On Nigeria, New Trend was right again. Horrific crimes are
being committed by the Nigerian military against civilians
supporting Boko Haram.
Since last year, 7000 civilians have died in Nigerian
military's detention centers.
The latest report, May 11, from Amnesty International is
about the death of babies and children in the prisons of the
Nigerian army.
In the meantime, the western powers today are meeting under
UN auspices to support the Nigerian military neven more. The
Nigerian ruler, Buhari, has been visiting England.
This suffering of Nigerian children is too much. Please keep
your children away from this report.
SCROLL WAY DOWN.
Hadith of the Week
Sharing Food and Necessities.
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: I heard Allah' s Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as saying: food for one person suffices
two persons and food for two persons suffices four persons,
and food for four persons suffices eight persons;
(Sahih Muslim: Book #023, Hadith #5109)
Comment by Kaukab Siddique: Waste of food is part of the
shame of the way of life in America. Around the world,
millions do not have food or have too little. Even in
America there is hunger. Please cut down on what we eat and
give the extra to the needy.Our Jamaat sister is in Ethiopia
feeding the poor. Let us try to help. Our brother is helping
in Ghana and centrally we are reaching out to students in
Gambia and Uganda.

Free Yourself From Netflix: An Invitation to Think.
Nowadays digital entertainment is everywhere
Digital addiction has become such a reality that it
robs us of our precious time
The industry of Netflix did not exist 50 years ago;
yet today, two generations cannot imagine a lifestyle
without it
Technology is evolving rapidly yet we seem to get
lazier
Use the limited and precious time that you were given
by filling your mind with knowledge, wisdom and skills
Are you making the most out of your time? Or are you
wasting it on these digital illusions?
To experience the enjoyment as well as meaning and purpose of this life for which we were created, we have to
switch off the screen and redeem the time.

Motiur Rahman Nizami [Shaheed] the Syed Qutb of our Times:
Dhaka Regime trying to Crush Islam.
"A Terrible Beauty is Born." [Yeats].
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
The top leader of the peaceful Islamic movement known as
Jamaate Islami Bangladesh has been executed.
Appeals from human rights groups around the world could not
dissuade Hasina Wajed, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh
could not dissuade the regime from stopping the
execution.
Crowds of people gathered for his funeral to pray and mourn.
Their sheer numbers indicate that the Dhaka regime has made
a strategic blunder in executing a man who was no threat to
the regime and was involved in prayer, zikr, meditation and
thoughts about helping the needy and the poor. The regime
has given a symbol of Islamic leadership to the people,
somewhat like Husayn ibn Ali, r.a
On the other side there are thousands of Bangla
nationalists, Hindus and seculars who believe the government
propaganda that Nizami was involved in genocide of the
supporters of Bangladesh.
Both sides agree on one fact: Nizami supported Pakistan as
an Islamic ideology.
East Pakistan and West Pakistan were separated by 1000 miles
of India. Their culture and languages were different. Their
bedrock of unity was Islam. Gradually the uniting factor of
Islam was whittled down. The West Pakistani attitude was
that of cultural superiority and, sadly, religious
superiority. {West} Pakistan helped the east by giving
importance to the Bangla language and by investing in the
East Pakistani infrastructure but not spiritually or
emotionally.
Bengalis are an emotional people. For them love,
brotherhood-sisterhood and respect is more important than
funds and investments. West Pakistan failed to provide these
spiritual needs of unity.
Secularists, Hindus and separatists played on and inflamed
the emotions of the people. The turning point was when West
Pakistani leadership decided not to accept East Pakistan's
election victory. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was key to this
non-acceptance of East Pakistan's victory. As a result there
was widespread agitation in East Pakistan with ongoing
clashes with police and security forces.
This sense of grievance spiraled into separatism. The army
was called in to crush the agitators. The army had no
understanding of Bengali culture and started behaving like
the US army did decades later in Iraq. The army's atrocities
incited counter violence. By this time Indian infiltrators
were coming and working with the Bengali nationalists to
destroy East Pakistan. Any non-Bengali, particularly Muslim
refugees from India known as Biharis, was targeted. The
Bengali nationalists massacred Biharis, easy targets as they
were.
This is where Motiur Rahman Nizami chose to stand against
Indian entrance into East Pakistan and to oppose Bengali
secularists. He urged the people to stand firm against
anti-Islamic forces which had emerged in the shape of a
terrorist organization known as Mukti Bahini.
