IT WAS COLD during March to Pentagon:
18 degrees F! As usual the Media Lied!
Here's a note from a non-Muslim reader. [See eyewitness account below.]
After some deliberation, I did go to D.C. today. It was so cold and
windy, my driveway was icy, but had already opted to go.
I was so distressed, when I arrived home, to have R tell me that the
media are saying that there was just about an equal number of pro war
to anti-war protesters. This was definitely not true. There were a
smattering of pro-war people along the edges of the march, but
nothing significant. It's really a downer, after taking the trouble
to brave this weather, to have the effort relegated to insignificance.

Iraqi Suffering Reaches Mega Proportions
According to UNHCR, an estimated 750,000 Iraqi refugees are in Jordan
and more than 1,000,000 in Syria. [March 16, 2007]
Book Received
Challenging the New Orientalism:
Dissenting Essays on the "War Against Islam"
by M. Shahid Alam. Order from:
www.islampub.com. 2006, 248 pages, $19.95.
Charming layout and printing.
New Trend strongly recommends this book to all intellectuals interested
in the issues related to the criticism of Islam in America. Shahid
Alam, from Bangladesh, shoots down Zionist scholars with as much
accuracy as M.M. Alam observed in shooting down Indian jet fighters
in the 1965 war with Pakistan. He demolishes Tom Friedman in one
brilliant chapter and breaks Bernard Lewis into little pieces with
great economy of analysis.
New Trend will publish a detailed review later, inshallah
ISLAM IN AMERICA: The Treachery of Siraj Wahhaj, al-Amoudi & ISNA
by Kaukab Siddique
New Trend urges SIRAJ WAHHAJ and ISNA [the so-called Islamic Society
of North America] to repent and seek forgiveness from Allah and
apologize to the Muslim Ummah for helping a Zionist judge to
send Shaikh Omar 'Abdel Rahman to prison for life.
SIRAJ WAHHAJ lied under oath, telling the Zionist judge, Michael Mukasey,
that Dr. Abdel Rahman taught Muslims to "rob banks!" Shaikh Omar is so
strong in his morals that he would not eat meat unless sacrificed
as zabiha according to Islamic Law, let alone teaching illegal
activity: He is an expert in FIQH. Siraj calumniated him with this
big lie.
Siraj later gave a big interview to the Wall Street Journal and
repeated his story about the Shaikh as if it is a joke. Siraj goes
around claiming to be a Muslim leader and collecting money for
ISNA-related projects while the great scholar of Islam Shaikh Omar
languishes in a cell in America's gulag. Siraj did not care that
earlier the same Wall Street Journal had ruined the career of
Imam Warith Deen Umar, a much greater man than Siraj will ever
be. The Wall Street Journal also sent out Asra Nomani to
infiltrate Pakistan.
Along with Siraj, another ISNA man, Abdur Rahman al-Amoudi, also helped
the Zionists by claiming that it is okay for a Zionist judge to be in
charge of the trial of Shaikh Omar. Al-Amoudi's money games finally
landed him in prison. His great friends Mahdi Bray and Mauri
Saalakhan have still not given any account of their close
relationship with Al-Amoudi. Were funds involved in this activity?
Read al-Amoudi's confession.
Somebody should advise Siraj Wahhaj: he should apologize, or one day
the Muslim world will put him and ISNA on trial.
Eyewitness Account
Peace Legions Besiege Pentagon War Center: Americans Curse Bush,
Demand Troop Withdrawal without Delay: Islamic Presence Felt:
Haitian, Filipino Reps Speak. Call to Close Down Prisons.
New Trend Special
On March 17, 2007 the ANSWER Coalition organized a very large anti-war
