JINSA hosts evening
with Raheel Raza
By Rachel Gross Weinstein
Author, filmmaker and human
rights activist Raheel Raza, spoke in
Dallas last month regarding Islam's
impact in the world today, and how
it affects both Israel and America.
She discussed the history of the re-
ligion and offered solutions on how
Islam can be less radical.
Raza, who was born in Pakistan
and now lives in Toronto, spoke on
behalf of the lewish Institute for Na-
tional Security Affairs (IINSA), an
organization that promotes Ameri-
can security cooperation with like-
minded democratic countries and
engages the American defense com-
munity about the role Israel plays in
securing Western democratic inter-
ests. JINSA also improves awareness
about the importance of a strong
defense capability. The event was
hosted by Karla and Larry Steinberg
who have been involved with JINSA
for many years.
Raza said in the late 1970s, Paki-
stan had nuclear weapons in the
hands of extremists, started receiv-
ing money from Saudi Arabia and
followed a strict Wahhabi ideology.
She believes this is when the country
began a rapid decline into radical
Islam.
"This message of radicalism is

when the downward trend start-
ed, and spread to the pulpits of
mosques," Raza said. "Unfortu-
nately, it was turned into a place of
hate. I have experienced the worst
of Pakistani culture and it shattered
me when I saw this happening. The
warmth and hospitality has been
replaced by hate, suspicion and ig-
norance. Everything that happens
there is now part of a conspiracy."
Raza fled Pakistan in 1978 be-
cause she felt the country was los-
ing its moral compass and no longer
knew the difference between right
and wrong.
During her talk, Raza spoke out
against radical Islam and said it's
not just a Muslim problem any-
more, but affects everyone. She also
believes the Muslim Brotherhood is
dangerous and promotes its agenda
around the world.
"Radical Muslims are out in large
numbers and they threaten the en-
tire world," she said. "The mandate
of the Muslim Brotherhood, which
also finds a home in Europe and
North America, has a manifesto
and agenda to integrate into the
West and destroy from within. This
should be of concern to everyone."
Raza showed her support for
Israel and said Pakistanis and Pal-
estinians needs to recognize its ex-
istence and find peaceful solutions.
She has visited Israel in the past and
plans to take a trip there soon.
If other countries band together,
and more liberal Muslims started to
defend Israel, she said, peace talks
can be successful.
"My support for the state of Is-
rael is rooted in my understanding
of Israel and Pakistan as two coun-
tries created around the same time
in history on the basis of faith," she
said. "Today, Israel is a progres-
sive, vibrant, diverse country and I
feel safe there when I walk at night,
something I cannot do in my own
homeland anymore. There are prob-
lems that need to be solved and I be-
lieve work is being done."
Raza also highlighted three main
solutions regarding radical Islam —
grievances, ideology and funding.
She believes people need to discuss
the problems within immigrant
communities and defeat and expose
negative religious beliefs.
She added that although there is
still work to be done, she believes she
is making a difference and creating
awareness about the situation in the
