[IslamCity] Yamin Zakariyah: Is Killing Innocents In War Permissible In Islam?

2005-08-14 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

This is the first installment of a debate between myself and Yamin Zakariyah, a Muslim in the UK, regarding the killing of innocents during war in Islam. He is arguing that it is permissible if the enemy attacks our innocents as a deterrent to prevent them from doing so. I am arguing that it is not and never the case.We will be presenting information from Qur'an and Hadiths to make our case. We hope that you, the reader will be the judge.

***
As Salaam Alaikum,

YaminWhile I agree with you in pointing out the wrongs and injustices done against Muslim nations by the West for the average person to know that the anger of many Muslims towards the West is not produced in a vacuum, I think you greatly misrepresent the religion of Islam in your position regarding the killing of innocents. You may mean well but you do all Muslims and our great religion tremendous disfavor by your pushing the idea that this is modern times and if the enemy attacks our innocents then Muslims are entitled to attack their innocents as a deterrent to them.

Your position is wrong! Dead wrong and it is totally un-Islamic! Besides saying that, I will prove it using Quran and Hadiths that I will list below. I mentioned before that I use to believe like you in collective guilt and even wrote you what my position used to be. Since then Allah has touched my heart and mind with greater understanding that has cause me to move away from that inhumane and un-Islamic position. I hope He will do the same for you.

At the same time I will state unequivocally that if Iran is attacked with nuclear weapons from Israel or the US they, if somehow they survive, have a right to retaliate in kind with the same weapons. But the difference is that their targets as Muslims following Allah, not the misguidance of our enemies, would be military targets and not innocent civilians. They are to never intentionally target civilians. Whether you like it or not, this is Islam.

I will list the proof to show where you are wrong as below. Please study each case carefully and if you disagree respond to each one with proofs to show where I am wrong:

1. You use the following verse to justify your concept of respond in kind to mean killing innocents of our enemies if they kill our innocents:"whoever then transgresses against you, transgress against him in a similar (bi-mithli) manner as he attacked you."The verse is very direct giving Muslims the right to respond to the guilty party in kind for the transgressions they have made. I dont think anyone would argue with that. But from the point of view of innocent women and children that had nothing to do with the transgression, what actions have they taken to deserve this in kind (bi-mithli) treatment? These are people not objects, and an innocent
baby, child, mother, etc that may have no idea of what a family member did should not be made to receive a bi-mithli treatment for an aggression that they had no part in. The innocents should get their own bi-mithli response for their own actions and not for someone elses. This is Allahs Justice for them as individuals. Your concept strays very far from the idea of universal justice in Islam, other religions and for humanity and the laws of nature as a whole.
2. The Quran says:On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earnsEvery soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of anotherLet them bear, on the Day of Judgment, their own burdens in full...Why should you, as a young child or brother of someone, be made to suffer for something that a family member or someone else did? Even if you agree with their actions, Islam does not punish people for thought crimes. It punishes for thoughts followed by actions. Bottom line is that neither you nor anyone else should be made to bear a guilty persons
burdens according to the Quran.
3. The Quran is very clear regarding the sacredness of human life. It also spells out clearly what conditions must exist that will give us the permission to take someones life. It clearly states:if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people... Quran (5:32)What murder or spreading mischief in the land would that innocent child, that you are so ready to kill, belonging to the enemy be guilty of that warrants their death? Where in the Quran does it give you the permission to take any innocent persons
life? Will you break with the Quran to follow the wrong actions of your enemies?
4. As mentioned to you by others, people belonging to the enemy may be totally against the actions of their government. They may have fought with every breadth of their being to stop the

[IslamCity] Gaza Evacuation Should Be Americans' Last Straw!

2005-08-26 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Gaza Evacuation Should Be Americans' Last Straw by Charley Reese

As I watched the extensive, plainly sympathetic coverage of Jewish settlers being evicted from their Gaza homes, I couldn't help but take note once again of the striking double standard applied by American news media as well as the U.S. government.
I cannot recall any sympathetic coverage of Palestinians being evicted from their homes. No interviews with weeping mothers or fathers. No discussions of whether the evictions were right or wrong. This is obviously a deliberate policy on the part of America's television networks, for after all, they had 4,170 opportunities to report on Palestinian evictions since September 2000. That's how many homes were destroyed, and, of course, doesn't count the orchards and olive trees bulldozed by the Israeli army or Israeli settlers.
Of course, Palestinians were not evicted by sympathetic soldiers or promised huge amounts of money to relocate. No, they were brutally told to get out of their houses, which were then blown up or bulldozed into rubble by decidedly unsympathetic Israeli soldiers. What little they had was destroyed, and they were offered nothing except verbal abuse by the Israelis and invisibility by the American media.
One idealistic American girl who tried to stop an Israeli bulldozer from destroying a Palestinian home was crushed to death by the bulldozer. Naturally, the United States government did nothing, and the American media obediently either ignored her death or accepted the Israeli excuse that the driver couldn't see her, which is bull. She was killed in broad, sunny daylight while wearing a blaze-orange jacket and standing atop a pile of dirt.
As an American consumer of commercial news, you should protest. You are being denied the balanced coverage of this conflict that would allow you to form an intelligent opinion. You are, in effect, being fed Israeli propaganda, and if all you know is what you read in most newspapers and see on television, then you would surely think the Palestinians are a faceless mob of howling savages. Actually, they are among the most highly educated and industrious people in the Middle East. A considerable number of them are Christians.
I'm sure you are aware of the Israeli children who have been killed in this current intifada, which started Sept. 29, 2000. There were 122. But are you aware of the 686 Palestinian children who have died? About 1,000 Israeli adults have been killed, while 3,653 Palestinian adults have been killed. About 7,000 Israelis have been wounded; 29,014 Palestinians have been wounded. The Palestinians have nothing with which to resist the occupation of their land except rifles, pistols, homemade bombs and small rockets. Israel, of course, is ranked fifth in the world as a military power and has all the modern weaponry America can supply.
The West Bank and Gaza are not "disputed territory," which is the latest Israeli propaganda term adopted by the American lickspittle politicians. Under international law, the West Bank and Gaza are illegally occupied by the Israeli military. They were seized in 1967 in Israel's blitzkrieg war. The Palestinians, who even then had no government and no army, did not provoke the war.
The tragic truth is that the Palestinian majority that wants peace has not been allowed to have a functioning government and is therefore helpless to stop independent groups from carrying out attacks against the Israeli occupiers. The Palestinian Authority was denied the tools necessary to govern from the get-go.
I will say this about the Israelis: They have chutzpah. Evacuating a minuscule number of settlers from Palestinian land, they tell the Palestinians it is now up to them to live peacefully. Of course, Gaza will be a fenced-off prison. That's the equivalent of the Nazis telling the Poles after the German invasion that it was up to them to live peacefully if they didn't want to be murdered and imprisoned.
The illegal settlements in Gaza were put there despite America's opposition and in disregard of international law. Now, of course, the Israelis want the American taxpayers to pay $2.2 billion to correct their mistake made in defiance of U.S. policy. They expect us to pay for the transfer of the Israeli settlers.
If the U.S. government goes along with this outrageous request, that ought to be the last straw for every patriotic American. "Strive as in a race to achieve the goal of excellence in all that you do."For real insights visit:http://www.geocities.com/mewatch99/Regards,Nashid

The Army Corps of Engineers are irate and reporting through the AP that they were well aware that the NO levee system was inadequate to withstand the impact of a Class III or Class IV hurricane. Money that had been set aside for the reinforcement of the NO levee system was diverted by Bush to fund the Iraqi War. Construction was to have taken place last year, which would have been more than enough time to prevent the greatest natural catastrophe the United States has ever known in modern times.

[IslamCity] The Hypocrisy of Muslims Exposed!

2005-09-07 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

The Prophet (saaw)said in his last sermon, "Know that every Muslim is a brother to every other Muslim, and that the Muslims constitute one nation." He also said thatMuslims are like one bodyand when one part of the body hurts then the rest of the body should join in to alleviate the pain.

Today we have changed the Prophet's (saaw)words to adhere to western definitions and see ourselves as one nation only within the country we live and notthrough the identification with Muslims world wide. Nothing wrong with identifying with the people and country where you live. But there is something definitely wrong when we don't identify with the pain and suffering of Muslims all over the world. When we don't care to know because that knowledge is too "depressing", "boring", etc and the only pain we respond to is when we feel it like in Katrina, then we have lost our humanity and Muslim identity and strayed far from what Islam truly teaches. A higher level of development is when we grow to identify with the suffering of any human being anywhere in the world.

Outside his comment of using the word Kufaar to describe people of the West, I agree with brother Khilafah's comments below. We should all read them carefully. Well for Katrina, Tsunami, and other disasters at least there was aid coming to them. But Fallujah and other cities in Iraq, Afghanistan and the devastation that the Palestinians are constantly living under, there is no aid and their situation is worse. Where is the outpouring of American Muslim support for them?

I repeat that the Prophet (saaw) said,"Know that every Muslim is a brother to every other Muslim, and that the Muslims constitute one nation." Have we now changed that to mean that only if we are US citizens we are one nation and only then would American Muslims give support? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I want to ask you, ISNA, ICNA, CAIR and other organization asking for donations and help for Katrina relief where were you when man made disaster fell on Fallujah in which entire city was demolished torubble, around 50,000 people were killed that included infants, little children, women and old and sick in the hospital and 200,000 people were evicted to desert tents? Are you saying that American lives are more important than Iraqi lives? I saw on the TV one woman moaning and crying for her dog who died in the hurricane, did she cry when thousands of babies and women died in Iraq by a man-made disaster? Did the American media cover Iraq's man-made disaster even 1% of what coverage
Katrina is getting? Please answer and put these questions to the organizations of Muslim Americans. What did you send to Fallujah for relief?
I am not against sending help to the people in misery irrespective of faith. But my question is, why not to help the Muslims in misery especially those whose misery was created by the American bombs. The other aspect is the misery of the Africans in Mali, Niger, Darfur. Bangladesh and other poor countries need help too. If America pulls out its troops from occupied countries it will save one billion dollars a week and free up over 200,000 troops and mercenaries, hundreds of helicopters, humvees, trucks, etc to help and rebuild New Orleans and other towns hit by Katrina, millions of homeless Americans and much more. Please forward my follow up comments and this one also to all those organizations not raising funds for those who are being ignored by the world. For Katrina disaster the Congress has granted 10.5 billion dollars and the President has already signed the bill. A few hundred thousand dollars from the American Muslims will not do much for Katrina victims but will do
a lot for the Iraqis, Afghanis, and Africans. What are our priorities? Are we trying to help the needy and please Allahor trying to please theAmerican government and other Americans? Let us be realistic.So what are you trying to do to suck up to the Kufaar? This is what Allah(SWT) says in the Quraan," 14. Have you (O Muhammad SAW) not seen those (hypocrites) who take for friends a people upon whom is the Wrath of Allah ? They are neither of you (Muslims) nor of them , and they swear to a lie while they know.

15. Allah has prepared for them a severe torment. Evil indeed is that which they used to do. (58:14-15)

[IslamCity] Storm disaster brings about insight on how well 9/11 was managed!

2005-09-13 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Storm disaster fuels doubts over US terror plans
Hurricane Katrina's devastation of New Orleans -- and the delay helping stranded people get out or even get water and food -- is raising doubts that U.S. cities may be ill-prepared to cope with a potentially worse disaster: a major attack.
Posted Sep 2, 2005 09:31 AM PST Category: CURRENT EVENTS Which raises an interesting point. Katrina was known to be headed into New Orleans a few days in advance, and the potential damage was known and understood years ahead of time. Yet this "unexpected" event threw the US Government into total confusion. In contrast, the aftermath of 9-11 seemed quite well coordinated, which strongly suggests that 9-11 was not "unexpected" at all, especially when one considers that all the various players, including FEMA, were already in position for a "terror drill" the day before it happened.

The aboveis Mike Ravero of WRH comments. Mike and I are thinking along the same line. I posted the following on another site recently:
Quote:

The question will be asked if it had not already, Mr. Bush "why were the resources of our nation diverted to fight a war based on false pretexts so that our crumbling infrastructure caused a real threat and disaster?" "Why, what was so important about Iraq, especially since all the claims that you made about WMD, ties to 911, etc were false?" If anything katrina did it solidified my belief that 911 was a staged event. The reaction of the government with Bush's speeches, mobilizations, etc showed that they were ready for 911. When it happened they responded and responded decisively with no hesitation. But with Katrina, they were not really ready for that. It was an act of nature that they supposedly had more advance notice of than 911 but somehow could not respond adequately. Their responses were delayed, off the mark and thousands died and suffered unnecessarily. They definitely were not ready for this as they should not have been ready for 911 if indeed 911 was a
random, unexpected act. Could it be because they had full control over the events of 911 but did not over this natural disaster?

[IslamCity] Coalition of Churches: Bush is raining down terror on the world!

2006-02-23 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq




US Church Alliance Denounces Iraq War By Brian Murphy The Associated Press Saturday 18 February 2006  Porto Alegre, Brazil - A coalition of American churches sharply denounced the US-led war in Iraq on Saturday, accusing Washington of "raining down terror" and apologizing to other nations for "the violence, degradation and poverty our nation has sown."  The statement, issued at the largest gathering of Christian churches in nearly a decade, also warned the United States was pushing the world toward environmental catastrophe with a "culture of consumption" and its refusal to back international accords seeking to battle global warming.  "We lament with special anguish the war in Iraq, launched in deception and
 violating global norms of justice and human rights," said the statement from representatives of the 34 US members of World Council of Churches. "We mourn all who have died or been injured in this war. We acknowledge with shame abuses carried out in our name."  The World Council of Churches includes more than 350 mainstream Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox churches; the Roman Catholic Church is not a member. The US groups in the WCC include the Episcopal Church, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the United Methodist Church, several Orthodox churches and Baptist denominations, among others.  The statement is part of widening religious pressure on the Bush administration, which still counts on the support of evangelical churches and other conservative denominations but is widely unpopular with liberal-minded Protestant congregations.  The Very Rev. Leonid
 Kishkovsky, the moderator for the US group of WCC members, said the letter was backed by the leaders of the churches but was not cleared by lower-level bodies. He predicted friction within congregations about the tone of the message.  "There is much internal anguish and there is division," said Kishkovsky, ecumenical officer of the Orthodox Church of America. "I believe church leaders and communities are wrestling with the moral questions that this letter is addressing."  On Friday, the US National Council of Churches - which includes many WCC members - released a letter appealing to Washington to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and saying reports of alleged torture violated "the fundamental Christian belief in the dignity of the human person."  The two-page statement from the WCC group came at the midpoint of a 10-day meeting of more than
 4,000 religious leaders, scholars and activists discussing trends and goals for major Christian denominations for the coming decades. The WCC's last global assembly was in 1998 in Zimbabwe - just four months after al-Qaida staged twin bombings at US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.  "Our country responded (to the September 11, 2001 attacks) by seeking to reclaim a privileged and secure place in the world, raining down terror on the truly vulnerable among our global neighbors ... entering into imperial projects that seek to dominate and control for the sake of national interests," said the statement. "Nations have been demonized and God has been enlisted in national agendas that are nothing short of idolatrous."  The Rev. Sharon Watkins, president of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), worried that some may interpret the statement as undermining US troops in Iraq. 
 "We honor their courage and sense of duty, but ... we, as people of faith, have to say to our brothers and sisters, 'We are so profoundly sorry,'" Watkins said.  The message also accused US officials of ignoring warnings about climate change and treating the world's "finite resources as if they are private possessions." It went on to criticize US domestic policies for refusing to confront racism and poverty.  "Hurricane Katrina revealed to the world those left behind in our own nation by the rupture of our social contract," said the statement.  The churches said they had "grown heavy with guilt" for not doing enough to speak out against the Iraq war and other issues. The statement asked forgiveness for a world that's "grown weary from the violence, degradation and poverty our nation has sown."

Before I respond to the rest of Ardeshirs ramblings, I want to correct one error I made in my earlier post. I stated: The overthrow of Spain came from outside with Charles Martel and his barbarous European hordes. Charles Martel defeated the Muslims at the Battle of Tours in 732 AD at the south of France. He never conquered Spain. It was in 1492 that Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella finally conquered Spain. Quote:When legalities are involved, Muslims have to go by what the laws of Islam dictates -- whereas non-Muslims have a choice. They could go by their own laws or choose to accept Muslim laws. History is resplendent with examples with
non-Muslims choosing Sharia laws to be judged by over their own laws. Ardeshir wrote: Yes, that is true - historically. Indeed people have often chosen to be judged by authorities like a king or a duke. But that doesn't mean that judgement by an authority like a king or a duke is *good in principle*! It simply means that these people did so choose.Erwhen did I ever mention Dukes and Kings regarding Sharia Law? Again, Sharia Law is based on the Quran and authentic examples of Prophet Muhammad. Islam is against monarchy. There were never Kings and Dukes existing under true Sharia rule. Although Saudi Arabia and many other so-called Muslim nations have Kings, they were installed by Europeans and are against the Quran. Why do you think so many devout Muslims are angry with their leaders and their forms of government? You need to stop rambling Ardeshir!!!
Quote:My, my you sure did assume a heck of a lot based on part 1 of my essay. More than to satisfy the requirements for democracy, trials under Sharia are more concerned with satisfying the requirement to please G-d. Ardeshir wrote: Exactly. This is the whole point which I was making - Islamic rule is *not* democratic! Thanks for admitting it.Ah, your holy of holies democracy! Pssst Ardeshir being more concerned about satisfying the requirement to please G-d, does not negate democracy. In fact much of what you call democracy already existed in the Quran. Muslims believe that Sharia, being
divine, surpasses democracy and much of what you call democracy came from the Quran. You need to look at what the democracy builders built, and where they acquired the plans. Find federalism, the confederation of autonomous and independent, self-governing states, in the Bible ... it's not there. Find it in Greece, in Rome, in any of the claimed progenitors of the American Republic ... it's not there. All you will find are autocratic monocracies, you will not even find comity but only the expedience of relations between singular monopolistic potentates who are respecters of no authority but their own. Find the prohibition of religious compulsion in the Bible ... anywhere, Old or New. No, rather we find foundations of coercion, license for genocide against the "faithless" of other communions. Beyond the "authorized" congregants, all others are savage and subhuman, devoid of grace or letters and in need of redemption or death. The idea of man and freedom in the
Constitution is more in line with the Islamic idea of man than the Christian idea of man. The freedom to pursue life, liberty and excellence are ideas espoused in the Quran. The Declaration of Independence of the USA was in reality no more than a re-discovery of many of the major and basic principles given in the Quran. When Thomas Jefferson wrote down the Declaration of Independence, he was influenced by the natural rights theories of John Locke. It is a known fact that Thomas Jefferson "borrowed" many of his ideas for the Declaration of Independence from John Locke. As it turns out, Locke had a degree in Arabic Studies from Oxford University and "borrowed" many of his ideas from the Qur'an. Interesting, the roots of American democracy was in Al-Islam. Rather than deal with that in depth here, I will write another essay entitled Sharia versus Democracy that explores that connection.
Quote:I understand your sympathies for criminals. That is a peculiar characteristic of the Western mind. Although it has been pointed out very clearly that the punishment for amputating the hand is not administered to those in need but to those in greed. Ardeshir wrote: I know that. But the punishment still is far more harsh than the crime itself. Consider: if I have my car stolen, even if it were brand new, I can work hard for five years or less, and save enough money to buy another. Indeed my insurance will pay for a huge chunk of it - even all of it if I have enough coverage. How long would the criminal have to work, Nashid, to buy himself another hand?Yes, and the criminal who got away is encouraged to steal again
and again and perhaps in the process committing greater crimes, even murder. How long would the murdered have to work to buy themselves another life Ardeshir? No, cutting the hand is a most merciful punishment that stops the crook in

[IslamCity] IDF officer cleared in death of Gaza girl to receive compensation from state!

2006-03-25 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

From the following link: 294507245A Givati Brigade officer will receive NIS 80,000 in compensation from the state after he was cleared of all charges in relating to the death of 13-year-old Palestinian girl, Iman Al Hamas, in the much-publicized "confirmed kill" affair. Captain "R" will receive NIS 80,000 in compensation from the state in addition to reimbursement for NIS 2,000 of legal expenses, as part of an arrangement reached between his lawyers and the military prosecution. The agreement was made official Wednesday in the Israel Defense Forces's Southern Command court. The officer, who at the time of the incident was serving as a company commander in the Givati infantry
brigade's Shaked battalion, has since been promoted to major, and is currently serving as an operations officer in the brigade. The judges who acquitted Captain R accepted his version of event, in which he stated that the shots that he fired were not aimed directly at the girl's body. Captain R told the court he opened fire in order to create a deterrence, and that he believed that the young girl posed a serious threat. The judges also criticized the Military Police's investigation of the case, which was based upon a poor transcription of recorded evidence and upon the testimonies of disgruntled soldiers serving under Captain R. Comments:It was cold-blooded murder of a scared schoolgirl even too far away to be any kind of threat. The killer gets compensation, legal fees paid, and promotion to major in his brigade. Wicked.

[IslamCity] Is the US Waging Israel's Wars?

2006-04-30 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq




While I disagree with some of the points made by the author of this article, she does a good job in exposing how Israeli hegemony over the Middle East is the real aim of the US wars.She also clearly showshow the current situation in the Middle East was planned for by Israelisyears before 911.http://www.counterpunch.org/heard04252006.htmlApril 25, 2006The Prophecy of Oded YinonIs the US Waging Israel's Wars?By LINDA S. HEARDMany throughout the Muslim world and beyond are asking this question: What are the real reasons behind the US invasion of Iraq and its wish to overthrow the governments of Syria and Iran?For all their grandiose posturing, in truth, Iraq, Syria and Iran have never posed a direct
 threat to the US mainland. Put simply, they're too far away from the neighbourhood. So why would the US be willing to expend so many human lives and so much treasury on changing the regimes of countries it doesn't like?Theories abound. At the top of the list is America's quest for oil, a shrinking, non-renewable resource. But, in reality, the US gets very little of its oil from the Middle East and the Gulf. Most comes from South America and Africa.Another theory revolves around the petrodollar monopoly, which both Iraq and Iran have sought to disband by trading their oil in Euros. There may be something in this one but it doesn't explain why Syria is in the firing line.The US says it wishes to export 'democracy' to the region but its reaction towards the Shiite government in Iraq, led by the Dawa Pasrty that has close ties with Iran, and the way that the
 democratically-elected new Hamas-led Palestinian government has been isolated, hardly lends credence to this. Democracy will not bring US-friendly governments, which is what the Bush administration really seeks.A premise, which many in the Arab world believe, should also be dissected. Is the US manipulating and remoulding the area so that Israel can remain the only regional superpower in perpetuity?This is not as fanciful as one might imagine on first glance. Read the following strangely prophetic segment from an article published in 1982 by the World Zionist Organisation's publication Kivunim and penned by Oded Yinon, an Israeli journalist with links to the Israeli Foreign Ministry.Yinon's strategy was based on this premise. In order to survive Israel must become an imperial regional power and must also ensure the break-up of all Arab countries so that the region may be carved
 up into small ineffectual states unequipped to stand up to Israeli military might. Here's what he had to say on Iraq:"The dissolution of Syria and Iraq into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon is Israel's primary target on the Eastern frontIraq, rich in oil on the one hand and internally torn on the other is guaranteed as a candidate for Israel's targets. Its dissolution is even more important for us than that of Syria. Iraq is stronger than Syria. In the short run, it is Iraqi power which constitutes the greatest threat to Israel."An Iraqi-Iranian war will tear Iraq apart and cause its downfall at home even before it is able to organize a struggle on a wide front against us. Every kind of inter-Arab confrontation will assist us in the short run and will shorten the way to the more important aim of breaking up Iraq into denominations as in Syria and Lebanon."In
 Iraq, a division into provinces along ethnic/religious lines as in Syria during Ottoman times is possible. So, three (or more) states will exist around the three major cities: Basra, Baghdad and Mosul and Shiite areas in the South will separate from the Sunni and Kurdish north."Sound familiar?Now let's focus on the reality, 24 years on.The eight-year long Iran-Iraq War that ended in 1988 was responsible for over a million casualties but did not result in Yinon's desired break-up. Iraq still stood as a strong homogenous entity.Iraq was, however, severely weakened in 1991 as a result of the Gulf War brought about by Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. Still, the country remained unified.It took the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq and the subsequent occupation to destabilize Iraq and split the country on sectarian lines. Indeed, its new constitution is
 drawn around a loose federation with partial autonomy for the northern Kurds and the southern Shiites, and the country is now rife with sectarian, religious and ethnic strife. Some say "civil war".Turning to Syria, until the March 2003 invasion of Iraq Syria under President Bashar Al-Assad enjoyed reasonably good relations with the West. We should also remember that Syria fought alongside the US-led allies during the Gulf War. Syria also voted, albeit reluctantly, for the UN resolution that oiled the invasion, and was a strong partner in the so-called 'War on Terror'.Then, lo and behold, Syria could do no right. Suddenly, it was accused to all kinds of 'crimes' from hiding Iraq's mythical weapons of mass destruction, harbouring insurgents and terrorists,

[IslamCity] SEC Report - Who Financially Profited Fom the 911 Attacks?

2006-05-02 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq




http://tbrnews.org/Archives/a048.htmSEC SECRET PROBE OF STOCK DEALINGS BEFORE 9/11  Between August 26 and September 11, 2001, a group of speculators, identified by the American Securities and Exchange Commission as Israeli citizens, sold short a list of 38 stocks that could reasonably be expected to fall in value as a result of the pending attacks. These speculators operated out of the Toronto, Canada and Frankfurt, Germany, stock exchanges and their profits were specifically stated to be in the millions of dollars.Short selling of stocks involves the opportunity to gain large profits by passing shares to a friendly third party, then buying them back when the price falls. Historically, if this precedes a traumatic event, it is an indication of foreknowledge. It is widely known that the CIA uses the Promis software to routinely monitor stock trades as a possible warning sign of a terrorist attack or suspicious economic behavior. A week after the Sept.11 attacks, the London Times reported that the CIA had asked regulators for the Financial Services Authority in London to investigate the suspicious sales of millions of shares of stock just prior to the terrorist acts. It was hoped the business paper trail might lead to the terrorists. Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations There has been a great deal of talk about insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information about who made the
 trades was available immediately. "We would have been aware of any unusual activity right away. It would have been triggered by any unusual volume. There is an automated system called 'blue sheeting,' or the CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows about. It provides information on the trades - the name and even the Social Security number on an account - and these surveillance systems are set up specifically to look into insider trading. The system would look at the volume, and then a real person would take over and review it, going back in time and looking at other unusual activity." Howard
 continued, "The system is so smart that even if there is a news event that triggers a market event it can go back in time, and even the parameters can be changed depending on what is being looked at. It's a very clever system and it is instantaneous. Even with the system, though, we have very experienced and savvy staff in our market-regulations area who are always looking for things that might be unusual. They're trained to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Even if it's offshore, it might take a little longer, but all offshore accounts have to go through U.S. member firms - members of the CBOE - and it is easily and quickly identifiable who made the trades. The member firm who made the trades has to have identifiable information about the client under the 'Know Your Customer' regulations (and we share all information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.)"  Given all of this, at a minimum the CBOE and government regulators who are conducting the secret investigations have known for some time who made the options puts on a total of 38 stocks that might reasonably be anticipated to have a sharp drop in value because of an attack similar to the 9/11 episode. The silence from the investigating camps could mean several things: Either terrorists are responsible for the puts on the listed stocks or others besides terrorists had foreknowledge of the attack and used this knowledge to reap a nice financial harvest from the tragedy. Adam Hamilton of Zeal LLC, a North Dakota-based private consulting company that publishes research on markets worldwide, stated that "I heard that $22 million in profits was made on these put options..." Federal investigators are continuing to be so closed-mouthed about these stock trades, and it is clear that a much wider net has been cast,
 apparently looking for bigger international fish involved in dubious financial activity relating to the 9/11 attacks on the world stock markets. Just a month after the attacks the SEC sent out a list of stocks to various securities firms around the world looking for information. The list includes stocks of American, United, Continental, Northwest, Southwest and US Airways airlines, as well as Martin, Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp., AIG, American Express Corp, American International Group, AMR
 Corporation, Axa SA, Bank of America Corp, Bank of New York Corp, Bank One Corp, Cigna Group, CNA Financial, Carnival Corp, Chubb Group, John Hancock Financial Services, Hercules Inc, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., LTV Corporation, Marsh  McLennan Cos. Inc., MetLife,

[IslamCity] June 2006, FBI says, �No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11'

2006-07-04 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

The Ithaca JournalA thought provoking e-mail circulated through Internet news groups in June, and was sent to the Muckraker Report by Paul V. Sheridan (Winner of the 2005 Civil Justice Foundation Award), bringing attention to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist web page for Osama bin Laden. In the e-mail, the question is asked, Why doesn't Osama bin Laden's Most Wanted poster make any direct connection with the events of Sept. 11, 2001? The FBI says on its bin Laden Web page, http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm, that Osama bin Laden is wanted in connection with the Aug. 7, 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. According to the FBI, these attacks killed over 200 people. The FBI concludes its reason for wanting bin Laden by saying, In addition, bin Laden
is a suspect in other terrorists attacks throughout the world. The Muckraker Report contacted the FBI headquarters on June 6 to learn why their bin Laden's Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Osama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, chief of investigative publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on the Bin Laden's Most Wanted Web page, Tomb said, The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11. Surprised by the ease with which this FBI spokesman made such an astonishing statement, I asked, How was this possible? Tomb continued, bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11. I asked, How does that work? Tomb continued, The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides
whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11. It shouldn't take long before the full meaning of these FBI statements start to prick your brain and raise your blood pressure. If you think the way I think, in quick order you will be wrestling with a barrage of very powerful questions that must be answered. First and foremost, if the U.S. government does not have enough hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11, how is it possible that it had enough evidence to invade Afghanistan to smoke him out of his cave? The federal government claims to have invaded Afghanistan to root out bin Laden and the Taliban. Through the talking heads in the mainstream media, the Bush
administration told the American people that Osama bin Laden was Public Enemy Number One and responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001. Yet nearly five years later, the FBI says that it has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11. Next is the bin Laden confession video that was released by the U.S. government on Dec. 13, 2001. Most Americans remember this video. It was the video showing bin Laden with a few of his comrades recounting with delight the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks against the United States. The Department of Defense issued a press release to accompany this video in which Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said, There was no doubt of bin Laden's responsibility for the Sept. 11 attacks before the tape was discovered. What Rumsfeld implied by his statement was that bin Laden was the known mastermind behind 9/11 even before the confession video and that the video simply served to confirm what the U.S. government
already knew; that bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. In a Dec. 14, 2001 BBC News article reporting on the 9/11 confession video release, President Bush is said to have been hesitant to release the tape because he knew it would be a vivid reminder to many people of their loss. But, he also knew it would be a devastating declaration of bin Laden's guilt. Were going to get him, said President Bush. Dead or alive, it doesn't matter to me. In a Dec. 14, 2001 CNN report regarding the bin Laden tape, then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that the tape removes any doubt that the U.S. military campaign targeting bin Laden and his associates is more than justified. Senator Richard Shelby, R-Ala,, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said, The tape's release is central to informing people in the outside world who don't believe bin Laden was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. Shelby went on to say, I don't know how they can
be in denial after they see this tape. Well, Senator Shelby, apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation isn't convinced by the taped confession, so why are you? The Muckraker Report attempted to secure a reference to the U.S. government authenticating the bin Laden