demonstration in Washington, DC-Northern Virginia. By 12.30 PM
thousands of demonstrators were pouring into the streets at
Constitution ave. and 23rd street. This was a very young crowd
from hundreds of organizations across the country. Right on time,
the protestors started marching towards Virginia, crossed the
Potomac river and converged on the Pentagon, the central headquarters
for America's worldwide military operations. The seemingly
impregnable center of America's offensive power was struck on
9.11.01 by Islamic martyrdom operators but has quite recovered
from the blow. Now it was facing a new kind of threat, columns of
Americans demanding peace instead of war! At a time when Bush's
support base has dropped to less than 35%, in places to 20%, the
demonstrators marched with a new assurance now that they represent
a national consensus.
As the demonstrators marched, they chanted slogans against the war
in Iraq demanding an IMMEDIATE withdrawal of U.S. troops. More and
more, demands for the IMPEACHMENT of Bush have become common. Credit
goes to Ramsey Clark who started the impeachment campaign more than
a year back with an initial list of 500,000 signatures.
Along the way and near the way, there were small groups of COUNTER
DEMONSTRATORS who had been galvanized by a false rumor that the
graveyards of war dead would be desecrated. The police were out
in large numbers while government helicopters flew overhead trying
to drown out the sound of the anti-war chanting.
For once the ISLAMIC PRESENCE was recognizable owing to the activism
of young Islamic protestors. There were people from several Islamic
entities: Masjid al-Islam and Ummah Savers in Washington, DC; Muslim
students from the University of Maryland Baltimore County; and Jamaat
al-Muslimeen. There were also a few Islamic people from other cities
but too scattered among the columns of ANSWER marchers. There were a
few secularist Muslims too, including Pakistanis who distributed a
flyer condemning the murder of Baluch leader Akbar Khan Bugti. There
were also a few secular Arab activists, mostly Palestinian.
How to make the ISLAMIC PRESENCE FELT among so many thousands of
protestors ? The problem was solved when Br. Bilal, a tall
African-American brother from Masjid al-Islam started chanting
TAKBEER, ALLAHU AKBAR and every Muslim joined in and even a few
non-Muslims who recognize it now as the Muslim call for STRUGGLE.
Nadrat Siddique led the Islamic chanting using a real loud megaphone.
She was wearing a deep red dress in the tradition of Ayesha Siddiqa,
r.a., as reported in Hadith. After she led the chants for 45 minutes,
Br. Kaukab and then Br. Aqeel from Philadelphia used the megaphone
to deliver Jamaat al-Muslimeen's message. Imagine the scene as these
chants were interspersed with Br. Bilal's repeated slogan of Allahu
Akbar! Here are the chants: Try them in your own rallies:
What do we want for.... [This was said in front of each country name]:
Palestine?
U.S. Out!
Pakistan?
U.S. Out!
Iraq, Iran?
U.S. Out!
U.S. Out of Muslim Lands!
What do we want for.... [again repeated for each]
U.S. Out!
Indonesia?
U.S. Out!
And Kashmir?
U.S. Out!
U.S. Out of Muslim Lands
One, we are the Muslims
Two, a little bit louder
Three, we want Palestine to be free
La hawla wallah quwat illah billah
[The following was the central slogan]
From Iraq to Palestine
Occupation is a crime
La illahha ill Allah
Muhammad rasullallah
La illahha ill Allah
Freedom for Jerusalem
La illahha ill Allah
Freedom for Jerusalem