The Pakistani army could not continue to fight against
Bengalis and India, on two fronts. Cut off from its base in
West Pakistan and owing to the incoherence of Pakistan's
General Yahya Khan who was a drunkard, the army surrendered
to the Indian army which had invaded openly to destroy
Pakistan.
The Pakistani army surrendered without telling its Bengali
supporters like Nizami that it intended to give in.
East Pakistan became Bangladesh.
For a few years Jamaate Islami was excluded from the
national discourse . However, the Bengali separatist leader
Mujibur was killed by his own people. A national process of
reconciliation was in place. A nationalist government took
over and accepted Jamaate Islami as political partners.
Nizami's viewpoint was that instead of continuing the
internal conflict, the Jamaat should join the process of
reconciliation and reconstruction. The people of Bangladesh
realized that they had a dangerous and fatal "friend" next
door: India. Nizami and Jamaate Islami became popular again.
He was not only elected but became a minister in the
nationalist government of Khalida Zia, an opponent of Hasina
Wajed, Mujibur Rahman's daughter.
Hasina Wajed and the secularist and Hindu elements
coalesced. There are more than 10 million Hindus in
Bangladesh with strong links to India next door. Hasina got
the "brilliant" idea of gaining public support by bringing
back the suffering of the people at the hands of the
Pakistani army. A Zionist Jewish woman living in New York
cooked up the claim that ONE MILLION people had been killed
by the Pakistani army: That was genocide.
The Pakistani army was no longer there, so the Bengalis who
had supported Pakistan became scapegoats. Among them was
Motiur Rahman. Show trials were held to depict Jamaate
Islami leaders as criminals. These trials were a mockery of
justice. Just take these main absurdities of those courts
trying the Islamic leaders:
The supposed "crimes" could not have been against
Bangladesh because there was no Bangladesh at that time.
The trials were started 40 years after the war. No
witnesses can be reliable after 40 years. Most of the
"witnesses" had died of old age or moved to India or simply
could not be located. Hence the witnesses had to be
fabricated and paid for.
The number of deaths were exaggerated to an extreme
degree. No scientific study or even a national survey has
been carried out to determine the figures. In addition, the
regime is ignoring the massacres of "Bihari" Muslims who
were killed mostly on the basis of racism and sometimes
because they helped the army.
In that context Jamaat e Islami Bangladesh leaders are being
sentenced to death one by one. Nizami is only the latest and
the most important.
Unforeseen Consequences:
Owing to the total helplessness of the Muslims of
Bangladesh, al-Qaida and the Islamic State, who teach
retaliation, are slowly but steadily gaining support in
Bangladesh.
The regime was allowing bloggers to attack Islam and
blaspheme the Prophet, pbuh. The feeling in the regime seems
to have been, if no one can stop us from hanging spiritual
leaders who have harmed no one, why not try to undermine
Islam itself.
A number of bloggers, including homosexuals working with the
US embassy, have been hacked to death probably by al-Qaida.
One of the leading blasphemers killed was a Hindu
American.
al-Jannah, inshaAllah!
Motiur Rahman Nizami was a man of Allah. He harmed no one
and was trying to focus on helping the deprived people of
Bangladesh. When he refused to give up his ideological
support for Pakistan, he was hanged. He was indeed a man of
great moral and spiritual courage. InshaAllah he will meet
Syed Qutb in paradise who likewise refused to accept tyranny
and treachery..
My advice:
Reach out to the Muslims of Bangladesh. Stop the blame game.
The masses are for Islam and in essence love Pakistan: the
Islamic Pakistan which was meant to be.
Thank You Turkey: Thank you Erdogan

Turkish Foreign Ministry has summoned Turkey's ambassador to
Bangladesh to report to Ankara for consultations in the
aftermath of the hanging of a senior Jamaat-e-Islami party
leader in Dhaka, an unnamed diplomatic source said May 12.
According to the diplomatic source, who spoke on condition
of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking with the media,
Turkish Ambassador Devrim Öztürk is expected to arrive in
Ankara on May 12.
On May 11, the Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a written
statement strongly condemning the execution of Motiur Rahman
Nizami.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also condemned the
execution of Nizami, while demonstrators in Ankara and
Istanbul protested against Nizami's execution.
