How the revelation of the Qur'an began
Narrated 'Aisha: (the mother of the faithful believers) The
commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Apostle
was in the form of good dreams which came true like bright
day light, and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon
him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he
used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days
before his desire to see his family. He used to take with
him the journey food for the stay and then come back to (his
wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise again till suddenly
the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of
Hira. The angel came to him and asked him to read. The
Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read. The Prophet
added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so
hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me
and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how
to read.' Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a
second time till I could not bear it any more. He then
released me and again asked me to read but again I replied,
'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?'
Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me,
and then released me and said, 'Read in the name of your
Lord, who has created (all that exists) has created man from
a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous." (96.1,
96.2, 96.3) Then Allah's Apostle returned with the
Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he
went to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said, "Cover me! Cover
me!" They covered him till his fear was over and after that
he told her everything that had happened and said, "I fear
that something may happen to me." Khadija replied, "Never!
By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good
relations with your Kith and kin, help the poor and the
destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the
deserving calamity-afflicted ones." Khadija then accompanied
him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul
'Uzza, who, during the PreIslamic Period became a Christian
and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would
write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him
to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight.
Khadija said to Waraqa, "Listen to the story of your nephew,
O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you
seen?" Allah's Apostle described whatever he had seen.
Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets
(angel Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were
young and could live up to the time when your people would
turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they drive me
out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, "Anyone
(man) who came with something similar to what you have
brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain
alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would
support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and
the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while. Narrated
Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari while talking about the period
of pause in revelation reporting the speech of the Prophet
"While I was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from
the sky. I looked up and saw the same angel who had visited
me at the cave of Hira' sitting on a chair between the sky
and the earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and
said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then Allah revealed the
following Holy Verses (of Quran): 'O you (i.e. Muhammad)!
wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn (the people against
Allah's Punishment),... up to 'and desert the idols.'
(74.1-5) After this the revelation started coming strongly,
frequently and regularly."
(Sahih Bukhari. Book #1, Hadith #3)

Personal Announcement
Bashir Syed, 81, Passed Away in Houston. Elder of Pakistani
Community. Solar Energy Pioneer.
by Kaukab Siddique
Br. Bashir died on June 1. We come from Allah and unto Him
we return.
I knew him for many years and sometimes we worked together
on Islamic causes.
He was a highly educated scientist with NASA but he had
astonishing moral courage which marked him out as a person
extraordinary.
When the attacks on Hadith began at a signal from the Rand
Corporation, I put up a vigorous defense and Bashir helped
me to beat back one of the worst offenders. Bashir did so
well on the Internet that the man, a misled Pakistani, has
not reappeared for years.
Even greater integrity was required to oppose the
mistreatment of the Blind Shaykh [Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman] and
Bashir did that too at the risk of his own sensitive
scientific career.
His scholarship was immense. When asked for a response on
any issue, he would support his view with five to ten book
references. He knew how to connect Islam with scientific
context.
He worked to get Pakistan to accept solar energy to end its
endless electricity failures. I hope Pakistan will
accept.
He was so rich in his meaningful life that even at 81 I was
surprised that he passed away.
May Allah accept his good deeds and give him al-Jannah.
May Allah give patience to his loving family.

India ambush: Manipur rebels 'kill at least 20 soldiers'
Northeastern India Under Military Rule: Troops killed Woman:
Shoot to kill orders.
The Indian army has struggled to contain a violent
insurgency in the country's north-east.
At least 20 soldiers have been killed and 15 injured in an
attack on a troop convoy in north-east India, police say.
The ambush occurred in the state of Manipur as the convoy
made its way to Imphal, the state capital.
The region's deadliest in years, the attack is thought to be
a retaliation for the death of a woman who soldiers are
accused of killing on Monday.
Authorities in Manipur have struggled for years with an
insurgency involving several militant groups. Thursday's
attack took place at 07:00 local time (01:30 GMT) in the
state's Chandel district, close to the border with
Myanmar.
Police said rebels used rocket-propelled grenades and
assault rifles to target the soldiers.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack,
the worst in the area in more than a decade.
The attack came a day after shops and businesses in the
state closed in protest over the alleged killing of a woman
by soldiers.
