Ramsey Clark, leader of the U.S Anti-War Movement told
Dr. Kaukab Siddique, May 21, that the attempt to humiliate
President Saddam Hussain by releasing photos of him secretly
taken in prison is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Mr. Clark
termed it an "assault on human dignity."
[Many people have been fooled by the steady drum roll of
propaganda against President Saddam Hussain. Whatever sins he
committed before his conversion to
Islam
in 1992 will, inshallah, be washed away by his refusal to
surrender to a superpower. He is the first
Arab
ruler in recent history to have gone underground to fight a
powerful invading army. The stocks of munitions he he hid around
Iraq
have made the Islamic resistance possible.]
-
On the anniversary of
Malcolm X [al-Hajj Malik Shabazz],
Jamaat al-Muslimeen urges Muslims to organize for the freedom of
Imam Jamil al-Amin.
Like Malcolm X, Imam Jamil had to make a choice between prosperity
in this world and success in the Hereafter. We urge the Muslim world,
the Muslims of
Africa
and African-American Muslims to recognize the fact that a top
Islamic leader is being humiliated in U.S. prison on faked charges.
Listen to Imam Jamil on CD. Order from the Jamaat address given above.
[Do you see any American Muslim standing up to the U.S. power like
Malcolm and Imam Jamil?]
-
We ask the followers of W.D. Muhammad to ask their "imam" why he
is silent about the tragedy being inflicted by the
Bush-Sharon
team on the Muslim Ummah? Why is he silent about the Imam of America,
Imam Jamil Abdullah al-Amin? How long will these banquets and PR and
fund raising go on while humanity is being crushed by W.D.'s friend
in the White House?
[W.D.'s paper Muslim Journal published Bush's photo in color on
the top front page and congratulated him on his election victory.
Is there any W.D. man who will deny it?]
-
Spanish translation of the Qur'an is available from the
Jamaat
[see address above] for five dollars. Hispanics are embracing Islam,
especially in prison.
-
Can you believe this? A $14 million mosque has been built
in Dearborn, Michigan [outside Detroit]. At a time when the Muslim
world is being torn asunder by war, poverty and exploitation,
isn't this obscene? When Muslims rotting in U.S. prisons do not
have money for good attorneys, when Muslim
human rights
activists don't have funds for travel expenses,
$14 MILLION have been spent on ONE BUILDING!
-
Who is behind this $14 million monster? It was inaugurated at the
end of April by Syed Hassan Qazwini. This man claims to be
descendent of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)! and wears a black turban and
a cleric's dress. From all accounts, he is ONE OF THE BIGGEST
SUPPORTERS OF THE WAR IN IRAQ launched by his good friend Bush.
He calls it the "liberation" of Iraq. If Imam Ali, ra., had been
alive today, he would have had this character whipped for
manufacturing a $14 million dollar mosque in a time of war.
Qazwini's marine buddies have been destroying mosques in Fallujah,
rampaging in Najaf and desecrating the
Qur'an
in Guantanamo Bay. His British friends allowed the burning of
Imam Ali's, r.a., Qur'an in Basra, and he still loves his British
"liberators."
[Readers are encouraged to send us at the above address more information on Qazwini. We have learned that he has tried to incite sectarian strife among Muslims by publishing an attack on Imam Bukhari's Sahih. Please send it to us if you have a copy of Qazwini's attack.]

Human Tragedy Unfolds in Iraq's Al-Qaim
AL-QAIM, Iraq, May 13, 2005 (
IslamOnline.net
& News Agencies) – Hundreds of Iraqi families have fled the
western Iraqi town of Al-Qaim to escape the ongoing US attacks there,
with the Red Crescent warning that the US offensive has turned the
city into a "big disaster", as local inhabitants complained about the stench of dead bodies laid on the streets or beneath the rubble of houses as a result of the fierce US offensive.
Firdous Al-Abadi, a spokesman for the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS),
said more than 100 Iraqi families have fled Al-Qaim in the Al-Anbar
province near the Syrian borders to the town of A'ana, some 75 km from
Al-Qaim.
She added that unknown numbers of Iraqi families also fled to Rawa
and Haditha, some 70 km to the northeast.
"More people are desperately trying to leave the town and according
to our information US troops have closed all exit points," Abadi
told the Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) Thursday, May 12.
The ongoing clashes in the city barred many medical convoys from
reaching the city to bury corpses of the Iraqis killed in the
fighting, whose bodies are laid on the streets and beneath the
rubble of the houses.
"The situation is very tragic and could turn into a disaster
because of the dead bodies which are left in the streets," doctor
Walid Al-Obeidi told Al-Quds Press Friday.
He urged both US occupation forces and Iraqi resistance fighters
to halt the clashes to allow the medical convoys to bury the dead.
