Why is America facing Allah's Displeasure?
On October 13 at Masjid Rahma in suburban Maryland, a five
page document was given to 103 Muslims.
Here is an outline of the document:

Muslim Political Prisoners in USA
The Agony of our Ummah. The best are treated as if they are
the Worst.
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
Sis. Ayesha and Br. Ali Randall have done a great job of
highlighting the identities of Muslim political prisoners in
the American gulag.
Once Muslims are sentenced, they disappear from existence in
the Muslim community.
Nadrat Siddique recently noted via Sis. Ayesha that Tarq
elHassan has died in prison. This Sudanese prisoner was
sentenced with flimsy or no evidence and died after 22 years
in prison, The US media simply ignored him.
If a Sudanese had died in any other country's prison, the
media would have been screaming "racism."
Before that Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman died in prison. He was an
opponent of the tyrant Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. He was
blind. Imagine a top notch Islamic scholar being sentenced
to life in prison on the word of a Zionist Jewish judge
Michael Mukasey and a Muslim traitor Siraj Wahhaj hiding his
hypocrisy behind a big beard [the darling of regime
connected groups like ISNA and ICNA].
Imagine the horror of the death of this great scholar of
Islam who spoke no English and whose captors spoke no
Arabic. A slow, lonely death which he faced with
uncompromising faith in the Creator.
Then you have Imam Jamil al-Amin, top imam of America
particularly the African American community. His health has
been destroyed and he has been victimized through endless
solitary confinement. His faith in Allah and his love of the
Sunnah has few equals, the Malcolm X of our times; hence he
has been moved to Arizona, keeping him as far away as
possible from his family, his community and his support
base.
Most bizarre is the life imprisonment given to Dr. Aafia
Siddiqui, A highly educated woman who has never harmed
anyone in the slightest was accused of terrorism on the
unsupported word of an American soldier. The American system
insists on cavity searches of prisoners, a form of rape, so
she does not accdept visitors even though there are hardly
any. The Pakistani regime too has played a dastardly role
against Aafia in cahoots with the US regime.
Think of Masoud Khan. What did he do? He opposed the Indian
occupation of Kashmir in a symbolic way. He has never harmed
ayone in his life. An informant testified against him and he
was given life in prison. Appeals to Obama, who was
pardoning hardened criiminals, failed.
Look at Tarek el-Mehenna. Did he do anything against the
power structure? Not in the least. If he were a non-Muslim
he would be considered a coscientious objector.
Look at Shifa Sadequee who went to his home in Bangladesh to
get married.
Even the Supreme Court of Bangladesh ruled that Shifa had
not committed any crime. Yet the US keeps him in prison.
Then there is Ziyad Yaghi. He too went home to Palestine to
get married and that was proclaimed by American "justice" as
a code for terrorism.
I could go on.
I urge the US govdernment to release all Muslim political
prisoners. Painting them as "terrorists" has fooled nobody.
Their families are suffering.
I urge the Muslims of America to STAND UNITED for the
freedom of all political prisoners. You don't have to agree
with their politics. As Muslims they are an indivisable part
of the Muslim ummah.
An Invitation to Think
from Dr. Wilmer Leon
The Reality behind the Myths Perpetuated by White
Supremacists from Columbus to Charlottesville
By
Dr. Wilmer J. Leon, III
"Time catches up with kingdoms and crushes them, gets it
teeth into doctrines and rends them; time reveals the
foundations on which any kingdom rests, and eats at those
foundations, and it destroys doctrines by proving them to be
untrue." James Baldwin The Fire Next Time
America, the international global hegemon, the empire -
finds itself conflicted. At the crux of this conflict is the
fact that for as noble as its founding pretexts are,
"...that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." the "grand
experiment" of American or Jeffersonian democracy was
actually founded on the myth of racism/White Supremacy.
Americans, both White and Black have been indoctrinated to
believe in the false social construct of race and the false
narratives that White's - Europeans and European Americans
are superior to all others in the world, Manifest Destiny
and American Exceptionalism.
So, what we are seeing today play itself out with the
Columbus myth, Trump, Charlottesville, DACA and the
Dreamers, the Muslim ban and the NFL fiasco, etc. is America
being forced to face up to the conflict between its founding
principles and its racist reality. Time is catching up to
these doctrines and proving them to be untrue.