"I condemn the mentality that sentences to death a mujahid,
who is over the age of 70 and who we believe has no earthly
sin. I think that such proliferation of hatred there, and
the ordering of such death sentences despite our repeated
initiatives, is neither fair governance nor a democratic
mentality," said Erdoğan May 10.

Jihad Jane: A Special Trip To Visit an Islamic Woman in
Prison who Threatened Cartoonists of Prophet Muhammad, Pbuh.
by Sis. Karin Friedemann [Boston]
On Saturday, May 7, 2016 I traveled to Tallahassee,
Florida's Federal Correctional Institution to visit Colleen
"Fatima" LaRose, also known as "Jihad Jane." She was
sentenced to ten years for conspiracy to commit murder
overseas, for her role in a 2009 failed plot to kill Lars
Vilks, the Swedish cartoonist who mocked the Prophet
Mohammad (pbuh). She spent four years in solitary
confinement but now resides in general population in a unit
containing 60 women.
Fatima was very surprised to see me, as she has not been
receiving any mail for two months, ever since I sent her the
article I wrote about her for New Trend. Oddly enough, the
prison counselor never received my visitor request form in
the mail either. Thankfully, he was very kind and expedited
the approval process after I overnighted him a second form.
Fatima has not received a visitor in years. She greeted me
warmly with a long, tight embrace. The 52 year old convert
to Islam wore a khaki prison suit with a white hijab. She
was in good spirits and seems to be well-liked by the guards
and the co-prisoners. The guard had joked to her laughingly,
"Are you gonna behead me?" She calls the other women, most
of whom are much younger than herself, "my babies." "I never
had children before I came to prison," she laughs.
We shared a delightful 1 ½ hour visit eating cookies and
drinking soda from the vending machine in a visiting room
full of families sitting at round tables. There were also
tables outside in the courtyard, but Fatima preferred to
stay in the air conditioning. She had me cracking up,
telling me a lot of funny stories about life in prison. For
example, she likes to sneak food from the kitchen. One time
she had a bra full of eggs and another inmate came up to her
and gave her a big hug! She was later caught bringing a
tomato to a cellmate, and lost her kitchen job. She is now
relegated to the dishroom but occasionally sneaks into the
kitchen to help her friends cook.
She spoke of her admiration for Br. Osama bin Laden. "You
can see from his face that there is a light about him." She
does not believe the news about Osama being killed by US
forces and dumped into the sea. She hopes that he is still
alive somewhere. I mentioned to her that he is likely to
have died from kidney failure. Regarding 9/11, she said,
"Osama explained to the Jews and them that the Muslims don't
want your western ways and you need to get your troops out
of our lands. He told them again and again. They were
forewarned." She listens to the news and continues to be
very interested in ongoing developments such as ISIS.
"I want to support them," she said, "But I think they've
gone too far, burning that guy alive." I explained to her
what I had learned from New Trend, that the man was a
fighter pilot whose plane had gone down after he had
firebombed people. "Oh, I never knew that!" she exclaimed.
"In that case, he deserved it."
She said there are about 15 Muslim sisters in her prison,
who attend jummah prayers. She is the only one keeping
hijab. "They all call it 'high-jab!'" she laughs in her
charming southern accent. She wears a black hijab to work
and the white one other times.
Fatima has a very sunny disposition, she is energetic and
friendly to everyone and seems to be respected and loved by
the women in her unit. She has found a way to bridge the gap
between Muslims and non-Muslims by staunchly refusing to
back down from her own beliefs and values at the same time
as graciously and lovingly accepting other people for who
they choose to be - one of her favorite people to socialize
with is a Spanish-speaking religious Jew who is also
transgender. She introduced me to a pretty young black woman
passing by. "Her husband is my baby." The "husband,"
Fatima's cellmate, is injecting male hormones and growing a
beard.
"There's a lot of that going on in here!" she whispers,
laughing cheerfully at the juicy gossip.
Fatima, who is expected to be released in Pennsylvania in
2018, is looking forward to becoming a part of a real Muslim
community. Her interaction with the Ummah was almost
entirely online. Fatima had become obsessed with jihad after
learning about the situation in Palestine.
Fatima said people often asked her if she will do anything
jihad-related again, once she is released but she says no.
