Re: [IslamCity] Yvonne Ridley on webtv wtv8
Salam,Thank you for asking. However, there is no direct link nor archive yet for the interview. I do not want to sound apologetic for wtv8, but their server is small. Due to lack of funds and required personnel - we should note and remember that wtv8 is currently a purely voluntary group - wtv8 activities within and out of their studio are heavily curtailed.Still, they will put the interview in archive for easy access at a later date. InsyAllah, I will inform via egroups.[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Salaami could not find the interview on the website... can you post a direct link to the interview...thanxAltafOn Jun 18, 2006, at 6:05 AM, syed dahij wrote: Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Just thought you might like to know: Sis Yvonne Ridley is currently featured in an interview by a webtv in Malaysia. The webtv wtv8, is a voluntary effort by a group of brothers and sisters and as such their presentation might be on mark to some. Sis Yvonne Ridley was in Malaysia recently to attend the International Islamic Fair 2006 (9-11 June 2006), along with several celebrated speakers; the fair was jointly organised by the Saba Islamic Media and International Islamic Service. With kind permission from the organiser, wtv8 was able to secure this interview. A point to note on wtv8: It aspires to be an alternative news channel to the political scene in Malaysia. As such, almost all of its weekly releases are in Malay, the lingua franca in Malaysia. The Saturday, 9pm new editions are then repeated thoughout the week. wtv8 can be viewed at http://wtv8.tv and is best viewed using Windows Media Player. I have been made to understand that congestion might occur from time to time due to size of wtv8 server. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh SDahij Securitys tight.

Dear Brother, These figures are wrong. Check yourself before forwarding.

Holy Quran Interesting Figures Discovered some verses in the Holy Qur'an that mention one thing is equal to another, i.e. men are equal to women. Although this makes sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is that the number of times the word man appears in the Holy Qur'an is 24 and number of times the word woman appears is also 24, therefore not only is this phrase correct in the grammatical sense but also true mathematically, i.e. 24 = 24. Upon further analysis of various verses, he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole Holy Qur'an where it says one thing is like another. See below for astonishing result of the words mentioned number of times in Arabic Holy Qur'an Dunia (one name for life) 115 --- Aakhirat (one name for the life after this world) 115 Malaika (Angels) 88 --- Shayteen (Satan) 88 Life 145 --- Death 145 Benefit 50 --- Corrupt 50 People 50 --- Messengers 50 Eblees (king of devils) 11 --- Seek refuge from Eblees 11 Museebah (calamity) 75 --- Thanks 75 Spending (Sadaqah) 73 --- Satisfaction 73 Muslimeen 41 --- Jihad 41 Gold 8 --- Easy life 8 Magic 60 --- Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) 60 Zakat 32 --- Barakat (Increasing or blessings of wealth) 32 Mind 49 --- Noor 49 Speaking publicly 18 --- Publicising 18 Hardship 114 --- Patience 114 Mohammed 4 --- Sharee'ah (Mohammed's teachings) 4 Man 24 --- Woman 24 And amazingly enough have a look how many times the following words appear: Salat 5 , Month 12 Sea 32, Land 13 Sea + land = 32 + 13 = 45 Sea = 32/45*100 = 71.1% Land = 13/45*100 = 28.8889% Sea + land = 100% - AMAZING!!! Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% of the earth, while the land covers 28.889%. Is this a coincidence? Question is that Who taught Prophet Mohammed (SAW) all this?

