U.S.
Fires 40 Missiles in Attempt to Kill Saddam
Hussain
March 19: At about 9.45 PM Eastern Standard
Time,
CNN
and other U.S. TV
channels reported missile attacks on Baghdad. By
10.30 PM the reports stated
clearly that at least 40 tomahawk missiles and at
least one bunker buster
bomb had hit Baghdad in an attempt to kill
"targets of opportunity." It was
evidently an attempt to kill the President of
Iraq and four other leaders.
-------------------------------------------------------------
At 12.30 A.M. EST, March 20, President Saddam
Hussain came LIVE on IRAQI TV
to urge the people to stand united and alert. His
iron will was evident, as he
spoke wearing military uniform and reading with
the help of glasses. His
call: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar." He condemned
the
U.S-Zionist
alliance and
hailed the people of Iraq and
Palestine.
He
called on the people to be ready
for Jihad. As he turned the pages of the
statement he read, his hand did not
shake or tremble.
--------------------------------------------
Obviously, THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT IN WHICH 40
MISSILES and a BUNKER BUSTER
were used, has FAILED.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISINFORMATION AS A WEAPON: Tariq Aziz Refutes
Story
On March 19, an story was put out that the
Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq
Aziz had defected. Tariq Aziz came on Iraqi TV to
refute the story. He said,
this kind of disinformation will probably
continue. {If Iraqi TV had been
knocked out, this kind of story would have been
effective.}
[Christians like Aziz have great respect in Iraq.
The U.S.
media
do not
report on Christian community in Iraq so that
demonization propaganda against
Saddam may not be affected.]
ANOTHER STORY WAS PUT OUT THAT SAUDI ARABIA has
asked Saddam to take refuge
there. By the evening of March 19, Saudi Arabia
had refuted the story.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUNNY SIDE TO WAR: Karzai's "government" (in
Kabul) has offered the U.S.
support in its war on Iraq. Karzai is listed as
"Afghanistan"
in the list of
"pro" countries issued by the U.S.

LATEST ANTI-WAR PROTESTS IN CHICAGO
THE WAR HAS STARTED! 100 BOMBS WERE DROPPED TODAY
[PLUS THE CASE OF Dr. SAMIRAH]
by our representative Ather Masood
The media refuses to elaborate on what has
transpired today.
The following events with regards to Iraq has
happened:
1. President
Bush
HAS ALREADY authorized war
through Vice President Cheney.
2. America troops have ALREADY crossed the border
from Kuwait into Southern
Iraq.
3. U.S. and British bombers dropped over one
hundred, laser-guided, 2,000
lbs bombs all over Southern Iraqi battle
stations. The number of casualties
are not yet know.
PROTEST IN RAVENSWOOD COMMUNITY.
On Saturday, March 17, one of the most
well-known Chicago area communities
protested against the upcoming war. In the
neighborhood of the newly
elected governor of Illinois, an estimated
100-200 anti-war protestors
flocked to Wells-Park carrying signs and chanting
against the war. The
unique gathering was composed of local
volunteers, War- veterans who choose
to come out despite feeling backlash, students,
and even the Alderman. The
funny thing about this incident was that the
Alderman was confronted by
local police officers who did not recognize their
own Alderman. If these
police officer do not even know their own
Alderman can they really
differentiate between Osama Bin-Laden, Saddam
Hussein, or even a person of
color? The police were shocked to learn of the
Alderman from the very
community
of the Governor.
That very same evening, thousands of people
marched towards the Ravenswood
neighborhood once again to hold a candlelight
vigil to protest American
Imperialism. Adjacent area-living residents in
joined Ravenswood residents
turned out to continue the protest. This time
with about 1,000-2,000
participants from Middle-upper class backgrounds.
The entire spectacular
event was made possible by Ms. Julie Peterson
whose website link is:

