Advice of Bush to Obama,Jan,20, 09 * * * In you lies my hope, Oh brother Obama,! As my pious legacy, you must never forget; The laurels, I brought to our mighty nation, With the carnage of millions of Muslims. You are now succeeding to this glorious throne, I am sure, you will continue with my crusade; To quench my insatiable thirst for countless more, Till this Islamic creed is wiped out from the earth. Remember! keep these worthless feminine buffoons, Who are called as Muslim Kings, Princes and Heads; Within fetters, and under the command of your heels, But make them roaring lions for their own peoples. As a last word, I would advise you, my lovely friend,! Always be mindful of a Zaidi and his impious moves; Under the eclipse of time,our achievements may come, But his shoes will hang over America with eternal flame. * * * ** Dr. Mustafa Kamal Sherwani All India Muslim Forum Lucknow, U.P.

Asaalam Alykum, My dear sisters and brothers I wanted to take this opportunity to send you a message from the sisters in Gaza . Please hear our situation and tell everyone that you know and dont know. Our situation is dire but our eman is strong alhamdulillah, even though we have no water to speak of, and when we do it is polluted and we have no money to buy mineral water. When we find the money those that sell it say that it is too dangerous for them to travel out to get new supplies. We have no gas, and have not had for the last four months. We cook the little food we have on real fires that we have learned to prepare. Our men have lost all of their jobs. They spend their days at home now. My husband can spend a day just going from place to place just for the basic need of water. He usually returns empty handed. There are no schools, no banks, hardly any hospitals open. You are constantly aware that you risk your life when you go out and when you are indoors. They give us a curfew between 1-4pm. We can go out, they say, in safety to get your supplies, but that is a lie. They have ofetn used that opportnity to add more shuhada to their list. We eat one day rice and one day bread. Meat and milk are a luxury. They are using chemical warfare in the areas which are on the borders. All this and we are being told that people demonstrate all over the world. Masha Allah. the fact that you go to embassies and leave your homes makes us feel truely that we are not alone in our struggle. But you go home at night and lock your door. We cannot do that. I have to leave my home on the second floor every night and stay with my sister on the ground floor. Should there be an attack, it's quicker to leave from the ground floor. Yes we are tired. When we hear rockets and bombs and see planes that fly too close to our building, I scream with my young son and my husband feels helpless. In all this there is no one but Allah (swt) that can save us. But the ummah is asking where are the armies, where is the victory. Dont forget us because you are all that we have now. Your kind sadeqat is not reaching us, and when they open borders it only reaches a few. Keep up the work of Allah and pray that th victory will come soon insha Allah. Ws. Your sister umm Taqi. -- Note to self: If you do not loose your temper with any of your fellow creatures, you will be safe from the wrath of Allah on the Day of Judgment. [Ahmad]

Bismillah [IslamCity] GAZA: How Biased Media Manipulates the Facts
http://www.dailymuslims.com/print/1640.html GAZA: How Biased Media Manipulates the Facts YVONNE RIDLEY on 09 January, 2009 10:18:00 | 124 times read THE media coverage of the war in Gaza by Western television companies is largely unfair and biased because of a refusal to show viewers the real images of the victims. One of the reasons for this is Israel's decision not to allow the Western media in to Gaza. In addition to this outrageous censorship by a so-called democracy, we get the usual arguments that most of the images shown by the Arab media are too shocking to show the viewing public in the West. Admittedly, the horrific clip sent to me of a child's head lying detached, among debris in Gaza did make me gasp. But this is war and this is real and if the Western media did show these sort of images may be the general public would wake up to the full horrors of what happens when bombs are dropped on civilian populations. There is no such reticence in the Arab media which is why more people with satellites are switching on to television from the Middle East to watch the unfolding genocide in Gaza. And one rising media star is the fledgling Press TV, broadcast from Iran, and recently introduced to the Sky platform 515. It is fast becoming the first station of choice for the viewing public - especially the English-speaking across Europe - who simply want the truth, no matter who shocking or unpalatable it may be. There are around half a dozen Palestinian journalists on the ground with Press TV crews revealing the full horrors of the