What every other religion in the U.S. doesn’t need to be told or coddled by politicians and the FBI, Muslims do need. Rather than accept that being an American citizen requires adherance to U.S. law and some level of loyalty to the country, Muslims cling to Islam, sharia, and the status of victimhood. What other religion in the U.S. requires this type of special behavior? How many ‘religious’ centers have a Law Enforcement Day? On the other hand, what other religion hijacked multiple airplanes and killed nearly 3,000 in several hours on 9/11, while co-religionists celebrated in Virginia and across the Muslim world?
Approximately two hundred people gathered at the Makkah Learning Center on Saturday, September 20th in Millersville, Maryland for a special iftar with invited non-Muslim guests, including local law enforcement officials, clergy, and surrounding community members.
A collaborative effort between the Makkah Learning Center and the Anne Arundel County Muslim Council, the main purpose of the event was to create an on-going relationship with the mainstream community, particularly with the law enforcement and the interfaith community. Special guests at the iftar included Maryland state senator Jim Rosapepe, FBI special agents, as well as members of GAIN (Greater Annapolis Interfaith Network).
There was an overwhelming response from the Muslim community, who were excited at the chance to educate others about Islam. “Exposure is what we need to correct the misconceptions the Islamic community is dealing with,” mentioned Bowie resident and active community member Maher Kharma. Kharma was one of the lead organizers of the dinner, and believes that Muslims have a crucial role to play with the law enforcement community. “Working with the law enforcement community is what we need to empower the community, several people hold misconceptions against law enforcement,” he said.
Amy Lyons, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Baltimore Field Office echoed the words of Kharma. “I think that by building personal relationships with people, we can break down the mystery behind the FBI. The more we communicate, the more we build relationships. [This way, the] Muslim community will feel [more comfortable] in speaking to the FBI and the better we can serve the Muslim community in serving this country,” she said. Although this was Lyons’ first visit to MLC, she previously met with Imam Arafa and other Imams in the area. MLC hopes to have a continuing dialogue with the FBI as well as other law enforcement agencies by holding a “Law Enforcement Day” at MLC, planned for the end of October. Source