OUTREACH to Baltimore Muslims at Biggest Mosque
On March 9, 2007 Jamaat al-Muslimeen literature was distributed after
Juma' salat at Masjid ar-Rahmah on the West Side of Baltimore. The
literature included an extensive article by Dr. Kaukab Siddique on
CALIPHATE vs DEMOCRACY.
More than 500 people pray at this masjid and we did not have enough
papers to give to everyone. We need funds from readers to publish
enough papers to continue our outreach. [The papers were well received.
Looks like the efforts of some people in this community to stop Jamaat
al-Muslimeen have failed. The people in charge are either unwilling
or unable to stop the distribution.]
Two Hour Interview with Radio Lewis News Emphasized Oppression of
U.S. Muslims by U.S. Zionist Regime : Islamic Women in Islamabad
Challenged General Musharraf
Lewis News has a Muslim-friendly program coming out of Washington State
on the Pacific coast. It reaches 800,000 people on the west coast of
the U.S. and in various parts of the world. During the night of March
16-17, Dr. Kaukab Siddique was the guest in an interview-conversation
with Mr. Schantz of Lewis News, which lasted for 2 hours from 11 PM
to 1 AM Eastern Standard Time. It will be replayed for two more days
and then put on the Lewis News web site for 6 months. There were no
commercials in this program so the conversation actually continued
for 2 hours, minus 2 one minute breaks Dr. Siddique took for tea .
[Dr. Siddique drinks green tea from China.] Thanks for making the
interview possible go to Br. Zafar Minhas and Br. Nashid Abdul Khaliq,
both based out of "Saudi" Arabia.
Here are some of the main points Dr. Siddique made as he was goaded on
by his interviewer, Mr. Schantz, who is, to put it mildly, strong
opposed to the Bush administration in truly American nationalist style.
The U.S. could not win in Iraq owing to Islamic resistance, particularly
in Anbar, Baghdad and north to Mosul. Without understanding Islam,
Americans cannot understand the process of change in our world.
Islam has its own agenda and Islamic forces want to implement the
Qur'an and the authentic Hadith in the form of Shar'ia.
According to the universally accepted principle of self-determination,
Muslims have the right to shape their nations according to Islam. Bush
and the Zionists present this effort as "terrorism."
In every Muslim country, people are rising up, usually peacefully but
sometimes with weapons, to make Islam real.
The U.S. has planted dictators in almost every Muslim country, linked
to Israel, be it Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, Musharraf of Pakistan,
Abdullah of Jordan.
Americans who are non-Zionist and not part of the power structure
should visit Muslim countries and create international friendship.
The Muslims are not against the American people. [We invite Mr.
Schantz to visit Pakistan.] Islamic hospitality is alive and well.
Daniel Pearl's beheading was much too cruel but notice that he was an
Israeli, using American cover to infiltrate Pakistan whose people see
Israeli Jews as the enemies of peace and of humanity. [Mr. Schantz'
comment: We don't behead anyone. Instead we obliterate entire families
with missiles or drop cluster bombs in populated areas.]
Sooner or later America will realize that U.S. support for Israel is
the root of the conflict. Israelis need to come home peacefully.
[Mr. Schantz' comment: U.S. won't stop supporting Israel.]
General Musharraf has been cornered by the Pakistani people but he
survives owing to a mercenary army funded and armed by the U.S.
It's difficult for Americans to know about Pakistan because the
tiny Americanized enclaves of secular Pakistanis are the only sources
of information about Pakistan in the U.S. media. The concerns and
issues facing the Pakistani people are blocked by these
westernized elites.
Recently ISLAMIC WOMEN, dressed in strictly Islamic outer garments,
defied the power of General Musharraf [also known as Busharraf because
he is Bush's puppy] and won. The U.S. media did not get this news
at all although the women's uprising was in ISLAMABAD, the capital
of Pakistan, and was reported in all the Urdu language newspapers.
Within America, the regime is oppressing the Muslims. Our leaders are in prison, our innocents are in prison, our people in their thousands have been oppressed by the Bush administration. [Here Dr. Siddique identified the following political prisoners being held by the U.S.]
1. Imam Jamil al-Amin, on fabricated charges.
2. Ahmed 'Abdel Sattar,
60 years for talking on the phone to the Egyptian dictator's opponents.
3. Dr. Ali Timimi for giving Islamic teachings which the regime
disapproves of, LIFE in prison.
4. Masaud Khan, visited an anti-India Islamic camp in Pakistan,
sentenced to 90 years.
5. Jose Padilla, accused of "dirty bomb" plot, a charge later
dropped, given "special treatment" in a cell for 3 years, now is a
helpless wreck, and many, many others.........................
U.S. Muslims should stand up to the U.S. government and stop the
oppression. Instead, many of their organizations are led by people
working for the U.S. government interests.
Jamaat al-Muslimeen is trying to change the situation of America's
Muslims by peaceful means, uncompromising but analytical, systematic
and organized.

