An Israeli-victim...where is the blood ???
and also why then ,
 even the ambulance  too ?? (far right)







When Gaza was respecting a
 six months
 cease-fire
Israel was still holding its 24 months starvation-siege , non-stop.

When ships were carrying fresh weapons to Israel
food-and-medicament's bound to Gaza were prohibited .

When Israel was selling mini-nuclear-electrical-plants abroad
Gaza children were doing their
 home-work using a candle light.

When Gaza people had to smuggle their Aspirin and their anti-biotics
Israel was milking Wall-Streetand forbidding Baby-Milk to Gaza

When the Raffah border passage to Egypt was closed
the Cairo Palaces opened their doors to Abbas and to Livni .


When an Israeli-official is being

Pirates Of The Mediterranean

By Yvonne Ridley

December 31, 2008 Information Clearinghouse --- - NOT content with committing 
war crimes and human rights atrocities in full view of the world, Israel has 
now confirmed itself as a rogue state by launching into international piracy.

Barely had dawn broke over the Mediterranean waters in which the SS Dignity was 
sailing when an Israeli naval gunboat rammed the aid-bearing ship.
The act of aggression on a peace mission was launched in international waters 
90 miles off Gaza, without any warning to the captain of the Dignity or the 
crew.
Israel claimed the incident was an accident and that its naval officers had 
made numerous attempts to communicate with the Dignity.

Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told AFP press agency that the 
naval vessel tried to contact the aid boat by radio for identification and to 
inform it that it could not enter Gaza.

After the boat did not answer the radio, it sharply veered and the two vessels 
collided, causing only light damage, Palmor said.

I wonder how many traffic cops around the world have heard that line from a 
drunken or reckless driver in the wake of a crash.

The Israeli spokesman then went on to accuse the international activists of 
seeking provocation more than ever. Isn’t it amazing how Yigal and Co 
suddenly go belly up and adopt a victim mentality.

I wonder how he will react to the news that onboard the ship, among the cargo 
of much-needed medical supplies and humanitarian aid were TV crews from CNN and 
Al Jazeera as well as other media.

For goodness sake, the Dignity was on a peace mission, armed with nothing more 
than humanitarian aid - hardly a match for the tooled up, hi-tech Israeli Navy 
and its deadly arsenal.

Sorry to be so direct, but Palmor is a purveyor of deceit, a liar - and a very 
unconvincing one at that. You see all sea-faring people know that there is a 
certain radio channel and frequency which remains open 24 hours a day.

I know myself, because the Israeli Navy used that exact same frequency on one 
of the two Free Gaza boats as they set sail back in August 2008 to break the 
siege of Gaza by sea. That emergency frequency carried messages of threats and 
intimidation as clear as a bell.

Radio communications were used without any difficulty on the Israeli Navy 
several times by human rights activists from the Free Gaza Movement warning the 
gunboats to back off when they fired at Gazan fishermen. The westerners were on 
the tiny fishing ships to stop the naval bully boys terrorise the unarmed 
fishermen.
And by the way, what the hell is Israel up to by banning or trying to prevent 
boats from entering20waters not in its territory? This is the Mediterranean. 
Just when did Israel assume complete authority of the Med?

It is also worth pointing out that SS Dignity was clearly flying the flag of 
Gibraltar, and was piloted by an English captain with a passenger list 
including revered politician Cynthia McKinney from the US. The Israeli 
Government Press Office director was faxed the entire passenger list and press 
release shortly after Dignity set sail.

Cynthia is a former Congresswoman from Georgia, and the 2008 Green Party US 
presidential candidate. She was travelling to Gaza to assess the ongoing 
conflict. 
I know her and I can tell you she is one sassy lady. If the Israel Navy thinks 
this little incident is going to sink without trace then they truly are in for 
one rude awakening.

She was joined by another woman of substance, Dr. Elena Theoharous, MP who is a 
surgeon and a Member of the Cypriot Parliament. She was going to Gaza to assess 
the ongoing conflict, assist with humanitarian relief efforts, and volunteer in 
hospitals.

Furthermore, the attack was filmed by the journalists, and crew and passengers 
and no doubt we will see the full extent of that footage and the damage caused 
by Israel.

