This Week's Hadith (Sahih Muslim, Book 041, Number 6918:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The
Last Hour would not come before the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, for
which people would fight. Ninety-nine out of each one hundred would die but
every man amongst them would say that perhaps he would be the one who would be
saved (and thus possess this gold).

Bismillah [IslamCity]
America's whoredom season By Khalid Amayreh in Occupied East Jerusalem 5 February, 2008 And the governor said, Why, what evil that man (Jesus) has done? But they cried out more vociferously, shouting, let him die, let him die. And when Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was being made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it. Then all the people answered, saying: His blood be on us, and on our children.Matthew 27 (23-26). As always in an election year, American presidential contenders are displaying some distinguishable differences on a whole range of political, social and economic issues affecting American voters. However, there is one single issue that solidly unifies all aspirants to the White House, and it doesn't matter if you are republican or democrat, black or white, liberal or conservative, religious or unreligious. Everyone must go with the flow because those who don't will lose and be vilified by the multitudinous tongues of evil men whose pagan god is Israel and religion is Zionism. This issue is, of course, Israel and its enduring Nazi-like oppression of the Palestinian people. In America, as some American intellectuals have come to realize, Israel is not only innocent until proven guilty, as the rest of humanity is treated. Israel is actually innocent, super-innocent, even if proven guilty a thousand times, as undoubtedly it has been. This benevolent innocence is not a variable; it is an absolute, immutable constant, irrespective of how many thousands of innocent Palestinian and Lebanese civilians Israel murders, how many houses Israel destroys, and how many nefarious crimes Israel commits. Israel is after all God's nation and the apple of the Lord's eye, and as such is incapable of being guilty or even mistaken as the late American evangelical leader Jerry Falwell claimed. Now is the election season, or, more correctly, the season of political prostitution and moral whoredom, in the United States. In this marketplace of wanton hucksterism, Israel is the ultimate holy cow, the sacrosanct mantra whose invocation justifies the unjustifiable, even the unthinkable. Maybe many Americans will wonder why a Palestinian living 12000 kilometers away would speak so harshly of their marvelous quadrennial carnival of democracy. Well, in a certain sense I don't blame them. They are a people whose fanatically ignorant president invaded, occupied and destroyed two sovereign nations, and killed or caused the death of over a million innocent people because God told him to do it. They are a people whose country has been bankrolling and arming to the teeth a manifestly evil state that has been murdering, tormenting and oppressing a nearly helpless people, the Palestinians, on no account other than the fact that the victims are not members of the holy tribe. It is a country whose top leader had the moral audacity to call Israel's certified war criminal, Ariel Sharon, may he lodge in hell for eternity, a man of peace. It is a country that is trying to spread democracy overseas by starving and tormenting a people for electing the wrong political party. It is a country that has made words such as Abu Ghraib, renditions and Guantanamo household names. In America, they call it political correctness, since voicing a nonconformist view regarding Israel, however innocuous and reasonable, would amount to a definite political suicide. It is political suicide to call for peace and justice in Palestine, since justice for the Palestinians would always be construed to mean another holocaust for Jews. It is political suicide to invoke UN resolutions 242 and 338, as the basis of a prospective peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians. It is political suicide to call on Israel to stop targeting Palestinian civilians.because then you are raising questions about Israel's morality especially its most moral army. It is political suicide to even invoke the very humanity of the Palestinians because Israel's enemies, or more correctly victims, can't be really human, at least humans whose humanity is equal or comparable to the humanity of the chosen race!! In this conspicuously intimidating atmosphere, even a passing allusion to international law and human rights, as guiding considerations for the resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, would be sufficient to bring about the political decapitation of any presidential hopeful who dares to even slightly differ with the powerful Zionist cult now enslaving American politics, media and public discourse. In Jesus' time, at least the pagan Roman governor of Jerusalem, Pilate, possessed the moral decency to claim innocence of the blood of this just man. However, in today's America, it is very