[IslamCity] EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS HOPING FOR FUNDS
EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS HOPING FOR FUNDS Assalamu aleikum. Even as victims of last month's Yogyakarta earthquake suffer from neglect (article below), a new disaster is emerging from floods and mudslides in Sulawesi. For more information regarding Sulawesi: http://news.google.com/news?q=sulawesibtnG=Search+News --- Earthquake victims hoping for funds Suherdjoko The Jakarta Post June 21, 2006 http://www.thejakartapost.com/yesterdaydetail.asp?fileid=20060621.G01 - photo: ALL THAT REMAINS: An elderly man stands among a pile of bricks from what is left of his house in Barongan hamlet, Sumberagung village, Bantul, that collapsed completely in the May 27 earthquake. Some 200 villagers died in the quake. (JP/Suherdjoko) http://www.thejakartapost.com/caption/P8A.jpg - Bantul A fatigued-looking Wagiyem, 44, emerged from the makeshift tent where she lives near her earthquake-damaged house in Sumberagung village, Bantul. Her sweat-soaked face was a testament to the hardships of living in a small tent when the temperatures rose. But what else can we do ... My house was damaged by the earthquake on May 27. My husband has tried to forget the disaster by working as a construction worker in Yogyakarta, the mother of two said Tuesday. Bricks from the damaged walls of the house have been neatly stacked. Later, maybe tomorrow or maybe next month, they will be used to rebuild the house. We are still waiting for the assistance pledged by the government. How much help we will get, I don't know. The most important thing is that we need cash assistance. As soon as we get it, we will rebuild our house. Living in a tent is not comfortable, she said. Wagiyem is not alone in that sentiment. Nearly all the residents of Sumberagung village are living in tents, after the village was leveled in the quake. Of the 2,261 houses in Sumberagung, 1,291 were completely destroyed and 221 others suffered lighter damage. We've been forced to live like this. We have to accept the hardships because this situation will not change this month, it could be much longer, said Supanto, one of Wagiyem's neighbors. Supanto said the tents were like ovens during the day and refrigerators at night. Sumberagung village head Subardan said 205 of the village's 14,150 residents died in the quake. When the government decided to disburse cash to offset the effects of the higher fuel prices, everyone wanted to be classified as poor to get the Rp 100,000 a month. Now because of the quake, everyone has become poor, including the wealthy. We all instantly became poor, said Mugi Wiyono, head of the village's welfare services unit. Jetis district, were Suberagung is located, suffered the most deaths in the quake with more than 900. This figure continues to climb as people die of the injuries they sustained in the natural disaster. We just received information that another of our residents died. We feel as if we are being tested. We must be strong, said Jupri Sudarmo, the head of Sumberagung's administrative unit. Village officials have been busy since the disaster inventorying damaged houses and processing death certificates. All of the work is being done in a large tent provided by the Indonesian Military because the village office was badly damaged in the quake. I was working from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Only lately has the work begun to slow down so I can rest in the afternoon, village secretary Kuwat Hadi Santoso said. All village heads have been notified that residents whose homes were destroyed in the disaster are entitled to Rp 30 million in reconstruction funds. We have also been informed that an inventory team from the office of public works will come around to assess the damage, Subardan said. http://www.thejakartapost.com/detailnational.asp?fileid=20060621.G01 Yahoo!

[IslamCity] Jakarta Conf. Urges Heal of Muslim Rift
Jakarta Conf. Urges Heal of Muslim Rift IslamOnline.net News Agencies "There is still a lengthy list of conflicts within the Muslim community and even between Muslim communities and non-Muslims," said Yudhoyono (R). (Reuters) JAKARTA The Muslim world should first heal its internal rift and stand united to revive the glory days of Islam when Muslims were at the forefront of science and culture, Muslim leaders told a conference opening Tuesday, June 20, stressing that mutual respect was a must for a successful dialogue with the West. "There is still a lengthy list of conflicts within the Muslim community and even between Muslim communities and non-Muslims," Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono told the 2nd International Conference of Muslim Scholars in Jakarta, Reuters reported. Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi agreed, reported Malaysia's Bernma news agency. He said Muslims must take action to heal the rifts within the ummah so as to demonstrate, by word and by deed, "that Islam is indeed a religion of moderation which rejects bigotry, extremism and fanaticism, especially terrorism." The conference, organized by the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), brings together 300 Muslim scholars, university professors and dignitaries from both national and international organizations. The first International Conference of Muslim Scholars was organized by the NU in February 2004. Indonesia is the most populous Muslim state where Muslims make up 80% percent of the 220 million population. The NU is also one of the largest independent Islamic organizations in the world with some estimating its membership as high as 40 million. Reviving Glory Premier Abdullah urged Muslims to work hard to revive their glorious past. "Our shared history is in stark contrast to the current context, where Muslims are weak, with many living in abject poverty and deplorable conditions, with about 50 per cent of the population of Islamic countries living on less than US$2 a day, barely sufficient for subsistence living," he said. The Malaysian premier reminded the audience of a time when Muslims excelled in various fields, including politics, philosophy, the military, science, arts and, had in fact, dominated the world trade scene. "We must underline the importance of combating deviant ideology and develop educational curricula that firmly establish the values of understanding, tolerance, dialogue and multilateralism in accordance with the tenets of Islam." Malaysia offers the image of a model Muslim country, heading towards the status of developed nation with huge buildings, beautiful cities and a fast track economy. Abdullah launched on Friday, March 31, an ambitious development plan for Malaysia to become the first developed Muslim nation by 2020, with a special focus on higher education and training. "Politics of Domination" "Our shared history is in stark contrast to the current context, where Muslims are weak, with many living in abject poverty and deplorable conditions," said Badawi. (Reuters) The Indonesian leader said that mutual respect is a must to render the Islam-West dialogue a