Of course Israel is always using the “Oo-er, sorry it was an accident” routine. 
That’s the excuse the Zionist State used when it hit the USS Liberty on June 8, 
1967 with a flurry of bombs, murdering 34 American servicemen in cold blood. In 
the 40 years since, those with the blood of those shipmates on their hands have 
gotten away with murder.

But try as they might to rewrite what happened onboard the Dignity and the 
Liberty, there are some memories which will not die. And what Israel has done 
to Gaza in the last few days will become an epitaph for the Zionist State.

Today’s piracy just underlines the fact that no one in the international 
community 

Bismillah [IslamCity] Israel's failure to learn

2009-01-04 Thread Abhiyya



The most plausible theory, however, is that reported by the Haaretz, which 
states Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has been planning this operation, 
known as Operation Cast Lead, into the Gaza strip well over six months. Those 
six months of relative peace were used by the IDF for information gathering, in 
order to understand Hamas’s security infrastructure completely and destroy it 
when ready.
 
Israel's failure to learn



 By Nir Rosen
 









When George Bush, the US president, first entered the White House as the 
commander-in-chief in 2001, Palestinians were being killed in the al-Aqsa 
intifada. Eight years later, as Bush prepares to leave office, Israel is 
carrying out one of the largest massacres in its 60-year occupation of 
Palestine. The US, then and now, strongly backs Israel's offensive, justifying 
it as being, in fact, defensive.
 
An Israeli general recently threatened to use military force to set Gaza back 
decades in much the same language used before the invasion of Lebanon in 
2006. But despite the Israeli devastation of Lebanon, Hezbollah emerged 
victorious and the Shia resistance and social movement emerged a hero to the 
Arab world.
Israel is about to make the same mistake with Hamas.
 
Its notion of a truce with Hamas was that the Palestinians would quietly accept 
the siege. Israel would deny them the basic means of survival, let alone the 
basic means to create a functioning society. If the Palestinians attempted to 
resist, they would be crushed. As in Lebanon, Israel should have learned years 
ago that military might cannot crush Palestinian resistance movements.
 
Media matters
 
While the Israeli military again bombs the starving and imprisoned population 
of 1.5 million Gazans, the world watches their plight live as Western media 
scrambles to explain and, in some cases, justify the ongoing carnage.
Even some Arab outlets have attempted to equate Palestinian resistance - and 
homemade rockets - with the might of the Israeli military machine. However, 
none of this is a surprise; the Israelis just concluded a global public 
relations campaign to gather support for their assault, even gaining the 
collaboration of some Arab states.
 
An American periodical once asked me to contribute to a discussion on whether 
terrorism or attacks against civilians could ever be justified. My answer was 
that an American journal should not be asking whether attacks on civilians can 
ever be justified. This is a question for the weak, such as the Native 
Americans 150 years ago, the Jews in Nazi Germany, and the Palestinians today, 
to answer.
 
Terrorism is a normative term which is used to describe what the 'other' does, 
not what 'we' do.
Powerful nations such as Israel, the US, Russia or China will always describe 
their victims' struggle as terrorism. However, they fail to acknowledge as acts 
of terror the destruction of Chechnya, the slow slaughter of the remaining 
Palestinians, the repression of Tibetans, and the US occupation of Iraq and 
Afghanistan. Normative rules and what is legal and permissible are determined 
by the powerful. They formulate the concept of terrorism in normative terms and 
make it appear as if a neutral court derived such definitions instead of the 
oppressors.
 
For the weak to resist becomes illegal by definition. This excessive use of 
legal jargon actually undermines the fundamentals of what is truly legal and 
diminishes the credibility of international institutions such as the UN. The 
law becomes the enemy of those who struggle. It becomes apparent that the 
powerful - those who make the rules - insist on legality merely to preserve the 
power relations that serve them or to maintain their occupation and colonialism.
 
Desperate resistance
 
Colonial powers use civilians strategically, settling them to claim land and 
dispossess the natives, be they indigenous populations in North America or 
Palestinians in what are today Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 
Attacking civilians, then, becomes the last, most desperate and basic method of 
resistance in the face of overwhelming odds and imminent eradication.
 
The Palestinians do not attack Israeli civilians with the expectation that such 
violence will destroy or defeat Israel. When the native population understands 
that there is an irreversible dynamic stripping them of their land and identity 
with the support of an overwhelming power then they are forced to resort to 
whatever methods of resistance they can muster.
 