"They are not going to ask me to do anything else. I have
already proved myself," she said of her mentors, whom she
believes to be with al Qaeda. "I was very honored as a woman
to be chosen for a mission. Usually they give those kinds of
jobs to the brothers. I don't like that I'm in prison, but
it's not that bad." She has always been very patient with
the decision of Allah, even when she was in the Special
Housing Unit (SHU) in solitary.
Regardless of what one believes about her choice of action,
it says a lot about her character that she was willing to
sacrifice herself in order to stand up for her brothers and
sisters around the world, that she had never met, who had
done nothing for her. Fatima's future plan upon release is
to grow flowers and vegetables. For now, she is looking
forward to fasting for Ramadan.

Commander-in-Chief Of Hizbullah in Syria killed in
Mujaheddin Attack. Serious blow & Diversionary Rumors.
Hizbullah has had 1200 killed since it intervened
Breaking News: On May 14, Hizbullah admitted that its top
commander was killed in an attack by "takfiris" This term
is used by the Shias for mujahedin. The Islamic groups
consider those who fight on behalf of Bashar Assad and the
western powers as kafir; hence the term takfiri.]
On May 12, a large explosion said to be on the outskirts of
Damascus airport killed Mustafa Bedreddinne, the top
commander of Hizbullah [Lebanese] forces in Syria.
[Mujahedine of FSA say he was probably killed during the
heavy fighting around Damascus.]
He was buried in Beirut on May 13, with a large Shia crowd
in attendance.
This is probably the most serious blow suffered by Hizbullah
in its attempts to defend the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
When Assad's regime was near collapse, Hizbullah sent in
thousands of its well trained troops into Syria. They have
been heavily involved in the fighting against the Islamic
factions. Recently their advance on Aleppo was thwarted by
mujahedin of al-Nusra front supported by Turkistani and
Uzbek fighters.
According to the Guardian an estimated 900 Hizbullah
fighters have been killed in the battles in Syria.
al-Jazeerah says about 1200 Hizbullah killed. Hizbullah's
base in Lebanon has been shaken by such heavy losses.
As soon as the first reports of the death of Bedreddinne
came in, Meyeadin TV which supports Hizbullah claimed that
he had been killed in an Israeli air strike. However, the
report could not be supported and the TV channel has removed
it.
Hizbullah is now saying that it is investigating the
commander's death and will report after it has found out
what happened.
[New Trend observers say that Hizbullah habitually ties its
commanders' losses to Israel to make its slain look like
martyrs. Hizbullah's Lebanon border with Israel has seen
only a couple of clashes during the five years of the
conflict in Syria. Neither Iran nor Hizbullah have directed
their fire at Israel although they work closely with the
Bashar Assad regime which has garrisons abutting the Israeli
frontier [occupied territories].

Children dying in Nigeria military detention: Amnesty
Babies and children have died in squalid conditions in
detention centre holding Boko Haram suspects, rights group
says.
Babies and children have died in squalid conditions in a
military detention centre in northeast Nigeria, where
suspected Boko Haram members are being held, often without
any evidence, according to an Amnesty International
report.
The UK-based human rights group said 149 people, including
at least 12 children and babies, have died in the Giwa
barracks, the main military prison in Maiduguri, because of
appalling and unsanitary conditions, since the beginning of
this year.
The Nigerian military dumps bodies of detainees who died in
the barracks in the Gwange cemetery nearby, Amnesty
said.
Thousands of Boko Haram gunmen and suspected fighters have
been detained in the Giwa barracks since the battle between
the armed group and the Nigerian army began six years
ago.
In its report, Amnesty said evidence gathered through
interviews with former detainees and witnesses, and
supported by video and photographs, shows that many
detainees may have died from disease, hunger, dehydration
and gunshot wounds.
"We've spoken to former inmates. They've given us eyewitness
accounts of seeing children dying in detention," Colm O
Cuanachain, a senior official with Amnesty International,
told Al Jazeera.
"Overcrowding and the conditions there were clearly
contributing to a situation where children were dying," he
said.
The Nigerian military says that most of the detainees in
Giwa are "terror suspects".
But Amnesty said that more than 120 of the 1,200 detainees
currently being held in the facility are children, some as
young as five.
"Many of the young children were detained when their mothers
were arrested, while others were born in detention," the
group says in its report.
