Hadith of the Week
Do not beg.
Be patient and seek help with prayer.
[al-Quran]
008.076.477 - To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq) [Sahih
Bukhari]
Narrated Abu Said:
Some people from the Ansar asked Allah's messenger (to give
them something) and he gave to everyone of them, who asked
him, until all that he had was finished. When everything was
finished and he had spent all that was in his hand, he said
to them, '"(Know) that if I have any wealth, I will not
withhold it from you (to keep for somebody else); And (know)
that he who refrains from begging others (or doing
prohibited deeds), Allah will make him contented and not in
need of others; and he who remains patient, Allah will
bestow patience upon him, and he who is satisfied with what
he has, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And there is no
gift better and vast (you may be given) than patience."
[Comment by Kaukab Siddique: The teachings of the Prophet,
pbuh, apply both at individual and international levels.
Muslims should stop begging the World Bank and western
powers and seek to be patient with prayers]

Distribution of info on Paris Attacks and Uncovering
Turkey's Gulen Conspiracy.
On November 27, 2015 after juma' salat a four page document
was given to 85 Muslims at Masjid Nur. Most of them were
from Arab countries and Pakistan. The imam is an old
gentleman from Syria. Over time he seems to have been
influenced by New Trend. He made a very unusual statement
when quoting a hadith from Asma bint Yazeed. He said that
the Prophet, pbuh, did not have a microphone, so Asma, r.a.,
must have been sitting very close to the men to have heard
the hadith.
The four pages distributed were:
Who is Fethullah Gulen and how did he try to undermine
the government of Erdogan, and what is his role in
international conspiracies against Islam?
&
What are the causes of the attacks in Paris? Was it in
retaliation for the bombing of Muslim populations by the
West.?
Hindu doctor's false research in cancer and the damage it
did.
Cucumbers are made up of 95 percent water, making
them an ideal hydrating and cooling food
Cucumbers contain an anti-inflammatory flavonol
called fisetin that appears to play an important role in
your brain health
Cucumbers also contain polyphenols called lignans,
which may help to lower your risk of breast, uterine,
ovarian, and prostate cancers
Cucumber extract helps reduce unwanted inflammation,
in part by inhibiting the activity of pro-inflammatory
enzymes (including cyclo-oxygenase 2, or COX-2)
Cucumbers are low in calories and high in fiber,
which makes them useful for both weight loss and digestive
health
IRAQ KERBALA
Shi'ite Propaganda Tries its Biggest Lie and is Caught.
Attempt to Replace Makka with Karbala Uncovered.
[Arbaeen is the Shi'ite anniversary of 40 days after the
death of Husain,ra, in Karbala]
Real Number of Visitors of the Arbaeen in Karbala.
The following article about the Arbaeen was originally
written in Arabic by Ahmad Al-Hasani, but was translated for
Twelvershia.net. Even though our website does not often deal
with such topics, however, we have made an exception this
time around in order to expose scholars like Mahdi
Modarrassi who is either dishonest to his followers, or is
too gullible for his turban.
The official governmental resources, the Shia Institutions,
and two-faced media and of the Shia Persian Government
proclaim and assure that the number of visitors (to
Karbala'a) in this year's Arbaeen anniversary reached
seventeen million people! Of course, many ignorant people
happily accepted this figure!
Let's take a deep look on these claims logically.
All statistics agree that the Iraqi population is around 29
million (taking into consideration that one million were
killed in military fight from 2003 till now). And when we
take into consideration that three million Iraqi are
refugees outside Iraq, the real number decreases to 26
million. And when we extract the number of non-Muslims, like
Christians, Yazeedis, and Sabians, we reach the number of 25
million Muslim.
Now, let's say, for the sake of argument, that Shias
represent 60% of the Iraqi population and the Sunni's
represent 40%. Actually, let's say the Shias represent 65%
and Sunnis represent 35%; then, this means that the number
of Shias in Iraq is 16.25 million.
