Must read piece from a friend of mine.
Muslim Canadian Congress Opposes Building Mosque
By: Juhina
While many American’s have voiced overwhelming support for the
initiative to build a new mosque in downtown Manhattan near the trade
center landmark, we have seditious organizations like the Muslim
Canadian Congress spewing their familiar sophist rhetoric in opposition
to this proposal.
Representatives from the MCC have flown to New York today in order
to publicly denounce having this mosque built. They claim that it is a
“fitnah” i.e. a mischief-making practice condemned in the Quran itself.
I urge the MCC to read the Quran more carefully.
Where in God’s Holy book does it say that building houses of worship are tantamount to acts of mischief-making?
Where in God’s Holy book does it say that Muslims with good intentions
should refrain from building mosques in which peace and glorification
of God are paramount?
Where in God’s Holy book does it say that it is acceptable to make
assumptions about the intentions of their fellow Muslims [i.e. in
reference to the statement that “the mosque is meant to be a deliberate
provocation, to thumb our noses at the 'infidel.”]?
Why is the MCC drawing the conclusion that building a mosque is equivalent to supporting the acts of those who perpetrated 911?
Every type of religious community in New York City has sent forth a
representative to voice their support for the mosque project. This
includes Protestant ministers, Catholic Priests, Monks, Jewish Rabbis,
and clergy members of other faiths.
Why then do we have a religious organization who claims to have the
best interests of the Muslim community in mind, alleging to be Islamic
itself, raging against the idea of building the mosque?
It is completely understandable and inevitable that in a democratic
society, there will be groups who oppose this project. The basis of a
democracy is that there will always be those in favor and those in
opposition, and no single policy or initiative will acquire complete
unanimity. But to hear such bigoted intolerance coming from a purported
Muslim group professing to represent the majority of “moderate”
Muslims, is absurd.
Mayor Bloomberg is quoted as saying: “It is my hope that the mosque
will…help repudiate the false and repugnant idea that the attacks of
9/11 were in any ways consistent with Islam.”
The MCC should take this advice to heart and rid itself of its
discriminatory narrow sightedness, support the Muslim initiative, and
abandon this hypocritical platform of deceit.
Please take a moment to voice your own concerns to the MCC. This is
a propagandist organization that impedes on the rights of Muslims
nationwide, and it is our obligation to condemn their words and actions
by professing our censure and discontent.
