[America's "justice" System: Jamaat al-Muslimeen's Shoora is studying
new
strategies following shocking guilty verdict on Imam Jamil al-Amin. It
seems
that big African American Muslim leaders played waiting role and took
no
decisive action to stop the injustice. One report says, defense counsel
made
a blunder. Jury was loaded against the Imam. (Report being prepared.) ]

AMERICAN TALIBAN Br. Sulayman (Walker) did not go to Afghanistan to
fight
America. We must stop his scapegoating. A protest RALLY is planned for

WAR NEWS: U.S. started withdrawing, after being beaten back, in Shahi
Kot
battle area near Gardez on March 10. By the end of the day, most U.S.
troops
had been withdrawn in a surprise move which puzzled the American public
still
unaware of the defeat. In an interview with ABC on March 10, Gen. Tommy
Franks was evasive and could not pinpoint any achievement of Operation
Anaconda (March 1-10).
The U.S. claims it lost only 9 killed and 40 injured plus 7 Afghan
mercenaries killed. Pakistani observers say U.S. losses were probably
nearer
a hundred killed. They point to the fact that the U.S. admits 6
helicopters
hit by ground fire and these were packed with troops. A U.S. soldier in
the
second phase of the offensive (March 6) referred to his troops "taking
casualties." {The 9 killed 40 injured were only during phase I, March
1-4.}
The U.S. media are still repeating stories about "hundreds" of Al-Qaida
and
Taliban killed but by some inner sense of lack of credibility have
brought
down the "600-700 killed" to about "500." NOT ONE body has been seen,
though
there is a claim that FIVE defenders were captured.
THE DEFENDERS, 100 strong, have suffered. Twenty five Afghan mujahideen
and
12 Chechens are reported martyred and their bodies have been brought
for
burial to Afghan villages below the mountain range. This is a heavy
loss for
a small force and came from the severe bombing: 1350 bombs were
dropped.
Meanwhile, there is a split in the Afghan mercenary forces. Those who
saw the
U.S. troops withdrawing have demanded that they be pulled out too.
U.S. forces seem to have lost morale in the fighting. They are
complaining of
severe cold ("water froze in canteens"), high altitude and "maniacal"
Islamic
defenders who come out of defensive positions to LAUGH at the U.S.
forces
when the U.S. gunfire misses. [LAUGHING MUJAHIDS who long for
al-Jannah:
That's quite demoralizing.]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN PALESTNE, Sharon's plan seems to be working. After slaughtering
defenseless people in a refugee camp, he's decided to let Arafat go and
talk
to other Arab "leaders". Arafat is part of the Mubarak, Saudi Abdullah,
Jordanian Abdullah, Syrian Bashar clique which wants to create a rump
state,
demilitarized and at Israel's mercy, to be called "PALESTINE."
The smooth transition was messed up by a martyrdom operation in
occupied
Jerusalem which killed 11 Jews and wounded 50. {The TV stations keep
calling
occupied Jerusalem, "Jerusalem" or even "Jerusalem in Israel." So much
for
accuracy in journalism!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARCH 11 is the 6 month anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. America's
trauma is
not going away with time. A nation which has never been attacked
continues
to count its wounds. It was a totally new experience.
THERE ARE TWO EXTREME VIEWS PREVALENT ABOUT 9/11. One comes from the
Muslim
world. It was started by Iranian al-Manar TV to the effect that the
attacks
were carried out by the Jews and that 4000 Jews did not turn up at WTC
on
that day. This story is very popular in the Muslim world. It amounts to
a
Muslim rejection of America as enemy. The Muslims do not want to hurt
America
and are shocked that America is blaming them for the attacks.
This CONSPIRACY THEORY was reinforced by White Supremacist groups who
spread
the idea that the attack was carried out by "remote controlled" planes
and
that explosives were placed within the WTC to implode the towers.