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Re: ISRAEL WAS FORGED THROUGH ASSASSINATION AND KIDNAP . . . OF THE BRITISH

2006-07-28 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Thanks for making the corrections on this article klris. I agree with them. I don't think that the name Israel and defense can be mentioned in the same breadth. They have always been ruthless aggressors and evil murderers. In the article I definitely do not agree with the following two paragraphs:"So blood- thirstily selfrighteous is the language of this long proclamation that it could just as easily have been written today by Hezbollah or Hamas or Al-Qaeda. The sacred cause may be different, but the language and the type of mind behind it remain the same.""Here is the origin of today's bitter Arab resent ment of Israeli hegemony -- a resentment which powers Hamas and Hezbollah as they follow the path of terrorism first mapped out by the Stern Gang and the Irgun Zvei Leumi in the 1940s."I don't see Hamas and Hizbollah as having anything to do with terrorism. We all know who
the real terrorists are. Thanks for your edits. I should be a little more careful to read in full what I post.[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:My remarks are in red.-- Original message ------ From: Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq [EMAIL PROTECTED] DAILY MAIL (London) July 21, 2006 Friday By Correlli Barnett SEVERAL of my good friends are American, but this does not inhibit me from criticising George W. Bush's catastrophically misguided invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Similarly, I have good friends who are Jewish, but this will not inhibit me from criticising the current 'total war' being waged on Lebanon by the Israeli state. The fact that some of
my Jewish friends will read this article only makes me the more sad that I have to say, as a military historian, that this war is grotesquely out of proportion to the level of casualties and damage previously inflicted on Israel by Hezbollah. It is likewise grotesquely out of proportion to the taking hostage of two Israeli soldiers -- as are the ferocious Israeli attacks inside the Gaza strip in response to the taking hostage of just one soldier. Certainly, Israel [based on her illegal beginning, I disagree]has the right to defend herself today as she has done successfully in the past. But surely her response to Hamas and Hezbollah should have been limited and precisely targeted rather than a version of the 'shock and awe' bombing which opened the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. The Israeli government should have learned that 'shock and awe' may only be a prelude to a protracted guerilla war. During the
long and bitter struggle against the IRA in Northern Ireland, it never occurred to any British government that the IRA bases and arms dumps within the Irish Republic should be bombed by the Royal Air Force, let alone that whole districts of Irish cities like Drogheda known to harbour IRA terrorists should be destroyed. Because they are one of th re original 12 tribes of true Israelof the BibleEqually, it has never occurred to a Spanish government that it would be right and proper to respond to the lethal, indiscriminate attacks by ETA (the Basque terrorist organisation) by savagely bombing and rocketing San Sebastian and other Basque cities. Sames as above.WHY SHOULD Israel regard herself as a p r i v i l e g e d exception? Why should 'the West' in general -- and Bush and Blair in particular -- also regard her as a privileged exception, rightfully entitled to conduct a savage total war in response to
Hezbollah attacks no worse than those of the IRA and ETA? Because they are not of the true Israelie lineage of the bible according to the Israeli writer A Kostler in his book `THE 13th TRIBE. According to him, they are of a totally different blood line, mongoloid. They have fooled most of the world.These questions are the more pertinent because Israel herself was born out of a terrorist struggle in 1945-48 against Britain, which then ruled Palestine under a United Nations mandate. The so-called Stern Gang (after its founder, Abraham Stern) specialised in assassination, its most famous victim being Lord Moyne, the Colonial Secretary, shot in Cairo in 1944. But by far the most dangerous Jewish terrorist group was the Irgun Zvei Leumi (National Military Organisation) led by Menachem Begin, who after the creation of the state of Israel founded the Likud political party, and even finished up as prime minister. The group's
propaganda stated its political aims with brutal clarity. First, what it called 'the Nazo-British occupation forces' must be driven out of Palestine. Then a Jewish state would be established embracing the whole of Palestine and Transjordan (as Jordan was then known). Too bad about the native population of Arabs, of course. The group's logo, displayed on the fly-posters which I myself saw as a soldier in Palestine in 1946-47, showed a crude map of Palestine and Transjordan with an arm holding a rifle splayed across it. The Irgun's successful attacks included the demolition in August 1946 of the wing of the King David Hotel

Around 75 top professors and leading scientists believe the attacks were puppeteered by war mongers in the
 White House to justify the invasion and the occupation of oil-rich Arab countries. See also... New DNA bid to identify 9/11 victims Flight 93 'was shot down' claims book Iran's president keeps promise to purge universities of 'liberals'The claims have caused outrage and anger in the US which marks the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Monday. But leading scientists say the facts of their investigations cannot be ignored and say they have evidence that points to one of
 the biggest conspiracies ever perpetrated.   Professor Steven Jones, who lectures in physics at the Brigham Young University in Utah, says the official version of events is the biggest and most evil cover up in history.   He has joined the 9/11 Scholars for Truth whose membership includes up to 75 leading scientists and experts from universities across the US. Prof Jones said: "We don't believe that 19 hijackers and a few others in a cave in Afghanistan pulled this off acting alone. "We challenge this official conspiracy theory and, by God, we're going to get to the bottom of this." In essays and journals, the scientists are giving credence to many of the conspiracy theories that have circulated on the internet in the past five years. They believe a group of US neo-conservatives called the Project for a New American Century, set on US world dominance, orchestrated the 9/11 attacks as
 an excuse to hit Iraq, Afghanistan and later Iran. The group says scientific evidence over the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon is conclusive proof. Professor Jones said it was impossible for the twin towers to have collapsed in the way they did from the collision of two aeroplanes. He maintains jet fuel does not burn at temperatures high enough to melt steel beams and claims horizontal puffs of smoke seen during the collapse of the towers are indicative of controlled explosions used to bring down the towers. The group also maintains World Trade Centre 7 - a neighbouring building which caught fire and collapsed later in the day - was only partially damaged but had to be destroyed because it housed a clandestine CIA station. Professor James Fetzer, 65, a retired philosopher of science at the University of Minnesota, said: "The evidence is so overwhelming,
 but most Americans don't have time to take a look at this." The 9/11 Commission dismissed the numerous conspiracy theories after its exhaustive investigation into the terror attacks. Subsequent examinations of the towers' structure have sought to prove they were significantly weakened by the impact which tore off fire retardant materials and led the steel beams bending under heat and then collapsing. Christopher Pyle, professor of constitutional law at Mt Holyoake College in Massachusetts, has dismissed the academic group. He said: "To plant bombs in three buildings with enough bomb materials and wiring? It's too huge a project and would require far too many people to keep it a secret afterwards. "After every major crisis, like the assassinations of JFK or Martin Luther King, we've had conspiracy theorists who come up with plausible scenarios for gullible people. It's a
 waste of time." But University of Wisconsin assistant professor, Kevin Barrett, said experts are unwilling to believe theories which don't fit into their belief systems. He said: "People will disregard evidence it if causes their faith to be shattered. I think we were all

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Palestinians forced to scavenge for food on rubbish dumps!

2006-09-11 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

The link to this article is:http://news.independent.co.uk/Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Israeli military and economic siege of Gaza has led to a collapse in Palestinian living conditions and many people only survive by looking for scraps of food in rubbish dumps, say international aid agencies. "The pressure and tactics have not resulted in a desire for compromise," Karen
Abuzayd, the head of the UN Relief and Works Agency is said to have warned. "But rather they have created mass despair, anger and a sense of hopelessness and abandonment." Israel closed the entry and exit points into the Gaza Strip, home to 1.5 million Palestinians, on 25 June and has conducted frequent raids and bombings that have killed 262 people and wounded 1,200. The crisis in Gaza has been largely ignored by the rest of the world, which has been absorbed by the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon. "Women in Gaza tell me they are eating only one meal a day, bread with tomatoes or cheap vegetables," said Kirstie Campbell of the UN's World Food Programme, which is feeding 235,000 people. She added that in June, since when the crisis has worsened, some 70 per cent of people in Gaza could not meet their family's food needs. "People are raiding garbage dumps," she said. Not only do Palestinians in Gaza get little to eat but what food they
have is eaten cold because of the lack of electricity and money to pay for fuel. The Gaza power plant was destroyed by an Israeli air strike in June. In one month alone 4 per cent of Gaza's agricultural land was destroyed by Israeli bulldozers. The total closure imposed by Israel, supplemented by deadly raids, has led to the collapse of the Gazan economy. The 35,000 fishermen cannot fish because Israeli gunboats will fire on them if they go more than a few hundred yards from the shore. At the same time the international boycott of the Hamas government means that there is no foreign aid to pay Palestinian government employees. The government used to have a monthly budget of $180-200m, half of which went to pay 165,000 public sector workers. But it now has only $25m a month. Aid agencies are frustrated by their inability to persuade the world that the humanitarian crisis is far worse in Gaza than it is in Lebanon. The WFP says: "In contrast to Lebanon, where
humanitarian food aid needs have been essentially met, the growing number of poor in Gaza are living on the bare minimum." It is possible for foreign journalists to visit Gaza but it is a laborious process passing through the main Israeli checkpoint at Erez and then walking down a long concrete tunnel. The kidnapping of two Fox television employees by criminals - though they were later released - has also dissuaded several TV companies from covering the crisis. The total closure imposed by Israel dates from the seizure of Cpl Gilad Shalit by Palestinian militants on 25 June. Between then and the end of August, Israeli security forces killed 226 Palestinians, 54 of them minors, in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem. Of these it says that 114 were taking no part in any hostilities. The quickest way to alleviate the crisis would be for Israel to allow the Rafah crossing into Egypt to reopen, according to the
mayor of Gaza City. But any restoration of the economy would require the reopening of the other crossing points at Erez and Karni. * Israel lifted its sea blockade of Lebanon yesterday after an interim maritime task force led by an Italian admiral deployed off the Lebanese coast, the commander of UN peacekeepers said.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Jews attack leading alternative 9/11 scholar

2006-09-16 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

BYU's Jones denies bias Thursday, September 14, 2006 By Tad Walch Deseret Morning News PROVO Stung by what he said are false accusations of anti-Semitism, Brigham Young University physics professor Steven Jones said Wednesday he has decided to stop talking about who might have been behind what he has alleged was government involvement in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "That's what I've resolved for the future, even when pushed," Jones told the Deseret Morning News. "I'll stick with the science, thank you." Jones began last year to research the physics behind the way the World Trade Center towers fell. Disturbed by the remarkable speed with which they fell and emboldened by his own experiments on ground zero materials, he developed a hypothesis that the collapse of the towers was aided by pre-positioned demolition charges. He later began to
say the charges must have been set by a group inside the U.S. government. BYU placed Jones on paid leave last week, in part for what it called "the increasingly speculative and accusatory nature of these statements by Dr. Jones." The action came two days after Jones appeared on KUER-FM 90.1's respected news talk show "Radio West." On the show, he said it appeared responsibility for the attacks rested with Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and an "international banking cartel." The statement drew immediate response from Jews who said they were offended because references to international banking have for decades been used by anti-Semitic groups as codespeak to blame Jews for various problems. Hitler often blamed "international financiers" for Germany's debt after World War I. A spokesman for the Anti-Defamation League said he will recommend in a committee meeting tomorrow that the ADL send a letter to BYU complaining about the comments and
expressing concern that such comments might be made by Jones in his classes. BYU relieved Jones of his teaching load this semester while it conducts a formal review of his research and statements. "Wow, I don't know if he could be any clearer," said Jonathan Bernstein, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League for California, Utah and Hawaii. "This is the language we hear from David Duke and other hatemongers who want to scapegoat Jews." Jones was flummoxed by the accusation, saying he was "startled" when told the phrase carried anti-Semitic overtones. He wasn't sure where he got the phrase because he was referring to the work of Webster Tarpley, a historian and member of the Scholars for 9/11 Truth, a group co-founded by Jones. Tarpley refers only to a shadowy, rogue network, not to international bankers. "I'll name them as Tarpley names them," Jones said on KUER. "Wolfowitz and Perle, in particular they do happen to be neocons but there
is a much larger group behind these (attacks) which is the international banking cartel which controls trillions of dollars and which has an interest in controlling countries in the Middle East which are not under their control." Jones said his reference to international banking might have been influenced by Cleon Skousen, a former BYU instructor and author who claimed international bankers were behind the rise of communism and fascism. Jones shared his research on 9/11 at Skousen's home in the fall of 2005 before Skousen died. Jones said he regrets talking about who might have been behind the attacks and from now on will leave that investigation to Tarpley and other members of the self-named "9/11 truth movement." "In the past, numerous times I deferred to those experts," Jones said. "This time I said, in my opinion, (Tarpley's) right. But I also think that's way outside the research I specialize in. I think it's smarter to leave the tasks of who should be
investigated to those who specialize in those things." Instead, he'll concentrate on his research about evidence from ground zero and the intriguing, unsettled questions about why the third World Trade Center building, Building Seven, fell later on Sept. 11 without being struck by a plane. A report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology is due early next year. Jones contends measurements he took of a sample of the molten metal found under all three buildings show it is not aluminum from the planes nor structural steel. "I can be proven wrong," Jones said. "I accept that. But whoever does it will have to explain this molten metal to me, and especially all the barium found. That's nasty stuff that's not going to be used in a building." Jones said he doesn't blame Jews for the attacks. "I had no idea this would be some sort of codespeak for anti-Semitism," Jones said. "It is not right to link such a group to Jews."
Salt Lake Valley resident Scott Klepper said Jones' statements were hurtful. "As a Jew, I view Jones' unsubstantiated conclusion as an affront to the Jewish community, to BYU and to real researchers and academics." "Strive as in a race to achieve the goal of excellence in all that you do."For real

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Muslim anger grows at Pope speech!

2006-09-18 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq




  Muslim anger grows at Pope speech  The Pope's comments came on a visit to GermanyA statement from the Vatican has failed to quell criticism of Pope Benedict XVI from Muslim leaders, after he made a speech about the concept of holy war.   Speaking in Germany, the Pope quoted a 14th Century Christian emperor who said Muhammad had brought the world only "evil and inhuman" things.   Pakistan's
 parliament passed a resolution on Friday criticising the Pope for making "derogatory" comments.   The Vatican said the Pope had not intended to offend Muslims.   "It is clear that the Holy Father's intention is to cultivate a position of respect and dialogue towards other religions and cultures, and that clearly includes Islam," said chief Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi in a statement.   But in spite of the statement, the pontiff returned to Rome to face a barrage of criticism, reports the BBC's David Willey in Rome.   The head of the Muslim Brotherhood said the Pope's remarks "aroused the anger of the whole Islamic world".   Violence and faith   In his speech at Regensburg University, the German-born Pope explored the historical and philosophical differences between Islam and Christianity, and the relationship between violence and faith. The remarks do not express correct understanding of Islam Mohammed Mahdi AkefMuslim Brotherhood  Stressing that they were not his own words, he quoted Emperor Manual II Paleologos of the Byzantine Empire, the Orthodox Christian empire which had its capital in
 what is now the Turkish city of Istanbul.   The emperor's words were, he said: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."   Benedict said "I quote" twice to stress the words were not his and added that violence was "incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul".   'Angry and hurt'   Pakistan's parliament passed a resolution demanding that the Pope retract his remarks "in the interest of harmony between religions".   READ THE SPEECH   Read the Pope's speech [37KB]   Most computers will open this document automatically, but you may need Adobe ReaderDownload the reader here  "The derogatory remarks of the Pope about the philosophy of jihad and Prophet Mohammed have injured sentiments across the Muslim world and pose the danger of spreading acrimony among the religions," the AFP news agency quoted the resolution by the country's national assembly as saying.   In India, which has a sizeable Muslim population, Minority Commission Chairman Hamid Ansari said: "The language used by the Pope sounds like that of his 12th-Century counterpart who ordered the crusades...   "It surprises me because the Vatican has
 a very comprehensive relationship with the Muslim world."   The remarks prompted fears of unrest in Indian-administered Kashmir, as a result of which two separatist leaders were put under house arrest.   Meanwhile, the "hostile" remarks drew a demand for an apology from a top religious official in Turkey - where the Pope is due in November on his first papal visit to a Muslim country.   Ali Bardakoglu recalled atrocities committed by Roman Catholic Crusaders against Orthodox Christians and Jews, as well as Muslims, in the Middle Ages.   In Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood head Mohammed Mahdi Akef said the Pope's words "do not express correct understanding of Islam and are merely wrong and distorted beliefs being repeated in the West".   In a statement, he was "astonished that such remarks come from someone who sits on top of the Catholic Church which has its influence on the public opinion in the West".   Sheikh Youssef al-Qardawi, a prominent Muslim
 cleric in Qatar, rejected the Pope's comments, in remarks reported by Reuters.   "Muslims have the right to be angry and hurt by these comments from the highest cleric in Christianity," Mr Qardawi reportedly said.   "We ask the Pope to apologise to the Muslim nation for insulting its religion, its Prophet and its beliefs."   The 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference also said it regretted the Pope's remarks. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5024324.stm"Strive as in a race to achieve the goal of excellence in all that you do."For real insights visit:http://www.geocities.com/mewatch99/Regards,Nashid

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] IAEA protests erroneous U.S. report on Iran

2006-09-18 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

VIENNA (Reuters) - U.N. inspectors have protested to the U.S. government and a Congressional committee about a report on Iran's nuclear work, calling parts of it "outrageous and dishonest", according to a letter obtained by Reuters. The letter recalled clashes between the IAEA and the Bush administration before the 2003 Iraq war over findings cited by Washington about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction that proved false, and underlined continued tensions over Iran's dossier. Sent to the head of the House of Representatives' Select Committee on Intelligence by a senior aide to International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei, the letter said an August 23 committee report contained serious distortions of IAEA findings on Iran's activity. The letter said the errors suggested Iran's nuclear fuel program was much more advanced than a series of IAEA reports and Washington's own intelligence assessments have determined. It said the
report falsely described Iran to have enriched uranium at its pilot centrifuge plant to weapons-grade level in April, whereas IAEA inspectors had made clear Iran had enriched only to a low level usable for nuclear power reactor fuel. "Furthermore, the IAEA Secretariat takes strong exception to the incorrect and misleading assertion" that the IAEA opted to remove a senior safeguards inspector for supposedly concluding the purpose of Iran's program was to build weapons, it said. The letter said the congressional report contained "an outrageous and dishonest suggestion" that the inspector was dumped for having not adhered to an alleged IAEA policy barring its "officials from telling the whole truth" about Iran. Diplomats say the inspector remains IAEA Iran section head. The IAEA has been inspecting Iran's nuclear program since 2003. Although it has found no hard evidence that Iran is working on atomic weapons, it has uncovered many previously
concealed activities linked to uranium enrichment, a process of purifying fuel for nuclear power plants or weapons. IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said: "We felt obliged to put the record straight with regard to the facts on what we have reported on Iran. It's a matter of the integrity of the IAEA." Diplomats say Washington, spearheading efforts to isolate Iran with sanctions over its nuclear work, has long perceived ElBaradei to be "soft" on Tehran. "This (committee report) is deja vu of the pre-Iraq war period where the facts are being maligned and attempts are being made to ruin the integrity of IAEA inspectors," said a Western diplomat familiar with the agency and IAEA-U.S. relations.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Hitler, The Jews and The Frankenstein Monster!

2006-09-29 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

I had made the claim that Hitler was a creation of the Jews and that the Frankenstein monster was actually a symbol for Hitler. I also stated that Dr. Frankenstein was a symbol for the Jews. If you saw the movie Frankenstein the story goes that Dr. Frankenstein created a new life from dead body parts. At its initial birth the Frankenstein monster was obedient to Dr. Frankenstein. But later the monster rebelled and even tried to kill his creator. It decided to pursue an independent path not controlled by his creator and became a destructive creature destroying all in it's path. Let's look and see if we can find some parallels with this depiction of the Frankenstein monster with the life of Hitler and his Jewish creators: Regarding the creation of Hitler Myron C. Fagan wrote: http://educate- yourself.org/nwo/illuminatiagenda4bestoverviewyet8jun02.shtml
But the conspirators had to have a war. They had to find or create some kind of an incident to launch it. They found it in a little inconspicuous and repulsive little man who called himself Adolf Hitler. Hitler, an impecunious Austrian house painter, had been a corporal in the German army. He made the defeat of Germany into a personal grievance. He began to rabble rouse about it in the Munich, Germany area. He began to spout about restoring the greatness of the German Empire and the might of the German solidarity. He advocated the restoration of the old German military to be used to conquer the whole world. Strangely enough, Hitler, the little clown that he was, could deliver a rabble rousing speech and he did have a certain kind of magnetism. But the new authorities in Germany didn't want anymore wars and they promptly threw the obnoxious Austrian house painter into a prison cell. Aha! Here was the man, decided the conspirators, who, if
properly directed and financed, could be the key to another world war. So while he was in prison; they had Rudolph Hess and Hermann Goering write a book which they titled: Mein Kompf and attributed the authorship to Hitler; exactly as Lipdenoff wrote: Mission to Moscow and attributed the authorship to Joseph Davies; then our ambassador to Russia and a stooge of the CFR. In Mein Kampf; the Hitler pseudo-author outlined his grievances and how he would restore the German people to their former greatness. The conspirators then arranged for a wide circulation of the book among the German people in order to arouse a fanatical following for him. On his release from prison (also arranged by the conspirators); they began to groom and finance him to travel to other parts of Germany to deliver his rabble rousing speeches. Soon he gathered a growing following among other veterans of the war that soon spread to the masses who began to see in him a saviour for their beloved
Germany. Then came his leadership of what he called "his brown shirt army" and the march on Berlin. That required a great deal of financing; but the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, and others of the conspirators provided all the money he needed. Gradually Hitler became the idol of the German people and they then overthrew the Von Hindenburg government and Hitler became the new fuhrer. But that still was no reason for a war. I am sure if you studied Hitler's rise even in the "establishment" reports they did mention that it was the Warburgs and other jewish financial bankers who financed him into power. The Illuminati picked him for their purpose. The book "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler" by Professor Antony C. Hutton has this to say about Hitler's financial backers: The directors of American I.G. (Farben) were identified as prominent American businessmen: Walter Teagle, a close Roosevelt associate and backer and an NRA administrator; banker
Paul Warburg (his brother Max Warburg was on the board of I.G. Farben in Germany); and Edsel Ford. Farben contributed 400,000 RM directly to Schacht and Hess for use in the crucial 1933 elections and Farben was subsequently in the forefront of military development in Nazi Germany. A donation of 60,000 RM was made to Hitler by German General Electric (A.E.G.), which had four directors and a 25-30 percent interest held by the U.S. General Electric parent company. This role was described in Chapter Three, and we found that Gerard Swope, an originator of Roosevelt's New Deal (its National Recovery Administration segment), together with Owen Young of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Clark Minor of International General Electric, were the dominant Wall Streeters in A.E.G. and the most significant single influence. Another reference from the book "The Hitler Cult" by BRIG. GEN. JACK MOHR, C.P.D.L. states the following: At this time, the
International Zionists were anxious for a European War, through which they could enforce the Balfour Treaty and gain control of Palestine. The final financial arrangements for aid to Hitler came through the Jewish bank of Mendelsohn and Company in Amsterdam. In 1933, they advanced Hitler

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] DEBATE: Proofs that Communism is a product of Talmudic Judaism - Part I

2006-10-01 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Ardeshir wrote, Quote: I am not sure that Communism has ANYTHING to do with Judaism. What's the connection, if any - a connection which can be supported by DOCUMENTATION? Nashid, the above doesn't prove ANYTHING! Where is the DOCUMENTATION? (By which I mean, quotes from Judaism's SCRIPTURES and quotes from Communism's
DEFINITIVE LITERATURE, in which a connection is clearly spelled out?) These statements coming from anyone else would be taken in stride by me and warrant just a little education. But coming from Ardeshir it was a major SHOCK! Ardeshir passes himself off as an expert critic of Judaism and swamps forums with tons of emails about Judaism and its evil to the world. He even attended university in Israel especially at a time when the Jews there were very open about their Marxist/communist connections. What is even more shocking is that I have
debated Jews numerous times for several years on many forums regarding communism being a product of Talmudic Judaism. I have heard all the arguments and to my surprise Ardeshir, the most notorious critic of Judaism on the Internet, uses the EXACT same arguments as the Jews do. Could they both be reading from the same script? I thought that the connection of Jews to Talmudic Judaism, Marxism and the Bolshevik Revolution was course 101 for anyone in the know. But Ardeshir shocked me and believe me I was taken back by it. Actually Marxism, Nazism and Zionism are three children from the same womb. As Israel Shahak so astutely pointed out, the tactics of the Nazi Israelis against the Palestinians are not by accident. They are deliberate, springing from the same womb that birthed Nazism with their big mama being Talmudic Judaism. Although I sent Ardeshir links and statements from leading Jewish Rabbis and scholars admitting that Marxism is Talmudic Judaism, he never responded to any of them insisting on DOCUMENTATION. I guess those Jewish Rabbis and scholars were whistling Dixie and not as smart as Ardeshir to only accept it if it is documented in the Talmud and Marxs writings that Talmudic Judaism gave birth to Marxism. He expect those documents to be open and up front as world Jewry has been with exposing that 90% of them are Khazars, the hateful anti-human teachings in the Talmud, the Holocaust is a hoax and other Jewish secrets that they have carefully kept from the masses. The truth is there is plenty of documentation from authentic Jewish sources showing communism/Marxism to be a product of Judaism and tying the Bolshevik revolution to Jews. One of the biggest advocates of Marxism is Talmudic Judaism and a staunch supporter of communism was Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. If Ardeshir knows who he is maybe he was betting on your ignorance so that you would not know his importance when I had initially mentioned him. Rabbi Wise boasted that the Russian Revolution was the "crowning feat of the sons and daughters of Zion" (New YorkTimes, 3/24/17), and who, when asked to define communism, said: "Some call it communism; I call it Judaism." (The American Bulletin, May 15, 1935). Well who the heck is Rabbi Stephen Wise and why the heck should we care what he says about Judaism and Communism? Well we should care as much as we care about the Pope or the Grand Mufti making statements about Christianity and Islam. Here is a short bio on Rabbi Wise: Quote: He was the founder and head of the Jewish Institute of Religion in New York which trained Rabbis. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise was founder and head of the American Jewish Congress and head of the World Jewish Congress. He was the most prominent leader of American Jewry in his time. His Jewish Institute of Religion merged with Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati and produced the first English translation of the Babylonian Talmud known as the Rodkinson translation. It was Simon Wiesenthal and Rabbi Stephen Wise who created the human soap stories about Jews in Germany. He was a close fiend of Woodrow Wilson and it was to him that Wilson wrote the letter for Jews of U.S. acceptance of the Balfour Declaration. He was also a close friend of Roosevelt and was very instrumental in influencing Roosevelt in getting the US into WW2. There is much more about Rabbi Wise that I will share later, but he was a major, major leader
of world Jewry who I am sure knows a lot more about Talmudic Judaism than Ardeshir. What did he know that Ardeshir dont know that made him state publicly that communism is Talmudic Judaism? I am sure he had much more documentation and was not looking for a silly statement in the Talmud or Marxs writings to say that Talmudic Judaism is the progenitor of Marxism. After all his school trained Rabbis and produced the first English translation of the Talmud. He knew the essence of what the Talmud and Marxism taught -- just like anyone can look at the properties of the mineral halite and knows it is salt without something in salt or halite telling us in some silly way that they

Immediate release of the full Pentagon surveillance tapes, of which five frames (only) have been released via the official ASCE report, as Judicial Watch has also requested. We further demand release of the video tape seized by FBI agents minutes after the Pentagon hit, from the fuel service station near the Pentagon, as well as any other videotape which shows the 9/11 strike on the Pentagon.

Audio tapes of interviews with air traffic controllers on-duty on 9/11 were intentionally destroyed by crushing the cassette by hand, cutting the tape into little pieces, and then dropping the pieces in different trash cans around the building. We demand an explanation for this destruction of evidence and ask that the possible existence of other copies of such
 tapes or perhaps of written transcripts of the interviews be pursued. All air traffic controllers on-duty on 9/11 should be allowed to testify during a public forum under oath.  See query.nytimes.com archive web.archive.org suntimes cst-nws-tape07.html  6. The Secret Service, which is highly trained to protect the President from danger and to move him to a secure location in the event of a threat, breached its own standard procedures by allowing President Bush to remain at a public location for 25 minutes after it was known that the nation was under attack.

  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stan-goff/who-are-the-gemayels_b_34736.html
   
Before we deconstruct the assassination of Pierre Gemayel in Beirut two 
days ago, we need to go back in history, to 1982.
  September 15, 1982. Israeli occupation forces in Lebanon, commanded by 
Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, surround two large Palestinian refugee camps in 
Beirut. The names of the camps are Sabra and Shatila. No one is allowed in or 
out. 
  Israeli forces are allied with one faction of Lebanese, the Maronite 
Christian Phalangists, who have maintained an Israeli-supported militia along 
Lebanon's southern border.
  Lebanon, formerly an enclave of Syria, was under direct French control from 
the end of WWI until 1943. By the time it received its tentative independence 
from France, the French has guaranteed the domination of the then-majority 
Christians over the government, its adminsitrative apparatuses, and the 
economy. As greater and greater numbers of Muslims populated Lebanon, driven 
significantly by mass exlusions of Palestinians from Palestine (Israel) and 
Jordan (where many Plaestinian refugees originally went after being pushed out 
by the Israelis), this control was contested. 
  Those attempts at resolving inequalities between Christan and Muslim resulted 
in sometimes violent reaction from the Christians, who clung jealously to their 
power. The close cultural ties between Syria (the Muslim-majority portion of 
the former French Mandate) and Muslims in Lebanon led directly to strong ties 
between Muslims under attack from Christian rightsts (organized as early as 
1938 into the Kataeb Social Democratic Party, Phalange for short, by a 
Lebanese Christian strongman named Pierre Gemayel ), and to Syrian intervention 
in the affairs of its former enclave.
  Pierre Gemayel was a big fan of Spain's fasicst dictator, Francisco Franco, 
and organized the Phalangists in a nearly identical structure to the Spanish 
Phalange. This is the Party that the US government, CNN, and both US political 
parties now tout as the hope of Lebanese democracy. 
  Pierre's son, Bachir Gemayel, continued the Phalangist legacy, and organized 
Phalangist militias. In August, 1982, Bachir had just been elected president, 
in Christian-run elections that Muslims boycotted, at the height of a bloody 
civil war, now involving Lebanese Muslims, Christians, Druze, Palestinians, the 
Israelis, and the Syrians. 
  Gemayel had run for election on the promise to smash the Palestinian 
Liberation Organization (PLO).
  September 14, 1982, nine days before Bashir Gemayal was due to take office, 
he was assassinated with a bomb, ostensibly by a Lebanese Christian working for 
the Syrians, named Habib Tanious Shartouni.
  But the Phalangists' enemies were the Palestinians.
  There was a swift reaction obviously coordinated with Sharon's Israeli 
military. That brings us back to:
  September 15, 1982. Israeli occupation forces in Lebanon, commanded by 
Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, surround two large Palestinian refugee camps in 
Beirut. The names of the camps are Sabra and Shatila. No one is allowed in or 
out. Revenge was on the minds of the Phalangists, and in coordination with the 
Israeli cordon sanitaire around the Sabra and Shatila camps, the Phalangists 
entered on the afternoon of Spetember 16th. 
  For the next two days, until 8 PM, September 18th, they rampaged through the 
camps, dragging men, women, and children from their shanty-houses and hiding 
places and killing them. 
  

