Verse of the Week "O ye who believe! Take not my enemies and yours as friends (or protectors), offering them (your) love, even though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have (on the contrary) driven out the Prophet and yourselves (from your homes), (simply) because ye believe in Allah your Lord! If ye have come out to strive in My Way and to seek My Good Pleasure, (take them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from the Straight Path."
-Holy Qur'an 60:1

From Imam Badi Ali [National Shoora Leader] Jamaat al-Muslimeen North Carolina. Points from his Juma' khutba of October 8 attended by a large crowd in Greensboro.

Spotlight #1: What is haram [forbidden] is clear and what is halal [permitted] is clear.
Spotlight #2: Necessity is not an excuse for indulging in haram. There are always alternatives to haram.
Spotlight # 3. Whatever leads to haram is also haram. The punishment for adultery is stoning. So get married, instead of carrying on an affair which leads to adultery.
Spotlight #4: Do not try to cover up haram with clever commentary to make it look halal.

Outreach: Khutba October 8, 2010 Earn More Blessings: Defend the Qur'an. Defend Hadith, Defend Ayesha, r.a.
Islam is Under Attack. Peaceful Uprising of US Muslims is Required.

On October 8, Dr. Kaukab Siddique gave the Juma' khutba and led prayers at a mosque in central Baltimore, Maryland. The main points of the 40 minute khutba are given here for distribution across America and for other khateebs to use.

Text # 1. Only those are Believers who have Believed in Allah and His Messenger, and have never since doubted but have done jihad [striven] with their belongings and their persons in the Cause of Allah: Such are the sincere-truthful ones. [The Qur'an 49:15]

Text #2: Each one of you is a ruler and each one of you is answerable for those you rule. [Hadith, Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, Sahih Bukhari.]

The External Enemies

The kuffar are blatantly attacking Islam, challenging the Ummah's honor.
Who would have thought that the Prophet, pbuh, would be openly abused on the Internet,
Who would have thought that a preacher would threaten to burn the Qur'an and thousands would support him.
Who would have thought that the beloved wife of the Prophet, Ayesha Siddiqa, r.a., would be subjected to obscenities.
Why has all this happened? We all know that Muslim "leaders" have been used to put the Muslims of America to sleep. They have betrayed Islam and enriched themselves.
The kuffar first used Salman Rushdie and Ayan Hirsi and other such scum to see if the Muslims were awake or asleep. The Muslims of America did not wake up though the Muslims of the world responded and put the smut merchants to flight.
Then our enemies made cartoons of the Prophet, pbuh. It's never been done before. The Muslim world showed that it loved the Prophet, pbuh, but the "leaders" of US Muslims again sang lullabies to put this ummah to sleep.
These attacks were like those of a thief who throws a stone on the window pane to see if the residents are awake or asleep. They found that the US Muslims were not only asleep but snoring.

The Internal Threat is More Serious.

The US power structure wants to set up a " mosque" near ground zero. Rabbis are supporting it. Israel has destroyed more than 130 mosques. Why are the Jews supporting a mosque in New York?
The "mosque" is supposed to cost $100 million. No US Muslim has that kind of money. Who is behind this move?
US Muslims then react to the right wing -Republican campaign against the "mosque" and start defending it, thus falling right into the power structure's trap.
USA and Zionist media are supporting Pakistani flood victims and trying to pour dollars into Pakistan. Why? Do they love Pakistanis? No! Do they love ANY Pakistani who follows Islam? No!
Only the Islamic groups should be helped in flood relief. Jamaate Islami is doing great work. In Karachi alone it is feeding 40,000 displaced persons. If you help any charity connected with the Pakistani power structure, you will in effect be helping the puppet regime and supporting its corrupt habits.
Do US government people love Muslims who are helpless? There are a million refugees in Somalia. Is America helping them? No! Instead the US is trying to undermine the Islamic forces there which are holding the country together.

How do Sects Emerge?

