Muslim Groups Back Occupy Wall Street Protesters
Scores of social and civic 1 groups are backing the Occupy Wall Street protest movement around the world. At the site of the original Occupy demonstration 2 in New York, a group of Muslims held Friday prayers in a show of support for the anti-corporate movement.
Muslims associated with the New York Chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations and the local Islamic Leadership Council came to express their grievances 3 and to speak of social justice.
"We as Muslim New Yorkers are here today because we are in solidarity 4 and support of Occupy Wall Street," said Linda Sarsour, director of the Arab-American Association..
Imam Aiyub Abdul Baki of the Islamic Leadership Council delivered a sermon on social justice based on the Last Sermon of the Prophet Muhammad. In a veiled reference to Wall Street bankers, the Imam mentioned the Prophet's commandment against usury 5. He also noted 6 U.S. constitutional protections of religious expression, alleging 7 that Muslim-Americans do not fully 8 enjoy that right.
"We are also suffering; suffering racism 9 and discrimination. Islam-bashing is on the increase," Baki said.
With this Friday prayer, Muslims join Jewish and Christian 10 groups that have brought an element of spirituality to the diverse, if ill-defined Occupy Wall Street movement for social and economic justice.
