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and apostates from Islam have educated us well about true Islam, including verses contained in the Koran, and on the outdated Shari'ah Legal system.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."

Why are Islamic clerics preaching hate for the West, and condoning terrorism?

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?
(www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=12898, www.religioustolerance.org/news_03dec.htm)
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 Im 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?
(www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=16094)
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. Youre 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.

"The baby's must be a US Citizen, because they are born here"
That's according to the current law. Think outside the box, change the law. Put pressure on your senator/representative. The election is not the goal but a tool. Looks like you elect someone you want and relax. You elect that person to implement your will. Use your system to full advantage. Why they have learned how to use the system against you. It was not designed for being abused, it was designed to be used to benefit the American people.
Well, I have found that it doesn't always work that way. Most politicians will promise you the moon to get your vote, then once in office, they get with the others and do it the way they want anyhow. To hell with their constituents. :(
But Trojan Horse sounds more kind than the more truthful "TRAITOR!"
Keep up the good work, my friend.
Excellent idea.
You're a great American, my friend!
But it is clear, these epople are out to dominate us...our beautiful country, our children, and our grandchildren.....It is a horrific "religion" of death.

Physical proof of trust and sincerity are necessary for any dialog of peace between Muslims and Americans. Because the Koran and Hadith teach Muslims it is a virtue to lie and deceive in the cause of Islam and Allah, the only way I can begin to believe a Muslim means what he says is when his actions support his words.
Because no man should profit from his crimes, Muslims must return the lands they stole, indemnify the survivors and relatives of the families they destroyed and impoverished. Abolish Slavery. Tear down the mosques they built on the ground of the churches they destroyed, and rebuild those churches.
Unless their acts support their words, what they say is pure B.S.

A better question might be why the MSM always goes to CAIR in order to find out "What the Islamic community" thinks.
One answer might be....MONEY! CAIR has it the others don't. And if you cross them get ready for death threats.
Exactly. The "moderates" are rendered useless and mute by their "brothers". Do we see a pattern here?
