Dear Ahmed,
 
Yes this is an authentic Hadeez and it is better to add a personal note in 
block Capitals stating that  By  Allah's grace many will be pardoned and taken 
to Jennath in order not to dishearten ummah. Laymen will think that what is 
the use if 999 out of 1000 is going to hell. Am I correct?

Out of 1000, 999 will go to hell ?

Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 76 :: Hadith 536 Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet 
said, The first man to be called on the Day of Resurrection will be Adam who 
will be shown his offspring, and it will be said to them, 'This is your father, 
Adam.' Adam will say (responding to the call), 'Labbaik and Sa'daik' Then Allah 
will say (to Adam), 'Take out of your offspring, the people of Hell.' Adam will 
say, 'O Lord, how many should I take out?' Allah will say, 'Take out 
ninety-nine out of every hundred. They (the Prophet's companions) said, O 
Allah's Apostle! If ninety-nine out of every one hundred of us are taken away, 
what will remain out of us? He said, My followers in comparison to the other 
nations are like a white hair on a black ox.

Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 265 Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The 
Prophet said, On the day of Resurrection Allah will say, 'O Adam!' Adam will 
reply, 'Labbaik our Lord, and Sa'daik ' Then there will be a loud call 
(saying), Allah orders you to take from among your offspring a mission for the 
(Hell) Fire.' Adam will say, 'O Lord! Who are the mission for the (Hell) Fire?' 
Allah will say, 'Out of each thousand, take out 999.' At that time every 
pregnant female shall drop her load (have a miscarriage) and a child will have 
grey hair. And you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet not drunk, but 
severe will be the torment of Allah. (22.2) (When the Prophet mentioned this), 
the people were so distressed (and afraid) that their faces got changed (in 
color) whereupon the Prophet said, From Gog and Magog nine-hundred ninety-nine 
will be taken out and one from you. You Muslims (compared to the large number 
of other people) will be like a black
hair on the side of a white ox, or a white hair on the side of a black ox, and 
I hope that you will be one-fourth of the people of Paradise. On that, we 
said, Allahu-Akbar!  Then he said, I hope that you will be) one-third of the 
people of Paradise. We again said, Allahu-Akbar!  Then he said, (I hope 
that you will be) one-half of the people of Paradise. So we said, Allahu 
Akbar.

Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 430 Abu Sa'id reported: The Messenger of Allah (may 
peace be upon him) said: Allah, the High and Glorious, would say: O Adam I and 
he would say: At Thy service, at thy beck and call, O Lord, and the good is in 
Thy Hand. Allah would say: Bring forth the group of (the denizens of) Fire. He 
(Adam) would say: Who are the denizens of Hell? It would be said: They are out 
of every thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It 
is at this juncture that every child would become white-haired and every 
pregnant woman would abort and you would see people in a state of intoxication, 
and they would not be in fact intoxicated but grievous will be the torment of 
Allah. He (the narrator) said: This had a very depressing effect upon them 
(upon the companions of the Holy Prophet) and they said: Messenger of Allah, 
who amongst us would be (that unfortunate) person (who would be doomed to 
Hell)? He said: Good tidings for you,
Yajuj Majuj would be those thousands (who would be the denizens of Hell) and a 
person (selected for Paradise) would be amongst you. He (the narrator) further 
reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is 
thy life, I hope that you would constitute one-fourth of the inhabitants of 
Paradise. We extolled Allah and we glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again 
said: BY Him in Whose Hand is my life, I wish you would constitute one-third of 
the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and Glorified (Him). He (the 
Holy Prophet) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I hope that you 
would constitute half of the inhabitants of Paradise. Your likeness among the 
people is the likeness of a white hair on the skin of a black ox or a strip on 
the foreleg of an ass.

Muslim recorded in his Sahih that Ya`qub bin `Asim bin `Urwah bin Mas`ud

23rd February is World Chechnya Day.
 A day few are aware of and yet none should forget. Read more here


World Chechnya Day is intended to commemorate the dignity and resiliance of a 
people who, against all odds, refused to be erased from existence.

On 23 February 1944, Stalin ordered the deportation of the entire Chechen and 
Ingush population to Central Asia. More than half of the 500,000 people who 
were to be forcibly transported died in transit or in massacres committed by 
Soviet troops. Those who survived the journey were left facing starvation and 
disease in the harsh winters of Siberia and Central Asia.

