[media-dakwah] Terror is Me or Terrorisme?
Tulisan dari seorang teman, semoga bermanfaat. Terror is Me or Terrorisme ? Agaknya kita sudah terlalu kenyang disuapi kata-kata terorisme oleh Amerika dan antek-anteknya. Mereka sepertinya tidak bosan berperang untuk menunjukkan bahwa mereka yang sebenarnya harus ditakuti oleh dunia sekarang ini. Baru saja perang Afghanistan berlalu, dengan sigap mereka segera mencanangkan perang terhadap Irak dengan alasan mengada-ada: Irak mengembangkan senjata pemusnah massal. Namun, siapa pun di dunia ini sangat mengetahui bahwa negara yang paling banyak dan paling dahsyat bersenjata pemusnah massal adalah Amerika Serikat. Ini bahkan dikatakan sendiri oleh rakyat Amerika Serikat dalam sebuah wawancara di TV ketika terjadinya demo antiperang di sana sebelum perang berlangsung. Saddam dengan Iraknya belum berbuat apa-apa sudah dibilang teroris, kemudian digempur habis-habisan. Seperti biasa, dalam setiap perang yang dilakoni Amerika Serikat, pastilah rakyat sipil yang menjadi korban utama. Bagi Amerika, tidak penting membedakan antara tentara dan rakyat jelata, yang penting menang dan tujuan tercapai. Bukan hanya kali ini Amerika tega berbuat demikian. Nagasaki dan Hiroshima adalah bukti nyata kekejaman mereka. Namun, jika berhadapan dengan militer murni, mereka biasanya keok, seperti di perang Korea dan Vietnam. Jadi, sekarang dalam setiap perang Amerika Serikat selalu mengajak pihak lain untuk ikut membantu, agar tidak hanya mereka yang menjadi korban. Runtuhnya kekuatan Uni Sovyet telah mendorong Amerika Serikat untuk semakin menampakkan kecongkakkannya di hadapan seluruh negara dunia. Bahkan, PBB pun mereka kangkangi, kalau yang ini sebenarnya sudah lama berlangsung, sejak berdirinya PBB. Selama ini badan memble ini hanyalah sebagai alat legitimasi bagi kepentingan Amerika Serikat dan antek-anteknya. Selalu yang menjadi sekjen PBB adalah tokoh dari negara kecil, yang tentunya tidak berani apa-apa. Tinggal di Amerika saja, bagi mereka yang diangkat jadi sekJen, mungkin sudah luar biasa. Amerika sendiri sebenarnya adalah alat terdahsyat dari kepentingan negara Yahudi Israel. Selama ini Amerika plus Inggrislah yang selalu membela Israel, membantu, dan menyediakan apa saja yang dikehendaki oleh negara itu. Demokrasi dan hak asasi manusia adalah tunggangan utama mereka untuk menekan negara-negara dunia. Mereka tampil seolah-oleh yang paling menjaga demokrasi dan HAM. Padahal, merekalah yang paling tinggi pelanggarannya dalam hal itu. Tetapi, begitulah bintang film, bisa berakting sesuai pesanan sutradara. Maklumlah, Amerika memang sarangnya film dan bintang film, sebuah budaya yang mereka sebarkan ke seluruh dunia untuk membentuk opini dunia. Secara verbal Amerika Serikat sekarang sangat lantang meneriakkan antiterorisme, bahkan hampir tidak ada yang berani membantah. Kalaupun ada yang membantah, suaranya hanya terdengar oleh mereka sendiri. Kekuatan media dan informasi sangat mereka pahami. Sehingga mereka mengetahui bagaimana menggunakannya. Namun, secara tindakan nyata Amerika sebenarnya sedang memainkan peran antagonis, yaitu sebagai teroris dalam lakon yang diatur sendiri. Yang menjadi masalah adalah Amerika berperan sekaligus sebagai Arnold Schwarzeneger lakon penumpas teroris dalam film-film Holywood. Akibatnya, begitu si teroris bertindak dan keasyikan dengan aksi-aksi