Pakistan Floods : power point


Dr Kaukab Siddique | Editor-in-Chief Ramadan 11, 1432/August 22, 2010 # 33

Verses of the Week

"To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged; and verily Allah is Most Powerful for their aid; (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right, (for no cause) except that they say, 'Our Lord is Allah.'

"Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid His cause; for verily Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (Able to enforce His Will)."

The Holy Qur'an, 22:39-40

Why the silence on Kashmir? Thousands of people, unarmed, rallied against India on August 16 in Srinagar and other Kashmiri cities. (Fox TV News). According to the BBC, 50 unarmed Kashmiris have been killed by the Indian occupiers in rallies during the last two months.




CONTRADICTIONS

Huge numbers of Somalis are homeless owing to Ethiopian invasion and US-backed campaigns against the al-Shabab movement. Why is Somalia being ignored?

Thousands are starving in Niger. Why the silence?

By contrast, Hillary Clinton is pouring dollars into Pakistan to save a corrupt government which has failed miserably to help the flood victims. The US can see that Islamic groups are among the masses and are helping the victims of floods big time.

The floods have reached southern Sind. If the barrages on the Indus break, millions more will be homeless. It is time to help the Islamic charities who are honest enough to deliver. Ms. Clinton should not be trying to save the regime. The people come first.

"Imam" of Ground Zero "Mosque" Works for State Department

August 20, 2010. MANAMA, Bahrain - The imam leading plans for an Islamic center near the Manhattan site of the Sept. 11 attacks said Friday that extremism poses a security threat in both the West and the Muslim world.

The comments by Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf come during the first leg of a 15-day Middle East tour — funded by the U.S. State Department — to discuss Muslim life in America and religious tolerance.

Rauf arrived in Bahrain on Thursday for a Mideast tour that also includes stops in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The trip is funded by the State Department's Bureau of International Information Programs.

According to the State Department, this is Rauf's fourth U.S.-government sponsored trip. He traveled twice to the Middle East in 2007 during the Bush administration and once earlier this year. (AP & other wire services.)

Obituary: Faraj Hassan al-Saadi, Libyan Muslim in England

Unite Against Zionism: Jamaat al-Muslimeen Shoora Theme

Just Received

Christian Zionism: The Tragedy and the Turning, DVD by Charles E. Carlson, WHTT web site.

33 minutes

Recommended by Sis. Abigail, New Trend's Resource Person on Christianity.

This powerful documentary illustrates the influential deviations which have led some Christian churches away from the teachings of Jesus, pbuh. Carlson focuses on the interpretations added to the bible in its Scofield edition which transgressed against the text to teach the legitimacy of Israel and to incite Christians to war against the Muslim world.

Segments of the DVD focus on Mr. Carlson's personal experiences in Gaza where he saw Israeli air attacks on the civilian population.

The DVD challenges anyone to find anything in the teachings of Jesus, pbuh, which could be construed to mean support for war.

Every Christian should see this DVD. We urge readers to obtain a copy from WHTT and donate it to their local church.




Afghanistan

$267 Million a Day in Fighting the Taliban

"Some 24 percent of lactating women are malnourished, over 19 percent of pregnant women have a poor nutritional status (low on minerals, vitamins, food insecure and weak) and about 54 percent of under-5 children are stunted," according to the U.N., "Afghanistan is second only to Sierra Leone in terms of having the world's worst maternal and infant mortality rates."

Currently, in its war against the Taliban, the U.S. is spending about $267 million each day in Afghanistan--nearly $100 billion a year. In theory, if that money was directed solely at Afghanistan's food needs, the U.S. could spend about $9 per day on each Afghan.

Latest War News from Afghanistan (Western sources only)

88 NATO troops were killed in hit and run Taliban attacks during July. Fighting has died down in August as the Taliban fast and pray. Till now 37 NATO troops have been killed in August.

August 21: A NATO air strike killed an Afghan woman and her 2 children in western Farah province. The same day in Jawzjan, NATO bombardment killed 10 civilians and 4 Karzai police supporting NATO.

August 20: In the latest Taliban ambush, two Australian troops were killed and two wounded in southern Uruzgan province. The troop had come out of their late model armored vehicle when the watching Taliban hit them with a homemade explosive. At least 20 Australian troops have been killed and 147 wounded so far in Afghanistan. (Our reporter adds, Australians are known for their racism and crusader mentality. What business does Australia have here?)

August 19: Taliban raiders attacked road construction crews and security forces working on roadways for NATO troops in Helmand province, Sangin area, killing 30 and wounding others.

