A Few Editorial Thoughts: GERMANY CAN HELP US
LEARN
In the case of
Iraq,
we can learn from the
allied victory over Germany
in 1945. The allies wanted to cover up the fact
that they had destroyed
German cities and killed huge numbers of German
civilians (100,000 in Dresden
in ONE NIGHT alone). So they decided to use the
demonization process to
accuse Hitler of the "Holocaust of the Jews."
True, terrible things had
happened to the Jews, but they had happened to
many other peoples as well.
The "holocaust" was a perfect diversion from
what the allies themselves
had done. The German leaders who were arrested
soon caught on to what the
allied captors wanted to hear. Most of them tried
to save their own lives by
blaming Hitler for all that the allies wanted to
blame him for. The Nuremburg
War Crimes tribunal judged Germans as war
criminals while thousands of
civilians killed in U.S-British bombing lay under
the rubble of Nuremburg.
[Almost the whole city had been reduced to
rubble.]
Stalin, his hands dripping with the blood of
millions, was the ally of
the British and the U.S. It served Stalin's
purpose to make war criminals out
of Germans.
IN THE CASE of IRAQ, the U.S. did NOT demand
that there be an impartial
inquiry into human rights violations while Saddam
was in power and could
answer right back. Now all kinds of graves are
being dug up. In the process,
the one million Iraqi children who died of
sanctions will be forgotten, as
will thousands of Iraqis killed in U.S. bombings
in 1991 and 2003.

IMAM JAMIL al-AMIN's
CAUSE: Faced with Conspiracy
and Oppression
Possible Seminars in New York, Baltimore, Atlanta
and
Chicago
At the behest of Imam Khalil Abdur-Rahman
(from North Carolina), there
is need to bring the cause of Imam Jamil al-Amin
back into the lime light.
Imam Jamil was moved from Atlanta to the hick
town of Reidsville and is being
kept locked up in solitary confinement 23 hours a
day.
A bogus case was implemented to convict Imam
Jamil. He has accused the
government of conspiracy and oppression. Although
action was taken against
him at the state level, there are signs of
federal involvement in his
persecution.
Imam Jamil al-Amin is the most important
Islamic leader in America
today, based on his independence from the power
structure and his practice of
the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be on
him). He is the only leader
willing to go to prison and not bow down to the
oppressors.
Jamaat al-Muslimeen
supporters are urged to
talk to Muslim communities
and mosques to organize seminars on the struggle
of Imam Jamil al-Amin.
Efforts should be made in Atlanta, New York City,
Brooklyn, Baltimore and
Chicago where Jamaat has representatives.
[Activists like Br. Hodari Ali in
Washington, D.C. are urged to lend
their support to this effort.]
For information on the Imam's case, please
contact Jamaat
al-Muslimeen's Secretary General, Sis. Motisola
M. Abdallah at:
motisola_3@hotmail.com
Imam Khalil Abdur-Rahman, who organizes the
International Committee in
defense of Imam Jamil, has informed New Trend
that some key personalities
very close to Imam Jamil would be willing to
speak at our seminars.
