Where is the outrage in the American Muslim community?
Two years after 9/11, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the American Muslim Council (AMC), the Muslim Students Association (MSA) and similar groups are still respectfully regarded as the voices of American Muslims, despite the fact that members of these organizations have been apologists for extremism and even linked to terrorist groups. Almost no one - Muslim or non-Muslim - dares criticize these groups for their positions or their associations.
What's more, these groups shamelessly attack, demean and attempt to intimidate Muslims who are loyal to this great nation. They continue to attempt to persuade American Muslims to view themselves not as patriots but as victims.
Muslim community newspapers are silent about these issues. They write nothing about the MSA-directed groups that stage anti-American rallies, attack people who speak out about the pernicious activities of the Saudis, or simply challenge the talking points of the establishment Muslim groups on anything taking place in the Arab and Islamic worlds.
In particular, proud Muslims who are also proud Americans need to tell the truth about Wahhabism, the intolerant and militant brand of Islam being exported from Saudi Arabia and which is defended in the United States by CAIR, AMC and MSA.
I know about these issues firsthand. As a Muslim student at Arizona State University who abhors Wahhabism, I've been the victim of MSA's hate campaigns. For my efforts in organizing a "Support our Troops" rally the day that Operation Iraqi Freedom started, I was told by several MSA members that I was "going to hell." In a Letter to the Editor in the campus paper, the president of the MSA even accused me of being guilty of bigotry toward Arabs and Muslims. In his view, it was anti-Muslim of me to want to see Iraqi Muslims liberated from the oppression of Saddam Hussein, who has murdered more Muslims than anyone else in this century, and perhaps in any century.
Terrorism has not been far from the Arizona State University campus. On May 9, a Saudi student at ASU, Muhammad Al-Gurashi, was arrested; he had been the driver who escorted convicted terrorist supporter Faisal Al-Salmi to President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch on what were apparently reconnaissance missions.

It is now up to a new generation of American-born Muslims to show our pride in being Americans, and our willingness to advance our chosen brand of moderate Islam, not the Wahhabi despotism backed by our so-called leaders. The sooner that Muslim Americans come to realize the error of following groups like CAIR, AMC and MSA, the sooner we can be welcomed and respected wholeheartedly by the rest of America. It is our nation, too; we must expose and denounce those who would destroy it.
Alas, Muslims like the author appear to be scarcer than hens' teeth.
I sincerely hope he won't be killed for his patriotism.

How can "American-born Muslims" show their pride in being part of the "Great Satan[ists]"?
Muslims, moderate or otherwise are to advance Islam by any and every means necessary (including violence and martyrdom) so that the flag of Islam ultimately flies over the U.S Capitol building and the White House.
To Muslims, it would be a sin against Allah and his prophet to do, think or say otherwise.
Just ask King Fahd about his Wahhabi plan for America...
They're more common than you think, but tend to remain silent because...
I sincerely hope he won't be killed for his patriotism.
Of concerns like this.
Maybe all of them can discuss it at their next meeting...in a phone booth.
Translation: "Who are you gonna believe, your lyin' eyes or this little book, the one source of revealed divine truth? Infidel!!! Allah will roast your stomach in Hell!!!"
