[media-dakwah] Saddam Hussein sentenced to hang
http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Saddam Hussein sentenced to hang Monday 06 November 2006, 0:10 Makka Time, 21:10 GMT Saddam Hussein, the former president of Iraq, has been sentenced to death by a Baghdad court after being found guilty of crimes against humanity. When the judge announced the sentence, Saddam appeared shaken. However he soon recovered and shouted: Allahu Akbar! [God is greatest] and Long live the nation! Saddam was found guilty by the Iraqi High Tribunal for ordering the killing of 148 Shia civilians in the town of Dujail in 1982. The court said that he and his fellow defendants had ordered the villagers' murder after members of Dawa, a Shia political party, tried to kill Saddam in Dujail in 1982. Saddam's sentence will be automatically appealed and reviewed by a panel of appeal judges, who will decide whether or not to allow a retrial. If the judgement stands, however, Saddam must be executed within 30 days of the appeals panel delivering its verdict, which has to be ratified by Jalal Talibani, the Iraqi president. Saddam, 69, said that he wants to be executed by firing squad. However Iraqi law states that he will be executed by hanging. Saddam was the president of Iraq from 1979 to 2003, when his Sunni- dominated government was deposed by a US-led invasion. Eleven-month trial Barzan al-Tikriti, Saddam's half-brother and the former head of the Iraqi secret police, and Awad Hamed Al-Bander, Saddam's chief judge, were also sentenced to death by hanging. Saddam's 11-month trial was marked by theatrics by both his defence council and by Saddam and his seven co-defendants. Taha Yassin Ramdan, the former Iraqi vice president, was sentenced to life in prison. The court also sentenced three of Saddam's co-defendants to 15 years in prison for their part in the Dujail killing and acquitted one minor Baath party official. Ramsey Clark, Saddam's most outspoken American defender and a former US attorney general, was thrown out of the trial on Sunday and accused of insulting the people of Iraq. Clark, a member of Saddam's defence team and a strident critic of the conduct of his trial, attended the start of the session but was ejected before Saddam was sentenced to death. Raud Abdel Rahman, the judge, said: Get him out of the hall. He came from America to ridicule the Iraqi people and ridicule the court. Support and condemnation Baghdad had been placed under a strict curfew in an attempt to halt violence following the verdict. But despite the curfews, Shias gathered in Baghdad's Sadr City district to celebrate. Around 1,000 people marched, waved flags, denounced Saddam and hailed the Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. Deliver him to us, we'll execute him ourselves, shouted the crowd. Thousand of Saddam's supporters, some of them firing wildly into the air, marched through his hometown of Tikrit, north of Baghdad. With our souls and our blood we redeem you, Saddam. Death to traitors and spies. Damn Bush and his agents. Yes, yes to the resistance. No option but to get rid of the occupier, chanted the crowd. The Iraqi government also closed two Sunni television stations, accusing them of inciting violence after the verdict. Abdel Karim Khalaf, an interior ministry spokesman, said: We accept debates on any subject, but we do not tolerate television reports that encourage murder and violence. source: http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/65DF985E-2A01-461E-9B78-68580F11073E.htm === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

[media-dakwah] 9/11 : U.S. says terror suspect shouldn't talk to civilian lawyer
http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === 9/11 : U.S. says terror suspect shouldn't talk to civilian lawyer By Associated Press 11/05/06 WASHINGTON (AP) — A suspected terrorist who spent years in a secret CIA prison should not be allowed to speak to a civilian attorney, the Bush administration argues, because he could reveal the agency's closely guarded interrogation techniques. Human rights groups have questioned the CIA's methods for questioning suspects, especially following the passage of a bill last month that authorized the use of harsh — but undefined — interrogation tactics. In recently filed court documents, the Justice Department said those methods, along with the locations of the CIA's network of prisons, are among the nation's most sensitive secrets. Prisoners who spent time in those prisons should not be allowed to disclose that information, even to a lawyer, the government said. Improper disclosure of other operational details, such as interrogation methods, could also enable terrorist organizations and operatives to adapt their training to counter such methods, thereby obstructing the CIA's ability to obtain vital intelligence that could disrupt future planned terrorist attacks, the Justice Department wrote. The documents, which were first reported by The Washington Post, were filed in opposition to a request that terror suspect Majid Khan should be given access to an attorney. Khan, 26, immigrated from Pakistan and graduated high school in Maryland. According to documents filed on his behalf by the Center for Constitutional Rights, Khan was arrested in Pakistan in 2003. During more than three years in CIA custody, Khan was subjected to interrogation techniques that defense attorneys suggest amounted to torture. President Bush acknowledged the existence of the CIA system in September and transferred Khan and 13 other prisoners designated as terrorist leaders to the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Under a law passed last month, they are to be tried before special military commissions and may not have access to civilian courts. The Center for Constitutional Rights is among several advocacy groups challenging that law. They say the Constitution guarantees prisoners a right to challenge their detention. The Justice Department argues that civilian courts no longer have jurisdiction to intervene in the case. They say keeping details about the CIA program secret is essential because national security is at stake. Information obtained through the program has provided the United States with one of the most useful tools in combating terrorist threats to the national security, the government argued in court documents. It has shed light on probable targets and likely methods for attacks on the United States, has led to the disruption of terrorist plots against the United States and its allies, and has gathered information that has played a role in the capture and questioning of senior al-Qaeda operatives, it said. Gitanjali S. Gutierrez, an attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights, responded in court documents Friday that there is no evidence Khan has classified information. Gutierrez accused the administration of using national secrecy concerns to conceal illegal or embarrassing executive conduct. U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton has not indicated when he will rule. source: http://usatoday.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt? action=cpttitle=U.S.+says+terror+suspect+shouldn%27t+talk+to+civilian +lawyer+-+USATODAY.comexpire=urlID=20064711fb=Yurl=http%3A%2F% 2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fnews%2Fwashington%2F2006-11-04- interrogation_x.htmpartnerID=1660 === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

ANTI-MUSLIM SLURS SHOUTED DURING DETROIT ASSAULT - Authorities asked to probe attack as possible hate crime (SOUTHFIELD, MI, 11/28/06) - On Tuesday, November 28, the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) will hold a news conference to call on local and national law enforcement authorities to investigate an assault on a Detroit Muslim as a possible hate crime. The 51-year-old victim, who is of Egyptian heritage, was allegedly dragged from his home on Monday evening and beaten by some 10 white people shouting anti-Muslim slurs. The slurs reportedly included: You're a f**king Arab, You're a f**king Muslim, You're not an American, and Go back to where you came from. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries suffered in the attack.

The show was called 911: The TwinTowers. The video is of great significance as you can see and hear the Tower being demolished and hear the sequence of charges. The sound allegedly has not been enhanced in any way and is even distorted by the Google encoding yet sets itself in accord with the testimony of most eyewitness testimony. That includes testimony from the FDNY firefighters. The building had 114 floors and took approximately 10 seconds to collapse.

It's “no” to the Iraq nexus all the way down the line. That fact is a logical certainty which most people understand on some level of awareness. The public realizes that the attacks of 9/11 and to the Bush/PNAC invasion of Iraq are somehow interwoven, but most Americans cannot bring themselves to deal with the correct cause and effect sequence: Iraq was in no way responsible for what happened on 9/11, but 9/11 was in every way responsible for what happened in Iraq. http://tvnewslies.org/blog/?p=503 === Their next massacre The Green Zone government and its militias are attacking civilians across Iraq to halt the resistance The US and all occupying forces are legally and morally responsible for protecting all Iraqi civilians No level of atrocity can break the geopolitical unity and sovereignty of Iraq http://www.brusselstribunal.org/Massacre.htm === There is no solution.

[media-dakwah] Kebohongan 9/11 Terbongkar : Barbara Olson Salah Satu Korban 9/11 Ternyata Masih Hidup dan Ditahan Di Eropa ?????
NOTE dari basor: Masih ingat dg nama Barbara Olson ? Salah satu korban peristiwa 9/11, yg menjadi sangat terkenal, karena pada saat pembajakan, dia sempat menelepon suaminya lewat handphone dari pesawat. Secara resmi dinyatakan tewas di dalam pesawat pada peristiwa 9/11, setelah pesawatnya menabrak Pentagon. Ternyata dia masih hidup dan sedang ditahan di Eropa karena pelanggaran Imigrasi dan pemalsuan pasport. Masihkah umat islam dipersalahkan atas peristiwa tragedi 9/11 ? - Salah satu korban peristiwa 9-11, masih hidup dan ditahan di Eropa oleh Tom Flocco Austria--September 22, 2005--TomFlocco.com--Dinas inteligen Amerika dan Perancis telah menahan Barbara Olson, istri bekas pejabat pemerintahan Bush , beberapa hari lalu di perbatasan Polandia-Austria, menurut penuturan agen Dinas Inteligen yg terkait dan mengetahui insiden tersebut. Korban jatuhnya pesawat ke Pentagon pada peristiwa 9/11 tesebut tertangkap basah memiliki beberapa juta dalam mata uang Lyra Italia dg modus penipuan interbank, masih menurut keterangan agen-agen tsb. Olson juga dinyatakan memiliki pasport Vatikan palsu dan ditahan atas tuduhan pemalsuan pasport. Bekas komentator TV berita Fox dan anggota Aktifis Forum Wanita Independen ini, sempat menjadi berita utama pada peristiwa 9/11. Karena percakapannya dg suaminya Theodore Olson dari pesawat yg sedang dibajak untuk meminta bantuan dlm melawan para pembajak, yg telah mengambil alih pesawat penerbangan 77, dimana dinyatakan dlm press release pemerintah Bush jatuh dan menabrak Pentagon - anehnya tabrakan itu hanya mengakibatkan lubang di dinding Pentagon selebar 16 feet !!! Ted Olson adalah bekas jaksa agung muda pada pemerintahan Bush, yg mempertanyakan aspek legal penghitungan ulang hasil pemilihan presiden Bush-Gore tahun 2000 yg kontroversial, di hadapan pengadilan tertinggi amerika. Percakapan lewat hand phone nyonya Olson's dg suaminya telah dijadikan bukti paling kuat oleh Komisi Administrasi dan tragedi 9/11 bahwa jatuh dan tabrakan pesawat penerbangan American 77 pada Pentagon memang benar, dibandingkan bukti-bukti fisik yg meragukan. Bukti-bukti kecelakaan Pentagon yg meragukan, telah begitu saja diabaikan dan dicoba disembunyikan, baik oleh Komisi tragedi 9/11 maupun oleh Komite Inteligen Gabungan Kongres, pada penyelidikan terpisah. Berkenaan dg kerahasiaan dan sensisitnya penahanan tsb, investigasi dan interogasinya; salah satu sumber , yg menolak namanya disebutkan pada kasus ini, menyatakan kepada TomFlocco.com bahwa percakapan telepon Olson kepada suaminya adalah kebohongan dan rekayasa. Dan ini sangat berdampak buruk buruk pada pihak Pentagon daripada Olson. Agen-agen tsb mengatakan bahwa pemberitaan penahanan bekas orang populer pertelevisian ini karena bukti pemalsuan dan pelanggaran imigrasi dan pasport sudah sangat jelas dan waktunya sangat tepat. Menurut mereka, Barbara Olson dinyatakan terlibat dan menjadi konspirator rekayasa pembantaian/pembunuhan masal 3,000 korban pada peristiwa September 11, 2001 ; yaitu serangan teroris pada World Trade Center, Pentagon dan jatuhnya pesawat di southwestern Pennsylvania. Penahanan Olson dan kemungkinan munculnya di persidangan di United States, tidak disangsikan lagi akan membawa dampak yg luar biasa; atas hearing yg sedang berlangsung ttg kasus Able Danger di Senate dan dua penyelidikan yg lalu, oleh Komite Inteligen Kongres Gabungan dan Komisi Tragedi 9/11.

[media-dakwah] Afghanistan, Iraq Menjadi Negara paling Korup di Dunia
bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Afghanistan, Iraq Menjadi Negara paling Korup di Dunia Irish Sun Wednesday 19th October, 2005 Irak menjadi negara terkorup di wilayah Arab dan Timur Tengah, dan Afghanistan menjadi negara terkorup di antara negara-negara Asia Tengah. Setelah ke dua negara ini di-merdeka-kan dan di-freedom-kan oleh demokrasinya Amerika. The Berlin-based Transparency International's 2005 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), mengeluarkan pernyataan pada hari Rabu, yang menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari sepertiga dari 159 negara-negara yang disurvei, mendapatkan score kurang dari lima, dimana 10 adalah score paling bersih dari korupsi. Ini menunjukkan tingkat korupsi yang sangat serius pada sebagian besar negara yang disurvei. Irak mendapatkan score 2.2 merupakan ranking yang hampir menempati posisi paling bawah, demikian juga Afghanistan dengan score 2.5. Negara-negara paling parah adalah Bangladesh dan Chad dengan score 1.7. Negara-negara bekas pecahan Uni Soviet menunjukkan performance yang buruk di wilayah Asia Tengah, dengan Afghanistan menempati posisi paling buruk. Indonesia tidak memperlihatkan tanda-tanda perbaikan dibandingkan era Suharto, dengan score sama dengan Irak yaitu 2.2. Inilah kenyataan mengenaskan yang harus kita hadapi, juga merupakan pil pahit yang terpaksa kita telan.

[media-dakwah] Cincinnati Mosque Bombed
bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Mosque door damaged by explosion By Eileen Kelley Enquirer staff writer Wednesday, December 21, 2005 http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051221/NEWS01/512210367/10\56 Members of the Islamic Association of Cincinnati (who declined to be identified) inspect damages the front entrances of two buildings at their Clifton mosque. CLIFTON - An explosion damaged a door Tuesday night at the Islamic Association of Cincinnati Mosque on Clifton Avenue, police said. No one was injured, but several streets in Clifton's Gaslight District were blocked as investigators and bomb-sniffing dogs scoured the area. The building, also known as the Clifton Mosque, was closed at the time. Evening prayers had ended about 8 p.m. Police said they got a call at 10:10 from someone about five blocks away saying they heard an explosion in the area. About 12 minutes later, a neighbor of the mosque called to say they had heard what seemed to be an explosion at the mosque. Police rushed to the scene, but pulled back because of concerns another bomb might go off. Police continued to sweep the area with bomb-sniffing dogs at 12:30 a.m., but had found no other explosives. Cincinnati Police Capt. Gene Hamann said there were no witnesses. FBI investigators arrived at the scene shortly after midnight. The Islamic Association has two buildings, one a two-story brick house and the other an attached worship center that opened about two years ago. The explosion apparently occurred on a porch outside a door at the house, which formerly served as the mosque. The blast caused some damage to the door. About 300-500 people worship at the mosque on a typical Friday, said Karen Dabdoub, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. This is very disturbing, she said. And not only for this mosque and our community, but for the Islamic community in and around Greater Cincinnati. Imtiaz Ahmad, 48, who worships at the mosque, said it has had no problems since the 9/11 attacks. The mosque sits among many churches. Hebrew Union College also is nearby.

The explosion rocked the surrounding area after evening prayers had ended. However, no one was injured in the blast. About 300-500 people worship at the mosque on a typical Friday. ADC President Mary Rose Oakar said, ADC calls on law enforcement officials, public officials, and leadership in Cincinnati to undertake immediate measures to expedite the investigation into this terrible incident, and to determine the nature of this explosion. === CAIR OFFERS REWARD FOR INFO ON OHIO MOSQUE BOMBINGS (WASHINGTON, D.C., 12/21/2005) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators of a double bombing late yesterday that damaged an Ohio mosque.

Reagan * U.S. Senator Mark Dayton * U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney * Robert M. Bowman, Head of Advanced Space Programs, Dept. of Defense * Michael Meacher, UK Minister of Environment (1997 - 2003) * Professor David Ray Griffin, Renowned Theologian * Catherine Austin Fitts, Assistant Secretary of Housing For President Bush These prominent leaders and others now claim that there are serious problems with the official government story of 9/11. Some of these highly respected individuals believe that 9/11 may have been an inside job. It can be very unsettling to even consider the possibility that certain individuals within our government facilitated the attacks in order to advance their hidden agendas. Yet the facts increasingly point in that direction. Morgan Reynolds, Former Chief Economist under President Bush June 13, 2005, Washington Times/ UPI http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20050613-102755-6408r.htm A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is bogus and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7. More on Reynolds : http://www.arcticbeacon.com/articles/article/1518131/27302.htm If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an 'inside job' and a government attack on America would be compelling, said Morgan Reynolds, Ph.D, a former member of the Bush team. Reynolds, now a professor emeritus at Texas AM University, also believes it's next to impossible that 19 Arab terrorists alone outfoxed the mighty U.S. military, adding the scientific conclusions about the WTC collapse may hold the key to the entire mysterious plot behind 9/11. Reynolds...claims explosives and structural experts have been intimidated in their analyses of the collapses of 9/11. In a detailed analysis just released supporting the controlled demolition theory, Reynolds presents a compelling case. Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Sect. of Treasury under Pres. Reagan http://www-hoover.stanford.edu/bios/roberts.html Website of Stanford's Hoover Institute describes Roberts The Honorable Paul Craig Roberts is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. During 198182, he served as assistant secretary of the Treasury for economic policy. He was awarded the Treasury Department's Meritorious Service Award for his outstanding contributions to the formulation of United States economic policy. A former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal and columnist for Business Week...the Forbes Media Guide ranked him as one of its top seven journalists. He has testified before committees of Congress on 30 occasions. Las Vegas Tribune's July 29, 2005 article on Roberts : http://www.lasvegastribune.com/20050729/headline3.html Roberts said he hasn't changed his political ideology or jumped from the Republican-conservative ship but just can't respect a party leadership who doesn't respect the truth. I guess the real story about 9/11 is about what the people are actually saying. I've gotten hundreds of emails in response to my columns and many of them talk about not getting the truth from the government or the media about what really happened at the World Trade Center. I know many qualified engineers and scientists have said the WTC collapsed from explosives. In fact, if you look at the manner in which it fell, you have to give their conclusions credibility. U.S. Senator Mark Dayton July 31, 2004, The Star-Tribune (Minneapolis - St. Paul) http://web.archive.org/web/20040811061345/http://www.startribune.com/stories/1576/4904237.html http://www.911citizenswatch.org/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=369 Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., charged...that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) have covered up catastrophic failures that left the nation vulnerable during the Sept. 11 hijackings. For almost three years now, NORAD officials and FAA officials have been able to hide their critical failures that left this country defenseless during two of the worst hours in our history, Dayton declared during a Senate Governmental Affairs Committee hearing. Dayton said NORAD officials lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11 commission to create a false impression of competence,

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === MUHAMMAD CARTOONS NOT THE EPITOME OF FREE EXPRESSION NEW AMERICA MEDIA EDITOR'S NOTE: The lampooning of the prophet Muhammad by a series of Danish newspaper cartoons should not be defended in the name of freedom of the press and expression, writes Rene Ciria-Cruz, an editor at New America Media and Filipinas Magazine. SAN FRANCISCO--Why are some Western commentators casting the controversy over the Danish cartoons lampooning the prophet Muhammad as a challenge to freedom of expression and of the press? They should instead view the controversy as a challenge to journalists to renew their sense of respect for different cultures and religious beliefs. http://news.newamericamedia.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=82285f8ccc0eb25876a7d4dbf4f2a563 === Cartoons and the clash of 'freedoms' The post-September 11 era, as with the preceding ones, has its own collection of heroes and villains. What seems to be notably different about the era after the terror attacks in 2001 is that no subject, and nothing, is sacred in the West, especially when it comes to Muslims and Islam. The escalating controversy about publishing a series of cartoons - first in some Scandinavian papers, and then in a number of newspapers from other countries of the European Union - of the Prophet Mohammed is the most recent example of that development. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/HB04Aa01.html === Letter from Interfaith Freedom Foundation To Reporters Without Borders regarding cartoon issue Thought you might like to see my e-mail yesterday to Reporters Without Borders, an organization I usually support strongly. I thought they took exactly the wrong tone in today's alert appealing for calm on the Denmark-cartoon issue. They seemed to lecture Muslims without offering even the slightest indication that the Danish newspaper did anything wrong, much less indicate that people of faith have a right to respond to it.

In 1984, the newspaper supported a demand for removing a wall painting at Birkeroed Railway Station picturing Jesus with an erected penis. And in 2004, Jyllands-Posten backed the actions of an Israeli ambassador when he destroyed a Palestinian exposition in Sweden, which pictured a suicide bomber.

How could a single planeload of burning jet fuel -- most of which flared off in the initial fireball -- cause the South World Trade Center tower to collapse in just 56 minutes? * Why did building WTC-7 fall, though no aircraft struck it?

[media-dakwah] The Cartoons are a purposeful provocation
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Cartoons are a purposeful provocation EUROPEAN MEDIA PROVOKES MUSLIMS TO INFLAME ZIONIST CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS MUSLIM-INSUFFER note: Mereka bukan orang bodoh yg tidak tahu dan tidak sensitif masalah itu, tetapi memang Pelecehan Rasulullah dg gambar karikatur tsb jelas2 disengaja ... untuk PROVOKASI. Kalau memang mereka konsisten dg FREE SPEECH yg dibangga-banggakan itu, kenapa suara2 yg mempertanyakan dan mengungkap ttg kebohongan dan penipuan HOLOCAUST Israel; dibungkam dan dijebloskan ke penjara. Mana itu ... FREE SPEECH ?? Under the guise of free speech, a leading Danish newspaper published a dozen provocative anti-Islamic cartoons clearly designed to offend Muslims. The predictable result has greatly increased the possibility of violence and left Denmark in a costly and dangerous predicament. Four months after Jyllands-Posten (JP), Denmark's most widely read morning paper, published 12 anti-Islamic cartoons, Danes woke up to the fact that there is a very high price to be paid for promoting the clash of civilizations. The fact that the editors behind the anti-Islamic images claim to be exercising free speech while refusing to address Europe's strict censorship laws regarding discussion of the Holocaust and the ongoing imprisonment of historical revisionists reveals the existence of a more sinister agenda behind the provocative cartoons. Agents of certain persuasion are behind the egregious affront to Islam in order to provoke Muslims, Professor Mikael Rothstein of the University of Copenhagen told the BBC. The key agent is Flemming Rose, the cultural editor of JP, who commissioned cartoonists to produce the blasphemous images and then published them in Denmark's leading morning paper last September. The International Herald Tribune, which reported on the offensive cartoons on January 1, noted that even the liberalism of Rose had its limits when it came to criticism of Zionist leaders and their crimes. Rose also has clear ties to the Zionist Neo-Cons behind the war on terror. Rose told the international paper owned by The New York Times that he would not publish a cartoon of Israel's Ariel Sharon strangling a Palestinian baby, since that could be construed as 'racist.' Asked why he was protecting Sharon, a known war criminal, while abusing Muslims and their Prophet in the name of free speech, Rose told American Free Press that he had been misquoted in the Times article. Rose traveled to Philadelphia in October 2004 to visit Daniel Pipes, the Neo-Con ideologue who says the only path to Middle East peace will come through a total Israeli military victory. Rose then penned a positive article about Pipes, who compares militant Islam with fascism and communism. In April 2003, President George W. Bush nominated the rabid anti-Muslim Pipes to the board of the United States Institute of Peace, a congressionally sponsored think tank dedicated to the peaceful resolution of international conflicts. Ministers from 17 Muslim nations condemned the publication of the cartoons as an egregious offence to Islam and called on the Danish government to ensure that it would not be repeated. When the Danish government, which supports the war on terror with more than 500 troops in Iraq, refused to issue an apology for the offensive cartoons, Muslim consumers across the Middle East began a boycott of Danish products. Within days the boycott had severely affected Danish exporters and the politicians in Copenhagen scrambled to undo the damage. Arla Foods, a large Danish-Swedish dairy company, was badly hit by the boycott. The company, which had annual sales of some $480 million in the Middle East, saw its sales in the region plummet to nil as Muslim shopkeepers pulled Danish products off the shelves. We have taken 40 years to build up a very big business in the Middle East, and we've seen it come to a complete stop in five days, company spokeswoman Astrid Gade Niels told the BBC. Our sales in the Middle East have come to a complete stop - in all countries in the region, she said. We have found ourselves in the middle of a game that we have no part in. As the boycott damaged Danish business and a bomb scare closed the office of his newspaper, Rose continued to defend his decision to commission and publish the offensive cartoons. We stand by the publication of these 12 cartoons, he said. Asked if he would have done it knowing what the reaction would be, Rose said: That is a hypothetical question. I would say that I do not regret having commissioned those cartoons and I think asking me that question is like asking a rape victim if she regrets wearing a short skirt Friday night at the discotheque. The dangerous game that was started by the Danish editor has now been picked up by at least 7 newspapers across Europe

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Danish paper rejected Jesus cartoons Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that first published the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad that have caused a storm of protest throughout the Islamic world, refused to run drawings lampooning Jesus Christ, it has emerged today. This ends the claim that this is a free-speech issue. http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1703501,00.html === Europe's Defamation of the Prophet Indeed the only freedom of speech left in the west is bashing Islam otherwise it does have its limits. In Europe you can be prosecuted for questioning the extant of the Holocaust or criticizing Israels policy given western indoctrination that such freedom is Anti-Semitic. Israel and its bloody history is now the Holy Grail for the civilized west, the champions of human rights. http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/26484 === Intended Insults: Unintended Consequences On 31 January, Carsten Juste, editor-in-chief of Jyllands-Posten, published an open letter to Muslims saying he was sorry that Muslims took offence from the cartoons (which his cultural editor had commissioned for the express purpose of causing offence). In that caricature of an apology he did not admit that the paper had done anything wrong. Rather he blamed the Muslims' poor understanding of the Danish culture for their getting so upset. Then he wondered, as did many media pundits, why Muslims were not buying his apology. http://www.albalagh.net/current_affairs/0086.shtml === When Freedom of Expression Becomes a Weapon Our news sources informed us that due solely to these images outrage sweeps across the Muslim world. Such coverage has elicited miles of text and a Babel of blather denouncing those who would dare threaten OUR freedom of speech because it offends THEIR backward beliefs http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11790.htm === The misplaced defense of free speech Now how well do Danes know their cultural past, if the thoughts of their finest thinker sound alien to them today? And are Muslims to be blamed if Westerners have themselves allowed the commerce of decadent capitalism to make them forget some of best features of their intellectual heritage? For myself, the free speech defense for the cartoons rings hollow coming at a time when historians are being thrown in prison for questioning the history of WW2. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HB07Ak03.html === Neo-cons use Denmark as their latest tool to bring about the Clash of Civilizations Denmark is at the center of the ongoing neo-con plot to bring about a bloody military confrontation between the West and Islam. This Clash of Civilizations is a hallmark of the neo-con philosophy and is most exemplified in the writings of Prof. Samuel Huntington and Daniel Pipes. http://mparent.livejournal.com/6178526.html#cutid1 === Cartoon protests turn deadly From Afghanistan to Indonesia, tens of thousands of Muslims around the world have launched a series of new protests -- some violent -- over cartoons depicting Prophet Mohammed.

