Friend, we only get one shot at this

Assalamu Alaykum

Opportunities like this only come around once in a very long time.

While the Muslim world is almost silent on the largest concentration camp since the Nazi Germany, the US Congress is considering two bills in support of Uighur Muslims: S. 178 in the Senate and H.R. 649 in the House.

We are making real progress: 35 Senators are sponsors of S. 178 and 73 representatives have sponsored H.R. 649. But we need to make a final push to get it across the finish line.

If we are unable to get these two bills passed in the next 20 days the legislation will be sidelined until 2021. 

Right now, about three million Uighur Muslims are in Chinese concentration camps. Uighur children have been taken to orphanages where they are raised as anti-Muslim communists. The Chinese government itself says that they have dispatched 1 million Chinese communist officials as “guests” to Uighur homes.

  • Organized a statement signed by 300 Imams in support of Uighur people, which  includes Omar Suleiman, Yasir Qadhi, Imam Maged and others;
  • Organized a national congressional call-in day on Feb 7th and March 7th;
  • Organized leadership meetings in 6 cities to brief and organize the community;
  • Retained a lobbying firm to assist in Uighur cause along with the Rohingya cause;
  • Helped organize the largest rally ever for the Uighur cause on April 6th in Washington D.C.;
  • Organized a protest rally in Grand Rapids, MI in minus 26-degree weather against the visiting Chinese ambassador who defends the concentration camps that China wants to use to make Uighurs into “normal” people;
