Weekly MB Review: Blessed Eid / Thanksgiving I Straight Path I FBI I Loon to Amir
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the symbols from God: in them is (much) good for you: then pronounce the name of God over them as they line up (for sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat ye thereof, and feed such as (beg not but) live in contentment, and such as beg with due humility: thus have We made animals subject to you, that ye may be grateful. It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches God: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify God for His Guidance to you and proclaim the good news to all who do right. Verily God will defend (from ill) those who believe: verily, God loveth not any that is a traitor to faith, or show ingratitude. (Quran 22:36-38) __________________________

Copy was also delivered to Anderson Cooper at CNN. "Previously we sought help from your regional S. California office, and reported hundreds of incidents of hate speech / terrorist threats against Muslims. This time, we come to you again seeking your assistance on the heals on the Fort Hood massacre. Recently, CNN showed 2 men who claim to be Jewish converts to Islam. They appeared on AC360 shouting extremely hateful messages completely counter to Islamic teachings and they expressed support for the tragic shootings at Fort Hood.
