Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Demonization of Taliban...and it still continues....
The Demonization of Taliban:Letter to the Wall Street Journal We are living in a worldthat chooses to show its civility by condemning imaginary crimesby Muslims rather than the real crimes against them. By Khalid Baig Posted: 4 Rabi-ul-Awwal 1422, 27 May 2001 Letter to Wall Street Journal in response to the articleby its feature editor, Tunku Varadarajan. A man by the name of Tunku Varadarajan has tried, convicted,and lambasted the Taliban for words they did not utter and acts they did not perform. Taliban's Roving Ambassador Syed Rahmatullah Hashmi spoke atmany forums during his recent visit. I was there when he spoke at theUniversity of Southern California. In fact the transcript of his talk isavailable for all to read at our web site. (The Invisible Afghanistan: http://www.albalagh.net/current_affairs/syed_hashmi.shtml) The identification is only for the purpose of granting exemption where it is due. Is that bad? Ask the Hindu and Sikh community leader, Inder Singh Majboor, who said they are happy with the ruling. [BBC] When the world is destroying our future with economicsanctions, then they have no right to worry about our past. I called myheadquarters, I asked them, why are they going to blow the statues, and Italked to the head of the council of scholars of people, who had actuallydecided this. He told me that UNESCO and an NGO from Sweden, or from one ofthese Scandinavian countries Norway, Sweden, one of these they had actuallycome with a project of rebuilding the face of these statues, which have wornby rain. The council of people told them to spend that money in saving thelives of these children, instead of spending it to restore these statues. Andthese guys said, 'No, this money is only for the statues.' And the people werereally pissed off. They said that, if you don't care about our children, weare going to blow those statues. If you were in such a situation what wouldyou do? If your children are dying in front of your eyes, and you are undersanctions, and then the same people who have imposed sanctions are coming andbuilding statues here? What would you do? This account was in fact confirmed by the carefulrebuttal from State Department spokesman Richard Boucher on March 20,2001, who called the allegations inaccurate and self-serving. He couldnot say that Hashmi was lying and no such incident had taken place before thedecision to destroy the statues. Rather his defense was that although theNGO's had gone there with the obscene idea of renovating statues in the midstof death, as Hashmi said, but some other NGOs were also providing some moneyto the people! Now Mr. Varadarajan is informing us that the offers of moneyfor the protection of the statues were made after the Taliban announced theywould destroy the un-Islamic idols. I would like to think that he is merely confused about the later offers of money and ignorant of the original NGO project. But his solemn assertions and air of certainty make one wonder whether his confusion was elsewhere; that while his parents sent him to school to become a lawyer, he got confused and instead became a liar. The identification badges have been compared with the Nazi tagging of Jews by a fierce propaganda machine. It is a minor detail that the Hindus who had left Afghanistan during the civil war came back after the Taliban take over, precisely because of the peace and protection they provided. After having destroyed the character and credibilityof the accused, Mr. Varadarajan then proceeds to convict him for a conspiracyto commit genocide. Here again the truth is stranger than fiction. Here is thereal
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Condition of the Dollar :: Make Deceision Now
to view this email online click here LINDSEY WILLIAMS NEWSLETTER MARCH 2007 The Condition of the Dollar By Lindsey Williams There is so much to touch on regarding the dollar this month, I hardly know where to start. Regardless of where I begin, the news is not good and affects all of us. First on our list is China. They have now announced that they are refusing to accept American Corporations purchasing into their stock market any longer as they did in the past. China also said that they are no longer going to be purchasing our securities as they have in the past, including bonds and T-bills. China's decisions and subsequent announcements at the beginning of the week has sent a panic across the World's markets. Additionally, OPEC met recently and they have also stated they will be diversifying into other currencies instead of just the American dollar. They will now begin accepting other currencies and limit the trade of oil via the American dollar. March 21st 2007 will be one of the most significant dates this month. Iran has outlawed the American dollar and will put anyone in jail that uses it in their country after that date. They have the ominous notoriety of being the first nation in the world to do such a thing. The real issue