war as20it unfolds. I am amazed by their dedication and courage and I salute each and every one of them ... some are my personal friends. Yes, I do present a show for20the station, but I have also worked as a journalist for more than three decades covering conflicts and their aftermaths from The Falklands, first and second Gulf wars, the Irish Troubles, as well as Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq for a variety of print and electronic media. And one thing common in each conflict is the constant battle by journalists and war correspondents to get to the truth of the matter, but the battle to tell the truth is becoming more and more difficult despite the amazing technology now available. People in powerful places who do terrible things do not want the truth to get out, which is why journalists are finding themselves banned or censored more and more. You see the truth is a very strong and influential weapon which can be used against those people. Sadly when it is twisted and manipulated it can wreak even more havoc. The Israeli war machine is master full in its complete distortion of the truth which is why the state continues to go unpunished for its failure to adhere to the Geneva convention concerning the collective punishment of the citizens of Gaza. Israeli tactics are cruel, malicious and demonstrate that its leaders are not interested in the peace process or a Palestinian State. They are creating the ideal breeding ground for extremism, sabotaging peace efforts and squandering the good will they have been given. Five years ago, the Bush administration lied about weapons of mass destruction ... it was a lie eagerly repeated by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to fool the media into supporting an illegal, immoral invasion of Iraq. And it worked. To their eternal shame, most of the western media fell in line and swallowed the lie - with the exception of a few journalists most have kept quiet about this collective cock up. The New York Times did issue a front page apology later, but the damage had been done and public perception was difficult to change. Sadly, many of the same news organisations and the same journalists have learned nothing from that shameful period. At the beginning of this war, Israel trotted out only the flimsy excuse of the Hamas rockets as justification for unleashing its brand of Shock and Awe in Gaza. Hamas rockets have killed just over 20 Israelis since 2001 whereas Israel's war on Gaza has killed more than 700 including more than 200 children in the last 13 days. The seriously maimed and injured is running in to thousands as I write. But the 'Hamas rocket' excuse went unchallenged in the West, although to its full credit the Israeli media revealed20days later that Operation Cast Lead was a long-planned campaign six months in the making aimed at crushing democratically elected Hamas. Yes, I admit the rockets do exist but they are nothing more than metal barrels of junk fuelled by fertiliser. As one colleague remarked they're mere slingshots compared to the shells, million dollar missiles and bunker-busting bombs used by Israel. Some argue the Qassam rockets are used out of desperation, I personally think they're more of a two-fingered gesture from a people who have suffered a brutal, medieval siege at the hands of Israel for years. Despite its amazing war machine, and its

Angles Descend upon persons who are trying to becomes Pious. by Mufti Rashid Ahmed Ludihanvi http://www.khanqah.com/articles/misc_eden_of_heart.htm The faith of Muslims is so strong that if the whole world unites to destabilize it, even then they can't do so. The angles decent on them (from time to time):fear you not! (they suggest), Nor Grieve! But receive the glad tidings of the garden (of bliss) the which you were promised! When does this happens? Some interpreters said that it will happen in JANNAT and some said at the time of death the reality is that it will happen in life before death, when a fellow becomes a true and an obedient one and why should it not happen? The whole world calls him mad insane. The relatives even the parents the parents oppose him. This slave of ALLAH TAALA replies to their criticisms. If the whole human race becomes angry with me, I don't care, the consent of the beloved matters. It is enough if one consider His concords first and then decide what he should do and what he shouldn't. If the whole world is against, it doesn't matter, it is fine if the LORD (ALLAH TAALA ) is pleased, how much courage is produced? If angles did not support his heart then how could this be possible. As the angels reinforced the SAHABAH-E-KARAM in the field of Badar where HAZOOR-E-AKRAM was also present. At first Allah Taala reinforced the SAHABAS by thousand angles. Then it was increased to three thousand and finally up to five thousand. Though only one angle was sufficient. He would have destroyed the whole army, as the