American Muslims Offer Immigration Help

NCPA Launches Toll-Free Line For Help on INS Registration. The National Council of Pakistani Americans (NCPA), in collaboration with The Resource Foundation, a non-profit economic development group, on Jan. 15 launched a toll-free telephone line to help people with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) registration process.

“We are asking members of our community, and also those from other communities, to call this toll-free number to seek help,” said NCPA president Faiz Rehman. “This service will work as a legal aid referral and a liaison with the Embassy of Pakistan.”

The toll-free phone number, 1-888-213-XXXX, is manned by a secretary. Callers should leave information with the secretary or a message in the voice mail box, and someone will get back to them within 24 hours. The information provided will be kept strictly confidential.

NCPA is one of the four civil rights groups which filed a lawsuit against the recent mass arrests in California, and NCPA members have had meetings with a U.S. senator and high level INS officials regarding the issue of INS Call-In Registration.

The Washington-based NCPA was established to promote political, social, and economic interests of the Pakistanis residing in the U.S. As an advocacy organization, it works actively and closely with civil rights groups, media, the Congress, the U.S. administration, and community organizations. For more information call the NCPA at (202) 210-XXXX, or e-mail .

Monitors: Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) Monitors were deployed in major cities nationwide to monitor the Immigration and Naturalization Service as it conducted its special registration call-in for males from selected Arab and Muslim countries. (This would be countries known for sponsoring terrorism )

The monitoring program received a tremendous response from around the country, with hundreds of concerned citizens registering to monitor. Community organizations endorsed the project and volunteers received organizing kits from MPAC and watched monitoring training online, in addition to downloading organizing resources.

There will be no end to the attempt of turning America into a Muslim State.

Take a pill. Literally. There are some very good drugs out now for anxiety disorders.

Oh yea, so what kinds of drugs do you take to keep yourself from seeing the truth?

Libby do your self a favor, OK? When you read a story, try to remember the gist of the last one you read. You might find the stories kind of fit together like a puzzle. It starts to add up until you realize this stuff could not be made up by a Hollywood writer.

First lay off the drugs you take that has your head in a fog though. Just a friendly suggestion, that's all.

Dude, back in the day the Irish immigrants were going to corrupt the country. Just ... chill.

The Irish immigrants were not blowing up buildings with 3000 people inside you nut cake!

Onevike, you were ranting against their religion (Islam), en blanc. And back in the day, the Irish brought with them the awful specter of Popery ... to contaminate our splendidly Protestant society! People made then just the sort of fuss you're making now, but we survived.

The criminal exploits of Jihadists are another matter.

The criminal exploits of Jihadists are another matter.

Excuse me but like I said on another thread. The Muslim community is not helping us weed out the extremists who hate this country and want to kill us infidels.

When I look on the news and see Muslims in their communities across America rail against the war on terrorism, I have to come to the conclusion they do not like this country.

Now as for the Irish who immigrated here in the early 1900s, I realize they were confronted with those who were afraid of Catholics. However the Irish joined the Police departments and the Fire departments and became pillars of their society to prove their love for America. They were even involved in helping the government shut down illegal alcohol smuggling from Ireland, and also shutting down illegal brewery's during Prohibition.

I don't see the Muslims joining the police departments to help with these extreme Muslims who want to destroy the very fabric of this country. And I don't see stories on the news about American Muslims helping to shut down these Jihad training camps across America. Instead of assimilating into the American society, they want to turn America into the oppressive type of country they came from.

What is it about you liberals that you refuse to see the pimple on your own nose? Those who immigrate to America, but refuse to become Americans will eventually destroy what America is?

Actually I can answer my own question, because you hate this country also. Otherwise you would not support all the Marxist and immoral behavior that is at the root of our troubles in this country.

I have no doubt that there are Muslims living in America who embrace freedom and are willing to live by American laws. We can know them by their behaviors and words. But we are living in difficult times with attending circumstances.

Part of the burden Muslims bare is the fact that other Muslims do atrocious things in the name of Islam. It is not the fault of Americans that freedom loving Muslims must bare this burden and endure the suspicions that are visited upon them. It is the fault of those who engage in vioilent jihad against Israel and the West.

If we cannot accurately name those responsible, we cannot distinguish between those who stand with us and those who do not. The PC way is to deny there are jihadists. They prefer to lump all into one benevolent group and pretend that kindness, understanding, apologies and the hand of friendship will calm the waters and bring those few "crriminal" jihadists around. This stance does a great diservice to Muslims who disclaim the violent form of Islam and sincerely wish to live in peace and freedom.

One of the greatest burdens for our leaders is accurately making the distinction between those who are truly with us and those who only pretend to gain advantage. This is the work of many who do counterterrorism work. Perhaps this is what Libby was suggesting on the other thread. But if it is, she should know that the people Jack cited on his other posts are exactly those doing this important work. She may prefer to take the casual approach and not hear about such things. Fine. We're big enough to let her tend her vegetable garden in peace. But please Libby...there is no need to talk down to those of us who prefer to stay informed about such matters. From our perspective there is much to be concerned about...including so called fellow Americans who are determined to blindly assist jihadists who intend to settle in this country in order to do us harm.

"The Muslim community is not helping us weed out the extremists who hate this country and want to kill us infidels."

Another lie. I lose all respect for you, dude.

You can't possible think the Christian Action Network just stumbled upon the doings in the foothills. Sigh. But they should leave it to the FBI. Yes, they should.

And YOU ... just be polite to the gas station proprietors over on I-5. Can you manage that, I wonder?

OV: "The Muslim community is not helping us weed out the extremists who hate this country and want to kill us infidels."

Anonymous (Libby?): "Another lie."

Care to back up your claim, Libby? Please provide examples of those helping us...I'm sure our readers would be interested.

Another lie. I lose all respect for you, dude.

I find it interesting you ever had respect for me in the first place. I must have missed the comment where you said,

"Dude, I have a lot of respect for you."

Then your loss of respect for me would make sense. But hey it's like your comment that decent Muslims in America are helping us in the war on terrorism. Just another made up lie. There is a proverb that speaks of how I should handle fools like you,

He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV)

I prefer not to be destroyed so I'll humble avoid fools like you.