Just do some mental substitutions with recent historical events and what happened in Germany. (For example the 9/11 attack could substitute for the Reichstag terrorist case.) The Germans gave up their civil liberties to allow the government to protect them against Communist Terrorists.

[media-dakwah] Kebohongan Denmark Terbongkar: Media Denmark Menolak Karikatur Pelecehan Yesus
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Kebohongan Denmark Terbongkar: Media Denmark Menolak Karikatur Pelecehan Yesus, 3 Tahun Yang Lalu Gwladys Fouché and agencies Monday February 6, 2006 MUSLIMINSUFFER Note: Kata bangsa Denmark, melecehkan dan menginjak-injak nabi Muhammad saw dan umat islam; itu adalah demi kebebasan pers, kebebasan berbicara, FREEDOM of SPEECH. Tetapi kalau mengungkap dan membongkar kebohongan HOLOCAUST Yahudi, maka itu adalah pengkhianatan dan tindakan un-PATRIOTIC, dan hukumannya adalah dikebloskan ke penjara dan dirampas kebebasan berbicaranya. Kebohongan demi kebohongan makin terungkap, ternyata media masa Denmark MENOLAK untuk menayangkan karikatur tentang YESUS. Dimana itu FREEDOM of SPEECH Jyllands-Posten, media massa Denmark yang mempublikasikan pertama kali karikatur pelecehan terhadap nabi Muhammad, yang telah menyebabkan badai protes menyeluruh di dunia islam, ternyata menolak untuk memasang gambar pelecehan Yesus kristus. Fakta ini terbongkar dan menyeruak hari ini. Harian Denmark ini membatalkan pemasangan karikatur Yesus tersebut 3 tahun yang lalu, atas dasar ini akan menghina dan menyakitkan para pembacanya dan yang jelas itu tidak lucu lagi. Pada bulan April 2003, Christoffer Zieler seorang ilustrator media Denmark memasukkan serial kartun karikatur tentang Kebangkitan Yesus Kristus kepada Jyllands-Posten dan akhirnya ditolak. Zieler menerima balasan email dari editor mingguan media masa ini, Jens Kaiser, yang mengatakan: Saya yakin para pembaca Jyllands-Posten tidak akan bisa menerima gambar ini. Fakta yang akan muncul, saya yakin bahwa gambar-gambar tersebut akan memprovokasi timbulnya histeria. Maka dari itu, saya tidak akan menayangkannya. Kartunis ini mengatakan kepada harian Norwegia Dagbladet, yang bisa terbaca di email: Saya menilai bahwa kartun tersebut adalah sekedar lelucon saja, sehingga kakek sayapun akan menikmatinya. Saya perlihatkan gambar-gambar itu kepada beberapa pastur dan mereka pikir itu lucu. Ia katakan bahwa ia merasa Jyllands-Posten menganggap perasaan pembaca dari umat kristen jauh lebih tinggi dibandingkan pembaca muslim. Tetapi editor Jyllands-Posten, Mr Kaiser, saat dikonfirmasi, mengatakan kepada MediaGuardian.co.uk bahwa kasusnya jelas berbeda, ini sangat menggelikan untuk mengungkapkannya sekarang. Ini tidak ada hubungannya dengan karikatur Muhammad. Pada kasus gambar Muhammad, kami meminta ahli ilustrator untuk membuatnya. Saya tidak meminta untuk dibuatkan gambar Yesus itu. Itulah perbedaannya, ia berkata. Sang ilustrator mengira hasil karikaturnya lucu. Saya tidak berpikir demikian. Itu akan menyakitkan bagi beberapa pembaca, tak banyak tetapi ada. Perkataan seperti ini menandakan double-standards, kata Ahmed Akkari, juru bicara Komite Pemuliaan Rasulullah di Eropa yang berbasis di Denmark (Danish-based European Committee for Prophet Honouring), payung organisasi yang mewakili 27 organisasi Muslim yang menuntut permintaan ma'af penuh terhadap Jyllands-Posten. Bagaimana bisa Jyllands-Posten kedua kasus tersebut? Sungguh-sungguh mereka harus mengerti, Mr Akkari menambahkan. Sementara itu, editor media masa Malaysia mengundurkan diri di akhir minggu setelah memuat salah satu karikatur pelecehan Muhammad, yang menimbulkan badai protes di seluruh dunia islam. Malaysia's Sunday Tribune, berbasis di negara bagian Sarawak, pulau kalimantan, menayangkan salah satu karikatur tersebut pada hari sabtu. Tidak jelas yang mana dari ke12 gambar itu yang dicetak ulang. Dicetak di halaman 12 surat kabar tersebut, gambar itu menjadi ilustrasi artikel tentang kontroversi rendahnya reaksi masyarakat di Malaysia, sebuah negara yang mayoritas muslim. Surat kabar itu menyatakan permintaan ma'af dan penyesalan atas pemberitaan yang tak bertanggung jawab itu, di pemberitaan halaman depan hari minggunya. · To contact the MediaGuardian newsdesk email mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] or phone 020 7239 9857 · If you are writing a comment for publication, please mark clearly for publication. source: Diterjemahkan dari Danish paper rejected Jesus cartoons http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1703501,00.html Related articles http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story//Media/presspublishing/story/0,,1703237,00.htmlRioting with well-planned spontaneity http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story//Media/presspublishing/story/0,,1703107,00.htmlViolence, fatwas and online anti-Jew images http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story//Media/presspublishing/story/0,,1702772,00.htmlEmbassies ablaze as Muslim anger spreads http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story//Media/presspublishing/story/0,,1702106,00.htmlCartoon controversy spreads http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story//Media/presspublishing/story/0,,1702116,00.htmlProtests and calls for vengeance

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Cartoon of Prophet Muhammad: Everything indicates that CIA were the real sender of the provocation, a typical CIA operation. * The CIA of the US and the MOSSAD of Israel are behind practically ALL big political provocations and false-flag operations on the planet. The burden of proof therefore in every case lies with them. * Bush stands soon completely isolated in his aggression against Iraq. Only few of the vasal states, including Denmark, have not yet left or are not leaving Iraq * Bush therefore needs to spread the war out again and involve Europe by playing the religious card. A provocation of the muslims at the religious level involving at least one European country is a perfect solution. And which country in Europe is more ideal for this purpose than Denmark: * her prime minister is one of Bushs close friends and has been allowed to eat breakfast with Bush * as well in the maximally criminal war of aggression against Iraq as in all other relations Denmark is the 100 % loyal servant of the US, for instance also in the case of the next US war target, Iran * the Danish people as a whole is self-centered and without power of resistance to manipulation * the country is governed by a coalion of rightwing parties dominated by the extremist rightwing party Fremskridtspartiet * there is no noteworthy political opposition * together with the newspapers Ekstrabladet and Jyllandsposten, Fremskridtspartiet for 10 15 years has conducted a daily hate campaign against all immigrants, in particular the muslims * the weakest founded 2/3 of the natives thereby have assumed a hostile attitude to the muslims. http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2006/0206/cia_070206.htm === Muslim boycott hits Danish firms hard- One firm losing $1.8 million a day (CNN) -- A boycott of Danish goods called by Muslim leaders over the publishing of cartoons of Prophet Mohammed is dealing a blow to the nation's businesses. Oil giant Iran became the latest nation to impose penalties, saying on Monday it would cut off all trade ties with Denmark. Reuters reported that Iran imports $280 million worth of goods from Denmark a year. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/02/07/cartoon.denmarktrade/ === Cartoon editor Fleming Rose and the tentacles of PNAC It turns out the editor who originally publshed the offensive Muslim cartoons is a disciple of Daniel Pipes and the clash of civilizations theory put out by Project for a New American Century. PNAC is the outfit that called for a Pearl Harbor event' in order to initiate a global war against the Muslim world. http://www.total411.info/2006/02/cartoon-editor-fleming-rose-and.html === A clash of rights and responsibilities Western governments have reacted with noticeable caution over the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The last thing these governments want is another confrontation in which Islam is seen to be pitched against the West. The strategy therefore is to try to prevent this from becoming a clash of civilisations. Officials fear Islamic radicals will exploit the issue, further justifying their case that the West is basically hostile to Islam. Islamist websites are already calling for revenge attacks. But it has become a clash of culture, an argument about how far free speech should prevail over the sensitivities of a religious or other group. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4686536.stm === Free speech is not absolute Concerning the egregious cartoons of Prophet Muhammad: Freedom of expression ends where religious bigotry and religious hatred begin. The noble purpose of freedom of expression should be to promote understanding among multicultural communities, which will create healthier, stronger and more diverse societies, and not to insult other's beliefs. It should be no more acceptable to scream Prophet Muhammad is a terrorist from the cartoon section of a major daily than it would be to yell The Holocaust is a myth in a crowded synagogue.

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's Reform Minister Roberto Calderoli has had T-shirts made emblazoned with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a move that could embarrass Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government. Calderoli, a member of the anti-immigrant Northern League party, told Ansa news agency on Tuesday that the West had to stand up against Islamist extremists and offered to hand out T-shirts to anyone who wanted them. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060214/wl_nm/religion_cartoons_italy_dc_1 === Racist cartoons: Why Muslims have a right to be angry The Danish government's defence of the publication by a Danish newspaper of caricatures of the prophet Mohammed, including one with the 7th century Arab religious leader wearing a turban with a bomb attached to it, has provoked widespread protests by justifiably angry Muslims around the world. http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2006/656/656p24.htm === In their own words: the politics behind the anti-Muslim cartoons Common to the statements of virtually all of the pundits and politicians who have come to the defense of the Danish government and Jyllands-Posten in the controversy over the newspapers publication of anti-Muslim cartoons is a refusal to consider the political context which gave rise to these ugly and offensive caricatures. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/feb2006/cart-f15.shtml === THE CANADIAN ISLAMIC CONGRESS MEDIA COMMUNIQUE ISLAMIC CONGRESS JOINS ABORIGINAL NGOs TO CONDEMN RACIST JUST ANOTHER INDIAN REMARK IN WESTERN STANDARD ARTICLE -- SAME MAGAZINE RAN DANISH CARTOONS MOCKING PROPHET MUHAMMAD http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net === The Political Uses of Free Speech I empathize with those baffled by the rapidly spiraling controversy around the series of cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad. The cartoons were first published in the Danish paper, Jyllands-Posten, nearly five months ago, in September. The initial protest was limited to Denmarks Muslim minority but was brushed off by both government and civil society. This is when some of the ultra- conservative Danish imams took matters into their own hands and set off for Saudi Arabia and Egypt, with a dossier containing the inflammatory cartoons. Last week came the diplomatic explosion: Saudi Arabia recalled its ambassador in Denmark and Libya shut its embassy. There followed the boycott of Danish goods, demonstrations, strikes, flag-burning, and now fires set to embassies in Damascus and Beirut. https://lists.portside.org/pipermail/portside/Week-of-Mon-20060213/009026.html === Muslim outrage was consciously instigated by Rose and his neocon friends Let me tell you a few things about blasphemy. Been there, done it. Got expelled from high school for it. That was a few decades ago, and for those seeking titillation, Ill give you the details at the end of this screed. First I have to tell you about a massive propaganda coup.

Who said politics was boring, as Mark Warner the former Governor of Virginia said recently that politics was not a battle between right and left, or between conservative and liberal but between the past and the future. In the battle of ideas around the cartoons controversy, the Muslims are advocating the future whereas the west remains wedded to the past. http://www.aljazeerah.info/Opinion%20editorials/2006%20Opinion%20Editorials/February/15%20o/Cartoons,%20Voltaire,%20and%20the%20Non-Clash%20of%20Civilisations%20By%20Sajjad%20Khan.htm === Blasphemous Cartoons: An Opportunity for Unity, Activism, and Protest for Muslim Americans Only U.S. Muslims as a community (200 protested in Philadelphia) have not launched a large protest against these cartoons.

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Statement From The University of Ottawa Muslim Students Association Regarding Danish Cartoons Ottawa February 18, 2006: Since many of you are concerned about the recent events surrounding the Danish Cartoon Controversy, we feel we should offer an official statement, letting you know where we stand. The practice of insulting Gods prophets is no historical novelty. It has been done on several occasions, and there are precedents for dealing with such a matter. Recall that Muhammad (SAW) himself had to come to terms with the paintings which lined the walls of the Kaaba. These paintings, which we may also call caricatures, offered the most obnoxious and unpalatable depictions of our patriarchs engaged in blasphemous activities. We ought to pay attention to how Muhammad (SAW) dealt with those at the time. He certainly did not overreact, nor lose his temper, nor burn effigies in the streets, nor did he engage in abstract and senseless debates about freedom of expression (which risk characterizing us as dishonest advocates of censorship). Our Prophet responded with the traits which won him so much respect and political legitimacy: Patience, diplomacy, and amnesty. He struggled against the repressive Quraysh for 23 years to win the hearts and minds of the people of Mecca. And only until they accepted him as their leader did he take it upon himself to wash the paintings off the sacred walls of the Kaaba. http://www.uomsa.com === Flemming Rose Oped In Washington Post: Why I Published Those Cartoons Childish. Irresponsible. Hate speech. A provocation just for the sake of provocation. A PR stunt. Critics of 12 cartoons of the prophet Muhammad I decided to publish in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten have not minced their words. They say that freedom of expression does not imply an endorsement of insulting people's religious feelings, and besides, they add, the media censor themselves every day.

When you get beyond this consensus -- the cultural chasm consensus -- and ask what to do about the problem, there is less agreement. After all, chasms are hard to bridge. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/17/opinion/17Wright.html?pagewanted=2_r=1 === NATIONAL MUSLIM COALITION ISSUES STATEMENT ON CARTOON CONTROVERSY (Ottawa, Canada - 17/02/06) - Prominent national Canadian Muslim organizations and umbrella groups have signed an unprecedented statement praising Canadas collective response to the cartoon controversy, saying Canada has made Canadian Muslims proud.

Treasurer Peter Costellos comments came just days after Prime Minister John Howard said some segments of the Islamic community were antagonistic to Australian society and expressed concern about Muslim attitudes towards women. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2006%5C02%5C24%5Cstory_24-2-2006_pg4_11 === Freedom of press -- only for the anti-Islamic witch hunt On the double standard of the West of the caricatures against the Islamic prophet It is long ago that Europe was worrying so much about freedom of press. Apparently this freedom is only valid for the worriers in the war against the Arab-Islamic world. Let us recall what few will know: when thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Munich, Germany, on February 4 for against the NATO conference the police hunted every person carrying a poster which called Bush a war criminal. Eventually several dozens were arrested for having insisted on their freedom of expression. But the regime media did not join into the chorus of defence of basic liberties. These facts were not even worth a column. http://www.antiimperialista.org/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=4196Itemid=55 === Free Speech or Hate Speech? I dont know of anything more important than freedom of expression, said former Supreme Court Justice Peter Cory commenting on the Courts decision to uphold Jim Keegstras conviction for willfully promoting hatred in 1991. The offensive Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad have now ignited global interest in the subject. To date four Canadian media outlets have entered the fray. http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net === Understanding the Roots of the Anti-Muslim Cartoon Scandal The mainstream media coverage of the anti#8209;Islamic cartoons ignores the fact that the publication of the images was a calculated offense commissioned by a Danish colleague of the neo#8209;con ideologue Daniel Pipes and was meant to incite violence and promote the clash of civilizations. www.americanfreepress.net http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=85229 === Publications not charged for printing cartoons No evidence of inciting hatred, Crown finds Muslim groups urge broadening of hate laws OTTAWAA Crown prosecutor's decision not to lay criminal hate charges against two publications that ran the infamous editorial cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad has left some Canadian Muslim groups calling on Ottawa to broaden the scope of Canada's hate laws. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1c=Articlecid=1140648614895call_pageid=968332188774col=968350116467 === U of T student newspaper refuses to apologize for publishing Muhammad cartoon Ragaz and his crowd can reject all they want that publishing the offensive cartoons was an act of hatred, an attack on the Muslim faith, and on Muslims in general. These cartoons in fact were a racist and hate filled slap in the face to Muslims everywhere and they can go ahead and deny our anger, but that does not change the facts. If this action were directed at any other faith group in Canada then hate crimes would be implemented, but because it is completely acceptable to defame Muslims then these laws don't apply and those amoung us who complain are labled fanatics and fundamentalists. As they continue to deficate on all things we hold to be sacred our anger becomes greater as the days go by. http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20060218/ca_pr_on_na/prophet_drawings_uoft === Most Canadian journalists believe the media should publish hateful cartoons Most Canadian journalists believe the media in this country should have carried controversial Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed, a new poll suggested Monday. MMN Question: What does this news item below tell us about MOST Canadian journalists? We agree with the most recent statement of the United Church of Canada who called the motovation behind publishing the cartoons as nothing less than racial hatred and Islamophobia. Please read their statement at: http://www.united-church.ca/news/2006/0217.shtm It is interesting that the Globe and Mail published an editorial today (see second article below) criticizing the United Church of Canada's position. The editorial stated that: To suggest that they were inciting race hatred is to echo the ravings of the extremists The editorial is basically saying those who hold the view that the cartoon incites hatred against Muslims are extremists and link this view with those who support violence.

[media-dakwah] Mengapa Ada Islam Liberal
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Ushul Fikih Palsu Kaum Liberal Oleh: M. Shiddiq Al-Jawi Ushul Fikih Kaum Liberal, Memangnya Ada? Apakah kaum liberal, seperti Jaringan Islam Liberal (JIL), mempunyai ushul fiqih? Pertanyaan ini harus dijawab dulu. Jangan-jangan setelah capek-capek mengkritik secara serius, ternyata mereka tidak memilikinya. Ini sama saja dengan memasak pepesan kosong. Untuk itu, patut diketahui dulu pengertian ushul fikih serta apa saja yang menjadi cakupan studi ushul fikih. Menurut ulama ushul fikih mazhab Hanafi, Maliki, dan Hanbali, ushul fikih adalah kaidah-kaidah (qawâid) yang dapat mengantarkan pada penggalian (istinbâth) hukum syariat dari dalil-dalilnya yang terperinci (Asy-Syaukani, Irsyâd al-Fuhûl, hlm. 3; Wahbah az-Zuhaili, Ushûl al-Fiqh al-Islâmî, I/23-24). Sedangkan menurut ulama mazhab Syafii, ushul fikih adalah pengetahuan mengenai dalil-dalil fikih yang bersifat global, tatacara pengambilan hukum dari dalil-dalil itu, serta keadaan orang yang mengambil hukum (Al-Amidi, Al-Ihkâm fî Ushûl al-Ahkâm, I/10). Dari berbagai definisi itu, topik (mawdhû) ushul fikih menurut Muhammad Husain Abdullah (Abdullah, Al-Wadhîh fî Ushûl al-Fiqh hlm. 29), meliputi 4 (empat) kajian, yaitu: (1) Kajian tentang dalil-dalil hukum yang bersifat global (al-adillah al-ijmâliyyah), misalnya al-Quran, as-Sunnah, Ijma, Qiyas, dan seterusnya. (2) Kajian tentang hukum syariat (al-hukm asy-syarî) dan hal-hal yang terkait dengannya, seperti definisi hukum syariat dan macam-macamnya. (3) Kajian tentang cara memahami dalil (fahm al-dalîl) atau pengertian kata (dalâlah al-alfâzh), misalnya tentang manthûq (makna eksplisit) dan mafhûm (makna implisit). (4) Kajian tentang ijtihad dan taklid, termasuk tatacara melakukan tarjîh (analisis) untuk memilih yang terkuat dari sekian dalil yang tampak bertentangan (taârudh). Nah, kalau definisi ushul fikih dan cakupan kajiannya itu diterapkan pada ide-ide ushul fikih kaum liberal, apakah mereka memang punya ushul fikih sendiri? Seorang pakar dan kritikus ide liberal, Dr. Busthami Muhammad Said, menyimpulkan, ijtihad dalam ushul fikih di kalangan kaum liberalmulai dari Sayyid Ahmad Khan, Muhammad Abduh, Qasim Amin, Ali Abdur Raziq, Thaha Husain, dan lainnyatidak lebih dari sekadar teori belaka, tanpa kenyataan (Said, Mafhûm Tajdîd ad-Dîn (terj.), hlm. 268). Jadi, kaum liberal sebenarnya tidak mempunyai ushul fikih, dalam definisi yang sesungguhnya. Karya mereka tidak pernah menerangkan dengan jelas, apa sebenarnya dalil syariat (sumber hukum) itu. Buktinya, perilaku pejabat yang suka menghadiri perayaan hari raya non-Islam dijadikan dalil bagi bolehnya merayakan hari raya agama selain Islam (Madjid dkk., 2004: 85-88). Mereka juga tidak pernah menerangkan dengan tuntas, bagaimana metode penggalian hukum dari dalilnya, selain mengklaim bahwa metodenya adalah hermeneutika (Adnin Armas, Pengaruh Kristen-Orientalis Terhadap Islam Liberal, hlm. 35). Padahal metode ini aslinya adalah untuk menafsirkan Bible (Perjanjian Lama dan Baru); tentu tidak cocok untuk menafsirkan al-Quran, karena Bible dan al-Quran sangat jauh berbeda, seperti bumi dan langit. Tidak aneh jika Norman Daniel (Daniel, Islam and The West: The Making of an Image, hlm. 53) menegaskan, The Quran has no parallel outside Islam (Al-Quran tidak mempunyai kesejajaran dengan [kitab lainnya] di luar Islam). (Adian Husaini, Mengapa Barat Menjadi Sekular-Liberal, www.insistnet.com). Walhasil, ushul fikih kaum liberal sangat diragukan eksistensinya. Akan tetapi, barangkali ada yang bertanya, bukankah mereka kadang menyampaikan gagasan seputar ushul fikih? Hasan at-Turabi, misalnya, dikenal menyerukan pembaruan (tajdîd) di bidang ushul fikih (At-Turabi, Fiqih Demokratis, Bandung: Mizan, 2003). Jauh sebelum itu, pada 70-an, Jamaluddin Athiyah dalam Majalah Al-Muslim al-Muâshir edisi Nopember 1974, juga Ahmad Kamal Abul Majid, tokoh liberal lainnya, dalam majalah Al-Arabi edisi Mei 1977, telah mengajak umat Islam untuk berijtihad dalam ushul fikih, bukan hanya dalam fikh (Said, 1995: 266). Kaum liberal Indonesia pun kadang menggembar-gemborkan ushul fikih baru. Nurcholish Madjid dkk, misalnya, pernah mengklaim mengikuti metode ushul fiqih Imam asy-Syatibi dalam kitabnya, Al-Muwâfaqât fî Ushûl al-Ahkâm, ketika menggagas bukunya yang gagal, Fiqih Lintas Agama (2004). Abdul Moqsith Ghazali (aktivis JIL) mencetuskan beberapa kaidah ushul fikih baru, semisal: (1) Al-Ibrah bi al-maqâshid lâ bi al-alfâzh (Yang menjadi patokan hukum adalah maksud/tujuan syariat, bukan ungkapannya [dalam teks]); (2) Jawâz naskh nushûsh bi al-mashlahah (Boleh menghapus nash dengan maslahat); (3) Tanqîh nushûsh bi aql al-mujtama (Boleh mengoreksi teks dengan akal [pendapat] publik) (www.islamlib.com, publikasi 24/12/2003). Bukankah ini adalah ushul fikih
[media-dakwah] U.N. Report: Jews are Terrorists, Not Palestinians
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Wednesday, March 8, 2006 9:18 a.m. EST U.N. Report: Jews are Terrorists, Not Palestinians Jewish settlers are terrorizing Palestinians with impunity, attacking children on their way to school and destroying farmers' trees and crops, a U.N. expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict said in a report. John Dugard, a South African lawyer, called the withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip last summer a positive step. But the Jewish state effectively controls Gaza through targeted killings and sonic booms from warplanes flying over the region, Dugard said in a report prepared ahead of next week's annual meeting of the 53-member U.N. Human Rights Commission. Itzhak Levanon, Israel's U.N. ambassador in Geneva, rejected Dugard's allegations as misinformed and inaccurate. Dugard's report is guided by a clear political agenda, and bears little relation either to the facts or existing principles of international law, Levanon said in an e-mailed statement to The Associated Press. Israel has previously rejected Dugard's reports on the Palestinian-Israeli dispute as being one-sided, noting that he has been assigned only to investigate violations by the Israeli side. Dugard said settler violence has been particularly egregious in the West Bank city of Hebron. His 22-page report made no reference to Palestinian terrorism, but said Hebron settlers terrorize the few Palestinians that have not left the old city and assault and traumatize children on the way to school. It seems that settlers are able to terrorize Palestinians and destroy their trees and crops with impunity, Dugard said, adding that he himself was a victim of settler abuse while visiting the city in June 2005. Dugard prepares regular reports for the U.N.'s human rights watchdog during visits to the region, but receives no cooperation from the Israeli government. Next week's meeting comes as U.N. member states debate replacing the discredited Human Rights Commission with a new body. The commission has been widely criticized for allowing some of the worst rights-offending countries to use their membership to shield each other from condemnation. Dugard filed his report before Hamas won Palestinian elections in January and made no mention of the Islamic militant group, which is sworn to Israel's destruction and refuses to renounce violence. The report ignores the fact that the Hamas, considered as a terrorist organization by the family of nations, controls the Palestinian authority and disregards the enormous efforts done by Israel to fight this terrorism while preserving humanitarian law and human rights, Levanon said. Dugard said Israel's actions in Gaza violated the Geneva Conventions on warfare, which forbid all measures of intimidation or of terrorism against civilians in time of war. In the first three months after the Gaza withdrawal, targeted assassinations by Israeli defense forces in the territory killed 18 civilians and injured 81, in addition to killing 15 militants. Palestinians have launched rockets from Gaza against southern Israeli towns, and Israel has retaliated with artillery fire and airstrikes. Hamas has observed a yearlong moratorium on suicide and shooting attacks. But Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz warned Tuesday that Hamas leaders, including the incoming Palestinian prime minister, will not be immune from pinpointed Israeli killings if the group were to resume attacks.

