Finds formula to explain and simplify Bernoulli numbers

Iraq-born teen solves 300-year old math puzzle

STOCKHOLM (AFP)

A 16-year-old Iraqi immigrant living in Sweden was the youngest student to 
solve a math puzzle that has stumped experts for more than 300 years, Swedish 
media reported last week.

In just four months, Mohamed Altoumaimi found a formula to explain and simplify 
the so-called Bernoulli numbers, a sequence of calculations connected to numbe 
theory named after the 17th century Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli, the 
Dagens Nyheter daily said.

Altoumaimi, who came to Sweden six years ago, said teachers at his high school 
in Falun, central Sweden were not convinced about his work at first.

"When I first showed it to my teachers, none of them thought the formula I had 
written down really worked," Altoumaimi told the Falu Kuriren newspaper.

He then got in touch with professors at Uppsala University, one of Sweden's top 
institutions, to ask them to check his work. After going through his notebooks, 
the professors found his work was indeed correct.

Although the Bernoulli numbers formula had previously been solved, 
Altourmaimi's solution was praised because of his young age and school level, 
the paper reported.

Lindahs said that Altoumaimi is a very gifted student and found it remarkable 
that a high scool student was able to solve the puzzle.

"It's really exciting, now all the teachers have come and congratulated me," 
the teen said of the response to his formula.

Altoumaimi plans to take summer classes in advanced mathematics and physics 
this year.

"I wanted to be a researcher in physics or mathematics; I really like those 
subjects. But I have to improve in English and social sciences," he told the 
Falu Kuriren.

Bismillah [IslamCity] EU sees wide bias against Muslims

EU sees wide bias against Muslims 

MADRID - Muslims still face substantial discrimination in Europe, especially at 
work, and many fail to report racist incidents because of a lack of trust in 
authorities, a European Union human rights agency said Thursday.

In a survey of Muslims in 14 EU member states, the Agency for Fundamental 
Rights said one in three Muslims had faced discrimination, and 11 percent of 
those questioned said they had experienced a racially motivated crime.

The highest level of discrimination against Muslims occurred in the workplace, 
the agency said.

"Employment is a key part of the integration process. It is central to the 
contributions that migrants make to society, and to making such contributions 
visible. Discrimination may hamper the integration process," agency director 
Morten Kjaerum said in a statement.

The agency urged EU governments to tackle discrimination by making people aware 
of how to file complaints about discrimination and racism.

The report was part of the first-ever EU-wide survey on the experiences of 
immigrants and ethnic minorities, which reported last month that more than half 
of those groups believe discrimination is widespread where they live in Europe. 
Gypsies and Africans reported the most abuse.

Thursday's survey suggests similarly high levels of discrimination against 
Muslims.

In line with other minority groups, 79 percent of Muslims responding to the 
survey said they do not report discriminatory incidents and cases of racist 
crime to any authority, the agency said.

Young Muslims in particular have little faith in the police as a public 
institution. The survey said people without citizenship and new arrivals in a 
country were even less likely to report discrimination.

It said 59 percent of Muslim respondents believe "nothing would happen or 
change by reporting" and 38 percent said "it happens all the time" and 
therefore they do not make an effort to report incidents. "Truly accessible 
mechanisms are needed, where victims of racism can report in confidence," said 
Kjaerum. - AP

Bismillah [IslamCity] How a Muslim Charity became threat to Israel?

2009-06-04 Thread Shahid
How a Muslim Charity became threat to Israel? 
 
"It's remarkable. My client was convicted of providing charity. There was not, 
in ten years of wiretapping his home, his office, looking at his faxes, 
listening to everything he said, there was not one word out of his mouth about 
violence to anyone or about support for Hamas. He provided charity. That's what 
he was convicted of. And to say that someone or these people who provide 
charity should get a sentence six, you know, four or five times longer than 
someone who professes to come to the United States with a purpose in mind 
that's clearly violence shows essentially that these people were convicted 
because they were Palestinians.." - Nancy Hollander aatorney for the former 
HLF's CEO, Shukri Abu Baker.

