Why I Am Never Going Back To America

AS Salam Alykom

May be this article contains some inappropriate words, but I still thought of posting it.

Why I Am Never Going Back To America

May 10, 2003

By Zeba Khan, US Citizen

A Thoughtful Article By A Sister For The Parents In America.

I may be an American citizen, but that's not my fault. I ask the reader to please forgive me that much and continue with the rest of the article. As a consequence of having been born, raised, and college educated in the States, I have gora-saab Urdu, a severe allergy to mosquito bites and a blue passport, but again, that's not my fault.

Often at parties, mostly at weddings, people (with sons my age who eat, drink, and dream in red, white and blue) will slyly ask whether or not I have plans of returning. I say no, not at all, not unless pigs fly, hell freezes over, and the Cubs win the World Series, all on the same day.

Then they ask me why, and I can never answer them. I'm ashamed to, and the reason why is because the true nature of American society is obscene, and Islamic Taboos are often rites of Passage back in God Bless America. The sins that Americans proudly broadcast are so fahosh (obscene!) that I cannot mention them in mixed company in more than a whisper. But luckily I can type though, and here, dear readers, dear sly aunties, dear people who think I'm insane, is why I'm never going back to the US.

America is famous for turning out highly qualified doctors and engineers, and I will not insult their universities and colleges. The Ivy League universities offer the best education that money can buy...in an environment where 90% of all on-campus rape cases are linked to alcohol and approximately 240,000 to 360,000 of the nation's 12

million current undergraduates will ultimately die from alcohol-related causes. (Stats from SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website)

But like I said, I'm not going to slander institutions where illicit affairs betweens professors and students are common enough to be part of campus life. It's a lovely collegiate society where emergency phones with blue light beacons are installed every 100 or so feet on college grounds to curb crime and sexual assault. I said I wouldn't slander the colleges, and I'm not. To slander something is to lie, to demean it with incorrect information, and I'm doing neither. Everything I've mentioned it true blue (and white, and red) and 100% certifiable by anyone

who has been to college in any major city like Chicago.

Enough about college, let's go further back to public high school. I'll tell you no lies here, either. The state of Illinois has mandated a health and safety class for all students, and the class is taught to grade 9. The safety part of the class curriculum includes driver's education. The health part of the class involves skin care, fitness, how

to use a condom, how to recognize transmitted diseases in your sexual partner and why, if you decide you're a homosexual; it's ok to feel that way.

I was blessed, truly blessed by Allah that I was absent the day that my teacher showed a live video of a woman giving birth, the natural way, in the nude, in stirrups. This all-natural, all-nude video was shown in front of my mixed 9th grade class, it was shown to both the boys and the girls at the same time. I heard horror stories the next day from my fellow miserable Muslimahs.

I, and hundreds of thousands of other young Muslims who were unfortunate enough to be educated in the US, was taught that being gay (Hijra!) is quite normal. Never mind the two girls sitting outside the class window kissing each other with open mouths - they're exercising their right of choice. Homosexuality is not a deviation, it's a lifestyle, and a rather trendy one at that.

Hooray for gay-rights and the yearly gay-pride parades held in most major cities of the US. If you're fortunate enough not to know what a gay-pride parade is, allow me to ruin your day. It's a procession of cars, decorated floats, dancers, near-naked hijras and brainwashed heterosexuals who are proud to be part of a sin so severe that it caused the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Back to school, if your son or daughter needs a condom so that they can have a little fun on their lunch break, they don't need to be ashamed. They can just go to the school counselor's office and get one from her, for free. If any of the students want to exercise the freedom that the American forefathers fought and died for, and engage in some pre-marital relations without any of the consequences, then there are hundreds of NGO's to help them with birth control, adoption, or abortion, without ever letting the parents know what's going on.

I'm being quite bay-sharam, I know, but how else can I explain these things? How else can I tell you that high-school in Chicago, a very average place, is a beer-drinking, pot-smoking, hormonally charged orgy where young girls and boys play merry-go-round with their sexual partners. Oh, and there's very high-quality biology, chemistry and physics in there somewhere too.

