Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Karen Armstrong: The Pope's remarks were dangerous ....

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

Success in whatever we do depends on how clear we are 
on the objectives we want to achieve and how well we plan 
for it. Even a recreational activity such as going on a 
vacation takes much planning. It is not feasible for a 
person to simply just get up and depart to a vacation 
destination without planning, especially if one wants to 
have a good vacation or recreational activity. For example, if one 
is going to Disney World, usually planning is done months in 
advance of the trip. In addition to making traveling and 
accommodation arrangements, people consult friends, read 
literature and research on how to get the most benefit while 
there. Time and effort is spent deciding beforehand as to 
which rides should be given preference, which shows should 
be watched and which sites or theme parks should be visited, 
in what order and at what times of the day so that one can 
get the maximum benefit at minimum cost in reasonable time. 
People make significant efforts to plan the trip because it 
means so much to them to make such a 
trip.

What does Ramadhaan mean to you? Does it mean more to 
you than going for a vacation? Are you mentally and 
psychologically ready to attain all the goodness and 
blessings Ramadhaan has to offer? Are you then spending 
enough time and taking pains to plan how can you get the 
most benefit from the opportunity Ramadhaan affords you? 


Some people do plan for Ramadhaan, but that planning 
is only to the extent of who to invite for Iftaar, where to 
go for one, what special foods to prepare or how to get the 
best deal on dates and iftaar delicacies. But is this the 
type of outcome that is the objective of 
Ramadhaan?

The objectives of Ramadhaan are 
to: 

* 
Increase 
our Taqwa
* 
Make 
us more charitable  both financially and in our social 
dealings
* 
Develop 
patience and will power to resist temptations 

*Prepare 
us for our life-long Jihaad to remain steadfast on the path 
of Allaahs obedience 
*Strengthen 
our relationship with the Holy Qur-aan, celebrate its 
revelation; and 
*Thank 
Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta`aala for guiding us so kindly. 


So, 
what are the action plans you want to undertake during 
Ramadhaan so that when it departs, you have seen significant 
growth in your Taqwa, you are more giving, more patient, 
more able to resist personal desires and temptations, more 
involved in life-long Jihaad and more tuned to the Qur-aan?

Mahathir
Wants Nukes For Muslim Countries 






ISLAMABAD, Sept 15: Muslim countries should have
nuclear weapons to deter their enemies, Malaysias former prime
minister Mahathir Mohamad said here on Friday, but added that his ideal would
be global nuclear disarmament.

Addressing a seminar, Mr Mohamad condemned US
foreign policy and Israel,
and said Muslims were enjoined by their faith to defend themselves.

They need to have nuclear weapons too, because only (through) the
possession of such would their enemies be deterred from attacking them,
he said in a speech titled Clash of Civilisations or Clash of
Interests.

Sharing the platform with Pakistan
Tehrik-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan, the 81-year-old former premier received warm
applause from the audience.

Answering questions later, Mr Mohamad said: If you allow Israel
to have nuclear weapons why shouldnt others?

While I think we should not be selective in determining which nations
should have, and should not have, I think the best thing we could do is to say
is that all nations should not have nuclear weapons and in particular this
very, very, very belligerent United States.

He was criticising the US
over the Iraq
war, saying far fewer Iraqis would have been killed under Saddam
Husseins dictatorship.

Is there a difference between being killed by democrats and being killed
by dictators? If only we could ask those who died.

