*Red carpet to Saffron Friend, Protests gathering momentum*

December 11, 2006
[image: The Shankaracharya is charged with the murder of temple official A.
Sankararaman on Nov 12, 2004, and is currently on bail] Kanchi Seer in
Police Jeep
The Kerala government has decided to give state guest status to the
Shankaracharya of Kanchi, Jayendra Saraswati, when he arrives here Tuesday.
The Shankaracharya is charged with the murder of temple official  A.
Sankararaman on Nov 12, 2004, and is currently on bail. In a press release
from Kollam, Dr. M.S. Jayaprakash, noted  historian  protested against
Kerala Government's decision to provide red carpet to the accused. He
alleged that the state government is recalling the laws of Manusmrithi which
upheld the doctrine of Every Brahmin is above the Law.
The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) government of V.S.
Achuthanandan has instructed 15 different departments of the government to
treat the controversial seer as a state guest during his four-day visit to
the state.

The charges against the seer are framed not only under Art. 302 (alleged
murder), but also under the serious provisions of Art. 202 (criminal
conspiracy) and Art. 127 ( causing disappearance of the evidences). The
letter written by Shankararaman was found in the Mutt and the mobile phones
of the arrested Goondas carried the Mutt telephone numbers. And the bank
transaction after the murder, as revealed by the Mutt account in
Kancheepuram ICICI bank, provide a strong evidence of disbursing huge
amounts of money to the hired-killers. These evidences form the 'prima
facie' to arrest the seer. The 1,873-page charge sheet names 370 witnesses
and includes 712 documents.

The deceased who had accused the Shankaracharya of money laundering and
later moved court to prevent him from travelling abroad on the premise that
Hindu rites did not allow so, was stabbed to death by miscreants in
September 2004. The police claimed that two of the 14 persons arrested in
the case pointed to Saraswati's 'direct involvement' in the case. The public
prosecutor told the court that there was clinching evidence that favoured
the arrest of the seer.

The criminal cases against the seer needs to be delinked from the religious
institution he represents. No doubt, he needs to be allowed every recourse
to law and rights guaranteed by the Constitution as a citizen of India, but
no more like of a Official State Guest of Government of  Kerala now . The
likes of the sangh parivar
http://www.dalitvoice.org/Templates/dec2004/editorial.htmcould not rule
the state government policy, says Thodiyoor Kunju Mohammed Moulavi, a Muslim
Leader in Kerala.

P. Ramabadran, President of Kerala Dalit Panthers Party, ridiculed the
government decision and said it is an attempt to grab votes from sangh
parivar lobby in the state. Offering the state guest status to Jayendra
Saraswathi reveals the folly of communism in Kerala, which always proud of
itself in fighting against Hindutva. He asked the political parties in
kerala to openly air their stand on the issue since the act of government
will polarize the communal division in the state.

Some critics consider Kerala Government's  decision as a timely tactics to
divide the Tamil public opinion who are unanimously stood against Kerala on
the issue  of Mullaperiyar Dam. Tamil Nadu state is currently ruled by Mr.
Karunanidhi, of  Dravida Munnetta Kazhagam (DMK)  Party which is having a
historical and deep ideological conflict with Brahmin supermacy represented
by the Kanchi Mutt.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Holy Ghost

The Holy Ghost 2-87-7

To see the Arabic clearly, click View, encoding, Arabic, Arabic will
show.

http://www.arabacademy.com/contact_e.htm

  In order to work as an Ummah, stop working as individuals,
someone sent me this link for learning Arabic on the Net, and I am
sharing it with you even without his asking, because I believe it is
our duty to read Qur'aan in the language Allah chose for it.

  Let us make a Zikir, Ayah 3:191 says:

ÇáÐíä íÐßÑæä Çááå ÞíÇãÇ æÞÚæÏÇ æÚáì ÌäæÈåã æíÊÝßÑæä Ýí ÎáÞ ÇáÓãÇæÇÊ
æÇáÃÑÖ, ÑÈäÇ ãÇ ÎáÞÊ åÐÇ ÈÇØáÇ ÓÈÍÇäß ÝÞäÇ ÚÐÇÈ ÇáäÇÑ

Those who mention Allah standing, sitting, even on their sides,
thinking about the creation of Heavens and Earth, O LORD, you did
not create all this for just a waste, please save us from hell.
Mention Allah in any shape you are, even if you are in sickness and
lying on your side, pray even with your eyes, ask Allah to forgive
you, this creation is not there for you to ignore the truthfulness
of the words Allah gave, Hell and Heaven are true and a fact.

