Arabian Nights meets Red Dawn in
Charles Welty’s Ameristan
Story Synopsis:
Ameristan is a novel and a motion picture political thriller
premised on the unthinkable: The United States of America becomes a
conservative Muslim state where Islamic Sharia is the law of the
land. You still can’t post the Ten
Commandments in public schools, but Allah help you if you don’t
recite the Qur’an three times a day...

Some
Early Script Reviews:
¨"Ameristan
is something everyone should read. It is so plausible, it is
frightening."
— Laura Mansfield , Strategic Arabic Translations
(http://lauramansfield.com)
¨"Quite a powerful
piece of work."
— Nissan Ratzlav-Katz, Opinion
Editor,
IsraelNationalNews.com (http://israelnationalnews.com)
¨"I thoroughly enjoyed the
well-written and not so fanciful account of a WW III scenario of Islamic
takeover of America in the novel Ameristan. I could not put it
down and even had a quite vivid dream about a scene you reference in the
novel. I think it would definitely work as a feature film...."
— Rabbi Aaron Parry, Los Angeles
¨"Ameristan... gets people to understand the
dangers we face through a back door method."
—
Judson Cox, Internet and Newspaper Columnist/Editor
(http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/cox)
¨"We should kill you
for writing this."

A Note on the Political
Elements of Ameristan:
Toward the end of Act Two, a V.O. monologue from our fictional character
Abu Kareem underscores the political ambitions that drive Ameristan.
Briefly summarized, they are as follows:
1.
The Ameristan Movement draws its guidelines from Islam; derives
from it its thinking, interpretations and views about existence, life and
humanity; refers back to it for its conduct; and is inspired by it in
whatever step it takes.
2.
The basic structure of the Ameristan Movement consists of Muslims
who are devoted to Allah and worship Him.
3.
The Ameristan Movement welcomes all Muslims who share its beliefs
and thinking, commit themselves to its course of action, keep its secrets
and aspire to join its ranks in order to carry out their duty.
4.
The ultimate goal of Ameristan is Islam, the Prophet its model, the
Qur’an its Constitution. Its special dimension extends wherever on earth
there are Muslims, who adopt Islam as their way of life.
5.
Like Ameristan, Hamas is a distinct Palestinian Movement which owes
its loyalty to Allah, derives from Islam its way of life and strives to
raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.
6.
Allah is the goal of Hamas, the Prophet its model, the Qur’an its
Constitution, Jihad its path and death for the case of Allah its most
sublime belief.
7.
Like Ameristan, Hamas believes that the land of Palestine has been
an Islamic Waqf throughout the generations and until the Day of
Resurrection, no one can renounce it or part of it, or abandon it or part
of it. No Arab country nor the aggregate of all Arab countries, and no
Arab King or President nor all of them in the aggregate, have that right,
nor has that right any organization or the aggregate of all organizations,
be they Palestinian or Arab, because Palestine is an Islamic Waqf
throughout all generations and to the Day of Resurrection.
8.
Peace initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the
international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all
contrary to the beliefs of Hamas and Ameristan. There is no solution to
the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiatives, proposals and
International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in
futility.