Mr Mohamad also spoke of a Jewish conspiracy in the United
States, revisiting the subject of a speech he made in 2003 in which he
said Jews ruled the world by proxy.Reuters

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Sign the Petition to Stop the Labeling of Islam Muslims as the War on Terrorism and Islamic Fascism

2006-09-19 Thread IPPA



Stop Governmental and Institutional labeling of Islam, Muslims, and Islamic culture as the War on Terrorism and Islamic Fascism Go to the following link to sign the petition to stop the institutionalized hate campaign against Islamhttp://www.ipetitio ns.com/petition/ StopIslamicHate Islam, Muslims and Islamic cultureare being labeled as terrorist, Islamic Fascist, extremist, and other degrading names to bring a negative association to Islam that will justify Western aggression. Pressured to define the "War on Terrorism" the West had to come up with a negative connotation
 that would expand the meaning of and give a face to the war on terrorism. This petition is just the start of approaching Western governmental and institutional concerns to change their definition of their war on terrorism from that of an Islamic nature to what the war really is, a war of Western aggression. Islam does not condone the killing of innocent civilians. It does not condone the suicide of young children as a means of military combat. It does not condone the killing, rape, and torture of women, children, elderly and non-combatants. Muslims in the West have to take a stand to reclaim the honor of Islam. We can not let any concerns outside of Islam redefine Islam for us. Whether it be governmental, institutional or criminal. Please sign and circulate this petition for Allah's sake. We plan to present it to the U.N., U.S. Government and all concerns that have an interest in mislabeling Islam.

Re: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Axis of Good: Muslims Building Alliances with Other Communities of Faith

2006-09-19 Thread Ibrahim Hayani






[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

  The St. Lawrence River is 1,900 miles long.
Its wide mouth empties its flow into the Atlantic Ocean where buoyant
whales and majestic icebergs drift throughout the summer months. The
river begins more modestly where the northern and southern shores of
Lake Ontario curve in towards each other, channeling the cold waters of
the Great Lakes into the riverbed. We were born on the Canadian side of
the river, but the island on which we lived was closer to New York
State. This area is now called the Thousand
Islands, but before there was a Canada, and before there was an
America, the indigenous people called it The Garden of the Great
Spirit. My brothers and sisters and I grew up
in jannah. 
  Well, it really was beautiful. But we were,
after all, children of Adam. And as the angels
feared, we would make a mess of many things. To
begin with, there was the question of those indigenous people. As children, we spent long July afternoons on the
edge of the forest digging for their arrowheads, flints and pottery
shards. But where had the people gone? No one thought much to talk about our own Cain and
Abel story. 
  Then there was the question of what we did to
the river itself. Flowing over deep layers of
limestone, refreshed with generous rain and snow every year, the river
seemed impervious to anything we might throw its way. And
we did throw many things its way. In fact,
lacking refuse collection services on the island, it seemed easiest to
let the current take it away. I dont know
where all our tin cans and plastic wrappers ended up, but we
deliberately sunk the old car nearby in the bay to create a good
fishing hole. Little wonder that our children now catch only a few
small perch and a rare undersized bass in a day. 
  As hard as it is to believe, the truth is that
we did not realize that we were damaging the river, killing plant and
animal life, and poisoning others and ourselves. But as years passed,
and our exposure to information about the environment increased, we
became appalled at our previous behavior. We
had, after all, been taught that it is wrong to damage property and
harm others. We had internalized the
principles, we simply were not aware of the negative consequences of
our actions. 
  And so, as opportunities arose, some of us
planted trees, others cleaned up polluted sites, gave money to save the
rain forest and took up organic gardening. By this time, we had
scattered across the country, and even the world, and we took these
actions in the midst of our new communities. But the riverour
riveralways called us back. We wanted to be
there and make it better, but that would mean living and working
together for at least part of the year. This would not be easy. 
  After all, the years had witnessed other
changes in us. By the time we had become aware of our need to relate to
the river in a new way, we had taken different spiritual paths. Certainly the Muslim in the family found ample
proof in Islam that she had an obligation to conserve and respect the
environment. The Christians, Jews and secular
humanists found their own proofs for similar, if not identical
obligations. But there were many other things
we did not agree about. In fact, at times there were some serious
disagreements and tension. 
  This is my story. It
is also the human story. Muslims believe that
the children of Adam do not inherit sin from their ancestors. But we do inherit the good that our ancestors have
bequeathed to us, and we are burdened with repairing what they have
damaged. In our time, in every place that
Muslims live, whether the Muslims are the majority or the minority,
there are serious societal problems that need to be addressed. The environment needs to be restored, indigenous
and other minority groups need to be relieved of the burden of years of
systematic injustice, children and the poor need daily support and
meaningful opportunities for advancement. 
  The Prophet Muhammad, may Gods peace and
blessings be upon him, told his Companions that There will come a time
when the best property of a Muslim will be the sheep he takes to the
mountain peaks and watered lands, fleeing with his religion from
tribulation. But such a flight is a last
resort, to be taken only when it is impossible to hold onto ones faith
while remaining in society. Over the centuries, Muslims have lived
through times when this was the only option. But
sooner or later, they came back down the mountains and started the hard
work of living and rebuilding together. The
question now for our community is, when are we obliged to worked with
non-Muslims to build a better society, and when are we obliged to limit
our work to whatever we can accomplish on our own? 
  Clearly, there is no simple answer to these
questionsdespite the claims of those who confuse isolation with piety
or those who confuse every ease with goodness. Not
every alliance between Muslims and non-Muslims is bad, nor is every
alliance good. In trying to