Al Salaam Aleikum, we are still trying to understand
Ayah 2:87, this is our message number 7 about this Ayah, which says:

æáÞÏ ÂÊíäÇ ãæÓì ÇáßÊÇÈ æÞÝíäÇ ãä ÈÚÏå ÈÇáÑÓá æÁÇÊíäÇ ÚíÓì ÇÈä ãÑíã
ÇáÈíäÇÊ æÃíÏäÇå ÈÑæÍ ÇáÞÏÓ

And We gave Moses the Book, following him we sent messengers, and
we gave Isa (Jesus) the son of Mary what clarifies all things, We
also supported him with the Holy Ghost. We said the last time: the
situation of Isa PBUH is so dangerous, that is why the weak fell for
the evil whispers of Satan, making the weak to elevate Isa PBUH to a
God for worship. We said it takes each miracle Isa PBUH did with the
help of the Holy Ghost to make the ignorant misunderstand this help
came from Allah, and Isa cannot do any of it, as their book of John
5:30, Jesus saying: I can do nothing of my own accord, Ayah 43:59
says:

Åä åæ ÅáÇ ÚÈÏ ÃäÚãäÇ Úáíå æÌÚáäÇå ãËáÇ áÈäí ÅÓÑÇÆíá

Isa is just a humble worshiper for Allah, Allah blessed him, and
made him an example for the children of Israel. Some of us may
wonder, what Allah is talking about, Isa PBUH is an example to the
Israelis, what about those so called Christians, is not Isa for
them? My friend, my messages are to share the words of Allah with
you in the best of ways, also to show you the truthfulness of those
words. Isa PBUH had nothing to do with Christians, Allah sent him to
Israelis, but a man named Paul claimed Jesus came for the whole
world, this is a clear indication how Paul defied what God they
believe in, how? In their book of Mathew 15:24; Jesus said: I am not
sent but unto the house of Israel. My friends, Christians never wish
to hear a word Jesus said, they have Paul, and they are content.
Qur'aan says Isa PBUH was sent as a messenger to Israelis (3:49), in
their book the man said: he was sent only to the house of Israel,
Christians are not the house of Israel, and this is what Allah said.
There book says about Jesus: to his own he came and his own rejected
him, Christians who accepted Jesus have no business accepting or
denying him, he is not sent for them. Yet, Christians adopted Jesus,
adopted the Jewish book, renamed it to the Old Testament to alter
and change it as they wish to fit prophecies about Jesus, then they
elevated the man into a God for worship, why?

  We do need to remember where those Christians came from,
what is their true Background. The first Christians were made by
Paul at Old Europe, especially Greece and Rome (Italy), both of
which were full with nonsense about many Gods, and the story of
Hercules, whose father is the greatest among the Gods Zeus, and his
mother a human being, exactly like the story of Trinitarians, Jesus
from Mary the human, is the son of something called the father, who
is the God of Gods. It was so easy for those who drank this fiction
since childhood to make another man a God, without paying attention
to what is written in their books even. What happened then, we have
a man Jesus, and a God from the same, this confusion made them
invent a silly faith, how?

  Please ask them with love the following questions: How
Jesus is God and sitting on the right hand side of God? How a God
sits on his own right hand side, takes a nut to talk, and a sane to
understand. Ask them: how Jesus is God and the son to himself, since
they claim he was the son of God. How any God can be his own son,
and his own father in the same relation? Some ignorant would say: I
am the father to my child, and the son to my father, but here we are
talking about three completely different people, not three in one.
Ask them: How Jesus is God and the high priest of God according to
the book of Hebrews, is it usual for their Gods to become their own
high priests (self service Gas station)?  Ask them: the mother of
Jesus was Mary, what is the name of the mother of the father, did
God of the Old testament had a mother like Jesus God had one, Mary
could not be the mother

'Bomb plot' terror charge dropped 
  
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6175427.stm 
   
  A Pakistani judge has ruled there is not enough evidence to try a key suspect 
in an alleged airline bomb plot on terrorism charges. 
   
  He has moved the case of Rashid Rauf from an anti-terrorism court to a 
regular court, where he faces lesser charges such as forgery. 
   
  Pakistan has presented Mr Rauf as one of the ringleaders behind the alleged 
plan to blow up flights out of London. 
  
The British authorities say they foiled it with Pakistan's help in August. 
  
