[IslamCity] YOUNG DANISH FIRM SCORES GIANT DEAL IN MALAYSIA

2006-02-15 Thread assalamu_alaikum_1427

Assalamu aleikum.

Everything was set and then they asked about the drawings in
Jyllands-Posten. They wanted to know how we felt about the matter as a
company. I told them that we at DSI respect the freedom of speech and
everyone went totally quiet until I added: But Jyllands-Posten was not
realy aware of the consequences when they printed the articles.

Jyllands-Posten was not really aware of the consequences. 

Wow. What an apology.

The sand at the beaches close to the area contains a very high amount
of Silica, and that will make the production cheaper.

Say bye-bye beaches.

Now not only do the Muslims of Malaysia surrender their dignity, but
the very soil upon which they live.

Young Danish Firm Scores Giant Deal in Malaysia
By Jakob Holm
Scandasia
February 9, 2006
http://www.scandasia.com/viewNews.php?news_id=!47coun_code==dk
 
Denmark Solar Industry is just 9 months old, but the young company
has just landed an order worth 179 million DKK in Malaysia.  
Recently established Denmark Solar Industry (DSI)  based in
Copenhagen  is to build several large factories in Kemaman, Malaysia
producing solar panels. The factories contract is worth 179 million DKK.
   The order came faster than we had dared hope, Per Pape,
founder and main shareholder of the young Danish company said
Thursday. Pape said the main reason that the company has been able to
set up the project in such a short at time is that since the company
was established, they have been spent most of that time nursing
contacts in Malaysia. 
   We are going to build around 10 factories, which will produce
almost everything that has to do with solar energy including solar
cells and components used in security or street lighting. What we have
to do is deliver the components for the factories and educate the
technicians, Pape told Scandasia. 
   The initial facilities will employ 500 technicians and another
1,500 technicians by 2008. The long-term goal is to turn the entire
area into the first solar valley in the world. 
   The idea is that five to ten percent of the production is sold
in SEA and 90 percent is to be sold back to Europe, says Pape. 
   He says there is a simple reason as to why the company chose
this area. In 2008 we plan to produce our own solar cells, and it
happens that the main component in solar cells is Silica. The sand at
the beaches close to the area contains a very high amount of Silica,
and that will make the production cheaper. 
   Tax free The 179 million DKK contract will be underwritten by
private investors in Malaysia, but the Malaysian government has also
been very helpful Pape admits. 
   We are borrowing the land needed for free for the first 60
years and we also get five to seven years of exemption from taxation
because what we are doing is considered a pioneering project - it
hasn't been done before. Finally we don't have to pay import taxes. So
I think I can say that we have been treated pretty well, he says. 
   Thursday the order was announced at a press conference in
Malaysia. Strangely enough the first questions had nothing to do with
the project at all. 
   Everything was set and then they asked about the drawings in
Jyllands-Posten. They wanted to know how we felt about the matter as a
company. 
   I told them that we at DSI respect the freedom of speech and
everyone went totally quiet until I added: But Jyllands-Posten was not
realy aware of the consequences when they printed the articles.

THE PRESERVATION OF PHARAOH'S BODY As we shall see later on, Pharaoh regarded himself as a deity and responded with slanders and threats to Prophet Musa's (as) calls for him to believe in Allah. This arrogant attitude lasted until he was faced with the threat of death through drowning. The Qur'an relates that Pharaoh immediately turned to belief when faced with Allah's punishment:We brought the tribe of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh and his troops pursued them out
of tyranny and enmity. Then, when he was on the point of drowning, he [Pharaoh] said: "I believe that there is no god but Him in Whom the tribe of Israel believes. I am one of the Muslims." (Qur'an, 10:90) However, this last-minute conversion was not accepted, for it was not sincere. According to the Qur'an, Allah exclaimed:"What, now! When previously you rebelled and were one of the corrupters? Today we will preserve your body so you can be a Sign for people who come after you. Surely many people are heedless of Our Signs." (Qur'an, 10:91-92) The information that Pharaoh's corpse would serve as a sign for later generations may be regarded as an indication that his body would not decay. On display in the Royal Mummies Chamber of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo is a mummified body believed to be that of this tyrant. In all likelihood, Pharaoh's body floated to shore after
being drowned, was found and mummified by the Egyptians, and then carried to a previously prepared burial chamber.182

[IslamCity] Sleeping on the right side-an analysis

2006-02-15 Thread Khalid

 

Sleeping on the right side
 
 

Lying down can be on the back, on the abdomen, on the left or right
side. Which of these positions is the best for the functioning of the
organs?

When lying on the abdomen, as Dr Attar says, a person will feel after
a while short of breath as the backbones' mass prevents the chest from
contracting and then relaxing during inhalation and exhalation.
Moreover this position leads to an obligatory bending in the neck
vertebras. Also, the contact of the reproductive organs with the bed
leads to masturbation. 

The resulting respiratory crisis results in brain and heart fatigue as
well.

