“Five founders of the Holy Land Foundation, once the nation’s largest Muslim charity, have received prison terms of up to SIXTY FIVE years on charges of supporting the Palestinian group Hamas. The five were never accused of supporting violence and were convicted for funding charities that aided needy Palestinians. The government’s case relied on Israeli intelligence as well as disputed documents and electronic surveillance gathered by the FBI over a span of fifteen years.”

SIXTY FIVE years in prison for raising charity for the “wrong” side. While huge miscarriages of justice like this one are happening in America, I find it very, very hard to accept anything that Obama says.

What do you think of the increasing military offensive in Pakistan? Innocent Muslims have died as a result of Obama's push to focus on “terrorism” there.

I am sincerely asking, since I do not know – when the lives of Muslims are lost, do we ever stand behind the leader who allowed (or perhaps even encouraged) the injustice? (This doesn't even touch upon the fact that Obama's lawyers has publicly defended in court the spy tactics used by Bush's administration.)

jazak Allahu khayran.

Jazakallah Khairan and good luck with your exams!!! We pray for your success insha'allah.

“The best way to push Barack Obama to face up to his responsibility in America, in the Middle East or elsewhere is for Muslims to start by facing up to their own without blindly demonizing America or the West or naively idealizing a charismatic African-American US President.” -Tariq Ramadan

…neither demonize the west nor idealize a man based on his gracefulness and elegance with words…
