Islam in the NYPD

~There are indeed Muslims who are 'American' by birth, and many who would readily assimilate into mainstream american society and life if they had control of their own lives. ....but they don't.
~Do you not wonder why?....because fundamentalist Islamist will not allow it, and it is they who are in control.
~Will this young Imam abide by the credence and laws of this land, or the dictates of senior fundamentalist Islam Mullahs who advocate "Shariah law" having precedent over all laws?
~I do not deny that I for one do not trust anything about this monotheistic theocratic faith called Islam that has insidiously been portraying itself as a "religion of peace".
~WORLDWIDE there is just to much evidence to the contrary to the purpose and intent of this "faith" and the violence it perpetrates on the societies it inhabits in the name of Allah...not only on those of their own faith who somehow violate their "Shariah law", but against those who oppose and do not subjugate themselves to the Islamic theocracy.
~ Renounce the practice of violence and accept the laws of the land that adopts them, fine, but looking into the effect of Islams presence in Europe so far?...not so good !

anyone see the irony is muslim pigs?

I'm a right to life kind of guy. I care not of the faith or culture, but mutual respect to life and liberty...somehow I find that grossly lacking within the Islamic theocratic faith and culture.

I don't believe in any organized religion, thier leaders it seems have hidden agendas of all sorts. I eblieve in God or a higher porwer or a third eye etc. As far as I am concerned organized religion world wise has been corrupted for many many generations.

There is extremism in a every almost every religion, 1 billion muslims in the world and many of them have made it into the 21st century. The ones stuck in 1500s have in my opinion 15 century views. But we honestly have many christian extremist among us too. Mental health I believe is the problem that runs through many of these extremist. Before 911 Osama Ben Laden had 20,000 extremist go through his training camps. Even the people of Iran held candle light viduals for 911 and that terrorist act. Iran even helped us in Afghanistan to try and kill Ben Laden, the war that followed in Iraq was a trumped up war and the torturing that took place incited thousands more extremist. What grew out of a war for oil has endangered thousands of innocents around the world. The mismanagement of the Iraq war and abuse of prisoners has caused the deaths of thousands of U.S. military personnel and brewed a small bunch of Islamic extremist into the hundreds of thousand new extremist's. Bush calling our war a crusade only added to these feelings. 911 was a crime of a few muslims extremist and should have been handled as a crime like the bombing of the World Trade center in 1993. Bush blew it because it was the perfect excuse to do what he wanted in Iraq.

well, the general tone here seems definitely to have skipped the "give 'em a fair trial" before the hanging part....

he sounds sincere, open and honest.

i'm a live and let live kind of guy, myself.

if any Muslims are willing to let me go my way without their interference, i can live with them any time.

if they insist on sharia law to include me or everyone around, or that i must give up freedoms which i consider MY birthright in order to be forced to live under their laws or customs, i will oppose "them" to the end, whether they be Muslim or Jewish or Christian or Baha'i or ANYTHING else.

statistically, the muslims seem to have the worst recent track record for "tolerance of other faiths" so i think their moderates need to either rein in the lunatics or clearly distance themselves from them, and do it loudly and often.

and that goes for the moderates and lunatic fundamentalists of ALL faiths, too.

the irony seems to be one that's been repeated here many times... after they demand our tolerance of them, they repay it with their intolerance of us, then accuse US of being intolerant!

Kudos plusaf, you have absolutely nailed the very essence of the Islamic faithfuls hypocrisy. Europe is just now awakening to that very fact!

What an awesome video! It's cool to see good and righteous Muslims in the news.

Organized religions are too influential on the unstable persons of the world . They are structured like corporations though the agenda is usually power of some sort or another , depending who is in charge at the moment . We also need to look after the mentally fragile and not stigmatize them . There are lots more in poverty stricken countries where the influence malnutrition is greatly underestimated . A little compassion has always gone farther than fear mongers want you to know .

What is shocking is that people are actually shocked to see a righteous Muslim in the news. Hmm. You local doctor is probably a Muslim, your dentist, your architect, your engineer,etc.........If people try to rid this country of Muslims they will find themselves without much of what is needed for life. Believe that.

This man is a world of difference from terrorist fanatics! I don't condemn moslems just those fanatics who want us to convert or die and will kill anyone for any warped reason they can find! It is these people who we can't allow to gain control of nuclear,biological,or chemical weapons because they will use them! If the taliban gains control of pakistan then they must be stopped by any means necessary!

Kudos Kennymotown! I like your comments...

The terrorist who attacked NY on 9/11, they where terrorist FIRST and Muslim second.Every religion has some kind of people who are Terrorist FIRST and their religion SECOND!! I was raised in a small southern town in a Christian household.In 2001 after the Terrorist attack,I began to look into Islam to see why the media was talking about "Muslim Terrorist's" and why Islam was talked about so badly.That looking into grew into studying Islam and in 2006 I became a Proud American Muslim.I had found the religion I had been looking for my whole life,and through Islam I found a greater respect for all life,all races,and all religions.I say all religions because by studying Islam I also was lead by the Holy Qur'an to look into other religions.For those who have talked badly about Islam and Muslims in your comment's need to take the time and do some looking of your own into thing's and find the true meaning's of thing's before speaking badly of them.And if you don't want to take the time to do that then think about this..The next time your Doctor says you need to have surgery, who do you have to thank for how clean the operating rooms are now? Or the next time your child has math homework, who was the first to introduce the algebra equations that is helping your child learn in school? And many more thing's. I will tell you who made those thing's possible...it was Muslims.Many thing's you enjoy in your day to day life were made possible by Muslim's decades ago.So before you cast judgement on all of the Islamic Faith, look into your daily life and see if you shouldn't be thanking that Faith before cast judgement.And before anyone says that it is just the religion of Islam having a 'terrorist" aspect of it, make sure you do your research and make sure you can say your religion has never had someone of that faith kill people in a gastly manner.I'm sure you will not find many religion's that are safe from the "terrorist" aspect. Peace and Blessing's in life to all who read this.

it makes me sad that so many people are so skeptical and hopeless when it comes to religion... especially my own religion. i am personally proud of Brother Khalid Latif for taking steps toward representing Islam in such a positive light in order to establish better relations with the rest of the community

I just wanna say that when I saw this I thought it was wonderful. You definitely don't hear about a positive Muslim prescence in the police departments, military, or even in NYC in general on the more mainstream news sources. It's good to see that someone is out there educating the people!