An Australian researcher noticed the increase in the likelihood of
babies' sudden death when they sleep on their stomach compared to
those who sleep on one of the sides.   It is inimitable that these
modern studies agree with what our prophet said as narrated by Abu
Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him): When the prophet (peace be
upon him) saw a man lying on his front, He said (Allah and his prophet
dislike this position in lying)  (Reported by Al-Tirmdhi)

Another Hadith is the one narrated by Abu Umama (May Allah be pleased
with him) he said:  When the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed a man
sleeping on his front in the mosque he hit him with his feet and said:
wake up and seat as this is a diabolic sleep 

Lying on the back, on the other hand, causes the respiration to be
through the mouth. Dr Attar sees that the mouth opens up when lying on
back as the inferior jaw relaxes.

However, the nose is the one prepared for respiration, as it contains
hairs and mucous that act to purify the air entering during
inspiration and as it has dense blood vessels that make the entering
air warmer.

Respiration through the mouth then makes the person prone to colds,
especially in the winter, and also to gum dryness and its resulting
inflammation. 

As well as it evokes potential situations of dissemble excess or gumic
hugely.

So these positions the jaw and uvula oppose the wideness of nose and
prevents current of breath.

So snoring will increase.

Moreover, in this case, the person wakes up with an abnormal white
layer covering h#29545;#29728;#28271;#30055; is tongue and an undesirable 
mouth odour. 

Sleeping on the left side is not favoured either, as the heart would
be then under the pressure of the right lung, the biggest of the two
lungs, and this would affect its contraction especially if the person
is old. The full stomach which itself is under the pressure of the
heaviest organ in the digestive tract, the liver, which delays its
emptying, would also impose a pressure on the heart.

A group of experiments done by Galteh and Butseh found that the
passage of food from the stomach to the intestines takes from 2.5 to
4.5 hours if a person is sleeping on the right side whereas its takes
5 to 8 hours if he is sleeping on the left side.



Thus, sleeping on the right side is the correct position as the left
lung is smaller than the right one and the pressure on the heart would
therefore be less, the liver would not be suspended, and the stomach
would be on it and so emptying its contents would be quicker. 

Moreover sleeping on the right side is one of the best medical
interventions to facilitate the excretion of the mucous secretions of
the left respiratory bronchioles. 

That is what was said by Dr Al Rawi who added that the reason for the
expansion of the airways in the left lung and not the ones in the
right one is that the right lung's bronchioles are laterally
positioned to a certain extent, whereas the ones in the left lung are
vertical and so it is harder to push the secretions upwards to be
excreted. This leads to their accumulation in the inferior segment,
leading to the expansion .The symptoms at this stage is excessive
phlegm discharge in the morning which may exacerbate and lead to
serious illnesses such as lungs' apse and urinary disease, and one of
the most modern treatments for those cases is sleeping on the right side.

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

2006-02-15 Thread Labbayk YaMahdi

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

[IslamCity] Women Whom 'Your Right Hand Possesses'

2006-02-15 Thread Alan Border




The believers must (eventually) win through,- Those who humble themselves in their prayers; Who avoid vain talk; Who are active in deeds of charity; Who abstain from sex, Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame (Al-Qur'an, 23:1-6 (Al-Mumenoon [The Believers])Whom Do We Possess?  Adil Salahi, Arab News  http://www.arabnews.com/?page=5section=0article=77561d=10m=2y=2006pix=islam.jpgcategory=IslamQuestion  It is mentioned in the Quran that sexual intercourse is permissible only with ones wife or with a woman your right hand possesses. What does this
 phrase mean?Answer  Sex with anyone other than ones wife is adulterous. Hence, it is strictly forbidden with kind of women you mentioned, whether the woman is paid or unpaid, with her consent or without. Yet it is true that the Quran exempts the form you have mentioned, but this form is no longer in existence, and it cannot be reinstated. The _expression_, those whom your right hand possesses refers to slaves. When slavery was practiced, Islam could not stop it because it was a global system, common in all societies. When slave
 women happen to be in plenty, it is necessary to provide a legitimate means of satisfying their natural needs. Therefore, Islam allowed marriage between slaves, and between a free man and a slave woman, as well as the case of the master having a relationship with a slave woman, who later becomes a mother of his child which raises her status, preventing her sale and paving the way to her freedom. But Islam did more than any other system to ensure that slavery would disappear. Now that it has finally disappeared from the world it cannot be reinstated in future.Islam in Perspective http://www.ourdialogue.comAB  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  "For to us will be their return; then it will be for us to call them to account."

