Fw: Arab Americans and American Muslims Are at Risk

[Rafi Nawfer]

Assalamu alaikum:

The end paragraph of the article is a sobering reminder where we stand:

When the GOP launched its 2010 campaign against the construction of an Islamic Center in lower Manhattan and when the majority of GOP presidential candidates in 2012 stated that they would require special loyalty oaths from any Muslim who sought to serve in government, damage was done. But Arab Americans and American Muslims have responsibilities, as well. The communities must do more to make themselves known through civic engagement, education, and political empowerment. If the poll's declining favorable ratings teach us anything it is that passivity has consequences. The challenge is clear and must be met.

	IslamiCity.com - Arab Americans and American Muslims Are at Risk Source: islamicity.com What we found was that there has been a continued erosion in the favorable ratings Americans have of both Arabs and Muslims, posing a threat to the civil rights and political inclusion of both Arab Americans and American Muslims. For example, in 2010 favorable ratings for Arabs were 43 percent.

As Salaam Alaikum & jazak Allah Khair for sending this out,

Absolutely True! We must engage ourselves in politics, local, state and federal levels of government. That is what the Zionists have done and who control the politics and policies of the US Government. First we must start with local civic positions, on school PTA's, Boys & Girl Scout Troops, Neighborhood watch & homeowners associations etc and get Americans to see that we are just like them. The Zionist Controlled media is doing their best to demonize Islam & Muslims on TV & Hollywood. There are ignorant Church leader promoting the Zionist Agenda without realizing that they are the Anti-Christ. Lets participate in the community projects, volunteer etc. I know we are all very busy with our jobs, families, Masjids etc but we must make & take the time to get involved to make a positive difference and name for ourselves. I'm willing to meet/ gather our community and strategize on how and where to start.