Israeli troops, who were part of the cordon, would claim that even though they 
knew the circumstances after Gemayel's asassination, even though they had 
allowed the Phalange militia to enter, even though they heard the screams and 
shots for over 36 hours, they had no idea what was happening in Sabra and 
Shatila. 
  During hours of darkenss, at the request of the Phalangists, Israeli troops 
fired parachute flares over the camps to assist the Phalangists with 
illumination.
  Phalange Commander Elie Hobeika was overheard by an Israeli soldier telling a 
subordinate who had asked what to do with the women and children, This is the 
last time you're going to ask me a question like that; you know exactly what to 
do. This reply was accompanied by laughter from other Phalangist militamen. 
  Palestinians who tried to flee the camps were turned back by Israeli troops.
  Israelis claim that 700-800 were killed. The BBC put the number at 800. Later 
researchers put the number closer to 1,300.
  Among Lebanese Muslims, who constitute a majority (55%), in addition to 
around 200,000 displaced Palestinians, the Phalange tradition embodied by 
Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel, nephew of Bachir Gemayel, is perceived as 
anything but democratic. Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel was assassinated two 
days ago in Beirut, and now we hear the

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Secret U.S. plan to overthrow Syrian government

Secret U.S. plan to overthrow Syrian government  12/22/2006 7:00:00 
AM GMT

);  //--  
  

 

(www.nndb.com) Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
The Bush administration is secretly funding political opposition to the 
Syrian government in a bid to topple President Bashar al-Assads regime, 
according to a classified document seen by the Time Magazine.  
   
  The two-page document states that the U.S. is already supporting regular 
meetings of internal and diaspora Syrian activists in Washington, Europe and 
even Syria to facilitate a more coherent strategy and plan of actions for all 
anti-Assad activists. 
   
  It also says that Syrias legislative elections, due in March, provide a 
potentially galvanizing issue for... critics of the Assad regime. To seize 
this opportunity, the document proposes a secret election monitoring scheme, 
in which internet accessible materials will be available for printing and 
dissemination by activists inside the country [Syria] and neighboring 
countries. 
   
  The proposal also calls for funding at least one Syrian politician who plans 
to run in the election. The secret scheme would also include voter education 
campaigns and public opinion polling, with the first poll tentatively 
scheduled in early 2007. 
   
  Quoting unidentified U.S. officials, the Time Magazine said the 
election-monitoring scheme hasnt yet been approved, in part because the 
Syrian elections could be postponed or even cancelled. But one official 
familiar with the proposal said: You are forced to wonder whether we are now 
trying to destabilize the Syrian government. 
   
  According to U.S. foreign policy experts, the scheme was developed by a 
democracy and public diplomacy working group that meets weekly at the State 
department to discuss Iran and Syria. 
   
  The State Department's deputy spokesman, Thomas Casey, said the proposal had 
already been through several classified drafts, but that the basic concept is 
very much still valid. 
   
  Some critics in Congress and the White House say that such a scheme, aimed at 
secretly ousting a foreign government, should be legally deemed a covert 
action, which by law would require that the Bush administration inform the 
intelligence committees on Capitol Hill. Some congressmen are also expected to 
oppose the secret use of publicly appropriated funds to enforce democracy in 
another country. 
   
  The Bush administration severed high-level diplomatic ties with Syria in late 
2004, saying that the Syrian government failed to stop the flow of fighters 
into Iraq or stop support for the resistance movements Hezbollah and Hamas. 
  Analysts say any U.S.-planned attempt to overthrow Assads government could 
eliminate the possibility of future dialogue between Washington and Damascus  
as proposed by the Iraq Study Group and several U.S. allies. 
  The whole effort could also be a waste of time, according to Edward P. 
Djerejian, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria who worked on the Iraq Study Group 
report. 
   
  The Syrian opposition is so fractured and weak that there is little to be 
gained by such a venture, Djerejian told the Time Magazine. To fund opposition 
parties on the margins is a distraction at best, he said. It will only impede 
the better option of engaging Syria on much more important, fundamental issues 
like Iraq, peace with Israel, and the dangerous situation in Lebanon. 
  Other analysts point to another goal for the proposed scheme. Ever since the 
U.S. invasion of Iraq, which Syria opposed, the Bush Administration has been 
looking for ways to squeeze the government in Damascus, says Joshua Landis, a 
Syria expert who is co-director of the Center for Peace Studies at the 
University of Oklahoma. 
   
  Syria has appeared to be next on the Administration's agenda to reform the 
greater Middle East This is apparently an effort to gin up the Syrian 
opposition under the rubric of 'democracy promotion' and 'election monitoring,' 
but it's really just an attempt to pressure the Syrian government into doing 
what Washington wants, Landis said. 

   Syria wants to help U.S. 
  
  President Assad wants to work with the U.S. to bring stability to Iraq, the 
U.S. Democratic Senator John F. Kerry said on Thursday after meeting the Syrian 
president. 
   
  Kerry, who visited Syria along with Democratic Senator Christopher J. Dodd,  
despite the administration's opposition to the trip  said that the meeting 
with Assad reinforced the need to follow the recommendation of the Iraq Study 
Group that Washington directly engage Syria and Iran to find a way forward in 
Iraq.
  He offered some very direct and concrete ways in which they could be helpful 
in Iraq, Kerry said. I came away with a distinct feeling that there are 
opportunities here. There are fronts in which we can work together if people 
are inclined to. 
   
  Kerry also said that

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] US declares war on Somalia killing many children in first hours of bombing!

2007-01-12 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Using the myth of Al-Qaeda, the U.S. has attacked another Muslim nation on its 
way to recovery from near total devastation. I boldly say that any Muslim who 
still believe the lie about Al-Qaeda doing 911 is a fool!!! They should go 
watch the movie Quo Vadis and see how Jewmerica is repeating the same tactic 
as the Roman Emperor Nero against the Christians. 
   
  Before the Islamics Courts were formed in Somalia, it was a nation of lawless 
gangs that were terorizing the people and causing Somalia to be reduced to a 
savage existence. The Islamic Courts was a movement formed that was 
successfully eradicating that. They were bringing order, curbing the crime and 
helping to set up law and order in a lawless land that was ravaged by famine 
and wars. They were true Muslims doing a good work using Islam as their guide.
   
  Jewmerica did not want that. So they instigated Ethiopia to attack Somalia on 
Christmas day. Now they are using the Al-Qaeda fabrication to attack Somalia 
simply because a grassroots movement of the people was trying to establish a 
true Islamic government and were being successful at it. As former Israeli 
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said:  The existence of a Muslim anywhere is a 
threat to Jews everywhere. Their war is against Islam and it is time that 
sleeping Muslims see that and stop being fooled. American Muslims should not 
wait for our government to come against us before speaking out and protesting 
the wrongs being done against Muslims all over the world. Our silence in the 
face of this evil is deafening. Allah will not bless us but punish us severely 
for ignoring the suffering of other Muslims by our tyranical government

U.S. Special Forces Engaged in Operations on the Ground in Somalia 
January 09, 2007 1:59 PM 

Alexis Debat Reports: 

U.S. special forces are working with Ethiopian troops on the ground in 
operations inside Somalia today, senior U.S. and French military sources tell 
ABC News. 

The sources declined to describe details of today's mission but said U.S. 
special forces, including a significant CIA presence, have been involved in 
numerous such missions, operating from a large American base camp known as 
Camp Le Monier, established in the French protectorate of Djibouti following 
9/11. 

There are approximately 3,000 American special forces and U.S. military 
soldiers based at Camp Le Monier, which has become a major reconnaissance and 
staging base in the fight against al Qaeda in the region.

It is from this base the CIA flies predators over Yemen and Somalia and from 
which recent air attacks over Somalia were launched.

  Airstrike Rekindles Somalis Anger at the U.S. 
By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN and MARK MAZZETTI 

MOGADISHU, Somalia, Jan. 9  Somali officials said Tuesday that dozens of 
people were killed in an American airstrike on Sunday, most of them Islamist 
fighters fleeing in armed pickup trucks across a remote, muddy stretch of the 
KenyaSomalia border. 

American officials said terrorists from Al Qaeda had been the target of the 
strike, which they said had killed about a dozen people. But the officials 
acknowledged that the identities of the victims were still unknown. 

Several residents of the area, in the southern part of the country, said dozens 
of civilians had been killed, and news of the attack immediately set off new 
waves of anti-American anger in Mogadishu, Somalias battle-scarred capital, 
where the United States has a complicated legacy. 

Theyre just trying to get revenge for what we did to them in 1993, said Deeq 
Salad Mursel, a taxi driver, referring to the infamous Black Hawk Down 
episode in which Somali gunmen killed 18 American soldiers and brought down two 
American helicopters during an intense battle in Mogadishu. 

The countrys Islamist movement swiftly seized much of Somalia last year and 
ruled with mixed success, bringing a much desired semblance of peace but also a 
harsh brand of Islam. 

Two weeks ago, that all changed after Ethiopian-led troops routed the Islamist 
forces and helped bring the Western-backed transitional government to 
Mogadishu. Ethiopian officials said the Islamists were a growing regional 
threat. 

The last remnants of the Islamist forces fled to Ras Kamboni, an isolated

I am sorry Raja if the truth have that effect on you. I am not responsible for 
the consequences. But regarding Michel Aflak not only I feel that way but also 
Dr. Bashir. He wrote: 

Saddam was a Hypocrite and since one Hypocrite understands another Hypcrite, 
the devil plays their advocate. Saddam was a fool, ...because he was 
manipulated by Russians as well as Americans. His Baath Party was founded by a 
Christian, Michael Aflak, thus manipulated by the Christian-Zionists 
(Brits/Russkies/ Yankees). 

Michael Aflak did the same kind of work to many Arabs as Kamal Attaturk, the 
Jew, did to Turkey. Kamal Attaturk was successful at bringing Turkey to 
secularism and away from Islam. As such, the Turkish government became an ally 
to enemies of Muslims like the Israelis. 

Michel Aflak was able to get nuts like Saddam Hussein to see Arab nationalism 
as god in disobedience to Islam and universal concepts. In a sense he did the 
same as Kamal Attaturk in moving Arabs away from Islam to worship Arab 
nationalism. Aflak has gotten Arabs to believe that Islam is not a divine 
revelation from Allah but a product of the genious of the Arab mind. This is 
shirk and considered one of the worst sins in Islam. 

Let me show you an example from the life of Saddam how Ba'athism was in direct 
opposition to Islam: 

The following is from my dear brother on this forum Mauri Salaakhan. Regarding 
disputes amongst Muslims, the Qur'an states the following regarding how they 
should be handled: 

  Quote:   
-
  If two parties among the believers fall into a quarrel, make peace between 
them. But if one transgresses beyond the limits against the other, then all of 
you fight against the one that transgresses until they comply with the command 
of Allah. If they comply, make peace between them with justice, and be fair; 
for Allah loves those who are fair and just.   
-
  

The aforementioned verse (ayah) from the Qur'anic chapter (surah) known as 
Al-Hujurat (The Inner Apartments, 49:9), provides the remedy that all committed 
Muslims should employ whenever a quarrel or fight breaks out within their 
ranks. The historical record will show that Saddam Hussein, like so many other 
marginally Muslim leaders in the Muslim world, chose a more secular and 
nationalistic response. In the words of [former] Iraqi Foreign Minister Saadoun 
Hammadi: 

  Quote:   
-
  At the outset of the war, the Kuwaiti head of state contacted our president 
and suggested that he and the president of Algeria should come to Baghdad and 
Tehran to mediate. Our government told them at that time, You are welcome as 
brothers, but we don't like an Arab state to mediate. This is an Arab-Iranian 
conflict; and in such a conflict any Arab must decide either to side with his 
Arab brother or to stay away... (Source: Riding the Spears, by M. Tariq 
Quraishi, pg. 174)   
-
  

Unfortunately, the Arab states those considering themselves Muslim Republics as 
well as the openly secular regimes fell right in line and supported Iraq's 
aggression against the first truly non-aligned state of the 20th century; Iran. 
This served the enemies of Islam well to see two Muslim nations at war with 
each other and it was very costly (in terms of lives lost and material 
destruction). The eight year war started by Iraq following Ba'athist policies 
and ignoring the Qur'an was very disastrous to the Muslim world and it also 
severely weakened Iraq -- who was the aggressor -- to the point of making them 
easy prey to American and Israeli exploits. So in this sense Saddam's Ba'athist 
arrogance brought about a weakening and downfall of his own country. 

Michel Aflak was successful and is continuing to be successful in dividing the 
Muslim world along secular, nationalistic lines. What is worst is that he has 
managed to make Arab nationalism the ultimate god to many Arabs to the point 
where they ignore Islam completely and see Islam as irrelevant. With Ba'athist 
ideologies it becomes very easy for the enemies of humanity to use divide and 
conquer to weaken all Arabs and Muslims. Saddam in his response above did not 
care about right and wrong, the unity that should be amongst all Muslims as 
taught in Islam nor did he want to follow the Islamic dictate for mediating 
conflicts amongst Muslims. Arab nationalism was his god and he felt that no 
mediation should be done between him and a non-Arab

  Editorial Note

The following text by Colonel Sam Gardiner (USAF, Retired) confirms our worst 
fears. The US is in an advanced state of readiness to wage war on Iran.

To reverse the tide requires a massive campaign of networking and outreach to 
inform people across the land, nationally and internationally, in 
neighborhoods, workplaces, parishes, schools, universities, municipalities, on 
the dangers of a US sponsored war, which contemplates the use of nuclear 
weapons. The message should be loud and clear:  It is not Iran which is a 
threat to global security but the United States of America and Israel.  Even 
without the use of nukes, the proposed aerial bombardments could result in 
escalation, ultimately leading us into a broader war in the Middle East. 
Debate and discussion must also take place within the Military and Intelligence 
community, particularly with regard to the use of tactical nuclear weapons, 
within the corridors of the US Congress, in municipalities and at all levels of 
government. Ultimately, the legitimacy of the political and military actors in 
high office must be challenged. 
  The corporate media also bears a heavy responsibility for the cover-up of US 
sponsored war crimes. It must also be forcefully challenged for its biased 
coverage of the Middle East war.  
  What is needed is to break the conspiracy of silence, expose the media lies 
and distortions, confront the criminal nature of the US Administration and of 
those governments which support it, its war agenda as well as its so-called 
Homeland Security agenda which has already defined the contours of a police 
State. 
  The World is at the crossroads of the most serious crisis in modern history. 
The US  has embarked on a military adventure, a long war, which threatens the 
future of humanity.  It is essential to bring the US war project to the 
forefront of political debate, particularly in North America and Western 
Europe. Political and military leaders who are opposed to the war must take a 
firm stance, from within their respective institutions. Citizens must take a 
stance individually and collectively against war.

I do not accept the notion that the first casualty of war is truth. (Col. Sam 
Gardiner) 


The pieces are moving.  Theyll be in place by the end of February.  The United 
States will be able to escalate military operations against Iran.

 The second carrier strike group leaves the U.S. west coast on Tuesday.  It 
will be joined by naval mine clearing assets from both the United States and 
the UK.  Patriot missile defense systems have also been ordered to deploy to 
the Gulf.

 Maybe as a guard against North Korea seeing operations focused on Iran as 
a chance to be aggressive, a squadron of F-117 stealth fighters has just been 
deployed to Korea.

 This has to be called escalation.  We have to remind ourselves, just as 
Iran is supporting groups inside Iraq, the United States is supporting groups 
inside Iran.  Just as Iran has special operations troops operating inside Iraq, 
weve read the United States has special operations troops operating inside 
Iran.

 Just as Iran is supporting Hamas, two weeks ago we found out the United 
States is supporting arms for Abbas.  Just as Iran and Syria are supporting 
Hezbollah in Lebanon were now learning the White House has approved a finding 
to allow the CIA to support opposition groups inside Lebanon.  Just as Iran is 
supporting Syria, weve learned recently that the United States is going to 
fund Syrian opposition groups.

 We learned this week the President authorized an attack on the Iranian 
liaison office in Irbil. 

 The White House keeps saying there are no plans to attack Iran.  
Obviously, the facts suggest otherwise.  Equally as clear, the Iranians will 
read what the Administrations is doing not what it is saying.

 It is possible the White House strategy is just implementing a strategy to 
put pressure on Iran on a number of fronts, and this will never amount to 
anything.  On the other hand, if the White House is on a path to strike Iran, 
well see a few more steps unfold.

 First, we know there is a National Security Council staff-led group whose 
mission is to create outrage in the world against Iran.  Just like before Gulf 
II, this media group will begin to release stories to sell a strike against 
Iran.  Watch for the outrage stuff.

 The Patriot missiles going to the GCC states are only part of the missile 
defense assets.  I would expect to see the deployment of some of the 
European-based missile defense assets to Israel, just as they were

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Spanish Mayor Commemorates 'Palestinian Genocide' On Holocaust Memorial Day!

2007-01-29 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

New York, NY, January 26, 2007 -- The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) strongly 
condemned the decision of the Mayor of a Spanish city to hold a commemoration 
of the Palestinian genocide on the day of Spain's official Holocaust memorial 
ceremonies, and called it shameful. ... Applying the term 'genocide' to the 
Arab-Israeli conflict encourages hatred toward the State of Israel and 
deliberately insults those of us, both Jews and non-Jews, who seek to solemnly 
commemorate the victims of the Nazi campaign of slaughter. MORE 

This is another example of how Jews desecrate the graves of innocent non-Jews, 
this time the graves of the Palestinians that Israelis killed on land taken by 
force. 

With its perpetual advocacy for the state of Israel the Jewish ADL is not only 
conspiring in the genocide, but is doing so using donated tax exempt US 
dollars, implicating the US and inciting Moslem hatred of Americans. That is 
treason against the US for which the conspirators must be prosecuted and 
punished to the full letter of law.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt , Jordan , Kuwait , Bahrain , Qatar , Oman and the

  All humanity is from Adam and Eve. There is no superiority for an Arab over

  Saudi Arabia, Egypt , Jordan , Kuwait , Bahrain , Qatar , Oman and the 
Emirates have all signed up to the Bush administrations escalation of its 
aggression against Iraq and its plans for a military attack on Iran .
   
  A tour of the Middle East by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice 
culminated on January 16 in a meeting at the Bayan Palace of the emir of Kuwait 
and the signing of a joint communiqué by the foreign ministers of the 
six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), plus Egypt and Jordan.
   
  The foreign ministers endorsed President Bushs dispatch of 21,000 more 
troops to Iraq , portraying this as a means of preventing a further descent 
into civil war. And they joined Rice in welcoming a US commitment to defend 
the territorial integrity of Iraq and to ensure a successful, fair and 
inclusive political process that engages all Iraqi communities and guarantees 
the stability of the country.
   
  Nine foreign ministers [including Rice] are meeting in Kuwait precisely to 
prevent Iraq from sliding into a civil war. And that speaks volumes, Kuwaiti 
Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad al-Salem al-Sabah said. We expressed our 
desire to see the presidents plan to reinforce American military presence in 
Baghdad as a vehicle...to stabilise Baghdad and prevent Iraq sliding into this 
ugly war, this civil war.
   
  Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said, We agree with the full 
objectives set out by the new plan, the strategy If it were applied, it 
will solve the problems facing Iraq .
   
  Egypts Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Ghewas was even more obsequious, telling 
reporters in Cairo on Wednesday, Bushs strategy is not merely a military 
action or operation or a unilateral military programme. It represents a vision 
with different political, military and economic aspects.
   
  Endorsing Bushs plans in fact paves the way for the bloody suppression of 
the Iraqi people and a worsening of sectarian conflict. The US intends to first 
crack down on Sunni insurgents in Baghdad , but is also demanding that the 
Iraqi regime of Nouri al-Maliki mount an offensive against Shia militias, 
particularly the Mahdi army of Moqtada al-Sadr. Maliki has already announced 
the beginning of such a crackdown and 400 arrests.
   
  But the US military surge will not stop with Iraq . Iran is firmly in 
Washington s sights and is accused of being the primary instigator of the Shia 
insurgency. In his speech announcing the troop escalation, endorsed by the Arab 
states, Bush threatened that the US would interrupt the flow of support from 
Iran and Syria  and to seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced 
weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq .
   
  The official communiqué did not mention Iran explicitly, but declared that 
Relations among all countries should be based on mutual respect for the 
sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states and on the principle of 
no-interference in the internal affairs of other nations. Sweeping aside the 
oblique political formula of the Arab states, a spokesman for Rice declared 
afterwards that this meant Iran .
   
  Every day that has passed since Bushs speech outlining a fresh surge has 
seen fresh political and military threats directed against Tehran . US Vice 
President Dick Cheney has said that Iran constitutes a growing, 
multidimensional threat to the entire region.
   
  As Rice was shuttling between Middle East capitals, a second US aircraft 
carrier was despatched to the Gulf for the first time since the start of

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Hamas slams US aid to Abbas!

Divide and conquer is all they are about. It is ashame to see how blatantly 
obvious the U.S. is about it. All in service to their Jewish masters... What is 
even worse are the foolish Palestinians who allow themselves to be used that 
way.

  From correspondents in Gaza City 

February 01, 2007 04:42am 
Article from: Agence France-Presse 


HAMAS overnight slammed a multi-million dollar US aid package to bolster 
security forces loyal to its rival Fatah, as the two Palestinian factions 
consolidated a two-day-old truce by releasing hostages. 

There is no doubt that this is part of American policy aimed at provoking an 
escalation and a civil war in the service of a Zionist plan, said Ismail 
Radwan, a spokesman for Islamist movement Hamas, which heads the government. 

Each time the American administration sees that we have arrived, or are on the 
verge of arriving, at an agreement, it sends (US Secretary of State) 
Condoleezza Rice to poison the atmosphere or announces financial aid (to 
president Mahmud Abbas) to maintain tensions among Palestinians, he said. 

US President George W. Bush has ordered the transfer of about $US86 million 
($111.58 million) in aid to strengthen security forces loyal to the moderate 
president and Fatah party leader, the White House announced yesterday. 

The aid was declared as a truce between Fatah and Hamas took effect in Gaza 
following the deadliest bout of inter-Palestinian violence in a year and a day 
after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed three people in southern Israel. 

The truce was largely holding for a second day today, as the groups swapped 
hostages. Medics, however, said unknown gunmen shot and wounded a presidential 
guard officer, one day after a Hamas militant was killed. 

Last night, we started to implement the agreement between Fatah and Hamas and 
the hostages on both sides have been exchanged, said Mr Radwan. 

Dozens of hostages have been released on both sides, said the Fatah spokesman 
in the Gaza Strip, Tawfiq Abu Khussa. 

But while the Fatah spokesman said the general atmosphere had improved, he 
complained that an executive force controlled by Hamas was causing tensions 
and not helping the restoration of confidence between the groups. 

The ceasefire was brokered amid increasing international pressure on the 
factions to resolve their differences and negotiate a power-sharing agreement 
after months of broken talks and collapsed ceasefires. 

The US aid is part of a broader US push to revive peace negotiations between Mr 
Abbas and Israel, with the four Middle East peace sponsors - the European 
Union, Russia, United Nations and United States - to meet in Washington on 
Friday (Saturday AEDT). 

US officials said the aid, which includes training, vehicles and uniforms, 
would theoretically help Mr Abbas counter militant attacks against Israel such 
as Tuesday's suicide bombing in the popular Red Sea resort of Eilat. 

The idea is to build the legitimate security forces, to help provide law and 
order in Gaza and the West Bank, fight terrorism and to facilitate movement and 
access, said national security spokesman Gordon Johndroe. 

The European Union and United States cut off aid to the Palestinians after 
Hamas routed long-dominant Fatah in polls last January, dominating parliament 
and forming a government, consigning Fatah's hold on power to the presidency. 

Fatah and Hamas, which have very different political outlooks, have tried for 
months to form a national unity government in the hope of resuming Western aid 
payments and reversing an unprecedented economic crisis. 

Hamas has steadfastly refused to accept Western conditions to renounce 
violence, recognise Israel or abide by past peace deals. 

The political showdown turned violent after Abbas announced in December that he 
would call new elections in the hope of wresting control from Hamas. 

Thirty-five people have been killed and around 100 wounded in the latest bout 
of internecine violence.

Iran The Next Iraq - 12 Questions and Answers!
I am an American citizen. As such I love my country. If 
another country were to unjustly attack the US the way the US attacked Iraq and 
Afghanistan, I would be in the front lines defending my country and will 
willingly give my life in that effort. To me that is part of my responsibility 
as a citizen of the US. But if my government wants to wage an unjust war 
against other countries like it has done in Iraq and Afghanistan, I will never 
support it. I will never support the next planned war against Iran. In fact I 
will work strongly against it. I love my country but Gd and righteous 
principles take a higher position for me. I wont support my country in 
anything that goes against Gd and righteousness. 

Now that Bush is re-elected the plans that were in place to invade Iran are in 
full force. There have been several articles in major newspapers, magazines and 
television and radio news demonizing Iran and setting that country up as the 
next target. In fact you will see an increase in the demonizing as time passes. 
The Iranian President is in the spotlight and he being portrayed as an 
intolerant anti-Semite who wants to see Israel wiped off the planet. But before 
you believe all that, here are 12 questions with answers about Iran that every 
American should know. 




Quote:
  
-
1. Do you believe that the great Iranian people willingly accepted Islam or 
that this was a consequence of losing the war to Arabs roughly 1300 years ago? 
I have come to terms with this knowing that since then Iranians have steered 
much of the achievements of the Islamic era and that they helped nurture 
another doctrine within Islam: Shiism. 
  
-


First I will address the Zionist lie about Islam being spread by the sword and 
then I will be specific about Iran. 

This myth, which was made popular in Europe during the Crusades, is totally 
baseless. First of all, the Quran clearly says, Let there be no compulsion in 
religion. Muslims are strictly forbidden by the Quran and the example of our 
Prophet (saaw) to force our religion on others. 

I could cite many credible Western historians and thinkers like Arnold Tonybee, 
Bertrand Russell, George Bernard Shaw and even Eastern thinkers like Mahatma 
Ghandi who have made strong statements dispelling the lies about Islam being 
spread by the sword. But I will show what De Lacy O'Leary has to say on the 
subject of the sword of Islam. 


History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping 
through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered 
races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever 
repeated (Islam at the Crossroads, London, 1923 p. 8 ) . 


Now specifically about the spread of Islam in Iran: In 637 CE, the Arab forces 
occupied the Sassanid capital of Ctesiphon (Madain). This was a result of the 
Arabs winning the Qadisiyah wars. The Islamic conquest was aided by the 
material and social bankruptcy of the Sassanids; the native populations 
actually cooperated with the conquering power. 

Although winning this initial war against the Persians, the Muslims offered 
relative religious tolerance and fair treatment to populations that accepted 
Islamic rule without resistance. Conversion to Islam, which offered certain 
advantages, was fairly rapid among the urban population but slower among the 
peasantry in the rural areas. The majority of Persians did not become Muslim 
until the ninth century. The Persians were so enthusiastic about Islam that 
they became the leading torch bearers of the religion and experienced a 400 
year Golden Age after their embracing of Islam. 

Compare this to the Soviet Union which ruled the many states by communism. But 
as soon as communist rule was abandoned, the people went back identifying with 
their religious beliefs prior to communism. Chechnya and others are examples. 
But the Persians whole heartedly embraced Islam and led the Muslim world even 
adopting the Arabic alphabet over theirs. While free, they willingly chose and 
accepted Islam.

2. Do you believe Shiism is a legitimate Islamic doctrine or that the 
beliefs and practices of the Shiites (e.g., near deification of imams etc) 
constitutes heresy as far as the rest of the Moslems are concerned? 
  
-



My friend I leave those matters for Gd to decide. When I see Shia or Sunni 
behaving as the Quran says a MUSLIM should behave, then in my eyes they are 
Muslims. What may surprise you too is that when I see Christians, Jews, or ANY 
human being striving to submit their will to do Gds Will, in my book their 
actions fit the description of Muslims. Not a Muslim gang or club BUT Muslim in

  Why is the US press silent on Brzezinskis warnings of war against Iran?
  
By Barry Grey in Washington DC
Feb 3, 2007, 04:52


   

  The major national newspapers and most broadcast outlets failed even to 
report Thursdays stunning testimony by former national security adviser 
Zbigniew Brzezinski before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
   
  Brzezinski, national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter, is among the 
most prominent figures within the US foreign policy establishment. He delivered 
a scathing critique of the war in Iraq and warned that the policy of the Bush 
administration was leading inevitably to a military confrontation with Iran 
which would have disastrous consequences for US imperialism.
   
  Most significant and disturbing was Brzezinskis suggestion that the Bush 
administration might manufacture a pretext to justify a military attack on 
Iran. Presenting what he called a plausible scenario for a military collision 
with Iraq, Brzezinski laid out the following series of events: Iraqi failure 
to meet the benchmarks, followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for 
the failure, then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the US 
blamed on Iran, culminating in, quote/unquote, defensive US military action 
against Iran... [Emphasis added].
   
  Thus Brzezinski opined that a US military attack on Iran would be an 
aggressive action, presented as though it were a defensive response to alleged 
Iranian provocations, and came close to suggesting, without explicitly stating 
as much, that the White House was capable of manufacturing or allowing a 
terrorist attack within the US to provide a casus belli for war.
   
  It is self-evident that such testimony at an open congressional hearing from 
someone with decades of experience in the US foreign policy establishment and 
the closest ties to the military and intelligence apparatus is not only 
newsworthy, but of the most immense and grave import. Any objective and 
conscientious newspaper or news channel would consider it an obligation to 
inform the public of such a development.
   
  Yet neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post carried so much as a 
news brief on Brzezinskis testimony in their Friday editions. Nor did USA 
Today or the Wall Street Journal. All of these publications, of course, have 
well-staffed Washington bureaus and regularly cover congressional 
hearingsespecially those dealing with such burning political questions as the 
war in Iraq.
   
  There is no innocent explanation for their decision to suppress this story. 
  The Washington Post on Thursday published a large page-two column and photo 
on Henry Kissingers appearance the previous day before the same Senate 
committee. The former secretary of state under Richard Nixon gave testimony 
that was generally supportive of the Bush administrations war policy.
   
  Moreover, the Posts web edition carried an Associated Press report on 
Brzezinskis appearance. That article introduced subtle but significant changes 
to Brzezinskis speculative scenario of the road to war with Iran which had the 
effect of underplaying the sharpness and urgency of Brzezinskis critique of 
the Bush administration. It omitted the suggestion that a terrorist attack 
within the US could become the justification for war, and it removed the 
quotation marks from Brzezinskis talk of a defensive war against Iran.
   
