Imam Jamil Al-Amin Faces Possible Death by Medical Neglect,
US Authorities Responsible
Imam Jamil Al-Amin's son, Kairi Al-Amin, reported earlier
that his father had finally been moved to FMC Butner (North
Carolina) for much needed medical attention. The move
appeared to be in response to a concerted campaign by
activists, which included a protest at the Bureau of
Prisons, and a broad spread email/ letter writing campaign.
On March 7, Kairi said on social media that the imam has
Stage 4 cancer, and requested du'ahs. Jamaat Al-Muslimeen
said in a statement Friday that if the imam dies, the US
Justice System will be criminally liable for the death of an
internationally renowned and respected Muslim leader and
scholar, convicted on the shoddiest of evidence and
imprisoned for a crime for which someone else has issued a
credible confession.
New York
Columbia University and ICE Say No Free Speech for
Palestinian Students
On March 9, Columbia University, increasingly known as a
bastion for apartheid apologetics, permitted the
imprisonment of one of its recent graduates, Mahmoud Khalil.
During his time at Columbia, Khalil was a leader of the
pro-Palestine encampment, which said the campus should
divest from companies which manufacture weapons and/or are
invested in Israel. When the university police attacked the
encampment, he was one of the negotiators between the campus
and the student encampment. He holds a green card, is
married to a US citizen, and has no criminal record. And he
has not been charged with any criminal activity.
Khalil, who experienced doxxing and other severe harassment
on campus in the week leading up to his arrest, had asked
university authorities for protection. The university did
not respond. Instead, they allowed ICE agents to enter the
campus and detain Khalil. The 30-year-old activist was
arrested at his Manhattan apartment, which is part of
university housing.
Interestingly, when ICE came to arrest him, they claimed he
was on a student visa, and that it would be revoked. When
his wife and his attorney told them he was a green card
holder, they changed their story and said his green card
would be revoked.
Khalil's wife, who is eight months pregnant, was threatened
with arrest when she refused to leave her husband's side.
Afterwards she, as well as Khalil's attorney, could not
locate Khalil for many hours. Eventually it was learned that
Khalil was being held at an ICE detention facility in
Louisiana.
Over 3 million people have signed a petition calling for
Mansour's release, and the ACLU, ADC, and other groups have
deplored his detention.
On March 12, a large group of activists from Jewish Voices
for Peace took over Trump Tower in Manhattan, demanding
Khalil's release. Ninety-eight people were arrested at the
protest.
In March 10 post on his social media platform Truth Social,
Trump said he would deport all those who support Hamas and
engage in "anti-semitic" activity. One wonders if he
realizes Mahmoud, a Palestinian, is a Semite.
The Censored Become Censors
All of this has very strong implications for civil
liberties. It is troubling that President Trump, who himself
was silenced and censored during the Biden presidency,
including being banned from many social media platforms, has
permitted this. His new HHS secretary, Robert F. Kennedy,
Jr., has complained about being censored for his views on
fluoride and other topics. And many in the Republican Party
were silenced or otherwise came under fire under Democratic
administrations for speaking out against the LGBTQ+ agenda.
Sadly, now that Trump is in office, his administration is
engaging in broad spread First Amendment violations against
Palestinians and their allies. They ought to recognize the
similarity in what they (the Trumpers and other GOP members)
endured—and what they are meting out. Bottom line:
Free speech should be for all, not just for some select
groups.
Texas
Protest for Aafia Announced
By Nadrat Siddique
A coalition called DFW Free Aafia announced a protest for
Dr. Aafia Siddiqui at FMC Carswell on March 22. The date
loosely coincides with the anniversary of the young
educator's abduction by security forces in Pakistan in 2003,
which led to her torture, the murder of her infant son, and
later her railroading in US federal court. Numerous groups
including ICNA's Social Justice Council, American Muslims
for Palestine, CAIR-DFW, Texas for Palestine, and Jewish
Voices for Peace (DFW) have signed on as co-sponsors.
After President Biden denied Aafia's petition for
compassionate release at the eleventh hour, some thought the
movement to free her would fizzle out. Alhamdulillah it has
not, and both the Pakistan-based Free Aafia Movement and
Aafia supporters in the US are continuing to fight hard for
her release. And her sister, Karachi-based epileptologist
Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui, although deeply disappointed at Biden's
cold-hearted decision, appears as strong as ever in her
fight to free Aafia.
Additionally, her legal team, led by Clive Stafford-Smith
and Maria Kari, are employing several new legal moves in the
effort to free her:
They are attempting to persuade the governments of the US
and Pakistan to agree to exchange Aafia for another
prisoner;
They will litigate her cases in court in New York, apply
for habeas corpus, and also for compassionate release;
They will be continuing to pursue a case they've already
filed, challenging the inhumane and illegal conditions of
her imprisonment in Texas.
