Abdul Rahman is the first person in Britain to be convicted of a charge of disseminating terrorist information. He is also the first to be charged with helping another person to breach a control order by paying the airfare for a man to flee to Pakistan. When police raided Rahman's house in Manchester, north-west England, they were reported to have found computer discs of speeches given to crowds in Pakistan chanting Allah is calling for Jihad. The 23-year old was said to have come to the UK in September 2004 on a student visa, but quit his course at the University of Dundee in Scotland the day after enrolling and travelled to Manchester, where he met up with other young Muslim men. The prosecution accused him of being part of a radical cell who believed in fighting a holy war in Afghanistan with their Muslim brothers. In essence, they were a group, or cell, of young men all espousing the radical jihad philosophy that states non-believers in Islam are legitimate targets. In particular, the true followers in Afghanistan are the Taliban, his trial in Manchester was told.

Help Palestine [hidayahnet] YDP Agung murka???
Assalamualaikum, YDP Agung murka perhimpunan haram?? Saya apabila mendengar berita2 dari golongan fasiq, saya akan cuba mentakwil atau mendapatkan sumber yang lain juga sebagai perbandingan atau tidak menjadikan kita taksub dengan satu sumber pendapat... dalam tv tak tunjuk pun tok agung kata murka tapi sekadar ayat yang di katakan tok agung ucapkan.. atau sekadar raja baca teks sahaja atau memang tidak sebegitu sebenarnya tapi di perbesar2kan benda yang sebenarnya tidak ditekankan oleh raja.. !!! Tengok sahaja berita tentang kelantan mundur di katakan sultan kelantan mengucapkan sebegitu.. tapi sebenarnya sultan ada sebut kelantan pesat membangun dari segi lahirnya begitu banyak pusat membeli belah di sebabkan kuasa beli di kelantan sangat hebat.. !!?? Tapi adalah sikit2 sultan kelantan tegur ada lagi kemiskinan tegar di kelantan.. tapi kalau dengar berita kat tv dia tak sebut langsung tentang pujian sultan kelantan kepada kemajuan tapi yang sebut yang negatif di tambah lagi ayat2 sendiri untuk menampakkan teruknya kelantan ini.. YDP AGUNG ARAH JANGAN TANGKAP RAKYAT!! Kalau tok agung murka sudah tentu dia membiarkan rakyat2 di tangkap tapi sebenarnya takde seorang pun di tangkap pada perhimpunan 10 november.. yang ditangkap hanyalah pelakon2 dr sb untuk nampak seolah polis bertindak.. YDP Agung telah mengarahkan jangan menyekat perhimpunan itu sehingga ke pintu pagar Istana.. kalau takde kebenaran YDP Agung sebenarnya begitu mudah untuk polis menyekat jalan itu dengan meletakkan trak2 polis dan melemparkan gas pemedih mata.. sudah tentu akan bersurai punya perhimpunan itu.. tapi kenapa boleh sampai ke pintu pagar istana.. ?? Kerana arahan YDP agung lah.. Ada percanggahan arahan antara YDP Agung dengan arahan pak lah dan polis di sini.. pak lah dan ketua polis suruh tangkap tapi tiba2 arahan YDP Agung yang dikatakan murka?? suruh jangan tangkap walaupun seorang pun.. selepas YDP agung kata suruh bersurai.. dalam masa sekejap sahaja perhimpunan itu bersurai dengan aman.. Sebelum perhimpunan lagi telah ada maklumat yang menyebutkan bahawa siapa yang pakai baju hitam sahaja di tangkap.. iaitu pakaian SB.. oleh itu setiap yang mengikuti perhimpunan di larang sama sekali pakai baju hitam.. kenapa?? kerana ada arahan dari atasan lagilah yang melibatkan campur tangan YDP Agung... SB BERMAHARAJALELA? Setiap bas yang pergi ke perhimpunan telah ada seorang SB yang cuba memprovokasikan perhimpunan itu dengan cuba membuat perkara2 yang ingin membocorkan rahsia... Setiap bas yang di carta di sekat tengah jalan dan tak boleh pergi.. Dari kelantan sahaja ada 15 road block nak sekat perhimpunan ini.. Di KL sahaja penuh dengan sekatan.. HUKUM? Hukum seperti kita sebutkan sebenarnya bergantung kepada bentuk demonstrasi itu.. adakah ada unsur haram atau sebenarnya tidak mencapai maqasid atau tanpa pertimbangan yang jelas.. maka bolehlah nak kata haram.. jangan terburu2 dan ghuluw seperti mana yang telah dilakukan oleh Ust MAZA.. Ust MAZA seolah2 rajin sangat mengaitkan pas dengan ghuluw dan seolah2 dirinya bersih dan suci dari sifat ghuluw.. Ghuluw ada dalam setiap golongan tapi mestilah dibuang dan dikurangkan dan bukan sekadar di tuduh dan dituding kepada golongan tertentu.. Ust MAZA kata penceramah pas memaki.. benarkah?? seorang dua tu benarlah tapi sebahagian besar penceramah pas adalah golongan yang tidak suka memaki dan sekadar menggunakan fakta ilmiah seperti Husam Musa, Saifuddin Nasution.. tapi kalau Mat Sabu, salahuddin Ayub dan ust Badrul Amin (ingat ust ini bukan dasar perjuangannya islam tapi darah perjuangannya adalah Anwar Ibrahim).. dan seumpamanya memang kaki maki.. dan kata huduh.. Ust Hamid bekas orang no 2 Mustapha Mohd juga mengatakan dalam UMNO sebenarnya sangat kuat dan jauh lebih kuat memaki, ucapan kasar dan kotor dan tak seperti sangkaan Mufti Perlis.. wassalam - Never miss a thing.

