Assallamu Allaikum, This brother has raised a very good point and challange to every muslim. We are muslims and we all believe in Laillaha illalah, so why do we sit back while our brothers are tourtured in Guantanamo Bay becuase of thier belive? If America has a case against them, let her try them. Why are muslim leaders not speaking against this injustice? Can anyother country do this to an American? The so called leaders of Iraq are enjoying the leadership given to them by America but they should be on the look out cause the faith the befell Sadam Hussain can ONLY befall people like them NOT, repaet NOT a Bush, a Cliton, a Sharon, a Bliar or a Carter. America will use them and dump them. It will happen in-sha-Allah. So long has our leaders do not help Islam, they shall test the other side of the USA and her allied forces. I urge muslim brothers to remember the brother in Guntanamo Bay in prayers. Plaese also remember the munafikun leaders in prayer too so that Allahy will show us their end. Massallam.