The late great Dr. Francis Cress Welsing defined
racism/White Supremacy as, "The local and global power
system structured and maintained by persons who classify
themselves as White, whether consciously or subconsciously
determined. This system consists of patterns of perception,
logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action and
emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas
of activity (economics, education, law, etc.)."
I will use 2 examples to support the position that the grand
experiment of American or Jeffersonian democracy was founded
on the myth of racism/White Supremacy.
The Virginia Slave Code Act I 1669, "Be it enacted...if
any slave resist his master...and by the extremity of the
correction should chance to die, that his death shall not be
acompted felony, but the master...be acquit from
molestation, since it cannot be presumed that prepense
malice...should induce any man to destroy his own estate."
This is the first example that I found where we were
relegated to property or what Amiri Baraka called
"thingness".
13th Amendment to the Constitution - Section 1. "Neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment
for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted,
shall exist within the United States, or any place subject
to their jurisdiction." This led to the implementation of
the convict leasing system as a replacement for slavery.
This is brilliantly documented by Douglas Blackmon in his
book Slavery By Another Name.
October 9th is the day that Americans traditionally
celebrate as Columbus Day. According to Steve Kurtz, from
Fox News.com, "Columbus Day... is a nationally recognized
holiday...It is true that the conquest of the Americas by
Europeans, which starts with Columbus, was very ugly, and
involved a lot of violence. But that, for better or worse,
is how history worked pretty much everywhere for thousands
of years. (Though it should be noted a large portion of the
deaths of Native Americans was due to disease, not
violence--an inevitable consequence of Old World illness in
New World soil...) ...The point is not to excuse the worst
that happened, but to understand it. And to see that it is
not the essence of Columbus, but rather part of the times.
With all that, there are reasons to celebrate Columbus
Day."
Now, if that's not Eurocentricnonsense I don't know what is.
According to the LA Times, "Columbus' landfall ushered in
one of the greatest injustices in human history: the
wholesale transfer of wealth and lands from native peoples
to Europeans; the unprecedented depopulation of vast swaths
of the Americas as European diseases reduced native
populations by 90%..." From the Eurocentric perspective
violent history is celebrated, the death, destruction, rape,
slavery and other atrocities committed by Columbus are
ignored and he is deified because history is written from
the perspective of the victor. That's why it's called
"his-story".
This racist logic, this White Supremacist narrative that is
clearly articulated in Kurtz's rational for honoring
Columbus is the same narrative used by Sons and Daughters of
the Confederacy, neo-Confederates and neo-Nazi's supporting
the terrorist statutes from the Civil War as paragons of
virtue. In this instance it is not that the South won the
Civil War. Their racism compels them to protect their
whiteness, history and heritage. Their narrative tells us
that the statues are supposed to help us understand context
and the dynamics of what was happening at the time from
their perspective. But, like the Columbus lie, the story is
told from the perspective of the oppressor, not the
oppressed. They simply want to maintain some semblance of
the myth of White Supremacy.
One very simple question, how could Columbus "discover"
something when the Arawak people were already there? They
are some of the indigenous peoples of the West Indies that
Columbus first encountered not "discovered". That
"discovery" lie is the blindness that attends arrogance.
That's the ignorance born out of the false narrative of
white-Eurocentric supremacy. I discovered you! Columbus was
late, real late, centuries late to the party.
Now to support this ignorance, Kurtz writes, "While there is
only limited knowledge of what pre-Columbus America was
like..." Really? Try telling Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, author of
They Came Before Columbus that his lifetime of work on Olmec
civilization in the Americas is limited knowledge. Try
telling Dr. Ben, John Henrick Clark, Chancellor Williams and
the host of other Black scholars on this history that their
life's work and research is limited knowledge. Kurtz is like
Columbus - just because he refuses to recognize it, it must
be "limited knowledge" and research.
Kurtz wrote, "While there is plenty to criticize about
Columbus...I think this movement (Indigenous People's Day)
is missing the point...History, in fact, is the story of
conquest. We may not like it, but it's our shared heritage."
No sir, that's the Eurocentric historical perspective...not
all historical perspectives begin and end with, we came, we
saw, we kicked your butt. That's the basis of the same lie
being told by those who want to fly the Stars and Bars and
commemorate the Confederate Generals. They continuously tell
us "it's our shared heritage... The point is not to excuse
the worst that happened, but to understand it." Here's the
reality, those neo-Confederates who want to "celebrate their
heritage" and "commemorate their ancestors" are celebrating
treason and commemorating racists and traitors. Where's the
honor in that?