Sects are being encouraged to divide and undermine Muslim countries. Sects emerge when a group starts focusing on only ONE Companion [sahabi] of the Prophet, pbuh.
The sectarians will give you hadith which indicate high praise for that ONE sahabi and you will start thinking that the sectarian view is right.
What you may not know is that there are many hadith praising other Companions of the Prophet, pbuh. They were all great people.
Sometimes, attempts are made to denigrate those Companions of the Prophet who came late into Islam, such as Ameer Muawiyya. The fact is that the Prophet, pbuh, loved him and trusted him so much as to use his abilities to write WAHY, the revealed word of Allah.

What we can do:

Study the Qur'an and Hadith and answer our children from Qur'an and Hadith.
Defend Ayesha, r.a., the outstanding Muslim woman leader, who was a scholar, teacher, orator, beloved of Allah, beloved of Muhammad, pbuh.
Boycott businesses which support Israel. Unite against Zionism.
No cooperation with oppressors. It is a mortal sin and can make one a kafir.
Be kind to your spouse, be firm but loving with your children, care for your neighbors.
Do not break laws. Our resistance is non-violent and within the legal limits.
Speak out, write, agitate, mobilize against oppression. Let non-Muslim oppressed people, be they Mexicans, African Americans, Germans or women know that we are their friends.

Palestine
Israeli Jews Attack Olive Trees in Attempt to Destroy Palestinian Economy
[It's a sign that the agony of Palestine is impacting Americans. This appeared in a regular American news service published by Yahoo. Amazing!] Excerpt.

By nasser ishtayeh , Associated Press Writer
Oct 9, IRAQ BURIN, West Bank - Extremist Jews ripped off branches and cut the roots of Palestinian olive trees in the West Bank village of Burin , residents said Saturday, as the yearly harvest of the important crop begins. The attack came at the beginning of the 45-day Palestinian olive harvest. It's traditionally a time of heightened violence, as a minority of extremist Jews tries to provoke Palestinians. Some two dozen men from a nearby Jewish settlement damaged the trees in Burin after they tried to attack Palestinians bulldozing an access road to their fields, said Bilal Eid, who witnessed the incident."The settlers began cutting the trees, trying to kill the roots. They are trying to scare us," Eid said. The damage could kill the trees, which were meant to be harvested this week, he said.

Video Shows Slaughter of Islamic prisoners, including invalids, by Army

A video is now circulating on various lists showing the massacre of Bok Haram Islamic community by the army. The soldiers are shown shooting Muslim prisoners in the back, obviously civilians picked up at random. In some cases the civilians who wanted Islamic law [Shari'a] are ordered to lie down and then shot. Invalids stumbling forward on walking sticks are also shot.

About 800 Muslims were slaughtered by the army after Boko Haram leader Yusuf demanded that all ties with Europe be cut off. He was caught, mistreated and shot. [The army is armed and funded by the US. Hillary Clinton rushed to the country after the massacre to affirm US support for the army.]

Kashmiris Demand: India Must Leave Kashmir
An Inside Look at the Peaceful Mass Movement Facing India. 10,000 held in secret.
From markthetruth[dot]com
Srinagar, October 10, 2010: APHC Chairman, Syed Ali Shah Geelani has said that India have unleashed a reign of terror to suppress the ongoing "Quite Kashmir Movement" in Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir (OSJK).
Syed Ali Shah Geelani in a statement issued in Srinagar demanded an immediate withdrawal of the Indian forces from the occupied territory. "The occupation authorities have turned the Kashmir valley into a military garrison," he added.

Syed Ali Shah Geelani had condemned the attack on a school bus by Indian forces and imposition of 27-day long curfew in Palhalan area of Pattan. He said that the residents of the area were living under a Gaza like situation with shortage of essential commodities and medicines. Appealing the residents of Pazal Pora in Sopore to protest against the setting up of an Indian army camp near a school and Eidgah in the area, Syed Ali Shah Geelani said, "The occupation forces are a constant threat to our lives, property, dignity and honor which can only remain safe after their complete withdrawal from the territory." Flaying the puppet administration for forcing the shopkeepers to open shops during strikes, he deplored that the troops and police had launched a hunt for pro-freedom leaders and Kashmiri youth across OSJK.