Defend Prophet Muhammad Against the Danish, French, German, Italian, Spanish Netherlands News Agencies Heinous Aggression

Sign the Petition

To: Arab Press, Arab Government, European News AgenciesConcerning
the latest cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in the Danish
newspaper, we ask that you boycott Danish products from your television
and press commercials. We ask all Muslims and those against
the cartoons, to boycott Danish, French, Italian, German, Netherlanders
and Spanish products, since "Publications in France, Germany, Italy,
the Netherlands and Spain also re-ran the Danish cartoons on Wednesday
to show support for free speech." (Quote from BBC News) We also ask for the magazine editors who
reprinted the cartoons in the above countries to have action taken against them. This
is also a call for Arab governments to officially boycott these
countries' products which ridiculed the Prophet Muhammad, and to cancel
all businesses and contracts with them. Muslims must stand
united against what happened, until these countries understand that
free speech does not fall under the same category of discrimination and
racism against other religions. If this happened to the Jews it would
be anti-semitism. Please sign this petition and send it to as
many people as you can, publish it on your websites and forums, send
the link to your mobile phone contacts, etc. What happened is against
media ethics, so show solidarity today! Please also read the following petition:

Epilepsy Toronto


To all those who expressed concern about 
references to the Prophet Mohammed on the Epilepsy Toronto 
website,

Wed like to thank you for bringing your 
concerns to our attention, and for sharing with us your perspective that calls 
into question the authenticity of historical writings linking Mohammed and 
epilepsy.As a gesture of respect, and in the interest of goodwill between 
communities, we have decided to remove these references from our site. 


At the same time, its important to us that you 
understand our position that epilepsy in no way diminishes the value of a human 
being, great or otherwise. Far too long has epilepsy been misunderstood 
and stigmatized in this world. It needs to be seen that people with 
epilepsy are people, first and foremost, no different than you and I, with 
dignity and humanity. This is our mantra. We need to know that, when 
your brother or friend or neighbor has a seizure, they will not be treated 
differently or with any less respect than others, and that you will stand by 
their side defending their rights with the same sort of passion that you have 
expressed to us regarding your faith. 


We hope too, that you will see this 
encounter as an opportunity for further dialogue and new learning between us, 
and extend our hand to you in the service of the Toronto Muslim epilepsy 
community.Perhaps, together, we can set an example for the rest of 
the world to follow.
Respectfully 
yours,

Today there are major protests in Kolkata, India and in Pakistan. 

It is now evident from the outcome of the Pakistan protests that
Musharraf believes that McDonald's, KFC and Citibank count for a lot
more than the lives of Muslims.

[IslamCity] BREAKING: 1/3 OF DANISH TROOPS SCHEDULED FOR IRAQ NOW CHOOSE TO DESERT

2006-02-15 Thread assalamu_alaikum_1427

Assalamu aleikum.

This is breaking news.

Because of the continuing protests by Muslims over the insolent
drawings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), 1/3 of the Danish Army
scheduled for deployment in Iraq have just now fled their posts. The
enlisted personnel who would serve as cannon fodder are especially
involved.

All this shows that real Muslims are protesting worldwide effectively,
while the moderate Carlsberg Muslims continue to work overtime to
hijack the protest movement from Islam and the Muslims and render the
protests ineffective through diplomacy. Think of the many Muslim
lives that have now been saved through the desertion of 1/3 of the
sadistic Danish army.

Islamic Community Net provides here a free translation preceding the
Dagbladet article below, which is in Danish. Those with better
knowledge of Danish are invited to post their own.

Danish soldiers do not want to go to Iraq
Dagbladet Information
February 13, 2006
http://www.information.dk/InfWebsite/FremvisningPHP/Common/Information.php?pShow==Ritzau/RitArtVis.phppRitVis=8749

A large number of soldiers who were to be sent to Iraq deserted at the
last moment. New figures from Jyske Dragonregiment in Holstebro show,
that almost one-third of the soldiers from the Army's Reaktionsstyrke
Uddannelse, who are liable for military service abroad are those who
fled. At Hærens the enlisted men are certain that the caricatures of
the Prophet Muhammad are mainly responsible for the desertions.

I think that the meaning is completely clear, when at home around the
kitchen table one has to decide about the husband, the wife, the son
or the daughter leaving on such a mission while the newspapers are
full of threats to Danes every day says chairman in HKKF, Flemming
D.V. Nielsen.

Et stort antal soldater, som skulle være sendt af sted til Irak, er
hoppet fra i sidste øjeblik. Nye tal fra Jyske Dragonregiment i
Holstebro viser, at næsten hver tredje soldat fra Hærens
Reaktionsstyrke Uddannelse, som skal ruste de værnepligtige til
tjeneste i udlandet, er sprunget fra. Hos Hærens Konstabel- og
Korporalforening er man sikker på, at Muhammed-tegningerne bærer en
del af skylden for frafaldet.

- Jeg tror helt klart, det har betydning, når man sidder hjemme
omkring køkkenbordet og skal beslutte om manden, konen, sønnen eller
datteren skal tage af sted på sådan en mission, og aviserne så er
fyldte hver evig eneste dag med trusler mod danskere, siger formand i
HKKF, Flemming D.V. Nielsen.