brutalnya, sang penumpas tidak nongol-nongol, karena ia yang memerankannya. Jadi bagaimana? Harus ada pemeran lain yang tampil sebagai penumpas teroris, entah siapa dia, yang penting bukan PBB. Yang jelas pemeran terorisnya tetap Amerika Serikat. Karena, walaupun dia teriak anti teroris, kenyataan membuktikan sebaliknya. Amerika Serikat sekarang sedang lantang meneriakkan sebuah tantangan bagi dunia dengan aksi-aksinya: ?TERROR IS ME... TERROR IS ME? Biarlah mereka berbuat sesuka mereka sekarang. Kemenangan dan kesenangan adalah tipu daya bagi bangsa perusak. Israel adalah pihak yang sangat diuntungkan dengan perang ini. Karena, Israel selama ini sangat ketakutan akan kebangkitan bangsa Arab muslim. Dalam hal ini Irak ternyata mengalami kemajuan teknologi militer yang cukup signifikan dibanding yang lainnya. Menghadapi batu saja bangsa Yahudi ini sangat ketakutan, apalagi menghadapi rudal dan peluru. Lalu, dengan sangat licik mereka menggiring Amerika ke dalam perang melalui penasihat keamanan dan pertahan si Bush yang notabene keturunan Yahudi si Condoleeza Rice. Wallahu al-musta'an. - Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [media-dakwah] DUHHH...POLIGAMI
Assalamu'alaikum waRohmatulahi waBorakaatuh. Hyaa nih akhi Hilma (H.Abubakar)...janganlah n ndak perlulah antum or org2 awam lainnya pada sewot dlm masalah Poligami yang dilakukan oleh seorang AA yg menjadi Public Figur sebagian besar umat islam di Indonesia dan bebrapa warga muslim di mancanegaraklo memang belum tahu mengenai ilmu or hukum Poligami yg sudah jelas2 hak menurut Al-Qur'an dan As-Sunah.. Perlu diketahi bahwa berpoligami itu hukumnya sunnah bagi yang mampu, karena firmanNya. Artinya : Dan jika kamu takut tidak akan dapat berlaku adil terhadap (hak-hak) perempuan yatim (bilama kamu mengawininya), maka kawinilah wanita-wanita (lain) yang kamu senangi ; dua, tiga atau empat. Kemudian jika kamu takut tidak akan dapat berlaku adil, maka (kawinilah) seorang saja, atau budak-budak yang kamu miliki. Yang demikian itu adalah lebih dekat kepada tidak berbuat aniaya [An-Nisa : 3] Dan praktek Rasulullah Shallallahu alaihi wa sallam itu sendiri, dimana beliau mengawini sembilan wanita dan dengan mereka Allah memberikan manfaat besar bagi ummat ini. Yang demikian itu (sembilan istri) adalah khusus bagi beliau, sedang selain beliau dibolehkan berpoligami tidak lebih dari empat istri. Berpoligami itu mengandung banyak maslahat yang sangat besar bagi kaum laki-laki, kaum wanita dan Ummat Islam secara keseluruhan. Sebab, dengan berpoligami dapat dicapai oleh semua pihak, tunduknya pandangan (ghaddul bashar), terpeliharanya kehormatan, keturunan yang banyak, lelaki dapat berbuat banyak untuk kemaslahatan dan kebaikan para istri dan melindungi mereka dari berbagai faktor penyebab keburukan dan penyimpangan. Tetapi orang yang tidak mampu berpoligami dan takut kalau tidak dapat berlaku adil, maka hendaknya cukup kawin dengan satu istri saja, karena Allah berfirman. Artinya : Kemudian jika kamu takut tidak akan dapat berlaku adil, maka (kawinilah) seorang saja. [An-Nisa : 3] Oleh karena itulah ada hadits Nabi yang bersumber dari riwayat Aisyah Radhiyallahu anha. Beliau berkata. Artinya : Rasulullah Shallallahu âalaihi wa sallam melakukan pembagian (di antara istri-istrinya) dan beliau berlaku adil, dan beliau berdoa : Ya Allah inilah pembagianku