Subject:
February 15 Michigan
demonstrations
Hello,
I just happened to
notice that Detroit is not included among the
major cities holding demonstrations against war
on Iraq on Saturday February 15. In fact,
there will be thousands of people from the
Detroit area taking part in a demonstration that
day. Also, there will be a large rally in
Ann Arbor, the home of the University of
Michigan. Finally, there is also a large
demonstration in Lansing Michigan, the capitol
of Michigan and home of the Michigan State
University. Peace.
Editor:
Mike, I
salute Detroit and all the State of Michigan.
I'll publish your message in the letter
section and the announcement section. Peace
Readers
should feel free to send announcements about
demonstrations in their cities and states.

A Call for a
Muslim March on Washington on the Day of Arafat
Assalaam Alaikum and
Greetings:
"The best (Jihad) is (to
speak) a word of justice to an oppressive
ruler." Sunan Abu-Dawood, 20-40
So said our Prophet Muhammad
(SAW) to his followers who laid down their lives and
wealth for their faith and love of the Prophet.
Yet, I ask of myself as I ask
of all of you, our leaders and spokespersons, as I have
many times before and as I've written frequently. I
am embarrassed that in my community as in communities
across the world Muslims like me are the least
participatory in physical demonstrations and in political
campaigns to stop the war against Iraq and the daily
bloodshed in Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir and elsewhere.
Today in London US/UK
non-Muslim citizens handed in copies of their passports to
Tony Blair before departing to Baghdad to be human shields
for Iraqi's. There were no Muslims among them.
Demonstrations in Washington
DC have been overwhelmingly non-Muslim.
The time to analyze this
shameful passivity is not now. The time for emails,
phone calls, and letters is not now. The time to
delve into intellectual debate on "Arab/Muslim
reform", exiles, democracy is not now. We
should have done that a long time ago prior to losing
Palestine.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL OF YOU
AND US TO PUT OUT A CALL FOR HELP, A CALL FOR PEACE, A
CALL TO STOP BUSH, THE MAD BOMBER, FROM KILLING ANY MORE
MUSLIMS FOR WHATEVER REASON. THE
MOMENTUM WORLDWIDE AGAINST THE WAR ON IRAQ COULD BE AND
MUST UTILIZED TO BEAR ON THE PALESTINIAN, CHECHEN, AND
KASHIMIRI ISSUE. THE WORLD IS AWAKENING WHILE OUR
SLEEP DEEPENS TO OUR OWN DEATHS AND
OPPRESSION. TIME TO ABANDON FEAR AND ALL OUR
BAGGAGE FROM HOME IS NOW.
LET'S ALL CALL FOR THE LARGEST
MUSLIM MARCH IN HISTORY ON WASHINGTON D.C. ON THE DAY OF
ARAFAT WHICH BUSH WILL SURELY AWAIT BEFORE HE STARTS
KILLING ARAB CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS. OUR AMBASSADORS
ARE A.W.O.L., OUR VOICES ARE SILENT AND OUR FEET ARE WARM
IN OUR LIVING ROOMS.
IF OUR ORGANIZATIONS CAN'T DO
MUCH NOW THEN PLEASE LET'S ALL CLOSE SHOP AND STOP THE
EMAILS, NEWSLETTERS, PHOTO OPS, SOLICITATIONS, AND EGO
TRIPS. THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR SELF PITY-----I
DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE LIVED UNDER AMERICAN
BOMBS, MISSILES, CLUSTER AND NAPALM BOMBS, HOW MANY OF YOU
WERE ALMOST KILLED BY SHARON/U.S. BOMBS, BUT I WAS...AND I
SAW AND PUT MY HANDS IN DEAD BURNED BODIES AND
TISSUES. TODAY IT'S IRAQ, TOMORROW IT'S
LEBANON, SYRIA, IRAN, WILL WE ONLY ACT WHEN ITS OUR
FAMILIES AND NATIONS?. THE ARAB LEAGUE IS FINALLY
DEAD, IS THE MUSLIM LEAGUE TOO?
WE KEEP LOSING OPPORTUNITIES
TO FORMULATE A VISION AND STRATEGY OF ACTION IN OF ALL
PLACES, AMERICA, THE NATION WHERE I CAN SIT AND WRITE YOU
AND OUR PRESIDENT WITH THE SAME ANGER AND FRUSTRATION
WITHOUT FEAR.
IPLEASE PUT OUT THE CALL AND
LET'S COME OUT OF OUR SHELL AND DEFEND LIVES, REGARDLESS
WHETHER YOU'RE RELIGIOUS OR NOT, MUSLIM OR NOT, HUMANITY
IS TOO PRECIOUS. I CAN'T IMAGINE SITTING BEHIND A
COMPUTER SENDING OUT "ALERTS" ABOUT PENDING
DEATH THEN GOING HOME AT SIX O'CLOCK TO BE IN THE SAFETY
OF HOME AND FAMILY. NO MORE EXCUSES, THERE IS ENOUGH
TIME TO DO THIS.
Won't you please march to save
a child's life? Will we sit afterwards and blame
Bush for "acting" and not blame ourselves for
"not acting"?
I don't know how I personally
will answer Allah (SWT) when He asks me what did I do to
stop the slaughter? DO ANY OF YOU KNOW HOW YOU'LL
ANSWER?
Mohamed Khodr M.D.

| From Mohammed Khodr:
I called the French Ambassador and introduced myself as a US
citizen, to ask him to use his veto power to veto any new UN
resolution proposed by Pres. Bush. I was told that many, many
people have been calling from the US with the same message
and that a fax would more likely come to his attention. I
encourage each of you to fax, phone, email
the Ambassadors UN Security Council Members with Veto Power.
Let them know you are writing on behalf of lots and lots of people
who are concerned about Bush's resolution.

Please read
the following and immediately write to CBS before they air the
show on Sunday October 13, 2002.
Every Muslim who has knowledge of this attack on our beloved
Prophet (PBUH) has a duty to defend the Messenger and our
religion. Allauddin Keen Please follow this:
Go to this site: http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/feedback/fb_news_form.shtml
2. Fill out your information
3. Copy and paste the template letter
below
Please forward this alert to all friends, MSAs We Muslim
Americans appeal to you with all the earnestness we can summon.
PLEASE do not give the insufferable bigot Jerry Falwell a platform
to spew his ignorant hate filled attacks against us, our religion
and, our beloved Prophet. This is NOT free speech, it is by
purpose and design inflammatory hate speech that adds nothing to
the discourse but takes away any semblance of reasonableness,
rationale, and respect in the national dialogue on important
issues. If you must air his interview PLEASE remove the obvious
inflammatory reference to Prophet Muhammad as a
"terrorist". You edit all the time; this is the time to
do it. You would not give anti-Semites a platform to spew their
hatred and you would not give racists the opportunity to call
Black Americans the vicious names so WHY would you give a known
bigot the opportunity to voice similar hate filled profanities
against us, American Muslims? Why are we not entitled to equal
protection against the wide dissemination of hate speech against
us? Please prevent Falwell's call of "fire" in a crowded
theatre. It can only lead to destructive results and nothing
constructive. Please give this SERIOUS thought; this is not simply
a 'first amendment' issue. You hold the key.
Sincerely,
(Name, City, State) |
