sensational news is affecting our children. It is a digital
culture. Protect our children. If we are affected by the
digital culture, how much more will our children be?
Breaking news #1:
Syria: August 7: Assad's heavy artillery is destroying the
city of Aleppo BLOCK by BLOCK. Amnesty International has
published aerial photos which show 600 artillery shell
craters in the heavily populated areas of Aleppo. Also
Assad's air force is launching hundreds of bombing and
strafing raids on the city. However, the Islamic resistance
is holding out and major districts of this vast city are
under Islamic control.
Assad has amassed 20,000 troops to launch a final assault on
the poorly armed defenders.
Meanwhile Iran has decided to go down with Assad to the end.
Iran's top level rep is in Syria to support Assad. Only
Turkey is helping the Muslims and that with light weapons.
However Assad is crumbling. His prime minister and several
cabinet ministers have defected.
Breaking news #2:
Afghanistan: Guerrilla warfare continues in Afghanistan. In
July 46 NATO troops were killed by the Taliban. In the first
7 days of August 11 more of NATO's finest have been killed,
including 2 killed and 6 wounded from New Zealand. Taliban
losses: zero. [Western sources.]
Only half a dozen more supply trucks for NATO entered from
Pakistan and were attacked by the Taliban.
Breaking News #3:
Egypt: Fighting has broken out in the Sinai between Islamic
groups and the Egyptian military. The Islamics attacked a
Israel-supporting Egyptian border post to create an opening
against Israel.
Latest news is that Egyptian helicopter gun ships are
attacking the Islamics and like Mubarak did, all entrances
into Gaza have been sealed. The military is defending
Israel.

Ramadan can help us to change if ... Two Requirements +
Ummah Concept
On August 3, Br. Kaukab Siddique gave the Juma' khutba at
Baltimore's Masjid Jamaat al-Muslimeen. Here are the central
points:
-
Pray to Allah Almighty and admit that we are lacking in
many qualities. We need Allah's help to improve ourselves.
If we keep thinking that we are good because we pray and
fast, we will come out of Ramadan arrogant and
self-satisfied rather than humbled and improved. Pray for
character, compassion, courage, honesty, truthfulness.
-
Pray to Allah Almighty to give us knowledge of Qur'an and
Hadith. Admit that we don't know Islam to any considerable
extent. If we think we already know Islam, then Ramadan will
not improve us. Study the Qur'an. Ask yourself: How much do
I know about the Qur'an? Study the Hadith. Can you quote the
Prophet's, pbuh, revolutionary teachings about women?
Du'a: Pray to Allah for the victory of Islam in the daily
battle in Syria, and for the victory of Islam in Kashmir,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Yemen, Sudan, Libya,
Nigeria, Somalia and Mali. Most of all, pray that Allah help
the believers to drive the Yahood out of Palestine.
This one achievement can give you a new Direction in life:
What did Muhammad, pbuh, say?
Do you know that most people don't know how to identify the
Hadith of Muhammad, pbuh? Muslims spent decades trying to
defend a narrative about the age of Aisha, r.a,. when the
narrative, though in the Sahih of Bukhari, is not from
Muhammad, pbuh.
Muslims think that anything in a book of Hadith is a hadith
and then they try to use it as an Islamic text.
Look at the Muwatta of Imam Malik. Owing to its translation
into English, it has become popular among serious students
of Islam. There are 1720 narratives in it. Owing to lack of
Islamic knowledge, Muslims don't know that only 600 of these
are Hadith with complete chains of narration to the Prophet
Muhammad, pbuh.
Of the rest 235 are mursal; the name of the sahabi who
narrated it is not known. They cannot be considered decisive
in religious rulings. Then 613 are maquf. That is, they do
not go to the Prophet, pbuh, but instesd originate from or
are attributed to a sahabi. Then another 285 are the words
and rulings of Tabain, the generation after the sahaba, and
5 are the sermons of Imam Malik himself.
