Gazza is not the solution ,
nor is Gazza the problem , today nor ever.
 
 


Gazza is simply today's Chosen-Victim
because they are all Palestinians
because they are Arabs
because they said ''No'' to Zionism
 
 
 
 
On a bicycle,  you could cross Gazza
from South to North ,in 3 hours,only
and from East to the sea (west) in 25 minutes.
 
In a Helicopter ,
once you rise up to 150 meters
you can see the other end of Gazza.
 
 
Gazza is the biggest-starved- prison
in the World
and thus it could never be a threat  to anyone.
Except , being a threat to the human-consciences.
 
 
Israel is not re-invading Gazza
''for its own safety''
but rather , it does it again
just to delay any future-Peace- settlement
for another decade.
Or even just to delay
any future-peace- negotiations
for another decade.
 
 
Israel is only buying for itself time,
in the absence any future prospects.
because,
the state of Israel has burned out !!
and Gazza pays now the price .

Bismillah [IslamCity] Dua in distress

2009-01-09 Thread ***hajikhan***
  

 
Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam)
used to say when he was in distress:
 
La ilaha illallahul-Azimul-Halim.
La ilaha illallahu Rabbul-`Arshil-`Azim.
La ilaha illallahu Rabbus-samawati,
wa Rabbul-ardi, wa Rabbul-`Arshil-Karim.
 

 

(None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Incomparably Great,
the Compassionate. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Rubb
of the Mighty Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah the Rubb
of the heavens, the Rubb of the earth, and the Rubb of the Honourable Throne).''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
 
Commentary: The only medicine in a time of distress is the remembrance of Allah
Whose Help alone should be sought. This Du`a contains words which glorify Allah 
and
exalt Him far above all else. It is desirable to recite these words when one is 
in distress
as this is exactly what the Prophet (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) 
used to recite
in such situations.

The media reports are blaming Hamas for starting the war!  These statements 
echo the past of others who tried to subjugate a community of people such as 
South Africa (of the past) or slavery in the New World.
 
Who cares who started this!  The reports that we are getting from US news is 
that the Israelis want to weaken Hamas which means that murder is not an 
alternative--it is a stated act that is now occurring even at the cost of our 
mothers, sisters and children. 
 
Muslimeem, what we are all witnessing is the mass murder of Gazans by 
Israelis!  This situation will be no different from the ethnic cleansing that 
occurred in Yugoslavia!  There has to be a resolution that will prevent more of 
our brothers, mothers, sisters and children from being murdered by these wicked 
jews and those nations that support them!
 
Please do not buy anything that is made by Israelis or the US (who has aided

 Taasoo'aa' is the ninth day of Muharram = Monday, January 5, 2009

 'Aashooraa' is the tenth day of Muharram = Tuesday, January 6, 2009

  Abu Hurayrah (radhi-yAllaahu 'anhu) said: The Messenger of Allaah 
 (sal-Allaahu
 'alayhe wa sallam) said: The best of fasting after Ramadhaan is fasting
 Allaah's month of Muharram. *(**Muslim)*

 Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: **The Prophet (peace
 and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to Madeenah and saw the Jews
 fasting on the day of 'Aashooraa'. He said, 'What is this?' They said, 'This
 is a righteous day, it is the day when Allaah saved the Children of Israel
 from their enemies, so Moosa fasted on this day.' He said, 'We have more
 right to Moosa than you,' so he fasted on that day and commanded [the
 Muslims] to fast on that day. *(Reported by al-Bukhaari, 1865)** *

 Ibn 'Abbaas, said: *'*The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
 Allaah be upon him) commanded us to fast 'Aashooraa', the tenth day of
 Muharram.* Reported by al-Tirmidhi, who said, a saheeh hasan hadeeth*

 salaah, and fasting in Ramadaan, on the day of 'Arafaah and on 'Aashooraa'
 expiate for minor sins only. *al-Fataawa al-Kubra, part 5*