PLO, then Hamas
In 1948, when Israel was being established as a new state, 750,000 Palestinians 
were deliberately cleansed and expelled from their homes, and hundreds of their 
villages were destroyed. Their lands were settled by colonists who even today 
deny their very existence and wage a 60-year war against the remaining natives 
and the national liberation movements the Palestinians established around the 
world.

We ask that the media, Muslim and non-Muslim  take 
responsibility for truth and cease spreading the erroneous Israeli propaganda 
that this lop sided massacre is in response to Palestinians firing missiles 
into 
Israel which caused no Israeli casualties during the cease fire. As revealed by 
Israeli government officials and their own documents, this massacre of the 
inhabitants in Gaza is something the Israeli government has been deliberately 
planning for more than six months.


“While the Western media remains silent and complicit, the
Israeli Press (Haaretz) reveals the unspoken truth: the careful
planning of a military operation entitled Cast Lead coupled with a media 
disinformation and diplomatic
campaign. What we are witnessing is genocide. Let us be under no
illusions, this operation was implemented with the knowledge and approval of
Israeli's allies. 

“Long-term planning, meticulous intelligence- gathering, secret discussions,
visual deception tactics, and disinformation preceded operation Cast
Lead which the Israel Air Force launched yesterday in Gaza to take out
Hamas targets in the Strip.”

Egypt tycoon plans new TV stations against radicals

 Alaa Shahine, Reuters - Egypt
Tuesday, November 6, 2007

Nov 6 (Reuters) - Egyptian billionaire and telecoms tycoon Naguib Sawiris plans 
to launch new television channels to counter what he describes as increasing 
social and religious conservatism in the Arab Muslim country.

Sawiris, a Coptic Christian with a $10 billion fortune according to Forbes 
magazine, said he would launch a movie channel early in 2008 followed by an 
all-news station. He already owns OTV, a 24-hour entertainment channel.

Speaking at a dinner for journalists late on Monday, Sawiris said he was 
disturbed by the rising number of women wearing the Islamic headscarf.

I am not against the headscarf because then I would be against personal 
freedoms, he said. But when I walk in the street now I feel like I am in 
Iran... I feel like a stranger.

Women in the Islamic Republic of Iran are obliged by law to cover their hair 
and wear long, loose-fitting clothes to disguise their figures.

Egypt, a country dominated by Sunni Muslims, has seen a rise in religious 
conservatism since the 1990s. The majority of women wear headscarves in public.

Some sociologists attribute this to the influence of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf 
states, where millions of Egyptians have worked and lived since the 1970s.

Sawiris, who says he opposes radical Muslims and Christians alike, said his OTV 
channel has sought to counter the high dosage of religious and conservative 
programming on other channels by offering light shows targeting young people, 
along with uncensored Arab and foreign movies.


BEYOND THE LIMITS

If a movie is beyond the limits of the customs and traditions it wont be 
broadcast, he said. But if a movie is shown, it will not be censored.

Most television channels in Egypt and the Arab world cut sexual scenes in 
movies and restrict offensive language.

Sawiriss comments are likely to anger Islamists in Egypt, including the Muslim 
Brotherhood opposition group, which pushed unsuccessfully last year to oust 
Culture Minister Farouk Hosni for saying wearing the headscarf was a step 
backwards.

The Egyptian billionaire, who owns a stake in Egypts popular daily newspaper 
Al Masry Al Youm, launched a scathing attack on the Brotherhood, which insists 
that non-Muslims and women are ineligible to run for the countrys presidency.

To hell with them, he said. Not a single Christian is waiting for their 
permission. God is just. God does not discriminate between people.

Sawiris, chairman of Orascom Telecom, the fourth largest Arab mobile phone 
operator by market value, is not known to have any political ambitions and has 
rarely expressed his political opinions in public.

Independent media have challenged the dominance of state-run Egyptian press and 
television, which for decades has dictated what the public could read, watch or 
listen to. Privately-owned newspapers have pushed the boundaries in political 
reporting, attacking President Hosni Mubarak and his family. Private 
television, however, does not enjoy the same liberties.

http://www.mafhoum.com/press10/310C36.htm





COMMENTS:

If this ungrateful Christian is disturbed by Muslim women wearing the Islamic 
headscarf and if he feels like he is in Iran and he feels like a stranger 
when he walks in the streets among Egyptians, who made him a billionaire, why 
doesn't he move to London or Paris or New York or even to Hell, where he will 
not see so many scarves.