Based on this number, there are three categories of Shias
who cannot visit karbala'a on the Arbaeen: Young kids, the
elderly, and sick people. The international figures state
that 38% of Iraqis are under 14 years old; while 3% are
above 64 years old. Thus, we can presume that 15% of the
Shia Iraqis are under 14 meaning that they will not be able
to attend this ceremony. Their number is 2.4 million. The
mothers of these children will not visit the city as they
have to look after them. Hypothetically speaking, there are
two kids under five years old per family, then 1.2 million
women were not able to make it. Let's also assume that 2%
(of Iraqis) are from the elderly, which constitute 325,000
people at least. Furthermore, there is the number of sick
people in hospitals and houses, and the total number is
around 4.5 million Shias who are prevented from attending.
In addition, we have to add a number of 750,000 Shias that
represents the Shias in different security sectors (i.e the
army, police, and other institutions, etc...); this
increases the number to 5.25 million. Also,if we add
pregnant, menstruating, and confined women, then the number
ups to 6 million.
This means that if every adult Shia, capable of walking,
goes to Karbala to celebrate the Arbaeen; the number will be
10.5 million. If we then add a number of 300,000 foreign
Arab visitors, according to the official Iraqi departments;
the total number will be 11 million. Now, where did that
extra six million visitors come from?
As for the hotels, the official resources assure that the
number of hotels that were able to receive clients is 400
hotels.
Hypothetically speaking, the average capacity of each hotel
is 100 people; the overall number is 40,000 people. Where
did the rest go? 50 schools were opened to receive visitors.
Around 500 people in each school, the number is 25,000
people. Let's also assume that 1000 family received visitors
in their own houses; 10 people in each. The number is 10,000
people. The overall number is 75,000 people. Let's say
100,000 visitors had a residence. Where did the other
millions reside?
Regarding the sewage and sanitary drainage, we all know that
Karbala was sunk in water the last time it rained, which
means that the sewage infrastructure has not been
rehabilitated since the toppling of the previous regime.
Let's assume that 17 million people have to urinate three
times per day, and that every individual urinates around one
liter of fluids. That would mean that there is fifty million
liters of fluids that pass by Karbala's sewage every day.
This number is five times more than the amount of water that
passed by the sewage during rainy days. Shall we continue
and discuss the eight million kilograms of other bodily
excrements as well?
Speaking of the ceremonies of the Arbaeen, visitors have to
reside in Karbala in a specific day next to al-Husayn grave
may Allah be pleased with him. The engineer Ibrahim
al-Zoubaydi provided us with an illustrated map in which he
explains, in an intellectual manner, the capacity of the
area that surrounds al-Husayn's grave. We can see, based on
this map, that the total area filled by visitors does not
exceed 500 thousand m2; let's presume that each person needs
a space of 0.5m to stand, let alone lay down, this mean that
this area cannot be filled with more than one million people
if we placed people in rows one after the other. Anyway, we
already know that Karbala is not a plain land, but that it
is settled. This means that this city cannot, in its best
conditions, have capacity for more than 500,000 people from
the visitors who came from outside Karbala to perform the
ceremonies of the Arbaeen visit. Since we haven't seen any
long queues or a large number of crowds in the city's entry
sides because there is no place to stand on near to the
grave, nor have we seen a state of confusion and disturbance
due to the over-crowdedness, then we can say that the real
number of visitors did not reach more than half a million
people.
Let's be more rational please. The entire area of settled
Mecca is 88 km2, while the central area that surrounds the
Mosque is of 6km2. This area is ten times more the area of
Karbala. We all know the crowdedness in Mecca when it
welcomes around two million pilgrims in this area though it
is equipped with a huge number of hotels and apartment
buildings. Now the question is: How can we put 17 million
people in an area that constitutes 1/6th the area of Mecca?
And here, we are not trying to compare Mecca, this holy
city, with any other place on the earth. According to
retired and sick minds only, you can put 100 million people
per 1 m2.
700m x 700m Area of Karbala
The research team of TwelverShia.net has looked into the
booking.com website in order to verify some of the
criticisms mentioned by the author of the article and we
suggest that readers do the same. We have found that Karbala
only has twelve listed properties, while Makkah has 127
listed properties. Furthermore, hotels in Makkah like the
Pullman Zamzam have a total of 1315 rooms for guests, while
the Hotel Karbala Rayhaan, while seems to be the most
popular hotel in Karbala on the website only includes 185
rooms.
BANGLADESH
Vast Crowds Pray and Mourn for Elderly Islamic Leaders being
Executed: Helpless Masses Unable to stop the Regime.
Assault on Islam is now meeting Violent Response from
al-Qaida and IS.
