Bism'illahir Rahmaanir Rahiim,

Dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

It is such a great shame on national Muslim Organizations in America today that with a few influential people's say-so, whole organizations can be made to hold a 'party line' on an issue.

Worse than that, they can be made to hold that 'party-line' without even bothering themselves to check the actual source materials!!

And we count ourselves as Muslims.

Muslim people who I, as a British convert, new to the religion, once admired so much because they checked every saying about our beloved Sayyedina Muhammad (saws) for authenticity before accepting it!

I adjure you, who read this, to stand up in your organizations and protest to your governors where you see that your complicity has been taken for granted.

Perhaps you do not agree with your organization's actions.

Don't just lie down and follow the herd saying "There's nothing that I can do as an individual. My friends will come against me if I speak out."

If you find such an event taking place in your heart and mind, then most probably it is taking place in many other hearts and minds also.

Muslim organizations are made up of individual people like you and I, who wish to hold onto the 'rope of Allah'

Let's not let that rope be tied into knots by a few 'overlords' with political agendas.

I have read the State Department transcript.

Everything - even the video footage - has been made public. Nothing is hidden.

A great injustice has been heaped upon Shaykh Hisham Kabbani.

O true Muslims.

Stand up for Truth in your organizations!

BE SEEN AND NOT 'HERD'