Bismillah [IslamCity] Iraqi Refugees in Syria Turning to the Unknown
It seems like Syria just let them in the country to get money (International Aid) from other countries. Iraqi Refugees in Syria Turning to the Unknown By Raya Shokatfard Freelance Writer - Egypt Iraqi refugees wait to register their names at the UNHCR centre in the Douma suburb of Damascus, July 19, 2007. (Reuters Photo) As nations praise Syria for being the only Arab country keeping its borders open for the Iraqis driven from their homes, the refugees blame Syria and the rest of the world for forgetting about their hardship and needs. They let us in, but stamp our passport with 'work not permitted' and give us no financial support, said a woman holding eight passports in her hands outside the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) office in Sayeda Zainab district. How are we supposed to live, on what? she screamed, crying about the financial hardship they are facing, living on the very little basics. Currently, Syria hosts about 1.5 million refugees, according to the UNHCR. Immediately prior to the Iraq war, Syria entered into an agreement with the UNHCR to provide temporary protection to Iraqis during the instability in Iraq; they are given a renewable 3-month legal residence visa. Due to lack of work, some of the Iraqis who exhaust their savings have to return to Iraq and face further hardship; some with better financial capabilities seek other countries. Resonated With Sorrow They let us in, but stamp our passport with 'work not permitted' and give us no financial support, said a woman holding eight passports. Beside financial hardship, much of the suffering the Iraqis face in Syria is due to lack of adequate medical help. A man showed a picture of his little girl with a bloated and deformed stomach that, he explained, may have been caused by her mother's exposure to depleted uranium prior to giving birth. He gets no financial help from the Iraqi government or the US; Syria would pay only for limited medical costs. An elderly woman cried as she talked about her adult daughter who has some disease causing her to be overweight, making her unable to walk. There are not enough medical resources for any remedy for her. Others described their sufferings as their faces resonated with sorrow. An elderly Christian man who could barely walk, was in bad need of knee surgery, but unable to find such help. He was desperately approaching reporters or any foreigners begging them to find him a way to leave the country and arrange for a knee operation. Some of the afflictions were more difficult to bear than others. A wife of a blind Sunni Imam was crying with grief as he was talking about how they lost everything they had during the US occupation of Iraq, including a dignified life back home. Now they are merely refugees with no more possessions, she said. Their mosque was bombed by the Americans, leaving scores dead or wounded. Her husband has lost sight due to the bombing, but narrowly escaped death. As for Iraqis inside Syria, although nearly 1000 persons per day register with the UNHCR, there is still a large number unaccounted for. When they register, they get international relief protection, especially for the vulnerable families. People don't have to register unless they think we can help them, Wilkes said. Yet, in a visit of the UNHCR office in Sayyada Zainab district, most of the Iraqis showed their registration and complained that this paper has made no difference in their situation and they have received no help. Double Displacement A Sunni Imam talked about how they lost everything they had during the US occupation of Iraq, including a dignified life back home. Iraqis are not the only ones suffering as refugees. Palestinians from Iraq have the worse of the conditions among the refugees. Some Iraqis who have made it into Syria are grateful they are not in the Palestinian camps - isolated and without recourses. Although the Palestinian refugees in the camps receive food and tents, they are deprived of all other amenities Iraqis might get. UNHCR's regional public information officer in Syria, Sybella Wilkes, said the situation in the overcrowded Al-Tamp and Al-Waleed makeshift camps, where close to 1400 Palestinian refugees from Iraq stay, is very bad. Al-Tamp camp is in no man's land, while Al-Waleed camp is inside Iraq, but close to the Syrian borders. Children are stranded. No one is allowed to cross the borders. There is deficiency in medical facilities and emergency services. According to Wilkes, there are at least 12 children there who are in need of immediate medical attention or they will face death. Abdul Majeed Alwali and Taleb Ghadi Amin from the ministry of information say that since 1948 all Arab countries agreed that the Palestinians are to go back to Palestine,
Bismillah [IslamCity] Pakistan political situation--Qazi warns against repeat of Nov 3 like situation
