PRESIDENT
BUSH
and
ISNA
WORKING TOGETHER TO "CHANNEL" MUSLIM CHARITY:
The so-called Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) has sent out a
letter signed by its Vice President, Dr. Ingrid Mattson, which suggests
that ISNA will be working with the Bush administration to channel Muslim
charities. This move is significant because the Bush administration has
closed down Muslim charities suspected of funneling funds to Muslims
independently of the American government's pleasure or displeasure. In a
number of cases, Muslim charities, such as global, Benevolence and even
the innocuous Holy Land Foundation, are being connected to or suspected of
links to "terrorism." (A Bush-Ashcroft code word for Islamic movements.)
The ISNA letter with Ingrid Mattson's signature on it states:
"Immediately following the Convention, ISNA President Muhammad Nur
Abdullah and I met with President Bush to discuss concerns of the
American
Muslim community. We were especially concerned to raise the ongoing
issue of Islamic charities and asked President Bush to clarify the
administration's
stance. As a result, the White House has extended a hand to ISNA to
discuss the steps needed to ensure that American Muslims can continue to
fulfill
their moral and religious obligation to share their wealth to the poor
and needy of the community."
[The grammatical error, "share their wealth to the poor...," is
in the original.]
As the
African
experience shows, the imperialists destroy all
independent movements and then send in their favored people to
distribute "charity."

CAIR's
HOOPER PLEASED WITH BUSH: Br. Eric Mueller replies:
After CAIR and
AMC
repeatedly begged President Bush to respond to
Falwell's attack on the Prophet (pbuh), after much hesitation, Bush
threw them a bone. They immediately picked it up and started telling the
Muslim
communities (reverse ‘da'wah again), that Bush is a friend of Islam.
Here is Br. Eric Mueller's response (from Texas) to Hooper of CAIR:
["I have just heard from Amman, that brother Laith
Shubeilat has been released by the Jordanian
authorities this evening. Obviously the repression on
the part of that regime has not ended, however, and
people might be interested to keep an eye on
developments there.]
"Also, I have seen in the last couple days how Bush has
criticized the bigoted
anti-Islamic
statements of Christian
Zionist
evangelists. Ibrahim Hooper of Cair welcomed Bush's remarks.
In my opinion that welcome was sickening. Hooper should have said:
"We Muslims know, Mr. Bush, that you criticise Falwell
and Robertson for their words because they won't help
you as you set out to commit mass murder of Muslims in
Iraq,
having drenched yourself in the blood of
Afghans,
Yemenis, Somalis,
Lebanese,
Palestinians,
and 1.75 million Iraqis. Falwell and Robertson's bigotry
serves to expose your homicidal intent, so naturally
you'd prefer that they keep quiet. We believe that
the barefaced
Zionist
propaganda spouted by those
evangelists is far less dangerous than your bombs, and
far more honest than your claims to love and respect
the innocents you are about to kill."
wa-s-salam!
Eric Mueller
-----------------------------------------
Falwell's remarks were also condemned by the
ADL,
the biggest anti-Islam,
anti-people Jewish organization in America. Falwell had come out too
openly with what remains usually unsaid by the Zionists. CAIR and all were
trying to
hand Bush an easy propaganda victory to prove his love for Islam.
Falwell and
Robertson are so dear to Bush that it took him weeks to look at the
grovelling of CAIR. He still refused to criticise Falwell etc by name.

RESPONSES TO OUR REPORT ON AIMIL KANSI's EXECUTION:
NEGATIVES first:
1. From an
anti-Hadith
writer on WideMinds' list:
-------------------------------------------------------
"Friends,
Now we know that Islam believes in indiscriminate killings - we take
our cue from how our enemies behave and not from our own values. From
all we know those killed could be working for a non related branch of
the
CIA.
What if they were just visiting?
Congratulations
Mr Kaukab
for highlighting your version of Islam."
Mubashir
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2. From Dr. Muqtedar Khan on PIDL's list:
"KSidd wrote:
'The faces in
Pakistani
regimes keep changing, but one factor remains
constant: the secularized, "lick-America's-boots" mentality which is
willing to sell Pakistan for dollars.'
Well if cooperation with the US means "selling Paksitan to the US" how
do we understand your abandonment of Pakistan and settling in the enemy
country?
"selling yourself?" At least they stay "at home" and face the
challenges day
in and day out, while you live a comfortable life in heart of the
enemy."
M. A. Muqtedar Khan, Ph.D.
------------------------------------------------
3. From Tsied Neila on WideMinds list.
"So, I suppose that the people that he killed and injured were little
more than rats in the view of most Muslims. After all, they were
Americans, non-Muslims, workers for the CIA. Who cares about them.
If this is what a "True Muslim" is, then Islam is condenmed to be
destroyed. I just hope that this is not true.
And if Allah is just, then Mr. Kasi is now in the eternal hellfire."

POSITIVE RESPONSES:
1. From a New Trend reader in Florida:
Assalaamu alaikum...
Mashallah, at the least brother Aimal, unlike sooooo many others, did not
cower in front of the infidels and claim that he was a flag-waving
stars and
stripes supporter and try to gain the sympathy and money of US Muslims
by claiming that he was framed and duped.
He stood his ground, staked his claim and did not back down - he deserved
more support from the Ummah than those who they instead usually choose to
rally around - those who feigned innocence and waste/wasted everyone's
time and money. My question is: What 'innocence' are they claiming???
Innocence
from standing up for Allah?? Of course I am not referring to those who
actually didn't do anything (due to either lack of opportunity or lack
of backbone).
If you are going to stand up for Allah, do so proudly and with conviction -
don't just do it as long as you can get away with it without being caught.
Allahma ansur almujahideena fi sabeelak fi kuli makaan. May Allah accept our
shuhuda and have Mercy upon our dead. and... may Allah grant us all
some backbone....Ameen!
wasalaam,
Um Ahmad
--------------------------------------------------------
2. Reader from UK on WideMinds list:
USA is trying to bully, coerce, enslave, kill, assassinate those who
disagree with USA's policies.
Br Mubashir Inayet wants everyone to accept the rule of self-styled
"President" Bush.
In reality, there will always be people who will refuse to be slaves. Br
Mubahsier Inayet has willingly accepted to be a slave of USA and he
invites Br Kaukab to accept the diktat of Bush and his gang.
May Allah (SWAT) shower his blessings on MIR AIMAL KASI. Ameen
Shaikh Mohommad

3. From Jummy Jumshade, a reader on Wideminds list (expletives deleted)
from Texas:
[In response to #3 in negative list:]

do not want to be f....d back. & if you are f....d back...it is your
own fault........& as they say in TEXAS.......You got it
coming.....Dude !!!!!!!!!!! What else can I say to make you
