Zulhijjah 27,1426/January 28, 2006 #7
WAR NEWS:
Unbelievably Funny but True:
For the last year and a half [total 18 months], the CIA has
been listing a terrorist with his photo as "Abu Khabab,"
supposedly number three after Osama and Ayman. After the
bombing of the Pakistani village, Damadola, to counter
Pakistani protests, the U.S. announced that it had killed
a terrorist in that attack, and that his name is Abu Khabab,
and his photo from the list of terrorists was flashed on
TV screens around the world.
On January 27, 2006, MSNBC disclosed that the photo which
was being flashed as that of Abu Khabab was not that of
Abu Khabab at all but that of the British Islamist Abu Hamzah
al-Masri who is now on trial in Britain. The photo was from
an interview with Abu Hamzah, and MSNBC showed in slow
motion the exact resemblance between the two photos, the
one from the interview and the one from the CIA list of terrorists.
No wonder the U.S. can't win. For 18 months, the CIA has
been flashing the wrong man's picture. What will our
conspiracy theorists do now? They are in the habit of
thinking that the U.S. controls everything in the world!
IRAQ:
Fighting continues, mujahideen are active and the number
of U.S. military fatalities has risen to 2236. Americans
do not go outside the green zone without armored escort.
Trouble between British agents in southern Iraq and
nearby Iran is brewing. On January 25, [British-backed?]
terrorists exploded two bombs in the Iranian city of Ahvaz,
killing 8 Iranians.
In about a minute which CNN gave to RAMSEY CLARK on
January 24, 2006, the famous fighter for justice made
the following points about the trial of President
Saddam Hussain: It is impossible to have justice in this case because:
1. The court is not independent.
2. There are no Sunnis in the court.
3. The prosecutors are the President's avowed enemies.
4. The court itself is "dysfunctional."
AFGHANISTAN:
January 24, 2006. TEN Taliban prisoners escaped from a
high security prison in Kabul. [FOX TV] Indications are
that the Taliban have infiltrated Kabul, the capital.
{Ms. Benazir Bhutto is wrong about the Taliban surviving
with Pakistani support. The Taliban control areas in
Oruzgan, Helmand, Ghazni and other provinces which are
nowhere near Pakistan.}
[See Bhutto's comments below.]
PAKISTAN:
Snow has blanketed the earthquake stricken areas of
northern Pakistan and Kashmir. Reports of deaths
of children are coming in.
Jamaat ad-Da'wa is leading the rescue, relief and
reconstruction efforts in the stricken areas.
Al-Khidmat, Jamaate Islami's relief wing, is a
distant second, followed by numerous smaller groups.
On January 26, Ms. Benazir Bhutto complained to a
Pakistani-American audience in the U.S. that Gen.
Musharraf has failed to stop the re-emergence of
the Taliban. She pointed out that the Taliban are
openly operating in Nothern Waziristan. She sees
the old ISI hand in the rise of the Taliban in
Afghanistan She is seen as General Musharraf's
competition with USA. She, every now and then,
urges America that she can bring "democracy"
where Musharraf has failed to do so.
New Book Recognizes New Trend's Importance in America's Islamic Process.
A few years back Yvonne Haddad published a book on
Islam in America which pretended that New Trend and
Jamaat al-Muslimeen do not exist. However, the latest
book on Islam in America is quite different.
ISLAM and the Search for African-American Nationhood
by Dennis Walker, December 2005, pp.596, $24.95, has
ELEVEN PAGES of information on New Trend as well as
several direct references to Dr. Kaukab Siddique
[referred to in arabicized style as "Kawkab"].
This is the first book to note, sometimes with
sarcastic commentary, Dr. Siddique's strategy to
bring together anti-imperialist groups in America.
Most of the book is about Elijah Muhammad, W.D. Muhammad
and Minister Farrakhan. It criticizes them but and notes
their positive contributions. The style is analytical
and will probably make many people unhappy. Some of
the contents are common knowledge but there are some
real gems of information which only a researcher could have found out.
It's amazing that a man sitting in Australia could do
such high quality research on the growth of Islam in America.

PALESTINE: GREEN BANNERS OF ISLAM SIGNAL ISRAEL's COMING END
New Trend Report
Hamas has won the elections in Palestine. Fatah is in
disarray. On January 27, Hamas held a huge victory
rally in East Jerusalem. The green banners of Islam,
in their thousands, waved in the breeze as masses of
people proclaimed that Allah Alone is Supreme.