It took "US Justice" over seven years to conclude the Israeli charade against 
the top five officials of America's largest Muslim charity, Holy Land 
Foundation. A Dallas Federal Court sentenced Holy Land Foundation's Board 
Chairman, Ghassan Elashi 55, and its CEO, Shukri Abu-Baker 50, each to 65 year 
in jail. The other three defendants, Mufid Abdulqader 49, Abdulrahman Odeh and 
Mohammad El-Mezain 55 - were handed over sentences, ranging from 15-20 years in 
prison. All the five defendants belong to the Palestinian families victimized 
by the European Jew settlers in the occupied Palestine.

All five defendents were previously acquited in 2007 when the radical Zionist 
Jew Attorney General, Michael Mukasey's (he played a major role in the cover-up 
of Israeli involvement in the 9/11. He is the second Jewish US Attorney 
General. Ed Levi served under president Ford in mid-1970s) boys could not sway 
jurors that the now de-funct charity, based in Richardson, was aiding the 
Islamic Resistance group Hamas (declared as a terrorist group in 1995 by 
Washington under AIPAC pressure). However, after the victory of Hamas in 2006, 
resulting in it formimg government in Gazzah - the Jewish Lobby groups revived 
the case against the former HLF officials - based on "new information" provided 
by Israel's internal service Shin Bet. No evidence that the five defendants 
ever preached terrorism was submitted the court. The only thing provided to the 
court was the pictures of the so-called "Israeli victims" of Palestinian 
suicide bombing.

It was Zionist Steven Emerson, who in his notorious anti-Muslim documentary 
"Jihad in America" (1994) claimed that HLF collected funds for Hamas, which was 
carrying out a resistance to recapture Palestinian stolen land. In the film, 
the rabit Jew alleged that many mosques and Islamic schools have become the 
venues of extremist exhortations to carry out Jihad against Jews and Christians 
(the cunning Jew would not acknowledge the fact that it's his holy Talmud which 
has been preaching hatred against Jesus, Mary and the Christians for the last 
20 centuries). Daniel Pipes, one of America's 12 greatest Islamophobes, has 
kept his on-going 'Zionist Crusade' against HLF since 1995.

Amy Goodman (anti-war Jew activist), host of 'Democracy Now' - interviewed 
Nancy Hollander and Noor Elashi (daughter of Ghassan Elashi) on May 29, 2009.

Bismillah [IslamCity] The Prophet's Advice

2009-06-04 Thread Shahid
The Prophet's Advice to Mu'aadh Ibn Jabal
By: Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Salih al Uthaimeen 
'Sharh Riyaadh as-Saaliheen - Chapter: Contemplation [Muraaqaba] 
Translated by Abu Rumaysah

Mu'aadh Ibn Jabal reported from the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi 
wasalam) that he said, "Fear Allah wheresoever you may be, and follow up an 
evil deed with a good one, it will efface it (the evil deed). And deal with 
mankind with good manners." Reported by at-Tirmidhee and he said that it was a 
Hasan hadeeth.[Al-Haakim reports it in al-Mustadrak and states that it 
meets the conditions of Bukhaaree and Muslim. Adh-Dhahabee agreed.]

This hadeeth is one of the Forty Ahaadeeth of the author, may Allah have mercy 
upon him, and in it is that the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) gave three 
great and important pieces of advice:

THE FIRST: He said, "have taqwaa of Allah wheresoever you may be." Taqwaa means 
to stay away from the forbidden matters and to enact the obligatory matters - 
this is taqwaa! That you enact what Allah has commanded you, sincerely for 
Allah and in compliance to the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wasalam), 
and that you leave what Allah has forbidden due to His prohibiting it and to 
steer clear of it.