'Disturbed areas'
Manipur has been relatively peaceful in recent years and the
attack took authorities by surprise, said the BBC's Sanjoy
Majumder from Delhi.
Along with other north-east Indian states, Manipur is poorly
developed and has long complained of neglect by the federal
government, fuelling unrest, our correspondent adds.
In April, insurgents opened fire at two trucks carrying
Indian paramilitary soldiers in neighbouring Nagaland state,
killing eight of them.
Indian security forces have for more than half a decade had
sweeping shoot-to-kill powers in so-called "disturbed areas"
under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).
The controversial act was first enforced in Manipur in 1958
and later introduced in other insurgency-ridden
north-eastern states.
The law has been blamed for "fake encounter" killings and
campaigners say it is often misused. It was withdrawn in
Tripura at the end of May.
Analysis
Muhammad's (pbuh) History-Changing Decision on Captive
Women
Islam alone gives rights to Women captured in war.
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
Attacks on Islam posted on the Internet have become common
and often come come by way of attacks on hadith. Most
Muslims do not study hadith and hence don't know what to
say. Some Muslims simply turn against hadith.
I am going to take one of the most vicious attacks. This one
quotes a hadith and then attacks it. I will publish the
attack uncut and then follow it with my response.
Here is the attack:
"From Anas:
The Prophet stayed for three days between Khaibar and
Medina, and there he consummated his marriage to Safiyya
bint Huyai. I invited the Muslims to the wedding banquet in
which neither meat nor bread was offered. He ordered for
leather dining-sheets to be spread, and dates, dried yoghurt
and butter were laid on it, and that was the Prophet's
wedding banquet. The Muslims wondered, "Is she (Saffiyya)
considered as his wife or his slave girl?" Then they said,
"If he orders her to veil herself, she will be one of the
mothers of the Believers; but if he does not order her to
veil herself, she will be a slave girl." So when the Prophet
proceeded from there, he spared her a space behind him (on
his she-camel) and put a screening veil between her and the
people. (Sahih Bukhari, Source, The Alim CD)"
And then the attacker adds these comments:
"Examination of this and some related Ahadith reveals:
Captives of war were the property of Mohammed and his
supporters. Institutionalized slavery was very much part and
parcel of the Islamic emergence.
Earlier, Suffiya Bint Huyai was about to be given to another
Muslim as a slave. Mohammed chose her, and according to this
report he 'manumitted' her before marrying her. Manumission,
hence, is no more than elevating the stature of the woman
marrying Mohammed, not an established moral principal. For
had that been the case, Suffiya would not have been given to
another Muslim earlier. Further, one wonders, what is the
worth of this manumission if Suffiya, after taken away from
another Muslim, is to become Mohammed's wife? Surely, that
is an improvement for her, but not the freedom to
choose.
The most important point, and the one most relevant to this
thread, are these magic words: ""If he orders her to veil
herself, she will be one of the mothers of the Believers;
but if he does not order her to veil herself, she will be a
slave girl." There are some very sobering conclusions one
can draw from this. First, manumission did not mean a thing
and the very presence or absence of veil was to determine
what happens to Suffiya Bint Huyai. Second, veil was
required for Prophet's wives, not other women, especially
those who were slaves - exactly the point."
HERE IS MY REBUTTAL OF this attack on hadith:
Both the revelation of the Qur'an and the life of the
Prophet (pbuh) [as adumbrated in books of Hadith] were part
of a process of progressive Islamic development. These must
be placed in context to be understood. Random quotation
without context can only lead to misunderstanding.
The CONTEXT here is that WOMEN CAPTURED IN WAR had no rights
whatever. They were entirely at the mercy of their captors.
That was true of the PAGANS of Arabia, the JEWS, the
CHRISTIANS and the PERSIANS.
In our own times (20th-21st century c.e.), women in war time
have been given no rights. At the conclusion of the SECOND
WORLD WAR, the entire female population of Germany was raped
by the conquering Communist Russian armies. [The rape
victims ranged all the way from little girls to
grandmothers. EXTENSIVE information on these rapes is given
in THE FALL OF BERLIN 1945 by Antony Beevor and other
books.] In Saigon, the "friendly" U.S. troops turned even a
city which was supposed to be on their side into a brothel.
