Book Review

 Dr Kaukab Siddique

Muslims only know the Israeli Version of World War 2. Here is the documented story of German Resistance to the western Allies.

Goering: A Biography by David Irving. Focal Point Publications. 2010. 600 pages. 42 photos.

Goering was second only to Hitler in Germany right up to 1945.
Background to the Second World War is not known to most Muslims..

Germany after its defeat in the First World War was humiliated. The industrial areas of Germany were taken over by France. Parts of eastern Germany including its port was taken over by Poland. Germans living as minorities in Poland, Russia and Czechoslovakia were mistreated sometimes in the most atrocious ways. People of Austria were Germans too but they were ruled by Communists. Germany was poverty stricken. Its wealth was in the hands of Jews and its poor masses were lead by Communists.

The most humiliating aspect of German defeat was the prohibition of the development of its armed forces, particularly its air force. That's where the story of Goering comes in.

David Irving has documented the life of Goering from private papers, letters, diaries and official records.

Goering, fully documented by David Irving can be summarized as follows:

  1. He loved a woman named Carin. His thinking was permanently marked by the influence of Carin. When she died, he built a memorial to her and refurbished it throughout his life. He remarried and had a child. He loved them but never forgot Carin.

  2. He was a hunter but did it selectively and cared greatly for the rights of animals. The laws he enacted for the protection of wild life still exist in Germany.

  3. He wanted peace and subtly opposed Hitler's warlike moves. In particular he did not want war with Poland and UK. He later felt that it was irrational to fight Russia.

  4. As the situation moved towards conflict and war, he built up the German air force. It was illegal to do so. He sensed that Germany would be defenseless if it did not have an air force. So, in a very cunning way he built up the air force behind the facade of civil air lines.

  5. When the war began, Germany initially did not want to hit civilian targets in UK. However the British leader, Churchill, ordered the bombing of German cities. Gradually, under public pressure, Germany retaliated. Churchill thus trapped Germany and was able to whip up the war spirit in the British public.

  6. As the war raged, Goering continued his efforts through contacts in Sweden to make peace with UK.

  7. Often times Goering lost interest in the war and devoted himself to focus on the acquisition of paintings. Hitler blamed the Luftwaffe, the German air force, and Goering for its inability to defend German cities. against bombing by the British air force. The debacle at Stalingrad where the Russians captured an entire German army. made Goering realize that Germany could lose the war.

  8. The British air force used an incendiary device to set fire to entire German cities. Tens of thousands of civilians were killed. Hamburg was burned down along with with dozens of other cities. That's when Goering realized that new defense tactics must be used to stop the slaughter of German civilians.

  9. After America joined the war, "carpet bombing " by 1,000 American bombers at a time began. Goering went into action.

    Under his command, the German air force, using creative tactics inflicted defeat on the vast American air fleets.

  10. Caught between Britain, America and Russia, Germany was defeated. Traitors undermined the German resistance. The SS led by Himmler fought to the bitter end, even house to house in Berlin itself. Hitler and Goebbels and their families refused to surrender and committed suicide. Goering survived and was under the illusion that the western powers would respect him as a top leader and he could help them to create a post war Germany. He thought they would realize that the overwhelming military might of Russia was the real threat after the war, and he had done nothing against the Jews. He had bought paintings from them and helped some of them to escape the clutches of the Gestapo.

  11. The allies considered Goering a war criminal and put him on trial along with other German leaders. at Nuremburg, a city most of which was in ruins owing to British and American bombing.

  12. The allies were frustrated that they could not get Hitler. The next best was Goering. They wanted to make sure that he would not kill himself. He asked that if they had to kill him, they should kill him by firing squad. They declined and decided to hang him with the full drama of of media coverage.

    He defeated them by ending his life in a way which they could not discover.

Local Government & Decision Making Process.
By Qaiser Sharif

LAHORE: DEC 14: Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has said the claimants of democracy have never paid attention to strengthen the local government system in Pakistan.

The PTI and the two former ruling parties, he said while addressing party workers at Mansoorah on Tuesday, never wanted to devolve power at lower levels.

"They [PTI, PML-N, PPP] want their grip over power and their main objective is to keep the common man away from the decision-making process. They want local government system just for namesake purpose."

He said the three parties were clubs of feudal lords and capitalists and protector of status quo.

"Pakistan needs a powerful local government system. The JI has long been demanding for it."