Of course he will not do that because his intention is to spread vice and sin 
in Muslim Egypt as foreign Christian Evangelists and missionary groups have 
been doing in the Muslim World for centuries.

He is openly challenging Muslims and declaring war on Islaam from inside Egypt. 
The enemies of Islaam are challenging Muslims and attacking Islaam in the land 
of Islaam, while they live, breath the air, eat, sleep in peace and get rich 
among Muslims!

Bismillah [IslamCity] PUNISHMENT FOR THE ONE WHO TURNS HIS BACK DURING BATTLE

2009-01-04 Thread Aqsa Jihad Fisabeelillah *
Bismillah Hir Rahmaan Nir raheem
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu
 
THE SEVERE PUNISHMENT FOR THE ONE WHO TURNS HIS BACK DURING BATTLE:
Allah say:
“O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve advancing [for 
battle], do not turn to them your backs. And whoever turns his back to them on 
such a day, unless swerving [as a strategy] for war or joining [another] 
company, has certainly returned with anger from Allah, and his refuge is Hell – 
and wretched is the destination”284
Know that turning one’s back in battle is a major sin with the consensus of 
scholars and the one who does it deserves the wrath of Allah and his severe 
punishment.
Abu Hurairah narrated: The Messenger of Allah said: “Stay away from the seven 
destroyers of your deeds: Associating another deity with Allah, sorcery, 
murder, usurping the wealth of an orphan, dealing with interest, turning one’s 
back during battle, and accusing the chaste with adultery or fornication.”285
If jihad is a collective duty, it becomes an individual duty when the armies’ 
meet and turning one’s back becomes prohibited. The only exceptions are:
1. If the size of the enemy’s army is more than twice that of the Muslims.
2. Swerving to take a new position.
3. Retreating to join another company of Muslims
4. Being incapacitated due to illness or having no access to a weapon
Allah says:
“If there are among you twenty steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And 
if there are among you one hundred steadfast, they will overcome a thousand of 
those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand. Now 
Allah has lightened [the hardship] for you, and He knows that among you is 
weakness. So if there are from you one hundred steadfast, they will overcome 
two hundred. And if there are among you a thousand, they will overcome two 
thousand by
284 (al Anfal 15-16)
285 (Bukhari – Muslim)
 
the permission of Allah. And Allah is with the steadfast.”286
Ibn Al Mubarak narrated that Ibn Abbas said: If one man runs away from three, 
he hasn’t turned his back in battle. If he runs from two then he has turned his 
back in battle.
Al Qurtubi in his Tafseer: As long as the enemy is more than twice the number 
of Muslims they can retreat but being steadfast and fighting is better. In the 
battle of Mutah the Muslims with only 3000 faced the Roman army of 200,000 
Roman soldiers and 100,000 Arab soldiers. It is also mentioned that when Tariq 
opening al Andalusia he had only 1700 soldiers while his enemy was 70,000 strong
Imam Malik was asked about a Muslim facing ten enemy soldiers, should he fight 
them or retreat? He said: Both options are allowed for him.
The Messenger of Allah said: “An army of twelve thousand would never be 
defeated due to fewness”287
Most of the scholars consider this hadith to be an exception from the rule set 
by the verse that as long as the enemy is more than twice your number you can 
retreat.288
286 (Al Anfal 65-66)
 
287 (Abu Dawud – al Sunan al Kubra – Tirmithi - Darimi – al Hakim)
288 [The scholars say that this rules applies to armies less than 12,000 in 
number. However, if the Muslim army is 12,000 or more then they cannot turn 
there backs no matter how large the enemy’s army is.]
 
 



Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth

knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from 
the state of those who go to Hell.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Hijab-officer who became a role model...

2009-01-04 Thread Hafiz Ayaz Ali Qureshi

Hijab-officer who became a role model
The police constable, Rukshana Begum (24) is the woman who has the credit for 
the hijab now being part of the police uniform in parts of England. But in the 
whole of the nation, there are only 10 police officers who wear the hijab at 
work.
 