'Explosives' 
  
The arrest of Rashid Rauf in Pakistan triggered arrests in the UK of a number 
of suspects allegedly plotting to blow up transatlantic flights. 
  
The Pakistani authorities described him as a key figure. 
But an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi found no evidence that he had been 
involved in terrorist activities or that he belonged to a terrorist 
organisation. 
  
As well as forgery charges, Mr Rauf has also been charged with carrying 
explosives. 
But his lawyer says police evidence amounts only to bottles of hydrogen 
peroxide found in his possession. 
Hydrogen peroxide is a disinfectant that can be used for bomb-making if other 
chemicals are added. 
  
'Suspected conspiracy' 
In August, the British government requested the extradition of Mr Rauf, a 
Briton of Pakistani origin, in connection with a murder committed in 2002. 
  Scotland Yard declined to discuss which murder case the request related to. 
  The government in Pakistan, which has no extradition treaty with the UK, said 
it was considering the request. 
Rashid Rauf was arrested in Pakistan earlier that month over the alleged plot 
to blow up US-bound aircraft, Pakistan's foreign ministry said. He has been 
described by Pakistan's government as a key person in the suspected 
conspiracy. 
   
  Comment
   
  Alhamdulilah, the truth has prevailed over the flasehood. The British 
Government claimed that they foiled the alleged terror plots with help from 
Pakistan and there i was thinking that colonialism had ended and Pakistan was a 
sovereign independent nation. It seems that some of the Muslims especially 
those ruling over Muslim countries are still mentally colonised and subserviant 
to the demands and wishes of western nations.
   
  The independent judiciary found the brother not guilty of any terrorism 
charges based on the evidence and exposed the 2 Governments for what they are 
allies in the war against Islam, under the guise of terror.
   
  Where now are the sensationalised razmataz headlines for their innocence?
   
  Where are the big bold black headlines?
   
  And shame on any Muslim who condemned without proof, this should teach us a 
very important lesson regarding Non-Muslim Governments and the western media 
which claims to be unbiased and independent of the Government.

Vilified over sip of bubbly

THE state's most promising young Muslim leader has become the victim of a hate 
campaign because she celebrated with a glass of champagne after being named NSW 
Young Australian of the Year.
  
Iktimal Hage-Ali, 22, has been targeted on Muslim websites for drinking alcohol 
and declining to wear the traditional hijab.Her anonymous attackers condemned 
her after she drank the champagne to toast her award at the NSW Art Gallery 
last Thursday.
  
It's true, I was celebrating. Bloody hell, I had a glass of champagne in my 
hand – so what? Ms Hage-Ali told The Daily Telegraph yesterday.
The Islamic youth website Muslim Village posted dozens of messages berating Ms 
Hage-Ali.
  
A person who drinks champagne, especially unabashedly, cannot represent the 
Muslim community, one member wrote. Another added: She knows we don't 
appreciate her representing us – but it's the power that drives her. Drinking 
champagne, that is sick.The cowardly accusers also berated Ms Hage-Ali for 
wearing revealing clothes, nail polish and make-up.
  
Her matching nails, eye shadow and top . . . were not . . . how Islam would 
like to portray a Muslim female to the wider community, one said. Yet while 
the majority criticised her, a few did come to her defence.
  
It wonderful that a young Muslim woman has won the award and that is a cause 
for celebration, not denigration, one chatroom member wrote.Ms Hage-Ali, who 
is a finalist for the national Young Australian of the Year to be named next 
month, said she was shocked by the tirade, but refused to tone her comments 
down.
I'm proud of what I have done, my family is proud, my friends are proud, my 
colleagues are proud, the State Government public servant and tireless 
community worker said.
  
They're not looking at the fact that a young Muslim person has won a 
prestigious award – they are looking for the negatives.
Ms Hage-Ali is regarded as one of the Muslim community's most progressive young 
voices since joining Prime Minister John Howard's Muslim Reference Group.
She accepted her public profile would draw criticism but did not claim to speak 
on behalf of all Muslims.

Young Muslim leader arrested
Exclusive by Kara Lawrence and Luke McIlveen
December 13, 2006 12:00


YOUNG Muslim leader Iktimal Hage-Ali – a handpicked adviser to the Prime 
Minister – was arrested in a cocaine bust eight days before receiving the NSW 
Young Australian of the Year award.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal Ms Hage-Ali, 22, was one of four people arrested 
by detectives from the Middle Eastern organised crime squad on November 22 as 
part of Strike Force Kirban. She was arrested at her Punchbowl home and taken 
to Bankstown police station, where she was questioned over a cocaine supply 
ring allegedly operating in Sydney's southwest.
  
