Islamic Society of North America's Louay Safi brainwashing Muslims to be Nationalists first and cooperate with zionists

ISNA Executive Director spoke on Tuesday, January 30, at George Washington University on the question of the relationship between religious commitments and the moral obligations of citizens. The talk was part of the Islamic Awareness Week organized by the Muslim Student Association.
Dr. Louay Safi examined the basic values relevant to loyalty to a multi-religious society and concluded that Islam places a moral responsibility on a person to be committed to the general wellbeing and common good of the larger society to which he or she belongs, regardless of the ethnic and religious affiliation of that society. He pointed out that the Muslim highest moral commitment is not to a specific religious or ethnic community, but to the principles of good, right, and justice which form the general foundation of loyalty for Muslims.
Taking historical Muslim experience as the background of his discussion, and using the example of the Medina society which was founded by Prophet Muhammad, Dr. Safi argued that the Prophet of Islam based the fist political society on the universal principles of equal dignity, freedom of religion and movement, and mutual help and support among all segments of the Medina society, many of whom were followers of Judaism. He illustrated how the Covenant of Medina placed mutual help among the members of Medina society over and above any other considerations. Dr. Safi stressed that Muslims' commitment to the covenants they entered into with people of other faiths overrides religious solidarity.
Louay Safi further argued that American Muslims have displayed a great commitment to the constitutional principles of freedom of religion, equality of citizens, freedom of speech and assembly, and the due process of the law. These after all , he insisted, are principles intrinsic to Islam's concerns with free choice and open and pluralistic society. The talk was followed with a life discussion with members of the audience.