Fatwa Question DetailsTitle Are Violent Protests Against Anti-Prophet Cartoon Acceptable?QuestionRespected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. You are aware of the worldwide anger atand protests against the publishing of anti-Prophet cartoons in some European newspapers. However, some people, in their rage, overreacted and set fire to some Danish Embassies. Is this right? What is the acceptable course for angered Muslims to follow? Jazakum Allahu khayran.
Date 07/Feb/2006Mufti Maher Hathout, Jamal Badawi, Muhammad Nur AbdullahAnswerWa`alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Dearest brother, thanks for your question and concern about the affairs of your fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. In principle, public and peaceful protests against the anti-Prophet cartoons are absolutely permissible and legitimate, for they are an _expression_ of the viewpoint of the demonstrators against the provocative
insults to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, these protests and demonstrations do not warrant riots or destructive acts against public or private property. They also do not warrant burning or destroying others' properties. Such acts are wrongdoings that cannot be justified by the mistakes of some individuals, communities, or even countries. Muslim scholars and institutions should educate and spread awareness among Muslims regarding Islamic ethics and morals that protect and safeguard people's rights and properties with no discrimination on the basis of religion, race, culture, etc. Islam, as a religion of mercy and justice, safeguards people's life, property, and honor. It is in this light that Islam prohibits aggression against innocent people, Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The Qur'an and the Sunnah are abundant with provisions that crystallize and emphasize this principle. Responding to your question, Sheikh MuhammedNurAbdullah, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and member of the Fiqh Council of North America, states the following:First of all, the anti-Prophet cartoons are very insulting and unacceptable to all people of faith. Even the Vatican condemned this type of defamatory media. It is not about freedom of speech, because freedom of speech does not mean to insult people's faiths or their religious figures.However, this does not justify violence in responding to this ridicule of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). We all know the teaching of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) where he said, "Whoever hurts a dhimmi (non-Muslim
living under the protection of the a Muslim state), it is as if he has hurt me."The right course to be followed, however, is as follows:1. Express anger and protest in a polite way through rallies and peaceful demonstrations. 2. Send e-mails to relevant authorities to inform them about our stance. 3. Boycott the products of the countries that did not apologize for the defamation of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). 4. Launch a campaign to educate the people about Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the right response; burning embassies is totally rejected and highly condemned. Dr. Jamal Badawi, professor of religious studies and management at St. Mary's University, and vice-chairman of the Islamic American University, adds this:I see that peaceful protests are legitimate. However, resorting to violence is not. The great Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for whose sake we protest taught us to control our anger and to be just, even in the battlefield. Response should be legitimate, just, intelligent and non-destructive. Also, Dr. Maher Hathout, director of the Islamic Center of Southern California and senior advisor of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, says this:The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is too noble and too great to have his image affected by such an impolite projection. However, the over-reaction especially the acts of violence of some Muslims is completely misguided for the following reasons: It is really getting us where our enemies want us to be so that we are looking to the world as a bunch of emotional, uncontrollable, and violent people. We are directing our anger to the wrong target, as this is not the act of the Danish government, and the government there has no authority whatsoever on the press. We really diverted our attention away from other major issues that are also causing extreme suffering to Muslims. Moreover, the suggested course of action referred to

[IslamCity] BRITS FEAR MUSLIMS AS REALIZATION SETS IN THAT THIS IS A WAR AGAINST ISLAM

2006-02-15 Thread assalamu_alaikum_1427

Assalamu aleikum.

The blinders are off and there is growing recognition by Muslims
worldwide that the phony so-called war on terror has actually all
along been a war on Islam, a point that Islamic Community Net has made
from its inception. The Brits of Poodle Blair fear the Muslims now
that the truth is out and the so-called moderates can no longer

Army fears reprisals as Blair orders abuse video inquiry
Richard Norton-Taylor
The Guardian
Monday February 13, 2006
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,,1708480,00.html

Military commanders yesterday stepped up security for British troops
in Iraq and Afghanistan in the wake of a video apparently showing
soldiers brutally attacking defenceless Iraqi teenagers.

The video was shown on TV channels in the Arab world just as ministers
and Muslim leaders are trying to dampen the row over the publication
of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad, and when thousands of
British troops are preparing to be deployed to the hostile environment
of southern Afghanistan.

It has come at a bad time, a senior defence source admitted. The
Ministry of Defence, still reeling after a series of cases of alleged
abuse of Iraqis by British troops, said that the video appeared
genuine, describing it as extremely disturbing, and saying military
police had begun an urgent investigation.

The film is described as a secret home video which was obtained by
the News of the World, and apparently was filmed from a rooftop for
fun by a corporal who is heard laughing and urging on at least eight
of his colleagues. It shows the troops repeatedly kicking and punching
civilians with batons after seizing them following riots two years ago
in the Basra region in which British forces were attacked. Another
soldier, apparently a corporal, mocks the youths and urges his
colleagues on. The newspaper declined to name the regiment, understood
to be based in Germany, to try to avoid reprisals.

The 20 Armoured Brigade, based in Paderborn, Germany, was deployed in
southern Iraq until April 2004, a period that covered the riots in March.

The brigade included the 1st Battalion Light Infantry, the 1st
Battalion the Royal Regiment of Wales, the Queen's Royal Hussars, and
26 Royal Artillery. The brigade was replaced in April by 1 Mechanised
Brigade.

The footage risks aggravating already delicate relations between
British forces in southern Iraq and the local population. Last night,
an ally of the radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr warned that
demonstrators would take to the streets in Basra in protest at the
apparent abuse.

Political sensitivity surrounding the damaging and highly embarrassing
video was reflected in ministers, from Tony Blair down, rushing to
join a combined exercise in damage limitation.