On March 18, Sunday an estimated 9-10,000 Anti
war marchers lined the
Federal Plaza in downtown. Muslims, Christians,
Jews, Vietnam war veterans,
Native-Americans, Mexican-Activists,
African-American activists and many
others joined forces to completely halt downtown
activity.
Joan Baez, the legendary singer, organized a
successful gathering that
included people from
every aspect of American life. The major streets
in downtown Chicago were
completely flooded with protestors, some coming
from as far away as
California just to protest Bush's policy. Well
known Professor of Civil
Rights Barak Obama denounced President Bush's war
which totally disregards
public opinion in the entire world.
SHOOTING AT MOSQUE
On March 11, 2003 the Villa Park Masjid was
attacked by random vandals who
launched a projectile into the front windows.
Even though several
individuals were praying at the time, the
assailant shattered the front
glassed-windows and was able to escape. Let it be
known the Villa Park
Masjid was one of the few places that invited
Dr. Siddique
to speak on
various subjects regarding the Muslim community.
At this point, police have
been unable to apprehend any suspect. The Villa
Park area in Illinois has
been known to be a place frequented by white
supremacists for a LONG time.
However, the overwhelming number of people there
support, stand with, and
appreciate the Muslims in that community.
IN DEFENSE OF DR. SABRIH SAMIRAH
As we all know now, Dr. Samirah was denied entry
into America from Ireland.
Despite living a life of complete activism and
self-sacrifice from the
Muslim community. Dr. Samirah ALWAYS was seen at
every Muslim event. Always
helping, striving, and appreciating Muslims from
all walks of life. He was
most involved with being a liaison between
Muslims, Arab-Americans, and even
Non-Muslims and various elected officials. IT IS
A SHAME THAT DESPITE THE
FACT EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL KNEW THE BROTHER, ALL
KEPT THEIR MOUTH SHUT WHEN
HE WAS PUSHED INTO CRISIS.
Now the
media
is trying to defame Dr. Samirah's
academic reputation. Quite
recently media moguls have tried to question
whether the brother earned
credible degrees in college. To this we ask the
question what does this have
to do with his denial of entry? Why was he denied
entry at this time? In the
end the removal of Dr. Samirah from these shores,
is an attempt to destroy
any Muslim in leadership. We are being placed
into a situation where any
Muslim speaking up will be COINTELPROED out of
town.
A WORD OF CAUTION TO ALL MUSLIMS.
We must be aware that many so-called "Muslims,"
are being used by Mr.
Ashcrofft to spy, report, slander, and eventually
destroy Muslims in this
nation. We need to advise our Muslim community,
Pro-war activists, and
families (bad and good) to become aware of those
representatives in the
mass-media or government being used to spy and
destroy Muslims attempting to
stand for the freedoms and rights. Do not accept
interviews with people who
you do not know. Question interviewers from the
media or from the police
before they question you. REMEMBER! YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO TALK TO THE FBI. Tell
them to speak to your attorney.

MUSHARREF of
Pakistan,
MUBARAK
of
Egypt
are Part
of War on Muslims
[From Shaikh Mohommed, our representative in
London, England]
Well, the die is cast and occupation of Iraq will
commence. This is not a
war because there is no Army in Iraq which will
make a stand. Iraq has no
WMD/chemical weapons. This is not a commencement
of an attack because attack
by US/British planes have been continuing under
the so-called “no-fly zone”.
We know that Baghdad and other cities will be
bombarded and Iraqi populations
will be the target. Before they commence
occupation of Iraq, they will make
sure that Iraqi cities and towns will be
devastated and destroyed. Then only
and only then will US and British forces enter
Iraq.
We should in the meantime hold fast to our
religion (Islam) and pray that
Allah (SWAT) helps us in this difficult time. We
should also use our energy
in demonstrating and marching and doing any
activity however little to expose
the aggression against the people of Iraq and
also expose the stooges ruling
over Islamic countries. General Musharraf of
Pakistan, President Mubarak of
Egypt, and other Governments are helping USA to
kill Iraqis and Palestinians
and it is our duty to bring these Governments to
account.
Time is not far when the might of USA will be
defeated as it was defeated in
Vietnam.
Inshallah.
Shaikh Mohommad