All the checkpoints on the Sangin-Gereshk road were captured by the Taliban in the daylong battle.




Ambush in Yemen: Near Loder town, Abyan province, Yemeni troops armed by the US fell into an al-Qaida-in-Arabia ambush. At least 11 Yemeni troops are reported killed. The Yemeni force opened artillery fire in the general direction of al-Qaida killing 3 civilians and wounding 10. The Yemenis claim to have killed 7 al-Qaida mujahideen.

Juma Khutba Emphasizes non-Cooperation with Oppressors.

Fasting is a Means to an end, not an end in itself


On August 13, 2010 in Baltimore's Masjid Jamaat al-Muslimeen, Dr. Kaukab Siddique gave the first juma' khutba of the sacred month of Ramadan. The masjid was packed owing to Ramadan but we are summarizing the main points of the khutba for countrywide distribution.

Text 1: "O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that perhaps you may achieve TAQWA", [The Qur'an 2:183]
Text 2: "And incline not towards the oppressors or the fire will touch you, and you have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall you be helped." [The Qur'an 11:113]

1. Ramadan gives us an opportunity to achieve a new level of taqwa.

2. The term taqwa has layers of meaning. The most important is Fear of Allah and awareness of Allah, leading to self-awareness and social awareness,

3. Thus fasting which does not develop taqwa is not Islamic. Allah does not want us to starve: Allah wants us to learn self-restraint and discipline.

4. Even when Allah gives us permission for sexual intercourse at night, it couples the permission with re-configuration of husband-wife relations.

5. "They are your garments and you are their garments" [2:187] emphasizes the complementary nature of husband-wife relations. Not superiority of one over the other, but togetherness and oneness. The garments beautify the positives and conceal the deficiencies.

6. Worship in Islam makes rejection of false gods essential, be they the gods of nationality, race, wealth, power or gender.

7. As 11:113 points out, Islam does not permit cooperation of any kind, even the slightest, with the oppressors.

8. Even thinking of cooperation with oppressors is forbidden, in the words of the Qur'an, "incline not to those who do wrong," let alone actual, physical cooperation.

9. As Muslims we are civic-minded and decent people. We do not violate the law of the land. We are good neighbors, honest workers and trustworthy friends.

10. That does not mean that we should cooperate with the oppressive power structure. No one is forcing us and Islam does not permit us to work for or with the White House, the Pentagon, or the intelligence services. All such cooperation is strictly haram.

11. Prayer and fasting are meaningless if we our loyalty is not with Allah but with the oppressors. Fear of humans is not an acceptable excuse.

12. Today we find a man with a Muslim name and claiming to be Hafize Qur'an working for the White House. We find a woman wearing a head covering working for the White House. All such acts are haram. These activities demean Islam, violate our sanctities and are meant to mislead and confuse Muslims.

Du'a
O Allah! give victory to the Muslims of Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Somalia, Chechnya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Bangladesh over the occupiers, the imperialists, the munafiqoon, the exploiters and the oppressors.
O Allah! Help the Muslims of Baltimore, of Maryland and America to unite on the basis of the Qur'an and the authentic Hadith.
O Allah! Help the Ummah of Islam to drive the Yahood out of Palestine.

Fasting on the Wrong Day & Kuwaiti Move

Ramadan Mubarak!

I had to stop my youngest brother from Fasting. He lives in Texas. When he couldn't verify his sources for beginning the Fast on August 11th he stopped immediately. I referred him to the IslamicMoon.com site for future reference.

Also, the news is reporting that Kuwait and other hot cities throughout the "Muslim World" are setting their clocks back an hour early so that the Fast ends quicker because it is so hot in these areas. Is that apart of the Sunnah. I am not aware of it.

Is there any special consideration given to Muslims Fasting in 115 degree areas?

Iraq: 150,000 minus 450 = 50,000 ?

Report from New Trend's Iraq monitor

August 18, 2010: MSNBC TV showed the withdrawal of 450 US troops, a combat unit in its vehicles, from Iraq into Kuwait. MSNBC, a mouthpiece of the Obama administration, presented the withdrawal as a great event, showing it vehicle by vehicle! Rachel Maddow, MSNBC host, was flown over to Iraq for the purpose.

MSNBC claimed that the bulk of US troops have been withdrawn and ONLY 50,000 are still in Iraq to train the Iraqis! There were 150,000 US troops in Iraq. If 450 have been withdrawn, that leaves 149,550 still in Iraq.

The attempt at fooling the American people continues.

