    "Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people." -Eleanor Roosevelt

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

     

     

    (Minneapolis, MN - March 20, 2006) A prominent national Minnesota based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called upon Roseville Area High School and Roseville Area School District to repudiate recent Islamophibic remarks by school librarian Gregory Martinson, who claimed last Thursday that the Quran “encourages terrorism,†and therefore belonged in the trash.

     

     

    The Muslim American Society – Freedom Foundation (MAS-FF) was notified of an incident involving a 9th Grade Muslim student at Roseville Area High School.

     

     

    The student reported to MAS-FF that a librarian was invited as a guest speaker to speak to an English class about censorship on Thursday, March 16th. During his presentation, the librarian explained to students that some books do not belong at home or in the school library and that these books “belonged in the trashâ€. He brought a total of 13 publications to the class presentation. A ceremonial trash can was present in the classroom which had colored paper cut-outs of fire. He held up each book in turn, described what he thought was wrong with them and why they needed to be banned. Then he proceeded to throw each book into the trash can, saying "this book belongs in the trash" or "this book should be banned". One of the publications that the librarian decided belonged in the trash and should be burned and banned is the Qur’an, the Holy Book of the Muslim faith. The librarian continued to explain that the Qur’an is a book that encourages “terrorism,†advocates “violence†and therefore belonged in the trash. During this entire presentation, a teacher was present in the room and made no efforts to intervene or discourage the disparaging remarks made by the librarian. As part of the presentation, students were given an assignment where they were asked to discuss why each book should be banned.

     

     

    The Legal Department at MAS-FF has issued a letter formally requesting that all presentations of this nature to be immediately withdrawn from the curriculum. Further, MAS-FF has requested a written and public letter of apology from all responsible parties to be issued to students, parents and staff. MAS-FF will be arranging a conference with the Roseville Public School District to discuss any other actions that may need to be explored and how to prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future.

    ACTION TAKEN AND REQUESTED

     

    MAS-FF asks that all concerned citizens to contact the principal Connie Nicholson at Roseville Area High School at 651-635-1663 connie.nicholson@isd623.org. RESPECTFULLY and PATIENTLY express your disappointment at the actions of the librarian and school teacher. Following is an example of what should be said.

    SAMPLE PHONE MESSAGE

     

     

    Hello, my name is _______________ and I am calling in regards to the book trashing incident and offensive comments at Roseville Area High School involving the Muslim Holy Book, the Quran. I am calling as a concerned Muslim and community member to share the message of peace and tolerance found in Islam.

     

     

    The actions of the librarian and teacher were highly offensive to all students and disrespectful of the beliefs of Muslim people in America. The purpose of this call is to let Roseville Area High School know that such actions are not appropriate and do not promote an atmosphere of tolerance and peace.

     

     

    I wish to respectfully ask for a sincere apology from the school, librarian, and teacher to all students, parents and staff. It is my hope that we can all learn from this incident and create a respectful and tolerant learning atmosphere at Roseville Area High School. Thank You.

  8. Subxannallah, Subxanallah!!!.... I almost fell outta my bed this morning when i found out about the hotel that collapsed in Mecca. My beloved parents made their journey to Mecca this last week along with millions of Muslim pilgrims. Please let us all pray that they (all the pilgrims) are safe and Allah answers their prayer, Ameen.

     

    I can't even type, i'm so worried!

    I have not been able to get a hold of my parents!

     

    p.s. My mother told me that the pilgrims from the USA where all staying in one hotel. If anyone from the USA has been able to contact their loved one there in Mecca, please let us know the status there.

  9. The most beautiful moments in your life;

    * When you live in people’s hearts without any cheat or deception..

    * When you resist the Devil, and return to the Creator, knocking his door and he approves your repentance..

    * When all around you understand what you want, so they lend a hand..

    * When you supplicate to ALLAH, and your eyes like a river of tears, with a heart longing to see him..

    * When you hear the crying of your first child, then you take him in your arms and give him all the safety and love..

    * When you gloom for the meaningless years of your age, then you start the real work..

    * When you get up in the morning and find that all the yesterday’s sins were erased..

     

    This was sent to me by my dear cousin..whom i love and respect

     

    One of the most beautiful moments in my life happens every year.. when every Muslim is prostrating in Salaatul Eiid...itz beautiful beyong imagination... Alxamdulilaah...Allah made me a Muslim..

    tell me zakkah is for the rich and i don't need to give it cuz i'm really poor

    tell me i don't need religious education cuz i got my whole elderly life to learn and be dedicated

    tell me being like the kufar is advancing and stickin' to religion is backward thinking

    tell me i need money and without it i can't live happy

    tell me talkin'g loud, busting un-islamic jokes and being aggressive is the way to be

    cuz if you don't you'll be denying yourself of free speech

    tell me there is such thing as "halal dating"

    see if you didn't date, there no chance you'll ever find your soulmate

    tell me i need to get ahead in life and

    if i gotta walk over, parents, siblings, friends, i gotta do what i gotta do,

    cuz when its said n' done

    its just you urself and you

    i'll make u bleed and weep

    u'll feel the need to flee

    I've been given my chance to succeed

     

     

    Inshallah, May Allah have Mercy on us ALL


  13. i'm glad this topic was brought up...being the only Muslim at my workplace..its kinda hard getting in the prayers especially when you have no time to be off the phones except break..And breaks don't always fall at pray time.. My solution...Pray at when the salaat is there..cuz i thought of this way...i get bathroom breaks...so i use'em for my prayers...kinda hard..but hey..itz worth it...

     

    I remember one day i was praying in a lil quite corner on the side, i wasn't aware that there was a door there. So i started my prayer...but in the middle, this janitor or service worker or whateva ..OPENS the door and hits me right on the side!!!!...now i'm tiny..i practically slid over 5 steps the other way by the force of the door... it hurt..but i kept praying...he apologized and walked away...lol..he must've thought i was some kinda pycho..lol...but whateva..


  14. i second that @ 3merald...

     

     

    BIG itch itch itch...i don't what it is ...but i won't stop till i get what i want...i know i can't have it..i know its prolly not the best thing for me...BUT still...it just bothers me that i can't have what i want...maybe its greed...Acuudu Bilaah

     

    May Allah have mercy on us ALL