BEWARE of Christian Missionaries "When the Missionaries Came to Africa They Had the Bible  We Had the Land. They Said "Let Us Pray."
 We Closed Our Eyes. When We Opened Them We Had the Bible  They Had the Land." - Bishop Desmond Tutu  September 16, 2006  Benedict XVI Insults Islam (But Not His Kosher Bosses)  http://joannafrancis.wordpress.com/2006/09/16/benedict-xvi-insults-islam-but-dares-not-insult-his-bosses/  Fr. Joseph Ratzinger (acting as Pope Benedict XVI) enteredthe Synagogue of Satan at 12:00 noon on a Friday, the exact hour and
 day that Christ was crucified. This public act of apostasy confirms that Ratzinger cannot be the legitimate successor of Peter. He essentially handedJesus over to the Pharisees to be re-crucified,in imitation of his role model, Judas Iscariot.Since the death of the last real pope, Pius XII, in 1958, the Church has been under Jewish management. So it should come as no surprise that those acting as popes today would insult their rival, Islam, and defend the indefensible Talmudists.It is Talmudic Jewswho actually pose a greater threat to Christianity than Muslims do. The only threat that Islam poses to
 the Church todayis the ciphoning off of Catholics through conversionsto Islam. Now why would Christians be converting to Islam? I reallybelieve it hasless to do with these Christians’loss of faith,than it has to do with their disgust at the debauchery, Judaizing, liberalism, and gutlessness of Catholicism since 1958. The Church has stepped aside and let the Jews corrupt all Western societies while only paying lip service to the perennial teachings of the Church; as they continue to tear down the citadel and weaken the last vestiges of tradition left upright after Vatican II.People like myself, who were born and raised in the cesspool createdafter Vatican II, are sick to death of immorality. They are looking for something solid, something innocent, something that demands a very high moral standard. Many people are finding that in Islam. It used to be that Christians needed tolook no further than their own Catholic Church for moral absolutes. But now that the Church is in the service of world Jewry, people are lost, disgusted,floating along aimlessly, while Church officials visit synagogues and schmooze with the Pharisees.Since the Church is now under the control
 ofHerancient enemies, they cannot criticize those who are actually the greatest threat to Christianity, so they pick on the Muslims. They should thank the Muslims for holding onto their morality and keeping the Jew World Order in check. That used to be the job of the Churchbefore it was usurpedin 1958.But instead, the cowardly hierarchs of todayshow their fidelity to the Christ-killers, like true Judases.Even though I am a Catholic,it must be admitted that it is not we who are impeding the Jewish onslaught.In the past we did so, but no longer. It is the Muslims who just defeated the Israeli Army in Lebanon,putting a temporary halt to the Zionists’march for total world conquest.It is the Muslims who still have large families, do not have abortions,dress modestly, respect their complementary feminine and masculine roles, anddefend their faith. It is the Muslims who live more “Catholic” lives than Catholics do these days. Muslims should be held up as an example of how Catholicsshould be.Ratzinger is insulting Islam for not having contributed anything to the world? The Muslims’ contribution to the world is in being the last holdouts againstZionist
 hegemony! That’s no small contribution! IfRatzinger wants to see someone who has not contributed anything positive, all he has to do is look in the mirror. His job is to protect the Catholic faithful, guard his sheep, so to speak; and yet, he has handedus over to the wolves. The Muslims are the onesfighting the wolves. It is they who are the world’s only hope of keeping theZionist juggernaut from consuming the entire planet - and exterminating all of us in the process.Instead of insulting Islam,Fr. Ratzinger should get his own house in order!AB  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  "For to us will be their return; then it will be for us to call them to account." (Holy Quran 88:25-26)

