Sen. Anitere Flore’s bill, SB 2040, will be on the agenda for the
Senate Judiciary Committee Meeting TODAY.
The meeting will be taking place from 3:15-5:15 p.m.

SB 2040 pushes all counties in Florida to implement the controversial 287 (g) immigration program, which turns all local law enforcement into immigration agents. With these powers, local police can ask anyone for papers regardless of their status. Just like Sheriff Joe Arpaio does in Arizona. This bill also mandates e-verify for all businesses under the threat of license revocation.
This is a reprehensible exploitation of immigrants for political gain. It will inevitably lead to racial profiling and will make Florida become the "show me your papers" state.We can't let this happen in the sunshine state.There is limited time to act!
CALL NOW!
Call Senate President Mike Haridopolos and local Senators who are members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Tell them We are Florida! and we don't want racial profiling laws in our state.
SCRIPT FOR THE CALL

"My name is ______ from the organization ______________ in ___________ County. I'm calling the Senator because we oppose all Arizona-style racial profiling laws in Florida, including the Senate version (SB 2040). These laws will make Florida's economy as bad as Arizona's and hurt us all. We want your office to oppose these bills and support the Sunshine State.”

Una copia de la ley de Arizona se votará el próximo lunes!
Llame a los miembros del Comité Judicial AHORA!

Para mas informacion acerca de la campana visite wearefl.com
El Proyecto de ley SB 2040 propuesto por la senadora Anitere Flore estará en la agenda de la reunión del Comité Judicial del Senado EL DIA DE HOY. La reunión se llevará a cabo de 3:15-5:00 p.m.

Una propuesta como la de la Sen. Flores obligaria que la policía local pidiera pruebas legales del estatus migratorio de toda persona detenida, incluso por violaciónes de tráfico, y someterlos a la custodia de ICE sin ser condenados por ningún delito. Esto incrementaria la injusta detención y deportación de inmigrantes inocentes, posibles víctimas y testigos de crimines.

Si la propuesta se converte en ley, requerira que todo negocio utilize el sistema E-Verify bajo la amenaza de revocación de la licencia.

Esta es sólo una de las dos propuestas de estilo de Arizona que inevitablemente dará lugar a la discriminación racial.

Tenemos que seguir expresando nuestra oposición a este proyecto de ley y otros semejantes! Contacte via llamada telefonica o correo electrónico al Comité Judicial del Senado y el Presidente Mike Haridopolos y use la siguiente guía cuando contesten sus llamadas:

The danger of disrespecting your parents

The Holy Prophet (S) said. “One who displeases the parents, (it is as if) he has displeased Allah. One who angers both his parents (it is as if) he has angered Allah.” Elsewhere, it is mentioned, “One who hurts his parents, hurts me and one who hurts me has hurt Allah. And the one who hurts Allah is accursed.” Āq al-Walidayn is Not Eligible For Divine Forgiveness The wretchedness of the Āq al-Walidayn is sufficiently evident from the fact that the trustworthy Jibrīl (a.s.) has cursed him and said, “One who is blessed with parents but does not fulfill their (his parent’s) rights will not be forgiven (his sins) by Allah.” 3 When Jibrīl (a.s.) said this, the Holy Prophet (S) uttered, ‘Amen’! DONT disrespect, shout, ignore, annoy, disobey, disregard, disturb our parents. They were looking after us when we were nothing but an easy prey to anything around. They were awake during the nights to make us sleep and feel us secured. We may not remember a thing in the childhoo

Medical, Scientific and religious Reasons for not Eating Pork:

People ask me all the time, Why don't you eat pork? ...Is it for  religious reasons? ...Are you vegetarian? Are you a Muslim or a Jew  ? Do you know that pork taste good ? Honestly, just today I was even asked for sound scientific evidence affirming the danger of eating pork. I will share a few findings with you. Medical and Scientific Reasons for not Eating Pork: This is a direct quote from "What the Bible Says About Healthy Eating" by Dr. Rex Russell. He attended Baylor School of Medicine in Houston, Texas and did his residency at the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota. Let us watch this short video , let the conversation begin: "One reason for God's rule forbidding pork is that the digestive system of a pig is completely different from that of a cow. It is similar to ours, in that the stomach is very acidic. Pigs are gluttonous, never knowing when to stop eating. Their stomach acids become diluted because of the volume of food, allowing all kind

An open letter to Jehovah Witness :

A letter to Jehovah Witness by Rachidm: Dear Jehovah’s Witnesses: I would like to share with you some biblical research based upon my discussions with Jehovah’s Witnesses friends. My wife used to be a Jehovah Witness. When we got married, I, as a  Muslim told her ; "you have the right to practice your religion". I even offered to give her a ride if needed to the Kingdom hall ( Jehovah Witness place of worship ) .  With an open mind, I supported her and told her I would never mind her practicing and preaching her religion. During our first couple years  of blessed and happy marriage together, I was privileged to engage with my parents in law (upon their request) in a comparative study between Islam and their beliefs. Although they were discouraged from dialogue since they believe their way is the only correct way, I always enjoyed a good open discussion about religion in general. My Mom in law offered me a copy of the New World Translation  (a

“And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden”. (Quran 35:18)

The idea of Jesus dying on the cross is central to the Christian belief.  It represents the conviction that Jesus died for the sins of mankind.  The crucifixion of Jesus is a vital doctrine in Christianity; however Muslims reject it completely.  Before describing what Muslims believe about Jesus’ crucifixion, it may be useful to understand the Islamic reaction to the notion of original sin. When Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree in paradise, they were not tempted by a serpent.  It was Satan who deceived and cajoled them, whereupon they exercised their free will and made an error in judgement.  Eve does not bear the burden of this mistake alone.  Together, Adam and Eve realised their disobedience, felt remorse and begged for God’s forgiveness.  God, in his infinite mercy and wisdom, forgave them.  Islam has no concept of original sin; each person bears responsibility for his own deeds. “And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden”. (Quran 35:18) There is no need

THE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN

Greetings of peace, This post is an answer to a new friend whom I recently met and respect , a devout Christian  passionate about sharing his religion with others , who challenged me to provide some proofs regarding why Muslims don't accept the doctrine of  original sin; a doctrine ( including the concept of trinity ) that  was  added by the Church at the Council of Nicaea some 325 years after Jesus left the earth.  Notice I say left the earth ( meaning resurected alive by Allah )  and not died yet or crucify as some claims ,  but that is a topic for another day. Back to the doctrine of original sin. Are we born with so called Original sin or born innocent ? Is a Newly Born Baby really a Sinner? Islam Challenges The Concept of Original Sin. Let us found out why ? let's take a look at the following passages from The Bible: (Deuteronomy 24:16)   “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the father
