Shiite Muslims establishing a US foothold

Sayed Mohammad Jawad Al-Qazwini was 12 years old when his family fled Iran and settled in Los Angeles. Now 28, he sat with some 70 Shiite Muslims at the Iman Islamic Center on a recent Friday night, preaching about the Mosque of the Trash Picker in Iran, and a Turkish mosque peculiarly named "As if I have eaten."

Al-Qazwini, a descendant of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, soon veered into a theme he had raised before on his two-week visit to the center: the discrimination and violence that Shiite Muslims have suffered at the hands of Sunni Muslims.

"Some Muslims don't like other Muslims praying on the rock," Al-Qazwini said, referring to a biscuit-sized stone or piece of dried mud that Shiites place their foreheads on when prostrating during prayer. Sunnis do not use this stone, and some believe it goes against Islamic tradition, and is even heresy.

"It's happened to me at least 50 times in Saudi Arabia. They see the rock, they take it away and say that it's shirk, polytheism," Al-Qazwini declared, eliciting gasps from his audience.

    It's really scary how much territory the muslims has taken in the US – I mean that both with regards to land and mental acceptance.

      Answer…
      Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

      This will turn around if We the People turn back to God and put Him first in our daily lives. How much time do we spend in His Word each day. How much time in prayer? How much time attending your church to get good Bible teaching instead of emotionalism that doesn't last any further than the church door as they leave. How much Bible Doctrine do you apply to your daily life?

      II Tim 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

      You want to see something scary, visit Dearborn, Michigan, sometimes referred to as America's Muslim capital. As of 2003, Dearborn is home to more Muslims outside the Middle East other than Paris, France. Christians have already been arrested for preaching the Gospel at the Arab Festival held there every year.

        Oh my! What a horrible thing! It should be stopped right away before… Oops I can't figure out what harm it is to have an arab festival other than making the so called "tolerant" christians mad..

          Did you even read my post? I did not say it was wrong to have an Arab festival. I said it is wrong for Christians to be arrested for exercising their First Amendment rights at the festival. Next time, read a little more carefully before making a snarky comment.

          "Tolerant Christians really feel sorry for the ignorance of the hate filled, excuse me, the love filled Muslims. I believe it is the "tolerant, loving Muslims who are swarming the streets murdering anyone and everyone possible because of a book, I believe, putting down their loving, kind Mohammad.These loving people are killing people who had nothing to do with the book. Makes no difference, their "love" makes it necessary.

          muslims are among the most intolerant people in the world.

    • pandeter

      How many muslims have harmed your life in any way??? So who cares if someone is Muslim? You want tolerance for Christians but not for Muslims.. That's consistent..

      • Evermyrtle

        Are you a Muslim??? America's practicing president is a Muslim and he has signed more anti-GOD laws than any president ever before, and of course that is against the Christians of this country. Oh yes, I do know how your feel about Christians but, the same as you , we get a choice in who to believe in, given to us by GOD.

        I would have to say that millions of muslims have harmed my life in some way.

    These Shiites are among the less than 15% of annual legal needy
    immigrants. 66% of annual legal immigrants and at least 95% of illegal
    immigrants are not needy or needed as advertised. The Muslim kings and princes
    that have fortified homes here in the US must be among the less than 15% of the
    needed or at least “good” for building bridges between nations.

    Meanwhile six million people die of starvation each year.
    Most in African nations and their need is ignored. Really matters not though,
    not even the US could take in even half this number annually without destroying
    the US economy and environment. Yet US net immigration has for over a decade taken
    in more than a third of two million annually.

    Two million, three million or six million annually will not
    make much of a dent in the 80 million annual population growth rate around the
    world. It will make a huge impact on the US population growth rate, its economy
    and environment.

    True the once great industrial nations have their young
    believing someone else (old fashion thinkers) will make the next generation
    thus these nations are headed for a huge population decline. Those that use
    this fact as a reason for huge immigration numbers are in line with Hitler’s Nazi
    party and Islam. Maybe you are not seeking the extinction of nations and races
    but that is the result and you are most definitely supporting it! Hitler and
    Islam use the “same good” will speak you use.

    Only racist and/or selfish pigs would deny someone seeking a
    better life for them and theirs to enter. Over population is a myth, only
    structure (order) is needed. We can place everyone in the entire world in Texas
    and draft people to serve in the fields.

    Americans must face the reality of the future. American
    voters were told of the future realities in the past and decided that avoiding these
    realities reeked of racism, selfishness etc… thus reasoning that future
    realities are not possible. Past and present examples lack the superior intellects
    we have now, you back wood, gun toting religious freaks!

    For the race baiters and the discredit the messenger for
    lack of sources. There are plenty of sources to back this message, name just
    one to back up the advertising you believe in. Like maybe the one that tells
    you that “you’re in good hands with”, blind hypocrites.
