Muslims discover America, Film at 11.
Editorial in the Charlotte Observer by Jibril Hough, president of the Charlotte North Carolina chapter of the Islamic Political Party of America rewrites history. Hat tip to LGF, EFL:It is important for the American public to know that although this political movement by Muslims may be somewhat new, Muslims have been a part of the fabric of this society, in some fashion, since before Columbus. Muslim explorers visited the West Coast long ago. Arabic writings have been found in some caves in California. The name "California" comes from the Arabic word calif, meaning ruler or leader. I'll bet Grey Davis has a bejeweled turban in his closet. The Declaration of Independence possesses Islamic concepts. Also, 30 percent to 40 percent of the Africans who were enslaved, kidnapped and brought to this country were Muslims. Really, you mean the Muslim Arabs were enslaving, kidnapping, and selling their Muslim brothers? Some of these built the U.S. Capitol building. The descendants of others were lynched and attacked as they fought to gain the right to vote and for self-determination. Since Sept. 11, 2001, Muslims have seen many changes in the place we call home. Our civil/religious liberties have been attacked by the likes of the so-called Patriot Act. We all remember watching as the muslims were arrested and marched into those camps in Montana. Right? This, coupled with the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and the continued unbalanced policy towards Israel and Palestine, gives Muslims many reasons to become more politically active -- as well as exercising our right to vote as we look towards an American "regime change" in 2004.