Overviews JI Media News World Views Q A JI: 50 Years Leardership Dawah Over Views Isharat The Founder Digest Directory Feed Back Links Site Map Email Update Qazi warns against repeat of Nov 3 like situation LAHORE, Feb 4: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer and MMA president Qazi Hussain Ahmad has warned that country cannot survive Nov.3, 2007 like situation again and there is no room either for any other general to take over since the nation will never accept any further martial law. He was addressing annual convention of Islami Jamiat TAlibat, says a press release by JI information department on Monday. Qazi said the welcome signs given by new COAS when he assured the nation of non-interfere of military in politics and banned army officers from meeting politicians, has now been put under a question mark by caretaker information minister Nisar Memon after he threatened of a Nov. 3 like situation. Qazi said Gen Musharraf took all illegal decisions on Nov 3 in his capacity as COAS and such a situation can only be created again by the COAS. Qazi demanded of the Army leadership and army spokesman to clarify as to how this statement should be perceived and on whose behest Nisar Memon gave such a statement. Qazi warned that if such a situation was created against it would widen the increasing gulf between army and people, creating serious danger of a civil war in the country. Qazi held the previous and present rulers responsible for the power and gas loadshedding besides the atta crisis, accusing them of serving only personal interests and ignoring public welfare and avoiding to make future plans for the people. Qazi expressed sorrow that a small minority of Colonist-trained military and civil bureaucracy has usurped all national resources and made the nation slave of its west dictated policies. He said the bureaucracy is removing national wealth abroad by snatching the share of the poor people. He also warned that fake elections are being staged to keep the people slave of the cruel system. He said APDM has boycotted the elections to change the cruel system and electoral process since without first ridding the country of the representatives of the exploitative classes no free and fair elections are possible. Qazi also condemned Gen Musahrraf for meeting with Israeli defence minister at a time when Israel is unleashing fresh offensives against Palestinians, since his meeting amounted to add insult to their injuries. He said Gen Musharraf indicated to act again as American ally against Muslim nation by discussing Iranian nuclear program with the Israeli minister.
Bismillah [IslamCity] Understand �ISLAM,� Not �Muslimism�
Understand ISLAM, Not Muslimism There are enlightened people and enlightened -like ones in this world in our days... There are intellectual people and intellectual-like ones in this world... There are also shepherds along with sheep who long for being steered. And... There is ISLAM and also, there is people's Muslimism! Enlightened is the one who seeks, finds and knows the truth based on his own objective investigations from true sources. However, enlightened -like ones are those who take advantage of the enlightened ones depending on their capacity to understand and try to take the hat round (get the benefit) by selling them to their surroundings. There are intellectual people in this world... They are free from their cocoons at a certain level, and they try to lead their lives under the guidance of reasonable scientific thought. Also there are intellectual-like ones who like the perspectives of intellectuals' and the way they live. They imitate the intellectuals and take great pains to look like them, trying to wear, eat, drink, speak and act socially like them!.. Enlightened-likes and intellectual-likes are like zircons shining like a diamond to the eyes of suburban people. Their gleam attracts those in the outskirts of towns. But they havent seen and cannot tell the difference between zircons and diamonds. Therefore their goal is only zircons. They are ready to sacrifice nearly all they have so that they may be like them, yet they cannot even be ...-like of them. There are those who love to shepherd as a result of their constitutional (native -fatri) inclinations and endowment they were created with. They strive to govern and rule people, longing for physical or moral satisfaction. They form groups to rule, they issue orders, bring restrictions and prohibitions so that they may satisfy their unrealized subconscious militarist desires. Moreover, there are those who ardently want to be steered or to be a door servant; who prefer to cover up their weaknesses and feel peaceful, as they find safety and protection in such. This is the way it is no matter wherever you are, whether in Turkey or elsewhere in the world! Yet, ALLAH created human beings to be the most honored of all creation, to be Hu's own khaliph on earth! But who has a care in that?.. Yes, both intellectual-likes and enlightened-likes in like