URGE YOUR HOUSE REP TO SIGN RAMADAN RESOLUTION

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 9/23/05) The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today urged American Muslims and other people of conscience to call their elected representatives and ask that they sign on to a House resolution recognizing the upcoming Islamic fast of Ramadan. (Calls are best because of time constraints.)

The resolution states in part:

(1) during this time of conflict, in order to demonstrate solidarity with and support for members of the community of Islam in the United States and throughout the world, the House of Representatives recognizes the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world; and (2) in observance of and out of respect for the commencement of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal, the House of Representatives acknowledges the onset of Ramadan and expresses its deepest respect to Muslims in the United States and throughout the world on this significant occasion.

And while you have your congressperson on the phone, ask him/her what they are doing to help free these muslim countries:

Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal.

Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship.

Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam.

Egypt - Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.

Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution.

Jordan - Has the death penalty for any Muslim selling land to a Jew.

Sudan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.

Pakistan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims. Christians regularly put in prison for charges of blasphemy.

Looks and smells like BS to me. What Congress should resolve is that "islam is incompatible with the US Constitution and Bill of Rights".

[Carolina_Thor]

What does Jimmy Carter have to do with CAIR?

[weegee]

Isn't every time of year "some" holy season to muslims?

When will the ACLU be mounting a campaign against this resolution?

He supports them more than our current Administration.

F U cair.

[Piquaboy]

CAIR can go screw itself.

[gridlock]

Somehow, I don't see this one as getting too much traction. People are hostile to Islam in this country. If your run-of-the-mill, non-bomber Muslim doesn't like that, they should clean house, and then we'll talk.

I say the congress should recognize Yom Kippor and Jewish new year

[Snoopers-868th]

But we do need to call and show our opposition.