Sirajul Haq said the LG polls should be held in transparent way without interference of the government and the establishment. The LG polls, he said, should be held on time and as per schedule like the general elections. He said the presence of powerful LG system was the main source of development which one saw in in western countries. The west, he said, strengthened its democracy through the devolution of power.

He said the Holy Prophet (pbuh) introduced the first local government system and later it was further organized in the era of Hazrat Umar (r,a), the second caliph.

He said the JI would make full participation in the LG elections, directing the party leaders and workers to make preparations for it. "Go to the people in every nook and corner and inform them about the manifesto of the JI," he advised the participants of the meeting, saying the objective of the JI was to transform Pakistan into Islamic welfare state in true sense. He said the PTI also failed to bring any change, keeping the former government policies continued. He said the change was not possible without getting rid of the tested parties and faces. He said the JI was the only option left with the masses and it would put the country on track if voted to power.

Indian Army massacred Civilians in Nagaland, then tried to change clothes of Dead Bodies.
[India Today, December 8]

The search company of residents from Oting village that reached the spot of shooting near the Longkhao stream after hearing the sounds of gunfire believes that there was an attempt to stage the dead civilians. Family members of Shomwang, one of the deceased persons, said that he was found half-naked, and some of the dead bodies were changed into camouflage clothing.

When India Today visited the spot of shooting, live Lathode bombs were still there.

Thirteen civilians had died in what was a botched-up operation by the special forces of the Indian Army on Saturday in Nagaland's Mon district. One soldier lost his life in retaliation by an angry mob of civilians. Another civilian died on Sunday in firing by the forces, targeted by a mob.

Keapwang Konyak, one of the eyewitnesses, told India Today TV that when he reached the site of the shooting, he saw a pickup van speeding away. When the locals chased the vehicle, they found three more vehicles with army men at the spot.

Konyak concurred with the version of Shomwang's family. He said, "They [forces] tried to change their [deceased persons'] clothes."

The locals had found Shomwang's car with bullet marks and bloodstains. This is why they suspected foul play and decided to check the vehicles. It is then that they found another pickup van in which dead bodies were kept covered in tarpaulin.

Arms and ammunition allegedly recovered from the spot
Manpeih, who shot the video of the truck with dead bodies, told India Today TV, "When we reached there, we saw an army pickup van filled with dead bodies, I was furious seeing that.".

Kyrie Irving Maintains Stance against Vaccination.
by Sis. Aisha
[Jamaat al-Muslimeen]

On December 17th, Brooklyn Nets General Manager Sean Marks reported that Kyrie Irving has been invited back to play with the Brooklyn Nets basketball team. Kyrie Irving has maintained his stance against getting the COVID-19 vaccination. New York State Law requires employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine in the private and government sectors. Although Kyrie Irving would be eligible to play for the Brooklyn Nets in sports arenas outside of New York State, the Nets did not want a part-time player and decided to prohibit him from playing, completely. But, now, that has all changed.

The Brooklyn Nets have been decimated with numerous players testing positive for COVID-19. They have resorted to playing rookies, pulling players from the NBA G-league (minor league), and overplaying their starting players until they're exhausted. So, the Nets caved in and have decided that, in spite of the fact that Kyrie would only be available part-time, they need him in order to maintain their top position in the Eastern Conference.

General Manager Sean Marks says that the players support the move. Kyrie Irving has to submit a round of five negative test results for COVID-19 before being allowed to play. He would also have to get into playing shape and rebuild chemistry with his teammates.

This is how voracious an appetite sports team owners have for winning! The National Football League (NFL) has drafted college football players accused of heinous crimes against women just to win. Unfortunately, it has not worked out for NFL players taking a moral stance, such as Colin Kapaernick. The NFL and White Middle American fans are still seething with anger for his kneeling during the National Anthem in protest against a corrupt criminal court system.

The Brooklyn Nets never, publicly, maligned Irving but he was unfairly criticized by the likes of comedian Chris Rock and former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy. Also, there is a Pfizer, Inc "Don't Miss Your Shot" public announcement with fellow teammate Bruce Brown stating he got vaccinated to help his team.

Of course, Kyrie Irving was destined to come back. It is not as if he was making a statement against Zionism or in support of the Uyghur Muslims (the Brooklyn Nets are owned by billionaire Joseph Tsai). The Brooklyn Nets' only concern now is how will Kyrie Irving fit in with the team?