in Iran is NOT nuclear, but rather the decision to not use the American dollar for trade and the sale of oil. On the heels of Iran's decision, North Korea has followed suit and also outlawed the use of the American dollar in their country. Finally, Malaysia the next day did the same thing. Central banks around the world are increasingly diversifying their reserves, including cutting holdings of American dollars, according to a survey sponsored by Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC, the U.K.'s second-largest bank. Italy, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland have made major adjustments in foreign-exchange holdings favoring the Euro and the British pound, according to the poll conducted by Central Banking Publications Ltd. between September and December. Central banks are open to saying they've been diversifying to improve returns and reduce exposure to any single currency, said Sean Callow, senior currency strategist at Westpac Banking Corp. in Singapore. There's no doubt that when they say 'diversification' they mean selling dollars. Last week a friend of mine told me they called their bank president in Vancouver, BC and he agreed with everything I have been saying about the dollar. What amazed me the most was her comment that he told her his bank is currently making preparations for the crash of the American dollar! My dear friends, I urge you to structure yourself and get out of the liquid dollar immediately. I suggest that you get out of stock markets and into international hard assets such as real estate, gold and other assets. Structure your family by setting up proper International Business Corporations and Foundations that will preserve your finances. - For more information on doing exactly this, visit www.TheWealthKeys.com Next Events Join a free Wealth Creation Seminar and get information on structuring, International Business Corporations and Foundations.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] NAZIsrael Manipulates The Media - While Muslims PRETEND To Be Holy
We Muslims Need to Understand That Israel is ABOVE ALL INTERNATIONAL LAW Thanks to the US. It Makes Its Own Rules Can Operate With IMPUNITY Has ZERO Accountability. The UN (Usual Noise) Cannot Rein It In. Therefore We Need to Follow a SEPARATE Set of Robust RULES OF ENGAGEMENT In All Areas When DEALING With It. AB Israel Manipulates The Media - While Muslims Pretend To Be Holy http://www.mpacuk.org/content/view/6/1474/105/ MPACUK Comment: Recently, an AP Cameraman filmed footage of a War Crime - the shooting of a Palestinian boy by an Israeli soldier. The footage was submitted to the Israel Bureau of the AP but was erased before broadcast. A clear example of Israeli influence, competence one might say, over a global news provider. Contrast this with Muslims, often more concerned with arranging talks, nasheed concerts and study circles, instead engaging with the Global Village that is Politics and the Media. Read the article below: In the midst of journalism's Sunshine Week - during which the Associated Press and other news organizations are valiantly proclaiming the public's right to know - Associated Press (AP) insists on conducting its own activities in the dark, and refuses to answer even the simplest questions about its system of international news reporting. Most of all, it refuses to explain why it erased footage of an Israeli soldier intentionally shooting a Palestinian boy. AP, according to its website, is the world's oldest and largest news organization. It is the behemoth of news reporting, providing what its editors determine is the news to a billion people each day. Through its feeds to thousands of newspapers, radio and television stations, AP is a major determinant in what Americans read, hear and see - and what they don't. What they don't is profoundly important. I investigated one such omission when I was in the Palestinian Territories last year working on a documentary with my colleague (and daughter), who was filming our interviews. On Oct. 17, 2004 Israeli military forces invaded Balata, a dense, poverty-stricken community deep in Palestine's West Bank (Israel frequently invades this area and others). According to witnesses, the vehicles stayed for about twenty minutes, the military asserting its power over the Palestinian population. The witnesses state that there was no Palestinian resistance - no clash, no crossfire, not even any stone-throwing. At one point, after most of the vehicles had finally driven away, an Israeli soldier stuck his gun out of his armored vehicle, aimed at a pre-pubescent boy nearby, and pulled the trigger. We went to the hospital and interviewed the boy, Ahmad, his doctors, family, and others. Ahmad had bandages around his lower abdomen, where surgeons had operated on his bladder. He said he was afraid of Israeli soldiers, and pulled up his pants leg to show where he had been shot previously. In the hospital there was a second boy, this one with a shattered femur; and a third boy, this one in critical condition with a