Massive gatherings in major cities . Funeral prayers for
Syed Munawar Hasan.
What made him so Important?
by Qaiser Sharif & Others.
KARACHI/LAHORE- June 27: Jamaat-e-Islami former Emir Syed
Munawar Hasan was laid to rest in Sakhi Hasan graveyard of
Karachi on Saturday.
JI chief Senator Sirajul Haq led the funeral prayer of the
former Emir at Eidgah Ground Nazimabad. Thousands of workers
of the JI, leaders from different religious and political
parties and people from all walks of life attended the
funeral prayer.
Syed Munawar was the name of an ideology and his death was a
loss not only to Pakistan but entire Muslim world, said
Senator Siraj while addressing the gathering. Whether it was
the matter of the US invasion of Afghanistan or Indian
atrocities in Kashmir, the late JI leader stood firm against
the Muslim genocide and led movements in staunch opposition
of the so-called world powers without caring for the
internal and external pressures, said Senator Siraj. In
fect, he added, Syed passed all his life fighting against
the imperialistic forces within and outside the country.
Syed Munawar's narrative was strong and it was pro-poor and
anti-elite, he added.
"The JI struggle revolves around Syed Sahib's narrative. We
have been struggling for establishing the system dreamt by
our late leader," said Sirajul Haq, emphasizing upon every
JI leader and worker to follow the footsteps of Syed Munawar
to make Pakistan an Islamic welfare state.
JI Deputy Emir Liaqat Baloch visited the residence of Syed
Munawar to offer condolence to the family of late leader. He
said Syed Munawar made relentless struggle against the
capitalistic and imperialistic forces and secular lobbies
during his lifetime. He was the true follower and
representative of Syed Maududi's philosophy, Baloch said,
adding the death of Syed Munawar was not only a loss to JI
but to all religious and political forces working for the
betterment of Pakistan.
Meanwhile, JI leader Hafiz Idrees led funeral in absentia of
Syed Munawar at Mansoora. A large number of people attended
the prayer.

