If you want to know groups representing Muslim sentiments in USA, ''CAIR' is one of them. (Council for American Islamic Relations) As for political issues, I think that right now Muslims in America are facing bigger issues than same-sex marriage, contraceptive provision and abortion. Muslims are trying to fight the negative image and so-called terrorism laws that are targeting Muslim Americans today. Whether or not homosexuals get the right to marry, or abortion is banned - is not an issue of priority for many Muslim Americans at the moment. Infact even for Chrisian Americans, I'd say that perhaps they should be trying to prevent Wars, bring back troops, worry about health-care, educational reform, and have positive foreign-relations rather than worry about gay-marriage or abortion. Priorities. |

Salam Hughes and caringheart,
I am a bit confused as well as to the silence.
17:31] You shall not kill your children due to fear of poverty. We provide for them, as well as for you. Killing them is a gross offense.
I am a new to Islam and am confused as well. I am going to voice my opinion but I wonder where my brothers and sisters are....
Just know there are some like myself who are against this murder and will voice it now.

I am interested to know, Where is the Muslim voice in America?
While the Christian voice regarding the subjects of preserving traditional marriage, and the Obama health initiative that would cause violation of conscience in forcing religious institutions to provide contraception and abortion under its health care plans, has been widely heard, Why do we hear nothing from the Muslim community which feels just as strongly on these issues? Why are the Muslims keeping so silent? |
