Omar M. Ahmad, chairman of the board of the Council on American-Islamic relations, spoke before a packed crowd at the Flamingo Palace banquet hall on Peralta Boulevard, urging Muslims not to shirk their duty of sharing the Islamic faith with those who are "on the wrong side."
Muslim institutions, schools and economic power should be strengthened in America, he said. Those who stay in America should be "open to society without melting (into it)," keeping mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam, he said.
"If you choose to live here (in America) ... you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam," he said.
Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant, he said. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth, he said.
... in a related story, a great friend and supporter of C.A.I.R., Gov. Jeb Bush, entertains the idea of running for President in '08.

Methinks Monsieur is living in a dream world. His country is in flames from time to time. Fear will make you withdraw like that.
As you suggest, Lady, our efforts need to be directed at eliminating C.A.I.R.'s influence.
Still, he looks cool in those shades! : )