Help Palestine [hidayahnet] Who Really the Terrorist : Hindu Extremes of Course in This Case!!!
http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Gujarat Masacre : Do You Remember The Thousands Muslim Slaughtered by Hindu Extremes? Hindus confess to Gujarat carnage Source: IslamOnline 28/10/2007 08:00:00 PM GMT [] A Hindu politician confessed that Narendra Modi had given the green light for the extremists to go ahead with their rampage. An Indian magazine released videotaped confessions of Hindu activists detailing blatant state collusion over the 2002 Gujarat massacre. CAIRO An Indian weekly magazine has released a series of videotaped confessions of Hindu activists of hacking hundreds of Muslims to death in the southern state of Gujarat and detailing blatant state collusion over the 2002 massacre, reported the Washington Post. It is a very disturbing story, said Tarun Tejpal, the editor of the weekly Tehelka, which released the confessions. It is a story that makes me worry about the kind of India we are living in. The videos showed Hindu activists and politicians bragging about hacking Muslims to death and burning their bodies. Some activists confessed that they doused petrified Muslims in kerosene and burned them alive. Another activist said that he slit open the stomach of a pregnant Muslim woman. There is a complete absence of remorse in these confessions, said Tejpal. The perpetrators of the violence have themselves confessed to the crime. The videos are the result of a six-month investigation by a by a Tehelka investigative reporter, who posed as a research scholar and spoke to the activists. Up to 2,500 people, mostly Muslims, were hacked and burnt to death by Hindu extremists in Gujarat in 2002. The carnage took place after 59 Hindu pilgrims were died on train in a fire some blamed on Muslims. India's Supreme Court has accused the Hindu nationalist government in Gujarat of being complicit in the killings. Gujarat carnage was the worst religious violence India had seen in years. India is home to the world's largest Muslim population after Indonesia and Pakistan. Hindus account for more than 80 percent of the country's 1.1 billion population while Muslims make up about 13 percent. State Collusion The video also showed an Indian Hindu politician confessing that Gujarat's chief minister Narendra Modi had given the green light for the Hindu extremists to go ahead with their rampage. He (Modi) had given us three days to do whatever we could, admitted Haresh Bhatt, a leader of Bajrang Dal, a hardline Hindu group affiliated to the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. He said he would not give us time after that, he said this openly, he was quoted as saying by Reuters. Modi, who is seeking a reelection in December state elections, earlier claimed that the massacre was a spontaneous reaction to the train fire. Arvind Pandya, a Gujarat government counsel at a riot inquiry panel, said Modi's blood was boiling when he first heard of the train fire. His reaction was like this, 'if he were not a minister he would have burst bombs ... detonated a few bombs in Juhapura', Pandya said, referring to a Muslim suburb in Gujarat's main city Ahmedabad. Indian Muslims said the videos were no surprise. None of these confessions are new to us. We have experienced all this firsthand, said Shakeel Ahmed, a legal activist in Gujarat and a member of the Association for the Protection of Civil Rights. He, however, said that the videotaped confessions mount pressures on the state government to act against the perpetrators. The perpetrators themselves are admitting to the heinous crimes, he said. Whether it will bring justice depends on political will. Many of the accused are our rulers today. Who will investigate them? Right groups complain that little has been done to catch the culprits. They insist that there was no trace of accountability on government officials who reportedly engineered the massacre. Only about a dozen people have been convicted from 3,200 cases filed.

