Salaam, Shalom, Peace, Pax, Aman, & Shanti:

We are an AJMA, “congregation” of the Muslims, Christians, Jews, Sikhs, and others. AJMA (www.ajma.org) is an American association of “the physical and spiritual progeny of the children of Abraham”; but also Atheists, Agnostics, Democrats, Republicans, Greens, & others building, a Tikkun community, based on the higher ideals of our faiths and the principles of tolerance & harmony, also embodied in Kabalism & Sufism.

We are the voice of Modernist, Westernized, Moderate, Liberal & Enlightened souls that seek to focus in on the positive, reaching out to a demonized community.

Like Rev. Martin Luther King we have a dream. We dream of rebuilding the Jewish-Christian-Muslim symbiosis of Al-Andulusia (Spain), the ecumenical harmony of the Ottomans, & Akbar’s Mughal India fostering “covivencia” among all communities in the USA & Europe today.

Using Said Nursi’s and Farangi Mahal’s (www.farangimahal.com) Non-Violence, Gandhi’s “ahmisa”, Pope John Paul IIs, Presbyterian, Unitarian, Quaker Folkalore ecunemical vision,& Tikkun (healing & rebuilding),our slogan is: “Each time there is a terror act, we should form new relationships among our community.”

Inspired by our prophets and God, we struggle against Anti-Semitism, Islamphobia, Anti-Americanism, Anti-Christianism, bigotry and hatred. Seeking “truth to justice”, we struggle for the civil rights of our fellow Americans, completing the American Revolution.

Involving churches, synagogues, schools, temples & mosques we present our research (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AJMA/files/)& brochures to build bridges. We engage authors and personalities to seek guidance & help on challanging untruths in the media.

We work with many organizations that work for peace. JOIN US, if you DARE to struggle for justice, march for peace, collect donations for disaster victims, & want to build bridges of harmony among Americans & form from our USA, & Europe to the world.

Islamphobia

Tennessee hotel dumps Islamphobic bigots

In Uncategorized on May 31, 2009 at 4:38 pm

There is a silver lining to the dark clouds spread by the hate mongers. A meeting of the White trash and scum of the earth Europeans was recently canceled in Nashville.

The Rupert Murdock media aided by the Neocons constantly write negative pejoratives about Muslims and spread malicious lies. All this reminds one of the malicious campaign against the Jews during the Wiemar Republic in Europe as eloquently described by Albert Speer in his seminal book titled “Inside the 3rd Reich”. Albert Speer was one of the closest confidantes of Adolph Hitler and wrote his book while in prison after the Nuremberg trials. Albert Speer smuggled his book out of prison with the help of friendly guards. Albert Speer’s book shed light on the propaganda campaign waged against the Jews to demonize them in the civic society. Once dehumanized and demeaned it was easy to kill, murder, maim, rape and burn them. The world looked the other way while 6 million Jews were sent to the gas chambers. The St. Lous full of thousands of Jewish escapes made it to Havana but was not allowed to dock in America and was sent back to Germany.

Loews Pulls Plug on Islamophobe Symposium By Jack Silverman in Immigration, Politics, Silverman Friday, May. 29 2009 @ 6:26AM

Shouldn’t we strive to get along, like the folks above? According to New English Review, the answer is a resounding “No.”

Judging from the reader comments, the folks at New English Reviewand their sympathizers were none too thrilled with our preview of their symposium “Understanding the Jihad in Israel, Europe and America,”which was scheduled to be held at Nashville’s Loews Vanderbilt this weekend. (Epithets such as “multicultural fool,” “f&cking hypocrite,” “uneducated arrogant pompous fool,” “jackshit suckass” and “Mr. Silverdouche” come to mind.)

Now it seems that Loews Vanderbilt has pulled the plug on the symposium, whose lineup includes a variety of speakers who all share the view that Islam is inherently evil and is the root of all our problems. (Apparently it hasn’t occurred to these folks that by making such absurd generalizations–in essence, suggesting that all Muslims are radical extremists or terrorists who want you dead–they’re playing right into the extremists’ hands, providing them with more fodder for recruitment, and alienating moderate Muslims with whom we should be seeking to improve relations.)

It is profitable to degrade Muslims and denigrate Islam and speak up against the prophet Muhammad. Luckily the majority of Americans do not tolerate Islamphobia which is illegal in the USA. Despite very tough hate laws there is a coterie of bigots that that support racism. This cabal of Islamphobes goes around spreading a constant drumbeat of xenophobic nonsense.

Dumping Orientalism

Out of the various strategies employed by the Modern Orientalists is to exaggerate the problem, scare the people, list unrelated points, and join the dots in a manner that it serves their purpose of creates a rationale for their thesis or action items.

