Risale-i Nur in America

[Anonim]

In America, many efforts are made subliminally and directly to paint the Black race as inferior and violent. Much of this is done to dehumanize Black
families so that economic and social policies of oppression and apartheid
are maintained in order to contain America’s Black population from melting
into the mainstream of American society.

A vast majority of White America deplores the notion of any mixing of Black
blood with White blood. Many white Americans see the mixing of Black blood

with whites as a deluding of white racial supremacy.

This evil notion is rooted in the inhumane practice of slavery which once
permeated in the United States. These wicked ideas are evil and have been up
held by forces in the United States who claim they are servants of God. Such

white groups are known as the White Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
Skin Heads and the Breed.

These American domestic terrorists groups roam the rural countryside of the United States and terrorize anyone who is not white or of the Christian
faith as they see it.

For the past few weeks, I have been unable to write for Yeni Asya News
because I have been engaged in a struggle to defeat these groups terrorizing a small town in the Eastern part of the state of Ohio.

In January, a local activist organizing in the region of the Appalachian
foothills of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio alerted activist networks around the country that the Ku Klux Klan and a white power militia group was attacking Black students, and terrorizing Black families in a town called

Nelsonville, Ohio.

I received an email from a friend in the area who informed me that the
situation was serious and that Black students at a small technical college
in Nelsonville were especially in danger because an edict by the terrorist
organizations was made calling for the murder of young Black students at the
school.

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah;
even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he
rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not
the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort
your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well Acquainted
with what you do”. [4:135]

I responded to my friend’s call for help. I am a Muslim! It is my duty to
stand against injustice and to promote justice. I see it as my obligation to
defend the weak against the wicked, and to promote the way of Islam in times of injustice.

A Muslim loves his country and fellow citizens and residents, and at the
same time, whenever a Muslim sees that any injustice is being committed,
a Muslim should rise to expose the evil of the injustice.

“Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he can not, then with his heart [by hating it and feeling that it is wrong] – and that is the weakest of faith” (Narrated by Muslim, 49)

There should be little doubt in anyone’s mind that the Qur’an or the
biography (Seera) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be unto him)—that Islam is a religion that requires activism from its followers. The Qu’ran repeatedly exhorts its readers to be proactive in establishing good and preventing evil.

In Nelsonville, Ohio, I spoke of peace and Islam. I spoke of Bediuzzaman
Said Nursi and his profound and enlightening movement in Turkey. I was able to get the people of this small town to listen to how Said Nursi stood against words of hate and used his words to promote peace and Islam.

Our struggle to defeat racist groups in the United States will continue, but
at least for one moment in time, this Muslim was able to stand against hate
groups and promoted the ideas of Risale-i Nur in a small town in Eastern
Ohio.

Next week I will share my experiences with horses in Ohio.

Allah Akbar.