bullet hole in his lung. A fourth boy, not a patient, was visiting a friend. He showed us a scarred lip and missing teeth from when Israeli soldiers had shot him in the mouth. This was not an unusual situation. When I had visited Palestinian hospitals on a previous trip, I had seen many such victims; some with worse injuries. Yet, very few Americans know this is going on. AP's actions in regard to Ahmad's shooting may explain why. We discovered that an AP cameraman had filmed the entire incident. This cameraman had then followed what apparently is the usual routine. He sent his video - an extremely valuable commodity, since it contained documentary evidence of a war crime - to the AP control bureau for the region. This bureau is in Israel. What happened next is unfathomable. Did AP broadcast it? No. Did AP place the video in safe-keeping, available for an investigation of this crime? No. According to its cameraman, AP erased it. We were astounded. We traveled to AP's control bureau in Israel. With our own video camera out and running, we asked bureau chief Steve Gutkin about this incident. Was the information we had been told correct, or did he have a different version? Did the bureau have the video, or had they indeed erased it. If so, why? Gutkin, repeatedly looking at the camera and visibly flustered, told us that AP did not allow its journalists to give interviews. He told us that all questions must go to Corporate Communications, located in New York. He explained that they were on deadline and couldn't talk. I said I understood deadline pressure, and sat down to wait until they were done. When he called Israeli police to arrest us, we left. Back in the US later, I phoned Corporate Communications and reached Director of Media Relations Jack Stokes, AP's public relations spokesman. I had conversed

1. NARATED BY : AISHA VOLUME : 5: 213 Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned a church they had seen in Ethiopia and in the church there were pictures. When they told the Prophet of this, he said, Those people are such that if a pious man amongst them died, they build a place of worship over his grave and paint these pictures in it. Those people will be Allah's worst creatures on the Day of Resurrection. 2. NARATED BY : URWA BIN AZ ZUBAIR VOLUME : 5: 725 'Aisha said, The Prophet said during his fatal illness, 'Allah cursed the Jews for they took the graves of their prophets as places for worship.' 'Aisha added, Had it not been for that (statement of the Prophet) his grave would have been made conspicuous. But he was afraid that it might be taken as a place for worship. 3. NARATED BY : AISHA AND IBN ABBAS VOLUME : 4: 660 On his death-bed Allah's Apostle put a sheet over his face and when he felt hot, he would remove it from his face. When in that state (of putting and removing the sheet) he said, May Allah's Curse be on the Jews and the Christians for they build places of worship at the graves of their prophets. (By that) he intended to warn (the Muslim) from what they (i.e. Jews and Christians) had done. 4. NARATED BY : AISHA VOLUME : 2: 472 Allah's Apostle in his fatal illness said, Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians, for they built the places of worship at the graves of their prophets. And if that had not been the case, then the Prophet's grave would have been made prominent before the people. So (the Prophet ) was afraid, or the people were afraid that his grave might be taken as a place for worship. SAHIH AL MUSLIM 1. HADITH NO : 1083NARATED BY : JUNDUB IBN ABDULLAH I heard from the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) five days before his death and he said: I stand acquitted before Allah that I took anyone of you as friend, for Allah has taken me as His friend, as he took Ibrahim as His friend. Had I taken any one of my Ummah as a friend, I would have taken AbuBakr as a friend. Beware of those who preceded you and used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that. 2. HADITH NO : 2116 NARATED BY : JABIR IBN ABDULLA Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade that the graves should be plastered, or they be used as sitting places (for the people), or a building should be built over them. 3. HADITH NO: 2114 NARATED BY : FADALAH IBN UBAYD Thumamah ibn Shafayy reported: When we were with Fadalah ibn Ubayd in the country of the Romans at a place (known as) Rudis, a friend of ours died. Fadalah ibn Ubayd ordered to prepare a grave for him and then it was levelled; and then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) commanding (us) to level the grave. 4. HADITH NO: 2115 NARATED BY : ALI IBN ABU TALIB AbulHayyaj al-Asadi told that Ali ibn AbuTalib said to him: Should I not send you on the same mission as Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) sent me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling it. This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of transmitters and he said: (do not leave) a picture without obliterating it. May Allah guide us in the straight path!

