Jamaat al-Muslimeen International Press Release
FINAL CALL FOR THE TRIP TO ATLANTA
Support Imam Jamil al-Amin: Challenge Injustice
Jamaat al-Muslimeen strongly urges all Muslims and people of
conscience who have the resources and the time to be in Atlanta
for the rally in support of Imam Jamil al-Amin. WHY? Because:
1. Unity against oppression is a cardinal principle of
Islam. Silence and inaction in the face of oppression is not permitted
by Allah and His messenger. Read what the Hadith says about the
three levels of faith when one sees great wrong being done. (No
other response is permitted to a believer.)
2. Unity between immigrant and indigenous Muslims can
also be illustrated by our gathering in Atlanta. Such unity is essential for
the cause of Islam in America, especially because, by and large, immigrants
and indigenous believers have gone their separate ways in many matters.
3. The U.S. government has been trying to "get" Imam Jamil
al-Amin for many years. It's about time we taught the government that its
actions against this Islamic leader are counter-productive.
4. Within the African-American community, as in other
communities, there is infiltration by government agents, opportunists and
politicians. The struggle to free Imam Jamil will help the
African-American community to achieve greater awareness of who is a
hidden "Tom" and who is really sincerely with the community.
5.Imam Jamil al-Amin is an independent, national level
leader of the Islamic UMMAH (community) in America. Our laziness in
supporting him will encourage the U.S. government to go further and further
in its abridgement of the rights of Muslims and oppressed communities in
America.
6.AMERICA's FREEDOM IS AT STAKE. Unless we unite and show our
strength in Atlanta, the government could commit serious crimes against
all dissident groups. Justice has already become a farce. Notice how in the
case of the Waco community, the victims are being blamed. The people are
being told that the 80 people (including women and children) who were killed
following the extended siege of David Koresh's community home KILLED
THEMSELVES. The government's tanks crashed into the bedrooms of that
community, yet the only people being blamed are the victims. Exactly the
same story was manufactured at the MOVE HOUSE IN PHILADELPHIA.
The oppressor does not look so much at skin color as at independence and
autonomy. If you are a TOM, uncle will not bother you however dark you
may be. Just scrape and shuffle!
7. Our 4 demands are central: i. AN INDEPENDENT INQUIRY. The system
must not 'investigate' itself. ii. OPEN THE FBI FILE. The people must know the
moves against the Imam during the last few years. iii. HONOR and RESPECT
the Imam for the national level leader he is. iv. HE MUST BE FREE to be with
his family and his community while the inquiry goes on. There is precedent for
such release in the history of the law.

Clarification: A brother from New York wanted to know if we consider
ourselves leaders of America's Muslims and hence call ourselves The Voice
of the Oppressed People. The answer is a clear NO. We are the servants of the
people. We will voice the concerns of the oppressed till many other voices
ring out and then we will be "A Voice" of the oppressed.
