I can't go back to my home, which I last saw from the Lebanon-Israel border in 2018 with my family. I showed my children the hospital, school, and church built by their grandparents, but they will never see them. Wealth means little if you can't provide your children with a safe country. In America, we strive for success and kindness, but we must also be wise. While we aim to do good, we must recognize and confront the encroachment of evil in our society. It’s uncomfortable, but we must identify and uproot it from our communities and colleges to live in peace with people of all faiths.

Many in the Muslim American, Arab American, and Palestinian American communities feel outraged, recalling the Islamophobia and distrust experienced after 9/11.

When searching for vaccines online, you'll often come across anti-vaccine misinformation. Social media platforms like Facebook amplify this misinformation. Amazon is a major platform for anti-vaccine books, with only a few pro-vaccine books available. Anti-vaccine groups have also become politically active, spreading false information to state legislators. Unfortunately, there is a lack of pro-vaccine advocates in the country, with only a handful of academics defending vaccines. Many parents who are hesitant about vaccines can be convinced through conversations explaining the evidence that vaccines do not cause autism.

Kamala says that people who believe in Jesus don't belong to our rallies, in our movement. We love Christians, we welcome believers, and we embrace followers of Jesus.

The speaker claims the fight against vaccine refusal is being waged at the family, physician, and health center level. They propose a solution focused on vaccine refusers, specifying that most hesitant individuals can be persuaded. The speaker suggests focusing on Houston, the most diverse city in the U.S., with seven Asian languages spoken. They state that they have been a minority in Houston for over 20 years, where the majority is "Hispanic," which they define as a political designation, not a race or ethnicity. The speaker asserts that immigrants are the most willing to get vaccinated, contrasting this with the well-educated who have been in the U.S. for a long time. They reference Donald Trump's comment about immigrants bringing disease, arguing that immigrants actually have better vaccination rates than some U.S. populations.

Islamophobia is rising, particularly since October 7th, but it was already too high before then. Islamophobia is intolerable and can never be justified, requiring a zero-tolerance approach. More action is needed, especially regarding online content. The speaker hopes to leverage prosecutorial experience to develop strategies for taking action against those who break the law. Islamophobia significantly impacts people's lives, affecting their ability to move freely in their communities, workplaces, and streets. The impact is not low level.

In schools, they pressure us to learn about Islam and other cultures, but I want to learn about my own culture and beliefs. I'm proud to be English. They don't teach us about the Bill of Rights or our own history. In school, they were teaching us about Islam, about Prophet Mohammed, and all their ideologies. They barely mention Christianity. They don't tell you the negative aspects. When I tried to question it, I would get in trouble and even suspended from school for being "racist." I was just questioning an ideology that, in my opinion, isn't right. They're trying to take away my free speech at school and silence me for discussing the wrongs of Islam. They only say Islam is a peaceful religion, but their book says otherwise.

The presentation outlines how a mosque-affiliated organization can engage with politics through a hierarchy of entities while staying within legal constraints, and it encourages active civic participation and strategic funding to protect the community. Key points: - 501(c)(3) mosque organization: May not engage in partisan political work or lobbying, but can encourage civically engaged behavior such as registering to vote and going to the polls. The benefit of a C3 is tax-exempt status and tax-deductible donations. - 501(c)(4) social welfare/lobbying organization: Outside the masjid, a C4 can lobby, fight legislation, propose legislation, and mobilize people across all levels of government (school boards, city councils, state legislatures, federal). Donations to a C4 are not tax-deductible, but the organization can influence policy and legislation. - PACs (Political Action Committees): These collect money and give to candidates, with contribution limits (e.g., up to $5,000 to a candidate). They can raise funds for candidates but have ceiling restrictions. - Super PACs (independent expenditure committees): Created following a Supreme Court decision about eleven years ago, Super PACs are the most influential in campaigns. They can raise unlimited funds and spend on TV ads, mailers, and digital ads in support of a candidate as long as they do not coordinate with the candidate’s campaign. Additional information about CARE and its structures: - CARE (the C3 organization defending Muslim rights for 30 years) has 70 attorneys and remains available to assist anyone facing discrimination or intimidation due to being Muslim, including outreach through its DFW office. - CARE created CARE Action, a C4 lobbying organization to elevate the political influence of the Muslim community, particularly after the Gaza genocide; there is a chapter in the DFW area with active leadership and contacts. - CARE also established a Muslim super PAC, Unity and Justice Fund. The speaker notes that vocal restrictions limit further discussion but encourages engagement with Muslim organizations for involvement. - The speaker emphasizes that business-as-usual has not prevented genocides and that different, more effective forms of engagement are needed, including redirecting resources to better protect the future of the ummah in America. - The relationship between the Muslim community in the United States and the Muslim world is not ideal, and Muslims in the U.S. bear responsibility because they live in America and participate in its political framework. Participation through voting and organized civic action is framed as essential, since public leadership is tied to electoral outcomes. - The speaker invites further connection with CARE and KAIR staff for questions and opportunities, noting limitations due to C3 status and promising to seek solutions from now until November and beyond. The overall message: The community should move beyond limited engagement and leverage the C3, C4, PACs, and Super PACs framework to protect rights, influence policy, and ensure active participation in the political process, with CARE and Unity and Justice Fund serving as concrete pathways for involvement.