  The World Socialist Web Site on Friday telephoned the New York Times, the 
Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today to ask for an 
explanation for their failure to report Brzezinskis testimony. None of the 
newspapers returned our calls.
   
  As for the television news outlets, the News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS 
showed a clip of Brzezinski laying out his war scenario before the Senate 
committee, without making any comment. NBC Nightly News ignored the story 
entirely.
   
  The suppression of this damning critique of the Iraq war, the conspiratorial 
methods of the Bush administration, and its drive to an even wider war in the 
Middle East is one more demonstration of the corrupt and reactionary character 
of the American mass media. It indicates that the establishment media is 
preparing once again, as in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, to serve as a 
sounding board for the administrations war propaganda and lies.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Powell, Rice and Obama, Putting Black Faces on Imperial Agression!

2007-02-20 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

The Black Israelis each pushing their Massa's agenda. Too eager to please 
Massa Sharon and their other Jewish bosses. Can't wait to bomb Iran to prove to 
their Massa how loyal they are and happy to spread death and misery to those 
backward Moslems! They have sold themselves very cheaply back into slavery 
enthralled by their Jewish Massas.

   
  Powell, Rice and Obama, Putting Black Faces on Imperial Agression
   
  http://www.counterpunch.org/ford02162007.html
   
  Barack Obama is our son and he deserves our support, declared Illinois 
Senate President Emil Jones Jr., speaking to a gathering of Black Democrats at 
the party's winter meeting, in Washington, earlier this month. By Jones' logic, 
Condoleezza Rice deserves automatic African American support as our daughter, 
and Colin Powell, her predecessor as George Bush's Secretary of State, was due 
fealty as our brother. 

Jones' embrace of the entire African American family tree must also, therefore, 
extend to U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, the most 
reactionary, anti-Black member of the High Court; and to our brother J. 
Kenneth Blackwell, the former Ohio Secretary of State whose consuming mission 
in 2004 was to deny the franchise to as many fellow Blacks as possible. 

Although the winter meetings are traditionally showcases for candidates to 
display their positions on the issues of the day, State Sen. Jones saw no need 
to present his appeal on Obama's behalf in any packaging other than race. In 
effect, Jones attempted to relieve Obama of any political obligation to Black 
people. Under Jones' formula, the relationship between the Black office-seeker 
and the African American public is reversed: it is the people that owe 
allegiance to the candidate, who is in turn set free to woo groups and promote 
interests that may be inimical to those of the Black public. 

Jones and the larger political current he represents would utterly gut Black 
politics of all substance, rendering the entire electoral process worthless to 
the Black masses. Perhaps the greatest irony of Jones' issue-less directive is 
that it masquerades as a Black empowerment strategy. In a transparent bid to 
shame Blacks in the Hillary Clinton camp - another political desert - Jones 
said African Americans don't owe anyone. Jones elaborated later, in a 
conversation with a Chicago Sun-Times reporter. How long do we have to owe 
before we have an opportunity to support our son? he said. 

In other words, Black people's debt to the Clintons - as if such ever existed 
- has been paid, and now it's time to herd Black voters behind Obama, like so 
many cattle. Jones' brand of politics holds that Black people don't have 
interests or political ideals, only obligations to one politician or the other. 
In Jones' world, African Americans are constantly indebted, but nobody owes 
them anything - certainly not Obama, our son. 

The Emil Jones brand of Black politics is based on the assumption that African 
American aspirations are limited to a simple desire to see Black faces on 
display in high places, no matter the public policy content of that 
representation. It is as if emancipation of the slaves could be achieved by 
moving Ol' Massa out of the Big House, and installing the Black butler in his 
place, while the conditions of life and labor in the fields remain unchanged. 
After all, the butler is one of ours. The slaves should be happy to 
experience a vicarious freedom, through their son. Further, it would be 
downright unfamily-like to pester our own kin about the need for forty acres 
and a mule per household. 

Jones' remarks exemplify an extraordinary vulgarization of African American 
politics, the product of uncritical, Jim Crow-era reflexes that linger within 
the Black polity, combined with the growing influence of corporate money in the 
Black leadership-creation process. The advent of Barack Obama's stealth 
corporate presidential candidacy could create the conditions for a perfect 
storm that sweeps away what remains of issues-based coherence in Black 
electoral and institutional politics. Should that occur - and there is much 
evidence that the unraveling is already well advanced - the collapse of 
progressive American politics becomes inevitable, a high price to pay for a 
Black face in the Oval Office. 


Imperial Obama 

African Americans will pay a special, historical price if a corporate-molded 
Black politician becomes the titular leader of an unreconstructed U.S. imperial 
state - and, make no mistake about it, Barack Obama is an imperialist. No one 
but a deep-fried imperialist could describe U.S. behavior in Iraq as coddling 
the Iraqis, as Obama said to an establishment foreign policy gathering in 
Chicago, late last year. His Iraq War De-escalation Act, carefully calibrated 
to make him appear slightly less belligerent than Hillary Clinton, allows the 
U.S. to wage war until March 31, 2008, at the very least, and to maintain a

A Question About Suicide In Islam 

  Quote:   
-
  
Would appreciate your take on the following: 

I have a trusted friend who is less favorably disposed toward Islam/Muslims 
than I, but he also does not have a good opinion of Israel. 

He has had occasion to interview a number of teenaged American Muslims, the 
vast majority of whom say they would willingly become suicide bombers in 
Israel, but nowhere else. When he presses them (suggesting optional targets) 
they say they would first choose Israeli military or government targets, but if 
those were not accessible, would target civilians. 

Granted, these are teenagers, but...?   
-
  


LSJohnthanks for bringing the question to our attention and seeking answers 
from Muslims. This is a lot better attitude to take than the know-it-alls who 
seem to know Muslims and their religion better than Muslims themselves. I wish 
the world would follow your example. 

Most American Muslim teenagers that I know are not really knowledgeable about 
the Palestinian Israeli situation. This is especially true in the US with some 
of them, just by lazy osmosis, having bought into the media spin hook, line and 
sinker. I am not accusing your friend of lying but I find the responses he 
claimed to have gotten very difficult to believe. 

The response is flawed from a Muslim perspective and is very far from Muslim 
thinking. The numerous statements in the Quran against injustice and the 
example of the Prophet on numerous occasions where he admonished his followers 
about taking the lives of innocents and even destroying heedlessly plants and 
animals are too prevalent in Muslim learning for the idea of killing civilians 
to be even casually accepted. An example of how the Prophet (saaw) dealt with 
his enemies can shed light on the correct Muslim attitude. There was an 
incident during one of the battles where children of the enemy were killed by 
mistake. The Prophet (saaw) was observed with tears in his eyes, in pain 
because of the killing of innocent children, and also for the death of all the 
combatants. Some of his followers tried to sooth the Prophet by saying, They 
were only the children of Kafirs The Prophet (saaw) turned to the one who 
spoke, and he was visibly angry, and said,  Aren't you the child of
 a Kafir too? 

For suicide to even be considered against military or even civilian positions 
as a way of fighting from American Muslim teenagers is really a stretch. 
Without going into too many details the prohibition in Islam against suicide is 
very strong. But to read and listen to this worlds media broadcast about 
Islam, we would never know that. We are led to believe that a religion, whose 
holy book, the Quran, commands the following regarding suicide, is the fertile 
ground for the most suicides in the world: 
  Quote:   
-
  
But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill 
(or destroy) yourselves: for verily God hath been to you Most Merciful! 

If any do that in rancour and injustice,- soon shall We cast them into the 
Fire: And easy it is for God. 

Quran 4:29 - 4:30   
-
  



The references above in chapter 4 and other places in the Quran, commands 
Muslims to not kill themselves and warns of severe punishments. Suicide is 
strictly forbidden along with the killing of innocents in Islam. G-d is the 
author of life and it is only He who could take life or tell human beings what 
conditions a life should be taken under as in punishment for murder, etc. As 
human beings we don't own our lives, G-d does! As such we don't have the 
authority to take it. Suicide is disrespecting G-d and being ungrateful for the 
life he has given us. Also from the Hadiths: 

  Quote:   
-
  The Prophet said, The ink of the scholar is holier than the blood of the 
martyr.   
-
  


If knowledge shared by a scholar is considered greater and closer to G-d than a 
person dying in war for a just cause, how much further down the scale in value 
is suicide in Islam, especially when it is condemned by the highest authority 
in our religion? If suicide was permitted there would be many examples of the 
Prophet (saaw) encouraging it and Muslim history would have been replenished 
with suicide as a technique in war. But there is no such history and no such 
encouragement even throughout the centuries in the Abyssinian Empire, Ottoman 
Empire, Muslim Spain, Persia, the well documented Crusades, etc. 

It seems that while strongly condemning suicide, somehow Islam is the best 
promoter of it. All of a sudden we have disobedient Muslims hatching like crazy 
all over Iraq and Palestine. Oddly, they did not become so disobedient until 
they came in contact with Israelis. I guess there must have been something 
about Jews that caused Muslims to employ

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Rice�s Middle East visit: Bullying and intimidation dressed up as diplomacy!

2007-02-25 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

When will the Palestinians learn that the US is not a sincere broker and that 
any negotiations done with them will be one sided in favor of everything Israel 
wants?

  Rices Middle East visit: Bullying and intimidation dressed up as diplomacy  
By Jean Shaoul
22 February 2007  US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rices much trumpeted 
meeting on Monday, February 19 with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and 
Mahmoud Abbas was a calculated public humiliation of the Palestinian president.
  
  Far from being a new diplomatic initiative designed to bring about a just 
resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Rice used the occasion to 
dictate Washington and Jerusalems terms for any future Palestinian government.
  
  Following separate talks with Olmert and Abbas, the three met, without aides 
other than Rices Arabic translator, in a West Jerusalem hotel before 
adjourning to Rices suite.
  
  Rice told the Palestinians in no uncertain terms that Abbass proposals for a 
new Palestinian government did not meet with her approval, the concessions 
offered by Hamas were totally inadequate and until the Hamas government 
completely renounced its programme, no Palestinian state was on offer. She made 
clear that the only terms acceptable to the Bush administration were the total 
suppression of all opposition to Israels plans for a Greater Israel, based on 
the permanent retention of its settlements in the West Bank.
  
  The talks lasted a mere two hours and ended with a terse 90-second statement 
from Rice. Abbas confirmed his position as a US puppet by dutifully lining up 
alongside Olmert to endorse her remarks.
  
  Rice said that the three had discussed the changed political circumstances 
arising from the proposal for a Hamas-Fatah government; the meeting had been 
useful and productive, and she would be back in Jerusalem soon. She left 
without taking any questions from reporters and there were no announcements 
from either the Israeli or Palestinian leaders.
  
  A Hamas spokesman set the record straight. Ismail Radwan said the meeting was 
a failure and that its purpose was to put pressure on Abbas to pull out of the 
proposed National Unity government and take on Hamas. Rice did not succeed in 
pressuring President Abbas to withdraw from the unity government. We call on 
the US administration to respect the Palestinian peoples will and recognise 
the [Hamas-led] government and open a dialogue, he said.
  
  The meeting took place against the backdrop of an agreement brokered by Saudi 
King Abdullah in Mecca between Hamas, led by Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, and 
Fatah led by President Mahmoud Abbas, that were on the point of outright civil 
war, to form a National Unity government.
  
  The electoral victory of Hamas in January 2006 had led, on the insistence of 
the US and Israel, to an economic boycott and isolation of the Palestinian 
Authority (PA). The Quartet, the US, European Union, Russia and the United 
Nations, cut off all direct aid to the PA, bringing the Palestinian economy to 
a halt and its people to the brink of starvation, while Israel illegally 
withheld the tax and customs it collects on behalf of the PA.
  
  Israels demands on Abbas to suppress all Palestinian resistance to its 
illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories and its all-out war on Gaza 
last summer only served to increase the tensions between the rival parties.
  
  The Mecca agreement, which Abbas announced on February 9 after two days of 
talks, was widely welcomed within Palestine. It follows his failed attempt to 
mount a political coup at Washingtons behest last December, when he said he 
would dissolve the Hamas government and call new presidential and parliamentary 
elections. That unconstitutional move threatened a civil war and was unlikely 
to lead to an election victory for Fatah.
  
  While this latest arrangement is a reflection of Abbass unwillingness to 
take on Hamas with either guns or at the polls, it achieves the same ends: the 
unseating of an elected government. The Hamas government has now resigned and 
Haniyeh has five weeks to form a new National Unity government, which he will 
head, as set out under the agreement.
   
  The aim is to end the factional fighting between the two parties, terminate 
any militant resistance to Israel and secure the international recognition that 
will restore economic aid to the PA. The Saudi Kingdom has pledged $1 billion 
to counter Iranian and Shiite influence and restore its own position in the 
region.
  
  Hamas will cede six cabinet posts to Fatah and four to so-called 
independents, including the most powerful portfolios and the only ones with any 
real power: interior, finance and foreign relations.
  
  It made major concessions to Fatah and Israels key demands: the acceptance 
of Israels right to exist, the renunciation of violence, the acceptance of

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] If the Cluster Bombs Don't Nail Them ...

  If the Cluster Bombs Don't Nail Them ...

Come to think of it, wasn't it just a matter of time before the Bush 
administration would get around to declaring the Lebanese registered 
construction company, Jihad al-Bina, yet another terrorist organization? It 
finally did put Jihad al-Bina on the list this week. 

Still smarting from Israel's defeat in the July war, the White House and the 
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as well as their friends in 
the US Congress have been busy tightening the screws on Iran and the Lebanese 
Resistance. The Lebanese Resistance is led by Hezbollah which Iran, along with 
virtually the whole of the Middle East, admires for its military achievements 
in defending Lebanon against Israel, and perhaps equally, for its social, 
educational, health, housing and infrastructure achievements. 

This latter fact alone is a big problem for AIPAC. With an annual budget of $55 
million dollars, a paid membership of more than 125,000 and a full time paid 
staff of 122, with 12 satellite offices around the US, AIPAC is not happy these 
days. It is not enough for AIPAC that the recent Congressional elections, which 
increased the number of Zionist Jews in Congress from 26 to 31, is the largest 
pro-Israel contingent elected to Congress in American history. No, AIPAC is not 
satisfied. 

Nor is AIPAC comforted by the fact that 7 of the 11 key subcommittees in 
Congress, on just the House side, dealing with the Middle East, Intelligence 
and Appropriations are now securely under Israel's control. 

AIPAC wants more. Having failed in its recent 'hot' war in Lebanon, Israel has 
unleashed its agents in Congress to destroy Hezbollah with 'cold' war tactics 
including attacking its social institutions. 

The US Israel lobby has been after Jihad al-Bina for years but the organization 
became a prime target following the August 14, ceasefire. A quick glance at 
Jihad al-Binna makes clear why it was slated for the ever expanding Bush 
administration terrorism list. 

* Established by Hezbollah, and licensed by the Lebanese government in 1988 
Jihad al-Bina quickly evolved into one of the most effective and prominent 
nongovernmental organizations of Lebanon's civil society. 

* Its primary objective is to alleviate the hardships that the disadvantaged 
population and deprived families face. 

* Between 1988-2002 Jihad al-Bina completed nearly 11,000 projects involving 
the construction and rehabilitation of schools, homes, shops, hospitals 
infirmaries, Mosques, Churches, Cultural Centers and Agricultural Cooperatives. 
According to the annual report of the United Nations Economic and Social 
Commission for Western Asia, Jihad al-Bina is by far one of the best-equipped 
organizations engaged in reconstruction. 

* In addition, Jihad al-Bina has been the major source of the provision of 
potable water and electricity in areas bombed by Israel. 

* In the last 14 years it has built 400 reservoirs of potable water for 900,000 
Lebanese citizens of Beirut's southern suburbs, satisfying nearly 50% of the 
areas needs. It has also dug more than 75 artesian wells, divided evenly 
between the Bekaa Valley, South Lebanon and Beirut. 

* Jihad al-Bina's electricity department has manufactured and installed more 
than 20 large power generators n South Lebanon and the Bekaa. 

* Its achievements in agricultural and rural development are as impressive as 
in the field of engineering. It provides technical assistance to farmers in 
land reclamation and cultivation, opening agricultural roads and building 
irrigation networks. 

* Jihad Al-Bina also helps farmers with credit to improve their farms. 

* Since the August 14 ceasefire, Jihad al-Bina has already cleared much of the 
rubble caused by Israel's bombing and is well into a major rebuilding of 
private homes in the Bekaa, Beirut and South Lebanon, where thousands of 
structures are being rebuilt. 

Many American news reports have commented on the efficiency with which the 
Lebanese reconstruction began and refugees were resettled, in contrast to the 
continuing debacle in post-Katrina New Orleans. In Congress jokes were heard to 
the effect that the Bush Administration should immediately contract with Hassan 
Nasrallah to provide for Hezbollah to come over to the US and rebuild New 
Orleans. AIPAC and the White House were not amused. 

Nor was US Ambassador to Lebanon Jeffrey Feltman, a fan of Jihad al-Bina or 
Hassan Nassrallah. 

Feltman's colleague, Stuart Levey, the US undersecretary for terrorism and 
financial intelligence, in the Treasury Department, said in a statement on 
February 20, 2006 that Hezbollah uses the firm for its own needs as well as to 
attract popular support through the provision of civilian construction 
services. Without question, an 'A class' terrorism offense. 

A blatant crime, according to Levey and the Bush administration, perpetrated by 
Jihad al-Bina against the thousands of Lebanese

  The Bush Administration says yes, citing a grainy, badly-edited videotape 
that surfaced in December, 2001. In that tape, a fat guy who vaguely resembles 
Bin Laden chortles about the success of the 9/11 attacks. (In earlier

the loss of civilian life in the attacks and calling them un-Islamic.)  
   
  Is the famous confession video genuine? Despite Bush's insistence that the

Lawrence, head of Duke University's Religious Studies program.

offered his historic debunking of the administration' s lie in an interview

  Up to - 20,000 trafficked women in Israel 

and more than 280 brothels in Tel Aviv ...

  What a Country! What behavior for God's Chosen Ones!  - By Julie Lesser 
- Tribune Correspondent 

MONTREAL - Calling human trafficking one of the greatest human rights abuses of 
our time, Canadian journalist and social activist Victor Malarek addressed the 
Jewish community at a Montreal synagogue last Thursday. 

Promoting a book he has written on the subject, Malarek said destitute Third 
World and Eastern European females as young as 12 are tricked into leaving 
their homelands with promises of wealth and prosperity in the West, as well as 
Israel. Instead, they are sold into the sex trade by organized crime, gangs, 
pimps and brothel owners. 

Newspaper ads from modelling and employment agencies promise exciting jobs, 
but the women are duped, Malarek told the Jewish Tribune. They must submit, 
or they are raped, beaten and tortured. There are between 5,000 and 10,000 
trafficked women in Israel and more than 280 brothels in Tel Aviv alone. It is 
a human rights issue the Jewish community knows about. They have a voice and 
they must use it. 

The United Nations has cited human trafficking as an international crime 
generating more than US $12 billion worldwide. More than 800,000 people are 
trafficked annually, forced into prostitution and threatened with death should 
they attempt to escape the clutches of their captors. Canada is both a means of 
access to the United States, as well as a final destination for approximately 
2,000 women each year. 

Governments should be held accountable, said Liberal MP Irwin Cotler, who 
also addressed the crowd. It is a very serious problem in Israel, and Canada 
has been inadequate in the protection of victims of trafficking. It is a global 
slave trade. 

As the previous federal justice minister, Cotler aided in the implementation of 
several bills addressing the protection of vulnerable individuals, yet he 
openly admitted there have never been any prosecutions made for human 
trafficking. He focused on raising the public's awareness of trafficking as a 
method to prevent what he called the fastest rising criminal industry in the 
world today. Responding to an audience member's question, he said the problem 
of mistakenly granting Canadian visas to people who should not obtain them is 
an issue for the immigration department. 

As customers' demands for slave trade workers who do not have HIV or AIDS 
increases, the age of victims proportionally decreases. UNICEF has determined 
that approximately 1.7 billion children are victimized annually. Ironically, 
Malarek didn't realize the gravity of the situation until he personally 
witnessed how many young girls were trafficked into Kosovo to service troops 
sent by the United Nations. 

There is both national and international indifference, said Malarek. The 
public looks at the victims with apathy or scorn and foreign women are not the 
priority of most governments. Governments are complacent because the sex 
industry brings in money. 

Cotler noted that governments must work together in prosecuting oppressors 
while protecting their victims. He said the RCMP is part of an international 
trafficking unit that reflects cooperation among a number of governments. Human 
trafficking should be a priority on international policy-making agendas, he 
added, and complimented the United States on taking the lead in exercising what 
he called moral leadership. 

Most people don't know how big this problem is, said Larry Sakow, who 
attended the public event. As a Jew, I am upset about the trafficking in 
Israel. It is surprising that Jews have gotten into it and are making money. 

Victor Malarek's book, The Natashas: Inside the New Global Sex Trade, is 
currently available.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Debunking the Suicide for 72 Virgins Myth!

Debunking the Suicide for 72 Virgins Myth! 


One of the biggest Israeli propaganda myths is the invention of 72 virgins as a 
Muslim reward for suicide. This has been repeated to the western world so often 
that most people accept it as fact. The media wants us to believe that there 
cannot be anything wrong about Israelis  who must be seen as eternal victims  
to cause anyone to commit suicide as a means of striking back at them. Heavens 
no! The motivation for suicide bombings in Israel has nothing to do with Jewish 
treatment of Palestinians. Instead it has to do with the evilness of the 
Palestinians and their religious beliefs. This is the bill of goods they sell 
the western mind while at the same time faking most, if not all the Islamic 
suicide bombings to blame on Muslims. 

It is a sick and despicable mind that feels that it has a right to attack, 
steal, murder and cause harm to others but if the others dare fight back they 
are wrong and therefore terrorists. This one sentence describes Israeli 
thinking and their policies. They believe they are superior and entitled and 
they have a right to do anything to other people and those people better not 
retaliate. As a result they have done more by way of propaganda to take the 
legitimate fight of those who are against their wrongs and demonize them. We 
now have this ongoing enormous propaganda campaign to make Palestinians and 
anyone belonging to the same religion as Palestinians, to be seen as mindless 
terrorists and suicide bombers with no cause other than to do evil. And, of 
course, vicariously receiving 72 virgins as a reward in paradise for committing 
suicide to kill a few Israelis. 

The Quran and valid authentic Hadiths are very clear about what happens to 
anyone who commits suicide. According to Hadiths: 

Quote:   
-
  Committing Suicide is a Major Sin: 

Bukhari Volume 2, Book 23, Number 445: 
Narrated Jundab the Prophet said, A man was inflicted with wounds and he 
committed suicide, and so Allah said: My slave has caused death on himself 
hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him. 

Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Number 73: 
Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak: And if somebody commits suicide with anything 
in this world, he will be tortured with that very thing on the Day of 
Resurrection. 

-
  

There are many more Hadiths condemning suicide but I would also like to 
reference the Quran. Amongst the many verses against suicide here is one that 
makes it very clear that the taking of ones life is strongly prohibited and 
that there is no reward for anyone who does that.

So where did the reward of 72 virgins in paradise for suicide come from? Are 
there any Islamic teachings we can point to endorsing that? 

When we look at the highest authority in Islam, the Quran, we find nothing in 
it endorsing rewards for suicide. Instead we find the strongest condemnation 
with severe punishments for those who commit suicide. When we look at Hadiths, 
which after the Quran is second in authority in Islam, we find nothing in the 
authentic Bukhari and Muslim Hadiths endorsing suicide. Instead we find strong 
condemnation for it. 

Searching what Muslims refer to as Gharib Hadiths (weak or strange Hadiths) we 
do find something about 72 wives but not virgins. The Hadith we find is the 
following: 
Quote:   
-
  Sunan al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2562 says: 
The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: The smallest reward for the people of 
Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which 
stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the 
distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]   
-
  

This is as a weak Hadith that has no Sanad -- line or sequence of narration. 
Although listed in an authoritative collection, this particular Hadith has 
technical weaknesses in its chain of transmitters and is therefore not 
considered impeccable. As a result, Muslims are not required to believe in it. 
Even if the Hadith was true, there is nothing about it that says that if 
someone commits suicide they would get 72 virgins in paradise. 

Muslims know that the description of paradise or heaven in Hadiths and Quran is 
allegorical. If not, then Allah would have allowed us to take our bodies with 
us when we die. But the vehicle by which we could enjoy the physical things 
(especially 72 virgins ) mentioned as being in heaven, is left behind here in 
this world to rot and decay away. So we know for

Regardless of skin color, background, etc. they are all sell outs to Israel 
groveling at Jewish feet and endorsing murder of Muslims. Obama like the other

  Obama says all the right things on Israel!
   
  In a speech to American Jewish backers of Israel on Friday, US presidential 
hopeful Barack Obama said all the things he knew his audience would want to 
hear. 

Among the sound bites that were certain to warm Jewish hearts were: 
  No option, including military action, (should be taken) off the table as 
the world works to stop Iran's uranium enrichment program and prevent Iran 
from acquiring nuclear weapons. 

We must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with 
Israel by fully funding military assistance in order to help Israel maintain 
its military edge and deter and repel attacks from as far as Tehran and as 
close as Gaza. 

When Israel is attacked, we must stand up for Israel's legitimate right to 
defend itself. 

We should never seek to dictate what is best for the Israelis and their 
security interests. No Israeli prime minister should ever feel dragged to or 
blocked from the negotiating table by the United States.  Similar declarations 
were made by both presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush prior to their 
elections. 

Once in office, both men allowed US national interests to trump those 
commitments to Israel.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] KSM Confessed To Attacking Bank Founded After His Arrest!

  KSM Confessed To Attacking Bank Founded After His Arrest 
Fallacy of testimony exposed as story blows up in Pentagon's face 
Prison Planet | March 16, 2007 
Paul Joseph Watson 

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed's alleged confession testimony has been thoroughly 
discredited after it emerged that one of the targets he identified, the Plaza 
Bank, was not founded until 2006, four years after the alleged Al-Qaeda 
mastermind's arrest. 

In his confession, KSM claims, I was responsible for planning, training, 
surveying, and financing for the New (or Second) Wave of attacks against the 
following skyscrapers after 9/11: ...Plaza Bank, Washington state. 

KSM was arrested in March 2003. According to the Plaza Bank's website , the 
organization was founded in early 2006, making it impossible for KSM to have 
even known of the bank's existence before 2003, never mind plotted against it. 

Skepticism about the legitimacy of KSM's confession has gushed forth from all 
quarters, leaving the credibility of the Pentagon and the process of military 
tribunals in ruins and provoking additional questions about why the alleged 
Al-Qaeda mastermind admitted to involvement in such a vast range of plots. 

After media commentators across the spectrum, from Time Magazine to Matt Lauer 
and even Rosie O'Donnell were openly cynical of the accuracy of KSM's 
testimony, officials speaking on condition of anonymity admitted that the 
claims were exaggerated, but still insist KSM's responsibility for 9/11, from 
A to Z is genuine. 

Former CIA field officer Robert Baer also expressed his doubts , questioning 
What the Pentagon's objective really is in releasing the transcript of Khalid 
Sheikh Mohammed's confession. 

On the face of it, KSM, as he is known inside the government, comes across as 
boasting, at times mentally unstable. It's also clear he is making things up. 
I'm told by people involved in the investigation that KSM was present during 
Wall Street Journal correspondent Danny Pearl's execution but was in fact not 
the person who killed him. There exists videotape footage of the execution that 
minimizes KSM's role. And if KSM did indeed exaggerate his role in the Pearl 
murder, it raises the question of just what else he has exaggerated, or 
outright fabricated, writes Baer. 

The facet of the Pearl murder and why the establishment would want to shut the 
lid on the whole affair by pinning the blame on KSM is interesting in the 
context that in September 2006, Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf 
fingered Omar Sheikh as Pearl's assassin, adding that he was an MI6 agent 
working for British Intelligence . In the transcript of his alleged confession, 
KSM cryptically discusses CIA and Mossad involvement in the Pearl execution but 
the text is heavily redacted. 

KSM's claim that he ran the 1993 World Trade Center bombing is also highly 
suspect because it also conveniently sweeps under the carpet the fact that it 
was the FBI who provided the terror cell with the bomb materials through their 
informant and ordered the bombing to go ahead. 

In addition, KSM was a known CIA asset in the eighties and was used as a go 
between during the CIA-funded Afghan jihad against the occupying Soviets. 

It is well established that before his mysterious arrest as the alleged 
mastermind behind the September 11 plot, Mohammed was granted a visa to enter 
the US just six weeks before the terrorist attacks in Washington and New York. 

Other questions that have arisen concerning the testimony revolve around KSM's 
Americanized use of the English language, including the term A to Z, which 
many see as a form of slang that benefits tabloid headlines more than it does 
the vernacular of radical Muslim extremists. 

A CNN online poll shows that a massive 74% disbelieve all of the claims made by 
KSM and BBC respondents were equally cynical. 

Think Progress makes the point that KSM's comments on torture and any potential 
reference to the fact that he was tortured himself are redacted in the 
transcript. 

The upshot of all this is that the much vaunted KSM confession, which seems to 
have been intentionally inflated so the book could be closed on a number of 
nebulous plots cited by the Bush administration as justification for its 
policies, has blown up in the establishment's face and only succeeded in 
detracting credibility from the government's official 9/11 story and the 
mythical war on terror.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Re: German Judge rules Koran allows wife Abuse

2007-03-25 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Quote:   
-
  But the female judge, who has not been named, made clear in a letter that the 
wife's bid had little chance of approval because, according to her, Islamic law 
allowed a man to strike his wife.   
-
  
This is stated but no evidence from quotes of the Qur'an or Hadiths are 
provided to substantiate the false claim that Islamic law allows wife beating. 
How can Islamic law -- which is based on Quran and the authentic example of the 
Prophet (saaw) -- allows wife beating when the Prophet's specific words and 
example was the following: 

The example of the Holy Prophet (saws) is clear. When approached by a man 
about how he should treat his wife, the Prophet (saws) told him to feed her as 
you would feed yourself, provide for her clothes as you would for yourself, do 
not beat her and do not revile her. Remarking upon those men who beat their 
wives, he said they are not good Muslims. He said that the best men are those 
who treat their wives well. 

The Judge ruling in this case in Germany is going on propaganda myths without 
any real reference to anything in Islam to justify her claims. If she were to 
rule on Islamic law why not rule on the numerous examples from Qur'an and 
Hadiths which strongly condemn wife beating as in the following: 

1. From the Quran: 
  Quote:   
-
  30.021. And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among 
yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and 
mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. 

This shows that love and mercy to achieve a state of tranquility for husband 
and wife is what G-d intended for husband and wife NOT a whip. 

4.001. O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single 
person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like 
seeds) countless men and women;- reverence God, through whom ye demand your 
mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for God ever 
watches over you. 

49.013. O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, 
and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye 
may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is 
(he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well 
acquainted (with all things). 

Both verses above show that male and female are twin halves of each other 
created from a single soul. Our essence is the same and we are incomplete until 
we become one with our other half. We are to reverence the wombs that bore us 
which is an open endorsement by the Quran on how we should regard our women. 
Hurting them would be the same as hurting ourselves. 