[media-dakwah] Siapa Menolak RUU APP?
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === ROL : Rabu, 08 Maret 2006 Siapa Menolak RUU APP? Boleh jadi, banyak orang menyangka Ketua Pansus RUU Anti-Pornografi dan Pornoaksi (RUU APP) DPR, Balkan Kaplale, merupakan orang yang paling merasa pusing saat ini. Pro dan kontra terhadap RUU itu merebak di berbagai media massa, demonstrasi juga terjadi nyaris setiap hari. Ternyata tidak demikian. Balkan bahkan mungkin justru orang yang paling optimistis saat ini. Apalagi setelah dia mendatangi tiga tempat yang selama ini selalu disebut-sebut menolak tegas adanya RUU tersebut --yakni Bali, Batam, dan Papua. ''Tidak benar di ketiga daerah tersebut ada penolakan,'' kata Balkan kepada Republika, tegas. ''Berita itu sengaja digelembungkan saja. Mereka ternyata bisa menerima.'' Masukan dari masyarakat Batam, Bali, dan Papua itu akan dibahas bersama masukan 167 lembaga lain oleh tim perumus pada 10-12 Maret mendatang. Anggota Fraksi Partai Demokrat itu lantas bercerita. Dia baru saja menerima pesan pendek (SMS) dari seorang tokoh Bali. ''Isinya minta maaf, karena saat pansus datang ke Bali, justru disambut demonstrasi,'' kata Balkan. Isi pesan pendek itu juga menyatakan bahwa mereka yang datang ke tempat pertemuan itu justru orang-orang dari luar Bali. Bagaimana mungkin Bali mau menyatakan merdeka hanya gara-gara RUU tersebut. Apalagi RUU itu memang tidak dominan berdasarkan kepentingan suatu agama, sebagaimana yang digembar-gemborkan selama ini. Demikian pesan pendek yang justrui panjang lebar itu. ''Justru yang mau diatur adalah budaya masyarakat Indonesia yang kini sudah tercemar,'' kata Balkan. Meski disambut demo aneh-aneh -- antara lain dengan adanya tari yang cenderung erotis -- Balkan memang tidak pantas bingung. Persoalannya, sebelum melakukan kunjungan ke Bali itu, pansus telah menerima banyak masukan tertulis dari masyarakat Bali. Sejumlah tokoh Bali dan DPD KNPI Bali bahkan menyerahkan usulan tertulis, yang intinya menyetujui RUU tersebut, seraya memberi sejumlah masukan. ''Jadi, aneh jika mereka yang dari luar itu justru meributkan,'' kata Balkan. Tokoh masyarakat yang lain, Jero Wijaya, menganggap penolakan sejumlah elemen masyarakat Bali terhadap RUU itu tidak lebih dari ikut-ikutan. Dari apa yang dilihatnya di lapangan, Wijaya yakin tidak semua dari mereka memahami isi dan makna RUU tersebut. Mantan anggota DPRD Kabupaten Bangli itu tidak menampik, bila yang banyak bersuara di Bali saat ini memang dari kalangan yang kontra. Padahal, ia melihat masyarakat Bali sendiri terpecah ke dalam tiga sikap besar sehubungan RUU tersebut. Selain mereka yang menolak secara total dengan meminta DPR membatalkan pengesahan RUU itu, kelompok kedua adalah kalangan yang meminta revisi atas sejumlah pasal. ''Kelompok ketiga adalah kalangan yang mendukung secara total pemberlakuan RUU APP. Saya termasuk di antaranya,'' kata dia. Dukungan Wijaya bukan tanpa alasan. Ia mengajak masyarakat Bali tidak menutup mata akan begitu banyaknya perilaku masyarakat yang menyimpang dan dipertontonkan di depan umum. Misalnya, kata Jero Wijaya, makin lazimnya orang berciuman terbuka di ruang tunggu keberangkatan Bandara Ngurah Rai, mengenakan bikini ke pusat perbelanjaan. ''Itu jelas bukan budaya Bali,'' kata dia. Bila hal seperti itu dibiarkan terus berkembang, mau tidak mau budaya Bali akan diselewengkan. Berkaitan dengan pariwisata yang selalu dijadikan alasan pihak yang kontra, Jero Wijaya justru mengajak mereka cerdas bertanya, mau ke mana pariwisata Bali akan dibawa. ''Tidak seharusnya Bali menjual seks sebagai pariwisata. Pertahankan pariwisata budaya serta pariwisata spiritual,'' kata Wijaya. Menurut dia, justru itulah yang dicari para wisatawan di Bali selama ini. Wijaya juga mengusulkan untuk diadakannya semacam survei. Survei itu harus mendata berapa banyak turis datang ke Bali karena menginginkan seks bebas. Berapa pula yang datang untuk menikmati aneka budaya yang ada. ''Jangan lupa, cari mana yang lebih besar pengeluarannya selama di Bali.'' Wijaya juga menyayangkan pernyataan Wagub Bali, Alit Kelakan, yang menyatakan bahwa masyarakat Bali secara bulat menolak RUU itu saat dengar pendapat dengan pansus yang datang ke sana. ''Itu tidak bijaksana,'' kata Wijaya. Sebagaimana warga Bali, sikap masyarakat Papua dan Batam seolah terpecah. Berlainan dengan apa yang digembar-gemborkan selama ini, ternyata kedua daerah itu menyambut positif. Alasan mereka sederhana, pornografi dan pornoaksi sudah sedemikian meracuni anak-anak Papua dan Batam. ''Hadirnya undang-undang diharapkan bisa mengubah citra Kota Batam,'' kata Balkan. Sikap serupa juga datang dari mayoritas lembaga yang dimintai pandangan oleh pansus. Dari ke-167 lembaga pemberi masukan itu, pansus memilah antara pihak yang setuju dan kontra RUU APP. Dari jumlah itu, 144 lembaga

Since most strong opinions can be construed as insulting (hurting someone's feelings), no insults means no free speech. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucjl/20060306/cm_ucjl/freespeechontheruninthewest;_ylt=A86.I2qT7AtEYBIA3Qz9wxIF;_ylu=X3oDMTBjMHVqMTQ4BHNlYwN5bnN1YmNhdA-- === US Troops on Spy Missions All Over the World TEAMS of special operations troops are reportedly being placed in a growing number of American embassies in unstable parts of the world to gather intelligence on terrorists. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,18391555%255E663,00.html === At last, the warmongers are prepared to face the facts and admit they were wrong It has taken more than three years, tens of thousands of Iraqi and American lives, and $200bn (£115bn) of treasure - all to achieve a chaos verging on open civil war.

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === How Islamic inventors changed the world Published: 11 March 2006 (Independent UK) From coffee to cheques and the three-course meal, the Muslim world has given us many innovations that we take for granted in daily life. As a new exhibition opens, Paul Vallely nominates 20 of the most influential- and identifies the men of genius behind them 1 The story goes that an Arab named Khalid was tending his goats in the Kaffa region of southern Ethiopia, when he noticed his animals became livelier after eating a certain berry. He boiled the berries to make the first coffee. Certainly the first record of the drink is of beans exported from Ethiopia to Yemen where Sufis drank it to stay awake all night to pray on special occasions. By the late 15th century it had arrived in Mecca and Turkey from where it made its way to Venice in 1645. It was brought to England in 1650 by a Turk named Pasqua Rosee who opened the first coffee house in Lombard Street in the City of London. The Arabic qahwa became the Turkish kahve then the Italian caffé and then English coffee. 2 The ancient Greeks thought our eyes emitted rays, like a laser, which enabled us to see. The first person to realise that light enters the eye, rather than leaving it, was the 10th-century Muslim mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al-Haitham. He invented the first pin-hole camera after noticing the way light came through a hole in window shutters. The smaller the hole, the better the picture, he worked out, and set up the first Camera Obscura (from the Arab word qamara for a dark or private room). He is also credited with being the first man to shift physics from a philosophical activity to an experimental one. 3 A form of chess was played in ancient India but the game was developed into the form we know it today in Persia. From there it spread westward to Europe - where it was introduced by the Moors in Spain in the 10th century - and eastward as far as Japan. The word rook comes from the Persian rukh, which means chariot. 4 A thousand years before the Wright brothers a Muslim poet, astronomer, musician and engineer named Abbas ibn Firnas made several attempts to construct a flying machine. In 852 he jumped from the minaret of the Grand Mosque in Cordoba using a loose cloak stiffened with wooden struts. He hoped to glide like a bird. He didn't. But the cloak slowed his fall, creating what is thought to be the first parachute, and leaving him with only minor injuries. In 875, aged 70, having perfected a machine of silk and eagles' feathers he tried again, jumping from a mountain. He flew to a significant height and stayed aloft for ten minutes but crashed on landing - concluding, correctly, that it was because he had not given his device a tail so it would stall on landing. Baghdad international airport and a crater on the Moon are named after him. 5 Washing and bathing are religious requirements for Muslims, which is perhaps why they perfected the recipe for soap which we still use today. The ancient Egyptians had soap of a kind, as did the Romans who used it more as a pomade. But it was the Arabs who combined vegetable oils with sodium hydroxide and aromatics such as thyme oil. One of the Crusaders' most striking characteristics, to Arab nostrils, was that they did not wash. Shampoo was introduced to England by a Muslim who opened Mahomed's Indian Vapour Baths on Brighton seafront in 1759 and was appointed Shampooing Surgeon to Kings George IV and William IV. 6 Distillation, the means of separating liquids through differences in their boiling points, was invented around the year 800 by Islam's foremost scientist, Jabir ibn Hayyan, who transformed alchemy into chemistry, inventing many of the basic processes and apparatus still in use today - liquefaction, crystallisation, distillation, purification, oxidisation, evaporation and filtration. As well as discovering sulphuric and nitric acid, he invented the alembic still, giving the world intense rosewater and other perfumes and alcoholic spirits (although drinking them is haram, or forbidden, in Islam). Ibn Hayyan emphasised systematic experimentation and was the founder of modern chemistry. 7 The crank-shaft is a device which translates rotary into linear motion and is central to much of the machinery in the modern world, not least the internal combustion engine. One of the most important mechanical inventions in the history of humankind, it was created by an ingenious Muslim engineer called al-Jazari to raise water for irrigation. His 1206 Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices shows he also invented or refined the use of valves and pistons, devised some of the first mechanical clocks driven by water and weights, and was the father of robotics. Among his 50 other inventions was

[media-dakwah] British soldiers disguised as Iraqis try to plant bomb by Islamic Party headquarters in al-Basrah
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Al-Basrah Province. Al-Basrah. British soldiers disguised as Iraqis try to plant bomb by Islamic Party headquarters in al-Basrah, in further apparent effort to spark sectarian civil war in Iraq. The Iraqi puppet police in the southern Iraqi city of al-Basrah arrested three British soldiers disguised as Iraqis who were trying to plant explosives near the headquarters of the collaborationist so-called Islamic Party of Iraq, a Sunni party that was formed after the US occupation on the basis of the Iraqi Muslim Brotherhood organization. The arrest took place on Thursday night, 9 March 2006, according to the al-Basrah correspondent for Quds Press. Iraqi puppet security sources said that a patrol of Iraqi puppet police arrested three individuals who were planting an explosive device near the headquarters of the so-called Islamic Party. After an investigation of the men it was determined that they were British troops disguised in Arab dress. The source added, British forces then arrested that Iraqi group that had the three Britons with them. The British troops released their own men but kept the Iraqi puppet police patrol in British custody, Quds Press reported. The incident brought to mind a similar event that also took place in al-Basrah on an earlier occasion when a number of British troops disguised as Iraqis were caught by local puppet police on 19 September 2005 while trying to plant a bomb at a Shi'i shrine in the city. Such attacks, and others where the perpetrators are unknown but the targets are civilian Sunni or Shi'i Iraqis, are widely viewed as a part of an Anglo-American effort to rescue their failing fortunes in Iraq by sparking a sectarian civil war in the country enabling them to fulfill their plans of partitioning the Iraq along ethnic and religious lines.

Not all Arabs and Asians are happy with the victorious Islamists, either. It is important to interpret correctly why the Islamists are winning, and what they really represent. http://www.agenceglobal.com/article.asp?id=842 === Humanity Suffers the Savagery of the American Empires Post 9/11 Worldview Pink Slips Abound for Prosecutors and Therapists Karl Rove, the mastermind of Bush IIs ascension to Americas seat of power, is a man of great distinction. Despite his decidedly porcine features, Mr. Roves Machiavellian lust for power, narcissistic lack of empathy, sycophantic devotion to the Bush crime family, deceitful nature, and conniving mind coalesce to leave the Prince looking like a pauper. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12383.htm === 9/11: Bush administration renews preemptive war strategy The National Security Strategy document released Thursday by the White House reaffirms the prerogative of the United States to take preemptive actions to counter possible threats from alleged enemies. When it was first unveiled in September 2002, the Bush administrations doctrine of preemptive war was generally seen as an attempt to justify the impending invasion of Iraqa country that posed absolutely no real or foreseeable, let alone imminent, threat to the United States. The doctrine was widely condemned outside the United States as advancing a policy for which there exists no foundation in international law. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/mar2006/nsec-m17.shtml === 9/11: Doctors attack US over Guantanamo More than 250 medical experts have signed a letter condemning the US for force-feeding prisoners on hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The experts, from seven nations, said physicians at the prison had to respect inmates' right to refuse treatment. The letter, in the medical journal The Lancet, said doctors who used restraints and force-feeding should be punished by their professional bodies. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4790742.stm === Basic Statistics for United States Imperialism http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/usinterventionism.html === American Megalomania Our 'national security strategy' is crazed nonsense.What the U.S. government is saying, here, is that it has abandoned the traditional behavior of ordinary nation-states throughout history. This is generally understood to be the preservation and protection its own national interests, somewhat narrowly defined as the defense of its territory and such ancillary overseas interests as are directly related to its continued survival as a nation. But the Americans have now abandoned that paradigm, and are seemingly intent on adopting the old Soviet model, at least the one that predominated in the immediate aftermath of the 1917 Bolshevik coup, in which the Communist International was proclaimed from the rooftops and the leaders of the Russian state routinely referred to their intention to overthrow world capitalism. http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=8718 === It's far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them.

Instead, the independent Brussels-based grouping blames the violence on political frustration and social deprivation among Muslim communities and the heavy-handed tactics adopted by French police in deprived suburbs. http://news.monstersandcritics.com/europe/article_1136642.php/French_riots_not_fired_by_Islamists International Crisis Group website: http://www.crisisgroup.org Study at: http://www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?id=4014l=1 === Simple Math demonstrate that the Official 9/11 Account is a Fabrication The term official 9/11 account refers to the account of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, as presented in June 2004 by the Commission of Inquiry appointed by President George W. Bush, and complemented by other official documents issued by US government agencies. This account includes various details, such as identities of the alleged hijackers, identities of aircraft, timelines and other data used to prove that the crime of 9/11 was perpetrated by the named individuals under the orders or the inspiration of Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders. http://wakeupfromyourslumber.blogspot.com/2006/03/simple-math-demonstrate-that-official.html === The real meaning of 9/11 There is a rush to replace the World Trade Center with something or other but inaction to replace the houses of the hundreds of thousands who lost their homes to Hurricane Katrina. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article12399.htm === 9/11: Bush claims he can violate detainee rights at Gitmo The Bush administration argued Friday that a newly enacted law wipes out hundreds of pending court cases by detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who are challenging their confinement. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8276.shtml === 9/11: The Torture Judge U.S. court rules our government can break international laws to keep us safe. Oh, well that makes it all right then! http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0611,hentoff,72497,6.html === 9/11: Who's really locked up in Guantanamo? Last week, under court order, the Pentagon released the transcripts of several hundred hearings held to decide whether Guantanamo prisoners were in fact enemy combatants. Classified evidence was deleted, but what emerges is how insignificant most of these prisoners are. Fewer than half were caught on battlefields in Afghanistan or by U.S. troops. A majority were turned over by Pakistan (often for cash bounties). Few combatants are even accused of having fought. Many are held simply because they were living in a house associated with the Taliban or working for a charity linked to the group. http://fairuse.100webcustomers.com/fairenough/latimes078.html === The Meaning of Free Speech The flap over a Colorado high-school geography teacher illustrates two faults in American society today. One: Talk radio and talk television have taken on the role of rabble-rousers who routinely incite the mobs over any trivial matter. Two: People still obviously believe in word magic. The teacher, Jay Bennish, said in a lecture in his geography course that there were some similarities between President Bush's last State of the Union speech and speeches Adolf Hitler used to make. http://www.lewrockwell.com/reese/reese267.html === Can a Scientist Believe in God? Can a scientist believe in God? Absolutely. And recent surveys indicate that about 40 percent do, Francis Collins, co-director of the team to locate the gene for cystic fibrosis told tae.

He earned an S.B. in physics from the University of Chicago (Phi Beta Kappa) and a Ph.D. in biophysics from Stanford. He was a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley; a visiting scholar at Oxford; and a postdoctoral fellow at nasa-Ames Research Center. Since the publication of the book he co-wrote, Biochemical Predestination, he has been an authority in chemical evolutionary theory. But one semester at San Francisco State University, he included 3 lectures (out of 27) on the Bible and the origins of life, for which he was removed from teaching introductory lecture courses. Only under pressure from the university's Academic Freedom Committee, the Academic Senate, and the American Association of University Professors was Kenyon reinstated. http://www.taemag.com/issues/articleID.17083/article_detail.asp === Number Of Iraqi Civilians Slaughtered In America's War?

They included an aircraft which left the Afghan capital Kabul and landed in Edinburgh in November 2002 before continuing its journey to Washington. http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,1733726,00.html see also: http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/rendition/0,,1662557,00.html === Why Many Media Oulets and NGO's Stay Silent The military-industrial complex is elephantine, yet it is rarely taken into account by political commentators. Connected to almost everything, it is one reason why the home front sustains our aggressive, illegal, military interventions and occupations throughout the world. Many good people are in thrall to the military-industrial complex, and consequently are silenced, unwilling to become active opponents. These include liberals, social justice advocates, and even professional soldiers who question our illegal interventions. There are, of course, some protesters in our nation, but not enough to make militarism the main issue in Congressional and Presidential elections, or to give the subject much visibility on a daily basis. http://www.counterpunch.org/roelofs01252006.html === If Bush ruled the world PARIS Intellectual poverty is the most striking quality of the Bush administration's new National Security Strategy statement, issued on Thursday. Its overall incoherence, its clichés and stereotyped phraseology give the impression that Stephen Hadley, the national security adviser, and his fellow authors assembled it from the boilerplate of bureaucratic discourse with contempt for the Congress to whom it is primarily addressed. It reveals the administration's foreign policy as a lumpy stew of discredited neoconservative ideas with some neo- Kissingerian geopolitics now mixed in. The statement's only visible purpose is to address a further threat to Iran, as its predecessor, in 2002, threatened Iraq. The only actual strategy that can be deduced from it is that the Bush administration wishes to rule the world. The document is nonsensical in content, insulting to other nations and unachievable in declared intention. http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/03/19/news/edoped.php === Killing Children: The My Lai phase of the Iraq war What goes through George Bushs mind when he sees the dead bodies of Iraqi women and children loaded on the back of a pickup truck like garbage?

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Are the Perpetrators of 911 still the 19 Arab Hijackers? Watch These Videos for answers by Meer Sahib - March 21, 2006 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Dear Friends: If a man in the street was asked the question: Who do you think attacked America on Sept 11?, what would be his immediate answer? It would be : Don't you know, it is the Arabs!. While the masses have believed this story, the inquiring minds have been asking many questions, and investigating painstakingly to discover the truth. After all, 911 is a major milestone in modern history. The attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq were justified, simply, by the allegation that the 911 attackers were 19 Arabs belonging to Al-Qaeda. New laws targeting Arabs and Muslims have been enacted in western countries. And there is widespread hate against Arabs and Muslims. Would any civilized society accept hanging a wrong man for a murder he may not have committed? The judicial process would take years of investigation cross-examination of witnesses, and iron clad proof, to sentence a person. The Bible commands believers to search for truth before passing judgement: Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you Deu 13:14 And the Qura'n exhorts : O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well- acquainted with all that ye do. (4:135) and again :O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.(5:8) But, in the case of a very complex crime like the 911, it took the neo-con driven US government less than 48 hours to determine the guilty party. Soon, there were cries for blind justice. They said go and bomb somebody, any body!. Then, many innocent people were mercilessly massacred, for a crime they had no knowledge of. The story of the 19 Arab hijackers has been repeated so many times, day and night, that most people, from politicians to priests, and the common man, blindly accept it as historical fact. But, the fair-minded people in the west are not going to accept such hoaxes, no matter how elaborate they are. So, scientists, professors, former fighter pilots, aeronautical engineers, structural engineers, investigative journalists and other intellectuals have spent much time to unravel the mystery behind 911. For, not only the 911 spelled murder for Arabs and Muslims (a.k.a 'war on terror'), but the western intellectuals also recognized that 911 was the pretext the ruling elite needed to curtail the common man's freedoms and civil rights. You are of course free to continue to believe what you already believe. But your curiosity may impel you to see the work of these intellectuals. Perhaps, then, you might say, I don't want to be part of this massive crime. I want my soldiers to come home and stop this war of terror on innocent people. You can either watch these documentaries on line or download into your hard disk and then burn a DVD using Nero or Roxio or any other DVD burning programs. Pls do share this with your friends and colleagues: There are numerous books and documentaries, but I recommend these two: (1) http://tinyurl.com/layem This documentary, Perspective 9-11 is an insight research on the story behind the 9-11 attack. (2) http://tinyurl.com/bzg64 Loose Change Here are some commentaries: Loose Change is an extremely hard hitting, heavily referenced documentary. It has the best footage that I have seen to date, of all the bombs and explosions going off at the World Trade Center. He covers each individual aspect of 9/11 in keen detail, and after watching 'Loose Change' it is almost impossible to walk away and not believe that 9/11 was engineered, not by Osama, but by our own Government. This film shows direct connection between the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the United States government. Evidence is derived from news footage, scientific fact, and most important, Americans who suffered through that tragic day. IT IS THE DUTY OF EVERY AMERICAN TO VIEW THIS FILM!

Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Negroponte are alumna of those conflicts (which, according to Cheney, succeeded quite admirably) so it's probable that they would apply what they have learned about counterinsurgency to the ongoing war in Iraq.

Earlier this month, following a Senate hearing, Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced that the U.S. would turn over control of Abu Ghraib to the Iraqi government.