Vast prayer gathering for Ahsan Mujahid, latest victim of
Dhaka regime
Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid of Jamate Islami Bangladesh and
Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury of Bangladesh Nationalist Party
[BNP] were hanged by the Bangladesh regime on November
22.
These executions are part of a long line of hangings of
elderly Islamic leaders, almost all from Jamaate Islami
Bangladesh. All the Islamic leaders went to their deaths
calm and in complete control of their spiritual values right
to the very end.
They are considered martyrs by Bangladeshi Muslims who
turned out in huge numbers for the funerals. Such massive
crowds have not been seen before.
However the masses are unarmed, have been taught to be
peaceful by their leaders and lack training in jihad.
The scholarly and peaceful leader of Jamaate Islami
Bangladesh , Prof, Golam Azam, in his 80s, was kept in
prison by the Dhaka regime till he died in prison.
Young supporters of Jamaate Islami have tried all peaceful
ways to oppose the trail of blood coming from the pro-India
regime in Dhaka. They have rallied, protested, carried out
shut down strikes [hartals], all to no avail. The regime hit
back, leaving 500 young Muslims dead over two years. Earlier
at the start of this year, Jamaate Islami and BNP united to
close down several northern cities. The regime used brute
force to break the peaceful movement and killed about 100
young people. [AFP]
As the Islamic masses are helpless and were led by elderly
middle class people who taught peaceful means, the regime
became emboldened and allowed Hindu/atheist bloggers to
attack Islam in the most abusive ways and finally they
started insulting the Prophet, pbuh, himself.
Muslim bloggers complained to the government about the
blasphemous bloggers. The government arrested some of them
to calm things down but then let them go. The result was
that anti-Islam bloggers abused the Prophet, pbuh, in ways
worse than those adopted by Pamela Geller and Spencer in
America,
In Islam, abuse of the Prophet is considered an act of war
by all Schools of Thought. The Bangladeshi Muslims watched
the Prophet, pbuh, being abused, unable to do anything. This
lack of Islamic resistance created a vacuum which was filled
by al-Qaida after Dr. Al-Zawahiri decided to extend its
message to South Asia.
The top anti-Islam blasphemer, a Hindu American named Ajivit
Roy, was hacked to death by "unknown persons." He had gone
beyond blasphemy by marrying a nominally Muslim woman. A
Hindu marrying a Muslim woman took the situation beyond all
levels of decency. She too was attacked and seriously
wounded.
After that three more bloggers were hacked to death, two of
them Hindus and one nominally a "Muslim."
Hindus have played a central role in the destruction of East
Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh. During the civil
war, India helped arm and train an armed force known as
Mukti Bahini In which Hindus played a central role. This
Bahini slaughtered thousands of Muslims who supported
Pakistan including refugees from the province of Bihar in
India.
Islamic State {IS] also seems to be gaining adherents in
Bangladesh. They are extending the retaliation to all
foreign supporters of the regime. Two months back, a
Japanese aid worker and an Italian were murdered by secret
killers. Another Japanese was seriously injured.
Typical IS violence is also being extended, seemingly, to
what are considered "deviant" Muslims supporting the regime.
A "pir" [sufistic sacred personality], has been murdered.
There have been two attacks on Shias, a miniscule minority
in this cou try. Two Shias were killed and several
injured.
Bangladeshis often see these murders as insignificant
compared to the regime's slaughter of more than 500 young
people and the execution of elderly scholars topped with
insults aimed at the Prophet, pbuh.
The Dhaka regime, feeling secure with India's support, may
not have realized where it is going.
An Invitation to Think, from Br. Badi Ali
A Problem is Not a Problem Till You Make it One.
Before solving a problem, check whether it is the
same problem you have encountered beforehand.
The majority sees the problems; the few see the
solutions.
Do not give up, keep trying - If it doesn't turn out
right, we can modify it as we go along.
Leaders are problem solvers
You cannot solve all your problems at once. Line them
up one-by-one because sometimes, like the domino effect, you
solve one and it will affect the rest.
Whatever failures I have known, whatever errors I
have committed, whatever follies I have witnessed in public
and private life, have been the natural consequences of my
actions, my behaviors and my sins without a doubt.
Life is full of problems - So what? Put your trust in
Allah and do your best.