Talking about separation/divorce, But do not take them back to hurt them, and 
whoever does that then he has wronged himself. (2:231) 

and you should not treat them with harshness (4:19) 

Treating our women with harshness or a way to cause hurt is forbidden in the 
Quran. But love, mercy and reverence is highly endorsed.

2. From the Hadiths: 

  Quote:   
-
  Narrated Mu'awiyah al-Qushayri: I went to the Messenger of Allah (saws) and 
asked him: What do you say about our wives? He replied: Give them food that you 
have for yourself, and clothe them by which you clothe yourself, and do not 
beat them, and do not revile them. 
(Sunan Abu Daawood 11:2139) 

Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah: I said: Messenger of Allaah, how should we 
approach our wives and how should we leave them? He replied: Approach your 
tilth when or how you will, give her food when you take food, clothe her when 
you clothe yourself, do not revile her face, and do not beat her. 
(Sunan Abu Daawood 11:2138) 

Narrated Abu Hurairah (ra): The Prophet (saws) said: The most perfect Muslim 
in the matter of faith is one who has excellent behaviour; and the best among 
you are those who behave best towards their wives. (reported in Jami 
At-Tirmidhee and widely accepted) 

The Prophet (saws) said: The most perfect believers are the best in conduct 
and the best of you are those who are best to their wives. (Ibn Hanbal, 
Hadeeth No. 7396) 

The Prophet (saws) said: The best of you is one who is best towards his family 
and I am best towards the family. (reported in Jami At-Tirmidhee and widely 
accepted). 

It was reported to the Prophet (saws) that some of his Companions beat their 
wives, whereupon he said, 'Certainly those are not the best among you. (as 
reported by Ahmad, Abu Daoud, and al-Nisai. Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim classify it 
as sound, as narrated by Iyas ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abu Dhiab). 

Right before his death, at his final sermon to Muslims, the Prophet (saaw) 
addressed issues that were of the most vital importance to Muslims. In doing so 
he addressed the

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] A Brief History of Hadiths!

2007-03-25 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Quote:   
-
  
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, there is no doubt that, there will be Hadiths 
coming after me, claiming that I have said things. So you MUST test those 
Hadiths from the QURAN. If it is really according to the QURAN only then accept 
it, otherwise reject it.[ (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book  Imrani Abee Musa, 
Matba Farooqi  513)   
-
  



The Quran is number one. All else is of secondary status and if anything 
disagrees with the Quran it is to be rejected. Lets do a brief history of 
Hadiths. In order to analyze the Hadiths we also need to see Islamic History 
with open eyes. I hope this will help those who may not be familiar. 

 Prophet Muhammad (saaw) was born in the year 570 AD. 

 Prophet Muhammad (saaw) received the first revelation from Gd and entered 
prophethood in the year 610 AD. 

 The Prophet (saaw) passed away in in the year 632 AD. 

 The Hadiths were first compiled around 250 years after the death of the 
Prophet (saaw), which is around year 900 AD. Compare this to the Quran which 
was partly compiled during the Prophets life and immediately after. The 
Prophet (saaw) himself dictated the sequence of the chapters in the Quran. 

 Was it possible that Jews, hypocrites and other enemies of Islam united 
together and tried to include fabricated Hadiths, to mislead the Muslim 
community? Yes of course. Even during the life of the Prophet (saaw) the 
enemies of Islam demanded to change verses of Quran, which the Prophet (saaw) 
answered that he didnt have any authority to do. The proof that an attempt had 
been made by the enemies of Islam with introduction of false Hadiths is the 
fact that out of seventeen books of Hadiths only seven were accepted by our 
religious scholars. More than 60% were rejected as being fabricated and 
misleading. 

 Is it possible that still in the seven accepted books of Hadiths there might 
have been fabricated Hadiths? Yes, and many have been. In fact many Hadiths, 
were rejected for contradicting the Quran. 

 Did all Muslims know the difference between authentic Hadiths and fabricated 
ones? NO! Because of poor communication, knowledge was not getting transferred 
as quickly as now. Many of these fabricated Hadiths still exist and they are a 
haven for Jews and other enemies of Islam for demonization. This is where the 
demonizers of Islam get their weak and fabricated Hadiths from. Also many 
Muslims still follow these Hadiths out of ignorance. 

 Muslims were getting successes before the year 900 AD. 

 After the year 900 AD, Muslims started a down fall BUT it took several 
hundred years just to feel the downfall, since the Muslim community were still 
succeeding. Many serious students of Islam believe that leaving the Quran 
behind and taking the Hadiths as number one, caused the Muslim community to 
fail more. This was also predicted by the Prophet (saaw) about his community. 

 After the year 1500 AD, it seems that Muslims went beyond the limit and 
started taking the Scholars as number one, the Hadiths as number two and the 
Quran they left behind. As history revealed, after that Muslims started losing 
all over the world. 

The Prophet Muhammad (saaw) already warned his people that there will be 
Hadiths coming after him and for us to accept them if they are according to 
Quran, other wise reject them. So we need to test every Hadith, dont reject 
all blindly and dont accept all Blindly as well, BUT do research and if it is 
according to the Quran, only then accept it. The Quran is the main source and 
guidance to all human beings. 

Allah promised that he will protect the Quran but he did not promise that he 
will protect Hadiths. Still there are numerous authentic Hadiths that are 
clearly in line with the Quran. The Prophet (saaw) said that he leaves behind 
two things for Muslim to follow. The Quran and his Sunnah. By his Sunnah the 
Prophet (saaw) was referring to the authentic reports of what he did and say. 
He never left behind fabricated hadiths. That was introduced later. The enemies 
of Islam know that they cannot come at Muslims through the Quran but they can 
do it through the Hadiths. That is why there is such a mess amongst 
unenlightened Muslims in the world and fantastic encouragement by Jews, 
colonialists and enemies of Islam to perpetuate false Hadiths. Weak Hadiths 
agreeing with FGM, unreliable and misunderstood Hadiths dealing with apostasy 
and other corruptions crept into the religion. None of which has any 
justification in the Quran. 

Any sincere Muslim will offer the Quran as the main source of study for anyone 
wanting to learn Islam. It is uncorrupted and supersedes all other authorities 
in Islam. As a result of sincere intense study of Quran many Hadiths, practices 
and customs that are un-Islamic are being discovered and rooted out. Muslims 
are reclaiming their religion from those who hijacked it with faulty 
understandings

there were British gunboats in an area that is out of Iraqi control, Brig.

show that they (sailors) were aware that they were operating in Iranian waters
and Iranian border guards fulfilled their responsibility.

The United States and its allies know that if they make any mistake in their
calculations ... they will not be able to control the dimensions and limit the
duration of a war, Afshar said.
In June 2004, six British marines and two sailors were seized by Iran in the
same waterway. They were presented blindfolded on Iranian television and
admitted entering Iranian waters illegally, then released unharmed after three
days.
Earlier this week, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, warned this
week that if Western countries treat us with threats and enforcement of
coercion and violence, undoubtedly they must know that the Iranian nation and
authorities will use all their capacities to strike enemies that attack.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini accused the British
of violating the sovereign boundaries of Iran, calling the entry a blatant
aggression.
He accused Britain of trying to cover up the incursion, saying it should
refrain from putting the blame on others.
The seizure of the Britons took place in an area where boundaries between
Iraqi and Iranian waters have long been disputed. A 1975 treaty set the center
of the Shatt al-Arab _ the 125-mile-long channel known in Iran as the Arvand
River _ as the border.
But Saddam Hussein canceled the 1975 treaty five years later and invaded
Iran, triggering an eight-year war. Virtually all of Iraq's oil is exported
through a terminal near the mouth of the channel.
Britain's Defense Ministry said the Royal Navy personnel were in Iraqi
territorial waters when they were seized. Cmdr. Kevin Aandahl of the U.S.
Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain also said it was very clear they were in Iraqi
waters.

Selective Memri

Brian Whitaker investigates whether the 'independent' media institute that 
translates the Arabic newspapers is quite what it seems 

Monday August 12, 2002
Guardian Unlimited 

  For some time now, I have been receiving small gifts from a generous 
institute in the United States. The gifts are high-quality translations of 
articles from Arabic newspapers which the institute sends to me by email every 
few days, entirely free-of-charge. 
   
  The emails also go to politicians and academics, as well as to lots of other 
journalists. The stories they contain are usually interesting.  Whenever I 
get an email from the institute, several of my Guardian colleagues receive one 
too and regularly forward their copies to me - sometimes with a note suggesting 
that I might like to check out the story and write about it.  If the note 
happens to come from a more senior colleague, I'm left feeling that I really 
ought to write about it. One example last week was a couple of paragraphs 
translated by the institute, in which a former doctor in the Iraqi army claimed 
that Saddam Hussein had personally given orders to amputate the ears of 
military deserters.Article continues
  
-

  
-
  
  The organisation that makes these translations and sends them out is the 
Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri), based in Washington but with 
recently-opened offices in London, Berlin and Jerusalem. 
   
  Its work is subsidised by US taxpayers because as an independent, 
non-partisan, non-profit organisation, it has tax-deductible status under 
American law.  Memri's purpose, according to its website, is to bridge the 
language gap between the west - where few speak Arabic - and the Middle East, 
by providing timely translations of Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew media.  
Despite these high-minded statements, several things make me uneasy whenever 
I'm asked to look at a story circulated by Memri. First of all, it's a rather 
mysterious organisation. Its website does not give the names of any people to 
contact, not even an office address.   The reason for this secrecy, according 
to a former employee, is that they don't want suicide bombers walking through 
the door on Monday morning (Washington Times, June 20).  This strikes me 
as a somewhat over-the-top precaution for an institute that simply wants to 
break down east-west language barriers.  The second thing that
 makes me uneasy is that the stories selected by Memri for translation follow a 
familiar pattern: either they reflect badly on the character of Arabs or they 
in some way further the political agenda of Israel. I am not alone in this 
unease. Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations told 
the Washington Times: Memri's intent is to find the worst possible quotes from 
the Muslim world and disseminate them as widely as possible.  Memri might, 
of course, argue that it is seeking to encourage moderation by highlighting the 
blatant examples of intolerance and extremism. But if so, one would expect it - 
for the sake of non-partisanship - t o publicise extremist articles in the 
Hebrew media too.  Although Memri claims that it does provide translations 
from Hebrew media, I can't recall receiving any.  Evidence from Memri's 
website also casts doubt on its non-partisan status. Besides supporting liberal 
democracy, civil society, and the free market,
 the institute also emphasises the continuing relevance of Zionism to the 
Jewish people and to the state of Israel.  That is what its website used 
to say, but the words about Zionism have now been deleted. The original page, 
however, can still be found in internet archives.  The reason for Memri's 
air of secrecy becomes clearer when we look at the people behind it. The 
co-founder and president of Memri, and the registered owner of its website, is 
an Israeli called Yigal Carmon.  Mr - or rather, Colonel - Carmon spent 22 
years in Israeli military intelligence and later served as counter-terrorism 
adviser to two Israeli prime ministers, Yitzhak Shamir and Yitzhak Rabin.  
Retrieving another now-deleted page from the archives of Memri's website also 
throws up a list of its staff. Of the six people named, three - including Col 
Carmon - are described as having worked for Israeli intelligence.  Among 
the other three, one served in the Israeli army's Northern
 Command Ordnance Corps, one has an academic background, and the sixth is a 
former stand-up comedian.   Col Carmon's co-founder at Memri is Meyrav Wurmser, 
who is also director of the centre for Middle East policy at the 
Indianapolis-based Hudson Institute, which bills itself as America's premier 
source of applied research on enduring policy challenges.  The ubiquitous

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Researcher: Israel Responsible for at least 97.8 Percent of Serious Human Rights Abuses in Conflict

2007-04-12 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Researcher: Israel Responsible for at least 97.8 Percent of Serious Human 
Rights Abuses in Conflict 
   
  As Israel comes under increasing pressure over its policies against 
Palestinians, an independent Swedish researcher today releases an extensive 
analysis of the Middle Eastern conflict since the formation of the state of 
Israel in 1948. According to Dr. Anthony Löwstedt, the vast majority of grave 
violations of human rights falls under the responsibility of the Jewish state. 

In the third edition of his study, 'Apartheid: Ancient, Past, and Present', 
Löwstedt concludes that no less than 97.8 percent of gross human rights 
violations so far committed in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are sole 
responsibilities of the Israeli Jews, and 2.2 percent, at the most, are 
Palestinian crimes. 

Israel was accused of apartheid by John Dugard, the United Nations Human Rights 
Council's Special Envoy to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in February 
this year. In a report to the Council, Dugard recommended bringing the charge 
of apartheid, a crime against humanity under international law, against Israel 
to the International Court of Justice in the Hague. Previously, two Nobel Peace 
Prize laureates, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and the former South 
African Anglican Archbishop, Desmond Tutu, had also raised accusations of 
apartheid against Israel. 

According to all four and many others, Israel is implementing the same system 
of oppression that Whites used against the indigenous black majority in South 
Africa until 1994. And just like Blacks committed a number of violent crimes 
against Whites and occasionally incited people to violence against South 
African Whites in the liberation struggle there, Palestinians have carried out 
similar crimes against Israeli Jews. 

However, the overwhelming majority of violent crimes as well as cases of 
incitement to violence are responsibilities of the privileged ethnicities in 
both countries, according to Löwstedt. Moreover, he points out seven kinds of 
systematic, racist crimes which he says are the sole responsibilities of the 
Israeli Jews and the South African Whites and of similar ethnic elites in other 
apartheid societies. These crimes include ethnically discriminatory 
repopulation, citizenship, land, work, access, education, and language policies 
and practices.

Africa as an academic and for the UN. He currently teaches at Webster

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Jewish Control of the Media!

2007-05-23 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR CONTROL. Even now 
this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by 
a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. 
These agencies will then be already entirely ours and will give publicity only 
to what we dictate to them.

Jewish Control of the Media 

George Bush has declared May Jewish Heritage month. So heres a little article 
about Jewish control of the mass media in the US. For decades in America prior 
to the rise of the Cable channels, three Jews William S. Paley, David Sarnoff 
and Leonard Goldenson ran the three major media networks. A few Gentiles have 
popped up in the media like Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch. Turner was married 
to the Communist sympathizer Jane Fonda. Murdoch has been in bed with the 
neocon Jews. 
 
The Jews always seem to maneuver to take over the few Gentile movie or news 
agencies that arise. Walt Disney established a large movie making empire that 
produced wholesome entertainment for decades. The Jewish Michael Eisner came to 
control Disney and ruined the wholesome reputation. 
 
One source describes the early media masters As the founder of a major U.S. 
network, Leonard Goldenson is perhaps not as famous as David Sarnoff of NBC or 
William S. Paley of CBS. But he should be. Starting in 1951, over a thirty-year 
period, Goldenson created the modern ABC (American Broadcasting Company) 
television network. He did not have the advantage of an extraordinary talent 
pool, as CBS did from its radio contract. Yet Goldenson should be given credit 
as one of the modern corporate chieftains who shaped and led television in the 
United States into the network eraand beyond. 
 
Another source reports The largest media conglomerate today is AOL, which 
bought out Time Warner for $160 billion early in 2000. The merger brought 
together Steve Case, a Gentile, as Chairman of the new AOL, and Gerald Levin, a 
Jew, as the CEO. Although AOL isnt (yet) run entirely by Jews, the effect of 
this blend of leadership between a white capitalist whose biggest concern is 
money and a racially conscious Jew will be gradually to increase the Jewish 
influence within AOL. Steve Case wont complain when Gerald Levin begins hiring 
mostly Jews to fill key positions beneath him because Cases own profits wont 
be affected. After Case dies or retires, the Jews will have complete control at 
AOL. Before the merger, AOL was the largest Internet service provider in 
America, and it will now be used as an online platform for the Jewish content 
from Time Warner. Time Warner Inc, with 1997 revenues of more that $13 billion, 
was the second largest of the international media
 leviathans when it was bought by AOL. Levin, chairman and CEO of Time Warner, 
had bought Turner Broadcasting System in 1996 from Ted Turner, who had been one 
of the few Gentile entrepreneurs in the media business. Ted Turner, as the 
company president, is the number three man at the new AOL, after Case and 
Levin. 
 
A Russian intelligence officer uncovered a sophisticated plot for world 
domination over 100 years ago. The document was translated into English in 1905 
and was called The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Henry Ford 
believed this document to be genuine and said that it fit historical events. 
 
One passage from the Protocols talks about Jewish control of the media: 
 
THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION 
 
. 
 
PROTOCOL No. 12 
 
. 
 
3. We shall deal with the press in the following way: what is the part played 
by the press to-day? It serves to excite and inflame those passions which are 
needed for our purpose or else it serves selfish ends of parties. It is often 
vapid, unjust, mendacious, and the majority of the public have not the 
slightest idea what ends the press really serves. We shall saddle and bridle it 
with a tight curb: we shall do the same also with all productions of the 
printing press, for where would be the sense of getting rid of the attacks of 
the press if we remain targets for pamphlets and books? 
 
 
 
WE CONTROL THE PRESS 
 
4. NOT A SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL REACH THE PUBLIC WITHOUT OUR CONTROL. Even 
now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are 
received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of 
the world. These agencies will then be already entirely ours and will give

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Neocon Elliot Abrams Behind Palestinians Killing Palestinians!

2007-05-25 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Elliot Abrams uncivil war   Is the Bush administration violating the law in an 
effort to provoke a Palestinian civil war?
 Deputy National Security Advisor, Elliott Abrams  who Newsweek recently 
described as the last neocon standing  has had it about for some months now 
that the U.S. is not only not interested in dealing with Hamas, it is working 
to ensure its failure. In the immediate aftermath of the Hamas elections, last 
January, Abrams greeted a group of Palestinian businessmen in his White House 
office with talk of a hard coup against the newly-elected Hamas government  
the violent overthrow of their leadership with arms supplied by the United 
States. While the businessmen were shocked, Abrams was adamant  the U.S. had 
to support Fatah with guns, ammunition and training, so that they could fight 
Hamas for control of the Palestinian government.
 While those closest to him now concede the Abrams words were issued in a 
moment of frustration, the hard coup talk was hardly just talk. Over the last 
twelve months, the United States has supplied guns, ammunition and training to 
Palestinian Fatah activists to take on Hamas in the streets of Gaza and the 
West Bank. A large number of Fatah activists have been trained and graduated 
from two camps  one in Ramallah and one in Jericho. The supplies of rifles and 
ammunition, which started as a mere trickle, has now become a torrent (Haaretz 
reports the U.S. has designated an astounding $86.4 million for Abu Mazens 
security detail), and while the program has gone largely without notice in the 
American press, it is openly talked about and commented on in the Arab media  
and in Israel. Thousands of rifles and bullets have been poring into Gaza and 
the West Bank from Egypt and Jordan, the administrations designated allies in 
the program.
 At first, it was thought, the resupply effort (initiated under the guise of 
assist[ing] the Palestinian Authority presidency in fulfilling PA commitments 
under the road map to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism and establish 
law and order in the West Bank and Gaza, according to a U.S. government 
document) would strengthen the security forces under the command of Palestinian 
President Mahmoud Abbas. Officials thought that the additional weapons would 
easily cow Hamas operatives, who would meekly surrender the offices they had 
only recently so dearly won. That has not only not happened, but the program is 
under attack throughout the Arab world  particularly among Americas closest 
allies.
 While both Egypt and Jordan have shipped arms to Abu Mazen under the Abrams 
program (Egypt recently sent 1,900 rifles into Gaza and the West Bank, nearly 
matching the 3000 rifles sent by the Jordanians), neither Jordans King 
Abdullah nor Egypts Hosni Mubarak believe the program will work  and both are 
now maneuvering to find a way out of it. Who can blame them? an 
administration official told us recently. While Mubarak has no love for Hamas, 
they do not want to be seen as bringing them down. The same can be said for 
Jordan. A Pentagon official was even more adamant, cataloguing official 
Washingtons nearly open disdain for Abrams program. This is not going to 
work and everyone knows it wont work. It is too clever. Were just not very 
good at this. This is typical Abrams stuff. This official went on to note that 
it is unlikely that either Jordan or Egypt will place their future in the 
hands of the White House. Who the hell outside of Washington wants to see a
 civil war among Palestinians? Do we really think that the Jordanians think 
thats a good idea. The minute it gets underway, Abdullah is finished. Hell, 
fifty percent of his country is Palestinian.
 Senior U.S. Army officers and high level civilian Pentagon officials have been 
the most outspoken internal administration critics of the program, which was 
unknown to them until mid-August, near the end of Israels war against 
Hezbollah. When Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld learned about it he was 
enraged, and scheduled a meeting with President Bush in an attempt to convince 
him the program would backfire. Rumsfeld was concerned that the anti-Hamas 
program would radicalise Muslim groups among American allies and eventually 
endanger U.S. troops fighting Sunni extremists in Iraq. According to our 
reports, Rumsfeld was told by Bush that he should keep his focus on Iraq, and 
that the Palestinian brief was in the hands of the Secretary of State. After 
this confrontation, Rumsfeld decided there was not much he could do.
 The Abrams program was initially conceived in February of 2006 by a group of 
White House officials who wanted to shape a coherent and tough response to the 
Hamas electoral victory of January. These officials, we are told, were led by 
Abrams, but included national security advisors working in the Office of the 
Vice President, including prominent neo-conservatives David Wurmser and John

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] 'Wiped off the Map' � The Rumor of the Century

2007-05-31 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

'Wiped off the Map'  The Rumor of the Century

Across the world, a dangerous rumor has spread that could have catastrophic 
implications. According to legend, Iran's president has threatened to destroy 
Israel, or, to quote the misquote, Israel must be wiped off the map. Contrary 
to popular belief, this statement was never made. 
 
On Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 at the Ministry of Interior conference hall in 
Tehran, newly elected Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered a speech 
at a program, reportedly attended by thousands, titled The World Without 
Zionism. Large posters surrounding him displayed this title prominently in 
English, obviously for the benefit of the international press. Below the 
poster's title was a slick graphic depicting an hour glass containing planet 
Earth at its top. Two small round orbs representing the United States and 
Israel are shown falling through the hour glass' narrow neck and crashing to 
the bottom. 
 
Before we get to the infamous remark, it's important to note that the quote 
in question was itself a quote  they are the words of the late Ayatollah 
Khomenei, the father of the Islamic Revolution. Although he quoted Khomeini to 
affirm his own position on Zionism, the actual words belong to Khomeini and not 
Ahmadinejad. Thus, Ahmadinejad has essentially been credited (or blamed) for a 
quote that is not only unoriginal, but represents a viewpoint already in place 
well before he ever took office. 
 
The Actual Quote:  
 
So what did Ahmadinejad actually say? To quote his exact words in Farsi:  
 
Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv 
shavad.  
 
That passage will mean nothing to most people, but one word might ring a bell: 
rezhim-e. It is the word regime. pronounced just like the English word with 
an extra eh sound at the end. Ahmadinejad did not refer to Israel the country 
or Israel the land mass, but the Israeli regime. This is a vastly significant 
distinction, as one cannot wipe a regime off the map. Ahmadinejad does not even 
refer to Israel by name, he instead uses the specific phrase rezhim-e 
ishghalgar-e qods (regime occupying Jerusalem). 
 
So this raises the question.. what exactly did he want wiped from the map? 
The answer is: nothing. That's because the word map was never used. The 
Persian word for map, nagsheh is not contained anywhere in his original Farsi 
quote, or, for that matter, anywhere in his entire speech. Nor was the western 
phrase wipe out ever said. Yet we are led to believe that Iran's president 
threatened to wipe Israel off the map. despite never having uttered the words 
map. wipe out or even Israel. 
 
The Proof:  
 
The full quote translated directly to English:  
 
The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of 
time.  
 
Word by word translation:  
 
Imam (Khomeini) ghoft (said) een (this) rezhim-e (regime) ishghalgar-e 
(occupying) qods (Jerusalem) bayad (must) az safheh-ye ruzgar (from page of 
time) mahv shavad (vanish from). 
 
Here is the full transcript of the speech in Farsi, archived on Ahmadinejad's 
web site  
 
The Speech and Context:  
 
While the false wiped off the map extract has been repeated infinitely 
without verification, Ahmadinejad's actual speech itself has been almost 
entirely ignored. Given the importance placed on the map comment, it would be 
sensible to present his words in their full context to get a fuller 
understanding of his position. In fact, by looking at the entire speech, there 
is a clear, logical trajectory leading up to his call for a world without 
Zionism. One may disagree with his reasoning, but critical appraisals are 
infeasible without first knowing what that reasoning is. 
 
In his speech, Ahmadinejad declares that Zionism is the West's apparatus of 
political oppression against Muslims. He says the Zionist regime was imposed 
on the Islamic world as a strategic bridgehead to ensure domination of the 
region and its assets. Palestine, he insists, is the frontline of the Islamic 
world's struggle with American hegemony, and its fate will have repercussions 
for the entire Middle East. 
 
Ahmadinejad acknowledges that the removal of America's powerful grip on the 
region via the Zionists may seem unimaginable to some, but reminds the audience 
that, as Khomeini predicted, other seemingly invincible empires have 
disappeared and now only exist in history books. He then proceeds to list three 
such regimes that have collapsed, crumbled or vanished, all within the last 30 
years: 
 
(1) The Shah of Iran  the U.S. installed monarch  
 
(2) The Soviet Union  
 
(3) Iran's former arch-enemy, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein  
 
In the first and third examples, Ahmadinejad prefaces their mention with 
Khomeini's own words foretelling that individual regime's demise. He concludes 
by referring to Khomeini's unfulfilled wish: The Imam said this regime 
occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time. This

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Israelis CAUGHT staging terrorism in Trinidad!!!

2007-06-06 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Before running off and believing the nonsense and fabricated stories about 
those bad terrorist Trinidadian Muslims attempting to blow up JFK, let's look 
at who has been caught in Trinidad not long ago with setting off bombs and 
staging terrorism. My, my these god's chosen people were sure a long way from 
home...
   
  The other question to ask yourself is why wasn't the story below and other 
stories about Israelis being caught staging terrorism in Trinidad given the 
same fanfare by the media as they are trying to do now with Muslims?
   
   
  In what may have been an attempt to stage a set of bombings in the Caribbean 
oil region and point the finger at Venezuela's significant Arab and Muslim 
population, a Russian-born Israeli national was recently arrested in Port of 
Spain, Trinidad. Vatang Agrunov (who uses the aliases Bhatang Agranouve and 
Dahtang Mik Agarunov), 26, is being questioned by Trinidadian authorities for 
his connections to four bombings in Port of Spain this year-- on July 11 on 
busy Frederick Street (injuring 14 people, 2 seriously, one woman losing her 
leg), August 10 on busy George Street, September 10, and November 3. As was the 
case with Israeli art students and movers who have been detained in the 
United States and Canada, Agrunov played dumb, first claiming he did not steal 
an immigration extension stamp that could be illegally used to grant visa 
extensions in Trinidad. According to the Trinidad and Tobago Express, in 
typical broken English and proffering a sob story, Agrunov told
 police, I just want to say I take the stamp and finish this story. I don't 
want to stay in this country any longer. I want to go home. I just want to 
finish this and go back to my country because my family does not know what 
happened to me. 

Agrunov had used the immigration stamp to extend his own stay in the country. 
Caribbean authorities have intelligence that Agrunov is a suspected terrorist.

Israeli terrorists in Caribbean setting the stage for attacks in Venezuela? 

Trinidad and Tobago authorities, including the Trinidad Anti-Crime Unit, the 
Criminal Investigation Division, and the local Interpol representative, are 
awaiting an Interpol report on Agrunov. Port of Spain Magistrate Maureen 
Baboolal-Gafoor denied Agrunov bail, citing him as a flight risk. Israeli 
agents have been arrested in New Zealand and Australia on charges that they 
were involved in the theft of New Zealand passports. As typical in such cases, 
the Israeli government denied any knowledge of the Trinidad affair. The Israeli 
embassy in Caracas, which has responsibility for Israeli affairs in Trinidad, 
said it had no information on Agrunov's arrest. 

The unfettered use of a Trinidad visa stamp by an Israeli false flag cell would 
have permitted Israeli agents to secretly enter and exit Venezuela via nearby 
Trinidad, which is only 7 miles away -- an excellent cover for committing 
terrorist attacks on tourist centers or oil installations in either Venezuela 
or Trinidad -- and blaming them on Al Qaeda or Arabs and Muslims living in 
the area. The previous bombings in Trinidad were at first blamed on local 
Muslim activists. Israel's Foreign Ministry is labeling as strange the 
reaction of Trinidadian authorities to the presence of a suspected Israeli 
terrorist in their nation. 

There is also evidence that the FBI arrived in Trinidad after the July blast to 
cover up for the Israelis. Local police complained that the FBI presence was 
not required and Prime Minister Patrick Manning said he was unaware that anyone 
had requested help from the FBI at the time. In cases where local police and 
Federal agents detained Israeli agents snooping around sensitive industrial and 
military facilities in the United States, the FBI quickly had them transferred 
to their control whereupon they were hurriedly deported from the United States. 
In some cases, deported Israelis have returned to the United States.

This is another exposure of the deliberate false accusations and false flags

minds of ordinary people. Even Muslim doctors can be terrorists, no Muslim 
regardless of what his position is in Western society can be trusted is what 
the media circus about this matter was intended to achieve. I am glad it fell 
apart so fast and it is too bad that the same fanfare made by the media to 
accuse this innocent doctor is not being made to show that the charges against

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Our Congratulations to the People of Turkey!

2007-07-29 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Our Congratulations to the People of Turkey
  from Israel Shamir
   
  Our congratulations to the people of Turkey on the election victory of the 
Islamic Party! This is a fateful event: the East returns to God, and finds its 
own way. Istanbul has followed Gaza: the AKP-ruled Turkey will be a friend to 
Hamas-ruled Palestine, to Islamic Iran, to Orthodox Greece and Russia, to the 
religious anti-occupation forces of nearby Iraq. She will again take her place 
of pride as the centerpiece of the Eastern mosaic, while its pro-American and 
God-hating generals, the Turkish Dahlans, will creep back to their barracks. 
Faith in God unites us, while the nationalists had divided us.
   
  The legacy of Ataturk, this overlong infatuation with nationalist doctrines, 
overstayed its welcome. This founder of rump-Turkey came to power in a country 
decimated by the results of the WWI. Turkey suffered the fate of Austria: both 
countries were dismembered by the victorious Anglo-Americans. Both gave birth 
to ferociously nationalist leaders: Adolf Hitler was as anti-religious and as 
nationalist as Kemal Ataturk. They were not alone: equally anti-religious 
regimes came to power in Russia and Mexico. Ataturk was prone to drink his 
fiery raki at Ramadan in the public places to show his disdain of the faith, 
while Lenin spoke scornfully of 'bozhenka', goddie (almost doggie). At the 
other end of the world, Japanese and Chinese revolted against Buddha. 
   
  Today, it is easy to blame Ataturk and his predecessors, the Young Turks. 
They liaised with the dark forces, with Zionists, with Western imperialists, 
even with the then-strong Masons. They destroyed the centuries-long base of the 
Turkish Empire. They destroyed the language and the culture of Turkey. Instead 
of historic Arab graphics, they enforced the use of Latin letters and made 
millions of Turks illiterate. Their new way of spelling created a chasm with 
the old literature and with neighboring Islamic cultures. They privatized the 
lands and created a new landless class. But this account-taking is not needed 
now.
   