In IRAQ, there are reports of rapes of more than 4,000 women
by U.S. troops which the U.S. is refusing to
investigate.
In HADITH, only that which the Prophet (pbuh) said, did and
approved of is relevant to what Islam is all about. This is
an elementary rule which anyone studying Hadith should know.
What a Hadith refers to other people having said, thought or
referred to is NOT ISLAM but only the opinion of those
people.
Even in what the Prophet (pbuh) said, did and approved
of, we have to see the level of development and its place in
the emergence of the Islamic community.
In the Hadith quoted by the attacker (and other WAR
RELATED HADITH), the Prophet (pbuh) REVERSED THE COURSE OF
HISTORY IN THE TREATMENT OF CAPTIVE WOMEN.
As was usual in war time, captive women were distributed
among the victors.
The Prophet (pbuh) began with the most important of these
women (Safiyya bint Huyyai, r.a.). He FREED her [That's the
simple word for "manumitted."]. Then he MARRIED her.
Thus from a CAPTIVE WOMAN with NO RIGHTS, Saffiya, r.a.,
became a MOTHER OF THE BELIEVERS, and was placed at the TOP
OF ISLAMIC SOCIETY.
This became an example for all Muslims to follow: Free
the captive woman and then offer marriage to her.
The HIJAB was a SYMBOL of this EXALTATION of a captive
woman.
This was indeed the TRANSFORMATION of deeply accepted ideas
about captive women.
This is the SUNNAH of the Prophet, pbuh. Hazrat Ali, r.a.,
and other great Muslims followed this example to change the
fate of captive women. Hence the rapid expansion of Islam as
this revolutionary power smashed the slave empires of Persia
and Rome after liberating all of Arabia from the dead hand
of slave-holding tribes.
Interestingly, it was at Khaibar too that the Prophet, pbuh,
finally banned temporary marriage which was deeply
entrenched in the Arab culture during war time.
There is no place for slavery in Islam. It is against the
Sunnah of the Prophet. Let's conclude with a revealing
Hadith which I am sure those who attack hadith will never
quote. Here is the Sunnah of the Prophet, pbuh:
"When the messenger of Allah, pbuh, passed away, he had
neither a male slave nor a female slave...." [Sahih
Bukhari.]

Horrific Genocide of Burma's Rohingya's Muslims: Pakistan's
Islamic Leaders say it is an International Issue.
by Qaiser Sharif, Mansoora, Lahore
[Buddhists are maiming, burning alive, killing, raping
Muslims in Burma - Editor New Trend]
LAHORE, June 5; A Jamaat e Islami delegation headed by
Ameer, JIP, Senator Sirajul Haq, visited the United Nation's
office in Islamabad on Friday and presented a memorandum for
the UN Secretary General, against the inhuman treatment
being meted out to the Ruhangiya Muslims for the last
several years.
The delegation included JI deputy chief Mian Muhammad Aslam,
JI Foreign wing chief Abdul Ghaffar Aziz besides JI chief
for Rawalpindi and Islamabad Zubair Farooq Khan and Shamsur
Rahman Swati.
The UN office assured the JI delegation that the memorandum
and the covering letter would reach the UN Secretary General
within an hour.
Later, while talking to the media at the spot, Sirajul Haq
said that the JI had submitted, on behalf of the Pakistani
nation, a memorandum to draw the attention of the UN towards
the genocide of the Ruhangiya Muslims going on for years. He
said it had been stated in the memorandum that the
population of Ruhangiya Muslims in Burma had come down from
five million to only one million within a few years and it
was most shameful that neither the UN nor the Muslim rulers
had taken any notice of the issue. Untold brutalities were
being perpetrated on these Muslins with the backing of the
Burmese government. He said it was an irony that the UN
which even talked of animal rights, had kept a criminal
silence on the genocide of the Myanmar Muslims.
He said that thousands of Ruhangiya Muslims were sailing in
the sea but no country was willing to provide them shelter.
He said he feared that divine wrath may befall on the world
on account of this brutal behavior of the humans watching
the misery of their fellow beings.
The JI chief slated the attitude of the OIC on this issue
and said if the OIC could not protect the Muslim minorities
in different countries, it should better be wound up. He
deplored that the over fifty Muslim states were witnessing
the bloodletting of the Myanmar Muslims like deaf and
dumb.