Ali was killed on the same day in June, 2001 that Sharon refused to let the Israeli foreign minister, Shimon Peres, meet with Yasir Arafat, yet his death also went unnoticed by American television news. But not entirely unnoticed, since the Israeli soldiers, who taunted the Palestinian boys over loudspeakers outside the Khan Yunis refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, goading them to come out and throw rocks, did so under the gaze of Chris Hedges, a reporter for the New York Times. Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered--death squads gunned them down in El Salvador and Guatemala, mothers with infants were lined up and massacred in Algeria, and Serb snipers put children in their sights...in Sarajevo--but I have never before watched soldiers entice children like mice into a trap and murder them for sport, Hedges wrote.

Help Palestine [hidayahnet] Al-Hadith : Tujuh Yang Mendapat Naungan
Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a. dari Nabi s.a.w., sabdanya, Ada tujuh macam orang yang akan diberi naungan oleh Allah dalam naungannya pada hari tiada naungan melainkan naungan Allah itu sendiri, iaitu 1. imam yang adil, 2. pemuda yang tumbuh (sejak kecil) beribadat kepada Allah 'Azza wa jalla, 3. seseorang yang hatinya terpaut kepada masjid-masjid 4. dua orang yang saling cinta-mencintai kerana Allah, keduanya berkumpul atas keadaan yang sedemikian serta berpisah pun atas keadaan yang sedemikian 5. seseorang lelaki yang diajak oleh wanita yang mempunyai kedudukan serta kecantikan wajah, lalu ia berkata: Sesungguhnya saya ini takut kepada Allah, (ataupun sebaliknya yakni yang diajak itu ialah wanita oleh seorang lelaki), 6. seseorang yang bersedekah dengan suatu sedekah lalu menyembunyikan amalannya itu (tidak menampak-nampakkannya), sehingga dapat dikatakan bahawa tangan kirinya tidak mengetahui apa-apa yang dilakukan oleh tangan kanannya 7. seseorang yang ingat kepada Allah di dalam keadaan sepi lalu melelehlah airmata dari kedua matanya.

Re: Help Palestine [hidayahnet] BERSIH demands explanation for the �Phantoms of SPR�/ Gerakkan kempen nasional, besar-besaran mohon Agong pecat Rashid
Aswt, Jumpa semula. Rashid sebagai Pengerusi SPR melalui RTM (Rangkaian Temberang Malaysia) kata buktikan di mahkamah sekiranya SPR melakukan penipuan. Kalau betul ada penipuan dia sanggup letak jawatan!! Punya bangang macamana boleh dilantik jadi Pengerusi SPR? tapi UMNO/ BN memang perlukan orang yang bangang jadi Pengerusi SPR. Maka nama orang-orang seperti inilah diserah kepada Yang di Pertuan Agong untuk dilantik sebagai Pengerusi SPR. Rakyat yang perihatin akan sistem demokrasi yang anjur demonstrasi dicap sebagai perhimpunan haram (kerana mereka tak diberi permit) mahukan pilihanraya yang adil dan bersih. Saya rasa mereka pun tak dakwa SPR yang buat penipuan tetapi yang menjadi masalah ialah kerana SPR dijadikan rakan kongsi kepada para penipu dan perasuah untuk kerja penipuan dan merasuah mereka. Di bawah UMNO/BN tipu dan rasuah adalah kesalahan dan haram kecuali ketika pilihanraya ia adalah halal (untuk merekalah). Apabila parlimen dibubarkan kerajaan sudah tidak wujud tapi SPR masih anggap mereka dibawah kerajaan yang memerintah sebelum parlimen dibubarkan. Mereka ketika itu sepatutnya bukan lagi agensi sebuah kerajaan yang sah yang dibentuk oleh mana-mana parti politik. Saya rasa selagi sistem ini tidak dirombak SPR akan terus diperalatkan oleh bekas pemimpin kerajaan yang memerintah. Sepatutnya bila parlimen dibubar Perdana Menteri/ menteri-menteri/timbalan menteri dan semua mereka yang dilantik berasaskan kedudukan politik parti yang memerintah sebelumnya gugur dari jawatan dan tidak punyai sebarang kuasa dan keistimewaan.Yang Di Pertuan Agong sepatutnya melantik orang-orang yang betul-betul boleh diamanahkan memegang kuasa pemerintahan sementara mungkin para-para hakim dan para mufti walaupun ada mufti ?pro UMNO (kerana dia rasa bertanggung jawab kepada UMNO bukan kepada Allah swt?.) dan biarlah mereka ini yang mentadbir untuk tempoh sementara menunggu kerajaan baru dipilih. Mereka juga patut diberi kuasa melantik badan pemantau agar pilihanraya adalah adil dan bersih. Mungkin mereka ini perlu mengangkat sumpah secara Islam. Jangan lah mereka yang nak jadi menteri/timbalan menteri saja mengangkat sumpah ikut cara Islam sedangkan ada yang menang pilihanraya tak ikut cara Islam ( ada yang pernah menang dengan ?undi pos yang entah datang dari hutan mana!! ).Wallahua'lam. ibnuAli kota jembal [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: BERSIH demands explanation for the Phantoms of SPR/ Gerakkan kempen nasional, besar-besaran mohon Agong pecat Rashid BERSIH BERSIH demands explanation for the Phantoms of SPRPRESS STATEMENT 20 November 2007 The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (BERSIH) demands that the Election Commission (SPR) Chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid explain how phantoms were created in Ijok, Ipoh and numerous other places. BERSIH dismisses Abdul Rashids attempt to divert attention by focusing only on the 142 missing ballots in Ijok and ignoring the bigger scandals in the Ijok by-election on 28 April 2007: Over 50 dead voters were still on the electoral roll and 12 of them, all of them Malays from the Jaya Setia polling district, rose up from their graves to cast their votes on polling day. Opposition support