Do Muslims Understand the Politics of Texas?
By Dr. Kaukab Siddique
Muslims must understand the politics of Texas. Many of the
lawmakers in the Senate and in the House of Representatives
come from Texas. In a sense, one could say it is the Texas
mindset which now rules America. It shapes the viewpoints of
the entire country.
As can be seen in movies and entertainment, male orientation
is very Texan.
Samuel Houston was a leader and very active and the city is
named after him.
Ms. Harris, though given vast amounts of publicity all over
America, was easily defeated in Texas.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is a diehard Republican, and also
a stalwart supporter of Israel. He has passed resolutions on
the state level in support of the Zionist entity.
The situation in Texas is that it is easy to go after people
who are not White. The best example of that is what happened
in the school shooting in Uvalde. Uvalde is only 60 miles
from the Mexico border, and 90% of the 600 of the students
in the 2nd through the 4th grade at the school where the
shooting took place were Hispanic.
The people of Dallas don't realize that the war has ended,
and that there's a ceasefire. They're celebrating as if they
won. They don't realize they have lost, and wars like they
carried out in Palestine cannot be won by throwing bombs and
killing civilians.
Focus on Donald Trump's Cabinet Appointees
Rubio: Arch-Zionist and Genocider for Secretary of State
To understand the focus and philosophy of the incoming Trump
administration, it is helpful to scrutinize the background
of Trump's Cabinet appointees. Mark Rubio, former U.S.
Senator representing Florida, is Trump's new Secretary of
State.
According to Wikipedia, "Rubio is a staunch supporter of
Israel. He is a co-sponsor of a Senate resolution expressing
objection to the UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which
condemned Israeli settlement building in the occupied
Palestinian territories as a violation of international law.
Rubio condemned Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel and
expressed his support for Israel and its right to
self-defense. He called for the complete eradication of
Hamas in Gaza. When asked if there was a way to stop Hamas
without causing massive civilian casualties in Gaza, Rubio
said Israel cannot coexist "with these savages.... They have
to be eradicated." In 2023, he said Hamas was "100 percent
to blame" for Palestinian casualties in Gaza.
Also according to the Wiki, in February 2022, Rubio
condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In November 2024, he
called Ukrainians "incredibly brave and strong", but said
the war in Ukraine had reached a "stalemate" and "needs to
be brought to a conclusion" to avoid further
casualties."
So, Rubio not only uses extremely racist and white
supremacist terminology in his description of Palestinians,
but clearly supports genocide. He also has an evident double
standard when it comes to who has a right to self-defense
and self-determination, Palestine or Ukraine. One wonders if
Rubio realizes that the Palestinians are fighting back and
winning.
Holocaust Remembrance Day: Fortification for the Holocaust Industry?
By Dr. Kaukab Siddique
On January 27, an unofficial holiday few people know about
will be observed in the U.S. That's Holocaust Remembrance
Day. Although it was initiated by the U.N., it is most
broadly celebrated by Zionists and their supporters in the
U.S. It is telling that given the ongoing genocide of
Palestinians that the only Holocaust worthy of commemoration
in certain quarters is the Jewish Holocaust.
It also gives rise to the question why the U.S., a country
not involved or complicit in the Holocaust (as told by
Zionists and their supporters) should commemorate such a
day. Then, too, there is the issue of evidence for the
events upon which the entire story stands.
As the German writer Germar Rudolph, imprisoned for his
audacity in conducting mathematical analysis of events
purported to have taken place during the Holocaust pointed
out, there are many unanswered questions about the event.
For example: Where were the bodies of the six million Jews
allegedly killed by Germany in the Second World War?
No one seems to know, but that doesn't seem to perturb the
lobbyists, government officials, and other Zionists who
capitalize on this story to extract the tax dollars of
working-class Americans to send to Israel. Strangely enough,
there are Holocaust museums in most major U.S. cities,
although there was no holocaust of Jews in the U.S. It seems
to be a psychological imposition on the people of America.
In fact, America was dragged into World War II owing to
manipulation by the British, and as a result of the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor.
So is there any documentary evidence to support the
Holocaust story? To date, not a single mass grave has been
found, exhumed, or examined, which would support the
Holocaust story.