RE: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Prophets (Sallallaahu Alayhi W asallam) Prayer - according to the Hanafi Madhab
Fiqh-us-Sunnah Fiqh 1.132 Sunnah acts of prayer, The Position of the Hands Al-Kamal ibn al-Hamam is of the opinion, There is no authentic hadith stating that one must place the hands under the chest or below the navel. According to the Hanifiyyah, the hands are to be placed below the navel, and the Shafiyyah say below the chest. Ahmad has two narrations corresponding to these two opinions. The correct position is somewhere in the middle - to be equal. Observes at-Tirmidhi, Knowledgeable companions, their followers and those that came after them believed that one should put his right hand over the left during prayer, while some say above the navel and others say below the navel... Nevertheless, there do exist hadith that the Propet, upon whom be peace, placed his hands on his chest. Reported Hulb at-Ta'i, I saw the Prophet, upon whom be peace, praying with his right hand over his left upon his chest above the elbow. This is related by Ahmad and at-Tirmidhi, who grades it as hassan. Reported Wa'il ibn Hajr, Once when I prayed with the Prophet, upon whom be peace, he placed his right hand over his left upon his chest. The report is recorded by Ibn Khuzaimah, who considers it as sahih, and by Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i with the wording, Then he put his right hand over the back of his left wrist and forearm. Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 758PAGE NO: 194 Narrated by Tawus The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) used to place his right hand on his left hand, then he folded them strictly on his chest in prayer. Narrated by Wa'il bin Hujr( R.A) I prayed with the Prophet( P.B.U.H) he put his right hand on his left ( and then placed them) on his chest. ( Reported by Ibn Khuzaima ) THE FOLLOWING HADITHS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE WEAK BY MAJOR SCHOLARS Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 755Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib AbuJuhayfah said: Ali said that it is a sunnah to place one hand on the other in prayer below the navel. Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 756Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib Jarir ad-Dabbi reported: I saw Ali (Allah be pleased with him) catching hold of his left hand) by his right hand on the wrist above the navel. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 7:02 PM To: eGroup For Muslims Around The World Subject: Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Prophets (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) Prayer - according to the Hanafi Madhab http://www.jamiat.org.za/images/jukznj.gif http://www.jamiat.org.za/askjam.html This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] JI shoora questions US quest against Iran-
JI shoora dares to question US quest against Iran Lahore, March 4: The Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan has passionately appealed the American people, comity of nations, Muslim countries and especially the government of Pakistan to make categorical disapproval for not becoming part of the Washington's maneuvering against Iran. The Muslim countries should declare that attack on Iran would be considered an attack against the Muslim world. The Islamabad should make an irrevocable decision of not becoming part of any American aggression against Iran and instead voice that she will side with fraternal Iran to fight back such misfortune. These demands were made in a unanimously adopted resolution by the central council (shoora) of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan here on Sunday. The two-day extra ordinary meeting of the party was presided over by its central ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad. The JIP shoora took strong exception to various worn-out American allegations of developing nukes and weapons of mass destruction against Iran on the line its biased media brain-washed the world opinion ahead of attack on Iraq. The military build-up in the Gulf Sea and stock piles of banned weapons and its synchronization with the pressure tactics against neighboring countries speaks about American designs to isolate Tehran before subjecting it to naked aggression. The resolution noted with great concern the sectarian and linguistic plans unleashed by Washington in the region to divide people on parochial lines. The huge defence spending by the Iran's Arab neighbor countries to counter the Shiite hoax created by America media and think tanks also point out future American designs in the area. The JI shoora condemned Islamabad for ignoring Iran and its close ally Syria in Feb 26 moot of foreign ministers' in Islamabad. It also lambasted by-passing of the Palestinian and Lebanese officials in the FMs conference. In this milieu, Islamabad's contacts with the pro-American Palestinian president Mehmoud Abbas and Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora also irked the JI shoora. The Washington would not succeed in hoodwinking its people by posing Iran as a great threat in the light of concocted media hype. Attack on Iran would be a fatal suicide for America because the oil-rich Iran is neither a resource-less country like Afghanistan nor it is feeble as that of Iraq undermined by prolonged long autocratic rule. Any misadventure in Iran would cause acute oil crisis. The entire region would be exposed to dangerous fall out of American attack on Iranian nuclear installations, the resolution warned. The meeting appealed the Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, Turkey and Syria not to bow before American threats and make serious efforts by taking their respective public into confidence and foil fatal American designs. Any failure to respond this urgent call will embolden America to use the same pretext for attacking other Muslim countries one after another, the resolution concluded.

