Let's Have A Little Talk Son Abdul-Qaadir Abdul-Khaaliq

Dad: Son, your mother and I are a little concerned about something wefound in your room.

Son: Huh? Oh, man! You guys were snooping around in my room?

Dad: That's not important son. What is...is what I found.

Son: I swear to God its not mine! Um...What was it? Dad: Well it was this son, and frankly it has us worried. I thought wetaught you to be careful and responsible son. Needless to say, we were

shocked.

Son: Gee Pop, it's just a Qur'aan.

Dad: Exactly! And what about this?

Son: Well, that's a pamphlet explaining the beliefs and practices of

Muslims.

Dad: Where'd you get your hands on something like this son? I mean

don't you realize this was printed by an Islamic Charity based in SaudiArabia?

Son: Uh, yeah. So? I thought you were against censorship and for free

expression of ideas...?

Dad: Son, son, son. Haven't I warned you a million times about this typeof thing? Of the dangers? Don't you know what's in this stuff? What it cando to your mind? Have you read what's in here? Haven't you read thepapers about Islamic charities especially those connected with well...theWahaabis?

Son: Well, yeah Pop, but they were available for free at our school when aMuslim came there to give talk and he invited us to the local mosque.

Dad: What? Oh my God! In the school? They let one talk at your school?What in blazes is going on down there!?

Son: Calm down Pop, it was cool. The dude was cool and he came at theinvitation of the principal to help explain about the Muslims. You know,

after all that's happened. We didn't have to go to the assembly. They eveninvited parents and some came and I brought the flyer home last week but

you didn't pay it any attention.

Dad: To spread their propaganda and influence the innocent little kids...!

Son: Pop, I'm in High School!



Dad: Never mind. You don't know what's good for you. You see what

happened to Taleban John!

Son: Pop c'mon, give me a little credit. I can think for myself. You're the

one who taught me to make my own decisions and think things out andhear both sides didn't you? I thought that was why we went to school.

Dad: Well, yes but...

Son: Well the Muslim guy was just explaining what they believe and how

they look at the situation, and what it's like to live in the West as aMuslim, what life is like in Muslim countries and clear up any questions

people may have.

Dad: Son, they force religion down the people's throats and they oppress

their women and believe in killing those who don't ...

Son: Pop! You sound just like Uncle Pete.

Dad: Don't "back-talk" me boy! Son: The guy was barraged with questions and some people really laid

into him...

Dad: Ah hah! So he couldn't answer them could he? He dodged andwaffled didn't he? He probably got all upset and cursed everyone to Hell

right?

Son: No, Pop. He handled it really cool and made a lot of points clear

without arguing or shouting. It kind of embarrassed the people whostarted screaming at him and they later apologized.

Dad: C'mon! Get out...!

Son: No, really Pop. And you know a lot of what he was saying made

sense..

Dad: Oh...my...God! Here we go! They got to you. Margaret! Come talk toyour son!

Son: Give me a break, chill out would ya? He just explained how Muslims

believed in God and doing five prayers and giving charity and stuff. Wehad already read about a lot of it in Social Studies class but when they gotto the questions and answers is when it got really interesting. For

example, Buff Hardbody really tried to give it to him for Muslims spreadinghatred by saying that Islam was the true religion and America was a bigSatan and stuff.

Dad: I bet he choked on that one huh!?

Son: Well he pointed out that all religions believe they are true and eventhe people who don't believe in religion believe they are right not to and

they write books and do TV shows and films about it.



Dad: Well that's different.

Son: That's what Chrissy McSwish's mom said too. So, he said billions of dollars are spent to spread culture and ideas all over the world to educate

people and to attract them to it and see things their way and even admireand aspire to it. Year after year people are given images and messages to

convince them that theirs is the right and best way of life and the bestcivilization and they help countries that agree with them and even fight

against those that don't. A lot is done to convince people of the superiorityof their system and to be like them. Newspapers and magazines are filled

with their ideas and spread all over the world so everyone can get a tasteof it by reading and seeing and they export their customs, foods, dress

everything until it kind of dominates most other ideas...

Dad: See! What did I tell you son!?

Son: He meant us.

Dad: Oh. But that's different son. We don't force anyone to follow our wayof life.

Son: Pauly Bookbinder said the same thing. So the guy made a point thatthey don't have a super army that can go around the world to force people

to be Muslims or follow their policies or sophisticated technologies orsatellites, but the Muslim charities print books and pamphlets, build

schools, orphanages and clinics, build wells and mosques and sendteachers and stuff.

Dad: Yes son but they also have terror squads! Son: That's what Mr. Betterman said. That's when he made a good pointthat you can't scare somebody into being a true believer and the Qur'aansays you can't force anyone to be a Muslim and it only gives Islam and

Muslims a bad name. If somebody takes it into their hands to do that stuff it doesn't mean all Muslims are like that or that Islam says do it.

Dad: But they teach violence boy!

Son: That's what T.J. Readerson said. So, the speaker made a good point

that more people have been killed by non-Muslims over the years thanthey have by Muslims and that in many places Muslims are killed the most.He even said when Muslims fight other Muslims nobody believes that the

ones who oppress the others are following Islam correctly.

Dad: It's all propaganda son and they oppress their women.

Son: Yeah, that's exactly what Trixie Brown-Fox said, but the man had apoint when he asked if putting women in sex mags and advertising and

even comic books filled with cheesecake and Hollywood hotties to be ogled



at in sex scenes on TV and in the movies wasn't exploitation and

disrespecting women.

Dad: Well maybe, but…

Son: And when other people do bad stuff you don't usually hear about

their religion and all kinds of crimes and acts of terror are committedaround the world and right here every day. Nobody usually makes an issueof their religion but they make a point to relate violence to Islam if

Muslims are involved as though every Muslim is the same. He also pointedout that in Muslim countries so far, even though American forces have

bombed Afghanistan and foreign policy doesn't stop Israeli excesses and alot of Muslim civilians and even children have been killed with our weapons

or died because of sanctions, there still hasn't been any wave of attacks onWesterners living in Muslim countries. Dad: That's because they have to stay indoors and aren't free...

Son: It's Muslims who have been getting beat up and harassed andprofiled and deported from a lot of countries that are supposed to be free

and getting put in jail for stuff like having a registered gun.

Dad: Well that's dangerous son. You never know what one of them may

do. I mean they hate us...

Son: And they wear funny clothes!

Dad: Don't joke with me son.

Son: Well you have a registered gun right Pop?

Dad: Sure, but that's different I'm a responsible citizen.Son: And do you hate 'em Pop?

Dad: Now don't you smart-mouth me boy, that's different, I have areason. They hate people who don't follow their religion or way of life.

Son: They don't follow your religion or way of life and you say they'rewrong but they get arrested and mistreated and called traitors for it right?

Dad: Don't argue with me son...and you had better be careful who youlisten to from now on!

Son: You're right Dad.
