Bismillah [IslamCity] Indonesia: De-Islamization of Muslim majority
Indonesia: De-Islamization of Muslim majority "I would prefer to see Indonesia splintering apart rather than being lead by a Muslim (practicing) figure," - Maj. Gen. Theo Syafei (a Christian), deputy chairman of former president Megawati's PDI Perjuangan. "The unity of Muslim Ummah is the most dangerous factor, which must be disrupted by isolating various parts of the Ummah from one another and by the suppression of the religious leadership," - Snouck Huurgronje, the chief Islamic advisor to the Dutch colonialists. Though Christian account for only 9% of Indonesian population of over 220 million (88% Muslims, 2% Hindus and 1% Buddhists and Pagans) - like the Jewish Lobby in the West - they almost control the government, military, intelligence agencies (TNI, BAKIN, and BIN), media and economy (IBRA) and think tanks (Centre for Strategic and International Studies). The top military general, who carried out mass murders of Muslims, are Christians, such as, Benny Murdani (former C-in-C and later Defense Minister), Luhut Panjaitan (former Minister of Industry), and Theo Syafei. The list of Christian ministers in former president Abdur-Rahman Wahid's included Bungaran Saragih (Minister of Agriculture) and Purnomo Yusgiantoro (Minister of Mining and Energy). Historically, Indonesia never functioned a political state until the colonization of its 13,500 islands by the Dutch colonialists in 1509 CE - who named the Malay world of Southeast Asia - the Dutch East Indies, which later was 'Christianized' to Indonesia. The Dutch colonialists originally came to invade about a dozen Islamic States - the lands from Acheh in the West to Ternate in the East, some 5,000 miles apart and many islands between, were all populated by Muslims and enjoyed the rule of Islamic Shari'ah. Muslim traders introduced Islam to the local people during the 13th century. During the 1945-49 struggle for independence - lead by Islamic Mashumi Party - everyone expected that the new republic would be an Islamic State, not only because of the Muslim majority but also because the fighting and the dying were under the banner of 'Islamic Jihad'. In 1949 - when the Dutch colonialists withdrew - they made sure to hand-over power to Javanese anti-Islam secularists and Christian elites whose first step was to scotch any mention of Islam in the Indonesian constitution, the Pancasila doctrine (word driven from Hindu mythology), which is based on pagan Hindu culture of the Natives. The second step was to place Islamic education, mosques, Zakah and Fitra, and Hajj under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which has been governed by 'official ulemas' (mostly belonging to Nahdatul Ulema Party), who believe that the Pancasila ideology is not against Islamic principles. The five principles of Pancasila ( fathered by Kusno Sukarno, died 1970, the first president of Indonesia) are 1.. belief in God (according to ones' own interpretation), 2.. Indonesian nationalism (it is a multi-cultural and a multi-racial entity, put together by Dutch colonialists), 3.. humanitarianism (its definition is to open to ones' choice too), 4.. democracy (sort of American democracy - for the elites by the elites), and 5.. social justice (for the rich and powerful). General Murdani was a frequent visitor to Tel Aviv. He bought arms and reconditioned Israeli jet-fighters for Indonesian Armed Force. Both Suharto and Murdani pocketed million of dollars worth of commission from Israelis. According to a CIA report on the working of Israeli Mossad - recovered from the US embassy in Tehran - Israeli provided training to the secret service of Indonesia and maintained constant contacts through Mossad officers working under commercial cover. In a CIA sponsored military-soup, Sukarno was replaced by a pro-West General Suharto in March 1967, who ruled the Muslim-majority country with the help of Christian military elites and western vultures who wanted to keep exploiting natural resources of the region and making sure that the country doesn't turn into an Islamic state in the future. Indonesia is rich in oil, gas, coal (93.4 billion-tonne), tin, nickel, timber, gold and silver - and has been target of western greed and killings. The current (sixth) president, General Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (he held ministerial posts under president Wahid and Megawati) - has several Christians holding powerful cabinet posts, such as, defense, interior, and finance. In 2006, Iranian president, Dr. Ahmadinejad, visited Indonesia on Yudhoyono's invitation. Indonesia has no diplomatic relations with the Zionist entity - but that did not stop some 'moderate Muslim scholars' to meet Jewish mass-murderer, Shimon Peres in 2007. http://rehmat1.wordpress.com/2009/02...slim-majority/

Bismillah [IslamCity] Re :Re: Bismillah,Dr. Zakir Naik - Defame And Destroy.
