I did a search and didn't see this article. If it's been posted before, I apologize. But I commend him for being so honest. I've often wondered whether or not the American Muslim community leaders were ever truly "outraged" by what happened to us. Well, If you have a chance, please visit his website. He has stuff published on here before!!

Yes, this is very good but it has already been posted. Please do a search before posting something.

Thanks.

I did do a search and it came back with nothing. However, I wasn't able to get back on FreeRepublic for a few hours this week. Very weird issues with the ISP today. Figures, @home just isn't very reliable these days!

He said he did a search. Please read a post before telling someone not to post.

WOW! That is beautiful. Will the Muslims listen?

[AppyPappy]

Did a search on 'memo' and 'muslim' and BANG!

[Dudoight]

I for one, am glad it was reposted it, I missed it the first time around.

There are so few Muslims like this.

If there are more, where have they been?

I appreciate his statements, however, I've yet to see any local arab muslims reach out to my community. They operate businesses and take our money but it's rare to see them interacting with Americans in any other situation. The silence of the very large arab muslim community is frightening. I find myself wondering if they were silently celebrating the deaths of innocent people on September 11th. Finding out that a local man, Herndon VA, was questioned by the FBI for delivering special batteries to the mass murderer, Osama, adds to the suspicion. They need to assimilate with non-muslims and learn to be respectful of other people.

How can the message of Muhammad (pbuh) who was sent as mercy to mankind become a source of horror and fear? How can Islam inspire thousands of youth to dedicate their lives to killing others? We are supposed to invite people to Islam not murder them.

As far as I have learned in recent weeks, the prophet Mohammed was a murdering military conquerer and a rapist. Correct me if I am wrong about that.

I am not a Christian, but I don't recall Jesus taking captives by force, spreading his word by the sword, and forcing women into his bed.

Great post!

Its about time that muslims, islamics, mohammedans or whatever they call themselves, stand with freedom and justice against the murdering lunatics that have been perpetrating terror throughout the world!

Please do a search for complaints about a post before suggesting that complainers read a post before complaining about it, or before suggesting that a post or complaint be complained about before or after searching for posting complaints. ;D

When President Bush called Islam a great religion he wasn't saying it was a true religion, only that it was a big one and that it was generally peaceful.

Jesus did not.

Unfortunately, the Church in violation of his example and principles did just what you describe, for the better part of 1,600 years.

Dr. Khan has an interesting way of being objective ... The Israeli occupation of Palestine is perhaps central to Muslim grievance against the West. While acknowledging that, I must remind you that Israel treats its one million Arab citizens with greater respect and dignity than most Arab nations treat their citizens. The Semitic races of Jews and Arabs both derive from Abram/Abraham and thus Jewish presence in the area is as natural and un-occupational as it can be when viewed with the keen lens of human history. Actually, I would bet a man as brillaint as Dr. Khan would acknowledge the rightful place of Jews in the area, but that would be over the top if he's trying to reason with irrational Islamicists.

Great Post! Thanks for posting.

Tragically, you are right. But that is about the evil that men do, not about the core message of the religion, as is apparently the case with Islam.

[Libertina]

Excellent article, I hope many Muslims and Muslim leaders read it.

A coupla items....all true....

NYPD cops guarding mosques in the city are totally ignored by the muslims they are guarding, no offers of a drink, to use the facilities, a simple hello or thank you

On LI an eigth grade teacher asked her class how this was being handled in the home. Some schoolmates had lost parents. A 13 year old muslim said that his family was "celebrating". This was @9/13. The kid has not been back to school yet.

Last week on Queens Blvd in Forest Hills, Queens the NYPD chased a car that ran a light. The two Afgan occupants were taken into custody after a small arsenal, multiple IDs and detailed info on bridges and tunnels were found in the car. They were taken to the pct. house on Austin Street where the FBI collected them.

All true...none made the news
