Bismillah [IslamCity] Somalia: Foregin Fighters in Somalia Are 'International Criminals', President Shekh Sharif Ahmed

Somalia: Foreign Fighters in Somalia Are 'International Criminals' - President
25 May 2009


 
The president of Somalia's interim government, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, told a 
Monday press conference in the capital Mogadishu that foreign fighters in the 
Horn of Africa country are 'international criminals,' Radio Garowe reports.
 
"Somalia has been invaded by foreign fighters, who are using Somali factions 
and their objective is to keep the country in chaos and to hide international 
criminals," President Sheikh Sharif told reporters at the Villa Somalia 
presidential compound.
 
He called on the Somali public to stand by the government in order "to defend 
the freedom, honor and nationhood of Somalia," adding: "I do not see any reason 
to continue fighting except to oppose peace."
 
The Somali leader said the interim government has adopted Islamic law 
[Shari'ah] as national legislation and has accepted a reconciliation process 
promoted by Muslim scholars and traditional elders, "but the opposition has 
rejected reconciliation."
 
He condemned the foreign fighters, suggesting that these foreign fighters have 
fought in countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq, "which are still burning."
Conflicting reports have placed the actual number of 'foreign fighters' present 
in Somalia from a handful to over 300 fighters.
 
"The [Somali] government has decided to defend the honor of the country and the 
people...we will fight those who oppose governance and those who promote 
chaos," President Sheikh Sharif said, in some of his most heated comments since 
being elected in January.
 
African peacekeepers
The Somali President said the ongoing violence in Mogadishu and parts of 
central Somalia is part of a "liberation war" against anti-peace elements.
He specifically addressed a recent decision by the Inter-Governmental Authority 
on Development (IGAD) to place sanctions on Eritrea, which is often accused 
arming Somali insurgents.
"It was the correct decision and the world must support it," said President 
Sheikh Sharif, who fled to Eritrea in 2007 after Ethiopian troops intervened in 
south-central Somalia to oust the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) movement, led by 
Sheikh Sharif at the time.
 
Speaking about the 4,000-strong African Union peacekeeping force (AMISOM), the 
President said: "AMISOM is here [in Mogadishu] legally and they will leave when 
they ensure the safety of the Somali people."
 
He noted that African peacekeepers are serving in Somalia "to help a fellow 
African country," while underscoring that AMISOM peacekeepers will defend the 
Somali government if attacked.
President Sheikh Sharif did not specifically name anti-government insurgent 
groups, namely Al Shabaab hardliners and Hizbul Islam faction, which is led by 
his former ally, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys.
 
Al Shabaab and Hizbul Islam factions have waged a violent campaign in Mogadishu 
and the central regions aiming to overthrow President Sheikh Sharif's interim 
government, which has support from ICU fighters and Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jamee'a 
militia.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Nigieria: Christian Terrorist burn to death Muslim Children in the Central Nigeria

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Christian burning Muslim children alive

Ethnic fires still smoulder in Nigeria  
By Rob Walker  
BBC World Service   


Aminu Mohamed, 14, is still suffering from nightmares, two months
after a Christian mob burnt down his school in the central Nigerian
city of Jos. 
 
The clashes between Christian and Muslims cost hundreds of lives 
“At night, I still feel they are coming back again, that someone will
come and kill me and I don’t think there’ll be peace," he said. 
The mob that arrived at Al-Bayan school at first threw stones into the 
compound, but then came the petrol bombs. 
Shuaibu Abubakar, one of the teachers, told the youngest students to stay 
inside their dormitory. 
“Before I realised it, the mob had opened the gates," he said. 
"We were surrounded, they shot one of the students in his stomach and I saw 
someone trying to shoot me with an arrow." 
  She told us to come out of the dormitory and we heard them saying they were 
going to cut us up 

Aminu Mohamed  By now, the mosque and the school library were on fire. 
However, the mob had not come to destroy the buildings, they had come for the 
children. 
“There was a woman, one of our neighbours leading the mob," said Aminu. 
"She told us to come out of the dormitory and we heard them saying they were 
going to cut us up,” he added. 
When the children refused to come out, the woman threw burning rags into the 
building. 
Aminu escaped through a window but his younger brother Omar,was
cut down by the mob as he ran from the dormitory, and his body was set
on fire. 
He was one of six students killed in the attack. 
Crossroads 
Across the city, hundreds were reportedly killed within the space of 48 hours. 
A similar round of sectarian violence back in 2001 cost up to 1,000 lives. 
 
Many buildings were burnt to the ground in the clashes 
Jos is at a crossroads between the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria and 
the mainly Christian south. 
The latest violence followed a disputed local election in which a Christian 
candidate defeated a Muslim. 
Most of the clashes have been between members of the
Hausa-Fulani community – the biggest ethnic group in northern Nigeria -
and local ethnic groups, that are mainly Christian. 
However, many feel that the conflict is not about religion but about who should 
be seen as the rightful owners of the city. 
Members of the Hausa-Fulani community say they are discriminated
against because the government of Plateau State sees them as
“settlers”. 
“I’m left hanging just like a stateless citizen,” said lawyer Awal Abduallahi. 
He feels that he was denied a job with the State Civil Service because he is 
not recognised as “indigenous” to Jos. 
“I was born here, my father was born here and my grandfather was born here - I 
don’t know any other place than Jos." 
Equal rights 
Many local governments in Nigeria operate policies that give
preferential rights to communities that are judged to be the original
inhabitants of an area.
  
 They want us evicted, so that the Hausa person will dominate here 

Nanreh Dauda 
In Jos, there are three ethnic groups - all predominantly Christian - which are 
recognised as indigenous. 
“Access to education and employment have come to depend on
whether one is an indigene or a settler, and therefore people who are
non-indigenes cannot have the same opportunities that indigenes have,”
said Ogoh Alubo, professor of sociology at the University of Jos. 
Tensions between indigenes and settlers occur across Nigeria
and as the population has grown, competition between them for land,
jobs and education has intensified. 
However in Jos, the friction between settlers and indigenes coincides with 
religious and ethnic divisions. 
Hausa-Fulani politicians say their community must now be given equal rights but 
some among the indigenous groups oppose that. 
 
Many feel that the conflict is not about religion but about who owns the city 
“The major tribes would take all for themselves, to the exclusion of
the minorities," said Davou Dung Nyam, a youth leader among the Berom
ethnic group. 
"Those from outside will take over land from those that are indigenous.” 
The control of local authorities is seen as crucial to
controlling which ethnic groups can be classified as indigenous - that
is the why last November’s election in Jos was so hotly contested. 
The problem is politicians on both sides are accused of stoking
up tensions, to mobilise support and maximise their chances of getting
elected. 
Preventing future clashes 
Two months on, tensions are still high and many of those chased from their 
homes do not feel safe to return. 
“They want us evicted, so that the Hausa person will dominate
here,” said Nanreh Dauda, a Christian whose house was first burnt in
2001, and then again in the latest riots. 
 

 As long as there is injustice in any sector of administration or government, 
you don’t expect peace

Somalia: The world's most utterly failed state

TIPPED off by friends in ports from Odessa to Mombasa, Somali pirates 
captured a Ukrainian freighter, the 
MV Faina,
in the Gulf of Aden and steered it to Somalia’s coast. At first they
demanded $20m for the release of ship and crew. The captain died,
apparently of “hypertension”, and several pirates may have then killed
each other after a quarrel. This recent incident was only the latest in
a long list of similar outrages and highlights the growing menace
caused by the total failure of the state of Somalia, the ultimate cause
of the virus of piracy in the region. 




The ship was carrying 33 T-72 Russian tanks, anti-aircraft guns and
grenade launchers. Lighter weapons may have been offloaded on the
Somali shore before an American warship arrived on the scene. Kenya
claimed ownership of the cargo but the manifest suggests its
destination was south Sudan, with Kenya’s co- operation in its delivery
to be rewarded in the future with cheap south Sudanese oil. At midweek,
a Russian warship was steaming to the scene to take responsibility for
its citizens on the ship.

The attack was only one of at least 60 off Somalia this year.
Foreign navies can intercept vessels captured by pirates, but the
desolation and length of Somalia’s coastline give them little chance of
stamping out piracy without much larger and better co-ordinated forces.
In cahoots with gangs in Yemen, Somali pirates look set to go on

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Posted: 8/17/2008 11:43:00 AM

Speaking to Shabelle radio the first deputy speaker of Somali parliament 
Mohamed Omar Dalha has stated that it unbearable on the civilians’ mass 
execution by the Ethiopian troops.
 
“We shouldn’t not tolerate what the Ethiopians did, we have to not let off them

Other MPs of the parliament has added that the Ethiopians are carrying out 
bloodbath in Somalia .

armored vehicles, destroying one, according to five eyewitnesses who are 
residents in the area.

central parts of the country. Violence between rebels and government troops has 
intensified since then.

Shebelle Media Network - Source of Somalia NewsEthiopians kill 100 amid peace 
talks
Sun, 17 Aug 2008 10:08:29 GMT





Ethiopian troops kill another 100 civilians in two days.US-led Ethiopian troops 
have killed another 12 Somali civilians north of Mogadishu, taking the death 
toll of the past two days to 100.

Meanwhile, the Somali parliament for the first time condemned the killing of 
large number of civilians by Ethiopian troops, Press TV correspondent reports.

The development comes only a day after UN-sponsored talks in Djibouti began. 
Delegations from Somalia's interim government and opposition groups met, hoping 
to renew the faltering peace deal struck in June.

The three-day meeting aims at finalizing details of a peace agreement worked 
out in June between the Somali government and the opposition Alliance for the 
Re-liberation of Somalia, ending the hostilities that have resulted in so many 
deaths in a civil war that has lasted 30 years.

A senior representative of the Hawiye clan, Mohammad Hassan Haad, confirmed the 
number of deaths for Press TV, saying that despite the peace talks in Djibouti, 
Ethiopian soldiers continue to kill innocent civilians and refugees sheltering 
in camps.

As a representative of the most powerful clan in Somalia, he called on the 
opposition Alliance to pull out of the talks in view of the recent deaths.

According to Hawiye clan authorities, the 100 bodies of those killed by 
Ethiopian troops in the past two days will be buried in a mass grave.

The recent deaths come only two days after Ethiopian troops opened fire on two 
civilian minibuses killing at least 46 passengers, most of them women.

Thousands of people have been killed and more than a million others displaced 
since the US-backed Ethiopian troops invaded the country to support the 
transitional government against local fighters, mostly the Islamic Courts 
Union, in 2006.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Rwanda: 'French troops involved in Rwanda's 800,000 people massarce',Justice Minister

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

France accused over Rwanda genocide


Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:59:29 GMT









French soldiers on patrol passing by ethnic Hutu 
troops in 1994


French
troops were directly involved in Rwanda's 1994 genocide in which
800,000 people were massacred, Rwanda's justice ministry says.

   

It named 33 senior French military and political figures including
late president Francois Mitterrand (president from 1981 to 1995), two
former prime ministers Dominique de Villepin and Edouard Balladur of
direct involvement in the massacres from April to July 1994 and said
they should be prosecuted.




Hutu militias slaughtered minority Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus.



The report threatened to further mar relations between the two countries, which 
severed diplomatic ties in November 2006.



France has refused to comment on the report and had previously
denied any involvement. France has acknowledged making "mistakes" in
Rwanda but denies any responsibility for the killing spree. 


The French foreign ministry told the BBC it would only respond to
the fresh allegations after reading the report, which was released on
Tuesday afternoon. 


Rwandan Justice Minister Tharcisse Karugarama, presenting the
500-page report in Kigali, said: "French forces directly assassinated
Tutsis and Hutus accused of hiding Tutsis... French forces committed
several rapes on Tutsi women." 


Karugarama said his country had no immediate plans to issue
indictments, but the report "could be the basis for potential charges
against individuals or the state."



He added that it took more than two years for a special commission assigned 
with probing France's involvement in the genocide.



The report further said that France was aware of the preparations
for the genocide, contributed to planning the massacres and actively
took part in the killing.



Elsewhere the statement said that considering the seriousness of
the alleged crimes, the Rwandan government has urged the relevant
authorities to bring the accused French politicians and military
officials to justice.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Iran: Arab League Secretary warns against attack on Islamic Republic of Iran

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

  2008/07/13









Moussa warns against attack on IRI




























 11:15:50 Þ.Ù

Arab
League Secretary-General Amr Moussa warned against consequences of any
kind of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

 In
response to a question by Euronews anchor in an exclusive interview
about possible air raid of America or the Zionist regime on Iran's
nuclear installations, Moussa said if it happened, the whole region
would turn into a real hell.

 "I had already predicted that
attak on Iraq would open doors of the hell and it came true and now I
tell you that if it happened for Iran, the whole region would turn into
a real hell," the Arab League Chief stated.

  mkIran may reveal more of its military might


Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:47:21









Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad


Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the country's recent missile tests
have provided 'a mere glimpse into Iran's military might'.



Following a Sunday cabinet session in Tehran, President Ahmadinejad
said the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) would demonstrate more
of Iran's military capabilities 'if necessary'.



The IRGC concluded an extensive military exercise on Sunday in response to 
recent threats from the US and Israel.



During the military exercise, Iran test-fired new long- and
medium-range missiles, including the upgraded Shahab 3 missile equipped
with a one-ton conventional warhead and capable of hitting targets
within a 2,000-kilometer range.


"The maneuvers demonstrated Iran's military strength and exposed
the enemy's inability in attacking our country," Ahmadinejad continued.



"In the future, they will see that our defense capabilities are
hundreds of times more than what was demonstrated in the recent
maneuver," he added.



The president's remarks came a day after a senior Iranian official
said that Tehran would respond by striking Israel and 32 US bases in
the region if the country comes under attack over its uranium
enrichment program.



Tehran insists its nuclear program is directed at electricity
generation in line with the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The
most recent UN nuclear watchdog report concluded that there is no link
between the use of nuclear material and the 'alleged studies' of
weaponization attributed to Iran by Western countries.



Washington and Tel Aviv, however, continue to beat the drums of war
against Iran over its nuclear program, accusing the country of
developing a nuclear bomb.


Tel Aviv reportedly staged a military maneuver in early June in
preparation for a unilateral air strike on Iranian nuclear sites and
Israeli attempts to prod Washington into a war with Tehran.



Ahmadinejad has dismissed the threat of war as a 'silly joke',
warning that a military strike on Iran would be 'political suicide' for
US President George W. Bush.



"I assure you that there won't be any war in the future," he said Tuesday 
during a visit to Malaysia.

Religious
leaders in Mogadishu have expressed their concern about the closure of
more than 30 mosques in the city and urged the residents to embark on
re-opening of the mosques.There are about 30
mosques that are closed in Mogadishu, some of them having been turned
into bases for Ethiopian troops, while in some others; the
neighborhoods have been deserted by residents due to the frequent
fighting in the areas they are located in.

Religious leaders have asked the Transitional
Federal Government of Somalia [TFG] to respect areas of worship and
educational institutions urging them [the government] to facilitate the
withdrawal of Ethiopian troops from the sites.The religious leaders have asked 
the civilians to take part in re-opening of the mosques.Sheikh
Mowlid Ahmad Nor who performs the call for prayer in the Jilu Sahaba
mosque in the neighborhood of Howl Wadag has called for the re-opening
of the mosques urging the TFG to remove Ethiopian troops from the
mosques where they have established bases.Ethiopian troops are said to have 
established themselves in some of the most famous mosques in Mogadishu.Deserted
mosques across the Somalia capital Mogadishu, which have been either
closed for turned into garbage dumps by Ethiopian troops.
  


  


Home to about 10 million largely impoverished
people, Somalia has lacked almost all the trappings of a functional
state, such as national systems of education, healthcare and justice,
for the past 16 years.Warlords had controlled
the capital of the Horn of Africa country since the 1991 overthrow of
President Mohamed Siad Barre but they have been expelled by the Islamic
courts union fighters.But the Somalis started
enjoying rare moments of peace and security since the Islamic Courts
rose to power by capturing Mogadishu and other key areas in June from
the US-backed warlords.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Somalia: Ethiopians butcher 2 Somali Federal Government Officers and USA's revenge

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

'Ethiopians butcher 2 Somali officers'


Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:57:37









Ethiopian soldiers in Somalia


Two
high-ranking Somali government officers have been slain by Ethiopian
soldiers having withheld cooperation with the troops, reports say.



A Press TV correspondent reported that the bodies of the two were
found near Manas military base which is close to the southwestern town
of Baidoa.


The two were reportedly done away with after they failed to cooperate with the 
Ethiopians.



35 of the government soldiers, meanwhile, managed to escape the
base, while hundreds of them remain under the Ethiopians' supervision
there.



The Ethiopian soldiers, who in alliance with Somali, Ugandan and
Kenyan troops try curbing the violence in the war-battered country have
been given hard time by Somali's spiraling insurgency.

Former Somali leader blames Ethiopian troops of “Massacre”
  Submitted by wararka on Wed, 06/25/2008 - 11:35.

   In
a news conference he held in Egyptian capital Cairo former Somali
president Abdi Qasim Salad Hassan has acknowledged that the Ethiopian
troops in Somalia have committed war crimes against Somali civilians.

“They made Somalis in the country those killed. Fled, and jailed “He said.
He added that they “Ethiopians” conducted supplementary killings for reprisal 
of 1977s Somalia-Ethiopia’s war as he put it.

He also accused the United States government of revenging Somali
people from their armed resistance they ousted US troops from country
1995.
“US supports Ethiopian troops in Somalia to get revenge Somalis from
SNA’s guerilla led by late General Mohamed Farah Aideed those driven
American troops out from Somalia on 1995 by force” Abdi Qasim said in
the news conference.
He also revealed that the Ethiopian troops killed in Somalia up to 2000 people 
and forced for displacement over 2m others.
“Excluding those were killed and displaced the rest are in severe 
undernourishment” he said.
He praised Egyptian government of coping with the influx of Somali
refugees including student were offered for at no cost schooling and
safe haven.
Abdi qasim was the president of the former TNG government has been
given the mandate for three years during the conference in Neighboring
Djibouti in which the government was supposed to restore the rule of
law back to Somalia and prepare a multiparty system for the election of
a government, but has failed to extend its influence throughout the
country.
His government controlled parts of the Somali capital, Mogadishu,
with the rest of the country being under the control of various
warlords.
The mandate of his former transitional national government expired
in August 2003 and Abdiqasim withdrew from the talks aimed at forming a
new government shortly before the mandate expired.
The Prime Minister of his government Hassan Abshir Farah accused him
of trying to make the talks fail to extend his time in office,
resulting in the prime minister's dismissal by Abdiq
However, Abdiqasim pledged to step aside to make way for a
constitutionally-elected leader. Abdiqasim was a candidate for the
presidency of the new national unity government, but he was not among
the 3 candidates who passed the 1st round of voting. He left office
peacefully several days after the election.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Somalia: Ethiopian Aggression - A Young Child's Throat Slit Infront of Child's Mother

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

 A young child's throat was slit by Ethiopian 
soldiers in front of the child's mother   
 
 
   Amnesty 
report
   



 Somalia's security nightmare

  

Somalia forces 'out of control' 

At least two Somalis were shot dead in protests on 
Monday in the capital.

 
Civilians are completely at the mercy of armed groups in Somalia, says human 
rights group Amnesty International. 
It says the situation is "dire" in the centre and the south with government 
troops, their Ethiopian allies and Islamist insurgents "out of control". 
They carry out killings, torture, rape, beatings, arbitrary detention and 
forced disappearances, a report says.  
The Ethiopian government has dismissed the report as a "total fabrication" and 
demanded an apology. 
"We have said repeatedly that our soldiers are the most disciplined soldiers in 
the world," said foreign ministry spokesman Wahide Belaye. 
"They have never cut anybody's  throat, never gang-raped any women, never 
deliberately shot  civilians in Somalia." 
In Mogadishu, hundreds of people have stormed through the Bakara market area, 
hurling stones at cars and shops and setting fire to tyres in protest at rising 
food prices and fake currency. 
Troops shot two people dead on Monday in similar protests.  
People who have visited the capital, Mogadishu, recently say parts of it are a 
ghost town, but Amnesty says residents fleeing the city are prey for armed 
bandits on the road who rape women and girls and steal whatever they have taken 
with them.

child's throat was slit by Ethiopian soldiers in front of the child's mother   
 
 
   Amnesty 
report
   



 Somalia's security nightmare

 
Even in refugee camps, Somalis face attack, Amnesty says. It says no-one is 
offering them any protection.  
The group says more than 6,000 civilians have been killed in Somalia in the 
past year.  
Many of the accounts blamed Ethiopian troops for some of the worst violations - 
which appeared to be revenge for insurgent attacks, Amnesty says. 
"Nothing justifies gang rape, slitting the throats of civilians or 
disproportionate attacks," Amnesty's Michelle Kagari told the BBC. 
In one case, "a young child's throat was slit by Ethiopian soldiers in front of 
the child's mother," the report says.  
But this was strongly denied by the Ethiopian government, which says "the 
cutting of throats of even enemies is not in the tradition of Ethiopian 
troops". 
'Eyes gouged out' 
In another incident, the report quotes Haboon, 56, saying Ethiopian troops 
raped a neighbour's 17-year-old daughter in 2007.  
When the girl's two brothers tried to help her, Ethiopian soldiers gouged out 
their eyes with a bayonet, she said.  
The Ethiopian and Somali governments say they are fighting al-Qaeda-backed 
militants.  
They frequently use road-side bombs to target troops from the two armies.  
Last week, Aden Hashi Ayro, a senior commander of the militant group al-Shabab, 
was killed in a US air-strike.  
Amnesty calls on the UN to condemn the violations in the strongest terms, 
strengthen its weapons embargo, increase its monitoring capacity, and set up a 
commission of inquiry. 
Riots 
At least two people were shot dead in the capital, Mogadishu, on Monday when 
troops opened fire to halt riots over rising costs and counterfeit money. 
Thousands of people rioted, burning tyres and throwing stones after traders 
refused to accept local notes and demanded US dollars instead. 
The recent printing of local shilling notes on illegal presses has led to 
spiralling inflation, reporters say.  
This and the increasing insecurity have seen food prices double.  
 

  
  
  
  
  
Unrest in Somalia
 
  Somalia has been without a central government for more than 17 years and 
for the past 17 months, the Ethiopian-backed interim government has been 
struggling to exert its control over the country. 
The United Nations reports that soaring food prices have already forc

Bismillah [IslamCity] Nigeria: OIC slams Anti Islam Film by the Dutch open enemy of Islam and Friend of Saudi

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Nigeria: Islamic Organisation Slams Anti-Islam Film


Leadership (Abuja)
  4 April 2008
Posted to the web 4 April 2008
  Abuja
  Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) group in New York has strongly 
condemned the "blasphemous" Dutch film and demanded legal action against its 
release.
  The demand for legal action against the Dutch government was made in a 
statement issued by Pakistan's U.N. Ambassador Munir Akram in his capacity as 
chairman of the OIC group.
GA_googleFillSlot("AllAfrica_Story_Inset");   

  The statement was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the 
UN in New York.
  "The film distorts the message of Islam by selective and out of text 
quotation as well as biased interpretation of the verses of the Holy Qu'ran," 
it said.
  The OIC group said the film violated various articles of the International 
Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the 
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that prohibit any advocacy 
of racial or religious hatred.
  "The film is an act of religious hatred and a racist and xenophobic attempt 
to advance a narrow political agenda and would merely serve to disturb peace, 
stability and social harmony within and among states," the statement noted.
  "For the Muslims around the world, it is an attempt to impede the enjoyment 
of the right to practice and manifest their religion without fear or coercion, 
particularly for those who live in non-Muslim countries," it added.
  The group urged all concerned parties to exert their efforts to 
prevent further dissemination of this "provocative film" as it would undermine 
the ongoing efforts to promote peaceful coexistence.
  "Despite this blatant provocation, Muslims have shown restraint and 
responsibility.
  "However, recurrence of similar offences could spark wider anger, a matter 
that underlines the need for a joint commitment to show sensitivity and respect 
for the religion and belief of others in accordance with international law," it 
stated.(NAN)

Bismillah [IslamCity] Palestine - The ignored Nation: A Message by Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei - Zionist must stop

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

A Message by:
 
  Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei 
Leader of the Islamic Revolution
   
  In the wake of the Saturday atrocious (terrible) attacks by the Zionist 
regime against the Gaza Strip in which dozens of innocent people, including 
children felt martyred.
   
