Bismillah [IslamCity] Immediate Release on Rohingyas Muslim in Thailand
Date: April 04, 2008 Ref: : 06-2008/PM/TH Immediate Release on Rohingyas in Thailand On behalf of entire Rohingya community, we, the members of the Free Rohingya Campaign (FRC), would like to express our disappointment with the decision of the Government of Thailand to send the stranded Rohingya refugees to an isolated island. This decision is inhumane and a clear violation of human rights. It violates several UN and International laws, especially the 1967 Protocol of the Geneva Convention, regarding Statelessness. The Rohingyas in Burma have been rendered stateless after being denied their citizen rights since 1982. They are under the threat of extinction through a systematic genocidal campaign of the brutal Burmese junta. They are indeed the most oppressed people on earth. This fact has been documented and corroborated by several international agencies, including the NGOs operating in the region. It is the Burmese regime's atrocity and inhuman treatment of the Rohingya Muslims that has been the Raison d'être for their forced eviction and refugee status in countries like Thailand. We are simply horrified to notice the Thai Government's utter indifference to the plight of our people. We are sorry to state that the decision of the Thai Government mimics its hostile and hateful attitude towards its own Muslim minority who face daily persecution and religious oppression. We call upon the Thai Government to stop this forced encampment of the Rohingya refugees immediately. We would like to call upon the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), and all member nations of the OIC to stop the Government of Thailand from forced encampment of the Rohingya Refugees in an isolated island that would kill them. We would also like to point-out that the restriction of movement against the Burmese Refugees in Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and other countries is in itself a crime that hinders their survival as human beings. We also call upon the UN human right bodies to take meaningful steps toward stopping the forced exodus of Burmese people in future. And we urge the international community to do everything that is within its power to stop such encampment of Rohingya refugees. It should also raise concerns about economic and political ties of the Thai and Chinese governments with the Burmese regime. We call upon the UNSC to continue Burma's Agenda in her next session as a serious issue and to support the demand for an arms embargo against the brutal regime. We invite all Rohingyas worldwide to put a hand with FRC by standing a peaceful protest in front of the Royal Thai Embassies or her Consulate offices till the government repeat their decision against the Rohingyas and not to threat any other Burmese community in future. However, we hope Burmese community will give a meaningful hand with us in this regards. We specially would like to call upon the Muslim communities from South-East Asia region to show their solidarity with our defenseless Rohingya Muslim and with Thai-Muslim community who are even under several maltreatments for longtime under Thai hypocritical regime. Finally, we would like to request all democracy-loving countries to limit their business transactions with counties like Thailand, India, China and Russia that provide the lifeline to the brutal Burmese junta, through their economic bilateral ties. Thanking you in anticipation.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Criminal Murtads are doomed!
Criminal Murtads are doomed! Firstly and most importantly, Muslims believe in One True God - the Creator of the Universe [Quran 112:1-4; 59:24; 67:12]. So, if there is indeed a God, Muslims definitely believe in Him. There is no ambiguity about that. Secondly, Muslims believe in all the Prophets including Moses and Jesus and their Message. Muslims also do not deny the message of the Bible [OT NT] as a Whole [Note: The name 'Bible' is not in the Bible!]. They mainly deny those parts of the Bible that moderate Jews and Christians themselves do not believe in them! For example: racism, nationalism, slave trade, witch burning, stoning to death for apostasy-blasphemy-adultery, honor killing, inferior status of women, genocide on innocent people, terrorism, absurdities, superstitions, etc. So, Muslims have absolutely nothing to be afraid of Judaism and Christianity, even if they are true religion! Although there is nothing call 'Judaism' and 'Christianity' in the first place, according to the Bible! Now, let's see the fate of the criminal Murtads [i.e. criminal apostates]! Criminal Murtads have no way to escape Hell, if Hell does really exist! Because the concept of Hell does exist in each and every religion, in one form or another! For example: - If Hinduism is true, then criminal Murtads will be punished into the cycles of rebirth in the wombs of demons and in the lowest hell for eternity [Gita 16:19-20; 14:15; etc.]! They will also be reincarnated as lower creatures like rat/pig/monkey/donkey/rabid-dog/etc. in their next life, and the process will be continued for eternity! The same is true for Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism! - If Judaism/Christianity is true, then they will be roasted in Hell fire for eternity! - If Islam is true, then they will be burned in Islamic Hell [Quran 2:23-24; the only true Hell, according to Islamic Murtads]! So, the treacherous criminals and slave mentality Murtads are doomed! Great minds have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein - You rock.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Egypt�s Muslim Brotherhood Belongs on the Ballot, Not Behind Bars