The only minister who did not do so was the defence secretary, John
Reid, on the grounds that he could be part of the chain of command
who could decide what punishment, if any, should be meted out to the
soldiers.

Tony Blair said: We take seriously any allegations of mistreatment
and those will be investigated very fully indeed.

But he added that the overwhelming majority of British troops
behaved properly and did a great job for our country and for the
wider world. They deserved the fullest support for their role in Iraq.

Speaking at a press conference in South Africa where he is attending a
summit of centre-left leaders, the prime minister said: Their
presence there, under a United Nations resolution, helping Iraqis
become the democracy they want to become, is of fundamental
importance, not just to the security in Iraq but to the security of my
country, Britain, and the wider international community.

The chancellor, Gordon Brown, said that if the allegations were true,
they showed unacceptable behaviour. Speaking on the BBC's Sunday AM
programme, Mr Brown said the loyal, hard-working, decent troops in
Iraq would see the allegations as a slight on their great work. The
shadow foreign secretary, Liam Fox, said British troops must adhere
to the highest possible standards but added that the behaviour was
not typical. The Liberal Democrat defence spokesman, Michael Moore,
said that the allegations increased the urgency of setting a plan to
pull troops out.

Sir Iqbal Sacranie, secretary general of the Muslim Council of
Britain, called the images appalling and said they would cause
enormous damage to our standing in the Muslim world.

He warned that it would put British troops in greater peril. In
Iraq, Akil al-Bahadily, an official from the Basra office of Moqtada
al-Sadr, said: This is good proof of the violations of human rights
being committed by British troops in Basra.

[IslamCity] Cartoons, Voltaire and the Non-Clash of Civilisations

2006-02-15 Thread shorketh ali

Cartoons, Voltaire and the Non-Clash of CivilisationsWho said politics was boring, as Mark Warner the ex Governor of Virginia said recently we are not witnessing 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.Of course its not pitched like that, for most people the West remains the bastion of intellectual progress, vibrancy and enlightenment. For them the Muslim attitude towards the Danish cartoons has an uncanny resemblance to their own dark ages, a period characterised by oppression, material backwardness and stagnation. The philosophical differences are not confined to what they perceive as fanatical Muslim censorship. Issues such as womens rights in Islam, the calls for the establishment of Shariah or Muslims overt religious devotion also sit uncomfortably with the secular liberal order. Most commentators in
the West believe that such Islamic values belong more to the first century than the twenty first.However the cartoons issue is the latest example to demonstrate that the west is losing its inner confidence, compromising its core beliefs and constantly alluding to a past utopian enlightenment age. For most people the idea of a clash of civilisations is an anathema, but even if you dont like the word clash as it may imply perpetual war, even a pre-requisite to a dialogue of civilisations is that both civilisations stand up passionately for their core beliefs. In the cartoons controversy, we havent seen that, the Muslims have collectively stood up for their beliefs, yet the Western response has been anemic to say the least. Dont get me wrong; I have profound philosophical differences with secular liberalism and absolute freedom of speech, yet
even I can respect its viewpoint when coherently articulated. Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of Western civilisation, of individual liberty, of free market capitalism, of material humanism and of representative democracy; it is the foundation on which the entire secular liberal ideology resides. Voltaires infamous aphorism of defending to death the right for people to speak is an integral part of the Wests cultural DNA. Yet throughout the cartoons issue, you would have thought freedom of _expression_ was an optional extra traded away to ensure a return to an arid status quo. But
surely the West did defend its beliefs I hear you say, as much as the Muslims defended theirs. Of course some did, but the main pillars of Western society didnt and for very unprincipled reasons. The US and British governments who claim to be bringing Western values to Iraq couldnt even defend their ideological cousins in Denmark, for fear of losing even more popularity in the Muslim world. Most newspapers and TV stations in the US and Britain did not reproduce the cartoons not because they were not newsworthy but because of fear of reprisals. Even in continental Europe, there were mixed messages with the French President condemning the publication of the images, so much for the sanctity of free speech in La Republique. The abandonment of free speech wasnt confined to governments and the fourth estate; big business the other major pillar of Western society was also driving a horse and carriage through the sanctity of free speech. Nestle showed their solidarity with their
corporate colleagues in Scandinavia, by taking out advertisements in Saudi newspapers stating they werent Danish. Lastly there were no widespread demonstrations by the Western public mirroring those seen by the Muslims to defend the concept of freedom of speech, so much for a clash of civilisations.Of course the cartoons issue is just the latest example of Western civilisations sacrifice of key principles for expediency, following Guantanomo Bay, the illegal Iraq war, draconian anti-terror legislation and Abu Ghraib. The Muslim world as opposed to its opportunistic and dictatorial leaders have shown the future, a world where principles, values and
sacred beliefs are put ahead of economic interests, cheap popularity and political expediency. Many may disagree with the small amount of violence accompanying the worldwide demonstrations from Jakarta to Tunis, however we cannot ignore the passion of those demonstrating. Principle, passion and sacrificing for a higher purpose are moribund concepts in the secular West. Muslims in there millions across the globe have shown the world that there are things worth fighting for, other than oil and reconstruction contracts.

