These despicable acts of terror are an attack on humanity in general, not against people from certain nationalities or civilization. We hope that perpetrators of these heinous be brought to justice to receive the ultimate punishment for their crimes. We must also take this opportunity to remind the world of the suffering of the Palestinian people who are the victims of daily terror committed by Israel and sanctioned by the free world, by imposing inhumane siege against millions of civilians, including women and children.

Bismillah [IslamCity] To be White and Rich
George W Bush has ,today,just issued 14 presidential-pardons for convicted-criminals on tax evasion, stealing government properties and on cocaine-dealings. etc... (look up the details in the news) And, I remember 8 years ago when George came to power , we used to criticise him for never ever giving any pardons from the death-penalty-inmates into life imprisonment !! at least How time changes the tyrants !! How time made now George more humane !! God bless that President !! this is surely good news to many convicted-criminals ( provided they are white and rich ) We shall also remember him as the wise-man who once called Ariel Sharon a man of Peace. Bush ought to pardon also Ariel ( who is also White and Rich and Criminal ) Sherlock Hommos Gen.Secretary of Amnesia-International 25.11.2008
Bismillah [IslamCity] From www.xpis.ps
A whoring, lying state By Khalid Amayreh in occupied Palestine 27 November, 2008 Israel routinely claims to be civilized, and democratic. However, in truth, Israel is neither civilized nor democratic. In fact, one can safely claim that Israel is actually a criminal, barbarian and utterly uncivilized state that lives and thrives on murder, theft and mendacity. The following observations are an irrefutable proof showing that Israel differs very little from criminal states throughout history, past and present. Take, for example, the ongoing daily rampages by Jewish thugs, otherwise known as settlers, against Palestinians and their property in the southern West Bank town of Hebron. for more reading go to: www.xpis.ps
Bismillah [IslamCity] Mumbai Terror Attack: an observation
I personally belive it's too early to rush into any conclusions. At the same time, no possibilities should be ignored. And that's why I'm forwarding this opinion of Mr. Amaresh Misra With Regards Abi Thursday, 27 November 2008 Mumbai The Mossad Angle GAUTAM ADHIKARI SPEAK UP… DO SOMETHING…SAY OPENLY THAT THE RSS-MOSSAD ARE RESPONSIBLE–OTHERWISE BE DAMNED AND CONSIDER THE NATION DOOMED. THEY KILLED KARKARE TO SEND A MESSAGE THAT YOU CANNOT INVESTIGATE THE MOSSAD-RSS ANGLE. Mumbai and India Under Attack - Amaresh Misra http://top-secret-at.blogspot.com/search/label/Mumbai%20The%20Mossad%20Angle It is 4AM in India right now. I am in Mumbai reporting from the ground. I have not slept a wink. Mumbai is under attack. People and forces who killed Mahatama Gandhi, who demolished the Babari Mosque have triumphed. More than 16 groups of terrorists have taken over Taj, Oberai and several hotels. Hundreds of people are dead. For the first time no one is blaming Muslim organizations. The Mumbai ATS chief Hemant Karkare and other officers of the ATS have been killed. These were the same people who were investigating the Malegaon Blasts–in which Praggya Singh, an army officer and several other noted personalities of the BJP-RSS-Bajrang Dal-VHP were arrested. Karkare was the man to arrest them. Karkare was receiving threats from several quarters. LK Advani, the BJP chief and several other prominent leaders of the so-called Hindu terrorism squad were gunning for his head. And the first casualty in the terrorist attack was Karkare! He is dead–gone–the firing by terrorists began from Nariman House–which is the only building in Mumbai inhabited by Jews. Some Hindu Gujaratis of the Nariman area spoke live on several TV channels–they openly said that the firing by terrorists began from Nariman house. And that for two years suspicious activities were going on in this house. But no one took notice. Our worst fears have come true. It is clear that Mossad is involved in the whole affair. An entire city has been attacked by Mossad and probably units of mercenaries. It is not possible for one single organization to plan and execute such a sophisticated operation. It is clear that this operation was backed by communal forces from within the Indian State. The Home Minister Shivraj Patil should resign. The RSS-BJP-VHP-Bajrang Dal should be banned. Advani and others ought to be arrested. Today is a day of shame for all Indians and all Hindus. Muslims and secular Hindus have been proven right. RSS type forces and Israel are all involved in not only destabilizing but finishing India. India should immediately snap all relations with Israel. We owe this much to Karkare and the brave ATS men who had shown the courage to arrest Praggya Singh, Raj Kumar Purohit, the army officer and several others. A photograph