American Muslims Release PSA to Combat ‘Anti-Muslim Rhetoric Stemming From' Ground Zero Mosque Issue

(CNSNews.com) -- A coalition of American Muslims has released a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to combat what they call “anti-Muslim rhetoric stemming from the Islamic center issue” in New York City. The PSA says Muslims do not want to “take over this country” and do not “support terrorism of any form.”

“We aren’t associated with any group. We maintain our independence and everyone who worked on this did pro bono and paid for the costs out of their own pockets,” Hassan Ahmad, project manager of the initiative called "My Faith My Voice,” told CNSNews.com.

"There is no organization behind this,” said Ahmad. “It’s just a network of American Muslims who wanted to do something about the rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric stemming from the Islamic center issue in New York. We have no ties to the Park 51 people.”

My Faith My Voice’s PSA contains a group of diverse individuals addressing stereotypes of Muslims.

"In recent weeks, a lot of people have been telling you what to think about Muslims,” says one individual in the 60-second PSA.

“They say you should fear me, suspect me, hate me; but the truth is I don't want to impose my faith on you,” says the individual. “I don’t want to take over this country and I don’t support terrorism of any form.”

The PSA, which the coalition unveiled in a press conference at the National Press Club on Monday, also says Islam teaches individuals to “respect all people.”

“Islam teaches me to respect all people,” says the PSA. “I am an American. I am Muslim. This is My Faith. This is My Voice.”

According to its Web site, My Faith My Voice is “a grassroots effort by American Muslims from across the country looking to present their voice on issues affecting Muslims and Islam in America. It is an independent network with no affiliation to any one organization or school of thought. It is a platform for you, me and anyone else who wants to reach out and talk directly to America.”

On Monday, the coalition gathered with Jewish and Christian leaders at the Western Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. to speak about the PSA.

you know they are laughing at us about everything they do.

Once someone comes up and says what their quran says or their laws say they say it got lost in translation.
If a ex muslim says something then other muslims say he is wrong and is out for an agenda then they threaten to kill him or her.

They are allowed in their ideology to lie to us thus take over and bring their laws.

The sooner these left wing and other idiots wake up the better , that goes for the so called press and biased media

What does the koran say about lying to infidels?

They lose all credibility by equivocating.

Every single time some Muslims commit horrific acts of barbarism, and do so in the name of Islam, other Muslims are asked to condemn it.

THEY DO NOT CONDEMN ACTS OF MUSLIM TERRORISM.

Instead, they use a sweeping generalization, condemning “all” terrorism.

THIS IS NOT THE SAME.

Almost ALL terrorism in the world today is being committed by Muslims. Not Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, or secular organizations.

But Muslims do not condemn other Muslims. They do not say that they are “bad Muslims”, or “evil Muslims”. They do not say that the evil god they worship is not Allah.

Canis canem non est. (Latin). “Dog does not eat dog.”

Do the ads also mentioned the koran tells followers of the death cult to lie to the infidels until they can implement sharia?

Here’s their website. No information
about who is behind this effort. They all blink when
they say key words, they look like they’re lieing.

I’m going to consider words carefully and then
send them an email.

“Islam teaches me to respect all people,” says the PSA. “I am an American. I am Muslim. This is My Faith. This is My Voice.”

What an accomplished liar!

Perfect Kitman.

10.0

I generally reserve the 10.0 for the best but in this example, I’d suggest a new point scale to properly bestow the score this individual deserves.

Maybe a “Kitman Kollar”, adorned with symbols representing the 5 pillars of islam and a detonator to set off the det-cord that the collar’s made from....

Maybe?

American Muslims Release PSA

We don't need them dispersing anything. There's probably a go signal in there as well.

you said: “I´ve read the quran. These...people are liars.”

Same here and I agree.

It is beyond me that people in leadership roles have not referenced the book that Islam uses as it’s very core belifs. How can anyone not see.

“TRIVIA... I wonder if this gentleman on the NY CAIR board is the same gentleman referred to in the CNS news article. Maybe it’s a just a common name. I don’t know. Anyway, trivia time:#

Although the name is common, I have a sneaking suspicion you’re correct. Where did the money come from for the PSA? Who produced it? Who all are the leadership of the group? Follow the money, folks! (unfortunately, the web filter at work is blocking me from doing much tracking; I can’t get to their website.)

Among some minor googling, came across this website by a media-savy American(?) muslim. I think there may be hope for him if he’s encouraged to keep asking questions about Park51. Anyway, you may want to check him out: http://newmedianewmexico.blogspot.com/

Gee that’s interesting - meeting in a Christian church in PA.

So where’s the Christian Church located at in Mecca????

We need to be hammering these people on treatment of Christians in Muslem lands and never hold back. If and when Saudi’s with their tax dollars build a Christian Church in Mecca and eliminate the jizra tax, eliminate the beheadings of Christians worldwide, then we can discuss ‘tolerance’ and not until then.

We wish.

Not a chance the liberal progressives will turn from their agenda. They really are brainwashed. Perhaps in the face of catastrophe they might get a glimmer.

It is the passive/apathetic Christians and Republicans, non voters (usually) that must realize ... they better get out and vote this next elections: or it is going to be too late to recover or change.

Tyranny has taken over other nations from the beginning of history and still will.

Barbarians at the gate, and we let them come in and turn them louse ... in makes no sense whatsoever.

“I don't want to impose my faith on you”

Muslims, like Christians, are under an obligation to spread their faith.

Muslims, unlike Christians, are willing to “impose” their faith upon the unwilling, via a process known as “conversion at the point of a sword”.

“Submit and testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the apostle of Allah before you lose your head” words spoken in Muhammad's presence in order to convert the unwilling.

Qur’an (9:5) “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them...”

Qur’an (2:193) - “And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion be only for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers.”

How can we at peace in our nation when there is a group that are the antithesis of our laws and belief system, Constitution, a nation of laws. They begin demanding their own law!

Crazy. How hard is that to see?

God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

Was there ever a bigger lie?