 Imaam al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It expiates for all
 minor sins, i.e., it brings forgiveness of all sins except major sins.Then 
 he said (may
 Allaah have mercy on him): Fasting the day of 'Arafaah expiates for two
 years, and the day of 'Aashooraa' expiates for one year. If when a person
 says 'Aameen' it coincides with the 'Aameen' of the angels, he will be
 forgiven all his previous sins… Each one of the things that we have
 mentioned will bring expiation. If there are minor sins for which expiation
 is needed, expiation for them will be accepted; if there are no minor sins
 or major sins, good deeds will be added to his account and he will be raised
 in status… If he had committed major sins but no minor sins, we hope that
 his major sins will be reduced. *(al-Majmoo' Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, part 6,

 What is obligatory upon the Muslim to do on the day of 'Aashooraa.. (tenth
 day of Muharram), and is Zakaat al-Fitr obligatory (on that day)?

 *Response:*

 It is legislated for the Muslim to fast on the day of 'Aashooraa., for that
 which has been confirmed that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa 
 sallam)ordered fasting on (the day of) 'Aashooraa., however, when (the 
 fasting of)
 Ramadhaan was obligated, whoever preferred to fast ('Aashooraa.) did so and
 whoever preferred not to (do so) did not. And there is no Zakaat al-Fitr (to
 be paid) on the day of 'Aashooraa. as there is on `Eed al-Fitr after the
 month of Ramadhaan.



 And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and

Bismillah [IslamCity] Why is Barack Obama Silent?

2009-01-09 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq
I'm wondering... .
 
Why is President-elect Barack Obama suddenly so silent? He spoke out and acted 
swiftly regarding the financial crisis, then later the automakers' crisis.  Is 
it that this great humanitarian crisis, the genocide of Palestinians, does not 
qualify in his mind (and heart) as a great crisis?  Is bailing out the Wall 
Street financiers and car manufacturers more important than aiding the 
collective suffering of innocent men, women, and children?  Is speaking out 
against crimes that are committed against humanity less important?  I'm 
wondering.
 
His silence makes him complicit with the execution of this vicious military 
campaign and the massacre of defenseless civilians in Gaza using US taxpayers' 
dollars.  Obama has surrounded himself with Israeli loyalists and has pledged 
his support for Israel.  His chosen vice president, Joe Biden, has openly 
claimed, I am a Zionist (smiling). You don't have to be a Jew to be a 
Zionist. Unfortunately, he has surrounded himself with others like Biden who 
are pro-war and pro-Israel loyalists (Rahm, Clinton, Axelrod, etc...the list is 
long).  They have unrelenting support for Israeli causes, including and most 
likely the massacre in Gaza.  Obama has not picked one moderate or someone who 
is against war from amongst his fellow Congressmen/ women yet. This article, 
Barack Obama: “America’s First Jewish President”, by Professor James Petras 
addresses these facts. 
 
I'm also wondering...
 
Thinking back, I now reflect on what Biden said (and what he meant) when he 
made comments on the campaign trial.  Did he already know something back in 
October?  Could his comments be related to having prior knowledge of the 
current war in Gaza, which according to Ha'aertz was planned six months ago?  
Here are Biden's words: 
Mark my words: It will not be six months before the world tests Barack 
Obama,  The world is looking. We're going to have an international crisis to 
test the mettle of this guy. I guarantee you it's gonna happen.
 