manner comment on the peoples Muslimism, that gets around on the tongue of steered-people and that contradicts with logic, reasoning and science in most ways; and stressing on the underdevelopment of the followers of the religion of Muslimism, compared to other world societies, they assume that they are attacking the Deen-i ISLAM in this way. Since they are never aware and conscious of themselves to be not more than yet intellectual-LIKE or enlightened-LIKE ones, they do not know that the Deen-i ISLAM and Muslimism are far different concepts from each other. Neither do they know that one should not even touch the religious issues unless one is aware of such a difference. In point of fact, they leave aside the diamond without recognizing it at all, because of their assumption that the zircon-value perspectives and opinions of those who are desirous either for shepherding or being shepherded, are the fundamental thought system of the Deen-i ISLAM. What else could indeed be expected from such helpless ignorant who consider as the only reference, the melody in the limelight among those who are desirous for steering and who want to be steered!.. Assuming that it is the Deen-i ISLAM, they judge the narrow minded people's Muslimism, in which melodious recitation of a poem (mawlud) and celebration of holy nights with candles are regarded as religious practices (ibadat), head-scarf is regarded as if it were the primary requirement of becoming Muslim for women, and Salaat and fasting were believed to have been ordered to please the heart's desire of the sky god of SkyTurks! They do not understand that their so-called holy(!) poems were only written by people, (as Mawlud by Suleiman Chelebi) and they have no relation with the practices that the Koran al Karim recommends to humans... They cannot tell that litting candles on graves has no relation with the Deen, and only definite nights such as Miraaj, Baraat, Qaadir hide valuable hours within. They have not even heard that there is no such religious festives as Muslim festive of Sugar and Sacrifices, they are only the Eids of Fitr and Hajj! They have not comprehended that such practices mentioned in the Koran al Karim as Salaat, fasting and Hajj (Pilgrimage) have been offered not aimed at pleasing the heart desire of a god in the sky, but were recommended for constructing people's future for their own salvation... The Deen-i ISLAM is a time-free universal System and Order at the sight of ALLAH. It is the origin and the main, and is not distorted by
Bismillah [IslamCity] Defend Aamer Anwar Urgent Campaign Appeal
Original Message - From: SACC news Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 8:32 PM Subject: Defend Aamer Anwar Urgent Campaign Appeal News from Scotland Against Criminalising Communities - SACC (www.sacc.org.uk) Please DON'T REPLY TO THIS EMAIL - use the ADDRESS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MESSAGE - Defend Aamer Anwar Campaign Appeal The campaign to Defend Aamer Anwar needs to raise £2500 to run a full page ad in the Sunday Herald where we will show the amazing number and range of people who are supporting Aamer by signing the open letter. We need to show the Scottish legal establishment how seriously the people of Britain take this case and the precedent that it may set. If you have not yet signed the open letter see how below. We're asking you to help. Please donate whatever you can afford and ask you friends, family, neighbours and work mates to do the same. We are hoping to receive enough donations by Friday 15 February to go ahead with the Sunday Herald ad at the end of February, but donations received after 15 February will be greatly needed as well. Please organise a collection at your workplace, mosque, church, university, college or school. Let people know why it's crucial to defend Aamer Anwar. Explain that the Defend Aamer Anwar campaign is fighting not just to defend this important human rights lawyer, but also to defend the future of the right to freedom of speech in Scotland. Send your donations (make cheques payable to Glasgow Stop the War Coalition) to Stop the War Coalition, Aamer Anwar Campaign, c/o Dave Sherry, TGWU Scottish Housing Branch, 290 Bath Street, Glasgow G42 4LD. In addition to making a donation there are several other things you can do to support the campaign. They are listed below. About the Defend Aamer Anwar Campaign Aamer Anwar is the best known human rights lawyer in Scotland. This is a reputation he has earned for years of dedicated campaigning and defence of refugees, victims of racial discrimination, anti-war and social justice protesters. Aamer Anwar is facing contempt of court proceedings as a result of a statement he made on behalf of his client, Mohammed Atif Siddique, who was convicted in September of so called terrorism offenses primarily relating to information he viewed and obtained on the internet. This is attack on Aamer Anwar is an attack on freedom of speech in Scotland and on the democratic right to speak out against injustice. We