The American Muslim community has provided woeful substance to our young brothers and sisters; substance to feel that they are and can be legitimately Muslim here in America.

It is well known that the War on Terror waged by the United States and its allies led to aggression and injustice against countries, organizations, groups and individuals. Perhaps the worst example of this brutality against individuals was that meted out to our Muslim sister in Islam, Aafia Siddiqui and her three small children.

Apparently, a Minnesota Church recently bought an advertisement in the St. Cloud Times to bring attention to the “Moslem Threat” in America. In it, Pastor Dennis Campbell does his best to scare the Obama-hating crucifixes off his Christian constituency by outlining the preferred ‘Moslem’ method of takeover. Read More
