CORRECTION: Dr. Edward Miller's note on Mexico 
should have read as follows:
"The Mexican border tragedy is but one result of 
Wasington's obeisance to 
the Farm Lobby.   As taxpayers with a   
agri-subservient Congress, we have 
recently awarded our multimillionaire 
agricultural interests with over $190 
Billion over ten years in "support"  ...."
The correction is $190 
billion (not $18 billion).

REF: OUR CRITICISM OF IMAM W.D. MUHAMMAD, one 
reader advises that our readers 
should first read the Imam's 
MUSLIM JOURNAL 
magazine and then decide. Her 
letter is as follows:
I welcome the challenge that the New Trend 
Magazine brings to the ummah.  We 
don't need to always agree to look at another 
viewpoint.  We need a wake up 
call in 
America 
and New Trend is it.  It is good 
to have people among us who 
are not afraid to express their views no matter 
how controversial.  I find it 
strange that none of the national leaders have 
directly answered any of New 
Trend's questions.  This would be a great 
opportunity for them to show the 
ummah that they truly are working in all areas 
(social, economic and 
political) for the ummah and not selfish 
interest.  I guess they haven't seen 
the questions yet.
You have made some strong statements about Imam 
WD Mohammed in some of your 
recent newsletters.  I would like all who want to 
know more to read the 
Muslim Journal newspaper (the middle section) 
weekly.  This is where Imam 
Mohammed's lectures are printed.  I am mentioning 
this to give all an 
opportunity to read for yourself what he has to 
say about politics, economics 
and social life.  It does not matter if you agree 
or not or support him or 
not.  I just felt someone from the ASM should 
answer your inquiries about his 
views.  It is best to read for yourself.  Again, 
it does not matter if you 
agree with him or not or support or not.  Just 
giving 
some information.
