US Council of Muslim Organizations marginalizes Moderate Muslim Voices

Was this a  move meant to marginalize moderate voices such as Dr. Zudhi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy?

From the American Islamic Forum for Democracy website

The American Islamic Forum for Democracy’s (AIFD) mission is to advocate for the preservation of the founding principles of the United States Constitution, liberty and freedom, through the separation of mosque and state.

AIFD is the most prominent American Muslim organization directly confronting the ideologies of political Islam and openly countering the common belief that the Muslim faith is inextricably rooted to the concept of the Islamic State (Islamism). Founded by Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, AIFD looks to build the future of Islam through the concepts of liberty and freedom.

AIFD’s mission is derived from a love for America and a love of our faith of Islam. Dr. Jasser and the board of AIFD believe that Muslims can better practice Islam in an environment that protects the rights of an individual to practice their faith as they choose. The theocratic “Islamic” regimes of the Middle East and some Muslim majority nations use Islam as a way to control Muslim populations, not to glorify God as they portend. The purest practice of Islam is one in which Muslims have complete freedom to accept or reject any of the tenants or laws of the faith no different than we enjoy as Americans in this Constitutional republic.

Want to bet they weren't even invited to participate in this new coalition?


From a CAIR Press Release


On Wednesday, March 12, eight* major national American Muslim organizations will hold a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to announce the formation of the US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), an umbrella group that will serve as a representative voice for Muslims as that faith community seeks to enhance its positive impact on society.

Islam is a cult invented by a derange child molester who wanted power, money and fame. He plagiarized the books of the Jews and the Christians. This cult has to be wiped out so it can not infect the whole world.

I used to believe that there were good and bad Muslims but after reading the garbage in their book that their cult leader had wrote, it is not possible for this bastard cult to have peaceful or moderate believers. The infidels must convert to this junk cult or face servitude and /or slow death. They can lie or deceive infidels into believing that they come in peace and God will not care because God knows that in the Muslims heart they worship him and when the time is right they must covert them,kill them or sometimes let the infidels live under their thumb and treat them as less than human. If this is not pursued by the Muslims they do not get into paradise. This cult does not preach love,peace or tolerance just the opposite. They must not be allowed to roam free.

Vito: We can not paint 1 and a quarter billion people with such a wide brush. The vast majority of people are good, and want nothing more for their children than we all want for our children- a better life, freedom, opportunity. Do not give in to hate.
