Muslims concerned about Arizona law 'infiltrate' Justice Department

It would seem some Muslims are quite unhappy about the new Arizona immigration law.  And they are not afraid to show it.

According to a Huffington Post report, last Friday Iowa state representative Steve King claimed that "Muslims and unions had effectively infiltrated the Justice Department and were steering its decision to prepare a challenge to the Arizona immigration law." His full statement can be found here. 

As mentioned right here on May 17th, CAIR-MI is all over the possibility of stamping out an Arizonian type law in Michigan.  Muslims want every one on Earth to be treated equitably, as the prophet preached, and fear discrimination is highly likely with such a bill.

Of course there is a large population of Arab Muslims in Michigan's metro Detroit areas.  Does that mean anyone who looks Middle Eastern soon will be singled out and targeted if the Arizona-esque law gets passed? Imagine how much time would be needed to check the papers of every hijabi and every bearded man in Dearborn? As far as we know, the majority of those people are legal with papers to prove it, so what an awful waste of time. Yikes!

So, who knows if Rep. Steve King is right in his claim or not, but it is evident that Muslims are not eager to be even further targeted and discriminated against within the United States.

Muslims should respect the law of the land in which they reside (and if they are not able, they should leave that country) as the Holy Quran states.  Essentially, this means that it would be haram (forbidden) for them to live in the United States illegally because it would be a disobedience to the government.

Get in on the conversation and involve yourself by contacting a local CAIR chapter in your state.

Here is the information for those of us in the metro Detroit areas:
