Bismillah [IslamCity] Notes .......
Sunday, 13 April 2008Notes from the Iraqi Resistance... http://arabwomannews.blogspot.com/2008/04/notes-from-iraqi-resistance.html This post is a transcript of the interview with Dr.I.Al-Shammari,(head of the Islamic Army of Iraq/IAI) aired on Arabic, Al-Jazeerah TV on the 9th of April 2008, an interview conducted by Ahmad Mansour. And below is my translation. Dr.I.Al-Shammari replies and comments are in Italics. IAI is ONE faction of the Iraqi Resistance(IR). I have tried regrouping his replies under headings to simplify it for the reader.Please do remember that this a transcript from hand written notes. 1) Words of Introduction by Al-Shammari in response to a question re.the surge and the IR. Petraeus did not make any progress in Iraq. This is nothing but another lie in the series of lies started by Bush with his WMDs. There is no progress. The Resistance has not changed its strategy which is the end of the occupation. Petraeus alleged that the attacks are down by 60% when 2007 was the year that witnessed the highest rate of attacks. The Resistance did change its tactics but not its strategy. The Americans are desperate for some calm before the November elections, but the Resistance will decide when to implement an upsurge in its attacks against the occupier, maybe during certain crucial moments but this is up to the Resistance to decide when and how. As I said, there is a change of tactics but not of strategy. 2) What about the drop in the IR attacks ? What looks like a current drop is not a weakness. We are a realist/pragmatic movement. There have been changes in the Iraqi political scene, namely Al-Qaeda, the Sahwa and the sectarian Shiite militias and we adapt accordingly. There have been many attempt to purify the Resistance by the occupiers and others... So, no, we did not dissolve or dilute, either against Al-Qaeda or the sectarian Shiite Militias. In fact the Americans by backing the sectarian Shiite militias wanted just that, to weaken us. Remember that we are facing a dual occupation, weve said in the past and we repeat it again, a dual occupation by the US and Iran. 3) On Sectarianism. a) You have been accused of Sunni Sectarianism, what do you have to say to that? The IR protected Shiites in many areas from their own death squads. The IR has condemned and condemns attacks on civilians, we do not blow up markets filled with innocent lives. This is a propaganda tactic by the occupier to discredit us. Suicide bombings against Iraqi civilians, beheadings, car bombs and the rest are all the work of the Occupation, the mercenaries, the Mossad, the Iranian militias and its sectarian squads. On many occasions, cars have been stopped at checkpoints only to find out that during their search they (US forces and militias) have planted bombs in them without the car owners knowledge. The IR does not do such things. We need the Iraqi people, all of the Iraqi people, it is from them that we draw force and support, how can we target them ? We are a Resistance movement against the Occupation (both American and Iranian) not against the Iraqi people. We need our people. How can we kill our own people ? The sectarian parties and militias backed by Iran and the US started the sectarian and civil war. We do not blame the Shias but the parties and the militias who are totally bought by Iran and who managed to co-opt some of the Iraqi Arab Shiites to their side. A good number of Arab shias are aware of that, and a number of Shia tribes in the South have spoken out against the Iranian influence and we have contact with them and encourage them. They reject these militias and the Iranian influence. Leaders of these sectarian Shiite parties and their religious representatives terrorize the Shias, by calling them "Kafirs" (disbelievers) if they dont follow such and such party or militia... Our theological differences with Shiism can be resolved through discussion, we are not anti-Shiism. We are anti sectarian Shiite parties and militias who are supported by Iran. Our program is the liberation of ALL Iraqis and Iraq from the Occupation. We are not here to liberate Sunnis alone. Ours was never a Sunni program alone. We do not follow such sectarian thinking. Had Sunnis been sectarian, then historically, during the Abbassid, Ummayad and Ottoman eras (eras of Sunni rule) the Sunnis would have wiped out all other sects, including the Shias, but that has evidently not been the case. Our stand is for the Islamic Umma not for the Sunni sect. We defend the whole of Iraq not just the Sunnis. b) But the Resistance is nonetheless majority Sunni, and stayed Sunni, has it not ? The Iraqi Resistance is majority Sunni by default. The U.S. is the one who brought the sectarian Shiite parties and militias when it invaded and occupied. And they were/are backed by Iran. The Marjaiya (Shiite theological council) backed these parties and militias. The U
Bismillah [IslamCity] THE TEARS OF RASULULLAH (SAW)...
