The Democratic Party will start its convention with a Muslim public prayer and gathering. This is completely in line with their new “anti-traditional” platform. Never before in our history has the country witnessed major political party embrace ideologies that are hostile to American traditions and values. So it’s fitting that the DNC would promote this “Jummah.”On Aug. 31 at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., a Muslim organization will lead a gathering and a show of solidarity with other Muslims to bring attention to their plight in America.
The Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA) will host an open-air jumma prayer, along with other programs and events, to raise awareness on Muslim issues in America. Some of the other events include an Islamic Cultural Festival, an Islamic Issues Conference and Halal Entertainment available for all ages.
In a release, BIMA stated that this was a “nonpartisan” event and it wasn’t an endorsement of any political candidate or elected official. All they want to do is to make the powers that be aware of what Muslim Americans face in regards to discrimination and human rights issues and to make the public aware that their community is also prosperous and vibrant in spite of it all. The AmNews spoke with Yusuf Jabber, a member of the Jumma at DNC Executive Committee, about the event and what his organization hopes to accomplish from it.
“It’s not a protest,” Jabber said. “We’re not protesting the Democratic National Convention. We’re not protesting the current president of the Untied States. Regardless if the president is Democrat or Republican, we are actually just addressing some issues with legislation that has been put into law, and it affects Muslims and how we live our everyday lives.” Jabber cited the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act as example of laws that have negatively impacted Muslim American life.
First of all, there is nothing indigenous about Islam. This ideology is foreign and antagonistic to Western values. However, I will concede that there are some Muslims who embrace our Constitution. M. Zuhadi Jasser is one of them. Even he has misgivings about this unholy union:
If that is who the DNC is consorting with then all Americans, Democrats should be concerned. There are many patriotic Muslims who are part of both parties, and when radical ideologues like this do a demonstration of “solidarity” in the name of our faith and choose an imam like Siraj Wahhaj who I saw with my own eyes in 1995 seditiously say it his duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the US Constitution with the Quran- then we need to speak up!
Their jummah (group) prayer is supposedly against the Patriot Act, the NYPD, and Islamophobia and is actually NOT about our democracy but about empowering their Islamist and MB sympathetic groups into the very fabric of the political system so that Americans become anesthetized. We need American Muslims to speak up and marginalize these radicals. The DNC needs to understand and reject them because of their radical history and ideas.
Too late Mr. Jasser, the DNC has already become radicalized. One more anti-American group won’t make that much of a difference.