These are comments from a talk Biden gave to campaign contributors at Seattle's 
Sheraton Hotel on Oct. 19, 2008.  Here is more of what he said: 
 
Barack is the right guy at the right moment for this job, .. 
Barack gets it...And I'll tell you why I'm telling you this: because we're 
going to find ourselves in real trouble when we get elected...We' re gonna have 
the largest systemic deficit in modern – not modern – in the history of the 
world...So there are going to be a lot of tough decisions Barack's gonna have 
to make, a lot of very tough decisions, including on foreign policy. And here's 
the point I want to make: mark my words. Mark my words. It will not be six 
months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The 
world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old president of the 
United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't 
remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, 
a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy...we're gonna need you to 
use your influence, your influence in the community, to stand with him. Because 
it's not gonna be apparent
 initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right. Because all these 
decisions, all these decisions, once they're made if they work, then they 
weren't viewed as a crisis. If they don't work, it's viewed as you didn't make 
the right decision, a little bit like how we hesitated so long dealing with 
Bosnia and with Kosovo, and as a consequence 200,000 people lost their lives 
that maybe didn't have to lose lives. It's how we made a mistake in Iraq. We 
made a mistake in Somalia. So there's gonna be some tough decisions.. ..
Considered a major gaffe on the campaign trail, Obama later called Biden's 
comments rhetorical flourishes.  After watching the video, reading Obama's 
body language, and listening to his comments,  I wonder if he was being sincere 
then, and is only now being blindsided and speechless, or was he just being 
glibberish at the time?  Perhaps the culmination of this terrible war against 
the Palestinian civilians, who have been imprisoned and systematically 
assaulted within closed borders, is the international crisis that Biden and 
others knew about, but kept away from the presidential hopeful.  I 
wonder.  Regardless, one of the worst things is that the American government 
has supplied the Israeli military with the bombs that are be used to kill our 
Palestinian brothers and sisters.  These bombs are paid for using US taxpayer 
dollars, while most taxpaying folk are unaware, and our President-elect, who 
surely knows, has nothing to say publicly
 about it.    
 
OK, perhaps for the sake of rhetorical flourishing, Obama is waiting until he's 
inaugurated to speak out against Israeli crimes.  You know, once in office he 
will rise up and speak out against them, right?  Is this the politics of change 
he inspired millions to chant

Bismillah [IslamCity] As Gaza Burns..

2009-01-09 Thread Raisah Siddiki
Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuhu

When Israel launched massive air strikes against Gaza, starting December 27, 
which left behind hundreds of dead and hundreds more clinically dead and 
wounded, many myths chattered, and with them uncountable clichés and slogans 
that have for years occupied Palestine's political landscape. Hamas itself, out 
of desperation, perhaps, was involved in disseminating some of these myths.


Shortly after forming a Palestinian government in the Occupied Territories in 
March 2006, Hamas found itself facing the potential of a major international 
boycott, facilitated largely by the United States, at the behest of Israel. The 
Hamas response to the threats of isolation, boycott, and subsequent siege was a 
self-assured strategy centered around the idea that the Oslo peace ventures had 
denied the Palestinian struggle its strategic depth, namely appealing to and 
engaging Arab and Muslim nations. Various Hamas political leaders announced 
their government's intentions of reversing what they considered a 
self-defeating path taken by their predecessors who insisted on pivotal US 
involvement in the peace process, despite Washington's unmistakable bias and 
unconditional support of Israel.


Arab and Muslim Brothers


Even before the Hamas government was formally announced in Gaza, the Islamic 
movement's representatives took their case to Arab and Muslim countries, hoping 
to secure enough backing that would render any future Western boycott 
ineffectual. On their hectic tours in the Middle East, South East Asia, and 
Africa, Hamas officials received many verbal pronouncements of support, some 
timid, others passionate and promising.


But when Israel and the United States began to carry out a systematic campaign 
of boycott, which morphed into a lethal siege against the Palestinian 
population of Gaza, Hamas began realizing the mistake of overstating the 
significance of the largely symbolic support they obtained in previous months.


As Israel upgraded its siege in the following months, reaching the point of 
denying the Gaza Strip the most basic necessities, and as weary Gazans found 
themselves without electricity, little food and medicine, and flooded with 
sewage water, the Hamas government renewed its call on their Arab and Muslim 
brothers to come to the rescue, but, once again, to no avail.