The Rise and Fall of Shi'ism

Ithna Asharis, Ismailis and Zaydis and many others....
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD

Shiism is a concocted religion which did not exist during the time of the Prophet, pbuh, and the khulafa-e-rashidoon.

The Qur'an does not recognize Shi'ism and does not mention Ali and Fatima, r.a. It severely condemns breakaway groups and insists on Muslim unity. The Qur'an recognizes the name MUSLIM but does not recognize Shi'a.

Since the Qur'an does not recognize Ali and Fatima, r.a., to base a religion on reverence for Ali and his family is a clear violation of the Qur'an.

In fact the Shias themselves are deeply divided over their religion.

The Twelvers [Ithna Asharis] claim 12 imams starting with Ali and ending with a child who might have or not have existed and who according to the Ithna Asharis disappeared about 1200 years ago. They are waiting for him to come back and fill the world with justice. Again this belief about a 12th imam returning is a baseless belief which is a clear violation of the Qur'an.

The Seveners or Ismailis broke away from Ithna Asharis after the 6th Ithna imam. They became the supporters of the idea that instead of waiting for the hidden imam, they have a Hazar Imam, the living incarnation of Ali. This of course is an absurd belief which has not the slightest basis in the Qur'an or even in hadith. The Ismailis were the first terrorists and helped the European crusaders by attacking the leaders of the Muslim world including Salahuddin Ayyubi. A sub-sect of Ismailis attacked the Kaaba itself and stole the Black Stone till they were forced to return it.

Today the Ismaili leader is called Agha Khan, and lives the life of a playboy in Paris. He supports the western powers directly and indirectly against all anti-western Islamic movements.

The third major branch of Shi'ism are the Zaydis. They are closest to the Sunnis and they accept Abu Bakr, Umar and Usman, r.a., as legitimate Caliphs although they too think that Ali, r.a., was better than them. They were the only Shias who insisted on jihad against the kings but the Ithna Asharis did not support them and insisted on peaceful means.

ALL THESE WERE POLITICAL MOVEMENTS which morphed into a religion now called Shiism. Neither Ali, nor Fatima, nor Hasan, nor Husain, r.a., taught anything called Shiism. They were staunch supporters of Abu Bakr, Umar and Usman, r.a., and never abused or insulted them or called them usurpers.

Smaller Shia subs sects are very abusive of the Companions or the Sahaba, r.a., of Muhammad, pbuh. They have concocted huge numbers of narratives which they call "hadith" to insult the sahaba,r.a. [We have seen examples of this abuse ]

There are Shia sects which claim that Ali was god, or that by looking on the face of Ali one looks at the "face" of god. Some even claim that the angel mistook Muhammad, pbuh, for Ali! Or that Ali was born in the Kaaba and was therefore superior to Muhammad, pbuh. Or that Ali was mentioned in the Qur'an but Usman, r.a., removed it.

A Jew named Ibn Saba played an important role in spreading these ideas about the supernatural status of Ali, r.a and of his family.

The followers of Ibn Saba fabricated stories to create permanent hatred between Shias and the Muslim majority.

Among these is the claim that Fatima, r.a., was the Prophet's, pbuh, only daughter and that Umar,, r.a., was responsible for her death. Iran, even today, is repeating these fabrications. The Qu'ran itself says that the prophet, pbuh, had daughters [plural] which is authenticated by hadith. Ruqqaya, r.a., was most outstanding.

The slander on Umar, r.a., is absurd.. He was the prophet's greatest sahabi and sacrificed everything for Islam. He was a great friend of Ali, r.a., Fatima's husband. Ali was the greatest fighter at that time and he is not reported by anyone to have felt that his wife was threatened by Umar, r.a.
The slander has worked and Iran continues to repeat this fake hate message.

"As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did."

The Qur'an 6:159

Why do thousands of Indian housewives kill themselves every year?
BBC December 16

According to the recently released data by the government's National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), 22,372 housewives took their own lives last year - that's an average of 61 suicides every day or one every 25 minutes.

Housewives accounted for 14.6% of the total 153,052 recorded suicides in India in 2020 and more than 50% of the total number of women who killed themselves.

And last year was not an exception. Since 1997 when the NCRB started compiling suicide data based on occupation, more than 20,000 housewives have been killing themselves every year. In 2009, their numbers rose to 25,092.

Reports always blame such suicides on "family problems" or "marriage related issues". But what really does drive thousands of women to take their lives?