publushed in Urdu Times, Mumbai, clearly shows that Mossad and ex-Mossad men came to India and met Sadhus and other pro-Hindutva elements recently. A conspiracy was clearly hatched. This is a moment of reckoning especially for Hindus of India. The killers of Gandhi have struck again. If we are true Sanatanis and true Hindus and true nationalists and true patriots we have to see this act as a clear attack by anti-national deshdrohi forces. Praggya Singh, Advani and the entire brand is anti-national. They ought to be shot. Any Hindu siding with them is hereafter warned of serious consequences. This is a question of nationalism. If no one else, the Indian army will not take this lying down. Communal, anti-national forces have attacked the very foundation of the Indian constitution and the nation. We will fight a civil war if need be against the pro-Hindutva, communal forces and their Israeli backers. Amaresh Misra
Bismillah [IslamCity] Mumbai blasts...m confused plzz help me out
Assalamualaikum All, http://timesofindia .indiatimes. com/articleshow/ 3762100.cms? TOI_mostemailed Please check the above link. Here it says that the deccan mujahedeen were asking to release all the mujahedeen. They also say that all the muslims in india should be respected n bl a bla bla. http://timesofindia .indiatimes. com/Mumbai_ attackers_ may_be_Pakistani _nationals/ articleshow/ 3764564.cms The above link says that the terroroists were from pakistan. http://www.inquisit r.com/9791/ deccan-mujahidee n/ the above links says deccan mujahedeen claims responsibility http://www.rediff. com/news/ 2008/nov/ 27mumbai- all-signs- of-alqaeda- inspired- attack.htm above link says all signs are of al-quida http://www.rediff. com/news/ 2008/nov/ 27mum-terrorists -in-touch- with-karachi- via-satphone. htm the above link says they were in touch with karachi http://www.rediff. com/news/ 2008/nov/ 27-attackers- looking-for- british-american .htm the above link says they were lookung for americans n british. now here first the media says it was lashkar then the deccan mujahedee, then says they were from pakistan n then says they had signes of al Queida. (Only SIMI is left so far). If the terrorists were pakistanis y the hell were they fighting for indian muslims n asking to release india mujahedeen. Pakistan have their own bomb blasts problmes in their country. If deccan mujahedeen (from india) have taken the responsibility then y the PM says that the terrorists are from outside country( indirectly pointing pakistan). If they are from india or pakistan y they were looikng for britons and americans. and if they were fighting for release of arresten indian mujahedeen y were they looking for britons and americans. Were they looking for english people, were they fighting for indian arrested mujahedeen, were thay taking revenge, were they pakistanis, were thay from lashkar or al-quieda or deccan mujahedeen. Y Advani says it was similar to Akshardhaam blasts( does he want to raise hindi- muslims fights again??? ??). Dear All, By above comments i dont mean to support any community or country or group. Its time to wake up and hold hands together. Political leaders are brainless creatures who spend crores of Rs: for there own security n poor people are not even protected from cold or rain. Its nonsense if we hope them to help out. They already started making it political issue. Media is unsure of any thing and starts blaming all the terrorist groups one after the other. On paper it seems to be 130+ killed and more than 300 injured. But by killing 100+ people they have ruined 1000s of life and 100s of families. Muslims, hindus,sikhs, christians, jews, britons. People from all the races have been killed. So how can it be a religious war? Killing of human is not allowed in any religion and very much restricted in islam. few black sheeps spoil the entire comminity's name. Pray to almighty Allah that these people get hidayah n this shld not become a religious fight like in gujarat few years ago. InshaAllah every culprit will pay here or here after. Allah is not unjust beshak. He is seeing every thing and he will for sure punish all the sinners. Pray for all. JazakAllah. Allah hafiz.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Thought for the day
As Salaamu Alaikum
Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of
useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in
whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience
teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life
instead, knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at
some point.

Prayer is the stepping stone of rewards and success when my life has its
trials and my eyes has its tears…Zohra Moosa (Deaf Poet)
***
{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness), and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: I
am one of the Muslims.} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels. [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all.