Assalaam Alaikum to all brothers, I would like to ask Mr. Jamshed Iqbal, What actually is it about Dr. Zakir Naik, that is bothering him? Is it the attention (fame) he is getting or is it the Money he (or his organization) makes? Nothing Mr. Jamshed Iqbal wrote proves anything against Dr. Zakir Naik. The truth is evident to everyone, He has devoted his life to making "Dawah". Hundreds (if not thousands) of people across the globe have accepted (reverted to) Islam because of his services to deen, Alhamdulillah and the numbers increase with each passing day, Masha'Allah! If you have a problem digesting these facts then I suggest you find a way to deal with it. Kindly do not defame nor obstruct the way of those who dedicate their life for the sake of Allah, They have enough opposition (from other religeous leaders) to deal with as it is. If you think he is not going about his duty appropriately then why don't you show him the proper way. I request all my muslim brothers not to discuss/debate or criticize the Shia & Sunni practices. We have enough enemies of islam and we need to stand united to face the challenges ahead. Best Regards & Allah Hafiz. Nadeem.

A) Suppose Quran & Hadith is Islam though its not supported by Nas-e-Quran, which is Quran & Prophet's Sunnah. Shia & Sunni unanimously agreed that theres no hadith is as authentic,as Mutawatir, as consistent as Hadith-e-Thaqalain- -Only Shia & majority of sunni found this hadith as binding as consistent it is. Prophet says I am leaving behind Quran & Ahlul-Baith stick with them--Hadith does not end here--It continues--Until they reach me at Hoz-e-Kausar. So Quran & Ahlul Baith are inseperable until the judgment day--Its possible Zakir Naik preach Tauheed in his style & convert few hindus but it does not give him certificate of Sirat-e-Mustaqeem. Islam is nothing but obedience to Allah & obedience to Prophet(saw) because of obedience to Prophet as per His command obedience to Ahlul Baith is also Islam & essential part of Eiman. Zakir Naik could never be bigger Maowwahid than Shaitan Iblees but he digressed as Shaitan when he thought he knew better than Allah how to worship Him. Worship means nothing but obedience--disregar ding ahlul baith is as bad deviation as that of Shaitan. --- On Sat, 2/14/09, muham...@yahoo. com wrote: From: muham...@yahoo. com Subject: Re: Bismillah [IslamCity] Dr. Zakir Naik - Defame And Destroy.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Tanzania - Christianizing Islam and Israel
Tanzania - Christianizing Islam and Israel The Eastern African country Tanzania (population over 40 million) is the result of a marriage between two former British colonies, Tanganyika (Muslims 35%, Christians 30%, and Indigenous 35% - according to CIA's 'The World Factbook') and Zanzibar (Muslims 99%) which took place in 1964. Muslims are found in all of 120 tribes living within borders of Tanzania. Julius Kambarage Nyerere (1922-1999), the first president of Tanzania was a fundamentalist Catholic, who attended Mass on regular bais - and was responsible for toppling of Zanzibar ruler, Sultan Jamshed bin Abdullah by a military coup in 1964. He ruledTanzania till his retire,met in 1985. During his rule he put his fellow members of Christian minority at almost all government sensitive positions. He carried out a systemayic policy of Christianization. Students who refused to follow Christian doctrine in schools were expelled. Islamic missionary activist were harassed or persecuted for being enemies of country's Socialist Constitution. Learning of Arabic was banned and Muslims wishing to go for Hajj were discouraged by government officials. Pro-government organizations, both Muslims and Christians, tried to establish a nixed Islamic-Christian dogma under the name of the Islamic Renewal Movement - which basically attacked Islamic Shari'ah and Jihad (military resistance). The City state of Zanzibar was established by Muslim Arabs from Oman in the 8th century. During 16th century, Zanzibar was colonized by Portuguese. In 1699 the Portuguese colonists were thrown out by Arabs and the country became part of Oman dynasty. In 1840 Omani Sultan Seyyid bin Sultan moved his seat of govenment from Oman to Zanzibar. In 1890, England obtained protectorate status over Zanzibar. In 1897 Zanzibar came under German colonization. In 1919 the League of Nations awarded Tanganyika to England, which ruled the country till December 1961. Island of Zanzibar got its independence in 1963 under the al-Busaidy Sultan. In 2005, Julius Nyerere was declared Saint (Beautification) by Vatican for his services to the Church. The current and the fourth president of Tanzania, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete is a Muslim but close friend and follower of Julius Nyerere's socialism. He takes credit for appointing six women ministers in his cabinet. The Zionist entity established its diplomatic relation with Tanzania in 1960s. It provided military training to Tanzanian armed personnel - just as it did to anti-Islam dictators ruling Muslim-majority countries in Africa, such as, Nigeria, Uganda (dictator Adi Amin received his higher military training in Israel), Somalia, Ethiopia, etc. Israeli historian, professor Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi in his book 'The Israel Connection' wrote: "If Israeli ambitions in Africa had been allowed to proceed without interruption, the logical result could have been a vast block of pro-western, anti-communist nations stretching from Israel in the north to South Africa. Such a grouping would have viturally guaranteed the security of two most vulnerable (racist) nations (Israel and South Africa) at either end of African continent and reduced the ability of Soviet Union to expand its sphere of influence in the region." http://rehmat1.wordpress.com/2009/02...am-and-israel/

Bismillah [IslamCity] The Theology of Liberation
http://frustratedar abdiary.blogspot .com Two armed-liberation-forces with two religions, but one God. Two British-soldiers were assassinated yesterday in Northern-Ireland. They were packing their stuff , and getting ready to be re-deploid in Afghanistan. Fate caught up with them, faster than life itself and they shall never see Afghanistan , again. The " Real IRA" has claimed the responsibility of their assassination .. Destiny or Fate or Bad-Luck was faster, than the Taliban's. There is something undeniable and unavoidable about the Theology-of-Liberation : .it liberates !! whether it liberates the Catholics of Ireland or it liberates the Muslims of Afghanistan God is always with the oppressed people although most of the Kings and the most oppressors do claim to have him on their side. (Northern) Ireland and Afghanistan are occupied, today, as in 200 years ago The death of those two poor-souls, is ,for us, just a reminder.. Imperialism does not mind which the religion its victims do have . And Liberation does not mind neither the religion of its oppressors . If a religion liberates , then it is welcome and when a religion enslaves then it is not. If the IRA were only an Irish-Football-club it would never have (partly) liberated its home.. and the Taliban's are Afghans who which to run their own country as they think it is right to do Being ,myself ,a christian I salute the Muslim- Taliban's until the Afghans themselves decide for another liberator. Being ,myself, an evangelical/protestant I also salute the Catholic-IRA until Ireland decides to replace them , by whoever might be better. I offer my condoleances to the families of the 2 dead soldiers. At least they died with no blood on their hands !! Raja Chemayel 10Th of March 2009 http://frustratedar abdiary.blogspot .com
Bismillah [IslamCity] About State Religion in Bangladesh
Dear sirs/ friends/members, Assalamu Alaikum.Some people want to abolish Islam as state religion of Bangladesh as reported by the Press.Islam was made state religion by General Ershad's government about two decades back. The move to abolish Islam as state religion is inappropriate. Whether written or not in all Islamic/Muslim states ( whether Khilafate Rashida or Banu Umayya or Banu Abbas or Usmani or Mughals or others ) had effectively Islam as state religion.These stated had Islamic law in force , they found their legitimacy in observing and defending Islam.The atate observed Islam but the non-Muslim citizens had all freedoms including freedom of religion.I hope this government will not take any such steps. Secularism is no answer in a Muslim majority state.Islam and secularism in proper sense are just opposite to each other. Shah Abdul Hannan
Bismillah [IslamCity] RIYADHU-US-SALEHEEN -Chap.16# 162 On the COMMAND TO FOLLOW SUNNAH & ADAB
16. Chapter: On The Command To Follow The Sunna And Its Adab Allah Almighty says, "Whatever the Messenger gives you you should accept, and whatever he forbids you you should forgo," (59:7) and the Almighty says, "He does not speak from whim. It nothing but Revelation revealed." (53:3-4) The Almighty says, "Say: 'If you love Allah, then follow me and Allah will love you and forgive you for your wrong actions," (3:31) and the Almighty says, "You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah for all who put their hope is in Allah and the Last Day." (33:21) The Almighty says, "No, by your Lord, they are not believers until they make you their judge in the disputes that break out between them, and then find no resistance within themselves to what you decide and submit themselves completely," (4:64; H4:65) and the Almighty says, "If you have a dispute about something, refer it back to Allah and the Messenger." (W4:58; H4:59) Scholars say that this means the Book and the Sunna. The Almighty says, "Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah" (W4:79; H4:80) and the Almighty says, "Truly you are guiding to a Straight Path," (W42:49; H42:52) and the Almighty says, "Those who oppose his command should beware of a testing trial coming to them or a painful punishment striking them." (W24:61: H24:63) The Almighty says, "And remember the Signs of Allah and the wise words which are recited in your rooms." (33:34) 162. Abu Musa reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "The example of the guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like the abundant rain which strikes the earth. Some of it is fertile and accepts the water and brings forth plants and grass in abundance. Some of it is hard and holds the water enabling Allah to let people use it. They drink from it, water their animals and irrigate. Some of the land it strikes is level and barren and does not retain the water nor produce plants. The first is the example of someone who understands the Deen of Allah and benefits from that with which Allah has sent me and learns and teaches. The last is the example of the person who pays no attention to it and does not accept the guidance with which I have been sent." [Agreed upon]

Bismillah [IslamCity] Optimistic women live longer, healthier
Optimistic women live longer, healthier Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:39:00 GMT Optimistic women who tend to see the glass half full rather than half empty live longer and much healthier, a new study has found. According to the study presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society, women who expect good rather than bad things to happen are 14 percent less likely to die from any cause. Compared to their pessimistic peers, optimists are more likely to be slim and physically active and are less likely to smoke. They are also less prone to high blood pressure and diabetes. Their strong social relationships help them cope with chronic stress, lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The risk of death secondary to heart problems is reduced by 30 percent in these women. "Cynically hostile" women considered as highly mistrustful individuals are 16 percent more likely to die from any cause and 23 percent more vulnerable to death from cancer. Scientists concluded that optimism is directly linked to longevity.
