My visit to Iraq with Imam Badi Ali.
Madeleine Albright, 500,000 dead Iraqi children and Praise
from NPR & CNN
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
America was getting ready to bomb Iraq, Saddam had changed
and embraced Islam. He wanted Iraqis to resist.
The embargo was killing children on a huge scale. The Muslim
umma had been brainwashed by the major media. Hatred fanned
by the Shia sect silenced many Muslims.
When America attacked no one came to help Saddam. He was the
only Arab leader who continued to fight till he was captured
and put on trial by the puppets.
When he was hanged, he was reciting the kalima and holding
on to the Qur'an.
Some Muslims did turn up in Baghdad when I was there from 50
countries but only two of us from USA.
It's a long journey by road from Amman to Baghdad in the
cold desert of February, America had blocked all flights.
Even Saddam's intelligence agents who shadowed us wanted
only one thing from us: Vitamin C. Iraqis had been drained
of their energy and vitality by the embargo. Children were
dying for lack of medicines. The adults were getting
siick.
The car had no heating in it. I had on a thick sweater but
Br. Badi in his shirt was shivering. I offered him my
sweater. I can't forget his answer:
"The people are cold. How can I be comfortable."
When we returned to Amman, it was a different world. The
Jordanians were partying as if nearby Iraq did not
exist.
Remember that Saddam was the only Arab ruler whose long
range missiles actually hit Israel.
Now years later NPR, CNN , New York Times are outdoing each
other in extolling Madeleine Albright. When she was asked
about the slow death of half a million Iraqi children, she
reportedly said: It was worth it.

War News
Ukraine
After heavy fighting around Kiev, Russia has announced
change of goals and objectives. Russia evidently sustained
heavy losses and destruction of many tanks owing to
determined resistance by Ukraine with the help of hand-held
missiles provided by Germany and America.
However Russia is using long range artillery and missiles to
create panic and fear among Ukrainian populations. Missile
attacks near the border with Poland have created fear in the
west that Russia might be looking at a larger extension of
the war.
A report indicates that Chechen Muslim fighters are fighting
for Russia [in the south] as well as for Ukraine in the
areas around Kiev. [sort of like Afghans on both sides]
Russia has destroyed most of Mariupol but fighting continues
in some sectors of the city,
Russia has not been able to stop steady supply of weapons
from the west to Kiev. Also civilian movements out of
Ukraine are continuing.
"Saudi Arabia"
A Houthi high flying object hit a fuel tank near Jeddah
causing a big fifre which was visible from 7 miles away.
Saudii counter attacks hit three targets in Yemen killing 8
people.
Syria
A researcher for the Monitor indicates that stoppage of
Russian air strikes has helped ISIS to increase its attacks
on Assad regime and Iranian forces in the eastern
countryside of Raqqa, Homs and Deir ez Zor provinces.
l
Artillery and machine gun fire exchanges between Syrians
supporting Turkey and the Assad regime are ongoing every
day. No details about losses.
Pakistan
Two Pakistani troops were killed in clashes in north
Waziristan.
In Sibi Baluchistan area, Pakistani troops killed 6 Baluch
militants who had attacked the popular Anarkali market in
Lahore and were traced to their hideouts

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — President Joe Biden on Saturday
dramatically escalated his rhetoric against Vladimir Putin,
calling for the Russian leader to be removed because of his
brutal invasion of Ukraine.
"For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power.," Biden's
said at the very end of a speech in Poland's capital that
served as the capstone on a four-day trip to Europe.