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]

Bismillah [IslamCity] Duua for worries and debt.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (radhiAllaahu 'anhu) reported, One day the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) entered the mosque. He (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) saw there a man from the Ansar called Abu Umamah. He(sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) asked, 'What is the matter with you that I see you sitting in the mosque when it is not the time of prayer. ' He replied, 'I am very much worried and in great debt, O Messenger of Allah!' The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, 'Let me teach you words to say so that Allah will remove your worries and settle your debt?' He exclaimed, 'Of course, O, Messenger of Allah.' The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, 'Say in morning and evening, Allahumma innee a`udhu bika mina al-hamm wal hazan wa a`udhu bika mina al-`ajzi wa al-kasal wa a`udhu bika mina al-jubun wa al-bukhl wa a`udhu bika min ghalabati al-dayni wa qahri al-rrijaal O Allah, I seek refuge in You from all worry and grief. I seek refuge in You from incapacity and slackness. I seek refuge in You from cowardice and niggardliness, and I seek refuge in You from being overcome by debt and being subjected to men. ' The man said, 'When I did that, Allah removed all my worries and settled my debt'. (Abu Daw'ud) __ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/
Bismillah [IslamCity] A bidah in Islamic greeting
A Common Bidah during Hajj by Asma bint Shameem I remember, last year during Hajj, I met an Arab sister. She happened to be in the same camp as I was, during our stay in Mina, and as Hajj was ending, we were sad to see each other go. Going through the Hajj rituals had brought us close together. Just as we were about to part and go our ways, she said to me La ilaaha illAllaah, and waited expectantly for me to reply. I looked at her. and I was quiet. Although, I loved her for the sake of Allaah, I could not reply back. How could I? I loved her for the sake of Allaah and so I had to tell her. I told her as gently as I could. Dear sister, what you said and what I am supposed to say back to you is not from the Sunnah of Rasullaah (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam). She was aghast. What! How could you not reply to me! she said. She was very upset and informed me that we will not be able to meet each other again, here in the dunya or in Jannah if I dont respond by saying, Muhammad ur Rasullah, back to her. When I remained quiet, she left.without even saying As Salaamu Alaikum to me...the REAL greeting of the people of Jannah! We live in difficult times. Times when a lot of bidah (innovation) has crept into the pure, perfect Shareeah that Muhammad (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) came with. And one such bidah that has spread like wild fire, especially among my Arab brothers and sisters, is saying La ilaaha illAllaah when parting with each other. When two people are parting from one another, the last thing they say before parting is La ilaaha illAllaah and the other says Muhammad ur Rasullah, to complete the sentence. And, their saying this, they believe, will ensure that they will meet each other again, in this world and in Jannahsomething that will bring them goodness and 'Khair'.kind of like a 'good luck charm'. Some of them even think it is part of the deen of Islaam. And, it is of UTMOST importance, they believe, that you have to reply back. If someone says La ilaaha illAllaah at the time of parting and if you don't reply Muhammadur Rasullah, it is as if you are bringing on the wrath of Allaah! Or some great evil is about to befall you, or that you will never meet again. Like I said..kind of like a 'good luck charm'. This bidah has become SO rampant that yesterday, I even noticed a Spanish REVERT sister, who has just recently accepted Islaam, talking to someone on the phone and just as she was hanging up, the last thing she said was, La ilaaha illAllaah and, back came the reply, Muhammadur Rasullah. In fact, it was this incidence yesterday that prompted me to write about this topic today. Where did she learn that? Who taught her this bidah? Which Ayah of the Qu'aan or books of Hadeeth did she learn this from? Obviously, it was from people. Muslims, who dont know any better, who think this is part of our deen or a matter of earning rewards, or even something that decides your Qadar' that decides whom you will meet and not meet, to say this 'Kalimah' at the time of parting. Why is it wrong? Obviously the statement La ilaaha illAllaah Muhammadur Rasullah, is the BEST statement a person can make...EVER. In fact, this statement marks the difference between Imaan and Kufr, between Jannah and Jahannum. Then why is it so wrong to say it when parting from one another?? When someone asked the knowledgeable Shaykh Saleh al-Munajjid about this matter, here is what he said: Firstly, there is no hadeeth which speaks of this dhikr when parting or concluding a gathering. Hence persisting in it or believing it to be a dhikr that is prescribed on such occasions is a bidah that is to be rejected, because the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: Whoever does any action that is not in accordance with our affair will have it rejected. (Muslim). The scholars have stated that singling out a particular time or place for an act of worship, or a particular manner in which it is to be done, with no proof from the texts, makes it a kind of bidah and innovation, in which case it is called bidah idaafiyyah. It is prescribed in principle, but is REJECTED because of the manner in which it is done. Acts of worship must be prescribed in and of themselves, the manner in which they are done, the time at which they are done and the number of times they are done, because Allaah can only be worshipped in the ways that He has prescribed in His Book or on the lips of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). (www.islamqa.com -- See question # 83092) So what is from the Sunnah? 1) The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) used to say, when he wanted to leave a gathering: Subhaanaka Allaahumma wa bi hamdika, ashhadu an laa ilaaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atoobu ilayk (Glory and praise be to You, O Allaah, I bear witness that there is no god but You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to