Peace to you all. I’m Saba Ahmed, a law student. With 1.8 billion Muslims globally and over 8 million in America, I question how we can win an ideological war through military means alone. The jihadist ideology needs to be addressed ideologically. While many Muslims are peaceful, radicals, estimated at 15-25%, pose a significant threat. History shows that peaceful majorities often become irrelevant in the face of radical agendas. For instance, 19 radicals caused immense destruction on 9/11. As an American Muslim, I believe I am not irrelevant. I mourn the lives lost in Libya and advocate for justice. However, military action alone won't resolve this issue; we need to engage Muslims in dialogue to find solutions.

I'm in a predominantly white, Trump-supporting neighborhood, and I've noticed that many of the local Muslims are also white. They can be unfriendly. It confuses me why certain people are sent to engage with them. Given the demographics, it would make more sense to send someone who would be more accepted, like a white person, to facilitate better communication. When they see someone who is Black, it creates an immediate barrier, as there's a lack of acceptance. A more relatable representative could ease their questions and concerns.

Speaker 0 urges everyone to read "A Letter to America" and share their thoughts. Speaker 1 finds it mind-boggling that terrorism is based on the belief that terrorists are superior. They believe it stems from the government's failure to help other nations. Speaker 2, a Muslim living in the US since 9/11, feels relieved that the truth is coming to light due to the situation in Palestine. Speaker 3 is shocked by the letter and wants others to read it too. They mention a tweet about resistance being labeled as terrorism under settler colonialism. Speaker 4 encourages everyone to read the letter, promising it will be mind-blowing.

Many Muslim and Arab Americans have connections in the Middle East, yet Kamala is campaigning with Liz Cheney, a figure associated with war. Cheney often advocates for military action but lacks the courage to face the consequences herself. She pushes for attacks on nations while remaining comfortably in Washington, benefiting from her father's legacy tied to Middle Eastern conflicts. Cheney's rhetoric is empty; she wouldn't fight herself. She lost her congressional seat by nearly 40 points, marking a historic defeat. This shows her disconnect with the public and the consequences of her warmongering stance.

As a former Islamic extremist, I only voted left because I saw them as easily influenced. Extremists wouldn't vote for Trump, they prefer the left to focus on issues like pride parades and abortion, even though they disagree with them. The speaker criticizes a woman fighting for abortion rights, questioning if she would ever have one or harm a Muslim. The goal of Islamic extremists is for America to become Muslim-dominated. Translation: The speaker, a former Islamic extremist, explains why extremists prefer left-leaning politicians and criticize their focus on issues like pride parades and abortion. They question the sincerity of a woman advocating for abortion rights and discuss the goal of Islamic extremists for America.