menurut kemampuanku, maka janganlah Engkau mencercaku di dalam hal yang mampu Engkau lakukan dan aku tidak mampu melakukannya [Diriwayatkan oleh Abu Daud, At-Timidzi, An-Nasai, Ibnu Majah dan dinilai Shahih oleh Ibnu Hibban dan Al-Hakim] Nah marilah kita cermati permasalhan poligami yang dilakukan oleh seorang AA (dia itu hanyalah seorang manusian biasa spt kita ini) dengan ilmu dan bukan dengan emosi sesaat yg sering menipu, seperti yang umi safa tuliskan pada email tsb dibawah. Rasulullah Shallallahu alaihi wa sallam bersabda. Artinya : Dan Allah akan menolong seorang hamba selagi ia suka menolong saudaranya [Riwayat Imam Muslim] Anda adalah saudara seiman bagi istri anda, dan istri anda adalah saudara seiman anda. Maka yang benar bagi anda berdua adalah saling tolong menolong di dalam kebaikan. Dalam sebuah hadits yang muttafaq alaih bersumber dari Ibnu Umar Radhiyallahu anhuma bahwasanya Nabi Shallallahu alaihi wa sallam telah bersabda. Artinya : Barangsiapa yang menunaikan keperluan saudaranya, niscaya Allah menunaikan keperluannya Akan tetapi keridhaan istri itu bukan syarat di dalam boleh atau tidaknya poligami (menikah lagi), namun keridhaannya itu diperlukan agar hubungan di antara kamu berdua tetap baik. Semoga Allah memperbaiki keadaan semua pihak dan semoga Dia mencatat bagi kamu berdua kesudahan yang terpuji. Amin. Nah...seperti yang kita ketahui bersama di mas media electronik maupun koran2 istri AAGym sdh mersetui. Sesungguhnya sebaik-baik ucapan adalah ucapan Allah, dan sebaik-baik petunjuk adalah petunjuk Rasulullah Shollallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam Sebaliknya sejelek-jelek perkara adalah apa yang diada-adakan dalam dien karena setiap yang diada-adakan dalam dien adalah bidah, dan setiap bidah adalah kesesatan, dan setiap yang sesat di neraka. Semoga Allah memberi taufiq kepada segenap kaum Muslimin menuju apa yang menjadi kemaslahatn dan kesalamatan bagi kita semua di dunia dan akhirat.Aamin.

Wa'alaikum salam.. Menurut kami, semua perbuatan Rasulullah adalah contoh dan tauladan bagi kita semua. Semua perbuatan dan perkataan Rasul bukan tidak mungkin bisa dilakukan. Rasul bersifat jujur dan amanah, kita pun bisa seperti itu. Rasulullah bijaksana, kita pun bisa seperti itu. Rasulullah kuat dan pemberani, kita pun bisa seperti itu. Rasulullah berbuat adil, kita pun bisa seperti itu. Rasulullah wajahnya selalu tersenyum, kita pun bisa seperti itu. Rasulullah sangat lembut kepada ummatnya, dan juga sangat tegas kepada musuh2nya, kita pun bisa seperti itu. Rasul dan kita sama-sama manusia, sama-sama punya akal, nafsu dan hati. Yang membedakan adalah perlakuan istimewa dari Allah SWT kepada beliau. Allah menjadikan beliau sebagi utusan-Nya, tapi kita tidak. Allah menjadikan perbuatan dan perkataan Rasul sebagai contoh, tetapi kita tidak, makanya kita sebaiknya tidak mengidolakan siapa pun selain Rasulullah. Allah mengkaruniakan segala akhlak yang baik kepada Rasul untuk dijadikan tauladan, sedangkan kita tidak. Allah memberikan mukjizat kepada para Nabi dan Rasul, sedangkan kita tidak. Bersikap adilnya Rasulullah adalah manusiawi, bukan mukjizat dari Allah SWT. Jadi, kenapa ummatnya merasa pesimis untuk bisa bersikap adil? Allah Maha Tahu keadaan hamba-hamba-Nya, bahkan lebih tahu daripada hamba itu sendiri. Mohon maaf kalau ada kekurangan karena keterbatasan ilmu.