If you think that my merely mentioning this is outrageous, then what do you think of the unfortunate Pakistanis and Muslims who study this as part of school curriculum and are taught to practice these things in their daily life? It's not their fault they're subjected to such an immoral brainwashing, and that's why I call them (and myself)

unfortunate instead of guilty. These poor 9th graders (aged 14-15 on average) did not chose to be born in a society where talk is cheap, love is free, and God is banned from public schools.

Yes, God is officially banned in public schools. Prayer in school is quite a controversial issue back over there in God Bless America. Religion is a private affair, and much like STD's, you're supposed to keep them to yourself.

The American educational assault goes farther than immorality; it extends into the illogical and absurd. Did you know that our ancestors were monkeys? What? You say that you knew your ancestors, and though one of your uncles had a low forehead, he was hardly simian? You may also say that the first man was Prophet Adam, peace and blessings be upon him, and he was no monkey. You know this because God said so, not just in Islam but in all three major religions of the world, and plus evolution has been deemed impossible by a huge but muffled community of scientists. (Read Evolution Deceit: The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism... by Harun Yahya) If you make the mistake of expressing your religious beliefs in class, you will be laughed out of class and scolded when you come eventually come back.

Teacher:(laughing with cocky attitude further bolstered by authority and his/her own brainwashing) "Silly, backwards, fundamentalist student, how foolish can you be to believe in God? What, have you ever seen God?

Look around, I don't see anything remotely worship-able in the universe, do you?"

Student:(muttering under breath to avoid being failed for bad behavior) "Well teacher, come to think of it, when I look around I can't see radio waves, microbes, heat, radiation, wind, or even your brain for that matter..."

The secular American scientific community boasts of its superior knowledge, but if you went by the same empirical logic that they use to ignore God (seeing is believing) then they don't have any brains, either. Both belief in God and belief in your teacher's brain can only be confirmed by sight apparently, and since both cases involve

death to do so, (dying to see God, killing your teacher and extracting his brain...) then the issue stays mostly unresolved in circles who refuse to use higher reasoning.

I must stop here and give credit to a few very intelligent, very religious college professors that I had. For example, Dr. P. Lancki, a religious Christian and a professor of Microbiology. During a long conversation about religion, science and society at large, Dr.Lancki told me with wonder in her eyes how it was impossible for a single cell,

miraculous in function and complex in design, to have been created by accident or random events. Not one single cell could be produced through the methods that educators teach to students in the US; evolution, but Dr.Lancki is forbidden to teach that in her class. "God," one of her coworkers told her, "...died with the dinosaurs. Man doesn't need religion anymore."

Times change. Where God was once called on sincerely to bless America, He is now used only for purposes of pro-war propaganda and occasionally brought up to take accountability off the shoulders of criminals. "I'm a

sociopath murderer, and God made me this way! I'm gay! And God made me this way! I'm a pedophile, and God made me this way!"

Religion in American is approached in a way that's comical if it wasn't so idiotic. In accordance with typical non-judgmental morality, one religion is no better than the next, and all religions take a back-seat to freedom. You may not believe that homosexuality is good, but in America you believe that people should be free to practice

homosexuality if they like. Never mind that you believe it is wrong, if you say so in public then you are labeled as intolerant, homophobic, a closet-queer, and of course, a bigot. Bigots get fired by their employers for being

closed-minded, but gays get free health-insurance from their employers for the same-sex partner they happen to be living with at the moment.

To move back to America would be to subject my future children to a thorough brainwashing, regardless of how well I tried to prevent it. When filth is broadcast on TV, sung about on the radio, advertised on the internet, and taught in school, how can you even remotely hope to fight it? Whatever you teach you children between breakfast and school, school and soccer practice, soccer practice and dinner is untaught a thousand times over once the child leaves home.

True, there are some Muslims who come out of America with basically sound minds and characters, but for every sound mind there are 100 corrupt ones who live with their Christian boy-friends, blame God for homosexuality, use the Masjid as a meat-market for dating and flirting, and join organizations like the Al-Fateha group. Al-Fateha sounds holy enough from where you're sitting, I'm sure, but it's actually an organization of homosexual Muslims in the US and Canada.