Speaker 0, who identifies as Ray Gallagher: Class of '97. I made it halfway through 1995, but for some reason, I was too ill behaved to even make it through Heather Ridge. I identify as Ray Gallagher, and I'm gonna go by Ray Gallagher for the rest of the speech. So you guys had six kids raped, and the first thing you thought to do was to start to ban free speech and require driver's licenses in order to stop citizens from calling you out on your bull. Well, it's not gonna work. Speaker 1: Mister Porter, I'm Speaker 0: gonna stop. I'm gonna stop Speaker 1: you right there. Speaker 0: I'm sorry. There is nothing disruptive about the content of my free speech. Do you wanna talk about Cohen versus California? Did you stop my time? You did. Speaker 1: It is stopped. Speaker 0: I'm gonna continue. No. It didn't stop. It's still counting. I'm looking at it. It's two minutes. Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one more chance, and then I'm gonna ask you to sit down. Speaker 0: For what? Speaker 1: To abide by our new policy. Speaker 0: You can't ban specific words. My my particular view of your policies, the fact you got all these kids raped by a transgender person and then you keep pushing transgender stuff on children, is that your policy is completely out of line with America. Now this is a transgender flag, and I would like to show you demonstrably what America and the voters think about the transgender ideology being pushed on children. So that right there is what America thinks of your transgender policy four four three. Most people don't support this garbage. Literally support chopping off appendages of children and giving them puberty blockers that make them sterile. You're a monster, all of you, the ones that vote for it support this stuff. The board is out of line. The board's policies are out of line. You guys don't know what you're doing. You're pissing everybody off.

Tara moved to this area with her parents from Texas five years ago. She described having two flags and said one is a flag of the “third temple,” which she and others want to build, hopefully on the Temple Mount. She said many people are holding the same flag. She also said the Third Temple movement wants to demolish Al-Aqsa, described as the third holiest place for Muslims, and build a Jewish temple on the site. While she was being surrounded by demonstrators, she said the demonstrators wanted to put stickers on her. She described what the stickers say: “Kahanat.” She said “Kahanat” idolizes Meir Kahane, described as a far right American rabbi who moved to Israel and was convicted of multiple acts of terror. When asked what she would do to Palestinians living in the area—specifically in places like the Old City or in Liberty Place—Tara responded that she thinks “Islam is cancer.” She said, “and you don’t transfer cancer to another patient.” She said, “That’s not moral.” She then said, “You have to destroy cancer.” When asked what “destroy” looks like for her, she said it means “either kill or reeducate all Muslims.”

In the aftermath of 9/11, Muslim Americans in the US have faced ongoing discrimination and racism. This is a continuation of a long-standing issue. The Republican Party has consistently targeted and marginalized women of color, showing a pattern of racism. I personally received death threats from a member of the Republican caucus, which highlights the dangerous environment we face. It is crucial for all perspectives to come together and address these threats to our lives.

In the last 5 years, studies have focused on vaccine refusers, specifically those who refuse vaccines rather than being hesitant. The speaker suggests removing all white individuals from the United States, as it is a diverse city with 7 Asian languages spoken.

Islamophobia is rising, particularly since October 7th, but it was already too high before then. Islamophobia is intolerable, can never be justified, and requires a zero-tolerance approach.

The speaker states that Muslims do not want to assimilate into American society but instead want to introduce Islamic ideals to revamp American thinking and convert people to Islam. They believe Muslims should not feel distaste or intolerance towards Americans because they are potential Muslims. Education is considered a crucial area for Muslims to focus on. The speaker clarifies that the ultimate goal is not just to integrate into the existing system but to establish independent Islamic systems. These systems are not only for Muslims but also aimed at converting all people in the country to Islam, with the long-term objective of making all of America Muslim.

Tulsi Gabbard is attending a rally in DC to support Israel and condemn antisemitism, stating people are traveling from across the country to take a stand against antisemitism and Hamas. She criticizes President Biden and Vice President Harris for not attending. Gabbard says the Democratic Party is led by Islamist apologists, which is why she left the party. Gabbard recounts an incident in New York City where pro-Hamas protesters attacked a van of Jewish people. She emphasizes the threat of Islamist terrorists, whose goal is to establish a global Islamist caliphate and destroy anyone who doesn't adhere to their radical interpretation of Islam. She says this threat needs to be taken seriously by leaders and defeated militarily and ideologically. She also comments on antisemitism on college campuses, saying students are hiding in libraries, and criticizes the White House for not denouncing or taking action to stop it.