[IslamCity] Lived A guilty Life For Ignoring Jihad.

2006-02-15 Thread Aqsa *

In the name of Allah most gracious most mercifulAssalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhuThree companions of Prophet Muhammad salle ala hu alaihi wa sallam[peace be upon him] lived a guilty life for Ignoring Jihad .For 50 nights they wittnessed live of guilt and social boycott.Then Allah revealed the verse related their forgiveness.And we muslims have given up Jihad for live.A life of degradation and debasement.Begging honour from kuffar ,instead of becoming the servants of Allah we've choosen to become servants of his enemies.Jihad if the only solution and Jihad demands Taqwa[Piety]9:117Allah turned with favor to the prophet the Muhajirs and the Ansar who followed Him in a time of distress after that the hearts of a part of them had nearly swerved (from duty); but He
turned to them (also): for He is unto them Most Kind Most Merciful. 118(He turned in mercy also) to the three who were left Behind: (they felt guilty) to such a degree that the earth seemed constrained to them for all its speciousness and their (very) souls seemed straitened to them and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allah and no refuge but to Himself. Then He turned to them that they might repent: for Allah is Oft-Returning Most Merciful.119O ye who believe! fear Allah and be with those who are true (in word and deed). Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 5.702Narrated byAbdullah bin Kab bin MalikWho, from among Kab's sons, was the guide of Kab when he became blind: I heard Kab bin Malik narrating the story of (the Ghazwa of) Tabuk in which he failed to take part. Kab said, "I did not remain behind Allah's Apostle in any Ghazwa that he fought
except the Ghazwa of Tabuk, and I failed to take part in the Ghazwa of Badr, but Allah did not admonish anyone who had not participated in it, for in fact, Allah's Apostle had gone out in search of the caravan of Quraish till Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims) and their enemy meet without any appointment.I witnessed the night of Al-'Aqaba (pledge) with Allah's Apostle when we pledged for Islam, and I would not exchange it for the Badr battle although the Badr battle is more popular amongst the people than it (i.e. Al-'Aqaba pledge). As for my news (in this battle of Tabuk), I had never been stronger or wealthier than I was when I remained behind the Prophet in that Ghazwa. By Allah, never had I two she-camels before, but I had then at the time of this Ghazwa. Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted to make a Ghazwa, he used to hide his intention by apparently referring to different Ghazwa till it was the time of that Ghazwa (of Tabuk)
which Allah's Apostle fought in severe heat, facing a long journey, desert, and the great number of enemy. So the Prophet announced to the Muslims clearly (their destination) so that they might get prepared for their Ghazwa. So he informed them clearly of the destination he was going to. Allah's Apostle was accompanied by a large number of Muslims who could not be listed in a book namely, a register." Ka'b added, "Any man who intended to be absent would think that the matter would remain hidden unless Allah revealed it through Divine Revelation. So Allah's Apostle fought that Ghazwa at the time when the fruits had ripened and the shade looked pleasant. Allah's Apostle and his companions prepared for the battle and I started to go out in order to get myself ready along with them, but I returned without doing anything. I would say to myself, 'I can do that.' So I kept on delaying it every now and then till the people got ready and Allah's Apostle and
the Muslims along with him departed, and I had not prepared anything for my departure, and I said, I will prepare myself (for departure) one or two days after him, and then join them.' In the morning following their departure, I went out to get myself ready but returned having done nothing. Then again in the next morning, I went out to get ready but returned without doing anything. Such was the case with me till they hurried away and the battle was missed (by me). Even then I intended to depart to take them over. I wish I had done so! But it was not in my luck. So, after the departure of Allah's Apostle, whenever I went out and walked amongst the people (i.e, the remaining persons), it grieved me that I could see none around me, but one accused of hypocrisy or one of those weak men whom Allah had excused. Allah's Apostle did not remember me till he reached Tabuk. So while he was sitting amongst the people in Tabuk, he said, 'What did Ka'b do?' A man from Banu Salama
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! He has been stopped by his two Burdas (i.e. garments) and his looking at his own flanks with pride.' Then Mu'adh bin Jabal said, 'What a bad thing you have said! By Allah! O Allah's Apostle! We know nothing about him but good.' Allah's Apostle kept silent." Ka'b bin Malik added, "When I heard that he (i.e. the Prophet) was on his way back to Medina, I got dipped in my concern, and began to