Mujahideen guerrilla forces in Iraq were able to survive US military action for more than 7 years. For the last two years, the occupation forces have remained in fortified positions and reduced their losses drastically.

(According to icasualties 4416 US troops and 179 British troops have been killed in Iraq. The US losses include 46 killed this year. Every day reports of fighting come in from Mosul where US backed Shi'ite troops are trying to control the most important Iraqi city in the north.)

Major parts of western, northern and northeastern Iraq remain under Islamic control. Reports indicate that a major slice of western Iraq, as well as most of Mosul, some of Kirkuk, the bulk of Diyala province and a district of Baghdad are under the control of al-Qaida (known as the Islamic State of Iraq). Saddam's Islamist forces, led by the martyred president's trusted leader al-Douri, control the rest of western Iraq and parts of Baghdad.

The US installed Shi'ite clique rules Basra, Najaf, Karbala and parts of Baghdad and the southeastern border in cooperation with Iran. The Kurdish areas are quite disturbed except for the secularized enclaves supported by

Israel which look like cheap copies of small town America.

GENOCIDAL ATROCITIES: Scores of Iraqi towns were destroyed by the US occupation forces. The Muslims were not allowed to take refuge in mosques. Hundreds of mosques were desecrated and/or destroyed by US troops.

Abu Ghraib was only the tip of the iceberg of atrocities committed against the Islamic masses. Here is our remembrance of one such crime:

A 14 year old victim:

"Abeer Qassim Hamza Al-Janabi, Iraqi citizen, sister, and daughter. Born August 19, 1992. Gang-raped, murdered, and burned by U.S. troops March 12, 2006. Her parents were also killed. "

Latest War News from Iraq:

August 17: A martyrdom operator attacked a military recruitment center in Baghdad which was signing up Shi'ite troops. Wire services report 59 recruits killed, more than 100 wounded in the huge explosion. Islamic State in Iraq [Iraqi al-Qaida] took responsibility.

Shi'ites are reportedly the backbone of the US occupation of Iraq with funding from the US and iran.

Pakistan: Treachery at Highest Level

500,000 Homeless but Health relief operations in Jacobabad are not possible because the airbase is controlled by the US.

The stunning statement was made by Health Secretary Khushnood Lashari during an appearance at the Senate Standing Committee on Health on Wednesday.

"Health relief operations are not possible in the flood-affected areas of Jacobabad because the airbase is with the United States," Mr Lashari said while answering a question asked by Senator Semeen Yusuf Siddiqui of PML-Q.
Dr Jahanzeb Aurakzai, coordinator of the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Centre, said: "Foreign health teams could not start relief operations in remote areas because there are no airstrips close to several areas, including Jacobabad."

The town has been evacuated and 500,000 to 700,000 people have been affected. People displaced from Jacobabad, Thul, Kandhkot, Kashmore, Ghouspur and Karumpur are camping in Dera Allahyar.

"It is very unfortunate that Americans can launch a drone attack from Shahbaz airbase but the government is helpless even in using the country's base for relief operations," Senator Semeen said while talking to this correspondent.
She said the health ministry should have requested the army to ask the US to allow relief operation from the base.

"I don't know why the health minister failed to report the matter to the quarters concerned, specifically the Pakistan Army.

"The airbase, which I think the government has given on lease to the Americans, should be used to provide immediate health relief to the flood-affected people."

The committee, headed by Senator Kulsoom Parveen, was briefed by officials on health-related operations in the affected areas.

Latest Jamaate Islami Relief Effort News

LAHORE, Aug. 19: The Jamaat e Islami Secretary General, Liaquat Baloch visited different flood affected areas and inspected the relief activities of the JI and the Al-Khidmat Foundation.

The two organizations are distributing relief packages containing dry ration, milk packets, and other eatables among the flood affectees.

The JI secretary general appreciated that the Al-Khidmat volunteers and JI workers were serving their brethren in distress with true Islamic and humanitarian spirit.

Addressing JI workers, he said the floods had caused colossal losses estimated around Rs. 600 billion all over the country. [$1 = Rs. 80]. Thousands of people had died and thousands of cattle heads had been washed away while hundreds of villages had been eliminated.

He said the international community had rightfully expressed distrust in the ruling junta for relief because of its corruption, nepotism and commissions. Negligible amounts had been received in the relief funds of the President, the Prime Minister and the Chief Ministers. On the other hands, people from within the country and abroad had expressed full confidence in the country's religious parties for donations for the flood affectees.