THE TEARS OF RASULULLAH (SAW)... Suddenly, there was a person who said salaam. "May I come in?" he asked. But Fatimah did not allow him to enter the room. "I'm sorry, my father is ill," said Fatimah, and turned back and closed the door. She went back to her father who had opened his eyes and he asked Fatimah, "Who was he, my daughter?" "I don't know, my father. It's the first time I'm seeing him," Fatimah said gently. Then, Rasulullah (SAW) looked at his daughter with a trembled look, as if he wanted to reminisce about every part of his daughter's face. "Know one thing! He is who erases the temporary pleasure; he is who separates the companionship in the world. He is the angel of death," said Rasulullah (SAW). Fatimah bore the bomb of her cry. The death angel came toward him, but Rasulullah (SAW) asked why Jibril did not come along with him. Then, Jibril was called. Jibril was ready in the sky to welcome the soul of Habibullah and the leader of the earth. "O Jibril, explain to me about my rights in front of ALLAH?" Rasulullah (SAW) asked with a weak voice. "The doors of the sky have opened; the angels are waiting for your soul." "All jannats are open widely waiting for you," Jibril said. But, in fact, all that did not make Rasulullah (SAW) relieved. His eyes were still full of worry. "You are not happy to hear this news?" asked Jibril. "Tell me about the destiny of my people in the future?" "Don't worry, o Rasul ALLAH. I heard ALLAH told me: 'I make jannat haram for everyone, except the people of Muhammad" Jibril said. It became closer and closer, the time for Malaekat Izrail to do his work. Slowly, Rasulullah's (SAW) soul was pulled. It seemed that the body of Rasulullah (SAW) was full of sweat; the nerves of his neck became tight. "Jibril, how pain this sakaratul maut is!" Rasulullah (SAW) uttered a groan slowly. Fatimah closed her eyes, Ali sat beside her bow deeply and Jibril turned his face back. "Am I repugnant to you that you turn your face back o Jibril?" Rasulullah (SAW) asked to the Deliverer of Wahyu. "Who is the one who could see the Habibullah in his sakaratul maut," Jibril said. Not for a while, Rasulullah (SAW) uttered a groan because of unbearable pain. "O ALLAH, how greatest is this sakaratul maut. Give me all these pains, don't to my people." The body of Rasulullah (SAW) became cold, his feet and chest did not move anymore. His lips vibrated as if he wanted to say something, Ali took his ear close to Rasulullah (SAW). "Uushiikum bis shalati, wa maa malakat aimanuku?, take care the shalat and take care the weak people among you." Outside the room, there were cries shouted each other, sahabat held each other. Fatimah closed her face with her hands and, again, Ali took his ear close to Rasulullah's (SAW) mouth which became bluish. "Ummatii, ummatii, ummatii?" ? "My people, my people, my people." And the life of the noble man ended. Could we love each other like him? Allahumma sholli 'ala Muhammad wa baarik wa salim 'alaihi. How deep is Rasulullah's (SAW) love to us. - Note: Send this to all your Muslim friends so that the awareness to love ALLAH and HIS Rasul appears as ALLAH and HIS Rasul love us - Amiin? Don't worry if people hate you because there are many others who love and care for you in the earth. But be worried if ALLAH hates you because there is no other who loves and cares for you in akhirat. Wassalam Yek from Turkei,Istanbul United States of Islam j786SURAH22

Re: Bismillah [IslamCity] Kurdish Powder Keg in Turkey's Dark Shadow, Daily Muslims
Assalaamu 'alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, It's not as easy as you make it out to be akhi. One of the main reasons why the formation of a 'Kurdistan' is on the drawing board is because there's plenty of 'oil' reserves in places such as Mosul, Kirkuk, and surounds. Infact the terrorist group PKK has been found to carry American weaponry when they have been uprooted or killed by the Turkish Army - and this has caused a rift amongst the Turkish Army and the States. It is a known fact (not a theory), that American CIA and other entities - as well as MOSAD help train the PKK and arm them to fight against the Turkish nation. This is not about some freedom from tryanny, but rather communists and others who have come together in order to gain some 'leadership'. I bare no hatred towards the Kurdish people, because my father is Kurdish and mother Turkish. Yes the Kurdish people have been neglected for some 80+ years, but again this is due to complicated scenarios (a revolt by a Kurdish leader during the end of the Ottoman and the beginnings of the Turkish Jumhuriyyah (Republic of Turkey). The Kurdish scholar Said Nursi also requested that a University be built in the East of Turkey - however Ataturk and people who came after him dedicated much of their efforts towards Istanbul and the West. The PKK has a large proportion of Armenians within this terrorist organisation - and it is one would believe, all used for the Greater -Middle East Project- known in Turkish as the Orta Dogu Projesi - which is basically a project to reshape the Middle East. The Iraq war is the primary step in this project, and the division of Turkey, or Iran and Iraq will follow - unless Muslim nations act with care and forward planning. Your thoughts may be good in nature, however if we look at the States, why doesn't the US give a whole chunk of land to the native American Indian's? Or the Australians, why do they not give say 20% of their land to the Aboriginees who have lived here for over 40,000 years?!!! It's not a simple issue akhi, and the Kurds are not one uniform group - you have the Shafi'ee Muslim Kurds, the communists, the atheists, the Christians, and those who are Armenian in background also as well as the 'Alawi Kurds - so live and let live is nice in theory, but in reality only plays in favour of the New World Order which the West and the Zionists want - and the Middle East Project is nothing but the preparing of the land from the Nile to the Euphrates (which includes Turkey and Kurdistan and Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan) - for the coming of the Dajjalic army and for Dajjal also. May Allah unite the hearts of the Muslimeen and allow us to have wisdom in our affairs. They have divided us enough - the lines which they drew out for the 'countries' have caused enough nationalism amongst us - We don't need more borders - but less borders and more Muhabbah and love amongst the various Muslim ethnicities. Fi Amanillah Abu Khadijah [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Folks Once, partners in life, brought together by circumstances other than their own free will, decide that time has come to separate, it is logical to do so amicably for the good of all parties concerned as that is the mature, humane and civilised way. KURDS believe that they are of different ethnic composition and rightly so, a large community and in spite of the fact that they are Muslims, there is no reason to hold them bound to a marriage that brings misery to the whole region. Unpalatable as it may seem to the States involved, a federation of Muslim States in the region looks like the best solution-- live and let live.

Is that legal? --- >From the Los Angeles Times CAMPAIGN '08Bill Clinton, China linked via his foundation A firm that has donated to the president's charity is accused of collaborating with the government in its crackdown on Tibetan activists. Hillary Clinton has spoken out against China's actions. By Stephen Braun Los Angeles Times Staff Writer April 13, 2008 NEW YORK As Chinese authorities have clamped down on unrest in Tibet and jailed dissidents in advance of the 2008 Olympics, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken a strong public stance, calling for restraint in Tibet and urging President Bush to boycott the Olympics opening ceremonies in Beijing. But her recent stern comments on China's internal crackdown collide with former President Bill Clinton's fundraising relationship with a Chinese Internet company accused of collaborating with the mainland government's censorship of the Web. Last month, the firm, Alibaba Inc., carried a government-issued "most wanted" posting on its Yahoo China homepage, urging viewers to provide information on Tibetan activists suspected of stirring recent riots. Alibaba, which took over Yahoo's China operation in 2005 as part of a billion-dollar deal with the U.S.-based search engine, arranged for the former president to speak to a conference of Internet executives in Hangzhou in September 2005. Instead of taking his standard speaking fees, which have ranged from $100,000 to $400,000, Clinton accepted an unspecified private donation from Alibaba to his international charity, the William J.