Mental health experts says a major reason is rampant domestic violence - 30% of all women told a recent government survey that they had faced spousal violence - and the daily drudgery that can make marriages oppressive and matrimonial homes suffocating.

Trump Bandies About Anti-Semitic Tropes In Interview With Israeli Reporter
HuffPost
December 17, 2021, 5:40 PM

Former President Donald Trump made a jaw-dropping series of anti-Semitic claims about Jewish Americans controlling institutions of government and media in a new interview where he said evangelical Americans "love Israel more than the Jews in this country."

"It used to be Israel had absolute power over Congress, and today I think it's the exact opposite," he said.

Trump had been speaking to Barak Ravid, an Israeli journalist for Axios who wrote a book on Trump's Middle Eastern policies. Ravid discussed his conversation with the former president on a podcast called "Unholy: Two Jews on the News," which aired a clip of the interview Friday.

Trump started speaking first about his father, saying Fred Trump "was very close with many Jewish people" due to his work in the New York City real estate industry. He then suggested that American Jews used to have "a great love of Israel" and that this has "dissipated over the years."

"I must be honest. It's a very dangerous thing that's happening," Trump said. "People in this country that are Jewish no longer love Israel."

He went on: "I'll tell you, the evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews in this country."

"It used to be Israel had absolute power over Congress," Trump said. "And today I think it's the exact opposite. And I think Obama and Biden did that. And yet in the election, they still get a lot of votes from Jewish people, which tells you that the Jewish people ― and I've said this for a long time ― the Jewish people in the United States either don't like Israel or don't care about Israel."

Many evangelicals support Israel because they believe it is central to a Biblical prophecy foretelling the apocalypse, which they welcome in the belief it will reunite them with Christ.

However, Trump's comments echo claims made in 2019, when, as president, he said Jews who vote for Democrats show "great disloyalty" to Israel. He earned criticism at the time from a Jewish advocacy group that said it was "a form of anti-Semitism" to suggest that Jewish Americans are not full Americans.

The idea that Jewish people supposedly control global politics and culture at the expense of non-Jews is a common, centuries-old anti-Semitic trope.

But Trump was not done.

"I mean, you look at The New York Times ― The New York Times hates Israel. Hates 'em. And they're Jewish people that run The New York Times. I mean, the Sulzbergers," Trump said. (Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. was the longtime chairman of The New York Times Company; he was succeeded by his son, A.G. Sulzberger. They have Jewish ancestry but, according to the Times of Israel, some descendants were raised Protestant.)

"Unholy" host Jonathan Freedland said Trump's comments were rife with "classic anti-Semitic tropes" and "a whole lot of negative stereotypes about Jews."

"This is the guy who, after white supremacists went on the march in Charlottesville, said there were 'very fine people on both sides,'" Freedland said.

Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt summed it up neatly, saying on CNN Trump's comments "fall somewhere between stunning and stupid."

 Special Dua

What does Prayer Do?
by Imam Badi Ali

As-slamu alaikum,
When the time for prayer came, the Prophet (pbuh) would say to Bilaal (ra): "O Bilaal! Establish the prayer! Comfort us with it!"
[Abu Daawood]

Therefore, prayer comforts one's soul and is a source of tranquility and assurance, and the heart cannot find this anywhere else.
So Salah is peace!
Worries end when salah begins.
When your aim is to touch the sky, first put your forehead on the ground in Sujood.
Ya Allah, accept our prayers and forgive our sins before we return to you. Ameen.

"Modern" Culture the Biggest Threat to Health: Dr. Javed Jamil

"Market driven Healthcare system ignores natural prevention and insists on artificial prevention."

By Staff Reporter

Dr. Javed Jamil has called upon the world to use Health as the most important criterion for judging what is right and what is wrong. Dr. Jamil, renowned thinker and writer and Chair in Islamic Studies & Research", Yenepoya University, Mangalore was delivering a lecture on "Socio-cultural Issues and their Impact on Health" in a programme organized by the St Aloycious Degree College, Mangalore.

He said that society and culture all over the world are now being shaped in varying degrees by the do-called Modernism, which is nothing but a market sponsored system to "market not only the human needs but also the human susceptibilities". He said that they first maket the "causes of the Problems" and then market the "Solutions of the Problems". He emphasized that the rise of "Economic Fundamentalism" in 18th Century onwards has been responsible for the "commercialization of human weaknesses" with hugely dangerous consequences.