Boycott Israel [IslamCity] In Defence of Dictators!
In Defence of dictatorsBy: ABID ULLAH JANPublished: February 12, 2007A US magazine, PARADE, issued its annual List of the worlds worst dictators. The problem with the definition of dictators is that half of the listed dictators are puppets, surviving in power only because of the support of real dictators. The flawed criteria used for listing dictators considers only those heads of states as dictators who exercise arbitrary authority over the lives of his citizens and who cannot be removed from power through legal means. There is no contention with the listed dictators. The problem lies with the fact most of the listed dictators are puppets, who would not be there without the blessing of the elected and democratic dictators. These democratic dictators can definitely be removed through legal means, but their acts and rule is far more dictatorial and dangerous to the world peace than the listed dictators. For example, none of the other dictators combined have committed far more terrible human rights abuses on international level than George Bush and Tony Blair. Yet they are not even considered in the category of dictators. What is important: the level and scope of crimes committed against humanity or simply the means to ones or going out of power? Of course, the list published in Parade draws in part on reports by global-human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty International. But one wonders what happened to all the reports of these organizations on Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, Palestine, Chechnya and Kashmir. Which dictators is at fault of the abuse of human rights, civil war and mass killings in these places. Many of the listed and unlisted dictators (e.g., Karzai in Kabul, Malaki in Baghdad) would not even be on the radar screen today if they were not fully supported by Bush, Blair and the rest of their allies. Suddans Omar al-Bashir is put in the first place for killing 180,000 civilians in Darfur in Western Sudan and displacing 2 million people from their homes. Compare this with the killings and displacement of people as a result of Bush and Blairs war of aggression on the basis of lies. Is it necessary that a dictatorial regime must always be run by just one dictator? What if dictators follow one after another through the so-considered legal means and popular elections? What if these seemingly democratically elected leaders act far worse than the listed dictators? Think of the successive Israeli heads of state, who have been committing ethnic cleansing for the past 60 years. Think of the successive US and UK leadership since the Gulf War II, for instance, who have taken lives of at least 1.8 million through the genocidal sanctions in Iraq alone. Why their rule should not be considered as dictatorial? Islam Karimov, Musharraf, King Abdullah of Jordan, and Meles Zenawi of Eithopia, of course, are dictators. But who is supporting them? Who are sustaining them in power? Whose military forces are protecting Saudi Kingdom and Kuwaiti Sheikhdom? If not for the Western backing, these dictators cannot survive a single day in power. Massacres of Karimov, illegal detentions of Musharraf and torturous security apparatus of King Abdullah are all acceptable only because they are claiming to be the best friends of the United States and U.K. and are fighting radical Islamists. Validity of the effort is doubtful. The list seems to be politically motivated as well. Syed Ali Khamanei of Iran is at ninth place, whereas dictator Musharraf is at number 17. There is no mention to the butchers of Algeria, fully supported by France and other Western governments. On the other hand, Castro is listed as a dictator only because he is not holding elections. There is no count of the country he invaded. There is no count of the lies he told to his people and the United nations. There is not count of his concentration camps. On the Cuban soil, the only concentration camp belongs to dictator Bush, not Castro. The bottom-line is that irrespective of the titles, Bush remains dictator number one and Blair number two. It hardly matters if people are given a chance to protest in streets in millions before they go to launch wars of aggression. In the end, it is their decision that counts, not the will of the people. The co-opted medias white washing crimes of these top dictators hardly makes them less dictatorial. Similarly, listing some puppets as dictators and ignoring their masters is the worst injustice Western analysts and organizations are doing to humanity. A constructive role on the part of Parade magazine and other media outlets will be to place Bush and Blair on the top of their list of dictators and tell the truth as it is: almost half of the listed dictators will face the fate of Saddam Hussein at the hands of their