The American society is a system of thinly veiled chaos, and ever so often the veil is lifted. In New York, currently the world's most famous city, the Puerto Rican National Day Parade was one such example. In broad daylight, buzzed on alcohol and under the cover of mob-action, two years ago a group of over 50 young men traveled downtown New York assaulting women. Police stood idly by as women were stripped naked, sexually assaulted, sprayed with liquor and raped in the streets on New York. Did darkness hides the mob from the police? No, it was

mid-afternoon. Were the men stopped right away? No, they rampaged for over three hours.

This is American society, this is what happens to a people who do not believe in God, whose conduct depends on whether or not anyone will catch them if they do anything wrong. There is no humility or fear of Divine Retribution to keep men acting as men, there is only fear of the police. And when the police invisible or ineffectual, the men

become rapists, murderers, barbarians and savages.

A funny comparison exists between Karachi and New York, two major cities. In Karachi, when the electricity goes out, children play chupan-chupai or cricket in the streets. In New York, when the lights go out, women are assaulted, people are robbed, and stores are looted. This is not because the electric gates of the prisons have opened, releasing all of the criminals. No, this is because the electric lights and eyes of the police have gone blind, and in the cover of darkness, the common New Yorker becomes a common criminal.

I'm not nuts you know, I'm just honest. You can't get me to go back to America, not for money, not for fame, not even under the flimsy pretense of doing Dawah in America. I'm not going to lie to myself and say that living in America is Dawah, because I can't hide that my tax dollars pay Israeli settlers $10,000 a year, per family member, to occupy Palestine and to kill the Ummah I profess to be a part of. A white-picket fence and a two car garage in the suburbs is not Dawah, its greed. Sending your children to the best schools is not Dawah, its opportunism,

its taking advantage of a system built on the backs of third-world countries and dead Muslims.

Thousands of Afghanis have died to put cheaper gas in your sports utility vehicle, thousands of Iraqis died to keep your car running for less money, your heating bills down, and your salary higher. Thousands of Palestinians have been shot with bullets that your tax-dollars bought and thousand more will if you stay and become the ideal immigrant. To be the tax-paying, flag-waving, English speaking Desi who is repulsed by 'backwards' notions of religion, and sends your children to get a good education at a Catholic school, is to be the perfectly assimilated,

perfectly absorbed hypocrite.

How convenient it is for a Muslim to condemn America for its tyranny, but take no action against it at all. It's like a shepherd that shares a cave with wolves who kill his own sheep, but stays because the cave is warm and the mutton is free. The shepherd stays with the wolves under the pretense of doing Dawah to the wolves.

He hopes that by living with the wolves, the wolves will feel sympathy for the shepherd, they will better understand him, and maybe not kill his sheep anymore. How very convenient, very illogical, and very beneficial for the shepherd! Never mind that it's wrong, just remember that the cave is warm and the mutton is free, the streets are clean, the skyscrapers are shiny, and your children are being given quality wolf-education and eating quality mutton from your murdered sheep.

Dear aunties, I would recommend that you set your sights on some other Amreekan Palat, I may move a hundred times in my life, but never back to the country whose ruler has reinstated the crusades. Never to the land

where a 67 year old Afghani Imam is in camp x-ray for giving Mujahideen dry bread crusts. Never to a land where my own Muslim brothers are collateral damage. I swear by Allah, I will never make that mistake again.

Never.

Asalaamu alikum,

This article is extremely disturbing and unfortunately, true. But more than that I think this illustrates the dire need for strong and sincere Muslims to come to America, not stay away. If you want to live a life of jihad, here you are! It is no easy task to be or remain a pious Muslim in this country. But if you can accomplish that in a society such as this, can you imagine the reward?

Good Muslim brothers and sisters come here from abroad, find out what it is really like, and leave for a more descent environment. What happens to those who are left behind?