I. 
Just in Time_ Editorial: 
Dr. Tayza
 _ As if the UN Security Council has suddenly come to realization that 18 years of sufferings under a brutal military regime is already too much to bear for poor Burmese people. In fact, it happens just in time as a dark age is looming ahead in the near future for Burmese people..

II. 
Burmese Generals Mindset Vs. International Response_ Feature Article: Prof. Kanbawza Win
 _ Lying the very concept of Truth seems to be the mindset of the current Burmese generals ruling the country with an iron hand. The Burmese Junta in their lust for power never seems to give up. Having defied the international community all these years and abducted an entire country, the Generals have come up with a new excuse to perpetuate the 
status quo.

Chronic Emergency: Speaking with Backpack Health-workers_ Interview by Raluca Enescu

 _ 
Travelling in almost non-accessible areas, in small villages and in conflict areas. Educating people about health issues in places where, otherwise, education and health care would not be accessible. For Mahn Mahn and his colleagues at the Back Pack Health Worker Team, this is part of everyday life...

IV. 
Throwing Light on the Conspiracy Theory_ 
Critique: Tai Samyone
 _ The US raised the issue of bringing Burma onto the UN Security Council agenda for September. As we might expect, the New Light of Myanmar countered with a long diatribe describing the news as evidence of an attempted conspiracy by the US to impose a 'puppet government' on Burma.

V. 
Enough is Enough_ Opinion: 
Terry Evans
  _ Over the last 18 years, a lot of energy has gone into a thousand explanations of why the junta is so aggressive, brutal and insensitive. The fact remains that the generals have engaged in the insane destruction of Burma. 
..
.
VI.
Some Attributes of the Military Rule in Burma
_ Opinion: Ko Sala
 _ Today, military junta can celebrate their sterling performance with the Nation League for Democracy much weaker and can barely operate, the exile folks living like celebrity with their own personal history of imprisonment and so forth, the movement is split with a polarised debate on sanction Vs anti-sanction, some Western academics with access to enter the country uphold the military junta with various arguments and the rubber stamp National Convention is heading with success
...
VII. 
Bloodless Revolution_ Opinion: Myint Zaw

 _ Pro-democracy groups should urge people to actively vote in constitution referendum and record a 
'NO' vote, forcing to rewrite the SPDC
's draft constitution.

the SPDC generals are likely to deny the result. In this case, people with awareness, should not hesitate to step onto the street... 

VIII. 
Cultural Politics, Asian Values  Burma (3)
_Feature Article: Min Khin Kyaw
 _ As ASEAN always lays itself like a bridge across a dirty canal of the SPDC military regime to let it cross in order to reach the EU and the 
US, ASEAN has taken its own voluntary position standardized by its own actions and integrity..
.
IX. 
To ASEM_ Letter: Bo Aung Din

 _ We are worried because of your change of heart and softened approach on Myanmar by allowing them to attend ASEM in Europe. Our heart sank after reading Myanmar leaders were given the chance to explain their situation (on human rights issues) and defend themselves...

