We Must Purge Political Islam From America

Below is a press release by Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim who has been trying for many years to call other Muslims to the reality that they need not be afraid in America. He has also been trying to explain to Americans who are not Muslims the difference between Political Islamists and good Muslims and what Political Islam is. He has been doing this since 2001, but the media pays him no attention because speaks truth in a way that offends other Muslims. Oh no, we can't have that! *sigh*

American Muslim Organization calls for Shahzad to be treated as a traitor.

Actions of Times Square bomber, a naturalized US citizen, were treasonous.

PHOENIX (May 6, 2010) - Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim and the president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy issued the following statement regarding the attack of Faisal Shahzad on New York's Times Square.

"The actions of Faisal Shahzad a naturalized US citizen on May 1, 2010 were a calculated and deliberate act of treason. Shahzad's cowardly attempt to kill innocent Americans in Times Square clearly demonstrates his loyalty lies with the Islamist radicals and not his chosen countrymen in the United States. His actions were a result of his faith in the supremacy of an Islamic State over the United States. His citizenship oath was given falsely in 2009 and was in the direct service of powers at war with the United States. His prosecution should encompass the gravity of those actions. No different from Hassan Abujihad convicted in 2008, Nidal Hasan and other Islamist traitors Shahzad if guilty is an enemy of the state and should be immediately legally treated as one.

Whether we declare it or not the United States is at war with the ideology of militant Islamism. Islamists are not afraid to call for the complete destruction of the principles that built our great country. The United States cannot afford to be timid in our response to their actions. Our citizens must abandon the paralyzing fears of political correctness and engage in long overdue genuine theo-political debates about the dangerous separatism of political Islam and its radicalizing effects.

Our elected officials must show true ideological leadership if we are to ever begin the long process of ridding ourselves of the scourge of Islamist terrorism. We cannot cower to victim-mongering organizations that thrive on keeping us from addressing the very real threats to our security. Platitudes that only condemn violence and ignore common ideology will not bring about the necessary reforms which can eventually prevent radicalization.

At the American Islamic Forum for Democracy we believe that it is incumbent on our elected leaders to engage in the war of ideas and demonstrate that the rule of one law that protects universal religious freedom takes precedence over the Islamic state. America in fact provides the best atmosphere for Muslims to practice our faith and it is time for us to empower honest reformist Muslims to declare the 'Islamic state' dead. We will never slow down the recurrence of Islamist terror against our citizenry until such a movement from Muslims against political Islam is palpable."

I understand that are many Americans who may not believe there are any 'good' Muslims because they don't hear about their protests, they don't read their denunciations of Muslims violence against innocent civillians without throwing Israel into the mix, they don't see any of this.

This man has served in our Military. He love this country. He is trying to bring this to the light. You may choose to believe whatever you will, but if he had as much coverage as CAIR you must ask yourselvs, "Would I still believe as I do?"

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again. Digg!
