The Washington metropolitan area has one of the largest and most diverse Muslim communities in the country, with an estimated 300,000 adherents from nearly every Islamic-influenced ethnic group in the world. "You can find the whole Muslim world here in Washington," says Zahid H. Bukhari, director of the American Muslim Studies Program at Georgetown University's Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. "There's the misconception that all Muslims are Arabs, or that all Arabs are Muslims," says Imam Mohamed Magid, the Sudanese-born executive director of the 900-member All Dulles Area Muslim Society mosque, which is attended predominantly by South Asians from Pakistan and India, and has several Bosnian and Russian members. About 37,500 people of Arab ancestry or ethnicity reside in the metropolitan area, according to statistics from the 2000 U.S. census. But about 64,500 metropolitan residents have ethnic or ancestral ties to India and about 10,500 to Pakistan — two non-Arab countries with sizable Muslim populations.

And that's just in the State Department!
Now there's a comforting thought.
Good reason to move in a westerly direction.
And every last one of them bowing down toward an Arab city 5 times a day. We don't exactly need any of them.
If they thought of themselves as Americans, perhaps their priorities would be clarified.
That will happen --- just like the destruction of the WTC happened --- when the mullahs say the word, their followers will obey. Just like the mind-numb robots they are who can't clean their own noses except after getting instructions from their iman.
I can't help but wonder if everyone would be better off if the 'whole Muslim world' was in the, well, Muslim world.
And obviously we're going to have problems with them --- they intend to stay, they are here to take over --- just as the Koran instructs them --- they are not to live among the infidels except for the purpose of conquering them. I don't want to "share" Islam --- it's a disgusting cult --- I want my freedom.
That's the problem --- Islam is an utter failure --- even the Muslims don't want to stay in their Islamic paradises but they're stupid enough to be used as pawns to spread their destruction --- if Islam worked well, so many thousands would not be coming here.
If the whole Muslim world is there in DC, I'd be willing to sacrifice all of the monuments, governmental buildings, historical places...just move the Bush administration out pf towm and the Republicans along with a few Dems like Zell Miller, then level the place.
I am basically with you. The Muslim's are cult worshipers and "robots". We need to limit their intrusiojn into the country or we will be overwhelemed, like Britain has been.
This is worse that an invasion by Mars, or the intrusion of the Borg.
In the Qu'ran(Koran)-->>Torment to Non-believers->4.56 *Only Islam Acceptable-> 3.85 * No friends from outsiders->3.118 *No friends with Jews, christians->5. 51 * No friends with non believers->4.144, 3.28 * No friends with parents/siblings if non-believers->IX.23 * Fight non-believers->9.123 * Kill non-believers->6.89...
HELLO...Somebody's LYIN'... there is much more... but thats enough..
BTTT...
I thought they were all in Michigan.
It cannot be stated more clearly than that.
But we don't need people moving in whose allegience is to a foreign government --- what other people actually take 5 times a day --- feel entitled to more and longer break times from work so they can face some foreign city and bow down to it --- Islam is all about Arab domination of the entire world and that's why they bow to an Arab city.
Exactly --- this is what they're here to do to us --- unless we submit more easily.
Worth repeating
And every last one of them bowing down toward an Arab city 5 times a day.
No matter what their roots, just as Johnny Taliban from Marin County, CA they bow down to a monument of Arab culture in an Arab country.
That's the problem. They are in the Muslim world.
They believe where ever they set foot, it is terror-tory of the Muslims. Islam.
There one-way tolerance has one purpose: To require us to be tolerant of their "religion" until they can take over.
Then back to their rules. You know, where if three men gang rape a woman, they shoot her in the back of the head for her failings. The men go free. Etc.
I used to wonder why any woman would stay in the Islamic religion. It didn't take much research to find out.
They are scared to death to rebel.
Literally. They know if they become individuals their lives are in mortal peril.
I wonder why the article does not mention the large number of african americans who have converted to islam and live in D.C.