Do people really believe CNN? On the one hand that Russia
has been defeated and its top generals have disappeared, on
the other that conditions are terrible and people are
desperate and trying to flee.
The zionists who control US media seem to think Americans
are chumps unable to see the contradictions.
Twitter is controlled by Agarwal, obviously a Hindu.
Today he censored Tucker Carlson. Tucker also noted that
Jackson going for Supreme Court could not define a woman.
Transvestite influence? Muslims beware. Do Muslims
understand what is going on?
Incredible claims by CNN. Two days back 10,000 Russians
killed. Today 40, 000!
Source: Nato!
But Nato is not in Ukraine. So the source has to be Ukraine.
Sheer propaganda.
How can you know Russian losses?
CNN probably thinks Americans will swallow anything. It is
totally controlled media probably by Zionists.
NPR is pressuring Disney to support lgbtq homos teaching
5 year olds. Power is going to their heads. Florida is still
Christian and is passing a Don't say Gay bill.
What is the problem with Yasir Qadhi? We can all differ
with mujahideen groups overseas instead of discussing them
in an analytical way which would lead to understanding. [It
is also the safe thing to do, lol!.]
But to go to the KUFFAR media, the worst of them being FOX,
and to condemn mujahideen groups is a form of kufr. ALL
Islamic scholars for 1400 years have agreed that whatever
our differences, if we go to the kuffar and support them
against Islamic fighters, that is HARAM activity.
Yasir Qadhi has shown us on which side his bread is buttered
by coming on FoX to show that he is a munafiq.

Opinion
Secularism and the crime of secularists
Dr. Firoz Mahboob Kamal
The gravest crime.
The most catastrophic defeat of Muslims did not take place
on any battlefield. They lost the war on the conceptual
premise. The defeat on the geopolitical frontiers came much
later. Muslims lost the war of ideas only because of
secularisation of their thought. The early Muslims used the
Holy Qur'an as the most powerful ideological weapon against
the enemies. Because of secularisation of thought, they
ignored its importance. Hence they forsake the most powerful
Qur'anic weapon. In fact, they became radical seculatist in
practice and Muslim only by name. So, the secularist Muslims
lost the war ideologically before it was started. They
indeed became the part of the enemies before the enemies won
the war.
Secularism is defined as a "system of social organization
and education where a religion is not allowed to play a part
in civil affairs."-(Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner's
Dictionary). Therefore, the prime political objective of
secularists is to restrict religions playing any role in the
system of social organizations, politics, education, and
warfare. The conflict between the secularists and the
believers indeed starts on this seminal point. Islam is
known for its all-inclusive global vision, mission and
objective. Islam aims at resconstruction and purification
not only of indivuals but also of families, societies,
organisations and states. In such a process of purification
cum reconstruction, the Holy Qur'an works as a Divine
instrument of change. Hence, without the Holy Qur'an, Islam
can't operate in families, societies, organisations and
states. Therefore, secularists commit a grave crime and
declare a war against Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'ala by banning
access of Qur'anic knowledge in education, organisations,
societies and states. Hence, their every act of politics is
a grave war crime.
The best ibadah and the worst crime.
The Holy Qur'an is the greatest blessing of Allah Sub'hana
wa Ta'ala for all humans. Establishing peace on the earth
and entry into paradise are only possible by following the
path shown in the Holy Qur'an -called siratul mustaqeem.
Therefore, standing against the Holy Qur'an and putting any
prohibition on knowing the Qur'anic path is a great crime.
It equals obstructing the way of paradise and taking people
to hellfire. Killing millions of people is a huge crime. But
putting billions of people in a flame of hellfire for a
period of infinity is a million times more horrendous crime.
No crime on the earth can match its severity. Such a crime
is being committed by the secularists by obstructing
teaching of the Holy Qur'an even in Muslim counries. It is
indeed a crime against the whole of mankind. But awfully
such criminals go unpunished even in Muslim countries!
The Qur'anic path to paradise -siratul mustaqeem runs not
only through five-time prayers, month-long fasting in
Ramadan, haj, and charity, but also through Islamic
education, politics, judiciary, media, administration, and
jihad in the way of Allah Sub'hana wa Ta'ala. If any of
these parts remains uncovered, it puts an end to the whole
journey. Then, he or she can't reach the desired destination
in paradise. Therefore, to access paradise, covering all
segments of siratul mustaqeem is crucial. Jihad is the most
difficult part; more than 60 percent of the companions lost
their lives to cover this bloody segment. Jihad is the
ultimate testing ground of iman. But today, most Muslims
carefully avoid this difficult part; therefore fail to
complete the journey. They do wars for racial, tribal,
national and party-related causes; but not for bringing
victory to Islam.
The early Muslim rightly realised the worth of this greatest
task; hence more more than 60 percent of the companions of
the Prophet (peace be upon him) became shaheed. As a result
of their sacrifices, Muslims could emerge as the most
powerful civilizational force on the earth and could raise
the finest civilisation in history. In those golden days,
they did not need to build monumental mosques. But today,
this greatest ibadah gets neglected. It is even blamed as
terrorism. Because of the betrayal, although Muslims could
build millions of mosques and madrasas -many of them are
monumental but couldn't build a single Islamic state. As a
result, Muslims stand powerless, defeated and disgraced all
over the world.
Crimes of the secularists
Nuclear bombs or chemical bombs instantly burn people to
death. But these bombs do not take people to hellfire to be
burnt there for the infinity. But the crimes of the
secularists are worse. They take people to hellfire by
putting an obstruction on the heaven-bound Divine roadmap.
Moreover, they use the secular educational and cultural
systems to immunize students' minds against any Islamic
influence. Thus they raise barriers against the Islamisation
of individuals, families, states, and societies. In the
geopolitical arena, it raises divisive walls in the name of
languages, ethnicity, geography, and culture. Thus, the
secularist forces could easily dismantle the unity of the
Muslim ummah and could restrict the spread of Islamic
influence from one country to another.
Secularists keep the Qur'anic lessons out of the classrooms,
reject sharia in the judiciary, and restrict the practice of
Islam only within the mosques and private life. Because of
such inimical approach against the mission, vision, and
objective of Islam, they easily qualify to be the
trustworthy friend of the known enemies of Islam all over
the world. Hence, these secularists are taken as partners to
occupy Muslim lands. So the Americans, the British, the
Russians, and the Indians were never alone in their
occupational wars in the Muslim lands like Afghanistan,
Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Kashmir and many other
places.