This criticism of the Muwatta was the result of analytical
studies of Hadith by Imam Shafi'ii [as noted by Shah
Waliullah Dehlvi], one of the greatest teachers of Islam.
Imam Malik was actually Shafi'i's teacher but the Muwatta of
Malik was interpolated by the inclusions brought by Malik's
students.
Imam Malik did not travel outside Madinah while Imam Shafi'i
travelled over the Muslim world and found that there were
many hadith outside the Madinah school of thought. He wrote
with compelling logic that there is no need for anyone's
opinions, however learned, where an authentic Hadith of the
Prophet was extant.

Imam Malik and Imam Shafi'i.]

being stifled by ISNA, ICNA.

Attack on Sikh Temple: Mindless Violence or Planned Act to
Divide Muslims and Sikhs?
Why no coverage of attack on Joplin, Missouri, Mosque?
The August 5 attack on the Sikh temple [Gurdwara]in Oak
Creek, Wisconsin, has been condemned by everyone. The
shooter has been identified as a "white supremacist." but
this is speculation. He has left no note. Strange!
The question remains: "why?"
Early in the reporting on the attack, observers noted that
the assailant had a 9.11 tattoo. [On August 7 the
government denied the 9.11 tattoo. Strange...] Evidently he
thought he was attacking a mosque and that the Sikhs were
Muslims. Both have beards and many Muslims too wear head
coverings though not turbans.
The government took a long time to identify the assailant.
It looked like the authorities wanted to prepare to say
something. The attack is being described as an isolated act.
However, there are indications that the Sikh Temple had been
receiving threats for a while. Investigation should be
carried out to find out if there is more to this attack than
meets the eye. The assailant was a psy ops trained
ex-soldier. How could he not know that these are Sikhs and
not Muslims. Is it possible that someone had persuaded him
that Muslims and Sikhs are the same?
Remember the logic of the Norwegian killer Brievak who
claimed that it was okay to kill Labor party associates
because they supported Palestinians. So, if you are killing
one, you are killing the other! Zionists actually believe
this kind of thing. Their supporters, Spencer-type- neo
cons and his buddies, have gone to the extent of claiming
that Muslim Brotherhood has penetrated the bedrooms of the
American power structure!
India is very perturbed about the friendly relations between
Sikhs and Muslims, especially after India carried out a
military operation years back in the most sacred temple of
the Sikhs in Amritsar, Punjab province of India. Ordinary
Sikhs living in the US are very friendly towards Muslims.
Now with this attack, there is an opportunity for the
sophisticated Zionist psychological warfare people to turn
Sikhs against. Muslims.
MOSQUE BURNING: It's the holy month of Ramadan and a mosque
has been burned down in Joplin, Missouri. It was not the
first attack but a repeat which gutted the structure.
Although it was soon after the Sikh Temple attack, there was
hardly any coverage in the media. Is the government trying
to say that we are shocked about the attack on the Temple,
with condolences all the way from Obama to the daily
newspapers, but we are not interested in the burning of the
mosque. What's going on here? Muslims need to wake up and
not leave their mosques unguarded and empty in between
prayer times.
[CNN's homosexual anchor Anderson Cooper is trying to steer
the discussion towards "white supremacist" groups. He can't
be very bright if he can't see that it was a religious
attack, not a racist attack. Sikhs are not Black. Southern
Poverty Law Center, anti-Islamic to the extreme, is helping
CNN in this evasive p[rocess.]

Did the Prophet, pbuh, and the Sahaba, r.a., pray taraweehs?
Think of how different is our "Islam" from that of Muhammad,
peace be on him.
by Kaukab Siddique
"Many a person gets nothing out of fasting except hunger and
thirst." [Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, Hadith in the Sunan of ibn
Majah, chapter on Siyam.]
