIETNAM. Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible.

LIST OF COUNTRIES BY REGION WHOSE NATIVES QUALIFY