must not be silenced in our opposition to any and every aspect of the Bush/Blair/ now Bush/Brown government's so called war on terror and the climate of fear it attempts to whip up to turn us against one another. The date for Aamer Anwar's contempt case has not yet been finalised, but it is most likely to be in late February or March. Many legal professionals are of the opinion that if Aamer if convicted, this will threaten the ability of all Scottish lawyers to speak out and to effectively represent their clients in the future. The Scottish legal magazine The Firm covered the case in its December edition. The Firm is urging readers to write directly to Richard Henderson, the President of the Law Society of Scotland, informing him of their views on Anwar's referral for contempt of court, whether they support the action, or oppose it. REMEMBER CAMPAIGNING WORKS! Judges at the procedural hearing on 7 December acknowledged that public interest made it important for the case to be dealt with in an open way. The more support there is for Aamer Anwar, the fairer the legal process is likely to be. What else can you do? The campaign to defend Aamer Anwar is developing well, but we must continue to broaden and deepen it. A successful campaign is crucial, not just to clear Aamer but the rights of ordinary people and those inside justice system in Scotland to stand up and speak out against injustice. We urgently need your help. Here's what you can do: * Sign the Open Letter to Defend Aamer Anwar - go to www.sacc.org.uk/defendaamer *Ask your MSP/MP to support the Open Letter. If you live outside the UK, please help us to get public figures and lawyers from around the world to sign the Open Letter. *If you know any lawyers in Scotland, ask them to write to the Law Society of Scotland, 26 Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh to express their support for Aamer Anwar, and to demand that the Law Society protests at this attempt to restrict the ability of all lawyers to speak on behalf of their clients (you can write to them yourself if you wish, but please also try to get lawyer friends to do so). * If you are a member of a trade union, please urge your branch to pass a motion and send a donation to support Aamer Anwar.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Sangh Parivar activists arrested for blasts in RSS office
Sangh Parivar activists arrested for blasts in RSS office Submitted by kashif on Tue, 02/05/2008 - 20:35. - Indian Muslim http://www.indianmuslims.info/news/indian_muslim - Crime/Terrorism http://www.indianmuslims.info/news/crime_terrorism By M.H. Jawahirullah The cat is finally out of the bag. In numerous bomb blasts that have taken place in the country, the investigating agencies as well as the media swoop on certain Muslim organisations and brand them as terrorists, who perpetrated the ghastly crime. Irrespective of whether the crime has taken place in a Masjid or Mandir or Market, the same stereotype stories are flashed everywhere. However the Tamilnadu Police have turned the tables and their investigations have turned the tide towards the real perpetrators of such crimes. It has arrested 3 Sangh Parivar activists for triggering blasts in the RSS office at Tenkasi. Tenkasi is a busy town in Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu. Since its location is close to the famous Courtallam waterfalls it attracts a large number of tourists. Hindus belonging to various castes as well as Muslims and Christians have been living in harmony in this town from time immemorial. Tenkasi means Kasi of South. This town has a famous temple called Kasi Viswanathar Temple. Though the local Sangh Parivar outfit called Hindu Munnani has been long objecting to the renovation of the Bazaar Masjid situated very near to the temple, perfect communal harmony has prevailed in this town. Muslims living in this town are basically involved in various kinds of trade. The Sangh parivar elements have been trying to communally polarise this town for a long period of time. However their attempts in the past have become futile. But the killing of Kumara Pandian, an activist of Hindu Munnani in December 2006 disturbed the peaceful atmosphere in Tenkasi. Kumara Pandian was murdered by group of Muslim gangsters out of personal animosity. However the Sangh Parivar elements targeted leading Muslim businessmen as well as Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK) and alleged they were behind the murder. On March 2, 2007, Mohideen Sait Khan the then District President of TMMK and resident of Tenkasi was brutally attacked by Hindu Munnani activists. He suffered grievous injuries in several parts of his body. However he survived the attack. The police arrested a handful of Hindu Munnani activists in this case. *Tenkasi blast accused* Tenkasi was now boiling with communal fervour. On 14th August (just a day before the Independence Day Celebrations) 6 persons (3 Hindus and 3 Muslims) were hacked to death in a fight between two groups. These two groups