	American Fundamentalists by Joel Pelletier
		The three branches of modern American Fundamentalism have somehow converged, opportunistically using each other even when their ultimate goals sometimes conflict, because true Machiavellian ethics doesn't require you to agree with anyone, even your allies, as long as you might get your way.
		The current American executive administration is also the culmination of lessons learned by the political ideologues of (mostly) the Republican Party, started in the late 1970's.
		The biggest danger posed to American Democracy by Political Fundamentalism is the attitude that there can only be ONE correct party, and locking it into long-term power by any means necessary is the daily task of Karl Rove and Tom Delay.

	American Muslims Push for Role in Policy Planning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		A group of American Muslim scholars, activists and community leaders is determined to carve a role for American Muslims in policymaking.
		Its foundation is based on the premise that the American Muslim community is not only capable of providing valuable assistance to the US in the war on terror but can also play a pivotal role in helping build bridges of confidence, trust and communication between the US and the Muslim World.
		Muslim input is valuable both in the articulation as well as in execution of policy.

	Many American Muslims well off, college educated, poll shows
		The poll is part of a three-year project, called Muslims in American Public Square (MAPS), which, with the support of the Pew Charitable Trusts, is documenting the roles of Muslims in America.

	Who are Moderate Muslims?
		American media uses the term moderate Muslim to indicate a Muslim who is either pro-western in her politics or is being self-critical in her discourse.
		Both Muslims and the media are generally on the mark when they identify moderate Muslims as reflective, self-critical, pro-democracy and human-rights and closet secularists.
		Muslim militants are sowing seeds of poison and hatred between Muslims and the rest of humanity by committing egregious acts of violence in the name of Islam.

	Metroactive News & Issues \| American Muslims
		The nation's 7 million American Muslims, still undeniably nascent in their political identity, are perhaps best known politically for their bloc vote in the 2000 presidential elections, when some polls showed that an overwhelming 72 percent of Muslim Americans voted for George W. Bush.
		CAIR chairman Omar Ahmad opened Saturday's proceedings by listing the most important American Muslim issues; among them, he cited Muslim inclusion in the political process, civil rights, a balanced foreign policy in the Middle East and the need for the United States to have a better relationship with the Muslim world.
		As Muslims in the United States are struggling to defend their civil liberties, they, as a result of their socially conservative identities, find themselves taking the opposite position of their liberal defenders on these issues.

	Muslim American Society
		Although American Muslims are now a recognized and visible voter group that could make a slight difference in the 2004 presidential election, no one should claim that we are politically mature or a potentially decisive factor.
		American Muslims are still raw beginners as far as our involvement in U.S. politics is concerned, for we have lived an isolated and ignored existence for decades.
		Right now, there are 1.8 million registered Muslim voters, and that number is expected to increase with a new generation of young Muslim Americans coming of voting age.

		Muslims are comparable to Hispanics, a much larger swing voter group, in their diversity and their compatibility with positions of both parties.
		Muslim immigrants who become candidates tend to be observant but not orthodox, and many have U.S. educations.
		Some Muslims refused to get a library card or register to vote, scared of "anything that will put them on a list (that) is retrievable" by the FBI, says Abdul Waheed, 59, a Pakistani immigrant running for Teaneck City Council.

	American Chronicle: Win the Moderate Muslims as an Asset in the War on Terror
		Muslims all over the world look to the Americans with admiration and respect upon reading the National Security Strategy of the United States of America, which is expressed as "The United States must defend liberty and justice because these principles are right and true for all people everywhere.
		In their countries, the moderate Muslims are underdeveloped, neglected, powerless and infected with hopelessness, yet the West equates them with terrorism.
		The torture and abuse of Muslims on the ground and in the camps should be alleviated.

	USA MUSLIMS
		Islam (the name of the Muslim faith) is the fastest growing religion in the United States and the second largest in North America.
		In the early 1900’s Arab immigrants, both Christian and Muslim, arrived from the Middle East to the promised land they called “Amreeka.” Today, American Muslims are part of the founding fabric of the United States and were NEVER the perpetrators of 9/11 - but among its victims.
		Yet sadly, the civil liberties, rights and hopes of American Muslims are being taken away.

	American Muslims and the Rediscovery of America's Sacred Ground (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The determination of the American Muslim community to make an impact on the political, theological, and cultural scene on North America, and the growing fear and prejudice against Islam and Muslims in the United States, has created a unique situation for Muslims.
		Having said that, it is also important to recognize that many Christian groups have come forward in solidarity with Muslims to protect their civil rights, that gradually an interfaith space has emerged sympathetic to Muslim conditions, and that many are working together to redress the situation.
		American Muslim's internal struggles and outreach have generated a moral dialogue in the Conscientious Public Forum, which is developing a strong civil society movement to raise public awareness to impact the Civic Public Forum institutions that victimize Muslims.