[media-dakwah] FWD: Discussion regarding terrorist
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === From: mailto:Muhamad HanafiahMuhamad Hanafiah Subject: Discussion regarding terrorist (Dr. Danial bin Zainal Abidin (M.B.Ch.B. University of Alexandria) is the Managing Director of Danial Zainal Consultancy based in Penang Island, Malaysia. This Consultancy focussed on education and research. He is also a Medical Practitioner based in Penang Island, Malaysia. Besides that he is also an author who, until now, has written altogether ten books. As a motivator, he gives motivation weekly through Mutiara FM (Penang Island Broadcasting Station). He is also a columnist for i-Magazine in Malaysia.) John (J): Dr Danial (DD), I always wonder why prophet Muhammad taught Muslims to become terrorists. He should teach people to be kind and tolerant. DD: Actually John, your concept about Islam and Muhammad is wrong. Completely wrong. Prophet Muhammad never taught his followers to be terrorists. On the contrary, it was the Muslims who were being terrorised by the non Muslims in the era of prophet Muhammad. For 13 years in Mecca, after being prophet of Islam, Muhammad and the Muslims were harassed and tortured by the Quraisyites. The companions of the prophet, for example, Yasser and Sumayyyah, were killed. The others, for example, Bilal and Ammar, were tortured. And yet the Muslims at that time were asked to be patient and persevere. They were not allowed to fight and raise arms against the non Muslims. Once prophet Muhammad went to Taif to preach about Islam. He got a cold reception from the people there. There cursed him and as if it was not enough, they threw stones and filth towards him. When the Archangel Jibril came to him to get his permission to demolish the people of Taif, prophet Muhammad said, Leave them alone. Yes, today the people ignored my message. But I pray that their progeny will be a different group of people. I pray that they will accept Islam. Are these acts and words of terrorism John? John: But there are verses in the Quran that promote terrorism. These verses instigate the Muslims to kill the non Muslims all over the world. If I am not mistaken, the meaning of one of the verses is, And kill the non Muslims whereever they are. DD: Oh, you are quoting the verses from the Quran. If that's the case, you should allow me to quote a few verses from your Bible and Talmud. In Numbers 31:17-18, it was stated, Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves. And in Luke 19:26-27, I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence. How about one more verse from Matthew 10:34-35, Do not think that I have come to send peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword. I am sent to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. To me these verses are very dangerous. They can instigate people especially the christians to do acts of terrorism! And please allow me also to quote from the holy book of the Jews, that is the Talmud. I suppose you know that the Talmud is Judaism's holiest book. Its authority takes precedence over the Old Testament in Judaism. It is stated in Sanhedrin 58b, If a heathen (i.e. non-Jew) hits a Jew, the gentile must be killed. And In Sanhedrin 57a, When a Jew murders a gentile ('Cuthean'), there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep. And John, have you read a book written by A. Hoffman II and Alan R. Critchley titled Judaism's Strange God? John: Err, no. DD: Never mind. A. Hoffman II and Alan R. Critchley recently did a thorough research on the contents of the Talmud and what they found surprised them. In their book, Judaism's Strange God, they said, 'On the surface, it seems that genocide is advocated by the Talmud. In the Minor Tractates, Soferim 15, Rule 10, there is a saying by Rabbi Simon ben Yohai, 'Tob shebe goyyim harog,' which means, 'even the best of the gentiles (i.e. non-Jews) should all be killed.' This passage is taken from the original Hebrew of the Babylonian Talmud as quoted by the 1907 Jewish Encyclopaedia. Israelis annually take part in a national pilgrimage to the grave of Simon ben Yohai, to honour this rabbi who advocated the extermination of non-Jews.' John, you will agree with me that these verses look very, very violent indeed John: But Dr. Danial, I think these verses, especially from the Bible, are taken out of context. If you read just the text it may look very violent. But if we read the text in relation with its context, it

War and terrorism take a back seat in this characteristically erudite, breathless and unrelenting look at trends in recent U.S. politics and economics.

US occupation forces in Iraq struggle just to defend their bases and vulnerable supply lines.

If it is proved that they died in a rampage by the Marines, and not as a result of collateral damage, it would rank as the worst case of deliberate killing of Iraqi civilians by US armed forces since the invasion three years ago. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article353678.ece === Disaster: US forces murder followers of Muqtada al-Sadr 18 Reported Killed in Iraq Mosque Clash 18 Reported Killed in Mosque Clash Involving U.S., Iraqi Forces; 40 Policemen Arrested in Raid http://abcnews.go.com/International/print?id=1769965 === Haditha and My Lai: Same Killer Dynamic In late November, 1969, Time, Life and Newsweek magazines reported extensively on the My Lai massacre, the premeditated murder of 500 civilians in the Quang Ngai Province of South Vietnam.

For example, from Panama, correspondent Fausto Triana reported on March 23 that Florentín Meléndez, second vice president of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission (CIDH) and the special raconteur for torture and maltreatment in prisons, qualified the U.S. prison on the Guantánamo Naval Base as a black hole and affirmed that the world clamor to close that penitentiary is a legitimate one. The Pentagon is holding around 490 terrorism suspects in Guantánamo, whom it considers illegal combatants, thus not affording them the condition of prisoners of war.

The evidence is too overwhelming that we do not hesitate to support dictators and install puppet governments when it serves our interests. When democratic elections result in the elevation of a leader or party not to our liking, we do not hesitate for a minute to undermine that government. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article12599.htm === HISTORY DISPELS THE LIES ABOUT ISLAM A well known technique in any propaganda war is the spreading of disinformation about your enemy. Disinformation is the new postmodern word for lies. If you repeat the same lies over and over again, listeners' critical thinking skills are numbed; and in the absence of any opposing argument, the lies eventually cannot be differentiated from truth. Islam has had many enemies over the centuries and still has. One of the most persistent lies repeated by its detractors is that Muslims spread their faith by the sword. http://www.canadianislamiccongress.com/support.php === Fox: Twisting logic to justify anti-American debauchery - Should We Torture People To Prevent Terror Attacks? Fox News continued their efforts to make jackbooted tyranny seem as normal as drinking a cup of coffee yesterday when it aired a segment asking if Zacarias Moussaoui should have been tortured in order to prevent 9/11. Cavuto stand-in David Asman acted as devil's advocate while convicted criminal Oliver North played the 'good cop' in a completely framed debate. North argued that we shouldn't torture but should use 'harsh interrogation methods'. For example, you say, If you don't answer me, I'm going to take you out and shoot you. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/infowarsnews/message/818 Click here (http://prisonplanet.com/audio/290306asmantorture.mp3) to listen to the audio.

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll found that 46 percent of Americans hold negative perceptions of Islam, 7 percentage points higher than after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The poll also discovered that a third of the respondents have recently heard prejudiced comments against Muslims. Even more depressing is that one in four openly acknowledges harboring prejudice toward Muslims. Is this surprising? Unfortunately, it's not. The vilification of Islam and Muslims has been relentless among segments of the media and political classes for the last five years. http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/montereyherald/14196147.htm === Abdul Rahman case: Cheap political ploy serving Bush?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: That's correct. We had one report early on from another intelligence service that suggested that the lead hijacker, Mohamed Atta, had met with Iraqi intelligence officials in Prague, Czechoslovakia. And that reporting waxed and waned where the degree of confidence in it, and so forth, has been pretty well knocked down now at this stage, that that meeting ever took place. So we've never made the case, or argued the case that somehow Osama bin Laden [sic] was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming. But there -- that's a separate proposition from the question of whether or not there was some kind of a relationship between the Iraqi government, Iraqi intelligence services and the al Qaeda organization. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/03/20060329-2.html === Long Live The 9/11 Conspiracy!

Few of my friends dropped away but the list of acquaintances diminished, he wrote in Inside Out, a memoir of the blacklist. I appeared contaminated and they did not want to risk infection.

Dr. Robert Bowman, a man so decorated with medals and honors they could fill a patriotic Christmas tree, has joined the ranks of those who are declaring that the attacks on 9/11 were an inside job. As right wing world comes tumbling down, more prominent individuals are coming forward with their doubts and concerns with the official report. Some have little more than the powers of their own deduction, others are expert engineers and physicists. Dr. Bowman has inside knowledge of military protocal, and has stated that it is apparent to him that the massive military exercises that took place on September 11, 2001 were intentionally staged to confuse civil defenses. The person who headed those exercises?

The assumption that legally unenforceable assurances could ever provide effective safeguards against torture is dangerous, and Human Rights Watch called on the Council of Europe to reject altogether reliance on diplomatic assurances in such cases. http://hrw.org/english/docs/2006/04/03/eu13110_txt.htm === FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Reaction to Padilla Case: 'Enemy Combatants' Category Unconstitutional Amnesty International Disappointed that Supreme Court Will Not Consider Padilla Case (Washington, DC) - Statement of Curt Goering, Senior Deputy Executive Director for Policy and Programs for Amnesty International USA, following today's Supreme Court decision not to hear Jose Padilla's appeal challenging the 4th Circuit's decision that the President had authority to hold Padilla as an 'enemy combatant': http://www.commondreams.org/news2006/0403-05.htm === When vigilance undermines freedom of speech Vigilance can be carried too far. Having denounced American academics for supposedly making anti-semitic statements, the Anti-Defamation League last year levelled a similar charge at faculty in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. There is something peculiarly Kafkaesque about the idea of an American Jewish watchdog monitoring Israel for anti-semitism, yet once the mechanism and mindset exist, this is where the logic of vigilance leads: anti-semitism may be found anywhere. In fact, the intellectual climate in Israel is tougher-minded than in the US and the authorities at the Hebrew University simply took no notice. But brandishing the big stick of anti-semitism against all and sundry helps no one: it lumps together serious critique with crackpot ravings, does a signal disservice to those who really suffered from it in the past and stifles a badly needed debate within the US. There is no reason why the partnership between the US and Israel should not be susceptible to the same kind of cost-benefit analysis as any other area of policy. After all, no special relationship lasts forever: ask the Brits. http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net === Returning to the Scene of the Crime: War Crimes in Iraq http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040406L.shtml === When War Crimes Are Impossible http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040406B.shtml === DELUDED After the fall of Baghdad, three years ago, the United States military began a secret investigation of the decision-making within Saddam Husseins dictatorship.

Baca Catatan Akhir Pekan Adian Husaini ke 142 Oleh: Adian Husaini Pada tanggal 27 Maret 2006, Harian Republika memuat sebuah surat pembaca yang dikirim oleh KH A. Khalil Ridwan, seorang Ketua Majelis Ulama Indonesia. Surat ini sangat penting untuk diperhatikan, karena memberikan klarifikasi dan peringatan tentang upaya infiltrasi paham sekularisme-liberalisme ke pondok-pondok pesantren. Surat itu juga menyebutkan adanya sikap tegas dari pimpinan Badan Kerjasama Pondok Pesantren se-Indonesia (BKSPPI) yang memutus segala bentuk kerjasama dengan lembaga pengasong ide liberal ICIP (International Center for Islam and Pluralism) yang dipimpin Dr. M. Syafii Anwar. Tampaknya, selama ini, kerjasama itu hanya dilakukan oleh 'oknum' BKSPPI saja. Sebagai salah satu anggota Majlis Pimpinan BKSPPI, Kyai Khalil mengaku tidak tahu menahu tentang kerjasama tersebut, dan menyebut kerjasama itu sebagai sebuah kecelakaan dan bencana yang sedang menimpa organisasi BKSPPI. Ia juga menyatakan, kerjasama tersebut, sangat berbahaya bagi ketahanan aqidah umat. Alhamdulillah, kata Kyai Khalil, KH.Didin Hafiduddin sebagai ketua Presidium MP BKSPPI telah mengadakan rapat yang dihadiri oleh pengurus BKSPPI, pada Hari Rabu 22 Shafar 1427. Hasilnya: Memutuskan semua kerjasama antara BKSPPI dengan ICIP dan membatalkan kerjasama menerbitkan majalah AL-WASATHIYAH. Selanjutnya BKSPPI, tidak bertanggung jawab apabila majalah tersebut masih terbit. Kyai Khalil Ridwan mengimbau agar umat umat Islam dengan serius merapatkan barisan dan jangan mudah terbius oleh zukhrufalqoul (ucapan yang menipu) dari kalangan munafiqin yang mengasong-asongkan dagangan berupa syirik modern dalam bentuk faham atau aliran yang sudah diharamkan oleh MUI pada MUNAS 2005. Juga, khususnya kepada kalangan pondok Pesantren dan organisasi pondok pesantren, Kyai Betawi itu juga mengingatkan, agar mereka mewaspadai kemungkinan adanya infiltran yang sengaja disusupkan di lingkungan masing-masing. Demikian surat KH Khalil Ridwan di Harian Republika. Peringatan KH Khalil, yang juga pimpinan pesantren Husnayain, sebenarnya menyiratkan satu beban kepedihan yang sangat mendalam. Betapa tidak, di tengah-tengah tekanan dan beban ekonomi yang sedang dililit oleh kalangan pondok pesantren, datanglah agen-agen LSM asing yang menawarkan program-program dan dana yang menggiurkan. Tidak mudah untuk menolak hal semacam itu. Saat ini, dagangan yang laku dijual kepada Barat adalah menjual isu atau ide yang mengobok-obok Islam, seperti paham Pluralisme Agama, dekonstruksi konsep wahyu, kesetaraan gender, dekonstruksi syariah, dan sejenisnya. Isu-isu semisal pemberantasan kemiskinan dan advokasi hukum tidak begitu laku lagi dijual, sehingga LSM-LSM sejenis YLBHI pun tidak semakmur dulu, sebelum Perang Dingin berakhir. Simaklah sederetan nama LSM yang mendapat kucuran dana dari The Asia Foundation berikut ini: * Yayasan Desantara (Pluralisme agama, penerbit Majalah Syir'ah) * Lembaga Studi Agama dan Demokrasi (Elsad) (Pluralisme Agama dan Demokrasi) * Fahmina Institute - (Pluralisme Gender equality) * Indonesia Center for Civic Education - Demokrasi * International Center for Islam and Pluralism (ICIP) - (Pluralisme agama) * Indonesia Conference on Religion and Peace (Pluralisme agama) * Institut Arus Informasi (ISAI) (Pluralisme dan Jurnalisme) * Jaringan Islam Liberal (JIL) (Liberalisasi Pemikiran) * Paramadina (Pluralisme agama) * Pusat Studi Wanita UIN - (Gender equality) * Lembaga Kajian Agama dan Jender (LKAJ) - (Gender equality) * Lembaga Kajian Islam dan Sosial (LKiS) (Penerbitan buku-buku

Her pimps sent as many as 17 clients an evening through the door. A john could even pre-book the pretty young blonde for $1,000 a night, sometimes flying in and then flying out from a nearby airport. None of this happened in Bangkok or Costa Rica, places that have become synonymous with sex tourism and underage sex. It took place in Atlanta, the buckle of the U.S. Bible Belt, where the world's busiest passenger airport provides a cheaper, more convenient and safer underage sex destination for men seeking girls as young as 10. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/04042006/6/n-usa-sex-tourism-thriving-bible-belt.html === Canadian Professor promotes positive view of Islam A Muslim professor from London is helping people learn more about his religion because of recent events he says may have given Islam a negative public image. Dr. Munir El-Kassem is conducting a series of lectures on the life of the Prophet Mohammed, called Know this Man. He said he's committed to holding Sunday afternoon discussions for as long as it takes to make people really understand what it means to be Muslim.

David Ray Griffin: Theologian scoffed at 9/11 conspiracy theories, then looked closer When David Ray Griffin, noted theologian and professor emeritus at the Claremont School of Theology, first heard someone say that Sept. 11 was an inside job, he scoffed. Griffin began to delve into 9/11 conspiracy theories after looking at a time line of the events of Sept. 11, 2001 (by Paul Thompson, who later turned it into a book) on the Internet. He found himself swayed by the catalog of inconsistencies and strange coincidences. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/03/30/NSGB3HTBQ61.DTLhw=david%20ray%20griffinsn=001sc=1000 === 9/11: a 7-Man Job A common objection to the argument that 9/11 was an inside job is that the conspiracy would be too big to keep quiet. In other words, the argument is that it is impossible that so many people could have kept quiet for so long. SOMEONE would have talked or made a mistake, so that the conspiracy would have been discovered. http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2006/04/911-7-man-job.html === 9/11 Who provided protective coverage for 9/11 operation? On October 26, 1999, the famous golfer Payne Stewart boarded a private Learjet in Florida and left for Texas. Shortly after takeoff, Stewart's jet veered sharply off course and began heading northwest. All contact with air controllers was lost. Within 15 minutes of having gone off course, US fighter jets had already intercepted the jet. But on 9-11, the same NORAD which had so effortlessly intercepted Stewart's jet in 1999, was nowhere to be found during that two hour period between the first planes going off course and the last one crashing in a Pennsylvania field. http://www.aljazeera.com/cgi%2Dbin/conspiracy%5Ftheory/fullstory.asp?id=305 === AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PRESS RELEASE USA: Front companies used in secret flights to torture and disappearance Amnesty International today released a new report which exposes a covert operation whereby people have been arrested or abducted, transferred and held in secret or handed over to countries where they have faced torture and other ill-treatment.

The National Military Command Center (NMCC) inside the Pentagon was the nerve center of the military's response to the attacks on 9-11. But the lead military officer that day, Brigadier General Montague Winfield, told the commission that the center had been leaderless.For 30 minutes we couldn't find [Secretary Rumsfeld]. Where was Rumsfeld on 9-11? On June 1, 2001 the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff changed the rules so that requests for air intercepts had to come explicitly from the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld.

In other words, they were seeking money to run their operation, naturally. If anything, Capitol Hill Blue is far more mercenary, with banners everywhere, than some websites, Www.Strike-The-Root.com, for example, which features a 911 column occasionally and carries no advertising or banners ever.

Undeterred, the President stated in the ensuing State of the Union address that the yellowcake story was true.

[media-dakwah] Who is a terrorist?
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Who is a terrorist? By Gideon Levy The scenes from Gaza are heartbreaking. Heartbreaking? That's not for certain. The sight of the Aben family from Beit Lahiya mourning its 12-year-old daughter Hadil last week did not stir any particular shock in Israel. Nor did anyone take to the streets and protest over the sight of her wounded mother and little brother lying in shock on the floor of their shanty in Gaza. On the day Hadil Aben was killed, Yedioth Aharonoth carried a story about Nelly, the dog from Kibbutz Zikim that died of heart failure from the booming noise of the Israeli artillery firing into Gaza. Instead of expressions of sorrow at the death of children, the upper echelons of the defense establishment came out with a stream of strident statements. The defense minister said that the only thing to do was step up the pressure on the Palestinians. The deputy chief of staff spoke about a possible invasion of Gaza and the head of army operations added, what we've seen so far are only the previews. The IDF announced it would further reduce the safety range that is designed to avoid shells hitting the civilian population. It was a chilling, united chorus. Israel is dropping thousands of bombs on towns and villages, on the the launching pads of the Qassams - another dubious term created by the defense establishment and blindly adopted by the press - and only the Palestinians, whose Qassam rockets haven't killed anyone since the disengagement, are called terrorists. Nor was there any substantive debate after a possible slip of the tongue by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, in an interview to the BBC, in which she said that there was a difference between attacking civilians and attacking soldiers. Even though she did not resolutely stand by her own words in an interview with Channel 10, Livni dared to speak the truth: If harming civilians is a measure of terror, then Israel is a terror state. With 18 killed in Gaza alone in 12 days, three of them children, the absence of intent cannot suffice for us. Someone who uses artillery to shell population centers and says with horrific indifference that this is just a preview, as if it were another reality show on TV, cannot claim that he does not intend to kill children. Those responsible for such bombings around the world are rightfully considered war criminals. That's terror - just ask Livni. And when it is done in the name of a state, it is much worse than in those cases when the perpetrators are from rogue organizations. Israel declares it is striving to apply pressure with its cannon on the Palestinian population, so that it will prevent the Qassam fire. That is a hollow argument. No Palestinian leader can promote a cease-fire while dozens of civilians are being hurt. No Palestinian, no matter how peaceable, can prevent with his body the launches from inside Palestinian Authority territory. Could Hadil Aben's parents have done something? What exactly was the crime of these poor people? And how, exactly, will killing their daughter lead to a halt in the Qassams? The continuing imprisonment of besieged Gaza is precisely the opposite policy that should be applied to serve Israeli interests. The current policy only strengthens support for the Hamas, just like the terror attacks within Israel always strengthen the Israeli right. A nation under siege, its leadership boycotted, will have far more determination and resolve to fight to its last drop of blood. It is impossible to break the spirit of a desperate people. Only a nation that sees a light at the end of its desperation will change its ways. What would happen if Israel were to turn to the world and call upon it to enlist in the cause of support for the residents of Gaza, to donate and invest money to help them out of their utter poverty? If an Israeli prime minister did such a thing and at the same time called for a meeting with his elected Palestinian counterpart, it would create far more effective and positive pressure than any cannon fire. If the Palestinians only saw for the first time in their lives that Israel also had their well-being in mind, which is not necessarily bad for Israel, they would have a lot more to lose and they would expel the Qassam launchers themselves. Only the Palestinians can do that, and sowing the seeds of hope is the only way to do so. And if, in the current situation, the artillery fire were to end, and they were to stop the Qassams, would Israel ease the siege, enable freedom of movement from Gaza to the West Bank, allow Palestinians to work in Israel, agree to the construction of a seaport and airport in besieged Gaza? Israel's declarations prove that the answer to all these questions is an unequivocal no. Its current policy and the policies we have seen it adopt lead

[media-dakwah] The Most Evil People in the World
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === The Most Evil People in the World By Doug Soderstrom, Ph.D. 04/17/06 http://www.informationclearinghouse.infoICH -- -- I have come to the conclusion that the Christian fundamentalists, also known as the religious right, are the most evil people in the world. Others (such as those of various Islamic terrorist groups) were considered, but after due consideration, the Christians won . hands down. In fact it was no contest. However, in order to support my assertion that those of the religious right are such a nasty crew, it is necessary that I clarify what I believe it means to be evil. The minimal test of evil is, of course, one of awareness, an intent, an abject willingness to be malicious, a willingness to go out of ones way to harm others, a lack of concern for the welfare of another person, an unwillingness to place ones self into that of anothers shoes, a grudging reluctance to acknowledge the pain one may have caused another. Such is bad, but not as bad as having slipped to the point of having become psychically blind, effectively unable to face up to what one has done. Such is more depraved since it represents a loss of integrity, an existential unwillingness to take responsibility for ones behavior. And, of course, worst of all are those who go to the extreme of regarding themselves to be shining examples, paragons of how to live a good and decent life, while having chosen to disregard the fact that they have lived life in such a despicable manner. And as we will see, the Christian fundamentalists seem to exemplify such folks at the apogee of evil, the nadir of civilized life, in that they preach to the world while yet living the life of a barbarian! All of the great religions of the world indicate that we should strive to treat others as we would like for them to treat us, in essence suggesting that we follow the Golden Rule. However, considering this the gold standard for how we ought to live our lives, it is quite clear that Christian fundamentalists have missed the mark! Regardless of all the wonderful things they have claimed to have done for the world, it is apparent that the fundamentalists have been unable to live up to the most minimal standards for that of a decent life, almost as if they have gone out of their way to cast a speck out of their neighbors eye, while refusing to recognize the enormity of the plank in that of their own. With no apology, nor even a hint of remorse, they continue on their way running roughshod over others, with little or no concern for how their victims might feel. Rather than caring for others, disregard and disrespect has become that which defines them as a people. However, in order to understand the Christian fundamentalist, we must first take a look at what they believe. What is it that these folks, as fundamentalists, hold to be fundamental? What is it that they insist one must do in order to be saved? The answer is threefold: First, in order to be a Christian, a person must believe that the Bible (the holy scriptures) is the one and only infallible, truly inerrant, source of truth, and that the holy books of all other religions are of demonic origin; Secondly, one must believe in an afterlife, that every human being will end up in either Heaven or Hell. And finally, it is essential that one understand that in order to go to Heaven he must accept Jesus Christ (the one and only Son of God) as his own personal savior, otherwise, and without exception, regardless of how good a life he may have lived, he will be sent to the agonizing fires of an eternally burning Hell. That is their doctrine ... that is what they believe to be The Truth of God. Although not necessarily a fundamental, but as a result of their contention that the Bible indicates that all authority is given (and therefore inspired) by God, fundamentalists have been led to believe that it is unpatriotic, and therefore unchristian, to question the divine right of what our country has found it necessary to do . regardless of how heinous. That is why Christian fundamentalists have, by choice, chosen to disregard the fact that From 1945 to 2003, the United States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements fighting against intolerable systems. In the process, the U.S. bombed some 25 countries, caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair. (William Blum, Killing Hope). Thus, there is little doubt that if a Christian fundamentalist was forced to face the fact of what her country has done, she would have little choice but to reject her faith in God. For how would it be possible for one to believe in a God that chose to bless a country that has done such

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === George Bush: 'God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq' President told Palestinians God also talked to him about Middle East peace Ewen MacAskill Friday October 7, 2005 http://www.guardian.co.ukThe Guardian George Bush believes he is on a mission from God, according to Picture: George Bush believes he is on a mission from God, according to the politician Nabil Shaath. Photograph: Charles Dharapak/AP George Bush has claimed he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, according to a senior Palestinian politician in an interview to be broadcast by the BBC later this month. Mr Bush revealed the extent of his religious fervour when he met a Palestinian delegation during the Israeli-Palestinian summit at the Egpytian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, four months after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. One of the delegates, Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: President Bush said to all of us: 'I am driven with a mission from God'. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did. Mr Bush went on: And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East'. And, by God, I'm gonna do it. Mr Bush, who became a born-again Christian at 40, is one of the most overtly religious leaders to occupy the White House, a fact which brings him much support in middle America. Soon after, the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz carried a Palestinian transcript of the meeting, containing a version of Mr Bush's remarks. But the Palestinian delegation was reluctant publicly to acknowledge its authenticity. The BBC persuaded Mr Shaath to go on the record for the first time for a three-part series on Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy: Elusive Peace, which begins on Monday. Religion also surfaced as an issue when Mr Bush and Tony Blair were reported to have prayed together in 2002 at his ranch at Crawford, Texas - the summit at which the invasion of Iraq was agreed in principle. Mr Blair has consistently refused to admit or deny the claim. Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian prime minister, who was also part of the delegation at Sharm el-Sheikh, told the BBC programme that Mr Bush had said: I have a moral and religious obligation. I must get you a Palestinian state. And I will. Mr Shaath's comments came as Mr Bush delivered a speech yesterday aimed at bolstering US support for the Iraq war. He revealed that the US and its partners had disrupted at least 10 serious al-Qaida plots since September 11, including three planned attacks in the US. Because of this steady progress, the enemy is wounded - but the enemy is still capable of global operations, he said. He added that Islamic radicals had used a series of excuses to justify their attacks, from conflict with the Israelis to the Crusades 1,000 years ago. We're facing a radical ideology with unalterable objectives: to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world, he said. He conceded that al-Qaida, led in Iraq by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and other insurgents had gained ground in Iraq but the US would not leave until security had been established. Some observers also claim that America would be better off by cutting our losses and leaving Iraq now. This is a dangerous illusion, refuted with a simple question: Would the United States and other free nations be more safe, or less safe, with Zarqawi and Bin Laden in control of Iraq, its people, and its resources? Mr Bush asked. source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1586978,00.html === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

