Our Children died without benefit of TV coverage on CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN
Dear Muslims
asalamu alaikum
On Eid ul-Adha, shed a tear for the children of the ummah. These are
not
politicians or components of any "axis of evil." These are the victims
of
evil emanating from the American power structure.
1. An estimated 60,000 Afghan civilians were killed in the heroic air
war
waged by the U.S. air force on the helpless people of Afghanistan. Of
these
4076 deaths have been documented. The rest remain buried in the mud
huts of
a nation devastated by 'daisy cutters', cruise missiles, 5000-pounders
and
bush specials. (A happy ramadan and happy two eids from Bush.) The
surviving
children of this assault will be traumatized forever.
2. According to CONSERVATIVE U.N. estimates, nearly a million children
have
died in Iraq owing to sanctions and embargo imposed by the U.S. and its
surrogates. These do not include the children of tens of thousands of
civilians killed in the 42 days of bombing by the U.S. and U.K. The
slow
deaths of a million children occurred because of pinpointed U.S.
attacks on
water purification plants, pharmacuticals and other health related
facilities
and the embargo on anything which can have a "dual use." (For
documentation
of U.S. war crimes in Iraq, read THE FIRE THIS TIME by Ramsey Clark
among
other books.)
3. PALESTINE is an ongoing tragedy. THE CHILDREN OF PALESTINE are being
traumatized every day by the Jews who have the most sophisicated
military
machine in the middle east. The Jews have slaughtered hundreds of
Palestinian
children FOR THROWING STONES AT THE TANKS of the occupation army.
Entire
Palestinian cities have become concentration camps run by Jewish Nazis.
4. There are 700,000 Indian troops in Kashmir holding down the people
by
brute force. Murder of civilians and rape of Muslim women is an ongoing
"methodology" used by the Indian army to subjugate and crush the
people.
Think of what the children of Kashmir are undergoing. Think of a son or
a
daughter whose mother has been raped and whose father has disappeared
into an
Indian army torture camp.
5. CHECHNYA. The Russians are committing genocide. Grozny is a city
destroyed
house by house to put an end to Islamic resistance. The CHECHENS DO NOT
CRY
but they have children. When will TV even mention this fact? Half a
million
Chechen refugees are in outlying "republics."
6. In SUDAN a systematic attempt has been underway to foster civil war
in the
south to drain the resources of Sudan. Poverty has been imposed on the
Sudan
owing to FIVE years of sanctions which destroyed the economy. The main
source
of medicines in Sudan was wiped out in a U.S. air strike. Again,
children are
the main victims in Sudan.
7. The children of Somalia are being punished because their fathers
drove out
the U.S. military. The basic MONEY TRANSFER system used by Somali
immigrants
overseas has been shut down owing to the "war on terrorism", thus
shutting
off the 50 to a hundred dollars A MONTH which thousands of Somali
families
used to receive from their relatives overseas.
Do we see the children of our UMMAH dying on TV? No. That would ruin
the
entire crusade against "evil."
Do we see the parents of our dead or dying children on TV? No. That
would
help Americans to understand that their government is committing crimes
against humanity.
EVER SEE A KASHMIRI OR CHECHEN CHILD ON TV? No. That would help the
American
people to see what the allies of the U.S. are doing to humanity.
Have you ever seen SUDANESE or SOMALI children on TV within their own
Islamic
context? No. That would destroy the entire missionary enterprise. (In
any
case Black Africans don't matter to the American power structure other
than
as recipients of missionary activity.)
Dear Muslims, our children have families! loved ones! (surprise?)
TV will not show these victims.
Let us not forget them on Eid.
{If you ever see one of our children on TV, let us know. That will be
journalism history.}
{The WASHINGTON POST has even claimed that Afghan families have
forgiven
Americans for bombing and killing their children because the bombing
and the
'liberation' were more important than the death of the children!}
Eid Mubarak!
