"Do not Imitate the Unbelievers." [Hadith] Many Muslims take it literally.
Many, or most, Muslims don't know that Eid al-Adha also
requires Local Sighting.
By Kaukab Siddique, PhD
Converts to Islam sometimes think that they should dress
like Arabs or Pakistanis or Afghans.
In the time of the Prophet, pbuh, generally people dressed
alike. The Muslims were humble
and simple in their clothing. There was no complex
difference.
American Muslims don't have to dress like Arabs.
Ibn Taymiyyah [1263-1328] explained it best. Do not imitate
the thinking of the unbelievers and their mental/cultural
constructs.
For instance, the thinking of the unbelievers is reflected
in imperialism,
Zionism and racism. Do not think that brutality and love of
wealth and considerations of color are Important.
Gender is not the standard of superiority. If a woman knows
the Qur'an better than I do, then I must listen, respect and
accept.
Listening to what is good is essential. In America listening
is scarce even at the university level.
Loving and caring for your own nation is fine as long as one
does not go into forbidden activities like drinkimg and
gambling.
A novel which cleverly Supported War in Afghanistan
The Kite Runner
{From New Trend research.]
According to CNN, July 14, Khalid Husseini, who lives in
California is celebrating the emergence of his daughter,
aged 21, as a trans person.
"The Messenger of Allah, pbuh, cursed the
women who imitate men and the men who imitate women."
[Hadith at-Tirmidhi, from Ibn Abbas, #2784]
From his name, it would appear that Husseini is a Shia
Muslim. In Islam be it Shia or Sunni, there is no acceptance
of trans. People are born male or female.
CNN praised Husseini because he is famous for his book The
Kite Runner. Why did he become famous?
His book was used to justify America's war against the
Taliban which went on for twenty years and ended last year
with the victory of the Taliban.
The central villain in the Kite runner is a psychopath who
supports the Taliban. The depictions attributed to this
villain are so graphic that conservative American groups
wanted the book to be banned.
However the Zionist media acclaimed the Kite Runner from
coast-to-coast so that it became world famous.
Not only were the Taliban painted as homosexuals and rapists
but as mentally deranged. They were even shown as supporters
of Hitler!
Most Americans would not know that the Taliban consider
homosexuals and rapists as disgusting and abhorrent.. They
would not know about Hitler. [It is amazing that Husseini
made that claim.]

A second commander of a group supporting Turkey has also

Earlier on July 12 a top leader of ISIS was killed in a US

of the US before the arrival of the US president in the
Middle East.

Are Arab Muslims Accepting "Israel?"
Illusion or Reaity?
.'The western powers are under the impression that Muslim
countries have accepted Israel as a legitimate entity.
Legitimacy in Islam comes by mutual consultation and
consent.
None of the rulers of Muslim countriee have asked the people
they rule if they want to accept Israel as a legitimate
entity.
Egypt, the most important Muslim Arab country, has
brutally crushed all dissent and all criticism. The tyrant
who rules Egypt has killed several thousand unarmed
Egyptians and has arrested several thousands of defenseless
people.
The duly elected leader of Egypt, Dr
Muhammad Morsi, was imprisoned by the tyrant and left to die
in prison. General Sisi, the tyrant, has accepted Israel and
works in tandem with Israel to crush the people of Gaza. He
is supported by America with weapons, funds and intelligence
agencies.
{In the Sinai Islamic fighting forces are challenging the
regime. So, reality is just beginning.]
Saudi Arabia.
Islam does not permit tribal power to control a country and
claim that it is the power in charge of the holy cities of
Islam.
There is nothing in the Qur'an or the hadith which would
legitimize Makka and Madina as entities ruled by a family.
Other than brutal power and murderous tyranny, there is
nothing Islamic in the Saudi ruling family. Tremendous oil
wealth has made it possible for the Saudi family to do what
it wants.
What the Saudis did to journalist Khashoggi is only a sample
of what the tyrants in control of Arabia can do to
critics.
Islam coming out of Arabia is nothing more than the power
surge of the Saudi family.
"Do not ask for a position of authority. If it is given to
you as a result of your asking for it, you will be left to
deal with it on your own without divine support; if it is
given to you without your asking for it, you will be helped
by Allah." [Prophet Muhammad, pbuh] [Bukhari and
Muslim.]

Bahrain has no legitimacy other than as a base for the US navy.

