"GREATER
ISRAEL"
Central to
American
War
Plans:
Islamic Leader Says
April 14: Before going to Hyderabad for
the mass march, Qazi Hussain
Ahmed, Jamaate Islami
Pakistan's
leader,
addressed thousands of people who
had gathered at Niazi Chowk, Daryabad, in the
Lyari area of Karachi. Here are
his main points:
1. The world of Islam has been traumatized by the
storm of fire and blood let
loose by the U.S. on Iraq, the land of Islamic
scholars and saints.
2. This is not aggression on Iraq alone but on
the entire world of Islam.
3. Central to the American plan is the creation
of "Greater Israel" and
control of the holy cities of Islam. In fact
Makka and Madina
are now in
danger. Colin Powell has said that the aim is to
reduce any danger to Israel.
4. America has not been victorious in
Afghanistan
or Iraq, because the
struggle will continue.
[In another rally in Karachi, thousands of
Pakistani children showed their
support for the children of Iraq who were
victimized
by the U.S. bombing.]

ABUSIVE
LETTERS
RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO
CONFIRMATION OF SADDAM HUSSAIN's
SHAHADAH in U.S. AIR STRIKE
Following our news item that President
Saddam Hussain had been
killed in a U.S. air strike, owing to treachery,
we received a number of
letters abusing Saddam. We were about to publish
these when our Islamic
resource persons told us that it is Haram to
publish abuse about a
shaheed.
Hence these letters are being withheld.
New Trend's sources indicate that even if a
person had done wrong all
his life, according to Islamic texts, his sins
are forgiven when he becomes
shaheed. Most sources agree that Saddam had
turned to Islam after 1991 and
all his wrongdoing was before that time.
The writers who have written letters of
abuse seem furious at having
been cheated of their fantasy that Saddam was a
coward and had run away
leaving his nation in the lurch.
In addition, we have received letters wanting
to know our source for the
confirmation of the President having been killed.
These same persons never
inquire of
CNN
and
BBC
for their sources. We in
NEW TREND have a great sense
of responsbility before Allah for all that we
publish. We have NEVER
published any fabrications or far fetched or
gossipy stories.
Following our report,
media
in Jordan and
France are moving to the same
conclusion.
In any case we are always open to
correction.
Insistence on knowing sources is not
recommended. As we know, the U.S.
targets alternative sources of information. Iraqi
TV was repeatedly bombed.
When it continued to survive, the electricity to
the entire city of Baghdad
was liquidated to stop Iraqi TV from being seen.
Later
Al-Jazira,
Abu Dhabi TV and the hotel
housing the entire press corp
not "embedded" with U.S. troops were attacked
with lethal results.

SADDAM HUSSAIN and IRAQ: NOT DEFEATED BUT
BETRAYED
[From Br. Eric Mueller in Texas]
as-Salam `alaykum!
The story you ran in New Trend on the treason by
Iraqi
commanders against their leaders is substantially
the
same as one that appeared on Sunday in the
Jordanian
mainstream paper ad-Dustour. Alas it is now off
the
internet.
A Lebanese paper, meanwhile, has published a
relatively long account that it credits to
American
government sources on the great betrayal in Iraq.
It
goes into considerable detail. See below.
Iraq was NOT defeated on the battlefield. It was
literally stabbed in the back. Those traitors
cut
cheap deals with the aggressors, they ORDERED the
Iraqi troops to GO HOME (even though the troops
had
kept the aggressor forces out of EVERY Iraqi city
until that point) and await orders for a BOGUS
offensive which of course never came. Then the
sell-outs gave directions where to bomb the
country's
leaders, and flew off to America!
We, the whole Muslim Ummah and all freedom loving
people have all been betrayed by that handful of
traitors.
wa-s-salam