Sirajul Haq also appealed to the UN, the OIC and Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif to take effective steps for the
protection of the Ruhangiya Muslims. He said the JI had
decided to raise the issue at every forum and it would also
stage a big rally in the federal capital on June 14.
Budget has added to common man's miseries . Rulers are the
problem.
LAHORE, June 7;Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Paksitan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has said that the common man's problem was atta
flour], not motor vehicles or air-conditioners, and the
government had further burdened the masses by increasing the
prices of essential items.
Addressing the participants of the JI monthly workshop at
Mansoora, on Sunday, he said that an exploitative and class
based system prevailed in the country. The ruling elite
treated the masses as untouchables and were inflicting every
possible tyranny on the people to prolong the status
quo.
Hundreds of JI workers from all over the country attended
the workshop. JI deputy chief Hafiz Muhammad Idrees, was
also present.
Sirajul Haq said that the real hurdle in the way of Islam's
just system was the rulers and not US or Israel, as he
rulers did not want the common man to rise to their status
or to reach the corridors of power. He said the general
public was tired of the prevailing system and would go to
any extent for getting rid of the corrupt, oppressive
rulers, and added that the JI would provide them as the
alternate political force. The JI was trying hard that the
common man should reach the assemblies, he added.
Sirajul Haq decried the silence of the world at large, the
UN the OIC and the Muslim world over the miserable plight of
the Myanmar Muslims. Why don't the forces who promptly
separated East Timor and South Sudan from the Muslims states
see the bloodletting of the Myanmar Muslims, he asked. He
also announced a protest demonstration against the
oppression on the Rohangiya Muslims by the JI in Islamabad
on Thursday, June 14.
Sirajul Haq said that unfortunately, the rulers in Islamabad
were Washington's slaves and looked upon those who recited
the holy Quran and talked of the Islamic system, as
criminals and would like to throw them into the sea to be
drowned.
He said the JI wanted to establish a just and equitable
education system in the country wherein the children of the
poor worker could get the facilities available to the Prime
Minister's son. He said under the JI government, the mosque
would be the centre of the society and all big government
buildings would be converted into colleges and universities
and education up to matriculation would be free.

Islamic State seizes another town in Libya
June 6.
BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - Islamic State militants have
seized another town in Libya, the group and a military
source said on Friday, expanding the territory they control
in the strife torn country.
The militant group, which controls large parts of Iraq and
Syria, has exploited a security vacuum in Libya as two rival
governments struggle for power, four years after the ousting
of Muammar Gaddafi. Islamic State took over the city of
Sirte on Libya's central Mediterranean coast in stages this
year, occupying government buildings and last month the
city's airport. The group has now also taken over the town
of Harwa to the east of Sirte, according to a statement
posted on social media.
A military source confirmed militants were controlling
Harwa, adding they had taken over government buildings.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the killings of
dozens of Egyptian and Ethiopian Christians, the storming of
a luxury hotel in Tripoli and attacks on oilfields as well
as suicide bombings in several cities. The group has a
strong presence in the eastern city of Derna and has carried
out suicide attacks in Benghazi, the main eastern city. The
government of premier Abdullah al-Thinni has been based in
the east since losing the capital Tripoli in August to a
rival administration.

wounded since the Islamic State {IS} advanced on them
several months back. If they are not provided new weaponry
by USA, they could collapse. The new IS mode of sending in
tons of dynamite in armored cars captured from US backed
regime are deadly, he said. A concerted IS attack could make
the entire Kurdish defense line collapse. [Business Insider,
also in Wall Street Journal].
June 5-7: From Ramadi, Islamic State fighters are trying to
advance towards Fallujah and then Baghdad. IS has shut off
most of the water flow from Ramadi dam making it possible
for fighters to cross the river on foot. On June 6 IS
fighters crossed over and attacked Habbaniyah air base but
retreated under heavy Iraqi fire.
A martyrdom operator killed 45 regime troops near Samarra on

Boston
Muslim Shot and Killed & then Convicted by the Media
by Karin Friedemann
At 7am on Tuesday, June 2, a black Muslim man, Usaama Rahim,
26, was shot by Boston FBI and police in front of the CVS in
Roslindale, a relatively nice area of Boston. His brother,
Ibrahim Rahim, who is an imam in California, stated that
Usaama was waiting for the bus to go to work when police and
FBI approached him for "questioning." The police claim he
wielded a knife, which left them no choice but to shoot him
dead.