The headlines about Pakistan in the media: Understanding the Rupert Murdock Neocon Hinduvata doomsayer machine which is running scared of defeat and retreat Discarding Racism bigotry & Orientalism to the trash can of history “Orientalism” is based on hubris, bigotry, power, racism, lust for territory, and greed for resources. It paints an incorrect, false and negative caricature of the Orient/East/Islam and then offers “solutions” to fix the false image through crusades, colonialism, “fake sponsored democracy”, and “false sense of emancipation”. All these “solutions” are counterproductive and have nothing to do with the reality of the Orient/East/Islam.

Challenging Orientalism

From a blog post at New English Review titled “Loews Bows to Intimidation”:

The hotel that was hosting our symposium has bowed to intimidation. They cancelled our plans due to concerns for the “health, safety and welfare of their employees and other guests.”

According to the New English Review’s symposium schedule, the event “will be held at an [sic] secure, undisclosed location.”

When called by the Scene, Loews Vanderbilt had no comment, which leaves the cause for the cancellation open to speculation. Did Loews get threatening emails or calls? Did they figure out what the symposium was about, and fear alienating guests and employees who may be Muslim? Or did they just decidethey didn’t want to have anything to do with these agents of intolerance? It’s anyone’s guess.

In related news, the Scenewas thrilled to learn we were featured on the blog Bare Naked Islam, whose slogan is, “It isn’t Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you.” Another feather in our cap.

How do we stop this nonsense?

The President of the United States of America has Muslim relatives and knows many real Muslims. He has to take a very strong stand against Islamphobia. If he worries about the lobbies in Washington, he will be doing a great disservice to land of the free. Silence is acquiescence.

Why didn't Muslims condemn violence?

Why don’t Muslims condemn violence? or does it go unreported?

In Islam on November 21, 2008 at 1:08 am

THE CONDEMNATION BLAME GAME IS A TRAP: COLLECTIVE GUILT ASSIGNED TO MUSLIMS IS A WAR CRIME:

Muslims refuse to take foster parentage of the morass of foreign policy failures that perpetuate this cycle of blowback and violence

There is an entire industry around hate. The Neo-KKK is active in different ways. They now have code words. “Immigration issues” for “Hate all foreigners, specially Mexicans“, “Anti-Cirme” for “Hate blacks”, “Anti-Terrorism” for “Islamophobia“. Hate sells and in this open hunting season on Muslims, hate mongering has done wonders for the career of some Talk Radio hosts.

About 6 decades ago the anachronistic “sippenhaft” was buried into the catafalque of history at Nuremberg. Collective guilt and punishment is an egregious violation of human rights and a war crime. It has no place in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Attempts to resurrect the desiccated sarcophagus of “collective guilt” (Japanese internment, Jewish Holocaust, Soviet Gulag) from the catacombs of depravation will fail. Muslims refuse to take foster parentage of the morass of foreign policy failures that perpetuate this cycle of blowback and violence. Empire building and Imperial hubris has repercussions.The powers to be have to think of the consequences of creating evil. The Frankenstein monster like Rabbi Eliyahu of Chelm’s mythical Golen came after it’s maker. How many remember the lessons from the broomstick in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

We want to anathematize this mantra of “holding all Muslims responsible” for the actions of the scum that was nurtured in the Augean stables of national corruption (CIA’s drug trade, Iran-Contra etc), trained as anti-communists in xenophobic camps during the 80s, and used as human cannon fodder against the USSR by the likes of the hedonistic Charlie Wilson who were luxuriating in leafy complexes on the Potomic. “Collective guilt” has reached its final destination in the sepulcher of chauvinism. The notion of “Mass apologies” (for the crimes of others) has to be eviscerated and buried deep in the polyandrium of bigoted Jingoism. You are responsible for your actions and so am I. I am not responsible for the actions of everyone in New Jersey. I am also not responsible for the actions of everyone who claims to be a Muslim.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Some misquote the Quran and then builds the case about the entire religion. One could do the same for the Bible, picking up a few lines from Deuteronomy or Numbers and then making a case about the entire religion-bringing up Blood Libel and the Holocaust etc.

Every head of state, from Iran, to Indonesia, to Pakistan, to Egypt condemned 9/11 and violence against the innocent civilians. The OIC (Organization or Islamic Conferences), the Arab League, and every major Muslim politicians in the West and in the Muslim world condemned violence. The question is does every Muslim have to condemn violence. Does every Christian and every Jew asked to do the same each time there is a serial murder, or a gang bang or a rape in New York or LA?
