Painting Islam as the New Enemy

About the Book

Find out for yourself! Islam is not the enemy;

Are you surprised to know that Islam's God is like yours? Islams's holy book the Qur'an, in verse (2:62) says: "Believers, Jews, Christians and Sabeans - whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does what is right - shall be rewarded by their Lord; they have nothing to fear or to regret." Islam preaches universalism, racial equality and social justice.

The founding fathers' vision of democracy was trasformed into a one-dollar, one-vote democracy. One-half of one percent of American households owns more than 90 percent of Americans. In such a democracy, Wall street owns all the money and all the votes.

The American dream was hijacked in the 19th century by the few, as president Lincoln feared. It was hijacked by Wall Street and corporations, just as president Rutherford B. Hays said: "This is a government of corporations for corporations by corporations".

Wall Street and capitalism have elevated materialism and economic growth to the rank of a new religion of the land. Money became the ultimate measure of success. In Wall Street Capitalism, citizens are incidental numbers on balance sheets. Materialism became "a tumor in the soul".