The legal team has a workable plan of action to free Dr.
Aafia Siddiqui, but they need help. While they work pro
bono, there are huge costs for filing legal briefs, travel
to/from Texas, and much more. Please consider donating to
the legal effort using the link below:
How Arab - Muslim Leaders Betrayed the People?
By Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
"War provides an outlet for every evil element in man's
nature. It enfranchises cupidity and greed gives a charter
to petty tyranny, glorifies cruelty and places in position
of power the vulgar and base." - (C.E.M Joad. Guide to
Modern Wickedness, 1936)
What if Arab -Muslim Leaders were Intelligent and Honest?
Are they deaf or dead conscience not to see what is
happening on the ground across Gaza and other parts of
Palestine? Their portrait of deception, vice and treachery
to the expectations of masses is exhibited worldwide. Every
authoritarian leader, every prince, every king is a despot
in his heart and enemy of the human race as history reveals.
The Arab Summit (Cairo) should have known and determined the
agenda and issues facing helpless people of Gaza for their
security and survival. How to undo the Israeli occupation
and restore normal life to the people of Gaza was the top
most issue to be considered and resolved. Not so, they
wanted to fly high to rebuild Gaza even though it is
occupied and targeted daily to disrupt the civilian lives
trying to imagine some consolation in an unthinkable world
of tomorrow. Their absurd proposition to rebuild Gaza under
continuous Israeli occupation is nothing more than a joke to
common sense. Most modern Arab states are managed by secret
police and masses live in fear and hatred of the rulers.
Wherever people cannot think freely and reason the unreason,
consequently human progress is stalled and anarchy and
insanity become the rule of the land.
PM Netanyahu has achieved his ambitions to destroy Gaza for
vengeance and to destabilize the Arab world for futuristic
domination. and The Arab League and OIC do not represent the
Muslim masses except they are oligarch entities to mislead
the people. The Hamas- Israel ceasefire deal was shaky,
fluid and unpredictable from the very beginning as Israel
and America just wanted their hostages freed and keep the
occupation of Gaza intact without Israeli IDF withdrawal.
Most of the leading Arab leaders were complicit in making
the Gaza war happen and catastrophic destruction of the
infrastructures and killings were happening on their
television screen and witnessed by the concerned global
community. They were silent spectators as some have heavy
financial investments in Israel and American corporate
entities producing AI, surveillance technology and other
industrial setups. If logic, honesty and sense of
moral-political responsibility were implied, a collaborative
will and action was deemed necessary to check the Israeli
intransigence and warfare against 2.5 million innocent
civilian population of Gaza and offer some leadership
security and protection to the beleaguered masses. Please
see: "Israel Lost the War and America Betrayed Humanity in
Gaza."
UncommonThought.com/mtblog/archives/2024/05/15/israel-lost-the-war-and-america-betrayed-humanity-in-gaza.php
Ironically, Arab-Muslim leaders talk in public discourse but
lack prompt action to offer any tangible help to the victims
of War. They lost the path of reality and truth and just
pretended to be concerned about the Israel onslaught of the
Gaza masses. The deaths and destruction are unparalleled in
modern times as if it was another chapter of a Third World
War against the Arab and Muslim world. The affluent oil
producing Arab leaders breathe oxygen away in seclusion and
comforts of palaces guarded by foreign mercenaries and do
not live with people to know the reality of on-going pains
and horrors of killings imposed on the people of
Palestine.
Arab Leaders live in Palaces, not with People
The Arab world lives in a conflicting time zone and its
stance does not match the reason and aggressiveness of the
Israeli war plans for 'Greater Israel' supported by the US
and more so by the Trump Presidency. Does reason not know
how to protect the Islamic interests? Now, American and
Israeli unreason appears a dominant brute force to destroy
the Muslim masses and put a finished answer on the
Palestinian identity and movement for an independent State
of Palestine. The UNO and global systems of peace and
security are broken, dysfunctional and would never act to
safeguard the interests of the Arab-Muslim world, simply
because the Arab-Muslim leadership is composed of dummies,
inept and egoistic former agents of European imperialism and
have no moral or intellectual capacity to respond to
situations of urgency for the people of Islamic world.
Their cowardly unreason and unthinking of Islamic interests,
is causing catastrophic outcomes for the besieged people of
Gaza and across Palestine. The Arab-Muslim leaders are more
like a cult working together to replace the Islamic values
and principles of accountability with [Continued]

Zionist Motives in Federal Government's Speech Restrictions
By Sis. Aisha Jamaat al-Muslimeen New York City
President (King) Trump is in the White House because the
Electoral College put him in there. The popular vote has
never been the reason for an American President to get
elected because the Founding Fathers, who wrote the
Constitution, were concerned with biases. Or, they were
concerned with the status quo they established, losing power
to a just system.
