Massachusetts Supreme Court Chief Justice Ralph Gants had a simple message for Muslim-Americans: “You do not stand alone.”
The Massachusetts Supreme Court chief justice has issued a powerful and encouraging reminder to Muslims amid a wave of Islamaphobic sentiment: The U.S. Constitution is on your side.
Chief Justice Ralph Gants spoke at the state’s largest mosque, the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, following afternoon prayer on Friday. Gants acknowledged it was a “difficult time” for Muslims in America, with the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, igniting a fresh wave of discrimination, hate and even violence.
US Constitution
“And I am here to assure you that you do not stand alone,” Gants said. “You have a Constitution and laws to protect your right to practice your religion, to protect you from discrimination and the denial of your equal rights, and to protect you from acts of violence that might be committed because of your religion or your nation of origin.”

The true cause of terrorism has always been masked into inter-accusation.
Personally, the world will never know peace, unless we altogether unite under one Law of God.
I would recommend people to read the Gospel of Barnabas to grasp the true message and plan of God revealed to Jesus (pbuh).
” And We sent Him not, but as a Mercy to the whole Universe!” (Koran 21:107)
“And We have sent you not, but as a mercy for all the universe.” (Qur’an 21:107)
Then, what are you waiting, to declare:
‘There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah’!

Muslims in America should or must thankful to American’s Constitution and laws to protect Muslims right to practice our religion, to protect Muslim from discrimination etc.—-It is wonderful constitution.
Unfortunately, we as good Muslims in America failed to protect our brothers and sister of non Muslim from attacked and murdered by extremist Muslims.
As good Muslim in America , we have to work harder to fight and to abolish the Extremist Islamic Ideology in Muslim society.
What are the characters of Islamic extremist ideology?
For example;
1. They want to establish Islamic laws, and impose to others by law.
2. They want to establish Islamic Bank
3 They want to establish Islamic Airline.
4. They want to label foods with “Halal food”
5. They want to segregate men and women in public place.(school, buses,malls etc)
6. They want all girls to cover whole body except face.
7. They want to implement the harsh punishment in public. such as beheading, flogging and cut off hand.
8. etc.
Actually, they want to implement the ancient Islamic laws step by step such as ISIS does.
I urge Muslim in America, let us thankful to America with obeying American’s constitution with our soul, mind and heart.
May Allah bless us all.Amen