[media-dakwah] Science, Humanity and the Iraq Holocaust
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Science, Humanity and the Iraq Holocaust Gideon Polya http://www.uruknet.com/pic.php?f=genocidio.jpg genocidio.jpg Al-Jazeerah, April 15, 2006 This essay is a message of solidarity from an Australian scientist and writer sent to the Brussells Tribunal (see: http://www.brusselstribunal.org/http://www.brusselstribunal.org/ ) on the occasion of the Madrid International Seminar on the Assassination of Iraqi Academics and Health Professionals, 22-23 April 2006 (see: http://www.brusselstribunal.org/SeminarMadrid.htmhttp://www.brusselstribunal.org/SeminarMadrid.htm ). Sensible people want to change things for the better. Indeed that is how Man became sensible. The extraordinary intelligence of human beings evolved through the Darwinian selection of genetic variants who had improved survivability through enhanced ability to understand their environment and improve their circumstances. There was a trade-off, a price to be paid for the resultant increased brain size, and that was infant birth after 9 months gestation, the long-term helplessness of infants and their critical dependence on parents during postnatal brain development and enlargement. Associated with the co-evolution of increased intelligence and infant helplessness was evolution of survival-enhancing behavior patterns that resulted in our present behavioral fundamentals of parental affection, altruism and respect for Mother and Child. As cogently argued by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, Man also transmits behavior non-genetically from generation to generation through sets of learned behaviors, culture and ideas he describes as memes in contradistinction to the DNA-constructed genes. The DNA-based genes are mutated, shuffled through genetic recombination and sex and are thence subject to natural selection. In contrast, memes are passed on in oral and written traditions from generation to generation, are selected through societal success and can over-ride genetic behavioral imperatives. Thus gene- and meme-determined social behaviors relating to not killing and to doing unto others as you would have them do unto you were codified in writing as thou shall not kill but conflicting ideological memes relating to nationalism, racism and power readily overcome this fundamental imperative. Scientific approaches have dramatically improved Mans lot since the beginnings of sophisticated, agriculture-based civilization in the Fertile Crescent encompassing lands from Egypt to present-day Iraq. The scientific approach involves truth, reason, sensible communication and the critical testing of potentially falsifiable hypotheses. The scientific approach was implicit in the process whereby the earliest farmers carefully selected seed for sowing and applied a process of reiterated selection to eventually yield the cereal staples that became the mainstay of humanity. Lying, un-reason, censorship and fraud may serve narrow power interests but are ultimately self-defeating. Thus non-reportage of man-made mass mortality may serve the short-term interests of those responsible but simply ensures continuance of such catastrophes history ignored yields history repeated. Whether it is selecting better animal and plant breeds, developing better medical protocols or simply improving society generally, the basic approach involves minimizing risk. The best risk minimization protocol, which is applied most successfully in high risk areas such as heavy industry and aviation, successively involves (a) acquisition of information, (b) scientific analysis of the data, and (c) sensible systemic change to minimize risk. Unfortunately, in many areas of human activity this protocol is perverted by (a) lying by omission and commission, censorship, intimidation and self-censorship, (b) anti-scientific spin-based approaches involving the selective use of asserted facts to support a partisan position, and (c) blame and shame punishment of suitable victims with no sensible, risk-minimizing systemic change. The tragedy of post-colonial Iraq since the return of Western armies in 1990 illustrates the perversion of humanitarian values, scientific approaches and rational risk assessment. The bottom-line parameter in any discussion about social policy is the human cost. According to the latest, Web-accessible UN Population Division data (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/http://esa.un.org/unpp/ ) and UNICEF data (see: http://www.unicef.org/index.htmlhttp://www.unicef.org/index.html ), the under-5 infant deaths per 1,000 births in oil-rich Iraq versus impoverished Syria were 200 vs 170 (1953), 50 vs 44 (1990) and 125 vs 16 (sixteen) (2004) i.e. infant mortality decreased enormously under the dictator Saddam Hussein but increased hugely after 1990 due to Western intervention.

By Anneliese Fikentscher and Andreas Neumann Translation to English: Erik Appleby NOTE: An analysis of media rhetoric on its way to war against Iran - Commenting on the alleged statements of Iran's President Ahmadinejad . It's becoming clear. The statements of the Iranian President have been reflected by the media in a manipulated way. Iran's President betokens the removal of the regimes, that are in power in Israel and in the USA, to be possible aim for the future. This is correct.

That's a threat, a serious threat. It's a threat to world peace; it's a threat, in essence, to a strong alliance. I made it clear, I'll make it clear again, that we will use military might to protect our ally, Israel, and -- (applause.) George W. Bush, US-President, 2006-03-20 in Cleveland (Ohio) in an off-the-cuff speech (source: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/03/20060320-7.htmlwww.whitehouse.gov) But why does Bush speak of Iran's objective to destroy Israel? Does Iran's President wants Israel wiped off the map? To raze Israel to the ground, to batter down, to destroy, to annihilate, to liquidate, to erase Israel, to wipe it off the map - this is what Iran's President demanded - at least this is what we read about or heard of at the end of October 2005. Spreading the news was very effective. This is a declaration of war they said. Obviously government and media were at one with their indignation. It goes around the world. But let's take a closer look at what Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said. It is a merit of the 'New York Times' that they placed the complete speech at our disposal. Here's an excerpt from the publication dated 2005-10-30: They say it is not possible to have a world without the United States and Zionism. But you know that this is a possible goal and slogan. Let's take a step back. [[[We had a hostile regime in this country which was undemocratic, armed to the teeth and, with SAVAK, its security apparatus of SAVAK [the intelligence bureau of the Shah of Iran's government] watched everyone. An environment of terror existed.]]] When our dear Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Iranian revolution] said that the regime must be removed, many of those who claimed to be politically well-informed said it was not possible. All the corrupt governments were in support of the regime when Imam Khomeini started his movement. [[[All the Western and Eastern countries supported the regime even after the massacre of September 7 [1978] ]]] and said the removal of the regime was not possible. But our people resisted and it is 27 years now that we have survived without a regime dependent on the United States. The tyranny of the East and the West over the world should have to end, but weak people who can see only what lies in front of them cannot believe this. Who would believe that one day we could witness the collapse of the Eastern Empire? But we could watch its fall in our lifetime. And it collapsed in a way that we have to refer to libraries because no trace of it is left. Imam [Khomeini] said Saddam must go and he said he would grow weaker than anyone could imagine. Now you see the man who spoke with such arrogance ten years ago that one would have thought he was immortal, is being tried in his own country in handcuffs and shackles [[[by those who he believed supported him and with whose backing he committed his crimes]]]. Our dear Imam said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. Is it possible to create a new front in the heart of an old front. This would be a defeat and whoever accepts the legitimacy of this regime [Israel] has in fact, signed the defeat of the Islamic world. Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime. I have no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world.

Bush famously proclaimed that he didn't have to ask anyone's permission to defend America. Does that mean he can attack Iran without having to ask Congress?

Islam has been a hot topic in the Netherlands since the killing of a controversial film-maker, Theo van Gogh, by a young Muslim in 2004. In a country traditionally seen as one of the most liberal and tolerant in Europe, Islam and Muslims are now viewed with suspicion. The report is the fruit of three years' work by the Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR), a think-tank in The Hague which advises the government. It examines the evolution of thinking about democracy and human rights in a dozen Muslim countries, ranging from Egypt and Iran to Indonesia. Jan Schoonenboom, a member of the council who supervised the research, says it highlights the variety and dynamism of Islamic activism. While there are radical, jihadi trends, there are also more mainstream Islamic movements which are moving, albeit slowly, towards democratisation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4930518.stm === Is U.S. being transformed into a radical republic?

Let's break this down. * 1. The very companies that love Bush love the cheap labor illegal immigrants provide. * 2. Tax cuts mean nothing if our currency is worthless. * 3. Bragging about the 'glimmer of success' in Iraq is really hysterical. The only success has been the financial success of companies like Haliburton, 3 years into this conflict, with no end in sight. It certainly can never be a military success, because there were never enough boots on the ground to insure that was going to happen (Shinseki told Rumsfeld the truth, but Rumsfeld just wanted to stay in his own comfort/fantasyzone) * 4. Playing 'tough' on Iran. Now, just what does that mean? A pre-emptive strike, to which the Iranians will counter-attack, with our troops the sitting ducks/sacrificial lambs in Iraq? * 5. Court the press? As though the press in this country wasn't just another outlet for the Aministration's spin? Please. And remember, there is no FCC law compelling the talking heads on radio or television to tell the truth.

[media-dakwah] The new reality
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === The new reality Faisal Bodi April 24, 2006 Since the beginning of April Israeli troops have killed more than 30 Palestinians, six of them children. The scale of the Israeli slaughter is three times the toll exacted by last week's Islamic Jihad bombing of a restaurant in Tel Aviv. That's not to seek a moral justification for the killing of civilians in some league table of suffering. Rather it is to highlight the double standard in international calls for the new Hamas-led government to renounce violence while Israel continues its killings. Viewed against this backdrop, history will no doubt record the EU's attempt to blackmail Hamas as a missed opportunity, and another stride towards the brewing clash of civilisations. Western rejection is already forcing Hamas to look to its natural Muslim hinterland for support. Last week I heard its big guns blazing at a conference in support of al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Palestinian rights. While commentators in the west speculated over a Hamas shift in stance towards recognising Israel, the message from the podium couldn't have been more explicit. No recognition of Israel, no return to negotiations with Israel under the current status quo, and no laying down of arms. They were the words of Ahmed Bahar, the deputy speaker of the Palestinian parliament in a presentation which even stirred the normally timid delegates from Qatar into vigorous applause. And there was little love lost for Europe. Hamas' political bureau chief Khalid Meshal saw the EU's suspension of aid to the new Palestinian government as evidence that the West wants to crush the will of the Palestinian people. Islamic nations know their responsibilities, he told the conference in a thinly-veiled appeal for funds that was met with a US$50 million pledge by Tehran, and followed by a similar announcement from Doha. Next to Mishal sat Ramadan Shalla, the leader of Palestine's other Islamic movement, Islamic Jihad. He was no less equivocal. Even if we are taken to the altar and beheaded we cannot recognise these people (the Zionists). And his reasoning? Recognising Israel means the victim giving in to the aggressor and usurper and saying that Palestine is not our land, it is not an Arab or Islamic country. The sentiments were by no means confined to the radicals. The speaker of the Malaysian senate, Abdul Hamid Pawanteh, saw the western reaction to Hamas' win as a gauntlet to the Muslim world and called on it to recognise and support the elected Palestinian government. Judging from the tone of the conference, patience for western policy towards Palestine is wearing thin in the Muslim world. Since the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993, the main issues at the heart of the Palestine conflict - refugees, Jerusalem, borders and settlements - have remained in diplomatic deep-freeze. However, the Israeli bulldozers and builders have been somewhat more active, enhancing Israel's position on all these issues to the point that its acting premier can talk about unilateral decisions. More fundamentally, Israel has demonstrated that it can count on active western backing and acquiescence in its campaign. But that is forgetting a new reality. Hamas' ascendancy has changed the rules of the game. Its position, which is that justice requires the reversing of Israeli gains, is in tune with the prevailing global Muslim opinion. Hamas, and Tehran for that matter, will not recognise Israel because they believe that to do so would be to relinquish the right of return of five million Palestinian refugees (this non-recognition is not the same as violent destruction of Israel, nor does it equate to any mass ethnic cleansing of Jews). If that seems like a hard-line position, it is no more hard-line than Israel's rejection of the right of return, or its unilateral claim to Jerusalem as its eternal capital. Being in Tehran confirmed the huge gulf between the west's attitude to conflict resolution, which is based on recognising the fruits of Israeli aggression, and the Arab/Muslim stance, spelt out in the conference's final declaration, which is to deny all legitimacy to the Zionist regime as a usurper on the soil of Palestine. Some will condemn this return to the bottom line of justice as naive idealism. They will say that circumstances demand an imperfect peace over an unachievable justice. Some of them are genuine but they sit uneasily alongside others who use the argument as a fig leaf for Israeli injustices. They are the ones who dismiss as unrealistic any attempt to roll back Israel's illegitimate gains, whilst simultaneously celebrating the realisation of the Jews' dream of returning to the promised land after winding back a 2000-year exile. Europe has now located itself squarely in the Zionist camp. In accepting

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Bush Says He Tried to Avoid War 'To The Max,' Explains How God Shapes His Foreign Policy By EP Staff Published: April 24, 2006 4:45 PM ET That the same God that says Thou shalt not kill? Thou shalt not steal? Thou shalt not bear false witness? Thou shalt not covet they neighbors property? THAT God? Or are we talking some other ethereal spirit in control of the situation here? NEW YORK President Bush today said he had tried to avoid war with Iraq diplomatically to the max. Speaking to a business group in Irvine, Ca., he admitted mistakes were made in planning for the Iraq invasion, but he defended the troop level, saying it was the troop level necessary to do the job, and he would commit the same number if given a second chance. The remarks came as another former general joined seven others who in recent days have called for the resignation of Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld, saying he had mismanaged the planning and execution of the war. Bush also explained, in unusually stark terms, how his belief in God influences his foreign policy. I base a lot of my foreign policy decisions on some things that I think are true, he said. One, I believe there's an Almighty. And, secondly, I believe one of the great gifts of the Almighty is the desire in everybody's soul, regardless of what you look like or where you live, to be free. I believe liberty is universal. I believe people want to be free. And I know that democracies do not war with each other. A new CNN poll released today shows Bush with his lowest approval rating in any poll so far, at 32%. Taking questions from members of the Orange County Business Council, Bush said the United States erred in attempting large reconstruction projects soon after the invasion was completed. This didn't make any sense, he said, because they became convenient targets for the enemy. Bush said he'd sat in a California church on Sunday near a mother and stepfather grieving for their son who had been killed in Iraq. I also want to let you know that before you commit troops that you must do everything that you can to solve the problem diplomatically, he commented. And I can look you in the eye and tell you I feel I tried to solve the problem diplomatically to the max and would have committed troops both in Afghanistan and Iraq, knowing what I know today. One decision he questions: After the successful invasion, preparing an Iraqi army for an external threat. Well, it turns out there may have been an external threat but it's nothing compared to the internal threat. He did not explain what external threat the Iraqis were being trained for. In his remarks, the president repeatedly referred to the need to stay in Iraq to deny terrorists a safe haven. He asserted, according to the White House transcript that, Iraq has -- had weapons of mass destruction and has the knowledge as to how to produce weapons of mass destruction. He also said that our enemies know, and it doesn't take much to realize, that when you put carnage on our TV screens, it causes us to weep. He also said: It's not easy work, by the way, to go from tyranny to democracy. We had kind of a round go ourself, if you look back at our history. My Secretary of State's relatives were enslaved in the United States even though we had a Constitution that said all were -- that believed in the dignity, or at least proclaimed to believe in the dignity of all. The Articles of Confederation wasn't exactly a real smooth start for our government to begin. And what you're watching on your TV screens is a new democracy emerging. source: http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002385210 === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === It's guilty until proven innocent for U.S. Muslim charities In the months following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States government launched its global war on terror by rounding up thousands of Middle Eastern-looking men and women, throwing them in jail without charges or access to lawyers, accusing none of them of terror-related crimes, convicting no one, and ending up deporting some for non-criminal immigration violations. At about the same time, the government opened up a second front against charitable organizations providing financial or other material assistance to groups the government designates as terrorist. While the campaign applies to all domestic nonprofit organizations, the lion's share of scrutiny, suspicion, and pre-emptive action has fallen on Muslim groups. http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=10categ_id=5article_id=23980 === 9/11: Seminary Hosts Teach-In On Torture Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, an outspoken critic of the Bush administration's use of intelligence to justify the Iraq war, told clergy members Wednesday that the United States' use of torture on prisoners in its custody amounts to war crimes. Let's not mince words - the U.S. has launched a war of aggression, which is a violation of international law, McGovern said at an interfaith teach-in at Hartford Seminary. Rendering, kidnapping, all the deceit that has gone on with this war - it's far from rotten apples at the bottom of the barrel; these rotten apples are at the very top. Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice, an interfaith group of clergy opposed to the war, invited McGovern to the teach-in, called Torture is a Religious Issue. It was intended to help clergy devise a strategy to bring greater public awareness of torture against war prisoners. http://www.courant.com/features/lifestyle/hc-cttorture0427.artapr27,0,2699947.story?coll=hc-headlines-life === 9/11: The questions that United 93 can't answer why wasn't there any mention of a debris field 8 miles long.

Anyone still care about the heap of disturbing, unsolved questions surrounding Our Great Tragedy? Verily, Jacobson, in his New York mag piece, encounters crackpots and fringe nutballs and those who think Sept. 11 was connected to aliens and electromagnetic fields and the Illuminati. It can, unfortunately, get a little crazy. But there is also a very smart, grounded, intelligent and surprisingly large faction -- which includes eyewitnesses, Sept. 11 widows, former generals, pilots, professors, engineers, WTC maintenance workers and many, many more -- who point to a rather shocking pile of evidence that says there is simply no way 19 fanatics with box cutters sent by some bearded lunatic in a cave could have pulled off the most perfectly orchestrated air attack of the century. Not without serious help, anyway. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2006/03/29/notes032906.DTL === Why Do So Many Americans Hate America? No matter where one turns these days, it seems impossible to avoid negative news stories about President Bush and his mission to bring peace and freedom to the people of Iraq. All too often the liberal media, which has wanted our troops to fail from the start, has reported only the bad things happening while completely avoiding all of the positives. For instance, while 30 people may have burned to death in a Baghdad market as the result of an ongoing wave of sectarian violence, what about all the people that did not erupt in flames or watch a cherished loved one agonizingly die before their eyes shouldnt the media cover them as well? Furthermore, in their ongoing war against America and its values, liberals and others of dubious patriotism have even gone so far as to question our leaders policies and conduct in a time of war a clear act of treason. The presidents critics must realize that he is only doing what is best for America, and questions are best saved for the end of the conflict, which, as

One of America's leading historians assesses George W. Bush George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace. Barring a cataclysmic event on the order of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, after which the public might rally around the White House once again, there seems to be little the administration can do to avoid being ranked on the lowest tier of U.S. presidents. And that may be the best-case scenario.

As of now, the U.S. has yet to prosecute a single official, military officer or private contractor for torture or war crimes related to its occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, or the war on terror.

[media-dakwah] U.S. prepares to face U.N. on torture as Amnesty report blasts 'war crimes'
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === U.S. prepares to face U.N. on torture as Amnesty report blasts 'war crimes' http://rawstory.comRAW STORY Published: Friday April 28, 2006 As the United States prepares a team of 30 to defend its record on torture before a U.N. committee, Amnesty International has made public a report blasting the United States for failing to take appropriate steps to eradicate use of torture at U.S. detention sites around the world, http://rawstory.comRAW STORY has learned. U.S. compliance with the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment will be the topic of May 5 and 8 U.N. hearings in Geneva. The United States last appeared before the Committee Against Torture in May, 2000. Amnesty claims that practices criticized by the Committee six years ago -- such as the use of electro-shock weapons and excessively harsh conditions in super-maximum security prisons -- have been used and exported by U.S. forces abroad. The Amnesty report (http://web.amnesty.org/library/index/engmde140012006Beyond Abu Ghraib: detention and torture in Iraq) reviews several cases where U.S. detainees held in Afghanistan and Iraq have died as a result of torture. The group also lambasts U.S. use of electro-shock weapons, inhuman and degrading conditions of isolation in super-max security prisons and abuses against women in the prison system -- including sexual abuse by male guards, shackling while pregnant and even in labor. As of now, the U.S. has yet to prosecute a single official, military officer or private contractor for torture or war crimes related to its occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, or the war on terror. The heaviest sentence imposed on anyone to date for a torture-related death while in U.S. custody is five months, notes Curt Goering, Senior Deputy Executive Director for Amnesty International USA. [That's] the same sentence that you might receive in the U.S. for stealing a bicycle. The five month sentence resulted from the death of a 22-year-old taxi-driver, who had been hooded and chained to a ceiling, then kicked and beaten until dead. The U.S. government is not only failing to take steps to eradicate torture, he adds, it is actually creating a climate in which torture and other ill-treatment can flourish -- including by trying to narrow the definition of torture. The report argues that these cases are not isolated incidents, but part of an overall pattern condoned by U.S. officials. While the government continues to try to claim that the abuse of detainees in U.S. custody was mainly due to a few 'aberrant' soldiers, there is clear evidence to the contrary, said Javier Zuniga, Amnesty International's Americas Program Director. Most of the torture and ill-treatment stemmed directly from officially sanctioned procedures and policies -- including interrogation techniques approved by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Amnesty's findings have already been sent to members of the UN Committee Against Torture. At its May 1-19 session, the Committee Against Torture will consider reports presented by Georgia, Guatemala, Republic of Korea, Qatar, Peru, Togo and the United States. With the exceptions of Korea and Peru, Amnesty has also provided reports about the actions of these nations. source: http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/As_U.S._prepares_to_face_U.N._0428.html === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

[media-dakwah] Israeli Professor: 'We Could Destroy All European Capitals'
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Israeli Professor: 'We Could Destroy All European Capitals' By Nadim Ladki 2-6-3 (IAP News) -- An Israeli professor and military historian hinted that Israel could avenge the holocaust by annihilating millions of Germans and other Europeans. Speaking during an interview which was published in Jerusalem Friday, Professor Martin Van Crevel said Israel had the capability of hitting most European capitals with nuclear weapons. We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force. Creveld, a professor of military history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, pointed out that collective deportation was Israel's only meaningful strategy towards the Palestinian people. The Palestinians should all be deported. The people who strive for this (the Israeli government) are waiting only for the right man and the right time. Two years ago, only 7 or 8 per cent of Israelis were of the opinion that this would be the best solution, two months ago it was 33 per cent, and now, according to a Gallup poll, the figure is 44 percent. Creveld said he was sure that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wanted to deport the Palestinians. I think it's quite possible that he wants to do that. He wants to escalate the conflict. He knows that nothing else we do will succeed. Asked if he was worried about Israel becoming a rogue state if it carried out a genocidal deportation against Palestinians, Creveld quoted former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan who said Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother. Creveld argued that Israel wouldn't care much about becoming a rogue state. Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that this will happen before Israel goes under. source: === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

