Walaikum asalaam

The story of the three American scientists a BBC television program
is an Islamic Urban Legend.  I have communicated with brother David
Pidcock, of the Islamic Party of Britain (who the story is attributed
to) and his replay was oh, it's up to three now?

Let
us not target just a few small countries about torture. Torture was legitimized
by Allan Dershowitz, a Hard University Professor of Law, in a TV Interview with
CBS-TV News -60-Minutes Program. This gave a green light to Donald
Rumsfeld (U.S. Defense Secretary);
John Ashcroft (U.S. Attorney General), and John Yoo (U.S. Deputy Assistant
Attorney General). Many innocent people were harmed and some lost their
lives in custody, including one Algerian women (a few days ago). What George
Herbert Walker Bush did to Kurdish people after the Gulf War is also
un-excusable, which is the same he 
did
with Bosnians. Let us be fair in placing the blame where it belongs, because
being powerful is not an excuse the States like U.S. and U.K. to absolve them
from responsibility under the International Law.
Moreover,
use of several thousand tons of DEPLETED URANIUM has not killed many people in
Middle East and Balkans, but it will continue to kill innocent people with
Cancer, Tumors and Birthg Defects for Billions of years to come, since the
half-life of Depleted Uranium is 4.5 Billion years. And how about deliberate
contamination of water by U.S. forces in Iraq (which is documented by several
people on Internet).For your information just search (using Google: www.googl;e.com)
for the key word [Technology of Political Control] and see what the civilized
countries are doing in developing such a horrible technology and distributing
to other countries for controlling their masses. The Bulletin of Atomic
Scientists 
Magazine
in one of the previous issues (see archives www.thebulletin.org ) had a big
article about the salke o small weapons done for profiteering and the
intelligence agencies belonging to most civilized nations. One cannot blame
just one party, as the famous saying is: It takes two to tango.
Just 
see
who are the largest sellers of weapons in the world. That is where the problem
lies. Try to nip the evil in the bud, not when the flower has already
blossomed. Accoding to Dan Smith, former Director of International Peace
Research Institute, Oslo, Norway, the top ten Arms Exporters from 1996 to 2000,
are: USA (47%), Russia (15%), France (10%), UK (7%), Germany (5%), Netherlands
(2%), Ukraine (2%) China 1%) Belarus (1%) and
deliberately left 
out
is the name of Israel (which also has a
sizeable arms trade in free market as well as Covert operations).

NO
ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW.
IF
JUSTICE IS NOT DONE, THEN ULTIMATELY IT WILL BE DONE BY GOD, WHERE NO
INTERCESSOR WILL BE ABLE TO INTERVENE.

Sadly this story is a too-often-repeated falsehood. Also known as an
urban legend.

First off the Daoud Moussa Peetcock head of the British Islamic
Party refered to in this story is actually David Musa Pidcock of the
Islamic Party of Britain (http://www.islamicparty.com/)

I took some time last year (2004) to get in touch with David and he
was kind enough to respond. When asked about the account, alleged to
be from him of a talk show between a British commentator and three
American astronautics specialists his response was:

Oh, it's up to three now?

Apparently this story has been growing and morphing for some time!

 Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the story.
 
 In a TV interview with the Egyptian Geologist Dr.
 Zaghloul Annajar, the anchor asked him about the
 verse:
 
 The Hour has drawn near,and the moon has been cleft
 asunder (the people of Makkah requested Prophet
 Muhammad [PBUH] to show them a miracle, so he showed
 them the splitting of the moon). (Quran 54:1) whether
 it contains any Quranic scientific astounding facts?
