Barack Obama, in his Cairo speech, said: “I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story.” AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE: Dear Mr. Obama: Where were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians. Where were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians. Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so. Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No. Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as “pug nosed slaves.” Says a lot of what the muslim world really thinks of your family's “rich Islamic heritage,” Doesn't it Obama? Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not Present. There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights. Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the ‘hijab' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they? Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim Grand Mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews. Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on September 11, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very “moderate” Muslims who asses you, bent over backwards to kiss you in Cairo, Egypt, on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day. And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the “rich heritage” Muslims have here in America. Oh, I forgot to mention the Berbery Pirates. They were Muslim. And now we can add November 5, 2009 – the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a Psychiatrist – who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim Students Association, and other Muslim Brotherhood front groups, which, shockingly, make up the Muslim establishment in America, according to the new book, “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America.” The Muslim groups have been vehemently protesting the FBI's use of undercover informants in mosques and its recent seizure of several mosques in America. Last year, a mosque leader in Detroit was fatally wounded in a shootout with FBI agents who sought his arrest on felony charges. “Wherever an Islamic community exists, which is a concrete example of the divinely ordained system of life, it has a God-given right to step forward and take control of the political authority so that it may establish the divine system on earth.” “Milestones” preaches that Shariah law should be implemented “by force” if Western societies resist the barbaric Islamic code. “Bringing about the enforcement of the Divine Law and the abolition of man-made laws cannot be achieved only through preaching,” it says. “When obstacles and practical difficulties are put in its way, it has no recourse but to remove them by force.” “Islam has the right to take the initiative,” the book claims. “It has the right to destroy all obstacles in the form of institutions and traditions. It is the duty of Islam to annihilate all such systems.” BM **The beliefs and statements of all Bikya Masr blogumnists are their own and do not necessarily reflect our editorial views.