Within days an entire people had been erased from the land of their ancestors. 
Overnight Chechnya and Ingushetia were emptied of their native inhabitants, and 
every reference to Chechnya was removed from official maps, records and 
encyclopaedias.

In 2004, sixty years after the event, the European Parliament passed a motion 
that recognised this catastrophe as Genocide.

23rd February is World Chechnya Day. It is a day that few are aware of and yet 
none should forget.

As Salaamu Alaikum

Humility grows a little more each time I step away from my own feelings and 
opinions and genuinely listen to the experience of another human being. 
Humility is dedication to the extent that no acknowledgement is sought for the 
self. Only when I have learned to value others no more or less than I value 
myself can I be said to be truly humble.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Jehad and the truth - Book review by A. G. Noorani

2009-02-22 Thread Abhiyya

“Azad gave some of his most eloquent depositions on jehad as Islamic ethics in 
the service of Congress’ anti-colonial politics. The Indian national struggle 
was a jehad because the British were waging a war to exterminate Muslims. If 
Muslims had any spark of faith left in them, they would befriend snakes and 
scorpions rather than make peace with the British government, he asserted. 
Referring to the Prophet’s constitution at Medina, in which Muslims and 
non-Muslims were described as one nation, Azad asked Muslims to perform their 
religious duty by uniting with Hindus.”
 
BOOKS

Jehad and the truth

A.G. NOORANI






A fascinating survey of the evolution of the concept of jehad.




THE HINDU PHOTO ARCHIVES


THE highest form of jehad is to speak the truth in the face of an unjust 
ruler.” This one saying of Prophet Muhammad suffices to demolish the myth about 
jehad, fostered, alike, by the fundamentalists and very many in the West and, 
not to overlook, in India. Ijtihad (reason) is one of the recognised sources of 
Islamic law, the sharia. Ijtihad is jehad of the mind. Jehad means exertion.
Ayesha Jalal renders a service by her erudite study of jehad in Islam; the 
perversion of the concept by the ulema (clergy) in the service of rulers as 
they embarked on military campaigns of imperialist expansion, armed with fatwas 
(rulings) sanctioning them as jehad in the cause of Islam; the invocation of 
jehad in the struggle for freedom from colonial rule; and its cynical revival 
in our times by bodies such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Al Qaeda.
The focus is on South Asia. The author, born in Pakistan, is the Mary 
Richardson Professor of History at Tufts University in the United States. She 
is a highly respected historian of South Asia. Unlike some expatriate scholars, 
including many from India, who act as apologists for their country, Ayesha 
Jalal rightly prides herself on her detachment and objectivity. It would, 
however, be unjust to her work to concentrate on her strictures on the Lashkar 
and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and neglect her thesis, which 
constitutes its core.
It was in the desire to gain a deep understanding of religion as faith that she 
launched her research for the book: “My exploration of the literature on the 
subject immediately brought home to me the intrinsic connection between the 
concept of jehad as endeavour and the Muslim faith. Far from being a passive 
and mindless activity, submission (Islam) assumes dynamic effort and reasoned 
self-control against the personal inclinations and social tendencies preventing 
a believer from heeding God’s commands, and thereby destroying any internal or 
external sense of balance and proportion…. It is commonplace to assert that the 
sacred and the temporal in Islam are inextricably intertwined. However, the 
interplay of ethics and politics in the unfolding of Muslim history has not 
been subjected to critical scrutiny. One way of remedying that oversight is to 
train the spotlight on the much-contested idea of jehad and its practice. To 
what extent was a concept
 that is at the heart of Islamic ethics transformed in shifting historical 
contexts as a consequence of temporal imperatives?”
The author discusses jehad in pre-colonial South Asia: the jehad waged by 
Sayyid Ahmad of Rai Bareilly (1786–1831), jehad in colonial India and as 
anti-colonial nationalism. The last chapter is on the subversion of the concept 
as a justification for terrorism. With her familiarity with the primary sources 
in Urdu, she brings to life the debates conducted by the adherents and the 
critics. Particularly useful for the English reader is her discussion of Sayyid 
Ahmed, who fell in battle at Balakot, about 18 miles (29 kilometres) from 
Manshera in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. Among the first 
militant groups that surfaced in Kashmir in 1989 was Operation Balakot of Azan 
Inquilabi. Such was the hold that Sayyid Ahmed’s example had come to acquire 
over the minds of the jehad-prone. It is, however, to the very first chapter, 
“Jihad as Ethics, Jihad as War”, that the reader must pay particular attention.
Even in the early years of Islam, “some Muslims questioned the application of 
the concept of jehad to wars fought by temporal rulers that had nothing to do 
with struggle for the cause of God. One popular tradition justified the 
reservation. Upon returning from one of the early wars in defence of the newly 
established community, the Prophet Muhammad is said to have told his companions 
that they had come back from waging jehad al-asghar, or the lesser war, to 
fight the jehad al-akbar, or the greater war against those base inner forces 
which prevent man from becoming human in accordance with his primordial and 
God-given nature. This tradition was not included in any of the authoritative 
collections of hadith during the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates, an omission 
that in itself reveals the mindset of the compilers