Muslims should go to our web site, the biggest Islamic site in the U.S.:

U.S. State Department's "Imam" Turned Down by India's Muslim:
Yahya Hendi Exposed.
Was it an Attempt to Counter Br. Hodari Ali's Historic Visit to India?
[ It appears that the U.S. State Department was disturbed by the huge
success of Br. Hodari Ali's visit to India where masses of Indian
Muslims and Dalits {Black Indians} welcomed him. To counter the
independent Islamic movement, the White House sent out a well known
Uncle Tom and bootlicker Yahya Hendi to India. He sings the songs of
how happy the Muslims are in USA . In effect, the oppressors and mass
murderers in the White House wanted to use Hendi for their own purposes.
Unfortunately for the regime, India's Muslims are much too sharp to be
fooled by such tactics. Here are some quotes on the subject from the
India correspondent of USA Today dated March 15. -editor's note]
"The chaplain, Imam Yahya Hendi, was in India for three days late last
week to debunk myths about the status and treatment of Muslims in
America, much as he has done in State Department-sponsored trips to
the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
The visit, arranged by Karen Hughes' two-year-old public diplomacy
office at the State Department, did produce successes.
" But several Muslim leaders contacted in advance by U.S. diplomats
refused to have anything to do with the visit.
"At our mosque the imam wanted to lead a mass prayer and interact with
the people," said Hyder Ali, a spokesman for the Baitul Aman Mosque,
the largest in West Bengal. "But we turned down the request ... because
he was acting on behalf of a government which for long years has been
responsible for killings and sufferings of innocent Muslims in many
countries including Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan. We did not want
to betray our brothers and sisters in those countries by extending
him hospitality in our mosque."
Nur-ur Rahman Barkati, the chief of another prominent Calcutta mosque,
said he would be pleased to allow Imam Hendi to conduct a prayer at
his mosque had the American been on a "purely religious mission, with
no connection with America's foreign diplomacy."
"He is a Muslim -- he is our brother. But we could not take him in
our arms because he was here as a representative of the American
government and George Bush -- the enemies of Islam and the world's
Muslims," he said.'

German Court Sentences 'Holocaust Denier' Rudolf to Prison Term
European Jewish Press - AFP
http://www.ejpress.org/article/15129
A German court on Thursday sentenced 42-year-old Holocaust denier
Germar Rudolf to two and a half years in prison for inciting racial
hatred. The court in Mannheim in southern Germany found that Rudolf
had contested the murder of six million Jews in Europe during World
War II in propaganda on the Internet and in various publications.
Rudolf described the Holocaust as "a gigantic fraud" at the start of
his trial. He said that he had found no evidence that the gas chambers
used to kill hundreds of thousands of Jews ever existed.

Nandigram Faces the wrath of the State.
West Bengal Government with CPM Cadres Begin War
Against The People of Nandigram
Ten/Fifteen killed and few hundred wounded :
women children and men continue to fight
This is not just a 'news'. It is a shocking and shaking cry from the
people of Nandigram that has just reached us here, this moment. Since
yesterday, there was a fear and a threat expressed that CPM has planned
to attack with thousands of Police and CPM Cadres joining them, armed
and prepared to forcibly occupy their land and the territory. The
public statement to this effect was made by none else but Shri P.R.Roy
Secretary, Home Affairs and Raj Kanojia IG- Law and Order, state of
West Bengal. The opposition in WB on the other hand, during assembly
session, had demanded a dialogue to start immediately.
As per the latest information, thousands of Police on entering the
area, this morning, started firing, and 20 at least are found killed
while hundreds are wounded lying on the street. Police are forcibly
taking away the dead bodies. Women are at the forefront and have
faced the attack the most. Children and men along with women are on
the streets coming out of homes and villages to stop the brutal State
and Party forces who are trying to take the territory under siege for
SEZ with MNCs.
We are also informed that media persons were stopped from witnessing
the brutal atrocities while two media persons from TARA News are said
to be missing.
This Brutal attack must be immediately condemned and CPM must be
compelled to stop murdering farmers immediately. Such state fascism
and corporate war against people can't and must not be tolerated.
What happens in Nandigram and West Bengal is to decide the fate of
not just hundreds of thousands of farmers, fish workers, laborers,
artisans who voted for left front but now are in unprecedented
battle for survival.
Please fax your condemnation letter immediately to
Prime Minister: (Fax) 011- 23016857, 23015603

U.S. allies in Africa may have engaged in secret renditions
A network of US allies in East Africa secretly have transferred to
prisons in Somalia and Ethiopia at least 80 people who were captured
in Kenya while fleeing the recent war in Somalia, according to human
rights advocates in Kenya. Kenyan authorities made the arrests as part
of a US-backed military campaign in December and January against
Somalia's Islamist militias, which Washington claims are linked to
Al-Qaeda. At least 150 prisoners, including men and women of 17
nationalities and children as young as 7 months, were held in Kenya
for several weeks before most of them were transferred covertly to
Somalia and Ethiopia, where they are being held incommunicado, the
groups charge. American officials in Kenya and Washington declined
to comment on the allegations that they were involved in the
detentions or renditions.