It is sectarian and detrimental to Islam's values, to our Character, culture and heritage. We are witnessing its results where it is tearing Iraq and ripping it apart. It is not part of the Arab character. "Islamism", this style, is alien to us and will not replace our nationalism that binds us together. Arab Nationalism existed before the inception of Christianity and Islam and it will continue to exist. It is well rooted and entrenched in us. Islam was born in an Arab environment. The Holy Quran came to us in Arabic and Prophet Muhammad was an Arab. It came through the Arabs but not for the Arabs alone, it is a universal religion. Islam motivated the Arabs and helped them to unify their homeland and establish a large state with a very advanced civilization that was very important for the whole World; the imported sectarians of occupied Iraq are ripping the nation apart and casting it in an abyss. Arab nationalism of our modern days is the renewal of Islamic values, and it is humanitarian in its essence and depth. Arabs are very proud of their identity and they are very proud to carry the banner of Islam. We believe that our nationalism without Islam is like the body without a soul. Islamism, Iranian style or Al-Qaida style or the Anglo-American style will never find a fertile ground in our midst, it is alien to us and to Islam. Islam influenced our nationalism through the ages, and for this reason, our nationalism is humanitarian as well. We do not consider ourselves above other nations but we have our characteristics and our identity that we want to preserve. Our hope in the Iraqi National Resistance is very great to achieve victory, a victory that will restore dignity, hope and put us closer to liberate the entire Arab Homeland. * __._,_.___ *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.