For example that you establish the greatest obligation that Allah has imposed 
upon you after the testimony of faith - the prayer, and you establish it 
completely - fulfilling all of its conditions and pillars and obligations, 
fulfilling all of these perfectly. So whosoever leaves off any of these 
conditions, pillars or obligations then he has not feared Allah (to the best of 
his ability), rather he has been deficient in this to the extent of what he 
left out.

In Zakaah, the Taqwaa of Allah lies in your calculating all of your property on 
which the Zakaah is due, and your giving the Zakaah as a means of purifying 
yourself without any miserliness or tightfistedness, or delay. And whosoever 
does not do this than he has not feared Allah.

In fasting, the Taqwaa of Allah lies in your establishing the fast as you have 
been commanded, distancing yourself from idle speech, obscene words and 
mannerisms, boisterous behavior, backbiting and spreading tales and other such 
things that would make the fast deficient and remove the spirit of fasting. The 
true meaning of fasting is to fast from that which Allah, Azza wa Jall, has 
made forbidden. The same applies to all of the obligations that are used to 
establish obedience to Allah, and compliance to His command, sincerely for Him 
and in following His Messenger. Likewise all the forbidden actions are to be 
left in compliance to His prohibition.

THE SECOND: "and follow up an evil deed with a good one, it will efface it (the 
evil deed)." Meaning that when you perform an evil action then follow it up 
with a good action for the good action effaces the evil. And from the good 
actions to be performed after the evil is that you repent to Allah for this 
evil action, for indeed repentance is from the most noble and excellent of the 
good actions as Allah has said, "indeed Allah Loves those who repent and those 
who purify themselves." (2:222) And He said, "and repent to Allah all of you, O 
believers so that you may be successful." (24:31)

Similarly righteous actions expiate the evil actions as the Prophet (salallahu 
alayhi wasalam) said, "the five daily prayers and one Jumu'ah to the next 
Jumu'ah, and one Ramadan to the next Ramadan, is an expiation for what lies 
between them as long as one refrains from the major sins." [Muslim], and he 
said, "one Umrah to the next is an expiation for what is between them." 
[Bukhaaree].

Therefore, the good actions efface the evil.

THE THIRD: "and deal with mankind with good manners." The first two pieces of 
advice were those related to relationship with the Creator, this third relates 
to relationship of the creation to the creation. This being to deal with 
mankind with the best manners such that you will be praised and not blamed. 
This by having a cheerful complexion, being truthful in speech, speaking to 
others nicely and other such good manners.

There are a large number of texts concerning the excellence of having good 
manners to the extent that the Messenger (salallahu alayhi wasalam) said, "the 
most complete believer with respect to faith is the one with the best manners." 
And he informed us that the most deserving of mankind to him (salallahu alayhi 
wasalam) and the closest to him in ranking on the Day of Judgment would be 
those with the best manners.

So noble manners, along with their being a way to beautify gatherings and the 
person who possesses them being beloved to the people, contain a huge reward 
which will bestowed upon the person on the Day of Judgment.

So preserve these three pieces of advice from the Prophet (salallahu alayhi 
wasalam) and Allah is the Grantor of Success.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Identity And Religious Conversion

2009-06-04 Thread Ahsan Waheed
By Tomichan Matheikal
Countercurrents.org

"We did not convert because we are poor. If I am poor but accepted by
my community, there is no [social] terror in that poverty We did
not convert for money. We converted because of the society that saw us
as lesser, not worthy. We were 'lower caste', 'untouchable', 'lowly'.
Now we are Christian. Our god wants us. We can walk into his temple.
We are worthy. You understand?" [Spoken by a Dalit convert in Orissa.
Quoted in Violent Gods by Angana P. Chatterji, Three Essays
Collective, Gurgaon, 2009]

The driving force behind religious conversions is, more often than
not, a desire to live a "worthy" life, to have an identity that one
can be proud of. The caste system being practised even today in
Hinduism, despite all governmental efforts to eradicate it, is a major
cause of religious conversions in India. Poverty and attendant
exploitation is also another cause. But it appears that poverty and
exploitation are intertwined with the caste system.