Is there any hadith from Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, which says
we should pray taraweehs, 22 rakahs or 8 or 12 or any other
number? Is The word taraweeh used in the Qur'an and the
hadith? I can see tahajjud. I can see qiyam al-layl, but
these are not specifically related to Ramadan.
If the Prophet, pbuh, had been praying taraweeh, how could
he have fought the battle of Badr? How could he have
conquered Makka? Both of these history making events took
place in the life of the Prophet, pbuh, during Ramadan. I
have checked all the hadith sources about these two events
and there is absolutely no reference to taraweeh.
When Ayesha, r.a., died, it was Ramadan and all the women of
Madinah came out at night for her burial. Again there is no
reference to taraweeh.
Narrations from others than the Prophet, pbuh, do not
constitute the essential texts of Islam. Only the Qur'an and
the authentic hadith are absolutely essential to Islam.
There are narrations which claim that Umar, r.a., and Ali,
r.a., not only prayed taraweehs but organized them. The
problem is that Umar, r.a., was involved in the biggest
jihad movement in Islamic history which involved just about
all the sahaba and brought about the downfall of the two
superpowers of that time. The details of this tremendous
struggle are available in all the earliest Islamic history
books. NONE OF THEM mention taraweehs.
Great numbers [perhaps all] the sahaba were involved in this
struggle, directly or indirectly. NONE OF THEM nor any of
the new converts to Islam are quoted as saying that "we are
missing taraweeh prayers owing to these battles."
The authentic hadith do mention the Prophet, pbuh, praying
extra prayers after Isha' during Ramadan THREE times. When
he noticed that people were gathering to make it into a
congregational prayer with him, he stopped.
Now look at our ummah's condition: When Bush bombed
Afghanistan in 2001 during Ramadan, even General Musharraf
the traitor was worried that Pakistani Muslims would be
riled up. However, nothing happened because Pakistanis were
busy praying 20 rakats of taraweeh prayers [Hanafi fiqh].
Bush kept on bombing, secure in the religious immunization
of Pakistan.
The same happened with the bombing of Fallujah in Iraq
during Ramadan which reached its peak during laylatul qadr,
the holiest night in Ramadan. The Iraqi imams used the
loudspeakers of the mosques in Fallujah to call the people
to jihad, not to taraweeh. The Iraqis fought to the bitter
end in Fallujah. The rest of the Muslim world did not
respond. They were busy praying taraweehs.
Look at Somalia today. Almost four million Somalis are
homeless. Nearly 400,000 children are facing death through
malnutrition and disease. Should we be praying taraweehs or
should we be mobilizing humanitarian support for the
Somalis?
The way Muslims eat during iftar after each fast is a shame
and a disgrace. Huge quantities of food and drink are
guzzled. What kind of Islam is this? Even those who do not
carry out obligatory [fard] prayers are busy praying
taraweeh. The Prophet, pbuh, and the sahaba, kept awake
during the day in Ramadan. We sleep during the day and pray
taraweeh at night!
"...Among the proprieties of fasting is that the person
should not sleep much during the day but rather stay up so
that he might feel the pangs of hunger and flames of thirst
and become conscious of the weakness of the flesh, with the
result that one's heart would be cleansed and purified."
[Imam Ghazzali's kitab Israr al-Saum, translated by Faris.
Hypocrisy irks the most in Ramadan
Hamza Yusuf in Abu Dhabi, praising dead king in Khutba
-
ISNA violated the clear hadith of Muhammad, pbuh, by
announcing Ramadan and Eid dates months before moon
sighting. Now ISNA is sending out appeals for funds in the
name of piety in Ramadan. ISNA president "imam" Magid
certainly is a shameless person, bay haya in Urdu.
-
CAIR, the very embodiment of hypocrisy, handed over 5
young US Muslims to the FBI/Pakistani police. They were
tortured and put away in a Pakistani prison. CAIR has
supported every American tyrant be it Clinton, Bush or
Obama. CAIR has never questioned the legitimacy of Israel.