comprised persons who were charged for the Murder of Kumara Pandian and assault on Mohideen Sait Khan and were out on bail. Police clamped down on both sides and arrested a number of persons from both communities. In the aftermath of these incidents, when Tenkasi was limping back to normalcy just two days before the Republic day, on 24th February, there were bomb blasts in the RSS office in Tenkasi and in the Bus Stand around 9 pm. The media carried big stories about the blasts. The Sangh Parivar organised demonstrations in various parts of the state, demanding the arrest of Muslim 'terrorist', who according to them have committed the crime. However the Tamilnadu Police did not budge like their counterparts in other states. A special team led by Mr. Kannappan, DIG, Tirunelveli range made a thorough investigation and have arrested so far 3 persons S Ravi Pandian (42), a cable TV operator, S Kumar (28), an auto driver, both from Tenkasi, and V Narayana Sharma (26) of Sencottai, all Sangh Parivar activists. The last name accused had assembled 14 pipe bombs in the office of Ravi Pandian. Explosive experts were deployed to probe the blasts at the RSS office and the bus-stand. Earlier it was thought that unidentified persons had hurled crude bombs at these places. But now it has been found that low-intensity 'pipe' bombs had been placed in these areas, a police official told PTI. The power to the area was disconnected before the incident. According to Sanjeev Kumar, IG, South Zone, the bomb blast inside the new bus stand was planned to divert the police investigation. DIG of Police Kannappan said the trio tested the capacity of the bombs at Papanasam before executing the plan. Since the bombs contained substances like ammonium nitrate, electric detonators, batteries and timer devices, the explosion was possible within 30 to 40 seconds, said Kannappan. The Investigation is still going on. The Police said 14 pipe bombs were assembled and the operations began from July last year. The arrested persons have confessed that the trio executed the plan to create a divide between the rival communities and thereby pave way for a backlash and generate sympathy for the family of the four deceased. They have also confessed that in the past they could not generate support from the Hindu community in Tenkasi and
Bismillah [IslamCity] Christian Violence in History
Christian Violence in History The horrible truth is that, numerically and statistically speaking, Christian Civilization is the bloodiest and most violent of all civilizations in all of history, and is responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths. Even so, Muslims do not associate this violence and blood bath with the teachings of Jesus and Bible: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I come not to send peace, but a sword. [Matthew 10:34] Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. [Luke 12:51-2] But those mine enemies which would not that I should reign over them, br ing hither, and slay them before me. [Luke 19:27] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. [Matthew 10:35-6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a br anch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. [John 15:6] And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. [Matthew 26:51] Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem. [Matthew 2:16] For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.' [Matthew 15:4] Slay every man his br other, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. [Exodus 32:27] Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. [Isaiah 13:16] And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. [Numbers 31:7] Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. [1 Samuel 15:3] And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam. [Judges 15:8] Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. [Deuteronomy 13:15] And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. [Numbers 1:51 ] But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. [Deuteronomy 20:17] Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands? [1 Samuel 29:5] Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God. [Deuteronomy 13:8-10] And he br ought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. [1 Chronicles 20:3] But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. [Deuteronomy 20:14] Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women. [Ezekiel 9:5-6] Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. [Numbers 31:17-18] And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain: Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. [Deuteronomy 2:34-35] And he should go and worship other gods and bow down to them or to the sun or the moon or all the army of the heavens, .and you must stone such one with stones and such one must die. [Deuteronomy 17:3-5] All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel , were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Yes, Hitler was a Bible believing Christian!