  
Bismillah'e Rahman e Rahim

Great Islamic Umma Dear Iranian nation, 

The bloody events in Gaza are so gory (violent) and heartrending that it could 
not be conveyed through pen or tongue. The na?ve children or innocent women and 
men having already endured months of hermetic siege are now slain in their 
homes; before the eyes of their parents the blossoming children are perishing 
in the rancorous (ruthless) blaze of callous (heartless) usurpers, ditto 
parents before the eyes of their na?ve children whereas those who profess 
civilization and humanity have sat watching the colossal (massive) human 
tragedy with ultimate audacity (boldness), even some sit pleased with impudence.


  The world of Islam is by no means excused to remain tight-lipped towards the 
rare atrocity.

The Islamic Umma is expected to generate waves of wrath and the Islamic leaders 
must slap the wrath of their nations in the face of the Zionist regime.

The hands of the American government are soaked with the blood of the innocent 
Palestinian people. This is the support of the arrogant and rogue state which 
has emboldened the Zionists to commit the unforgivable crimes.

The Islamic nations and governments must make the voice of the innocent 
Palestinians heard throughout the world and let their reposing consciousness 
wake up. 

Has the American nation realized that their authorities have sacrificed all 
human sanctities for the sake of the Zionists? Have the European nations got 
aware how far their politicians have gone under the reign of the Zionist 
capitalists?


  It is not accidental that in simultaneity with those military ferocities, the 
most sacred Islamic sanctities are left at the mercy of profanity in some other 
corner of the arrogance-dominated areas of the world. There certain malicious 
(unbearable) pens backed by some devil policies are insulting the Mercy for the 
World People (a title for Hazrat Muhammad S.A.) to whom, the venerable, and to 
his Divine message the whole human being is indebted.

Yes. The holy Islam by its freeing message and anti-oppression note could 
resurrect (revive) dignity in the nations, setting off alarm in the midst of 
the domineering powers and triggering fire of rancor in their hearts against 
the Muslim nations depicted in their wayward moves.

The rogue dominance-seekers should mind that they are not able to put out the 
ever-lightening flame of Islamic awakening through savagery or violence. The 
epic resistance of the Palestinian nation and the stunning valiance (bravery) 
of their men and women, both young and old, in the face of the blood-thirsty 
Zionists provides evidence to that claim.

'The ultimate result of the conflict would be the triumph of the truth over the 
false as He said 'then We took vengeance (revenge) upon those who committed 
crimes; and it was ever a duty incumbent (present) upon Us to help the 
believers' (30:47).

I offer greetings to the Gaza people, to its innocent and persevering men and 
women, to its na?ve children and to the withered (shrunken) blossoms. I pray 
God to confer patience and deliverance on them and make them the victors.

Greetings to you and Mercy of God. 
Sayyed Ali Khamenei

Bismillah [IslamCity] India Accountable for Human Rights Violations in Kashmir, urges KCC to Commenwealth

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

News Release/ Communiqué de  presse
   
  KCC urges Commonwealth leaders to hold India  accountable  for human rights 
violations in  Kashmir   
  Toronto  – November 23, 2007:  On  the occasion of the Commonwealth Heads of 
Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Kampala,  Uganda (November 23-25), 
Kashmiri-Canadian Council (KCC) has urged leaders to  persuade India and 
Pakistan to allow the people of Kashmir the right of  self-determination and 
help to end their suffering and deprivation.  
   
  Mr.  Mushtaq A. Jeelani, Executive Director of the KCC in separate letters to 
53  Commonwealth leaders and the  Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, 
expressed his serious concern about  worsening  human rights situation in 
Indian-administered  Jammu and Kashmir.
   
  The  Executive Director reminded the leaders that the people of Kashmir 
continue to  be deprived of their inalienable right of self-determination, 
which is enshrined  in the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, 
and have remained  unimplemented for over half a century. The April 1948 
Security Council  resolution declared: “the only way to settle the Kashmir 
problem peacefully was  to demilitarise the state and hold a plebiscite under 
the UN  supervision.”
   
  He  underscored that the Kashmir issue has dominated the geopolitics of South 
Asia  for the past 60 years because of continuing rivalry between India and 
Pakistan -  both members of the Commonwealth. They have fought three wars since 
their  independence from Britain in 1947, two of them over the disputed region 
of  Kashmir. The dispute between the rivals is the root of competing in nuclear 
arms  race, which has resulted into the diversion of their resources from human 
 development to militarisation. Regrettably, it is the people of Kashmir who 
have  been caught in the middle of this deadly tug-of-war.
   
  Mr.  Jeelani underlined that India and Pakistan declared a ceasefire across 
the  Ceasefire Line - a.k.a. - Line of Control within the disputed state of 
Jammu and  Kashmir in November 2003, and later launched a peace process 
committed to  resolve the Kashmir issue, among other issues through 
negotiations. The overall  achievement of the peace process was the launch of 
the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus  service (in April 2005) and the opening of entry 
points along the Ceasefire  Line, which divides the disputed state into Indian 
and Pakistani administered  Kashmir, for civilian crossing. Unfortunately, to 
date there has been no  progress on the question of Kashmir.   
   
  The  Executive Director reminded the leaders that despite  the warming ties 
between the rivals there is no let-up in systematic human  rights abuses. The 
occupying troops continue to carry out arbitrary detention,  summary 
executions, custodial killings, extrajudicial executions, enforced  
disappearances, rape, sexual exploitation, torture and fake encounters. Since  
October 1989, the 700,000 strong Indian forces have killed more than 100,000  
Kashmiris to silence the people’s demand for freedom, justice and respect for  
human rights. He added that generations of Kashmiris have grown up under the  
shadow of the gun; not a single family is unaffected; property worth hundreds 
of  millions dollars has been destroyed and the suffering and devastation 
continues  unabated, which has sadly drawn no significant attention from the 
international  community, including the Commonwealth.
   
  Mr.  Jeelani cautioned the leaders that impunity has become a licence for the 
Indian  occupation forces to wreak havoc with the lives of Kashmiris. The 
deliberate and  unprovoked attacks and other patterns of abuse have all become 
too frequent to  report. No perpetrator has ever been prosecuted in a real 
manner, despite the  fact that such crimes have been extensively documented by 
many international  human rights organisations including Human Rights Watch and 
Amnesty  International. Very recently the New York-based Human Rights Watch has 
again  demanded an immediate end to impunity in Kashmir.
   
 He  reminded the leaders that 15 million people of Kashmir are yearning for 
peace,  justice and freedom. They want a just and dignified peace that 
guarantees total  freedom from foreign occupation and alien domination. Their 
struggle to achieve  that right of self-determination will not be extinguished 
until India and  Pakistan accept its exercise by the people of Jammu and  
Kashmir.
   
  The  Executive Director cautioned the leaders that the  perception that the 
Kashmir issue is a bilateral matter between India and  Pakistan is wrong. 
Kashmir is not a territorial or bilateral issue, it is about  the future of 15 
million people, and it does not constitute an un-demarcated  frontier between 
India and Pakistan which could be marked through bilateral  negotiations 
between New Delhi and Islamabad. The disputed state of Jammu and  Kashmir is 
inhabited by a people with their own history of independ

 CALCUTTA--On a busy street in Calcutta's business district, he runs a
 food stall called "Rajib's Paratha" and is known as Rajib Mallick.
 
 Using the popular Hindu name, no one suspects he is Rajab Ali
 Mollah, a Muslim who has adopted a fictitious identity to blend in
 with the neighbourhood'
 
 s mostly Hindu office workers.
 
 Sohrab Hossain, a Muslim student who came to the city to complete
 his Masters degree in English and lives in a Hindu-dominated housing
 complex, is known as Sourav Das among the students he tutors. To
 keep up his Hindu appearance he has a small idol of Saraswati, the
 Hindu goddess of learning, on his desk.
 
 Every morning as she prepares to go to work as a fishmonger, Hasina
 Khatoon takes off her silver armband embossed with "Allah" in
 Arabic, puts vermillion powder on her forehead and red-white conch
 bangles on her wrist -- symbols of a married Hindu woman -- to
 maintain a Hindu appearance in a fish market where almost all of her
 customers are Hindus.
 
 Rajab Mollah, Sohrab Hossain and Hasina Khatoon say they have
 adopted new identities in a Hindu-majority society where as Muslims
 they would face discrimination.
 
 Analysts say many Muslims from all socio-economic backgrounds are
 quietly hiding their religious affiliation.
 
 "Muslims in almost all spheres of life face a communal
 discrimination by powerful Hindus and they are denied many of their
 basic rights and freedom in an unjustified way," said Anjan Basu, a
 social analyst and executive editor of Pratidin, a Bengali daily in
 Calcutta.
 
 Six decades after Partition, "many (Hindus) believe that Pakistan
 was created for Muslims and now they do not have right to live in
 India, which is meant for Hindus."
 
 The Partition of India 60 years ago was a highly controversial
 arrangement, and remains a cause of much tension on the subcontinent
 today.
 
 Basu, who is a Hindu, also said discrimination has
 been "institutionalized, " with many Muslims being denied employment
 in government and private-sector offices where 90 to 95 per cent
 jobs are held by Hindus.
 
 Gautam Ray, a senior journalist with Calcutta's largest Bengali
 daily Anandabazar Patrika, said that since the bulk of the dalits
 (low-caste Hindus or so-called Untouchables) converted to Islam when
 the religion spread in India, many upper-caste Hindus look down on
 Muslims as they had for generations looked down on dalits.
 
 "The root of this communal discrimination is deeply entrenched in
 the society and most of these communal Hindus are not expected to
 change their feeling for Muslims any time soon," said Ray, who is
 also an upper-caste Hindu. "Muslims are often denied housing in
 Hindu-dominated modern residential complexes," he added.
 
 "This communal discrimination against Muslims will not end unless
 Hindus themselves change their attitude. But we do not see hope of
 any such positive social change anytime soon."
 
 Muslims who adopted fake Hindu identities believe they did nothing
 wrong by hiding their original identities.
 
 "Ten years ago, when my house and land in the village was eaten up
 by a river and I came to Calcutta in search of a job, almost all
 street shops and restaurants in the city refused to employ me
 because I was a Muslim," Mollah said.
 
 "Some said their Hindu customers could refuse to eat at their
 restaurants if a Muslim worked there," he said.
 
 "But I met a Muslim man who worked under a Hindu identity to supply
 water to restaurants. I followed his advice, picked up a Hindu
 identity and soon an upper-class Hindu employed me to run a food
 stall."
 
 Nearly all of Mollah's customers are Hindus and he fears his
 business would suffer disastrously if his customers found out he is
 a Muslim.
 
 "I don't think I have done anything wrong because I know how they
 hate Muslims simply because of their religion," he added.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] For Palestine and Al Quds: Al Quds "Silence is Crime to Humanity"

 Al Quds Day "Silence is crime to Humanity"

 Al-Quds day
  
 About a million message and e-mail have to be sent to newspaper and mass media 
around the world to highlight the occupation of Palestine. 
   
  “Why go to marches when they change nothing, why write letter when no body 
reads them? 
   
 I do because when Imam Mahdi comes I can say I tried to inform Muslim Ummah of 
the atrocities of the Zionist regime in Palestine. Remember the success is with 
Allah Subhana Watala – not with me or with you. But I discharge by 
responsibility and I stand every night in front of Allah and say Ya Allah today 
I thought about my oppressed brothers and sisters in Palestine. 
   
  The last Friday of Ramadan  is marked around the world as Yaum al Quds.
  
   
 Imam Khomeini began this tradition shortly after the Islamic Revolution in 
Iran, as an annual affirmation of the Ummah’s solidarity with Muslims of 
Palestine in their struggle for the liberation of al-Quds. Ramadan is the month 
of struggle (Jehad) and it was in Ramadan that Muslims fought their first 
battle, Badr, culminating in a resounding victory. It was also in Ramadan that 
Makkah was liberated from the clutches of idol worshipers (Mushrikeen) . It was 
therefore highly appropriate that Imam Khomeini should place the symbol of the 
struggle for liberation of Palestine and al Quds (Jerusalem). Imam Khomeini 
said “I invite Muslims all over the globe to consecrate the last Friday of the 
Holy month of Ramadan as “Quds Day” and to proclaim the international 
solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Muslims of 
Palestine” (Ramadan/ 1399 AH/Aug 1979). Imam Khomeini did not appeal to the 
Palestinians to rise up on the basis of Arab or Palestinian
 nationalism; nor did he call the regimes in the Muslim world to liberate 
al-Quds. Imam Khomeini located the struggle of Muslim masses in the very roots 
of Islam, in the month of Ramadan when Muslims worldwide fast together from 
sunrise to sunset. Ramadan is also significant as the month of the Quran. It 
was in this month that the first verses of Quran were revealed to the noble 
messenger of God (Allah) in the cave of Hira. Since Yaum al-Quds was first 
proclaimed, Muslims worldwide have observed this day, drawing attention to the 
sacrilege of Zionist and desecration of Islam’s third holiest Mosque, as well 
as their continued occupation of Palestine and their repression of the 
Palestinian people. For last twenty-seven years last Friday is marked around 
the world as Yam al-Quds with processions and speeches reminding Muslim Ummah 
(communities) about the plight of Masjid al-Aqsa and the land of Palestine. 
Wake up oh! Muslim Ummah. We as Muslims cannot afford to be unaware of
 the continuing threat to the city of al-Quds and the Mosque itself. The major 
strategy of Christian Zionist and Zionist State against the Mosque has been to 
undermine it by opening tunnels running below it in the name of archaeology and 
science. Opening tunnels is having the effect of weakening the structure of the 
Mosque. There is now serious concern about the Mosque’s structural integrity. 
The tunnels could be used to plant bombs which could destroy the Mosque, and 
which the Zionist state could blame on individual zealot. 
   
 Al-Quds (Jerusalem) lies at the heart of Islam and Islamic movement. Mosque of 
Al-Aqsa was the first direction of prayers (Qibla) before changed to Mecca 
during the first year of the Hijra (migration). It is also significant because 
it was from Masjid al-Aqsa that the Prophet went on to heaven (Mi’raj). Hence, 
by observing the day of al-Quds, Muslims not only begin to fulfill a political 
obligation, they also acknowledge a religious obligation. The protection of 
Islam’s third holiest place is a duty that is incumbent upon Muslims. As long 
as al-Quds remain occupied, his duty remains unfulfilled, and mobilizing the 
Muslim Ummah towards this objective becomes a religious obligation. However, 
Ben Gurion once referred to the Arab states as “Israel’s first line of 
defense”. The implication is clear; the Arab states are not enemies of Zionist 
state, they will not fight for the sake of Lebanon, nor Gaza or west Bank not 
even for the sake of al-Quds. They will not use oil and
 their foreign exchange as weapon. They won’t allow people to demonstrate in 
the streets or during Haj. They want even allow resistance group in Palestine 
to arm or provide funds. To reach Palestine we must first reclaim the holy land 
surrounding Palestine. The Arab States, Israel’s first line of defense, must be 
claimed before Al Quds could be liberated.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] An Extract from The Will of Ayatullah Syed Shahabuddin al-Mar'ashi

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Please read it feel it and forward to your dear ones. Iltemase Dua 

 Subject:[Yearn For Allah] An extract from the will of Ayatullah Syed 
Shahabuddin al-Mar'ashi 


 Five (5) minutes of your time and I promise they'll be worth! 
  
 In September 1990 in Qum I was privileged to attend the funeral of Ayatullah 
Syed Shahabuddin al-Mar'ashi. His death plunged the whole Shia world into 
grief. Ulema followed the coffin with tears streaming down their faces. In 
every street of Qum the sounds of mourning could be heard. Although the
 Ayatullah's house was very near the Haram of Janabe Masuma Qum (A.S.), it 
still took one and a half hours for the bier to reach the courtyard of the
 Haram for the recitation of Namaze Mayyit.
 

 Thereafter the body of the Ayatullah was transported across the shoulders of 
the 1.5 millions gathered there, and was finally laid to rest with great
 dignity near his famous library.
 

 In the Syrian trimonthly magazine al- Mawsim, the Ayatullah's will has been 
published. A translation of extracts which were addressed to his son Mahmood
 al-Mar'ashi has been reproduced below. Without doubt these words are not only 
those of a father for his son but serve for us as a reminder as well.
 

 Allah ( S.W.T.) says "Inna zikra tanfaul mu'mineen"; Verily reminders are 
valuable for the believers.
  
 I advise my son

 
   

 
 
1. Always remain ready to serve the religion of Islam and strive in the defence 
of Truth. Today the religion of Islam is crying, "Hal min Nasirin Yansuruni, 
hal min Zaabbin Yazubbu 'Anni?"; "Is there a helper who will come to my aid, is 
there a saviour who will come to my rescue?"

O my son, in this age there are very few who answer this plea from Islam, and 
may Allah reward the few that there are.
 

2. Always ponder deeply over the verses of the Holy Qur'an and follow the 
advice and instructions contained therein. Visit the graves frequently
 
and think, "where were these people yesterday, what were the, how were they and 
where have they come today
 
   Do not sit and indulge in vain and useless gatherings. There are few 
gatherings today where gossip, slander and lies are not present,
 
rather they do not exist. Refrain from excessive attachment to this world.
 


 
3. Maintain good relations with your close relatives because by this act you 
will gain inspiration to do good and earn blessings and an increase in your 
means and life-span.
 


 
  4. Always refrain from backbiting of the servants of Allah, and 
especially remain aloof from gossip about the Ulamae Deen , because that is
 
like eating poisoned dead meat.
 


 
  5. Remain engrossed in the learning of religious knowledge. Continue to 
progress in it everyday and remain busy in spreading it all the time.
 


 
 6. O my son, make a habit of reciting everyday after Namaze Subh, Surae 
Yasin once. After Namaze Zuhr , recite Surae Naba , after Namaze Asr
 
recite Surae Asr, after Namaze Maghrib Surae Waaqia and after Namaze Isha 
recite Surae Mulk. In this practice there are amazing gains. My teachers
 
advised me to this and I have seen its blessing more than once.

 


   
  7. In the Qunoot of Wajib Namaz always recite this du'a Allahuma Inni 
Asaluka bi Hakki Fatimata wa Abiha wa Ba'liha wa Baniha wa Sirril Mustawdai 
Fiha an Tusaaali ala Muhammadin wa aali Muhammad. Wa an Taf'al bi Ma Anta Ahlu 
wa la Taf'al bu Ma Ana Ahlul." This du'a was taught to me both by my father as 
well as my teacher Jamalus Salikeen ShaykhMuhammad Husein Shirazi. He has 
narrated this authentic hadith from Sayyid Murtadha Kashmiri Rizvi by Ibne 
Tawoos from The Holy Imams (A.S.)
 


  
  8. O my son, in the Rukuu, especially of the last rakaat, after Zikr 
recite salawaat in this way: "Allahumma Sali Ala Muhammadin wa aali Muhammad wa 
Taraham ala Aajizna wa Aghisna Bihakkihim".

 
  

  
9. Always recite the Tasbih of our wronged grandmother Fatima Zahra (A.S.). 
That Tasbih is not only for recitation after Namaz, but it should be recited 
all the time.

 
 

  
10. O son, there is a memorable speech by Sayyidae Tahira, Bibi Fatima ( A.S.) 
which she gave in Masjide Nabawi in front of the Ummah. Even the Ulema and 
proficient linguists have failed to understand it fully. Think deeply about her 
words and try to understand them. 
 


 
11. Study the famous sermon of Amirul Mu'mineen
 
Sayyidul Mazlumeen ( A.S.) called Shikshikiyyah.
 


 
12. I stress to you to never abandon the Namaze
 
Shab. Do Istighfaar in the early mornings.

 


 
13. Be gentle and merciful to the poor and needy,
and especially take care of the Sadaat and students of Islam. 
 
 

 
14. Avail yourself of the blessings of the Ziyarat
 
of the Holy Ahlul Bayt ( A.S.). Reach the places where they are buried and 
after reciting salutations, repent and ask du'a - in these actions there is 
untold benefits.
 
