Pakistani air force is once again attacking
Islamic groups in North Waziristan.
6.28.
After one year of fighting, the mujahideen in Waziristan continue to defy the
military.
BBC has broken the report that Karachi's MQM gangs were
trained and armed by India.
The heat wave in Karachi has killed more than 2000 people,
the poor, the downtrodden. The government has failed
miserably to help ordinary people. Jamaate Islami, Eedh,
adDawa and other charities are helping but not enough.
Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "There will be three types of people
whom Allah will neither speak to them on the Day of
Resurrection nor will purify them from sins, and they will
have a painful punishment:
They are,
a man possessed
superfluous water (more than he needs) on a way and he
withholds it from the travelers.
a man who gives a
pledge of allegiance to an Imam (ruler) and gives it only
for worldly benefits, if the Imam gives him what he wants,
he abides by his pledge, otherwise he does not fulfill his
pledge;
and a man who sells something to another man
after the 'Asr prayer and swears by Allah (a false oath)
that he has been offered so much for it whereupon the buyer
believes him and buys it although in fact, the seller has
not been offered such a price."
Khutba
Imam Khalil Spoke On Islamic Role Against Oppression in
America, Homosexual "Marriage" & Occupation of Muslim
Lands
On June 26, Imam Khalil Abdur Rahman from North Carolina
gave the Juma' khutba at Masjid Jamaat al-Muslimeen in
Baltimore.
He is the international representative of Imam Jamil al-Amin
and was introduced by Br. Kaukab Siddique.
Some of the main points he made were:
The best narrative is the Qur'an. It is the absolute and
complete truth. The best example is Muhammad, peace be on
him. We must keep Islam pure and not bring innovations into
it.
Islam is spreading in America because of the oppressed
people of this country who are searching for a solution to
their problems. These are the masses affected by the prison
system, the poor, the downtrodden, the ignored and left out
by the established system. We must pay attention to the
thirst for Islam among these segments of society.
Every day in our cities we can see how the Black
communities, particularly the poor, are being
mistreated.
Ramadan is the greatest blessing for people who want to
make s big change in their lives for the better.
The Supreme Court decision today in favor of homosexual
marriage is not acceptable to anyone who believes in Allah
and the Last Day. We cannot stop these rulings but we can
curtail their impact.
Aggression against Muslim countries, be it in the Middle
East or Africa, is the implementation of Euro centric
ideologies and the reality of White supremacist power.
Imam Khalil provided the masjid library copies of Imam Jamil
al-Amin's famous book REVOLUTION BY THE BOOK.
In turn Br. Kaukab gave him Shamim Siddiqui's book GLOBAL
ISLAMIC MOVEMENT. A copy of the book was also given to Sis.
Ashira, administrator of the masjid, and to 4 others.
Young man embraced Islam:
After the prayers, a young African American man embraced
Islam. Before giving him the shahada, Br. Kaukab explained
to him that Allah is not the name of a human being. Allah is
the Creator of the Universe and there is no one like Him,
and that we must study the life of the Prophet Muhammad,
pbuh, to understand Islam. As the brother recited the
kalima, the masjid echoed with chants of Takbeer, Allahu
Akbar. It was an emotional scene. A Pakistani brother was
weeping with joy.

Boston
Marathon Bombing Case: They Forgave the killer of 9 in
Charleston, but not Dzhokhar.
by Karin Friedemann
On Wednesday, June 24, 2015, Dzhokhar "Jahar" Tsarnaev
finally spoke.
"I would like to begin in the name of Allah, the exalted and
glorious, the most gracious, the most merciful, "Allah"
among the most beautiful names. Any act that does not begin
in the name of God is separate from goodness."
The victims, the jury, nobody was expecting this religious
sermon.
"He did crack up and pause a few times, it sounded like he
was trying to compose himself," stated a courtroom
observer.
Before thanking his attorneys, he invoked the name of
Muhammed. He thanked those who testified on his behalf, he
thanked the jury for their service, and even the Court.
