"Surely My Mercy overtakes My Wrath"
"Islam began a Stranger and,
then, it will return as it began.
Then bliss to the strangers!"
Welcome then, Stranger!
as-salaamu 'alaikum!

Welcome to Muslim America!Whether your understanding of Islam and muslims comes from the information media and school, or from a culture among the many in the millennial Muslim World, or even from among the more than two thousand mosques and Islamic Centers and more than eleven million muslims in Muslim America, you may find this website -- a small and inconsequential virtual corner of Muslim America -- a stranger. We certainly hope so.
We American muslims are millions of neighbors, workmen and tradesmen, mothers, students, teenagers and children, grandmothers and uncles, wives and sisters, brothers and husbands, often strangers to those around us and often to each other, in a suddenly strange land called America -- strangest most of all, sometimes, to those of us who were born here.
Many people can say the same thing -- people of all faiths and none find themselves these days living in an America that's become somewhat more than a bit strange. But suddenly muslims in America are strangers, too -- or so it seems, with all that's going on. We certainly are complete and total strangers to some of those folks on television ...
The most powerful and innovative people in human history -- three hundred million Americans -- are being instigated against the most pacific and neighborly people in human history -- a billion muslims -- by the most treacherously false and invidious people in human history -- fifteen million of them, mostly insinuated throughout America's governmental, informational, educational, intelligence, and entertainment institutions. How Americans have been deceived and brainwashed by means of our fundamental sense of fairness and amicability is a story all by itself, it certainly goes back a long way. How as many as a third of a billion muslims have been tyrannized, enslaved and deceived is another story, but it's one we'd better learn quickly.
Islam -- when the devious twistings, distortions, and outright falsifications of the Arabs and their followers are removed -- tells the first story in detail, along with Scripture that still contains all the necessary evidences to convict the enemies of humanity and prove their black-hearted fraud against the people of Europe and the world. And now those who claim exclusive possession of the world and everyone in it -- by one or another pretended "divine right" -- are in league against America. That's the second story, the one we'd better learn.
The evidence is accumulating -- although, as far as we can determine, not yet conclusive -- that we are witnessing, at least in the Eastern Hemisphere, apocalyptic events associated with The Hour. Easy to say, but not so easily proven to those of us who know the difference between speculation and certainty. Messianic Apocalyptic Dementia is widespread, and the liars are playing into the popular apocalyptic delusions of people all over the world. Evidence -- conclusive, irrefutable evidence -- is another matter, and it's not all in yet. Someone, though, is persuading intelligent, educated people to become almost irreversible murder-suicidal believers in some end-time march to victory and dominion. Whether this is the first of the three we expect is not yet proven.
As an Arabic word, "America" pronounced like "amreeka" would be saying "Your Command!" -- a strange name for a society that says "In God We Trust" on coins and says it is "One nation under God" when claiming allegiance of its people. It almost seems to imply that America has some hitherto unknown religious purpose.
Muslim America -- where every muslim is religiously obligated to consider every person's life, property, and God-given rights and freedoms as sacred -- has evolved and developed like nothing ever did in all of human history. As we develop this website, our intent is to open a window on Muslim America -- on this little corner of the world, on some of your neighbors who are muslims and others as well, and on the land and the people of it who make America and Americans the land and people God has -- we think obviously -- chosen to unite the world in His Mercy. That's a strange thing to discover about America even when Scripture and the words of the prophet Muhammad
and the facts on the ground in America declare it rather too plainly to ignore. One wonders why we seem sometimes to be the last to know ...
For generations now the oldest, most humble and pious, and most learned religious scholars -- the shaykhs of Islam in the world -- have been coming to and through America on their journey to God. And this is what they have come to see and affirm and testify from their deep religious knowledge: America has been blessed to know God -- freely choosing, each his own way, among or apart from those Houses in which He is mentioned by whatever Name. A nation founded first for the preservation of religious freedom, populated largely by people who in some measure choose religion. And now increasing numbers of Americans are discovering that Islam is -- strangely -- fundamentally -- traditionally -- this American way of life, that freedom of faith that is ordained by Him as His Mercy on all humanity. The liars say otherwise and today are bent on destroying America. They fail.
Nowhere in history have there ever been gathered together people of every color, culture, and creed like in America. America is a tapestry of humanity from the ends of the earth, a gathering of refugees from all the clans and tribes to live together in peace. And that gathering has come on a hard-won social and political foundation that derives from the very Revelation of Islam: a pluralistic federal constitutional republic in which God's creation of all humanity to exercise dominion is fundamental. God has chosen America because a sufficiency of Americans have continued to fulfill that original promise to God of the founding fathers, to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." He has kept faith with America's founding fathers who served Him secretly and openly. And the American people in our turn have kept faith with that foundational freedom of faith.
It is among this population that Islam has returned in America, among muslims who reject the tyranny and corruption of the millennial muslim world. In the space of a single generation, Muslim America has grown in population and strength and faith, to absolutely repudiate all attempts by the tyrant priests of the dynasties -- and by the other enemies of humanity -- to corrupt a clear understanding of God's Mercy sent down to all humanity.
Today all of America is under attack because of our uniquely American liberty. One aim of the terrorist pirates who murdered three thousand martyrs on September 11, 2001, in an event calculated to appear apocalyptic ~ and now being portrayed in a conspiracist underground as
The Treachery of the Two Towers and the Pentagon
~ symbols as found in false prophecy, Zodiac, Tarot, and occultism ~ was to turn Americans against American muslims and all others of religious devotion in America ~ to turn Americans against Islam, American Judaism, devotional Chrstianity, and by extension all of humanity's faithful, as unavoidably violently contentious.But Americans of all faiths and none, nationwide, are standing up against that misdirected hatred, staying true to the principles of religious freedom and tolerance that make America what it is. The intended backlash backfired, and Americans are learning about their neighbors who are muslims ~ and others whose quiet faith makes them good neighbors ~ all over the country.
Our aim here is to continue providing materials on Islam and muslims -- and current events -- from a uniquely American perspective: a perspective that none of America's enemies want you to see.
And contrary to the aim of those who sent terrorists into our skies, we're not finished yet. Here is just a start ...