Now that the Syrian dictator is crumbling and the Muslims
are seething with anger, CAIR decided, after 17 months of
Syrian suffering, to become a champion of the Syrian people.
It's no less self serving than Obama himself except that
CAIR does this in the name of Islam.
-
Instead of praising Allah, he praises the king. Hamza
Yusuf, the notorious supporter of "made in America" Islam
and the star of ISNA gave the Khutba on August 3 in Abu
Dhabi. An eyewitness says that Hamza Yusuf spent a good part
of the khutba in praising Shaykh Zayed, the dead king of Abu
Dhabi. The Prophet, pbuh, has taught that when a FASIQ is
praised, the heavens tremble with fear of Allah. Yusuf
ignores the Prophet's hadith.
After praising the king beyond all limits, he told a long
story of Shaykh Zayed who while living in Europe used to
feed pigeons in the town square. Hamza Yusuf narrates that
when he was going to leave, Zayed lamented: What will the
pigeons do now that I'll be gone. {Hamza Yusuf does not
realize that he committed SHIRK. Allah is the provider,
RAZIQ, of all, including pigeons. Zayed was not the
provider, nor is any other human,]
[On his blog Hamza Yusuf claims his visit to the emirates is
kind of private. That seems to be a lie. The official media
of Abu Dhabi broadscast him LIVE. The royals obviously love
him']
The last hurrah of a crumbled empire
Olympic Opening Ceremony, Slum Dog England
Charles E. Carlson
The London opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics was much
criticized as a low-budget presentation. Some thought it
dull and depressing with only lively music to pep it up. I
disagree.
To me it was powerfully artistic and painfully real. The
designer, filmmaker Danny Boyle, spoofed his native land,
presenting it as it is, financially and socially crumbling,
an all too real UK, a tawdry, tacky skeleton of a once world
power hiding behind an aging monarch. Danny Boyle showed us
England in economic and moral decline, without a mooring
even in its music and art. The 3Oth Olympics are a giant
party at the very very moment Europe is in financial
collapse.
Danny Boyle is famous for Slum Dog Millionaire, the film
story of an Indian boy who rose up from the garbage pits of
Mumbai. Boyle's Olympic Opening Ceremony is the Slum Dog
story in reverse.
I loved the 2008 Olympic ceremony, even though I am no fan
of China. It was a proud China for Chinese, expensive and
uplifting, and very ethnic, boasting a modern China coming
out of the slums and hiding its ugly parts. What we saw in
London was the reverse, confessing its decline.
Producer Boyle even spoofed the aging queen in a parachute
skit with James Bond, a new low in royal dignity. Boyle is a
filmmaker with an agenda to entertain but who, between the
lines, knew the truth about once great Britain, and did a
clever job of telling part (but not all) of it. He put one
over on not-so-Great Britain.
Why should the Queen enjoy dignity? Did she not knight aging
Beatle, Paul McCartney, not to mention pink-haired Elton
John? It is unfortunate the Queen overlooked knighting
Benny Hill and Monty Python--the first great spoofers of
anything British--they might have been on the show, too. Sir
Beatle, John McCartney, exposed not a wrinkle in his
often-jacked up face, and in a quaky voice, lead the crowd
in a half dozen rousing choruses of "Hey Jude," as though it
was the British national anthem.
Who remembers that "Hey Jude" is a drug culture song of
sixties, "Remember to let her under your skin, Then you'll
begin to make it better better better better better, oh."
Now tell me, what did the rock culture of the sixties tell
you to "put under your skin" to make you feel better better
BETTER? I wonder if the Queen sang along?