I live up here, and there is certainly no shortage of Muslims. I question whether this is the largest concentration of Muslims, though - I thought that honor went to Dearborn (Detroit), Michigan... What's the deal with our "distinction?"
The 572k is only counting people who live in DC proper. You'd need to add in the population of Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland to get a more accurate Metropolitan figure. (I want to say the entire area's well into the millions, but I'm not a statistician, I don't play one on TV, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.)
However, saying nice things about Islam and having imams into the White House started with Bill and Hillary and received much praise from Muslim publications.
Secretary of State Colin Powell stated that we should bring in more clergy, more teachers and more journalists from Islamic countries.
Are they mad? Wasn't 9/11 enough for them? Now they want to make it easier for terrorists to come to this country? And the other side isn't much better.
And what is really crazy is that anyone coming in from Europe must now be fingerprinted - except those coming from Canada and Mexico.

Ain't diversity great?
Winodog, the black converts really don't count. They've been around since the 60s and no-one pays them any attention. Most are NOI, which is not orthodox Islam and is largely mocked by most Muslims. NOI is mostly concerned with selling more bean pies on the street corner and buying new cars for Louis Farakhan.
I live in Virginia ten miles away from a huge (and I do mean huge, it looks like a palace) mosque. We have everything.. Saudis, Pakistanis, Libyans, Somalis, a sprinkling of people from Bahrain and Yeman....
I've said for years that if I ever notice that a large number of the men aren't walking around I'm getting in the car and heading for the hills.
Hehehe well here in New York City, the cab drivers are okay, and most sell incense and the like.
Don't forget selling issues of the Final Call, Louie's newspaper of discord.
"The happiest place on earth, if you don't lose your head"
LOL!! I never had that happen to me but I had to take a cab to Social Security one day and that was an experience.
I got in the cab and gave the guy the address and he said "Where that?" So, I told him to get on I-75 north and go to Royal Lane and turn left. Then he asked "How I get on I-75?"
Well, to make a long story short I got there but I had to do everything but drive the cab for him. Needless to say he didn't get a tip!!
So they fly under the radar. The beltway sniper was a convert and there have been a few others with military ties. I suspect they are laying low just like the islamic terrorists from the middle east who live here, legal and illegal. I also suspect the day will come when they are given their marching orders. The election might have something to do with their plans and I pray that you are correct and very few african-american converts are radical types.
I agree. We need to move the capital. But where to put it?
Texas has the right attitude but is too infiltrated with hispanics.
Don't want to put it in a state with a small population or the bureacrats will have an entire state at their disposal.
Maybe designate a new D.C. somewhere on the texas Oklahoma border.

Jermaine Jackson(L), brother of Michael Jackson, Jackson family spokesman Firpo W. Carr(C) and Khawaja Khurshid Reshi hold a rug with a woven picture of Michael Jackson April 19, 2004, in Manama. Jermaine Jackson, in the Gulf to promote understanding between Muslims and his fellow Americans, said Tuesday that Muslims are 'the new Negroes in America.' Jermaine, a convert to Islam and dressed in white Arab garb, has been speaking about Islam and U.S. 'adventures' in Iraq to enthusiastic audiences at Koranic centers and universities in the Gulf Arab state of Bahrain.

AMERICA'S ISLAMIZATION
CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) spokesman Ibrahim Hooper indicated in a 1993 interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he wants to see the United States become a Muslim country.
Before Americans start pitying the poor Brits (who truly deserve a good bashing from Islam), they should checked their own neighborhoods! Besides Louis Farrakan's Nation of Islam, the Black Panther and New Black Panther Parties with all their black wanna-be Muslims, there are also REAL Muslims and their communities are springing up everywhere. In 1970 there were an estimated one-hundred thousand Muslims in the United States. Today, a mere 34 years later, the number is approximately 7-10 million! More than a quarter of a million people of Arab descent live in southeastern Michigan, making the area the second-largest Arab community outside the Middle East (after Paris, France). One frightening example of their prolific growth in American is Dearborn, Michigan. Of a total population of
90,000 Dearborn residents, 25,000 are now Arabs! And of all the Dearborn children under the age of 18, a full 58% are Arab children! Other developing centers of Arab/Muslim growth are Florida, Texas, New Jersey and California. God Bless America!
