He also used to forbid idle talk, asking too many questions,
wasting money, preventing what should be given, and asking
others for something (except in great need), being undutiful
to mothers, and burying one's little daughters (alive)."

Palestinians rally for 76th consecutive Friday in Gaza
Hundreds of Palestinians converged near the security fence
that separates the Gaza Strip from Israel on Friday to
participate in the weekly anti-occupation protests known as
the Great March of Return.
Holding Palestinian flags, the protesters flocked to five
different areas in the eastern Gaza Strip.
The Higher National Commission of the Great March of Return
and Breaking of the Gaza Siege, formed by Palestinian
factions, named this Friday's rallies the "Al-Aqsa Intifada"
in reference to the second Palestinian Intifada which
erupted on Sept. 28, 2000.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that 63
demonstrators were injured in the marches.
The ministry added that 32 of them were injured by live
bullets, without explaining the nature of the other
injuries.
Since the Gaza rallies began in March last year, nearly 270
protesters have been martyred and thousands more wounded by
Israeli forces at the security fence with Gaza.
Demonstrators demand an end to Israel's 12-year-old blockade
of the Gaza Strip, which has shattered the coastal enclave's
economy and deprived its 2 million inhabitants of free
movement in and out from Gaza and many basic amenities.
Since Gaza rallies began in March last year, nearly 270
protesters have been martyred and thousands more
wounded.
On September 27, a 4-page Jamaat al-Muslimeen document was
given to 52 Muslims.
This masjid is controlled by very rich Muslims. They did a
fund raiser after prayers calling on each person to donate
$500. It is very embarrassing for those Muslims swho don't
have that kind of money. So they start leaving during the
fund raiser.
Here is an outline of the 4-pager given to 52:
"Religion of peace" is false doctrine. Qur'an teaches
resistance.

Sources of Funds for Muslims from Repetitive Hajj. Prof.
Akintola notes why Muslim Institutions are in Bad Shape.
By Abdulkabir Oyemomi
In a lecture delivered by Professor Ishaq Akintola, the
director of the Muslim Rights Concern at the Annoor Mosque,
Abuja, on Saturday 21st September, 2019, he opined that
although Nigerian Muslims have the right to go on hajj as
many times as they wish, in reality, hajj is only expected
to be performed once in a lifetime.
However, he said, Nigerian Muslims overdo it by going on
hajj and Umrah every year. According to Akintola, those who
do so earn more rewards from Allah but they end up making
Saudi Arabia richer while Nigeria becomes poorer.
Akintola added, "It is time for strategic thinking. There is
no time to lose. Muslim leaders must establish the Ummah
Development Fund (UDF) in order to improve the economic
condition of Nigerian Muslims.
"While those Muslims who go on hajj and Umrah every year
should be allowed to do so because they are merely
exercising their Allah-given fundamental human right of
freedom of worship as entrenched in Section 38 (i) & (ii) of
the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
they should be made to contribute to the Ummah Development
Fund.
"Those going on hajj or Umrah for the second, third or more
times should be made to pay to the Ummah Development Fund.
Anyone repeating hajj should pay 5% of the total cost as his
contribution to the UDF while those repeating Umrah should
pay 13%.
"Disbursement of UDF should go to the education, health,
humanitarian and economic sectors of Nigerian Muslims in
this manner : 60% to education (establishment of more
Islamic universities); 20% to health (establishment of
Muslim hospitals); 10% to humanitarian services (for taking
care of Muslim widows, orphans and other vulnerable Muslims)
and 10% to investments (building of halal hotels and other
businesses).
"However, those who have never performed hajj or Umrah
before should be exempted.
Laying more emphasis on his analysis, Akintola asked, "Where
are Muslim hospitals? How many Islamic universities are in
Nigeria? The total number of universities in Nigeria is 170.
Out of this number, the Federal Government has 43, the state
governments have 48 and 79 are private universities.