Problems are opportunities
The problem is not a problem, unless you make it
one.

PAKISTAN
Karachi Issues and Bangladesh Tragedy
(Two great rallies).
Huge Welcome for Sirajul Haq and Imran Khan bringing
Historic Change to Karachi.
KARACHI: November 28: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan leader
Senator Siraj-ul-Haq and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
leader Imran Khan were overwhelmingly welcomed by
Karachiites in a historical turn of the political history of
the city.
Tens of Thousands of people gathered outside the Karachi's
Jinnah airport at Stargate to welcome the leadership of JI
and PTI. After arrival of the political giants, the caravan
started heading towards the centre of the city, while a
large number of people further joined the convoy from
various areas.
Due to the massive turnout, pace of the caravan remained
pretty slow that took more than seven hours to reach the
motorcade at the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali
Jinnah from Stargate. The leaders addressed the caravan at a
couple of spots en-route to their destination.
Addressing the participants of the convoy, JI Amir
Siraj-ul-Haq said that today's reception has already
declared the decision of Karachiites. He said that the city
wants to get rid of the clutches of those forces occupying
the city for several decades with the help of terror, bullet
and atrocities.
He said that the city of lights is wounded and both the JI
and PTI would become the cure for the miseries of the city
residents. He said that the Dec 5 possesses a special and
historical status as people would bury the status quo on the
day through their ballot.
The JI leader said that their history cites that they are
not among those who bow before evil or sell out their
conscience. He added that the establishment should realize
that the power of common men would wipe them out, if they
tried to take sides with the help of the governmental
machinery.
He thanked the youth of Karachi for their overwhelmingly
acceptance for the JI, PTI alliance and their trust.
Haq ensured Karachiites that the JI would provide justice
and rights of the citizens at their doorsteps. He also
promised them for provision of visionary leadership like
that of Abdul Sattar Afghani and Naimatullah Khan.
PTI chief Imran Khan on the occasion warned those in the
corridors of power that choking democratic ways of change in
the society and politics, open the doors of bloody
revolutions.
He said that he is quite sure and confident after their
welcome reception that people of Karachi are extremely
willing to bring a fundamental change in the city.
The PTI leader strongly criticized the government and their
its forces for using unfair, non-democratic and nefarious
tactics to grab powers and plunder the tax payers money. He
alleged that Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has
purchased property in Dubai worth 1400 billion rupees, while
Rs 6 billion of Asif Ali Zardari is also dumped in Swiss
banks but instead of bringing this illegal money back to
their homeland, the corrupt leaders are raising the burden
of taxes on poor masses.
The caravan culminated at the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam,
where activists of both the parties displayed fireworks.
Mass rallies Protest Execution of Jamaate Islami Leaders in
Bangladesh. India has admitted Modi, now PM of India,
himself Participated in Mukti Bahini's Crimes in East
Pakistan.
LAHORE, Nov. 29; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has said that there was no difference between
Bangladesh Prime Minister Hasina Wajid and the rulers in
Islamabad in regard to executions of pro- Pakistan leaders
in Bangladesh.
Hijabi women with their faces covered, sitting in front, are
women leaders of Jamaate Islami Pakistan.Addressing a big
demonstration on the Shahrah e Quid e Azam, to protest
against the oppression of the Dhaka regime, he said the
government of Hasina Wajid was executing the loyalists of
Pakistan while the rulers in this country were silent
spectators on that. A large number of women and children
also attended the rally.
He said that the youth and the aged people of Bangladesh had
sacrificed their lives for this country but the rulers in
Islamabad did not bother to raise this issue with the
international forums that showed their indifference and
their deviation from country's ideology. He said the ruler's
talk of a liberal Pakistan was tantamount to rubbing salt on
the wounds of the martyrs of Kashmir and Bangladesh.
Sirajul Haq said that those who had been executed in
Bangladesh had not been fighting for power. Love of Pakistan
and its ideology was part of their faith and they had
offered their lives for the love of this country.
He said that Pakistan was the second state coming into being
after the state of Madina and its security and service was
the highest form of Jehad, Those who had offered their lives
for the sublime cause were Mujahideen.