  Moreover, one can understand them. The old regimes failed to protect the East 
from the Western onslaught, and in a way, people punished their God for this 
failure, even coming to prefer the more effective Western God of 
cash-and-carry. There was an urgent need to modernize the administration and 
the army, and to find a new language more suited to Western ideas. The faith 
was considered a pillar of the old regime, so it had to go. Still, let us be 
fair: by withstanding the Armenian, Greek and British offensives, Ataturk saved 
some of what could be saved, though he lost much of what needed to be preserved.
   
  This development was a tragic but mercifully a short-lived one. The people of 
the East had a run of unbridled freedom, like schoolchildren when the teacher 
leaves the classroom. Very soon they discovered that the place of the strict 
teacher was taken by the strongest ruffian, and their freedom was just a 
temporary illusion. Under the followers of Ataturk, Turkey was colonized by the 
US; NATO bases sprung up on its shore and the Sixth Fleet found a home away 
from home in its harbors. Turkey became a close friend of the Zionist state, 
even though Zionists contributed greatly to the destruction of the Ottoman 
Empire. This part of history was forgotten, while the story of 'the Arab 
betrayal' was artificially promoted and spread. 
   
  Persecution of the faithful in Turkey lasted longer than anywhere on earth. 
The Russians repaired their churches, and the Japanese went back to their 
jinjas, but the Turks still could not grow a beard or wear national dress. 
Chomsky's translator (and mine, too), our friend Fatima, could wear her chador 
only on a visit in the US, if not in the privacy of her home. Now hopefully 
this remnant of the old repression will disappear, and the Turks will be able 
to grow beards like Che Guevara. 
   
  The bigger problem of the nationalist regime was its lack of solidarity. The 
national elites did not care enough for the people, whether in Turkey or in 
Palestine  they were more interested in securing free access to Europe's 
playground than in promoting the ordinary people's wellbeing. The believers, 
the ordinary people of Turkey and Palestine, had to form their own grass-roots 
associations to protect their vital interests. Out of these associations, the 
Islamic parties spread forth. They are the true expression of the people's 
will, and hopefully they will remain uncorrupted. 
   
  This victory is very important for Palestine, where the freely elected 
government of Hamas was made impotent by Israel and by docile Americans and 
Europeans. Now there is a chance of breaking the Zionist blockade. This is an 
important victory for the whole world, for an Islamic Turkey won't help the US 
in its impending attack on Iran. Hopefully the Turks will forbid the US to use 
its bases and

  Charges Dropped Against Mosque Program
  

  Charges will not be brought against preachers featured in a Channel 4 
Dispatches programme which looked at allegations of extremism in mosques. 

West Midlands Police carried out an investigation into three speakers and their 
comments in the programme Undercover Mosque broadcast in January. 

The CPS said the programme spliced together speech extracts completely 
distorting what the speakers said. 

West Midlands Police said it was reporting the matter to Ofcom. 

The CPS said there was not enough evidence to bring charges. 

The programme investigated a number of mosques run by organisations claiming to 
be dedicated to moderation and dialogue with other faiths. 

An undercover reporter claimed to provide evidence that certain speakers 
preached messages of religious bigotry and extremism.

  In this case we have been dealing with a heavily edited television 
programme, apparently taking out of context aspects of speeches

The Channel 4 Dispatches website, in a piece about the programme, said the 
reporter had attended talks at mosques and found preachers condemning the idea 
of integration into British society, condemning British democracy as unIslamic 
and praising the Taliban for killing British soliders. 

Police said they acknowledged some parts of the programme may have been 
considered offensive, but, when analysed in full context, there was not enough 
evidence to bring charges. 

CPS lawyer Bethan David said: The splicing together of extracts from longer 
speeches appears to have completely distorted what the speakers were saying. 

The CPS has demonstrated it will not hesitate to prosecute those responsible 
for criminal incitement. 

But in this case we have been dealing with a heavily edited television 
programme, apparently taking out of context aspects of speeches which in their 
totality could never provide a realistic prospect of any convictions. 

Police also asked the CPS to consider a prosecution for including material 
likely to stir up racial hatred but again were advised there was insufficient 
evidence.

I had the great pleasure of seeing Norman Finkelstein lecture on the 
Israeli/Palestinian conflict on 13 November at Binghamton University. 
Binghamton is Norman's alma mater and just a 60-minute drive from my home. He 
sat behind the podium with a beautiful smile on his face as he watched the 
audience pile in. Our group of two adult couples stood out in an auditorium 
filled with college kids. We sat front and center. About one-third of the 
audience appeared to be Jewish. He spoke resolutely and passionately, 
unfolding the long sequence of events in the history of Israel and Palestine. 
He made eye contact with every person in the audience.
   
The text of his talk, with very useful references, can be found at 
://www.normanfinkelstein.com/id128.htm I believe that this is the single best 
article-length introduction to this conflict ever written. 

The speech was most remarkable in how Norman used direct quotes from Israeli 
officials and historians to dismiss so many of the myths surrounding this 
conflict. He made it very clear that the Zionists 
were, from the beginning, committed to the way of transfer to deal with the 
population problem. He quotes numerous observers and historians to support 
the argument that it was the Palestinians' real 
and justified fear of expulsion that caused them to resist and attack Jews in 
the pre-war years, not some irrational anti-semitism. He recounts how in 1967 
the transfer option was no longer available, so 
Israel has attempted the apartheid option instead. He recounts Israel's long 
and bloody efforts to avoid a two-state solution. He graphically recounts the 
violent Israeli response to every Palestinian/Arab two-state peace 
offensive--from the 1982 invasion 
of Lebanon to the recent Operation Defensive Shield and bombing of Gaza. He 
highlighted a few salient facts: Israel mourns the deaths of 20,000 Jews, 
mostly combatants, in the last 120 years of 
struggle. By comparison, Israel killed 20,000 Palestinians and Lebanese, mostly 
civilians, in just four months in the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. 5000 Israeli 
settlers in the Jordan Valley consume an 
amount of water that is 75% of the total water consumed by 2 million 
Palestinians in the West Bank. 

Norman recounted how the Oslo accords were basically an attempt to create a 
permanent apartheid regime, with Arafat lording it over the Palestinians as an 
agent of Israel, meanwhile enjoying the trappings 
of statehood and enriching himself and his cronies. In the end, Arafat, corrupt 
as he was, had the courage, or the fear of his own people, to refuse the Barak 
bantustan plan. 

With the apartheid option dead, Norman believes that the situation is moving 
tragically towards a new attempt at the transfer option. He recalled that in 
1989, Benjamin Netanyahu (my Antichrist frontrunner) 
urged the Israeli government to exploit politically favorable circumstances 
like the Tiananmen massacre to carry out large-scaleexpulsions when the 
damage to Israel would have been relatively small. Norman fears this horrible 
event may occur during the US 
attack on Iraq, after international journalists and activists have been 
expelled from Israel and the West Bank. He hopes that some combination of 
Palestinian non-violent resistance and international pressure will bring an 
Israeli withdrawal, but one can sense that he doesn't believe it will happen. 
He urged everyone of us to do anything we could to prevent it--so that we would 
not feel that we had known it was coming and did nothing.

After speaking for nearly two hours, he took questions for an hour. It was a 
marvel to behold his grip on the subject and his skill in providing the right 
response for that particular individual. He knew all the standard 
questions/accusations that would be brought by the Jewish members of the 
audience. He made a point of picking them out 
from among the many hands raised and he seemed to relish their angry remarks 
and questions. His skill is understandable, since he's been lecturing on the 
Israel/Palestine since he was a young man. In fact 
he and his mother lectured together. She would deal with the Nazi/Jewish 
Holocaust, then he would deal with the Israel/Palestinian conflict. He said 
that audiences always loved his mother's presentation but hated his--even 
though they both were examples of 
ethnic cleansing. 

When accosted with the classical the land belongs to the Jews argument. He 
asked the questionner how he would feel if a man showed up at his door one day 
and said according to my Bible, your house and land belong to me. Would you 
leave?, he asked. 
  
In response to complaints about Palestinian anti-semitism and violence, he made 
an analogy to the American Indians. He reminded readers that the

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] President Ahmadinejad meets Jewish rabbis in New York!

2007-09-27 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Iran-US-President   President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Monday afternoon met with a 
group of Jewish rabbis who gave him a silver grail as a sign of friendship. 

The president is currently in New York to address the United Nations General 
Assembly. 

The rabbis carried a placard which read, I am Jewish not a Zionist. 
A senior rabbi of the group said that they considered the visit to New York of 
President Ahmadinejad as an exceptional opportunity and would never forget it. 

He referred to the Iranian president as a person who made a distinction between 
Jews and Zionists. 

You understand us and make a distinction between the violent behavior of 
Zionists and the religious beliefs of Jews, said the senior rabbi who called 
President Ahmadinejad a pious man who is seeking to restore peace in the world 
and has humanitarian plans. Appreciating the rabbis for their gift, President 
Ahmadinejad said he was happy to visit them. 

All people in the world have now understood that Judaism is different from 
Zionism, said the president. 

He added, Zionists are a political group looking for taking advantage of the 
opportunities while Jews are the followers of the Moses who promoted peace and 
friendship. 
President Ahmadinejad stressed that there was no disagreement between the 
followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam as they all pray the same God and 
are brothers. 

The president said the future belongs to the monotheist faiths and that liars 
would be eliminated. 

He stressed that all followers of divine faiths were responsible to promote 
monotheism and defend peace, justice and brotherhood.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Ahmadinejad unveils world without Israel!

2007-09-27 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used his speech to the United Nations 
General Assembly on Tuesday to unveil a vision of a world without Israel, in 
which America and Europe would be freed of what he said was Zionist oppression. 

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks during the 62nd session of the 
United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters. 

Culminating a concerted assault on what he described as the injustices and 
oppressions practiced by the big powers since World War II, he said that the 
ungodly era of lewdness and violence was coming to a close and that the age of 
monotheism has commenced. 

The world was nearing the sunset of the time of empires, he said, and urged 
the dominant world powers to eschew their obedience to Satan and submit to 
the will of god. If they did so, they will be saved. If not, calamities 
will befall them. 

But whether or not these powers chose to reform themselves, he said, the day 
was fast approaching when occupied lands will be freed. Palestine and Iraq 
will be liberated from the domination of the occupiers. And the people of 
America and Europe would be liberated from Zionist oppression. This is the 
promise of god, he said. Therefore it will be fulfilled. 

Earlier in his address, the Iranian president insisted again that his country's 
nuclear program was peaceful and transparent, and repeated and elaborated on 
the charges he had levelled at Columbia University on Monday against Israel - 
which he did not mention by name, but rather called the illegal Zionist 
regime. 

He told the assembled world leaders that the people of Palestine had been 
punished for 60 years for what had happened in Europe. They had been held 
under occupation of the illegal Zionist regime, he said. The Palestinian 
people have been displaced, he went on, incarcerated under abhorrent 
conditions. They were being deprived of water and medicine for the sin of 
asking for freedom. 

Ahmadinejad accused Israel of terrorism and castigated the brutal Zionists 
for carrying out targeted assassinations. 

He also described immigration to Israel as the gathering of Jews from around 
the world with false promises, and their enforced settlement in the occupied 
territories where there were induced to malevolence against the Palestinian 
people. 

He spoke of a range of global injustices being rooted in the domination by the 
victors of World War II over the vanquished, and being perpetuated by the 
skewed composition of the permanent membership of the UN Security Council. The 
big powers, he said, had put themselves in the position of god and lost 
their respect for the dignity of humans. 

As a remedy, he proposed the formation of a coalition for peace, guided by 
monotheism, justice and compassion for humans, and the reforming of the 
Security Council based on justice and democracy. 

On the nuclear issue, he said Iran's activities were completely peaceful and 
transparent and castigated the illegal sanctions initiatives against his 
country. But the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed, he said, however, 
indicting that Iran had prevailed, thanks to the resistance of the Iranian 
people.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Letter to Columbia University President Bollinger from an American patriot!

2007-09-28 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Dear President Bollinger; 

I am a seasoned geo-political intel analyst who has spent time in the Mid-East 
- among other credentials. I also come from a Latin ethnicity whose heritage 
included the tradition of hospitality to those who were invited to my home or 
my country. I am multi-lingual - have been a foreign diplomat - Honeywell 
aero-apace scientist - have traveled to dozens of foreign countries - lived 
among other cultures - am a successful retired businessman and while you were 
still in Jr high school - was commanding a combat training infantry company of 
some 235 men - the youngest officer on record to do so at that time ( 1961) 
Later on I commanded an elite Special Operations Airborne A -Team - so I have 
not garnered my knowledge or learned opinions via an 'armchair'. I have 'paid 
my dues' - and with HONOR! 

What I witnessed recently was one of the most embarrassing and disgusting 
experiences of my life. Your conduct was not only inappropriate - but of a thug 
bully mentality which has tainted the reputation of my country - my native land 
that I have risked my life to protect. How much was it Mr. Bollinger? - 30 
pieces of silver? Was that what the Jews paid you for your cowardly 
'assassination'? I would have expected such ignorant slanderous crudeness from 
filth like Bill Clinton - but not a person of your prestigious position. Do you 
REALLY have ANY idea of the amount of IRREPARABLE damage you have committed by 
your arrogant malevolent slanderous insults! The man you so maliciously 
insulted and falsely maligned, holds a doctorate degree and is the elected 
President of a sovereign nation. You might at least had the decorum to 
recognize those facts. 

Of all the countries in the Mid-East where I was NOT shown courtesy, respect 
and hospitality - the ONLY place was IsraHELL. What was really an eye opener 
was that before my actual experiences there, I had expected exactly the 
opposite! As long as that land of Godless liars, thieves, prostitutes, porn 
kings, white slavers, murderers, cheats, frauds, mobsters, Marxists, racists 
and traitors to America EXISTS - there will NEVER EVER be ANY peace on this 
planet. That place is 100% pure concentrated evil! Read you Bible Mr. 
Bollinger. Our Lord PERSONALLY addressed them - the 'self-chosen' - as the  
sons of the Devil - the father of all lies. NOTHING has changed in the souls 
and hearts of these pernicious scum in the past 2000 years. 

In the future - DECENT KNOWLEDGEABLE American patriots will hold brutish lying 
slanderous 'shabbus goy' like yourself responsible for the horrors that you 
have been responsible for promoting. When that treasonous spineless mongoloid 
war criminal Bush plunges MY country into a world wide conflict - people like 
you WILL be ALSO held responsible. YOU WILL YET PAY FOR YOUR COMPLICITY IN 
THESE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. 

These madmen traitors have sent our street scum ( these are NOT the decent 
young warriors I trained 45 years ago!) to murder -at present count- now OVER 
ONE MILLION TOTALLY INNOCENT CIVILIAN MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN - all in the name 
of the Jew and his criminal shit little stolen country - IsraHELL! I have been 
INSIDE that criminal shithole with the HIGHEST intelligence personnel and 
witnessed horrors that you can't even imagine sir! Have you ever witnessed the 
world's largest institutionalized terrorist organization shoot helpless 
defenseless innocent children in their - OWN HOMELAND - just for sport or 
target practice? No of course not! Well - Mr. Bollinger - I HAVE! 

That BONA FIDE terrorist group is the IDF! They are the SAME killers that 
murdered and slaughtered over 200 of our sons brothers and father aboard the 
USS LIBERTY - and YOU - you hypocrite - you STILL proudly support these Godless 
anti-American murdering Jew scum! The SAME Jew scum that have turned MY beloved 
once decent country into a morally rotted corpse! There is not ONE SINGLE moral 
malady that has of more recent times 'infected ' this once great country that 
was not at the bequest, support and finance of the Jew - NOT ONE! 

YOU SIR - are the perfect example of the 'domestic' enemy of MY country and 
those who would jeopardize the safety of MY children and grandchildren. DAMN 
YOU TO HELL SIR! - DAMN YOU TO HELL! May almighty God punish you for your lies, 
false witness, duplicity and hypocrisy - and send you to the most forlorn 
corner of hell to rot for all eternity! 

YOU - are the quintessential 'domestic enemy' that I took that solemn oath so 
many years ago - to defend this country against! YOU and your ilk ARE the EXACT 
reason why we are now the most feared and hated nation on earth. When you lay 
on your death bed and are struggling for your last breath - I want you to NEVER 
forget this letter and the horrendous damage you have done to decent innocent 
mankind. Even worse - you were given the rare opportunity to do the right and

Ed Koch wrote, inter alia, in his blog - 
   
  Bollinger, a Jew himself, gave Ahmadinejad ammunition to be used among 
Islamic supporters that the battle at Columbia was primarily a battle between 
Islam and the Jews, and Ahmadinejad had bravely stood up to the mocking of the 
Jewish Bollinger. [***] All in all, it was a fiasco for America and a blunder 
by Bollinger, as well as a coup for Ahmadinejad.  -- Ed Koch - Koch's Comments 
In The Columbia Lion 
   
  This week the President of Columbia University, Lee Bollinger issued a 
prolonged ad hominem attack on his invited guest, the President of the Islamic 
Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in what should have been a cordial and 
academic discussion. Bollinger's personal attack followed an advisory to the 
students to be polite and respectful to their invited guest. The leaders of the 
university ought to have followed their own advice to their audience. 
   
  Koch noted that Bollinger designed his campaign of vilification around issues 
of more concern to Jews and Israelis, than to Americans in general. This made 
it all too obvious that it is primarily Jewry who want to attack Iran , and 
those who are not stupid will draw that obvious conclusion. 
  In the past, Jews were often excluded from European universities, in part 
because they had a reputation for being insulting, childish, uncivilized, 
intolerant, dogmatic, uninsightful, boorish, pushy, aggressive, clannish, 
corrupt, disloyal to the host nation, and meanspirited.

Ahmadinejad urges Western media not to tell lies about Iran! 
   
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged Western media Monday afternoon not 
to tell lies about Iran and come to see closely the existing situation in the 
country. 

Speaking to the Washington-based US National Press Club in a video-conference 
from New York, the Iranian president said, Iranians are the freest and the 
most intellectual nation in the world and are well informed of the daily news. 
  
Those who claim there is no freedom in Iran should visit the country and 
freely talk to the people so they could get a better understanding of the 
situation, said President Ahmadinejad who is here to address the United Nations 
General Assembly later on Tuesday. 

Referring to the heavy burden carried by the mass media in the contemporary 
world, the president said, Giving false information about Iran is far beyond 
the responsibility of mass media. As for women's status in Iran, President 
Ahmadinejad said, Iranian women are freest in the world and engaged in 
different scientific, social, media, political and artistic activities. 

Women contribute to 60 percent of Iran's university students and win medals at 
the international sports fields, the president stressed. 

Commenting on the issue of Iraq, he said that US wrong policies in the 
war-ravaged country have led to failure of US army operations in Iraq. 

As for Israel, President Ahmadinejad reiterated that Iran will not recognize 
the Zionist regime as it was established based on occupation, racism and 
threats. 
  
Why those who work in media do not protest to the Zionist regime for killing 
people and displacing them? asked the president. 

He further said Iran was opposed to the way that US dealt with the world. 

We are opposed to the way the US is managing the world considering it a wrong 
approach leading to war, discrimination and bloodshed, President Ahmadinejad 
stressed.

I think Iran's parliament is very accurate in their assessment of who the 
terrorists really are. Can you imagine the terror Iranians are experiencing 
right now knowing that at anytime the crazy lunatics in the US may nuclear 
attack their country??? Can you imagine the terror the average family must be

the devastation nearby for what the Americans have done in Iraq and 
Afghanistan? I am sure none of us would like to be in the shoes of an Iranian 
living in Iran at this time. The terror from the bully nation of America as a 
result of it's possession of superior weapons must be devastating to the 
Iranian hearts. Knowing that this superpower bully is eager to make any excuse 
to destroy them must be very worrying.
   
  But in all fairness the real terrorists are the Israelis. Not only have they 
been planning and preparing for an attack on Iran for  many years, they are the 
ONLY country who have been pushing the mighty US superpower to do so. Here are 
some links proving what they have been up to all along for several years now:

  Iran's parliament approves labeling CIA, U.S. Army terrorist groups
  By The Associated Press 
  Iran's parliament on Saturday approved a nonbinding resolution to label the 
CIA and the U.S. Army terrorist organizations. 

The move is seen as a diplomatic tit-for-tat after the U.S. Senate voted in 
favor of a resolution urging the State Department to designate Iran's Islamic 
Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. 

The aggressor U.S. Army and the Central Intelligence Agency are terrorists and 
also nurture terror, said a statement by the 215 lawmakers who signed the 
resolution at an open session of the Iranian parliament. The session was 
broadcast live on state-run radio.
  The hard-line dominated parliament said the two were terrorists, because they 
were involved in dropping nuclear bombs in Japan in World War II, used depleted 
uranium munitions in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq, supported the killings 
of Palestinians by Israel, bombed and killed Iraqi civilians and tortured 
terror suspects in prisons. 

The resolution, which is seen as a diplomatic offensive against the U.S., urges 
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government to treat the two as 
terrorist organizations. It also paves the way for the resolution to become 
legislation that - if ratified by the country's hard-line constitutional 
watchdog - would become law. The government is expected to remain silent over 
the parliament resolution and wait for U.S. reaction before making its 
decision. 

On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate voted 76-22 in favor of a resolution urging the 
State Department to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a 
terrorist organization. While the proposal attracted overwhelming bipartisan 
support, a small group of Democrats said they feared labeling the 
state-sponsored organization a terrorist group could be interpreted as a 
congressional authorization of military force in Iran. 

The Bush administration had already been considering whether to blacklist an 
elite unit within the Revolutionary Guard, subjecting part of the vast military 
operation to financial sanctions. 

The U.S. legislative push came a day after Ahmadinejad told world leaders at 
the United Nations General Assembly that his country would defy attempts to 
impose new sanctions by arrogant powers seeking to curb its nuclear program, 
accusing them of lying and imposing illegal penalties on his country. 

He said the nuclear issue was now closed as a political issue and Iran would 
pursue the monitoring of its nuclear program through its appropriate legal 
path, the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the UN's nuclear 
watchdog.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] How Barack Obama learned to love Israel!

2007-10-06 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

How Barack Obama learned to love Israel 
Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, Mar 4, 2007 

 (EI Illustration) 
I first met Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama almost ten 
years ago when, as my representative in the Illinois state senate, he came to 
speak at the University of Chicago. He impressed me as progressive, intelligent 
and charismatic. I distinctly remember thinking 'if only a man of this calibre 
could become president one day.'

On Friday Obama gave a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee 
(AIPAC) in Chicago. It had been much anticipated in American Jewish political 
circles which buzzed about his intensive efforts to woo wealthy pro-Israel 
campaign donors who up to now have generally leaned towards his main rival 
Senator Hillary Clinton.

Reviewing the speech, Ha'aretz Washington correspondent Shmuel Rosner concluded 
that Obama sounded as strong as Clinton, as supportive as Bush, as friendly as 
Giuliani. At least rhetorically, Obama passed any test anyone might have wanted 
him to pass. So, he is pro-Israel. Period.

Israel is our strongest ally in the region and its only established 
democracy, Obama said, assuring his audience that we must preserve our total 
commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding 
military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile 
defense programs. Such advanced multi-billion dollar systems he asserted, 
would help Israel deter missile attacks from as far as Tehran and as close as 
Gaza. As if the starved, besieged and traumatized population of Gaza are about 
to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles. 

Obama offered not a single word of criticism of Israel, of its relentless 
settlement and wall construction, of the closures that make life unlivable for 
millions of Palestinians.

There was no comfort for the hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza who live 
in the dark, or the patients who cannot get dialysis, because of what Israeli 
human rights group B'Tselem termed one cold, calculated decision, made by 
Israel's prime minister, defense minister, and IDF chief of staff last summer 
to bomb the only power plant in Gaza, a decision that had nothing to do with 
the attempts to achieve [the] release [of a captured soldier] nor any other 
military need. It was a gratuitous war crime, one of many condemned by human 
rights organizations, against an occupied civilian population who under the 
Fourth Geneva Convention Israel is obligated to protect.

 From left to right, Michelle Obama, then Illinois state senator 
Barack Obama, Columbia University Professor Edward Said and Mariam Said at a 
May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Edward Said gave the keynote 
speech. (Image from archives of Ali Abunimah) 
While constantly emphasizing his concern about the threat Israelis face from 
Palestinians, Obama said nothing about the exponentially more lethal threat 
Israelis present to Palestinians. In 2006, according to B'Tselem, Israeli 
occupation forces killed 660 Palestinians of whom 141 were children -- triple 
the death toll for 2005. In the same period, 23 Israelis were killed by 
Palestinians, half the number of 2005 (by contrast, 500 Israelis die each year 
in road accidents).

But Obama was not entirely insensitive to ordinary lives. He recalled a January 
2006 visit to the Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona that resembled an ordinary 
American suburb where he could imagine the sounds of Israeli children at 
joyful play just like my own daughters. He saw a home the Israelis told him 
was damaged by a Hizbullah rocket (no one had been hurt in the incident).

Six months later, Obama said, Hizbullah launched four thousand rocket attacks 
just like the one that destroyed the home in Kiryat Shmona, and kidnapped 
Israeli service members.

Obama's phrasing suggests that Hizbullah launched thousands of rockets in an 
unprovoked attack, but it's a complete distortion. Throughout his speech he 
showed a worrying propensity to present discredited propaganda as fact. As 
anyone who checks the chronology of last summer's Lebanon war will easily 
discover, Hizbullah only launched lethal barrages of rockets against Israeli 
towns and cities after Israel had heavily bombed civilian neighborhoods in 
Lebanon killing hundreds of civilians, many fleeing the Israeli onslaught. 

Obama excoriated Hizbullah for using innocent people as shields. Indeed, 
after dozens of civilians were massacred in an Israeli air attack on Qana on 
July 30, Israel initially claimed that the military targeted the house because 
Hezbollah fighters had fired rockets from the area, according to an August 2 
statement from Human Rights Watch. 

The statement added: Human Rights Watch researchers who visited Qana on July 
31, the day after the attack, did not find any destroyed military equipment in 
or near the home. Similarly, none of the dozens of international journalists,

made that some consider anti-Semitic. Now it's official: winning the Nobel 
Peace Prize doesn't protect you from charges of anti-Semitism if you criticize 
Israeli human rights practices. Neither, apparently, does being one of the most 
compelling voices for social justice in the world today, or even getting an 
honorary degree from and giving the commencement address at Brandeis. 

Minneapolis/St.Paul's City Pages just reported that members of the St Thomas 
Justice and Peace Studies program were thrilled when Bishop Tutu agreed to 
speak at the University but administrators did a scientific survey of the Jews 
of Minneapolis, which included querying exactly one spokesperson for 
Minnesota's Jewish Community Relations Council and several rabbis who taught in 
a University program and concluded that Tutu is bad for the Jews and should 
therefore be barred from campus. 

 in a move that still has faculty members shaking their heads in disbelief, 
St. Thomas administrators--concerned that Tutu's appearance might offend local 
Jews--told organizers that a visit from the archbishop was out of the question. 

We had heard some things he said that some people judged to be anti-Semitic 
and against Israeli policy, says Doug Hennes, St. Thomas's vice president for 
university and government relations. We're not saying he's anti-Semitic. But 
he's compared the state of Israel to Hitler and our feeling was that making 
moral equivalencies like that are hurtful to some members of the Jewish 
community. 

St. Thomas officials made this inference after Hennes talked to Julie Swiler, a 
spokeswoman for the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the 
Dakotas. I told him that I'd run across some statements that were of concern 
to me, says Swiler. In a 2002 speech in Boston, he made some comments that 
were especially hurtful. 

Just to send the message home, Swiler says: 

I think there's a consensus in the Jewish community that his words were 
offensive. 
To be clear here, Swiler and the other rabbis have the right to say whatever 
they think, though representing those opinions, as Swiler does, as a Jewish 
consensus, is laughable. 

Ultimately, groups like Minnesota's JCRC, the right wing fringe group Zionist 
Organization of America, and the increasingly embarrassing Anti-Defamation 
League, who have all attacked Tutu for his criticism of Israeli policies, will 
face the consequences of smearing Tutu -- a hero to millions and leader of a 
movement that was known for the massively disproportionate involvement of 
numerous South African Jews. 

But it's the craven behavior of the administrators of St. Thomas that will 
likely be a mark of shame for years to come. While it's understandable, given 
the Church's history of virulent anti-Semitism, that a Catholic institution 
would be extra sensitive about relations with Jews, it's not clear here that 
there was any real pressure to cave in to. Did groups threaten to picket? Who 
knows what administrators were thinking? 

Regardless, the backlash has already begun. Marv Davidov, an adjunct professor 
within the Justice and Peace Studies program said: 

As a Jew who experienced real anti-Semitism as a child, I'm deeply disturbed 
that a man like Tutu could be labeled anti-Semitic and silenced like this, he 
says. I deeply resent the Israeli lobby trying to silence any criticism of its 
policy. It does a great disservice to Israel and to all Jews. 

To make matters worse, when Cris Toffolo, the chair of the Justice and Peace 
Studies program told Tutu what happened and warned him of a possible smear 
campaign, she was immediately demoted. 

Davidov again: 


This is pure bullshit, says Davidov. As far as fighting for civil rights, I 
consider Tutu to be my brother. And I consider Cris Toffolo to be my sister. 
They're messing with my family here. If Columbia permits a Holocaust denier 
[Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] to speak at their university, why are 
St. Thomas officials refusing to let Tutu, an apostle of nonviolence, speak at 
ours? 

What happened at the University of St. Thomas is not an isolated event, says 
Toffolo. Until we have an honest debate about U.S. policy related to Israel, 
and about Israeli policy in the Occupied Territories, the spiral of violence 
will continue. 
Why Tutu? Why now? Are his statements anti-Semitic? 

Bishop Tutu is closely associated with Sabeel, a Jerusalem based Christian 
liberation theology organization started by Palestinian Anglican pastor Rev. 
Naim Ateek. Sabeel is an international peace movement initiated by Palestinian 
Christians in the Holy Land who seek a just peace based on two states-Palestine 
and Israel-as defined by international law

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Iranian Jews Support Iran and Refuse To Relocate To Israel!

2007-10-07 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

According to the New York-based Forward newspaper, a campaign to convince 
Iranian Jews to emigrate to Israel caused only 152 out of these 25,000 Jews to 
leave Iran between October 2005 and September 2006, and most of them were said 
to have emigrated for economic reasons, not political ones.

To step up these efforts -- and presumably to avoid the embarrassing 
incongruence of claiming an imminent second Holocaust while thousands of Jews 
live happily in Tehran -- Israel is now backing a move by Jewish donors to 
guarantee every Iranian Jewish family $60,000 to settle in Israel, in addition 
to a host of existing financial incentives that are offered to Jewish 
immigrants, including loans and cheap mortgages. 

The announcement was met with scorn by the Society of Iranian Jews, which 
issued a statement that their national identity was not for sale. The identity 
of Iranian Jews is not tradeable for any amount of money. Iranian Jews are 
among the most ancient Iranians. Irans Jews love their Iranian identity and 
their culture, so threats and this immature political enticement will not 
achieve their aim of wiping out the identity of Iranian Jews.