Some wealthy Michigan Muslims supported Trump because he
promised to organize a ceasefire between Israel, which
immediately violated it, and Hamas. He claims he did, but he
has demonstrated in the past and now that he is a staunch
Zionist, who has targeted Pro-Palestinian protestors for
deportation. This is a part of Trump's mission to end
"antisemitism" in America.
The American government has always labeled Hamas a terrorist
organization, but now in a lowdown, dirty move, the Trump
Administration has accused Pro-Palestinian protestors of
being Hamas' allies! This devilish logic will make any
protestor a target for deportation or imprisonment.
Recently, ninety people were arrested at New York's Trump
Tower for protesting in support of Palestinian protestor
Mahmoud Khalil, who has been detained by Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE). He is being threatened with
deportation. His crime was negotiating with Columbia
University on behalf of other Pro-Palestinian Protestors.
Khalil has a green card but his wife, Noor Abdallah, who is
eight months pregnant, is an American citizen. His attorneys
are suing on his behalf to get him freed.
Khalil was to begin a job next month in April, which would
have provided the needed health benefits for his family. As
he is being detained in a Jena, La prison, he worries about
his wife and missing the birth of his child.
The Justice Department has accused Columbia University of
hiding "illegal aliens" on its campus. Deputy Attorney
General Todd Blanche revealed that Homeland Security agents
have searched Columbia University residences with warrants.
The Trump Administration canceled $400 million in funding to
Columbia University as punishment for not aggressively
pursuing students who criticized Israel.
Zionism poses a significant threat to our freedom of speech.
How will America respond? Will Americans acknowledge this
issue, or turn a blind eye because the targets are people of
color?

enough in pursuing students who criticized Israel.
Zionism is the reason why our freedom of speech is in
jeopardy. How will America respond? Will Americans wake up
or turn a blind eye because non-Whites are the targets? Who
will win: Supporters of the Constitution or the Welfare
State of Israel?

Guidance From Sis. Yasmin
Prophet (SAW): Reward of Feeding a Fasting Person
The Prophet ﷺ said...
"Whoever feeds the person who is breaking his fast,
he will have his reward (for his fasting) without
decreasing
anything from the reward of the fasting person."
[Source: Al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Maajah - Classed as Sahih by al Albaani]
ALLAH~ [May HE be glorified and exalted] says...
'one of the characteristics of the believers who deserve
Paradise is that they feed others...'{!}
ALLAH ~ [Azza wa Jal ] says ~
"And they give food, in spite of their love for it
[or for the love of Him]
to the 'Miskeen' [the Poor]~ the Orphan, and the captive,
saying...
'We feed you seeking Allah's ( عزّ
وجلّ) countenance only.
we wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.
'Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and
distressful,
that will make the faces look horrible
[from extreme dislike to it]..'
So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and
gave them 'Nadhrah' [a light of beauty] and joy .
and their recompense shall be Paradise,
and silken garments, because they were patient"
[Source: 'Qur`an'~ Surat 'Al-Insan' ~76~ A #'s 8 -12]
The Prophet [Sal Allahu `Alaihi wa Sallam]
informed us in the 'Hadith' above, saying that
whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his Fast
will have a reward like his without the fasting
person losing any reward...{!}
So, during the month of 'Ramadan'
[and even during other months]
it is very virtuous and rewarding to feed others
who are breaking their fast...{!}
It is also very virtuous and rewarding to feed others in
general.
PROPHET ﷺ said...
" You will not enter Paradise until you truly believe,
and you will not truly believe until you love one
another."
[Source ~ Sahih Muslim]
In another narration from 'Abd-Allah ibn 'Umar (Radi Allahu
Anhu) related that a man asked the
PROPHET~ [Sal Allahu `Alaihi wa Sallam]...
"What is the best thing in Islam ?"
PROPHET ﷺ answered...
"Feeding others and giving the greeting of
'Salaam' to those whom you know and those whom you do not
know." Source:Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim
Ibn Rajab (Allah have mercy upon him) said in al-Fath
(1/43):
"The 'Hadith' (mentioned above) makes the connection
between feeding others and spreading 'Salaam'
because this combines two good actions in both word and
deed,
which is perfect good treatment ('Ihsan')
indeed, this is the best thing that one can do
in Islam, after the obligatory duties."
A Little Note...
Many 'Hadiths' are reported regarding
the virtues of providing food for others to break their
fast.
Feeding others in general brings a great reward to the one
who does it...!
ALLAH~ (May HE be glorified and exalted ) states...
that one of the characteristics of the Believers who
deserve
Paradise is that they feed others.
