Why Muslim silence on Justice?

This is an article published to the editor to the OC Register newspaper, Ca. USA, Sept 60, 2010

Dear Mr. Hussam Ayloush of the Council of American-Islamic Relations. You accuse me

and many other Americans of being ignorantly unaware of your social plight as a Muslim.

Here is what I am aware of your silence.

Where were your indignant voices of protest when the USS Cole as attacked by the Muslim? Or, on 9/11, when the World Trade Center came down? Or as this national graveyard lay broken and smoldering; words of protest when scenes of wild jubilation in the streets of Muslim nations appeared on millions of television screens across the world?

Or, the Fatwas issued against Salman Rushdie and the Danish cartoonist (or any other “infidel” as defined by your religious leaders)? Where are you words of shame when Muslim families send their young people, with explosives strapped to their bodies, into throngs of innocent unsuspecting people? Or, the practice of “honor killings,” of one’s own daughters? Or, the stoning perceived offenders as we have today

Though Muslims have been strangely silent these past 10 years on these issues, they haven been idle. They’ve been busy becoming bullies a UC Irvine and other venues around Orange County, including intolerance evident by rude behavior toward and invited, honorable speaker on campus. This incident, coupled with numerous complaints of abuse toward other Jewish students, do not enhance your image. No, I am not Jewish. I also am not blind or deaf. Muslims have told us who they really are.

It is no wonder that I, and a majority of Americans ( consult many polls on this subject ), objest to the proposed Mosque as near the virtual graveyard of thousands of our fellow Americans. We are aware of your ethnic pride in erecting structures, symbolic or your religion, on or near the site of what you consider as “conquered” territory. Not this time, sir. We will resist you every step ot the Way.
