Muslims take to Minnesota State Fair to fix image.

Muslim residents hand out "Islam Explained" to fairgoers; want to show people they are "not terrorists."

Despite the smells of fried dough and roasted meat wafting from the Minnesota State Fair, Salim and Zuleyha Ozonder were focused on the people who were leaving, not the food or festivities beckoning from across the street.

Each time a new wave of people exited, the young Minneapolis residents — who hadn't eaten all day — tried to press into their hands a small, glossy card that read "Islam Explained" on one side. On the other, it had about 180 words of background on a religion whose adherents fear is being misunderstood by too many Americans as violent and depraved.

"You just want people to take the card, spend a minute reading it and say, 'Oh. They're not terrorists,'" said 27-year-old Zuleyha. She and her husband, like other Muslims, were fasting during daylight hours for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Oh, yeah. I'm convinced, thanx!

Look at this!

"Najam Qureshi, a member of the Islamic Circle of North America's Minnesota chapter"

The ICNA? Oh my Kafir, what is that?

Affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, an Egyptian-based movement that seeks to spread Islamic law throughout the world. Among them was current Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) President Zahid H. Bukhari - Bukhari traveled to India, Pakistan, Portugal, Latvia, Russia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, speaking on topics from "Black Muslim Roots in America" to "The Emergence and Development of Islamic Civilization." ICNA's ideology is based on that of Jamaat-e-Islami, a group which calls for an Islamist revolution and Islamic state in Pakistan.

An introductory pamphlet for ICNA in the U.S. describes a similar goal, "to achieve the pleasure of Allah through the establishment of the Islamic system in this land."

I wonder if this was included on the card that she was handing out to all those lowly Infidels at the fair?

I’ll be convinced when these ‘peaceful muslims’ start standing up to the radicals in their own religion. That’s the day I’ll believe them. Their silence to their ‘brethren’ speaks volumes to me.

The leaders seem to be at odds with changing image;

Muslim cleric calls for beheading of Dutch politician

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2582765/posts

A well-known Australian Muslim cleric has called for the beheading of Dutch anti-Islamic politician Geert Wilders, a newspaper said on Friday.

...The paper posted an English-language audio clip in which he refers to Wilders as “this Satan, this devil, this politician in Holland” and explains that anyone who talks about Islam like Wilders does should be executed by beheading.

“Each time a new wave of people exited, the young Minneapolis residents — who hadn’t eaten all day —”

OH THE HUMANITY!

“tried to press into their hands a small,”..

..Frag grenade?

“glossy card that read “Islam Explained” on one side. On the other, it had about 180 words of”..

...arabic scrawling with instructions of how to employ the device in suicide attacks on Infidels in Dar-Al-Harb.

Of course, this was just a training exercise and the Infidels had NO IDEA of what they were learning from their interaction with the peaceful locals in their attempt to see how close they could get w/o causing concern.

There, fixed it!

PORK AKBAR!

I’m hungry.

It makes it tough to believe them when they have 1500+ years of radical history. Did they change over night? I may be wrong, but I doubt it. Ban Sharia law from the United States......even if it has to become federal law.

Cancer cells circulate among the healthy cells handing out a book titled, “Cancer Explained,” which points out that not every cancer cell is invading a vital organ.

A well-known Australian Muslim cleric:
..Feiz Muhammad, who was born in Sydney (ca 1970) but at present seems to be living in Lebanon, became notorious for telling his followers at a public meeting in Bankstown that “women who were raped had incited men’s lust by dressing immodestly [‘Strapless, backless, sleeveless, nothing but satanic skirts, slit skirts, translucent blouses, miniskirts, tight jeans’] and only had themselves to blame.”

He advocated “strict male and female segregation”.

Satanic skirts?

OK.

Sure thing.

Tolerance anyone?

Matthew Chapter 7

15“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Peaceful muslims are only the ones who do not directly participate in violent jihad. They all pay into islamic charity which in turn funds the violent jihadis.

(Job 11:12). So Ishmael is called a “wild ass-man”; Hebrew (Ge 16:12). These Bedouin robbers, with the unbridled wildness of the ass of the desert, go forth thither. Robbery is their lawless “work.” The desert, which yields no food to other men, yields food for the robber and his children by the plunder of caravans.

One always gets the feeling that, despite their words, they would join the jihadists in a split second if push came to shove. I’m a Christian, not an idiot.

Hmmm....he doesn’t mention black leather, spikes and studs.

Is it safe for me to leave the house?

“It makes it tough to believe them when they have 1500+ years of radical history. Did they change over night?”

Yes, they morphed into “peaceful” muslims.

Bear in mind that woman is shoving cards with incomplete information about islam AND her involvement with the ICNA, an affiliated terrorist group with DIRECT ties to the muzzie brotherhood!

Could you imagine if you went to the NAACP meeting handing out cards about the peaceful klan movement you belong to?

That’s almost the equivalent of her actions but the klan is dead.