THE OTHER EXTREME is that of the Bush administration which claims that
OSAMA
BIN LADEN's people did it and the Islamists want to hurt AMERICA IN ITS
TOTALITY, that they want to kill and destroy at random, and that
BIOLOGICAL,
CHEMICAL and even NUCLEAR attacks are being planned by Al-Qaida. Every
American has to become aware of the impending danger and human and
civil
liberties have to be diluted and if necessary eliminated to save
America from
great danger, according to Bush and Ashcroft with Wolfowitz,
Krauthammer and
other Jews in the woodworks. [These are the arguments for the rapid
rise of
fascism.]
The truth is probably between the two extremes. Though no definitive
evidence
is available, it appears circumstantially that:
1. The attacks were carried out by an autonomous Islamic cadre. Their
secrets
went with the attackers to the Hereafter. After 6 months of
multi-million
dollar investigations, only ONE person (Massaoui) has been indicted and
he
was in immigration prison before and during the attack. He is not much
of a
catch for this huge operation.
2. The attacks were well planned. They struck precisely at American
economic
and military power.
2a. These were not random attacks aimed at creating death and
destruction in
the general population.
2b. There was enough time between the first and the second plane which
hit
the WTC for most people to escape the towers.
3. The most tragic losses were those of the firemen and policemen who
rushed
in to help the victims. Such bravery must be respected and honored.
4. The attackers did not use any weapons to carry out the attacks. They
used
themselves.
4a. Hence the search for weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION does not relate to
the
facts of the case.
5. Did Osama bin Laden do it? If evidence is available, it should be
taken to
a World Court acceptable to the U.S. and independent Islamic scholars.
Video
tapes can easily be doctored and war time braggadocio cannot be
accepted as
evidence.
THE MUSLIM SIDE IS WRONG TOO, as far as we can see. If the Muslims do
not
want to fight USA, it does not mean that the U.S. and Israel (its
forward
bloc) will not try to destroy and/or enslave the Muslims. The people of
Africa did not want to fight White people but they were enslaved and
brought
by the millions to USA. Nearly one fourth died on the way and were
thrown
overboard.
POWER has its own imperative. The U.S., with its Jewish component, sees
ANY
organization based on Islam as its enemy. The TALIBAN, however flawed,
were
creating an Islamic power structure. They, as any independent nation
would,
wanted to see evidence in the charges against Osama Bin Laden. The U.S.
decided to use 9/11 as an excuse to dismantle the Islamic state created
by
the Taliban.
The Muslims are blind sided in their conspiracy theory that the "Jews
did
it." New York is a Jewish power base and the WTC was the hub of their
economic activity. Nobody would attack his own power base to create a
pretext. It's absurd to think that such a massive attack was needed to
prod
U.S. into an anti-Islam position. Much smaller incidents have been used
in
history as pretexts. {The murder of ONE leader before World WAR I, the
attack
on ONE Israeli diplomat which was used as pretext for the 1982 invasion
of
Lebanon and the killing of 10,000 Muslims.}
The WTC attack has been very severe for the U.S. economy. The losses
are in
the billions and have been in the upper levels of society.
The focus on the WTC leaves out the fact that the symbol of worldwide
U.S.
military power, the Pentagon was attacked. The President of the U.S.
was seen
as in great danger and the V.P was placed in concealment.
The U.S. response by way of the assault on Afghanistan and the
hysterical
revision of civil liberties can also be seen as the anger of a blinded
cyclops hurling boulders at a fleeing enemy.
WHAT WAS THE MOTIVATION OF MOHAMMED ATTA and the 18 with him? Why did
they do
it? No one can find out because they did not even tell their families,
as far
as we know. Could it be that they were taking revenge for 1,000,000
Iraqi
children? Could it be that they were taking revenge for the occupation
of
Palestine and the genocide which has made 700,000 Palestinians
homeless? Did
they want America to withdraw from the holy land of Arabia? We don't
know and
we might never know.
We hope and pray for peace. Unfortunately, without withdrawal of U.S.
support
for Zionism and the security the U.S. provides for anti-Islam
dictatorships
everywhere, the chances for peace are very slim, particularly because
the
Muslim world is not about to accept slavery.
