MUSLIM ALLIANCE IN NORTH AMERICA March 23, 2012 - 18 Rabi Al-Thani 1432 MANA SUPPORTS CALL FOR JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN
As-Salaamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullah, Dear Fellow Believers:
As the airwaves continue to heat up with a call for justice in the apparent murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, we of the Muslim Alliance in North America join our voice to those denouncing the wanton killing of yet another innocent African American youth.
Those of us who are not in denial as to the ugly reality of race and class in 21st century America, know the scenario all too well. Often when police officers kill the innocent unarmed there is uproar, but this situation is far, far worse.
Trayvon's killer was a civilian "wanna-be" cop on a vigilante mission, with a mind poisoned by racism and a soul filled with hatred. His action was not an act of self-defense. It was a violent fantasy made real, and facilitated by local laws in the state of Florida.
We encourage all Muslims to support Trayvon's family in their quest for justice. What happened to that innocent young man could happen to anyone of our sons, nephews, grandsons, or brothers. Do any of us doubt that? Not only should this young man's killer be brought to justice, but the Department of Justice's investigation should include the local police department, who appear to have obstructed justice rather than to have facilitated it. Imam Al-Hajj Talib 'Abdur-Rashid, Deputy Amir Muslim Alliance in North America
Cair also and all people of conscience strive to combat Racism and injustice.
We must see it not as a Cristian black issue but as a human issue , not black or white or any other color or faith issue , it has to be investigated and talk about from all perspectives in order to find solutions and work together for justice for all.
We are one human family from Adam and Eve, may Allah have mercy and give us wisdom to see the truth as such and make us follower of truth and defender of justice with peace and wisdom . Ammen