I tell you this is a real fear of mine. America in my opinion is in serious moral decline. It can be saved, and Islam can save it- one person at a time.

The number of reverts is on the rise, but if there are no wise teachers to help them strengthen themselves, what use will it be? The reverts will not survive without the spiritually healthy Muslim born, either from abroad or domestic. America may be many things, but America has potential. Even still. I just hope the rest of the world does not give up on it.

That is very correct. I see a lot of Muslims who do not know much about islam, and there is a dire need to dawah (propogation of Islam). But most Muslims I have met are either not sincere, or don't think that dawah is their concern. Most (those who I know) have moved here to raise their living standards, and their children now know almost nothing about Islam. Their aim is only to educate their children in the worldly affairs, and want their children to succeed only in this world. Alas ! This world is short, and the after life is eternal.

There is a need for a strong Muslim society. Muslims are scattered in the US, and Muslims, specially Muslim youth do not feel a sense of belonging, that's they adopt the kafir way of life. I have met a lot of muslim teenagers who are distraught, and have adopted to the kafir way of life, and even avoid Muslims around them.

I don't what to say to both of you Ali and Jennifer I guess you are very much right. We have a duty to accomplish a task to fulfill. I am so shy to disclose this to both of. On my youth Sobhan Allah I had so many chances to move to the US (marriage proposals from Egyptian immirgrants). I turned them all down. To everybody I was crazy how can I turn down a chance to go to the US land of dreams. I saw it land of no dreams. I always answered (although I was not even wearing Hijab at that time) I can not live in a place where I can not hear the Adhan.

But you are both right. May Allah send the adequate individuals who may shoudler the Dawa`a responsibility to this country. Make easy for all Muslims there and everywhere else. ameen ameen ameen

I pray to Allah to lead us all to the right path of Islam

It is very interesting topic because I have the same feeling not to go back to USA even I lived their for years

And I got the feeling that only governors and congress of USA doing like Pharoon to act like the god of the universe

It is not easy to tell me I have to live there for dawah and at the same time I will be sharing the governor of USA in killing others

It is part of our duties if we can save the nation of Islam and all insane humans until they get to know Allah blessing and his commands to save us

Muslim should believe that Allah commands will never changed we are getting what we deserve we should blame And correct ourselves first and our related family members then others

Allah is supporting us if we ask and the answer is granted at the right time but we do not know

Forgive me if I make writing mistakes and I hope my intention is purely to Allah

wa alaykum assalam

I've been living in USA for about 7 years now, came when I was in highschool, and studied highschool in public school. Alhamdulillah Allah saved me from getting messed up like many Muslim teenagers who go to public schools.

Since 9 11 I have gotten sicker of this place and wish to go to a Muslim country, even if many of them are not in good shape and many Muslims are lost.

As for dawah in USA, as long as a person is in USA it is his duty do dawah, but if he can leave this country and he fears for his deen or his childrens deen if he stays in this place then he should leave immediatly..... It is wrong to stay in this place if you can leave it and you fear that your children will get lost in this country. I know Muslim families that have lost their kids in this country, and it really hurts. I also see many teenage Muslim girls and boys going the wrong way, and it is very painful.

If I get the chance to leave this country and go to a Muslim country I would not hesitate in doing it, I can do dawah in Muslim countries too, they need it there very badly too.

Muslims who want to come to US for dawah, should not come if they fear for themselves or their families.

Also we should emember that dawah is needed in Muslim countries too and very badly, sadly [Image: sad.gif]

I would never want to raise my children in this country and go through the pains many Muslims went through raising their children here. A Muslim should not risk his children's deen to save other people, his children are priority.

I make du'a in my prayer that I go to a Muslim country. But since I am still in USA I do my duty of dawah.

Muslims who are here and can't leave should do dawah, and make more effort in it; sadly there are many Muslims who live in USA who do not do dawah.

Also many Muslims can do dawah to non Muslims who are in US and other countries from Muslim countries through the internet !