	Islamic Books: Muslims in American History: A Forgotten Legacy by Jerald F Dirks :\|: Astrolabe Islamic Bookstore

		Muslim Americans are also the richest Muslim community in the world, with four in five earning more than $25,000 a year and one in three more than $75,000.
		In these respects, Muslim Americans differ from Muslim communities in Britain and Continental Europe, which tend to be poor and socially marginalized.
		And because 64% of Muslim Americans are foreign born, there is reason to expect that figure to grow among second and third generations.

	Muslim American Society
		The indigenous Muslims, on the other hand, are less resourceful and their inner-city masjids have more humble structures, but they have more connection with the masses.
		If Muslims keep their options open, however, and are involved in both parties at the grassroots level, the American society would, ultimately, be the greatest beneficiary of their participation in the political arena.
		Muslim politics would be compatible with either liberalism or conservatism depending upon the nature of the issue and the debate of the day.

	American Muslims should lead Ummah in moderation and modernization: Free Muslims Coalition
		In order to establish themselves as a positive element in the United States, American Muslims have to demonstrate their commitment to the safety and security of this country of George Washington, Albert Einstein, and Muhammad Ali is as solidly as any US Marine's.
		Indeed, there is a dilemma for the majority of Muslims in accepting policies of unilateralism, regime change, and continuous covert and overt, as well as dejure and defacto occupations of Muslim lands on one pretext or another as is happening in Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Chechnya, and Iraq.
		Muslims, and particularly Muslims who are living in the West, have to develop similar contrasting levels of excellence and benevolence to downplay the image of radical Islam.

	A Memo to American Muslims - By M.A. Muqtedar Khan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Even if it were true that Israel and the US are enemies of the Muslim World, wonder what is preventing them from unleashing their nuclear arsenal against Muslims, a response that mercilessly murders thousands of innocent people, including hundreds of Muslims is absolutely indefensible.
		It is time that American Muslim leaders fought to purify their own lot.
		It is time the leaders of the American Muslim community woke up and realized that there is more to life than competing with the American Jewish lobby for power over US foreign policy.

		Therefore all Muslims who make this compact with the U.S. are obliged to fulfill their obligations as proper citizens, obey the law, pay taxes and so on.
		However, he added, “of course Muslims are not obliged to obey laws and policies which are specifically against Islamic beliefs.” He also recognized the opportunity for dissent and change that the U.S. constitution provides its citizens and recommended that Muslims avail themselves of this opportunity.
		India, which is a secular democracy and allows Muslims complete freedom to practice their religion and live by Islamic shariah (law), cannot be labelled dar-ul-harb since it is not hostile to Islam.

	The American Muslim (TAM) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		American Muslims don’t need to be taught how to be American; they are American.
		Perhaps this is ostensibly because the Muslims from the islamic world have a history of islamic scholarship that qualifies them in interpreting the islamic texts to address American life issues.
		Any American Muslim who understands our people can tell you that there are plenty of Americans who believe in one God, are committed to righteousness, and who are allies to practicing Muslims.

		New York City, NY An Israeli rabbi is shot to death by a Muslim attacker at a hotel.
		Scottsville, NY In an honor killing, a Muslim father kills his wife and attacks his two daughters with a knife and hammer because he feared that they had been sexually molested.

		As a Muslim American myself, I feel that she presented a very superficial, unnuanced portrait of the Muslim American.
		Asma's American Muslims is an easy to read and interesting book that deals with the experiences of a Muslim girl in the Midwest.

	US rejects Muslims' plea for charities list - The Boston Globe

		The holy month of Ramadan began last week, and Muslims are required to give to the poor during that period.
		"If the government knows there are charities that are misleading the American Muslim community, it's their obligation to help protect these innocent Americans," said Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer for the American Muslim Union, based in New Jersey.

		With an estimated population of some four million Muslims in the U.S., it seems surprising that the field for Muslim higher education is virtually bare.
		The reason for the current moribund state of Muslim higher education in America, according to Yvonne Haddad, a professor at Georgetown, is that as an immigrant group Muslims are still quite young and economically unstable.
		Hashemi, who describes himself as "a strong believer in the public education system," worries that Muslims going to their own schools "might create a ghetto mentality." Others are skeptical of the idea of a Muslim institution of higher education altogether, believing that Muslims need to focus instead on assimilation.

	Lessons from the Imperial Adventure in Iraq
		The conduct of Americans who wish to occupy and transform Iraq as a first step towards transforming the entire Middle East, and those in Iraq who continue to battle Americans, are both beyond rational calculus.
		Those who hate, oppose, and attack Americans; those who see the possibility of a better Iraq but are doing little to seize the moment; and those who are with the Americans but are irrelevant to the Iraqi future.
		American withdrawal before Iraq is stabilized, security, law and order is restored and the infrastructure -- economic, civil and political -- is reconstituted, spells doom for Iraq.