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] THE BAATIL SECT : Ahmaddiya a.k.a Qadiyani
JAMIATUL ULAMA (KWAZULU-NATAL) THE BAATIL SECT by Dr Rashid (UAE) Ahmadiyya Movement is following in the footsteps of Christian Missionaries and is engaged in actively misguiding ignorant unsuspecting Muslims into their fold by pretending to be Sunni Muslims and Champions of Islam. Their tactics include setting up centres, clinics, schools, publishing weekly/monthly literature in upto 120 languages, publishing distorted translations of Holy Quran in various languages. They have 24 hour TV broadcasts by the name of MTA via Global Beam, costing around U$75000 per day. In addition they have daily Radio broadcasts in several languages from various bands. Question is who is paying for such enormous propaganda campaign? Qadianis/Ahmadis would have us believe that it is their donations, but one would be very naive to believe that. However this issue can be easily understood when one looks at this movement in historical perspective. In 19th Century, British usurped the power from the Muslims when they landed in India.As a result they faced repeated Movements of Jihad from the Muslim quarters. In 1868 a Parliamentary Commission of Enquiry came to India, consisting of MPs, Journalists and Church Officials, to find a solution of this spirit of Jihad. They submitted their report in 1870 to the British Parliament, entitled 'THE ARRIVAL OF BRITISH EMPIRE IN INDIA'. In this report they recommended that the mentality of Muslims is such that if they accept someone as their religious leader then they follow him blindly. If someone can be found who claim to be an apostolic prophet then the target can be achieved, since Muslims are waiting for the coming of a Messiah and Mahdi. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani was chosen for the task for his ancestral links with the British Raj. Mirza Ghulam launched himself as a Rejuvenator of Islam and a servant of Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). Soon some followers gathered around him, consisting some of the Government employees who wanted to please the Raj. However some of these followers sincerely believed in Mirza's claims of being a servant of Islam. He formed Ahmadiyya Movement in 1890. Soon Mirza claimed to be Messiah, Imam Mahdi and a prophet in his own right. Servant became the Master! In this capacity he abrogated Jihad. Despite protests from Muslims, Mirza and his movement flourished under the benevolent of the British Raj. Muslims could do little to contain this heretical doctrine that was being grafted into the body of Islam. Mirza died in 1908 while Ahmadiyya Movement continue to enjoy support from the Colonial Masters, who utilised their services as Spies in various Muslim countries during the 1st and 2nd World Wars. With the Independence of Pakistan, Ahmadiyya Movement regained new life under the patronage of Sir Zafarullah Khan, the 1st Foreign Minister of this newly founded country. Taking advantage of the chaotic situations, he filled the Civil, Foreign, Judicial and Military Services with Qadiani followers. Every Pakistan Foreign Post in various parts of the world effectively served as a Qadiani base and at the expense of Government of Pakistan, missionary centres were established in different countries. Rapid promotions were given to those who converted to Qadianism or were Qadiani sympathisers. This resulted in serious uprising by the Muslims in early 1950s which was brutally crushed by the police and army, imposing Martial Law in parts of Punjab.Government wanted to remove Sir Zafarullah Khan but USA threatened to stopped the supply of grain to this new Islamic Republic in its infancy! However the first serious blow came to this Movement when Islamic Scholars of 124 countries met under the auspices of Rabita Alam Islam (Muslim World League) in Makkah and declared Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers as apostates and out of the fold of Islam. Soon Pakistani Parliament by a unanimous vote passed a Constitutional Amendment declaring Qadianis as a non-Muslim minority. Thus the fate of this Jama'at was sealed for ever. However by that time they were well entrenched in various parts of Africa and West. In the name of Persecution on religious grounds, they started getting immigration/asylum in various countries. With the fall of Communism and break down of Russia, West suddenly realised that the threat of Islamic revival in much more dangerous than communism ever was. Reports that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the Western Hemisphere are disturbing indeed for them. Various strategies are being adopted to contain this threat of Islam and supporting Ahmadiyya Movement is one such strategy. Making a person Qadiani, is one Muslim less. West knows that and Ahmadiyya Movement Hierarchy knows that too but just as they played the role of spies in the WW, they are willing to play the role of fifth columnists among the
