Yep, she calls it Hate of Muslims I would like to make a few points, after listening to Daisy Khan's statement"It's not even Islamaphobia. It's beyond Islamaphobia. It's Hate of Muslims."First of all, Americans don't "Hate" Muslims. Americans don't hate Jews. Americans don't hate Hindus. Americans don't hate Mexicans, Africans, Irish, Italians, Chinese, Russians, Cubans, Swedish, Canadians... No, it's not the people that we struggle with, Rauf and Daisy. It's the ideology, the behavior, and the impending questions that don't have acceptable answers that bother us. For instance, take the Islamic concept of taqiyya, "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.[1]Now, given the fact that it is perfectly acceptable to lie, and knowing this, tell us, please, Rauf and Daisy, how are we supposed to even believe a single thing you say? No, it is the ideology, not the people that we struggle with as Americans. For instance, Maharishi Swami Dayanand Sarswati (1824-1883), the great sage, rational reformer and the founder of the Arya Samaj discussed Islam in details and finally concluded: “Having thus given a cursory view of the Q'uran, I lay it before the sensible persons with the purpose that they should know what kind of book the Quran is. If they ask me, I have no hesitation to say that it can not be the work either of God or of a learned man, nor can it be a book of knowledge. Here its very vital defect has been exposed with the object that the people may not waste their life falling into its imposition.”I believe that, your statement, "It's Hate of Muslims" is a total lie. You don't really believe that any more than you believe your "Community Center" is intended to foster peace and understanding. Of course, we actually have no way of "knowing" what it's purpose truly is since it is perfectly okay for you to lie to us. You see, it is that aspect of Islam that we Hate. We Hate the lies, not the people who say them. It is for this, among other things, that Islam is simply not an acceptable ideology in the US. Why? Because, Americans prefer to hear the Truth, and to know we can count on the Word of the person who gives it. It is our word that defines us as a people. It is liars who are un-American, not those who question ideas, ideologies or statements given. If we are known as someone who lies, we are referred to as liars. If we speak the truth, we are know as one who speaks the truth. We don't Hate Muslims. We Hate the lies.