[IslamCity] WOMEN LEADING FRIDAY PRAYER IN NYC
QUESTION: Woman leading Friday prayer in NYC DETAILS: Assalam o alaikum wa rehmatullah ... There is a fitna starting in NYC with a lady leading Friday prayers (please see the link mentioned at the end of my question). Is there ANY proof from our history for that? Did it ever happen in the time of Khilafa? Is there anything that you can provide against this to show as a proof to people who are confused? Jazakallah khairan. http://www.muslimwakeup.com/events/archives/2005/03/friday_prayer_l.php ANSWER: The programme of Amina Wadud lecturing and leading a mixed gathering for Jumua'h is motivated by her incorrect perception of the role of a Muslim woman. It is commonly propagated by the west that Islam has stifled women and has imprisoned them within the four walls. Unfortunately in recent times we find individuals who in the name of Islam seek to promote this very philosophy with increasing frequency. The reason is that the propagandists do not consider the basic aim of women's creation. The truth is that it is Allah who has created this Universe and its main inmates, men and women. The perception that is promoted is that women should also work side by side with men. In the zeal of their ceaseless propaganda, they have failed to reflect that if men and women were created for the same kind of work, why was it necessary to create them with different physical characteristics and bodily constitutions? Who can deny the fact that men and women have different bodily systems, habits, sentiments, susceptibilities and mental trends?! Allah has created each sex with different constitutions. To declare that there is no difference between men and women is self deception and a revolt against nature, because it is disbelieving our very eyes and senses. The difference between the physical constitution and sentimental trends of each cannot be effaced by artificial means, for e.g. Putting on the same garments or having the same hairstyle. The fact remains that the difference between men and women is too palpable to be denied and too real and true to be ignored. It is clear from the teachings of the Qur'aan and Sunnah that Human life stands divided into two branches: a) The domestic affairs of life. b) The outdoor affairs of life. Each branch is complimentary to each other. It is impossible to lead a balanced and moderate life without taking into account and meeting the requirements of both the branches of life. It is equally important to plan the domestic as well as the outdoor demands of life. Mans life can be stabilized with the help of these two branches. If one branch is ignored or preferred over the other, life will become disorganized and unbalanced. For the eyes to assume superiority over the nose because it is in an anatomically higher position is preposterous. The superiority of the Nose is easily rectified in the absence of light. Yet to further suppose that the Nose is superior to the hands, since it can smell that which cannot be felt, can be cast aside when plagued by a common cold. Yet when all these parts are in danger, it is the feet who usher on a hasty retreat and so becomes the hero of the day. Simply put different circumstances require different priorities and different reactions. No part takes preference or position over the other. For in the ultimate act of obedient submission, the Eyes, the Nose, the Hands and the Feet all bow down humbly for the pleasure of their Lord. Allah has distributed the duties between two sexes in such a way that men have been made responsible for outdoor duties, e.g. Earning a livelihood and looking after political and social affairs and women have been made responsible for domestic duties. If an intelligent survey of natural peculiarities of Man's creation, it will have to be admitted that there can be no better arrangement of the distribution of duties between men and women. The Qur'aan has issued a divine command addressed directly to the sacred wives of the Holy Prophet SAW and indirectly to all Muslim women. æóÞóÑúäó Ýöìú ÈõíõæúÊößõäøó(33/33) Remain in your houses This verse points out that women should stay in their houses and look after all household affairs. Sayyiduna Ali RA and Sayyidatuna Faatima RA distributed their duties in such a way that Sayyiduna Ali RA. executed the outdoor duties and Sayyidatuna Faatima RA. managed the domestic affairs. Almighty Allah has created women to look after the household affairs, to manage them and stabilize the family system. As soon as she went out of the house, it had to be locked because both the parents are out on their jobs the children in their schools. The family system is thus totally shattered. Women were created to remain in the house, to look after its affairs and to bring up the children in her affectionate lap. The mother's lap is the first training school for her child. It is there that the
[IslamCity] AN IMPORTANT WARNING IN RESPECT OF HEAVEN AND HELL
An Important warning in respect of heaven and hell (128) It is related by Abu Hurairah that the Apostle of God said: Hell has been surrounded with ease and luxuriousness, and Heaven has been surrounded with toil and suffering. -Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood and Nissai Commentary.-Generally, sins i.e., deeds that are to be expected to lead one to Hell are a source of sensuous enjoyment, while duties i.e., deeds that make one deserving of admission to Paradise come hard on the flesh. Thus, the ultimate destination of the bondsman who will yield to his inordinate appetites and perform evil deeds shall be Hell while the bondsman who will observe the commands of God and remain faithful to Him shall make his abode in Heaven. (129) It is related by Abu Hurairah that the Apostle of God said: When God created Heaven, He told Gabriel to go and see it [as to how He had made Paradise with its astounding boons and comforts]. Gabriel, thus, went and saw Heaven and the wonderful things the Lord had provided in it. On return, he exclaimed, O Lord ! By Thy Glory and Thy Magnificence, [Thou hast made Heaven so beautiful and got ready such blessings in it that I am sure that] anyone who hears about it will attain it [i.e., he will be fired with the desire to live there permanently and will again his objective by performing the good deeds that are needed to go to Heaven and avoiding the evil things] God, then, surrounded Heaven with toll and hardship [i.e., He enclosed it on all sides with the injunctions of the Shariat to observe which calls for a great deal of self-denial and earnest endeavour], and, once again, told Gabriel to go and see Heaven [with the new barricade built around it]. So, once more, Gabriel went and saw Paradise, and, on his return, he exclaimed, Our Lord ! By The Glory and Thy Magnificence, now I fear that no one will be able to attain it [i.e., the condition of the observance of the laws of the Shariat Thou hast prescribed is so very hard that, perhaps, no one will be in a position to fulfil it]. Again, when God created Hell, He told Gabriel to go and see it [and the various forms of punishment He had put together there]. Thus, Gabriel went and saw it, and, on coming back, he said, O Lord ! By Thy Glory and Thy Magnificence, [Thou hast made Hell such an infernal place that] whoever hears about it will never enter it [i.e,. he will strictly refrain from acts that are likely to take him to Hell]. God, then surrounded Hell with material comforts and bodily enjoyment and told Gabriel, again, to go and see it. So, once more, Gabriel went and saw Hell [and the ring of sensual pleasures that had been put around it]. On return, he exclaimed, O Lord! By Thy Glory and Thy Magnificence, now I fear that everyone will make his home in it [i.e., the pleasures with which Thou hast encompassed Hell hold such an attraction for man, with all his animal desires and propensities, that, perhaps, everyone will yield to them and end up in the bottomless pit]. -Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood and Nissai Commentary.-The special lesson the above Tradition carries is that the sequel of gratifying ones inclinations and desires [which, apparently, is so pleasing] is the fearful chastisement of Hell, a moment of which will make one forget the joys and comforts of a lifetime, while the end of a life, of loyalty and submission to Divine injunctions [which seems so hard and cheerless to our carnal selves] is Paradise, the home of perfect felicity and eternal bliss. (130) It is related by Abu Hurairah that the Apostle of God said: I have not seen a fearful calamity like Hell that the one running away from it may have fallen asleep, and I have not seen an attractive thing like Heaven that the one desiring it may have slept. -Tirmidhi Commentary.-It is natural for man that when he runs to save his life from an evil thing like a ferocious beast or a pursuing enemy, he keeps running and does not think of rest or sleep till he has attained safety. Similarly, when a person strives eagerly for a desirable object he forgets about rest and sleep till he has succeeded in his aim. But towards Heaven and Hell our attitude is hard to explain. There is no more alluring thing than Heaven, but instead of trying our utmost to attain it, we are inclined to be negligent while there is no more detestable thing than Hell yet those who should be fleeing from it are fast asleep. __ Do You Yahoo!?