7 years on, 50,000 riot victims still in relief camps in Gujarat

Submitted by admin4 on 16 February 2009 - 11:39pm.
http://www.twocircles.net/2009feb16/7_years_50_000_riot_victims_still_relief_camps_gujarat.html

By Mumtaz Alam Falahi, TwoCircles.net,
Even seven years after Gujarat 2002 pogrom, 50,000 people are in relief camps, 
state government is sitting on its share of compensation package, 650 religious 
places are awaiting restoration; so situation is far away from being completely 
normal, says Ahmedabad resident and director of Islami Relief Committee of 
Gujarat in an interview with Mumtaz Alam Falahi of TwoCircles.net.
How do you recall the Gujarat 2002 pogrom today after seven years?

By just recalling what happened in the communal riots in those days in Gujarat 
I get frightened. I and my Gandhian friends were very anxious. We wanted to 
help people but were helpless. Those were horrific days of lawlessness and 
mayhem – a nightmare better to forget. In Juhapura area in Ahmedabad 17 Muslims 
were killed and about 500 houses of Muslims were put on fire. A non-Muslim was 
also killed in that area. Juhapura is described as a Muslim ghetto and a mini 
Pakistan, yet the destruction there was one-sided.






The pogrom had vertically divided the society on communal lines. How are the 
present relations between Hindus and Muslims?
Situation is getting normal as in some matters human beings are bound to have 
interaction with each other. But what should have been done for complete 
normalization of the situation has not yet been done. Of 1.5 lakh people 
uprooted during the pogrom, around two-third are still not in position to 
return to their homes. About 50,000 people are still living in relief camps and 
there has been no proper arrangement for their rehabilitation. About 650 
religious places were destroyed or desecrated but the government has not done 
anything to restore them. The central government has given its share of the 
compensation package for the riot victims but the state government is silent 
about its share. This hostile approach of the state government towards the 
Muslim community is keeping the situation from getting completely normal. Had 
these things been done, people would have forgot their wounds.
How common Hindus and common Muslims take each other in common places like in 
buses or trains?
Not much hostile situation there. But fear still persists. Hindus and Muslims 
do not prefer to send their children in schools in each other’s areas. But 
Muslims have little options as they are forced to go to schools in Hindu areas. 
They fear while sending their girls to schools and colleges in those areas. 
Today the gap created between the two communities by the pogrom has got a 
little narrowed but the situation cannot be said completely normal.
It is said that most of those arrested in connection with Godhra train burning 
and POTA imposed on them are innocents but real perpetrators of the riot are 
still at large.
Godhra train burning incident was projected as a conspiracy and scores of 
Muslims were arrested only to justify the pogrom that followed the incident. 
Our Cell for Legal Help  Guidance, other NGOs, Human Rights Commission and 
Minority Commission have worked to prove that what was told by the government 
about Godhra train fire was not true. And we are hopeful that all the accused 
of the incident will be proved innocent and will be acquitted. On the other 
hand the policemen and politicians who were involved in the riot are being 
nabbed and sent to jail. But the state government is creating hurdles. First 
they made perpetrators as public prosecutors and helped the guilty and now when 
Supreme Court-appointed SIT wants to arrest some of the perpetrators the 
government is shielding them.
What are the Islami Relief Committee and other organizations doing for the 
families of Godhra train accused and others languishing in jail?
We are helping the families of Godhra train accused. We have also secured bail 
for 30-40 accused. We represented them in POTA Review Committee. Other groups 
like Action Aid are also coming up to help.
How much hopeful are you about justice?
Given the situation in India we cannot be fully sure of justice. We are making 
our best efforts and we have got some favorable verdicts from the Supreme 
Court. But even if, for example, the Godhra accused get acquittal after 
spending 7-8 years in jail, we cannot say they got justice. Because there is no 
system for the rehabilitation of those people who lost everything – families, 
homes and source of livelihood.