[media-dakwah] What Christians Dont Know About Israel
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Washington Report on Middle Eastern Affairs : Special Report What Christians Dont Know About Israel By Grace Halsell May/June 1998, pages 112, 126 American Jews sympathetic to Israel dominate key positions in all areas of our government where decisions are made regarding the Middle East. This being the case, is there any hope of ever changing U.S. policy? President Bill Clinton as well as most members of Congress support Israel and they know why. U.S. Jews sympathetic to Israel donate lavishly to their campaign coffers. . The answer to achieving an even-handed Middle East policy might lie elsewhere among those who support Israel but dont really know why. This group is the vast majority of Americans. They are well-meaning, fair-minded Christians who feel bonded to Israel and Zionism often from atavistic feelings, in some cases dating from childhood. I am one of those. I grew up listening to stories of a mystical, allegorical, spiritual Israel. This was before a modern political entity with the same name appeared on our maps. I attended Sunday School and watched an instructor draw down window-type shades to show maps of the Holy Land. I imbibed stories of a Good and Chosen people who fought against their Bad unChosen enemies. In my early 20s, I began traveling the world, earning my living as a writer. I came to the subject of the Middle East rather late in my career. I was sadly lacking in knowledge regarding the area. About all I knew was what I had learned in Sunday School. And typical of many U.S. Christians, I somehow considered a modern state created in 1948 as a homeland for Jews persecuted under the Nazis as a replica of the spiritual, mystical Israel I heard about as a child. When in 1979 I initially went to Jerusalem, I planned to write about the three great monotheistic religions and leave out politics. Not write about politics? scoffed one Palestinian, smoking a waterpipe in the Old Walled City. We eat politics, morning, noon and night! As I would learn, the politics is about land, and the co-claimants to that land: the indigenous Palestinians who have lived there for 2,000 years and the Jews who started arriving in large numbers after the Second World War. By living among Israeli Jews as well as Palestinian Christians and Muslims, I saw, heard, smelled, experienced the police state tactics Israelis use against Palestinians. My research led to a book entitled Journey to Jerusalem. My journey not only was enlightening to me as regards Israel, but also I came to a deeper, and sadder, understanding of my own country. I say sadder understanding because I began to see that, in Middle East politics, we the people are not making the decisions, but rather that supporters of Israel are doing so. And typical of most Americans, I tended to think the U.S. media was free to print news impartially. It shouldnt be published. Its anti-Israel. In the late 1970s, when I first went to Jerusalem, I was unaware that editors could and would classify news depending on who was doing what to whom. On my initial visit to Israel-Palestine, I had interviewed dozens of young Palestinian men. About one in four related stories of torture. Israeli police had come in the night, dragged them from their beds and placed hoods over their heads. Then in jails the Israelis had kept them in isolation, besieged them with loud, incessant noises, hung them upside down and had sadistically mutilated their genitals. I had not read such stories in the U.S. media. Wasnt it news? Obviously, I naively thought, U.S. editors simply didnt know it was happening. On a trip to Washington, DC, I hand-delivered a letter to Frank Mankiewicz, then head of the public radio station WETA. I explained I had taped interviews with Palestinians who had been brutally tortured. And Id make them available to him. I got no reply. I made several phone calls. Eventually I was put through to a public relations person, a Ms. Cohen, who said my letter had been lost. I wrote again. In time I began to realize what I hadnt known: had it been Jews who were strung up and tortured, it would be news. But interviews with tortured Arabs were lost at WETA. The process of getting my book Journey to Jerusalem published also was a learning experience. Bill Griffin, who signed a contract with me on behalf of MacMillan Publishing Company, was a former Roman Catholic priest. He assured me that no one other than himself would edit the book. As I researched the book, making several trips to Israel and Palestine, I met frequently with Griffin, showing him sample chapters. Terrific, he said of my material. The day the book was scheduled to be published, I went to visit MacMillans. Checking in at a reception desk, I spotted Griffin
[media-dakwah] Israeli Extremists and Christian Fundamentalists: The Alliance
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === This was written 14 years ago. Her concerns were well founded as we can all see. -- Jackie -- March 4, 2003 : Special Report WASHINGTON REPORT On Middle East Affairs Israeli Extremists and Christian Fundamentalists: The Alliance By Grace Halsell December 1988, Page 31 At the time I began my research for my book Prophecy and Politics, I discovered the average American I met in Washington, DC, and New York was not interested in TV evangelists and their link to Israel. Neither were book editors. I went to 25 top editors in New York with my book idea on religion and politics. Michael Korda of Simon and Schuster was typical. Jerry Falwell? Pat Robertson? Who is interested in those crazies? By the time my book came out those crazies were on the front page of every American newspaper and on every news channel. Of course, I didn't give them this instant fame, which extended throughout the world. Two of them earned it themselves by being in the middle of scandals. The press told us that Jim Bakker had committed adultery and that Jimmy Swaggart regularly visited a prostitute. A fellow marine said Pat Robertson never had to dodge bullets in Korea because he had used his father's influence as a senator to escape front line duty. But almost everyone ignored the biggest scandal of all: the peculiar mixture of prophecy and politics professed by these and other Christian Zionists. The Christian Zionists Message What is the message of the Christian Zionist? Simply stated it is this: Every act taken by Israel is orchestrated by God, and should be condoned, supported, and even praised by the rest of us. Never mind what Israel does, say the Christian Zionists. God wants this to happen. This includes the invasion of Lebanon, which killed or injured an estimated 100,000 Lebanese and Palestinians, most of them civilians; the bombing of sovereign nations such as Iraq; the deliberate, methodical brutalizing of the Palestinians-breaking bones, shooting children, and demolishing homes; and the expulsion of Palestinian Christians and Muslims from a land they have occupied for over 2,000 years. My premise in Prophecy and Politics is that Christian Zionism is a dangerous and growing segment of Christianity, which was popularized by the 19th-century American Cyrus Scofield when he wrote into a Bible his interpretation of events in history. These events all centered around Israel-past, present, and future. His Scofield Bible is today the most popular of the reference Bibles. Scofield said that Christ cannot return to earth until certain events occur: The Jews must return to Palestine, gain control of Jerusalem and rebuild a temple, and then we all must engage in the final, great battle called Armageddon. Estimates vary, but most students of Armageddon theology agree that as a result of these relatively recent interpretations of Biblical scripture, 10 to 40 million Americans believe Palestine is God's chosen land for the Jews. Has the power of the Christian Zionists diminished? I do not think so. Rather, we are seeing how the Christian Zionists, motivated by religious beliefs, are working hand in glove with politically motivated, militant Jewish Zionists around the world. It is the Christian support of Zionism that emboldens Zionists to believe they can dictate to relatively weak and dependent countries such as Austria, whom they may choose as their president. It is the Christian support of Zionism that allows Manuel Noriega to remain the strongman in Panama, misusing his power, regardless of what harm he causes to the United States, his neighbors, and his people. It is the Christian support of Zionism that enables the militant Israelis to take over Palestinian homes surrounding the Al-Aqsa mosque in pursuit of their well-documented plan to destroy Jerusalem's most holy Islamic site, sacred to a billion Muslims around the world-one-fifth of humanity. Christian Zionists and the Iran-Contra Scandal Remarkably,it was this Christian cult of Israel that brought us the Iran contra scandal, perhaps the most self-destructive act in the history of the United States. Marine Col. Oliver North, the perpetrator of this misguided series of actions, is a Christian Zionist. A born-again charismatic figure, he endeared himself to the militant Israeli Zionists who plotted Iran-contra. He is more Israeli, said one Jewish general, than we Israelis. This is often the case. In his zealotry, the Christian Zionist can become more Zionist, more militant, than the Jewish Zionist. In the Iran-contra hearings, Sen. James McClure (R-ID) explained to North that the US had a stated policy of neutrality in the Iran-Iraq war. That policy differed radically from Israel's policy of selling arms to Iran. Yes, agreed North, the two policies were not the
[media-dakwah] Is the Zarqawi video a hoax?
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Is the Zarqawi video a hoax? People still snicker whenever anyone suggests that the American intelligence community has, in the past, manipulated the American press. Yet nobody laughed at http://thinkprogress.org/2006/04/18/rumsfeld-limbaugh/Donald Rumsfeld when he claimed that : The terrorists, Zarqawi and bin Laden and Zawahiri, those people have media committees. They are actively out there trying to manipulate the press in the United States. Rumsfeld did not point to a single story in the U.S. media influenced by the putative Zarqawi media committee. How could he? His assertion is inane on its face; a couple of criminals despised by all Americans could never spin CBS or the New York Times. Emacs! Picture 1 Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Is Abu Musab al-Zarqawi himself a manipulation? As we discussed in a recent post, the Washington Post revealed that the threat posed by this alleged Al Qaeda leader was largely the creation of a http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002921913_zarqawi10.htmlmilitary PSYOPS unit. The propaganda campaign targeted both the foreign press and the U.S. home audience. Also targeted were our troops: When they unleashed Whiskey Pete on civilians in Fallujah, they did so in the belief that they were fighting Zarqawi. On the same day the Post story appeared, Bush -- in a speech -- cited as genuine a Zarqawi letter now known to be http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2006/04/zarqawi-gate-more-important-than-you.htmlfake. Journalist Robert Fisk feels that Zarqawi may have died years ago. The Jordanian has not been seen in years; he did not communicate with his family when his mother died; he has made no attempt to help his wife. Fisk is hardly the only skeptic to make such a claim -- see, for example, http://planetquo.net/References/AlZarqawiHarryHoudiniMeetsSuperman.htmthis page of links. (Note: A number of the links go to pages I consider less than credible.) There are numerous mysteries surrounding this alleged Al Qaeda mastermind: The many reported deaths...the leg that either was or was not amputated...his alleged presence in the questioned Nick Berg decapitaion video...and more. I cannot discuss all of these matters here -- although I should note in passing that, if memory serves, we never did receive official confirmation that Zarqawi's voice was heard on the Berg video. One would think that the CIA possesses the ability to nail that sort of idenitifaction. Emacs! Picture 2 Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Now we have a new video featuring Zarqawi -- a man who has died many a death, a man claimed by the august Washington Post to be largely a PSYOPS-driven myth. The timing of this video release, so soon after the Post story, seems rather convenient. A copy of the Zarqawi video can be found http://www.powerlineblognews.com/video/?clipId=1093_PLN022channel=Powerline%20Newshere. (I can't help noting that one of the jihadist fighting songs sounds an awful lot like an old WWI ditty: Skitta-marink-a-dink-a-dink-a-parlez-vous...) If you're well-read in the lore of intelligence operations, you may have come across accounts of faked videos involving look-a-like actors. I will discuss one notorious example in a future post. For now, let us note in passing that we do have one confirmed incident of a faked http://english.people.com.cn/200408/08/eng20040808_152221.htmlbeheading video put together by a young hoaxer named Benjamin Vanderford, who seems to have operated out of bizarre personal motives. If a mere civilian can create such a thing, a military psychological operations unit could surely do a more professional job. All of which means that we have good reason to ask: Is the man in the new video Zarqawi? Please note that, as of this writing, the CIA has not offered a public confirmation of the authenticity of this video. Neither has the intelligence service of any other nation. (Update: Fox News did quote an unnamed intelligence official as saying that technical analysis had identied the voice as Zarqawi's. Since Fox would not identify the agency employing this source, we have no idea if the assertion is credible.) Forgive me if what follows seems a little too grassy knoll for some of you, but I thought I would try my hand at some rudimentary photographic analysis. Very rudimentary. I have not tracked the origin point of the most commonly-reproduced Zarqawi photos, and I am forced to work with very low quality jpg images. What follows is only a start; all conclusions must be very tentative. I hope that, in the future, photographic professionals will have a go at continuing this work, and that they will be in a position to use better raw materials. Emacs! Picture 3 Abu Musab al-Zarqawi : First, let us arrange our Zarqawi images. The image I have labeled Z1 -- reproduced

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === 9/11 : The story of the USS Liberty Planes were ordered to the rescue of the Liberty on two occasions. In the second attempt the USS America also launched aircraft. Both time the Secretary of Defense MacNamara ordered the planes back. There was a challenge from the fleet when ordered back the second time. President Johnson came on the line and confirmed the order saying, We will not embarrass an ally. Here is the question the US Government won't ask and the Israeli government won't answer: Why, if Israel thought they were attacking an Egyptian ship and legitimate war-target, did they attack the USS Liberty USING UNMARKED PLANES? Was the Israeli plan to sink the USS Liberty and blame Egypt for it, thereby tricking the US into the war on Israel's side? Was the same plan behind the attack on USS Cole? Was the same plan behind 9-11? http://judicial-inc.biz/uss_liberty.htm === 9/11 : Armed Madhouse Here is our new world of militarized greed, where America's panic over lunatics with box-cutters has metastasized into a billion-dollar fear industry http://informationclearinghouse.info/article12876.htm === 9/11 : The Fabrication of the Flight 93 Myth Why do I get the feeling that the last minutes of Flight 93's CVR are fabricated? http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/flight_93_cvr.html FLASHBACK: The downing of United Airlines Flight 93 http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38207 Flight5 93: Three-minute discrepancy in tape http://www.propagandamatrix.com/three_minute_discrepency_in_tape.htm Flight 93 - We know it crashed, but not why http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/flight_93_crash.html What You Won't See in Flight 93, the Film http://www.counterpunch.org/ridgeway04282006.html === THE MID-AIR EXPLOSION ON FLIGHT 93 Central to the official USDA Choice story of Flight 93 is that the aircraft was crashed into the Earth during a struggle between the hijackers and the passengers. But this story is directly contradicted by a report of a mid-air explosion, BEFORE the plane crashed! http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/f93midair.php === 9/11 : FBI Sought Info Without Court OK The FBI secretly sought information last year on 3,501 U.S. citizens and legal residents from their banks and credit card, telephone and Internet companies without a court's approval, the Justice Department said Friday. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article12884.htm === Shots Fired into Salisbury Islamic Center The police say nobody was hurt after shots were fired Thursday into the Islamic Center of Delmarva located in Salisbury. http://www.wboc.com/Global/story.asp?S=4828885 === A Democratic Dictatorship No one can deny that we now live in a country in which the ruler has the omnipotent power to send the entire nation into war on his own initiative. To use the presidents words, when it comes to declaring and waging war against another country, hes the decider. It wasnt always that way. The Constitution brought into existence a government in which the powers to declare war and wage war were vested in two separate branches of the government. While the president had the power to wage war, he was prohibited from exercising it without a declaration of war from Congress. http://www.fff.org/comment/com0604i.asp === The Predator State Enron, Tyco, WorldCom... and the U.S. government? http://informationclearinghouse.info/article12880.htm === Undermining civil rights and the rule of law The news that the Bush administration secretly authorized the National Security Agency to engage in illegal domestic wiretapping is just the latest in what has become a full-fledged assault on civil liberties and the rule of law. Following the attacks of September 11, the administration has repeatedly attempted to curtail important civil liberties protections, and it has asserted that if the president is acting in the name of national security, he doesn't have to follow the law. That is unacceptable. As American citizens, we must confront this abuse of power head on and demand accountability. http://cjonline.com/stories/042906/opi_neas.shtml === Amnesty International documents European complicity in secret US rendition programme New details on the practice of illegal kidnapping and the secret internment of alleged terror suspects carried out by the US secret service agency, the CIA, emerged in a report issued by the human rights organisation Amnesty International earlier this month. (See Below the radar: Secret flights to torture and disappearance). The evidence presented by Amnesty on the practice of renditions and American secret prisons is strikingly comprehensive. While some details are already well known, the report makes clear the extent to which European governments were prepared to look the other way and even indulge
[media-dakwah] 9/11 Autopsy: No Arabs on Flight 77!!!
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === 9/11 Autopsy: No Arabs on Flight 77!!! April 30, 2006 By Dr. Thomas R. Olmsted http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org/Scholars for 9/11 Truth I am an ex Naval line officer and a psychiatrist in private practice in New Orleans, a Christian and homeschool dad. It troubled me a great deal that we rushed off to war on the flimsiest of evidence. I considered various ways to provide a smoking gun of who and why Sept 11th happened. Astute observers noticed right away that there were no Arabic sounding names on any of the flight manifests of the planes that crashed on that day. A list of names on a piece of paper is not evidence, but an autopsy by a pathologist, is. I undertook by FOIA request, to obtain that autopsy list and you are invited to view it below. Guess what? Still no Arabs on the list. It is my opinion that the monsters who planned this crime made a mistake by not including Arabic names on the original list to make the ruse seem more believable. When airline disasters occur, airlines will routinely provide a manifest list for anxious families. You may have noticed that even before Sep 11th, that airlines are pretty meticulous about getting an accurate headcount before takeoff. It seems very unlikely to me that five Arabs sneaked onto a flight with weapons. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), does a miraculous job and identified nearly all the bodies on November 16th 2001. The AFIP suggest these numbers; 189 killed, 125 worked at the Pentagon and 64 were passengers on the plane. The AA list only had 56 and the list just obtained has 58. They did not explain how they were able to tell victims bodies from hijacker bodies. In fact, from the beginning NO explanation has been given for the extra five suggested in news reports except that the FBI showed us the pictures to make up the difference, and that makes it so. Now, being the trusting sort, I figured that the government would want to quickly dispel any rumors so we could get on with the chore of kicking Osama/Saddam's butt (weren't these originally two different people?). It seemed simple to me... produce the names of all the bodies identified by the AFIP and compare it with the publicized list of passengers. So, I sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the AFIP and asked for an expedited response, because we were getting ready to send our boys to war on the pretext that Osama/Sadaam had done the deed. Fourteen months later, a few US soldiers dead, many Iraqi civilians pushing up daisies, and I finally get the list. Believe me that they weren't a bit happy to give it up, and I really have no idea why they choose now to release it. No Arabs wound up on the morgue slab; however, three ADDITIONAL people not listed by American Airline sneaked in. I have seen no explanation for these extras. I did give American the opportunity to revise their original list, but they have not responded. The new names are: Robert Ploger, Zandra Ploger, and Sandra Teague. The AFIP claims that the only passenger body that they were not able to identify is the toddler, Dana Falkenberg, whose parents and young sister are on the list of those identified. The satanic masterminds behind this caper may be feeling pretty smug about the perfect crime, but they have left a raft of clues tying these unfortunates together. Stay tuned for part two to take a much closer look of the cast of characters on this ill-fated flight. source: http://mparent.livejournal.com/8157426.html http://physics911.ca/pdf/2004/olmsted_no_arabs.pdfhttp://physics911.ca/pdf/2004/olmsted_no_arabs.http://physics911.ca/pdf/2004/olmsted_no_arabs.pdfpdf === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Proof of 9/11 Lies by the US Government and Media The important point here isn't the shoot down. Most people would agree that under the circumstances, it was the best course of action. The point is that we are seeing clear evidence of the manipulation of information being fed to the public regarding 9/11. What else is the government concealing about 9/11? http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/shootdown.html === False Flagg op called Rosetta Stone of 9/11 You know. A false flag op is when a nation attacks itself but makes it appear that an enemy has committed the attack. This way it stirs its more or less peace-loving people into going to war with the demonized enemy. Its false flag ops 1.1. And Flagg is not a misspelling of flag but the name of a former FBI agent, Warren Flagg who (along with a former federal prosecutor) helped direct the New England investigation of the Sept. 11 attacks. Flagg was nice enough in a Newsday.com piece by Michael Dorman to mention that one bag found in Boston contained far more than what the commission report cited, including the names of the hijackers, their assignments and their al-Qaida connections. Gee, what luck! http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_748.shtml === 9/11 Autopsy: No Arabs on Flight 77 I am an ex Naval line officer and a psychiatrist in private practice in New Orleans, a Christian and homeschool dad. It troubled me a great deal that we rushed off to war on the flimsiest of evidence. I considered various ways to provide a smoking gun of who and why Sept 11th happened. Astute observers noticed right away that there were no Arabic sounding names on any of the flight manifests of the planes that crashed on that day. http://physics911.ca/pdf/2004/olmsted_no_arabs.pdf === 9/11 : Something Strange about Flight 93 23(and counting) of the 44 people on Flight 93 were not supposed to be on the flight that day. Is this really just a coincidence? http://team8plus.org/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.8 === Power Makes Men Mad An extraordinary paradox of the current international scene is that the most powerful countries in the world are also the most afraid - and fear has caused them to lose their senses. Globally, the United States has no immediate military rival; certainly no other state has the power to strike anywhere on our planet - and far beyond it into space - at very short notice. American strategists call this the doctrine of Global Strike. http://english.daralhayat.com/opinion/OPED/04-2006/Article-20060414-98e306c0-c0a8-10ed-0105-00346148e44b/story.html === Time to shut-down the UN When the bombing begins in Iran, the UN can finally board-up its doors and send the diplomats home; therell be no more reason to maintain the pretense. An attack on Iranian facilities will signal a period of global realignment where states either submit to the Washington axis or join the growing resistance. We are quickly moving towards Bushs dream of a world that is divided into us against them. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article12890.htm === U.S. strangling its democracy To understand the furor over leaks about a CIA-run network of secret prisons or, perhaps, the president's authorization of warrantless snooping on Americans' communications, the date to remember isn't 9/11. It is March 23, 2001. On that day just weeks after George W. Bush was inaugurated White House counsel Alberto Gonzales instructed the archivist of the United States to delay release of thousands of President Ronald Reagan's papers, which were about to be made public under a Watergate-era law governing the release of unclassified presidential documents. http://www.dailycamera.com/bdc/opinion_columnists/article/0,1713,BDC_2490_4658762,00.html === A reliable prophet of doom I believe that George Bush is a prophet.

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Number Of Iraqi Civilians Slaughtered In America's War? As Many As 250,000 http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11674.htm Number of U.S. Military Personnel Sacrificed (Officially acknowledged) In Bush's War 2400 http://icasualties.org/oif/ The War in Iraq Costs $277,429,060,471 - See the cost in your community http://nationalpriorities.org/index.php?option=com_wrapperItemid=182 === 9/11: The Jesuits, the Vatican, the Black Pope... Greg Szymanski, Eric Jon Phelps, and many others, are promoting the theory that the Black Pope ordered the 9/11 attacks... Don't fall for the deception! http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmith_BlackPope.html === Depleted Uranium - Far Worse Than 9/11 Depleated Uranium Dust - Public Health Disaster For The People Of Iraq and Afghanistan http://informationclearinghouse.info/article12903.htm === 9/11: WHAT DID HAPPEN TO FLIGHT 93? The unmarked military-style jet swooped down at high speed through the valley, twice circled the smouldering black scar where Flight 93 had careered into the ground just seconds earlier and then hurtled off over the horizon. At least six eyewitnesses saw the mysterious aircraft on the morning of September 11 last year. But the US authorities deny it ever existed. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12192317method=fullsiteid=50143 === 9/11: How Did Human Remains End Up Miles From Flight 93's Crash Site? Are we supposed to believe that hijackers armed with only box cutters forced an angry mob to jump from the plane seconds before the crash? Or are we supposed to believe that people simply felt compelled to jump from the plane? If the official story is true then people jumping from the plane is the only way human remains could have been found miles from Flight 93's crash site. A more logical explanation is that people inside the plane were sucked out because of a sudden depressurisation. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/flight_93_depressurisation.html === 9/11: How to spot a terrorist I really had no idea how to spot a terrorist until I studied the manuals published by the Phoenix FBI, the state employees of Virginia, and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Now that I have absorbed these manuals, I not only know how to spot a terrorist, but I have discovered that I probably am a terrorist. http://tinyurl.com/orogf === Interest in Islamic, Arabic studies rising Colleges offer more classes on Middle Eastern culture. Although Joyce Haikal was raised Catholic, the Lebanese-American was curious about the Islamic roots of her parents home country. This semester, the 22-year-old22- year - old 22-yearold Dalton, Ga., resident signed up for a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga course on Islam. I just found it very interesting, the sociology major said. (Americans should be) more educated in knowing that not all Muslims are bad and not all Muslims are Arab. Ms. Haikal is one of a growing number of students taking courses on Islam or Arabic at colleges across the country, a trend that emerged after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, educators said. As the war on terror grows more complicated, students are looking for a better understanding of the Middle East, and companies are looking for experts in Arabic and Islam, educators said. http://www.tfponline.com/QuickHeadlines.asp?sec=lURL=""> === Save Darfur: Evangelicals and Establishment Jews It's embarrassing that America -- and the world -- will be witnessing a PRO-WAR rally in Washington, D.C. on April 30 (a project of SaveDarfur.org) that is far more highly publicized than an anti-war one (that appears to be poorly organized) in New York City on April 29, even while Washington is still soldiering on in Afghanistan and Iraq and gunning for sanctions or war on Iran. Who is behind this astonishing pro-war rally in war-weary America (war-weary as far as the Iraq War is concerned, that is)? A rag-tag coalition of evangelicals and establishment Jews (those whom the corporate media designate as official leaders of Jewish communities): Keeping the peace within the diverse Save Darfur Coalition has not been easy. Tensions have arisen, in particular, between evangelical Christians and immigrants from Darfur, whose population is almost entirely Muslim and deeply suspicious of missionary activity. Organizers rushed this week to invite two Darfurians to address the rally after Sudanese immigrants objected that the original list of speakers included eight Western Christians, seven Jews, four politicians and assorted celebrities -- but no Muslims and no one from Darfur. http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/furuhashi280406.html === USA: Stop prisoner transfers and torture (Amnesty International - Canada) Here is the URL for the action targeting both the US and several

How about you? [] Picture of the 3 years baby Date : 29/04/2006 Time:13:59 HAIFA, April 29, 2006 (WAFA)-A three-year-old girl was killed at an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank city of Ramallah, her mother told WAFA on Saturday. The little child Rafeda Thaer, of Kufr Kanna in Israel, was accompanying, last Sunday, her mother and three brothers to pay a visit to her imprisoned Father in Nafha Israeli jail. The Israeli occupation's Gate of Kharibtha checkpoint, west of Ramallah, shut up at her head and crushed her skull. Her mother, Jihan Aqeela said: We stopped at the Kharibtha checkpoint inside a car for more than one hour. Rafeda wanted to go to bathroom. We got off the car and as we were passing the checkpoint, its huge Gate suddenly shut up against Rafeda's head. She was instantly bleeding from her head and eyes and went in a coma . An ambulance rushed to the checkpoint and took Refada to Hospital, but she died two days later. M.H.

Berikut sebelum diupdate : Senin, 10 April 2006 KH. Abdurrahman Wahid: Jangan Bikin Aturan Berdasarkan Islam Saja! Pola pandang dan sikap yang terus menghargai perbedaan dalam kerangka keragaman etnis, budaya, dan agama di Indonesia, masih tetap manjadi ciri khas KH. Abdurrahman Wahid, mantan orang nomor satu di negeri ini. Kyai nyentrik yang akrab disapa Gus Dur itu, kembali mengingatkan pentingnya menolak penyeragaman cara pandang, sikap, maupun perilaku dalam beragama dan bernegara di negeri ini. Berikut petikan wawancara M. Guntur Romli dan Alif Nurlambang (JIL) dengan Gus Dur tentang pelbagai persoalan mutakhir negeri ini pekan lalu. JIL: Gus Dur, akhir-akhir ini ada polemik tentang Perda Tangerang tentang pelacuran dan rencana UU Anti Pornografi dan Pornoaksi (RUU APP). Apa komentar Gus Dur tentang Perda yang melarang pelacuran tanpa pandang bulu itu? KH. ABDURRAHMAN WAHID: Menurut saya, baik Perda Tangerang maupun RUU APP yang kini diributkan, harus jelas dulu siapa yang merumuskan dan menentukannya. Pelacuran memang dilarang agama, tapi siapakah pelacur itu?! Jangan- jangan, yang kita tuduh pelacur justru bukan pelacur. Dari dulu memang ada dua hal yang perlu kita perhatikan sebelum menetapkan undang-undang. Pertama tentang siapa yang merumuskan. Dan kedua tentang apakah dia memiliki hak antara pelaksana dan pihak lain. Contoh paling jelas adalah soal definisi pornografi. Ketika tidak jelas ini dan itu pornonya, yang berhak menentukannya adalah Mahkamah Agung. Tapi di luar itu, masih banyak masalah-masalah yang mendera negara kita yang lebih butuh penyelesaian, seperti persoalan ekonomi. Jadi prioritas kita bukan membikin aturan macam-macam. Contohnya, isu pelacuran itu juga sangat terkait dengan soal ekonomi. Meski kita mau bikin seribu peraturan, tapi tidak ada peningkatan taraf kehidupan, pelacuran tidak akan pernah bisa tersentuh, boro-boro bisa dihilangkan. Jika hal ini terjadi, maka aturan tidak akan berfungsi apa-apa, kecuali untuk selalu dilanggar. JIL: Salah satu dasar munculnya perda-perda seperti itu adalah alasan otonomi daerah. Menurut Gus Dur bagaimana? Otonomi daerah tidak mesti sedemikian jauh. Dia harus spesifik. Seperti salah satu negara bagian Amerika Serikat, Louisiana, yang masih melandaskan diri pada undang-undang Napoleon dari Perancis, walaupun negara-negara bagian lain menggunakan undang-undang Anglo- Saxon. Perbedaan tersebut sudah dijelaskan dalam undang-undang dasar mereka di sana semenjak awal, bukan ditetapkan belakangan dan secara serampangan. Untuk Indonesia, daerah-daerah mestinya tidak bisa memakai dan menetapkan undang-udang secara sendiri-sendiri. Itu bisa kacau. JIL: Bagaimana kalau otonomi daerah juga hendak mengatur persoalan agama? Otonomi daerah itu perlu dipahami sebagai kebebasan untuk melaksanakan aturan yang sudah ada, bukan kebebasan untuk menetapkan undang-undang sendiri. Pengertian otonomi daerah itu bukan seperti yang terjadi sekarang ini; daerah mau merdeka di mana-mana dan dalam segala hal. Sikap itu tidak benar. JIL: Apakah beberapa daerah yang mayoritas non-muslim seperti NTT, Papua, Bali, dan lain-lain, dibolehkan menerapkan aturan

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Robertson labeled Islam a bloody, brutal type of religion On the April 28 edition of the Christian Broadcasting Corp.'s (CBN) 700 Club, host http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/patrobertsonPat Robertson referred to Islam as a bloody, brutal type of religion. Following a report suggesting that those who convert from Islam http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.irfi.org/articles/articles_251_300/is_killing_an_apostate_in_the_is.htmcould face hardships and even death sentences in some Middle Eastern countries, Robertson expressed concern that Americans, especially the American left, need to wake up to the danger that Islam presents. He said that, in the past, Muslim invaders would kill an unbeliever if they would not convert to Islam and that today, if somebody wants to leave Islam, they're going to kill them. Robertson continued: Whoever heard of such a bloody, bloody, brutal type of religion? But that's what it is. It is not a religion of peace.