A painful reading. http://www.ikhwanweb.com/Article.asp?ID=16546LevelID=1SectionID=0 Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Belongs on the Ballot, Not Behind Bars Essam El Erian, Forward - Cairo, Egypt Thursday, April 3, 2008 On April 8 municipal elections are scheduled to be held nationwide across Egypt, but they will hardly be a vote for the kind of democracy that America proclaims it supports here and elsewhere in the Arab world. Since a brief democratic opening in 2006, the Egyptian regime has become more hostile toward political opposition, showing less and less tolerance toward the increasingly loud voices of reform led by the Muslim Brotherhood, civil society organizations and a handful of active political parties. In its relentless effort to silence voices of political dissent, the Egyptian government often resorts to arbitrary arrests and prolonged detentions without trial. I myself have been detained several times, and have spent seven out of the past 12 years of my life behind bars. Today four independent newspaper editors are facing time in prison for allegedly libeling government officials, most prominent among them editor Ibrahim Eissa, who just a few days ago was sentenced to six months for publishing information about President Hosni Mubarak’s health. The editor of the Muslim Brotherhood’s English Web site, Khaled Hamza, was detained last month, and the editor of our Arabic Web site, Abdel Gelil al Sharnoubi, has had his house raided twice in the past two weeks. Ayman Nour, a fellow former parliament member who ran against Mubarak in the most recent presidential elections in 2005, is halfway into a five-year sentence. And 40 of my fellow Muslim Brotherhood leaders are behind bars awaiting judgment by a military tribunal that has already twice delayed their hearing, despite their having been acquitted at least four times on all charges by civilian courts. Nonetheless, the Muslim Brotherhood will participate in the upcoming municipal elections, despite the regime’s unabated crackdown against our movement — by our count more than 800 of our members have been detained without charge in recent months, including at least 148 of our candidates for the local elections — and the smear campaign in the media that has accompanied it. We decided to run for office in order to continue struggling for peaceful reform, to mobilize the streets against desperation, and to encourage more people to join the struggle for freedom and democracy instead of losing hope and resorting to violence. The Muslim Brotherhood is not pushing for radical change in Egypt. Aware of political realities, we decided to contest only 10,000 of the 52,000 seats the government announced are up for grabs in the local councils, so as not to provoke the regime into fixing the final results and to allow for coordination with other opposition groups. Realizing our responsibility as the country’s largest opposition group to defend the rights of minorities and vulnerable groups in Egyptian society, our lists included candidates from different economic and social classes, as well as women and Copts. The ruling National Democratic Party, however, has clearly not seen our campaign this way. The government took its crackdown on democracy a step further than it had in previous elections. Instead of just rigging elections as it traditionally has, the regime banned opposition candidates from registering to run for election at all. Bureaucratic measures reduced the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate list down to 5,754, and even then we counted only 498 who managed to register. Hundreds of them were detained on their way to submitting their registration papers. Independent and opposition candidates were also unable to submit their papers. Like our candidates, many were met by security forces and thugs who prevented them from reaching local election offices. The Muslim Brotherhood has fought back through the courts, filing 3,192 lawsuits demanding that our candidates be on the ballot come election day. So far we have won 2,664 of these cases, and we stand a good chance of winning the remaining pending cases. The government, however, has refused to honor the court rulings. Most of our candidates are not listed on the final ballots released by local officials around the country in recent days. It has become clear that the National Democratic Party will not face any real competition in the upcoming elections. With only a few hundred opposition and independent candidates running, the ruling party has already secured more than 95% of seats, before even a single vote has been cast. Despite the government’s repressive campaign against the Muslim Brotherhood — and its attack on our constitutional, legal and human rights — we remain committed to peaceful reform. We will

Bismillah [IslamCity] No more Mosque! BBC is too scared of Islam!