http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Islam thrives as Russia's population falls Russia is in the midst of startling transformation. Islamic faith is thriving across the country. If current trends continue, experts say, more than half of Russia's population will be Muslim by mid-century. Spurring on the mob was Alexander Belov, charismatic head of the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, an increasingly powerful lobby group that has staged dozens of rallies in recent months. In an interview at a Czech restaurant in central Moscow, Belov railed against what he called the growing Islamification of Russia. Russia is historically a Slavic, Orthodox Christian land and we need to make sure it stays that way, he said, adding that Orthodox Christianity should be enshrined as Russia's official religion and efforts made to convert Muslims. Islam is currently recognized as one of Russia's official religions, along with Orthodox Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism. Like many nationalists, Belov makes no distinction between Muslim immigrants and Russian citizens of Islamic faith. He says Muslims, no matter what their citizenship, should be restricted from living in traditional Russian lands. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1c=Articlecid=1165099811123call_page=TS_Worldcall_pageid=968332188854call_pagepath=News/Worldpubid=968163964505 === U.S. tracks Canadians for terror traits Monitoring system stores data on flights, licence plates, credit cards, addresses WASHINGTONThe U.S. government knows where you sat on your last cross-border flight, how you paid for your ticket, your email address, your phone number, even your special meal requests in the past.

[media-dakwah] U.S. funding Somali warlords - intelligence experts
http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === U.S. funding Somali warlords - intelligence experts By David Morgan A member of a Somali Islamic Court militia holds... A member of a Somali Islamic Court militia holds his weapon in the Bal'ad area after clashes with a self-styled anti-terrorism coalition of warlords, June 4, 2006. REUTERS/Shabelle Media WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has been funnelling more than $100,000 a month to warlords battling Islamist militia in Somalia, according to a Somalia expert who has conferred with the groups in the country. The U.S. operation, which former intelligence officials say is aimed at preventing emergence of rulers who could provide al Qaeda with a safe haven akin to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, appeared to be seriously set back on Monday when an Islamic coalition claimed control of Mogadishu. U.S. government officials refused to discuss any possible secret U.S. involvement in the strategically placed Horn of Africa state, which has been wrecked by years of fighting. But former U.S. intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, said an operation to support the warlords' alliance appeared to involve both the CIA and U.S. military. John Prendergast, who monitors Somalia for the think-tank International Crisis Group, said he learnt during meetings with alliance members in Somalia that the CIA was financing the warlords with cash payments. Prendergast estimated that CIA-operated flights into Somalia have been bringing in $100,000 to $150,000 per month for the warlords. The flights remain in Somalia for the day, he said, so that U.S. agents can confer with their allies. The Bush administration has maintained a silence over allegations in recent months of a U.S. proxy war against Islamist radicalism in the country. Pentagon spokesman Navy Lt. Commander Joe Carpenter reiterated the administration's position that the United States stands ready to disrupt the efforts of terrorists wherever they may be active. SECRET SUPPORT Claims of clandestine U.S. support for secular warlords who call themselves the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism have been aired by Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf and independent analysts. A United Nations team charged with monitoring a U.N. arms embargo against Somalia has also said it is investigating an unnamed country's clandestine support for the warlords alliance as a possible violation of the weapons ban. The former intelligence officials said the operation was controlled by the Pentagon through U.S. Central Command's Combined Joint Task Force for the Horn of Africa, a counterterrorism mission based in neighbouring Djibouti established after the September 11, 2001 attacks. On Monday, after months of fighting that has killed around 350 people, the Islamic militia claimed control of Mogadishu and a warlord militiaman said his coalition's leaders were fleeing the capital. U.S. intelligence has produced no conclusive evidence of an active al Qaeda presence in Somalia, experts said. But there have been reports of al Qaeda members in the country, including suspects in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa. The Pentagon, and now the U.S. government as a whole, is convinced these are elements for establishing a religious-based government like the Taliban, that could be exploited by al Qaeda, said a former intelligence official knowledgeable about U.S. courterterrorism activities. The CIA has given its warlord allies surveillance equipment for tracking al Qaeda suspects and appeared to view the warlords as a counter to the influence of Afghanistan-trained Islamist militia leader Aden Hashi Aryo, Prendergast said. By circumventing the new government and going straight to individual warlords, the U.S. is perpetuating and even deepening Somalia's fundamental problems, and compromising long-term efforts to combat extremism, Prendergast said. Somalia, a country of 10 million people, has had no effective central authority since 1991 when warlords overthrew military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. The central government is based temporarily in the town of Baidoa and has been unable to control events in Mogadishu. Americans have bad memories of U.S. involvement in Somalia in 1993, when 18 U.S. soldiers were killed and 79 injured in a battle with guerrillas loyal to warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid after entering the country to support a relief effort.