Bismillah [IslamCity] Bing Bang Experiment - Large Hadron Collider nearly ready[Rare Photos]
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a 27 kilometer (17 mile) long particle accelerator straddling the border of Switzerland and France, is nearly set to begin its first particle beam tests. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is preparing for its first small tests in early August, leading to a planned full-track test in September - and the first planned particle collisions before the end of the year. The final step before starting is the chilling of the entire collider to -271.25 C (-456.25 F). Here is a collection of photographs from CERN, showing various stages of completion of the LHC and several of its larger experiments (some over seven stories tall), over the past several years The Globe of Innovation in the morning. The wooden globe is a structure originally built for Switzerland's national exhibition, Expo'02, and is 40 meters wide, 27 meters tall.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Social service in Islam By Sidrah Unis Friday Feature Courtesy:http://dawn.com/2008/11/21/ed.htm
November 21, 2008 Friday Ziqa'ad 22, 1429 Social service in Islam By Sidrah Unis SOCIETY, since its inception, has witnessed a never-ending tussle between the rich and the poor. It has looked upon misuse of power and suppression of the weak with an air of cynicism and helplessness. However, amidst this resignation, some step forward to work for the economic, social and emotional wellbeing of the less privileged. Social service is a realisation that a certain situation or practice is detrimental to the interest of a particular class of people and will have serious repercussions on society as a whole; the negative impact can be avoided by acting collectively. Social service involves not only monetary help but also the creation of opportunities for the uplift and betterment of a people, particularly the needy. It is also an effort to discourage malpractices. Social service has sound roots in Islamic injunctions: “Certainly, We created Man in the best mould. Then We [also] render him the lowest of the low, except those who believe and do good…” (95: 4-6) The Holy Prophet (PBUH) once said, “You shall not enter Paradise until you have faith; and you cannot attain faith until you love one another. Have compassion on those who are on earth and He in heavens will have compassion on you. God will show no compassion to one who shows no compassion towards fellow human beings.” Monetary help is one of the most important components of social service. Philanthropy in Islam is of two kinds in the main: obligatory and voluntary. Obligatory philanthropy consists of Zakat and Fitra; voluntary philanthropy includes Sadqah and Waqf; “…But righteous is he who believes…and gives of his wealth, for love of Him, to kinfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, and to those who ask and sets slaves free…and pays Zakat…” (2: 177) (See also 3: 91). Zakat is a share of wealth that is obligatory upon a Muslim to give to fixed categories of beneficiaries if the value of his assets is more than the specified limit. Islam has specified the persons to whom Zakat is payable: “(Zakat) charity is only for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer it, and those whose hearts are made to incline to (truth), and (to free) the captives, and those in debt, and in the way of Allah… for the wayfarer…” (9: 60). While only Muslims must pay Zakat, there’s no bar on its distribution among needy non-Muslims. In Islamic history we have seen its collection and distribution by the state. The Prophet said, “Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection: ‘O son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. Man will say: O Lord, and how should I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that my so-and-so servant (man) was ill and you visited him not? Did you not know that had you visited him you would have found Me with him? [Then Allah will say] I asked you for food and you fed Me not. Man will reply: …and how should I feed You? He will say: My so-and-so servant asked you for food and you fed him not. Did you not know that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward of doing so) with Me..?” Thus the long hadith goes on outlining the various aspects of social service, and is a testimony that Islam enjoins service and kindness to fellow human beings. “To orphans restore their property (when they reach their age), not substitute (your) worthless things for their good ones; and devour not their substance (by mixing it up) with your own…” (04: 02) (See also 2: 220). The Prophet said, “Those striving to help widows and the poor are like those striving in the way of Allah.” According to another hadith, the Prophet narrated: “While a man was on his way, he found a thorny branch on the way and removed it. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him [his sins].” Islam enjoins service to the people, be it ever so modest. The Prophet said that whosoever removes a worldly grief of a believer, Allah will remove from him one grief on the Day of Judgment. Whoever alleviates (the lot of) a needy person, Allah will alleviate (his lot) in this world and the next… Allah will aid His servant so long as the servant aids his fellow brother… The Quran and the traditions of the Prophet are replete with such injunctions adjoining social service.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Makkah to be turned into smart city
