Re: [IslamCity] Yvonne Ridley on webtv wtv8

2006-06-24 Thread syed dahij



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.

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

Eblees (king of devils) 11 --- Seek

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?
None other than ALMIGHTY ALLAH taught him.

[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:

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)

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.

  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

  "Islamism" Anglo-American Style Is

"Islamism" as we see it in occupied Iraq is the creation of the
Anglo-American Occupation. 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.

[IslamCity] WOMEN LEADING FRIDAY PRAYER IN NYC

2006-06-24 Thread Mahboob shariff
 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

2006-06-24 Thread Saba Khan
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 one’s
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.

[IslamCity] BISHOP TUTU ON PALESTINE

2006-06-24 Thread G.Waleed Kavalec
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?

[IslamCity] Expose Nazi Zionists Criminal Empire!

2006-06-24 Thread al_faruque



Expose Nazi Zionists Criminal Empire!

Security Council's Genocide in Iraq, New World Order and it's impact, partially blind harlot Clinton, liar Shrub and his miserable journey, Old Lies of 1990 to conspire an attack against Iraq by his father and American (zionised lies) to misguide America and her people. To All Media Executives for a taste only, Zionised BBC to demonstrate the reality, John Howard - the zionist slave have been compromising Australian interests for nazi Zionist Israel, Zionised Web Communities and The Editor are only a few more examples of the zionised world. Today, who can deny the fact that Hitler's love children are running Israel! 

Maths and Myths, along with The Zionised Corporate Government of Australia, spiced up with Indonesia Bashing Industry, nourished by Freedom of Speech, as well as British Conspiracy Against Indian Muslims and Big Brother Watching are only a few more examples corporate state and media.

Faruque vs Lucy has been looking for a debate. Alas! Instead of a discussion, insult and abuse were thrown at him. Ehud Barak's joke is a big slap across the faces of modern day journalists! $156 Million Sacred Cow is a classic example of hypocrisy and double standard. UK Journalist Vilified For Criticising Israel and UK Journalist Crucified For Criticising Israel speak for themselves. Nazi Zionist Criminals Exposed, Zionism vs Nazism, along with Ehudys' Generious Offer, Cruelty at Camp David and Chosen Peoples' Chosen Words clearly demonstrate the mind set of Israelites of our time. 

Much of a much for free speech! Sussex Jews for Justice group does not exist anymore!! Zionised Alamgir and his ant-Muslim and anti-Arab venom, Victimising the Victims and Free Speech in Australia can speak for themselves. Zionised Ershad Manji is loaded against Arabs and Muslims. Some Secret information regarding Israeli and Zionist crimes should not have to be remained secret. F 9/11 and all other documentaries are not appreciated in the zionised media outlets over the world. Religion and Terrorism can not e ignored by anyone. 

The 9/11 of 1967, Israeli Holocaust In Palestine proves The Slow Motion Holocaust conducted by the victims and children of the last holocaust. An Evening with Rod Barton, Author – Weapon's Detective, Sydney University begs us to go further and expose the real war criminals and terrorists of our time. 
For a flavour you may examine the followings too! Australian Zionist John Howard, The Zionised Corporate Government of Australia regarding East Timor, Asian and Muslim Hater Owns SC TV Indonesia along with Further Anti-Muslim Conspiracies to promote anti-Muslim filths based on false and engineered materials can't be denied! 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' (?)! Now, please try to think about those poor Palestinians who have been trying to survive in the longest running concentration camp known to mankind with a stamp of infinity!

Muslim girl tonsured for relationship with Hindu boy
UNI
Wednesday June 21 2006
http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IET20060620093739

VILLUPURAM: A minor Muslim girl was tonsured by a group of people on
June 11 for falling in love with a Hindu boy at Kallakurichi in this
district.

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.

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.

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.

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. The FBI is committed to ensuring that our
personnel become more culturally fluent so that

[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

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

Media Asked Not to Call Miami Terror Suspects 'Muslims'

Sect Trains 'Through the Bible,' Worships in 'Temple,' Not Mosque

WASHINGTON, June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- A prominent national Islamic civil
rights and advocacy group today called on media professionals not to
refer to seven terror suspects arrested in Miami as Muslims.

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

liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote

Don't link terror suspects to us, Muslim leaders say
Ruth Morris
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
June 24 2006
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-0624muslims,0,584506.story

Miami · Minutes after U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta announced
indictments on Friday against an alleged terror cell, a Muslim leader
took to the steps of the city's federal courthouse and said the
suspects were not known at either of two mosques near the warehouse
in the Liberty City neighborhood where authorities arrested them.
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