'There is a Polish for everything that takes away Rust
...{!}
and the Polish for the Heart is? The Remembrance of Allah.'
[Source: S.Bukhari]
Al-Bayhaqee relates from Ibn 'Umar [Radiallaahu 'Anhu]
....
PROPHET ﷺ ~ said... " For everything there is a Polish,
and the Polish for the Hearts is the
'DHIKR'[Remembrance] of Allah...!
There is nothing more potent in saving a person
from the punishment of Allah than the 'Dhikr' of Allah."
It was said... 'Not even 'Jihad' in the path of Allah'?
Prophet [Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Salaam] replied...
" Not even if you were to continue striking
with your sword until it breaks."
[Source: Saheeh: Related by Ahmad (4/352), from Mu'aadh ibn
Jabal [Radiallaahu 'anhu].
A Little Note...
The polish for a rusty heart is the 'Dhikr' of ALLAH !
This is because 'Dhikr' is like a polish
(which polishes the heart) like a shiny mirror !
When 'Dhikr' is left, the rust returns!
But when 'Dhikr' resumes then the Heart is again Polished!
~Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (Rahimahullah) said...
" Doubtless, a heart grows tarnished like brass or silver,
and its
polish is by remembrance, which may make it shine like a
crystal mirror! So when one neglects the remembrance it
Tarnishes and when he returns it shines!
Since the heart is Tarnished by
two things... Heedlessness and Sin, it is polished
by two things: Remembrance and asking for Forgiveness."

Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah'
Hadith of the Week
Narrated by An-Nu'man bin Bashir,ra:
The Prophet said,
"The example of the person abiding by Allah's order and
restrictions in comparison to those who violate them is like
the example of those persons who drew lots for their seats
in a boat. Some of them got seats in the upper part, and the
others in the lower.
When the latter needed water, they had to go up to bring
water (and that troubled the others), so they said, 'Let us
make a hole in our share of the ship to get water saving
those who are above us from troubling them'.
So, if the people in the upper part left the others (in the
lower part) to do what they had suggested, all the people of
the ship would be destroyed, but if they prevented them,
both parties would be safe.":