The leading member of John Howard's Muslim Community Reference Group was 
released without charge. Police seized what is believed to be prohibited drugs, 
cash and ammunition from several of the homes. Ms Hage-Ali's home was not 
searched, but she had been identified by police as a suspect.
  
The Daily Telegraph first learned of her arrest last week, but Ms Hage-Ali 
vehemently denied any involvement or links to alleged drug suppliers.
If it is true, why hasn't it come out? she said. I am a high-profile person, 
I have no idea why people would be saying this.
  
The prominent youth leader has worked full-time as a personal assistant in the 
NSW Attorney-General's department for three months. Ms Hage-Ali claimed last 
week that she had only been to Bankstown police station on two occasions – once 
to report a threatening text message after the Cronulla riots and more recently 
to talk to police about how to relate better to Muslims.
  
She did not return calls yesterday, despite repeated requests to respond to the 
allegations. A Daily Telegraph investigation has confirmed that Ms Hage-Ali was 
taken to Bankstown police station on November 22, where she participated in a 
police interview.
  
Following the interview, police exercised their discretionary powers to allow 
her to leave without facing charges. Ms Hage-Ali was one of four people 
targeted in the raids. The other three, males aged 17, 22 and 23, are facing 
the courts on drug supply charges.
  
Two were arrested in Telopea St, Punchbowl, while a third was a Greenacre man.
In raids on the men's homes, police allegedly seized cash, pills and powders, 
believed to be prohibited drugs. Eight days after the arrests, Ms Hage-Ali 
received her NSW Young Australian of the Year award from Governor Marie Bashir.
She has been considered a frontrunner for the national award, to be announced 
on Australia Day.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Pilgrimage - A Question Of Validity

2006-12-15 Thread Alan Border
It is no crime in you if ye seek of the bounty of your Lord (during 
pilgrimage). Then when ye pour down from (Mount) Arafat, celebrate the praises 
of Allah at the Sacred Monument, and celebrate His praises as He has directed 
you, even though, before this, ye went astray.”
  (Al-Qur'an, 2:198 (Al-Baqara [The Cow])
  A Question Of Validity
   
  http://ourdialogue.com/answers/articles.php?action=showshowarticle=1134
   
  Question
  When I offered the pilgrimage last year, I was not fully aware of all the 
duties I had to do and their timing. I did the Sa’ie before doing the tawaf of 
arrival. I missed the sacrifice because when I went to the bank, they were not 
accepting any new payments. I also missed the tawaf of farewell. Is my 
pilgrimage valid? 
   
  Answer
  The Sa’ie has always to be done after a tawaf. It can be done after the tawaf 
on arrival or the tawaf of Ifadah. If you were asking me the same question 
during your pilgrimage, I would have told you to repeat the Sa’ie after the 
tawaf of Ifadah. However, since the pilgrimage is over and you have returned 
home, I hope that your mistake falls within the category for which no 
compensation is required. The Prophet, peace be upon him, says: My nation has 
been forgiven what they do through genuine mistakes, or out of forgetfulness, 
or what they are forced to do. I pray that this applies to you in this 
particular case. 
   
  As for the sacrifice, it remains outstanding. You can offer it this year 
instead of last year. Even if you missed out on doing it during the pilgrimage 
season, you can still do it afterward. You may ask one of your friends who is 
going to the pilgrimage to buy a voucher on your behalf and do what is 
necessary. If you delay it further, you go to Makkah or ask someone who is 
going there to arrange the slaughter and the distribution of the meat of the 
sacrificed sheep to the poor of the Haram area. As for the tawaf of farewell, 
you have to slaughter a sheep in compensation for that. The same applies to 
this sacrifice as the other. 
   
  There is no question that your pilgrimage is valid. Pilgrimage is not 
invalidated except through sexual intercourse during Ihram. On the other hand, 
if one does not attend at Arafat on the 9th of Thul Hajjah, he is not a 
pilgrim. The other essential duty of pilgrimage is the tawaf of Ifadah. If one 
misses that and goes back home without doing it, he has to come back for it, 
even if he has gone to Alaska or to New Zealand which perhaps are the farthest 
points from Makkah. 
   
  As for missing other duties, or doing them wrongly, the slaughter of a sheep 
is adequate compensation. When it is done, the pilgrimage is considered 
complete.