Boycott Israel [IslamCity] 8 Habits of Highly Effective Muslims
The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears, and each ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things. (Al-Qur'an, 2:261 (Al-Baqara [The Cow]) 8 Habits of Highly Effective Muslims! Hadhrat Haatim asam (R.A.) was a famous Ulama and noble student of Hadhrat Shaqeeq Balkhi (R.A.). Once his Shaikh Shaqeeq (R.A.) inquired from him, Haatim, how long have you been with me? Thirty three years, replied Haatim (R.A.); the Shaikh then inquired, How much have you learnt from me in this period? Haatim (R.A.) replied, I have learnt eight Masaail (Islamic rules). Inanaa, Lillaahi Wa Innaailaihi Raajioon. My life has been wasted on you. Haatim (R.A.) replied, Sir, I have learnt eight Masalaas (Islamic rules) only. I cannot tell you a lie. Hadhrat Shaqeeq (R.A.) said, Tell what are these Masalaas? Haatim (R.A.) replied: 1. I have seen everyone loves something or another - His wife, his children, his wealth, his friends, etc, but I have seen that when a person is lowered into the grave, then all the objects of his love are separated from him. Therefore, I started loving good deeds instead, so that when I am lowered into my grave, my beloved will accompany me, and not be separated from me even after death. Hadhrat Shaqeeq (R.A.) said, You have done well. 2. I have read the words of Allah Taaalaa in the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran states, And as for him who fears to stand before his Lord (for the account) and restrained (held back) himself from low desires, verily the Garden (Jannat) that will be his home. (Chapt. 79 :Vr. 40-41) I believe in the truth of Allah Taaalaas words and therefore stopped my nafs (love of ones self) from desires, so much so, that it became steadfast in the obedience of Allah Taaalaa. 3. I have seen that whosoever loves and values a thing of this world, keeps it safely. I have read the words of Allah Taaalaa.. The Holy Quran says: That which is with you passes away and that which is with Allah is lasting. (Chapt. 16 Vr. 96) Because of this verse anything of value that reached me I advanced it to Allah Taaalaa, so that it could be secured forever. 4. Viewing the world I have seen some people, turning towards their wealth as a manner of honour and greatness, others turning towards lineage (parentage) yet others do things that become a source of vanity and pride. In the view of the words of Allah Taaalaa the Holy Quran says: Verily the noblest amongst you in the sight of Allah Taaalaa is the one who is the most mindful of his duties. (Chapt. 49 :Vr. 13) I became mindful of the commands of Allah Taaalaa so that I may be honoured in his sight. 5. I have seen people taunting (insulting), finding fault and abusing each other. This is motivated (started) by jealousy which they have for one another. The Holy Quran says: Its we who have apportioned (divided) among them their livelihood in the life of the world and we have raised some of them over others in rank, so that some of them may take others in service. (Chapt. 43. Vr. 32Q) If all the people are of equal rank then why will one not work and why should one be employed. This will upset the order of the world. Due to this verse I have left jealousy. I became independent of the entire creation. I became aware of the fact that the distribution of provision lies solely in the control of Allah Taaalaa. He gives any amount to whomsoever he wishes, therefore I had left animosity (envy). I have understood that mans prosperity is not relative solely to his effort, instead it is a gift from the Master of the universe, hence I do not get angry. 6. I have observed that practically everyone has quarrels and harbors enmity. Having pondered, I saw that Allah Taaalaa has commanded in the verse. The Holy Quran says, Surely, the Satan is your enemy, so treat him as an enemy. (Do not make him your friend). (Chapt. 35 Vr. 6) Thus, I have chosen him as my enemy I try my best to stay away from him, because Allah Taaalaa declared him as an enemy. 7. I have seen everyone striving for their daily bread, due to this they disgrace themselves in front of others and take unlawful things. Then I read the verse of Allah Taaalaa: And there is no moving creatures on earth but its sustenance dependant on Allah. (Chapt.11 Vr. 6) I saw that I am also amongst those walking on the earth whose provision is the responsibility of Allah Taaalaa. I have utilised my time in those activities which Allah Taaalaa has ordained, and gained time by not undertaking the responsibility of Allah. 8. I have seen the people depending on the creation, some on their properties others on their business, whereas others depend on their