The Fatah people also held a rally, to besiege and smoke
out their "leader" Mahmoud Abbas, but he was nowhere to be found.
Hamas predominance in Palestine was clear to our observers
for the last five years. The massive protests which
followed the martyrdom of Shaikh Yasin and Shaikh Rantisi
at the hands of Israeli terrorists left no doubt that
Islam is the guiding force of Palestine.
For the Bush administration, Hamas is a terrorist
organization, though Hamas has never attacked America.
Such is Jewish control in America, that those fighting
Israel are presented to the American public as enemies
of America. What will America do, now that the
Palestinian people have left no doubt that Hamas
and Islam are identical with Palestine. Poor
President Bush was almost apoplectic when
questioned about the Hamas victory.
If Hamas leaders are true to their word, the Israeli
murderers of Shaikh Yasin and the Jews who killed
hundreds of Palestinian children must be brought to justice.
The main interest of the Islamic world is that Israel
should be dismantled and the Jews sent back, peacefully
if possible, to their water holes in Russia, Hungary,
Australia and the good ol' U.S. of A. Palestine belongs
to the Palestinian people and certainly not to the Jews.
The writing is on the wall.
Strategically Speaking: Analysis by Badi Ali
Palestinian Expert Warns of Impending Weaknesses Within Hamas
While New Trend joins the worldwide celebration of the
Hamas victory, our Palestine expert, Imam Badi Ali,
from North Carolina, presents a sobering analysis of
the strategic situation. In an interview with New Trend,
Ali made the following points.
There can be no doubt that the Palestinian people want
a just society based on Islam which will stand up to
Israel. Unfortunately, Hamas leadership does include a
number of "Muslim Brotherhood" types who do not want
revolution or any drastic change. They are not very
different from the Brotherhood people in Egypt who
cooperate with Hosni Mubarak, or the Brotherhood people
in Jordan who allowed themselves to be used by king
Hussain and King Abdullah to form a puppet parliament.
They are similar to CAIR's Nihad Awad and ISNA's Jamal Badawi.
These "Brotherhood" types will at a certain point come
up with a permanent peace project with Israel in exchange
for American and Saudi recognition. In fact, Ali says,
the Americans allowed the elections to go through because
of an important strategic consideration: If elections
had not been held, the process of radicalization would
have led large numbers of Palestinians to join
organizations who are considered really 'bad'
[such as Islamic Jihad and even al-Qaidah] and
which would never consider peace with Israel.
Ali says that the more aware leaders of Hamas had
urged non-participation in the elections. We can
rejoice at the Islamic election victory but we
urge Palestinians to keep a sharp eye on their
leaders so that an Islamic "recognition of Israel"
is not manufactured or imposed, Ali concluded.
we should speak up for those of the BPP old guard,
such as this brother, who is still rotting in jail
after decades of incarceration.

US Political Prisoner/Former Black Panther, Kamau Sadiki, Gravely ill
Dear Friends,
As many of you know my father Kamau Sadiki -Former Black Panther, a.ka.
Fred Hilton #115 06 88 is seriously ill and incarcerated in Augusta State
Medical Prison. Apparently there has been a change where inmates are not
allowed to sleep at least 8 hours on weekends or holidays.
This has a negative impact on his and other prisoners health. He has
written to let me know that he is taking a stand against this injustice.
He has sent out an urgent call that all of us notify the administration
to voice our indignation and concern. I urge you to please pass this on to
our friends and comrades.
Below is the prison address:

Siraj Wahhaj: Treachery Under Islamic Guise
Mauri Saalakhan Trivializing The Great Injustice
Done by Siraj Wahhaj to Shaikh 'Omar 'Abdel Rahman :
Siraj Helped the Jews Twice. What's his Income Source?
[Mauri Saalakhan is a self-styled human rights
activist with unclear sources of income who travels
from mosque to mosque collecting money, selling his
books and urging people to donate money for his next
"masterpiece." He is beginning to draw New Trend's
attention by the games he is playing.]