More than 1,000 US Marines have been launching a sweeping offensive
on the city of Al-Qaim since May 7, on claims of searching for
followers of Al-Qaeda-linked Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, the most
wanted man in Iraq.
No Choice
Iraqi children pay the price.
Iraqi families, who have fled the town, said many innocent
people were caught in the middle of the clashes between the
US occupation forces and the Iraqi resistance and had no choice
but to leave their homes.
"I couldn't take anything with me as we ran to escape clashes.
We have been helped by a Sheikh in this mosque," Abu Omar told IRIN,
as he and his four-member family took refuge in a mosque in Al-Qaim.
Um Mazin, another Iraqi woman fleeing the town, said she left
the area with her family to escape the American bombings,
according to the Associated Press (AP).
"The Americans do not hit the gunmen; they hit the houses of civilians."
But as they hurried to escape their lives, they failed to bring
enough supplies they needed to survive.
"We did not take enough food, water, medicine or clothes...and
we are tired of the sandstorms," Um Mazin said wearily.
"No one can go back now, and we do not know what happened
to our husbands."
On Thursday, the Iraqi Red Crescent Society sent a convoy of
supplies to the area, carrying food and medical items, potable water,
tents and ambulances.
"A team of 15 people with three trucks packed with tents,
blankets, kitchen utensils, water, medicine and food arrived
today in Akashat," Mazen Abdallah told Agence France Presse (AFP) Friday.
Lack of Supplies
As they left the western Iraqi town, fleeing families have taken
refuge in two abandoned schools and a mosque between Al-Qaim and
Rawa as well as in the local sports stadium to escape the clashes.
Helping them to survive, local religious leaders from the area
were supplying the families with food and water.
However, there are high fears of a humanitarian crisis in the
area as a result of the continuing clashes which prevented the
relief convoys from reaching afflicted people.
"Our contacts inside Al-Qaim, told us by phone, that there is
no power, no telephones and a 24-hour curfew has been imposed,"
Al-Abadi said.

[From Shaikh Mohommed, London, England.]
Example of Outstanding Jew: Harold Pinter Says Blair is Criminal
Re: MALCOLM X KNEW (Safar 3, 1426/March 14, 2005 #21) "one proof
that all the civil rights posturing of so many Jews wasn't sincere."
My comment:
There is a time and place for everything. Old stories should be
referred to only if they are relevant. However, in this case, I
feel that we should move on. Hence, I offer no criticism on
Malcolm X's comment.
We should now focus on real problem facing the world. One may ask
what are the problems and the answers may vary from person to person.
According to me, the root of all problems facing us is
American Government's behaviour towards us all. To put it bluntly,
Washington has given to all and sundry that its objective is to
control the resources of the whole world.
People throughout the world have taken up this challenge and in
their own way are tackling up this issue i.e. attacking not only
Bush but also his stooges. Your readers already know who the
stooges are in the Muslim world.
In passing let me bring to your readers' attention the behaviour
of a prominent British Jew. He is Harold Pinter. I am not of
course referring to other Jews like Noam Chomsky, or that
Israeli General who resigned when asked to attack
Lebanon.
Harold Pinter has put his whole life in fighting against tyranny
by American Government and America's stooges and allies.
Please read on the following news item appearing in a London
newspaper. If any of your readers are interested in finding
more about Harold Pinter, they can visit
http://www.haroldpinter.org/home/index.shtml
"Harold Pinter announced today that he has decided to abandon
his career as a playwright in order to concentrate exclusively
on politics. The 74-year-old dramatist has spent the bulk of his
time in recent years as a passionate campaigner against the
prime minister and the conflict in Iraq.
In an outstanding writing career that has spanned four decades,
Pinter has produced some of modern ....and his announcement today
will come as a blow to the many people in the theatre world who
regard him as Britain's greatest living playwright. Pinter explained
his decision in an interview with Mark Lawson, due to be aired on
Radio 4's Front Row at 7.15pm this evening.
"I've written 29 plays. Isn't that enough?" he asked. ....My
energies are going in different directions - over the last few
years I've made a number of political speeches at various
locations and ceremonies ... I'm using a lot of energy more
specifically about political states of affairs, which I think
are very, very worrying as things stand." Last November Pinter
was among a group of celebrity campaigners who called for the
prime minister's impeachment.
- Pinter takes final bow The Guardian February 28, 2005.
Addressing the million march for peace , Playwright Harold Pinter
claimed US barbarism would destroy the world and called on Tony Blair
to resign. To cheers, he said: "It's a country run by a bunch of
criminals with Tony Blair as a hired Christian thug."
Daily Mirror 17 February 2003
One of Pinter's best quote which I like is
"The crimes of the U.S. throughout the world have been systematic,
constant, clinical, remorseless, and fully documented but nobody
talks about them."
