More Americans turning to Islam after September 11

Washington D.C: Nearly 1,450 Americans, mostly women, have embraced Islam in the city of Oklahama during the last one year during which, Jewish-controlled US media launched its most feverish campaign against the so-called Islamic terrorism. This has been revealed in the report from Rehana Bastiwala in the Mumbai-based Urdu daily, Inquilab on her return from a trip to the United States. The burgeoning number only testifies the heightened interest in Islam following the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11 last year. More people are now reaching for authentic literature on Islam and getting to know the religion from its original sources. Most of the new converts are under 40.

Oklahama has just five mosques and all mosques now impart Islamic teachings. Even the imam of the Ansar Mosque, is a black neo-convert to Islam, Suhaib. There are 10,000 Muslims in Oklahama. They are highly educated and most of them are professionals. Nabeel Khan is the deputy imam of the mosque. According to Khan, the American police establishment tightened vigil against Muslims after the September 11 incidents, but now things have quietened a bit, though several Arab students are still being denied immigration. Several prisoners studied Islam in prison libraries and embraced Islam.

However, Muslims are fear-stricken as several people who were taken for interrogation have not returned to their homes. Nothing is being told about their whereabouts. A Muslim taxi driver arrested from Washington D.C. has disappeared in similar circumstances. It is said his driving licence was issued coinciding with the driving licence of Atta Mohammad, the prime accused in the WTC bombing.

Civic freedoms have been severely circumscribed due to the new Public Law under which people could be arrested and taken to undisclosed destinations, could be tried for undisclosed charges in any court. The law makes it mandatory for the accused to consult with their lawyers in the presence of the police. Majority of Americans are opposed to restriction of such personal freedom, but people are afraid of raising their voice.

Why would anyone use the thousands of inosent casualties from more than 80 nations to prostilitize their faith?

Why is Al Queda Islams PAC ?

Hate Speech Alert

Even the imam of the Ansar Mosque, is a black neo-convert to Islam, Suhaib.

Well hush my mouf and stuff it full of sweet potato pie...

They are highly educated and most of them are professionals.

Sure they are ..I agree they are professionals...but highly educated?..must be all those free college courses offered in prision..

Muslims are fear-stricken as several people who were taken for interrogation have not returned to their homes.

Yes we live in fear of the Jewish controlled media, government, and police..

But people are afraid of raising their voice.

Not So Far........
CAIR seems to be doing a heck of a job with that millions in petrol dollars they keep slinging at (Jewish owned) Madison Ave. PR firms..and lobbying -even the President of the United States and the Sec of State...

As soon as Islam, as a political institution, stops useing Al Queda as a Political Action Committee to get it's message to me, the American voter, I might listen. But as of 9/11/2001, your causes are damned in my country for the rest of your life.

Islams only hope ? Fathom, internalize, understand, and implement the belief that terrorism is not an acceptable form of political speech, and then maybe, just maybe, sometime in the next millenium, the next generation of freedom loving people on this planet might lend a sympathetic ear.

But as the beheading of Daniel Pearl, passover masscre in israel, abu sayef in the phillipines, Abu Nidal turning up harbored in Iraq, the French oil tanker, Bali bombing more than 216 dead , Russian theatre goers taken hostage out of ignorance, shows, the world does not see Islam moving in that direction.

. . and that's sad.

Not exactly a reliable source.

Islam does nothing in the way of condeming the people who do terrorism. We may hear a sentence or two in that vein, or an article may even be entitled something to that affect - but it is always surrounded by their propoganda.

The image problem they have is not because the media is out to get them, it is because they have done nothing to make their image other then what it is.

I had to read that sentence a few times myself. Any sentence where I cannot pronounce half the words is on shaky ground.

I wonder if the feds might use Islams bias toward women against them. If they out female agents into the muslim community the muslims would never expect it.

Principally, those to stupid to realize that there was a religion that would praise their violent and hateful ways, giving it a veneer of acceptability.

"Kill the disbelievers wherever we find them" (Koran 2:191)

"Ye are the best of peoples evolved for mankind." (Koran 3:110)

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be to be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet and genitals cut off, or to be expelled out of the land. Such will be their humiliation in the world, and in the next world they will face an awful horror." (Koran, 5:33-34)

From a female point of view, if there is a hint of truthfulness, it sounds like a bunch of desperate women turning to these islamic fanatics, who want citizenship real bad, marrying them and to keep family harmony turn to islamic religion out of desperation. They can take Mohammed, Allah, and the Koran and flush them down the john.

Only 1,450 in a nation of over 200 million? And, in a state with over 10,000 Muslims? Why do the words "big deal" come to mind?

Anyone whose job requires a secruity clearance and then converts to Islam should lose their clearance and their job. Islam is a greater internal security risk now than Communism was at its peak.

Yep, right after the second plane hit the tower, my wife said to me, "honey, we've got to convert to Islam."

I really can't tell you what she said exactly, but it was something like: (Clean version) "We have to start killing those people in very large numbers."

They claim women converts and not men because nobody sees their women anyway, so how can we know they're lying?

The people from the United States who turn to Islam are usually the mental cases like John Mohammed and other misfits. Islam should be outlawed in the USA, because it creates the violent and the savages like in Nigeria and Chechyna, and the USA needs no more of this. Islam and freedom just do not go together in one place. Islam was the common denominator of all men who hijacked airplanes and killed 3,000 people in the USA, and not to recognize this is just to invite more. If Muslims did not want to be idenitfied with murderers, they would not claim to be Islamic, and would distance themselves from it. If the shoe fits, let them wear it. Murderers and those who support murder deserve no pity. I think they have a lot of nerve to expect to be pitied.

Everyday, I experience contempt for Islam and for muslims. Everyday my contempt for them grows. Can we please eject this filth from the country ASAP?
