Civil Democratic Islam

civil-democratic-islam.gif

Bismillah

This book pictured on the right is quite possibly one of the most arrogantly written books i think I have ever read. If you click the image you will be thrown into a world of conspiracy, deceit, and downright arrogance wherein you will be made aware of the plot that is twisting the minds of Muslims world wide.

Often anything with the word conspiracy attached to it is ignored, laughed at and dismissed as something irrelevant and unimportant. This is one of those times, I believe, we should all sit up and take notice and absorb all the information to the best of our ability.

It doesn’t come from Mr. anonymous, it was written by the lovely Cheryl Benard for an organisation called RAND who are a very influential policy makers linked to the Pentagon in Virginia.

This report sets out the policy agenda of US and allied governments in their war with Islam and details their plans to split the ummah into separate groups by attempting to reinterpret Qur’an and Hadith to fall in line with their own democratic world view. In doing so, they wish to support, encourage and promote those people who support their reinterpretation and alienate those who do not.

One example would be those people who believe Democracy is compatible with Shari’ah or preferable over Shari’ah would be supported and promoted and those who believe Muslims should work towards Shari’ah and would prefer Shari’ah would be ridiculed attacked and labelled fanatics.

This is just one example and there are many examples like it that are actually listed in this document.

The arrogance and nerve of the kufaar is just breathtaking, but as Allah (SWT) says;

“The Unbelievers spend their wealth to hinder (man) from the path of Allah (SWT), and so will they continue to spend; but in the end they will have (only) regrets and sighs; at length they will be overcome: and the Unbelievers will be gathered together to Hell”

This report was made in 2005, but I have just discovered it, so maybe I can be forgiven for raging about it?. I am sure there are more enlightened people who have their finger on the pulse but when I looked at the blogsphere there was no real conversation so I thought I would start it.

Someone who has already spoken about it is Imam Anwar Awlaki who has a talk about it called Battle for Hearts and Minds. A must listen!  N.B. you can download the mp3 in the talks section

Australians really hate Muslims, it seems

Bismillah

“Hatred has come forth upon their tongues, but what their hearts conceal is far worse”
(Qur’an 3.118)

 

Another video about the proposed Islamic School in Camden, Sydney Australia from the BBC here.

Does any of this stuff remind you of how the Jewish communities were treated in the past? hmm….

What’s Going on in Burma?

Bismillah

Hat tip to Sidi Kamran Abdul Qayyum who forwarded this link to me.

You could be forgiven for thinking that the article i am linking to below was refering to Occupied Palestine when reading the first few paragraphs, but what shocked me was the fact that it is about Burma and their oppression of their people.

Part two of this article describes the treatment that our brothers and sisters have had to put up with by their idol worshiping leaders.

Muslim villagers are ordered to worship the god of the majority people. They must also pay obeisance to (worship) monks, failing which they may face torture and death

British Media: Palestine & Israel

I have posted a few times about the bias reporting in the media and the effects certain words have on the general public. Interstingly, Arab Media Watch have just completed a very compelling report relating to British newspapers and their coverage of the Palestinain/Israeli conflict. Download pdf here

As you may have guessed, bias and unfair reporting isn’t just the domain of the BBC etc al, newspapers have been guilty of this major crime for years.

Whether people take notice of this report or not remains to be seen, but i for one, personally acknowledge its importance but more importantly the neccessity of these newspapers to answer some serious questions.

Below is a table comparing the usage of descriptive words between Palestinain attacks and Israeli attacks by major newspapers in the United Kingdom.

Help: Burma Cyclone Appeal

Bismillah

It has been 11 long days since the disaster hit Burma killing 10’s of thousands of people and people are in a desperate state waiting for help. Unfortunately, as you may have read or seen on the news, the government of Burma is not that forthcoming in accepting the help of others in “their crisis.” This has hampered relief efforts and is causing further deaths. There are some agencies, however, on the ground helping and Islamic Relief is partnering up with them to supply necessary aid.

There is also the unfolding disaster in China where over 13.000 people have been reported killed by the earthquake and a further 60.000 missing (which could rise)

We need to put our hands in our pockets and spend and we need to take action to help raise money for these disasters

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) says:

‘And strive with the strength of your legs to seek aid, rise with the strength of your arms -with weakness; all of this is from the doors of sadaqa’ Ahmed

In the words of the Zionist

While the world is celebrating the existence of the dark force of Zionist Israel I will continue to expose their evil to as many people as I can.

Here we have a couple of quotes from two men that ruled Israel during their lifetime. These quotes are astonishing in their frankness and they highlight the fact that the Zionists knew what they were doing to the Palestinaians was wrong and immoral

Ehud Barak (Prime Minister of Israel on May 17, 1999) said:had he been born a Palestinian, he “would have joined a terrorist organization.”

60 Bill Maxwell, “U.S. Should Reconsider Aid to Israel,” St. Petersburg Times, December 16, 2001.

As Ben-Gurion (first Prime Minister of Israel) told Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress:

“If I was an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it’s true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been antisemitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?”

Nahum Goldmann, The Jewish Paradox, trans. Steve Cox (Grosset and Dunlap, 1978), p. 99.

Both quotes from the book “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy

Remembering the Palestinian Nakba

Taken form an article in todays San Diego Union Tribune, and courtesy of Sidi Zabbar Ahmed.  This is something i thought should be read by everyone.

By Nasser Barghouti and Bassemah Darwish

Nearly 30 years since she had seen her Northern Galilee home in what she called “48 Palestine,” Rasmiya Barghouti was finally given a permit by the Israeli military authorities to visit. She decided to take two of her daughters and four of her grandchildren with her.

It took less than three hours to reach Safad, renamed Tsvat by Israel after 1948. The van stopped in front of the white stone home that held her childhood memories. She proceeded to the familiar metal door, where she knocked. A large eastern European woman opened the door; the two argued. Rasmiya returned to the van, her hardened face wet with tears. Her only words were: “She wouldn’t let me in! She still has the same curtains I made with my mother.”

They proceeded in silence, as she wept discretely, to lunch at a hotel on Lake Tiberias where her youngest grandchild grew hyper. Instead of imposing her usual military-style discipline on the child, she encouraged him to splatter water and make even “more noise” – a shock to the rest of the family.

The Israeli waiter hurriedly came to the table demanding, in Hebrew, they stop the raucous behavior. It was then that her defiance exploded into cursing the waiter in Arabic. “We can do whatever we please! This is my father’s hotel!” she yelled. Until that moment, her children and grandchildren had been sheltered from knowing anything about her dear loss.

The rage of this Palestinian woman was born out of seeing her childhood home, from which she was forced to leave in 1948, now occupied by a stranger who would not even allow her in. She’d seen her father’s hotel, which he was never allowed to vacate, taken over by strangers. For the first time since her violent dispossession in 1948, she was allowed to visit her homeland, but not to return. Because millions of other Palestinian refugees are denied even such a visit, Rasmiya was considered “lucky.”

While Israel celebrates 60 years since its establishment, Palestinians everywhere commemorate the “Nakba”(“Catastrophe” in Arabic) that befell them after armed Jewish militia raided their homes and expelled them.

The exclusionary Zionist vision of creating a Jewish state in Palestine meant the elimination of the indigenous, “non-Jewish” population. In his book, “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine,” Israeli historian Ilan Pappe writes: “ . . . on 10 March 1948 . . . veteran Zionist leaders together with young military Jewish officers, put the final touches to a plan for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.”

Pappe explains how Jewish militias, the future armed forces of the state of Israel, carried out a plan of large-scale intimidation and siege, setting fires to Palestinian homes, planting mines, destroying more than 500 villages, and exercising other terrorist activities. In the end, nearly 800,000 Palestinians were forced out of their homes and into refugee camps in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and elsewhere.

Rasmiya’s family was among this wave of refugees. This massive ethnic cleansing completed the first phase of the compulsory “transfer” that the founder of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, advocated in his address to the Jewish Agency Executive as early as 1938. Thus the Palestinians had become the victims of the victims of Europe.

Ten years ago, the late Edward Said commented on the “Israel at 50” celebrations: “I still find myself astonished at the lengths to which official Israel and its supporters will go to suppress the fact that a half century has gone by without Israeli restitution, recognition or acknowledgment of Palestinian human rights . . . the Palestinian Nakba is characterized as a semi-fictional event . . . caused by no one in particular.”

The same stubborn refusal to recognize the Palestinian Nakba characterizes the “Israel at 60” celebrations in the U.S. media today. For Palestinians, denial of the Nakba is tantamount to denying the Holocaust for Jews.

Remembering the Nakba is even more compelling given what former President Jimmy Carter describes as an apartheid-like system that Israel has built to entangle the Palestinians in a seemingly endless cycle of hopelessness and violence. Israel still denies millions of Palestinian refugees their U.N.-sanctioned right to go back to their homes simply because they are not Jewish. Israel continues its 41-year-old military occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. Israel continues to impose its savage blockade on the Gaza strip. Israel continues to build its illegal wall and settlements on occupied Palestinian land. And Israel continues to treat its own “non-Jewish” population as second-class citizens.

Can any conscientious person, then, celebrate Israel at 60?

When Israel has made reparations for its shameful past; when it has conformed to international law and universal human rights; when it has ended its brutal oppression of the indigenous people of Palestine; and when it has allowed Palestinians to practice their right to self-determination on their own land, we can all celebrate. Then, even Rasmiya’s descendants may celebrate.