X. 
A REMINDER_ 
Poem: Feraya Nangmone

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] MB Expresses Deep Concern Over Assaults On WB Churches

2006-09-19 Thread S A Hannan





Dear members,
Assalamu Alaikum.Please read the statement of Muslim 
Brotherhood on the recent events following Pope's statement.We should maintain 
highet patience and wisdom.We should not allow matters to escalate.

MB 
  Expresses Deep Concern Over Assaults On WB Churches
  
Ikhwanweb - Cairo, Egypt
  

  

  
Sunday, September 17, 
2006
  

  The Muslim Brotherhood on Sunday September 17, 2006, released a 
  statement expressing its deep concern over reports of criminal assaults on 
  several churches in the West Bank, as well as reports imputed to an 
  unknown Iraqi organization threatening to target Rome and the Vatican in 
  retaliation to the Pope’s recent derogatory remarks against Islam and its 
  prophet (PBUH). 
  The statement, undersigned by MB Executive Member Eng. 
  Khairat el Shater, read as follows in part“We, 
  Muslim Brotherhood, would like to point out our very position as 
  follows:1-We expressly oppose the Pope’s offending 
  statements, which shocked Muslims everywhere, and call on him to renounce 
  them. 2-While the Muslim Brotherhood is aware of the 
  pope’s gross mistake, it, however, calls on Muslims everywhere to 
  observe civilized, peaceful means in their protests against these 
  statements, without attacking or threatening individuals or churches or 
  religious icons anywhere in the world. We see such attacks as taboo in the 
  sight of all Heavenly religions.3-The 
  Muslim Brotherhood strongly condemns the incidents of assaults on churches 
  in the Western Bank,and consider these attacks criminal 
  actionswhichundermine the Palestinian cause. 
  Therefore,we call on the Palestinian government tobring 
  to justice those responsible for these 
  attacks. 
  4-The group highlights that the statements made by the Pope 
  are aimed to mar the image of Islam which enjoins dialogue and peaceful 
  coexistence with 
  others. 
  5-The Muslim Brotherhood sees dialogue as the best means to 
  refute the Pope’s claims, inaccordance with the teachings of the 
  Qura'n which enjoins Muslims to observe the ethics of dialogue with the 
  other.