 
15. O my son, regard your life time as precious and
 
do not wa

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] 'Female Circumcision (FGM) Not Linked to Islam'

Kenya: 'Female Circumsion Not Linked to Islam'

 
East African Standard (Nairobi)
 8 September 2007
Posted to the web  7 September 2007
Wandera Ojanji And Redemtor Atieno
Nairobi
As she grew up in a Islamic society, Khadija knew what she had to go through to 
become a respectable woman. Listening to her mother, a strong Muslim adherent, 
Khadija came to believe that female circumcision, just like male circumcision, 
was an Islamic practice.
Eager to have their daughter live by 'Islamic tradition and become 
respectable', Khadija's parents took her for circumcision or, as it is commonly 
known, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
   GA_googleFillSlot("AllAfrica_Story_Inset"); 

 Ms Isnino Shuriye , an ex-circumciser breaks down as she narrates how she 
used to perform female circumcision in Garissa.
But Khadija is not the only girl who has been forced to undergo FGM merely 
because it is a tradition they must abide by. FGM is a practice that has 
refused to die despite concerted efforts to end it. While it is considered a 
cultural practice among non-Muslim communities that practice it, FGM has been 
perpetuated within the Islamic community as a religious ritual.
But Muslim scholars and clerics are now coming out strongly to dismiss the 
widely held belief that Islam supports FGM. The general consensus among Muslim 
religious leaders is that FGM is not an Islamic practice but a tradition or 
culture of the various communities that practice it.
Speaking recently at an FGM workshop organised in Nairobi by Children's Legal 
Action Network (Clan) under the theme 'FG M: a religious or cultural practice?' 
the scholars and clerics argued that, for any practice to be considered 
Islamic, it must be backed by the Quran, the traditions of Prophet Mohammed, 
scholarly consensus and analogy, none of which backs FGM.
"Without the support of Quran, the traditions of Prophet Mohammed, scholarly 
consensus and analogy, that are the basis for engagement under Islam, someone 
cannot stand up and claim that FGM is based on Islamic faith," states Ibrahim 
Lethome, an Islam scholar and lawyer.
He adds, "We have read the whole Quran and not seen a clause supporting FGM. 
The Quran outlaws the harming of someone and the practice should be delinked 
from religion as Islam says anything harmful should be discarded."
Misinterpretation
Lethome states that most arguments that portray FGM as an Islamic practice are 
based on misinterpretation of the Quran, or an outright distortion of the facts 
to suit their arguments for FGM.
Much of the distortion, according to Lethome, stems from the fact that in the 
original scripts or Arabic, some words refer to male and female and, taken 
literally, may mean that the action in point applies to both men and women. 
Indeed, circumcision appears to be referring to men and women. A point many 
have misinterpreted to mean that even women should be circumcised.
Justifying why it is wrong to argue along those lines, Lithome notes another 
similar reference to both male and female. Without singling out men only or 
giving provisions for excluding women, people are supposed to shave their pubic 
hairs, hairs under the armpit and trim their moustache. "Taken literally, women 
are supposed to shave moustaches. But do women grow moustache?" argues Lithome.
The other argument for FGM is that Prophet Mohammed never outrightly condemned 
FGM, even when he encountered a woman who claimed he was going to conduct it. 
Sheikh Ali Sheikh notes that Muslims for a long time did not take a stand 
against FGM, a fact that compromised the teaching of Islam.
Lethome says there is no consensus among Muslim scholars on FGM because Prophet 
Mohammed never condemned it outright.
However, if one was to go by the traditions of Mohammed then he did not approve 
of it. "His four daughters were never circumcised. But his two grandsons were 
circumcised when they were seven days," argues Lethome. "If the prophet did not 
have his daughters circumcised, are we holier than him to demand that our 
daughters are circumcised?" asks Lethome.
Purely cultural practice

  Sheikh Abdi Nasir Haj Hassan, an Islamic scholar, further observed that 
Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, 
Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Indonesia, Malaysia and most of the Muslim 
communities in Kenya do not practice female circumcision.
Dr Guyo Jaldessa, a gynaecologist, states that FGM is more of a cultural than a 
religious practice and must be completely delinked from Islam. According to 
Sheikh Ali Shee, a prominent Islamic scholar, Islam outlaws circumcision of 
women. "It is a traditional practice that has nothing to do with any religion. 
Circumcision involves changing the way humanity was created while the Quran 
does not advocate for that."
He states that Muslim leaders need to fight traditions that are against natural 
law and human rights sinc

Uganda: Women Petition Court to Outlaw FGM

Female Genital Mutilation is practiced by both Christians and Muslims in Africa.

Kampala
Women's rights activists in Uganda have petitioned the Constitutional Court 
demanding that female genital mutilation (FGM), practised by several 
communities in the east of the country, be declared illegal.
"We are seeking a court declaration that the practice is unconstitutional; it 
is cruel, inhuman and degrading," said Dora Byamukama, a member of the East 
Africa Legislative Assembly and one of the campaigners against FGM in Uganda.
  "; document.write (str);  //--> 
  The activists, who have formed a group known as Law and Advocacy for 
Women in Uganda, earlier in April succeeded in having the Constitutional Court 
abrogate the country's law on adultery on the grounds that it made marital 
infidelity an offence only when committed by women while seemingly condoning it 
when men were involved.
Gertrude Kulany, a former member of parliament, said FGM was practised in 
Kapchorwa, Bukwo, Bugiri, Nakapiripirit and Moroto districts.
"I am one of the few who were lucky and escaped the practice, but most of my 
contemporaries went through it because whichever girl in the village attains 
puberty is initiated into womanhood through circumcision," said Kulany. "Those 
who refuse are tormented as their in-laws despise them because they are not 
circumcised."
A lawyer for the women, Ladislaus Rwakafuzi, said FGM denied its victims human 
dignity, which is guaranteed under the country's constitution.
Beatrice Chelengat, programme manager of an FGM awareness campaign sponsored by 
the United Nations Population Fund in the eastern Kapchorwa district, said 647 
women aged between 11 and 31 were subjected to FGM in 2002 out of an estimated 
13,000 females in that age group. The figures for 2004 and 2006 were 595 and 
426 respectively, she said, adding that anti-FGM campaigns in the area were 
bearing fruit.
FGM involves the cutting and/or removal of the clitoris and other vaginal 
tissue, often under unsanitary conditions. It is practised in at least 28 
countries globally. The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) estimates that up to 140 
million girls and women around the world have undergone some form of FGM.

  It is practised extensively in Africa, and also in parts of the Middle 
East and among immigrant communities around the world. According to medical 
experts, it causes physical and psychological complications, as well as 
heightening the risk of HIV/AIDS when unsterilised instruments are used.
At least 16 African countries have banned the practice, and the Maputo 
Protocol, an African regional document that prohibits and condemns FGM, came 
into force in November 2005.

   Mogadishu 23, April.07( Sh.M.Network) Fighting   
 between Ethiopian troops along with government forces and Islamic  
  insurgents backed by clan militias continues in the Somali 
capitalMogadishu for the fifth straight day. Ethiopian military 
forceshave been firing rockets from the presidential palace, 
and formerarmy compound in south of the capital targeting 
neighborhoods innorth of Mogadishu, insurgent strongholds.
 Atleast five civilians were killed and more than 
10 were wounded inShibis and Suq Ba’ad neighborhoods in north 
of the capitalearly Monday morning. According to witnesses, the 
victims were fleeingthe areas when they were hit by stray 
bullets.
 SomaliaDeputy Defense Minister, Salad Alai Jelle, 
told local journalistson Sunday that the Somali transitional 
government was determinedto pacify the gun-infested capital, 
calling on civilians remainingin areas where the battle rages 
to leave their homes.
 Thefighting continues despite the government’s 
lack of effortsto assist thousands of families who are 
lingering under the treesof southern provinces of the country 
and on the outskirts of thecapital after they fled the war 
going on in hot-blooded city.

   Shelling traps Somalis in capital 


  The fighting has 
raged for six days 

  Heavy shelling is taking place as Ethiopian-backed government 
forces battle insurgents in Somalia's capital.  Ethiopian tanks have been 
pursuing Islamists and local militias into their stronghold in the north of 
Mogadishu. 
 The United Nations refugee agency says many residents are trapped in the 
fighting as roads leading out of Mogadishu have been blocked. 
 Some 250 people have been killed during the last six days of fighting and 
thousands are fleeing the capital.  
 Somalia's deputy defence minister Salad Ali Jelle has asked people living near 
insurgent strongholds to move out before a planned attack on the rebels. 
 Ethiopian forces have been in Mogadishu since December last year after helping 
Somalia's transitional government oust the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC). 
 The insurgents are believed to be a mixture of Islamists and militiamen from 
the Hawiye clan - the largest in Mogadishu.  
 Fleeing 
 Many bodies are lying around Mogadishu and hundreds of people are fleeing 
towards the Kenyan border, says the BBC Swahili reporter Khadra Mohammed said. 
 Some have serious injuries and need urgent medical attention, she says. 
 Only people with money are able to move out of the capital on public transport 
vans, most of the dead are poor people, our correspondent says. 
 UNHCR spokesperson Catherine Weibel has told the BBC they are now providing 
relief supplies to about 20,000 displaced people out of the more than 300,000 
who have fled the violence. 
 Eritrea which is accused of supporting insurgents opposed to the Somalia's 
transitional government has suspended its membership from the 
Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (Igad), the East African regional 
body that brokered the Somali peace process. 
 The withdrawal from the seven-member Igad group was the latest sign of 
deteriorating relations between Asmara and regional countries over Somalia. 
 "It's a temporary withdrawal. We feel that it's not responsible to stay in 
that organisation when decisions are being made that are not legally or morally 
acceptable," Information Minister Ali Abdu told Reuters News Agency. 
 An Eritrean representative at the recent Igad meeting held in Kenya's capital, 
Nairobi, clashed with his Ethiopian counterpart over their presence in Somalia.

  A gunman has gone on 
the rampage at the campus of Virginia Tech university in Virginia, US, killing 
at least 31 people and injuring another 10.  Police say there were two separate 
shooting incidents - at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a student dormitory, and 
Norris Hall, an engineering building. 
 Police say they believe there was one gunman and that he is dead. 
 After the deadliest shooting at a US school, President George W Bush said the 
US was "shocked and saddened".  
 "Schools should be places of safety and sanctuary and learning. When that 
sanctuary is violated, the impact is felt in every American classroom and every 
American community," he added. 
 The state university in the town of Blacksburg is home to 26,000 students.

LONGUEUIL, Que. (CP) - A taekwondo team of Muslim girls withdrew from a 
tournament on Sunday after they were barred from taking part with their hijabs, 
threatening to re-ignite Quebec's contentious debate about accommodating 
religious minorities. 
  "I feel very sad because we practised so hard," said 11-year-old Bissan 
Mansour, who wears a hijab. "We pulled out for a useless reason." 
  Referees at the Quebec regional Raymond Mourad Championship met Sunday 
morning, the first day of the tournament, to talk about rules and regulations. 
  During the discussion, it was brought up that a team from a Muslim community 
centre in Montreal would be competing with their hijabs. 
  "The equipment that is allowed under the World Taekwondo Federation rules 
doesn't include the hijab," said international referee Stephane Menard, who 
took part in the meeting. 
   "We applied the rules to the letter."   
  The team, made up of girls between eight and 12 years old, went home 
following the decision. A boys team from the same community centre also 
withdrew upon hearing the news. 
  Tournament founder Raymond Mourad said he wanted officials to let the Muslim 
girls compete this time, but his pleas went unheard. 
  "The kids who came today, we could have let them compete and warned them for 
next time," Mourad said. "I tried my hardest to do that, but the referee didn't 
want to hear it." 
  Officials said the decision was taken for security reasons. Taekwondo is a 
martial art that involves mainly kicking and throwing, and the fear is that 
part of the hijab could come loose during a bout. 
   The sport's international rules stipulate that players must not wear 
anything under their protective helmets.  
  Jean Faucher, president of the provincial taekwando federation, ultimately 
made the decision to apply the rules concerning hijabs. 
   "I am not a racist or anything," Faucher said. "It's a rule and I'm a guy 
for the rules."  
  But May Haydar of the Montreal Muslim Community Centre said the team had 
participated in the tournament in recent years without any controversy over the 
wearing of hijabs. 
   "We believe it's unfair and it's discriminatory against Muslims," Haydar 
said.  
  "The girls, they're very disappointed... Some of them, of course, don't 
understand why this happened because they participated before." 
   A coach for the boys team said the girls always practise with their hijabs 
and there has never been an incident.  
   Concerns about accommodations to minorities have been simmering in Quebec 
for the past several months, and Sunday's controversy fuelled fears the debate 
is simply alienating Quebec's cultural communities. 
The Canadian Council of American-Islamic Relations said the decision won't 
encourage Muslim women to participate in sports.  
  "This recent fixation on the hijab is only serving to marginalize Muslim 
women who wish to participate in athletic activity," the Ottawa-based 
organization said. 
  The "reasonable accommodation" debate has become so intense that Premier Jean 
Charest has struck a committee to study the issue. 
   It's the second time in recent months the hijab has caused controversy at an 
amateur sporting event in Quebec involving pre-teens. 
  In February, an 11-year-old Muslim girl from Ottawa was asked to remove her 
hijab at a soccer tournament in Laval, north of Montreal, due to safety 
concerns. She refused and her team pulled out of the tournament. 
  During last month's provincial election, Quebec's chief returning officer 
received threats and was forced to overturn a ruling that allowed woman to vote 
while wearing a niqab, a more extensive face covering than the hijab. 
The long-line of racially charged incidents also include:   
-A Montreal Muslim woman who recently complained she was forced to chose 
between her hijab and a job as a prison guard.  
-Herouxville, a small town in rural Quebec that set up a code of conduct 
for would-be immigrants.  
  -A Montreal community health centre under fire for holding women-only 
pre-natal classes to make Muslim, Sikh or Hindu women feel more comfortable.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] North Africa is Arab and Shi'ite... Arabs love Ali and they are Shi'a, says Ghaddafi

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

   In Overture to Iran, Gaddafi Declares North Africa Shi'ite and Calls for 
Establishment of New Fatimid State

"But emotionally, we the Arabs, and all of the Muslims, are attached to
'Ali (the cousin of Prophet Muhammed s.a.w. and first Imam of Shi'a Ithna 
Asheri). This means that all of the Arabs are Shi'ites. If a Shi'ite is
one who is attached to 'Ali, then all of the Arabs are Shi'ites. Where is 
the Arab who is against 'Ali? There
aren't any.

On March 31, 2007, Libyan leader Mu'ammar Qaddafi called, in a  speech
in Niger to Tuareg tribal leaders , for the establishment of a second
Shi'ite Fatimid state in North Africa, after the model of the 10th-13th 
century empire that ruled North Africa, Egypt, and parts of the Fertile
  
 Crescent. In his speech, Qaddafi denounced the division of Muslims into
Sunni and Shi'ite as a colonialist plot, and rebuked the Arab League
members for "hating Iran."
  
 At the beginning of the month, on March 1, 2007 â€" the eve of the
anniversary of the coup that brought the Libyan Free Officers to power â€"
Qaddafi gave a speech in which he denied the existence of a non-Arab 
Berber people (this also being a colonialist plot), provoking protest
among Berbers and supporters of minority rights in the Middle East and
North Africa.
  
 The following are excerpts from Qaddafi's speeches:
  
 "Colonialism. .. Has Begun to  Group the Arabs Against Iran and Iran
Against the Arabs"
  
 "... Today there is a divide [in the Islamic world] that we must
acknowledge, and we must know who is deepening it. Perhaps it is
colonialism,
the enemy of Islam, the enemy of the Arabs, the enemy of the Persians, 
that is deepening it...
  
 "They have divided Islam into two Islams, and there came to be Shi'ite
Islam and Sunni Islam. This is a forbidden innovation [bid'a]... When
did Muhammad say: 'I have brought you Shi'ite Islam and Sunni Islam?... 
  
 "As a consequence of this, they have now begun to group the Arabs
against Iran and Iran against the Arabs, and then Shi'ites against Sunnis
and Sunnis against Shi'ites.
  
 "Are we Muslims, or are we Shi'ites and Sunnis?! For whose benefit is
this? It is for the benefit of the 'other' that we are speaking about,
for the benefit of  the enemy, for the benefit of colonialism. 
  
 "The period of fragmentation that I talked about, and the
disintegration of the Abbasid Empire and its old age, is similar to the old
age of
the Arab and Islamic regimes we have today. At the beginning of the 10th 
century, the situation was like this...
  
 "The Fatimid state arose in the beginning of the 10th century, and it
formed an umbrella over North Africa, and under its banner all of the
tribal, denominational, political, and ethnic differences fused, and they 
all became one single Fatimid identity, which lasted 260 years and
extended as far as the Arab East.
  
 "After Mahdiya, Cairo was the capital of the Fatimid state, and it
inherited the disintegrated Abbasid state, which had become weak at that
point in time...
  
 "The Fatimid state came as a new, youthful power. Its name and  origin
are from Fatima Al-Zahra [Fatima 'the Radiant'], and it produced
Al-Azhar.(1) One of the historic citadels of the Fatimid state was Al-Azhar, 
  
 and the name of Al-Azhar, in Egypt, is in reference to Fatima Al-Zahra,
the
daughter of the Prophet. The Fatimid state's name and origin were
[also] from Fatima Al-Zahra...
  
 "This grand Fatimid state generously allowed the existence of the
mini-states in its interior... They all became Fatimids, and there was
stability.
  
 "Now people say to us that the Shi'ites are in Iran and that Shi'ite
means Persians, and Sunni means Arabs. This is a lie. This is deceit.
Those who say this are ignoramuses who do not know history. 
  
 "To the contrary, the first Shi'ite state arose in North Africa. The
Fatimid state was the
first Shi'ite state..."
  
 
"North Africa is  Arab and Shi'ite"
  
 "In North Africa... go anywhere and ask them about their customs and
traditions. They are all Shi'ite customs and traditions.
  
 "[They include] the celebration of the 'Ashura, the sorrow on the
'Ashura and the remembrance of the 'Ashura and our lord [sayyidna] 'Ali; the
  
 very extensive stories about our lord 'Ali, and being the party of
[tashayyu' l-] our lord 'Ali.
  
 "[The North Africans] do not know
Mu'awiya ['Ali's rival and the
founder of the Umayyad dynasty]. From Egypt to the Atlantic Ocean, there is
not a single person named Mu'awiya. They are all named 'Ali, Fatima, 
Khadija, Hassan, Hussein, etc.
  
 "Since the [trend] today is religion, and [discussion of] who has the
right to the Imamate, and what is the Imamate, and so forth â€" who has
more right to the Imamate than the Prophet's  family [ahl al-bayt]? The 
Prophet's family has more right than all of the rulers around today who
are not from the Prophet's family.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Gambia: Thousand attend successful Sheikh Oumar Taal's Ziyaara

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Islam in Africa was initially spread by the Sufi movement namely Qaderia. This 
was to celebrate Clerics and Saints on yearly basis remebering their sacrifices 
towards the Ummah and their services. Recently some group who have studied from 
the Gulf Countries, started opposing this by claiming it is Bid'a or Haram, at 
the stream also Muslims who believe in this have been declared as Kafirs, but 
their efforts is failing. 


Throughout Sub Saharan Africa, East Africa and West Africa "Ziayaara" - 
celebration of Imams, Clerics, Saints is alive. Still African Muslims have full 
appreciation to those Imams, Clerics, Saints who sacrificed their life for the 
Ummah and Islam. (Labbayk Ya Mahdi)



Gambia: Sheikh Oumar Taal's 'Ziyara ' Successful


 The Daily Observer  (Banjul)
 March  6, 2007
Posted to the web March  6, 2007
Alhagie Jobe

Thousands of Muslims in The Gambia and sub-region , on Sunday, March 4, 
converged in Gunjur village, Kombo South, for the annual ( Ziyarah) reverence 
of the late El-Hadj Sheikh Oumar Futiyu Taal
. A Muslim Spiritual Leader of the Tijaniyya brotherhood sect of Isalm, El-Hadj 
Sheikh Oumar Futiyu Taal who belongs to the 18th century discovered the area 
where the event was held which is situated near the coast of the village as a 
holy place.


  Speaking at the ceremony, Baba Liegh, Imam of Kanifing East Mosque, who 
doubles as the Khaliph (leader) and Coordinator of the Organising Committee, 
informed the religious gathering that the late Sheikh discovered the area in 
Gunjur as a holy place resulting to a lot of people of diverse origin using it 
as a place for prayers to the Almighty. "People from Burkina Faso, Chad and 
many other countries across the sub-region do pay respect to the place,The late 
Muslim Spiritual Leader was a believer and an influencial member of the 
Tijanniyya Khaliphate in the 18th century in Futa Halwal, Guinea Conakry".
He then reminded Muslims to acknowledge the importance attached to the place 
noting that the Ziyara will offer prayers for the Senegambian region and the 
entire Muslim Umma (world). "The reason for all these is to continue on the 
tradition left behind by El-Hadj Sheikh Oumar Futiyu Taal. We will pray for 
unity, peace and prosperity among Gambians", he added.
Several other muslim leaders spoke at the ground and brief the gathering of the 
importance of the day. They also informed the muslims of the excellent work the 
late El Hadj Sheikh Oumar Futi Taal has done for Islam.
The occasion was witnessed by thousands of Muslims from all corners of Africa 
who are true believers of the late scholar El Hadj Oumar Taal.The ceremony was 
characterised by the recitation of the Holy Quran in the day and meditation on 
the 99 names of Allah continued the whole day through the night.
Sheikh Amad al-Tijan (1737-1815), who was born in Algeria and died in Fez, 
Morocco, founded the Tijan ordered around 1781 (see Triaud, 2000).
The Tijaniyya Brotherhood
Sheikh Amad al-Tijan found the Tijaniyya Brotherhood around 1781. He was born 
in Algeria in 1737 and died in 1815 in Fez, Morocco. Tijan Islam, an "Islam for 
the poor," reacted against the conservative, hierarchical Qadiriyyah 
brotherhood then dominant, focusing on social reform and grass-roots Islamic 
revival.
Expansion in West Africa

  Although other Sufi orders remain far more numerically important in the 
Tijaniyya's birth place of North Africa, the order has become the largest Sufi 
order in West Africa and continues to expand rapidly. It was brought to 
southern Mauritania around 1789 by Muhammad Al-fi of the 'Idaw 'Ali tribe, 
which was known for its many Islamic scholars and leaders. It was predominantly 
Qadir at the time. Nearly the entire tribe became Tijaniyya during Muhammad 
Al-fi's lifetime, and the tribe's influence would facilitate the Tijaniyya's 
rapid expansion to sub-Saharan Africa.
Muhammad Al-fi's disciple Mawlad Vl initiated the 19th-century Toucouleur 
leader El-Hadj Oumar Taal and the Fulbe cleric 'Abd al-Karim an-Naqil from 
Fuuta Jalon (present Guinea) into the order.
After receiving instruction from Muhammad al-Ghl from 1828 to 1830 in Mecca, 
Oumar Taal was appointed Khalifa (successor or head representative) of Amed 
at-Tijan for all of the Western Sudan (Western sub-Saharan Africa). Oumar Taal 
then led a holy war against what he saw as corrupt regimes in the area, 
resulting in a large but fleeting empire in Eastern Senegal and Mali. While 
Oumar Taal's political empire soon gave way to French colonialism, the more 
long-standing result was to spread Islam and the Tijan Order through much of 
what is now Senegal, Guinea, and Mali.

   Deadly earthquake hits Indonesia 




 
   Local hospitals 
have been overwhelmed


 
   Patients flee 
tremor 

  A powerful earthquake 
has struck the Indonesian island of Sumatra, killing at least 70 people and 
flattening hundreds of buildings.  The US Geological Survey said the quake had 
a magnitude of 6.3, and was centred near the town of Padang. 
 There are fears the death toll may be higher as many people are believed to 
have been trapped beneath rubble. 
 The quake struck at 1049 local time (0349 GMT), causing panic among residents 
in western Sumatra.  
 A strong aftershock - magnitude 6.0 according to the US Geological Survey - 
struck two hours later causing further damage and panic. 
 An Indonesian government spokesman, Sudi Silalahi said 70 people had been 
killed. 
 Communications cut 
 Rescue workers confirmed that hundreds of buildings had collapsed although the 
BBC's Lucy Williamson in Jakarta says many of these are likely to be small, 
wooden houses. 
 Indonesian television pictures showed concrete buildings that had partially 
collapsed or had large cracks running through them. 
 Emergency officials are scrambling to co-ordinate rescue efforts, but 
communications to some of the affected areas have been cut. 
 Padang, the capital of West Sumatra, has lost its electricity supply and 
telephone lines are down to the epicentre, 50km (30 miles) northeast of Padang. 
 The lack of power has the led the army to evacuate residents from the town of 
Batusangkar near the epicentre, says our correspondent. 