Most of the post-Civil War statues that were erected in
Virginia and Louisiana and other Southern States were not
erected to commemorate Confederate Generals. Most of the
statues in question were erected as acts of intimidation to
terrorize African Americans and show unified opposition to
the movement towards civil rights; not to honor dead
"heroes". In fact, Robert E. Lee opposed Confederate
memorials. He wrote in 1869, "I think it wiser...not to keep
open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those
nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil
strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered." Lee
eventually swore allegiance to the Union and publicly
decried southern separatism, whether militant or symbolic.
These neo-confederates want to honor a man who did not want
to be honored.
So, what we see with the narrative of the Charlottesville
race riot and Trump saying that there were good people on
both sides is as Dr. Welsing clearly articulated. It is a
narrative developed through and supported by patterns of
perception, logic (The Lost Cause for example), symbol
formation (The flying of the Stars and Bars and these
statutes), thought, speech, action (glorifying Columbus w/ a
holiday) and emotional response (the Charlottesville riot).
It is a White Supremacist narrative that goes all the way
back to the Columbus myth and a last-ditch effort by those
in 2017 like Steve Kurtz who desperately try to defend the
indefensible.
Finality of Prophethood foundation of Pakistan, now under
attack by pro-West Rulers.
by Ameer al-Azeem & Qaiser Sharif
LAHORE, Oct. 14; Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator
Sirajul Haq, has said that the abolition of the Khatm e
Nabuwwat oath from the electoral law was not a clerical
mistake, it was a well thought out conspiracy but the rulers
were trying to hide those responsible for the move.
Addressing a big public meeting at Mansehra on Saturday, he
said that the rulers were biased towards Islam and they were
more dangerous than the US or India. He said that the ousted
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had been working on the agenda
to make the country's constitution controversial and had
been raising the slogan of liberalism and secularism and
trying to undermine the country's ideology. He said that
Nawaz Sharif came to power many a time but he was never
faithful to the country or the nation.
The JI chief demanded that Punjab Law Minister Rana
Sanaullah should be relieved of his present portfolio for
terming the Qadyanis as his brothers as people like him
could not be loyal to the country.
He said that the British had left the country seventy years
ago but the English law was still in force in the country.
He said the JI wanted the country to be ruled by the law of
the holy Quran and the Sunnah.
He said it was unfortunate that the people who handed over
Dr Aafia Siddiqui to the US by selling off the national
honour were still sitting in the corridors of power. He said
that even Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan
Abbasi had done nothing for Dr Aafia's release. He said that
the masses would have to rise against these people and
support the JI .

The NFL Owners Suggest Ways for Getting Tough on National
Anthem Kneelers!
by Sis. Aisha [Jamaat al-Muslimeen]
New York City - Although America prides itself on the
existence of the First Amendment, which protects freedom of
speech, that protection is not extended to everyone nor to
certain types of protests. Black NFL players have been
kneeling during the National Anthem in protest of the murder
of civilians of African-descent by rogue cops plus, the fact
that prosecutors just can't seem to get a conviction in any
of these cases. Even when such crimes are caught on video,
no convictions!
My issue with these protests is that they are meant to draw
attention. These protests are not for getting any action
taken to change policy. However, listen to the White hosts
on sports radio and you would think these protesting NFL
players are committing a crime! These sports radio show
hosts are only concerned about people honoring their kuffar
flag and not the reasons behind these players kneeling.
There is a serious disconnection between the oppressor and
the oppressed here.
Last week, the Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones, stated that he
would penalize players for kneeling. There was also other
talk of owners suggesting that teams with kneeling players
should forfeit the game and take the loss. That would be an
attack on the kneeling players' first amendment rights but,
it would be interesting to see how they would respond to
such a penalty.
ESPN Anchor, Jemele Hill, who is also of African-descent,
stated that if Jerry Jones starts penalizing his players
then, people should boycott his advertisers. Whoa! That took
backbone for her to say because she was encouraging an
economic boycott, which is empowering.
We Muslims should be able to relate because of our boycott
of Zionist businesses supporting Israel: Starbucks, Coca
Cola, etc..