[media-dakwah] The U.S. Has a History of Using Torture
http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === The U.S. Has a History of Using Torture Alfred W. McCoy December 3, 2006 Mr. McCoy is J.R.W. Smail Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror (New York: Metropolitan Books, 2006). In April 2004, Americans were stunned when CBS broadcast those now-notorious photographs from Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, showing hooded Iraqis stripped naked while U.S. soldiers stood by smiling. As this scandal grabbed headlines around the globe, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld insisted that the abuses were perpetrated by a small number of U.S. military, whom New York Times columnist William Safire soon branded creeps--a line that few in the press had reason to challenge. When I looked at these photos, I did not see snapshots of simple brutality or a breakdown in military discipline. After more than a decade of studying the Philippine militarys torture techniques for a monograph published by Yale back 1999, I could see the tell-tale signs of the CIAs psychological methods. For example, that iconic photo of a hooded Iraqi with fake electrical wires hanging from his extended arms shows, not the sadism of a few creeps, but instead the two key trademarks of the CIAs psychological torture. The hood was for sensory disorientation. The arms were extended for self-inflicted pain. It was that simple; it was that obvious. After making that argument in an op-ed for the Boston Globe two weeks after CBS published the photos, I began exploring the historical continuity, the connections, between the CIA torture research back in the 1950s and Abu Ghraib in 2004. By using the past to interrogate the present, I published a book titled A Question of Torture last January that tracks the trail of an extraordinary historical and institutional continuity through countless pages of declassified documents. The findings are disturbing and bear directly upon the ongoing bitter debate over torture that culminated in the enactment of the Military Commissions law just last October. From 1950 to 1962, the CIA led a secret research effort to crack the code of human consciousness, a veritable Manhattan project of the mind with costs that reached a billion dollars a year. Many have heard about the most outlandish and least successful aspect of this research -- the testing of LSD on unsuspecting subjects and the tragic death of a CIA employee, Dr. Frank Olson, who jumped to his death from a New York hotel after a dose of this drug. This Agency drug testing, the focus of countless sensational press accounts and a half-dozen major books, led nowhere. But obscure CIA-funded behavioral experiments, outsourced to the countrys leading universities, produced two key findings, both duly and dully reported in scientific journals, that contributed to the discovery of a distinctly American form of torture, psychological torture. With funding from Canadas Defense Research Board, famed Canadian psychologist Dr. Donald O. Hebb found that he could induce a state akin to psychosis in just 48 hours. What had the doctor donedrugs, hypnosis, electroshock? No, none of the above. For two days, student volunteers at McGill University, where Dr. Hebb was chair of Psychology, simply sat in comfortable cubicles deprived of sensory stimulation by goggles, gloves, and ear muffs. One of Hebbs subjects, University of California-Berkeley English professor Peter Dale Scott, has described the impact of this experience in his 1992 epic poem, Listening to the Candle: nothing in those weeks added up yet the very aimlessness preconditioning my mind of sensory deprivation as a paid volunteer in the McGill experiment for the US Air Force (two CIA reps at the meeting) my ears sore from their earphones amniotic hum my eyes under two bulging halves of ping pong balls arms covered to the tips with cardboard tubes those familiar hallucination I was the first to report as for example the string of cut-out paper men emerging from a manhole in the side of a snow-white hill distinctly two-dimensional Dr. Hebb himself reported that after just two to three days of such isolation the subjects very identity had begun to disintegrate. If you compare a drawing of Dr. Hebbs student volunteers published in Scientific American with later photos of Guantanamo detainees, the similarity is, for good reason, striking. During the 1950s as well, two eminent neurologists at Cornell Medical Center working for the CIA found that the KGBs most devastating torture technique involved, not crude physical beatings, but simply forcing the victim to stand
[media-dakwah] Mister Death Squad Goes to Washington