Yes, I loved it. The Opening program was great...great in
that it was real and showed what England was and what it is
today. I quote the Associated Press story by ERIN McCLAM and
JOHN LEICESTER, who are among those who seemed to get it:
"'There has to be a modesty,' designer, filmmaker Danny
Boyle said. 'You can't get grandiose with this job because
you are following Beijing.' Boyle, producer of Slumdog
Millionaire an Academy Award winner, had no orders to cut
out scenes depicting all that's gritty and grim in the
nation... a nation in decline after the industrial
revolution trying to reposition itself as technological
innovators. 'We are learning our place in the world,' Boyle
said. 'A hundred years ago, we were everything. Obviously
the industrial revolution has partly bred that. But there is
a change, so I hope there is an innate modesty (in the
ceremony) about it as well.'
Boyle designed a Olympic theme around a crumbling and sick
economy with music to match! He showed us the scene of the
migration of the landless peasants, swarming from the hills
owned by the landed Gentry, to the stinking smokestacks of
the new Industrial revolution. Next we saw the enlightened
age of socialist services for everyone, depicted by an
extravagant medical system; finally we all joined in in the
realm of entertainment. With the coming of Beatles sounds
and lyrics, Boyle treated us a good times, rock England
culture, without a hint of classics. Irreverent comedian,
Mr.Bean spoofed "Chariots of the Gods" and a noble Olympic
event long past. Boyle even conned the straight-faced and
formal Queen into going along with the transition from
greatness to entertainment in her time, pretended to jump
out of a helicopter in an orange formal Shannon dress!
Boyle's message to me: England is shot so hang on and have
some fun!
The Olympics opening ceremony was the Slum Dog story in
reverse. England is descending into the garbage heap of
insolvency; everyone knows it, and Boyle showed it! Hats
off to Danny Boyle, for telling a story that needed to be
told and making England like it. But what did Boyle leave
out of the Commonwealth's history that allowed him to get
away with it?
One big untouchable issue Boyle avoided was, occupation. He
left out two hundred years of Briton's constant militarism
and brutal colonization that kept England's furnaces running
and her smoke stacks puffing. Not a word about occupation in
the Americas, India, Africa and South Africa, Sudan and
Palestine. Nothing about constant wars of that rounded up
the peasants' sons from the Gentry-owned farms, and the
laborers from the banker-owned mills and put them in "the
ranks." He left out the part of Great Britain's history that
is now being repeated in American history -- wars and
occupation that kept its economy going. Smart fellow, Boyle,
he know were to quit!
Brian Williams of NBC narrated the opening ceremony, and
this lavishly paid seeming numbskull missed Danny Boyle's
theme. But Williams did not overlook his bosses' politics of
war in our day. He pointed out, thumbs and thumbs down, the
good guys and bad guys as each team marched alphabetically
into the arena. He followed the Zionist script of NBC
evening news to the letter. He left no doubt the wars are
still on. The noble guys are Israel, the U.S., and the UK.
The trouble makers, according to Williams, are Palestine,
Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. All
were there, tolerated by the good guys.
When Israel entered, Williams carefully pointed out that
Palestinian terrorists had murdered team members in 1978,
and the Olympic Committee had denied Israel the privilege of
stopping the march to hold a demonstration. Williams did not
mention that at least of two of the Arab countries there are
occupied territories and could only come to London with
permission of their occupiers, one of which occupiers is
Israel, the other is the USA!
Brian Williams colored in part of the story of great Jim
Thorpe in Stockholm 1912 Olympics as the U.S. team,
conspicuous for its towering multi-millionaire pros, marched
by. Not surprisingly, Williams did not mention that the
great amateur athlete, Thorpe, was stripped of his honors
and gold medals for taking what amounted to board and room
for playing bush league summer baseball while still in
college. The spirit of the Olympics was then amateurism, and
Thorpe had broken a rule ever so slightly. Williams mention
Jim Thorpe in the same breath as Kobe Bryant and Labron
James, leaders of the U.S. Olympic basketball team and the
tennis pros Williams sisters, which is why I broke my own
rules and called him a "numbskull."
It is a symbol of this professional Olympic tackiness that
the gold medals Thorpe lost were solid, real gold, and those
handed out in the 30th Olympiad are, debased like the rest
of our currency, plated replicas, worth only a few hundred
dollar in melt down!