Black Lives Matter a Front for Homosexual Rights
by Sis. Aisha [Jamaat al-Muslimeen]
New York City - Recently, in Brooklyn, Black Lives Matter
(BLM) held an event promoting transgender rights. It is
estimated that there were 60,000 to 70,000 attendees. On
this week's Community Cop Show, co-host Michael Greys
suggested that we read an organization's Mission Statement
or its About Us web page to learn tits objective. Part of
BLM's Mission Statement makes it clear that all Black lives,
include queer and trans-gendered
people:
"We affirm the lives of Black queer and trans folks,
disabled folks, undocumented folks, folks with records,
women, and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. Our
network centers those who have been marginalized within
Black liberation movements."
In the 1980s, Civil Rights pioneer and Pacifist Bayard
Rustin, who was gay, stated that gays would be at the
forefront for social change in America, not Black people.
Many members of the Black Power Movement, including Imam
Jamil Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), spoke against
Rustin's questionable behavior, which included an arrest and
60 day sentence for engaging in public lewdness with two
White men in the backseat of a car in Pasadena, California
in 1953.
Since 2012, when Black Christian leaders defiantly announced
that they did not condone homosexuality and condemned the
Obama Administration's 'Gay Agenda,' there has been an
increasingly strong effort to encourage it in the
African-American community.
According to Community Cop's Michael Greys, George Soros has
pledged $33 million dollars to BLM, although his
spokeswoman, Laura Silber, denies he has ever done so.
However, in 2016, the Ford Foundation and Borealis
Philanthropy pledged $100 million to a Black-Led Movement
Fund, which includes BLM! And, now an area in gentrified "Do
or Die" Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn is now known as Black Lives
Matter Way to the chagrin of Black activists, who have
campaigned, unsuccessfully, for areas of Brooklyn to be
named after true liberators, such as Harriet Tubman.
But here's why this is, according to Community Cop co-host
Noel Leader: No economic boycotting. "Civil rights"
organizations such as, the National Action Network, the
Urban League, The Rainbow Coalition, and the NAACP are all
right with the White establishment "as long as you don't
mess with their money." The White establishments don't like
rallies or marches either but, tolerate them as long as that
is the only action taken by these groups. Also, many of
these organizations have doomed themselves to failure by
focusing on trying to change the oppressors' racist
attitudes instead of implementing strategies that will end
their oppressive practices. As long as the oppressor is not
being held accountable for any wrong-doing, he can afford to
ignore these organizations demand that he view everyone as a
human being.
This is not the first time "Black" organizations have been
used to promote another group's agenda. In 1914, when
Columbia University Professor Emeritus Joel Spingarn, a
staunch Zionist, became an NAACP board member, he recruited
other staunch Zionists to join the board: Rabbi Stephen
Weisz (Wise), Jacob Schiff, and Jacob Billikopf.
BLM, with the help of the mainstream media, has been thrust
into the limelight as the face of civil disobedience,
defiance, unity, and courage. Unfortunately, they appeal to
the youth because. No one else is willing to 'Act-Up' just
as gay rights activists did in the mid to late 80s to bring
attention to the AIDS crisis.
If President Obama, the most "powerful" leader of the New
World, could be made to look like a chump by arrogant racist
officers then, who else will speak up? Pres. Obama's
non-action while Black people were being murdered by White
officers, with impunity, opened the door to Black Lives
Matter and its gay agenda using the anti-racism platform.
Maybe that was the plan all along?
Apartheid is a Crime:
Portraits of the Israeli Occupation of Palestine is a book
by Mats Svensson. Jim Miles reviewed the book; here is what
he has to say:
In Apartheid is a Crime, Mats Svensson has created a very
accessible clear expression of Israel's occupation of
Palestine.
It is composed primarily of photos of the Palestinian
situation. Not photos of the wars, the fighting, and the
blood, but of the people and their dispossession under
martial law. The faces do not show rage and hatred, but
range from resigned acceptance, through steadfastness,
passive resistance, and on to - somehow - a seeming ironic
happiness - ironic in that it is difficult to imagine anyone
smiling or laughing under these conditions. When Israeli
shoulders are viewed, their faces are impassive,
uncaring.
The landscape is presented in three themes. The first shows
the abandoned landscapes from the nakba - houses untended
and decaying, the native plants, and significantly the
native cactus claiming their own space in the ruins. The
demolition of homes highlights the daily ongoing military
actions, piece by piece, of the slow demolition of the
remaining cultural and civil landscape. Finally, the wall
looms above all, combined with wide swaths of cleared
'buffer' zones, separating families, farms, businesses, and
civic interaction.
Preceded with a foreword by Ramzy Baroud, the photos are
accompanied by short text excerpts from many well-known
names: Tom Segev, Richard Falk, Nelson Mandela, Edward Said,
Moshe Dayan, and Presidents Obama, Carter and Bush. Among
them are lesser-known names of Palestinian and Jewish
voices, speaking equally as eloquently as the readily
recognized names. The general theme of the comments is of
apartheid and colonialism, the unfortunate silence of the
diplomats, and the daily humiliations and struggles of the
people suffering under the apartheid system, a system that
always and ever has denied a two-state solution.
The juxtaposition of comments and photos provides a strong
message concerning the plight of the Palestinian people. It
is concise, not needing a historical background, hitting the
reader on an emotional level more than an intellectual
level. For those just becoming familiar with the Palestinian
problems Apartheid is a Crime is a good starting position;
for those already cognizant of the situation and many of its
political/legal backgrounds, Apartheid is a Crime presents a
visually emotive reminder with concise quotes and references
reinforcing longer discourses.
Second Libya Conference. General Hifter behavlng like
Gaddafi.
Atrocities and Massive Human Rights Violations.
On June 23 Dr. Kaukab Siddique was invited to an
international conference on Libya [held by zoom]:
The moderator was Sis. Anwaar Omeish [wearing hijab]. She
translated Arabic into English and English comments into
Arabic.
The two main speakers called from Libya. The main speaker
who is active in the field of human rights is Ahmad
El-Gasir. The second speaker trying to help migrants in
Libya is Tariki Jamloum.
Some of the translation was also done by Mongo Dhauadi.
Ahmad El-Gasir was specific and listed the crimes which have
been uncovered wth the two hundred mile retreat of General
Hifter with his forces constituted from UAE, Russia and
mercenaries from Sudan and Chad.
The retreat was caused by Syrian fighters and Turkish jets
which had come in to help the legally constituted government
in Tripoli.
Al-Gasir noted the slaughter of civilians by General
Hifter's forces.
Hospitals and schools were targeted as were water resources
and food
supplies and markets. Hifter had also captured the major
oil resources [which are still in his hands] denying
resources to the legal government.
The most harrowing part of El-Gasir's report was about the
discovery of mass graves in Tahura which Hifter made into
his stronghold after slaughtering large numbers of people.
The second main speaker, Tariki Jamloum, focused on the fate
of migrants who are stuck in Libya. Of these at least 220
are women. There
are scores of children who have been separated from their
parents.
Mines laid by the retreating army have caused 104 casualties
because civilians cannot spot the mines. UNICEF has stated
that it has funds for the migrants but these substantial
funds have not reached Libya.
Jamloum pointed out the tragedy of migrants who manage to
reach
Europe but are sent back by European authorities.
Gangs are also at work. There are cases of families who
reached Germany but were abducted by gangsters.
A third speaker could not join the conference from Libya
because the town where he was supervising mine removal lost
its electricity.
Comments by Dr. Kaukab Siddique
[comments created for this
publication - they were not part of the conference]:
The situation in Libya is linked to the future of the
Muslim world, second only to Palestine, Syria and Kashmir.
UAE and Sissi are involved in and responsible for the
crimes committed by Hifter.
The slaughter of civilians is like the behavior of
Gaddafi who would execute anyone he considered a dissident.
Turkey and Syrian fighters have played a key role in the
defeat of Hifter but Russia and Egypt's Sissi are trying to
save Hifter. USA might also intervene if the Russuan influence increases.
The Islamic State is reviving in the southeastern desert.
Turkey does not like IS and might try to crush it which
would weaken Turkey's Islamic influence.