"The Prophet Muhammed, peace and blessings be upon him, said
that if you do not show mercy to Allah's creation, then
Allah will not have mercy on you, so I'd like to apologize
now to the victims, to the survivors. Now, I am sorry for
the lives that I've taken, for the suffering that I've
caused you, for the damage that I've done. Irreparable
damage."
What he said satisfied neither the victims nor those who
continue to believe that he was framed.
"Immediately after the bombing, which I am guilty of - if
there's any lingering doubt about that, let there be no
more. I did do it, along with my brother."
Those who were hoping he would 'do a Tarek Mehanna'
political speech got instead a speech on forgiveness that
sounded at once sincere yet highly scripted, but answered
nobody's questions like why? or how?
"Now, I am a Muslim. My religion is Islam. The God I
worship, besides whom there is no other God, is Allah. And I
prayed to Allah to bestow his mercy upon the deceased, those
affected in the bombing, and their families. Allah says in
the Quran that with every hardship is relief. I pray for
your relief, for your healing, for your well-being, for your
strength. I ask Allah to have mercy upon me and my brother
and my family. I ask Allah to bestow his mercy upon those
present here today. And Allah knows best those deserving of
His mercy."
This convoluted sort of apology left everyone scratching
their heads.
Why would he wait until AFTER he was found guilty and
sentenced to death to apologize? And why, how, what the heck
- and how is it that he is suddenly speaking with a thick
Arabian accent? Not a Russian accent. He sounded Middle
Eastern, two different observers told New Trend. It really
was him, they said, but strangely out of character. He used
to talk like "Yo what's up."
The most bizarre part of it is that not only Carmen Ortiz
the lead prosecutor, but Judge O'Toole made public
statements condemning Jahar's interpretation of his own
religion.
"You did it on purpose... It is tragic, for your victims and
now for you, surely someone who believes God smiles on and
rewards the killing of innocents believes in a cruel god.
This is not and cannot be the god of Islam," said the judge
right before condemning Jahar to death. So is he being
executed for murder or for a politically incorrect
interpretation of Islam?
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, whose office prosecuted
Tsarnaev, said she was "struck more by what he didn't
say.
"He didn't renounce terrorism, he didn't renounce violent
extremism, and he couched his comments in line with Allah
and Allah's view, which gave it a religious tone, and there
was nothing...about this crime that was
Islam-associated."
Tsarnaev adhered to a radicalized version of Islam was not
in line with the faith's "peaceful and loving" roots, Ortiz
explained.
"The youth will not stay quiet while America is killing the
innocent Muslims. As my sons there will be many many many
inshallah! And I will die with my love towards them," texted
Jahar's mother to a supporter.
"Your country kills the brothers and sisters and those good
hearted and beautiful souls like my sons who love their
ummah cannot see the conspiracies of your government towards
our ummah and things like that happen! For example if
someone kills my brother or my sister I will not blink and
destroy whoever killed them - why?? Because I love
them...Everything is by Allah's will... Allah knows the
intention and the purity of it and what was the intention
for!" concluded Jahar's mother.
I am worried that they are going to execute Jahar before we
learn the true story. His statement created as many
questions as it answered. This is quite a decade, quite a
century, already. However, Jahar has been moved to a prison
in Florence, Colorado. It is nearby but not the same place
where Imam Jamil al-Amin is being held in Supermax.
Not this Confederate flag controversy, again!
Flag without Power: Flag with Power and Numerous Crimes
ignored
by Sis. Aisha [New Yofrk City.
This new call to ban the Confederate flag stems from the
murder of nine Black church parishioners by Dylann Roof, who
is seen a picture holding a Confederate flag in one hand and
a gun in the other. Imagine that....a White murderer
infiltrates and kills in a place of worship and the only
call for action is to ban the Confederate Flag.
In an unprecedented move, some Southern states, such as
Alabama, pulled their Confederate flags from the poles, in
certain areas! Normally, these calls to ban this flag have
been met with insolence or a laconic silence by Southern
politicians. Why listen, now? They don't respect Black
people. Look at how they treat an H.N.I.C. like Pres. Obama,
even as he licks their boots! We don't even have the power
to make them respect him! So, why are all the Whites
pretending to be united against racism?