Bismillah [IslamCity] The Wounds of Gaza - Dr Swee Ang, Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah

2009-02-22 Thread Abhiyya

Dr Ang Swee Chai is the author of the famous work FROM BEIRUT TO JERUSALEM  
which is an Eye Witness account to SABRA-SHATILA MASSACRE
 
- Abhiyya
The Wounds of Gaza

Two Surgeons from the UK, Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah and Dr Swee Ang, managed to get 
into Gaza during the Israeli invasion. Here they describe their experiences,  
share their views, and conclude that the people of Gaza are extremely 
vulnerable and defenseless in the event of another attack.
http://www.thelancetglobalhealthnetwork.com/archives/608
The wounds of Gaza are deep and multi-layered. Are we talking about the Khan 
Younis massacre of 5,000  in 1956 or the execution  of 35,000 prisoners of war 
by Israel in 1967? Yet more wounds of the First Intifada, when civil 
disobedience by an occupied people against the occupiers resulted in massive 
wounded and hundreds dead?  We also cannot discount the 5,420 wounded in 
southern Gaza alone since 2000. Hence what we are referring to below are only 
that of the invasion as of 27 December 2008,
Over the period of 27 December 2008 to the ceasefire of 18 Jan 2009, it was 
estimated that a million and a half tons of explosives were dropped on Gaza 
Strip. Gaza is 25 miles by 5 miles and home to 1.5 million people. This makes 
it the most crowded area in the whole world. Prior to this Gaza has been 
completely blockaded and starved for 50 days.  In fact since the Palestinian 
election Gaza has been under total or partial blockade for several years.
On the first day of the invasion, 250 persons were killed.  Every single police 
station in Gaza was bombed killing large numbers of police officers. Having 
wiped out the police force attention was turned to non government targets.  
Gaza was bombed from the air by F16 and Apache helicopters,  shelled from the 
sea by Israeli gunboats and from the land by tank artillery. Many schools were 
reduced to rubble,  including the American School of Gaza, 40 mosques, 
hospitals, UN buildings, and of course 21,000 homes, 4,000 of which were 
demolished completely. It is estimated that 100,000 people are now homeless.
Israeli weapons
The weapons used apart from conventional bombs and high explosives also include 
unconventional weapons of which at least 4 categories could be identified.

Phosphorus Shells and bombs
The bombs dropped were described by eye witnesses as exploding at high altitude 
scattering a large canopy of phosphorus bomblets which cover a large area.
During the land invasion, eyewitnesses describe the tanks shelling into homes 
first with a conventional shell. Once the walls are destroyed, a second shell - 
a phosphorus shell is then shot into the homes.  Used in this manner the 
phosphorus explodes and burns the families and the homes. Many charred bodies 
were found among burning phosphorus particles.
One area of concern is the phosphorus  seems to be in a special stabilizing 
agent. This  results in the phosphorus being more stable and not completely 
burning out.  Residues still cover the fields, playground and compounds. They 
ignite when picked up by curious kids, or produce fumes when farmers return to 
water their fields. One returning farming family on watering their field met 
with clouds of fumes producing epistaxis.  Thus the phosphorus residues 
probably treated with a stabilizer also act as anti-personnel  weapons against 
children and make the return to normal life difficult without certain hazards.
Surgeons from hospitals are also reporting cases where after primary laparotomy 
for relatively small wounds with minimal contamination find on second look 
laparotomy  increasing areas of tissue necrosis at about 3 days.  Patients then 
become gravely ill and by about 10 days those patients needing a third relook 
encounter massive liver necrosis. This may or may not be accompanied by 
generalized bleeding , kidney failure and heart failure and death. Although 
acidosis, liver necrosis and sudden cardiac arrest due to hypocalcemia are 
known to be a complication of white phosphorus it is not possible to attribute 
these complications as being due to phosphorus alone.
There is real urgency to analyze and identify the real nature of this modified 
phosphorus as to its long term effect on the people of Gaza. There is also 
urgency in collecting and disposing of the phosphorus residues littering the 
entire Gaza Strip. As they give off toxic fumes when coming into contact with 
water, once the rain falls the whole area would be polluted with acid 
phosphorus fumes. Children should be warned not to handle and play with these 
phosphorus residues.