http://musliminsuffer.wordpress.com/ bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Mister Death Squad Goes to Washington by Ahmed Amr Sunday December 3, 2006 http://www.uruknet.de/.?p=m28722hd=size=1l=e hakim-1.jpg Welcome to the final Byzantine round of the Machiavellian Iraqi war games in Washington. Making his triumphant appearance today is none other than Abdelaziz Al-Hakim the wise one. Hes a veteran player who survived four years of preliminary elimination rounds to qualify for the final phase of what is turning out to be a truly Olympian imperial project. Behold Hakims resplendent clerical robes. You can always spot the players whove spent a lifetime training for their roles on historys stage. No one doubts that this man of the cloth will pass the drug screening tests. This late in the game, we can only hope that our designated team captain resists the temptation to drown his Mesopotamian sorrows in a bottle of gin or indulge in a snow-snorting binge. As far back as the qualifying events when this quagmire was still a neo-con fantasy Al-Hakim and his team mates were recruited to shower rice and roses on coalition forces as they cake walked their way from Basra to Baghdad. Al Hakims resume is truly impressive. Hes an Ayatollah and a son of an Ayatollah. He speaks fluent Farsi having spent half his entire life living in exile as an honored guest of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. As a dedicated theocrat he allied his sectarian legions of Iraqi exiles with the Iranian army in the Iran-Iraq war. Its safe to assume that he puts his faith based political doctrines above his country a trait he shares with his host. To get a measure of the man, you need to see past Hakims wardrobe. This guy is more than a religious missionary. Hes certainly no ordinary politician. You cant even consider him a military man although he was the leader of the Badr Brigades the military wing of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq SCIRI. Still, hes so much more than that. The source of his political clout is his control over the Shiite death squads that have infiltrated the American-trained security forces. And theres more to recommend this man for the task of getting the job done. The death squads under Al Hakims command arent your run of the mill assassins. They usually leave their signature on their victims before grinding them up. Al Hakims dedicated cadres like to drill holes in other peoples skulls before dumping the mutilated cadavers on Baghdads streets as a warning to any real or potential adversaries. Its not yet clear why Bush invited Mister Death Squad to Washington. But lets not misunderestimate the President. This is the same POTUS who thundered from his bully pulpit that we cannot turn a blind eye to repression because that repression is not in our back yard. What he failed to mention was that as the need arises - we would continue to invite vicious torturers and assassins to our front yard for tea in the Rose Garden. Bushs media collaborators are already calling Hakim a moderate compared to the mercurial Moqtada Al Sadr. Some death squad leaders are apparently more reliable than others. What makes Hakim so special is that he seems such a mature thug the kind of SOB that can be our SOB. The Badr militias have a reputation of being disciplined and heavily indoctrinated foot soldiers who follow the party line. Once they get orders to close down their torture dungeons, Hakims loyalists will likely obey his command. Of course, that also means that the torture sessions could only have started with Hakims explicit orders. A few pundits are suggesting that the president is using Hakims visit as a way to build bridges to Tehran. Or maybe the administration is sending Al-Maliki a message that he should abandon his alliance with Al Sadr and stick with the scary guy from SCIRI. You never know what Bush has in mind for Plan Z. By the time he figures out a new course of action hell need another plan. No one in his right mind is suggesting that exiting Iraq was ever going to be a tidy business. But that doesnt mean we have to ignore that the man invited to sip tea with the president is holding a common household drill dripping with blood and brain tissue. Hakim keeps trying to wipe it off with his clerical robes to the amusement of our emperor who unfortunately has no clothes to help out his guest. Snickering in the corner, the assembled media dignitaries mind their manners and pretend not to notice. Now, drive your imagination to some dark stink hole in Baghdad owned and operated by Al-Hakims thugs in the interior ministry. A Baghdad University professor is tied down to a sturdy blood drenched workbench about to get his skull drilled by professionals assigned to SCIRIs torture squads. Two of his sons

BUKTINYA Berapa MILYAR Rupiah uang yg telah selalu di hambur-hamburkan oleh Para ULAMA Para KYAI hanya untuk ber-megah-megahan, hanya untuk mengadakan MUKTAMAR, ISTIGHOSAH, Temu Gus Dur di Hotel berbintang, Temu Kader, Ratiban yg TIDAK ada Contoh dari Rosululloh saw, biaya Pernikahan bahkan Biaya ULTAH secara mewah anak-anak para Kyai Ulama tersebut... yg mana semua kegiatan itu TIDAK memberikan SOLUSI apapun terhadap Semua permasalah yg sedang melanda sedang di hadapi oleh Umat, seperti Kemiskinan, kelaparan, bencana, dsb,dsb Malah Justru semua kegiatan yg sering di lakukan oleh Para Ulama Para Kyai tersebut hanya menyakitkan hati Umat menjadikan banyak Umat yg menjadi bingung, frustrasi putus asa... Padahal mereka, Para Ulama Para Kyai itu tahu sesungguhnya banyak sekali umat Islam non Islam di sekitarnya yg berangkat bangun tidur perutnya selalu dalam keadaan LAPAR, seperti para gelandangan , para pemulung seluruh umat yg masih miskin yg jumlahnya ratusan juta berada di sekitarnya.