Not a single community organization in Boston from the Green
Rainbow Party to the Muslims have made any kind of immediate
attempt at organizing a demonstration or making a statement
as one would expect. The news reports that the man was
"under investigation" (as we all are). This alone is enough
for them to say the authorities killed a "terrorism
suspect." There are some reports the man had made some
statements online supporting the Islamic Caliphate. He had
been trailed by government agents for the past 6 days 24/7
and was said to be visibly nervous.
This event is even more alarming than your average police
shooting because, like the case of Ibrahim Todashev, who was
killed by Boston police and FBI in his Florida home in 2013,
the murder appears to be premeditated. Todashev is also said
to have lunged at officers, which somehow resulted in him
being hit in every major organ and a final kill shot to the
back of the head.
"CNN already has the black Muslim killed by Boston police
convicted as "part of terror network" - a "source" said so!"
opined Glenn Greenwald that day. "1) Police kill a black US
Muslim on the street; 2) anonymously claim he follows ISIS
on social media; 3) case closed."
Local clergy were invited to view the videotape of the
event. Imam Farooq Abdullah, who is a highly respected local
African American leader, stated that the footage was very
distant and inconclusive as to whether or not the man had
brandished a knife but it was true that the police backed up
several yards before shooting him in the chest. He was not,
as his brother Ibrahim
was told by their father, shot in the back, nor was he
talking on a cell phone at that moment.
Nevertheless, there was no need to kill him. The story about
him planning to behead a police officer sounds far-fetched,
though if true, would indicate that he was either mentally
unstable or just making a joke about smoking pigs. If the
authorities actually had any evidence of this plot, they
could have easily obtained a warrant for his arrest.
Approaching him in the street to intimidate him was
certainly not the appropriate way to deal with either a
dangerous terrorist or a mentally ill person. They could
have left their card at his house or called him.
The most worrying aspect of this entire story is the
complete silence of the usual activist crowd.
What is the matter with this town? They stopped traffic when
police killed a black man elsewhere, but when it happens
here at home they don't care? Why, because he is Muslim? I
posted a comment expressing concern on Mayor Walsh's
Facebook page and was deluged by hateful comments, mostly
from Irish people, who are convinced the police must have
been justified in killing a terrorist and that by killing
him, they saved a lot of taxpayer's money.
Most likely, public sentiment against Muslims has been
stoked by the Boston Marathon Bombing trials, which are all
winding down this month. On Tuesday, June 2, Dias
Kadyrbayev, the Kazakh friend who threw away the backpack,
was sentenced to 6 years by Judge Woodlock after agreeing to
plead guilty. Azamat Tazhayakov of Kazakhstan and Robel
Phillipos of Ethiopian heritage, who both plead innocent but
were found guilty, and Khairullozhon Matanov of Kyrgyzstan,
who agreed to plead guilty because he knew he would not get
a fair trial in Boston, will be sentenced within the week.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's official sentencing is scheduled for
June 24. Dias, Azamat and Khairullozhon are expected to be
deported after serving out their sentences. Stephen Silva,
who sold Dzhokhar the gun, got 7 years. Silva is being held
in general population and Robel is under house arrest while
the Asian kids are all in solitary confinement. After
sentencing they will be moved to other prisons. I pray they
will be safe.
Houston
Convert to Islam gets 7 Years for Trying to Join IS: Trapped
by Undercover Agent.
A Texas man who admitted to trying to join the Islamic State
group to fight in Syria was sentenced to nearly seven years
in federal prison Friday, US officials said.
Michael Todd Wolfe, who went by the name Faruq, was arrested
at a Houston airport in June 2014 following an FBI
sting.
The 24-year-old pleaded guilty to attempting to provide
material support to a designated terrorist organization
later that month.
Prosecutors said Wolfe admitted that he began planning to
join the jihadist group in August 2013 and "participated in
physical fitness training, practiced military maneuvers and
made efforts to conceal his communications about his plans
to travel overseas to engage in violent jihad."

