Please read this, I know it's hard to do without throwing up.
More importantly, please REACT and RESPOND by voicing your opinion on the lies and propoganda in this "article" by writing the Charlotte Observer with your opinion!
New party, old religion
JIBRIL HOUGH
Special to The Observer
There seems to be a campaign by Islam-ophobes such as Cal Thomas and Steven Emerson, among others, to instill a false sense of fear into the American public, as Muslims become more politically active and register to vote.
Most of the National Islamic organizations are moving towards an effort to get the Muslim community in America registered to vote and more involved in and educated on the political process. We in the Islamic Political Party of America have taken this effort a step further and have established the first Islamic political party in America. We are an issue-based party and are in the process of strengthening our relationships with those with common visions, while understanding that in politics we will not agree on all issues.
Our party consists of Muslims who accepted this faith through conversion and/or lineage, those who are indigenous to this land and those who are immigrants. We all are practitioners of the same faith, Islam, and citizens of the same country, America.
This grassroots political organization wishes to partake in the political process, address the concerns of the Islamic community and defend our right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
It is important for the American public to know that although this political movement by Muslims may be somewhat new, Muslims have been a part of the fabric of this society, in some fashion, since before Columbus. Muslim explorers visited the West Coast long ago. Arabic writings have been found in some caves in California. The name "California" comes from the Arabic word calif, meaning ruler or leader.
The Declaration of Independence possesses Islamic concepts. Also, 30 percent to 40 percent of the Africans who were enslaved, kidnapped and brought to this country were Muslims. Some of these built the U.S. Capitol building. The descendants of others were lynched and attacked as they fought to gain the right to vote and for self-determination.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, Muslims have seen many changes in the place we call home. Our civil/religious liberties have been attacked by the likes of the so-called Patriot Act. This, coupled with the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and the continued unbalanced policy towards Israel and Palestine, gives Muslims many reasons to become more politically active -- as well as exercising our right to vote as we look towards an American "regime change" in 2004.
The transformation that our community is undertaking perhaps will act as a conscience to this administration and give hope to those Muslim Americans who wish to make America "a more perfect union."
Our Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him) said in a prophetic statement, "In the last days, the sun will rise from the west." Perhaps, as Muslims in America become more politically active, that sun will begin to rise.

If we Americans were truly heartless people, we'd give California back to the arabs.
This article makes my "blood boil".However, I did read it and responded to the Charlotte Observer.
Again, the liberals in this Country are going to rewrite History. I thought we had learned on Sept. 11th, but how soon some forget.
Why?
You asked Why...... I have no idea.... I wish someone would explain this to me, too???????
California: Most authorities derive it from the two Spanish words, caliente fornalia, i.e., "hot furnace," given by Cortez in the year 1535 to the peninsula now known as Baja or Lower California, of which he was the discoverer, on account of its hot climate. H. H. Bancroft, in his History of California, says the name was first given to the Gulf, then to Lower California.
Ignores the reality? I doubt it. He knows full well what is happening and probably condones it behind all is lying words.
I have found several references in a google search to the origin of the word, "California," and they all pretty much go something like this:
The origin of the name "California" as well as the person who first named this land and the date it came into use are still unclear. It is accepted theory that the name derived from the combination of the Latin words "calida fornax" (hot oven), which were used by Hernán Cortez on reaching the peninsula
These people lie like other people breathe. And they lie with a totally straight face, expecting you to believe it. They don't even SEE an assertion as being a "lie" if it furthers their agenda.
More specifically, Bush is just keeping his hands off the controls of an immigration system on autopilot since 1965. That was the year LBJ and his supermajority Congress ended the practice of the US government picking immigrants (Country Quotas), and switched over to a "family-chain-migration system", in which immigrants pick immigrants.
That legislation, authored by Ted Kennedy (Yes, really) has shifted immigration from a largely European affair to an overwhelmingly Latin American and Asian enterprise.
Immigration from Islamic countries, while considerable, still amounts to only about 7-8 percent of the total legal immigration flow, with Pakistan the largest single Islamic immigrant source country.
Though there are powerful ethnic and cheap-labor interests behind out-of-control immigration system, it is out-of-favor with the public at large. Bush could have wiped the whole mess away on a voice vote in the wake of 9-11. He could still probably cut out the 7-8 percent from Islamic states, but that at this point, it would take more political courage than I've seen coming from this administration.
As I have said so many times, this Country has a short memory and I'm afraid that we will pay for it in the future.
Alabama, which was originally ALLAHBAMA or, ALA-BABA-BAMA. Some might say it was named after the great Jamal, and was originally Jamalabama.
Alaska was actually ALLAHSKA, meaning, the place where Allah and I will bang 70 virgin goats.
Idaho, because all your women are ho's!
And of course, WE followers of Allah actually named the state of UNWASHINGTON, because we believe soap and toilet paper are the work of the white skin devil!
Praise be to Allah for teaching the truth about the origin of names!

This article should give pause to all. The Islamics in America have every intention of impacting American social and domestic policy to their own benefit, as well as our relationship with Israel. Note well the writer's statement:
"...the continued unbalanced policy towards Israel and Palestine, gives Muslims many reasons to become more politically active -- as well as exercising our right to vote as we look towards an American "regime change" in 2004."
Yeah, well Bush/Cheney in 2004, pal.