# 1 No more mosques, says senior Synod member By Jonathan Petre, Religion Correspondent The Telegraph, 2 April 08. # 2 Anti-homophobia books removed from schools By Jonathan Petre, Religion Correspondent The Telegraph, 2 April 08. # 3 Muslims outnumber Catholics, Vatican says By Jonathan Petre, Religion Correspondent The Telegraph, 1 April 08. # 4 From The Times, April 2, 2008 BBC is too scared of Islam, says Ben Elton Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent Detail: No more mosques, says senior Synod member By Jonathan Petre, Religion Correspondent The Telegraph, 2 April 08. A senior lay member of the Church of England's Parliament has called for a ban on the building of more mosques in Britain. Alison Ruoff, a long-standing member of the General Synod, said that new mosques should not be built in this country while Islamic states continued to persecute Christians. The former magistrate, who was one of the strongest critics of the Archbishop of Canterbury's speech on Islamic law earlier this year, added that sharia would be introduced into Britain if we don't watch out. Apart from being a Synod member, Mrs Ruoff, a conservative evangelical, also sits on the Bishop's Council, which advises the Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres. Although her views are representative of a small minority on the Synod, and Church spokesmen moved quickly to isolate her yesterday, they may exacerbate tensions over the place of Muslims in society. A spokesman for the Diocese of London said: Mrs Ruoff's comments are her own and do not reflect the views of the Diocese of London, which enjoys excellent inter-faith relations across the capital. A Church of England spokesman added: These are her personal comments, speaking as an individual. But senior Muslims had already reacted angrily to her comments, saying they were more typical of a member of the British National Party than the Anglican Church. Mrs Ruoff, speaking in an interview with Premier Radio, the Christian radio station, said: No more mosques in the UK. We are constantly building new mosques, which are paid for by the money that comes from oil states. We have only in this country, as far as we know, 3.5 to four million Muslims. There are enough mosques for Muslims in this country, they don't need any more. We don't need to have sharia law which would come with more mosques imposed upon our nation, if we don't watch out, that would happen. If we want to become an Islamic state, this is the way to go. You build a mosque and then what happens? You have Muslim people moving into that area, all the shops will then become Islamic, all the housing will then become Islamic and as the Bishop of Rochester has so wisely pointed out, that will be a no go area for anyone else. They will bring in Islamic law. We cannot allow that to happen. Mrs Ruoff, who lives in Waltham Cross, north east London, added: We are still a Christian country, we need to hold on to that. If we don't watch out, we will become an Islamic state. It's that serious. However, Inayat Bunglawala, the assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: These are unfortunately very bigoted and, frankly, xenophobic remarks. He added: These kinds of comments you would expect to come from someone from the BNP not the Church. According to Premier Radio, there are 47,000 Christian churches in the UK and about 1,600 mosques. # 2 Anti-homophobia books removed from schools By Jonathan Petre, Religion Correspondent The Telegraph, 2 April 08. Story books designed to discourage children from bullying homosexuals have been withdrawn from two primary schools after an outcry from predominantly Muslim parents, a council said yesterday. The books were removed by Bristol City Council after parents complained that the anti-homophobia programme was not appropriate for many pupils and had been introduced without consultation. The Council said that it had temporarily withdrawn teaching materials from Easton Primary School and Bannerman Road Community School and Children’s Centre so they could “meet their legal responsibilities and operate safely”. One of the books, which was aimed at pupils as young as five, featured the story of a king who could not find a suitable woman to be his wife so he married a prince instead. Members of Bristol Muslim Cultural Society in Bristol said parents were not outraged by the school’s anti-bullying policies but were frustrated by the lack of consultation. Farooq Siddique, the community development officer for Bristol Muslim Cultural Society and a governor at Bannerman Road, said many schoolchildren - 70 per cent of whom are Muslim - were too young to define heterosexuality and homosexuality. “The main issue was there was a total lack of consultation with parents. ... The schools refused to deal with the parents, and were completely authoritarian,” he said. “The agenda was to reduce homophobic bullying, and all the parents said they

Bismillah [IslamCity] UN rejects water as basic human right
UN rejects water as basic human right

OTTAWA - The Harper government can declare victory after a United Nations
meeting rejected calls for water to be recognized as a basic human right.
Instead, a special resolution proposed by Germany and Spain at the UN human
rights council was stripped of references that recognized access to water as a
human right. The countries also chose to scrap the idea of creating an
international watchdog to investigate the issue, choosing instead to appoint a
new consultant that would make recommendations over the next three years.
Federal officials in Canada said last week that the government wanted to
ensure the meeting's outcome reflected the fact that access to water is not
formally recognized as a human right in international law. But a social
advocacy group said that the position was designed to protect the right to sell
water under the North American Free Trade Agreement.
var addthis_pub = 'canada.com';
function textCounter(field,cntfield,maxlimit)
{ if (field.value.length maxlimit) // if too
long...trim it! field.value = field.value.substring(0,
maxlimit); // otherwise, update 'characters left'
counter else {
var divLabel = document.getElementById(divLabel);
divLabel.innerHTML = maxlimit - field.value.length + characters
remaining;} }
Clearly (the Harper government is) happy with the status quo: They're not
going to be an agent for change, and they're not going to support the right to
water, said Maude Barlow, chair of the Council of Canadians. About every
eight seconds, a child somewhere in the world is dying from dirty water, and
it's just shocking that our government has taken this position.
The opposition Liberals supported the government's position last week,
arguing that the original UN resolution could open the door to bulk water
exports to the U.S. because of NAFTA. Liberal water critic Francis Scarpaleggia
said he planned to introduce a private member's bill to restrict large
transfers of water within Canada to ensure that bulk exports abroad would also
be forbidden.
The UN's high commissioner for human rights, Louise Arbour, said last week
that the position doesn't reflect Canada's traditional role on the
international stage.
Canada is taking a position that is not the more classic perceived, Canada
as the kind of the bridge builder, peacemaker, consensus maker, Arbour told
the CBC.
Meantime, Barlow denied that the resolution would require Canada to make bulk
water exports to the U.S.
The requirement in the United States would be for them to conserve first,
said Barlow. There's no requirement as a human right for us to provide water
for swimming pools and golf courses and fountains in Las Vegas.
A spokesperson for the Foreign Affairs Department said in an e-mail that
there was no consensus among states regarding the existence, scope or content
of such a right.