Yes, Hitler was a Bible believing Christian! http://www.examinethetruth.com/hitler.htm Contrary to popular beliefs, One of the most Evil men of our times, Adolf Hitler was actually a Bible believing Christian. Simply reading his book Mein Kampf sent chills down my spine. Many Christians will vehemently deny this, but they are in clear denial of the historical truths and clear facts. Some, will even go so far as to declare Hitler was an Atheist! In fact, Ann Coulter, a Christian extremist who has made hate filled, bigoted comments towards Islam, stated: this was the approach of all the great mass murderers of the last century -- all of whom were atheists: Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot But not only was Hitler a Christian, but he used Christianity to justify the evil he did against Jews and other people. This is very relevant for today¡¯s time, because this is there are lunatics who are Muslim like Osama Pajama Bin Laden who use Islam to justify their acts of evil. Here are some excerpts from Adolf Hitler¡¯s book, Mein Kamph (italics are ours): http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv1ch02.html Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord. http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv1ch11.html: Concerning the moral value of Jewish religious instruction, there are today and have been at all times rather exhaustive studies (not by Jews; the drivel of the Jews themselves on the subject is, of course, adapted to its purpose) which make this kind of religion seem positively monstrous according to Aryan conceptions. The best characterization is provided by the product of this religious education, the Jew himself. His life is only of this world, and his spirit is inwardly as alien to true Christianity as his nature two thousand years previous was to the great founder of the new doctrine( he is referring to Jesus Christ). Of course, the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took to the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord (John 2:15) this adversary of all humanity, who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present-day party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties-and this against their own nation. Just as the New Testament condemns being of this world, or being materialistic, Hitler shows how the Jews are against True Christianity, and Hitler¡¯s Lord, Jesus Christ, made no secret his attitude towards the Jewish People. http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv2ch01.html: To undermine the existence of human culture by exterminating its founders and custodians would be an execrable crime in the eyes of those who believe that the folk-idea lies at the basis of human existence. Whoever would dare to raise a profane hand against that highest image of God (Genesis 1:27)among His creatures would sin against the bountiful Creator of this marvel and would collaborate in the expulsion from Paradise. http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv1ch11.html: To bring about such a development is, then, nothing else but to sin against the will of the eternal creator. And as a sin this act is rewarded¡ http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv2ch01.html: This is also hurriedly patched on to the whole, should there be any space available for it: until finally it is felt that there are good grounds for hoping that the whole normal host of philistines, including their wives, will have their anxieties laid to rest and will beam with satisfaction once again. And so, internally armed with faith in the goodness of God and the impenetrable stupidity of the electorate, the struggle for what is called 'the reconstruction of the Reich' can now begin. http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv2ch10.html: Everybody who has the right kind of feeling for his country is solemnly bound, each within his own denomination, to see to it that he is not constantly talking about the Will of God merely from the lips but that in actual fact he fulfils the Will of God and does not allow God's handiwork to be debased. For it was by the Will of God that men were made of a certain bodily shape, were given their natures and their faculties. Whoever destroys His work wages war against God's Creation and God's Will. Therefore everyone should endeavour, each in his own denomination of course, and should consider it as.. http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv2ch06.html: If these people try to disparage the importance of the spoken word today, they do it only because they realize ¨C God be praised and thanked ¨C how futile all

Bismillah [IslamCity] Thought for the day
Courage
Courage is to take a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution
in mind, but yet feeling that victory is ahead. It is going empty handed, but