The caste system in India was seen by Dr Ambedkar, principal author of
India's Constitution, as the country's greatest evil since it treated
millions of people as subhuman by the simple fact of their birth. The
man who tried his best to replace the discriminatory caste system with
an egalitarian society, the Buddha, ended up as yet another god among
the millions of deities in India. His teachings were suppressed by the
Brahmins who feared that their stranglehold on society would be
undermined.

Orissa is a state in India which witnessed much terrible violence in
the name of religion and religious conversions. The violence still
continues.

The Sangh Parivar organisations are opposed to the alleged mass
conversions into Christianity of Oriya adivasis (tribal people) and
others belonging to the lower castes. Many acts of outrageous violence
have been perpetrated on the Christians and thousands of them are
displaced from their hometowns. The Hindutva organisations allege that
Christian missionaries allure the poor people with money and other
enticements. How much water does the allegation hold?

Angana P. Chatterji, from whose book the introductory quote has been
taken, has done a commendable job researching into the violence in
Orissa. According to her, the adivasis and other lower caste people of
Orissa seldom considered themselves Hindus. In her words, "The Paika
Bidroha of 1817-1825, the Kol insurrection of 1831-1832, the Kanika
agitation of 1921-1922, the Praja Mandal (peasant) Movement of the
1930s and 1940s speak powerfully of Adivasi and subaltern refusal to
submit to cultural colonialism and Brahminical imposition" (199). Even
in the 1990s there were conflicts between the adivasis and the
exponents of Hindutva including Lakshmanananda Saraswati (who claimed
to be working for the welfare of the adivasis and the lower caste
people of Orissa). For example, the RSS and Lakshmanananda Saraswati
opposed the adivasis when they fought for indigenous child rights
(359). These Hindutva leaders did not want the adivasis to be
organised. They opposed the adivasi struggle for Kuidina (a state for
themselves). They tried to suppress the Kandhamal Nari Jagaran Samiti
and the Kuidina Ekta Samiti. "They (the RSS and Lakshmanananda
Saraswati) are dangerous people," Chatterji quote some Kui people.
"They want to kill our people like animals. They do not understand
religious differences. They do not understand our connection to our
land. We are neither Christians nor Hindus. We are Adivasi. We worship
the Earth. There are Christian Kui's. The Mission [church] never
forced us to convert. Not in Kandhamal, before or after 1947..." (359)

Chatterji exposes the myth that the adivasis considered or were eager
to consider themselves Hindus. In May 2006, at a convention attended
by about 50,000 adivasis, the Bisu Sendra Tribal Council, which serves
the tribal communities in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa,
determined to ban Hindu customs and rituals, representations and
priests from Adivasi spiritual and religious ceremonies (96).

Not different is the case with the lower caste people. Caste
oppression has been a bone of contention for long in Orissa as in
other parts of India. In Orissa, says Chatterji, "Dalit students and
teachers have been denied employment and entry into schools and
community events, and Dalit community members have been assaulted for
participating in Hindu religious ceremonies" (69). Chatterji lists a
number of incidents to show the disaffection between the people
belonging to the higher and lower castes. Such incidents led to the
conversion into Buddhism of about 3000 Dalits in Dec 2006.

Poverty

Poverty also plays its role in this complex issue. Orissa is one of
the most backward states in India. In the words of Ramachandra Guha,
"In 1999 Orissa overtook - if that is the word - Bihar as India's
poorest state" [India After Gandhi, Picador India, 2007, p.707]. The
adivasis and the lower caste people were exploited ec

The Exemption Exam is scheduled for 9th June. Application Forms must be 
submitted before that in order to participate in the Exemption Exam.
 
Students who qualify in the English Exemption Exam can complete the Associate 
Degree in 2 years instead of three and also get a reduction in fees of SR 
15,000.
 
There is no examination fee and prospectus can also be collected free of charge