RECENT INDONESIAN QUAKES
 

   
   6 March 2007: 
Magnitude 6.3 quake hits Sumatra, at least 70 dead
   18 December 2006: Mag 5.7 quake hits Sumatra, seven dead
   17 July 2006: Tsunami from Mag 7.7 quake off Java kills 500
   27 May 2006: Mag 6.2 quake near Yogyakarta kills 5,000
   26 December 2004: Tsunami from Mag 9.1 quake kills 130,000 in Sumatra
   
  
 Emergency teams are searching at least three towns that are known to have been 
hit, assessing the damage and trying to count the number of people killed. 
 Officials said 18 people had been killed in the town of Solok while 16 were 
killed in Tanah Datar. 
 The mayor of Solok, Samsurahim, said the casualty figure may rise higher 
still. 
 "I cannot predict how many people are still trapped because the process is 
still on," he said.  
 "However, there are many houses collapsed, and I believe that the inhabitants 
are in them." 
 Hospitals have been overwhelmed with wounded and officials have appealed for 
medicine and communications equipment. 
 Tents have been set up on playing fields in Solok and Padang to help treat the 
hundreds of wounded. 
 Collapse fears 
 Christelle Chapoy, from the aid charity Oxfam's earthquake response team, told 
the BBC her organisation was ready to assist. 
 "We have a standby emergency response team based in Yogyakarta [on Java], and 
they're collecting information from our local partners at this stage," she said 
from Banda Aceh in northern Sumatra. 
 Officials fear people are buried beneath rubble

 The first tremors brought people rushing out of their homes.  
 "The houses were all swaying away so were the things inside and lots of the 
houses collapsed," a man in Padang told the BBC. 
 Indonesian television showed pictures of panic and confusion at one hospital 
as patients and staff rushed outside, fearing the building would collapse. 
 Residents of some coastal areas fled to higher ground, but local officials 
said there was no risk of a tsunami as the earthquake happened under land 
rather than under the sea. 
 The quake was also felt in western coastal areas of Malaysia, and several tall 
buildings in Singapore's business district swayed slightly due to the tremor. 
 Traders said there was no impact on financial trading. 
 Indonesia sits on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, and experiences 
frequent earthquakes - as well as tsunamis triggered by underwater earthquakes. 
 Last year, more than 500 people died when a tsunami hit an area of the Java

Somalia: UN Envoy Appeals to Muslim States to Help Bring Peace And 
Reconciliation

 
 UN News Service  (New York)
 February 26, 2007
Posted to the web February 26, 2007
The top United Nations envoy for Somalia today called on Muslim countries to 
redouble their efforts to promote stability and reconciliation in the 
war-ravaged State which has seen a sharp rise in fighting, especially in 
Mogadishu, since the Transitional Government ousted Islamist groups with 
Ethiopian help two months ago.
At a meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Contact Group 
on Somalia in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Special 
Representative François Lonsény Fall urged OIC States with contacts with the 
leaders of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC), especially Yemen, to encourage 
the Islamist leaders to accept the Transitional Federal Charter and join in 
national reconciliation.
  "); //--> 

  Since the ouster of the UIC, which had seized control of Mogadishu in 
June and progressively extended its control, UN officials from 
Secretary-General Ban and Mr. Fall on down have underscored the historic 
opportunity the various parties now has to restore peace and stability to a 
country that has had no functioning central government since the regime of 
Muhammad Siad Barre was toppled in 1991.
But just 10 days ago, the UN reported that a steady flow of displaced persons 
was leaving Mogadishu to escape insecurity and violence.

Aweys Osman Yusuf
   
   Mogadishu23, Nov.06 ( Sh.M.Network) -
Speaking to parliament in Addis Ababa Prime minister of Ethiopia
Meles Zenawi revealed his government has come to a firm decision
of gearing up for a war with Somalia’s Union of Islamic Courts, 
   which is in control of most central and southern of the country.
   

  MalesZenawi   
   Ethiopiais believed to have thousands of its military 
troops in the smalltown of Baidoa, a temporary seat for the 
toothless transitionalfederal government. 
 Ethiopiamerely admits its has hundreds of military 
officers in Somalia totrain the government personnel and 
protect the government form theIslamic Courts fighters 
surrounding Baidoa.
  Zenawisaid jihad war against Ethiopia was an 
apparent threat to Ethiopiathat could not be ignored, adding 
that the policy of his governmentto solve any conflict through 
peaceful means has so far ended inunproductiveness, and 
therefore has become indispensable to be fullygeared up for the 
defense of Ethiopia against the enemy [Islamists].
  Thenews comes as United States government 
formally supported an Africantroop deployment to Somalia to 
protect the weak government basedin the small town of Baidoa, 
245 km southwest of the capital.
  Ethiopianmilitary convoy passing through Kansah 
Omane environs on the edgeof Baidoa was ambushed twice last 
week by pro-Islamist militiasin the area. 
  Twoarmored vehicles were blown up as number of 
Ethiopian soldiers wasreportedly killed in skirmishes that took 
place during the ambush.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Pictures: Islamic Court burn the seized Narcotic "Khat" that ruined the economy of Somalia

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

   Somali khat protester shot dead 


 Chewing khat is a 
popular pastime with many Somali men

  Somali Islamist fighters have opened fire on a crowd, angry 
at a reported ban on selling the mild narcotic khat, killing one person, say 
eyewitnesses.  About 60 khat vendors gathered in the capital, Mogadishu, to 
burn tyres and throw stones before shots were fired. 
 Local media reports a dusk-to-dawn curfew has been imposed. Kenya stopped 
flights to Somalia this week leading to a shortage of imported khat. 
 The Islamic courts have tried to outlaw khat since they rose to power in June. 
 
 They say it encourages immorality. 
 Most khat, chewed by many Somali men, especially the gunmen who have fought 
for control of the country for the last 15 years, was flown in from 
neighbouring Kenya. 
 But on Monday, Kenya banned all flights to Somalia, citing security fears. 
 There were six flights a week from Nairobi to Mogadishu and services to three 
other towns and many more khat flights each day.  
 According to the Union of Islamic Courts' website the flight ban has seen 
mosque attendance rise at prayer times. 
 'Boy killed' 
 Before the protest began, Islamists seized sacks of khat to be burned. 
 "We were demonstrating against the ban on the sale of khat that hurts the 
livelihoods of many people...[and] they opened fire on us," protester Nur Aden 
Wajishe told AFP news agency. 
 Other eyewitnesses described seeing a person die of their bullet wounds and 
several others injured in the shooting. 
 "A 13-year-old boy was killed," resident Ali Suleiman told Reuters news 
agency. 
 "I saw an injured man lying on the ground, he was bleeding profusely," he 
said. 
 The Somali Shabeelle website says the curfew was imposed to increase security 
after the deadly demonstration. 
 The Islamists have taken control of most of southern Somalia since seizing the 
capital in June.  
 Many Mogadishu residents have welcomed their rule as they have brought law and 
order to the city after years of anarchy. 
 As well as banning khat, the Islamists have been closing public cinemas and, 
according to some residents, enforcing strict dress codes. 
 There are fears of a regional conflict starting in Somalia, as Ethiopia backs 
the weak interim government based in the city of Baidoa and its rival Eritrea 
is accused of arming the Islamists.

Hamas said four of the dead were members of its military wing while the Islamic Jihad said one of its fighters was also killed. Israeli forces were also partially reoccupying the nearby refugee camp of Jabaliya and the northern town of Beit Lahiya. The army said a soldier was killed by Palestinian fire in Beit Hanun, after the armed wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad said they had killed an enemy serviceman in the besieged town.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Ethiopian the Orthodox Christian regime to fight Islamic Government in Somalia

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

 Ethiopia the Orthodox Christian want to do wht ever it cost its country to stop Islamic Government in Somalia.Muslims and Arab world are still sleeping.Ethiopia is 'technically at war'  Since June Islamists have taken control of large parts of Somalia  Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles Zenawi says that his country is
 "technically" at war with Somalia's Islamic courts.  "The jihadist elements within the Islamic Court movement are spoiling for a fight," he told Reuters news agency.  He said they were trying to avoid a "shooting war" but that if Ethiopia was forced to fight it would.  He said the few hundred armed Ethiopian military trainers in Somalia were there to support the beleaguered interim government based in Baidoa.   Somalia has been in the grip of warlords and militias for years and has not had a functioning national government since 1991.   The Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) has consolidated its control over much of southern Somalia after seizing the capital, Mogadishu, in June.  The UIC was set up by businessmen who wanted to impose law and order, and their gunmen have
 become Somalia's strongest fighting force.  'Patient'  The Islamists accuse Ethiopia of having troops inside the country as a fighting force backing the weak transitional government.We are trying to avoid a shooting war to the maximum extent possible   PM Meles Zenawi   Why Ethiopia is on a war footing  
   This is strongly denied by Addis Ababa, which says that the Islamists have soldiers within 15km of their common border.  "They've been declaring jihad against Ethiopia almost every other week. Technically we are at war," Mr Meles said.  "We believe they've been preparing terrorist outrages. They're very close to our border. The indications are not that encouraging. But we've been patient so far and we'll continue to be patient," he said.  "We are trying to avoid a shooting war to the maximum extent possible and therefore, as it were, we are looking the other way," the prime minister continued.  "They will have to force us to fight. That can come when and if they
 physically attack us."  The BBC's Amber Henshaw in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, says the situation is increasingly tense, with reports of weapons supplies being flown into Somalia on a regular basis.  Eritrea, which is deeply hostile to Ethiopia, is also alleged to have sent troops to Somalia to reinforce the UIC.  Observers fear that Somalia could become engulfed in a wider war for control of the Horn of Africa.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] State Terrorist Israel daily killings - Victim Palesitnians - Where are Muslims

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

   Israel kills six Hamas militants  Recent days have seen the worst violence in Gaza in months  Six Palestinians from the armed wing of the militant group Hamas have been killed in an Israeli incursion into the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials say.  Israeli tanks entered northern Gaza
 near the town of Jabaliya overnight and Palestinian militants confronted them.  The Israelis say they are trying to stop missiles being fired on Israeli towns from the Gaza Strip.  Nineteen Palestinians, most of them militants, have died in Israeli attacks in Gaza over the past few days.   Meanwhile, the home of a prominent Palestinian militant was destroyed by an Israeli air strike in the southern Gaza town of Rafah on the border with Egypt.  Israel issued a warning before the strike and no one was killed or injured, says the BBC's Alan Johnston in Gaza.  An Israeli army spokeswoman told the French news agency AFP that the house "hid a tunnel used for arms smuggling."  International boycott  The violence is the worst in the
 area since June, when the Israelis launched an offensive to try to rescue a captured soldier.  More than 220 Palestinians, many of them civilians, have been killed since then; two Israeli soldiers have been killed, one by "friendly" fire.  Three Israelis were wounded on Friday from crudely-made Palestinian missiles launched from Gaza at the nearby Israeli town of Sderot.  Israel said this home belonged to a Palestinian militant A spokesman for the Hamas-led
 Palestinian government denounced the latest Israeli operation.  Ghazi Hamad urged the international community to "impose a sanction on Israel to stop their crime, their massacres against our people."  The Palestinians have also been suffering under an international aid boycott since Hamas was elected to a majority of seats in January's parliamentary poll.  Principal international donors, including the United States and the European Union have boycotted the Palestinian government over Hamas' refusal to recognise the Jewish state or to renounce violence.  Attempts to form a government of national unity between Hamas and President Mahmoud Abbas's more moderate Fatah faction have so far foundered on the recognition issue.

Residential militias accompanied  by the Union of Islamic Courts with two battlewagons mounted with  anti-aircraft guns recaptured Burhakaba, 180 km southwest of the  capital.

Courts leader Sheik Sharif Ahmed has called  for a "holy war" against foreign troops in the country.  Mr Ahmed is seen as the Islamists' moderate voice  Somalia's Islamists have accused Ethiopian troops of attacking
 a town and have vowed a "holy war" in revenge.The town of Bur Haqaba lies on the road from the government base in Baidoa to the Islamist-held capital, Mogadishu.  Ethiopia denies that its troops have crossed the border but does support the government against the Islamists.An  Islamist leader, wearing fatigues and holding an AK-47, said a "jihad"  had been declared on Ethiopia, raising fears of a regional conflict."Heavily  armed Ethiopian troops have invaded Somalia," said Sheikh Sharif Sheikh  Ahmed, seen as a moderate within the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC)."They have captured Bur Haqaba.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Rice of Somalia's Islamist and the Fall of Clan Warlords

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Last  Updated Thu, Oct, 05 2006,13:30 Pm--Mogadishu Somalia   The  rise of Somalia’s Islamists and the fall of clan warlords   Aweys
Osman Yusuf  Mogadishu 05 Oct.06( Sh.M.Network) As Somalia is in transitional period, is it once again at centerof international attention? Somalia has put aside much of a burdenby crashing some of world’s gruesome, merciless warlords inSomalia.   Theemergence of Somalia’s Islamic Courts has been the returnof hopeful life and stability in the war-torn country particularlythe southern parts, including the capital Mogadishu, which once   
 was hotspot for tribal skirmishes, rape, mugging and thugs superiority.  Followingthe fall of former dictator Mohammed Siyad Barre, all kinds of armsfell indiscriminately into the hands of innocent civilians thatlater turned out callous population who changed the cultural peacefulpath and direction which was once known with Somalia.  Aweys   
 Osman Tomake matters worse, most of the young people who either desertedfrom their rural birthplaces or were born in the city became obligedto be allegiants to insatiable, heartless and dangerously armedtribal warlords who, within them, challenged over who makes themost money and the most battle-vehicles known in Somalia as “technicals”to obtain incredible wealth. 24February was the rise of Islamists and the collapse of faction leadersin Somalia.   The Islamic Courts is a group that composes of religious and educatedindividuals.  Althoughsome of them are uncompromising theologians, they at the same timedid a tremendous job liberating the HornAfrican population whosebrains had been infested with tribalism and nepotism hailed fromtribal warlords who cared about nothing but their accumulation ofwealth. EarlyJuly 2006 the Islamic powers forcefully and bloodily evicted thelast cell of the warlords from the capital Mogadishu; three weeksbefore they had invaded Jawhar, the main town of Middle Shabelleregion in north Somalia that was then run by warlord Mohammed Dhere. Whatis the United States government next step towards Somalia
 afterit fell short to bolster its policy and military presence in thecountry back in 1993, but rather had two of its army UH-60 BlackHawk helicopters shot down during the battle between late warlordMohammed Farrah Aidid backers and American Rangers causing about100 United States Army Rangers and Delta Force operators to be pinneddown in the city, trying to rescue survivors and recover the dead.In this Battle America lost 18 of its soldiers in Mogadishu. Afterat least 9 years, America chose to covertly fund Somalia’swarlords who later called themselves Ant-terror Coalition and Restorationof Peace; while US State Department neither admitted nor deniedthe allegation but said it would support any group, determined
 combatingterrorists that might be seek safe haven in the Horn of Africa particularlyin the lawless war-ravaged country Somalia. Thewarlords had been embarrassedly evicted and defeated by Union ofIslamic Courts that is now in control in a swathe of most strategicareas in the country and are undoubtedly going to seize the entirecountry by introducing the Islamic law. CanAmerica now be involved in Somalia militarily as it already hadmuch pain in the neck? United States is embroiled in Iraq and Afghanistan. Therewere times when any Somali person would
 want US forces to come backto Somalia and crash the tribal warlords that refused their communityto live in peace and tranquility.  Nowthat Islamists are in control and some sort of peace returned tothe once volatile city of Mogadishu, no one seems to want any foreignforces in the country completely. A

The PM, who is locked in a power struggle with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, said he would not be pushed from power or recognise Israel.   He said recognising Israel would "amount to renouncing the land of our ancestors".  Party clashes  Speaking on a hot autumn day at an outdoor stadium in Gaza City, Mr Haniya began to slur his speech before he started to fall and was helped to the ground by bodyguards.  Aides then helped him to a chair to recover and tried to cool him.  The rally was a show of support in Hamas' struggle with Fatah   He soon continued his address, saying: "We will not stop our steadfastness."  The rally came after Mr Abbas - a member of the rival party, Fatah - threatened on Wednesday to dissolve Mr Haniya's government.  The pair have been locked in a bitter power struggle since the collapse of talks aimed at forming a unity government.  It had been hoped a unity government would lead to the lifting of Western sanctions imposed because of the refusal of Hamas to recognise Israel and renounce violence.  But Mr Haniya told his
 supporters: "We will stay in the government. We will not recognise Israel."  In the wake of protests last week by armed forces loyal to Fatah, Mr Haniya said there was "a form of a mutiny against the government".  In the past week, some 15 people have been killed in clashes involving Hamas and Fatah supporters.  "Any government that faced what we have faced would have fallen in the first or second month. Why has it not fallen? Because it gets its strength from God," Mr Haniya said. Al-Mahdi Unite Muslims   Defend Islam and Prophet Muhammed s.a.w. with Pen, Hikmah (intelligence) and Dialogue.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Defend Islam/Prop.Muhammed with Pen - Vatican's Benedict XVI remarks dangerous

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

  http://www.guardian .co.uk/comment/ story/0,, 1874653,00. html  We cannot afford to maintain these ancient prejudices against   Islam The Pope's remarks were dangerous,   and will convince many more Muslims that the west is incurably Islamophobic   Karen ArmstrongMonday September 18, 2006The   Guardian In
 the 12th century, Peter the Venerable, Abbot of Cluny,   initiated a dialogue with the Islamic world. "I approach you not with arms, but   with words," he wrote to the Muslims whom he imagined reading his book, "not   with force, but with reason, not with hatred, but with love." Yet his treatise   was entitled Summary of the Whole Heresy of the Diabolical Sect of the Saracens   and segued repeatedly into spluttering intransigence. Words failed Peter when he   contemplated the "bestial cruelty" of Islam, which, he claimed, had established   itself by the sword. Was Muhammad a true prophet? "I shall be worse than a   donkey if I agree," he expostulated, "worse than cattle if I   assent!"Peter was writing at   the time of the Crusades. Even when Christians were trying to be fair, their   entrenched loathing of Islam made it impossible for them to approach it   objectively. For Peter, Islam was so
 self-evidently evil that it did not seem to   occur to him that the Muslims he approached with such "love" might be offended   by his remarks. This medieval cast of mind is still alive and well.Last week, Pope   Benedict XVI quoted, without qualification and with apparent approval, the words   of the 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II: "Show me just what Muhammad   brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such   as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." The Vatican seemed   bemused by the Muslim outrage occasioned by the Pope's words, claiming that the   Holy Father had simply intended "to cultivate an attitude of respect and   dialogue toward the other religions and cultures, and obviously also towards   Islam".But the Pope's good   intentions seem far from obvious. Hatred of
 Islam is so ubiquitous and so deeply   rooted in western culture that it brings together people who are usually at   daggers drawn. Neither the Danish cartoonists, who published the offensive   caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad last February, nor the Christian   fundamentalists who have called him a paedophile and a terrorist, would   ordinarily make common cause with the Pope; yet on the subject of Islam they are   in full agreement.Our Islamophobia dates   back to the time of the Crusades, and is entwined with our chronic   anti-semitism. Some of the first Crusaders began their journey to the Holy Land   by massacring the Jewish communities along the Rhine valley; the Crusaders ended   their campaign in 1099 by slaughtering some 30,000 Muslims and Jews in   Jerusalem. It is always difficult to forgive people we know we have wronged.   Thenceforth Jews and Muslims became the shadow-self of Christendom,
 the mirror   image of everything that we hoped we were not - or feared that we   were.The fearful fantasies   created by Europeans at this time endured for centuries and reveal a buried   anxiety about Christian identity and behaviour. When the popes called for a   Crusade to the Holy Land, Christians often persecuted the local Jewish   communities: why march 3,000 miles to Palestine to liberate the tomb of Christ,   and leave unscathed the people who had - or so the Crusaders mistakenly assumed   - actually killed Jesus. Jews were believed to kill little children and mix   their blood with the leavened bread of Passover: this "blood libel" regularly   inspired pogroms in Europe, and the image of the Jew as the child slayer laid   bare an almost Oedipal terror of the parent faith.Jesus had told his   followers to love their enemies, not to
 exterminate them. It was when the   Christians of Europe were fighting brutal holy wars against Muslims in the   Middle East that Islam first became known in the west as the religion of the   sword. At this time, when the popes were trying to impose celibacy on the   reluctant clergy, Muhammad was portrayed by the scholar monks of Europe as a   lecher, and Islam condemned - with ill-concealed envy - as a faith that   encouraged Muslims to indulge their basest sexual instincts. At a time when   European social order was deeply hierarchical, despite the egalitarian message   of the gospel, Islam was condemned for giving too much respect to women and   other menials.In a state of unhealthy   denial, Christians were projecting subterranean disquiet about their activities   on to the victims of the Crusades, creating fantastic enemies in their own image   and likeness. This habit has persisted. The Muslims who
 have objected so   vociferously to the Pope's denigration of Islam have accused him of "hypocrisy",   pointing out that the Catholic church is ill-placed to condemn violent jihad   when it has it

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Holy Month of Ramadhan:To defend Islam and Muhammed with Pen, Paper and History

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Assalamo alaykum Sisters and Brothers in Islam,  Muslim Ummah all over the world are hurted by false accusation of the  Roman Christians Pope Benedict of Vatican. Pope already carved his evil  deeds towards Islam in the book of history against Prophet Muhammed  s.a.w. This is not the first time the Roman Pope accuses Prophet  Muhammed s.a.w.. What is the duty of Muslim Ummah. Our emotioal fight is not end of the story.Let us defend Islam and Prophet Muhammed s.a.w. with Pen and Paper through History of mankind and civilization.  Let us find that the religion that Prophet Issa a.s. conveyed to the  Israelis and Romans was not Christianity it was Islam. The religion  Christian came from some opportunist who forged the Book of Allah Injil  and corrupted the way it was fit to them. The so called religion  Christianity is not mentioned in any book of Allah the Injil or the so  called Bible (means:
 collection of books). Let us start how  Christianity was spread in Europe, bloodshed, barbaric killings and  dictatorships and fascism. The poor and sick christians were not  allowed in the church the poor and sick people were labelled as the  cursed community. Let us find out what is happening in 20th  centuary. How Christianity is involved in slavery, civil wars, forcing  the hungry people of Africa, Yemen, Pakistan, India, Ethiopia, Somalia  you name it were ever there is disaster, the Christian Missioneries  from Evangelist, Catholic, Protestants, Juhava witness, and hundred of  Christians sects through out the world get chance to force needy poeple  of the world and hungry people in to christianity.  There  are hundreds of books in the liberaries, were people can find the  writtend evidence about how christianity is forced in Africa, Asia,  Europe, America and Australia.  So our request to the  Muslim Ummah is that
 during this Holy Month of Ramadhan we request all  Muslim Ummah - Sisters and Brothers, to do research and write in your  group with evidence of the book and reference about this false religion  Christianity.  Thanks to the era of Technology let us  utilize the technology to defend our Islam and defend the dignity of  our Prophet Muhammed s.a.w.Fi Amaanillah, Labbayk Ya Mahdi "Pope’s attack  no casual slip" writes American Muslim  Posted by:  "Bashir Chandio"  real_sindhi@ yahoo.com     real_sindhi Sat Sep 16, 2006 1:54 pm(PST)   September 16, 2006  
   Pope’s attack on Islam was no casual slip By Abdus Sattar   Ghazali   Pope Benedict has hit out at Islam and its concept of holy war. The  thinly veiled attack on Islam came during a theological lecture on  Sept. 12, 2006 to the staff and students at the University of  Regensburg, where he taught theology in the 1970s.Just like a cheap shot against Islam - packaged in western free speech  clichés and marketed as innocent satire – launched in the form of  cartoons of Prophet Muhammad printed by a Danish daily and republished  by European newspapers, Pope’s anti-Islam remarks are touted as an  invitation to open dialogue with Muslims. Lord Carey, the former  Archbishop of Canterbury, insists Muslims must learn to enter into  dialogue without "crying 'foul"'. The Guardian says: “There cannot be  dialogue without rigor and openness. The Muslim world should also take  pains to be thoughtful in its response, and
 perhaps less quick to take  offence.”   However, this was no casual slip. Beneath  his scholarly rhetoric, the Pope's logic seemed to be that Islam is  dangerous and godless. Though many are inclined to see this debate as a  fresh maneuver to keep the Muslims engaged in controversies.Using the words, "jihad" and "holy war", the Pope quoted criticisms of  the prophet Mohammed by a 14th century Byzantine Christian emperor,  Manuel II, during a debate with a learned Persian. "Show me just what  Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil  and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he  preached," Benedict quoted the emperor as saying. "The emperor goes on  to explain in detail the reasons why spreading the faith through  violence is something unreasonable, " the Pope said and added:  "Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the  soul.”   Manuel II
 (1350-1425) was the second-to-last  emperor of the East-Roman (Byzantine) Empire. As a boy, he had been  held prisoner by the Turks, and his dialogues took place as his  inheritance lay in jeopardy to the Ottoman empire, and his capital  under siege. Only 28 years after his death, Constantinople, the capital  of Byzantine empire fell to the Ottomans under Sultan Mehmed II.   Giles Fraser, a lecturer