Jamaate Islami Wants Peaceful Transformation.
by Qaiser Sharif
Dir Upper: July 16: Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has
said those who remained in power for years should narrate
their performance instead of making new hollow claims.
The PML-N, the PPP and the PTI could not deliver despite
being in power, he added while addressing local government
representatives of the JI in Dir Upper on Saturday.
He said the dictators and so-called democratic parties
destroyed the 75 years of Pakistan, putting the country on
reverse gear.
It was because of the rulers that country lost its half
part, he said, adding Pakistan was inching towards crises
with every day passing. Today, he said, the national economy
was on the verge of collapse, hours long load shedding
hitting hard the poor masses who were even deprived of basic
facilities.
"Masses must think who is responsible for their plight."
The rulers should tell the people why millions of children
were out of schools and why even basic health facilities
were unavailable to the majority, he said.
Sirajul Haq said the mafias and feudal lords had made the
people hostages for years. They invest on major political
parties and reclaim their capital with heavy interest after
every election, he said, adding the dirty game continued for
decades.
He said the JI fought for long years against interest-based
economy and when the Federal Shariah Court decided in favor,
the government challenged the decision through the State
Bank before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The government,
he said, was now seeking 20 years to introduce ribe free
banking and financial system. He said the riba was war
against Allah Almighty but the Muslims rulers of Islamic
Democratic Pakistan wanted to continue the war for two
decades.
The JI chief said the country needed capable and honest
leadership. Without getting rid of the tested faces and
warders, no change could come, he added.
"I appealed to the people to choose JI over the tested
parties. If voted to power, the JI would transform Pakistan
into welfare Islamic state."
State of Religious Minorities in India
by IAMC
The Hindu right-wing orchestrated brutal violence against
Muslims during the Hindu festival of Ramanavami and the
subsequent police crackdown on Muslim victims, and use of
bulldozers to destroy Muslim homes and livelihoods in states
ruled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi'ss Bhartiya Janata
Party (BJP) that peaked in April continued throughout
May.
Observers and human rights advocates assert that since the
PM Modi-led federal government came to power, its approach
toward its minorities especially Muslims have exacerbated
hatred and communal polarization. Many scholars and
activists have expressed concerns over the massive surge in
hate crimes and peaking of genocidal sentiment against the
Muslims.
This report examines and analyses the continued rise in hate
crimes, genocidal speeches, vandalism, destruction, and
assaults on the bodies and property of Muslims and
Christians during the month of May. This report also
chronicles the frequent assertion of Hindutva (Hindu
nationalist) groups over the historical architecture
preserved by the country's Archaeological Survey of India
(ASI), mainly mosques, which they falsely claim were temples
and purportedly destroyed by Muslim rulers in the past.
In addition, the role of the police over the years,
particularly in 2022, demonstrates the institutionalisation
of violence against Muslims. This report focuses further on
the police's role in not just downplaying violent attacks on
minorities but also actively participating in the acts of
violence. Discriminatory laws against Muslims have become
increasingly prevalent in states where the BJP is in power.
Minorities are being pushed to the side even more by the
aggressive use of laws that go clearly against the spirit of
the Indian constitution.

Victim of Zionism Released
by Mauri Saalakhan
ANOTHER POLITICAL PRISONER FREED!
A Good News Alert!!!
An unjustly prosecuted Palestinian Political Prisoner was
quietly released (and deported from the US) earlier this
month. Mohammad el Mezain was part of the "Holy Land Five" -
a group of Palestinian humanitarian relief workers who were
opportunistically targeted by the US government (post 9/11);
both in the name of a so-called "war on terrorism," and as a
favor to the Apartheid-Zionist State of Israel.
We were present and helped to mobilize community support for
the brothers during their trials (the first ended in a hung
jury). We also wrote about the case in "The Palestinians'
Holocaust: American Perspectives" (published 1429 AH/2008
CE).
dAt the time of the Israeli-instigated, US-orchestrated
prosecutorial witch-hunt, the Holy Land Foundation was the
largest Muslim-led humanitarian relief organization in
America; engaged in exemplary work around the world (not
just in Muslim majority lands)!
Welcome back to freedom Mohammad el Mezain. Amerikkka's loss
is Turkiye's gain:)!

We Stand with Uighur Chinese Muslims.
[Excerpted from the Observer]
Islamic scholars and intellectuals gathered in Istanbul last
month for an international conference to highlight the
Uyghur genocide and to support their struggle with the
Chinese Communist Party.
"This weekend, Islamic scholars and intellectuals of the
Muslim world gathered in Istanbul for an international
conference that aims to introduce the #UyghurGenocide to the
Muslim World and to mobilize public opinion to support the
#Uyghurs in their struggle with #CCP. #ChinasWaronIslam,"
tweeted Center for Uyghur Studies (CUS).
The Center for Uyghur Studies provides strategic policy
recommendations and presents research reports to interfaith
entities, related international organizations and
governments on the people of East Turkistan/Xinjiang.
The Uyghurs are a predominantly Muslim minority Turkic
ethnic group, whose origins can be traced to Central and
East Asia. Their native region is considered to be the
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in the People's Republic
of China.
Xinjiang is technically an autonomous region within China.
The Uyghurs are Muslim, they don't speak Mandarin as their
native language, and have ethnicity and culture that is
different from that of mainland China.
Over the past few decades, as economic prosperity has come
to Xinjiang, it has brought with it in large numbers the
majority of Han Chinese, who have cornered the better jobs,
and left the Uyghurs feeling their livelihoods and identity
were under threat.
Several countries, including the US, Canada and the
Netherlands, have accused China of committing genocide -
defined by international convention as the "intent to
destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial
or religious group".
China has been forcibly mass sterilising Uyghur women to
suppress the population, separating children from their
families, and attempting to break the cultural traditions of
the group.
China denies all allegations of human rights abuses in
Xinjiang, claiming its system of "re-education" camps is
there to combat separatism and Islamist militancy in the
region.
Tigray are planning to separate from Ethiopia
Dr. T has sent an important video about Ethiopia and the
region around it.
Here are its main points.
Southern Sudan: USA has decided to suspend its aid because
there is seemingly no chance of unity between the warlords
of the south. Both are Christians but both are
locked in constant hostility and conflict.
In Eritrea there is no tolerance of criticism. The US
representative is leaving though the Eritreans were tolerant
of his criticism.
Most of the video is about Tigray region of Ethiopia. The
Tigray diaspora, that is Tigray people living in America are
holding a week long festival in Maryland and they plan to
launch a movement to secede from Ethiopia.
It appears that so many Tigrayans are in America that they
are working on launching a movement to separate their
region from Ethiopia. If they succeed, there would be major
changes in Ethiopia.
