American Muslim Council calls on Kofi to investigate political repression by US
pak news ^ | 2/2/03

Posted on 02/02/2003 9:39:02 PM PST by knak

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan. 30, 2003: (AMC Press Release) In a letter to U.N. Secretary Kofi Annan, AMC Executive Director Eric Erfan Vickers, has called on the U.N. to conduct an inquiry into the “political repression of Muslim and Arab and Asian Americans by the United States government.”

Citing six examples of political repression by the U.S. government, including the new INS policy targeting Muslim countries, Vickers stated, “our hope is that if the U.N. can shine some world light on the “un-American” practices of the U.S. government, then perhaps this country can begin to right itself.”

See attached letter.

January 30,

03

VIA TELEFAX Honorable Kofi Annan Secretary-General United Nations United Nations Headquarters First Avenue at 46th Street New York, New York 10017

Re: Political Repression of Muslims in the United States

Dear Secretary-General Annan:

I am writing to request that the United Nations begin an immediate inquiry into the political repression of Muslim and Arab and Asian Americans by the United States government. We are making this request because all our frequent calls on America’s political leaders to cease the government’s religious and ethnic profiling have fallen on deaf ears. Thus, regrettably, the American citizens victimized by this repression must look to the world outside for relief from these shameful and undemocratic practices by our government.

These wrongful acts by the U.S. government include:

(1) The Justice Department’s new policy of selectively gathering intelligence information on mosques and Muslims without having to establish any criminal connection or basis for this intrusive surveillance;

(2) The targeting of persons from Muslim countries for registration and fingerprinting by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service;

(3) The detention and deportation of Muslim and Arab and Asian immigrants through selective enforcement of immigration laws;

(4) The barring of Muslims from returning to the U. S. after visiting abroad through selective enforcement of immigration laws;

(5) The arbitrary rounding up of over 5,000 citizens who were either Muslims or of Middle Eastern descent without any criminal basis for this collective suspicion and criminal processing;

(6) The arbitrary denial of access to the American legal system through selectively classifying persons as enemy combatants.

We have no illusions about the power of the U.N. to inquire into wrongs by a nation with the stature of the United States. However, our hope is that if the U.N. can shine some world light on these “un-American” practices by the U.S. government, then perhaps this country can begin to right itself.

Your time and consideration are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely yours,

Eric Erfan Vickers Executive Director American Muslim Council 721-R 2nd Street NE, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20002 Tel: 202-543-0075, Fax: 202-543-0095 E-mail: media@amconline.org

The End.

I'll bet you the Asian reference is to the extremist Pakistanis that our gov't has rightly been focusing on.

" the "American" Muslim Council might just get infiltrated"

How about they get the boot from relevance? How about they get no "special" access to the president. I think this would fall under the SS protecton, don't you? I like that better, They can have their silly little Muslim club, but we don't give a happy d*mn about it!!!

This line had me rolling:

The detention and deportation of Muslim and Arab and Asian immigrants through selective enforcement of immigration laws;

How dare us deport illegal muslim immigrants. That is so 'un-American'. HA HA. This is hilarious.

I saw another CNN story this weekend of a Pakistani family walking in the cold night to the Canada border, because they were here illegally. At least they were dressed warm.

19 Muslim hijackers come in and kill 3,000 Americans.

After reviewing the facts we have determined that there was a distinct set of notable points.

1. They were all from muslim countries.

2. They were part of an organization that is 99.99999% muslim.

3. Their organization uses mosques as a place to recruit and spread their message.

So what's the gov't response? Was it to halt all immigration from Sweden?

No. It was to keep an eye on and limit the amount of muslims from countries where there are serious terrorist activity in as well as the monitoring of mosques in which they collect in.

There's a reason why asian muslims from China aren't being surveyed as well as a reason why Christians from Germany aren't being hassled.

But the US could always correct it's horrible ludicial system to match that of many muslims country. But who would decide how many times a girl should get raped if her brother commits a crime?

"The Justice Department’s new policy of selectively gathering intelligence information on mosques and Muslims without having to establish any criminal connection or basis for this intrusive surveillance..."

It may be of interest to the moose limbs that islam is esentially illegal in the U.S. and has been since 1892.

In all seriousness the only points that may get traction is point 5 and 6. Don't get me wrong. It's all whining by a jackass. But those last 2 does raise an eyebrow with most civil libertarians. But the first 4 they won't get anywhere except for those who are sympathetic to the cause.

"God will destroy America by the hands of the Muslims....God will not give Japan or Europe the honor of bringing down the United States; this is an honor God will bestow upon Muslims."" - Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan.

Twenty-Year Plan for USA: Islam Targets America

Twenty-Year Plan for USA: Islam Targets America

The True Furqan can be located on HERE or HERE

The following is Dr. Shorrosh's analysis of Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020! Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?

1. Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills state-wide and nation-wide.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the original African-American's religion while Christianity is for the whites! Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, "Abed."

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America - the black gold. America's economy depends on oil,1000 products are derived from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell, "foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un-American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran" time Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions, get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way.

Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:

a. Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961)

b. No birth control whatsoever - every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.

c. Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years - since one cannot have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.

d. Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2000 released inmates have joined Al Qaida world-wide). Only a few have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil. So far - sleeping cells!

10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are 300 exclusively Muslim schools with loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution.

11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish "Centers for Islamic studies" with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.

12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, not the truth, which is Islam hijacked the terrorists. Furthermore in January of 2002, Saudi Arabia's Embassy in Washington mailed 4500 packets of the Quran, videos, promoting Islam to America's high schools--free. They would never allow us to reciprocate.

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.

14. Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls. (We have experienced this too often since 9-11.) 15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not American's justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America's campuses by insisting that freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only.

18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media of their visibility.

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the US by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.

I think they should investigate fully.

The UN should recruit abortists, democrats, gun-grabbers, rump rangers, illegals, and other "domestic enemies of the Constitution" to wear UN uniforms and go door-to-door in search of any political repression against muslims.

You betcha.

And I've seen what you posted already, and I sure do thank you for putting it up again. I'm of the mind it should be printed out and handed to everyone we meet.

I am NOT a sympathizer (is that spelled right?)....I'm just saying that Bush HAS to be political....to a point. I'm afraid that that point of stopping being political is rapidly coming to a close.

Saddam, etal, are going to feel the wrath of the President, his cabinet, and we American's.

LOL! I think you missed the point of my post.

A minority of Americans would be ambivalent to the scenario I described.

The rest would see a "target rich environment" ;-)

"The UN should recruit abortists, democrats, gun-grabbers, rump rangers, illegals, and other "domestic enemies of the Constitution" to wear UN uniforms and go door-to-door in search of any political repression against muslims."

The Islammababhabbis have miscalculated their timing for their jihad in America by at least a few years.

Their strengths and positions in high places and places of technical, financial, and political power are still immature to launch a jihad here.

This may be their undoing - to show their hand so early in the game.

Notice the timing of the imam's attack on bush - just before we hit Iraq and right as Kim Il Song is nuclear blackmailing our allies in Asia.

And note who they are calling on to "rescue" them from the onslaught of the infidels - the U.N. and their friends in the Democratic National Party.

Grandma - hand me a baseball bat please (sweetie).