BISHOP TUTU ON PALESTINE BISHOP DESMOND TUTU, GUARDIAN - I've been very deeply distressed in my visit to the Holy Land; it reminded me so much of what happened to us black people in South Africa. I have seen the humiliation of the Palestinians at checkpoints and roadblocks, suffering like us when young white police officers prevented us from moving about. . . I have experienced Palestinians pointing to what were their homes, now occupied by Jewish Israelis. . . My heart aches. I say why are our memories so short. Have our Jewish sisters and brothers forgotten their humiliation? Have they forgotten the collective punishment, the home demolitions, in their own history so soon? Have they turned their backs on their profound and noble religious traditions? Have they forgotten that God cares deeply about the downtrodden? Israel will never get true security and safety through oppressing another people. A true peace can ultimately be built only on justice. . . We in South Africa had a relatively peaceful transition. If our madness could end as it did, it must be possible to do the same everywhere else in the world. If peace could come to South Africa, surely it can come to the Holy Land? http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/comment/0,10551,706911,00.html Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.

Faruque vs Lucy has been looking for a debate. Alas! Instead of a discussion, insult and abuse were thrown at him.

Australian Tradition and ozcabs heroes, with the Racist Sydney Radio Incited This Violence and Islamic Law and Women in Nigeria, clearly demonstrate the influence of the zionised media and subsequently "public punching bags" attacks on innocent people for a total false gain. Faruque Ahmed vs Radio Terrorists flourishes the very unfair nature of the Australian judiciary and bureaucracy. Anti-Muslim and Arab 2GB and like minded media outlets were exposed by the Anti Discrimination Commissioner at his Sydney University lecture. Yet, the 2GB is not guilty of inciting violence! Faruque's Crushing Defeat (with radio 2GB) demonstrates the style of justice in Australia, Faruque's Victory deals with a totally negative attitude towards Muslims, Cabcharge Story talks about another dimension of corruption in Australia and American Terrorism and Brain Washing shows the brain waves of Australian members of the judiciary. English To ANZAC provoked Australian Tradition and ozcabs heroes and real psyche of Australian "punching bags". Nonetheless, most Muslims and Arabs are Semite and therefore the Arabs and Muslims can not be accused as "anti-Semites". However some people have been doing so for a long time without any valid reason and ground. The so called Israelis and their supporters are only 25% Semites and therefore the false `defence shield' called "anti-Semitism" is totally absurd and idiotic. Ironically, this part of the Semite have been vandalised in many many times by the `chosen people' (?)!