White society does not mind locking up the average ordinary
White supremacist citizen but, they cry foul if a White
supremacist cop is arrested!The root of racism has always
been White supremacy but, now it has been re-defined as the
ideology of those who don't like non-Whites. It has been
reduced to a mere emotion.This is all a political ploy by
White politicians to make everyone believe that we Americans
are united. That is a word used to criminalize Muslims. Old
Glory (American Flag), is in full effect, and it is the
universal symbol of White Power!
Many White politicians cannot bring themselves to refer to
this White demon as a terrorist. There is no mention of him
being under any surveillance, in spite of the fact that many
of these Whites have been killing Arabs these past few
months, as well. But, yet, we are suppose to see them as
changed, new and improved humanitarians.
No! Homeland Security wants to waste taxpayer money by
surveilling innocent Muslims who do nothing more than
identify with the IS. Then, they convince kuffar Americans
that this is the way to stop terrorism. We Muslims know that
these surveillance programs are apart of the global war on
Islam.
Let me give you a brief history of the Confederate
flag.....
The Confederate flag became the flag of the South during the
American Civil War from 1860 to 1864. It is said to be the
bloodiest battle in American history.
The reason for the Civil War was over money! There was a
North versus South beef. The North coveted Southern products
and wanted to get them cheaply but, in an act of antagonism,
the Federal government imposed tariffs on products imported
from the South. These were extra fees charged to Southern
businesses to export their products North, usually
businesses pass these fees on to their customers, who are
not happy about it.
The Southern products like, tobacco, were once again going
to be taxed at a high rate and Southern Plantation owners
did not like it. They felt that America depended on the
South for its survival and Southerners were tired of being
taken for granted. The secession was precipitated on tariffs
and other issues but, the war was started when the Union
Army came South to prevent the secession by Southern
states.
The slavery question was considered hypocritical on the part
of Southerners since it was Massachusetts, a Northern state,
that first instituted slavery in 1641! Slavery existed all
over America. In fact, during the Civil War there were many
more African slaves fighting for the Confederacy than
anywhere else in America! The South was winning big
time!
Pres. Abraham Lincoln had to free all of the African slaves
to bolster the depleted Union Army. He had no choice! Today,
we see the Union Army as the blessed army fighting to free
the African slave. The reason is that Pres. Lincoln was
successful in making slavery a primary issue, by then. Now,
England switched sides to become a Union Army supporter,
since they ended slavery some years earlier.
The Confederate flag, at that time, was seen as the flag of
rebellion. However, it has become known as the flag for
those overt White supremacists wanting to wind back the
clock to the Jim Crow Era and even before that time.
As usual, there are Black American elitists who fall for
this Confederate flag debate because they want to be liked
by their White liberal friends. They don't understand that
this is a ruse to make overt racists the fall guy while the
polite White liberal racists are free to continue to thwart
Black empowerment efforts in stealth fashion. plus, these
White liberal city mice are not going to take any seriously
debilitating action against their more conservative country
cousins!
You'll never see these Blacks on the front line speaking for
Black empowerment or against police criminality. Too
controversial. They want to assimilate with their White
liberal friends and bosses.
It is just like going to a khutba about the importance of
Fasting when, just two days before, Israel attacked Masjid
Al-Aqsa, again! These scared Muslims don't want to upset
their liberal Zionist Jewish bosses. So, they discuss what
we already know or can learn on our own about Fasting.
As I have stated before, the goal is less about ending
racist beliefs among the oppressor and more about our
empowerment so that we can rely on ourselves. Oppression
cannot thrive when the oppressed empower themselves and
become fearless!
Do people understand that there has been more injustice and
oppression inflicted upon Americans and sovereign nations
under Old Glory (The American flag) than any Confederate
flag?! Wake up! Old Glory is the flag representing White
power and dominance!
