THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
Islamic volunteers are entering
Iraq.
The
U.S.
is stuck. The Iraqi
people oppose the U.S. This is not liberation:
never was. Let's bring the troops
home. Let the Islamic people have their way of
life and let us safeguard
America's freedoms from
Bush's
and Ashcroft's
power drive.

PERSECUTION OF MUSLIMS IN AMERICA is so
widespread that even listing the
names of the prisoners is not easy. Here are
some top political prisoners:
1. IMAM JAMIL Al-AMIN. America's Imam, railroaded
on trumped up charges of
murder. A man of peace, family life and
community. Sentenced to life.
2.
Dr. Omar ‘Abdel Rahman.
Top
Egyptian
spiritual
leader, scholar, orator,
teacher. Took refuge in America to avoid the
murderous regime of Hosni
Mubarak
but was put away for ever on ridiculous
conspiracy charges. Sentenced to life
and 65.
3. ‘Ahmed ‘Abdel Sattar. U.S. citizen of Egyptian
descent. Opponent of Hosni
Mubarak, defended Shaikh Omar. Major charges
dropped. Facing frivolous charges.
4. Prof. Sami Al-Arian, University Professor,
defended the cause of
Palestine. Arrested on absurd charges of being an
operative of Islamic Jihad.
5. Siddique Abdullah Hasan, African-American
Muslim who led a prison uprising
in Ohio. Sentenced to death though there is no
proof that he killed anyone.
[See link on our web site.]
6.
Sis. Haila Gabr,
the Yemeni teenager who
killed her rapist. Held in prison
for three years WITHOUT TRIAL; finally plea
bargained.
7.
Victor Alvarez,
Puerto Rican Muslim,
co-defendant in the case of Shaikh
Omar. He was sentenced to a long term owing to
guilt by association. He says he
is undergoing some kind of psychological torture
in prison.
8. 600-800 people in Guantanamo Bay. Probably all
innocent. Held without
trial, without attorney support, without charges.
Sold by "northern alliance" and
Pakistan's
Musharraf to the
CIA
9. Yemeni Muslims, U.S. citizens, of Buffalo,
New York. Convicted after plea
bargaining.
10. African-American Muslims (including a sister)
in Portland, Oregon. In the
process of plea bargaining.
11. An African-America brother in Colorado who
has plea bargained to help
convict a Muslim leader in UK.
12. Nine Muslims in Virginia, Br. Hammad
Abdur-Raheem, Br. Caliph, Br. Ismail
Royer and others being charged with links to
LASHKARE TAIBA in Pakistan. The
government seems interested in pressuring them to
work against other Muslims
or to pleas bargain.
13. Jose Padilla, facing fantasy claims of
preparing a "dirty bomb"
[Attorney General Ashcroft's tall claim]. Being
held on a brig, denied his rights as a
U.S. citizen to due process of law.
14.
John Walker Lindh.
["American Taliban"] Plea
bargained. Sentenced to 20
years.
[FOR PAKISTANI READERS: "Plea bargain" means that
the U.S. government
pressures the prisoners into admitting some of
the charges against them. The
prisoners are cut off from Muslim communities
{who are also frightened.) Then they are
told: We have evidence against you to sentence
you to life in prison or
death. No one is going to help you. You don't
have a chance. Accept some of the
lesser charges, work against other Muslims and we
will give you 20, or 15, or 10
or 5 years instead of life. PRISON BEFORE TRIAL
CAN GO ON for months,
sometimes years, to let the government pressure
the prisoners. Thus a lot of INNOCENT
PEOPLE have plea bargained. It also helps the
government to say: See! Didn't
we tell you that they are guilty?]

MORE ON BUSH VISIT TO SENEGAL:
Our Senegal sources tell New Trend that during
Bush's visit, just about all
of Dakar city was shut down. There was intense
security. Bush was NOT
INTERESTED AT ALL in the Senegalese people. He
was only looking for a military base on
the West African coast.
