DEFENSE OF IMAM SIRAJ WAHHAJ'S DISNEY ADVENTURE
[We are publishing the following letter IN TOTO
without any editing or
change. We dare Siraj Wahhaj's paper to publish
New Trend's letter with which we
attached the invitation to Disney distributed by
Siraj Wahhaj's group.]
May Allah forgive us all for our
shortcomings and may Allah bless you
for your good intent. May He forgive you if
your intentions are not of good.
Sometimes its hard to know directly who our
enemies are, but indirectly
most things are haram in
America.
But by far,
the worst enemy we have is
each other. Sometimes we Muslims make
assumptions of the worst kind of one
another without even asking. I pray often for
the forgiveness.
Just so you know it hurts me each and every
day as I learn of the losses
and abuses of my brothers and sisters in
Islamic countries. More close to
home for me, I hurt for my brothers and sisters
who are right here in the
United States who fear men more than they fear
Allah.
The saddest thing, brother, is that we have
mastered the technique of
pointing fingers at one another even when it is
someone whose intention is to
bring something positive to our communities.
You made time out of your daily schedule to
direct a negative attack on
us with regard to the advertisement which
contained Universal Studio in our
program. I found also astonishing, that you
honed right in on that, but yet
you completely ignored the fact that we are
bringing Muslims together from many
nationalities and cultures to Insha'Allah, bridge
the gaps which exist between
them. See, we as Muslims need dawah for
ourselves; we need to learn what
is proper and what isn't.
While we are busy nit-picking one another
for our honest efforts, our
children are being exposed to every possible
negativity that is here in this
world. Your biggest concern is where the
amusement is being held when the
country that you live in has legalized everything
Allah has forbidden ... and you
explicitly chose to select the
Jews
as a group.
In the meantime, brothers
and sisters here in America are being housed,
fed, and clothed by Jews,
Christians and countless others. They are even
HOUSING OUR DEAD!
You attack us, however; it is ICERS that
regularly provide its services
to our own brothers and sisters who are in need
of the support, no matter what
their nationality.
You attack us for reaching out to give dawah
to ourselves. Yet, the
very country you and I live in; the schools we
attend are run and operated by an
almost 100% haram governed nation. But you
choose to focus right into the
house of the Jews. Remember, The Prophet Musa
was raised in Pharaoh's house!
You and I both live in a country that is
owned, operated and run by Jews,
so it is hardly reasonable for you to choose
Universal Studios as a way to
attack me when the mission is much, much bigger
and for the greater good of our
people. It is our responsibility to help one
another. It is our duty by
Allah.
Insha'Allah I have found that I will never
be able to please everyone,
but it is my intent to try and save our children
from the diseases that await
them, attacking them from behind, in the front,
on both sides of them, on top
and around them.
Take a moment and look around you; this
society has captured our
children through amusement, music, games and now
they (devils) have developed a
homosexual organization called Al-Fatihah whose
founder and president is from a
foreign country. This organization is
targeting Muslim students. This
Al-Fatihah group took pictures of people dressed
like Muslims and they were men
and women making salat that says they are
homosexual. As you can see from
that alone the fight is not with only the Jews in
America or anywhere else its
with Shaitan and we can not continue to blame
Jews for the bad behavior held
within our own hearts. Take a look around
you. Our battle is bigger than
just amusement!
Our mission isn't to make Disney or
Universal Studio millions of
dollars, but it is to pull our Ummah together by
all means. Our focus is with
sharing dawah among the Muslims not among the
interfaith groups. Where many of the
orthodox Jews attends most of these interfaith
gathering. Many of our own
people rush to attend these interfaith
gatherings yet wont assist the Muslims
with becoming a better and stronger community.
Lets us start working toward righteousness
and stop just trying to be
right. Educate people toward righteousness.
We, must help our brothers and sisters to
stand up and speak out against
wrong doers in their own Islamic countries as
well. We must start working
with our brothers and sisters to help them help
themselves. Let's face it
brother not only are we dealing with social
illness and stress from seeing our
brothers and sisters being slaughtered in other
countries, homelessness, our
children going hungry and being housed by other
religious organizations, but
now we have an increase in transmitted diseases,
drugs, spousal abuse, child
molestation, teen pregnancies right here at our
own back doors.
ICERS is here to build institutions and if
it means entertainment is the
way to attract my youth through positive songs,
conferences, banquets so they
can hear the message and Insha'Allah, Allah
touches their hearts and the seal
is lifted and we save our children from the ill
of this society... I am going
to continue to fight and work toward proving to
the world that Allah says
that we are the best of people and I am going to
fight until Allah takes me.
I do believe what He says. Insha'Allah,
Allah have Mercy on us all!
PS. You're welcome to come and educate us! And to
receive the good blessing
from Allah if your intentions is of good!
Your sister in Deen,
Jamilah A. Jihad-Wahhaj

Brother
Kaukab Siddique,
you should have spoken
to our Imam Siraj Wahhaj
before sending out this mass e-mail, you attacked
his motive and his charater
without even speaking to him. I stand to correct
you, we're not holding our
program in Disney or in Universal studios. We
(organizers) cannot help that Disney
and Universal studios is located in Orlando,
Florida.
