Abstract
"Writing from a jail cell in Jim Crow Alabama, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., said to America then, as he does now: “We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.” That same message emanates today throughout our country and beyond from jail cells housing Muslims who are guilty of nothing more than fitting the fabricated stereotypes of a terrorist. That guilt by association and fabrication also smears free Muslims by the millions who are struggling faithfully to love God and country in face of a growing demonization of Islam and Muslims – the madness of our times. Once again, a witch-hunt in America is upon us; once again, the mission of this witch-hunt is to fabricate, not find, witches in America and elsewhere; and once again, the church in America is largely silent. As always in such times of great moral crisis, silence is the voice of complicity."(pg 1)