Sirajul Haq said that Indian Prime Minister Modi had stated
in Dhaka that he had reached Dhaka from Delhi with the Mukti
Bahini to disintegrate Pakistan. He wondered why the
Pakistani rulers could not approach the international court
of justice against Modi and Hasina Wajid for their violation
of the tripartite agreement in 1971.
He said that the indifference of the Pakistani rulers over
the execution of JI leaders in Bangladesh and the trials of
Prof. Ghulam Azam and others who had bravely faced trials
and hardships in Bangladesh, the present rulers had proved
themselves guilty in the eyes of the nation. Had the
government taken up the matter with the international court
of justice in time, the lives of some of these people could
have been saved. Such a move by the rulers could have proved
the rulers' loyalty to those offering their lives for this
country. He said that because of the rulers' indifference,
as many as 45 people had been announced death sentence while
more than four thousand other people were in jails.
The JI chief strongly condemned President Mamoon Husain's
suggestion to the Ulema to search out a room for interest
and said such a frivolous proposal could not be expected
from an aged man like the President. He said that next time,
some other ruler could seek similar concession for drinking,
and debauchery.
Addressing the gathering, JI Punjab chief Mian Maqsood
Ahmed, expressed the hope that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
and Army Chief Gen. Raheel Sharif would end their silence
over the oppression going on in Bangladesh. He said that
Hasina Wajid was fighting India's war and said that
Islamabad should fight the war of Pakistan and foil the
conspiracies against this country.
He said that in 1971, the Pakistan armed forces and the
people of Pakistan were struggling to save the country and
if that was a crime, the President and the Prime Minister of
Pakistan at that time, were also committing crime, and a
case against them could also be moved in some court any
time.
Deputy Secretary General, JIP, Dr Farid Ahmed Piracha, also
addressed the rally.

Just Punishment: Pollard Was One of Worst Traitors [Jewish
Spy who Damaged US Security being released: Obama-Netanyahoo
sectret deal. ---NT editor]
by Fred Kaplan - Slate
Contrary to claims by [Jonathan] Pollard's supporters, his
punishment has been completely justified; he ranks as one of
the 20th century's most appalling American spies ... Four
retired admirals -- all of whom had served as directors of
U.S. Naval Intelligence - wrote an op-ed for the Washington
Post warning that Pollard's idealistic image was a "clever
public-relations campaign." In fact, they revealed, Pollard
had offered highly classified documents to three other
countries before hitting up Israel ... For more than twelve
years after his arrest, senior Israeli officials told their
American allies that Pollard had been a "rogue" who had no
contact with the Israeli government. Finally, in 1998, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted to President Clinton
that Pollard had been an Israeli agent all along ... See

Tunisia
Where the Arab Spring Began, there is still Deep
conflict....
Tunisia: November 24: A bus in an upscale area of the
capital, Tunis packed with elite presidential guards , was
hit by a martyrdom operator . At least 12 troops were killed
and others injured. The Islamic State, IS, has claimed
responsibility. The attacker has been identified as a 27
year old Tunisian named Hassaoum Abdelli.
[In Tunisia, a westernized elite has been oppressing Muslims
for decades. President Bourghiba, more French than the
French, came on TV to drink during Ramadan. For 40 years Ben
Ali exploited Tunisians, When the people rose up, he was
quickly shifted to Saudi Arabia. So-called elections were
held between the secular elite and secularized "Muslim
Brotherhood" types. Thousands of Islamic people were
arrested to accommodate elections]
[More Tunisians have voluntarily travelled to Syria to join
IS and al-Nusra than from any other country.]
Turkey
Muslim World Thrilled with Turkey's Shoot Down of Russian
Su-24.
Can Pakistan Do Same to US Drones?
by New Trend's Media Monitor.
On November 24, this Turkish pilot [see photo] shot down a
Russian war plane which was on its daily routine of bombing
Muslim villages which have risen against the Alawite tyrant
Bashar Assad.
President Erdogan who has won the hearts of millions by
refusing to back down in front of Russian threats. It's a
heavy price to pay because Russia is imposing sanctions on
Turkey and cutting off Russian tourism to Turkey.
Many Muslim countries have modern weapons and air forces but
they have never dared to shoot down planes infringing on
their territory. The worst case is that of Pakistan where US
drones almost casually attack Islamic villages which include
mosques and medressas.