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

2006-09-19 Thread Labbayk YaMahdi



Assalamo alaykumSisters and Brothers in Islam,  Muslim Ummah all over the world are hurted by false accusation of the  Roman Christians Pope Benedict of Vatican. Pope already carved his evil  deeds towards Islam in the book of history against Prophet Muhammed  s.a.w. This is not the first time the Roman Pope accuses Prophet  Muhammed s.a.w.. What is the duty of Muslim Ummah. Our emotioal fight is not end of the story.Let us defend Islam and Prophet Muhammed s.a.w. with Pen and Paper through History of mankind and civilization.  Let us find that the religion that Prophet Issa a.s. conveyed to the  Israelis and Romans was not Christianity it was Islam. The religion  Christian came from some opportunist who forged the Book of Allah Injil  and corrupted the way it was fit to them. The so called religion  Christianity is not mentioned in any book of Allah the Injil or the so  called Bible (means:
 collection of books). Let us start how  Christianity was spread in Europe, bloodshed, barbaric killings and  dictatorships and fascism. The poor and sick christians were not  allowed in the church the poor and sick people were labelled as the  cursed community. Let us find out what is happening in 20th  centuary. How Christianity is involved in slavery, civil wars, forcing  the hungry people of Africa, Yemen, Pakistan, India, Ethiopia, Somalia  you name it were ever there is disaster, the Christian Missioneries  from Evangelist, Catholic, Protestants, Juhava witness, and hundred of  Christians sects through out the world get chance to force needy poeple  of the world and hungry people in to christianity.  There  are hundreds of books in the liberaries, were people can find the  writtend evidence about how christianity is forced in Africa, Asia,  Europe, America and Australia.  So our request to the  Muslim Ummah is that
 during this Holy Month of Ramadhan we request all  Muslim Ummah - Sisters and Brothers, to do research and write in your  group with evidence of the book and reference about this false religion  Christianity.  Thanks to the era of Technology let us  utilize the technology to defend our Islam and defend the dignity of  our Prophet Muhammed s.a.w.Fi Amaanillah, Labbayk Ya Mahdi "Pope’s attack no casual slip" writes American Muslim  Posted by:  "Bashir Chandio"  real_sindhi@ yahoo.comreal_sindhi Sat Sep16,2006 1:54pm(PST)   September 16, 2006  
   Pope’s attack on Islam was no casual slip By Abdus Sattar   Ghazali   Pope Benedict has hit out at Islam and its concept of holy war. The  thinly veiled attack on Islam came during a theological lecture on  Sept. 12, 2006 to the staff and students at the University of  Regensburg, where he taught theology in the 1970s.Just like a cheap shot against Islam - packaged in western free speech  clichés and marketed as innocent satire – launched in the form of  cartoons of Prophet Muhammad printed by a Danish daily and republished  by European newspapers, Pope’s anti-Islam remarks are touted as an  invitation to open dialogue with Muslims. Lord Carey, the former  Archbishop of Canterbury, insists Muslims must learn to enter into  dialogue without "crying 'foul"'. The Guardian says: “There cannot be  dialogue without rigor and openness. The Muslim world should also take  pains to be thoughtful in its response, and
 perhaps less quick to take  offence.”   However, this was no casual slip. Beneath  his scholarly rhetoric, the Pope's logic seemed to be that Islam is  dangerous and godless. Though many are inclined to see this debate as a  fresh maneuver to keep the Muslims engaged in controversies.Using the words, "jihad" and "holy war", the Pope quoted criticisms of  the prophet Mohammed by a 14th century Byzantine Christian emperor,  Manuel II, during a debate with a learned Persian. "Show me just what  Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil  and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he  preached," Benedict quoted the emperor as saying. "The emperor goes on  to explain in detail the reasons why spreading the faith through  violence is something unreasonable, " the Pope said and added:  "Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the  soul.”   Manuel II
 (1350-1425) was the second-to-last  emperor of the East-Roman (Byzantine) Empire. As a boy, he had been  held prisoner by the Turks, and his dialogues took place as his  inheritance lay in jeopardy to the Ottoman empire, and his capital  under siege. Only 28 years after his death, Constantinople, the capital  of Byzantine empire fell to the Ottomans under Sultan Mehmed II.   Giles Fraser, a lecturer in

Your Pope chose to quote a racist Crusader Emperor which embodied his own personal beliefs and biases against the religion of Islam. He specifically echoed the words of that Crusader to convey the message that was in his heart. The quote he used was:   "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find
 things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."   The Emperor in question used those very words to incite the Crusaders against the Muslims. He was trying to sell the idea that "God," he said, "is not pleased by blood - and not acting reasonably is contrary to God's nature. Faith is born of the soul, not the body. Whoever would lead someone to faith needs the ability to speak well and to reason properly without violence and threats."  The Holy Prophet Muhammad(as) and the Holy Quran teach us that the value of life is sacred but it also instructs Muslims not to allow themselves to be aggressed and attacked. It calls to the obligation of engaging in Jihad in order to defend their religion and way of
 life. Islam is a balanced religion. You would not find Muslims engaging in Jihad if they weren't being attacked from all sides. That is the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad(as) so who is Pope Benedict to determine what is correct for Muslims to do or not? Who gave him the authority to dictate over Muslims?  There is NO question in my mind that Pope Benedict is again repeating the mistake that many Popes in the past have made by using their position to wage war on the Arab and Muslim Peoples. He is obviously an AGENT PROVOCATEUR of the New World Order which he serves. He is deliberately attempting to advance the satanic agenda of the New World order by insulting the Prophet Muhammad(as) in the hope that the much desired 'clash of civilizations' of the satanic New World Order Zionist Nazis can come to pass.  The insult that he has uttered against the Prophet of Islam cannot be spun as unintentional. He is NOT a stupid man. He knew that such a comment would lead to chaos between the Christian and Muslim Peoples and he did not refrain himself. His use of that quote fits perfectly with the strategy and

