  If Peace would have ever been beneficiary 
  for the State of Israel
  we would all have had Peace in Middle East since 1949.
   
  If the Wars would have been a danger 
  for the State of Israel
  it would not have planned , provoked and even started them in 
  1948 ,1956 ,1967 ,(1973), 1982 , 2006.
   
   
  Therefore , 
  please bear in mind that 
  for the Sate of Israel :
  Peace is the danger 
  and 
  Wars are beneficiary .

 Islam: a religion of peace


  By Dr S.M.M. Ashraf
  ISLAM is a religion of peace and solidarity. It negates all ideas and acts 
pertaining to gangsterism, cheating, dishonesty, backbiting, foul language, 
grudge, arrogance, personal enmity, murder and destruction.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) migrated to Medina after patiently enduring the extreme 
conditions and hostilities in Makkah for 13 years. He performed a noble task of 
preaching the Message of Allah and finally escaped the torturous enclaves of 
the non-believers. He laid the foundation of the first ever Islamic state and 
kept this state clean of all the social and other ills. A society was formed 
which was based on truth, principles, peace and high moral values. This Islamic 
state was completely run under the laws of Allah. Very soon the world witnessed 
that the nomads of Arabia, who lived the lives full of murder, adultery, theft 
and craftiness, were transformed into persons living a life of exemplary morals 
and values.

There was a lot of emphasis on education during the time of the Holy Prophet 
Muhammad (SAW) as well as during the times of the subsequent four Caliphs of 
Islam. This is the reason that at the time when the West was completely 
ignorant and under-developed, the Islamic world was the centre of learning, 
culture and education. The Muslim way of life was based on brotherhood, love, 
affection, honesty and compassion. All the above traits come into existence due 
to the presence of Islam and its teachings.

It is true that out of all the scriptures ever sent to the world, the Holy 
Quran is the only Book which still exists in its original and unadulterated 
form while all the others have lost their originality and consequently their 
followers also went astray. Such people formed their own interpretations from 
those books and fell into adopting social ills in their daily lives.

It is quite astonishing to see how conveniently and instantly a person’s 
individual act of terror is linked with Islam. This is a conspiracy and a 
defamation tactic against Islam. Isn’t it a fact that the Islamic schools are 
much more ancient than the so-called incidents of terrorism during the present 
times? One will never find any acts of terror in entire history of the Islamic 
institutions and, therefore, it is important to examine the causes.

The subcontinent always had a large number of Islamic schools and hundreds of 
thousands of Muslim scholars have been offering religious services both within 
their countries and abroad. It is an open secret that the intelligence agencies 
constantly monitor the activities of the Islamic schools and the students 
within such schools. Neither a single known terrorist has ever been arrested 
from any famous Islamic institution nor has any such institution ever been 
reported against.

As we look into the list of names of the well-known terrorists, we will find 
that not a single one of them graduated from any Islamic school. Therefore, it 
is hard to accept that the Islamic schools are the training camps or the 
breeding grounds of the terrorists. Similarly, all the rest of the big names in 
terrorism, are graduates of the conventional western universities. Till today, 
it was generally believed that poverty, illiteracy, economic disparity and 
violence are the causes of terrorism. However, the current facts have shown 
that terrorism is directly proportional to the wealth in the family. In other 
words, the richer the family of a person, greater are the chances of his 
becoming a high-profile terrorist.

One more quite visible fact is that leading terrorists are also quite highly 
educated and possess very high skills. Whether it is the attack on the World 
Trade Centre, any other act of terror or the editing of the Al Qaeda 
audio-video tapes on the internet, all are demonstrations of excellent 
professional expertise. The London police department has reported about the 
existence of a gang that wants to play havoc with the western world in the name 
of the entire world.

This gang consists of 45 doctors who are graduates of various prestigious 
western universities. These doctors are running their network through the 
internet. An ex-officer of the CIA and an expert on foreign policies, Mark 
Sagaman, has pointed out in his recent report that at least 63% of all the 
people involved in the acts of terrorism, are college graduates. Out of these 
75% are those who also have professional and post-graduate degrees. Only 13% of 
such individuals were less educated or uneducated and they did not normally 
belong to any religious school.