But the real tragedy is that out of the 79 private
universities, only six (6) belong to Muslims. Muslim
students are persecuted in those private universities which
are owned by non-Muslims. They are forced to attend church
services. Female Muslim students are not allowed to use
hijab. Muslim students are denied the right to form Islamic
associations like MSS. They are not allowed to observe salat
as no space is allocated to mosques. Yet Nigerian Muslims
continue to snore loud in their sleep. Who did this to
Nigerian Muslims?
Akintola also added the Zakat angle to his proposed UDF.
"As at today, only those states practicing Shari'ah are
collecting zakat officially. But what of millions of Muslims
in the other states?
"I therefore suggest that Muslim communities in those
remaining states should organise voluntary payment of zakat
to be managed by tested and trusted Muslim leaders in their
states. Zakat funds collected in the states should be used
in the same manner as those collected on hajj and Umrah.
Akintola lamented the poor condition of Nigerian
Muslims.
He said, "Too many Muslims are suffering. Employers of
labour discriminate against Muslim job seekers. I am
constrained to single out Muslim women whose employability
is at the lowest level due to the Islamic dress code of
hijab.
"The divinely ordained use of hijab often makes it
impossible for Muslim women who use hijab to get jobs. For
instance, the army, police, NDLEA, customs, immigrations
advertised for recruitments this year (2019) but Muslim
women in hijab could not apply.
"Let me quickly respond to the question raised by a member
of the Abuja chapter of MURIC in his online contribution to
the issue of UDF during this lecture. The brother suggested
that I personally or MURIC as a group should coordinate
UDF.
"I have responded by telling him and other members of MURIC
in Abuja Chapter that it means UDF is dead on arrival.
"The question we should ask ourselves is : should MURIC or
Akintola arrogate this UDF idea to himself or itself? I say
a capital NO. Let all Muslims have access to it, analyse it,
adopt it or reject it. Posterity will judge.
"I therefore propose the establishment of a UDF COMMITTEE in
which all major Islamic organizations in the country will
have one representative each. Members of this committee will
propose a Board of Trustees (BOT) who will manage the
fund.
"The BOT membership, hopefully, will include tested and
trusted Muslims like Mallam Adamu Adamu (current Minister of
Education), Mallam Ahmed Ali (current head of customs) and
Professor Ishaq Oloyede (current head of JAMB).
"Finally, I call on the Sultan of Sokoto and President
General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs
(NSCIA) to take the bull by the horn by requesting for
nominations from major Islamic organizations throughout the
country.
"I put the responsibility on the wide shoulders of the NSCIA
because it is the only umbrella organization for Muslims in
Nigeria. It therefore has indisputable locus standi.
Nevertheless, NSCIA is advised to hands off the team once it
has been set up. The BOT of the UDF can only perform
effectively if it is independent.
"This suggestion for the establishment of Ummah Development
Fund is capable of lifting millions of Nigerian Muslims out
of poverty, ignorance and disease.
"I urge Muslim leaders and Muslim elites to embrace it in
the interest of coming Muslim generations. This is our
legacy to unborn Muslim children. To ignore it is to incur
the wrath of young Muslims who are already getting
frustrated anyway. They are already asking : how did the
affair of Nigerian Muslims get so worse? Why are we the
dregs of society? What were our fathers doing? Why did they
allow this to happen to us?"

Editorial
Aleppo and Mosul vs. Nuremburg and Aachen
The Destruction of Entire German Cities in World War II
Holocaust of Civilians was meant to turn People against
their rulers and lead to the collapse of Armed Resistance.
It Failed
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
David Irving wrote an entire book documenting the
incineration of the south German city of Dresden. It was a
holocaust
What is not known is that ALL German cities were similarly
destroyed, especially after the German air force became
ineffective.
Why do the western powers try to destroy civilian
populations?
Eastern Aleppo in Syria was destroyed in 2016. Mosul in Iraq
was destroyed in 2017.
The Islamic defenders of Aleppo successfully resisted years
of assault by the Shiite-Alawite regime in Damascus. The
Lebanese Hizbullah and Iranian Revolutionary Guards joined
Damascus regime's forces and assaulted Aleppo repeatedly.