Siraj Wahhaj, a central leader of the pro-government Muslim
organization ISNA, has a vocal supporter in a man named
Mauri Saalakhan. Instead of facing the obvious fact that
Siraj Wahhaj helped a zionist-Jewish judge to put
Shaikh Omar in prison FOR LIFE, Saalakhan tries to
insult the editor of New Trend in an attempt to create a diversion.
Instead of responding to New Trend, Saalakhan has
written a sneaky letter to his friends to defend
"Imam" Siraj Wahhaj. Unfortunately for him, some
of his readers, outraged by his lies, passed on the
letter to New Trend. Saalakhan begins by insulting
the editor of New Trend and then claims that Siraj Wahhaj's
testimony against Shaikh Omar was not a big deal because
Siraj did say words of praise for the Shaikh too!
Thus treachery, if wrapped in Islamic rhetoric,
is okay for Saalakhan.
Saalakhan's technique is that of a shyster. He ignores
the facts and tries to claim that Siraj's treachery
did not matter much. Let us remind him that the most
damning testimony against Siraj Wahhaj comes not from
New Trend but from Shaikh Nabeel al-Masri, Dr. Omar
'Abdel Rahman's only legal representative, who was
IN THE COURT and heard and saw Siraj Wahhaj laughing
and telling the court that Shaikh Omar taught the
legitimacy of BANK ROBBERIES. Siraj laughed but he
gave the Zionist judge the club with which to beat
the great Islamic scholar.
Saalakhan conveniently forgets that Siraj has kept up
his LIES and CHARACTER ASSASSINATION against Shaikh Omar
long after the trial ended. We have placed on New Trend's
web site, Siraj Wahhaj's statement to the ZIONIST
Wall Street Journal in which he repeated
his calumny against the Shaikh.
Thus Saalakhan is completely off base in claiming that
New Trend's editor has gone crazy and is unnecessarily
attacking "Imam" Siraj Wahhaj. After serving the Zionists,
Siraj thought his crime against the blind Shaikh would
be forgotten and swept under the rug. New Trend has messed
up his successful treachery.
Saalakhan ignored Imam Warith Deen Umar's letter
in which the Imam wanted to know why Siraj Wahhaj would
want to help the Kuffar even if the blind
Shaikh did actually say anything so absurd? Siraj
actively helped the Zionists TWICE, first the Zionist
Judge and then the Zionist newspaper.
The Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, has taught that a true
believer is never bitten from the same snake pit TWICE.
If Siraj were a true believer, he would not go to
the Jewish snake pit a second time. Siraj Wahhaj
was not making a mistake. This is part of his game:
to help the oppressors and to fool the
Muslims with his pious speeches.
It's common sense, that if Siraj Wahhaj is loyal to
Islam, and found that his statement had helped to
put away the Shaikh for LIFE, he would have apologized
to the Muslim Ummah and would have given up
strutting around on ISNA Conventions trying to
help the rich grow richer.
ISNA, Siraj Wahhaj's organization of choice, is fully
involved with America's intelligence agencies. Siraj
must be held responsible for all the central decisions
made by ISNA's shoora in which he is a prominent figure.
In fact his photo is constantly used by ISNA to create
the impression that it is an Islamic organization.
ISNA supported the BLOC VOTE for Bush, kept silent
over the bombing of Afghanistan and Iraq, and leaped
into action to produce the "One Eyed Fatwa" against
one kind of terrorism while ignoring the terrorism of its masters.
Siraj Wahhaj laughed in court and insulted the Shaikh:
Result: the blind Shaikh is in prison for life. He is
buried alive while Siraj Wahhaj goes around living off
the fat of the land, helping the million dollar mosques
to collect millions more to control Islam in America.
What is Siraj Wahhaj's source of income?
[What is Saalakhan's source of income?
Don't the Muslims have a right to know how
much he collects friom mosques?]
In spite of the abuse Saalakhan has levelled against
the editor of New Trend, our columns are still open
for his response. Saalakhan and Siraj are both good
speakers but do they have the right to enter the ranks
of the Muslims and collect funds without giving any
accounts? Do write to us and let us know how much you
two have made off the innocent believers.
Strangely enough Saalakhan was also a devotee of
Abdur Rahman al-Amoudi who later confessed
to being an agent of the State Department.
What's the connection of Siraj, Saalakhan and Al-Amoudi?