How The Duggars Dug Their Own Graves (pun intended) : If you
Oppose Homos and LGBT, you are Punished.
by Sis. Aisha [Jamaat al-Muslimeen]
New York City - Remember, last year, when some members of
the Duggar clan came out against homosexuality? Remember how
the homosexuals and their straight-allies, unsuccessfully,
tried to petition for TLC to pull their hit show, "19 and
Counting" in August 2014?
Well, the flap they are experiencing is a direct result of
being targeted by the promosexuals.
The Duggars helped a so-called anti-LGBT bill get passed in
their hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas, in December
2014.
Josh Duggar, who is 27 years old and married with children,
was counseled at the age of 15 years old for molesting 5
prepubescent girls. Four of these girls were his own
sisters! It was inappropriate touching and he was the one
who confessed to his parents in an effort to seek help for
it. According to some reports, the parents dragged their
feet for a few months before taking any action. However,
when they did take action they brought the issue to their
Christian elders, who referred the boy to special
counseling.
Since then, no such reports of any inappropriate touching on
Josh Duggar's part. He was very honest with his girlfriend
about his past but, after any misgivings, she later became
his wife.
Molestation is unacceptable behavior. It has been proven
that most adult pedophiles started as a predators when they
were children. However, going by U.S. law, they do have
counseling programs for this behavior and they seemed to
have caught him when he was still very young.
The question I asked myself was: If these criminal acts
occurred when Josh Duggar was 15 years old then why am I
hearing about it at all? According to U.S. law, all juvenile
records are sealed. Yes, there are career criminals who got
their start at the age of 14 years old but, society will
only hear about that criminal's arrest at the age of 18
years old and beyond.
Media reports claim that the police department released this
report which, is why the Duggar's have retained an attorney
to sue for violation of their privacy. Had the law been
followed, the Duggar family would still be on television and
the promosexuals and their straight-allies would be
seething! But, America is a board game with very unfair
rules meant to keep the oppressors and other bullies in
power. Anytime, the meek get an advantage, the board game
rules change midstream to give the oppressor the upper
hand.
The Duggars had to be punished for their anti-gay views by
being pushed off the air. However, the promosexuals could
not do this fairly so, they had a hired gun dig up
information and illegally release it. When TLC approached
the Duggars about creating a reality show based on the
brood, the incidents had already occurred five years
earlier. So why now is it an issue. It seems that everyone,
including Oprah, who would not touch them with a ten foot
pole after learning about this incident, knew about it.
However, the Duggars still believe that they were handling a
family issue.
This how the promosexuals play. This has happened with
outed-Republican politicians, who voted against gay
marriage. They are the dirtiest of Shaitan's seedlings. If
you tangle with them, be prepared to get a little soiled
but, hopefully, people can observe how these cases and
develop more potent strategies to weaken their position.
Many people fear homosexuals. But, Hollywood is full of
them. It was the first organized Sin City in America and
there are many evil secrets, skeletons, and bodies found
there in people's closets. This is no place for anyone who
calls himself a Christian or a Muslim. Hollywood was founded
by the Jews and many of them push Zionism, homosexuality,
atheism, etc on the American public.
In other Gaydom News....
Bruce...I mean...Caitlyn Jenner will be awarded the Arthur
Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPY's. There were other
people who others believe are more deserving of this award.
Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin's daughter, questioned the fact
that ESPN never released names of any nominees for that
award. Of course, Jenner is being given this award to
promote a very confusing transgender agenda.
It is said that many transgender women (that is a man living
as a woman) are more likely to be murder victims simply
because of discrimination. This is an outright lie! A
bold-faced lie!
Many transgender women are killed by men they had sex with
because these men discovered that they had sex with a man
and then, they go ballistic! These transgender women,
usually, come back and flaunt the fact that they were
actually men. These are the ones being killed because they
were being deceptive. Of course, the reason why these
straight men get lured into this trap is because of their
desire for sodomy.
I am still confused by all of these labels. The transgenders
will be the most difficult group to deal with because they
are really living in la-la-land. They want society to
address them as the sex they want to be rather than the way
they actually are anatomically speaking. Many of them still
have male genitalia but, still want to be considered female
simply because they wear a dress and give themselves female
names.
When I was younger these were terms thrown around:
Transvestite - A man who cross dresses as a woman.