Not one of the allegedly numerous, giant burning sites has
been located or examined. And in no case were murder weapons
found by the Nuremburg and related courts. (Dissecting the
Holocaust, page 87 Germar Rudolf)
By contrast, Palestine was bombed every day by Israeli jets,
helicopters, tanks, long range artillery, and warships.
Heavily armed Jewish infantry carried out atrocities on foot
during house-to-house raids. Massacres were carried out by
Zionist gunmen. Killings of Palestinians were carried out on
a daily basis, with little to no notice by the major U.S.
media. Civilians, including women and children, were
attacked by Israeli armored vehicles. None of the Israeli
killers were punished. Not one. Media were banned from
reporting Jewish atrocities. Meanwhile, Zionists and their
supporters in the U.S. government and media fixate on
"Holocaust Remembrance Day."
NYPD Officer Settles Lawsuit With NYC
By Sis. 'Aisha
Jamaat al-Muslimeen New York City
Staten Island NYPD Officer Mathew Bianchi has settled his
lawsuit with New York City over his refusal to comply with
the use of "courtesy cards." He was awarded a $175K
settlement in the case.
NYPD officers issue courtesy cards to family members and
friends. These laminated cards, which have an image of an
NYPD badge and the name of one of the NYPD unions, have been
used to get out of traffic stops and other minor traffic
infractions. They are usually doled out by officers in
exchange for discount meals and other favors. These cards
have also appeared on eBay for sale.
Although the police department does not officially recognize
courtesy cards, Bianchi claimed that he was retaliated
against for issuing traffic tickets even after he was shown
the card. He was taken away from his daytime traffic shift
and placed on night patrol duty.
Bianchi still works as an NYPD officer, but his career has
suffered because of the lawsuit. The 40-year-old nine-year
veteran has stated that he will continue to operate the same
way and issue traffic tickets when the need arises. Bianchi
believes there should be closer oversight over how these
cards are distributed to officers and protections for those
who challenge their misuse.
Bianchi's attorney, John Scola, praised his client's bravery
and hoped it would inspire others to become department
whistleblowers. The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, an
NYPD union, referred all questions to the law department.

America and Humour From Hell
By Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD
Politics is always a game of pretension. Politicians remind
us of inherent lies, deception, embedded greed and mastery
of persuasive propaganda to voters to do good to fellow
citizens if chosen for leadership. They possess an
irresistible impulse of political power to grab as their own
property to set the agenda of actions - the fate and future
of millions and millions of innocent human beings to rule as
democracy at work.
The US professes to be a nation of peace, equality, justice
and freedom. Is it so? After the Joe Biden presidential
election, Donald Trump raised a scheme of uproars, confusion
and attack at the Nation's Capital alleging 'election fraud'
that he was the real winner. To several criminal cases, he
alluded to as politically motivated, but some of the
judicial hearings charged him with criminal acts. Now
re-elected Donald Trump gets 'unconditional discharge' in
the NY court hush money case; other cases in all
probabilities would go with the wind too as he assumes the
presidency on January 20th. Could a common citizen of the US
be entitled to such a favorable treatment?
Concerned global thinkers and informed citizens wonder if it
was a joke to prosecute Donald Trump (the former president
at the time), or was it a true medium of the travesty of
justice to make America "Great" again in despotic reasoning?
America risks losing its sustainable democratic future if
one recalls the attack on the Capital Hill on January 6,
2020. "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is
a revolutionary act" proclaimed George Orwell. It was the
failure of institutional system and people to have allowed
Trump to orchestrate such an upheaval. The US Republican
Congress supporting Trump should see the mirror and set the
course of history straight for future generations. The world
needs America for future-making but if its leaders are a
sell out to one track extreme thinking of Netanyahu, the US
could end -up losing its own history of national freedom,
human rights and equal justice. Those who get into political
power via unreasonable cliches become intoxicated in power
not by reason but by political force and money as a means to
dominate the masses with wrong thinking and wrong reasoning.