According to a delayed report, the girl's father did not object to it and indeed favoured their marriage after the 16-year-old turned 18. The family of the boy, also 16, too agreed to the marriage. But a group of local Muslims chided her and advised to sever her relations with the boy. This was despite her father advising a section of the group not to interfere as it was their family matter. On June 11, when the group saw the two together, they dragged the girl, beat her and tonsured her head to teach her a lesson. The matter was informed to the district superintendent of police on Tuesday, with the parents of the girl filing a complaint seeking action against those who had tonsured their daughter's head. http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IET20060620093739 Yahoo!

Re: [IslamCity] ZIONISTS GLOAT AT REDUCED MUSLIM BIRTH RATE IN PALESTINE
don't worry it's still high. and they will lose the demographic battle. "jumadaaloola1427" wrote: ZIONISTS GLOAT AT REDUCED MUSLIM BIRTH RATE IN PALESTINE Assalamu aleikum. The zionists view joyously their statistics that say that there is a drop in the Muslim fertility rate. They know that the war for Palestine is mostly a war of demographics and their wish is to prevent Muslims from gaining a majority in the zionist pseudostate. The following article has frothed up from the sewer of zionist media. As with any zionist media, if accessing the original article from Haaretz, be sure to use security precautions. --- Big drop in Israeli Arab fertility rates By Shahar Ilan Haaretz Friday, June 16, 2006 http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/727568.html The fertility rate among Arab women in Israel has declined steadily in the past five years, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics. Fertility rate signifies the number of children a woman is expected to deliver during the course of her life. The fertility rate among Israel's Muslims was more than nine children in the 1960s. By 1985, it had dropped to 4.7 children, and then remained at this level for the next 15 years. Over the past five years, the decline resumed, with the fertility rate dropping 8 percent - from 4.74 children per Muslim woman in 2000 to 4.36 in 2004. During the same period, the fertility rate for Jewish women rose slightly, from 2.66 to 2.71. Another relevant figure is the number of births per thousand. Among the Jewish population, the number of births per thousand rose from 18.7 in 2000 to 19.2 in 2004. In contrast, the number of births per thousand among the Muslim population plummeted during the same period, from 37.5 to 33.2 - a drop of 11 percent. The number of Jewish births in Israel rose from 92,000 in 2000 to 100,000 in 2004 - an increase of 9 percent. Meanwhile, there were 36,000 Muslim births in 2000 and the same number in 2004. The very next year brought a drop of 5 percent, to 34,000 Muslim births. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/727568.html __._,_.___ *** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.