nation before were destroyed and ruined; HAZRAT GIBRAIL, alaihissalam, once lifted up the whole village and while turning it up side down threw it back. When one angle has so much of strength then you can imagine the strength of thousand of angles. These thousand of angle were sent in honor of the SAHABHS other wise there wasn't a need for such many. The point to think here is, the group of SAHABAHS were the most favorite of ALLAH TALLA, The whole nation (UMMAH) stands no where in comparison with them. Secondly ALLAH's prophet HAZRAT MOHAMMAD MUSTAFA was also present with them, even ALLAH TAALA made to descend thousands of angles. Now when fourteen hundred years have passed, a Muslim who is weak and feeble, and considering his remoteness from HAZOOR-E-AKRAM's time what do you think? Will ALLAH TAALA leave him alone? Not at all. This is just abusrd. This Muslim is very feeble and more deserving for ALLAH's mercy. If then five thousand angle descended then today twenty thousand are required to descend instead they are being descended. If it wasn't so then how was it possible that such courage was generated in the hearts of Muslims. How could he face bare handed the battalions of the Satan. It's for sure! ALLAH's invisible help is accompanying him, the angels are descending upon him and are helping to build up the courage. Prayer. May ALLAH TAALA make all of us His real true fellow creature. Make us true and strong Muslims. Give us the courage and the passion to think for the world here after . In last repeat the invocation again.

Bismillah [IslamCity] US sends tons of arms to Israel, ignores 820 Gazans killed
US seeks to send tons of arms to Israel, ignores 820 Gazans killed The U.S. is seeking to hire a merchant ship to deliver hundreds of tons of arms to Israel from Greece later this month, tender documents seen by Reuters show. Israel launched on December 27 a military offensive in Gaza, killing at least 820 Palestinians, a third children. The U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC) said the ship was to carry 325 standard 20-foot containers of what is listed as ammunition on two separate journeys from the Greek port of Astakos to the Israeli port of Ashdod in mid-to-late January. A hazardous material designation on the manifest mentions explosive substances and detonators, but no other details were given. Shipping 3,000-odd tons of ammunition in one go is a lot, one broker said, on condition of anonymity. This (kind of request) is pretty rare and we haven't seen much of it quoted in the market over the years, he added. The U.S. Defense Department, contacted by Reuters on Friday in Washington, had no immediate comment. The MSC transports armor and military supplies for the U.S. armed forces aboard its own fleet, but regularly hires merchant ships if logistics so require. The request for the ship was made on Dec. 31, with the first leg of the charter to arrive no later than January 25 and the second at the end of the month. The tender for the vessel follows the hiring of a commercial ship to carry a much larger consignment of ordnance in December from the United States to Israel ahead of air strikes in the Gaza Strip. A German shipping firm which won that tender confirmed the order when contacted by Reuters but declined to comment further. Israel violated six-month ceasefire, bombing Gaza on November 4 and killing six Palestinians. Israel killed on November 17 four more Gazans before Hamas declared the ending the ceasefire. More than 250 children have been killed in the Gaza fighting, according to the UN. Children make up more than half of the crowded region's 1.4 million population and are the most defenseless victims of the war. U.N. calls for probe Navi Pillay, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, also said that U.N. human rights monitors must be deployed in Israel as well as Gaza and the West Bank to document violations and their perpetrators. The vicious cycle of provocation and retribution must be brought to an end, she said. Pillay was addressing a special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council a day after the Security Council adopted a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the 14-day-old bombardment and a withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. Accountability must be ensured for violations of international law. As a first step, credible, independent and transparent investigations must be carried out to identify violations and establish responsibilities, she said. Violations of international humanitarian law may constitute war crimes for which individual criminal responsibility may be invoked, said Pillay, a former International Criminal Court judge from South Africa. Civilian massacres The massacres in Gaza, where civilians including children are among the hundreds killed, has attracted mounting international condemnation. The United Nations said on Friday that 30 Palestinians