A Muslim opposes Ground Zero Mosque

A Muslim Speaks Out Against the “Ground Zero Mosque”



There’s still time to sign our petition opposing the “Ground Zero Mosque”







On May 24th, the New York Post published an important op-ed written by our friend and colleague, Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.



You can read Dr. Jasser’s op-ed
here. Following is a short excerpt.






I am an American Muslim dedicated to defeating the ideology that fuels global lslamist terror -- political Islam. And I don't see such a "center" actually fighting terrorism or being a very "positive" addition near Ground Zero, no matter how well intentioned.



To put it bluntly, Ground Zero is the one place in America where Muslims should think less about teaching Islam and "our good side" and more about being American and fulfilling our responsibilities to confront the ideology of our enemies.




How we wish that the White House, Congress, and our law enforcement and intelligence communities would reach out more to Muslims like Zuhdi Jasser, instead of legitimizing Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations that were named unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial.



Organizations like ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) and CAIR (Council on American Islamic-Relations).



If you haven’t yet signed
our petition opposing the “Ground Zero Mosque,” will you take 60 seconds and join the over 52,000 who have signed it thus far?



Thank you!