In June 2007, Hamas and Fateh predictably clashed. Their confrontation was 
brewing for years, and — aside from the Saudi initiative — little genuine 
efforts at reconciliation were made to prevent an all out conflict. However, 
when both forces collided in Gaza, and an immediate compromise seemed 
unfeasible, some Arab governments began to routinely call on Palestinians to 
unify their ranks.


Those same governments were actively engaging one party, Fateh, and completely 
dismissing the other. As Fateh received the accolades of political validation, 
military training, and so on, Hamas representatives were shunned, as their 
deposed government, along with 1.5 million Palestinians were locked up behind 
Israeli walls, trenches, but also Egyptian fences.


Locked Up Behind Walls  Fences


Since then, the situation in Gaza grew more dire, but also more confusing. If 
one watches Arab media, or listens to fiery comments made by Arab officials, 
one will easily reach a definite conclusion: The Arabs, both governments and 
peoples, are greatly irked by Palestinian divisions, and deeply disheartened by 
the humanitarian crisis underway in Gaza, one they would decisively and 
enthusiastically describe as a crime against humanity, genocide, or even a 
Holocaust.

Even international and UN human rights observers have used every loaded, yet 
applicable term to underscore the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. That too 
achieved little, save the garnering of much deserved sympathy to a persecuted 
civilian population for simply exercising their democratic right to vote.


But what makes the official Arab criticism of the Israeli siege peculiar and 
highly confusing to some is the fact that some Arab countries are themselves 
involved in maintaining the siege on Gaza. Egypt shares a border with the Gaza 
Strip that is not interrupted by any Israeli military presence. The border is 
sealed almost all the time, forcing Gazans to dig tunnels which now represent 
the only lifeline that keeps Gaza's malnourished population, more or less, 
alive.


On a recent visit to Cairo, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who will be 
leading the center-right Kadima party in Israel's February elections, promised 
to end the Hamas rule in Gaza. Enough is enough she replied to an Egyptian 
request to use restraint in dealing with the impoverished Strip. Israel 
didn't heed Egypt's call for restraint as it carried out a massive onslaught 
that turned the open-air prison into a massive graveyard. Prior to the attack, 
Egypt reportedly tightened its border security, fearing that desperate Gazans 
might flee

World Should Finally Decide The Fate Of Israel


Tens of thousands of Israeli troops backed by tanks battled Hamas fighters in 
Gaza fields and roads yesterday as the Palestinian death toll from the 
offensive to end militant rocket attacks passed 500, including 87 children. 
Israeli forces surrounded the enclave's main city and families fled other 
battlefield towns in packed trucks and cars to escape the biggest Israeli 
military operation since its 2006 war in Lebanon.More than 45 Palestinians were 
killed by tank shells or missiles fired from warplanes since the ground 
offensive was launched on Saturday night, Gaza medics said. Israeli troops 
pushed deep into Gaza yesterday with thousands of soldiers and scores of tanks 
battling Hamas fighters and moving toward the capital on a mission to end 
militant rocket attacks.International efforts to halt the conflict floundered. 
The UN Security Council failed even to agree the wording of a statement on the 
conflict, with the United States giving strong backing to Israel while other 
powers criticised the offensive.The Security Council late Saturday failed to 
agree on a statement calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after 
the United States had argued a return to the situation that existed before 
Israel's ground invasion was unacceptable.

.

Israel unleashed Operation Cast Lead on December 27 with the declared aim of 
ending rocket attacks into Israel from the territory, which had been under 
tight Israeli blockade for more than 18 months. The rocket attacks had resumed 
after the end of a six month truce.Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum said in a 
statement that what is happening in the Security Council is a farce that shows 
the level that America and the Zionist occupier dominates its decisions.The 
deputy US ambassador to the United Nations, Alejandro Wolff, said after the 
talks that Washington believed it was crucial not to return to the status quo 
that had allowed Hamas to fire rockets into Israel.The efforts we are making 
internationally are designed to establish a sustainable, durable ceasefire 
that's respected by all, French President Nicolas Sarkozy was due in Israel on 
Monday for talks on a ceasefire with Olmert in Jerusalem and Abbas in 
Ramallah.France condemns the Israeli ground offensive against Gaza just as it 
condemns the continuing firing of rockets, Kouchner said in a statement.