were killed in the Zeitoun neighborhood in central Gaza earlier this week when the Israeli army sheltered 110 civilians in a house which was later hit by shells. These were proportionality, distinction between combatants and civilians as well as military targets and civilian infrastructure, and feasible precautions to avoid or minimize incidental loss of civilian life. Diplomats said that the Geneva rights forum was expected to adopt a draft resolution censuring Israel at the talks, which may continue into Monday. The emergency session was called at the request of Islamic and developing countries backed by Russia, China and Cuba. The bloc enjoys a majority in the 47-member forum, in which the United States has virtually stopped participating. Both the Palestinian and Israeli ambassadors to the U.N. in Geneva were due to address the talks. Charters rare Shipping brokers in London who have specialized in moving arms for the British and U.S. military in the past said such ship charters to Israel were rare. A senior military analyst in London who declined to be named said that, because of the timing, the shipments could be irregular and linked to the Gaza offensive. Air Force Lt. Col. Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, said he would not comment on shipping routes for security reasons but confirmed a shipment of ammunition to Israel was planned. The delivery of ammunition is to a pre-positioned U.S. munitions stockpile in Israel in accordance with a congressionally authorized 1990 agreement between the U.S. and Israel, Ryder said. This previously scheduled shipment is routine and not in support of the current situation in Gaza. The

You need JavaScript enabled to view it (Cyprus, 11 January 2009) - The Free Gaza Movement ship, SPIRIT OF HUMANITY, will leave Larnaca Port at 12:00 noon, Monday, 12 January, on an emergency mission to besieged Gaza. The ship will carry desperately needed doctors, journalists, human rights workers, and members of several European parliaments as well as medical supplies. This voyage marks Free Gaza's second attempt to break through the blockade since Israel began attacking the Gaza Strip on 27 December. Between August and December 2008, the Free Gaza Movement successfully challenged the Israeli blockade five times, landing the first international ships in the port of Gaza since 1967. The Israeli military violently attacked an earlier attempt by the Free Gaza Movement to send an emergency boat filled with doctors and medical supplies to Gaza. In the early hours of Tuesday, 30 December, the Israeli navy deliberately, repeatedly, and without warning rammed the unarmed ship, the DIGNITY, causing significant structural damage and endangering the lives of its passengers and crew. The ship found safe harbor in Lebanon, and is currently awaiting repairs. Fouad Ahidar, a member of the Belgian Parliament sailing to Gaza aboard the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY, responded to concerns that Israel may attack the unarmed mercy ship by saying, I have five children that are very worried about me, but I told them, you can sit on your couch and watch these atrocities on the television, or you can choose to take action to make them stop. Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have injured thousands of civilians and killed over 800 people, including scores of women and children. This ongoing Israeli massacre severely and massively violates international humanitarian law defined by the Geneva Conventions, especially the obligations of an Occupying Power and the requirements of the laws of war. The United Nations has failed to protect the Palestinian civilian population from Israel's massive violations of international humanitarian law. Israel has closed off Gaza from the international community and demanded that all foreigners leave. But Huwaida Arraf, an organizer with the Free Gaza Movements, stated that, We cannot just sit by and wait for Israel to decide to stop the killing and open the borders for relief workers to pick up the pieces. We are coming in. There is an urgent need for this mission as Palestinian civilians in Gaza are being terrorized and slaughtered by Israel, and access to humanitarian relief denied to them. When states and the international bodies responsible for taking action to stop such atrocities chose to be impotent, then we--the citizens of the world--must act. Our common humanity demands nothing less. Israel has been notified that we are coming. A copy of the notification to the Israeli Authorities is attached. The media is invited to the Larnaca Port at 10:00 am to for final preparations and a press conference before departure. ### WHAT YOU CAN DO Take Action! CALL the Israeli Government and let them know that the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY is coming to Gaza. DEMAND that Israel immediately STOP slaughtering civilians in Gaza and STOP using violence to