Some Indian Muslims burnt an effigy of the world's Roman Catholic leader who quoted remarks which linked Islam to violence.Other Indian Muslims joined protest marches.Angry protesters in Egypt converged on a Cairo mosque.In mainly Muslim Pakistan, security forces turned out to guard Roman Catholic churches.
The row is being felt particularly in Turkey which the Pope is due to visit this year.   Last Updated: Friday, 15 September 2006, 11:08 GMT 12:08 UK  Muslim anger grows at Pope speech 
 The Pope's comments came on a visit to Germany  A statement from the Vatican has failed to quell criticism of Pope Benedict XVI from Muslim leaders, after a speech touching on the concept of holy war.  Speaking in Germany, the Pope quoted a 14th Century Christian emperor who said the Prophet Muhammad had brought the world only "evil and inhuman" things.  Pakistan's parliament passed a resolution on Friday criticising the Pope for making "derogatory" comments.  The Vatican said the Pope had not intended to offend Muslims.  HAVE YOUR SAY I think the Pope's comments weren't anti-Islamic, they were used to prove a point   Chris, Liverpool   Send us your comments "It is clear that the Holy Father's intention is to cultivate a position of respect and

But in spite of the statement, the pontiff returned to Rome to face a barrage of criticism, reports the BBC's David Willey in Rome.  The head of the Muslim Brotherhood said the Pope's remarks "aroused the anger of the whole Islamic world".  Violence and faith  The controversy comes on an important day for the Vatican, with Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, former Archbishop of Genoa, taking over as secretary of state.  Our correspondent says Pope Benedict, who has been closeted with his chief advisers at his summer residence near Rome, is upset at the way in which his remarks have been interpreted.  But there is no sense of panic at the
 Vatican, he says, and preparation for the Pope's forthcoming visit to Turkey, a predominantly Muslim secular nation, next November, are going ahead as planned.  In his speech at Regensburg University, the German-born Pope explored the historical and philosophical differences between Islam and Christianity, and the relationship between violence and faith.The remarks do not express correct understanding of Islam   Mohammed Mahdi AkefMuslim Brotherhood

US administration dynamited Twin Towers, Hugo Chavez says 

14.09.2006  Source: 
   Pages: 1  Venezuelan President Hugo 
Chavez released another sensational statement. He said that the US 
administration could have been directly involved in the organization of 9/11 
attacks in New York. 
Hugo ChavezBREAKING NEWS
  Top Russian banker assassinated in Moscow  Kurdish 
terrorists attack popular Turkish resorts  The collapse of the 
Twin Towers marked the start of the new era
Chavez said that US special services could have dynamited the WTC Twin Towers 
in New York to make the buildings tumble down. The Venezuelan leader added that 
buildings could not be demolished the way it happened with the WTC towers, 
unless there was an explosion conducted inside the skyscrapers to shake their 
walls. 
  Chavez believes that the US administration was in dire need of a good reason 
to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. The terrorist acts came in handy. “This is not 
an absurd theory. The towers could have been dynamited. The buildings do not 
collapse like that unless they are dynamited,” Hugo Chavez said. 
  Commenting on a report about alternative versions of the September 11 attacks 
in the USA, Venezuela’s leader set forth a similar version regarding the 
explosions of the Pentagon. “They say another plane crashed on the Pentagon, 
but there were no traces of the plane left,” the president said. 
  The hijacked jetliners slammed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center 
on September 11, 2001. The whole world has seen the footage. It is hard to say 
if the towers had been mined, or whether US special services and terrorists 
were acting in concert with one another or not. 
  Terrorist group al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the terrorist acts which 
killed about 3,000 people. Soon after the attacks the US administration 
launched a large-scale military operation in Afghanistan, where al-Qaeda’s 
leader Osama bin Laden was supposedly hiding. However, they found no Osama 
there. 
  The USA accused Saddam Hussein of sponsoring international terrorism and 
invaded Iraq in the spring of 2003. Needless to say that there is still no 
evidence to prove Hussein’s sponsorship of terrorist activities. US soldiers 
found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq either.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] USA World Watchdog supplying illegal mercenary in east Africa, - Somalia, Darfur, Uganda,Eriterea

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

  Last   Updated Sun, Sep, 10 2006,08:30 am--Mogadishu Somalia  World  Watchdog supplying illegal mercenary in east Africa, - Somalia, Darfur,  Uganda,Eriterea.  Stability in East Africa and Horn of Africa is  not of American's and British interest.  US   accused
 of covert operations in SomaliaThe Observer,Emails suggest that the CIA knew of plans by private military companies  Mogadishu 10, Sep. 06 ( Sh.M.Network)  - Dramatic evidence that America is involved in illegal mercenary operations in east Africa has emerged in a string of confidential emails seen by The Observer. The leaked communications between US private military companies suggest the CIA had
 knowledge of the plans to run covert military operations inside Somalia - against UN rulings - and they hint at involvement of British security firms.The emails, dated June this year, reveal how US firms have been planning undercover missions in support of President Abdullahi Yusuf's transitional federal government - founded with UN backing in 2004 - against the Supreme Islamic Courts Council - a radical Muslim militia which took control of Mogadishu, the country's capital, also in June promising national unity under Sharia law.Evidence of foreign involvement in the conflict would not only breach the UN arms embargo
 but could destabilise the entire region.One email dated Friday, 16 June, is from Michele Ballarin, chief executive of Select Armor - a US military firm based in Virginia. Ballarin's email was sent to a number of individuals including Chris Farina of the Florida-based military company ATS Worldwide.Ballarin said: 'Boys: Successful meeting with President Abdullay Yussef [sic] and his chief staff personnel in Nairobi, Kenya on Tuesday ... where he invited us to his private hotel suite flacked by security detail ... He has appointed is chief of presidential protocol as our go to during this phase.'She refers to one 'closed-door meeting' with a senior UN figure and mentions there are 'a number of Brit security firms' also looking to get involved.Ballarin claimed she has been given 'carte blanche' to use three bases in Somalia 'and the air access to reach them'.She then suggests that the CIA have been kept informed of the plans. Ballarin states: 'My contact whom we discussed from the agency side requested an in-person meeting with me. I arrived in New York at 2340 last night and was driven to Virginia - arriving at 0200 today.'According to the highly respected newsletter, Africa Confidential, which originally published extracts of the emails last week, Select Armor started its operation planning in Kampala, Uganda.   The emails suggest that the Ugandan government were willing to help secure arms supplies for any operation although this is denied by security officials in Kampala.In one reply to Ballarin, Farina said: 'A forced entry operation [into Mogadishu] at this point without the addition of follow-on forces who can capitalise on the momentum/initiative of the initial op will result in a replay of Dien Bien Phu'. This is
 a reference to the defeat of French colonial forces in Indochina in 1953.The website of Farina's company ATS boasts it 'can execute operations in support of host national indigenous forces'. ATS claims it uses former US and British special operations personnel.One email discussing funding of any operation sent from Farina to Ballarin states: 'We may have to re-focus our efforts in the US among the DOS [State Department] and DOD [Defence Department] to bring any forward movement to this effort.'The Observer left several messages with both Select and ATS
 requesting interviews but nobody responded. Ballarin told Africa Confidential last week that the company's operations in Somalia were 'classified'

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Pakistan: Women hit hardest in quake aftermath

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

PAKISTAN: Women hit hardest in quake aftermath ©    Ramita Navai/IRINAfter 11 months, thousands of quake victims are still without hope, most are womenMUZAFFARABAD, 8 Sep 2006 (IRIN) - Traditional coping systems have been stretched to breaking point following last year’s massive earthquake in northern
 Pakistan and women are bearing the brunt.Nearly 75,000 people died in the October quake that flattened towns and villages making some 5,500 women widows and particularly vulnerable.Gula Jan lost her husband seven years ago, but her position is typical of many of the widows at Chelha Bandi camp for quake survivors, who are relying on the waning support of extended family. "Since [my husband died] my brother has supported us, but he lost a lot in the earthquake and cannot support me anymore. He also has eight children of his own," Gulab said from the camp, in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani-administered Kashmir."I was a maid before but there are no jobs for me now. And even if I would find work again, it would not be enough for my family. Besides, I have no land either - the earthquake took it," she said.In the aftermath of the quake, vulnerable groups such as women, have been hardest hit according to the government. Northern
 Pakistan is a largely rural area where women already struggle with gender discrimination, social exclusion, illiteracy, socio-economic difficulties and low incomes.According to tradition, women in this strongly conservative region traditionally stayed at home raising their children while men went out to work. Since the disaster their roles have changed drastically. Women are often the main breadwinners for the family where the male head of the household has either died or suffered from permanent physical disabilities.The government's Earthquake Relief and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) has established a social protection strategy to focus on vulnerable groups in the earthquake-hit districts of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Pakistani-administered Kashmir.According to the ERRA, customary practices often denied women their right to inheritance and limited their access to property, income and livelihood options.The government
 has recommended providing technical assistance to vulnerable groups, including widows, but it would primarily only be available to property owners.For the poor majority who have no property, community-based care options are being considered, but no plan has yet been finalised.While the quake aftermath has highlighted women’s vulnerability, family and kinship structures have proved expedient in coping with another vulnerable group – orphaned children.Nearly 41,000 children became orphans as a result of the earthquake and nearly all have been spontaneously fostered by extended family members. While most cultures consider children who have lost both parents to be orphans, in Pakistan a child who has lost his or her father is considered an orphan too.Older women who provide for the protection of orphaned grandchildren must ensure their own safety as well as that of those in their care. Nuran Bibi is a grandmother to nine children
 who lost their parents in the earthquake. "I don't know how it will work out. I cannot support all nine of them," Nuran said from her shelter.Naheed Bibi, 18, the oldest of Nuran's grandchildren, goes to an Islamic school and will become a teacher within a year. Now living in Chamra Camp, also in Muzaffarabad, her future is uncertain."I don't know what will happen to us,” said Bibi. “When I finish school I cannot support the eight others and my grandmother. My father was a shopkeeper and my mother a housewife. We struggled then [before the earthquake] but now it is hopeless.”sc/ss[ENDS]

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] International seminar on "Right of Self-Determination" Genva Sep 18-Oct 6, 2006

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

International seminar on "Right of Self-Determination" to be Held at Geneva, Switzerland.Washington, D.C.  September 1, 2006. Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai, Executive Director of Washington-based KAC /Kashmir Center said that an International Seminar on "Right of Self-Determination" will be held during theSecond Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council that begins on September 18 - October 6, 2006at Geneva, Switzerland.  Internationally known experts have been invited to present their views about theapplicability of the principle of self-determination in the twenty-first century.Dr. Fai said that the self-determination of peoples is a basic principle of the United Nation Charter whichhas been reaffirmed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and applied countless times to thesettlement of international disputes.  He further elaborated that International Court of Justice considered
 the several resolutions ondecolonization process and noted: "The subsequent development of International Law in regard to non-selfgoverning territories as enshrined in the Charter of the UN made the principle of self-determinationapplicable to all of them." This opinion establishes the self-determination as the basic principle for theprocess of de-colonization. Dr. Fai emphasized that the concept seems to be as old as Government itself and was the basis of French andAmerican revolutions. In 1916, President Wilson stated that self-determination is not a mere phrase.President Wilson said that it is an imperative principle of action and included it in the famous14-point charter. This gave a prominence to the principle. Dr. Fai siad that self-determination as conceived by President  Wilson was an imprecise amalgamation of severalstrands of thought, some long associated in his mind with the notion
 of "self-determination," othershatched as a result or wartime developments, but all imbued with a general spirit of democracy. The Executive Director warned that the principle of self-determination and the maintenance ofinternational peace and security are inseparable. He said that is why the denial of this right toself-determination to the people of Kashmir has brought two neighboring countries in South Asia -India and Pakistan - to the brink of nuclear catastrophe. Dr. Fai reminded that the applicability of the principle of the self-determination to the specificcase of Jammu and Kashmir has been explicitly recognized by the United Nations. It was upheldequally by India and Pakistan when the Kashmir dispute was brought before the Security Council. Since, on theestablishment of India and Pakistan as sovereign states, Jammu and Kashmir was not part of theterritory of either, the two
 countries entered into an agreement to allow its people to exercise their rightof self-determination under impartial auspices and in conditions free from coercion from either side. Theagreement is embodied in the two resolutions of the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistanexplicitly accepted by both Governments. It is binding on both Governments and no allegation ofnon-performance of any of its provisions by either side can render it inoperative. For more information, please contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]*

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] American's Israel had never had mercy on humanitarian; UN resolution is garbage for Israel!

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

   UN denounces Israel cluster bombsAmerican's and British Isreal had never had mercy on humanitarian! As far as USA and UK say OK International body is only to serve the interest of Israel.  Cluster bombs are causing injuries and deaths daily, the UN says  The UN's
 humanitarian chief has accused Israel of "completely immoral" use of cluster bombs in Lebanon.   UN clearance experts had so far found 100,000 unexploded cluster bomblets at 359 separate sites, Jan Egeland said.  Israel has repeated its previous insistence that munitions it uses in conflict comply with international law.  Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rebuffed UN chief Kofi Annan's calls for a swift end to Israel's air and sea blockade of Lebanon.   After talks with Mr Annan, Mr Olmert said the siege would only be lifted once the ceasefire terms were fully implemented.  This included the release of two Israeli soldiers whose capture by Hezbollah militants sparked the conflict.   But a Lebanese Hezbollah cabinet minister said there would be no
 unconditional release of the soldiers - the pair would only be freed as a result of a prisoner exchange with Israel.  Every day, people are maimed, wounded and killed by these weapons - it shouldn't have happened
   Jan EgelandUN humanitarian chief  UN efforts to rid Lebanon of cluster bombs have been under way since the conflict ended. Earlier estimates from UN experts had suggested a total of about 100 cluster bomb sites.  Mr Egeland described the fresh statistics as "shocking new information".   "What's shocking and completely immoral is: 90% of the cluster bomb strikes occurred in the last 72 hours of the conflict, when we knew there would be a resolution," he said.  The UN ceasefire resolution which ended the month-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah was agreed by the Security Council on Friday, 11 August, and came into effect on Monday, 14 August. 
   Factfile: Cluster bombs  Cluster bomb clean-up fears Mr Egeland added: "Cluster bombs have affected large areas - lots of homes, lots of farmland. They will be with us for many months, possibly years.  "Every day, people are maimed, wounded and killed by these weapons. It shouldn't have happened."  Mr Egeland said his information had come from the UN Mine Action Co-ordination Centre, which had undertaken assessments of nearly 85% of the bombed areas in Lebanon.
  Earlier this week the US state department launched an inquiry into whether Israel misused US-made cluster bombs in Lebanon during the conflict.  A senior White House official told the BBC that the investigation would focus on whether US-made weapons were used against non-military targets.  Blockade defended  At their talks in Jerusalem, Mr Annan and Mr Olmert discussed the deployment of UN troops in Lebanon as well as the continuing blockade.  The UN chief said he hoped Israel would withdraw from southern Lebanon once 5,000 UN peacekeepers were on the ground "in the coming days and weeks".  The BBC's Jill McGivering, in Jerusalem, said Mr Annan and Mr Olmert emerged from their meeting with little sign of the gap between them having narrowed.Ehud Olmert rebuffed Kofi Annan's call
Olmert and AnnanMr Annan's Jerusalem talks followed a visit to Lebanon as part of a regional tour aimed at bolstering the truce between Israel and Hezbollah.  After his talks in Israel, Mr Annan flew to the West Bank for talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.   At a joint press conference in Ramallah, Mr Annan said that
 more than 200 Palestinians had been killed since the end of June, and the violence had to stop.  Mr Annan has now arrived in Jordan for talks with 

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] International efforts made to bring Sunni and Shia Iraqi brothers for civil war

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

   Baghdad killings mar pilgrimage  Tens of thousands are making the annual pilgrimage  Gunmen have opened fire on Shia Muslim pilgrims in Baghdad, killing at least 20 and injuring 300, officials say.  Tens of thousands of Shias are making the annual pilgrimage to the tomb of revered Imam Musa Kadhim in the Kadhimiya neighbourhood.
  Officials said the gunmen were thought to be Sunni extremists. Shia militiamen are guarding some of the pilgrims.  At the pilgrimage last year almost 1,000 people died in a stampede sparked by rumours of suicide bombers.   Iraq's health ministry told the BBC the deaths occurred in incidents in different parts of Baghdad on Sunday.  The Iraqi prime minister earlier warned that those using mosques to provoke sectarian violence would be prosecuted.  'Under control'  Security had been heightened and a ban on cars introduced to try to prevent sectarian violence.  Police said there were protected corridors for pilgrims but the sheer weight of numbers led some to try short cuts, where they were ambushed by snipers.
  Militiamen protected some of the pilgrims in Baghdad   Defence Minister General Abdul Qader Jassim told Reuters news agency 30 suspected militants were arrested and 14 police injured.  Qassem al-Mussawi, head of joint operations at the prime minister's office, said there had been some shooting but the situation was "under control".  Armed Shias of the Mehdi Army militia could be seen protecting some of the route.  Some
 Sunni leaders accused Shias of provoking the attacks and said security officials allowed militiamen to attack Sunni homes.  "We demand that the government stand up to these saboteurs," said a statement from the Sunni Islamic Party.  The numbers at the pilgrimage remained huge despite the threat of attacks.  Men, women and children, many in traditional Shia black, carried Korans and colourful flags to the imam's tomb. Some beat their chests in a traditional show of grief.  Worshippers inside the mausoleum kissed the tomb of the imam to remember his martyrdom in the 8th Century.  One pilgrim, Kareem Risan, who had walked from the southern city of Amara, told AFP news agency: "It took us seven days. We risked our lives and braved all possible danger to reach here."  The BBC's Mike
 Wooldridge, in Baghdad, says the challenge now is protecting so many thousands of people on their way home.  Last year mortars were fired at the mosque housing the tomb and rumours spread of possible suicide bombers.  In the ensuing stampede, almost 1,000 pilgrims died - the highest death toll on a single day since the 2003 war that toppled Saddam Hussein.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Israel the State Terrorist continue to terrorise Palestinian Deomcratically elect Government

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

   Israelis detain Hamas deputy PM  Israeli troops have seized many Hamas MPs and ministers   Israeli forces have seized Palestinian Deputy Prime Minister Nasser al-Shaer in a raid on his home in the West Bank town of Ramallah.  He was held when troops burst into the house early on Saturday, his wife said.
  The Israeli military confirmed the detention of Mr Shaer, who is a senior member of the governing Hamas movement, which does not recognise Israel.  Israel has detained about 30 MPs and a third of the cabinet since the capture of an Israeli soldier in June.   Mr Shaer's wife added that he had been in hiding since Israel began its crackdown in late June.  He was rarely home during that period, she said.  An unnamed Israeli army spokesman quoted by AFP news agency said the detention was "part of our fight against the radical Hamas movement".  'Sorry, madame'  According to the detained man's wife, "several" military vehicles circled the house before dawn after which troops came to the door.  An
 officer told her after checking their identity documents: "Sorry madame, but your husband has to come with us".  "He let him first say goodbye to our four children," she told Reuters news agency.  Israel's crackdown has largely focused on the Gaza Strip, Hamas's stronghold, but politicians from the Islamist movement have also been detained in the West Bank.  Its position is that Hamas is a terrorist organisation and its leaders are therefore "targets for arrest".   In a separate development, an Israeli soldier was shot dead by a Palestinian gunman in the West Bank, the army said.  The gunman was then shot dead, officials say.   The incident happened at a checkpoint near the city of Nablus.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] India and Israel 2 friends against Islam - Israel orders India to ban Arab TV Channels

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Hello,   raza is suggesting the following article from http://www.arabnews.com:   India Bans Arab TV Channels Under Pressure From Israel   Shahid Raza Burney, Arab News   BOMBAY, 6 August 2006 - In a country widely referred to as the world's largest democracy, the Indian government has succumbed to mounting Israeli pressure and ordered a nationwide ban on the broadcast of Arab television channels.  The Indian government's ban on Arab television stations is in complete contrast to the friendship that Arab countries imagine exists with their neighbor
 across the Arabian Sea. It seems the ban is a move to ensure that Indians do not get to see the atrocities that are presently being committed by Israel in Lebanon and the occupied territories.  Nabila Al-Bassam, a Saudi businesswoman on a trip to Bombay, told Arab News how she became exasperated at not being able to watch Arab channels at Bombay's leading five-star Oberoi Hotel. When she took up the issue with the hotel manager, she was told that Arab television channels had been banned across India.  A perplexed Al-Bassam then sent an SMS to Arab News Editor in Chief Khaled Almaeena to verify whether this was indeed the case. "Oberoi Hotel tells me that the government of India has banned all Arab TV channels. Why? I hate watching CNN and BBC," she wrote to Almaeena.  Talking to Arab News, Oberoi Hotel Manager Mohit Nirula did allude to the fact that a ban was in place. "The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has laid down certain
 rules. It is our duty to abide by and follow the rules of the country," he told this correspondent.  Minister of Information and Broadcasting Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi was busy in Parliament and was unavailable for comment on the issue. However, a ministry official explained why the Indian government decided to enforce the ban. The official highlighted that India enjoys close and cordial relations with Israel and the US more than any of the Arab governments.  According to another source within the government, the ban is a clear sign to all governments in the Middle East that the Israeli, American and British governments carry far more influence in India than any of the Arab governments.  Several senior Indian journalists explained that the ban was an indication that India had succumbed to Israeli pressure rather than American.  "The whole exercise is to browbeat Arabs and show them as terrorists. The government is subscribing to the
 absurd argument that channels like Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya promote hatred and encourage terrorism," they said.  Political analysts in India described the move as a game of double standard that India is playing. On the one hand India establishes friendship with the Arab world while simultaneously it joins with Israel and the US in defaming them. It seems that the pro-Israeli lobby wishes to drive a wedge between India and its time-tested Arab allies. The Indian government's present stance is in stark contrast to the late Mrs. Indira Gandhi's staunch support of the Palestinian cause.  The banning of Arabic channels is a federal government decision, done under what senior Indian journalists claim to be intense pressure from the Israeli, American and British governments.  The Indian government has been vocal in its condemnation of Israeli barbarity and has offered millions of rupees in aid to refugees in Lebanon. Arabs sympathetic to India
 have therefore met the news with surprise.  Many Arabs draw inspiration from India's heroic struggle against British imperialism and the Indian independence struggle is seen by Palestinians as a brilliant example of throwing out the yoke of imperialism. It is sad that 50 years after independence the world's largest democracy unfairly suppresses alternative opinion and allows itself to be dictated to by foreign powers.  The analysts believe the Indian government may have used a clause within the Cable TV Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, that certain channels or programs that can potentially cause damage to India's friendly relations with foreign countries can be banned, a clear violation of democratic ideals such as freedom of _expression_ and freedom of speech.  The response to the ban by hotel administrations across Bombay has been dismal. Chad Alberico, JW Marriott's customer care official in Washington, said: "We have reviewed your recent
 inquiries regarding the television offerings at our JW Marriott Bombay. We have phoned our colleagues at the hotel to discuss the matter at hand, but as it is the weekend, we will need additional time to form a complete response."  "I'm on my way home, it's the weekend and I will respond on Monday," said Shehnaz Ankelsaria from the Taj President Hotel. Annan Udeshi from The Hilton was unavailable and asked for a message to be left on her recorder. Khushnooma Kapadia of Marriott Hotel said she would get back later. Rafat Kazi from the Grand Central Sheraton said that she would answer after consulting her genera