We feel that negotiation on OSLO pattern would not bring any solution. Israel 
is there for now Sixty years , it is in occupation of more than what was 
alloted to them by the partisan security council. They also occupied the rest 
of Palestine 1967 and thereafter forty years have passed without any solution 
and time has been lost  in the name of negotiation and two state 
formula.Negotiation can never bring solution with such immoral and unscruplous 
entity .Clearly the UN can not solve this problem because of USA and its veto, 
the US has dedicated itself to its God Israel.No explanation is required to 
explain this phenomenon.



Real solution is forcing the European immigrants to Israel to go back to Europe 
or their  client state USA and building a new Palestine state with the original 
inhabitants and their progeny.After sixty years of experience, we have no 
sympathy for Israel. Arab Muslim states should cut their relation with Israel 
and devise new strategy for deiving out the Zionists and  illegal  immigrants 
and establising the new state of Palestine.

Depleted uranium found in Gaza victims

Medics tell Press TV they have found traces of depleted uranium in some Gazan 
residents wounded in Israel's ground offensive into the strip. 

Norwegian medics told Press TV correspondent Akram al-Sattari that some of the 
victims who have been wounded since Israel began its attacks on the Gaza Strip 
on December 27 have traces of depleted uranium in their bodies. 

The report comes after Israeli tanks and troops swept across the border into 
Gaza on Saturday night, opening a ground operation after eight days of 
intensive attacks by Israeli air and naval forces on the impoverished region. 

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned on Sunday that the wide-ranging 
ground offensive in the Gaza Strip would be full of surprises. 

A ground offensive in the densely-populated Gaza is expected to drastically 
increase the death toll of the civilian population. 

The latest assaults bring the number of Palestinians killed to over 488 with 
2790 others wounded. The UN says that about 25 percent of the casualties were 
civilian deaths - including at least 34 children. 

According to Israeli army officials, at least 30 of its soldiers have been 
wounded since the start of the ground campaign. 

Amid global condemnation of the ongoing violence in the region, the UN Security 
Council failed to agree on a united approach to resolve the crisis. 

 Once again, the world is watching in dismay the dysfunctionality of the 
Security Council, UN General Assembly chief Miguel d'Escoto said Sunday. 

According to diplomatic sources, the US blocked a Security Council resolution, 
with US Deputy Ambassador Alejandro Wolff arguing that an official statement 
that criticizes both Israel and Hamas would not be helpful. 
The White House has so far declined to comment on whether an Israeli ground 
incursion into Gaza is a justified measure.

Neocon Plans for Pakistan Exposed!


This is the Neocons plan to disassemble Pakistan, give northern Pakistan to 
Afghanistan, Southwest Pakistan to the Balochs… all this in an effort to 
restrict Chinese access to energy and herd energy resources towards Israel, the 
Mediterranean and Europe. Whatever happinging in NWFP and Baluchistan is part 
of this BIG game!
Until the US disavows the Neocon plan to achieve benevolent global hegemony 
—the benevolence of which has already caused the deaths of maybe a million 
people— I don't see how anyone in their right mind can expect Pakistan or any 
of the other proposed PNAC victims to cooperate in their own destruction. But 
unfortunately in Pakistan, some ignorant, selfish traitors have decided to 
facilitate this plan!

Bismillah [IslamCity] Egypt's soccer legend Aboutreika inspires Congolese to Islam

2009-01-09 Thread Dina Khattab
 * He who kneels before AlMighty Allah can stand before anyone.

Worship your Creator as if you see him, and although you don't see him, He
surely sees you.

