MUSLIM WOMAN MARTYR HONORED IN IRAQ

The Zionist media are full of attacks on Muslim women, trying to present hijab, niqab and burqa as signs of oppression and presenting bikinis, and nakedness of women, lesbianism as signs of liberation. VOICES OF ISLAMIC WOMEN ARE SELDOM HEARD.

Recently a Palestinian woman WAFA IDREES embraced martyrdom in an attack on the Zionists who have occupied Palestine. On January 30, Iraq set up a monument in central Baghdad to honor the supreme sacrifice of Sis. Wafa. Wafa's mother is proud of the martyr. She said:"It doesn't matter which group you support: Hamas or PLO: we are one nation."

IS THERE A WAY TO LET BR. ABDUL HAMID (John Walker Lindh) know that Muslims in America support him? The next court appearance is on Feb.6. Let us know if you would like to picket the court in Alexandria, Virginia on Feb. 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DID YOU KNOW THAT GERMANY IS THE BIGGEST SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL AFTER THE U.S.? Germany is also one of the most repressive regimes in the world. It actually practices THOUGHT CONTROL. Germany is persecuting a scholar named GUNTER DECKERT, 57, a father of two. He was imprisoned for two years because he interpreted an American lecturer's speech. Then he was given another TWO YEARS and Three months for chairing a lecture by historian David Irving. He did not say anything himself. The Jew-controlled German government considers Deckert a Nazi but he is simply a supporter of free speech who wants the real history of Germany to be discussed.

THIS IS PAGE 3 OF OUR PETITION TO ATTORNEY GENERAL ASHCROFT IN SUPPORT OF IMAM JAMIL al-AMIN. Please save it on your disc, add your name and mail back to us.

From Jamaat al-Muslimeen International (Phone: 410-435-5000)
To: Attorney General Ashcroft, Department of "Justice"
950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Rm. 4400, Washington, DC 20530-0001

Dear Attorney General Ashcroft
Muslims from across America are petitioning you to release their religious leader, Imam Jamil al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), who is being held in Fulton Country Jail, Atlanta, Georgia.
As the FBI was involved in the arrest of Imam Jamil al-Amin and the years of surveillance and persecution he has suffered at the hands of the U.S. government, we consider this a federal issue and hence are petitioning you.
The five point petition states as follows:

1. An independent commission of inquiry should be set up to study the incident(s) in which Imam Jamil al-Amin has been accused by the police/FBI.
2. The FBI must release its file on Imam Jamil al-Amin uncensored.
3. The Imam, Jamil al-Amin, must be freed unconditionally, pending the inquiry and be allowed to develop his Islamic community.
4. The Imam must be called by his Islamic name. When he says his name is Jamil al-Amin, no one has the right to call him H. Rap Brown.
5. We hereby affirm, based on his community work in Atlanta, etc., that the Imam is a symbol of Islamic and African struggle for honor and decency.
