CAIR ATTEMPT TO INVOLVE U.S. Muslims in LONDON GUILT

• At the individual level, we should sympathize with people who have been hurt in the London attacks. It is natural to be sympathetic. All human beings suffer pain, bleed, have families and in that sense we are with them.
• However, the idea that the entire body of American Muslims should condole with the British is damaging for the self-respect and dignity of American Muslims. It implies that somehow ALL of us are to be held responsible for what happened and we should hurry to show our innocence before something happens to us.
• As citizens of the U.S. we are responsible as individuals for what we do. No U.S. Muslim is involved in the London attacks. Even if one were involved, only that person would be held responsible, not the whole community.
• If there is a principle according to which the entire Muslim community should condole when a tragedy takes place, consider the tragedies which have preceded London. CAIR did not ask anyone to condole with the people of Baghdad, Najaf, Fallujah, Ramadi, Baquba, Mosul and other Iraqi cities.
• According to Lancet magazine, 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed in coalition air strikes in Iraq. Muslim groups like CAIR, aligned with the Bush-Blair team did not condole with the Iraqis.
• The people of Fallujah were subjected to house-to-house, mosque-by-mosque destruction DURING RAMADAN, with the horrific attacks continuing DURING the night of LAYLATUL QADR. There was no CAIR or U.S. outcry on this, let alone formal condolence.
• As a documentary titled TALIBAN COUNTRY [produced by an Australian woman] indicates, Afghanistan is being subjected to a reign of terror by the U.S. military. Earlier, during the war itself, hundreds of Afghan villages were destroyed in U.S. air attacks, Kandahar itself being subjected to a rain of bombs. Not a squeak was heard on this matter from U.S. Muslim entities like CAIR.
• The Muslim world is bleeding at revelations of torture in Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay and Afghanistan. The QUR'AN ITSELF HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY DESECRATED.
  [In a round about way the U.S. admitted that the Qur'an was urinated on and placed on, if not in, a urinal.]
  CAIR bleated a little about the need for investigation but no condemnation and no condolences.
• HOW SHOULD U.S. MUSLIMS RESPOND TO THE LONDON BOMBINGS?:
  Here are a few suggestions:
• Never think that you will be able to appease the people in power by subservience, "uncle tomming," and "we are not bad guys" pleading. The Zionists who have taken over this great country will walk over you if you prostrate yourself in front of them.
• Do not break the law. Know your rights. If you sense that you will be persecuted or your rights will be violated, get an attorney.
• You don't need a subservient organization like CAIR to help you. Your local MOSQUE should be your center of support. Mobilize your mosque for this situation. In the LONG RUN there is no alternative to local roots and support.
• Your non-Muslim neighbors, next door and across the street and across town, at your job, should know you as a person who cares, is decent and helpful and supportive of good causes.
• DEPRESSION is common in situations like this where misleaders like CAIR urge Muslims to kow tow to the embassy of an aggressive military power which has occupation forces in two Muslim countries and which is hand-in-glove with Israel.
• DEAL WITH DEPRESSION by making sure you carry out the FIVE obligatory prayers. Do some good cooking for people whom you care for. Go for a long walk. Make extra prayers at night, especially late night Tahajjud.
• Tell yourself: My supporters are Allah, His messenger and the believers. I am part of an UMMAH of ONE BILLION plus people. Say this repeatedly to yourself.
• If depression continues, go to your local mosque, clean and dust the floor and sides. Shine the windows. Make sure all the books are arranged properly.
• Still depressed? Take a mop and cleaning fluids and clean the bathroom of the mosque.
• After that, go home and call your relatives and friends. Tell them that you believe in Allah and His messenger and you seek forgiveness for your sins.
• Every morning and evening, embrace your spouse and your children [if any] and tell them that you believe that all power belongs to Allah. Speak it out. Don't be shy.