In fact Pakistanis do the same kind of bombing against
Muslims who do not have the weaponry to bring down the
assailants. These "strikes" are not very different from what
Israel has been doing against the Palestinians and Bashar
Assad against the Syrian people.
Not only was the Russian bomber shot down, its pilot was
killed by Turkmen Mjuslims as he floated down. Murderers
should be punished.
Even better, the Turkmen mujahideen fired at a low flying
Russian helicopter which was searching for the second pilot.
The helicopter caught fire and exploded killing its pilot.
Syria
Serious Setbacks for Assad-Iran-Shi'ite Militias Despite
Russian Bombing. Air Attacks on Raqqa, Capital of
Caliphate, by Russia, America and Alawite Air Force. Oil
transports wiped out.
Breaking News: November 29: The Russian air force bombed a
market in Ariha [Idlib province] while people were buying
groceries. By last reports 44 civilians were killed and 50
wounded. [Al Jazeera] Idlib province abuts Latakia
province.]
November 23-29: It's been a bad week for the anti-mujahideen
forces. Here is a summary of 4 frontlines compiled from SOHR
and various wire services:
Al-Nusra and allied fighters have retaken the town and
villages south of Aleppo which Iran-Hizbullah and Shiite
militias had taken. Heavy Iranian losses are reported.
Several Hizbullah tanks were hit by TOW missiles probably
received by the fighters via Turkey.
Islamic State, IS, has beaten back the Shi'ite offensive
which had reached al-Kweris air base east of Aleppo.
Hizbullah's losses are not known but Assad's forces lost 24
killed including a colonel and 2 captains whose funerals
were held in Tartous on November 28.
In northern Latakia, the Alawite heartland, Assad's
forces as well as the mujahideen have suffered losses as
al-Nusra and Turkestan Islamic movement are advancing again.
Round the clock bombing by Russia but with little effect as
these are mountain areas with thick forests.
Assad's forces see FSA as an imminent threat advancing on
Damascus from Darayya in the south. Assad's helicopters have
dropped 50 barrel bombs to stop this advance. Heavy fighting
is going on around Damascus. Also, east of Homs and Hama,
FSA and Assad's forces are locked in combat.
Fighting has slowed down in the north east as the Communist
Kurds could not advance although a force of secularist
Syrians [known as SDF] has joined them, owing to stiff IS
resistance.
American air force is very active and has destroyed more
than 240 vehicles which IS uses to transport the oil it
sells.
PALESTINE
Two Teenage Girls Murdered by Israelis. False allegations by
Israeli Media.
Two Palestinian teenage girls have been shot dead during
alleged attack by Israeli Police in the occupied West Bank
and West Jerusalem.
The incident happened near Mahane Yehuda, a popular outdoor
market in downtown Jerusalem and caused a panicked scene in
the busy area. Purported CCTV footage of the incident showed
that the two teenagers were carrying scissors at the time
they were shot dead.
Hadeel Awwad, 16, was shot dead by an Israeli security
guard, while her 14-year-old cousin Norhan Awwad was
seriously wounded during an alleged stabbing incident.
Israeli media alleged that the two girl stabbed a Israeli
man with scissors.
Hadeel Awad's elder brother was killed two years ago by
Israelis, according to the Middle East Eye."Rather than
seeking revenge, Hadeel responded to the tragedy by deciding
to become a doctor, said Hadeel sister".
"The school principal called the house and said Hadeel and
Norhan didn't show up at school. And I said, No, they left
the house, they went to school,'" Maleeha recalled. "After a
while, we heard there was an attack in Jerusalem."
The youngest sibling among 16, Hadeel was a strong student
and recently came first in her school term, scoring an
average of 94 percent in her classes. Quiet and headstrong,
Hadeel was ambitious, focused and driven, her relatives
said. Menal, who often spent Fridays with Hadeel, said that
last week she seemed like a happy, funny teenager.
Hadeel teacher says, "She was not poor. She was not very
political. She did not want to end her life. She was happy;
she was a good student. There's no explanation for the claim
of Israeli Media that she tried to stabbed a man".
All student at her School paid tribute to Hadeel. "May she
rest in peace," the girls whispered. Some wiped away tears.
On the walls in Qalandia refugee camp, local children have
plastered posters of Hadeel Awad. The footage has troubled
the Awad family, who believe that the armed men used
excessive force against the teenagers.
