FORT HOOD SHOOTING (1)

None can describe how they felt like in fort hood when THEIR colleague MAJ. NIDLA start to shooting them, but I can imagine they took a while before they believed it was a real shooting and he killing them.
Usually in situations like that Muslims will argue that wasn’t a religion it was an individual act, anti-Muslims will argue that is what ISLAM about , so that I won’t discuss nor of those ideas because the supporters for both more than enough, what I’ll do is just a simple non expert analyzing for the accident.
First of all I have to stop with one major point happening in mosques in USA and outside USA, it is a really dangerous idea imams put in Muslim heads indirectly or directly which is being Muslim that divide you from your community, which means you have to choose to be a Muslim or American and you can’t have loyalty for Islam and America in same time, by the way it’s not just America it is the same speech and idea all over the world even if the country is ISLAMIC country with 100% Muslim population!
About the accident itself there are some points need to focus on:
1-NIDAL was born in AMERICA for Arab parents believed to be from Jordon (in fact they are Palestinian but as many Palestinian moved to Jordon in 1980”S after black September and have Jordon nationality they always say they are from Jordon) , from the convenience store owner words we did know NIDAL wasn’t able to speak Arabic , so it seem he was living with the feeling he is an AMERICAN .
2-Nidal didn’t find any problem to be educated by Americans money and even serve in HIS COUNTRY army and even get educated by that army money.
3-Nidal’s family did say he was facing some acts against him from other army soldiers because of his ethnicity , I believe they try to find excuse for him but any way we have to remember here the American army had American Africans in it at WW || and as known they did face more than what possibly NIDAL could face but we never know any American African shoot his friends.
4-NIDAL”S family also said he didn’t want to go to fight against other Muslims, so here are couple questions, if the war was against china as example he would be happy to go?? , didn’t he think being in army is a share in that war even if he didn’t go? Why he didn’t do as many did n Vietnam war and refused to go and face his charge whatever it will be a prison years or whatever as a brave person? The answer for all that he just was AN ARAB.
5-When NIDAL felt it is wrong to be in the America side why he just didn’t leave and fight against America there overseas? Why he didn’t just suicide and not put others in his plans? Just because he is a coward.
6- The accident made many change their ideas from fighting the terrorists to fight any Muslim because you never know when he or she will kill you, thanks NIDAL for that!!
7- NIDAL wasn’t a practice Islam until last two months when he knew he will be send to war!! So it isn’t the religion itself then, so it seem like he is a coward, fake person who try to find excuse for him and in same time to look like he has a plan!!
I hope my I can send a message for NIDAL to tell him” If you did read any religion book you should know killing innocent not in fight is a good reason to go to hell, even that ( in Islam when you are at war and your ENEMY has no weapon you don’t kill them) but sure you never read about it.

Minority is a choice

Couple weeks ago at the day of (eid al fitr) I went to eat at Lebanese restaurant has a little patio outside and that exactly what I needed at that sunny day after whole month from not eating at daytime.
Once I arrived there the Lebanese owner came to greet me for the (eid) and offered my nice table outside and as usual after I done with food he came back to have conversation with me.
I must mention here mike is the first Arabic speaker arrive in area here from 32 years ago and I met him after I move here by few month while I was searching for any restaurant serve middle east food here.
At some point in our conversation he asked me if I miss home I answered him I miss some people and family and sure if anyone spent some time in any place will remember and miss it somehow but not that I’m dying from miss home, he also asked me why I don’t have lunch at mosque as the mosque has lunch for (eid) I answered him that because I don’t like to feel MINORTIE !!!
That take our conversation for new point that he told me he never felt as stranger here but he thought that because his life style is life style for most of people here but for Muslim as me and as ALL Muslims he know I must feel stranger , again I said no I don’t feel stranger because I’m not!!
I explain for him my point of view that it’s not because I’m little different that mean I must be stranger because everyone is unique when you come close to people but the reason people feel minorities and stranger only if they are FAKE AND DOUBLE FACES.
I told him that because its easier for immigrants –immigrants to be honest about some points ALWAYS when someone feel stranger and minority that person ALWAYS (I repeat) talk with hate about AMERICANS, so that is the deal that person feel stranger and blame AMERICANS( Hispanic and Arabs definition to Americans is WHITE only !!!!) they don’t come close to them and here I can give that extreme example for couple Hispanic people believe that AMERICANS must learn Spanish and speak Spanish to Hispanic because English is hard!!
With Arab Muslims its kind of different a little and as example for how double faces some of them are, they don’t have any problem to work and have friendships with AMERICANS and in mosque they pray and ask god to PUNISH Americans and take their money and houses and everything and give it to them (the Muslims) *
I argued that when I drive and there are 50 car follow the law and one doesn’t then I belong to the 50 so I’m not minority, when 90% pay tax and I’m one of them I’m not minority, when I try to be good person and stay away of trouble as most of people that I’m MAJORTY .
* That is part of pray at Friday prayer the imam say

Business is business

Washington D.C July 3-July 6 2009 was the 46Th annual Islamic convention organized by ISNA(ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA) I went there and noticed some points i would like to share.









From the name of convention its clear that is the 46Th which mean that happening in last 46 years.




That convention organized by ISNA which consider part from Egyptian Muslim brotherhood or at least they both have so much cooperate.









There was a lectures and meetings but it was very few attended that,most of people went their were for shopping purposes.




Below are some pictures with my comments




That is out of the Washington convention centre which is minute from white house and FBI buildings,That made me thinking how it will look like if Christians in Egypt had convention in Cairo???

That is booth to sell cruise trips,yes in that convention which is Islamic(ISNA website insist if you rent Booth ISNA must approve your product and should be products permitted by Islam rules)

Yes that is booth for regrow hair products.

I spent so much time looking for that before take a picture,hookah(shisha) between QURAAN portrait in Islamic convention!!! doesn't it look like its part from Islam?

Yes that was there too,very Islamic products!!

They were nice at least they didn't ask me to DONATE!!!

Normal skirts made in India

Another big shock to me.

Isn't that just normal jewellery,why they ask people to DONATE and SUPPORT?

I had to DONATE to take a picture and take Muslim in America newspaper

Its fair to explain your opinion and also fair to Kashmir people to go to Islamic convention with papers say the problem made by Muslims!!!

Very nice work i liked it,i just wonder if she live in ISLAMIC country can she sell that while she doesn't wear head scarf?? i believe there is no way.good for her she is here

No COMMENT

Very good work,

What disturbed me a lot the fact that most of business rep. didn't market their products no they ask you to support them and DONATE except few as the 2 artists and one more example for the travel agency,in fact she made me ask my self some questions, she sell a haj and umrah( Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca) as a pure business which means she doesn't use that word donate or support or made any sign as she Owen the heaven keys in her hands,also she doesn't wear head scarf (i didn't know even if she is Muslim or not but i knew she is Egyptian)which mean she does what she like and doesn't use Islam for business as most of other business.

Also that made me think could she work in that business in Egypt if she is Muslim but without head scarf?i believe there is no way!!!!

To work in that business in Egypt she must make a LOOK and A SIGNS that she just help you to practice your religion and there is no benefit for that agency,and may be makes you feel they pay from their pocket to help you!!

from here i send my respect for her,the one who doesn't use any religion to make money just business for business you need it we serve it,simple

Likely in those kind of convention NONmuslims go to know more about Muslims and Islam so i wonder how many thought that hookah is part from religion?or wear T-shirt with Michael Jackson picture on it?
