Dr. Mustafa Kuku, a representative from the Islamic Center of Riverside, greets those gathered in support and solidarity regarding the unfortunate practices that have separated families. The land belongs to the Lord, declared Mr. Kuku. He explained that Islam has clear teaching regarding justice about the land and the workers. (1) The Lord is compassionate to give the land to all his people. Wherever people are working together for the betterment of the community they should be allowed to enjoy the fruits of their labor. (2) It is unethical to allow people to work for us and then kick them out when we have no further need for them. (3) The family is the building brick of community. It is prohibited to separate members of family in Islam. Mr. Kuku committed the support of Muslim brothers to help change the immigration system.