Not surprisingly, they write very little about the economic interests these three imperialist countries have in the oil recently discovered in this part of Africa. http://www.workers.org/2006/world/darfur-0504/ === Physicians for Human Rights say Israel jailed dozens of refugees who fled Sudan The international human rights group Physicians for Human Rights appealed Monday to Interim Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Moshe Katsav on behalf of dozens of Sudanese refugees who fled the war-ravaged region of Darfur to seek asylum in Israel, where they are currently jailed. The organization requests that the government release the Sudanese and provide them with medical care. The State of Israel has a moral obligation to grant these refugees the status of humanitarian refugees, to provide them security, shelter, medical and psychological aid given the fact that some of them endured serious trauma, doctors belonging to the organization wrote in their letter. The letter cited a decision by the late prime minister Menachem Begin to grant asylum to Vietnamese refugees in 1977. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/711753.html === Israel cannot be criticized!!! http://www.indybay.org/news/2006/04/1819059.php === You know you're living in a dictatorship when telling the truth becomes a crime If that's not tyranny, what is?

[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Robertson labeled Islam a bloody, brutal type of religion
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Robertson labeled Islam a bloody, brutal type of religion Summary: On the Christian Broadcasting Corp.'s 700 Club, host Pat Robertson expressed concern that Americans, especially the American left, need to wake up to the danger that Islam presents. Robertson continued: Who ever heard of such a bloody, bloody, brutal type of religion? But that's what it is. It is not a religion of peace.

Robertson continued: Whoever heard of such a bloody, bloody, brutal type of religion? But that's what it is. It is not a religion of peace. Robertson has frequently asserted that Islam is not a religion of peace, as he did in the April 28 broadcast. For instance, as Media Matters for America previously http://mediamatters.org/items/200604240007noted, Robertson made similar comments on April 24 when he warned his viewers that we are not listening to what Islam says, just as we did not listen to what Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf. On a March 13 broadcast, Robertson http://mediamatters.org/items/200603140008declared that Muslims who protested controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad were satanic and crazed fanatics who were motivated by demonic power. On the July 14, 2005, broadcast of The 700 Club, Robertson blurred the distinction between radical Islamists and the Muslim community at large, claiming that Islam instructs its followers to commit acts of terrorism. Robertson stated: Islam, at least at its core, teaches violence. It's there in the Quran in clear, bold statements. According to the Associated Press, during a 2002 broadcast of the program, Robertson declared that Islam is not a peaceful religion that wants to coexist. They want to coexist until they can control, dominate and then, if need be, destroy. Robertson has also made other controversial remarks, such as http://mediamatters.org/items/200508220006calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at least http://mediamatters.org/items/200602030003twice ; http://mediamatters.org/items/200601050004proclaiming that then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was the result of Sharon's policy of withdrawal from the Gaza Strip; and http://mediamatters.org/items/200505020002suggesting that God would punish Disney World's annual http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.gaydays.com/Gay Days festivities by bringing destruction of your nation through earthquakes, tornadoes, and possibly a meteor. From the April 28 edition of The 700 Club: ROBERTSON: Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what it's going to take to wake up the American, especially the American left, to the danger that Islam faces, or presents to all of us. But here's what Muhammad said, he said, If you find an unbeliever and he will submit to Islam and pay alms, then let him go in peace. If not, kill him. So, in other words, when they were taking over a country, people were forced to convert to Islam under the penalty of death. And now, on the other hand, they say if somebody wants to leave Islam, they're going to kill them on the other side. Who ever heard of such a bloody, bloody, brutal type of religion? But that's what it is. It is not a religion of peace. Islam means submission. Submission to the Quran, to Muhammad, to the quote, will of Allah, as revealed by Muhammad. And the penalty of not submitting is death. A penalty of leaving, in many of these countries, as [700 Club correspondent] Erick Stakelbeck has so eloquently shown, is also death. source: http://mediamatters.org/items/200605010007 === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Robertson: The West is ignoring threats from Islam in general, just as it ignored what Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Robertson: The West is ignoring threats from Islam in general, just as it ignored what Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf Summary: On The 700 Club, Pat Robertson warned his viewers that we are not listening to what Islam says, just as we did not listen to what Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf. Robertson claimed that we are ignoring the threats by not only the radical Muslims but Islam in general, because it is not politically correct to believe that any religious group would do what they claim they are going to do. On the April 24 edition of the Christian Broadcasting Network's (CBN) The 700 Club, host http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/patrobertsonPat Robertson warned his viewers that we are not listening to what Islam says, just as we did not listen to what Adolf Hitler said in http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1410102033/103-5301896-8667005?v=glancen=283155Mein Kampf. Robertson claimed that we are ignoring the threats by not only the radical Muslims but Islam in general, because it is not politically correct to believe that any religious group would do what they claim they are going to do. Robertson's comments came in response to a new videotape http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L2424302.htmreleased by Osama bin Laden in which he calls for a jihadist movement in Darfur, Sudan. From the April 24 broadcast of CBN's The 700 Club: ROBERTSON: CBN's terrorism analyst, http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/Staff/erick_stakelbeck.aspErick Stakelbeck, is with us now for more on bin Laden's latest statements. Erick, what's bin Laden's game now? STAKELBECK: Well, Pat, this is really a call to arms for jihadists around the world. I look at it as a State of the Jihad -- State of the Union-type address. Right now, one of the interesting things, Pat, is yesterday in this tape, he directly targeted civilians. Now, in the past, he said that only Western governments were the targets of the jihad. We know differently after 9-11, of course, but now he has openly said western civilians in the U.S. and Europe are targets. They are responsible for electing these governments, he says, and so now they are targets. Now, I believe, Pat, that he may be laying the groundwork here to justify an impending attack against Western civilians. ROBERTSON: Well, Erick, he's also talking about the jihadists going to Darfur. Now, the Arab Muslims in Darfur, the Janjaweed, are fighting the black Muslims in Darfur and trying to eliminate them. It's genocide. Why would bin Laden want his people to go into Darfur? STAKELBECK: Well, Pat, Sudan is someplace that's near and dear to bin Laden's heart. He is kind of a local hero there. Let's remember the Sudanese government gave him shelter and safe harbor in the early part of the 1990s, before he moved on to Afghanistan. Now, he ran jihadist camps there; he recruited terrorists there; he planned terrorist attacks against the West, all from Sudan. And, Pat, he even was a business leader in Sudan. He owned 35 companies in Sudan and employed over 4,000 Sudanese. So he's kind of a local legend there, and he still has a vested interest there. ROBERTSON: Well, the other thing is Hamas has now said, Our goals, and the goals of bin Laden and his followers are not the same. Is that just a smokescreen? Does he really want to come in and help Hamas and move in Gaza against Israel. STAKELBECK: He absolutely does, Pat. You know, Hamas leaders have to say that publicly. They are afraid of getting more funding cut from the international community. Privately, it's obviously a separate matter. But let's remember, Pat, the destruction of Israel is the third and final part of a three-stage plan for Al Qaeda. Now, number one is to win in Iraq, win the jihad there, turn it into a terrorist state. The second stage is to move that jihad in neighboring countries like Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt. And the third and final stage is to use the combined forces of Islam to destroy Israel once and for all. ROBERTSON: Erick Stakelbeck, thank you very much. And, ladies and gentlemen, if we had listened to what Adolf Hitler said in Mein Kampf, the West might have been prepared, and World War II would have been averted. We are not listening to what these guys say. We are not listening to what not only the radical Muslims but Islam in general, we're not listening to what it says. And we don't believe it, because we say, Well, it isn't politically correct to believe that any religious group would do what they claim they are going to do. Well, you'd better believe them, and we'd better be prepared. B.F. source: http://mediamatters.org/items/200604240007 === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Pat Robertson claimed that Islam at its core, teaches violence
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Pat Robertson claimed that Islam at its core, teaches violence On the July 14 edition of the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club, host Pat Robertson, founder of the http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.cc.org/Christian Coalition of America, blurred the distinction between radical Islamists and the Muslim community at large, claiming that Islam instructs its followers to commit acts of terrorism: ROBERTSON: Don't you feel it rather interesting that every time you have a story about terrorism, it is linked to Muslim extremists? You don't hear somebody, Christian extremist killing film producers, Christian extremists blowing up trains. It just doesn't happen. But it's Muslim extremists and, ladies and gentlemen, Islam, at least at its core, teaches violence. It's there in the Quran in clear, bold statements. Well over 100 verses dealing with violence against infidels, and that is what they're taught. They're also taught to sacrifice themselves in jihad against infidels to gain paradise. It is part of the teaching of that faith. And I know people so reluctant to say, Lets not identify those terrorists with these wonderful people. Well, yes, they may be wonderful people, but this is what that faith teaches, and those who believe it sincerely in their hearts are those that think Osama bin Laden is their great hero. And I think we need to recognize that. Political correctness says that you're not supposed to recognize this, but it just happens to be the truth. Every story, you see it over and over again, Muslim extremists blew up trains, Muslim extremists assassinated film producers. Muslim extremists blew up a crowded shopping center in Netanya [Israel]. Muslim extremists, it's always Muslims, and that's where it comes from, it's the breeding ground. And then it's radical clerics who incite this kind of violence, and it's time we recognize it and begin to deal with it. source: http://mediamatters.org/items/200507180003 === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Evangelist: Radical Muslims 'Satanic'
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Evangelist: Radical Muslims 'Satanic' NORFOLK, Virginia, March 14, 2006 Emacs! Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson talks during an interview at the Christian Broadcasting Network Oct. 14, 2003, in Virgina Beach, Va. (AP) Quote These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is satanic and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with. -- Pat Robertson (AP) Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Monday on his live 700 Club television program that Islam wants to take over the world and is not a religion of peace, and that radical Muslims are satanic. After watching a news segment about radical Islam in Europe, Robertson remarked that the outpouring of rage elicited by cartoon drawings of the prophet Muhammad just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is satanic and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with. He also said that the goal of Islam, ladies and gentlemen whether you like it or not, is world domination. Robertson has come under intense criticism in recent months for comments suggesting that American agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for pulling Israel out of the Gaza Strip. Robertson's Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network removed the comments about Islam from the version of the program posted on its Web site out of concerns they could be misinterpreted if taken out of context, said Angell Watts, a Robertson spokeswoman. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which monitors The 700 Club daily, released a written transcript of Robertson's remarks. CBN confirmed the remarks with its own transcript. Watts said Robertson made his comments following a CBN News story on radical Islam in Europe in which some called for the nuking of Denmark and the violent overthrow of other European governments. When you watch the (news) segment, isn't it very clear to you that he's talking about radical Islam? Watts said in a telephone interview, noting that the segment included comments from a moderate Muslim in the United Kingdom saying radicals do not represent most Muslims in that country. It's very obvious that we pointed out that it's about radical Islam and terrorists. On Monday, Robertson also said of Islam: These people are saying it over there in Europe, world domination. 'We're going to take over Europe, we're going to take over England, we're going to take over Denmark, we're going to take over France.' That's their goal. And why don't we wake up to the fact of who we're dealing with? And by the way, Islam is not a religion of peace. Asked why Robertson said Islam is not a peaceful religion, Watts said, At its core, he does not believe it is (peaceful). He's talking about fundamentalists, not moderates. The comments were similar to remarks he made on his program in 2002, when he said Islam is not a peaceful religion that wants to coexist. They want to coexist until they can control, dominate and then, if need be, destroy. The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, called Robertson's latest comments grossly irresponsible. At a time when inter-religious tensions around the world are at an all-time high, Robertson seems determined to throw gasoline on the fire, Lynn said in a statement. ©MMVI, The Associated Press.

[media-dakwah] Hate Speech : National Association of Evangelicals' Cizik says Robertson should apologize on The 700 Club
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === National Association of Evangelicals' Cizik says Robertson should apologize on The 700 Club Emacs! http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.religionandpolicy.org/show.php?p=3.1.15Richard Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs at the http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.nae.net/National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), said that Pat Robertson should apologize on his television show, The 700 Club, for his August 22 http://mediamatters.org/items/itembody/200508220006comments calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. During an August 25 http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2005/08/24/DI2005082401786.htmlonline chat on The Washington Post's website, a participant correctly pointed out to Cizik that instead of apologizing on The 700 Club -- where Robertson made the comments -- Robertson used the August 24 edition of his show to falsely http://mediamatters.org/items/itembody/200508240005deny that he had called for Chavez's assassination and to claim the he had been misinterpreted by the Associated Press. Later on August 24, Robertson reversed himself, acknowledging in a http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://patrobertson.com/pressreleases/hugochavez.asppress release that he had called for Chavez's assassination and apologizing for having done so. After being informed that Robertson had not apologized on television, Cizik wrote, I didn't realize that Pat hadn't apologized to his listeners, and only on the web. Is that right? If so, then he needs to come clean and apologize on the '700 Club' for all to see and evaluate. According to Cizik, the NAE represents over 45,000 churches, 54 denominations, and a constituency of some 30 million evangelicals. From The Washington Post's August 25 http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2005/08/24/DI2005082401786.htmlonline chat with Richard Cizik: Atlanta, Ga.: Well, no, he DIDN'T exactly apologize. He apologized in his web page. On TV, he said that what he said was take out a leader like Chavez and that take out can mean a whole lot of things. He said [h]is words were misinterpreted by the media, which, he says, happens a lot. I don't call that an apology, I call that being a weasel. Richard Cizik: Hmm ... I didn't realize that Pat hadn't apologized to his listeners, and only on the web. Is that right? If so, then he needs to come clean and apologize on the 700 Club for all to see and evaluate. I'll have to check this out.

[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Not to be outdone by Robertson, Mohler claimed that Buddhism, Hinduism, and Marxism are demonstration[s] of satanic power

From the March 17 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor: O'REILLY: Unresolved Problem segment tonight, winning hearts and minds in the Muslim world. As I've stated, the USA cannot win the war on terror without the help of moderate Muslims. We must convince them to reject the terrorists and fascists. Recently, preachers Pat Robertson and http://mediamatters.org/items/200603160009Franklin Graham expounded on Islam in this way: ROBERTSON [video clip]: These people are crazed fanatics. And I want to say it now. I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is satanic. And it's time we recognize what we're dealing with. GRAHAM [video clip]: I've been working in Muslim countries now for, oh, 40 years or more. So I know about Islam. If people think Islam is such a wonderful religion, just go to Saudi Arabia and make it your home. Just live there. If you think Islam is such a wonderful religion, I mean, go and live under the Taliban somewhere. O'REILLY: Now Robertson and Graham were unavailable this evening. Both are welcome on The Factor at any time. Joining us now from Louisville, Kentucky, Dr. Albert Mohler, the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Here's my problem with this. When you say something like that, [Arabic-language television news network] Aljazeera gets it, puts it on in the Arab world, and says, See? All Americans think we're all terrible. They don't distinguish between the terrorists and the good Muslims, and they're our enemies. And it just creates more jihadists. Where am I going wrong? MOHLER: Well, I say first of all that Franklin Graham and Pat Robertson in this case spoke the truth as Christian believers and as Christian truth-tellers, and that's their responsibility. And both of them are men of compassion. And in this case, I've criticized Pat Robertson for some of the things he's said. But on this one, Bill, I have to say I think he's just on target. O'REILLY: So you think Islam is a demonic religion? MOHLER: Well, I would have to say as a Christian that I believe any belief system, any world view, whether it's Zen Buddhism or Hinduism or dialectical materialism for that matter, Marxism, that keeps persons captive and keeps them from coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, yes, is a demonstration of satanic power. O'REILLY: So you're going to go to peace-loving Hindus and look at them and say your religion is demonic, doctor? That's what you're going to do? MOHLER: Well, you know, that's an historic Christian position. Just understanding like the apostle Paul, that the spirit of this age is blinding persons from understanding the Gospel. O'REILLY: Can you point to me in Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, one time when Jesus looked at a Jew and said, You're in a demonic religion? MOHLER: Well, he certainly never called Judaism -- he was himself a Jew -- a demonic religion. He did speak of persons, however, being under demonic possession and speaking on behalf of the devil, rather than on behalf of his father. O'REILLY: I didn't hear him say the Romans were demonic. And they, of course, were polytheists, you know,
[media-dakwah] CIA: the terrible history of the terrorists within
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === CIA: the terrible history of the terrorists within Emacs! Picture: US funded Guatemalan rebels prepare to march on the capital. The CIA coup in 1954 removed a popular radical president John Newsinger unveils the ugly record of the Central Intelligence Agency There is a terrorist organisation operating in Britain today with the full knowledge and support of Tony Blair and the New Labour government. This organisation has tortured and murdered people throughout the world, overthrown democratically elected governments and helped sustain brutal dictatorships in power. It has sponsored wars in Africa and Central America that have cost hundreds of thousands of lives. And it is still engaged in all these activities today. Despite this it has facilities in Britain and its agents mix freely with members of the British security services. The organisation in question is the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Founded in 1947, the CIA has been involved in terrorist activity from the very beginning. Together with Britains MI6, it organised the overthrow of the popular Mossadeq government in Iran in 1953 and installed the Shahs murderous dictatorship in power. The following year, it organised the overthrow of the reformist Arbenz government in Guatemala. During this coup, a British merchant ship, the Springfjord, was bombed and sunk by CIA aircraft. The British government covered up the incident, even confiscating a film of the attack from the crew. In 1961, the CIA attempted to overthrow Cuban leader Fidel Castro, invading Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. They failed in one of the most humiliating defeats in the organisations history. Assassination Subsequently, the CIA was involved in a number of attempts to assassinate Castro and sponsored a terrorist campaign against the Cuban people. Later, the organisation was to wage a particularly brutal war against the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and sponsored death squads in El Salvador, Guatemala, Columbia and elsewhere. Police forces throughout Latin America received counter-insurgency training, including training in interrogation techniques from the CIA. The CIA adviser, Dan Mitrione, who was executed by the Tupamaros guerrillas in Uruguay in 1970, had tortured street beggars to death as part of his training for police interrogators. The Vietnam War involved a massive commitment by the CIA. It ran a large-scale death squad operation, Operation Phoenix, that resulted in the deaths of over 40,000 people. Operatives were given quotas for the number of people they had to kill. Two officers assigned to the operation, Francis Reitemeyer and Michael Cohn, resigned in protest when ordered to deliver 50 bodies a month. Barton Osborn, another CIA man involved in Operation Phoenix, testified to a US Congressional committee that in his time in Vietnam, he had never seen a suspect survive interrogation. Starved They were starved to death, electrocuted and drowned. One man was killed by having a wooden dowel slowly hammered through his ear into his brain. Another agent, Frank Snepp, later revealed that Nguyen Van Tai, a Vietnamese prisoner, was kept for four years in solitary confinement in a freezing all-white windowless room. He was subjected to what amounted to an experiment in sensory deprivation, kept half-starved, cold and disorientated. Just before Vietnams capital Saigon fell, he was put on a plane and thrown out over the sea. The 11 September 2001 attacks have become an atrocity that the US government can use to justify any action it chooses to take anywhere in the world, with the full support of Tony Blair. What is worth remembering is that on the same date in 1973, the CIA sponsored a military coup in Chile, overthrowing the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. Moreover, the CIA has, in its time, collaborated with the Iraqi Baath Party of Saddam Hussein, providing them with lists of socialists and trade unionists to be eliminated. It also worked with what was to become the Al Qaida network, when it fought the Russians in Afghanistan. Today, the CIA is actively engaged in operations in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. It remains the most dangerous terrorist organisation in the world. One last point. This dreadful history is hardly secret, although rarely talked about. There are members of the New Labour government Peter Hain, John Reid, Jack Straw and others who certainly know the CIAs record. Today they turn a convenient blind eye to CIA rendition and torture.

[media-dakwah] The untold story of U.S.-Israel secret nuclear deal
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === The untold story of U.S.-Israel secret nuclear deal 5/2/2006 8:30:00 PM GMT Emacs! The Nixon administration decided not to curb http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421Israel's nuclear program as long as it maintains a policy of nuclear ambiguity, according to an article published this weekend on the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The article, co-authored by Israeli historian Avner Cohen, who wrote Israel and the Bomb (1998), and William Burr, an expert on U.S. nuclear weapons policy, reveals internal documents from the Nixon administration about one of Washington's most secretive foreign policy issues: http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421Israel's nuclear program. Unlike Iran and North Korea, Israel has never signed the http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10317Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, designed to prevent the global spread of nuclear weapons. As a result, it is not subject to inspections and the threat of sanctions by the United Nations nuclear watchdog, http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10536the International Atomic Energy Agency. The recently declassified documents offer unprecedented insight into the tense deliberations in the White House in 1969, a critical time when international ratification of the http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10317NPThttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10317 was uncertain. Nearly four decades later, as the U.S. tries to stop http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10023Iran's nuclear program, the details of these deliberations are revealed. The declassified documents show that former U.S. President Richard Nixon and Israel's ex-prime minister Golda Meir reached a secret understanding in 1969 that ended a decade of U.S. pressure on the Jewish state to end its http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421nuclear program. In 1958, Israel secretly began work at what became known as the Dimona nuclear reactor. The http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10508CIAhttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10508 estimated in 1961 that Israel could produce http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421nuclear weaponshttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421 within the decade. Based on that assessment, the Kennedy and Johnson administrations designed a complex scheme of annual visits to Dimona to ensure that Israel would not build atomic arms. Officials in the Johnson administration even tried to pressure the Israeli government to sign the http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10317NPThttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10317 by threatening to reconsider the supply of F-4 Phantom fighter planes to Israel. But the Israelis, who were very good at hiding their http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421nuclearhttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421 activities, refused to sign the http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10317NPThttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10317 and insisted on their vague pledge not to be the first country to introduce http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421nuclear weaponshttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421 into the Middle East. According to Cohen and Burr's article, Nixon's election in 1969 heralded a change in the U.S. policy. They said that the Nixon administration prepared classified documents that reflect a great sense of urgency among senior U.S. officials about http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421Israel's nuclear ambitions. Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird wrote in March 1969 that these developments were not in the United States' interests and should, if at all possible, be stopped. The Nixon administration was also concerned that Israel would publicly display its http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421nuclearhttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421 capabilities. Before Meir's first visit to Washington in September 1969, the Nixon administration was convinced that Israel already possessed http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421nuclear weaponshttp://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10421 and was capable of launching Jericho ballistic missiles. Based on this opinion, the U.S. State Department recommended that Nixon press Meir to pledge that Israel would not possess nuclear weapons, would sign the http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=10317NPT, and would not deploy missiles. Cohen and Burr say it is not known whether Nixon tried to do this, but that subsequent actions indicate that he did not. * Nuclear ambiguity [] Nixon and Meir met in private at the White House on September 26, 1969. The details of their meetings remain classified, but it is known that it led to an understanding between the two states. According to internal memoranda by Nixon's national

The propaganda presents the US government as an ethically superior exemplar of justice for the entire world, as an exceptionally generous contributor to global economic development, and as a benevolent arbiter of world affairs. Furthermore, a great deal of crucial information about US political history, particularly regarding events of the past half-century, is not taught in US schools and is never allowed to appear in the Mainstream Media outlets. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/03-05-2006/79790-fascism-0 === Our monarch, above the law: HAS GEORGE W.

They say that, as early as AD309, the Council of Elvira, a gathering of bishops and priests from all over the Iberian peninsula who met to discuss theological issues and set canon law, signalled its concerns over paedophilia by ruling that any bishop, priest or deacon caught offending should be denied holy communion even at the time of death. By the eighth century, The Penitential of Bede, a medieval handbook of penances usually ascribed to the Anglo-Saxon theologian and early English historian Bede, had refined the punishments according to rank. Thus laymen caught sodomising children were to be excommunicated and made to fast for three years, while deacons and priests were similarly excommunicated but made to fast for seven and 10 years respectively (bishops were given 12 years of penance). http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,,1766941,00.html === US: Government creating climate of torture Amnesty International today made public a report detailing its concerns about torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of prisoners and detainees both in the US and in US detention sites around the world. http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGAMR510702006 === Invisible in Plain Sight: CIA Torture Techniques Go Mainstream Critical loopholes in the McCain amendment show that the once-clandestine practice of torture is now an official weapon in the War on Terror. http://www.amnestyusa.org/magazine/invisible_in_plain_sight.html === U.S. Torture and Abuse of Detainees Each day brings more information about the appalling abuses inflicted upon men and women held by the United States in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere around the world. http://hrw.org/campaigns/torture.htm === American Torturer Sues U.S. Over Afghanistan Arrest An American released Sunday after serving time in Afghanistan on charges of torturing people in an illegal jail appeared in federal court Thursday to press a lawsuit that accuses the State Department and FBI of instigating his arrest and conviction. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/HE05Df02.html === Oh, Say, Can You See Xenophobia in a Land of Immigrants?