Sorry if my reply is unorganized, my thaughts worn't organized so the reply is a little unorganized.

your sister in Islam

I concur with you. I also was reminded of a hadeeth, by a Muslim who came to the US for his college and is going back to falasteen, in which a man gives advice to the murdered who had murdered a lot of people that he should leave this place as this is the place of corrupt people.

Muslim who fear their imaan in this place should leave for a muslim country, or move into a strong Muslim community.

First of all there should be a legitimate reason for any Muslim to settle in a country of the non-believers, and one of those reasons can be Dawah. However there are points to consider and conditions to be met before taking Dawah as a reason. The first point is the intention as the prophet (pbuh) said in a hadith that all actions are based on intentions, if the intention of the Muslim is to live there permanently then the Muslim should not go there because that is like making Hijrah (immigration) to the land of the non-believers, but rather the Muslim should have the intention of staying there temporarily. The second point is that the country chosen should be one that allows Muslims to practice their religion without being oppressed or prevented from practicing the rituals of Islam (prayer in congregation for men, Hijab for the Muslim women, etc). The third point is on the Muslim himself, there is no doubt that a Muslim who goes to the country of the non-believers and lives among them will be exposed to their environments (which are corrupt and immoral), ways of living, their laws, etc, thus a Muslim who goes there should be one who can protect and maintain all his religious commitment with no exceptions and also that of his family (especially the children). For any country in which the rules of Allah(swt) are rejected and Muslims are not able to practice the rituals of Islam is a land of Kuffar and it will pose a great threat on the Muslim who is not secure on his commitment (especially at our present time), and even for those secure they will be in a state of stress and mental pressure. Furthermore there is a very important point many Muslims when they live among non-believers they start to befriend them, to feel love towards them which is a great mistake for in the Quran it says (meaning):

[b:7b5e54eb25]“You (O Muhammad) will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad), even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred (people)”[/b:7b5e54eb25] Surah Almujaddalah verse 22.

[i:7b5e54eb25]By the name of Allah how can a Muslim love the enemies of Allah (swt)[/i:7b5e54eb25]??. Moreover the prophet (pbuh) said in a hadith that whoever loves a group of people [b:7b5e54eb25]IS ONE OF THEM[/b:7b5e54eb25].

I just want to add before going so far as to consider doing Dawah on the non-believers in their own countries we should first look at ourselves and our own families and relatives, for we are entrusted towards those. Also we must not forget that Dawah is not needed in countries of the non-believers only but Dawah also is needed in Muslim countries first, today Muslims themselves are weak in faith and their creed has been corrupted or else this would not have been the sate of our Ummah or would it????, moreover in our present time the non-believers themselves are so many in Muslim countries :cry: . Furthermore there is an etiquette for doing Dawah and since Dawah is a duty on every Muslim ,we all should know the etiquette of Dawah ,for sometimes taking actions when the person is in a state of ignorance about a matter does more harm than good.

This is my personal opinion on this issue I don't think it's appropriate for any Muslim who is not in need to go there.

One common point among some of the replies here which is reflecting upon the Ayah:

[b:b94fafd032]"O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones[/b:b94fafd032][/color:b94fafd032]" (Attahreem 6)

I know what u mean Jennifer. I also understand how u feel. If all of Muslims would flee the USA who would establish the Deen. But on the other hand you actually need no human support as all of u. But rather a Divine one. We all do. On another topic, I expressed that my personal main concern on this forum is always to bring back Muslims to the correct path rather than trying to attract non Muslims. We are already 1.5 billion. But in fact as described by our beloved Prophet (PAPBUH) just as the foam or waste remaining after rain. Jennifer we all need to strenghthen ourselves. And don't worry sister Allah promised in His Quran [b:b94fafd032]"Allâh has promised those among you who believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant [/color:b94fafd032]them succession to (the present rulers) in the land, " (Annour 55)
<span>[/color:b94fafd032]
</span>[/b:b94fafd032]. You have the solution clearly descbribed in this Ayah. Hold on sister. Nobody knows I am not to decided on Allah's behalf. But your reward could be far multiplied. And I sure supplicate to Allah that we meet under the shade. ameen ameen ameen