 Heavy Bombs
The use of DIME (dense inert material explosives) were evident, though it is 
unsure whether depleted uranium were used in the south.  In the civilian areas, 
surviving patients were found to have limbs truncated by DIME, since the stumps 
apart from being characteristically cut off in guillotine fashion also fail to 
bleed. Bomb casing and shrapnel are  extremely heavy.

Swat And Shariah : What Are The Issues ?


 

International press has repored that hundreds of supporters participated
in a peace march in Pakistan's Swat valley yesterday aimed at convincing
Taliban militants to lay down their weapons under a pact with the
government. Nato and Britain raised concerns about the deal, which
imposes Islamic law and suspends a military offensive in the one-time
tourist haven that is now largely under militant control. Nato, which
has 55,000 troops across the border in Afghanistan, warned the deal
risked giving extremists a safe haven.But the US reacted cautiously,
with the State Department saying it was still trying to understand
Pakistan's strategy.The regional government in Pakistan's northwest
struck the deal Monday with Sufi Muhammad, an aging pro-Taliban Alim
who is father-in-law to Swat Taliban leader Maulana Fazlullah. Sufi
Muhammad agreed to talk to Fazlullah in return for the pledge to
introduce Islamic law in the valley, where militants have routed the
police, beheaded political opponents and burned scores of schools for
girls.Muhammad and his supporters, carrying black and white flags
representing the Taliban and peace, marched through Swat's main city of
Mingora as jubilant residents chanted God is great! We want peace!.
 
Pakistani officials insist the deal is not a concession, but rather that
it addresses the long-standing demands of residents in Swat and
surrounding areas for a more efficient justice system.The main changes
involve already existing regulations that were never enforced, for
instance, allowing religious scholars to advise judges, officials said.
There are no publicized plans to ban girls from schooling, as hardline
Taliban would want.We will not introduce the Taliban system here,
Bashir Bilour, a senior provincial government leader, said yesterday.
This is a system about justice. It is for producing swift
justice.Federal Information Minister Sherry Rehman has said President
Asif Ali Zardari would not sign off on the agreement until peace is
restored in the region. The Swat Taliban, meanwhile, have said they
will stop fighting once Islamic law is in place and are already
observing a cease-fire.When pressed by reporters at the State Department
on Tuesday spokesman Gordon Duguid said the US was seeking a fuller
explanation from Pakistan.
 
We have no special comment about the agreement.  Pakistan has done it
under the pressure of circumstances because of  military pressure both
from  the east and west of Pakistan from India and Afganistan, apart
from internal insurgency in some parts.We have some comment about
Shariah application.What these Talibans or their supporters mean by
Shariah is a big question.Pakistan is an Islamic republic, it has more
or less revised all laws in line with Islamic law.It has also enacted
Hadood laws where hadd is applicable.Yes there are implementation
problems.Moreover Islamic law is not about Hadood or punishments
only.Islamic law is much more concerned with economics, finance,
banking, insurance, market supervision ,  monetary policy and fiscal
policy.Islamic law is also about family laws, about marriage, divorce
and inheritance , about gift, waqf, about constitutional principles,
commercial or business laws.  Islam, s emphisis is more on values and
Akhlaq than on punishments or laws.These Talibans, most of them have
very narrow view of Islam.They lack education.Their education is only
old text books prepared by scholars of the past.They never updated their
courses.We have serious concern that they are damaging image of
Islam.Some Western press is also highliting , partially to discredit
Islam and Islamists.We ask the senior Ulama of Pakistan and the Muslim
world to look to this and help solve this recurring problem.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Arab writers

2009-02-22 Thread aasia shahana
If  good befalls you, it grieves them; but if some misfortune overtakes you, 
they rejoice at it. But if ye are constant and do right, not the least harm 
will their cunning do to you; for Allah Compasses round about all that they do 
Surat A'ali Imran,  (the House of Imran), III, v. 119

I call on the Israeli army to crush these Palestinian terrorists who are at 
Iran's beck and call; chase the rebels of Hamas, annihilate  its lunatics and 
demented leaders who are disguised as men of faith, crush them and exterminate 
them  and teach them a lesson which they will never forget  just as you taught 
the terrorist Hizbullah  a harsh lesson in 2006….So deliver Gaza from the grip 
of Hamas.  These Palestinians, wherever they go, they take with them terror, 
corruption, trouble, tumult and ingratitude…..! 