Poligami bukan sunnah, tapi mubah. Artinya boleh dilakukan boleh tidak. Sebab tidak semua orang bisa bermonogami dan juga tidak semua orang bisa berpoligami. Dari 4 presiden RI, Sukarno, Soeharto, Habibie, Gus Dur, 3 terkait dgn lebih dari 1 wanita. Presiden AS sendiri banyak yang tidak sanggup bermonogami murni. Bill Clinton terlibat seks dgn wanita lain. Kennedy, Woodrow Wilson, Roosevelt, Jefferson, dsb juga begitu. Di Alkitab juga tertulis bahwa Abraham punya lebih dari 1 istri dan gundik, demikian pula Jakob, Daud, Solomon, dsb. Di Alkitab bahkan disebut Daud yang diurapi Tuhan punya 100 istri, sementara Solomon punya 700 istri dan 300 gundik. Di Tempo pernah diberitakan bahwa dari 3 pria pasti ada 1 pria yg punya wanita lain. Yahya Zain juga begitu, karena ngotot bermonogami akhirnya selingkuh/berzina. Ketika hamil, janin selingkuhannya digugurkan. Itulah akibat memaksakan monogami. Saat ini poligami yang dihalalkan oleh Allah dicerca sebagian orang yang tidak beriman. Tapi mereka justru mendukung keberadaan pelacuran. Tempat pelacuran dilarang diberantas oleh mereka...:) --- Rama B. Swandana [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Iman K.

Ketika mendengar rencana itu, Nabi pun langsung masuk ke masjid dan naik mimbar, lalu berseru: Beberapa keluarga Bani Hasyim bin al-Mughirah meminta izin kepadaku untuk mengawinkan putri mereka dengan Ali bin Abi Thalib. Ketahuilah, aku tidak akan mengizinkan, sekali lagi tidak akan mengizinkan. Sungguh tidak aku izinkan, kecuali Ali bin Abi Thalib menceraikan putriku, kupersilakan mengawini putri mereka. Ketahuilah, putriku itu bagian dariku; apa yang mengganggu perasaannya adalah menggangguku juga, apa yang menyakiti hatinya adalah menyakiti hatiku juga.

Bush meets today with Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, the turbaned leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), a Shiite fundamentalist party that is strongly tied to Iran. In so doing, the president is meeting with someone who, perhaps more than anyone else in Iraq, is responsible for trying to destroy Iraqi national unity, prevent national reconciliation among Iraqs ethnic and sectarian mix, and push Iraq into civil war. Al-Hakim, who was virtually Fed-Exd into Iraq by the Pentagon in March 2003, was a mainstay of the Iraqi National Congress, led by neoconservative darling Ahmed Chalabi throughout the 1990s. And today al-Hakim controls the SCIRI militia, the Badr Brigade, the Iraqi interior ministry and many of Iraqs feared death squads. Not to put too fine a point on it, Hakim is a mass murderer... http://www.uruknet.de/?p=m28746hd=size=1l=e === Iraq : Excuse me, Ms Becket? It was with complete arrogance that Britains Foreign Secretary Margaret Becket, was able to declare on the 1/12/2006, at the Forum for the Future conference in Jordan, that the education of young people in the Middle East was key to tackling global problems like chronic underdevelopment, climate change and terrorism. Joined by foreign ministers of the G8 countries, Ms. Becket made this announcement to the young people of the East, forgetting that it was her government and that of fellow conference delegate Ms. Condalezza Rice, who have helped to create the instability of the region. The Labour minister failed to mention in her statement, that over 655,000 Iraqis have died as result of her governments fight against terrorism inside of Iraq with the colonial venture clearly failing with over 71 per cent of Iraqi's wanting the illegally based troops to leave their country... http://www.uruknet.de/?p=m28729hd=size=1l=e === Green Zone Iraqis cheer as Abeer is raped O you Iraqis of the Green Zone.