Every year huge numbers of Arabs/Muslims from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Kuwaitis, Syria, Egypt, Albania and dozens of other ethnic Muslim states who hate America swarm into the United States and add to the already increasing numbers of Arab/Muslim. And every year hundreds of mosques, which preach the extermination of all non-Muslims and the Islamization of America, are being added to the thousands already pointing their minarets skyward. The vast majority (80%) of American mosques are funded with Saudi Arabian money and most subscribe to 18th century Wahhabism that calls for the spread of Islam through violence. Many mosques, "Islamic Learning Centers" and Arab/Muslim Student Unions are distributing large numbers of pamphlets and leaflets attacking Judaism, Christianity and other non-Muslim religions and urging young Americans (esp. angry black Americans) to convert to Islam! Not surprisingly, a large number of African-Americans convert to Islam while in the prison systems! The National Islamic Prison Foundation, which coordinates a campaign to convert inmates to Islam claim an average of 135,000 such conversions per year. And if thousands of self-hating, Leftwing Jews hadn't already converted to Buddhism, they too might be targeted!
The nerve of these evil people to exploit the freedoms given to them here in America and other democracies when their goal is to extinguish ALL freedom!
Many Arabs in America are a disloyal fifth column. They work relentlessly to undermine the U.S. struggle to survive in the face of the growing Muslim terrorist threat. The huge Muslim birthrate, Muslim immigration, the massive expansion of Muslim religious and educational institutions that convert Christians to Islam and the purchase of major U.S. companies by Muslim oil sheiks are all also part of their strategy. America's great friend (???), Saudi Arabia, from whose land came fifteen of the nineteen September 11th Arab hijackers (who flattened the World Trade Center, a portion of the Pentagon and made a very big hole in a Pennsylvania field), has for some time been spear-heading the spread of Islamic doctrine. The Saudis have wholly or partly financed some 210 Islamic Centers (check out this one in Boca Raton, Florida!!!), more than 1,500 mosques and 202 colleges and almost 2,000 schools for educating Muslim children in non-Islamic countries in Europe, Asia, South America, Canada, Australia and America. Check out the mosque near you and look for Islamic propagandists exalting the virtues of Islam to appear soon in YOUR kid's school. Speaking of schools, watch them try to infuse Islam and Islamic rights INTO school systems! Did you know that some Islamic schools in America are teaching hatred toward American Jews and Christians? And what about regular North American colleges and universities? Check out one of the so-called "social activities" of the M.S.A. (Muslim Student Association)! And don't forget to pick up the U.S. Postal Service's new 34 cent Eid-il-Mubarak stamp!
Note: For a better appreciation of the colonization of Arab/Islamic terror squads arrive, colonize and flourish in America and how they interconnect, recruit, raise money and use the American freedoms and legal system as a cover.
"And every last one of them bowing down toward an Arab city 5 times a day."
No wonder they're living in abject poverty and have no industry or trade - except murder - to speak of. What a freaking waste of time.
The Muslims have had a grand scheme, and organized drive to encroach on the West. The West has no idea, and did not have any plan to stop Islam, or even educate its people to its potential threat.
Saudi Arabia sends millions of Dollars to build mosques all over the West, and prevents the West from building one single church in their country. Our people and our politicians appear not to care about this unfair treatment from the Saudis. Islam proselyte freely in our prisons; yet we have no similar access to other Moslem countries’ prisoners.
Schemes for converting the infidels
1) Young Moslem guys are encouraged to romantically entrap Christian girls, especially the fat ones who have low self esteem. They demand conversion to Islam, and let these girls have as many babies as possible. Of course our government will support these “poor” children, who will be the soldiers in the fifth column.
2) In prisons, there is this protection scheme by Moslem gangs to any prisoner who will convert. Even Mike Tyson needed to protect his a$$ from gang rape.
