Manzanar

The camp located at the foothills of the eastern sierras of California, where Japanese Americans were interned during WWII, is now a historical site/national park. I visited the place on a recent trip to the sierras - above is a shot of the camp cemetery.

It would be a good idea to check out what the policy makers may have in store for those Muslims, and others, who might not go along with the status quo.

Especially important, I think, for those of us US tax paying Muslims who remember that those tax dollars are funding the occupation of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan - and the ongoing US imperialist projects around the planet.

Lets call all this for what it is, it aint "foreign policy" - what is going on is imperialism, and slaughter at a massive scale. We have a responsibility to oppose these actions, as Muslims who keep justice at the forefront, and especially for those of us living in the US - and are paying into the coffers that fund these wars.