It is quite evident that a person from a poor family cannot even dream of 
entering into a professional or prestigious institution of higher education. 
For the poor kids, these Islamic schools are the only option where boarding, 
food and education are free. Here they learn the religion and get

{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.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Mike Huckabee, Christian Zionist

2008-01-06 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq
Because of Huckabee's win on the Republican side of the Iowa caucuses, 
reading the following article is worthwhile.
Huckabee's proposals amount to ethnic cleansing of Palestine
   View full size

by Rev. Stan Moody*, Christian Policy Institute, December 16, 2007   
Orthodox Jews love him. The Christian Right loves him. The LaHayes (authors of 
the Left Behind series) love him. Tele-Zionist John Hagee loves him.   
It is not because Gov. Huckabee is not a Mormon that they all love him. It is 
because his foreign policy as President will be to put the finishing touches on 
the Bush Doctrine in the Middle East.   
In a nutshell, Huckabee is a Rapturist. I’ll explain.   
Belief in the Rapture is predominant within Evangelical circles. It has no 
biblical support except by inference. It finds no place in the early history of 
the Christian Church and is based primarily on a prophetic interpretation 
developed in England in the mid 19th Century. Its architect was John Nelson 
Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren movement, a fundamentalist Christian 
sect that came out of Dublin, Ireland in the 1820’s. Darby published some 50 
books on his unique interpretations of the New Testament.   
Darby’s doctrine, known as Premillennial Dispensationalism, was expanded in 
1909 through the publication of the Scofield Desk Reference Bible, a Bible with 
extensive footnotes all screened through the lens of two future returns of 
Jesus to earth.   
The first return will be in the form of the physical resurrection of all “true” 
Christians, who will disappear from the earth in a single moment to join Jesus 
in the skies. That is referred to as the Rapture. For seven years to follow, 
the earth will be in a period of Satanic upheaval, building to a final 
Apocalypse in the Valley of Meggido (“Armageddon”), whereupon Christ will 
descend onto the Mount of Olives with His raptured saints, defeat the armies of 
Satan (including the Roman Catholic Church) and set up a physical throne in 
Jerusalem to reign for 1,000 years.   
There have been variations on that theme, but the physical return of Jesus to 
greater Israel has remained intact. In the US, the Dallas Theological Seminary, 
the flagship Southern Baptist pastoral training center, has been the breeding 
ground for the American Rapturist movement.   
In this scenario, the Jews remain the apple of God’s eye, the land promised to 
the patriarch Abraham being their inheritance. In the seven-year period of 
Satanic upheaval (referred to as the Great Tribulation), the land at least from 
the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River must be secured for Israel. Solomon’s 
Temple will be rebuilt, 144,000 Jews will be converted to Christ, there will be 
a bloodbath of monumental proportions, and peace will be restored.   
Support of Israel’s expanded borders, therefore, becomes non-negotiable for 
American Evangelicals who subscribe to this dogma. There is a long history of 
Evangelicals funding illegal settlements on the West Bank and in Gaza. 
Recently, Tele-Zionist, John Hagee, has consolidated these cultists into an 
organization called “Christians United for Israel” (CUFI), applauded not only 
by President George W. Bush but by such luminaries as Joe Lieberman, Tom DeLay 
and Presidential candidate John McCain.   
Huckabee on Israel and Palestine 

On October 15, 2007, Huckabee gave a stump speech at the home of New Hampshire 
State Representative Jason Bedrick, the first Orthodox Jew elected to the New 
Hampshire House of Representatives.[1] In that speech, he staked out the 
following: 
   He supports the creation of a Palestinian state   
   He believes that such a state should be formed outside “Israel.”   
   He suggested Saudi Arabia and Egypt as prospects for such a state, noting 
that the Arabs have far more land than the Israelis and that it would only be 
fair for them to give land for a state rather than carving it out of the tiny 
Israeli state   
   He stands against the creation of a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem, 
thus tacitly supporting the seizing of the Temple Mount by Israel, the third 
most sacred Moslem site in the world   
   He has stood against any pullback of illegal settlements on the Golan 
Heights and the West Bank.[2]
  By re-defining the boundaries of Israel to be vastly outside those officially 
recognized by international law, Huckabee unmasks himself to be a Christian 
Zionist.   
By offering a solution not unlike that envisioned by 19th century Americans to 
the slavery question and carried out against Native Americans, Huckabee 
essentially dehumanizes the Palestinians and proposes to transport them 
elsewhere.   
I accuse him, therefore, of being an advocate for the ethnic cleansing of 
Palestine. Here is his long-range view: “If you are with Jesus Christ, we know 
how it turns out in the final moment. I’ve read the last chapter in the book, 
and we do end up winning.[3]   
As an evangelical pastor and theologian,

2008-01-06 Thread Nashid Abdul-Khaaliq
Thanks for sending this John. Good video. The only problem I have was the 
beginning. Muslims should not be blamed for false flag terrorist operations 
conducted by our enemies. Even with all the headlines of arrests of Muslims for 
terrorism, 99% of them are found not guilty as charged and the ones found 
guilty are guilty only for minor immigration problems. The boogey man about 
Muslim terrorists is a hoax. What the speaker mentioned in the beginning are 
things that Muslims are being blamed for but things that I don't believe are 
being done by Muslims. Iraq is a good example of that and this audio 
presentation from the Taking Aim show gives a good exposure of that:
