We all travel abroad and from my experience it is not the most pleasurable of experiences but now the UK government has introduced a new security check at the airports – Naked Scanners, and it does exactly what is says on the tin. Now police and security guards at our airports can see right through your clothes to the naked body like a pair of James Bond sun glasses.
The images are very clear and everything is exposed, everything but the people at Manchester Airport, where this is being tested, say that it is not pornagraphic and the images will be destroyed straight away.
It is quite unbelievable really, they can even see the genitals and for many Muslims, not to mention many other people who have self respect, this is not acceptable.
Will you allow you wife to be exposed like this to other men?
Are you ready?
Our women folk, who submit to Almighty Allah 
in piety and adopt the Nikaab, jilbab and hijab, are now being literally stripped naked by this government. Our honourable mothers and wives and daughters, who conceal themselves from the glare of men with clothes which are a means to protect them, are to be completely exposed to strange men who will be able to see their full figure.
What is the different between stripping off totally naked and going through one of these scanners? It is the same result, humiliation.
A spokesperson for RAND, a US government agency recently produced a document on how to target the Muslim Ummah and split it between sectarian and religious lines, said “One of the factors you have to look at is ease of circumvention,” he says. “You have to look for a net security benefit.”
The truth is that Muslims are stopped more often than non Muslims at airports, I, myself have been stopped and search many times and questioned by intelligence officers, so the community that will be hurt most by this invasion will be the Muslims.
The Dajjal and his army of shayateen will love nothing more than to expose our sisters in this way to cause more havoc and disruption to their travels. Although “they say” we can refuse it, history shows that in time it may become compulsory

Israeli Defence Minister and mass murderer Ehud Barak is visiting Britain to speak at the Labour Party Conference on Tuesday 29th September. Ehud Barak played a key role in the mindless and indiscriminate slaughter of women and children in Gaza in 2008/2009.
Whilst the world knows him as the prime architect of this horrendous carnage in Gaza, the Labour Party seems not to care by welcoming him with open arms. This is man with blood on his hands, so at least he will feel cosy amongst friends within the Labour Party.
The invitation by Brown is shameful but if you consider that they share the same world view we shouldn’t be that surprised. It could be argued those words are disingenuous but his invitation is surely a testament to their shared view on the Palestinian issue.
The Labour Party are in Brighton on Tuesday and for those brothers and sisters who are able to get there, Friends of Al Aqsa are holding a demonstration at 8.30pm Outside the Grand Hotel, Brighton where the conference is taking place, you would be serving the Ummah if you attended inshallah.

In 2003 George “Dubya” Bush along with his poodle Tony Blair were frantically going around the world trying to gain support for their war on Iraq, the “Coalition of the Willing.”
What we did not know at the time, although many guessed correctly, was that George Bush was seeing this war as part of Biblical prophecy and thought he was “on a mission from God,” According to the French President Jacques Chirac in his new book
It has now been widely reported that George W Bush called up the French President Jacques Chirac to try and persuade him to agree to the war he wanted to wage in Iraq by mentioning Gog and Magog and the final days before the “New Age begins”
Found on the Council for Secular Humanism website
Chirac recounts that the American leader appealed to their “common faith” (Christianity) and told him: “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East…. The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled…. This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins.”
This bizarre episode occurred while the White House was assembling its “coalition of the willing” to unleash the Iraq invasion. Chirac says he was boggled by Bush’s call and “wondered how someone could be so superficial and fanatical in their beliefs.”
After the 2003 call, the puzzled French leader didn’t comply with Bush’s request. Instead, his staff asked Thomas Romer, a theologian at the University of Lausanne, to analyze the weird appeal.
So, it is now clear that the war on Iraq had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction but rather Bush’s own fanatical evangelical Christian belief’s – supported of course by his fellow mass murderer and war criminal, Tony Blair, of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation.
