his

MUSLIM WOMAN MARTYR HONORED IN IRAQ
The Zionist media are full of attacks on Muslim women, trying to
present hijab, niqab and burqa as signs of oppression and presenting
bikinis,
and nakedness of women, lesbianism as signs of liberation. VOICES OF
ISLAMIC
WOMEN ARE SELDOM HEARD.
Recently a Palestinian woman WAFA IDREES embraced martyrdom in an
attack
on the Zionists who have occupied Palestine. On January 30, Iraq set up
a
monument in central Baghdad to honor the supreme sacrifice of Sis.
Wafa.
Wafa's mother is proud of the martyr. She said:"It doesn't matter which
group
you support: Hamas or PLO: we are one nation."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IS THERE A WAY TO LET BR. ABDUL HAMID (John Walker Lindh) know that
Muslims
in America support him? The next court appearance is on Feb.6. Let us
know
if you would like to picket the court in Alexandria, Virginia on Feb.
6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DID YOU KNOW THAT GERMANY IS THE BIGGEST SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL AFTER THE
U.S.?
Germany is also one of the most repressive regimes in the world. It
actually
practices THOUGHT CONTROL. Germany is persecuting a scholar named
GUNTER
DECKERT, 57, a father of two. He was imprisoned for two years because
he
interpreted an American lecturer's speech. Then he was given another
TWO
YEARS and Three months for chairing a lecture by historian David
Irving. He
did not say anything himself. The Jew-controlled German government
considers
Deckert a Nazi but he is simply a supporter of free speech who wants
the real
history of Germany to be discussed.

THIS IS PAGE 3 OF OUR PETITION TO ATTORNEY GENERAL ASHCROFT IN SUPPORT
OF
IMAM JAMIL al-AMIN. Please save it on your disc, add your name and mail
back
to us.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Jamaat al-Muslimeen International (Phone: 410-435-5000)
To: Attorney General Ashcroft, Department of "Justice"
950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Rm. 4400, Washington, DC 20530-0001
Dear Attorney General Ashcroft
Muslims from across America are petitioning you to release their
religious
leader, Imam Jamil al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), who is being held
in
Fulton Country Jail, Atlanta, Georgia.
As the FBI was involved in the arrest of Imam Jamil al-Amin and the
years of
surveillance and persecution he has suffered at the hands of the U.S.
government, we consider this a federal issue and hence are petitioning
you.
The five point petition states as follows:
1. An independent commission of inquiry should be set up to study the
incident(s) in which Imam Jamil al-Amin has been accused by the
police/FBI.
2. The FBI must release its file on Imam Jamil al-Amin uncensored.
3. The Imam, Jamil al-Amin, must be freed unconditionally, pending the
inquiry and be allowed to develop his Islamic community.
4. The Imam must be called by his Islamic name. When he says his name
is
Jamil al-Amin, no one has the right to call him H. Rap Brown.
5. We hereby affirm, based on his community work in Atlanta, etc., that
the
Imam is a symbol of Islamic and African struggle for honor and decency.