The Islamic resistance grouped in FSA volunteer forces
fought back successfully. In fact the resistance, helped by
al-Nusra from outside Aleppo, launched successful
counterattacks which drove Assad's allies way back from
Aleppo.
In the third segment of the assault on Aleppo, the Russian
air force joined Assad's regime and started the systematic
destruction of East Aleppo block by block, street by street.
Eastern Aleppo became a pile of rubble. Thousands of
civilians were buried in the rubble.
This was the Russian resuscitation of the World War II
doctrine of assault on civilian populations.
A similar process occurred in Mosul, Iraq. The Islamic
Caliphate established in Mosul was militarily able to resist
the Shia armies supported by the American air force. When
the Baghdad regime attacked East Mosul, conventional battles
went on for months. The regime won but paid a heavy price.
UN figures showed 2,000 Shia troops killed. The regime
protested to the UN and stopped announcing casualty
figures.
The attack on West Mosul was much more difficult. A large
civilian population was supporting the Islamic State. A
determined force of hard core mujahideen, about 1600, were
intent on fighting back.
Here the Americans and Shia Iraqi forces followed the World
War II doctrine of terrorism aimed at the entire population.
There was a steady stream of regime propaganda claiming that
the fighters were hiding behind the civilians. [Almost a
duplicate of the Israeli propaganda during Israel's bombing
of Gaza and, before that, Lebanon.]
No one had invited the Shia military to "liberate" Mosul.
Now it has come out that heavy artillery and tank fire was
aimed by the Shia military at the general population of
Mosul. The American air force, with its coalition of French,
Australian, Belgian and Canadian air forces, became the air
force of the regime. The AIR WARS group has counted 5118
civilians killed in the air attacks with another 2000 feared
lying dead in the rubble. However, with the Shia regime's
general use of heavy artillery and Apache helicopter attacks
on Mosul, the civilian death toll has spiraled into
genocide. The British paper, The Independent, and now other
sources too, are estimating the civilian death toll at
40,000 and about 900, 000 made homeless. The regime itself
says that if there were an IS sniper on a roof top, a US air
strike would be called in, destroying the house and
everything around the house: 500 pound bombs were used.
This destruction of entire cities, block by block, house by
house, has its genesis in the destruction of German cities
in World War II.
Symbols of German culture were destroyed by the British and
US air forces. Historic sites, churches, schools, theatres
were bombed again and again till they were wiped out.
In Syria, we see mosques and seminaries being bombed.
Thousands of mosques have been damaged or completely
demolished.
In Mosul, the air strikes not only destroyed the historic
El-Nuri mosque but the US and the Shias claimed it was
destroyed by the Islamic State itself! It was the rallying
point of the Islamic resistance and the IS flag had been
flying from the top for a couple of years. The worldwide
Zionist media were used by the Shias to proclaim that the
Islamic State itself destroyed its most important mosque
from where the Caliphate had been proclaimed. Is it
surprising that the Shias and the US have not called for any
impartial inquiry.
The idea was TERRORIZE and HUMILIATE THE POPULATION and as a
result:
People will turn against their rulers.
Production of weapons and ammunition will cease or be cut
down drastically.
The fighters would surrender.
The unexpected happened both in Germany and now in Syria and
Iraq.
Here is an extract about the bombing of Nuremburg which was
the rallying point of Hitler's movement. The cultural
aspects of the city had to be destroyed to humiliate the
German people.
Nuremburg: " The U.S. Eighth Air Force appeared midday on
October 3, 1944 with 454 Flying Fortresses. They hit the
choir of St. Sebald's Church, the castle, the Durer House
and landed a direct hit on the Peller House behind it, which
had been among Germany's most beautiful patrician
residences. The bombs plowed through the
four-hundred-year-old St. Rochus Cemetery, slinging around
the sarcophagus-like sandstone monuments, uncovering the
resting bones. .... "
"Tucher Castle, the Hans Sachs, and Veit Stoss Houses, the
Holy Ghost, Saint Ageidius's and Mastersingers' churches,
the entire castle grounds, and a total of two thousand
medieval homes were crushed in a vandalistic fit of raving
madness.... which had all remained intact throughout much of
the war as they were militarily irrelevant.... were not
these cities the great symbols, demonstrating to the German
people their background?" [The Fire by Jorge Friedrich, page
277]
Here is an example of a city which fought back. Aachen, on
the border of west Germany. "The city was of no military
use, it had been radically destroyed by bombing raids on the
nights of April 11 and May 24, 1944. The former was the most
severe preinvasion raid, killing 1,525 residents including
212 children. Six hospitals were hit, making them needed all
the more. Eighty patients and eleven nurses were killed....