New Trend's early audiences might remember that Al-Amoudi
actively worked with a Jewish organization to stop
the Jewish Judge in the blind Shaikh's case from recusing himself.
Saalakhan should come clean and apologize to the Muslims of America.
NOTE: Interested readers can receive the following from New Trend:
-
Shaikh Nabeel al-Masri's letter which states that he
WINESSED, in court, Siraj's betrayal of Dr. Omar 'Abdel
Rahman and has no doubt that Siraj betrayed the blind Shaikh.
-
Siraj Wahhaj's statement to the Wall Street Journal
in which he repeated his abuse against the great scholar.
-
Imam Warith Deen Umar's letter admonishing Siraj about
why he had to help the kuffar even if the
Shaikh had actually made a mistaken statement.
Dr. Kifah Jayyousi
U.S. Citizen Being Persecuted for 10 Years old writing
in Support of Bosnia, Chechnia
[New Trend Exclusive]
Ten years ago, before September 11 brought attention
to the Muslim community; there was little discussion
of events in the Muslim world. It was hard for
Muslims to learn about what was going on in our world
unless we subscribed to a dozen or more newsletters.
Ten years ago, Dr. Kifah Jayyousi felt that frustration
and decided to do something about it. He founded
ISLAM REPORT to help Muslims learn about all the events
happening in our homelands, and the struggles of our
people against undemocratic and oppressing forces.
Ten years ago, Dr. Kifah Jayyousi rejected violence
as a method for changing the world. He recognized that
violence against innocent women and children is
forbidden under Islamic Law and custom. He said
that those who engaged in such practices violated
fundamental Islamic principles.
Ten years ago, Kifah Jayyousi called Muslims to help
our brothers and sisters who were the victims of
oppression and violence overseas. He called upon
us to send medicine and clothes to refugees in the
Muslim world. He found people and organizations
willing to carry those lifelines to our people.
Ten years ago, Kifah Jayyousi, A loyal American citizen ,
a father of 3 daughters, and 2 sons, who holds a PhD in
civil engineering, and a former teacher at Wayne State
University, exercised his right as an American citizen,
to openly question and criticize the American
governments foreign policies, and ask whether
it was treating Muslims accused of crimes fairly.
As the American Constitution teaches, he presumed
accused men innocent until proven guilty, and treated
them with respect and dignity.
Now the United States government, seeking to justify
its policies at home and abroad, they have arrested
Kifah Jayyousi accused him of supporting terrorism.
It says that his words calling for Muslims to speak
out against the slaughter in Bosnia and to assist
those who suffered, encouraged terrorism. It says
his words seeking to provide assistance for the
refugees in Chechnya, were a call to support terrorism.
It says his publication which gave voice to those who
oppose undemocratic governments in the Middle East and
North Africa were a call to join the armed struggle
and therefore supported terrorism. Judge that reviewed
the case said that Dr. Kifah Jayyousi was practicing
his right as an American citizen to exercise freedom of speech.
The United States government has confused the message
with the messenger. It is trying to stop loyal
Americans from speaking out by accusing a loyal
American of being a criminal for speaking out.
While proclaiming the need for democracy throughout
the world, it is engaged in the most undemocratic
form of repression, seeking to silence speech.
Make no mistake. The government does not accuse
Kifah Jayyousi of being a terrorist. The government
does not accuse Kifah Jayyousi of being violent.
It does not say that he tried to cause harm to anyone.
It only says that he spoke out. And it does not like
what Kifah Jayyousi said. Kifah Jayyousi is being
charged with a crime because he is a Muslim, and he spoke out.
We need your help. Kifah Jayyousi must be defended.
If Kifah Jayyousi is not defended, we will all be at
risk. His family has borrowed and sold all that they
own to provide for his defense. People of good will
have already helped where they could, by providing
assistance to the family. Unfortunately there is
still much more to be done.
The government has already spent more than a million
dollars, and will be able to spend much more.
We need every dollar we can raise. We need to hire
experts, produce exhibits and tell the true story.
We need to review over 50,000 telephone
conversations from 10 years ago.
This is a time of year when we give most to those in need.
Kifah Jayyousi is your brother, and he is in need.
Kifah Jayyousi is every Muslim in America.
If he can be prosecuted for what he said and wrote
10 years ago, no Muslim in America is safe from prosecution.