These words were not written by Israeli propagandists or Zionist apologists 
seeking to justify the recent Israeli blitzkrieg in Gaza. They are actually the 
words of a Kuwaiti Arab columnist who has apparently sold his soul to the devil.

I say sold his soul to the devil because when a human being transforms 
himself into a willful liar in the service of evil, that person, knowingly or 
unknowingly,  loses his morality and eventually loses his humanity as well.

I don't know for sure what  makes such people undergo such a diabolical 
metamorphosis. It could be mental weakness, or a  certain psychological defect 
that they have failed to overcome, or even a mental dysfunction. However,  
treachery  always goes hand in hand with moral depravity and lack  of 
self-esteem.

Needless to say, a writer, or even a commoner, who gleefully  rejoices over the 
extermination of children, as we saw recently in Gaza,  has obviously banished  
himself from the realm of humanity.

Unfortunately, there is a number of  so-called Arab  writers who seem to  have 
devoted themselves to besmirching  and vilifying  Hamas and other Arab 
resistance movements, as if the right thing to do were to succumb to Zionism, 
the  Nazi-like movement that has been murdering Palestinians, destroying their 
homes, stealing their land and dispersing them to the four winds. 

Indeed, instead of standing up for justice and identifying with the oppressed 
against the oppressor, as every noble human being should do, these wicked  
mercenaries have decided to curry favor with the Nazis of our time probably  in 
the hope of receiving a certificate of good conduct or a citation of honor from 
Zionist entity. Or perhaps they hope that international Zionist circles might 
press award-granting bodies in the West to reward them for their treasonous 
behavior.

Well, they have. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has already prepared  a list of 
honor of Zionized  Arab writers who are doing a marvelous job on Israel's 
behalf.

Just watch the Zionist media  these days and see how often these lowly traitors 
are quoted by Zionist spinners and hasbara operatives.

This shows beyond doubt that these gullible little men  have fully swallowed up 
the Zionist narrative,  bait, hook, line and sinker. 

I understand that many of these writers are shockingly ignorant of the facts. 
However, there are others who know the facts very well but lack the 
intellectual honesty and moral rectitude to stand up for the truth. 


A few years ago, one of these so-called writers based in London was quoted 
heavily by much of the American and Israeli media when he claimed that not all 
Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims.

Well, I don't know what was this so-called writer smoking or drinking when he 
uttered this colossal mendacity, a canard that has more to do with mental 
diarrhea  than with any genuine intellectual activity.

Didn't that little man learn in school in Saudi Arabia that defending one's 
home, country and honor is a duty binding on  all Muslims?  Couldn't  he bring 
himself to understand  that a foreign occupation is actually an act of rape, 
and that  just as rape victims have every right to fight and resist their 
attackers,  so do people languishing  under occupation have a similar right to 
resist their occupiers, oppressors and tormentors?  Did he forget that even in 
America, his real god, or more correctly the god of his god, they say give me 
freedom or give me death. 

More to the point, couldn't  that weak-minded charlatan realize that the 
invasion, occupation and destruction of sovereign nations by the US, along with 
the murder of hundreds of thousands of people, represented and embodied terror 
in its ugliest forms?   
I understand that certain Arabs dislike Hamas because of ideological hostility. 
However, I never thought in my life  that an Arab and Muslim bearing the name 
of Abdullah or Abdul Rahman would urge Israel to annihilate  Palestinians and 
express the wish he was  an Israeli soldier slaughtering Palestinian and 
Lebanese  children. 

Well, moral depravity, it seems, has no limits.

I do know that the vast majority of Arabs

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Israel violated a 6-month 
truce with Hamas.   
 Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has slammed Israel for 'failing to 
abide' by the Gaza cease-fire ahead of its war on the strip.
 
 Hamas, without a doubt, erred by firing rockets at Israel, but we must 
consider that Hamas fully abided by the truce agreement with Israel for six 
months, even though Israel did not, Erdogan told Al-Hayat on Sunday.
 
 Israel unleashed Operation Cast Lead on the Gaza Strip on December 27, 
allegedly to put an end to rocket attacks against southern Israeli towns. At 
least 1,330 Palestinians died during the offensive, while some 5,450 others 
were reported wounded.
 
 Hamas says several of its senior officials, including late interior minister 
Saeed Siyam, were killed by Israeli forces.
 