on May 24, when Bomber Command sent 442 planes that leveled
more than just the two train stations. In addition to the
15,000 left homeless and 207 dead, the raid destroyed
several villages....(including) the old district of
Aachen...with hot springs and the Imperial Abbey dating back
to the early middle ages...razed on April 12." [page
117]
"...the old town of Bonn died in a fire of eighty thousand
incendiary sticks, two hundred high-explosive bombs, and
fifty block busters... the Minster church of 1070...suffered
heavy damage... 486 civilians lost their lives." [page
127]
Neither Aachen nor Bonn had any military significance. But
after the bombing, the German people [mostly civilians]
fought back bitterly and held Aachen for a long time.
It's interesting to note that after Aleppo and Mosul, the
Islamic people are still fighting back.
Similarly the German people kept fighting even after their
cities were pulverized by the allied air forces.
Terrorizing the civilian populations does not lead to the
surrender of fighting forces if they are highly committed to
their cause.
None of the Germans turned against Hitler. None of the
civilians in Mosul turned on IS. In fact the women came out
to give their lives against the Shia assault.
The slaughter of civilians is not strategically helpful.
Pakistan
Imran Khan's Speech at the UN included Serious Errors
[New Trend comment.]
The entire spectrum of secularists has praised Imran Khan's
speech. He did speak well against global warming and
Islamophobia. However there were serious weaknesses in his
speech which should be noted.
Here are our comments:
It was Imran khan's cry for pity and mercy. He was trying to
tell non-Muslims that Kashmiris will get radicalized.
He assured his non Muslim audience that he has fulfilled
their wishes by wiping out the mujahideen groups in Pakistan
and it is now the job of the UN to hold back India!
He is against Islamic groups and then tries to fool Muslims
by talking about Madina.
India should lift the curfew he says but when it is lifted,
he says, Kashmiris will come out crazy and india will
slaughter them. He does not see the contradiction!
Pakistan is destroying itself by striking against Islamic
groups and Imran is part of this disaster.
If India attacks us we will fight back he said . But india
might absorb Kashmir without attacking Pakistan. It is
getting ready to take Free Kashmir.
Without Islam Pakistan cannot fight back. The generals lost
East Pakistan and have devastated Swat and Waziristan which
wanted Islamic Law. The generals are used to attacking soft
targets.
Two Pakistani soldiers were killed in Waziristan a couple of
days back. A series of new attacks has begun. Mujahideen
retreated but have not been defeated.
India is gaining ground in Afghanistan owing to Pakistani
actions against Pashtuns.
Imran told a bunch of lies. His top general is friends with
Trump and he himself is depending on Trump to mediate
Kashmir..
All this talk about global ummah makes no sense when Imran
is not supporting any fighting Muslim group even
verbally.
He lied that mujahideen against Soviets were trained by
Pakistan. Looks like he has never heard of Osama. Pakistani
troops never fought against Soviets.
He branded as terrorist the group whose youth attacked
Indian army at Pulwama.
It's a shame that he attacked his political opponents as
corrupt. Washing his country's dirty linen in public,
oversea, is not wise. They were branded as corrupt and
arrested so that he could be made prime minister by the
army.
He helped the blasphemer to escape to Canada while the
opponents of blasphemy were arrested .
UN has Failed Both
Kashmir and Palestine
by Qaiser Sharif
Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir- Sep 27: Jamaat-e-Islami chief
Sirajul Haq has expressed regret over the failure of the
United Nations to get implemented its numerous resolutions
on Kashmir.