Amnesty also said operations by the Nigerian military
against Boko Haram have led to thousands of people being
arbitrarily rounded up, arrested, and thrown into Giwa
barracks with no evidence against them. Earlier this year
soldiers released 50 children.
"The Nigerian government and military forces are determined
to destroy Boko Haram and prosecute its fighters," said Al
Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from the capital
Abuja.
"Some Nigerians fear that deaths of innocent people,
including children, are an inevitable consequence of the
violence.
"This is not the first time concerns have been raised about
Giwa barracks. A report from June last year said in the past
five years, 7,000 detainees died from starvation, thirst,
disease and torture while in military detention."
Al Jazeera approached the Nigerian military and government
for comment without getting a response.
Our America:
Attempts To Defeat North Carolina Law Controlling
Transgender Moves to enter wrong Bathrooms. Homo Movement in
Action.
by Sis. Aisha [Jamaat al-Muslimeen.]
New York City - As expected there have been protests and
lawsuits filed to stop the North Carolina law from taking
root in that state. The law basically states that you must
use the men's bathroom, if you have male genitalia and use
the women's bathroom, if you have female genitalia. The
Unbelievers, as usual, are taking swift action to overwhelm
any level of morality, no matter how small, to promote their
illogical lifestyle.
Just as Imam Talib, of Harlem's Masjid Malcolm Shabazz,
stated, you cannot reason with an illogical person. The
only thing you can say is, "to you be your way and to me be
mine." (Surat-al Kaafiruun 109). But, when people promote
lies, Imam Talib said that it is our duty as Muslims to
speak against those lies. This is a God-given and
Constitutional right!
My niece attends College in Long Island and went to use the
women's bathroom before class. However, when she walked
inside, she saw a male student wearing a dress in the
bathroom. She walked out never using it. The very next
time she saw this young "man", he was dressed as a real man!
So, these people are playing games with society. They go
from one whim to another and expect us to accommodate
them!
As Muslims, we must push back, not try to understand these
people's illogical, bass-ackwards lifestyle. Gender
Identity Disorder has been diagnosed by psychiatrists and
physicians who see that people have developed stress
associated with the sex that Allah assigned them at birth.
Research is still not clear but, there are claims the
distress can be mental and a biological issue related to
genetics. As with homosexuality, there is a push to
declassify Gender Identity Disorder as a disorder. Now, you
have gender expression and support of it using hormone
therapy, which usually includes a psychological evaluation
but, it is optional. However, if they want the sex-change
operation surgery they still need a psychological
evaluation.
Most of the disdain people may have toward their assigned
sex is usually based on behavioral influences. Gender roles
and limitations put on them by society can affect how people
view their sex. Many boys' self-esteem increases as they
grow older while a girl's decreases. Women in American
society are not valued as whole human beings. Yes, there are
women who hate themselves because of male chauvinism.
However, with all of the push for unisex clothes, roles, and
facilities apart of the queer movement USA. There are only
0.05% of people in many parts of the world who identify as
transgender. So, why such a push for such a very small
minority?
This is truly a domino effect in that push for homosexual
and queer rights, along with declassifying these behaviors
as mental disorders, will certainly lead to declassifying
other forms of immorality as disorders. There are
bestiality and pedophile organizations that have tried to
lobby Congress to legalize their immoral behaviors for
years. Please, do not believe this will not happen. Vice
President Joe Biden already thanked Hollywood Jews for their
support of the homosexual agenda. All it takes is a weekly
documentary series to come on television promoting an
"understanding" of their "alternative" choices for sex
partners. They will be seen less as predators are portrayed
as a misunderstood group just the homosexuals were.
WE need to WAKE UP! All of this is a litmus test for
society! They have asked the American people about
homosexual marriage and people spoke and voted against it in
California and the rest of the country. Then, the
promosexuals decided to go through the courts to legalize
gay marriage. They have done the same thing with Pres.
Obama signing this transgender bill that forces public
schools to allows boys dressed up as girls to use girls
bathrooms and vice versa.
Using presidential signatures and the Supreme Court has been
the tool of the nefarious. Muslims must fight for their own
community, first, then others can follow suit. For some
reason, Americans stop fighting when the Supreme Court makes
a ruling. WE the people do not have to agree nor follow
their decisions. In a civilized, fair society, the people
always get the last word.
