With Regards to Other Organizations

We fully support and encourage cooperation among all organizations that speak up in defense of wronged Arabs and Muslims. We do not regard HaSM as competing with others in any way. On the contrary, even if there may be differences of opinion on issues, their every success is ours too, and we certainly delight in it.

Some Relevant HaSM articles

What the Tragedy of September 11, 2001 Taught Me (I)

...one of the most reliable ways to judge what any religion is truly like toward other human beings, is through its most difficult aspect, how it influences the way its followers treat those from other religions under diverse situations and circumstances.

Muslims Can't Understand the Hatred

A Jewish friend once told me that when someone who didn't know she was Jewish wondered why God brought the Jews the Holocaust, she didn't comment. "Where do you start when faced with such racist ignorance" she thought.

Men Too Should Wear Veils!
"Why don't men wear veils?" asks one western lady resentful of the veil Muslim women wear. In turn, I ask her, "Why don't Western men wear dresses, skirts, gowns or makeup?"

'King and Country', or the Promise of Paradise
...it seems like only yesterday Europe's growing pains cost the world hundreds of millions of human lives. Christians fought and killed fellow Christians, almost exterminated European Jews, and colonized or destroyed numerous hapless peoples and cultures around the world.

Quran Says Kill, Bible Says Love
It's remarkable how there are still those who, even as they quote the Bible's love, sow hate instead. It's remarkable but not surprising...

Facts That Haters Hate Hearing
...not once were the above facts brought to the public's attention, let alone emphasized. They're the kind of facts hate-mongers hate hearing.

Gloating Over Saddam's Fall...and America's Blunder
Those who prematurely celebrated the victory or predicted the demise of the United Nations had made fools of themselves, and America's nose was being repeatedly bloodied by the Iraqi resistance. Worse yet, the much touted "American values" had been dealt a fatal blow in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal

If The World Were All Christian
When the imbalance goes beyond being selective -- a taboo in itself -- and crosses into twisting positive facts to make them appear negative, it is disgracefully unacademic and discredits the writer.

Which Christianity Are We Talking About?
It was just as enlightening to learn of the writer's contention that his god is "the only true God", which implies that Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and others are all going to his god's hell.

America's Muslims Bear the Pain with Dignity
American Muslims guilty of nothing other than being Muslim, rather than attack anyone, have themselves been physically assaulted, mistreated, discriminated against, .. their mosques and businesses vandalized, their veiled women assaulted, spat on, insulted,..

Difficult Act to Balance: Racial Profiling
They chatted amongst themselves, left the counter unattended.., discussed their dinners in a manner suggesting deliberate intent to upset the passengers...

Justice, Not Land, Key To Prosperity
It's time such countries as Israel and Turkey, among others, learned that land is not the key to prosperity...The once mighty Soviet Union is a case in point. Immense land could not help it remain viable.

Israel Talks Peace But Wants Land
There never was a peace process to fail, there was, and there still is, a process to get the Palestinians to sign more of their land away. Even if a few years back one gave Israel the benefit of the doubt, now it's become undeniably obvious..

West vis-�-vis Hamas: Double Standards Galore
By Hesham M. Sabry
The (K-W) Record (Ontario), February 6, 2006

It's right that the United States demands that Hamas renounce violence and recognize Israel's statehood, but the Palestinians also have a right to ask the United States to renounce land annexation by Israel and recognize Palestinian statehood.