 

Rukshana Begum completed her police training in 2003, but it was not before the 
end of 2006 that she seriously started to think about wearing the hijab. She 
aired the idea with her boss. In the little police district of Cambridgeshire, 
with 2900 employees, a specially-made hijab for police officers was made, 
authorized and launched.
 

«That the policeforce went as far as incorporating the hijab in the standard 
uniform was quiet touching,» says Rukshana Begum, two years later. The 24-year 
old is born and raised in Cambridge, with parents from Bangladesh. She has been 
a follower of Islam all her life.
 

Norwegian case
In Norway, the Ministry of Police is in the process of deciding their stance on 
whether the muslim head-wear whould be allowed together with the police 
uniform. The matter is being considered after Aftenbladet on 25th September 
wrote about the muslim woman, Keltoum Hasnaoui Missoum from Sandnes, who wanted 
to apply to the Police Academy. Missoum wanted to wear the hijab, but was 
denied... The reason: The police uniform should be one of value-neutrality. 
Rukshana Begum does not agree with the argument.
 
No to neutrality
«Neutrality is a good thing, but I don't think anyone should have to limit 
themselves when it comes to practising their faith. For many, faith is more 
important than everything else. So I disagree with that statement. Here in 
Cambridgeshire, several police officers where a turban, and that has never been 
a problem.
 

The police there says that Cambridgeshire is a country area of England, with 
many nationalities and few religious conflicts. The proportion of muslims in 
the police district is on a par with the national average of 3.3 per cent of 
the population.
 

Role model
When Begum started to wear the uniform-hijab, she received press coverage. 
People soon started recognizing her. She received words of support, especially 
from the muslim community. «I was not prepared for that. The only thing I 
wanted was to be able to wear the hijab at work, but I was suddenly a role 
model for others. That was a nice bi-product.
 

Only ten wear the hijab
Even so, few have chosen to follow in Begum's footsteps. Cambridgeshire 
launched the specially adapted hijab in June 2007. Metropolitan Police in 
London authorized the use of the hijab ten years ago, but has not incorporated 
a special uniform hijab. At present, there are only ten women police officers 
who use the hijab at work in the whole of England, according to the Association 
of Muslim Police (AMP) of the London police. There are no reliable statistics 
on the number of women police officers in England.
 

No negative experiences
Keltoum Hasnaoui Missoum from Sandnes experienced harassment after she went to 
the press with her uniform question. Begum has never met anything like that – 
even as a patroling police officer. «In general it's always been a positive 
experience: The hijab means that you show who you are sooner. No, I haven't 
experienced anything verbal, or any kind of expressions that make me feel 
uncomfortable.»
 

Breaks barriers
« Have you experienced positive things as a result of showing who you are?»

«It has happened when patroling that people talk to me, rather than my 
colleague. That's not because I'm better at what I do, but because they feel 
there is a connection between us.»
 

«People who come to live here may have bad experiences with the police in their 
homeland. Seeing a muslim woman as a police officer may help to break 
barriers.. If they are the victims of crime , it might be easier for them to 
report it, I think,» says Begum.
 

Oppression
One argument used in the debate is that the use of the hijab is thought by many 
to be a demand on women in islam, and this means that it should be viewed 
differently than the wearing of a cross around the neck.

«The hijab is not like a necklace I can take off. When you first start to wear 
it, it's for life,» says Begum. «Should the police refrain from using a garment 
that many associate with the oppression of women?»
 

«No, I don't see that as a problem. I don't understand how people can say that 
women are oppressed. With the hijab, I feel respected and dignified, but not in 
a snobby way. With the hijab, you are protected from evil, and I feel safe and 
free. If you let people oppress you, you will probably be oppressed.»
 

Adapted work-day
Cambridgeshire police district has implemented several measures for muslim 
officers. The police station has a quiet room for those who want to pray, 
offers shift changes during Ramadan so that fasting officers do not need to 
work evenings, and half an hour extra for lunch on Fridays, for those who want

Islam has a lunar based calendar with 354.367 days {354 days plus eight hours 
plus 48.5 minutes}.  The New Year date also changes every year as the Islamic 
Calendar is 11 days shorter than the solar calendar.  During the second 
caliphate of 'Hadrat Umar ul-Faaruuq {raziallaahu ta'aalaa anhu}, the first day 
of the month of Muharram of that year, which was sixty-six days before the 
Hijrat, became the beginning of the Muslims' HIJRII KAMARII CALENDAR.  Islamic 
New Year is celebrated on the first day of Muharram {first Islamic month}.  The 
word Muharram also means respect.   It is more of a cultural event than a New 
Year celebration.