    Email Article    
 Print Article    Send Your Feedback The  Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, has threatened to call a  referendum unless Hamas resolves differences with his Fatah faction. The  referendum would ask Palestinians whether they accept a document that  was drawn up by Fatah and Hamas leaders imprisoned in Israel and that  endorses a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.  The document would amount to a recognition of  Israel's right to exist, a major stumbling block for relations between  the Hamas-led government and the United States and European Union.  Hamas, elected to power in January, has refused to  recognise Israel, and the US and EU have cut aid until Hamas reverses  this stance, gives up armed struggle and accepts past deals signed  between the Palestinian
 Authority and Israel.  Since Hamas took office in March, Israel has frozen  tax revenues to the Authority, amounting to $52 million a month, and  has closed Palestinian borders, leading to shortages in food and  medicine and a halt in exports.   Salaries for about 130,000 Palestinian public servants have gone unpaid.  Aljazeera.net spoke with eight Palestinians about  their views, asking whether they think Hamas should recognise Israel's  right to exist and under what conditions.  Mariam Om Ibrahim al-Kurd, 82, refugeeI think Hamas should stand firmPlease tell me, why should I recognise Israel?  Does it recognise my right to return to the land they  expelled me from in the middle of the night - the same land they want  me to recognise now as theirs?   I think Hamas should stand firm by its principals,  and I am confident God will make them victorious, because they have  only the interests of the people at heart, not themselves like those  cowards before them.  Maha Banna, 32, schoolteacherIsrael ... doesn't
 need  anyone to recognise its existenceThe  previous government recognised Israel and it achieved nothing. It's  simply another way to prove that [Israel] gets what it wants, when it  wants.   Besides, Israel exists already - it doesn't need  anyone to recognise its existence. And for them to set borders  unilaterally - that in and of itself is not recognising our right to  exist.  I don't think whether they acknowledge Israel or not will make a difference. …  While money is a problem right now, people don't want  Hamas to compromise more politics. Playing with words is not up to  them, it's up to the PLO.    Hasan Nakhala, 35, shopkeeperPeople have no money to buyanymoreHamas should leave power - they aren't accounting for all these difficulties in society, nor the realities on the ground.  I buy merchandise every week, but I'm not selling  anything. People have no money to buy anymore. They are selling their  gold and other belongings in order to buy food for their families.  I deal with Israelis every day in my trade - this is my reality. So I know they exist.    Besides, didn't Hamas recognise the PLO and follow  its path? And didn't the PLO recognise Israel? There is no alternative  solution.   Saeed Abo Salah, 40, farmerI would say 'yes' only afterconditions are metWhat did recognition bring us?  We've been through 10 years of negotiations and yesses for nothing.   All American initiatives have failed. Oslo was merely  institutionalised occupation. So now we give them one more "yes" for  what? To continue with their annexation plan in the West, to continue  and choke us here in Gaza?    I would say "yes" to recognition in a referendum only  after certain conditions are met. They

Changing Reaction  Tide of Arab Opinion Turns to Support for Hezbollah Agence France-Presse — Getty ImagesA crowd in Cairo on Wednesday, cordoned off by the police, condemned  the killing of Lebanese civilians and expressed support for Hezbollah

 Arab governments, starting with Saudi Arabia, slammed Hezbollah for recklessly provoking a war, providing what the United States and Israel took as a wink and a nod to continue the fight.

   Interactive Graphic   Attacks, Day by DayGraphic   Displaced From Home  More Multimedia: Israel | Middle East  Readers' Opinions  Forum: The Middle East Now, with hundreds of  Lebanese dead and Hezbollah holding out against the vaunted Israeli  military for more than two weeks, the tide of public opinion across the  Arab world is surging behind the organization, transforming the Shiite  group’s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, into a folk hero and forcing a  change in official statements. The Saudi royal family and King Abdullah II of Jordan,  who
 were initially more worried about the rising power of Shiite Iran,  Hezbollah’s main sponsor, are scrambling to distance themselves from  Washington. An outpouring of newspaper columns, cartoons, blogs  and public poetry readings have showered praise on Hezbollah while  attacking the United States and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for trumpeting American plans for a “new Middle East” that they say has led only to violence and repression. Even Al Qaeda,  run by violent Sunni Muslim extremists normally hostile to all Shiites,  has gotten into the act, with its deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahri,  releasing a taped message saying that
 through its fighting in Iraq, his  organization was also trying to liberate Palestine. Mouin  Rabbani, a senior Middle East analyst in Amman, Jordan, with the  International Crisis Group, said, “The Arab-Israeli conflict remains  the most potent issue in this part of the world.” Distinctive changes in tone are audible throughout the Sunni world. This week, President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt emphasized his attempts to arrange a cease-fire to protect all sects in Lebanon,  while the Jordanian king announced that his country was dispatching  medical teams “for the victims of Israeli aggression.” Both countries  have peace treaties
 with Israel. The Saudi royal court has  issued a dire warning that its 2002 peace plan — offering Israel full  recognition by all Arab states in exchange for returning to the borders  that predated the 1967 Arab-Israeli war — could well perish. “If  the peace option is rejected due to the Israeli arrogance,” it said,  “then only the war option remains, and no one knows the repercussions  befalling the region, including wars and conflict that will spare no  one, including those whose military power is now tempting them to play  with fire.” The Saudis were putting the West on notice that  they would not exert pressure on anyone in the Arab world until  Washington did something to halt the destruction of Lebanon, Saudi  commentators said. American officials say that while the Arab  leaders need to take a harder line publicly for domestic political  reasons, what matters more is what they tell the United States in  private, which the
 Americans still see as a wink and a nod.  There are evident concerns among Arab governments that a victory for  Hezbollah — and it has already achieved something of a victory by  holding out this long — would further nourish the Islamist tide  engulfing the region and challenge their authority. Hence their first  priority is to cool simmering public opinion. But perhaps not  since President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt made his emotional  outpourings about Arab unity in the 1960’s, before the Arab defeat in  the 1967 war, has the public been so electrified by a confrontation  with Israel, played out repeatedly on satellite television stations  with horrific images from Lebanon of wounded children and distraught  women fleeing their homes. Egypt’s  opposition press has had a field day comparing Sheik Nasrallah to Nasser,  while demonstrators waved pictures of both. An  editorial in the weekly Al Dustur by Ibrahim Issa, who faces a
 lengthy  jail sentence for his previous criticism of President Mubarak, compared  current Arab leaders to the medieval princes who let the Crusaders chip  away at Muslim lands until they controlled them all. After  attending an intellectual ral

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

State  Terrorist Israel Chavez: U.S.  support for Israel  will end in a 'Holocaust'  http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/738183.htmlLast update - 06:06  15/07/2006By Haaretz Service and News Agencies Venezuelan President Hugo  Chavez said Friday that U.S.  backing of Israel is  responsible for flaming tensions in the Middle East  and putting the world on course toward another "Holocaust.""The fundamental blame falls again on the U.S. empire.  It's the empire that armed and supported the abuses of the Israeli elite, which  has invaded, abused and defied the United Nations for a long time," Chavez  said in a speech during a military act in Caracas."I'll seize this opportunity to condemn categorically and  fully the aggression that the Israeli elite is carrying out against innocents  over there in the Middle East," he said.Chavez was referring to a new  explosion of Mideast violence this week as   Israel Air Force war planes began striking Lebanon  after Hezbollah guerrillas captured two Israeli soldiers and killed eight  others Wednesday in a cross-border raid into Israel. In response, Hezbollah has  fired hundreds of rockets at northern Israel.The Venezuelan leader charged that Israel is using excessive force."Are we going to bomb cities and tell them that we won't  stop bombing until they return the soldier? That's crazy," he said."Worse, it's craziness with nuclear bombs. (The Israelis)  have their weapons of mass destruction and nobody criticizes them, nobody says  anything because the empire is behind them," Chavez said.Blaming the escalation on Washington's  undue influence, Chavez said: "The U.S. empire's desire to dominate  has no limits and that could take this world to a real Holocaust. May God save  us."Chavez is one of the most ferocious critics of U.S. foreign  policy, even though his oil-producing country
 remains closely tied to the United States,  its top market, through billions of dollars (euros) in annual crude sales. The White House said Friday that United States President George  W. Bush would not press Israel  to halt its military operation in Lebanon.White House spokesman Tony Snow said, when asked whether Bush  had agreed to a request from Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora that he rein  in the Israelis, "No. The president is not going to make military  decisions for Israel."Snow told reporters that Bush had spoken by telephone to Lebanon's prime minister among other Middle East leaders.He said Bush believed the Israelis have the right to protect  themselves, but should limit "so-called collateral damage not only to  facilities but also to human lives".Snow said Siniora had suggested a cease-fire, which Washington favored, but  thought would be hard to pull off."It is unlikely that either or both parties are going to  agree to that at this juncture," Snow said.A leading Senate Republican on Friday urged U.S. restraint in supporting Israel's military campaign against Hezbollah,  citing the problems it may cause in the war in
 Iraq  and efforts to disarm Iran.Senator John W. Warner, chairman of the Armed Services  Committee, issued a written statement Friday calling on the Bush administration  to "think through very carefully how Israel's  extraordinary reaction could affect our operations in Iraq and our  joint diplomatic efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue."This is a very critical time for the U.S. in the Middle East, and the Israeli actions  will certainly have an impact beyond Lebanon  and Gaza,"  Warner warned. Rice urges Israel to 'exercise restraint' in Lebanon  U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged Israel  on Thursday to exercise restraint in its attacks against Lebanese targets and  demanded Syria press  Hizbollah guerrillas to stop attacking Israel."It is extremely important that Israel  exercise restraint in its acts of self-defense," she told reporters  travelling with Bush in Germany.Her comments, at a hastily arranged briefing, reflected a  sharper focus on Israel than  statements from Bush earlier, who said Israel  has a right to defend itself with its attacks in Lebanon but that it should not  weaken the Lebanese government.Rice said the message was being sent through numerous  diplomatic channels and added: "I think
 they understand the need to  exercise restraint."Israel struck Beirut airport and military  airbases and blockaded Lebanese ports on Thursday, intensifying reprisals that  have killed 55 civilians in Lebanon  since Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers a day earlier.Asked in a CNN interview about Rice's call, Israel's ambassador to the U.S. said Israel  had exercised restraint since its 2000 withdrawal from Lebanon and  believed its military offensive was now the right way to
 deal with Hezbollah.Ambassador Daniel Ayalon said: "I think they (Hezbollah)  misinterpreted our restraint for the last six

[IslamCity] Islamic Court bringing stablity in Somalia forcing Warlords to surrender

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Somalia: Mogadishu Calm As Death Toll Rises to 97Islamic Court Union is gaining more power and support of the Somali Citizens.All warlords should surrender or meet conveniences UN Integrated Regional Information Networks  July 11, 2006Posted to the web July 11, 2006NairobiCalm returned to Mogadishu, the Somali capital, on Tuesday after two days of fighting between the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) and militia loyal to two faction leaders left 97 dead."The situation is calm, with Qeybdid's [warlord Abdi Hassan Awale] forces handing over their weapons to the courts," said Hassan Ade 
 of Mogadishu-based HornAfrik Radio.He said UIC forces were now in control of areas previously held by Qeybdid. "They [Qeybdid's forces] surrendered last night," after initially refusing to do so, he added. Ade said Qeybdid had disappeared, and "his current whereabouts are not known".There are reports that "he is wounded and has been taken to a hotel in north Mogadishu, for safety reasons", another source said.The latest fighting, concentrated in the K6 area and the district of Medina, south and southwest of Mogadishu respectively, was the UIC's last push to dislodge Qeybdid from his final outpost.The fighting also targeted militiamen loyal to Hussein Aideed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior in the Transitional Federal Government.Qeybdid was the only member of the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and 
 Counter Terrorism, which was defeated by the UIC on 4 June, to remain in Mogadishu.Hospital sources told IRIN the death toll was "now over 90" after two days of fighting."We confirmed 43 yesterday [Monday] and 54 Sunday, a total of 97 deaths," said a doctor in Medina hospital. However, he cautioned: "These numbers are only the ones we have seen. We have reports that both sides had buried many of their dead in the battle-field."He said various hospitals in the city were treating 449 people injured in the two days of fighting.Thousands of people have fled their homes. "More people fled yesterday's fighting, which was [more intense] than Sunday's," said Dahir Muhammad Dheere, a resident in Buulo Hubey of Medina district.He said the most affected areas were "parts of Hodan district, Waberi, [all in south Mogadishu] and Medina, 
 including Buulo Hubey. In some areas you will be lucky to find anyone. The streets are empty."  He said even though there was no fighting on Tuesday, no one had yet returned to his neighbourhood."It is very quiet today but my family has not returned and no one else has," Dahir Dheere said. "I think people are waiting to see what happens next before venturing back. They may return if this holds for another day."[ This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations ]   Copyright � 2006 UN Integrated Regional Information Networks.

[IslamCity] Israeli Seize Hamas Officials and Gaza

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Gaza and Seize Hamas Officials   George Azar for The New York TimesIsraeli forces destroyed bridges throughout Gaza today, in the first  day of its incursion into the Gaza Strip, following the capture of one  of its soldiers in    By IAN FISHER and STEVEN ERLANGER  Published: June 29, 2006   GAZA, Thursday, June 29 — Israel  stepped up its confrontation on Wednesday with Palestinian militants  over the capture of an Israeli soldier, battering northern Gazan towns  with artillery and sending warplanes over the house of the Syrian  president, who is influential with the Palestinian leader believed to  have ordered the kidnapping.  Skip to next paragraphMultimediaGraphic: Israeli Tanks Move Into Gaza  Video Report  Related  Text of Agreement Reached by Palestinian Factions(June 28, 2006)Readers’ Opinions  Forum: The Middle East Enlarge this Image  George Azar for The New York TimesPalestinian firefighters tried to douse the flames at one of six  burning transformers at Gaza's main power station, bombed Wednesday by  Israel.  In the West Bank city of Ramallah early on Thursday, Israeli forces detained 8 ministers of the 24-member Hamas-led  cabinet and 20 lawmakers, including Deputy Prime Minister Nasser Shaer  and Labor Minister Mohammed Barghouti, security officials said.The  crisis seemed to be tipping toward escalation as Israeli
 tanks hunkered  down inside southern Gaza at the airport on Wednesday after warplanes  had knocked out half of Gaza's electricity and pounded sonic booms over  houses. The Israeli defense minister, Amir Peretz, approved an  extension of the incursion into northern Gaza, where Palestinian  militants have been firing crude Qassam rockets into Israel. As of  early Thursday, though, Israel denied reports that it was moving tanks  into northern Gaza. About 9 p.m. Wednesday, after saying they would  drop leaflets urging citizens of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya to leave  their homes, Israeli artillery batteries began to shell.On  Thursday, an Israeli warplane fired a missile in Gaza City that an  Israel spokeswoman said hit a soccer field near the pro-Hamas Islamic  University. Reuters reported that the missile hit inside the  university. Political leaders of Hamas on Wednesday joined the  militants to demand the release of Palestinian women and
 minors from  Israeli jails in exchange for the soldier — a condition that the  Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, rejected. The choice,  Israeli officials said, was the soldier's unconditional release or an  escalation that could widen the conflict regionally: Haim Ramon,  Israel's justice minister, raised the possibility of a strike in Syria  to kill Khaled Meshal, the exiled political leader of Hamas; the men  who hold the Israeli soldier, Cpl. Gilad Shalit, 19, are believed to be  following his orders."We won't hesitate to carry out extreme  action to bring Gilad back to his family," Mr. Olmert said of the  soldier, who was captured Sunday in an attack near Gaza led by Hamas. In what the Israelis said was a message to the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad,  four Israeli warplanes on Wednesday flew over his residence in Latakia,  in northwest Syria, where he was believed to be staying. Syrian state  television said Syrian air-defense systems had fired on the planes and  forced them to flee.Mahmoud Abbas,  the Palestinian president, on Wednesday condemned Israel's attacks on  infrastructure in Gaza, which disabled its only power plant and knocked  down three bridges. In a statement, Mr. Abbas said he considered "the  aggression that targeted the civilian infrastructures as collective  punishment and crimes against humanity."The crisis also spilled  over into a second — and
 possibly third — kidnapping. In Gaza, the  Popular Resistance Committees, a militant group with ties to Hamas,  displayed the identity card of an 18-year-old Israeli settler, Eliahu  Asheri, whom it claimed to have kidnapped in the West Bank. Militants  said they would kill him if Israel did not halt operations in Gaza, and  early Thursday his body was found near Ramallah. Israeli media carried  unconfirmed reports that a 60-year-old Israeli missing for two days had  also been abducted.Two Palestinians, ages 2 and 17, were  reported killed Wednesday while playing with an unexploded Israeli  shell in the town of Khan Yunis. But there were no reports of  casualties in Israeli airstrikes.There have been no reported  skirmishes between the Israeli military and Palestinian militants,  though the Israelis stayed largely out of reach at the airport. The  airport, Israeli military officials say, will act as a staging ground  for an operation that will
 escalate until Corporal Shalit, reported to  be wounded, is freed.For the Israelis, the operation is aimed at  deterring Hamas, whi

Somalia: Cleric Condemns Parliament for Troop AskingShabelle Media Network  (Mogadishu) June 22, 2006Posted to the web June 22, 2006Mustafa HajiGuri'elSheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, a prominent Somali Cleric and the founder of Joint Islamic Courts said that asking peace keeping forces in Somalia by the parliament was historical mistake ever done.Shiek Hassan who is at Guriel area of Gal-Gaduud district for strengthening Islamist movements in the region as he mentioned told Shabelle Radio that Somalia parliament made the worst mistake after approving foreign troop deployment."They have done nothing for Somali people since formed in Kenya, if their first step is asking foreign
 troops in the country that is Unfortunate" he said"We have been looking forward their acknowledgments after defeating warlords that hardened the government" he said adding that he warns against deploying foreign troops in Somalia.Sheik Aweys also mentioned that he urges former warlords to hand over their weapons to the Islamic Courts as Mohamed qanyare did."We don't see it progress announcing new Islamic Courts in the capital but we need them to hand over their weapons" he saidSheik Aweys sent his complements to Mohamed Qanyare, former
 Mogadishu based warlord and now at Diri village around El-Bur area where he descends."I thank for my brother Qanyare who dared to hand his arms over the Islamic Courts after he was defeated" Sheik Aweys said encouraging others still armed in Mogadishu to take same path as Qanyare.

[IslamCity] Somalia citizen "We are More Secure under Islamic Law, after 16 yrs of suffering"

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Somalia: 'We're More Secure' - Mogadishu Residents"To go to the market, you had to dodge armed gangs who robbed people on their way to the market," Halima said. "Now we have a peaceful environment. We even dare to walk at night, something I have not done in 16 years."    UN Integrated Regional Information Networks  June 13, 2006Posted to the web June 13, 2006NairobiThere is a palpable air of euphoria and optimism in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, following last week's takeover of the city by the Islamic courts from an alliance of warlords, local
 sources said. City residents have welcomed the change, saying they feel more secure than they have in the past 16 years."It is like an enormous weight we have been carrying for 16 years has been lifted," said Marian, a resident in the north of the city, who requested her last name not be used. "We have been suffering under them [warlords] for 16 years. This is a welcome change."Islamic leaders in Mogadishu claimed victory over a group of rival politicians on 5 June and pledged to restore security in the capital, where bloody clashes between the two sides have claimed hundreds of lives and displaced thousands of people.Some residents believe the Islamic leaders were already making good on their promises. "It was impossible to walk with any amount of money or property without being attacked" before the defeat of the warlords, said businessman Ali Muhammad. "There is a lot less
 insecurity today [Tuesday] than a week ago." Muhammad, who lives in the southwestern district of Medina, said that before the takeover, passenger vehicles coming into the city centre from his district had to pass through a dozen checkpoints, where they had to pay extortion to militia. "Today, we saw only one - and they were checking for weapons, not asking for money."Militia loyal to the Islamic courts have been fighting against faction leaders, who came together under the umbrella Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism, since February. More than 300 people are believed to have died in the violence, and some 1,500 others have been wounded.Halimo Abdi, who lives near the livestock market, one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Mogadishu, said there has been a marked difference in security. "To go to the market, you had to dodge armed gangs who robbed people on their way to the market," she
 said. "Now we have a peaceful environment. We even dare to walk at night, something I have not done in 16 years."In spite of the exhilaration about the changes in Mogadishu, people are still reluctant to be overly optimistic. "It has a feel of being too good to be true," said Muhammad. "Absolutely - it is the safest it has been in 16 years."Many people in Mogadishu are wondering how long it will last, because there are still warlords in the city who would use clan identity to divide society. Clanism is still an issue in Mogadishu. "If we fall for this, we will be back to square one," Marian said. She added that the Islamic courts should remain vigilant to ensure that they, too, are not divided into clans.Abdullahi Shirwa, of the local Civil Society in Action, concurred with Marian. "They [courts] still have to deal with those [faction leaders] still in the city, before the
 celebrations," he said. Relevant LinksThe faction leaders who are still in Mogadishu, including Muse Sudi Yalahow and Bashir Rage, did not pose a military threat and "are in no position to challenge the courts", according to a local journalist. "They can be a threat if they succeed to rally their subclans,
 something they have so far been unable to do.""Whatever happens after this, we have entered a new era. We know that warlords can be defeated," Marian said.[ This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations ]   Copyright © 2006 UN Integrated Regional Information Networks.