The Confederate flag has no power! It is just a symbol. Now,
these White supremacists may commit their crimes with the
Confederate flag in their possession but, it has always been
Old Glory to their rescue when they've been acquitted,
especially the criminal police, today. Don't get
suckered!
America at War with the God!
A Pakistani Intellectual's Response To US Supreme Court
Ruling on Homosexual "Marriage."
Immoral Attitude Targeted Dr. Aafia and hailed Malala
by Dr. Anwar-ul-Haque [Islamabad]
[New Trend is publishing this critique because Muslim world
will probably be the next target of Obama's homosexual
"army." Editor.]
The recent narrow 4-5 decision of American Supreme Court has
shocked the World. While those advocating homosexuality and
gay rights were obviously jubilant, many in USA and outside
were in shock. To them it was unbelievable that America with
a slogan of "In God we trust" will go so radically opposite
God's rules and nature itself.
The judgment raises serious questions about the competency,
credibility and even integrity of some of the judges.
Without first defining the most basic features of "marriage"
the judges went on to create their own definition giving it
an altogether new color! Marriage is redefined as "Union"; a
union which makes two greater than the sum of two! What a
joke and what a rubbish definition of marriage! If I were
the examiner and someone gives this definition of marriage I
will certainly give him no more than Zero!
American Judiciary has shown numerous flaws and lacunae and
its seems as enslaved as American administration,
bureaucracy, business and media! There is blatant terrorism
against "unwanted" or "hostile" individuals.
For example Dr. Aafia against whom no case could be brought
except that she was snatching and pointing a rifle towards
an American soldier. With no evidence of her finger prints
etc. she was sentenced to 86 years in rigorous solitary jail
while the American Government in collaboration with
Musharraf Government was responsible for killing of her 6
month old son, abducting 2 1/2 year old Maryam and keeping
her 7 year old Ahmed in jail with severe torture. She
herself was also subjected to severe torture, violence and
physical abuse. The case of snatching and pointing a rifle
by this extremely frail and weak lady in jail is also bogus.
But as long as the victim is a Muslim or Black etc every
thing is kosher and halal except those who agree to dance at
the tunes of propagandists; then you may be even granted
"Nobel Prize" like that of Malala who repeatedly lied about
not having girls' schools in Swat or Pakistan. Swat is full
of numerous girls schools!
Male and female gender are seen in the entire earthly
kingdom. Man, animal, bird, worm, plant have all this
differentiation. Without this most basic biological
distinction and differentiation the species will not grow
and propagate. There are very powerful behavioral and
emotional characteristics based on genetics, hormones,
physical and mental developments. And these differences can
be seen at very early stages of development. The physical
development and characteristics are in harmony with the role
and the works required by each gender.
Man being the crown of the creation has many distinguishing
features based on gender differentiation. This of course
includes the distinct powerful institution of marriage and
human relations i.e. husband, wife, father, mother, brother,
sister, uncle, cousin etc. And all this is very natural. The
American Supreme Court's decision is a devastating blow to
the very basic human institutions and to the very fabric of
human society! Marriage is not seen in animal and plant
kingdom. Marriage and associated phenomena are responsible
for "family life", society and all associated colorful
activities.
Same Sex, Equal Sex etc are attractive slogans. But if that
was the case then why the American parliament has very few
women? Likewise why American armed forces have very few
women, Why there are far too few female doctors as compared
to male doctors in America? Respecting the gender
differences does not mean discriminating against one sex
over other! In some respect females are superior while in
other males are! Recognizing emotional, behavioral and
physical differences is wise and just and not the other way.
Ignoring these differences is like eating through the nose
and seeing through ears! People can have equal rights but
not the "same rights". A lay person can not be given the
responsibility of treating the patients and flying the
airplanes; here distinction is made on the basis of
education and training etc. Father can not be mother and
mother can not be father! Quran clearly respects feminine
characteristics; for example in case of a witness it
requires 2 females not because female has less intellect but
because they can freely mutually consult each other; the
reason clearly mentioned in Quran. Similarly females are
exempted from congregational prayers keeping in view of
their duties as mothers etc.