The Timeshttp://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1485325.ece Thursday, 08 March 2007 Mikhail Gorbachev, the former President of the Soviet Union, whose *glasnost *(openness) policy initiated the end of the Cold War, has delivered an attack on the Government over its decision to replace the Trident nuclear deterrent. In a letter to The Times todayhttp://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/debate/letters/article1485002.ece( *I* *have added, please check below, Arif Bhuiyan*), Mr Gorbachev writes: The UK Government's rush to deploy nuclear missiles whose service life would extend until 2050 is, to say the least, astonishing. He says that a responsible course of action would be to postpone the decision on the future of the UK nuclear arsenal at least until the next review of the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty in 2010. Mr Gorbachev adds that deploying new nuclear missiles would be in contradiction with the spirit of the agreements that helped to end the Cold War.

Mr Gorbachev adds that deploying new nuclear missiles... * Gorbachev attacks Labour's 'rush to deploy nuclear missiles' until 2050 * Thursday, 08 March 2007 I want to express my concern over the intention of Tony Blair's Government to replace the British nuclear arsenal with a new generation of nuclear weapons. This is happening in an alarming setting: the process of reducing the nuclear arms of the US and Russia has stalled; the negotiations on these issues are virtually frozen. Prominent US political leaders — George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, William Perry and Sam Nunn — have expressed concern over this situation and made specific proposals toward ridding the world of nuclear weapons; President Putin has urged George Bush to negotiate a new agreement to replace the START Treaty. There is a real danger of proliferation of nuclear weapons. A few days ago, IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei stated that the agency can provide no assurance as to the absence of undeclared nuclear activities in 30 countries that have not signed safeguards agreements, adding that many states have been slow to conclude and ratify the additional protocol on more effective control. Under such circumstances, the UK Government's rush to deploy nuclear missiles whose service life would extend until 2050 is, to say the least, astonishing. The Treaty on NonProliferation of Nuclear Weapons commits the nuclear power to effective measures of nuclear disarmament. In fact, the entire structure of that treaty, which is already under considerable strain, rests on that commitment. The decision to deploy new nuclear missiles would be in contradiction to the spirit of the agreements that helped to end the Cold War. At the time, the United Kingdom supported the US-Soviet accords on cuts in strategic, intermediate-range, and tactical nuclear weapons, which have by now resulted in reducing nuclear arsenals by almost two thirds, and pledged that it would be ready to join the process of nuclear reductions at an appropriate moment. Yet the Government's arguments in support of the proposed replacement contain no mention of that promise. The statement President Reagan and I made in 1985, that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought, was in effect a declaration of the need to rid humankind of nuclear weapons. Today it has an even greater urgency. In a world of new threats and challenges, nuclear weapons do not solve real security problems; indeed, reliance on them is becoming increasingly dangerous. Whatever technical measures are taken to prevent nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists or rogue elements and to prevent a nuclear war breaking out as a result of technical failure or accident, such a possibility will be present so long as nuclear weapons exist. A responsible course of action for the Government would be to postpone the decision on the future of the UK nuclear arsenal at least until the next review conference of the NonProliferation Treaty in 2010. *MIKHAIL GORBACHEV* Chairman of the Board of Green Cross International Geneva -- Ends