The Pope was Jewish says historian by Riazat Butt 12 February 2006 http://www.metronews.co.uk/news/article/0/346_the_pope_was_jewish_says_historian.html LINEAGE: Pope John PaulA MANCHESTER historian has
claimed that Pope John Paul II was Jewish.Yaakov Wise says his study into the the maternal ancestry of Karol Josez Wojtyla (John Paul II's real name) has revealed startling conclusions. Mr Wise, a researcher in orthodox Jewish history and philosophy, said the late Pope's mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were all probably Jewish and came from a small town not far from Krakow.The Pope was a priest and cardinal archbishop in the Polish city before his election to the papacy. Mr Wise said: "According to orthodox Judaism, a person's Jewish identity is passed down through the maternal line. I saw a photograph of the Pope's mother and I showed it to people who didn't know who she was. "They all said she looked Jewish. So I started doing more investigations about her background."Although he believes the Pope's father was an ethnic Pole, he thinks that John Paul's mother Emilia Kaczorowski - Emily Katz in English - was Jewish and that
she was the daughter of Feliks Kaczowski, a businessman from Biala-Bielsko in Poland. Katz is a common surname amongst East European Jewish families. Emilia's mother, the Pope's grandmother, was Maria Anna Scholz. Scholz, or Schulze, is also a common surname among Jews, as is Rybicka, or Ryback, which is the surname of the Pope's great-grandmother Zuzanna. All the names or their variations appear on gravestones in the old Biala Jewish cemetery, as does the surname of Felik's mother Urszula Maklinowska. Mr Wise said: "The Pope's ancestry has been researched by an American historian. "But nobody has traced the family name through the Jewish community and, as Jewish historian, I have access to information that a non-Jewish historian wouldn't know about."I'm not making any firm conclusions, but what I'm saying is that there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to say that he was Jewish. "The Pope's mother married out of the Jewish community to wed
a Catholic. Her children were born and raised as Catholics and the Pope was baptised. It would shed light on why the Pope had to go into hiding from the Nazis in November 1940. "If he had been a pure ethnic Pole this would not have been necessary. "It would also explain why this Pope in particular felt a strong desire to improve relations between the Church of Rome and the Jewish people." rian by Riazat Butt 12 February 2006 http://www.metronews.co.uk/news/article/0/346_the_pope_was_jewish_says_historian.html LINEAGE: Pope John PaulA MANCHESTER historian has claimed that Pope John Paul II was Jewish.Yaakov Wise says his study into the the maternal ancestry of Karol Josez Wojtyla (John Paul II's real name) has revealed startling conclusions.

[IslamCity] Hypocrite Danish Cartoon Editor on Indefinite Leave

We Muslims BELIEVE that We Will Have the LAST LAUGH (Insha Allah). And the person who LAUGHS LAST WILL LAUGH THE LOUDESTDanish Cartoon Editor on Indefinite LeaveBy DAN BILEFSKY Published: February 11, 2006 http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/11/international/europe/11denmark.html?pagewanted=all COPENHAGEN, Feb. 10 Flemming Rose, the Danish editor whose decision to publish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad helped provoke weeks of fury in the Muslim world, said in an interview on Friday that he was leaving his newspaper on indefinite vacation. Mr. Rose, 47, stood by the decision of the newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, to publish the caricatures, citing freedom of the press. And he refused to apologize for the drawings, which were seen by many Muslims as sacrilegious and have prompted widespread protests, boycotts of Danish goods and the burning of Danish diplomatic missions in the Middle East.He said in an interview, however, that the stress of recent events had given him sleepless nights. "I am thankful that the
newspaper has given me the chance to recover," said Mr. Rose, who is the newspaper's culture editor. "I am tired. In the middle of a crisis, you do not always recognize the tensions placed on you. I'm glad someone on the paper had the guts to make the decision to give me a break, because sometimes you want to keep on fighting."The vacation announcement comes after weeks of violent clashes in Europe, Asia and the Middle East over the cartoons. At least 11 people have died.After a brief lull on Thursday, demonstrations resumed as thousands of Muslims emerged from Friday Prayer and took to the streets in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, The Associated Press reported. The protests were mostly peaceful, but in Nairobi, Kenya, the police shot and wounded one person as officers tried to keep about 200 demonstrators from marching to the
residence of Denmark's ambassador, The A.P. reported. In Tehran about 60 protesters threw stones, firecrackers and firebombs at the French Embassy, shattering nearly every window on its street front, even after a prominent cleric urged people not to attack diplomatic missions. Egypt had its largest protests yet, with demonstrations in most major cities. In El Mahalla el Kubra, security forces used tear gas and water cannons to break up a march of about 15,000 people after protesters threw rocks and attacked shops and cars. Muslim leaders in Denmark said Mr. Rose's leave was unlikely to be enough to lessen tensions in the Muslim world. "I am not his boss, but I would fire him," said Imam Abdul Wahid Pedersen, a prominent Muslim leader in Copenhagen. "What he did is disgraceful, and I can't even begin to understand what has gone on in his head."In France, where the editor of France Soir the first newspaper there to reprint all 12 cartoons was fired last week, some Muslim leaders considered the fact that Mr. Rose had taken a leave a small victory. "That's very good news," said Mohamed Henniche, president of the Union of Muslim Associations in a department northeast of Paris. "It shows that there is an evolution and that people recognize that offense
has been caused."After the publication of the cartoons in Denmark and Norway in September, and the republication last week by France Soir, the satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo followed suit. Several Muslim organizations in France said they were planning legal action against Charlie Hebdo for
incitement of hatred.Mr. Rose acknowledged it had been a mistake to say in an interview with CNN on Wednesday that the paper intended to reprint Holocaust cartoons as part of a contest being sponsored by an Iranian newspaper. He said he had no intention to offend Jews, but had suggested publishing the Holocaust cartoons in order to document cultural satire in the Middle East for a Danish audience.Mr. Rose also said he had erred in suggesting on Danish television that Jyllands-Posten should reprint previous cartoons satirizing Christians and Jews, including a drawing of the Star of David in the shape of a bomb by a cartoonist who drew one of the Muhammad cartoons."I wanted to show that in Denmark we do not have an anti-Muslim bias and that we had published these cartoons before without having
riots or boycotts of Danish goods in Israel or Christian countries," he said. Last Saturday, Jyllands-Posten did publish cartoons from the Arab world; one showed Auschwitz with a tower draped in the Israeli flag.The paper apologized last week for offending Muslims, but has steadfastly stood by its decision to print the Muhammad cartoons. "I feel sorry if Muslims feel offended and that was not the intention," Mr. Rose said. "But the cartoons were within the acceptable boundaries of
free speech in Denmark."The crisis began in early September when Mr. Rose commissioned the cartoons. He said he came up with the idea after the Danish writer Kare Bluitgen, the author of a children's book about