[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Fred Barnes on Islamic cartoon controversy: We see Muslims' contempt for democracy
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Fred Barnes on Islamic cartoon controversy: We see Muslims' contempt for democracy Summary: In referring to the controversy surrounding the Danish cartoons that caricatured the prophet Mohammed, The Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes said: We see Muslims' contempt for democracy, for freedom of speech, for freedom of the press, and particularly, for freedom of religion. On the February 6 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/search_results?qstring=fred+barnesFred Barnes, executive editor of http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://weeklystandard.com/default.aspThe Weekly Standard, remarked that in the recent violent http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/07/international/asia/07cnd-cartoon.html?ex=1296968400en=2d44336cd58b2b0dei=5090partner=rssuserlandemc=rssprotests over cartoons that caricatured the prophet Mohammed, We see Muslims' contempt for democracy, for freedom of speech, for freedom of the press and particularly for freedom of religion. The cartoons first drew criticism after their original September 30, 2005, publication in the Danish newspaper http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.jp.dk/Jyllands-Posten. After initial criticism of the cartoons, which included one that depicted the prophet Mohammed wearing a turban fashioned into a bomb, several European newspapers http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/06/AR2006020601240_2.htmlreprinted them on February 1. From the February 6 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume: HUME: What about this controversy? Where is it going? What does it tell us? Fred? BARNES: It tells us a lot. It tells us that our enemy or -- is not just Al Qaeda. That there's -- that Muslims all over Europe and all over the world are certainly enemies of Western civilization. Look what the showing of these cartoons, which I do -- originally thought was a mistake. They shouldn't have run them. Now, I think we've learned a lot from this. We see the Muslims' contempt for democracy, for freedom of speech, for freedom of the press, and particularly, for freedom of religion. Freedom of religion doesn't mean, just, you have the right to practice your own religion. It means that you can reject, and criticize, and even insult other religions if you want to. And that's what's happened. And it doesn't mean that you have to die or should be threatened or have your hand cut off or anything like that as a result.

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Canadian Arab Federation Press Release Supreme Court of Canada Grants CAF the Right to Argue that the Security Certificate Regime Discriminates against Arabs TORONTO - The Canadian Arab Federation (CAF) is pleased that the Supreme Court of Canada has granted CAF the right to intervene in Charkaoui v. Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. The case is one of three security certificate cases, including Almrei and Harkat, to be heard June 13 -15, 2006 in Ottawa concerning the constitutionality of secret trials of Arabs in Canada. www.caf.ca === HISTORY SHOWS JEWS AND CHRISTIANS KILLED MORE MUSLIMS THAN MUSLIMS KILLED JEWS AND CHRISTIANS I must begin by saying I am among those who firmly believe that any planned killing by a nation state or political group is motivated not by religion, but by power politics. Given this qualification, historical facts tell us that Jews and Christians have, tragically, killed many more Muslims than the other way around. Now this assertion may seem to go against the current tide of public opinion, but a little basic research will prove my point. http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net === 9/11: After Almost Five years, Team Bush Nails an al Qaeda Minor-Leaguer But, after nearly five years, billions of dollars spent, civil liberties curtailed and the entire nation thrown into a red-scare type environment complete with a seemingly-arbitrary, color-coded threat meter, the best we can do is Zacarias Moussaoui? http://www.democrats.com/node/8830 Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information. -- US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/spyring.html === 9-11 Conspiracy Hypothesis I've known Michel Chossudovsky, a Canadian political economist, for a dozen years, since I first read an op-ed by him in the International Herald Tribune while I was vacationing in France. We've never met, but we regularly e-mail back and forth with the latest poop on what's really going on in the world. In 2002 he wrote a book about what was really, really behind the 9-11 attack on the WTC, War and Globalisation, The Truth Behind September 11. It is more or less consistent with what I've believed all along about the neo-cons and the Project for a New American Century. I can't evaluate the details of Michel's research, but since that is what the Kean Commission has been doing with all the material it has been going over, and will soon interview President Bush on the subject, I told Michel I would give him a shot here. For a link to the book summary click: http://globalresearch.ca/globaloutlook/truth911.html. But before you go there, read his most recent article about the stroke of luck a group of well-known Americans had in making a WTC deal just six weeks before 9-11. Coincidences are always the stuff of conspiracy theories. http://www.wanniski.com/showarticle.asp?articleid=3398 === A U.S. 'Propaganda' Program, al-Zarqawi, and 'The New York Times' NEW YORK Midway through Thomas Ricks Washington Post scoop on Monday detailing a U.S. military propaganda program aimed at convincing Iraqis that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has a very prominent role in directing violence in that country, there is one specific tip on how the plan may have also targeted American reporters and audiences. Leaks to reporters from U.S. officials in Iraq are common, but official evidence of a propaganda operation using an American reporter is rare, Ricks observed. He quoted Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the U.S. military's chief spokesman when the propaganda campaign began in 2004: We trusted Dexter to write an accurate story, and we gave him a good scoop. http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002314713 === Is American Foreign Policy an Infinite Crisis? George Bush as superhero, the rest of us as sketchy background characters He was the undisputed ruler of one world, convinced that the larger world outside his own immediate control was corrupt, lacking inspiring heroes and proper values. He acted boldly on the belief that through his own genius, combined with force, manipulation, and powerful weapons he had no hand in creating, he could make a differencea positive difference, one he'd eventually be lauded for, petty carpers be damned. http://www.reason.com/links/links050506.shtml === Bush Clears the Way for Corporate Domination When George W. Bush says that he wants to spread freedom to every corner of the earth, he means it. But of course the president that turned Soviet-era gulags into secret CIA prisons in order to do God-knows-what to God-knows-whom isn't talking about individual freedom. He means
[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Bennett on cartoon riots: Islam is as Islam does
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Bennett on cartoon riots: Islam is as Islam does Summary: On CNN's The Situation Room, Bill Bennett claimed that people who got a good, close look at Muslims rioting over perceived anti-Islamic cartoons would say that these people [Islamists] are unhinged. During the February 9 http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0602/09/sitroom.02.htmledition of CNN's The Situation Room, CNN contributor http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/people/billbennettBill Bennett claimed that people who got a good, close look at Muslims rioting over perceived anti-Islamic cartoons would say that these people are unhinged. Bennett then changed course to discuss a young Iranian woman http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.metimes.com/articles/normal.php?StoryID=20060108-092739-1620rsentenced to death for stabbing a man while defending herself during an attempted rape. Bennett claimed the incident is a peek into the soul of that faith [Islam] when it's run through a government. http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.aaiusa.org/zogby/zogby_home.htmJames Zogby, founder and president of the http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.aaiusa.org/zogby/zogby_home.htmArab American Institute, challenged Bennett's blanket characterizations of Islam and contended that it's not a peek into Islam. It's a peek into the outrages that take place in contemporary Iran, which is not synonymous with Islam. Zogby maintained, for example, that [t]he policy of Catholics during the Inquisition is not synonymous with my church. Bennett initially conceded, Fair enough, but then reiterated, Catholicism is as Catholicism does; Judaism is as Judaism does; and, by God, Islam is as Islam does. And what it's doing right now, I wouldn't want to be associated with. Zogby responded: Hundreds of millions of believing Muslims do not ... practice these things. Bennett then thrice asked: Where are they? As Media Matters for America has http://mediamatters.org/items/200602090009noted, numerous religious leaders and government officials who represent the world's more than one billion Muslims, as well as many Islamic organizations, have condemned the widespread rioting that has followed publication of the cartoons. Before being hired by CNN, Bennett came under fire in September for the following http://mediamatters.org/items/200509280006remarks, which he made during his radio show: [I]f you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose -- you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. From the February 9 http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0602/09/sitroom.02.htmledition of CNN's The Situation Room, which featured anchor http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/blitzer.wolf.htmlWolf Blitzer: BENNETT: Now, the Islamists have won, in that they have intimidated the major news media from showing these cartoons. They have lost, however, in the wider world, because people see that this is just totally nutty behavior, that these cartoons are shown and people, as a result, want to kill people, behead people, burn buildings down. And, whatever the argument with the Danes, what is the point of burning the Jewish flag? What is the point of burning the U.S. flag and saying, death to Israel and death to the United States? People get a good, close look at this and say, you know, these people are unhinged. [...] BENNETT: I mean, is there -- ZOGBY: No -- BENNETT: -- excuse me. Is there no argument that radical Islam is connection -- connected to violence? Is there no suggestion that, in the name of Islam, in the name of the Quran, in the name of Allah, people are having their heads cut off? These things hit their target. ZOGBY: This was not about radical Islam -- BENNETT: This is -- ZOGBY: -- this was about the Prophet Muhammad. Let's be fair here. BENNETT: Well, the Prophet Muhammad is tied into Islam. [...] BENNETT: Let's go beyond cartoons. The other story out of Iran is the story of the two young girls who were raped. A girl defended herself and stabbed her attacker. She is now sentenced to be hanged, under Islamic law. This isn't a caricature. This isn't a cartoon. This is a peek into the soul of that faith when it's run through a government. BLITZER: I'm not familiar with that story. But go ahead. BENNETT: It's a real story. And it deserves -- ZOGBY: And, frankly -- BENNETT: -- it deserves to be criticized. ZOGBY: -- I'm familiar with Islam, and it's not a peek into Islam. It's a peek into the outrages that take place in contemporary Iran, which is not synonymous with Islam. And we cannot do that. BENNETT: Oh,
[media-dakwah] The Israeli Spy Ring
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === The Israeli Spy Ring NOTE: ALL LINKS TO CARL CAMERON'S FOX NEWS STORY ON THE ISRAELI SPY RING HAVE BEEN REMOVED AT THE EXPRESS REQUEST OF FOX NEWS. source: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/spyring.html Israel does not spy on the United States of America. -- Mark Regev, a spokesman at the Israeli embassy in Washington I think there is very compelling evidence that at least some of the terrorists were assisted not just in financing -- although that was part of it -- by a sovereign foreign government... It will become public at some point when it's turned over to the archives, but that's 20 or 30 years from now. -- Senator Graham as quoted in http://www.thememoryhole.org/911/911-graham-admits.htmSenator: At Least One Foreign Country Assisted the 9/11 Terrorists Investigators within the DEA, INS and FBI have all told Fox News that to pursue or even suggest Israeli spying ... is considered career suicide. -- Carl Cameron, as quoted in http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/2002-03-13/fishwrapper.htmlThe Spies Who Came In From The Art Sale While I agree with you, if I say anything about US geopolitical interests with Israel, I might as well clean off my desk. -- Unnamed reporter as quoted in http://www.ccmep.org/ccmep/american031902.htmlAmerican Media Censorship and Israel Prior to 9/11, the FBI had discovered the presence of a massive spy ring inside the United States run by the government of Israel. This seems a harsh gratitude from a nation which obtains 10% of its annual budget from the American taxpayer, $3+ billion a year. Over the years, American taxpayers have been required to send Israel more than four times what the US spent to go to the moon. What Israel has done in return was to set up government subsidized telecommunications companies which operate here in the United States. One of these companies is Amdocs, which provides billing and directory assistance for 90% of the phone companies in the USA. Amdocs' main computer center for billing is actually in Israel and allows those with access to do what intelligence agencies call traffic analysis; a picture of someone's activities based on a pattern of who they are calling and when. Another Israeli telecom company is Comverse Infosys, which subcontracts the installation of the automatic tapping equipment now built into every phone system in America. Comverse maintains its own connections to all this phone tapping equipment, insisting that it is for maintenance purposes only. However, Converse has been named as the most likely source for leaked information regarding telephone calls by law enforcement that derailed several investigations into not only espionage, but drug running as well. Yet another Israeli telecom company is Odigo, which provides the core message passing system for all the Instant Message services. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/9-11_warnings_odigo.htmlTwo hours before the attacks on the World Trade Towers, Odigo employees received a warning. Odigo has an office 2 blocks from the former location of the World Trade Towers. Let us be clear here. There is nothing benign about Israel spying on the United States. When Jonathan Pollard stole our nuclear secrets (which your taxes paid to develop) and sent them to Israel, Israel did not hesitate to trade those secrets to the USSR in exchange for increased emigration quotas. The implication of these facts is that the billions of our tax dollars sent to Israel (while women and children sleep in America's alleys and eat out of trash bins) have bought and paid for a monstrous phone tracking and phone tapping system that can eavesdrop on almost any phone call in America. Even the White House phones were open to such tapping by listening in on the other end outside the White House itself. This actually happened. The Ken Starr report on Whitewater describes how Bill Clinton informed Monica Lewinsky that their phone sex conversations had been recorded. At the same time, Clinton ordered the FBI to cease the hunt for an Israeli mole known to be operating inside the White House itself! So here we have a foreign nation able to listen in on most phones at will, using taps that cannot be found because they are built into the phone system itself, and willing to use the information gleaned from those calls to http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/blackmail.htmlblackmail Americans into any desired course of action. This may well be what Ariel Sharon meant when http://www.mediamonitors.net/khodr49.htmlhe stated that the Jewish people control America. That the information gleaned from these phone taps is being used to coerce the behavior of key individuals in the US Government and media is illustrated by the manner in which the government and the media have handled this scandal of the largest spy ring
[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Newsday's Pinkerton: Radio host Graham was fired for criticizing a PC thing -- the sanctity of Islam
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Newsday's Pinkerton: Radio host Graham was fired for criticizing a PC thing -- the sanctity of Islam Fox News political analyst and Newsday columnist http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,2157,00.htmlJames P. Pinkerton argued that the only reason Washington, D.C., radio station WMAL-AM recently decided to http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9049943/fire conservative talk show host Michael Graham was because he went after a PC [political correctness] thing, which is the sanctity of Islam. WMAL suspended Graham's daily three-hour show after he made numerous inflammatory remarks about the Islamic faith. On August 22, The Washington Post http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/22/AR2005082201255.htmlreported: According to WMAL, Graham said Islam is a terrorist organization 23 times on his July 25 program. On the same show, he also said repeatedly that moderate Muslims are those who only want to kill Jews and that the problem is not extremism. The problem is Islam. On August 24, http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.rightalk.com/Rightalk.com, a conservative, Internet-based radio network, http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104STORY=/www/story/08-24-2005/0004093713EDATEannounced that it had hired Graham to host a daily program. From the August 27 edition of Fox News' Fox News Watch: RICH LOWRY (National Review editor): But what bothers me most about these kind of stories is whenever someone says something controversial or dumb, and then they get criticized or fired or whatever, their free-speech rights are being violated, which is nonsense. He [Graham] had all his First Amendment rights; he can stand on, you know, the roof of his house and shout, Islam is a terror organization. But he just doesn't necessarily have a right to say it on [WMAL owner] ABC's airwaves. PINKERTON: I agree. Just as I support the right of TV stations not to run ads, I support the right of WMAL to fire this guy. However, he made a good point. He said, Look, if I had said that the Catholic Church is a haven of pedophiles, if I had said that right-to-lifers are terrorists because of Eric Rudolph, nothing would have happened to me. NEAL GABLER (media writer): That's not true. PINKERTON: The only reason I'm being -- well, he said -- I agree with him. The only reason he's being fired -- GABLER: That's ridiculous. PINKERTON: -- is because he went after a PC thing, which is the sanctity of Islam.

http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Bush calls terror fight WWIII US President George W. Bush has said the September 11 revolt of passengers against their hijackers on board Flight 93 had struck the first blow of World War III. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,19043507%255E1702,00.html === Islamophobia, a Retrospective It was the potshot heard round the world that touched off a counter-crusade. Packaged in western free speech cliches, and marketed as innocent satire, the newspaper Jylland-Posten's depiction of the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist/suicide bomber with a ticking bomb for a turban was provocation-entrapment propaganda. Dual-use entertainment, in this case frivolous caricature, is an unexamined aspect of full spectrum information dominance. The US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's Information Operations Roadmap mandates that 'information warfare' utilize all cultural venues to further its agenda- news, posters, books, movies, art, internet, and music etc. http://www.counterpunch.org/schuch05062006.html === 9/11: FLASHBACK: UK Terror Trial Finds No Terror: Not guilty of conspiracy to poison London with ricin One of the last claims in Colin Powell's presentation to the UN Security Council on February 5, 2003 blew away like dust in the wind late last week in the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court. http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/nsn/nsn-050411.htm === Where was Porter Goss on 9-11? On the morning of September 11, Pakistan's Chief Spy General Mahmoud Ahmad, the alleged money-man behind the 9-11 hijackers, was at a breakfast meeting on Capitol Hill hosted by Senator Bob Graham and Rep. Porter Goss, the chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence committees. http://www.prisonplanet.com/new_revelations_on_911.htm === 9/11: Flt 93 LANDED In Cleveland Morning Of 911 - NOT! Posted May 6, 2006 08:18 AM PST - Category: 911 Plane that landed in Cleveland with a bomb scare that day was a Delta Airlines jet, not United 93. http://www.rense.com/general71/asd.htm === 9/11: WTC7.net the hidden story of Building 7 Building 7 was the third skyscraper to collapse into rubble on September 11, 2001. According to the government, small fires leveled this building, but fires have never before or since destroyed a steel skyscraper. http://www.wtc7.net/ === 9/11: United 93: What Happened on the Planes? The movie serves the interests of the Bush adminstration. It imprints in the minds of millions of Americans that the threat is real and that America is under attack. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticlecode=CHO20060501articleId=2356 === Terror War Begets Devil's Bargains U.S. Pres. George W. Bush's global war on terror has produced the unintended consequence of bringing the United States ever-closer to some of the world's most repressive regimes. http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=33123 === U.S. defends rights record before U.N. panel in Geneva American officials appeared before an international legal panel Friday to argue that the United States had not violated its treaty obligations to prevent the torture of prisoners in its fight against terrorism. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0506iraq-terror0506.html === Invisible in Plain Sight: CIA Torture Techniques Go Mainstream Critical loopholes in the McCain amendment show that the once-clandestine practice of torture is now an official weapon in the War on Terror. http://www.amnestyusa.org/magazine/invisible_in_plain_sight.html === A Bush/Neocon/Zionist Atomic 'Incident' In The US? Every week, three members of the Israeli Mossad go to the CIA headquarters at Langley and there meet with senior CIA officials. During these weekly meetings, mutual needs, requirements and demands are presented by the Mossad to the CIA. Parenthetically, we should note that Israel flies a number of top CIA officials to have a yearly very expensive vacation in Israel. First class accommodations by El Al airline, 5 star hotel accommodations, expensive gifts and the whole nine yards are part and parcel of this agape. http://rense.com/general71/inci.htm === A World Without Borders: An interview with Howard Zinn http://zmagsite.zmag.org/May2006/barsamian0506.html === Not One Drop The real reason Iran has been unfairly singled out is because theyve committed the inexcusable crime of controlling their own resources. This makes them a potential threat to Israels ever-expanding territorial ambitions and Americas insatiable thirst for oil. The nuclear issue is a red herring with no merit whatsoever. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12952.htm === Another brick in the wall We have been conned again. The Israeli elections, we are told, mean that the dream of Greater Israel has finally been abandoned. West Bank settlements will be
[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: MSNBC's Dietl asserted in the event of nuclear attack by Muslims, U.S. should threaten to bomb Islam's most religious places
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === MSNBC's Dietl asserted in the event of nuclear attack by Muslims, U.S. should threaten to bomb Islam's most religious places Calling in to The Radio Factor, MSNBC analyst http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7430681/Bo Dietl told Fox News host and Radio Factor guest host John Gibson that, in the event of a nuclear attack by Muslim terrorists, the United States should declare holy war and threaten to bomb the most religious places. From the July 22 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor With Bill O'Reilly: DIETL: Here's a question, John. What would happen -- you know there's about 38 nuclear devices -- briefcase bombs -- that are still missing from the Republic of Russia over the years. What would happen if simultaneously a nuclear bomb went off in Los Angeles, then one went off in New York? What would the president of the United States do against this great Muslim, love-thy-neighbor nonsense? You know, if you read the Quran, really read the Quran, and if you learn about what's going on in Saudi Arabia, about this Wahhabism, it is -- they can not co-exist with us. They have to wipe out everybody unless you become one of them. So if that happens, you think the president of the United States would make a statement if there's another nuclear bomb, we're going to bomb Mecca, we're gonna bomb the most religious places. This is a holy war. source: http://mediamatters.org/items/200507260001 === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.

[media-dakwah] Hate Speech: Smerconish: Public prayer by Muslims wrong and a game to remind audience of terrorist attacks
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Smerconish: Public prayer by Muslims wrong and a game to remind audience of terrorist attacks Emacs! On the November 23 broadcast of Fox News' The Radio Factor, guest host http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.mastalk.com/mastalk/front.jspxMichael A. Smerconish took issue with a recent http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.thebostonchannel.com/sports/5388862/detail.htmldecision by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority to provide a designated prayer area at Giants Stadium. The decision was in response to a September 19 http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/02/football.muslim.ap/index.htmlincident involving the FBI's detention and questioning of five Muslim men who were observed praying near the stadium's main air duct during a New York Giants football game. Smerconish stated: I just think that's [the men's public praying] wrong. I just think they're playing a game of, you know, mind blank with the audience. And that they should know better four years removed from September 11. In a November 2 http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/11/02/football.muslim.ap/index.htmlarticle, the Associated Press reported that FBI spokesman, agent Steven Siegel, said the men had aroused suspicion because they were congregating near the main air intake duct. Also, security was on higher alert because former President George H. W. Bush was in the stadium that night as part of a fundraising campaign he and former President Clinton are leading for victims of Hurricane Katrina. The AP quoted Siegel as follows: You had 80,000 people there, Bush 41 was there, and you had a group of gentlemen gathering in an area not normally used by the public right near the main air intake duct for the stadium, and a food preparation facility. It was where they were, not what they were doing. The men were later released without charge and have since http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.nj.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/news-1/1131001522116820.xmlcoll=1thispage=3claimed that their detention was evidence of racial profiling. The FBI denies these charges. Smerconish said that the Giants' designation of a new prayer area just seems like a form of capitulation in this instance to -- well, frankly -- to the Arab community ... I think that it's fundamentally unfair that five Arab guys, Muslim men in their twenties, get together in full view of 80,000 folks and engage in prayer. Smerconish added: SMERCONISH: Tolerance means I've gotta tolerate that -- the practitioners of the Muslim faith -- but they've gotta be tolerant of my reasonable concerns about terrorism four years post-9-11. And their tolerance of me necessitates that they not gather in prayer when there are 80,000 people in the house for a football game. From the November 23 broadcast of Fox News' The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly: SMERCONISH: September 19, the Giants hosted the New Orleans Saints. The game was also the site of a Hurricane Katrina fund-raiser. Did you hear about this? As a matter of fact, number 41 was in the house. Meaning George Herbert Walker Bush, past president and father, of course, of W [President Bush]. Eighty-thousand folks were in the house for the Giants and the Saints and the Katrina fund-raiser. In an area near food preparation, in an area near air duct work and venting, folks saw five apparently Muslim men in their 20s praying. Let me just sort of freeze-frame right there and ask The Radio Factor audience: Had you been in Giants Stadium that day, you know that it's the Giants and the Saints, you know that it's a Hurricane Katrina fund-raiser, perhaps you know that number 41 is in the house, you certainly know that you're a stone's throw away from Ground Zero; what, if anything, would you have done if you had seen five apparently Muslim men in their 20s engaged in prayer? Maybe you would do absolutely nothing. But you can call me on that issue as I tell you the rest of the story. It's 1-877-9-NOSPIN. Me, I'd drop the dime. And somebody in this case did drop the dime. And well, you can see, I'm sure, where this thing is headed. Before long, it became a focal point in a civil liberties debate. The Council on American-Islamic Relations got involved -- CAIR -- C-A-I-R is their acronym. Turns out the guys were just five Giants fans, not up to anything terrorism-related, but that didn't quell the controversy. And now, today, comes the news that at Giants Stadium, they will be setting aside an area for groups to pray. I wonder how you see this. See if you had told me -- in Philadelphia, we've got Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Eagles, home of the former, you know, National Football Conference champion Eagles, although I won't be able to say that this season. If you'd said to me in Lincoln Financial Field or in
[media-dakwah] Mosque defaced: Kristalnaught in Trois Rivieres as Muslims shaken by attack on Monque
http://musliminsuffer.blogspot.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Mosque defaced: Kristalnaught in Trois Rivieres as Muslims shaken by attack on Monque The Muslim community in Trois Rivieres is shaken after three racist posters were taped to the front door of a mosque last weekend. One of the signs read in French: Arab terrorists, get out. Another showed one of the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad published in a Danish newspaper last fall that caused an international furor. The third called for young Quebecers to stand up against the Islamization of Quebec cities. The posters were signed Quebec Radical, described in news reports as an underground, extreme-right, anti-immigration group. About 300 Muslims live in Trois Rivieres. © The Gazette (Montreal) 2006 http://www.canada.com/components/print.aspx?id=3dc1a777-6f3c-491a-abf1-b07bd73b2c7a === -muslim voice- __ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.