3) In countries like Sudan, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Egypt the Moslem government look the other way as its militia torture, and rape the Christian citizens who resist the pressure to convert.
The achievements of this deviant scheme are always a source of pride to the Moslems. Especial pride in Moslem papers to the effort to convert famous guys like Mohammad Ali, and Karim Abdul Jabbar…..
Christian leaders, and families must teach their children that there are organized movements to force convert them to Islam.

A refugee from the Muslim Middle East thinks he has discovered Islam's 20-point plan for conquering the United States by 2020 – a plan revealed in the latest issue of Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
Anis Shorrosh, author of ''Islam Revealed'' and ''The True Furqan,'' is a Christian Arab-American who emigrated from Arab-controlled Jerusalem in January 1967.
''The following is my analysis of Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020,'' Shorrosh says. ''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 statewide and nationwide hate-crime bills.
2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities who promote Islam as the religion of African-Americans while insisting Christianity is for whites only. What they fail to tell African-Americans is that it was Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves. In fact, the Arabic 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 to bring about favorable legislation toward Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.
5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the Internet as possible by buying the related corporations or a controlling stock.
6. Yield to the fear of the imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – black gold. America’s economy depends on oil and 41 percent of it comes from the Middle East.
7. Yell ''foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran'' anytime 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 and get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. (Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?) Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way.
9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:
10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1,500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are currently 300 exclusively Muslim schools in the U.S. which teach loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution. In January of 2002, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Washington mailed 4,500 packets of the Quran and videos promoting Islam to America's high schools – free of charge. Saudi Arabia would not allow the U.S. to reciprocate.
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, when in truth, Islam hijacked the terrorists.
13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards 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 with reports of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls.
15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not America'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 freshman take at least one course on Islam.
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.
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 U.S. by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.
Shorrosh is a member of the Oxford Society of Scholars, has traveled in 76 countries, and is a lecturer and producer of TV documentaries. ''Islam Revealed'' is a bestseller now in its eighth printing. His forthcoming 10th book, from which the 20-point plan is abridged, is titled ''Islam: A Threat or a Challenge.''
''The True Furqan'' is also available for viewing on Islam-Exposed.org. Shorrosh's new website is Focusing-on-Islam.com.
The Truth About Islam
Observations by Dr. David R. Reagan
Ever since the Attack on America on September 11, 2001, we have heard a never-ending chorus of voices from government, academia, and the media assuring us that the Islamic terrorists who attacked the Trade Towers and the Pentagon are not representative of “true Islam.” We have been likewise assured by spiritual leaders — even some Christian spokesmen — that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Muslims worship the same God as Christians and Jews.
“Our war is not against Islam,” we have been told repeatedly. “Our war is against terrorism.”
Central Questions
Well, what about it?
The Intolerant and Militant Nature of Islam
One of the most controversial issues regarding Islam concerns whether or not it is a militant religion. Muslims in the West argue it is peace-loving. Westerners who have experienced it in the Muslim world argue it is inherently intolerant and militant.
The Koran itself preaches intolerance toward other religions. Sura 5 contains the following command: “Take not Jews and Christians for friends . . . He among you who takes them for friends is one of them . . . Choose not for friends such of those who received the Scripture before you [Jews and Christians] . . But keep your duty to Allah” (verses 51, 55, 57). Extreme intolerance is commanded in Sura 5:33 — “[For those who do not submit to Allah] their punishment is . . . execution or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet, from the opposite sides, or exile from the land.”
The Koran also expresses an intolerant attitude toward any person who decides to reject the Islamic faith or convert to another religion. Such persons are to be executed (Sura 9:12). In the Hadith (the oral tradition of Muhammad’s sayings) it says “Whoever changes his religion, kill him” (Hadith 9:57). These commands are practiced in all Islamic Fundamentalist countries today.
With regard to militancy, the Koran not only condones it, it commands it:
Fighting is prescribed for you, and [some of] you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not (Sura 2:16).
Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war (Sura 9:5).
Fight in the way of Allah . . . and slay them [the unbelievers] wherever you find them and drive them out . . . and fight them until . . . religion is for Allah (Sura 2:190-193).