Hadith of the Week
Look beyond the surface
if you want to see those truly in need - they will not ask
for help.
Believers are required to be good stewards of the resources
Allah has given us, so before giving sadaqa, ask Allah for
eyes to see the ones who struggle in silence instead of the
ones who ask with ease.
Hadith: Narrated by
Abu Huraira, r.a.:
The Prophet said, "The poor person is not the one for whom a
date or two or a morsel or two
of food is sufficient but the poor person is he who does not
beg or ask the people for something or show his poverty at
all. Recite if you wish, (Allah's Statement): "They do not
beg of people at all."

Asalamu alaikum,
Make Du'a for Others in Private
When you make du'a for someone in private, Allah sends an
angel to you whom replies "Ameen and same to you."
*If you help someone, Allah helps you.*
Supplicating for someone is a beautiful way to aid your
fellow brothers and sisters.
Make dua for your family and for the members of your
community!
O Allah, save humanity from being its own enemy. Protect
Your creation from oppression. Save the ummah from internal
and external oppressors and grant them justice.
Protect us all from violence, fear, illness and danger.

Protest in Catonsville, Maryland
After work today, I went to a very interesting Black Lives
Matter protest. It was at Catonsville High School, and
organized entirely by youth. High schoolers were marching
and protesting, some with the support of their parents. One
of the lead organizers was a little Bangladeshi girl, named
Nusrat. She didn't wear hijab, but identified herself as a
Muslim from the podium.

China's hidden partner in suppressing the Muslim Uighurs - the US
It's been revealed that Trump encouraged the mass internment
of Uighurs. But the US complicity goes back to 9/11.
Last week, President Trump signed the Uyghur Human Rights
Protection Act, the first US legislation to focus on the
role of the US in protecting the rights of Uighurs and other
indigenous Muslims inside China. On the same day, former
national security adviser John Bolton revealed in an excerpt
from his book that Trump had allegedly told the Chinese
leader, Xi Jinping, perhaps as early as 2017 and again in
2019, that he agreed with his policy of placing Muslims in
mass internment camps.
While contradictory messaging is not new to the Trump
administration, these particular mixed messages about
Uighurs have a longer history which belies the role that the
US has played in stoking the flames of Islamophobia in
China.
