To the Muslims that live in the United States:
Please forgive my boldness to speak out but I have remained silent too long.
I am a United States citizen. I was born in this country and am very proud of what we as a country have accomplished in the world up until the last few decades.
After World War II our country became involved in trying to spread democracy as we know it. That is wrong thinking for a government of a society such as that in the USA. The world can take us as an example but we should not try and force our way on any other country.
After saying that I am very proud of the way the USA will come to the aid of those that are in need around the world. We are not a selfish nation and will do anything to bring peace and harmony across the continents when called upon by other nations.
Our political leaders have gotten out of control lately. We The People no longer control our government as we used to. The people had much more power back in the earlier part of the twentieth century. We were much more united then.
After World War II that ended somehow. I was just a boy at the time but I could tell the difference. Our government began to act independently from what the majority of the citizens wanted it to do.
To make a long story short we the people of the United States have been silent too long. As you have seen in the recent past election and will see more of it in the future, we the people of this country are beginning to show our disapproval of our government and the actions taken by them. We are beginning to speak out.
Now it is your time to do the same. Many citizens in this country are asking why you have not come out with a strong statement up until now.
Fate has brought our cultures together. Please think about why you live where you live now. Did you come over to the United States of America because you felt safe and felt that you could pursue happiness as you saw fit? Is it because you felt accepted no matter which part of the Muslim community you came from?
Whether Sunni, Shiite or any other branch of the Muslim community you were accepted as a visitor and then as a citizen later on. Some of you are still waiting to become citizens but you have embraced our society. That means you owe society your respect and your loyalty. You also gain respect and loyalty by being part of that society. That is how it works in our country even though it does not seem to be that way now.
We all remain strong as a country if we remain UNITED. We cannot be strong as the DIVIDED states.
Therefore I beg of you to come forward with your profession of respect and loyalty for the country in which you live. Let all of the citizens of this great country know that you stand with them against any foreign or domestic threat.
What will this do you might ask?
It will bring your community closer together as a unit in this country and it will cement your relationship with the rest of the US society. It will bring about more security for you because of all the new friends and confidants that you will gain by stepping out and professing your displeasure and your condemnation of anyone who takes part in attacking innocent people.
The public in this country are not combatants and we have no other means to effect change other than elections and peaceful transitions. We have succeeded to keep the White House and Military apart from the Congress so we have a definite division in authority with each carrying the same power. We have kept it that way for over two hundred years now. We will be able to effect change in our government’s actions by elections and such but if we have an internal problem between communities we are facing much worse problems in the future.
We are a nation with armed citizens in every corner of our country. It would be impossible for any other government to take our country because of that. We have so many citizens that would give their life for their country and with the heavy weaponry that has been maintained “underground” with the militias across the USA, we are too strong of a country to try and conquer from without. We can be conquered from within by having internal turmoil occur between different communities. That is what is brought on by “Nationalism” that borders on bigotry which is starting to creep into our society.
It is up to each of us in this country to keep that from happening. We must come together as a nation and stand UNITED to show our strength. Not just our physical strength but our mental strength as well. There is much to be said about the power of many minds united in one thought or attitude.
The Muslim community must come out with a strong statement and a strong stance against any type of terrorism being deployed across the world in the name of Islam or in the name of Allah. The Creator that I have my faith based upon would not accept any suicide bomber into a high place in the Kingdom that we all wish to be part of in the next life. Many texts have been written specifically referring to the action of killing innocents and the punishment of death that accompanies these types of actions. Taking of one’s own life is specifically condemned as wasteful and fruitless. No creation can kill another creation without a reason.
If one has to take the life of a creature for means of food then one should thank the Creator for having this available and to take the spirit of that creature immediately to paradise. If one is attacked by another and has to kill in self defense then once again the attacked must ask for forgiveness for having to commit this action. Our Creator will judge and deal with the attacker and it is not ours to take revenge on this person. That is why killing of any other creation is not what our Creator wishes us to do however as merciful as our Creator is there are allowances made for humans to work through this life in order to qualify for the next. Otherwise none of us would qualify after going through life here on this planet today. There is so much controversy around.
Please strive to unite your Muslim community in this country and come out with one voice. Condemn the actions taken by the part of your community that is causing death and tragedy across the world. Come out with a strong voice uniting with the rest of the citizens of the USA against any foreign or domestic element trying to cause violence and death in this country as well.
Teach in your Mosques that it is wrong to hate any other person for their government’s actions.
Teach that it is wrong to be a suicide bomber and the person who blows up is immediately dead to the universe. There is no paradise for this person their spirit dies immediately. There is no spirit only death when one takes that kind of action.
Our Creator has specified certain actions for us to live by. Mohammed mentioned this many times in his teachings which were put together in your Koran and our Bible based on the same Creator that we all believe in.
Do you think it is coincidence that Jews, Christians, Muslims and all of the other monotheistic groups believe in the same Creator, the Creator of the entire universe? It is the same Creator that we all have to answer to when it comes time to report on what we did with our blessings and our lives.
Killing is one of the most specific things mentioned in all text written about our Creator and our life here on earth. This planet will be used by our Creator to bring about a Kingdom that is set up the way it was intended from the beginning. The evil spirit that is causing all of the controversy across the world is put away and unable to influence anyone’s spirit. The perfect Kingdom is set up with all living together in peace and harmony.
The US Muslim community must come out in a public way as long as it takes for everyone across the country to understand that you and your community pose no threat to the general society here. This is important for many reasons such as the security for your community.
I know you are afraid of the bad element in your community and that you feel you will be punished by them if you come out publicly against them. This may be true for a while but the rest of us will come to your side and fight with you against that element to put it down. First it must be identified and at this time it is hiding among your community and ours. It is not just within the Muslim community that this element exists but within the general population there is much consternation about what we will be facing next. If your community shows their United States of America loyalty the rest of the USA will be there for them to help in any way we can I assure you.
We are not like the country you came from. Freedom and liberties are very dear to our beliefs and harmony living together is what we strive for in this nation. At least the majority of us feel that way and we can control the rest if necessary.
One thing about this country that is true and always will be is that when the need arises we will fight together for our freedom against any foe.
We are such a strong opponent no other country has thought about defeating us but we are weakened by our divisions within the country and that must be dealt with soon.
Please have your community come out with a strong voice and make the media cover the events. Call all networks and let them know how you feel. Go on television and local radio to let the community know how you feel. Try in every way to get across to the rest of the citizens of this country that you will help defend it against any evil element.
Of course all of this is dependent on whether you want to live in harmony and peace in the first place. Do you want to have a safe and happy place for your children to grow up in? You left your birth country for a reason. You have to examine what that reason was and if you stand for peace, harmony and the pursuit of happiness for every citizen of this country.
If you do not stand for this it would behoove you to leave now while you can. There is no chance of that evil element to succeed in this country because no one will stand for it. Terrorism does not work in this country for long. It might surprise and weaken those closest to the action but the rest of us will come to their aid and will defeat anything standing in our way. That is the nature of this country and it’s citizens. That is the type of Nationalism that is strong and healthy for a country. Won’t you get your community to join the rest of us in voicing your opposition to the evil element at work in the world today?
I am sending this to you with the hopes that one community will influence another until our country is united into one strong nation again.
May our Creator bless you and your families and protect us through this trial we are all going through.
Sincerely,
jayeye