knowing that God's hand is stretched out to pull you.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Economic strength of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz
From: brother_farrukh Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:26:21 - Subject: Economic strength of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz Peace be upon you, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz was an Umayyad Caliph who ruled between 717 and 720 AD. One year when the zakah (2.5% of income collected for the poor) was collected and brought to the treasury, there was a vast sum of money. Caliph Umar ordered for it to be distributes among the poor people but after distributing it, most of the money was still there as poverty was non existent in Muslims countries during this period. So he ordered that the money be spent on strengthening the Muslim army but his men informed him that the army was in an excellent condition and didn't need any more money. So he ordered that the money be used to pay off the debts of Muslims but after paying off all the debts, there was still a lot of money left! So he ordered that the money be used to pay off the debts of non-Muslims debts, but still there was lots of money left. So he ordered that the money be used to help the young marry. Even still, money remained. So he ordered that grains be bought with this money then placed on the top of the mountains so birds could eat from the Muslims welfare! May Allah Almighty have mercy and grant us all that which is better for us so that we may succeed in this life and the next, amen! fi amanillah, wa salam, f ABDUL WAHID OSMAN BELAL
Bismillah [IslamCity] Obama: Will of God Should not influence the laws of your country
Barack Obama said below: The Arab governments need to embrace democracy, not theocracy. When you allow the will of God to influence the laws of your country, you will not win the support of the US It is surprising that he said that to the Palestinians. Knowing just a little history would make Obama realize just how foolish he appears to the Palestinians for this and other comments made below. If he had said something like that about the many monarchies, un-Islamic governments in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, etc then he would be making sense and we would be in full agreement. For hundreds of years Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in peace and prosperity under Sharia the will of God rule in Palestine. Muslims ruled using Islamic precepts and peace and prosperity reigned for several centuries after the Crusades in the land of Palestine. It was not until the coming of the racist Zionists out of Europe, beginning in the 1890s, that havoc and turmoil came to Palestine. Today the original Jews, Christians and Muslims of Palestine are still in peace and harmony united against the invading Zionists. That alone is testimony to how successful the will of God rule has been for the people of different religions in Palestine. While loudly criticizing Muslims for wanting a theocracy, Obama is mute about Gods chosen people building a nation based on Jewish racism and claims to land given to them by God. Typical double standard portrayed by American politicians when it comes to anything affecting Jews and Israel. It is sad and pitiful to see the total capitulation of American politicians to Jewish causes and interests, it is even worst to see those who are supposed to be worshipping Allah only, give blind, unreasoning support to one groveling at Jewish feet.Check out the link below for the full story: http://www.palsolidarity.org/main/2006/01/15/an-invitation-for-barak-obama/ An Invitation for Barak Obama The Arab governments need to embrace democracy, not theocracy. When you allow the will of God to influence the laws of your country, you will not win the support of the US. (What about Israel claiming they have the God given right to rule this land?) The Arab governments need to renounce violence against civilians. (What about 1,000, 000 dead Iraqis, were all of those people terrorists, Baathists, foreign fighters or were some of them civilians?) The US is opposed to theocracy and terrorism and if the Arab governments want to create a paradigm shift, they need to address these concerns of ours. So then I asked him, You say the US is opposed to theocracy and terrorism, how can you explain to the Palestinian people how the US can be opposed to these things but still supports a state that has racist, oppressive, unjust and apartheid policies. And do you see how this paints an inconsistent picture to the people of the Middle East? He began his answer by saying he would not accept the assumptions I made and therefor was not going to address that part of my question. He said he could understand the Palestinian view that the policies of the US were one sided but he said the relationship with Israel was not going to change.