Addressing "Save Kashmir March" in Muzaffarabad on Friday,
he said the UN acted as toothless body when it came to the
matters pertaining to the Muslim world.
AJK Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haida, AJK Legislative
Assembly member Abdur Rasheed Turabi, JI Naib Amir Mian
Aslam, JI AJK chapter Amir Dr Khalid Mahmood and others also
addressed the participants.
Holding flags of Pakistan, AJK and the JI a large number of
people from all walks of life attended the event. They
chanted slogans in "Kashmir Banay Ga Pakistan-Kashmir will
be the part of Pakistan" and "Long Live JI-Long Live Kashmir
Freedom Movement" on occasion.
"The UN, world powers and Pakistani government have done
nothing practical in support of the people of Kashmir who
are starving to death due to food shortages in the held
region and passing their lives under worst curfew," said
Senator Siraj, warning the world against growing anger of
the people of AJK and Pakistan about the situation.
"People would be compelled to march towards the Line of
Control if India continued its atrocities in the held area
and world did nothing to stop it."
He said people of Pakistan and AJK were ready to go to any
extent in support of their brethren, asking the world not to
test their patience, shun its silence and force New Delhi to
stop worst human rights violation in the valley. He added
that time had approached that Kashmiris be allowed to
exercise their right to self determination. He said it was
more than seven decades that Kashmiris were deprived from
their basic rights and world was acting as a shameless
spectator.
He advised the government not to look towards the UNO and
the West for solution of Kashmir dispute but make some
decisive moves to thwart Indian designs about the
region.
He assured the Kashmiris that people of Pakistan would never
leave them alone in this testing time and that their quest
to get liberation from Indian yoke will ultimately succeed.
He said the AJK assembly should act as representative of
entire Jammu and Kashmir and hold its session in different
countries to counter Indian propaganda.
Dr Khalid said that Kashmiris would never surrender before
the Indian atrocities and continue their struggle for
freedom. He said people of Kashmir were sacrificing their
present for the future of Pakistan.
Rasheed Turabi said the JI under the leadership of Sirajul
Haq was doing its best to create awareness among the people
on Kashmir cause.
Turkey & Malaysia Thanked for Kashmir Support.
LAHORE- Sep 27: Jamaat-e-Islami leaders have thanked the
Turkish President Tayyap Erdogran and Malaysian Prime
Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad for raising strong voices in
favour of the besieged people of the Indian Occupied Kashmir
during their addresses to the UNGA.
"People of Pakistan are thankful and pay tribute to Turkish
and Malaysian leaders for raising the Kashmir issue at UNO,"
said JI leader Hafiz Idrees in a statement.
JI Naib Amir Liaqat Baloch said the dual face of western
world was completely exposed. The western leaders, he said,
pretended to be the champion of human rights but became mum
when it came to the cruelties being unleashed on Muslims. He
presided over a session held to review the arrangements of
JI Kashmir Mach in Lahore which was going to be held on
October 6.

U.N. Protest Against Modi
INDIAN AMERICAN COALITION ANNOUNCES U.N. PROTEST AGAINST
MODI
Demands include end to Kashmir's lockdown, repeal of
draconian laws, halt to mob lynchings.
Renowned U.S. historian Audrey Truschke to join protest
NEW YORK, September 26 — Thousands of Indian Americans
will be massing outside the United Nations headquarters here
on Friday, September 27, to protest the arrival of Indian
Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak at the General
Assembly.
The protest is being organized to draw global attention to
Mr. Modi's "anti-poor and anti-minority" government, the
Coalition Against Fascism in India (CAFI), the lead
organizer, said in a statement released here on Thursday,
September 26.
"Narendra Modi's government has been orchestrating a pogrom
of hate and violence against Muslims and Dalits in India,"
CAFI's release said. "Recently, it has disenfranchised seven
million Kashmiris. It has also rendered nearly two million
people stateless in Assam and is building detention centers
to imprison them."
CAFI added: "Mr. Modi's anti-poor, anti-minority government
has also been cracking down on all forms of dissent and all
those who question its politics of hate. Its economic
policies have resulted in escalating poverty and the highest
unemployment rate in half a century. These events in India
concerns all of us who live in the United States."