was slashed by about 18% in this district. Three Chinese voters at Pekan Ijok had their votes stolen by impostors, who had turned up earlier at the polling station. A swing against BN had been expected and realized at the Chinese-majority polling district. As many as 23 voters were registered without national identity cards. As many as 32 voters aged between 100 and 132 years old were still listed on the electoral rolls. BERSIH stresses that such irregularities are not isolated cases, but rather, they reflect systematic patterns. Most recently, Ipoh Timur (the seat of the Parliamentary Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang which he won with a margin of 9,774 votes) saw an increase of 8,463 registered voters. The problem is more than just a clandestine form of gerrymandering. The integrity of the electoral roll in Ipoh Timor is reflective of the integrity of the SPR. Prominent local blogger Ahirudin Attan (Rockys Bru) who had never registered as a voter found out that he has been a resident and voter at Taman Rapat Setia since 1999. Another example is a Ms. L.L. Wong, who has never registered as a voter, recently found that she has been a voter in Johor Baru since 1990. The SPR has tried to blame this on some assistant registration officers who used the old registration system before July 2002 but it has failed to given any names to support the accusations. It has also failed to guarantee that all such irregularities will be rectified and not be repeated since the new registration system was introduced in 2002.

Help Palestine [hidayahnet] One Million Dead in Iraq : Our Own (US) Holocaust Denial
http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === One Million Dead in Iraq Our Own (US) Holocaust Denial By Mark Weisbrot 11/22/07 http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ICH' -- -- Institutionally unwilling to consider America's responsibility for the bloodbath, the traditional media have refused to acknowledge the massive number of Iraqis killed since the invasion. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad's flirtation with those who deny the reality of the Nazi genocide has rightly been met with disgust. But another holocaust denial is taking place with little notice: the holocaust in Iraq. The average American believes that 10,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed since the US invasion in March 2003. The most commonly cited figure in the media is 70,000. But the actual number of people who have been killed is most likely more than one million. This is five times more than the estimates of killings in Darfur and even more than the genocide in Rwanda 13 years ago. The estimate of more than one million violent deaths in Iraq was confirmed again two months ago in a poll by the British polling firm Opinion Research Business, which estimated 1,220,580 violent deaths since the US invasion. This is consistent with the study conducted by doctors and scientists from the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health more than a year ago. Their study was published in the Lancet, Britain's leading medical journal. It estimated 601,000 people killed due to violence as of July 2006; but if updated on the basis of deaths since the study, this estimate would also be more than a million. These estimates do not include those who have died because of public health problems created by the war, including breakdowns in sewerage systems and electricity, shortages of medicines, etc. Amazingly, some journalists and editors - and of course some politicians - dismiss such measurements because they are based on random sampling of the population rather than a complete count of the dead. While it would be wrong to blame anyone for their lack of education, this disregard for scientific methods and results is inexcusable. As one observer succinctly put it: if you don't believe in random sampling, the next time your doctor orders a blood test, tell him that he needs to take all of it. The methods used in the estimates of Iraqi deaths are the same as those used to estimate the deaths in Darfur, which are widely accepted in the media. They are also consistent with the large numbers of refugees from the violence (estimated at more than four million). There is no reason to disbelieve them, or to accept tallies such as that the Iraq Body Count (73,305 - 84,222), which include only a small proportion of those killed, as an estimate of the overall death toll. Of course, acknowledging the holocaust in Iraq might change the debate over the war. While Iraqi lives do not count for much in US politics, recognizing that a mass slaughter of this magnitude is taking place could lead to more questions about how this horrible situation came to be. Right now a convenient myth dominates the discussion: the fall of Saddam Hussein simply unleashed a civil war that was waiting to happen, and the violence is all due to Iraqis' inherent hatred of each other. In fact, there is considerable evidence that the occupation itself - including the strategy of the occupying forces - has played a large role in escalating the violence to holocaust proportions. It is in the nature of such an occupation, where the vast majority of the people are opposed to the occupation and according to polls believe it is right to try and kill the occupiers, to pit one ethnic group against another. This was