   
  Israels Jewish problem in Tehran
So why hasnt Iran started by wiping its own Jews off the map? 
By Jonathan Cook 
August 3, 2007
  
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18116.htm

Iran is the new Nazi Germany and its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the new 
Hitler. Or so Israeli officials have been declaring for months as they and 
their American allies try to persuade the doubters in Washington that an attack 
on Tehran is essential. And if the latest media reports are to be trusted, it 
looks like they may again be winning the battle for hearts and minds: 
Vice-President Dick Cheney is said to be diverting the White House back on 
track to launch a military strike.

Earlier this year Binyamin Netanyahu, Israels opposition leader and the man 
who appears to be styling himself scaremonger-in-chief, told us: Its 1938 and 
Iran is Germany. And Iran is racing to arm itself with atomic bombs. Of 
Ahmadinejad, he said: He is preparing another Holocaust for the Jewish state.

A few weeks ago, as Israels military intelligence claimed -- as it has been 
doing regularly since the early 1990s -- that Iran is only a year or so away 
from the point of no return on developing a nuclear warhead, Netanyahu was at 
it again. Iran could be the first undeterrable nuclear power, he warned, 
adding: This is a Jewish problem like Hitler was a Jewish problem  The future 
of the Jewish people depends on the future of Israel.


But Netanyahu has been far from alone in making extravagant claims about a 
looming genocide from Iran. Israels new president, Shimon Peres, has compared 
an Iranian nuclear bomb to a flying concentration camp. And the prime 
minister, Ehud Olmert, told a German newspaper last year: [Ahmadinejad] speaks 
as Hitler did in his time of the extermination of the entire Jewish nation.

There is an interesting problem with selling the Iran as Nazi Germany line. 
If Ahmadinejad really is Hitler, ready to commit genocide against Israels Jews 
as soon as he can get his hands on a nuclear weapon, why are some 25,000 Jews 
living peacefully in Iran and more than reluctant to leave despite repeated 
enticements from Israel and American Jews?

What is the basis for Israels dire forecasts -- the ideological scaffolding 
being erected, presumably, to justify an attack on Iran? Helpfully, as George 
Bush defended his Iraq policies last month, he reminded us yet again of the 
menace Iran supposedly poses: it is threatening to wipe Israel off the map. 

This myth has been endlessly recycled since a translating error was made of a 
speech Ahmadinejad delivered nearly two years ago. Farsi experts have verified 
that the Iranian president, far from threatening to destroy Israel, was quoting 
from an earlier speech by the late Ayatollah Khomeini in which he reassured 
supporters of the Palestinians that the Zionist regime in Jerusalem would 
vanish from the page of time.

He was not threatening to exterminate Jews or even Israel. He was comparing 
Israels occupation of the Palestinians with other illegitimate systems of rule 
whose time had passed, including the Shahs who once ruled Iran, apartheid South 
Africa and the Soviet empire. Nonetheless, this erroneous translation has 
survived and prospered because Israel and her supporters have exploited it for 
their own crude propaganda purposes. 

In the meantime, the 25,000-strong Iranian Jewish community is the largest in 
the Middle East outside Israel and traces its roots back 3,000 years. As one of 
several non-Muslim minorities in Iran, Jews there suffer discrimination, but 
they are certainly no worse off than the one million Palestinian citizens of 
Israel -- and far better off than Palestinians under Israeli occupation in the 
West Bank and Gaza. 

Iranian Jews have little

  Bloodshed rises in Pakistan as 
  U.S. pushes regime to attack IslamistsBy Deirdre Griswold 
  Published Nov 2, 2007 11:49 PM 
   
  More and more, the Pakistani people are being drawn into U.S. imperialisms 
bloody wars and occupations against their will.
   
  The last week in October, the Islamabad government of President Gen. Pervez 
Musharraf, the military dictator who is frequently described in the press as a 
key ally in the U.S. war on terror, sent 2,500 troops into the Swat Valley 
near Pakistans northwest frontier with Afghanistan. The area is said to be a 
stronghold of Pakistani religious leaders who sympathize with the fight of the 
Taliban in Afghanistan against occupation by the U.S. and its allies.
   
  Dozens of soldiers, civilians and religious fighters called militants in 
the Western media were killed in several violent clashes. One news account said 
Pakistani forces, backed by helicopters, had traded fire with militants who 
were using rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and other weapons. (AP, Oct. 27)
   
  A later account told of thousands of civilians fleeing from the area, where, 
on Oct. 28, Security forces backed by helicopter gunships pounded militant 
hideouts in the mountains. (AP, Oct. 29)
   
  Just one week earlier, the Pentagon had handed over 30 helicopters to the 
Musharraf regime, the latest installment in more than $6 billion worth of 
security-related assistance given to the Pakistan military by the U.S. 
government since 2001.
   
  Bush had sent his national intelligence director, the notorious John 
Negroponte, to Pakistan in January to pressure Musharraf to go on the offensive 
against the militant Islamic opposition. In July, government forces stormed the 
Lal Masjid mosque right in central Islamabad, killing hundreds of Islamic 
teachers and students opposed to Musharraf and his alliance with Washington.
   
  Yet far from being intimidated, the influence of the Islamic militants has 
been growing, especially in the northwest, where the population is very aware 
of the brutal war being carried out against their neighbors in Afghanistan and 
can sometimes hear the roar of U.S. jet planes as they unload their deadly 
bombs.
   
  Can cynical deal survive a massacre?
  At the same time, Washington has been trying to popularize the image of the 
Musharraf regime without losing the services of Musharraf, who heads the large 
and nuclear-armed Pakistani army and first took power in 1999 in a coup. It has 
been brokering a power-sharing deal whereby Musharraf would accept a coalition 
with Benazir Bhutto, the multi-millionaire head of the Pakistan Peoples Party, 
who recently returned from exile.
   
  The administration concluded over the summer that a power-sharing deal with 
Ms. Bhutto might be the only way that General Musharraf could keep from being 
toppled, wrote the New York Times bluntly on Oct. 20.
   
  As part of the deal, Musharraf promised Bhutto, a former prime minister, that 
corruption charges against her and her family would be dropped on her return. 
However, as the newly arrived politician moved in a car caravan through the 
streets of Karachi on Oct. 18, where some 150,000 people had assembled to greet 
her, powerful bomb blasts ripped through the crowd. Bhutto barely escaped; more 
than 150 people, including 50 from her security detail, were killed and more 
than 500 others severely wounded in a scene of utter carnage.
   
  Almost all Western news accounts blame the bombings on Al Qaeda, but that 
does not seem to be the view of most Pakistanis. While few had a clear picture 
of what caused the explosions, wrote a reporter who interviewed survivors, 
overwhelmingly, they believed that the government was to blame for the 
attacks, and few blamed Al Qaeda or other Islamist militant groups. (New York 
Times, Oct. 20)
   
  Bhutto herself, while she did not directly blame the regime, said that very 
powerful figures were behind the assassination attempt and that the government 
had not given her proper security. (BBC News, Oct. 23)
   
  Thus, Washingtons efforts to bolster a pro-U.S. regime in Pakistan by 
bringing Bhutto backa scheme in which Negroponte, U.S. Secretary of State 
Condoleezza Rice and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Zalmay Khalilzad all 
personally participatedmay already have boomeranged.
   
  While the corruption of Bhutto and her husband is legendary, and they are 
accused of salting away hundreds of million of dollars in Swiss banks, her 
return unleashed a wave of popular anger at the regime, which was only 
heightened by the assassination attempt that killed so many people.
   
  Facing quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush administration is 
desperate to stabilize Musharraf politically while forcing him to use his 
military more vigorously against the rising anti-U.S. movement. But many in the 
imperialist foreign policy establishment think it wont work. This backroom 
deal I think is going

Bismillah [IslamCity] Police: Jewish GW Student Admits Putting Swastikas On Her Door!

2007-11-07 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

WASHINGTON -- George Washington University officials said a Jewish student who  
complained about swastikas showing up on her door put them there herself.  

The student lives in Mitchell Hall, where half a dozen swastikas had  shown up 
on her dorm room door in the past several weeks. 

University  police set up a hidden camera. They said the girl admitted 
responsibility  Monday. 

News 4 interviewed the student last week after the fifth  swastika was 
discovered. She did not want to be identified. 

It's a big  story, said Jake Sherman, GW Hatchet editor. Thirty percent of 
GW students are  Jewish 

Reporters at the GW Hatchet newspaper have been following the  story since it 
began. They said they learned on Monday morning that the alleged  victim would 
likely be implicated. 

They said they spoke to her twice by  phone. 

According to reporters at the newspaper, the student said, I  wasn't looking 
to create this sort of insanity. I wasn't looking to become a  media darling. I 
was just looking for acknowledgment from the university that  someone drew a 
swastika on the door. 

The student now faces disciplinary  action from the school and could face 
criminal charges.

I don't know why they don't just state that she was caught on  camera and had 
to admit her guilt? 

What is very revealing to me is the  mindset of this young Jewish girl. At such 
a young age she already has a mindset  for pulling off false flag operations to 
have others blamed for her actions. Not  only that but supremely playing the 
aggrieved victim role with the mainstream  media towing the line. This just 
shows that many Jews are raised from a young  age to commit egregious acts 
against themselves and have others be blamed for  them. They need to perpetuate 
an eternal victim role and they understand  psychology well enough to reach the 
goyim hearts. They are expert at false flag  operations and have been raised to 
have no qualms about doing them. I don't know  of any other group of people who 
does this as much as they do and have been  caught as many times 

Although this may be a small  act, it gives us a glimpse of what happens on the 
big scale. The hidden camera  happened to catch this Jewish girl but what if we 
had hidden cameras captuing  the planning and execution of 9/11 by Jewish false 
flag experts. It would have  been nice to have hidden cameras capturing the 
discussions from Neocons and  Israeli leadership regarding 9/11. I wonder if 
they too would admit after being  caught? But to be totally accurate they have 
been caught in real life carrying  out false flag operations to blame others as 
in the Lavon Affair, USS Liberty  attack, desecrating synagogues in Iraq, 
attempting to blow up the Mexican  congress with Pakistani passports in their 
possession, etc. 

This Jewish  girl story gives us a nice revealing insight into their perverse 
mentality. It  also shows us at such an early age they are groomed to commit 
false flag  operations to perpetuate their eternal victim role. Afterall it was 
one of them  who also invented the fantastic lie about Ahmadinejad wanting to 
wipe Israel  off the map. That lie is no different than what this Jewish girl 
got caught  doing. All in service of creating an eternal victim role for 
Israel.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Attacking Iran for Israel?

2007-11-08 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Attacking   Iran for Israel?By RAY McGOVERN
   
Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice is   at her mushroom-cloud 
hyperbolic best, and this time Iran is   the target.  Her claim last week 
that the policies of Iran   constitute perhaps the single greatest 
challenge to American   security interests in the Middle East and around 
the world   is simply too much of a stretch.
To gauge someone's reliability,   one depends largely on prior 
experience.  Sadly, Rice's credibility   suffers in comparison with 
Mohammed ElBaradei, head of the International   Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA).  Basing his judgment on the findings   of IAEA inspectors in Iran, 
ElBaradei reports that there is no   evidence of an active nuclear weapons 
program there.
If this sounds familiar it   is, in fact, déjà vu.  ElBaradei said 
the same   thing about Iraq before it was attacked.  But three days before  
 the invasion, American nuclear expert Dick Cheney told NBC's   Tim 
Russert, I think Mr. ElBaradei is, frankly, wrong.
Here we go again.  As in the   case of Iraq, US intelligence has 
been assiduously looking for   evidence of a nuclear weapons program in 
Iran; but, alas, in   vain.  Burned by the bogus proof adduced for 
Iraq-the   uranium from Africa, the aluminum tubes-the administration has   
shied away from fabricating nuclear-related evidence.Are Bush and 
Cheney again relying on the Rumsfeld dictum, that   the absence of 
evidence is not evidence of absence?There is a simpler answer.

   Cat   Out of the Bag
The Israeli ambassador to the   US, Sallai Meridor, let the cat out 
of the bag while speaking   at the American Jewish Committee luncheon on 
Oct. 22.  In remarks   paralleling those of Rice, Meridor said Iran is the 
chief threat   to Israel.  Heavy on the chutzpah, he then served gratuitous 
  notice on Washington that countering Iran's nuclear ambitions   will 
take a united United States in this matter,   lest the Iranians conclude, 
come January '09, they have   it their own way.
Meridor stressed that very   little time remained to keep Iran 
from obtaining nuclear   weapons.  How so?  Even were there to be a nuclear 
program hidden   from the IAEA, no serious observer expects Iran to obtain 
a nuclear   weapon much sooner than five years from now.
Truth be told, every other   year since 1995 US intelligence has 
been predicting that Iran   could have a nuclear weapon in about five 
years.  It has become   downright embarrassing-like a broken record, 
punctuated only   by so-called neo-conservatives like James Woolsey,  
 who in August publicly warned that the U.S. may have no choice   but to 
bomb Iran in order to halt Tehran's nuclear weapons program.
Woolsey, self-described anchor   of the Presbyterian wing of the 
Jewish Institute for National   Security Affairs, put it this way:  I'm 
afraid that   within, well, at worst, a few months; at best, a few years; 
they   [the Iranians] could have the bomb.
The day before Ambassador Meridor's   unintentionally revealing 
remark, Vice President Dick Cheney   reiterated, We will not allow Iran to 
have a nuclear weapon.That remark followed closely on President George 
W. Bush's apocalyptic   warning of World War III, should Tehran acquire the 
knowledge   to produce a nuclear weapon.
The Israelis appear convinced   they have extracted a promise from 
Bush and Cheney that they   will help Israel nip Iran's nuclear program in 
the bud before   they leave office.  That is why the Israeli ambassador 
says there   is very little time-less than 15 months.
Never mind that there is no   evidence that the Iranian nuclear 
program is any more weapons-related   than the one Cheney and Donald 
Rumsfeld persuaded President Gerald   Ford to approve in 1976.  
Westinghouse and General Electric successfully   lobbied for approval to 
sell the Shah for $6.4 billion the kind   of nuclear facilities that Iran 
is now building, but the deal   fell through when the Shah was ousted in 
1979.
With 200-300 nuclear weapons   in its arsenal, the Israelis enjoy a 
nuclear monopoly in the   Middle East.  They mean to keep that monopoly and 
Israel's current   leaders are pressing for the US to obliterate Iran's 
fledgling   nuclear program.
Anyone aware of Iran's ability   to retaliate realizes this would 
bring disaster to the whole   region and beyond.  But this has not stopped 
Cheney and Bush   in the past.  And the real rationale is reminiscent of 
the one   revealed by Philip Zelikow, confidant of Condoleezza Rice, former 
  member of the President's Foreign Intelligence

  Case dropped against 'terrorism trainee' 

Posted Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:29am AEDT 
Updated 11 hours 56 minutes ago 

A Sydney judge has described as grossly improper and unlawful the conduct of 
two ASIO officers who interviewed a former medical student accused of training 
with a terrorist organisation. 

The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions dropped all charges against 
Izhar ul-Haque today. 

Mr ul-Haque had pleaded not guilty to a charge of receiving combat and weapons 
training from Lashkar-e-Toiba in Pakistan four years ago. 

Earlier this month, New South Wales Supreme Court judge Michael Adams ruled 
that interviews with the 21-year-old were inadmissible because of the conduct 
of ASIO and Australian Federal Police officers involved. 

The court heard ASIO officers took Mr ul-Haque to a park in western Sydney and 
later questioned him in his bedroom. 

Justice Adams said Mr ul-Haque was told he had to cooperate when the officers 
knew they did not have the legal right to detain him. 

He accused one officer of false imprisonment and kidnapping and the other of 
detaining for advantage. 

A jury had not yet been empanelled in the trial. 

'Political show trial' 

Outside the court, Mr ul-Haque's lawyer, Adam Houda, described the case as 
purely political. 

This has been a moronic prosecution right from the start, he said. 

The terror laws were introduced supposedly to capture terrorists, not 
brilliant young men like Izhar ul-Haque. 

From the beginning this was no more than a political show trial designed to 
justify the billions of dollars spent on counter-terrorism. 

Mr Houda also likened his client's case to that of Indian doctor Mohammed 
Haneef. who had his terrorism-related charge dropped earlier in the year. 

It's been one bungled prosecution after another. We've all seen the 
disgraceful conduct afforded against Doctor Haneef and today you've heard the 
disgraceful conduct against my client, he said. 

A spokesman for ASIO says the agency will leave it up to federal 
Attorney-General Philip Ruddock to comment on the case being dropped. 

Review urged 

But the Australian Council for Civil Liberties says the dropping of charges 
indicates a problem with ASIO's administration. 

The council's president, Terry O'Gorman, says both major political parties need 
to immediately promise a review of the organisation because it is becoming 
increasingly unaccountable. 

While clearly ASIO has to be given the power to conduct inquiries into 
terrorism activity, particularly within Australia, it should do so within the 
law, he said. 

The fact that this criticism has been made is a worry. 

This particular case problem has got to be confronted and it's got to be the 
subject of a serious review.  

Mr O'Gorman says the next federal government must set up independent monitoring 
of the counter-terrorism activities of ASIO and the AFP. 

There should be an independent terrorism reviewer, he said. 

Terrorism laws are draconian. If judges are finding that ASIO operatives are 
breaking even these draconian laws, which favour ASIO as against the 
individual, then something serious needs to be done about it.

Make no mistake. The Americans are enemies 
___
 The only factor that matters is appeasement: appeasing our enemies on both 
sides of the line - the Americans and the Arabs.  Make no mistake. The 
Americans are enemies. Under the leadership of Condoleezza Rice and Bush (in 
that order), the United States has been transformed into one of Israel's most 
dangerous foes. The policies being forced down our throats, including 
abandonment of virtually all of Judea and Samaria, as well as Jerusalem, is 
only the beginning. The Golan Heights are not far behind.

 The hard-core Zionists are crying in their Mogan David wine, even thinking the

 Zionist anger could turn into a rage that won't be quelled by oodles and

Bismillah [IslamCity] Meet the Only Two Candidates Worse Than Bush and Cheney!

2007-12-06 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Meet the Only Two Candidates Worse Than Bush and Cheney 
Rudy or Hillary: Pick Your Poison 
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS 
 
In new books writers as disparate as Naomi Wolf and Pat Buchanan conclude that 
America as we know her is disappearing. Both writers hope, but are not 
confident, that enough Americans will catch on in time to find the leadership 
to pull America back from the brink. 
 
If polls are reliable, a majority of Americans are dissatisfied with President 
Bush and Congress. However, Americans are far short of Wolf and Buchanan's 
grasp of our peril. 
 
Americans are unable to connect their dissatisfaction with the current 
political leadership with their choice of new leaders. All polls show that 
Hillary Clinton is far in the lead for the Democratic presidential nomination 
and Rudy Giuliani is far in the lead for the Republican nomination These are 
the only two candidates guaranteed to be worse than Bush/Cheney. 
 
Both Hillary and Rudy are committed to the war. Both refuse to rule out 
expanding the war to Iran and beyond. Both are totally in the pocket of the 
Israel Lobby. Indeed, practically every Giuliani advisor is a member of the 
Lobby. Both defend the police state measures that protect us from terrorism. 
And neither gives a hoot for the US Constitution and the civil liberties it 
guarantees. The Republican Giuliani is likely to overturn the Second Amendment 
even quicker than the Democrat Hillary. 
 
Both Hillary and Rudy are creatures of ambition, not of principle. Both are one 
up on Karl Marx. Marx said truth serves class interests. For Hillary and Rudy, 
truth is what serves their individual interests. They both wear black hats, and 
the horse they ride is called power. 
 
Yet in November polls, Republicans prefer Giuliani by a margin of five or six 
to one over Ron Paul, the only principled Republican candidate and a person who 
without any doubt believes in the Constitution and would protect it. 
 
Democrats prefer Hillary by a margin of twenty to one over Dennis Kucinich, the 
only member of Congress sufficiently concerned and courageous to introduce 
impeachment against the notorious war criminal Dick Cheney. By margins as much 
as forty-four to one, Democrats prefer Hillary to Senator Christopher Dodd, who 
promises to give America back its Constitution in the first hour of his 
administration. Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel does not even register in the 
polls. 
 
Obviously, the American people haven't a clue. In November 2007 they show a 
distinct preference for leaders who are even worse than the ones with whom they 
are currently dissatisfied. What does this tell us about the American people 
and their commitment to be sufficiently informed for democracy to function? 
 
It tells us that they are not up to the challenge. It is only a matter of time 
before America succumbs to the plutocracy, against which Warren Buffet recently 
warned Congress, or the fascist tyranny that Naomi Wolf sees in our future.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Mike Huckabee, Christian Zionist

2008-01-06 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Because of Huckabee's win on the Republican side of the Iowa caucuses, 
reading the following article is worthwhile.
Huckabee's proposals amount to ethnic cleansing of Palestine
   View full size

by Rev. Stan Moody*, Christian Policy Institute, December 16, 2007   
Orthodox Jews love him. The Christian Right loves him. The LaHayes (authors of 
the Left Behind series) love him. Tele-Zionist John Hagee loves him.   
It is not because Gov. Huckabee is not a Mormon that they all love him. It is 
because his foreign policy as President will be to put the finishing touches on 
the Bush Doctrine in the Middle East.   
In a nutshell, Huckabee is a Rapturist. Ill explain.   
Belief in the Rapture is predominant within Evangelical circles. It has no 
biblical support except by inference. It finds no place in the early history of 
the Christian Church and is based primarily on a prophetic interpretation 
developed in England in the mid 19th Century. Its architect was John Nelson 
Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren movement, a fundamentalist Christian 
sect that came out of Dublin, Ireland in the 1820s. Darby published some 50 
books on his unique interpretations of the New Testament.   
Darbys doctrine, known as Premillennial Dispensationalism, was expanded in 
1909 through the publication of the Scofield Desk Reference Bible, a Bible with 
extensive footnotes all screened through the lens of two future returns of 
Jesus to earth.   
The first return will be in the form of the physical resurrection of all true 
Christians, who will disappear from the earth in a single moment to join Jesus 
in the skies. That is referred to as the Rapture. For seven years to follow, 
the earth will be in a period of Satanic upheaval, building to a final 
Apocalypse in the Valley of Meggido (Armageddon), whereupon Christ will 
descend onto the Mount of Olives with His raptured saints, defeat the armies of 
Satan (including the Roman Catholic Church) and set up a physical throne in 
Jerusalem to reign for 1,000 years.   
There have been variations on that theme, but the physical return of Jesus to 
greater Israel has remained intact. In the US, the Dallas Theological Seminary, 
the flagship Southern Baptist pastoral training center, has been the breeding 
ground for the American Rapturist movement.   
In this scenario, the Jews remain the apple of Gods eye, the land promised to 
the patriarch Abraham being their inheritance. In the seven-year period of 
Satanic upheaval (referred to as the Great Tribulation), the land at least from 
the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River must be secured for Israel. Solomons 
Temple will be rebuilt, 144,000 Jews will be converted to Christ, there will be 
a bloodbath of monumental proportions, and peace will be restored.   
Support of Israels expanded borders, therefore, becomes non-negotiable for 
American Evangelicals who subscribe to this dogma. There is a long history of 
Evangelicals funding illegal settlements on the West Bank and in Gaza. 
Recently, Tele-Zionist, John Hagee, has consolidated these cultists into an 
organization called Christians United for Israel (CUFI), applauded not only 
by President George W. Bush but by such luminaries as Joe Lieberman, Tom DeLay 
and Presidential candidate John McCain.   
Huckabee on Israel and Palestine 

On October 15, 2007, Huckabee gave a stump speech at the home of New Hampshire 
State Representative Jason Bedrick, the first Orthodox Jew elected to the New 
Hampshire House of Representatives.[1] In that speech, he staked out the 
following: 
   He supports the creation of a Palestinian state   
   He believes that such a state should be formed outside Israel.   
   He suggested Saudi Arabia and Egypt as prospects for such a state, noting 
that the Arabs have far more land than the Israelis and that it would only be 
fair for them to give land for a state rather than carving it out of the tiny 
Israeli state   
   He stands against the creation of a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem, 
thus tacitly supporting the seizing of the Temple Mount by Israel, the third 
most sacred Moslem site in the world   
   He has stood against any pullback of illegal settlements on the Golan 
Heights and the West Bank.[2]
  By re-defining the boundaries of Israel to be vastly outside those officially 
recognized by international law, Huckabee unmasks himself to be a Christian 
Zionist.   
By offering a solution not unlike that envisioned by 19th century Americans to 
the slavery question and carried out against Native Americans, Huckabee 
essentially dehumanizes the Palestinians and proposes to transport them 
elsewhere.   
I accuse him, therefore, of being an advocate for the ethnic cleansing of 
Palestine. Here is his long-range view: If you are with Jesus Christ, we know 
how it turns out in the final moment. Ive read the last chapter in the book, 
and we do end up winning.[3]   
As an evangelical pastor and theologian,

Bismillah [IslamCity] How Barack Obama learned to love Israel!

2008-01-22 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

How Barack Obama learned to love Israel 
Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 4 March 2007 

 (EI Illustration) 
I first met Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama almost ten 
years ago when, as my representative in the Illinois state senate, he came to 
speak at the University of Chicago. He impressed me as progressive, intelligent 
and charismatic. I distinctly remember thinking 'if only a man of this calibre 
could become president one day.'

On Friday Obama gave a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee 
(AIPAC) in Chicago. It had been much anticipated in American Jewish political 
circles which buzzed about his intensive efforts to woo wealthy pro-Israel 
campaign donors who up to now have generally leaned towards his main rival 
Senator Hillary Clinton.

Reviewing the speech, Ha'aretz Washington correspondent Shmuel Rosner concluded 
that Obama sounded as strong as Clinton, as supportive as Bush, as friendly as 
Giuliani. At least rhetorically, Obama passed any test anyone might have wanted 
him to pass. So, he is pro-Israel. Period.

Israel is our strongest ally in the region and its only established 
democracy, Obama said, assuring his audience that we must preserve our total 
commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding 
military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile 
defense programs. Such advanced multi-billion dollar systems he asserted, 
would help Israel deter missile attacks from as far as Tehran and as close as 
Gaza. As if the starved, besieged and traumatized population of Gaza are about 
to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles. 

Obama offered not a single word of criticism of Israel, of its relentless 
settlement and wall construction, of the closures that make life unlivable for 
millions of Palestinians.

There was no comfort for the hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza who live 
in the dark, or the patients who cannot get dialysis, because of what Israeli 
human rights group B'Tselem termed one cold, calculated decision, made by 
Israel's prime minister, defense minister, and IDF chief of staff last summer 
to bomb the only power plant in Gaza, a decision that had nothing to do with 
the attempts to achieve [the] release [of a captured soldier] nor any other 
military need. It was a gratuitous war crime, one of many condemned by human 
rights organizations, against an occupied civilian population who under the 
Fourth Geneva Convention Israel is obligated to protect.

 From left to right, Michelle Obama, then Illinois state senator 
Barack Obama, Columbia University Professor Edward Said and Mariam Said at a 
May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago at which Edward Said gave the keynote 
speech. (Image from archives of Ali Abunimah) 
While constantly emphasizing his concern about the threat Israelis face from 
Palestinians, Obama said nothing about the exponentially more lethal threat 
Israelis present to Palestinians. In 2006, according to B'Tselem, Israeli 
occupation forces killed 660 Palestinians of whom 141 were children -- triple 
the death toll for 2005. In the same period, 23 Israelis were killed by 
Palestinians, half the number of 2005 (by contrast, 500 Israelis die each year 
in road accidents).

But Obama was not entirely insensitive to ordinary lives. He recalled a January 
2006 visit to the Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona that resembled an ordinary 
American suburb where he could imagine the sounds of Israeli children at 
joyful play just like my own daughters. He saw a home the Israelis told him 
was damaged by a Hizbullah rocket (no one had been hurt in the incident).

Six months later, Obama said, Hizbullah launched four thousand rocket attacks 
just like the one that destroyed the home in Kiryat Shmona, and kidnapped 
Israeli service members.

Obama's phrasing suggests that Hizbullah launched thousands of rockets in an 
unprovoked attack, but it's a complete distortion. Throughout his speech he 
showed a worrying propensity to present discredited propaganda as fact. As 
anyone who checks the chronology of last summer's Lebanon war will easily 
discover, Hizbullah only launched lethal barrages of rockets against Israeli 
towns and cities after Israel had heavily bombed civilian neighborhoods in 
Lebanon killing hundreds of civilians, many fleeing the Israeli onslaught. 

Obama excoriated Hizbullah for using innocent people as shields. Indeed, 
after dozens of civilians were massacred in an Israeli air attack on Qana on 
July 30, Israel initially claimed that the military targeted the house because 
Hezbollah fighters had fired rockets from the area, according to an August 2 
statement from Human Rights Watch. 

The statement added: Human Rights Watch researchers who visited Qana on July 
31, the day after the attack, did not find any destroyed military equipment in 
or near the home. Similarly, none of the dozens of international journalists,

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israel launches new satellite to spy on Iran!

2008-01-23 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Guardan (UK)
   
  Israel today launched a powerful spy satellite to keep watch on Iran, its 
main threat in the region. 

The TecSar satellite has an advanced radar system that should allow Israeli 
intelligence officials to gather material at night and in cloudy weather, a 
capacity beyond current Israeli satellites. 

Reportedly capable of imaging with a resolution of up to 10 centimetres, TecSar 
is considered crucial to enable Israel to track Iran's nuclear activities. 
Israel suspects Tehran of trying to develop nuclear weapons, despite 
conclusions to the contrary by US intelligence agencies. 

Last November, a US intelligence report stated that Iran had halted its nuclear 
weapons programme, a finding that undermined hawks in the US who had been 
pushing for a strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. 

Israel, however, has publicly disagreed with the US intelligence finding. 

Israel's most advanced satellite was sent into orbit by an Indian rocket from 
the Sriharikota launching range in south-east India. It was the first time an 
Israeli satellite had been launched by an Indian rocket. 

The decision to use an Indian vehicle was reached three years ago during a 
visit by the then defence ministry director-general Amos Yaron and marks 
growing Indian-Israeli cooperation. Two more satellites using Indian rockets 
are scheduled. 

The TecSar, manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), uses radar to 
identify targets. The use of radar marks a considerable advance on Israel's 
Ofek series of reconnaissance satellites that rely on cameras. 

According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the satellite, weighing some 300 
kilogrammes, was launched at 5:45am (3.45am GMT), and was successfully placed 
in orbit. 

Scientists and engineers are now conducting tests to check the systems and 
gauge their performance. First pictures from the satellite are expected within 
two weeks. 

The TecSar launch was postponed a number of times, largely due to weather 
conditions. 

Israel operates a number of reconnaissance satellites, including Ofek 5 and 
Ofek 7, as well as several commercial satellites, such as the Amos and Eros 
series. A total of 11 Israeli satellites have been placed in orbit, a number of 
them still operational. 

The TecSar is the first satellite of its kind developed in Israel, and ranks 
among the world's most advanced space systems, IAI said in a statement. 