Especially, Saudi Arabia had come out with massive help for our people as was really praiseworthy. On the other hand, the feudal lords and the elite class of the country had demonstrated their anti people mindset by breaching protective bunds to save their personal properties, which was a big crime.



Saudi envoy donates 5 tons of rice for flood affectees

LAHORE, Aug. 16: The Saudi ambassador in Pakistan, Abdul Aziz Ibrahim al- Ghadeer, handed over five tons of rice to the Jamaat e Islami Secretary General, Liaquat Baloch as Saudi donation for the flood affected people, at a ceremony held at Hafizabad, on Monday.

Speaking on the occasion, the Saudi envoy said that the people of the holy land fully shared the grief and the sufferings of their Pakistani brethren caused by the rains and floods which was the common calamity for both states.

The Saudi ambassador commended the flood relief efforts of the Al-Khidmat Foundation and said his country would continue its assistance for the flood affected people both at government and philanthropist level.

Speaking on the occasion, Liaquat Baloch said Saudi Arabia was Pakistan's most trusted brother Muslim state and the Pakistani people have deep love and religious attachment with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, he said, had been extending maximum help and assistance to this country in every difficulty..Assistance in the present natural calamity was a big service to humanity, he added.

He expressed the hope that the Pakistani people would emerge out of the present trial with firm resolve and confidence.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mubashir Siddiqui, JI Sargodha chief and Dr Muhammad Farooq, district chief Al-Khidmat Foundation, handed over a check for Rupees 1,500,000 besides relief goods worth Rs. 3,000,000 to Liaquat Baloch at a ceremony held at Sargodha.



Jamaate Islami Leader re-visiting Flood Areas: Big Islamic effort to help people

Government Flood relief not reaching real affectees. Extreme Corruption in Secular Ruling Party.

Huge Supply of Tents Stolen. US Bombed Civilians, Now promising Aid!


LAHORE, Aug. 16: The secular ANP government in Khyber Province [previously known as Frontier province] is distributing the flood relief funds and material among the undeserving people in the areas that are safe from flood while the flood affected millions are being neglected, the Jamaat e Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan said in Peshawar on Monday.

The ANP government is doling out the aid received from abroad and within the country among its voters in areas not hit by the floods, he said at a ceremony held at the Islamic centre, for distribution of flood packages among the affectees. Ex-MNAs Shabbir Ahmed Khan, Sabir Awan and Abdul Akbar Chitrali, were also present.

Syed Munawar Hasan said the provincial government had received 250,000 tents which were nowhere to be found. Similarly, Saudi Arabia had donated tons of dates which too were missing. This indicated large scale bungling, he said. He called for an explanation from the government on this score.

He said it was most condemnable that in the beginning, the government showed criminal neglect by not giving a timely warning to the people about heavy rains and floods. Even afterwards, the people were left at the mercy of the flood water while the high ups in the government simply watched the devastation from helicopters.

He said the President, the Prime Minister and chief ministers were making tall promises to the affectees and even the US had promised aid. Ironically, he said, on one hand, the US was killing innocent people in drone attacks while on the other hand, it was promising relief. He said the ANP government was responsible for the drone attacks.
Syed Munawar Hasan appreciated that the workers of the JI and the volunteers of Al-Khidmat Foundation besides some NGOs were busy in flood relief efforts purely with the spirit of service to humanity and to earn divine blessings.

Not Really a Mosque. Not Really an Imam or Muslim. Long time FBI Collaborator.
Obama's Political Acumen: He fooled Muslims and Provoked Fox TV "Rightists"


By Kaukab Siddique

The idea that a mosque is to be built at the site of the Twin Towers demolished on 9.11 by Muhammad Atta and 18 others shows the astute political moves of President Obama. He fooled the Muslims into thinking that an actual mosque is to be built. In fact there will be NO dome or minarets. There will be NO ADHAN reaching out into New York. Many Muslims were fooled by the media hype and started getting agitated and supported Obama.

A number of writers have noticed that, Cordoba House, as it is called, is not to be a mosque but a cultural center. Here is one relevant comment:

From Mark Sledge, July 28: "...the building planned for 45 Park Place is a cultural center with a prayer room -- not a single-purpose house of worship for Muslims, which is probably what we should reserve the word "mosque" for. As Haberman also explains, "That it may even be called a mosque is debatable. It is designed as a multi-use complex with a space set aside for prayer -- no minarets, no muezzin calls to prayer blaring onto Park Place. The 92nd Street Y, on which the Cordoba House is explicitly modeled, has a whole host of Jewish events take place inside of it, but no one calls it a synagogue. There's no good reason why Cordoba House should be misleadingly called a 'mosque.' I've been guilty of using this word too, in conversation and in writing, but it's inaccurate. Muslims already read the Quran and pray at 45 Park Place, but that does not and will not turn it into a 'mosque.'"