 In his interview with the London-based newspaper, Erdogan said that Turkey 
would send monitors to Gaza if they are required to stabilize the truce 
between Hamas and Israel.
 
 He urged respect for the Palestinian Authority elections and called on Hamas 
to playits proper role in the political arena of Palestine.

Darfur war crimes indictment threatens to split international community
Judges in The Hague prepare to indict Omar al-Bashir, Sudan's president – 
putting western governments on collision course with Africa, China and Russia

Britain, France and the US are up against a united front of African and Muslim 
countries, backed by China and Russia, over the imminent indictment of Sudan's 
president, Omar al-Bashir, for war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly 
committed in Darfur.
 
Diplomatic sources said yesterday that a pre-trial panel of three judges at the 
international criminal court (ICC) in The Hague was expected to authorise an 
arrest warrant within the next two weeks. Bashir will be the first head of 
state to be charged by the ICC since it was founded in 2002.
 
The court has kept its cards very close to its chest. But that's the 
expectation, a western diplomat said.
 
You prepare for all eventualities and an indictment is the most difficult. But 
the search for peace and justice cannot be precluded by concerns over what 
might happen.
 
The African Union (AU), the Arab League, the Organisation of the Islamic 
Conference, and an influential UN bloc of developing nations known as the Group 
of 77 and China have all backed Sudan's calls for the ICC prosecution to be 
dropped, with some officials arguing that it smacks of white man's justice.
 
They say an attempt to arrest Bashir could destabilise Sudan and endanger 
international aid and peacekeeping missions. An estimated 200,000 people have 
died and 2.7 million have been displaced since fighting erupted in Darfur in 
2003.
 
The UN has more than 20,000 personnel in Sudan, including two peacekeeping 
missions, while hundreds of NGOs and aid agencies operate there.
 
Sudanese officials say they cannot be held responsible if the UN or foreign 
organisations become the focus of public outrage over an indictment.
 
Western diplomats say any decision to freeze or drop the case could destroy the 
credibility of the ICC and force the resignation of chief prosecutor Luis 
Moreno-Ocampo.
 
Yet a decision to go ahead could permanently alienate African and other 
countries that have signed the ICC treaty.
 
Britain, France and the US say they are not alone is backing the ICC process.
 
The Latin American countries, Japan, other European countries, they all 
understand and support what we are doing, one official said.
 
In a unanimous statement issued at this month's summit in Addis Ababa, the 
capital of Ethiopia, the AU expressed deep concern at the impending 
indictment, warning it could seriously undermine efforts to end the Darfur 
conflict. If the court is allowed to go ahead, it will cause a lot of trouble 
for the whole Horn of Africa region. Sudan is big. It touches everyone, said a 
senior diplomat from one of Sudan's neighbours.
 
British and French officials and diplomats are adamant that they will not 
support attempts to freeze the ICC process under a UN security council 
procedure known as an Article 16 deferral.
 
At this moment we're not ready to support an initiative that would implement 
Article 16, said Jean-Pierre Lacroix, France's deputy UN ambassador. Lord 
Malloch-Brown, Britain's minister for Africa, said last week that a deferral 
was completely unlikely.
 
The US is not a signatory to the ICC's founding treaty but has strongly 
supported the case against Bashir.
 
It has backed two previous ICC indictments of Sudanese officials over Darfur, 
including charges of war crimes brought against Ahmad Muhammad Harun, a former 
minister of state for the interior. Neither suspect has been handed over.
 
The Obama administration has taken a tougher line on Sudan than its 
predecessors. Susan Rice, the new US ambassador to the UN, condemned the 
ongoing genocide in Darfur in her first press conference, and said efforts to 
support Unamid, the UN's military mission in Darfur, were a top priority.
 
Obviously we will continue to look at what is necessary to deal with any 
obstruction, continued violence or reprisals that may occur or may emanate as a 
result of a potential indictment, she said.
 
She drew attention to new fighting around Muhajiriya, in southern Darfur, 
between government and rebel forces. UN officials and rebel spokesmen have 
suggested the surge in violence is part of the government's response to the 
looming Bashir indictment.
 
In a sign of growing unease over the possible fallout, Ban Ki-moon, the UN 
secretary general, said he had personally urged Bashir to eschew reprisals when 
they met at the AU summit.
 
Whatever the ICC decision may be, it will be very important for President 
Bashir and the Sudanese government to react very responsibly and ensure the 
safety and security of UN peacekeepers, protect human rights ... and faithfully