[IslamCity] Somalia: Islamic Court who controls Mogadishu wants to throw out Warlords

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Somalia: Is It Over for Mogadishu's Warlords?     To bring peace in the capital Mogadishu the Islamic Courts want to kick out the warlords who could not bring peace and stability in Somalia for more than 15 years. Al Muslims worldwide should support Islamic Court immediately. (Labbayk Ya Mahdi) Al-Mahdi Unite MuslimsUN Integrated Regional Information Networks   June 6, 2006Posted to the web June 6, 2006  Nairobi     The Islamic courts in Somalia may have taken control of the capital, Mogadishu, but they face immediate challenges of whether to set up an administration in the city or hold talks with the Baidoa-based
 transitional government, analysts said.     "They are not immune from Somali politics," said Suliman Baldo, Africa programme director for the International Crisis Group (ICG). "In the past, they have been hardline. It is doubtful that they have become more moderate. For them, the hard part is just beginning."  With most of Mogadishu under the control of the courts, the city's residents were cautiously optimistic on Tuesday that the days when "warlords" held sway over the strife-torn Horn of Africa country were, at last, coming to an end. One such warlord, Mohammed Qanyare Afrah - a key member of the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism, which was ousted from Mogadishu on Sunday - declined to discuss the alliance's loss of the Somali capital when reached by IRIN via telephone.  Qanyare said he was in the town of Jowhar, 90km north of
 Mogadishu. He was one of four powerful Mogadishu-based faction leaders serving as ministers in Somalia's transitional government who was sacked on Sunday by Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Gedi. The sackings came as alliance forces were being beaten back from Mogadishu.  Militias loyal to the Islamic courts have been fighting against the secular faction leaders since February. More than 300 people are believed to have died in the violence, some 1,500 others have been wounded and many thousands displaced.  The end of the fighting has brought respite to Mogadishu residents. "Everybody is happy. If the business community, the Islamic courts and the civil society come to a consensus on how to restore and maintain law and order, then there will be no return to warlordism," said Abdulahi Shirwa, the head the Somali Peace Line, a local advocacy group. Shirwa cautioned, however, that "security in Mogadishu is still fragile. If
 the the Islamic leaders go around claiming that they are the victorious group, then we could see the return of the warlords."  Baldo, however, said the development did not necessarily mark the end of warlordism, partly because some of the Islamic court leaders have their own agendas. "Even the [faction leaders] who have been defeated still have forces and command clan loyalty," he said. "Therefore, it is not excluded that they may try to organise a comeback. Only when we have a broad-based effective government throughout Somalia [the end of warlordism] can happen."  The power of the Islamic Courts is not absolute in Mogadishu, however, with members of the Abgal sub-clan of the larger Hawiye group holding a rally in north Mogadishu on Tuesday, during which they declared that their community would not accept the authority of the courts. The protestors, numbering several hundred, chanted, "We will defend northern
 Mogadishu from any attack," and "We want our own Islamic courts," sources said. Defeated faction leaders Musa Sudi Yalahow and Bashir Raghe Shirar also insisted the anti-terrorism alliance was still strong.  The sources said hundreds of heavily militiamen allied to the Islamic courts had taken up defensive positions in the event that gunmen loyal to the faction leader who controls Jowhar, Mohamad Dheere, decided to launch a counter-attack on the capital. "Things appear to be taking a clannish dimension again," commented a member of a civil society organisation, who requested anonymity for security reasons. "The Abgal are complaining that they have lost land [to the Islamic court supporters of the Habr Gedir clan]," he told IRIN by telephone from Mogadishu. "They want to establish their own Islamic court independent of the other courts," he added, warning that the court leaders could fail if they chose to resolve this through force.  Baldo, however, said this was unlikely. "Much will depend on how they will go about this, if they try. But they are a very heterogenous group and have so far said this is not what they want to do."  Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) has called for talks with the Islamic court leaders to chart a way forward, but observers say this could prove difficult because President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed is perceived as having an anti-Islamist agenda. "The TFG had very little to say during the fighting," Baldo said. "It played safe and only congratulated the winner. By calling for talks, they have taken a wise decision, but it may be diff

[IslamCity] Somalia:Mogadishu is under control of Islamic Court Union who believe in Islamic Sharia

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Somali Citizen says Mogadishu captured      Muslims worldwide should support Islamic Court Union to bring peace in the region. (Labbayk Ya Mahdi)   "We want to restore peace and stability to Mogadishu. We are ready to meet and talk to anybody and any group for the interest of the
 people,"Sheikh Sheriff Ahmed said on a radio broadcast.        By MOHAMED OLAD HASSAN, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 1 minute ago MOGADISHU, Somalia - An Islamic militia said Monday it has seized Somalia's capital after weeks of some of the bloodiest fighting in 15 years of anarchy in this Horn of Africa nation. Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, chairman of the Islamic Courts Union, said his forces have fought off a secular alliance of warlords who have been trying to retain their grip on Somalia. The militia appeared in control of the capital, which was calm Monday.     "We want to restore peace and stability to Mogadishu. We are ready to meet and talk to anybody and any group for the interest of the people," Ahmed said on a
 radio broadcast.  Attempts to reach the alliance were not immediately successful; most leaders appeared to have fled the city by Monday afternoon.  The Islamic militias have made steady gains in recent days, seizing the alliance base of Balad on Sunday and enlisting former alliance commanders. Their growing power is raising fears that the nation could fall under the sway of al-Qaida, like      Afghanistan did under the Taliban.  The recent surge in violence started last month, killing more than 300 people and wounding 1,700, many of them civilians caught in the crossfire. The fundamentalists accuse their rivals of working for the CIA, while the alliance says the militias have links to al-Qaida.  The United States is widely believed to be backing the alliance but American officials have refused to confirm or deny that, saying only that they will support those who fight terrorism. The United States has carried out no direct military action in Somalia since a 1993 intervention resulted in the deaths of 18 servicemen.  Somalia has had no effective government since warlords overthrew longtime dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. They then turned on each other, carving this impoverished nation of an estimated 8 million people into rival fiefdoms.  A U.N.-backed interim government has failed to assert control from its base in Baidoa, 155 miles from Mogadishu.

[IslamCity] UN Nuclear Watchdog Agency "Iran not a Threat, the world shouldn't "jump the gun"

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Iran not a nuclear threat: ElBaradei MONTEREY, California (Reuters) -- Iran does not pose an immediate nuclear threat and the world must act cautiously to avoid repeating mistakes made with Iraq and North Korea, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog agency said on Tuesday.   Mohamed ElBaradei, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the world shouldn't "jump the gun" with erroneous information as he said the U.S.-led coalition did in Iraq in 2003, nor should it push the country into retaliation as international sanctions did in North Korea.   "Our assessment is that there is no immediate threat," the winner of the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize told a forum organized by the Monterey Institute of International Studies south of San Francisco.   "We still have
 lots of time to investigate."   "You look around in the Middle East right now and it's a total mess," he said.   "You can not add oil to that fire."   The recent violent history in Iraq bears an important lesson for diplomacy with neighboring Iran, the diplomat said.   "We should not jump the gun. We should be very careful about assessing the information available to us," he said.   The Bush administration led a coalition into Iraq in 2003 saying President Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction. No such weapons were found.   While it was unclear whether Iran ultimately intended to redirect its development of nuclear power into a weapons system, it was clear there was no danger of that right now, he said.   The five UN Security Council permanent powers and Germany, trying to curb Tehran's nuclear program, are planning to meet in Vienna on Thursday to try to finalize a package of incentives for Iran to halt uranium
 enrichment along with penalties if it keeps defying international pressure.   ElBaradei said he believed a majority in the Iranian leadership was still interested in a negotiated solution and normal relations with the world.   "It would be terrible" to try to strengthen sanctions, which could force Iran to retaliate, he said. "We have learned some lessons from North Korea," he said.   "When you push a country into a corner, you are giving the driver's seat to the hard-liners there."

[IslamCity] Toronto Mayor receives Open Letter from The Muslim Unity Group of Toronto

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

  "SFM" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Community - Letter to Mayor David Miller"TMS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "AlMahdi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Salamun Alaikum,     This letter is being sent by Br. Shokr of "Canadian Islamic Congress", on behalf of "The Muslim Unity" Group, Toronto.     FYI only.  ===  Mr. David MillerMayor of TorontoToronto City Hall, 2nd floor, 100 Queen St. WestToronto, ON M5H2N2Dear Mr. MillerI  am shocked by your decision to join the “Walk with Israel” on May 28th  2006.  I am struggling to understand the motivation behind
 this  decision.  Israel is a foreign country that does not have any  special standing with the Torontonians at large.  So, why do you have  to celebrate with it?  Israel is setting a worst example with  its open apartheid practice against the Palestinians (this has been  condemned repeatedly by world renowned peaceactivists such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu and academician such as Uri   Davis).  So, why do you have to rejoice about it?Israel  is NOT in danger as its supporters would like to make us believe.  In  fact it is the region's superpower!  It could roll up the West Bank in  36 hours according to Shoshana Bryen, an analyst for the Jewish  Institute for National Security Affairs, athink tank in Washington.  So, why do you have to defend it?Not  all the Jewish population in Toronto supports Israel because they see  it as the aggressor in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.  So, why do  you
 have to support it?Mr. Mayor: referring to some of your visions of Toronto, I just wonder: What  does your decision to support Israel have to do with “ensuring  Toronto’s place in the world”? What does it have to do with “supporting  the diversity of people in Toronto”?  What does it have to do with “getting Torontonians to know each other and use this knowledge to build strong and meaningful   relationships”? What does it have to do with “promoting interfaith dialogue and understanding among Torontonians”?Mr.  Mayor, I do not see that your decision to support Israel is fitting  within the mandate of your office or your vision to make Toronto a  great city.  I do not  see it appropriate that you “Walk with Israel”  as the Mayor of the city.  This is an obvious bias which creates more  friction than harmony among Torontonians.Finally, if you still  think that supporting Israel is the right thing to do, and if
 you want  to keep your promise (as you usually do) to stay closer to your people,  would you then be kind enough to accept an invitation, if issued in the  future, to join a “Walk  with the Palestinians”, which a group of Arabs are contemplating at this time?Mohammed Shokr  Member of The Muslim Unity Group

[IslamCity] Muslim World: Morocco - Women Islamic Preachers deployed for First Time

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Women preachers: Morocco's new weapon against Islamic extremism Fri Apr 28, 2:17 AM ET RABAT (AFP) - In a project unknown in Islam, Morocco has just graduated its first team of women preachers to be deployed as a vanguard in the kingdom's fight against any slide towards Islamic extremism.   ADVERTISEMENT  "This is a rare experiment in the Muslim world," proudly stated Mohamed Mahfoud, director of the center attached to the Islamic affairs ministry that trained this first class of 50 women.  Ministry spokesman Hamid Rono said it was the "first (of its kind) in the Islamic world".  This pioneer group of Morchidat, or guides, who finished a 12-month course in early April, were trained to "accompany and
 orient" Muslim faithful, notably in prisons, hospitals and schools, said Mahfoud.  They will earn a salary of 5,000 dirhams (450 euros, 560 dollars) per month.  Short and plump, a scarf knotted around her head to cover her hair in line with religious custom, a smiling Samira Marzouk, in her 30s like most of the others, exclaims how "proud" she is to be part of this first group.  She sees their mission as one to "fill in the gaps that prevent a solid framework for religion".  "We are going to teach a tolerant Islam by focussing on the underprivileged classes," she added. They will notably work with women and children in poor ghettoes seen as fertile ground for extremist recruiters.  The idea of the Morchidat, spearheaded by King Mohammed VI and the government, took off after Islamic extremist attacks in the Moroccan economic capital Casablanca on May 16, 2003 claimed 45 lives -- including the 12 bombers -- and left
 dozens of others wounded.  The King -- who is a descendant of Islam's founder, the Prophet Mohamed, and enjoys wide powers -- had already started reshaping religious structures to rein in any extremist drift in his North African country, which borders Algeria where violence between government forces and armed Islamic extremists has caused more than 150,000 deaths since 1992.  But the synchronized suicide bomb attacks that hit Jewish and foreign targets gave new urgency to the initiative.  More than 2,000 people were arrested in vast police sweeps after the May bombings as the king vowed the attacks would be the last to rock Morocco. Investigators concluded that those behind the incident had indeed sought recruits in the teeming slums around Casablanca, Morocco's biggest city.  Marzouk, a young married woman with a diploma in Arab literature who said she knows the Koran by heart, was quick to specify she is "not going to take the
 place of an imam".  "The imamate in Islam is restricted solely to men who are apt at leading prayers, notably those on Friday," the Islamic holy day, she said.  "The Morchidat will be in charge of leading religious discussions, give courses in Islam, give moral support to people in difficulty and guide the faithful towards a tolerant Islam," she added.  Another graduate, Leila Fares, a lively young woman who holds a degree in Islamic studies, said she saw the Morchidat's role as promoting "the true face of Islam".  "We will help attenuate any drift towards Islamic extremism," she said, stressing that "an overall approach is needed to dealing with radical Islam".  During the year-long course, the curriculum ranged from Islamic studies to psychology, sociology, computer skills, economy, law and business management.   "Sports was the only subject dropped from the women preachers' training because the schedule was
 just too tight," regretted Mahfoud, who hopes to include it for the second batch of Morchidate trainees, whose applications are now being accepted.   For the Islamic affairs minister, Ahmed Taoufiq, the Morchidat will also "instruct women on their basis religious duties".   He said religious radicalism was not part of Morocco's culture "but you can never prevent evil one hundred percent".   Morocco's Islamic fundamentalists are divided over the inititive.   For one, Islamist deputy Mustapha Ramid with the Islamist Justice and Development party (PJD), the main opposition group with 43 seats in the 325-member parliament, the Morchidat is a "positive" development.   "I see nothing more to say about this initiative because in Islam, men and women are equal," he said, pointing to Egypt which has "eminent women scholars of Islam".   But the head of the youth group in Morocco's most radical Islamic fundamentalist association, Al-Adl Wal-Ihssane
 (Justice and Welfare), forecast it would have no effect on the ground.   "The power behind this initiative is the same as the one that commits acts contrary to Islam, notably degrading moral values," said Hassan Bennajeh, whose group is part of an Islamist movement that preaches non-violence and is unrecognized by authorities but still influential.   "This initiative, then, will only have a limited impact on the population," said Hassan Bennajeh

[IslamCity] Iran Leader issues warning to Americans

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

   Iran leader issues warning to US  Ayatollah Khamenei says Iran will not heed US threats  US interests around the world will be harmed if America launches an attack against Iran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said.  "The Iranian nation will respond to any blow with double the intensity," he added,
 in comments reported on TV.   Iran has been reported to the UN Security Council, amid Western fears Iran is seeking atomic weapons.   The UN is seeking a diplomatic solution but the US has not ruled out military strikes against Iranian nuclear sites.   Addressing workers in Tehran on International Labourers' Day, Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran would not heed US "threats and intimidation".  "The Iranian nation and its officials are peace-seekers and the Islamic republic would not invade anybody," he added.  Calls for tough action  The Security Council demanded on 29 March that Iran comply with the demands of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for a "full and sustained suspension" of its uranium enrichment work.  The
 head of the IAEA, Mohammed ElBaradei, is expected to report back to the council at noon on 28 April.  On Wednesday, the head of Iran's nuclear agency met Mr ElBaradei for 11th-hour  talks before the Friday meeting.  Vice-President Gholam Reza Aghazadeh, accompanied by deputy Mohammed Saidi and Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's ambassador to the IAEA, made no comment as they entered IAEA headquarters in Vienna.  No details of the meeting have been released as yet.  The US is trying to rally support from the Security Council for tougher action against Iran, including sanctions - a move currently being resisted by Russia and China.  Iran insists its nuclear programme is for civilian energy purposes only.   Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that Iran's "enemies"
 would not be able to use the Security Council and the IAEA to punish Iran.  "The illegitimate and right-nullifying decision could not get legitimacy under cover of council and the agency," he said, according to a state TV broadcast.

 21, CCAR traditionally holds some kind of public event in order to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Racism. This year, the CCAR Executive has decided to co-sponsor and publicize a forum against racism, which has been organized by the November 16 Coalition. The subject of the forum is the pernicious attack on Muslims being waged all over the globe and right here in Hamilton. The form of that attack here in Hamilton is called racial profiling. In other places around the globe, the attack takes the form of wars, and occupations, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children.      I urge you to attend the forum and hear the very learned speakers describe the ways in which we can resist this racist
 attack.      In solidarity,     Ken Stone,  Chair,  Community Coalition Against Racism  www.ccarhamilton.ca        The War on Islam  From the Crusades to Shock and Awe      Presenting:  Zafar Bangash  Director of the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought  Joined by International Human Rights lawyer David Jacobs     While the West claims to be waging a civilized war for “democracy,” millions of Muslims in America and Europe live in fear of arbitrary detention or worse. Meanwhile, the U.S. bombs Iraq and Afghanistan, killing more than 250,000
 civilians. Now the war drums beat for Iran. Only you can make it stop. McMaster Medical Centre, Ewart Angus Centre 1A6 [HS1A6]  (rear of hospital, purple section)Thursday, March 16, 7:30 PM  Free Admission – Donations Accepted

[IslamCity] Somalia: while Muslims waiting for approval from US, Christian doing its job many belived became Christians

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Somalia - Church Project Improves Access to Basic Education  Many poor and hungry Somali beleived to have converted to Christianity.'  Christians are strongly active through christianising Somalia. From Ethiopia and Kenyan Boarders also.     Muslim states and neighbouring Khadimul Haramain Saudi Arabia waiting for approval from US    (Labbayk Ya Mahdi)    Catholic Information Service for Africa (Nairobi)  February 23, 2006 Posted to the web February 23, 2006 The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is helping people gain improved access to quality education by building new schools, training teachers, and providing supplies and scholarships for teachers and students.  The Basic
 Education Development (BED) project is being implemented in 21 community schools: 16 in the Nugal region and five in the Hiran region. It was launched in November 2004.  The BED project consists primarily of two components: basic education for children, with an emphasis on improved access for girls and functional adult literacy for women.  The project has benefited 6,746 children and 723 adults.  "ADRA has really changed my life," said 14-year-old Maryan Hassan Mohamed, a student at the Jalalaqsi Primary School in the Hiran region of Somalia. Maryan lost a leg to a gunshot early in her childhood during Somalia's civil war. For many years, Maryan was unable to go to school because the closest school was too far from her house.  The project is funded
 by the European Union (EU) in partnership with the ADRA offices in Germany and Somalia.  ADRA has been operating in Somalia since 1992 and has managed over 50 projects funded by different donors in eight sectors, namely: water, primary health care, education, food security, infrastructure, institutional capacity building, micro-enterprise development, and emergency response interventions.

[IslamCity] Somalia starving under heavy pressure of American anti Islamic Court

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Somalia starving under heavy pressure of American's anti Islamic court  US in New Policy On Somalia As Pirates Threaten Indian Ocean  The East African (Nairobi)  February 21, 2006 Posted to the web February 21, 2006   Abdulkadir KhalifNairobi   Relatives of 10 alleged Somali pirates have said that the suspects were innocent fishermen.  The men in question were captured by US naval soldiers who came to rescue MV Safinat Al-Basarat, an Indian boat, which
 together with its 16 crew members, was allegedly being highjacked by the Somalis.  "Our sons and brothers were not hooded men committing sinfu! l acts. They were on a fishing trip in Somalia's territorial waters," claimed a man interviewed by a local FM Radio station.  "Foreigners have no right to apprehend people who venture into the ocean to feed their families through humble fishing activities," added another relative.  The 10 Somalis were reportedly captured while on board MV Safinat Al-Basarat. They were airlifted to Mombasa harbour and held in custody by the Kenyan police.  The legality of how to try them in court has been causing acrimony. The prosecutors in Kenya say that the pirates can be tried anywhere in the world, including Kenya, because of the international nature of the charges against them. The defence, however, insist that Kenya is not equipped to try
 suspects of piracy.   Somalia: Thousands Displaced As Mogadishu Clashes Continue Email This Page Print This Page  
   UN Integrated Regional Information Networks   February 21, 2006 Posted to the web February 21, 2006   Nairobi   Thousands of people have fled the northern and northeastern suburbs of the Somali capital, Mogadishu, since clashes between militia groups started over the weekend, a to! p city official said.  An estimated 1,500 families had been displaced by the continuing clashes, Mogadishu Mayor, Ibrahim Omar Shaaweye, told IRIN on Tuesday.  Some 25 people had been killed and 150 wounded, he added.  "There was a flood of people pouring out of the Dayniile and Gubta areas [in north and northeastern Mogadishu and the epicenter of the fighting] this morning [Tuesday], looking for safety," the mayor said.  "Almost all the dead and wounded were civilians," said a hospital worker.  "Many of them, women and children," he added. "The casualty figures are expected to go higher once the fighting stops, yet we
 still have no figures of the dead for the fighting groups."  The conflict, which started on Saturday, pits armed militias who are reportedly loyal to a new alliance of faction leaders against those of! the Islamic courts.  The newly created coalition - the Alliance for Peace and Fight Against International Terrorism - comprises several Mogadishu-based faction leaders. Its members include, among others, Muhammad Qanyare Afrah, Muse Sudi Yalahow, Omar Finnish, Bashir Raghe and Abdirashid Shire Ilqeyte.  Shaaweye told IRIN by telephone that the fighting on Tuesday was "less intense" than the previous day, but "shells were landing in a number of places".  A few businesses had reopened, and there were some buses on the road. Schools had not reopened due to the uncertainty of the situation, he said.  He added elders and civil society groups were
 speaking with both sides and trying to reach a ceasefire. "I am hopeful that within the next few hours we will have a permanent truce," the Mayor said.  However, Hassan Ade, a local resident, said city ! dwellers were bracing themselves for a continuation of the fighting. "Both sides are reportedly receiving reinforcements and have been buying ammunition in the market, so everyone expects the fighting to intensify."  The violence erupted when armed militias reportedly loyal to Mogadishu militia leader, Abdi Nure Siyad, also known as "Abdi Wal", attacked those loyal to Islamic courts located in a former military academy south of city. Siyad denied starting the violence.  Witnesses said militiamen had used rocket-propelled grenades, heavy machineguns, small caliber guns and
 mortar shells.  [ This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations ]There is an overwhelming consensus tha! t the Somalis could be tried in Kenya, the country nearest the crime scene or in India where the ship and crew belong. Others suggest that the suspected pirates could be tried at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba by the American legal system because US soldiers reportedly apprehended them.  Somalis have been following the events with keen interest.  "I have never heard of an operation as swift as this with pirates captured within hours of a distress signal being sent out, then quickly airlifted to Kenya with a quick arrangement of a trial," Hassan Hussein Weli, a resident of Karan district in Mogadishu observed.  But many Somalis wonder why there are so few details released
 about the boat. Who owned it? Where was it registered? What was 

[IslamCity] Not for America - UN's order and Security Council is only for Third World and Muslim Countries