Two countries protested before the games got started: North
Korea over the organizers' flag blunder, and Israel over the
Olympic Committee's refusal to halt the ceremony for a
minute of silence in honor of the Israeli team of 1978. To
the Olympic decision makers' credit, Israel was not allowed
to politicize; they said Israel is not the only country to
suffer such acts.
I love the Olympics, at least most of it, the teen age
gymnasts with sacrificing families, the nameless rowers who
pass out from exhaustion over their oar, but only after they
finish; I have heard a rumor that the pro basketball players
may not be allowed in future games. I would like to see it
restored to amateurism, but that is not my purpose here.
I also love the old town of London with its tower, but it is
shadows of the past. Greece hosted the 2004 Olympics, and it
is bankrupt eight years later. England is on the same path
and will last until 2020 only if he USA uses its last breath
to bail her out. Who will rescue the U.S. from the
financial and moral recompense of our once occupier,
England? We are now the world's warmaker and occupier.

Important Messages from Women's Wing of Jamaate Islami
Pakistan
As many of us may like to complain about the long hours of
fasting this Ramadan during the hot summer, take a moment to
reflect on the destitute situation for many people around
the world that fast while working outside, under the hot
sun, without A/C or fans, and those who have little or no
food to break their fasts with. Do we really have a reason
to complain about how "hard" we have it for fasting this
Ramadan?
The battle of Badar tells us to stand up against all
oppressors and evil forces. Dr.Rukhsana Jabeen
Dr Rukhsana Jabeen, General secretary JI women wing said
that 17th Ramadan ul Mubarak marks the day of battle of
Badar which gives us a message to stand against the evil at
all costs. Dr Jabeen said that the conflict of Good vs Evil
is there since inception of mankind. The battle of badar
teaches us that the numbers and resources doesn't count, its
the will, courage, commitment to the cause and willingness
to sacrifice which secures final victory for righteous
forces. Dr Jabeen reiterated that even today the battle of
right vs wrong continues and we need to be among those who
stand for righteousness.
The Battle of Badr ....17th of Ramadan
Today is the 17th of Ramadan - a day which marks the
anniversary of the Battle of Badr..
The Battle of Badr - a battle between Truth and falsehood
...
The first battle between the believers of truth (Islam) and
the forces of evil was fought on the battle field of Badar,
60 miles from Madinah towards Makkah. On one side stood a
small group of 313 men of whom merely 60 of them wore
armour, while facing them was arranged an army of one
thousand warriors well armed and equipped. The believers had
the strength of their Faith in Allah and His Prophet. They
knew that Truth must prevail and falsehood must be
destroyed. Thus it was this very Faith which brought about
the Miracle and Truth did triumph.
Police out in force for Jerusalem Gay Pride

A participant holds flags during a performance at the tenth
annual gay pride parade in Jerusalem August 2, 2012. Some
3,000 people took part in Jerusalem's gay pride parade on
Thursday. REUTERS/Ronen Zvulun
Thousands marched in central Jerusalem on Thursday for a
milestone 10th anniversary Gay Pride parade, passing by the
spot where an ultra-Orthodox Jew stabbed three participants
in 2005.
Some carried rainbow banners and others had signs
proclaiming: "A decade of marching in Jerusalem," and: "Love
thy neighbour."
Opposition to such events is fiercer in Jerusalem, where
religious feelings can run high, than in the more laid-back
seaside city of Tel Aviv, but police were out in force to
keep the peace.
"Several hundred police officers are securing the event and
approximately 3,000 people are taking part," police
spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP.
"We'll do everything to make sure that the event takes place
as planned with no incidents."
Participants mostly shunned the skimpy, gender-bending
costumes common on the annual Tel Aviv parade and the march
was routed away from predominantly ultra-Orthodox
neighbourhoods where opponents were holding a protest rally.