It is Sunna to fast on Ninth {9th} and Tenth {10th} days of Muharram and It's 
Makruuh to fast only on Tenth {10th} day of Muharram.



All Muslims welcome the New Year with peace and prayers.



May Allaahu ta'aalaa have us all keep to the right path shown by the scholars 
of Ahl as-Sunna!



May he protect us from believing in the false, deceitful, insidious lies of the 
enemies of Islam and of the non-madhhabii people using the name `great scholar

A THOUGHT 
SEEK A CURE
 
 O man of double vision, hearken with attention: 
Seek a cure for your defective sight by listening. Many are the holy words that 
find no entrance into blind hearts, but they enter hearts full of light. But 
the deceits of Satan enter crooked hearts, even as crooked shoes fit crooked 
feet. Though you repeat pious expressions again and again, if you are a fool, 
they affect you not at all. Nay, not [even] though you set them down in 
writing, and [even] though you proclaim them vauntingly. Wisdom averts its face 
from you, O man of sin, wisdom breaks away from you and takes to flight!

Bismillah [IslamCity] The Tragedy of Indian Muslims

2009-01-04 Thread Shahid

The Tragedy of Indian Muslims
by Areeba Ali (indian newspaper feature writer)


The point that I am trying to make is not the demonizing of Muslims in Indian 
movies...but the rather tragic image that Non-Muslims in India (Hindus, Sikhs 
and Jains) have of Muslims.

Yesterday, I watched the Indian movie 'Tere Naam'- a tragic love story where 
two people deeply in love with each other couldn't 'live happily ever after' 
because the girl commits suicide. The hit film starred popular actor Salman 
Khan.

The girl in the film commits suicide and the boy is beaten up by some goons. As 
a result his brain is badly damaged and he becomes 'mad'. The doctors try hard 
to get him back to his normal self but to no avail. The boy's family, in a 
desperate effort to treat him, sends him to an ashram where he is in the 
custody of some priests. But actually, all hope dies and the family believes 
that their boy isn't going to get well and has become a permanent vegetable. 
The girl, because of this unfortunate reality and because of her love for him, 
commits suicide (so that she isn't married to another man). The saddest part is 
that the boy actually recovers after her death. But seeing that girl he loved 
so much is no longer alive, he decides to spend the rest of his life in the 
ashram.

The goons who had beaten up the boy in the movie were shown to be Muslims (they 
are shown wearing the traditional skullcaps and Arabian red-checked scarves) 
who abduct or lure Hindu Brahmin women into prostitution.

The point that I am trying to make is not the demonizing of Muslims in Indian 
movies...but the rather tragic image that Non-Muslims in India (Hindus, Sikhs 
and Jains) have of Muslims.

I had lived for the first time in my life in a hostel in Delhi where I was the 
only Muslim girl among Hindu girls. The hostel was situated in a very posh 
locality of Delhi and


  After 9/11, when USA launched the war on terrorism and began its 
offensive in Afghanistan, the girls in my hostel were celebrating. Their faces 
were blossoming with happiness and glee.




the girls were from educated well-to-do families. I had stayed there from July 
2001-June 2002. During that period, 9/11 and then the Godhra train carnage (Feb 
2002) had taken place.

After 9/11, when USA launched the war on terrorism and began its offensive in 
Afghanistan, the girls in my hostel were celebrating. Their faces were 
blossoming with happiness and glee. My hostel warden (who was our two-years 
senior) even said 'Ab to Islam down ho jayega ('Now Islam will go down'). When 
the first reports of Afghan civilian casualties came in newspapers, the girls 
would say 'Bas,itne hi log mare?'('Only these many people died?'). When I 
countered that Afghans are also humans and are innocent, they shot back 'Nobody 
is innocent in Afghanistan' and 'Why are they living in that country...they 
should have left long ago. It's their fault that they are living there and are 
thus being attacked'. One girl was so pathetically ignorant, she said.' America 
is not killing anybody in Afghanistan'.