[IslamCity] MANY MUSLIMS ARE NO LONGER FOOLED BY FBI
MANY MUSLIMS ARE NO LONGER FOOLED BY FBI Assalamu aleikum. Regrettably, many would-be leaders continue to cooperate with the FBI against the Muslims: Her doubts loom a week after Muslim leaders and an FBI senior agent shook hands and patted each other on the back ... --- Muslims leery of FBI activity Assurances that the community isn't under watch meet with skepticism. By CINDY CARCAMO and SONYA SMITH The Orange County Register Saturday, June 17, 2006 http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/homepage/abox/article_1184727.php Marya Bangee doesn't know what to believe. The UC Irvine sophomore thinks the fact that she's Muslim is the reason she's been singled out for searches at airports and been scrutinized by police at anti-war demonstrations. She's also distrustful of the FBI, uncertain whether the agency is telling the complete story of whether its employees are monitoring Orange County's Muslim community. Her doubts loom a week after Muslim leaders and an FBI senior agent shook hands and patted each other on the back, concluding a meeting that addressed conflicting reports as to whether the community is being watched. Los Angeles FBI Assistant Director Stephen Tidwell adamantly denied that his agents were monitoring Orange County's Muslim community. The Muslim community is not of concern to us, he told more than 200 people at the Islamic Center of Irvine. Bangee called the meeting a good start to a relationship. But I do not think we accomplished anything as yet, she said. The issue arose May 24, when Pat Rose, head of FBI's Orange County al-Qaida squad, said during a meeting of the Pacific Club that there are a lot of individuals of interest. Asked whether citizens should be worried about activist Muslim students at UCI, she said it was another tough question to answer. The FBI hasn't said who is being monitored, but Rose admitted that electronic surveillance is being used in Orange County. Robert J. Cristiano of Newport Beach, who attended the Pacific Club meeting, said some are misinterpreting Rose's comments. I think it's much ado about nothing, said Cristiano, a club member who was speaking only for himself. What I heard her say was that no community is immune. I took it as she stated it. No group is singled out. No group is immune (from surveillance). Bangee's skepticism of exactly what is going on may be warranted, said an Arab-American civil-rights activist and a former FBI agent. They cite several instances of agents asking people which mosque they attend and whom they visited during family vacations to the Middle East. The Muslim community and the FBI are like two ships passing in the night, said James Wedick, a 35-year FBI agent who owns an investigations agency in a Sacramento suburb. The bureau has yet to honestly deal with how to communicate with the Arab and Muslim community and the Arab community distrusts them because of good reason because of paid informants getting sent into the community for less than legitimate reasons, he said. The FBI community is upset by Rose's statements, he said. She was probably being more candid than Tidwell would want you to believe, said Wedick, whose wife works for the agency. Now they're trying to repair the damage that they've done. Ban Al-Wardi, an activist in the Arab-American community and an immigration lawyer, said the FBI typically denies monitoring a group. She said she's worked cases in Orange County and elsewhere in Southern California in which agents monitored board meetings and the financial transactions of Arab-American organizations. In addition, she said, agents have asked college students questions about their mosque and what the iman preaches. She said the FBI tries to gain the community's trust on the pretext of protecting Muslims from hate crimes and backlash. Another question is whether monitoring is legal and protected by the Patriot Act, which was enacted after 9/11 and dramatically expands the terrorism-fighting authority of U.S. law enforcement. Wedick said agents must have reasonable suspicion of some type of criminal activity before they monitor or investigate a community or a person. Agents invited by community members can legally ask questions and visit mosques without needing reasonable suspicion, Wedick said. Unfortunately there are occasions when reasonable cause has been less than reasonable, he said, pointing to the case of a Lodi man and his son. They pleaded guilty to lesser charges after being accused of having connections to al-Qaida. The four-year investigation of the Central California city's large Muslim community began after a former Lodi resident gave erroneous information to FBI agents. No evidence surfaced of any al-Qaida connections. The FBI on Friday released a statement announcing that its agents plan to undergo training at a Los Angeles mosque to learn more about Muslim religion and culture.

[IslamCity] FBI SAYS BIBLE CULT PLANNED TO BLOW UP SEARS TOWER
FBI SAYS BIBLE CULT PLANNED TO BLOW UP SEARS TOWER Assalamu aleikum. Moderate and liberal so-called Muslims often wonder why Islam does not accommodate their falsehoods. Here is the classic example why, reconstructed from the article below: - Brother Cory, as the black man with dreadlocks called himself, said he belonged to Seas of David. We study and believe in the word of God. This is a place where we worship ... We study Allah and the worship of the regular Bible ... We have soldiers in Chicago ... We train through the Bible ... not only physical but mentally ... we're worshipers of this temple here. And we allow certain people to come and join our prayer. - And now genuine Muslims struggling under the dajjal Bush regime are targeted to take the hit for what some Christian cultists masquerading as Muslim wannabes were plotting. SubhanAllah! Those regular Bible study temple bozos have more in common with Freemasonry's Shriners than they do with Islam. Let the FBI investigate the Shriners instead of the Muslims. And let the media stir up the populace against the Shriners, not the Muslims. Who knows what face actually lurks behind the clown's mask? The article below is also instructive as to FBI tactics of infiltration. Actual Muslim groups and organizations need always to identify and weed out the agents so that they cannot misuse discussions to construct a conspiracy where none exists. --- FBI arrests seven in apparent plot on Chicago Sears Tower AFP Friday June 23, 2006 http://sg.news.yahoo.com/060623/1/41ogn.html - photo: FBI arrests seven in apparent plot on Chicago Sears Tower AFP Photo http://sg.news.yahoo.com/060623/1/41ogni.html - The US Justice Department was expected to provide details of an alleged plot to attack the Chicago Sears Tower skyscraper, in which at least seven people were arrested in Miami. The arrests on Thursday by the FBI together with federal, state and local authorities were part of an ongoing investigation into a terrorist-related matter, the US attorney's office in Miami said in a statement. Media reports citing unnamed officials said seven people -- five US citizens and two foreigners, including a Haitian -- were arrested for plotting to attack the 110-story, 442-meter (1,450-foot) Sears Tower, the world's third tallest building, as well as other buildings in Miami. Another person was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, as well, according to television reports. ABC television said the group had been infiltrated by a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent posing as an Islamic radical. The individuals arrested posed no immediate threat to our community, the US attorney statement said. FBI director Robert Mueller told CNN television Thursday that operations were still under way. I can tell you that we do have an ongoing operation in Miami. We are conducting a number of arrests and searches, and we'll have more about that when the operation is concluded, probably (Friday) morning, Mueller said. Because it's an ongoing operation, I really can't get into details. But whenever we undertake an operation like this, we would not do it without the approval of a judge. We've got search warrants and arrest warrants and the like, Mueller said. The Justice Department was planning to announce details of the plot at a news conference later Friday. Law enforcement officials quoted Friday by The Washington Post said the plotting was in its early states and that no weapons or explosives had been seized as of late Thursday from the searched locations. The arrests took place in Liberty City, a poor neighborhood north of Miami, according to local and national media. Residents said that the men who were arrested appeared to be part of a cult of at least a dozen people, sleeping in a warehouse, dressing in military-like clothing and doing exercises. CNN late Wednesday interviewed a member of the organization in Liberty City. Brother Cory, as the black man with dreadlocks called himself, said he belonged to Seas of David, repeatedly denying it was a terrorist group or that it had any ties to Al-Qaeda. We are not terrorists. ... We study and believe in the word of God. This is a place where we worship, Cory said. He refused to provide the names of those arrested, insisting his group was a religious organization: We study Allah and the worship of the regular Bible. He said the group was trying to raise bail money for the Haitian member who was arrested. Cory also said his group had connections in Chicago. We have soldiers in Chicago, he said, clarifying that by soldier he meant: We train through the Bible ... not only physical but mentally. Asked if it was true that a member of his group had pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda, Cory said No, sir. Right now the only thing I can tell you is that we're worshipers of this temple here. And we allow certain people to come and join our prayer. Southern Florida has previous links to terrorism: several of those who took part in the