Syed Ali Shah Geelani expressed concern over the cancellation of route permits by the puppet administration to the bus drivers who were not plying their vehicles on the days of strike. He pointed out that the troopers were committing gross rights abuses in the valley with impunity due to the invocation of black laws like Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).

In regard to World Mental Health Day on October 10, a report issued by research section of Kashmir Media Service. The report says that the number of mental patients in the wake of Indian state terrorism has crossed the one hundred thousand figure.

The report maintains that bombings, beatings, torture, unjustified arrest and detention, extra-judicial killings, and, Indian troops' sense of impunity from prosecution, are among the violations recounted and such abuses have affected the local psyche adversely.

The report says that enforced disappearance is one of the most harrowing consequences of the armed conflict in OSJK and during the last 21 years more than 10,000 people have been subjected to enforced disappearance by the troops. Of the disappeared persons, between 2000-2005 a majority were married males. Although men have been subjected to disappearance largely, but women have been badly affected because of being related to them as daughters, mothers, sisters and wives.

The APHC leader and the Chairperson of Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Khawateen Markaz, Yasmeen Raja, has said that the people of Kashmir are struggling for securing their inalienable right of Self-Determination. Yasmeen Raja in a statement issued in Srinagar deplored that India was trying to muzzle the Kashmiris' just voice through use of brute force. She condemned the imposition of curfew, restrictions and prevention of people from offering Juma congregations by the authorities. She termed the restrictions as frustration on part of the authorities. She sympathised with the families of innocent Kashmiri youth, killed by Indian troops across the occupied territory. Vowing to continue the liberation struggle till its logical end, Yasmeen Raja said that the Kashmir dispute should be resolved through tripartite talks including Pakistan, India and the real Kashmiri leadership.

On the other hand, Dukhtaran-e-Millat Jammu and Kashmir in a statement issued in Srinagar said that Indian troops barged into the houses and illegally detained the people. The statement demanded of India to stop human rights violations in the territory. It welcomed the recent statement of United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon on Kashmir and appealed him to play his role in settling the Kashmir dispute.

Normal life remained paralysed across OSJK for the second consecutive day, today, due to the shutdown called by Syed Ali Shah Geelani as part of "Quit Kashmir Movement" while curfew was in force at Palhalan in Pattan.

Indian forces resorted to brute force and fired teargas shells to disperse pro-freedom demonstrators in Parimpora, Gulwanpora, Bagh-e-Mehtab, Batamaloo, Mochou, Natipora, Fateh Kadal, Habak, Baramulla, Sopore, Kupwara, Shopian and Pulwama areas, injuring at least twelve people.

The authorities had made heavy deployments of paramilitary and police personnel in all major towns. In Srinagar, thousands of CRPF troops, armed with sophisticated weapons and riot gear, were seen patrolling the deserted streets, lanes and by-lanes to foil any attempt of the people to stage pro-freedom demonstrations. Men in uniform conducted crackdown in Palhalan, Pattan, Delina and Baramulla and arrested over a dozen persons. Indian forces took into custody eight youth including two young boys in Srinagar and Shopian areas.

The Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has expressed concern over the deteriorating health of senior APHC leader and the party President, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, in Kot Bhalwal jail. A statement issued by the DFP after a meeting in Srinagar said, Kashmir is a political issue and unless it is resolved keeping in view its history, the peace and stability in South Asia will not prevail.

It welcomed the recent assertion of the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, in which he had shown concern over the worsening situation in the occupied territory. The party members described prevention of people by the occupation authorities to offer prayers as interference in the religious affairs.

Addressing the meeting, the DFP Acting Chairman, Muhammad Abdullah Tari, denounced continued illegal detention and house arrest of pro-freedom leaders and activists