But all this didn't hurt me much. I actually expected such reactions. What 
really hurt me was what happened between February 2002- May 2002. It made me 
decide to leave the hostel and move to a Muslim-dominated area.

On February 27th, I was out the whole day and had not watched or read news. At 
night, I got an SMS from my dad, which said 'Keep a low profile'. I was 
puzzled. I called him up. He told me to watch the news on TV and not to go out 
anywhere except to college. I had gone to the mess after the phone call, to 
watch TV. Nobody was there. I put on Star News. And I saw that it had begun- 
the genocide of Muslims in Gujarat.

A wave of


  I visited the websites of Hindu terrorist organizations (though 
they aren't deemed 'terrorist' in India) like Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu 
Parishad and Rashtriya Swamsevak Sangh.




massacre began after Muslims allegedly burned 58 Hindus alive in a train at 
Godhra in Gujarat (which later proved to be false). More than 2000 Muslims were 
killed and tens of thousands left homeless and turned into refugees in their 
own country. And the worst victims of the genocide were Muslim women---they 
were stripped and paraded naked, gang-raped, their fetuses were burned alive in 
front of them.

For the first time in my life, I had stopped reading the newspapers. I couldn't 
read all that was happening. Television was of course, a no-no at that time.

And what actually moved me to tears is that my Hindu friends justified the 
genocide. Every hour of the day,  they would taunt me. They would say your 
Muslim brothers abduct Hindu women and rape them, so they deserve the same. I 
would try to explain them. But I was one. And they were around 30. I was 
defenseless. And they were an army. They wouldn't listen.

I had gone on a hunt for a new home in a Muslim-dominated area of Delhi. And 
luckily, found a really good

happiness it is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. Happiness is 
the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and 
meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. 
Happiness is an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the sagging spirits 
of people. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways 
to appreciate themselves and to see the humour and magic in each moment.

Bismillah [IslamCity] why Gaza and why now ??

 the devil and the devil's advocate.
 
 
 
 
 
Gazza is not the solution ,
nor is Gazza the problem , today nor ever.
 
 


Gazza is simply today's Chosen-Victim
because they are all Palestinians
because they are Arabs
because they said ''No'' to Zionism
 
 
 
 
On a bicycle,  you could cross Gazza
from South to North ,in 3 hours,only
and from East to the sea (west) in 25 minutes.
 
In a Helicopter ,
once you rise up to 150 meters
you can see the other end of Gazza.
 
 
Gazza is the biggest-starved-prison
in the World
and thus it could never be a threat  to anyone.
Except , being a threat to the human-consciences.
 
 
Israel is not re-invading Gazza
''for its own safety''
but rather , it does it again
just to delay any future-Peace-settlement
for another decade.
Or even just to delay
any future-peace-negotiations
for another decade.
 
 
Israel is only buying for itself time,
in the absence any future prospects.
because,
the state of Israel has burned out !!
and Gazza pays now the price .

Bismillah [IslamCity] Excellence of Fasting on 9th 10th Muharram

2009-01-04 Thread Hadith Share
Abu Qatadah ( Radhiallaho anha ) reported : The Messenger of Allah ( 
Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam ) was asked about observing As-Saum ( the fast ) 
on the tenth day of Muharram, and he replied, “It is an expiation for the sins 
of the preceding year. 

[ Muslim ] 


Ibn Abbas ( Radhiallaho anha ) reported : The Messenger of Allah ( Sallallaahu 
'alaihi wasallam ) said, “If I remain alive till the next year, I shall also 
observe fast on the ninth of Muharram. 

[ Muslim ] 


Commentary: 
Some people think these words stand to mean that `he will observe Saum on the 
9th of Muharram only. But this interpretation does not agree with other 
Ahadith. In order to oppose the Jews, he (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 
resolved to observe one more Saum (9th of Muharram) with that of 10th of 
Muharram and ordained it for the Muslims. 



Please forward this Hadith to your relatives  friends and may Allah SWT reward 
you.

then, how could they bomb any place which does not have an army??
Like Gazza for example which has no army and hardly any police force.

it is when Israel bombed 5 civilians and even showed us that bombing-film