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said media reports indicate that the suspects are part of a sect called Seas of David. When asked by CNN why group members refer to themselves as soldiers, Brother Corey said: Because we study and we train through the bible, not only physical -- not only physical, but mentally. Group members also worship in a temple, not in an Islamic mosque. SEE: Terror Arrests in Miami (CNN) (The relevant interview is toward the bottom of the page.) http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/22/acd.02.html The group bears some resemblance to the cult of Yahweh ben Yahweh, which operated in the same part of Miami, Liberty City, in the 1980s. Given that the reported beliefs of this bizarre group have nothing to do with Islam, we ask members of the media to refrain from calling them 'Muslims,' said CAIR spokesperson Ahmed Bedier. He thanked U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta for noting that today's indictment ... is not against a particular group or a particular faith. Bedier urged the government to avoid confusing the public by using Arabic terminology in referring to the case. In a briefing today in Miami, government officials did not call the suspects Muslims, but did refer to allegations of plans for violent jihad. At a news conference earlier today in Miami, CAIR called on police departments nationwide to protect mosques and other Islamic institutions from any possible backlash prompted by the mistaken linkage of this case to the American Muslim community. CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 32 offices, chapters and affiliates nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

Ahmed Bedier, of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said he and other Muslims feared some would try to connect Islam and the men's alleged plot to blow up a slew of federal buildings and the Sears Tower in Chicago. This seems like some kind of cult group that shares nothing with our community, Bedier told reporters of the suspects. He asked the pressnews media not to refer to the suspects as Muslims. Muslims don't worship at warehouses, Bedier said. They don't sleep in warehouses. Concerned the case might lead some to paint defaming graffiti, damage mosques or homes, CAIR's legal director in Florida, Areeb Naseer, asked police to be vigilant. We are concerned about a backlash against the Muslim community as a result of these arrests, Naseer said. Incidents of vandalism against Muslim shops, mosques and community centers increased after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., which also prompted authorities to search Arab-Americans at airport security checkpoints, community leaders said. Law enforcement officials sought to preempt any negative, generalized reactions. Today's indictment is against individuals. It's not against a particular group or a particular faith, U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta said. The grand jury's indictment said the group's alleged ringleader, NarsealÖ Batiste, told a confidential informant he meant to build an Islamic Army to wage a holy war. But in Liberty City, where camera crews set up