Audrey Truschke. History professor at Rutgers University,
who will join the protest, said communities and individuals
protesting "have experienced, often personally and
painfully, the cataclysmic results of his hateful brand of
extreme nationalism: Hindutva.
"Hindutva is a bigoted political ideology with many victims.
India's religious minorities, especially Muslims, have faced
increasing disenfranchisement and violence during Modi's
tenure. The Modi government has ruthlessly attacked the
media, academics, and others who dare to speak out. In some
cases, Modi has successfully silenced people he deems
problematic, most recently subjecting the entire population
of India-controlled Kashmir to a communications blackout
that has lasted nearly two months already.
"The Modi government has been clear in its message that
criticizing, or even merely accurately describing, Hindutva
comes with increasing risks, which makes the scale and
diversity of the current protests all the more astonishing.
I urge global leaders to listen, not only to Modi, but to
those he has not yet managed to silence."
Said Mohammad Jawad, National General Secretary of Indian
American Muslim Council: "We are not anti-India or
anti-Hindu. We are merely demanding basic human rights that
the Constitution of India guarantees for all citizens. The
Modi government follows the RSS's Hindutva ideology which is
responsible for all atrocities and lynchings against the
Indian minorities. These need to stop and the perpetrators
prosecuted."
Added Sunita Viswanath, Co-Founder of Hindus for Human
Rights: "We will keep raising our Hindu voice of protest
against the fascist policies of the Modi government and
their unabated human rights atrocities such as lynchings,
rapes, murders, arrests of dissenters, Islamophobia,
National Register of Citizens and the siege of Kashmir under
siege. This government is destroying Indian democracy in the
name of Hinduism. As Hindus, as Indians, and as people of
conscience, we say 'Not In Our Name'."
Kerala-based Dalit rights activist Ajaya Kumar who is
visiting New York and will join the protest, said Mr. Modi's
government has dismantled the "very democratic institutions
that we had laboriously built... He has dragged the
country's politics back to the medieval age. The minorities,
Dalits, Adivasis and every other identity that does not fit
into Hindu Nationalism faces a serious threat, and
dissenting voices are targeted."
Hawk Newton, Chairman, BLM Greater New York, said: "We stand
united against governments that exploit the most
vulnerable." They, too, will join the protest.
New York-based Musician Sunny Jain, who will perform at the
protests, said Mr. Modi's Hindu nationalistic ideology was
"simply divisive and inciting aggression towards minorities,
namely Muslims. I condemn nationalism from Trump to Modi and
urge all artists, South Asians and people to raise their
voice against these hurtful ideologies."
James Sues, Executive Director, Council on America-Islamic
Relations (CAIR), New Jersey, said that the Modi government
had "illegally stripped" the people of Kashmir of their
autonomy, and called for a reinstatement of the Indian
Constitution's Article 370 that gave Kashmir a special
status and that was last week scrapped by Mr. Modi. "We call
on world leaders of conscience to reject the fascist agenda
of Mr. Modi and the BJP and stand with the marginalized
minorities of India," Mr. Sues said.
CAFI includes Indian American organizations dedicated to
defending human rights and democracy in India. Many civil
rights groups have endorsed the protests.
CAFI demands that Mr. Modi's government restore Art. 370
that granted Jammu and Kashmir a special status, end
Kashmir's military occupation, and respect Kashmiris' right
to decide their future; repeal the Public Safety Act and the
Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA); terminate the
National Register of Citizens; halt the lynchings of Dalits,
Muslims and Adivasis; repeal the draconian laws misused
against Adivasis, Dalits, minorities, environmentalists and
the working classes; free political prisoners such as the
physically challenged Prof. G.N. Saibaba and those in the
Bhima Koregaon case; and withdraw false cases against
anti-caste activists such as Anand Teltumbde.
Coalition Against Fascism in India (CAFI) is a coalition of
various organizations dedicated to defending human rights
and democracy in India, and are endorsed by anti-fascist,
anti-racist, secular, and environmentalist groups.