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Not for America and Israel - United Nation and Security Council is only made for Third World and Muslim Countries . Americans, Europe and Israel has not to obey.     US Rumsfeld rejects UN order to close Guantanamo Prison     Close Guantanamo prison: UN  Feb. 16, 2006. 06:39 PM  BETH GORHAM  CANADIAN PRESS  WASHINGTON — The White House on Thursday rejected a scathing United Nations report that says the United States should shut down its prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and either release or put all the detainees on trial. Only a handful have appeared before military tribunals, including Omar Khadr, the only Canadian held there.   The 54-page report (.pdf) blasts the “arbitrary detention” of some 500 suspected terrorists, while taking aim at the special military tribunal system, saying the U.S. government “operates as judge, prosecutor and defence counsel.”   Secretary General Kofi Annan backed the report, saying Washington should close the prison as soon as possible.   “I think sooner or later there will be a need to close the Guantanamo (camp), and I think it will be up to the government to decide, and hopefully to do it as soon as is possible,” Annan said.   White House spokesman Scott McClellan dismissed the report, by five human rights experts and 18 months in the making, as a ``rehash” of allegations from lawyers for some of the detainees.   “We know that these are dangerous terrorists,” he said. “They are trained to provide false information.”   But a lawyer for Khadr, 19, said the report provides
 an opportunity for Canada to take a stand.   “My hope is that Canada will now feel it can join the rest of the international community in speaking out to condemn Guantanamo and the military tribunals,” said Muneer Ahmad.   “The White House has backed itself into a corner. What’s more interesting to me is what Canada now does. This strengthens their hand in protecting one of their own citizens.”   McClellan was also critical of the fact that the experts didn’t visit Guantanamo. They refused an invitation after they were told they couldn’t talk to detainees.   “The United Nations should be making serious investigations across the world . . . This was not one of them,” he said.   “It’s a discredit to the UN when a team like this goes about rushing to report something when they haven’t even looked into the facts. All they have done is look at the allegations.”   But Barbara Olshansky, at the New York-based Center for Consitutional Rights which represents
 hundreds of the men, said the significance of the report can’t be overstated.   “(It) confirms what the centre has been saying for a long time . . . that these people have been denied all due process and been held without recourse to any court to hear a challenge to their detention and that they have been tortured and mistreated.”   Only a handful of prisoners, including Khadr have been formally charged and have made appearances at hearings on the American naval base at the southeast tip of Cuba since the camp opened in early 2002.   Charged with murdering an American medic in a grenade attack and aiding Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Khadr was captured in 2002 and sent to Guantanamo thay October, just after he turned 16.   He attended a pre-trial hearing last month where he asked for a different military lawyer. He also wants a Canadian to join his defence team.   His case is being closely monitored by international human rights groups upset about torture
 allegations and Khadr’s juvenile status at the time of the alleged offences.   He was charged last November as an “unprivileged belligerent,” meaning the U.S. doesn’t consider him legally eligible to wage war.   The UN report said photos and testimony from former Guantanamo prisoners revealed many were shackled, chained, hooded and beaten. The use of prolonged isolation, dogs, extreme temperatures and sleep deprivation amounts to torture, said the experts.   The prisoners “are entitled to challenge the legality of their detention before a judicial body,” they said in a statement, “and to obtain release if detention is found to lack a proper legal basis.”   The findings were based on interviews, public documents, media reports, lawyers and a questionnaire filled out by the U.S. government.   Ahmad says Khadr has been kept in solitary confinement during much of his time at Guantanamo and was repeatedly tortured. The teenager also participated in hunger strikes
 where inmates were force-fed.   He was critical of McLellan’s sweeping reference to all of the prisoners as terrorists.   The U.S. military has released 187 prisoners outright in the last four years, with another 80 transferred to the governments of their home countries.   “They’re all terrorists except for the ones who are entirely innocent of everything,” said Ahmad.   The five investigators were appointed by the UN Human Rights Commission. They worked independently and were not paid, although their expenses were covered by the UN.      Al Mahdi Un

[IslamCity] UN orders "World's Human Rights Dog" Americans to Close Guantanamo prison

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

   United Nation released report on the So Called World's Human Rights Dog treat Human beings in inhuman way     Americans have been running the World's barbarique prisons through out the world     UN: Close down Guantanamo prison  Friday 17 February 2006, 0:08 Makka Time, 21:08 GMT      The US is holding 490 men at the detention centre Related:  Ex-captives push Guantanamo film  UN report damns Guantanamo jail  Afghans released from Guantanamo  Amnesty calls for Guantanamo closure   UN team scraps Guantanamo visit   Doctors question
 Guantanamo ethicsThe US should bring all prisoners being held in Guantanamo Bay to an independent trial or release them, the United Nations has said in a report.  The 54-page report, summarising an investigation by five UN experts, on Thursday called on the US government "to close down the Guantanamo Bay detention centre and to refrain from any practice amounting to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment."   For his part,
 Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general, said on Thursday the US should close prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as soon as possible.  Annan said he didn't necessarily agree with everything in the report but he did support its opposition to people being held in perpetuity without being charged and giving a chance to explain themselves in a court.  "I think sooner or later there will be a need to close the Guantanamo, and I think it will be up to the government to decide, and hopefully to do it as soon as is possible," the UN chief said.  But the US ambassador to UN offices in Geneva, Kevin Moley, responded that the investigation had taken little account of evidence provided by the United States, and that the five UN experts rejected an invitation to visit Guantanamo.   In a response that was included at the end of the report, Moley said: "It is particularly
 unfortunate that the special rapporteurs rejected the invitation and that their unedited report does not reflect the direct, personal knowledge that this visit would have provided."    A preliminary version of the report was leaked earlier this week before it included the US comment.   The US is currently holding about 490 men at the US military detention centre on the southeastern tip of Cuba.   Taliban-al-Qaida links  The detainees are accused of having links to Afghanistan's ousted Taliban government or al-Qaida, though only a handful have been charged since the mission opened in January 2001.  The White House on Thursday rejected the recommendation to shut the prison camp, saying the document was a discredit to the organisation.  "These are dangerous
 terrorists that we're talking about that are there," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.  The spokesman dismissed the UN report as "a rehash" of allegations that have been made previously by lawyers for some Guantanamo detainees, saying the military treats all detainees humanely.  False allegations  "We know that al-Qaida terrorists are trained in trying to disseminate false allegations," McClellan said.  He said the UN makes many serious investigations of human rights abuse but "this was not one of them.There have been many
 protestsagainst Guantanamo detentions   The five UN experts who authored the report had sought invitations from the US to visit Guantanamo Bay since 2002. Three were invited last year, but refused in November after being told they could not interview detainees.   Only the International Committee of the Red Cross has been allowed to visit Guantanamo's detainees, but the organisation keeps its findings confidential, reporting them solely to the detaining power. Some reports have been leaked by what the organisation calls third parties.   The UN report's findings, which were being made public, were based on interviews with former detainees, public documents, media reports, lawyers and a questionnaire filled out by the US government.   Use of violence  The treatment of detainees
 during transport and the use of violence when they resisted amounted to torture, the UN report said.  Although the investigators did not visit Guantanamo, they said photographic evidence - corroborated by testimony of former prisoners - showed that detainees were shackled, chained, hooded and forced to wear earphones and goggles.   They said prisoners were beaten, stripped and force shaved if they resisted. "Such treatment amounts to torture, as it inflicts severe pain or suffering on the victims for the purpose of intimidation and/or punishment"UN report   The report said: "Such

[IslamCity] Canadian Magazine publisher has no sympathy over Canadian Muslims

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Legal redress sought over cartoons  Tuesday 14 February 2006, 4:55 Makka Time, 1:55 GMT      Cartoons of Prophet Muhammad sparked worldwide protests Related:  EU envoy seeks to calm cartoon row  Iran paper launches cartoon challenge  Cartoon crisis not easing  Danish diplomats leave three countries   
  A Canadian magazine is reprinting Danish cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad, prompting Muslim groups to press for hate-crime charges against the publication. The Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, based in Calgary, said on Monday it filed a complaint against the Western Standard, a right-wing weekly newsmagazine that is reprinting eight of the 12 cartoons.   The cartoons have sparked protests around the world and riots in some Muslim countries.   Syed Soharwardy, president of the council, said his group has not seen the magazine's latest edition but would try to have Calgary police investigate the Western Standard for hate crimes.  
 "This is a provocation of Canadians and an insult to our religion," he said.   "We are convinced that within the boundaries of Canada there is a way that we can prosecute these people. The whole Muslim community is seriously looking into this and consulting with lawyers."   Grounds for prosecutionCanadian law prohibits the wilful incitement of hatred towards any identifiable group, based on ethnicity, region or sexual orientation.   While the cartoons have been reprinted by several European newspapers, no major Canadian newspaper has run the series."This is a provocation of Canadians and an insult
 to our religion"  Syed Soharwardy, Islamic Supreme Council of CanadaOne of the cartoons was reprinted by Le Devoir in Montreal. A University of Prince Edward Island student newspaper printed the cartoons but copies were ordered off the campus.   The Globe and Mail, published in Toronto, said on Saturday that running the cartoons "would be both gratuitous and unnecessarily provocative".   Ezra Levant, publisher of the Western Standard told CBC television the magazine decided to publish the cartoons because it considered them newsworthy.   "We're not publishing them for their editorial merits," he said.  "They're boring cartoons. They're bland. They're not interesting. We're not running them because we share their views. We're running them
 because they're the central fact that caused Muslim radicals around the world to riot."  Annan commentsMeanwhile, Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general, has said Iran, Syria and other governments that failed to protect foreign embassies from mobs protesting over the cartoons should pay for the damage. In Lebanon, protesters torched the Danish consulate "The government has a responsibility to prevent these things from happening. They should have stopped it, not just in Syria or Iran but all around," Annan said.   "Not having stopped it, I
 hope they will pick up the bill for the destruction," he told CNN. "They should be prepared to pay for the damage done to Danish, Norwegian and the other embassies concerned."   Danish facilities have been singled out for attacks, including diplomatic missions in Syria, Lebanon and Iran.   Iranian Holocaust competitionIn Iran, a Brazilian has become the first person to enter a newspaper contest for cartoons on the Holocaust."We don't intend retaliation over the drawings of the prophet. We just want to show that freedom is restricted in the West" Davood Kazemi, Hamshahri newspaperThe contest was devised by Hamshahri, one of Iran's five leading newspapers. The newspaper said its contest was a test of the Western world's readiness to print cartoons about the Nazi slaughter of six million Jews in the second world war.   The first entry depicts a man, smoking a cigarette and wearing a prison uniform, with a wall and guard tower in the background.   The man, with a moustache and several days growth of beard, is wearing a white keffiyeh and has his right hand over his forehead and eyes.   On his chest is a red crescent with a letter "P". Below
 is the number 7256, the significance of which was not immediately clear, although Israel is said to be holding about 8000 Palestinian prisoners.   Davood Kazemi, executive manager of the contest and cartoon editor at the paper, said: "We don't intend retaliation over the drawings of the prophet. We just want to show that freedom is restricted in the West."

[IslamCity] "We must show our opposition to Islam", says Danish queen by Hannah Cleaver

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

    Monday 13 February 2006     SPECIAL REPORTSAbout usContact us  We must show our opposition to Islam, says Danish queenBy Hannah Cleaver in Berlin(Filed: 15/04/2005)  Queen Margrethe II
 of Denmark has called on the country "to show our opposition to Islam", regardless of the opprobium such a stance provokes abroad.  Her comments further undermined the image of Denmark as a liberal haven for those seeking a new life in northern Europe.   Queen Margrethe II  The Danish government has already been accused of fuelling xenophobia by introducing measures which effectively closed the country to asylum seekers.  But in overtly political passages from an official biography published yesterday Queen Margrethe
 makes comments certain to complicate her nation's relationship with Muslims.  She said: "We are being challenged by Islam these years - globally as well as locally. It is a challenge we have to take seriously. We have let this issue float about for too long because we are tolerant and lazy.  "We have to show our opposition to Islam and we have to, at times, run the risk of having unflattering labels placed on us because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance."  "And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction."   The Queen, who turns 65 tomorrow and has reigned since 1972, wields no political power but does occasionally comment on political issues.  Denmark has seriously limited immigration in the past three years and the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party, an ally of the centre-Right government, has
 pushed through laws making it harder to bring in foreign spouses or qualify for asylum.  The queen told her biographer, Annelise Bistrup, apparently referring to Muslim fundamentalists: "There is something impressive about people for whom religion imbues their existence, from dusk to dawn, from cradle to grave."   She said she understood how disaffected young Muslims might find refuge in religion. This tendency should be fought by encouraging Muslims to learn Danish so they could integrate better, she said."We should not be content with living next to each other. We should rather live together."© Copyright of Telegraph Group Limited 2006. Terms & Conditions of reading.  Al Mahdi Unite Muslims

[IslamCity] Americans reportedly planning to bomb Islamic Republic of Iran

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Monday 13th February, 2006U.S. reportedly planning to bomb Iran    Big News Network.com Sunday 12th February, 2006The U.S. military is drawing up plans for a devastating bombing campaign against Iran's nuclear sites.Senior Pentagon advisers have reportedly told London's Sunday Telegraph, the plans call for devastating bombing raids backed by submarine-launched ballistic missile attacks. The plans are a "last resort" in case Tehran pushes ahead with plans to develop nuclear capability and diplomacy failts. (Iran has repeatedly said it is only interested in pursuing nuclear energy and has no plans to develop nuclear
 weapons). According to the Sunday Telegraph, Central Command and Strategic Command planners are identifying targets, assessing weapon-loads and working on logistics for the operation. They are reporting to the office of Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary, as America updates plans for action if the diplomatic offensive fails. "This is more than just the standard military contingency assessment," said a senior Pentagon adviser. "This has taken on much greater urgency in recent months."The prospect of military action could put Washington at odds with Britain which fears that an attack would spark violence across the Middle East, reprisals in the West and may not cripple Teheran's nuclear programme, said the Telegraph report. But the steady flow of disclosures about Iran's secret nuclear operations and the virulent anti-Israeli threats of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has prompted the fresh assessment of military options by Washington. The most likely
 strategy would involve aerial bombardment by long-distance B2 bombers, each armed with up to 40,000lb of precision weapons, including the latest bunker-busting devices. They would fly from bases in Missouri with mid-air refuelling.The Bush administration has recently announced plans to add conventional ballistic missiles to the armoury of its nuclear Trident submarines within the next two years. If ready in time, they would also form part of the plan of attack.Teheran has dispersed its nuclear plants, burying some deep underground, and has recently increased its air defences, but Pentagon planners believe that the raids could seriously set back Iran's nuclear programme. Iran was last weekend reported to the United Nations Security Council by the International Atomic Energy Agency for its banned nuclear activities. Teheran reacted by announcing that it would resume full-scale uranium enrichment - producing material that could arm nuclear devices.The
 White House says that it wants a diplomatic solution to the stand-off, but President George W Bush has refused to rule out military action and reaffirmed last weekend that Iran's nuclear ambitions "will not be tolerated".Sen John McCain, the Republican front-runner to succeed Mr Bush in 2008, has advocated military strikes as a last resort. He said recently: "There is only only one thing worse than the United States exercising a military option and that is a nuclear-armed Iran."Senator Joe Lieberman, a Democrat, has made the same case and Mr Bush is expected to be faced by the decision within two years.By then, Iran will be close to acquiring the knowledge to make an atomic bomb, although the construction will take longer. The President will not want to be seen as leaving the White House having allowed Iran's ayatollahs to go atomic.In Teheran yesterday, crowds celebrating the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution chanted "Nuclear technology is
 our inalienable right" and cheered Mr Ahmadinejad when he said that Iran may reconsider membership of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.He was defiant over possible economic sanctions, said the Sunday Telegraph. Al-Mahdi Unite Muslims

[IslamCity] 17 Arab Countries Call Danish to punishment ---Labbayk Ya Nabi Muhammed

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

17 Arab countries call Danish government to punishment   Also other European Country must apologize  First page / World02/03/2006 11:37  Source:      Interior ministers from 17 Arab countries have issued a joint statement calling on the government of Denmark "to take the necessary measures to punish those responsible." United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan was officially "concerned." Governments from Pakistan to Syria have demanded apologies not just from Denmark but France, Germany, Norway and other Western European governments.DenmarkBREAKING NEWS  Egyptian ferry sinks in Red Sea, killing over 1,000
 passengers  Iran: Case study for diplomacy  Saddam trial falls into chaos soon after
 resumptionVirtual autopsy of Egyptian mummyMore...What human rights atrocity has so inflamed their sense of outrage? A Danish newspaper published cartoons. Last September.The daily Jyllands-Posten's cartoons, which have since been reprinted in free-speech solidarity by publications in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Switzerland, not only broke the Koran's strictures against depicting the prophet Muhammad, but one added insult to blasphemy by drawing his turban in the shape of a bomb.  The cartoons are undeniably offensive to Muslims. Yet the overreaction by opportunistic, authoritarian governments and backpedaling European officials has been deeply disappointing.  Islamic tradition considers any depiction of Muhammad blasphemous. Angry and violent reaction to the cartoons' publication was predictable from radical Islamists, who will seize upon almost any reason to rail against the West.
 Armed fanatics in the West Bank and Gaza, for example, stormed European Union offices, kidnapped at least one German (he was later released) and went hunting for Danes, French, Germans and Norwegians at four hotels. The leader of Lebanon's governing Hezbollah faction said this all could have been avoided if only novelist Salman Rushdie had been murdered. Hundreds of students in Pakistan chanted "Death to France" and "Death to Denmark."  What's most disheartening is the response from governments in the Middle East and Europe. The former have seized on the opportunity to direct their citizens' considerable anger toward the West. Some European leaders, meanwhile, perhaps overcompensating for government policies widely seen as harmful to Muslim immigrants, are apologizing for one of the core freedoms of a democratic society.  Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who for months maintained a sensible position,
 that a private newspaper's editorial judgment is not the government's business, is now walking around issuing letters of regret. Norway's deputy foreign minister, Raymond Johansen, traveled to Lebanon to deliver an official apology.   Such sentiments foster the dangerous notion that governments are responsible for, and answerable to, their countries' private media. And it judges all news content, satirical or otherwise, by the standard of how much offense it gives, a surefire path toward self-censorship, reports Los Angeles Times.  ___  A Danish newspaper has published offensive cartoon images depicting Allah’s Beloved Messenger as a terrorist. Other publications in France and Italy have reprinted these, all claiming the argument of free speech. Muslims do nor fear debate. We are ready to hear and respond to
 criticism. But we will not remain silent over a blatant insult to our Prophet. Muslims have been killed in the War on Terror imprisoned in the War on Terror, and the name of our deen slandered in the War on Terror. Qurans have been desecrated in the War on Terror, and now our Prophet’s Noble image has been tarnished by this War on Terror. Thos War on Terror and now our Prophets Noble image has been tarnished by this War on Terror. This War on Terror was said to bring freedom of speech and _expression_ to places like Iraq and Afghanistan. If this means it will bring insults, slander, lies and disrespect to Muslim lands, to create a society where rudeness is celebrated, manners are lacking and lies are cheap, then it is not cause that will ever win over Muslims or other decent people. The Noble Prophet once said:“None of you truly believes until I become more beloved to him than his family wealth and all the
 people.”Do not Remain Silent! Use Your Voice to Prove Your Love!Join the Demonstration outside the Danish Embassy11 am Saturday 4th February 200655 Sloane Street, London SW1X 9SR (Nearest tube station Knightsbridge)Organized by Hizb ut-Tahrir and supported by IHRC, MAB,

[IslamCity] To Support Palestinians Right Int. Conference by Islamic Republic of Iran

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

Tehran to host int'l conference on al-Qods and support for rights of Palestinians   Tehran, Jan 30, IRNA Iran-Palestine-Conference International Conference on al-Qods and support for the rights of Palestinians is to be held in Tehran April 14-12, it was announced here Monday.   Heads of states, parliament speakers from world countries along with scholars, scientists, researchers, representatives of NGO's, advocates of human rights as well as representatives of Palestinian
 organizations and movements are to attend in the three-day long international confab to examine the current situation and ways to support the cause of al-Qods and restoration of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people especially the right of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland and ensure their right to self-determination.   The International conference is to be held with collective cooperation of Majlis and other domestic organizations.   Hojjatoleslam Ali Akbar Mohtashami is the Secretarial of the International conference on al-Qods and support for the rights of Palestinian people.   The conference is to study the continued terrorist acts of the Zionist regime in the occupied Palestine including racist act of building a barrier in the West Bank and sealing off the Gaza Strip as well as continuation of the illegal construction of Jewish settlements along with military besiege of Palestinian cities and villages and arrest of
 innocent people.   At the same time Judaization of Holy Qods by such means as expelling its original inhabitants and extensive building of Jewish settlement around the Holy Shrine, changing geography and demography this historical city, as well as continuation of illegitimate excavations beneath the Holy Mosque with the purpose of destroying its mosque and to replace it with the claimed Temple all implicate that the Zionist regime disregarding the international regulations and UN resolutions is committing the act of sacrilege against Islamic and Christian sanctities.   The main subjects of the conference are as follows: 1. The latest developments in the Question of Palestine: - The international framework of the present developments in Palestine.   - The US plans including the "Road Map" and its fate.   - Position of Palestine in the Greater Middle East Plan.   - Developments in the territories occupied in 1967.  
 - West Bank, the barrier and continuation of the construction of Jewish settlements.   - Gaza Strip after withdrawal of Israeli troops.   - Intifada and popular resistance.   - Situation of the Palestinian Authority and its relations with other resistance organizations.   - Ways to support the resistance.   2. Situation of the Holy Mosque: - The plot to destruct the Holy Mosque and the claim to reconstruct the Jewish temple.   - Illegitimate excavations of the Zionist regime beneath the Holy Mosque.   - Importance of the Western wall (al-Buraq wall or Wailing Wall).   - Recent excavations and the plan to construct a new temple beneath the Holy Mosque.   - Suggested ways to protect the Holy Mosque.   3. Situation of the Holy Qods: - Different dimensions of the plan for Judaization of Qods.   a. Demographic changes.   b. Geographical changes.
   - Expansion of the Holy Qods limits in its east and north.   - Construction of Jewish settlements around al-Qods.   - Situation of Christians and Christian sanctities in al-Qods.   - The plans to confront the "Judaization plan".   4. Situation of Palestinian refugees: - Conditions of the Palestinians in diaspora.   - Civil, legal, educational and human conditions of the Palestinians refugees.   - Right of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland nd stipulated in the resolution 194 of the Security Council.   - Resolution 1559 and the plan to disarm Palestinians living in the refugee camps in southern Lebanon.   - Proposed mechanism for exercising the rights of the Palestinian nation.   The secretariat of the conference has called all scholars and researchers to send their relevant articles to the office mostly within March 10.   The call for
 paper reads that hegemonic strategy of Zionism in every field in the world, including the Middle East, and expansionist and illegitimate actions of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories are seriously threatening and endangering the most important and vital question of the Islamic world namely the cause of Palestine.   Therefore if no effective measures is taken by the Islamic and Arab world and the international organizations to stop this unjust trend, it is feared that in the future the Zionist regime will present the open-minded people of our world with illegitimate and inhuman realities which may not be corrected or changed, concluded the call for paper.

[Labbayk YaMahdi]

  Iranian President: Seeking tranquility and sustainable peace12/16/2005 16:38  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blasts belligerence of "some countries"President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered a speech on Thursday, 15th December to thousands of University students in Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province in the south-east of Iran, in which he criticized countries which stockpile weapons, for whom ethics has no place in policy.  "Today mankind is in search of tranquility and sustainable peace, which could be materialized only through justice, spirituality, and monotheism," he declared, adding that "some countries" have built up stockpiles of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons in order to hold down other nations and justify their acts of testing the chemical weapons on people by claiming that ethics has no place in policy.  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that the people in Western Europe and the USA are "disillusioned" because they do not believe their governments can provide sustainable peace.Discuss this article on Pravda.Ru English ForumTimothy Bancroft-Hinchey