Makkah to be turned into smart city JEDDAH: A two-day international conference on intelligent cities will be held in Makkah in January next year with the objective of transforming Makkah into a smart city with advanced technological facilities. Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal will open the conference at Umm Al-Qura University’s King Abdul Aziz Historical Hall on Jan. 19. It will bring together a large number of experts from around the world to discuss the best ways to apply intelligent city concept to Makkah. The conference will be organized by the Makkah Municipality in association with the Communications and Information Technology Commission and the Haj Research Center. “This is the largest conference on intelligent cities to be held in the Kingdom,” said Makkah Mayor Osama Al-Bar. “It aims at expediting the use of smart city technologies in Makkah for the benefit of the millions of pilgrims who come to the city every year for Haj and Umrah,” the mayor said. He said the conference would contribute to improving the services being rendered by various government departments in the city to both citizens and pilgrims. “It will make Makkah a model for other Muslim cities around the world.” “This conference is an initiative to apply smart city technologies in the Kingdom and transform it into a knowledge-based society and a digital economy,” the mayor pointed out. The presence of intelligent city facilities will speed up communication with the outside world and boost cultural, economic and commercial development, Al-Bar said, adding that the conference would discuss successful experiments in the field at national and international levels. The transformation of Makkah into a world-class intelligent city will help address the needs of pilgrims from around the world, said Mohammed Maqazi, head of the conference’s scientific committee. “The pilgrims need accommodations, meals, information and communication channels, and various modes of transportation. A combination of the latest technologies that integrate fixed and wireless broadband networks, fixed and mobile GIS and GPS applications, and user-friendly information and communications points can greatly enhance the visitors experience, and the city's objective of quality services to the visitors of the holy sites,” he explained. He said discussions at the conference would include e-government, safety control systems and security applications, intelligent city management applications, and how to develop a large community of users with ICT skills. While the availability of the needed broadband infrastructure is the central issue for the needed transformation, the conference will also address the need to improve city services to residents and guests, boost productivity, enhance global communications, and provide state-of-the-art emergency response and disaster mitigation applications. There will be workshops on e-government services suite, GIS based planning and management applications, mobile GIS emergency response applications, security, law enforcement and safety control applications. ref: http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1section=0article=114512d=19m=9y=2008
Bismillah [IslamCity] Michael Jackson converts to Islam: report
Says new name is Mikaeel
*Michael Jackson converts to Islam: report*

*Yousef Islam witnessed Jackson [a revert, previously known famous
singer as Cat Stevens] take shahada, the paper said*
DUBAI (AlArabiya.net)
Troubled U.S. star Michael Jackson has converted to Islam and changed his
name to Mikaeel, press reports said Friday.
A conversion ceremony was held at a Los Angeles mansion where Jackson was
seen wearing 'Islamic garb', British tabloid The Sun reported quoting an
unnamed source.
Jackson reportedly took the shahada—the Islamic declaration of belief—and
became a Muslim, just days before he was due in a London court where he is
being sued by a Bahraini prince.
The paper reported that British singer Yousef Islam—previously known as Cat
Stevens before he famously became a Muslim—was also at the ceremony held at
the Hollywood Hills home of Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro, 51, who
composed music on Jackson's Thriller album.
Jackson's new name is reportedly Mikaeel after he rejected the name Mustafa,
the paper said, adding the decision to convert came about as Jackson was
recording a new album.
The former 'King of Pop'—who has been accused and acquitted of child
molestation several times—is back in court after Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad
al-Khalifa, the second son of the king of Bahrain, filed a claim against
Jackson for breaching an agreement to record a new album and says the star
owes him $7 million.

The 50-year-old star, pledged his allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a
friend's mansion in Los Angeles, the Sun reported.
Jackson sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to
officiate -- days before the singer is due to appear at London's High Court
where he is being sued by an Arab Sheik, the paper said.
The star decided to adopt the new religion while he was recording a

him through the ceremony.
Apparently the star of hits like 'the Way You Make Me Feel-was convinced by
his producer and songwriter friends David Wharnsby and Phillip Bubal.
They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they
had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to
the idea.
An Imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada,
which is the Muslim declaration of belief, the source revealed.

Jacko rejected an alternative name, Mustafa meaning the chosen
one, the source added.
The singer, who rarely ventures out without a mask, is due to give evidence
on Monday in a 4.7 million pound lawsuit brought by Prince Abdulla Al-Khalif
of Bahrain for defaulting on an exclusive recording contract.