Bismillah [IslamCity] The True Confessions of a Conspiracy Theorist
Monsters do exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, those functionaries willing to think and to act without asking questions. Primo Levi Paranoia is having all the facts William Burroughs Because I have a tendency to turn a normal conversation into a tempestuous discourse about world politics, trade agreements, and/or the sinister connotations of the plentiful number of shampoo choices at the drugstore, I have provoked the ire of many. I frolic merrily in the meadows of verbal troublemaking; I linger dangerously in the undulating hills of social banishment. However, I have discovered that during my long career as a hapless instigator, I have never unintentionally aroused more hot temper than concerning the issue of sports in the mainstream media. Yes, its true. You can question a persons politics, his economic preferences, his favourite tyrannical dictators (Suave Stalin? Marvellous Mao? Irresistible Idi?), or even his mothers biryani, and he will calmly weather it all. But say one challenging word against sporting establishments such as the NHL, the NFL, or the Champions League, and by Gretzkys stick, youve had it. Once, I distinctly remember telling someone that televised sports are part and parcel of the entertainment monolith that seeks to distract people from the reality of the global situation. They say that the pen is mightier than the sword, but I really do believe that the television screen could blow them both out of the water faster than you could say Holy mind control Batman! Seen in this way, the NBA is really no different from Entertainment Tonight: both enterprises are highly successful in pumping us full of pointless facts (Britney Spears second marriage or Michael Jordan's umpteenth retirement announcement) that have no direct effect on our lives. Well, you can imagine the uproar that caused: If you think that the NBA is run by the Freemasons, youre totally crazy! I completely understand why the majority of people get defensive when the world of organized sports is called into question. Its the one area where the public is given almost full disclosure, in terms of history, ownership, and motives, amongst other information. It is the one area that you feel is really yours, conversing for hours on end and sounding like an expert. Even I have to admit that such talk is, at times, impressive. It sounds cool: 21 Kobe drops 45 for the double U! Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that playing the game itself would be more rewarding in terms of physical renewal than constantly talking about it. Can you imagine such zeal surrounding discussions on the Central American Free Trade Agreement or the detrimental effect of Export Processing zones on the infant economies of the Third World? I think not. Its kind of hard to argue the fact that this stuff is distracting. The question is, then, is it distracting on purpose? It is mildly irritating to be lumped into the crazy conspiracy theorist category; thrown in with the bitter hordes who blame America for everything, or the muttering, obsessive compulsives who hold Freemasonry as the fount of all evil. Id rather be categorized as an over analytical, couchjumping crazy, however, than be among the free citizenry who might as well walk around in In CNN We Trust bandanas. Are the masses willing to turn a blind eye to the obvious bias and overt political agenda present in publications such as Time Magazine? I challenge people to whip out their red markers the next time they pick up an issue, and critically evaluate what they are reading. There are, of course, the standard articles about terrorists and homeland security and the stale justifications for war. Look closer, and one begins to see the surreptitious, seemingly by the way references to terrorism and the global Islamist threat in innocuous articles about cutting edge gardening implements. Is this unbiased, professional journalism or fear mongering for the promotion of an alternate political agenda? People enjoy reading about Freemasonry, the interesting markings on dollar bills, countless conspiracy theories, because they have all the titillating accouterments of mystery, of exclusivity, of being in on a great secret. One gets a sense of having discovered something, of being privy to confidential information, of standing out in the crowd of pitiless fools who arent aware of the significance of the pyramids on American currency. It does not help that we have a youth culture which fosters sensationalism and quick fixes, rather than one that would encourage sound reasoning, critical thinking, and the development of a sturdy intellect. Perhaps this would also explain the unfortunate proliferation of what I like to call The Wikipedia Happy School of Pseudo-Intellectualism. In a culture where it is cool to be calculatedly differ

Bismillah [IslamCity] UAE and Qatar may drop dollar peg in six months
UAE and Qatar may drop dollar peg in six months (Bloomberg) 9 November 2007 DUBAI - The United Arab Emirates or Qatar may drop their currencies' pegs to the dollar within six months as inflationary pressures outweigh the benefits of maintaining the links, Merrill Lynch & Co said. "We believe there is a significant risk of a change in the policy regimes of either the UAE or Qatar in the coming six months," Merrill Lynch said in a research note published yesterday. "Speculation pressure on other members of the GCC will remain and we expect Kuwait to maintain constant appreciation against the dollar." Kuwait dropped the dinar's peg to the dollar May 20, citing inflationary pressure from European imports, prompting speculation that its Gulf Arab neighbours including Saudi Arabia and the UAE might follow. The Saudi riyal has been trading near 20-year highs since Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain chose not to follow the Federal Reserve's half-point rate cut. The central bank governors of Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have all said a number of times since May that they have no plans to drop their currencies' pegs to the dollar. UAE Central Bank Governor Sultan bin Nasser Al Suwaidi said repeatedly that any change will be coordinated with other Gulf states. All six of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries followed the Fed's quarter-point cut on October 31. Reducing interest rates is inflationary at a time when the Gulf states are battling to control price increases as their economies boom on record oil prices. Saudi inflation: Saudi Arabia's inflation rate in September rose to 4.9 per cent, its highest in at least five years. Saudi central bank Governor Hamad Saud Al Sayari said yesterday that accelerating consumer price growth is the "biggest challenge" facing the economy. Inflation rose to a record 9.3 per cent in the UAE last year, while in Qatar price growth slowed to 12.8 per cent in the second quarter from 14.8 percent in the first quarter. "Attempting to control inflation through monetary policy at the same time as retaining currency stability is not sustainable in the long-term," Merrill Lynch said in yesterday's note. "If there are higher interest rates in the pegged country then speculative funds will flow in as an attempt to arbitrage the difference." http://www.islamicity.com/m/news_frame.asp?Frame=1&referenceID=34650

Bismillah [IslamCity] Why The Jews Were Cursed Courtesy:http://islamicawakening.com/viewarticle.php?articleID=636
Why The Jews Were Cursed Muhammad ash-Shareef Article ID: 636 | 3521 Reads Rasul Allah's wife, Umm Al-Mu'mineen Safiyyah bint Huyayy - radi'Allahu 'anha - was the daughter of one of the Jewish leaders of Madinah. After her Islam, she informed the Prophet - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - when she had first felt the rays of Islam enter her blessed heart. It was the day that Anas - radi Allahu 'anhu - describes as the most radiant day to every come upon al-Madinah - the day Rasul Allah - salAllahu alayhi wa sallam - entered it. All the Ansar men, women and children gathered to greet him, cheers of praise to Allah filled the air. Amongst the gathering were 2 men; as much as the Ansar and Muhaajireen revered the Prophet, they despised him. It was the father of Safiyyah - radi Allahu 'anha - and her uncle. She was only a youngster as she looked into the darkness and gloom that had enveloped their faces when they returned home that day. Her Jewish uncle 1400 years ago asked, "Is it him? Is it the Prophet that our scriptures speak of?" Huyayy lowered his head and said, "Yes. It is him." "Then what shall we do?" Safiyyah's uncle continued. Huyayy looked into his eyes, "Till the final day we shall be his bitterest enemies!" >From the very first raka'ah of Taraweeh we read the verse in the opening >Surah: [Guide us to the straight path - The path of those upon whom You have >bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked (Your) anger!..] Adiyy ibn Hatim asked Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - who it was that evoked Allah's anger? He said, "It was the Jews" - Tafseer Ibn Katheer When I was in high school, studying in journalism class, our teacher had placed on the wall a statement that I spent many days contemplating. It simply said, "Freedom of the press (speech) belongs to those that own the press!" Who owns the press? Well, you can believe me when I say that it is not the god fearing beloved of Allah. It is this same press that molds and programs the aqeedah of a huge section of our Ummah. Many of our brothers and sisters are illiterate to the words of Allah and the guidance of Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, so it is with little doubt that their ideas are subconsciously molded by what Seinfeld tells them at 8 pm every Wednesday evening. It is this same brother or sister that asks the question, "I don't understand why the Jews were cursed. Seinfeld is funny. What did he do?" This khutbah is our media and in sha' Allah we shall learn in these few moments only samples of what carried the Jews to evoke Allah's anger. In the opening verses of Surat Al-Baqarah, Allah invites the Children of Isra'eel to come back - to remember the favor and blessing He bestowed upon them - and to fulfill the promise that they would follow the Prophet when he was sent to them. [O Children of Israel, remember My favor that I bestowed upon you and fulfill My covenant upon you that I will fulfill your convenant (from Me) and fear only Me.] - Surah al-Baqarah 2/40 Allah saved them of their slavery to Fir'own, he saved them from sea and drowned Fir'own and his army. Allah selected them to receive food from the sky. Allah sent them Prophet after Prophet from amongst themselves, and sent the Holy scriptures - the Towrah and the Injeel. Allah preferred them over all others at their time. [ ...And that I preferred you over the worlds (i.e. people).] - Surah al-Baqarah 2/47 How did they reply these Blessings of Allah? (i) They Followed Only What They Wanted to When a Prophet came to them, if what he taught did not appeal to them they either rejected that truth or slit the throat of the Prophet and followed what was to them appealing. [We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a groups (of the Messengers) they denied and another party they killed.] - al Maa'idah 5/70 And we must remember here that this is not the commentary of some human journalist who claims to be neutral. This is the Lord of the Universe telling us - in verses to be read till the final day - the deepest secrets that lie in the pits of Judaism. [And who is more truthful than Allah in statement!] - al Nisaa' 4/87 (ii) They Changed the Words of Allah There was groups of Jews that would change the words of Allah - adding something here, deleting there - to pound the truth and keep the flock in servitude to what they desired. [And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah. A