"They first started working on a God-free society because "fear of God" is the largest impediment in the way of succumbing to weaknesses", he explained. He said that they used theoretical physicists to convince the world that the universe got created without Gid. "They tried to make the world believe about a huge plan without a planner, a hugely vast construction without a builder, a massive design without a designer, a vast system without anyone governing it, the emergence of highly advanced physics and mathematics without anyone knowing mathematics and physics, then chemistry, biology and cosmology without any biologist, chemistry expert and cosmologist anywhere.

Then they started a systematic disintegration of family system, which "they thought was the biggest obstacle in the commercialization of sex and other addictions". He said that alcohol and free sex have become the biggest causes of death in the world. Citing various statistics, he told that more than 38 million people have died of AIDS in last 30 years and it still continues to be a big killer. He told that homosexuality, promiscuity and prostitution are the major reasons in the same order for the Mortality and Morbidity due to Sex Transmitted Diseases and "yet they are not only allowed, but also glorified, commercialized and globalised" by the market-driven system.

Dr. Jamil told that around 120 million babies are killed by way of abortion and yet rather than this genocide becoming a big human rights issue, 'right to abortion' is defended as a "Human Right". "While death sentence to a mass murderer is opposed in the name of the right to life, these babies do not have the right to live because they are the biggest hindrance in the commercialization of sex and the so called freedom of women," he argued.

He said that "ironically, while babies are killed in the wombs of mothers, ventilators are put even on 90 plus people who have hardly any chances of surviving, and are often already dead". "Both ventilators and abortions bring huge profits to the Healthcare market." He said that on the one hand, drugs are openly sold and then drug rehabilitation centres are established because both will bring money. "If there are no diseases, the healthcare market will not prosper", he argued.

He said that the modern system in not interested in Natural Prevention but in Artificial Prevention. While alcohol, promiscuity, smoking, gambling are marketed with great fanfare, emphasis is laid on condoms, vaccines and rehabilitation if needed. Peope are not told to avoid dangerous substances and practices but to use artificial means to reduce the chances of adverse effects, he argued.

Dr. Jamil argued that family system is the biggest safety wall against diseases and killings like abortions and rapes. He said that disintegration of family system has become the order of the day, and now in Western countries 40-60 percent children are born out of wedlock and 60-80 percent children have to live with single parents.

He said that "Freedom of Women" is nothing but "Freedom to men to enjoy them and freedom to market to exploit them, women and children being the major sufferers". It is women who have to become preganant and then abort and in most cases they are the single parents looking after their children. "Freedom of Choice has become the biggest tool in the hands of the market forces", he went on to explain.

He said that in principle "Freedom of Choice" is a good concept but giving dangerous choices to the people is the most lethal abuse of this concept. He said that if Covid has caused massivee impact in the most advanced regions of the world including America and Europe, one big reason is their night life, full of partying, sex and drinking and gamblibg, and absence of strong family system. He argued that the market including the healthcare industry does not want total prevention of diseases and are just interested in keeping diseases especially pandemics within the manageble limits so that they can take maximum advantage out of it.

Dr. Jamil called upon all the religions to play their roles effectively in countering the concepts, policies and programs that seriously endanger "life and healthiness of life". He emphasised that Health must become the biggest and unbreachable criterion in determining the policies, programmes and laws regarding substances and practices. He argued that instead of just focusing on Fundamental rights, the focus should be on Three-Dimensional System of Rights, Duties and Prohibitions. This alone can make society healthy and peaceful, he argued.

Dr Jamil laid great stress on the need of all religions to "unite on the ground of common religious morality rather than fighting and hating on the ground of Religious Identity". In reply to a question, he argued that communalism has little to do with religion and is the product of "Political Fundamentalism", which tries to use the sentiments of the people for political gains. In reply to another question he explained that all religions largely speak against harmful substances and practices and in favour of strong family system but in Islam, there are specific guidelines in a codified manner regarding all these issues. In reply to yet another question, he said that he is neither in favour of a very early marriage nor in favour of a late marriage. 20 to 25 years is the ideal period for merriage, he said.

He explained that morality is of three types - religious, scientific and commercial. While religious morality and scientific morality more or less conform to each other, commercial morality is highly different. What is bad in religion is proved to be bad by health sciences. But commercial morality is interested in money only and is dangerous for health and peace.