Muhammad is quoted in the Hadith as saying, “The sword is the key of heaven and hell. A drop of blood in the cause of Allah — a night spent in arms [war] — is of more avail than two months of fasting and prayer. Whosoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven, and at the day of judgment, his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubim.”12
The Imperialistic Nature of Islam
From its inception, Islam has been committed to what it calls jihad — a word meaning holy war. The duty of Muslims is to subjugate or destroy “infidels” — the term the Koran uses for all non-believers.
In the Muslim viewpoint, the world is divided into two regions — those areas controlled by Islam, called Dar al-Islam (meaning the House of Islam) and those called Dar al-Harb (the House of War). The Koran commands Muslims to fight non-Muslims until they exterminate all other religions, leaving Islam as the one and only religion in the world (Suras 2:193 and 8:39). Muhammad is quoted in the Hadith as saying, “I have been ordered to fight with the people until they say, none has the right to be worshiped but Allah” (Hadith 4:196).
Regarding terror, Allah orders Muslims to terrorize non-Muslims on his behalf: “Strike terror (into the hearts of ) the enemies of Allah and your enemies” (Sura 8:60). Allah then assures his followers that he will assist them: “I will instill terror into the hearts of unbelievers. Smite them above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them. It is not you who slay them, it is Allah” (Sura 8:12, 17).
Concerning jihad,14 the Koran guarantees Paradise to those who fight for Allah (Sura 4:74). It promises instant Paradise for those who die in battle (Suras 9:111 and 47:5-6). Dying for Allah is presented as better than living: “And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that others may amass [of worldly wealth]” (Sura 3:157).
Martyrs are promised a sensual and luxurious life in Paradise (Sura 52:17-22). According to Al-Ghazzali, one of Islam’s greatest teachers, when a martyr reaches Paradise, he “will marry 500 companions, 4,000 virgins, and 8,000 divorced women.”15 Commenting on this statement, Randall Price, biblical teacher and Middle East expert, observed that the Islamic Paradise is “just the kind of place that adolescent, unmarried men, isolated through their lives from the opposite sex by rigid cultural standards, would die for.”16
Fundamentalist Goals
The Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran was the modern day Islamic spokesman who revived Muhammad’s vision of world conquest. He taught that the re-establishment of Israel was a Satanic miracle allowed by Allah because of the lukewarmness of the Muslim masses. He called for a renewal of true Islam to accomplish three purposes:19
Notice the first priority was the transformation of secular Islamic countries into religious states ruled by the Koran. Then would come Israel and the world.
In a proclamation made by Osama bin Laden in 1998, he listed the same goals and prioritized them in the same order.20 He then identified the United States as the prime obstacle to the achievement of these goals. Accordingly, he called on Muslims everywhere “to comply with Allah’s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it.”
It is important to note that the eradication of Israel is not the top priority. Nor is Israel viewed as the major obstacle to world conquest. I emphasize this because many Americans are saying that the key to winning the war against terrorism is to dump Israel. More and more, on radio talk shows, I hear people saying, “Let’s cut Israel loose. Let the Arabs have it. Then they will leave us alone.”
That is utter nonsense. Israel is not the cause of Islamic terrorism toward the West. If Israel were to disappear tomorrow, Fundamentalist Islam would still be determined to destroy America as part of its plan to take the world for Allah. And if we were to abandon Israel, the Muslim world would interpret it as an act of cowardice, proving our word is meaningless and that we truly are, as they say, “a depraved society devoid of values.” Our abandonment of Israel would only whet their appetite. Islamic Fundamentalism cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.
Perhaps it wasn't such a grand location for the capital.
That's not entirely true, but it is indeed VERY hard to convert Muslims to Christianity, from what I've heard. This does not mean that Evangelism is futile or unnecessary, but it means that we ought to recognize reality and prepare ourselves for war.
We could. It would take dedication and a cohesive sense of identity among all the people of the Christian West--something which liberals look down upon and which conservatives are too afraid to claim.