Transsexual - someone who had a sex change operation.
Drag Queen or King - men and women, respectively, who cross
dress for entertainment. They could very well be
straight.
Transgenders - are supposed to be people who want to become
transsexual but they are pre-op. Gender transition surgery
is very expensive. Although some of them cannot afford this
surgery, they still want to be addressed as the sex they
want to become. Some of them may never be able to afford the
surgery! Very confusing for our young boys and girls,
especially since being transgender has nothing to do with
sexual orientation.
Gender transition surgery used to require psychiatric
evaluations before being approved. There are people who were
born hermaphrodites (born with both genitals) and doctors
would force the parents to make the quick decision to choose
the child's sex. If the child was chosen to become a boy
but, developed attractions for boys and just always felt
like a girl in a boy's body then, they were prime candidates
for the transition surgery. These people were usually
straight. Now, I think that some of these people play
games.
Caitlyn Jenner stated that "she" still has feelings for
women, too. These surgeries are very expensive to perform
and this is probably why the psychiatric evaluation is now
sidestepped! Meaning, there is a lot of money to be made
here. Only in America!
Hollywood has been asking the more virile White Hollywood
actors for their opinion about the Caitlyn Jenner spread.
Actors such as Mark Wahlberg, who has been arrested for hate
crimes, and Kevin Dillion both gave the Vogue spread a
thumbs up. Pathetic! The only one who said she felt sorry
for Caitlyn Jenner's ex-wife, Kris (Kardashian) Jenner, was
scandalmonger Wendy Williams.
The families often get ignored with these LGBT agendas. When
homosexuality was a sin you could be penalized in a divorce
for living a lie during a twenty year marriage. Now, people
want us to focus on this individual's courage to publicly
"come out" and defy Allah!
Falls Church, Virginia
Great Supporter of US Government dies: Lamented by CAIR,
Suhaib Webb and ICNA. Two of his sons are in the US
Army.
Shaikh Hanooti's Funeral.
A large crowd gathered for his Funeral at Dar al-Hijra
Mosque in Falls Church on June 5.
All the Muslim supporters of the US government are mourning
Shaikh Hanooti. Among them the saddest is ICNA. Here is what
ICNA President Naeem Baig said:
"We have indeed lost a great scholar. Shaikh Hanooti was a
leader, a teacher and a resource for the Muslim community in
North America for many years. He will long be remembered as
an outstanding scholar in North America," ICNA President
Naeem Baig said in a statement published on its website.
What did Hanooti have to say for himself? Here is what he
said when questioned about US oppression of Muslims in the
Middle East:
'He stressed that he held nothing against the U.S.
government, and that he had always admired American society
for its tolerance and openness. A longtime permanent
resident, he is married to an American. He said two of his
sons work for the U.S. military, in Kuwait and Germany.
"I love America," he said. "I always say to Muslims in my
speeches that 70 percent of the laws in America are in
compliance with Islam, and that they should Americanize
everything in their life except things that are not in
compliance with their faith." [Washinton Post, March 17,
2007]
Comment on Shaikh Hanooti and Fiqh Council of North
America
by Nadrat Siddique
Shaikh Hanooti was an outstanding member of the Fiqh Council
of North America, and famously a signatory to this. Neither
he nor the other signatories ever withdrew his signature
from it, even after the killing of over a million Iraqis,
and tens of thousands of Afghans by U.S. forces. Nor were
any comparable statements issued by al-Hanooti and Fiqh
Council condemning the U.S. occupation of Iraq and
Afghanistan, and the terror it brought to the people of
those lands. In the age of Big Brother, such fatwas seem to
me to fall in the same category as public confessions and
repudiations of self, even for acts completely removed from
oneself. Does one, for example, ever see mainstream rabbi's
(other than perhaps Neturai Karta, who are hated by the
Zionists), engage in repudiations of the terror enacted by
the Israeli Army upon Palestinians?
FIQH COUNCIL OF NORTH AMERICA ISSUES FATWA AGAINST
TERRORISM
The Fiqh Council of North America wishes to reaffirm Islam's
absolute condemnation of terrorism and religious extremism.
Islam strictly condemns religious extremism and the use of
violence against innocent lives. There is no justification
in Islam for extremism or terrorism. Targeting civilians
life...