The satellite includes an advanced imaging system based on synthetic aperture 
radar, or SAR, technology, the statement said. The development and launch cost 
tens of millions of dollars.

ACTION

We, the Israeli organizations signed below, deplore the decision by the
Israeli government to cut off vital supplies of electricity and fuel (and
therefore water, since the pumps cannot work), as well as essential foodstuffs,
medicines and other humanitarian supplies to the civilian population of Gaza.
Such an action constitutes a clear and unequivocal crime against humanity.
Prof. John Dugard, the UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in the
Palestinian Territories, called the Israeli governments actions serious war
crimes for which its political and military officials should be prosecuted and
punished. The killing of more than 40 civilians this past week violates, he
said, the strict prohibition on collective punishment contained in the Fourth
Geneva Convention. It also violates one of the basic principles of
international humanitarian law that military action must distinguish between
military targets and civilian targets. Indeed, the very legal framework
invoked by the Israeli government to carry out this illegal and immoral act
declaring Gaza a hostile entity within a conflict short of war has
absolutely no standing in international law.
We call on the Secretary General of the UN, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, to lead the
Security Council to a decisive decision to end the siege on Gaza when it meets
in emergency session on Wednesday.
We call on the governments of the world, and in particular the American
government and the European Parliament, to censure Israels actions and, in
light of recent attempts to revive the diplomatic process, to end all attacks
on civilians, including the continuing demolition of Palestinian homes at an
alarming rate.
We call upon the Jews of the world in whose name the Israeli government
purports to speak, and upon their rabbis and communal leaders in particular, to
speak out unequivocally against this offense to the very moral core of Jewish
values.
And we call upon the peoples of the world to let their officials and leaders
know of their repudiation of this cruel, illegal and immoral act an act that
stands out in its cruelty even in an already oppressive Israeli Occupation.
We condemns attacks on all civilians, and we acknowledge the suffering of the
residents of Sderot. Still, those attacks do not justify the massive
disproportionality of Israeli sanctions over a million and half civilians of
Gaza, in particular in light of Israels oppressive 40 year occupation. Such
violations of international law by a government are especially egregious and
must be denounced and punished if the very system of human rights and
international law is to be preserved.
The Israeli governments decision to punish Gazas civilian population, with
all the human suffering that entails, constitutes State Terrorism against
innocent people. Only when Israeli policy-makers are held accountable for their
actions and international law upheld will a just peace be possible in the
Middle East.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Senior Israeli defense official: Collective punishment works!

2008-01-24 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Using claims like retaliation for Palestinian rocket fire is false and 
misleading. They sell that story to the American masses via main stream media 
to make people think that all the nice Israelis are doing is defending 
themselves. What is not told and what the rest of the world knows, is that the 
Israelis have been the aggressors all along. From shooting American made 
missiles into crowded Palestinian habitations killing countless civilians, 
conducting targeted assassinations, bulldozing houses, starving the population, 
destroying their electrical power plants, poisoning and denying them water, and 
countless other acts of war and aggression the Israelis have been on a serious 
offensive . Not a week goes by without Palestinians being killed. Yet we hear a 
lot about Palestinian rocket fire but oddly enough with no Israeli casualties. 

They twist the truth to make the victims become the aggressors and the 
aggressors become the victims. The Israelis are pushing ahead with their 
genocide of the Palestinian people so that they can complete taking all of 
Palestinian lands as they claim was given to them by their god as chosen 
people. The real story is that they are using the worst Satanic methods to 
obtain what they claim was given to them by their god. Indeed what they are 
doing is in total opposition to the edicts of the Creator. As one leading 
Jewish intellectual admitted a few years ago, Many Jews don't like to admit 
it, but our god is Lucifer!
   
  Senior Israeli defense official: Collective punishment works
   
  http://www.imemc.org/article/52392
   
  In a statement to the Israeli press Monday, a senior Israeli official claimed 
that the collective punishment of the entire Palestinian population of the Gaza 
Strip was an effective way to curb Palestinian homemade rocket attacks, stating 
that Palestinians got the message. 

Despite the fact that such collective punishment of an entire population is 
explicitly illegal under international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, 
and despite the fact that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are an occupied 
people, and are thus entitled to a special 'protected' status under United 
Nations regulations, the Israeli occupying authorities have continually 
attempted to justify measures which punish the entire Palestinian population 
for the actions of a few. 

Said the unnamed senior Israeli military official, in an interview with the 
Israeli daily Yedioth Ahranot, We got the message across. Hamas understood the 
equation: A continuation of the rocket fire would lead to Israeli pressure 
against armed groups and civilians. We do not plan to cause a humanitarian 
catastrophe, but they now realize they will not get fuel or other luxuries as 
well. 

Many Palestinians disagree with the designation of fuel as a luxury, given that 
the fuel cutoff has made it impossible to maintain operation of hospitals and 
clinics, and a number of patients have died as a result. Communications between 
emergency personnel have been affected, and the sick and elderly have been 
suffering through a severely cold winter without access to heat. 

Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention forbids collective punishment and 
states that a person shall not be punished for an offense he or she has not 
personally committed. This article explicitly relates to administrative 
punishment imposed on persons or groups because of acts that they did not 
personally commit. Article 50 of the Hague Regulations states a comparable 
prohibition. 

Israeli policies in the Gaza Strip continue to target the entire population of 
1.5 million people as punishment for homemade rockets fired toward Israel by a 
few Palestinian resistance fighters. 

The Israeli military source quoted in the Israeli paper Monday made clear that 
the collective punishment of the Palestinian population in Gaza will continue, 
stating, Only an end to rocket fire would enable a return to normal life in 
the Gaza Strip.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Obama: Israel was forced to close Gaza!

2008-01-28 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

While the whole world, even concerned Israelis, are up in arms and deeply 
concerned about the devastating crisis that has more than a million 
Palestinians without power, food and basic neccessities in life, Obama's 
concern is for the treacherous Israeli government that is causing the untold 
humanitarian crisis on the Palestinians. In the letter below he implores the UN 
to not condemn Israel but to make sure they condemn Hamas for rocket assaults 
against the Israelis who have been consistently bombing Palestinians and 
launching missile attacks against civilians. To Obama, Hamas has no right to 
defend themselves. Although there has been no casualties on the Israeli side 
from the rocket attacks, there have been hundreds of casualties on the 
Palestinian side as a results of the persistent Israeli attacks.
   
  What most fail to realize is that blaming Hamas for rocket attacks is just an 
excuse for what the Israelis were doing all along and will continue to do. With 
or without rocket attacks the Israeli has done and will continue to do the same 
thing. As one insightful thinker said regarding the claims of rocket attacks 
from the Palestinians:
   
  Either the Palestinians; in 60 years of conflict; have not yet learned to 
aim properly, or those rockets are being fired by the IDF to where nobody will 
be harmed
   
  False flag operations are an Israeli specialty and one they have been caught 
doing untold number of times.

The letter from the Senator to the Ambassador speaks for itself:
 
Dear Ambassador Khalilzad,
 
I understand that today the UN Security Council met regarding the situation in
Gaza, and that a resolution or statement could be forthcoming from the Council
in short order.
 
I urge you to ensure that the Security Council issue no statement and pass no
resolution on this matter that does not fully condenm the rocket assault Hamas
has been conducting on civilians in southern Israel...
 
All of us are concerned about the impact of closed border crossings on
Palestinian families. However, we have to understand why Israel is forced to do
this... Israel has the right to respond while seeking to minimize any impact on
civilians.
 
The Security Council should clearly and unequivocally condemn the rocket
attacks... If it cannot bring itself to make these common sense points, I urge
you to ensure that it does not speak at all.
 
Sincerely,
 
Barack Obama
United States Senator

Bismillah [IslamCity] More Israeli war crimes, more media complicity!

2008-01-28 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

http://www.lefti.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html#1886664681997058556  More 
Israeli war crimes, more media complicity  

  
  On Friday, this was how one of the latest Israeli actions was described:
  Israel bombed the Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza  News reports described 
the building as empty at the time, but did note that one woman was killed 
and at least 30 others nearby were wounded.
   
  It turns out, though, that there was more to the story, which is now making 
its way into some papers, though certainly not into the broadcast media:
  The building, in a residential neighborhood flanked by the apartments of 
well-to-do residents, had been empty since it was severely damaged in a July 
2006 airstrike.  So the building wasn't just unoccupied, but unused, and it 
wasn't the Hamas-run Interior Ministry, but an building formerly used (and 
still owned) by the Interior Ministry. And, not only that, but a building 
located in a residential neighborhood, where, as it turns out, a wedding was 
in progress:
  An Israeli warplane attacked the downtown offices of the Palestinian Interior 
Ministry, flattening one wing of the empty building, killing a woman at a 
wedding party next door and wounding at least 46 other civilians, some of them 
children playing soccer in the street, hospital staff and witnesses said.  And 
why was this building attacked? Evidently it was not a military target, since 
it was an unused building. No, it was an act of pure terrorism - sending a 
message through bombing:
  Even though it was unoccupied, it was seen as a symbol of Hamas authority.  
But it isn't just me who says so, it's a U.N. official, who correctly described 
the Israeli actions as war crimes:
  A United Nations official in Geneva on Saturday condemned Israel's actions, 
particularly the bombing on Friday of an empty Hamas Interior Ministry building 
in a Gaza City neighborhood. Shrapnel from the missile strike killed a woman 
and wounded up to 46 people, some of them children, who were celebrating at a 
wedding party next door.

The official, John Dugard, who works on human rights in the Palestinian 
territories, said the Israelis who were responsible for such cowardly action 
resulting in civilian casualties are guilty of serious war crimes and should 
be prosecuted and punished for their crimes. He said that the attack on the 
building near a wedding party venue was carried out with what must have been 
foreseen loss of life and injury to many civilians.  And where did I read 
Dugard's statement? Of the major media, only in the New York Times, but even 
there, the Times does not acquit itself well. The headline to the article reads 
Israeli Airstrike in Gaza Kills 2 Hamas Members, and not until well in the 
article do we read that a U.N. official has leveled the rather serious charge 
of war crimes against Israel, rather a more newsworthy item than the death of 
yet two more Palestinians at Israeli hands. Talk about burying the lead! Also 
known as complicity.
  
 
  As an aside, the Israelis are still describing this building, unused for more 
than a year and a half, as a Hamas headquarters.

William Fulbright: On the Arrogance of Power (The Late Senator and Chairman 
of the Senate Foreign Relations)

21/01/08 ICH -- -- The Dying of Gaza As the World Turns Away: No Light, Heat, 
or Bread

Barely weeks after the failure of the Annapolis meeting Bush headed to the 
Middle East for his first visit in seven years. His purpose: Enlisting Arab 
support, although never needed, to attack Israel's neo-existential 
threat---Iran, regardless of the fact that Iran neither has nuclear weapons nor 
will it commit suicide by attacking Israel or American interests in the Gulf. 
When it comes to Israel's or America's preemptive wars and occupations of Arab 
land, facts, international laws, and human rights are irrelevant as expressed 
by George H. W. Bush, the father of Bush Jr. who considers himself the divinely 
guided crusader for Israel and MidEast peace: I will never apologize for the 
United States of America - I don't care what the facts are. 

Arriving in Israel under the pretense of energizing the peace process Bush 
and Olmert's discussion concentrated on attacking Iran, damn the Palestinians. 
Despite Bush's feigned statements that occupation must end and that outposts 
must be dismantled, Ehud Olmert publicly dressed down the American President by 
saying that settlements will continue to be built. 

During Bush's visit to Israel dozens of Palestinians were murdered and injured 
by the Israeli military. Bush did not utter a word on the loss of Palestinian 
lives. On the contrary, Bush visited the Holocaust memorial and was moved by 
the persecution of the Jews in Europe who today are the persecutors of the 
Palestinians. He wrote in the guest book; God bless Israel, George Bush. It's 
hard to imagine that God blesses Israel's inhumanity against the Palestinians 
or Bush's savagery in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr. Bush, thankfully you will leave 
office in one year after inflaming the world for decades to come. Your only 
contributions to this planet are Global Warming and Global Warring. 

With insensitivity and callousness to the daily harassment Palestinians undergo 
as they navigate hundreds of military checkpoints, Bush joked about his 
unimpeded drive through a checkpoint in full sight of the Apartheid Wall by 
saying: You'll be happy to know, my whole motorcade of a mere 45 cars was able 
to make it through without being stopped. I'm not so exactly sure that's what 
happens to the average person. The man who touts freedom was blind to the lack 
of freedom of movement of the occupied Palestinians on their own land. 

Gaza has been under siege for over a year for daring to democratically elect 
Hamas, a resistance movement founded with Israel's aid and blessing that 
legitimately fights to expel Israel's brutal occupation from their land. This 
overcrowded strip of 1.5 million people has become the world's largest prison 
suffering from a massive humanitarian crisis courtesy of Israel's democracy. 

Gaza today is under a total blockade of fuel, without electricity, heat, bread, 
clean water, medicines, and overflowing sewage in the streets. The only light 
that brightens Gaza's night sky is exploding Israeli bombs and shells. Israel 
is also blocking all U.N. humanitarian goods from entering Gaza which includes 
baby formula; such collective punishment of an entire population is illegal 
under International Law; but thanks to America, Israel has always been above 
the law, both divine and human. 

John Dugard, U.N. Human Rights rapporteur in the Occupied Territories, called 
Israel's military offensive in Gaza a war crime and called for the punishment 
of the responsible parties. John Holmes, undersecretary general of the U.N. for 
Humanitarian Affairs condemned the collective punishment of the people of 
Gaza. Holmes expressed his grave concern on Israel's sealing of border 
crossings because they are the lifeline for the delivery of humanitarian 
assistance and other goods to Gaza.

The World Bank, the International Red Cross, and many international 
organizations and human rights groups are warning of a humanitarian 
catastrophe. 

While the world, the U.N., and the Arab leaders are expressing concern and 
condemnation, Israel rests assured that as long as it has American in its 
grip, the voices of the world cannot save a single Palestinian child from an 
Israeli sniper's

Bismillah [IslamCity] Open Letter to Senator/Presidential Candidate Barak Obama

2008-01-30 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Open Letter to Senator/Presidential Candidate Barak Obama

Dear Senator Obama, 

We Palestinians, whether in Palestine that was occupied in 1948, or
Palestine that was occupied in 1967 and in our diaspora/Ashatat counting now
over ten million uprooted people, were shocked and saddened to read your
letter addressed to Mr. Khalilzad, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. We
were shocked and astonished that you, especially as a U.S. citizen of
African roots, would not have remembered the stance of the Zionist state of
Israel during the uprising/Intifadah of the non-white people in South
Africa. Those men and women, who are a part of the indigenous population of
the continent where your roots are still deep in its soil, were not
supported in their struggle by Israel. In fact, this rogue state was one of
the very few countries in the world to ally itself and supply the apartheid
colonizing establishment in South Africa with all its requirements of arms
and weapons to maintain its apartheid regime, so that it could fight and
subjugate the revolting citizens of the colony, who only sought to obtain
equal rights in the place of their birth. 

We were astonished to read that you support the apartheid state by saying
Israel has the right to respond. 

Has it not occurred to you, Mr. Senator, why the indigenous population of
Palestine have been uprising for so many decades, and suffering the death of
thousands and thousands of their men and women of all ages including the
very young and very old, who are living in refugee camps away from their own
homes and land that they had been developing with sweat and blood for
thousands of years? We are saddened that a man of your caliber who promotes
the rights of the subjugated masses in your great nation, the United States,
and everywhere in the world, who condemns the Bush regime because of the
wars it is waging around the world resulting in thousands of deaths, with
its maimed men and women serving in your nation's armed forces away from
their homes and beloved ones expresses such opinions regarding our people.
You are aware of the millions of deaths, the men, women and children who
have become disabled, and the other millions of individuals who have been
uprooted and are living in the status of poor refugees in and out of their
homelands as a result of these criminal wars? Mr. Senator Obama, how is it
possible that a personality of your status, caliber and intelligence has
missed to read, see and hear the news of how Palestinians in occupied
Palestine are treated like slaves if not animals, which is by far worse than
the way enslaved Africans were treated for centuries by the American
colonizers? Did you read, hear or see how those Palestinians are tortured
and dehumanized on the over 750 checkpoints and crossings all over the
occupied West Bank of Palestine? Did you hear, read or see how barbaric
Zionist colonizers are still stealing more and more Palestinian land to
build more Zionist colonies over what remained unoccupied and un-stolen of
Palestinian Arab land, and how these wild racist colonialists are cutting
down millions of centuries' old olive trees, razing thousands of acres of
farmland, demolishing thousands of residential, office and industrial
buildings and leaving thousands of people living in the open air or tents in
the heat of the summer or the freezing cold of the winter? We doubt that you
don't have the courage to admit that you have heard, seen or read about the
apartheid wall that Zionists unashamedly call security wall while the main
reason is to steal more land in the 22% left of Palestine unoccupied in
1948, and let's not forget the stealing of fresh water resources to be used
by Zionist colonialists to be pumped back out of their sewage system as
filth and flooded over the fields of the poor Palestinians who have not been
colonized yet?! And you turned your face away pretending not to have seen,
heard or read about all that and many and many other war crimes the Zionist
state of Israel that had been denying Palestinian Arabs to exercise their
Right of Return to their stolen homes and land 

It would be a shame if a man of your caliber and status does deny seeing,
hearing and reading all about these atrocities against a people that belongs
to the human race in the twentieth century, only because he might gain the
blessings of the Zionist Israeli lobby, to be elected as president of the
United States, while knowing well that those who control the possibilities
and means shall put all the barriers and checkpoints in your way to deprive
you of this pleasure. 

Mr. Obama, have the courage to include among the causes you fight for to
admit that Palestinian Arab resistance are the people who are fighting in
self defense and not the other way round. 

Palestinian resistance, by international legal rules, is accorded every
right to use any means to regain all their rights in their land and as human
beings, and live in a democratic, free and sovereign

Bismillah [IslamCity] Obama: Will of God Should not influence the laws of your country

2008-02-06 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Barack Obama said below:  The Arab governments need to embrace democracy, not 
theocracy. When you allow the will of God to influence the laws of your 
country, you will not win the support of the US  It is surprising that he 
said that to the Palestinians. Knowing just a little history would make Obama 
realize just how foolish he appears to the Palestinians for this and other 
comments made below. If he had said something like that about the many 
monarchies, un-Islamic governments in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, 
Jordan, etc then he would be making sense and we would be in full agreement.  
For hundreds of years Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in peace and 
prosperity under Sharia the will of God  rule in Palestine. Muslims ruled 
using Islamic precepts and peace and prosperity reigned for several centuries 
after the Crusades in the land of Palestine. It was not until the coming of the 
racist Zionists out of Europe, beginning in the 1890s, that havoc and turmoil 
came
 to Palestine. Today the original Jews, Christians and Muslims of Palestine are 
still in peace and harmony united against the invading Zionists. That alone is 
testimony to how successful the will of God rule has been for the people of 
different religions in Palestine.  While loudly criticizing Muslims for wanting 
a theocracy, Obama is mute about Gods chosen people building a nation based 
on Jewish racism and claims to land given to them by God.  Typical double 
standard portrayed by American politicians when it comes to anything affecting 
Jews and Israel. It is sad and pitiful to see the total capitulation of 
American politicians to Jewish causes and interests, it is even worst to see 
those who are supposed to be worshipping Allah only, give blind, unreasoning 
support to one groveling at Jewish feet.Check out the link below for the 
full story:  
http://www.palsolidarity.org/main/2006/01/15/an-invitation-for-barak-obama/  An 
Invitation for Barak Obama  The Arab
 governments need to embrace democracy, not theocracy. When you allow the will 
of God to influence the laws of your country, you will not win the support of 
the US. (What about Israel claiming they have the God given right to rule this 
land?) The Arab governments need to renounce violence against civilians. (What 
about 1,000, 000 dead Iraqis, were all of those people terrorists, Baathists, 
foreign fighters or were some of them civilians?) The US is opposed to 
theocracy and terrorism and if the Arab governments want to create a paradigm 
shift, they need to address these concerns of ours.
   
  So then I asked him, You say the US is opposed to theocracy and terrorism, 
how can you explain to the Palestinian people how the US can be opposed to 
these things but still supports a state that has racist, oppressive, unjust and 
apartheid policies. And do you see how this paints an inconsistent picture to 
the people of the Middle East?
   
  He began his answer by saying he would not accept the assumptions I made and 
therefor was not going to address that part of my question. He said he could 
understand the Palestinian view that the policies of the US were one sided but 
he said the relationship with Israel was not going to change. My high hopes for 
Barak Obamas foreign policy ideas were shot down!.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Another American War Crime in the Making

2008-04-05 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

Another American War Crime in the Making
   
  by Paul Craig Roberts
   
  The US Congress, the US media, the American people, and the United Nations, 
are looking the other way as Cheney prepares his attack on Iran.
   
  If only America had an independent media and an opposition party. If there 
were a shred of integrity left in American political life, perhaps a third act 
of naked aggression  a third war crime under the Nuremberg standard  by the 
Bush Regime could be prevented.
   
  On March 30, the Russian News  Information Agency, Novosti, cited a 
high-ranking security source: The latest military intelligence data point to 
heightened US military preparations for both an air and ground operation 
against Iran.
   
  According to Novosti, Russian Colonel General Leonid Ivashov said that the 
Pentagon is planning to deliver a massive air strike on Irans military 
infrastructure in the near future.
   
  The chief of Russias general staff, Yuri Baluyevsky, said last November that 
Russia was beefing up its military in response to US aggression, but that the 
Russian military is not obliged to defend the world from the evil Americans.
   
  On March 29, OpEdNews cited a report by the Saudi Arabian newspaper Okaz, 
which was picked up by the German news service, DPA. The Saudi newspaper 
reported on March 22, the day following Cheneys visit with the kingdoms 
rulers, that the Saudi Shura Council is preparing national plans to deal with 
any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards that may affect the kingdom 
following experts warnings of possible attacks on Irans Bushehr nuclear 
reactors.
   
  And Admiral William there will be no attack on Iran on my watch Fallon has 
been removed as US chief of Central Command, thus clearing the way for Cheneys 
planned attack on Iran.
   
  The Iranians dont seem to believe it, despite the dispatch of US nuclear 
submarines and another aircraft carrier attack group to the Persian Gulf. To 
counter any Iranian missiles launched in response to an attack, the US is 
deploying anti-missile defenses to protect US bases and Saudi oil fields.
   
  Two massive failures by the American media, the Democratic Party, and the 
American people have paved the way for Cheneys long-planned attack on Iran. 
One failure is the lack of skepticism about the US governments explanation of 
9/11. The other failure is the Democrats refusal to begin impeachment 
proceedings against President Bush for lying to the Congress, the American 
people, and the world and launching an invasion of Iraq based on deception and 
fabricated evidence.
   
  If an American president can start a war exactly as Adolf Hitler did with 
pure lies and not be held accountable, he can get away with anything. And Bush 
and his evil regime have.
   
  Hitler launched World War II with his invasion of Poland after staging a 
Polish attack on a German radio station. On the night of August 31, 1939, a 
group of Nazis disguised in Polish uniforms seized a radio station in Germany. 
Hitler announced that last night Polish troops crossed the frontier and 
attacked Germany, a claim no more true than the Bush Regimes claim that 
Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction. Hitlers lie failed, because 
his invasion of Poland, which began the next day allegedly in reprisal for the 
Polish attack, had obviously been planned for many months.
   
  Iran is a beautiful and developed country. It is an ancient civilization. It 
has attacked no one. Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-proliferation 
Treaty. Iran is permitted by the treaty to have a nuclear energy program. The 
Bush Regimes case against Iran is based on the Bush Regimes desire to deny 
Iran its rights under the treaty.
   
  The International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have repeatedly reported 
that they have found no evidence of an Iranian nuclear weapons program. Despite 
all the disinformation from US Gen. Petraeus and other Bush Regime military 
lackeys, Iran is not arming the Iraqis who are resisting the American 
occupation.
   
  If Iran were arming insurgents, the insurgents would have two weapons that 
would neutralize the US advantage in the Iraqi conflict: missiles to knock down 
US helicopter gunships and rocket-propelled grenades that knock out American 
tanks. The insurgents do not have these weapons and must construct clumsy 
anti-tank weapons out of artillery shells. The insurgents are helpless against 
US air power and cannot mass forces to take on the American troops.
   
  Indiscriminate American violence has reduced Iraq to rubble. The civilian 
infrastructure is essentially destroyed  electricity, water and sewer systems, 
medical care and schools. Depleted uranium is everywhere poisoning everyone, 
including US troops. There is no economy, and half or more of Iraqis are 
unemployed. Literally no Iraqi family has escaped an injury or a death as a 
consequence of the US invasion. Millions of Iraqis have become

Bismillah [IslamCity] Masjid At-Taqwa in Brooklyn Under Media Attack!

2008-05-18 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq

NOTE: Masjid at-Taqwa is a mosque in Brooklyn, whose pastor, Imam
Siraj Wahhaj is known for his fiery and charismatic speeches. His
sermons on tape are sold widely on the internet.

Propaganda campaign mounts against Masjid At-Taqwa


Don't snap a photo of the Masjid At-Taqwa in the Bedford-Stuyvesant
section of Brooklyn unless you want to be hauled away by a group of
angry Muslims in Islamic attire to the basement of the facility where
a group of twenty security guards in karate suits will interrogate you.

This might sound preposterous. But it happened on Saturday, April 24,
at 3:00 in the afternoon…

It goes downhill from there. Bos Hog (I mean Bos Smith, pardon me) was
deep in the heart of enemy territory doing surveillance work on one of
the known terrorist cells in North America, when they were abducted at
Qur'an point by enemy forces and taken down into the dungeon of the
mosque and subjected to harsh interrogation techniques. (Or so they
would like their gullible readers to think).

The reader is invited to go to the following link and read Bos'
propaganda account of his DAYTIME adventure at Masjid At-Taqwa:

http://americansaga insthate. blogspot. com/2008/ 04/escape- from-brooklyn- 
mosque_28. html


But before doing so, however, please read Ali Abdul Karim's less
colorful, but more accurate description of what really happened when
Bos Hog (excuse me, Smith) decided to go native for a sunny afternoon
in good ol Bed-Sty.

===

The Real Deal 
by Ali Abdul Karim

This is a full account of what happened when Bos Smith and his crew
came to Masjidat-Taqwah to take photographs of the masjid building. I
was conducting my routine martial art classes on Saturday afternoon,
made up mostly of 20 children and about 6 adults, when one of the
members of the masjid summoned me from my class. I went to see what he
wanted and observed two Caucasian males with him. The brother
explained that they were taking photographs of the masjid and he
invited them to speak to someone in authority to see how we can best
assist them in this endeavor, which is our protocol when any media is
interested in filming Masjidat Taqwah.

There was no hostility shown toward the two men, nor were they held
under any duress; they had freedom of movement and they could leave at
anytime. The brother informed me that when he observed them taking
photographs he inquired about nature of the photographs, and when they
informed him of the nature of the photographs, that's when he invited
them to speak to someone in authority. They complied with the
invitation willingly, without duress, and without force, which is not
masjid policy.

I inquired about the nature of their business with Masjidat-Taqwah.
Bos Smith informed us that he was doing a documentary on Muslims in
America, and going around to different masajid photographing them. I
never at any time informed him that he could not take photographs of
the masjid. I asked him who he represented, and did he have a business
card. He replied that he was freelance and didn't have a business
card. I then asked him if he had a contact number and he gave that to
me willingly. I then proceeded to give him Imam Siraj's office number
and informed Bos Smith that, as it is our policy to accommodate all
media in these types of endeavors, the imam and the community would be
more than happy to oblige him in this project, and they left peacefully.

Note, Bos Smith says he has a law degree. Why would he come into a
basement without being forced or [with the] threat of force. This non
incident happened in broad day light, with the usually high level of
pedestrian traffic and police presence in our area. Furthermore, we
understand people's first amendment rights, and I am sure Bos Smith
knows [also]; so why didn't he ignore the request made to him. He
could have walked away or summoned the police for unlawful detention
or restriction of movement.

It's because it never happened the way he wrote about it in the
article. The article is a biased attempt to defame and discredit Imam
Siraj, Masjidat-Taqwah, Islam and the Muslims as a whole. Truth be
known, Bos Smith has written a book soon to be released called,
Within the Belly of the Beast: Jihad in America. There is a chapter
devoted to radical mosques. So he has a hidden agenda that ALLAH
(SWTA) has exposed through this event; and ALLAH KNOWS BEST.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Re: New article on The Toronto 18 and The War on Terror

Dr. Naseer you wrote,
“The entire case is now falling apart, not just because the unreliability of 
the government's star witnesses has now been exposed in the national media as 
druggies, failed businessmen demanding $15 million (!) for their 'testimony' 
and publicity hounds. I blame also the politicians who were so quick to declare 
them and an entire religion guilty and 'community' leaders who abandoned the 
families of the Toronto 18 because of fear of association with what is now OK 
to demonize: angry young Muslim males. Above all, I say that an unjust, 
corrupted, system of justice reflects badly on Canada, and what Canadian 
'values' are supposed to be about. And I say, this War on Terror is a lie.”
We have seen this same theme played over and over again in the US, UK, 
Australia and other places. Loud noises being made over false Muslim 
arrests, imprisonment and even tortur, while when the Muslims are found 
innocent it is barely mentioned.
“Individual terrorism, directed at civilians, is wrong. But when it is 
instigated by intelligence agencies I think we need to look at the 
inconsistencies. The RCMP has a long history of using informants to infiltrate 
communists, 'white nationalists' and now Muslims, then having their own 
informants commit crimes to discredit the larger group. In the 70's RCMP 
informants set off bombs in post boxes around Quebec to discredit the Quebec 
separatist movement. That a few immature hot heads can be trusted to make hot 
headed comments is always a given, but the fact that the various terrors of the 
21st century were all conducted by various intelligence agencies are also, a 
given. One of the ways of proving that would be to look at the explosives used 
to commit those crimes. Sorry, the World Trade Towers were brought down by 
explosives. The official story is an impossible lie. The Tube bombings in 
London were conducted with military, not home-made explosives
 which simply could not have had the power required to do the damage they did. 
The chief 'planner' of that, Haroon Aswat, turned out to be an MI-6 asset. The 
Bali, Madrid and even Tel Aviv bombings all had similar inconsistencies.”
Yes Dr. Naseer, there are many, many setups that fit the modus operandi that 
you described above and the WTC 1993 foiled bombing plot is a classic example 
of this.
To be complete I took the liberty to add in red one sentence to your paragraph 
below
The War on Terror is a lie. The war against Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and the 
Muslim world is a lie. It serves the arms manufacturers and the rulers of the 
world. It serves the oil companies whose profits and values of their reserves 
go up. It helps the money lenders and promoters of war. It serves to transfer 
your money out of your pockets and into the hands of a few and fosters Jewish 
Zionists hegemony over the world serving their goals and purposes.
 
 
Strive as in a race to achieve the
 goal of excellence in all that you do.

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: My Lord is Allah (believes in 
His Oneness), and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites 
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: I 
am one of the Muslims.} (Holy Quran-41:33)
 
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: By Allah, if 
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of 
camels. [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] 

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, Whoever 
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who 
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all. 
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
