URGENT
OCTOBER 2002 ISSUE OF NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC: ON
PALESTINE
[The
Zionists
are upset.]
I highly urge every Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian to purchase, repeat
purchase, the latest copy of
National Geographic
,
October 2002. Read the
article LINES IN THE SAND by Andrew Cockburn, p 102. In this article a
pictorial history of Palestine from 1000 BC to Present is presented.
This article presented such a convincing picture of Palestine that
ADL
is calling
foul. Many Jewish organizations are urging their members to write to
National
Geographic and cancel their subscription. Check it out by going to
google.com
and search: Lines in the Sand, Andrew Cockburn, National Geographic.
Read all the comments by ADL, Jewish Indy, etc.
We must also learn from it. How others are so vigilant and has mastered
the act of protesting.
A believer must be engaged in Amr bil Maroof, wa Na hee anil Munker
(promoting good and stopping evil), and in learning, teaching, and
writing.
Remember, those who sit around and only intellectualize, they will only
sob
later. Be involved and be active! But only using the peaceful means to
press
on the Cause. Wa tawaso bil Haq, wa tawaso bis Sabr (teach the Truth
and practice of Sabr).
Was Salamu Alaikum.
Imam Ali Siddiqui

IT'S A WAR AGAINST ISLAM: VOICES FROM PALESTINE
Muslim Leaders Urge Muslims To Stand Up
Oct 13, 2002
Source: Palestine Information Centre
Muslim leaders and religious scholars on Friday castigated
America's
war on
Islam
and Islamic movements around the world, calling US war on
"terror"
another western crusade against Islamic countries.
"This is a war against Islam, against the Prophet Muhammed, against the
Qura'an," said Sheikh Walid al-Haj, a popular speaker in Hebron.
"Don't you believe them when they tell you they are only against
terror;
they are against everything Islamic. Didn't you see how
Bush
and his gang
remained silent when one of the pigs (Jerry Falwell) described the
Prophet
Muhammed as a terrorist," said al Haj during Friday sermon.
Preachers in Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron and Jerusalem more or less had
the
same message about the US and Israel.
"Look, they are supporting
Jewish
Nazism soul and heart. They are
besmirching Islam and vilifying our holy prophet. Muslims ought to take
note
of all of this," said the Juma'a speaker in the town of Dura, 10 miles
south West of Dura.
In
Lebanon,
Sheikh Muhammed Hussein Fadlullah accused US President
George
Bush of supporting the anti-Islamic voices in the United States.
Fadlullah said Muslims all over the world ought to remain vigilant and
rise up to defend their faith against this new wave of wars and crusades
against Islam.

ISRAEL: A DEMOCRACY FOR JEWS, LIKE SOUTH AFRICA WAS A DEMOCRACY FOR
WHITES
Oct. 16, 2002
The Editor,
The Globe & Mail
Dear Editor:
The falsehoods that Norman Spector { "When Sharon meets Bush" Oct. 16}
piles up, in the defense of Israel, defy credibility.
He accuses Mr. Blair of drawing a false parallel between UN resolutions
that
demand Israeli and
Iraqi
compliance. In a sense, that is correct. Israel
stands in defiance of scores of Security Council resolutions, for over
50 years. These include two Security Council resolutions ordered during
the last few months, namely # 1405 ordering a team of UN inspectors to
investigate the
war crimes committed by Israel in Jenin, and Resolution # 1435,
ordering
Israeli
withdrawal from Palestinian cities and towns in the illegally
occupied West Bank and Gaza. None have been complied with.
He speaks of Israel as a democracy. Israel is a democracy for Jews
only. Its Arab citizens are denied all basic rights. Israel is as much a
democracy as
Apartheid South Africa was a demoracy for whites only. Nelson Mandela
and Archbishop Desmond Tutu accurately described Israel as an apartheid
state; they knew what they were speaking of.
He accuses Saudi Arabia of sending its 15 citizens to commit terrorist
attacks against the US. The Saudi government was not a party to the
horrendous 9/11 attack that its citizens participated in. He makes no
mention of the acts of terrorism that the Israeli government planned and
executed
against its closest ally, the US. In 1954 the Israeli government sent its
agents who bombed US diplomatic offices in Alexandria and Cairo [the
Lavon Affair] so as to blame it on
Egypt.
Israel honored later the perpetrator,
Macello Ninio. On June 8, 1967 Israeli forces attacked the USS Liberty,
killing 34 Americans and injured 171.
You describe Mr. Spector as having served as ambassador to Israel. It
would
have been more accurate to describe him as having served and continues
to serve as ambassador for Israel.
Yours sincerely
Ismail Zayid.