Homosexuality is not an entirely new phenomenon. Its as old
as from the time of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham). His nephew
Lot was also a prophet. Lot's nation had developed the habit
of homosexuality. They had lost interest in marriages and
had no shame in declaring their preferences. Quran e majeed
provides vivid description of destruction of people of Lot
with rain of stones; each stone marked for each
individual.
Is there no punishment for homosexuality today?
Homosexuality has brought along with it numerous medical and
social problems! It has also cost billions and billions of
dollars to the Governments and the people! Homosexuality has
brought along with it a debilitating disease Acquired
Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Because of this immune
deficiency our body is not able to resist many different
infections. Some of these infections may lead to cancer. The
AIDS virus infects not only our defense cells such CD4
lymphocytes but also macrophages and some brain cells. The
autopsy or postmortem examination has revealed over 90% AIDS
patients having some form of brain involvement. Various
psychological and mental health problems are therefore not
surprising. Many innocents such as newborn babies and
recipients of blood products had acquired these serious
diseases as "friendly fire" or bystanders! The hospitals and
clinics in USA are cramped with AIDS patients. Huge amount
of medical bills are paid to them through insurance system
thus laying enormous burden on every individual. Socially
homosexuality has ruined numerous families. Wives are
shocked and dismayed to find their husbands' gay attitude
and relations! Of course with destruction of family children
are the worst sufferers!
Homosexuality is thus not an individual problem or benign
phenomenon of selection of one of the behaviors. Its has
profound negative effects on individual, family, society and
economy. The question is; Is this less severe punishment
than the stones of the people of Lot? One Urdu poet Jigar
Muradabadi had nicely put " The folly of intellect has shown
these days where man has been reduced while the shadows have
enlarged.
War News Analysis
One Year after the Caliphate, ISIS Ramadan Offensive Takes
the World by Surprise
New Trend research based on western sources studied
critically.
By June 24, 2015 looked like the ISIS story was over. The
Communist Kurdish group YPG captured Tel Abyed as it
advanced under cover of intense bombing by the US air force:
America and rhe Communists working together against a hard
core Islamic movement. YPG found 52 bodies of Islamic
fighters killed in US air strikes. Another 40 Islamic
fghters were killed by the air force when they tried to
leave Tel Abyed. ISIS supply route from Turkey had been
blocked. There was talk of YPG advancing on Raqqa, the
Islamic capital.
Then on June 25 everything changed. A small force of ISIS
mujahideen entered Kobane dressed as Kurds. Kobane was
firmly in YPG hands. They had even brought civilian support
systems back into the city shattered by US bombing. From
June 25 to 28, the Islamic fighters killed 223 of Kurdish
fighters and their civilian support groups. Instead of
getting trapped in Kobane as before, the mujahideen withdrew
in good order but came under YPG counterattack which killed
an estimated 50 of he fighters.
Also on June 25, ISIS attacked the Syrian regime forces
which control half of the northeastern city of Hasakeh. They
could not take over the entire city owing to quick bombing
strikes by the US air force. Fighting inside the city is
going on in Hasakeh. Here the US and Assad's forces are in
mutual support roles.
On June 27, Islamic State fighters [ISIS] advanced towards
Hama, a key city controlled by Assad and defended by
Hizbullah. The Syrian Observatory [which is hostile to ISIS]
admitted that 70 regime troops [now Hizbullah] were killed
in the fighting.
These are unacceptable losses for Assad who is also losing
in the northern province of Idlib from where al-Nusra is
slowly advancing into Latakia province [the Shiite-Alawite
stronghold.]
[June 28: Heavy fighting is reported in the Ghouta and Jobir
suburbs of Damascus as al-Nusra and a coalition of Islamic
groups tries to advance into the capital city.
Three shocking attacks have taken place in Tunisia, Kuwait
and France. [We do not support any violence but we can use
the tools of analysis to help readers understand what is
happening.]
TUNISIA: An ISIS fighter calling himself Abu Yahya
al-Kairawani attacked western tourists sunning themselves on
the famous beaches of Sousse. He killed 39 tourists and
injured 36. Of those killed, 15 are British. The rest are
French, German, Belgian and Irish.