Dear Brothers  Sisters:

Thank you for sharing this highly informative piece of information. In
this regard, I strongly recommend the just released book BEING
MUSLIM, by the renowned Canadian Muslim journalist Haroon Siddiqui.
(Groundwood Books, Toronto, 2006). This book should be a MUST reading
for non-Muslims and Muslims alike. It deals with most, if not all, the
questions asked by non-Muslims in a most intelligent, rational, and
enlightened manner possible.

Regards,

Ibrahim Hayani

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] Hijab Ban Sharpens Muslim Isolation

2006-09-19 Thread S A Hannan





Dear members,

Assalamu Alaikum. Please read this news. France is continuing 
its anti-religious and human right law . It will only increase hatred and France 
will have to face the effect.

Shah Abdul Hannan



  
  

  Hijab Ban Sharpens Muslim Isolation 
  

  IslamOnline.net  News Agencies 
  

  


   

  
The French hijab ban has deepened the 
isolation of the French Muslims. 
  PARIS — A French law banning hijab in state schools has 
  deepened the Muslim isolation from the broader community, experts said 
  Saturday, September 16.
  "Some (Muslims) are enrolled in informal parallel 
  structures. That makes them even more isolated from the broader 
  community," said Samy Debah, spokesman for the anti-Islamophobia group 
  CCIF, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).
  France has triggered a controversy in 2004 by adopting a 
  bill banning hijab and religious insignia in state schools.
  French Muslims — a sizeable six-million minority — along 
  with practicing Jews, Sikhs and international human rights groups strongly 
  condemned the law, saying it violated the freedom of religion right in 
  secular France.
  In the same year, some 30 girls under the age of 16 
  dropped out of the French school system altogether, said Nora Rami 
  spokeswoman for a committee opposing the law.
  She said the number, though is tiny compared to the 
  hundreds o thousands of Muslims in French schools, has a major 
  significance.
  It illustrates a "break between some young Muslim women 
  and a country where "they no longer feel at home," she said.
  Other young Muslim women have also either left to study 
  abroad, including in Belgium, or have signed up for distance learning 
  courses, Rami added.
  Islam sees hijab as an obligatory code of dress, not a 
  religious symbol displaying one’s affiliations.
  Problems Deepened
  Many French Muslims believe the French law would lead to 
  a boom in private Muslim education in the coming decade.
  "This hasn't solved the problem, it has just moved it 
  elsewhere," said Makhlouf Mameche, deputy head of the private Lycee 
  Averroes in the northern city of Lille, one of France's two sole Muslim 
  high schools.
  The French education ministry says the law has been 
  largely accepted in the country, citing only four cases since the start of 
  the school year this month, involving Sikh pupils who refused to remove 
  their turbans.
  The government says the figure -- a far cry from the 639 
  recorded in 2004, when 47 youths were expelled for refusing to comply with 
  the ban -- is proof the measure is working.
  But Hubert Tison, a teachers' representative, 
  disagrees.
  "It's true the law reduced tensions, but it has not 
  solved the deeper problems" he told L'Express magazine recently.
  Over the past decade, more and more French Muslims have 
  increasingly adopted hijab, especially in run-down suburbs with large Arab 
  and black populations.
  Many, however, complain that they face hostile looks from 
  strangers who associate their hijab with terrorism and extremism.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The beautiful of the greetings