Amnesty: "Israel is committing apartheid, says UN Special
Rapporteur"
MAR 24, 2022
Amnesty International: The Special Rapporteur on human
rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT),
Michael Lynk, has submitted a report to the Human Rights
Council, concluding that the situation in the OPT amounts to
apartheid.
Saleh Higazi, Deputy Director for the Middle East and North
Africa at Amnesty International, said: "The Special
Rapporteur's findings are an important and timely addition
to the growing international consensus that Israeli
authorities are committing apartheid against the Palestinian
people. The report details how Israel has established a
system of racially motivated oppression against
Palestinians, explicitly designed to maintain Jewish Israeli
domination, and maintained through the commission of grave
human rights violations.
Palestinian human rights organizations have been calling the
situation apartheid for years, and this report is a landmark
moment of recognition of the lived reality of millions of
Palestinians
Saleh Higazi, Deputy Director for the Middle East and North
Africa at Amnesty International
"Palestinian human rights organizations have been calling
the situation apartheid for years, and this report is a
landmark moment of recognition of the lived reality of
millions of Palestinians. Like Amnesty International and
many other human rights groups, the Special Rapporteur
examined Israel's treatment of Palestinians through the lens
of international law and reached the unmistakable conclusion
that this is apartheid.
"In recent months Israel has intensified its efforts to
censor and discredit anyone who uses the word apartheid.
Instead of engaging with serious allegations made by human
rights organizations and now the UN, Israeli authorities
continue to limit their response to attacking the messenger
with groundless accusations of bias. This failing strategy
cannot hide the growing consensus among experts that the
harsh reality of the grinding oppression to which Israel
subjects Palestinians on a daily basis is a textbook example
of apartheid.
"The report emphasizes the need for the international
community to accept the findings of human rights
organizations, including Amnesty, and start calling Israel's
apartheid what it is. The international community, in
particular countries allied to Israel, must stop making
excuses for this cruel system of racial domination and
oppression and take immediate action to help end apartheid
and protect Palestinian rights. "
Amnesty International's February 2022 report sets out how
Israel is enforcing a system of apartheid against
Palestinians wherever it has control of their rights,
including within Israel. Amnesty is calling on the
International Criminal Court (ICC) to consider the crime of
apartheid in its current investigation in the OPT, and for
all states to exercise universal jurisdiction to investigate
and prosecute persons suspected of the crime against
humanity of apartheid.
"In recent months Israel has intensified its efforts to
censor and discredit anyone who uses the word apartheid.
This strategy is failing in the face of the growing
consensus among experts that Israel is committing
apartheid
Saleh Higazi
The report of the Special Rapporteur examines the current
human rights situation in the OPT, with particular focus on
the question of apartheid. It finds that Israeli Jews and
Palestinians in Occupied Palestinian Territories live "under
a single regime which differentiates its distribution of
rights and benefits on the basis of national and ethnic
identity, and which ensures the supremacy of one group over,
and to the detriment of, the other." It sets out how this
system "endows one racial-national-ethnic group with
substantial rights, benefits and privileges while
intentionally subjecting another group to live behind walls,
checkpoints and under a permanent military rule", and
concludes that this "satisfies the prevailing evidentiary
standard for the existence of apartheid".
In January, a leaked cable from the Israeli Foreign Ministry
described a planned campaign to discredit the Special
Rapporteur's work, and Israeli authorities have prevented UN
human rights staff and investigators from entering Israel
and/or the OPT. This is part of a wide-ranging attack on
human rights which has also seen Palestinian organizations
outlawed, harassed and silenced.

India: Muslim Woman activist recounts two 'painful' years in jail
Ishrat Jahan was arrested during the 2020 Delhi riots
following protests against a controversial citizenship law
passed by Modi's government.

Published On 22 Mar 2022
New Delhi, India - When Ishrat Jahan walked out of a prison
in the Indian capital last week, she was hugged by her
sister and they burst into tears as relatives gathered
around to welcome her back home after more than two years of
imprisonment.
"I missed my family a lot. This separation was very
difficult for me," she told Al Jazeera a week after her
release from
Jahan, a 31-year-old activist, was arrested along with
dozens of other Muslims in February 2020 during mass
protests against a controversial citizenship law passed by
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government
in December 2019.
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) allowed non-Muslim
migrants and refugees from India's neighbouring countries to
secure Indian citizenship if they arrived in India before
December 2014. Read together with a proposed National
Register of Citizens (NRC), many feared the CAA-NRC plans
were aimed at disenfranchising the Muslim minority.