Tunisia's secular government has ordered the closing of 80
mosques in retaliation for the attack, according to the
BBC.
Tunisia's Muslims are key supporters of ISIS. More than 2500
of them are fighting for ISIS in Syria according to western
sources. Strangely the government is secular. It is an
elected government but the election was brought about after
1500 Islamic "suspected" militants were arrested.
A weak Muslim Brotherhood group led by Ghannouchi contested
the elections, was easily defeated with rigging but did not
protest.
Westernized Tunisians are very active in the capital Tunis
and enclaves like Sousse and come out to support the secular
government.
Tunisia has a long history of suppression of Islamic people.
Habib Bourghuiba, the "father" of modern Tunisia openly
flouted Islam by drinking publically in Ramadan. Ben Ali,
who escaped to Saudi Arabia, was worse. Muslim protests were
crushed by military might and women were molested. The
rulers are mentally an extension of France.
The tourism industry funds the ruling class and its
supporters. No one has asked the Tunisian people if the half
naked tourists should be cavorting on the beaches of a
Muslim country. Such behavior in forbidden in Islam. Looks
like the assailant was following Osama bin Laden's teaching
that economic basis of regimes hostile to Islam should be
attacked.
To avoid violence, the government, if it is a legitimate
regime, should ask the people if they want western tourists
and if so how should their behavior be regulated.
Kuwait: For the first time ISIS struck Kuwait by attacking a
Shia mosque. It is an unforgivable act and has rightly
aroused disgust among Muslims.
The question arises, why would a young Muslim become a human
bomber to attack Shia Muslim under the impression that they
are renegades.
It doesn't make sense.
However, if we see the Middle East as one region, a very
clear picture emerges. In Syria, Shia-Alawite regime forces
have destroyed scores of mosques killing thousands of Muslim
worshippers. In fact the very first attempt by Bashar Assad
to crush the Muslims was an attack on the central mosque in
Deraa where Syrian regime forces were air dropped and
slaughtered unarmed protestors. Even the beautiful Ummayad
mosque, a UNESCO protected monument, was hit by Assad's
artillery and one of its outstanding segments
demolished.
Shiite air attacks on mosques are so common in Syria that
congregational prayers in areas controlled by the Islamic
fighters have become very difficult if not impossible.
In Iraq too, Shia forces have attacked numerous mosques and
carried out atrocities INSIDE them. Thus with Syria and Iraq
ongoing war, hard core Islamic groups like ISIS consider the
Shias non-Muslims and hostile forces.
On top of that Kuwaiti shias have set up a media outlet in
London from which they broadcast the most abusive possible
attacks on the Companions of the Prophet, pbuh, and
specially on Ayesha, r.a., who is revered by Muslims. These
broadcasts have been going across the Middle East from
London.
Instead of waiting for ISIS to attack, Shias and Sunnis
should talk to each other and set up a code of honor within
which differences can be expressed.
The trick the western media are playing is that they only
publicize ISIS attacks and NEVER report attacks by the
Shia-Alawite regime in Syria and the Shia regime in Baghdad.
Muslims know that Iran is involved heavily in defending both
the Damascus regime and the one in Baghdad. Iran's treatment
of Sunnis in Baluchistan is unfair and sometimes it spills
out into the media.
In France, near Lyon, a Muslim attacked an American gas and
chemical company. He beheaded his boss and fixed the head on
the railing and then tried to blow up the gas containers,
causing a large explosion but which did not blow up the
whole thing.
It is not yet clear if this was an ISIS attack. It is
bizarre in the extreme. The only answer, only speculation,
would be that it is part of the hatred inspired by France
with its support for blasphemous caricatures of the Prophet
Muhammad, pbuh. France committed a strategic blunder by
supporting insults aimed at the personality dearest to the
Muslims.
The way to peace is apparently by way of respecting Islam
and ending the bombing of Muslims who do not have anti
aircraft defenses.