[IslamCity] Freedom for Danish Bacon � Part 2

2006-02-15 Thread Alan Border

Let not the unbelievers think that they can get the better (of the godly): they will never frustrate (them). Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly. But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all
things). (Al-Qur'an, 8:59-61 (Al-Anfal [Spoils of War, Booty])Freedom
for Danish Bacon Part 2 Yamin Zakaria http://www.iiop.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] London, UKBenjamin Disraeli was partially right - there are lies (e.g. alleged murder of six million Jews by the Nazis), damn lies (e.g. Iraqs WMDs) and statistics (unknown deaths of Arabs/Muslims versus the known deaths of Westerners/Israelis). He forgot the worst lies of all - the obscene lies of hypocrites. So the phrase should read like this: there are four types of lies: - lies, damn lies, obscene lies, and statistics. Those offended by
my reference to holocaust (or holohoax) should see it as an example of free speech and understand that; - nobody likes to be at the receiving end of someone elses free speech! If you cannot tolerate being at the receiving end, than do not expect others to tolerate being put in that position. Certainly, do not expect to dictate terms of reprisal to them after putting them in that position. The West and Israel is screaming about the cartoons that have started to emerge from the Muslims on the holocaust issue. Yes, we have seen this before, scream about the suicide bombers, while dropping much larger bombs on their cities. So everyone is asking: why we cant scrutinise the holocaust? Why is it so sacred? Why cant this be subjected to the free speech test? What makes the
Jews so sacred but not the Prophet of Islam (SAW) or the Prophet of Christians? Is this all because the Jews are a chosen people and the rest of us are gentiles (Goyeem), therefore expendable? Jyllands-Posten (JP) refused to publish drawings lampooning Prophet Jesus (AS) on the basis that it would offend Christians (and rightly so!). This is
clear proof of their awareness of religious sensitivities and damming evidence that they mocked Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to cause offence to the Muslims. Also, the editor of Jyllands-Posten, Fleming Rose, who originally published the "offensive" Muslim cartoons, is a disciple of the American Julius Streicher (a leading Nazi ideologue) - Daniel Pipes. No surprise there! The jigsaw pieces fit perfectly. This explains why they will not entertain any similar cartoons on the holocaust issue. The Danish newspapers claim that publishing the satirical cartoons was a test of free-speech is based on double standards, and proven to be an obscene lie. The motive was to offend a
particular community i.e. Muslims. Clearly one can smell the stench emanating from the rotten Danish bacon as they issue a token apology and spin new excuses to suppress the smell. Like the person not bathing for weeks or the one lacking toilet-hygiene skills, then uses an expensive perfume, but it cannot contain the real stench. Indeed, only someone possessing the traits and the morality of a pig would mock a man who is dead and unable to answer the charges,
a man who has over one billion followers! Therefore, the Danish cartoonist and their ilk are not only cowards by their nature but they also resemble their Danish Bacon (pig) in other ways. I am not referring to their sexual freedom that is making them closer to the species on four legs as they gradually remove the traditional taboos inherited from
Christianity. They resemble the pigs as many of them do not know the identity of their fathers, even if they knew, they were never loved. As a result they do not understand why it is wrong to hurt the feeling of someone elses father; especially the father who was innocent, caring and has passed way. Remember, unlike those pigs, we know the identity of the father, grandfather, great-grandfather of Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (SAW) and this goes for most of the Muslim community (Ummah)! Only Arab Cartoons but no Israeli Cartoons!Some
are attempting to justify the Danish cartoons by equating the political cartoons that appear in the Arab media. Political cartoons appear in all societies as form of _expression of their political views related to a certain reality. They are quick to cite Arab cartoons without making any references to the Israeli cartoons or the constant anti-Islamic, anti-Arab, anti-Muslim cartoons and the massive propaganda in the Western media on a far larger scale. The political cartoons exhibited by both sides, they have no relationship with the deliberate mocking of Prophet of Islam or any other Prophets.