But, if we boycott the Cowboys endorsers and the Cowboys
also play Monday Night Football games on ESPN then, wouldn't
that boycott also affect ESPN's bottom line? YES, which is
why Jemele Hill has been suspended by ESPN for two whole
weeks!
[Note: This is not the first time Jemele Hill has defended
Black people against her White colleagues or bosses at ESPN.
However, she needs to get a clue and start her own channel
Online, somewhere. She has the followers to do that and
succeed!]
Just as with major league sports and the so-called
mainstream media, these entities are not going to respect
people of African-descent and allow them to be themselves
and worship their God. They are nothing more than a tool for
growing their wealth.
With regard to sports, yes, these athletes are making
millions of dollars but, the financial growth of these
sports franchises have grown exponentially! These team
owners, whether they are in the MLB, NBA, or NFL, are
billionaires. It is a business, not a charity. These team
owners get more from the players than the players do from
the owners.
Allah says throughout the Holy Qur'an that we will be
tested. When the oppressors push and we push back they will
push back harder. They also play dirty. Some critics of the
kneelers have said that these guys have signed a contract
and they are obligated to do whatever their employer
requires of them to get paid, based on what's in that
contract. True.
But, sometimes, we become enlightened a little later in life
and must decide if dealing with the devil is something we
want to continue to do. Eventually, we may need to be
prepared to strike out on our own, once we have realized
that we never really needed these oppressive bosses in the
first place. Insha'allah.

Philippines
Marawi
Muslim Women beat back Latest Army attack. Regime preparing
Final Assault on the Fighters. Almost 5 months of
battle.
October 16 [Filipino time: Its still Oct. 15 in the US.]
The Duterte regime had promised that the fighters in Marawi
would be eliminated on October 15. However when the military
attacked the fighters from the unguarded flank, Muslim women
fired back at the troops and forced the troops to retreat.
At least 20 of the soldiers were shot.
It appears that the fighting is going from house to house
and almost of the entire city has been destroyed in air
strikes by the regime.
In the small mujahedeen group remaining in Marawi are the
commanders of the fighters, Omar Khayam Maute and Isnilon
Hapilon, the overall commander of the Islamic State fighters
in the Philippines.
[Filipino researchers say that even if all the fighters are
killed, these 5 months of fighting have planted the seeds of
the Islamic State in the Philippines. Muslims in Malaysia
and Indonesia are showing support for ISIS but yet are
unable to join the fighting.]

After US bombing, Raqqa to be evacuated.
Resounding clashes around Damascus and Deraa. IS holds
al-Qaryatayn. Heavy fighting around al-Sukhnah
October 9 to 15.
A powerful drive by Russian troops backed by Iranians, Hizb
and Shia militias forced ISIS to withdraw from al-Mayadeine.
The civilian population already had left the city for the
desert on realization that both Russia and US were targeting
them.. The Russian advance to Mayadein was covered by around
the clock bombing by the Russian air force.
The city of Deir ez Zor is in control of IS but is being
surrounded by regime troops. Kurdish Communists led by the
US are also moving rapidly towards Deir ez Zor from the
north east.
In the north east, US and its coalition is still bombing
al-Raqqa. A deal is underway which would allow civilians and
local fighters to be allowed to leave the city without being
attacked. The fighters from other Muslim countries looks
like will be killed.
In eastern Homs province IS is holding on to the city of
al-Qaryatayn while clashes between IS and regime troops
continue in the desert around al-Sukhnah.
The Assad regime is shelling with artillery and shooting
ground to ground missiles into the suburbs of Damascus held
by Rahman Corp in the Jobar area, Hajr al-Aswad held by IS
and other suburbs held by Jaysh al-Islam.
Assad and the Russians are also bombing parts of Idlib
province which is held at Tahrir al Sham [formerly al-Nusra
and al-Qaida].
Turkish invasion has stopped as the Turks are turning from
fighting Tahrir al-Sham to the Kurdish Communists, YPG, in
Afrin.
Regime troops [Hizb etc] advancing towards al-Raqqa are
clashing with Ahrar al-Sham in north east of Hama
province.
British White female convert to Islam, Sally Jones, has been
killed in a US air strike. She was instrumental in getting
women to convert to Islam and to join her in ISIS territory
in Syria.
The British are concerned that her 12 year old son, Jojo,
might have also been killed in the air strike, which would
be a violation of the law.
New fighting has broken out between regime troops and FSA in
and around Deraa which is mostly in the control of FSA.