Lift the hands and the faces towards the sky when performing du^a
(supplication), because the heavens are the qiblah( direction) of du^a just
as the Ka^bah is the qiblah of as­Salah(Namaaz). From the heavens, the
mercies and blessings of Allah descend.

Aboutreika inspires Congolese to Islam
*
Egypt's soccer legend Mohamed Aboutreika, also admired for his *piety and
good manners*, has never imagined that his match against Congo in the 2010
World Cup qualifiers would draw many Congolese to the fold of Islam.

*Many Congolese were curious to know why Aboutreika prostrated after he
scored,* Sheikh Abdulla Mingala Lwaba, the mufti of Congo, told
IslamOnline.net in an exclusive interview.

Aboutreika, nominated for the CAF African Footballer of the Year award in
2006 and running for the title this year, scored the winner goal in Egypt's
clash with Congo in the World Cup qualifier last September.

To the surprise of the thousands of Congolese fans, he immediately kneeled
to the ground before being joined by fellow teammates.
*Many fans came to us wondering why the Egyptian players did that,* said
Lwaba.

*We explained to them that the prostration was meant to thank God for his
blessings, an act encouraged by Islam, *he explained.
*Many of them developed a curiosity about Islam that eventually led them to
embracing the Muslim faith.
*
Aboutreika enjoys a huge popularity in Egypt, the Arab world and Africa for
his *amazing skills and good manners*.

He was named the* world's most popular soccer player in 2007*, according to
the International Federation of Football History  Statistics (IFFHS).

Envoy of Islam

The Congolese mufti describes Aboutreika and his like him as ambassadors of
Islam.

They are preachers of Islam, he told IOL.
Lwaba said many people look up to famous stars as role models.
*When a Muslim sets a good example in his work and actions, many follow
him. And when he abides by his religious values, he guides many people to
his faith*.

Born in 1978 in the city of Giza, Aboutreika led Egypt to win the African
Cup of Nations in 2006 and 2008, earning him the *Africa's Zinedine Zidane*
nickname.

He has also been dubbed *The Smiling Assassin* by foreign media because of
his two main trademarks: *goal-scoring and glamorous smiling*.

Off the pitch, Aboutreika is a player known for his good manners with a
personality as great as his silky skills.

In 2005, Aboutreika joined UNDP Goodwill Ambassadors Brazilian Ronaldo,
French Zidane and 40 other international soccer stars for a Match Against
Poverty.

His stardom increased across the Arab and Muslim worlds because of his
support of Muslims causes.

After scoring a goal during the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations, Aboutreika
revealed a T- shirt bearing the slogan *We Sacrifice Ourselves for You
Prophet Muhammad* in response to the blasphemous Danish cartoons.

He also made headlines in January of this year during Egypt's Africa Cup of
Nations match against Sudan, when he lifted his jersey after scoring his
first goal to show a white T-shirt emblazoned with Sympathize With Gaza.

Bismillah [IslamCity] An israeli civilian

 Defence
 Ministry



The spokeswoman of Israeli Ministry of defence
was explaining to  the BBC, why some civilians
in Gaza are being targeted ??
she said :
when those civilians are stoking in their home-cellars
rockets and missiles for Hamas, we cannot consider them
as being civilians anymore ..I am also a civilian and I do not
have missiles and rockets  hiding in home -cellar.. ..unquote


I saw this lady on the TV ,
(and not being myself a blind person) ,
I saw her wearing a  military-uniform ( of a Major)
while officially representing a ministry of defence.
And to be more
 precise , a ministry of defence
of an aggressing-country that did not do anything else
than aggression and occupation the last 60 years.


This lady claims now  to be now a civilian ,
and that , therefore , she has no missiles in her cellar at home
(because , most probably she has those missiles in her office).



The Conclusion :

an Israeli,  wearing his or her  military uniform
while being interviewed by TV cameras (and not by a radio)
and claiming that she or he
 is a civilian,   must be believed...!!!.

(Indeed , in that case , such a clown does really represent Israel !!)