More interesting are the facts about Abdul Rauf, the so-called Imam of the so-called Ground Zero mosque. (It's not at Ground Zero and it's not a mosque.)

On August 18, 2010 Keith Olbermann, a staunch supporter of Obama, a good Jew, and veteran of MSNBC TV defended "imam" Abdul Rauf. The key point he made was that Abdul Rauf should be considered a patriot because he has been cooperating with the FBI for a very long time.

Even more interesting is an article which appeared in Atlantic Magazine. A Jewish writer, Jeffrey Goldberg, wrote in defense of "imam" Abdul Rauf He quotes the "imam" as saying that he is a Jew:

"The right-wing campaign against the so-called "Ground Zero mosque" includes vicious personal attacks on the Muslim cleric who leads the Cordoba Initiative, the organization behind the plan. I know Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, and I know him to be a moderate, forward-leaning Muslim -- yes, it is true he has said things with which I disagree, but I have never expected him to function as a member of the Zionist Organization of America."

"In 2003, Imam Rauf was invited to speak at a memorial service for Daniel Pearl, the journalist murdered by Islamist terrorists in Pakistan. The service was held at B'nai Jeshurun, a prominent synagogue in Manhattan, and in the audience was Judea Pearl, Daniel Pearl's father. In his remarks, Rauf identified absolutely with Pearl, and identified himself absolutely with the ethical tradition of Judaism. 'I am a Jew,' he said. There are those who would argue that these represent mere words, chosen carefully to appease a potentially suspicious audience. I would argue something different: That any Muslim imam who stands before a Jewish congregation and says, "I am a Jew," is placing his life in danger. Remember, Islamists hate the people they consider apostates even more than they hate Christians and Jews." (The Atlantic, August 20, 2010.)

All this would not have come out if the worst enemies of Islam, the right wing extremists, had not launched a powerful campaign against Obama, using the "mosque" as a rallying point to condemn him. They jumped in head first: the worst scum like Spencer leading them. Mediocrities like Michelle Malkin, O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Hirsi Ali, Irshad Manji etc etc flourish on the deep suspicions and fears of right wing Americans who think Obama might actually be a Muslim and a non-American. [Under the veneer of conspiracy theories crawls the monster of racism. Obama is Black or at least semi-Black.]

Allah is the Best of Planners. He has helped US Muslims to see both parties working against Islam. One side wants to deceive the Muslims, infiltrate them and win collaborators in Muslim lands. The other wants to launch military operations against Muslim countries, as if under Bush they did not drop enough bombs to kill tens of thousands of people.

Obama wants to use American Muslims, like Abdul Rauf, ISNA, CAIR, ICNA, Aga Khanis, Qadianis ["ahmedis"] and others to infiltrate Islamic communities and destroy them from within. The Republicans want to terrorize US Muslims and to brand them as potential terrorists. The Republicans are no match for Obama. Let's hope the Republicans do more. They might actually awaken the IMAN, asleep deep in the souls of many US Muslims who have been drugged by the 4-letter organizations.



Obama Reassures Israelis, Stresses Ties to Jews
Ynet News (Israel)

US President Barack Obama gave an interview to Channel 2 Wednesday night in which he said his administration had provided Israel with more aid than any other before it .. .. In an interview aimed at assuring Israelis of the US's support, Obama ventured a guess as to why they were mistrustful of him. "Some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion," he said. "Ironically, I've got a Chief of Staff named Rahm Israel Emmanuel. My top political advisor is somebody who is a descendent of Holocaust survivors. My closeness to the Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to the US Senate."



'Official' Changes in the Auschwitz Story
By Mark Weber

Since the end of World War II, authoritative claims about the character and scope of killings at the Auschwitz concentration camp have changed drastically. One particularly striking change concerns the various "official" estimates of the number of victims - a number that since 1945 has been steadily declining .. .. Aumeier's testimony, which Meyer accepts as valid, suggests that Jews were killed at Auschwitz not as part of an comprehensive extermination program systematically to kill all European Jews, but rather as an exceptional measure to curb the horrific epidemics that were ravaging the Auschwitz I and Birkenau camps .. .. Compared to the recently "authoritative" figure of approximately one million Auschwitz deaths, Meyer has reduced the number of Jewish victims there by at least 450,000.