So what does the Bible say about Gog and Magog, interestingly, quite a lot. In the Book of Revelation it states:
“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”
Bush wanted a piece of the action of course
Ezekiel 38-39 describes the following
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
I am surprised that the major news channels haven’t picked up on this, for me this is BIG news and worthy of further analysis. Over a million people have died in Iraq and Afghanistan because of Bush, let us not forget that fact, and we were force fed his lies day and night on every media channel in the whole damn world.
Now this same media that were brainwashing the world by repeating these words 24/7, seem to be very quiet about this new revelation, they are strangely quiet, mysteriously quiet and I would like to know why!
Is it because the people that wanted this war, encouraged this war, created this war and financed this war, are the same people who own and control the media corporations throughout the world? I wonder, how can one doubt otherwise?
This also lends much to the argument of many Muslims (of which I am one) that what we are witnessing in the world, is in fact a war on and against Islam and the Muslims.
Read about Gog and Magog in the Bible
Listen to this amazing lecture about Gog and Magog in the Qur’an and Ahadith
Our Prophet Muhammad 
said:
When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down. [Abu Daud; Book 41, No. 4764]
Not that we need any more evidence after our beloved Prophet Muhammad has spoken on a subject to believe something to be true, however it is always nice to see that 1400 years after his words were spoken western science is catching up.
Researchers in at the Texas A & M University discovered that if you are angry then the best thing to do is to lie down.
Taken from The Telegraph
…the students chosen for the study heard a voice recording of someone disparaging the intelligence, likeability and logical skills of the essays.
Volunteers who heard these insults while on their backs felt as angry as volunteers who were upright. However, measurements showed that in upright volunteers, a reaction in the brain that has been linked to anger and the likelihood of retaliating.
Those who received their insults while lying down, however, did not experience the same angry brain reaction.
The scientists now think that lying down could affect how the brain handles other emotions, such as desire and happiness.
Peter Bandettini, a brain imager at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, said: “It never occurred to me that body position might influence behavioural or neuronal activity in the context of aggression – but it makes sense.
“I do think that this is somewhat specialised to things like aggression or anger.”
The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad is human perfection!
May Allah confer blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad and bless and bestow peace upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad. And shower Your mercy upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad in the manner You conferred blessings, blessed and showered mercy upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim in all the worlds. Verily, You are the Praiseworthy, the Majestic.
To Muslims, Jerusalem houses one of the holiest Mosques, the Masjid-al-Aqsa and represents a place of greatest religious significance. This needs to be appreciated by the West before a sincere bridge of mutual friendship is built.
Al-Aqsa Mosque
Muslims call to rule over Jerusalem is not driven by colonist, nationalist or material motives. The love of every grain in the Holy City is sacred to Muslims. Muslims respect all the Prophets revered by Judaism and Christianity and their venerated places are also central to the ethos of Islam.
To quote a few Quranic verses and sayings of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) with regard to Jerusalem will indicate the importance Masjid al Aqsa and therefore Jerusalem has assumed upon the Muslims hearts.
1. The miraculous journey of the holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) from Makkah to Masjid al Aqsa (al Isra) and his ascension through the heavens (al Ma’araj) has linked Jerusalem to the Muslims hearts and minds. The Holy Quran states:
Glory to Allah
The Lord Almighty had it in His power to have taken Prophet Muhammad from Makkah straight up to the heavens. However, to impress the importance of Jerusalem upon Muslims the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was first taken to Masjid al Aqsa in Jerusalem.
When the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) reached al Aqsa (Haram Shareef), he led prayers in congregation that was attended by all the previous Prophets Alayhis salaam. Hence Masjid al Aqsa is unique in that this is the only place on earth where all the Prophets Alayhis salaam performed Salaah in congregation.