clear when Shiite troops were sent into Sunni Fallujah in 2004; it is obvious in the nature of the death-squad government, where officials from the highest levels of the Interior Ministry to the lowest ranking police officers - all trained and supported by the US military - have carried out a violent, sectarian mission of ethnic cleansing. (The largest proportion of the killings in Iraq are from gunfire and executions, not from car bombs). It has become even more obvious in recent months as the United States is now arming both sides of the civil war, including Sunni militias in Anbar province as well as the Shiite government militias. Is Washington responsible for a holocaust in Iraq? That is the question that almost everyone here wants to avoid. So the holocaust is denied The full story in http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18765.htm === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW

Help Palestine [hidayahnet] Why We Shouldn't Celebrate Thanksgiving - Remember The Genocide of Native Americans, Indians
http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Why We Shouldn't Celebrate Thanksgiving - Remember The Genocide of Native Americans, Indians By http://www.alternet.org/authors/4690/Robert Jensen, http://www.alternet.orgAlterNet. Posted http://www.alternet.org/ts/archives/?date%5BF%5D=11date%5BY%5D=2007date%5Bd%5D=22act=Go/November 22, 2007. Thanksgiving Day should be turned into a National Day of Atonement to acknowledge the genocide of America's indigenous peoples. After years of being constantly annoyed and often angry about the historical denial built into Thanksgiving Day, I http://www.alternet.org/story/28584/published an essay in November 2005 suggesting we replace the feasting with fasting and create a National Day of Atonement to acknowledge the genocide of indigenous people that is central to the creation of the United States. I expected criticism from right-wing and centrist people, given their common commitment to this country's distorted self-image that supports the triumphalist/supremacist notions about the United States so common in conventional politics, and I got plenty of such critique. But I was surprised by the resistance from liberals, including a considerable number of my friends. The most common argument went something like this: OK, it's true that the Thanksgiving Day mythology is rooted in a fraudulent story -- about the European invaders coming in peace to the New World, eager to cooperate with indigenous people -- which conveniently ignores the reality of European barbarism in the conquest of the continent. But we can reject the culture's self-congratulatory attempts to rewrite history, I have been told, and come together on Thanksgiving to celebrate the love and connections among family and friends. The argument that we can ignore the collective cultural definition of Thanksgiving and create our own meaning in private has always struck me as odd. This commitment to Thanksgiving puts these left/radical critics in the position of internalizing one of the central messages promoted by the ideologues of capitalism -- that individual behavior in private is more important than collective action in public. The claim that through private action we can create our own reality is one of the key tenets of a predatory corporate capitalism that naturalizes unjust hierarchy, a part of the overall project of discouraging political struggle and encouraging us to retreat into a private realm where life is defined by consumption. So this November, rather than mount another attack on the national mythology around Thanksgiving -- a mythology that amounts to a kind of holocaust denial, and which has been critiqued for many years by many people -- I want to explore why so many who understand and accept this critique still celebrate Thanksgiving, and why rejecting such celebrations sparks such controversy. Once we know, what do we do? At this point in history, anyone who wants to know this reality of U.S. history -- that the extermination of indigenous peoples was, both in a technical, legal sense and in common usage, genocide -- can easily find the resources to know. If this idea is new, I would recommend two books, David E. Stannard's American Holocaust: Columbus and the Conquest of the New World and Ward Churchill's A Little Matter of Genocide. While the concept of genocide, which is defined as the deliberate attempt to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, came into existence after World War II, it accurately describes the program that Europeans and their descendants pursued to acquire the territory that would become the United States of America. Once we know that, what do we do? The moral response -- that is, the response that would be consistent with the moral values around justice and equality that most of us claim to hold -- would be a truth-and-reconciliation process that would not only correct the historical record but also redistribute land and wealth. In the white-supremacist and patriarchal society in which we live, operating within the parameters set by a greed-based capitalist system, such a process is hard to imagine in the short term. So, the question for left/radical people is: What political activity can we engage in to keep alive this kind of critique until a time when social conditions might make a truly progressive politics possible?