Ironically, President Biden will transfer the power
peacefully to Trump on January 20th which Trump denied to
Biden in January 2020 and alleged a 'fraudulent election'
outcome. Would he be a Marc Antony or Brutus (William
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar), to deliver the sermon and
adore Biden for his courage and leadership or twist the
logic of history? Recall, Marc Antony funeral oration over
Julius Caesar:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man
Those who elected Trump must be enjoying the creative
momentum of American humour irrespective of the criminal
record, violent force, horrors and killings implied against
the American people at a climax of great upheaval called
'domestic terrorism' and reason to unfold mischievous
futuristic catastrophes by men who are feared and questioned
for moral and intellectual integrity to change America into
a wonderland of experimental democracy claiming liberty,
justice and equality before law. Truth cannot be made more
true by fake statements. Often one wonders, how
President-elect Trump would see the occasion of a peaceful
transfer of presidential power come January 20th, 2025?
Would he reiterate the old cliches of abusive power and come
to reason the unreason to which he subjugated America in
2020:
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
Netanyahu felt a terrible sense of helplessness during the
unpredictable American presidential election time spot but
rejoiced at the re-election of Trump as he had renamed
'Golan Heights' as 'Trump Heights' - the occupied territory
belonging to Syria. The contradictions covered up by adroit,
Trump wants the Panama Canal back, and would it be renamed
as "Trump Canal", and claims to occupy Greenland to be of
security necessity, and could it be renamed as " Trump
Greenland", and not to mention of Canada as a 51st state,
ridiculed by the outgoing Canadian PM Trudeau who had a
little embarrassing encounter with Trump in Florida. Would
Canada be renamed after Trump declares forceful victory? At
times, people who make phony jokes could become a joke in
the annals of history.
The history of force is always trivial and endangers the
present and sustainable future. "Hell will break" warns
President elect Trump to the Arab leaders and Hamas if
Israeli hostages are not freed prior to his taking of the
office. They "should not have been taken in the first place"
reiterates Trump not understanding how Israel occupied
Palestine and continuously bombed the people of Gaza for
decades. If time and truth carry any meaning, America
desperately needs a new awakening of consciousness and moral
soul. Paranoid and politically charged with failure,
Netanyahu could re-emerge as a kind of refurbished leader to
claim some relevance as Trump blames "Hezballah" for the
January 2020 attack on the US Capital. The fictitious blame
not only compliments Netanyahu's psyche but shocks the
spirits of dead leaders of Hezbollah targeted by Israel. Was
Brutus intelligent or Antony right to deliver a rational
speech on the body of Julius Caesar? Do the masses in
America or the Western democracy live in a reality which is
not their own except pernicious consequences wanting a
navigational change, reasoned morality and equal justice for
all.
Cynicism about politicians is always endemic and part of the
seamless democratic cultures constantly progressive and
often rebuked by social and political entertainment as an
after dinner joke. The masses have a passion for happiness
and progress, but they never imagine or do not wish to think
that politics is a game of pretense - stage acting best
portrayed and fashioned by hourly hired media consultants
and advisors to win the political elections and deceive the
masses that "Emperor has clothes." There is always much evil
and much good in every society but evil cannot diagnose
political tyranny, falsehood and resentment, the cure to
evil is honesty, equal justice, freedom of expression, moral
values and righteousness to lead and serve the people. The
prospects of global peace, equal justice and conflict
resolution are disappearing after what has been witnessed in
Gaza, Ukraine and other parts of the world. The global
systems of responsible governance are broken and the US
supporting Israeli war made it dysfunctional and are alleged
by the ICC and ICJ to have committed crimes against humanity
and genocide in Gaza. If Trump has a vision for change and
peace for America, should know his strengths and weaknesses
and be cautious not to foresee the world through the eyes of
Netanyahu but come out of the perplexities with clarity of
his own mind to co-exist with the larger global community.
If he believes in making America great again, it would be
through peace and not intransigence against Panama,
Palestinians or Canada or Greenland. He would have to
rebuild his own credibility as a leader who can lead despite
perpetuated ignorance and rejection of learning from
history. It could be a hollow humour coming out of hell to
imagine if America or some West European nations have any
sense of human rights, to protect the civilians in war like
Gaza or Ukraine and to support the conscientious global
community standing for peace, justice and the end of bogus
wars against innocent people.

Prophet (SAW): *Polish for Tarnished Hearts*{!}~*The Heart
is Tarnished by Two Things and Polished by Two Things*
'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]
that....
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 [2] things...
Heedlessness and Sin...
it is polished by two [2] things...
Remembrance and asking Forgiveness."
