FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
American Muslim Organization calls for Shahzad to be treated as a traitor
Actions of Times Square bomber, a naturalized US citizen, were treasonous
PHOENIX (May 6, 2010) - Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim and the president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy issued the following statement regarding the attack of Faisal Shahzad on New York's Times Square.
"The actions of Faisal Shahzad a naturalized US citizen on May 1, 2010 were a calculated and deliberate act of treason. [NOTE: See above definition of treason.]Shahzad's cowardly attempt to kill innocent Americans in Times Square clearly demonstrates his loyalty lies with the Islamist radicals [NOTE: Is he loyal to "Islamist radicals" or to Islam???] and not his chosen countrymen in the United States. His actions were a result of his faith in the supremacy of an Islamic State over the United States. [NOTE: This faith in the supremacy of an Islamif state is standard, traditional Islamic doctrine. All religious Moslems must believe in the supremacy of Islam. The Koran says: -- Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme. (8:40) Notice the word "until". The goal of Islamic supremacy is clearly stated.] His citizenship oath was given falsely in 2009 and was in the direct service of powers at war with the United States. His prosecution should encompass the gravity of those actions. No different from Hassan Abujihad convicted in 2008, Nidal Hasan and other Islamist traitors Shahzad if guilty is an enemy of the state and should be immediately legally treated as one.
Whether we declare it or not the United States is at war with the ideology of militant Islamism. [NOTE: 1) "militant Islamism" IS the ideology of Islam. Islam is both a religion and an ideology wrapped into one package. There is no way to separate them because they are both based in the Koran and the sayings of Muhammad. 2) In the eyes of our Obama administration, we are not at war with an ideology, but only with a small band of "militants" -- al Qaeda and the Taliban.] Islamists are not afraid to call for the complete destruction of the principles that built our great country. The United States cannot afford to be timid in our response to their actions. Our citizens mustabandon the paralyzing fears of political correctness and engage in long overdue genuine theo-political debates about the dangerous separatism of political Islam and its radicalizing effects. [NOTE: "theo-political"??? I assume that the "theo" part means Islamic theology as set forth in the Koran and the sayings of Muhammad. It's dangerous, alright, but few people are willing to look into the Koran as the source of the trouble. Not even Dr. Jasser.]
Our elected officials must show true ideological leadership if we are to ever begin the long process of ridding ourselves of the scourge of Islamist terrorism. [NOTE: "Islamist terrorism" is Islamic terrorism: The Koran says: -- We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. (3:151)] We cannot cower to victim-mongering organizations that thrive on keeping us from addressing the very real threats to our security. Platitudes that only condemn violence and ignore common ideology [NOTE: That is precisely the ideology of Islam.] will not bring about the necessary reforms which can eventually prevent radicalization.
At the American Islamic Forum for Democracy we believe that it is incumbent on our elected leaders to engage in the war of ideas and demonstrate that the rule of one law that protects universal religious freedom takes precedence over the Islamic state. America in fact provides the best atmosphere for Muslims to practice our faith [NOTE: This is NOT true. In order for Muslims to practice their faith, they must follow Sharia law, and American law prohibits the practice of most of Sharia law. Muslims have religious freedom here only if they renounce Sharia law. But, then they are apostates, not religious Muslims.] and it is time for us to empower honest reformist Muslims [NOTE: There is no such thing as a "reformist Muslim" because Islam is inherently not subject to reform. The fundamental premise of Islam is that the Koran is Allah's literal word -- perfect, complete, immutable and valid for all of eternity. Therefore, the notion of reforming Allah's already perfect word is logically absurd. Muslims like Dr. Jasser cannot reform Islam. All they can do is fail to practice it as Islamic law requires.] to declare the 'Islamic state' dead. We will never slow down the recurrence of Islamist terror against our citizenry until such a movement from Muslims against political Islam is palpable."[NOTE: Don't hold your breath!]

When World War II ended, the United States had the only undamaged industrial power in the world. Our military might was at its peak, and we alone had the ultimate weapon, the nuclear weapon, with the unquestioned ability to deliver it anywhere in the world. If we had sought world domination then, who could have opposed us? But the United States followed a different course, one unique in all the history of mankind. We used our power and wealth to rebuild the war-ravished economies of the world, including those of the nations who had been our enemies.
