Reader comment on item: UAE Designates CAIR, MAS as Terrorist Groups

Just as Americans to improve their understanding of Islam and the people who practice the religion, countries like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are working desperately to create persistent fear and hostility towards a large number of Muslim organizations. The objective is two-fold, one is to pretend strict adherence to, and defense of peace in the world, the other is to marginalize human rights adversaries whose values challenge the continuation of the monarchy. The monarchs are desperate to incite hatred, not only for the extremist, but for Islamic groups. Declaring progressive Islamic organizations who support democratic protocols as terrorist, is a strategic weapon in a war of ideas. The allegations against the humanitarian and religious organizations stem from misrepresentations, ignorance, lies and half truths.

While the monarchs proclaims their anti-violence fervor, their actions are anything but civil by any standard. Both countries are known for having an extreme human rights and historically denied the the dignity and worth of the its citizens and opposed the human rights of women. In recent years United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have stepped up arrests, trials, and convictions of peaceful dissidents, and forcibly dispersed peaceful demonstrations by citizens. Both continued to violate the rights of women and girls and foreign workers. their authorities subjected thousands of people to unfair trials and arbitrary detention. Courts convicted human rights defenders and others for peaceful expression or assembly demanding political and human rights reforms. Muslim organizations that struggle to promote social progress and better standards of life of Muslims worldwide are their biggest opponents in a dispute that wherein they differ in what constitutes respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Many listed organizations like Muslim American Society (MAS) are dedicated to protecting the human rights of people and stand with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, and uphold political freedom. It is an organization is a construction of chapters in America which work hard and play by fair rules.

On the other hand, the Arab monarchies is by no means an incompetent misconstruction, but It is a dispassionate and remarkable political apparatus who uses it vast wealth to suppress truth and unleash potent campaign that allows for political and social manipulation in the world. The United Arab Emirates and the Saudis, who possess a largest share of power besides worldly goods, will more than vigilant in maintaining its character of greed and self-preservation.

They proclaims that their opposition to terrorism, but they not act within the scope of those declarations, yet both are complicit in the rise of extremist groups and remain unwilling to confront, at the same time, the exclusive and historic function of a system that runs counter to these ambitions. Saudi Arabia has the epicenter of fundraising for terrorist groups and the place where al-Qaida's presence was tolerated for years after they attacked America.

The royals are outright liars who pushed there agenda regardless of the dangers to other nations, the cruelties of oppression, and the evils of defamation.

Looking at a Muslim community from a distance does not provide the whole picture. Instead, there is a need to engage the Muslim community to get a better understanding of their practices and beliefs. Muslims and non-Muslims need to concentrate on what binds them together, rather than on what separates them.

The rights of organizations like Muslim American Society must protected and the integrity of religious rights should be upheld. It must not be marginalized by lies, misunderstandings, and illogical reasoning. This must all be done now and before relying on the falsehood of foreign powers that would rather dismiss Islam completely rather than vacate their thrones