2. The Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) Alayhis salaam who is central to all the three faiths, migrated to the land of Canaanite around 1805 BC. The Quran states:
We said, O Fire! Be thou cool and safety for Ibrahim. Then they planned against him, but We made them the greater losers. But We delivered him and (his nephew) Lot (and directed them) to the land which We have blessed for the nations (Al-Anbiyaa 1: 69-71)
3. The sacredness of Jerusalem is emphasized in numerous places in the Holy Quran. The Apostles of Allah , Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and also Prophet Musa (Mosses) [Alayhis salaam] alluded to it. The Holy Quran reports Prophet Musa [Alayhis salaam] telling his people:
O my people! Enter the holy land… (Al-Maida 5: 21)
Further the Holy Quran states:
(It was Our power that made) the violent (unruly) Wind flow (tamely) for Suleiman. To his order, to the land Which We had blessed… (Al-Anbiyaa 21: 81)
4. Masjid al Aqsa and therefore Jerusalem’s importance was further emphasized by the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam):
(a) According to Islamic teachings there are only three places to which it is desirable to undertake a journey for the purpose of Salaah. Abu Huraira [ra] is quoted as saying that Allah ’s Messenger [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said,
’set out deliberately on a journey only to three mosques: this mosque of mine (in Medina), the Sacred Mosque (in Makkah) and the Masjid al Aqsa (in Jerusalem) (Bukhari & Muslim)
(b) The virtues of praying in Masjid al Aqsa are exalted:
Abu Darda [ra] is quoted as saying that the Prophet of Allah Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said,
a prayer in the Sacred Mosque (in Makkah) is worth 100, 000 prayers, a prayer in my mosque (in Medina) is worth 1, 000 and a prayer in Jerusalem is worth 500 prayers more than in an any other mosque. (Bukhari)
(c) The Masjid al Aqsa is the second house of prayer established on earth: Abu Dhar [ra] is quoted as saying,
I asked the beloved Prophet Muhammad
5. The Masjid-al-Aqsa was the First Qibla (the direction to which Muslims faced when praying Salaah): The centrality, historical and cultural significance of Masjid al Aqsa is further emphasised by the fact that Muslims used to turn towards Jerusalem when they prayed. This was practiced until 16 to 17 months after hijra, when Allah commanded in His wisdom for the Muslims to face Makkah. The importance of Masjid al Aqsa remained and all the worship performed facing Masjid al Aqsa was good and valid.
6. The resting place of Prophets [Alayhis salaam] and Prophet’s companions [ra]: The land of Palestine has in it some of the noblest souls the earth has seen. The graves of many Prophet’s are in Palestine, including Ibrahim Alayhis salaam, Yakub Alayhis salaam, Ishaq [peace be upon them] and according to some commentators there are over 100 Prophets buried in Palestine.
Palestine also has the bodies of some of the closest companions of the Prophet and thus the first generation of Muslims. Included in these are the graves of Ubada ibn al Samit, Shaddad ibn Aws ibn Thabit al Ansari and Tamim al Dari [ra].
7. Merits of Performing Haj or Umrah from Masjid al Aqsa:
Umm Salamah [ra] narrates that she heard the Prophet [Alayhis salaam] saying,
‘whosoever starts his Umrah or Haj from Masjid al Aqsa his wrong actions will be forgiven, both past and future.’ In another version, he is reported to have said that Paradise would be his reward. (Targheeb)
8. Freedom of the Holy City.
After the battle of Yarmuk the Muslim forces under the command of Abu Ubaydahr lay siege to Jerusalem. The inhabitants consented to surrender on condition that the Khalifa, Umar ibn al Khattab (ra) came in person. Umar [ra] traveled to Palestine and formally received the keys to the city in 637 AD. On his arrival, he concluded the famous peace treaty with the people of Holy City. This opened the doors to the Jews, who were denied access for thousands of years and for the first time Jerusalem under Muslim rule became truly an OPEN CITY to all the three faiths.
Throughout Muslim rule of over one thousand two hundred years of Jerusalem, members of Jewish, Christianity and Islam prospered in Jerusalem. Muslim rule enabled the city to live up to its rightful title of ‘The Holy City’ as it encompassed all the believers in One God to go about their business without any hindrance.