2006-09-19 Thread LEO



  TO BE READ PRACTICED AND SPREAD  The best Greeting there could ever beBy Asma bint Shameem  Did you wake up this morning and say “As-Salaamu Alaikum” to your spouse or your child? Or did you greet them with a “Good Morning” or even a casual “hi”?Have we been teaching our children the importance of greeting each other with salaam? Or when we see them
 off to school, do we send them off with a ‘bye’, instead of “As-Salaamu Alaikum”, the dua for peace and blessings?For some of us, this may seem a minor issue. Or it may even be a ‘progressive’ issue. But, in our haste to ‘adapt’, we forget that saying “As-Salaamu Alaikum” is the best greeting there could ever be.  This was the practice and teaching of Prophet Muhammad (Sal
 Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam), the best example for mankind. And it was Allaah Himself that prescribed the manner of greeting among Muslims as “As-Salaamu Alaikum” [not ‘salaams’ or ‘good morning’ or ‘hey’ or ‘hi’ or whatever] “When those who believe in Our Ayaat (proofs, verses, signs, etc.) come to you, say: "Salaamun Alaikum" (peace be on you)..…” (Surah al-An‘aam:54)Ibn al-Qayyim says:“Allaah, the Sovereign, the Most Holy, the Peace, prescribed that the greeting among the people of Islam should be ‘As-Salaamu Alaikum’, which is better than all the greetings of other nations which include impossible ideas or lies, such as saying, ‘May you live for a thousand years,’ or things that are not accurate, such as ‘An’im sabaahan (Good morning),’ or actions that are not right, such as bowing in greeting. Thus the greeting of salaam is better than all of these, because it has the meaning of safety which is life, without which nothing else can be achieved….” (Badaa’i'
 al-Fawaa’id)  “As-Salaamu Alaikum” is the best DuaThe word ‘salaam’ comes from the root ‘salema‘, which implies to disassociate oneself from evil and harm. Thus, when we greet other Muslims, the greeting means: “No harm shall come to you from me (may no evil come to you, may no harm come to you)And since As-Salaam is also one of the Beautiful Names of Allaah, the greeting of salaam also means, “May the blessing of His Name descend upon you, may Allah be with you, may Allah guide and protect you.”Subhaan Allaah! What a beautiful
 greeting!Yet, it is utterly tragic to see that some of us have exchanged something so beautiful for something ugly, when we stopped saying Assalaamu Alaikum and started with ’Good Morning’ or ‘Hi’. It is especially sad to see some of our youth, who don’t even know how to say the words clearly and properly. Some say ‘Saakum”, some just mumble something incomprehensible under their breath and some don’t even bother to say anything at all! And if they are being really nice to you, they just might throw you a ‘hey’ from afar.And even those of us who do say salaam, some of us are so stingy or hesitant in doing so. Although, at the time of the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) the Sahaabah would compete with each other to see who could give salaams first. They would go to the market just to say salaam to people they knew and to the people they did not know.The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "The best of the two persons is the one who begins
 with salaam." (Related by an-Nawawi)BENEFITS OF “AS-SALAAMU ALAIKUM”  1.“As-Salaamu Alaikum” is a means of immense rewardA man passed by the Messenger of Allaah (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) while he was sitting with others, and said “As-salaamu ‘alaykum.” The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said, “[He will have] ten hasanaat.” Another man passed by and said “As-Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullaah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allaah).” The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said, “[He will have] twenty hasanaat.” Another man passed by and said “As-Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allaah and His blessings).” The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said,
 “[He will have] thirty hasanaat.”  2.“As-Salaamu Alaikum” is an aspect of ImaanOnce a man asked the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) about which aspect of Islam was best. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) replied: "Feeding the hungry, and saying salaam to those you know and those you don't know." (Bukhaari and Muslim)  3. “As-Salaamu Alaikum” is a means of entering JannahThe Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: “You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you about something which, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread salaam (the greeting of peace) among you." (Muslim)  4. “As-Salaamu Alaikum” gets rid of sinsThe Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) also said, “When two Muslims meet (give salaam), and shake hands, they are forgiven their sins before they part (with each other).” (Abu Dawud)  5. “As-Salaamu Alaikum” is the greeting of the people of Jannah“Then, those that feared their Lord shall be driven in
