I am writing to demand that you publicly denounce Israel's use of excessive force against civilians and condemn Likud Party Leader, Ariel Sharon's entrance into the Holy Aqsa Mosque with thousands of heavily armed Israelis on September 28, 2000. I am urging you to demand the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Palestinian cities and Islamic holy sites. My voting Muslim brethren and I will not stand for such continued acts of injustice against the Palestinians. I will not allow my tax dollars to be used in killing civilian demonstrators!

How can the United States government support the murder of unarmed civilians!? How can the United States government allow such a horrific act of disrespect to Islam's third most holy mosque!? How can the United States government just sit back and watch as Israeli soldiers open fire with powerful bullets on innocent worshippers, who resorted to throwing stones to defend the Mosque?! They even murdered a 12-year-old harmless boy, Muhammad Al-Dura and wounded his father!

When this man entered the Aqsa Mosque, it was as if Hitler had entered a synagogue. Muslims know him very well as the butcher of the 1982 Sabra and Shatilla massacre in Lebanon, the man who is directly responsible for the massacre of over 2,700 Palestinians and is behind Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, which claimed as a result of which about 20,000 Palestinians and Lebanese were killed.

If the U.S. governement doesn't intervene to stop these atrocities, they will be counted as willing participants in this campaign of injustice. This issue will greatly impact the next presidential election.
