DROP
BUSH,
NOT BOMBS!
Millions of people surged across the globe (on
February 15) to condemn Bush
and Blair's planned blitzkrieg against
Iraq.
The rally in London was
unprecedented in British history with crowds
estimated between one million
and two million. Protests in Paris, Berlin, Rome
and Madrid were also HUGE by
any standards. [The massive demonstration in
Madrid is very important because
the President of Spain has been going against the
peoples' will by falling
into a bootlicking posture in front of UK's
Blair.]
The tone was set by a vast rally in Baghdad
which condemned
U.S.
policies and
Israel
and acclaimed President
Saddam Hussain. The idea that
Saddam does not have popular support is dead. The
sea of people included
Kurds and Shias. There were thousands of militant
Islamic women in full hijab.
[A
Jewish
reporter on Baltimore's Jewish
radio station, ypr branch of
npr,
pointed out two days back, that he has just
returned from Baghdad. He
said, the real danger he saw was that the biggest
mosque in Baghdad was
packed "to the gills." When he had visited it
four years back, it was almost
empty.]
In the U.S., anti-war rallies were held in
numerous cities. [Reports are
still coming in.] The biggest was a huge 100,000+
rally in New York in frigid
temperatures. The police refused to let the rally
march from its starting
point. Scuffles broke out with 50 arrests.
-------------------------------------------------
BIGGEST RALLY in the HISTORY of RALEIGH, North
Carolina. More than 8,000
people participated in the rally in Raleigh.
Among the speakers, there was
only one Muslim, IMAM BADI ALI from Greensboro.
[Our congratulations to Br.
Badi. He is setting a good standard for Muslim
leadership.] [Most Muslims,
lacking coherent leadership, with most of their
leaders in cahoots with Bush,
are hiding in their mosques.]

Producer MSNBC
question@msnbc.com
Subject: Steve Emerson presented as "expert" on
terrorism on your February
15, 2003 program
Dear Producer
Steve Emerson has a track record of anti-Muslim
and anti-Islam propaganda.
Your attempt to present him as an expert on
terrorism was certainly not in
the traditions of fine journalism. Emerson made a
whole lot of claims on your
Feb. 15 program which can at best be described as
rumors and fearmongering.
The claims he made raise serious questions about
the standards of reporting
acceptable to MSNBC. Emerson claimed that:
1. There are 600 to 800 possible sympathizers of
Al-Qaida in the U.S.
2. Surveillance of the sympathizers is being
carried out.
3. Jose Padilla was "trying to acquire a dirty
bomb."
Emerson also brought up his old story that
fundamentalists had set up
their bases in America after the
Afghan
jihad.
MSNBC needs to use its common sense to ask:
1. How does Emerson know all this? Is he an agent
of the FBI or does the FBI
feed him information? If he is, your audience
should be so informed. If he is
not, how could he possibly have this information?
2. Is it not true that Emerson is a long time
Zionist
Jew, a staunch
supporter of Israel? MSNBC should inform its
audience of this fact. My
magazine New Trend follows journalistic ethics by
informing its audience of
the ideological slant of its writers. MSNBC falls
below accepted standards by
not caring to mention the bias of its "experts."
3. EMERSON LOST HIS CREDIBILITY SEVERAL YEARS AGO
when he tried to convince
the White House and the FBI that pro-government
Muslim groups such as
CAIR
and
AMC
were linked to
Palestinian
Islamists such
as Hamas. The White House
did not buy Emerson's story and continued to
honor and support both CAIR and
AMC with invitations to the White House. Only one
other Muslim group, that
led by Imam W.D. Muhammad, has more credibility
with the White House/FBI than
CAIR and AMC have.
I suggest that you look up Emerson's
discredited attacks on these Muslim
groups before bringing him on again as an
"expert" on terrorism.
Sincerely
Kaukab Siddique, Ph.D.

BEST NEWS OF THE DAY: On February 15, 2003
Islamic fighters blew up an
Israeli tank with an explosive device in the Beit
Lehia area of the Gaza
strip. At least four Isreali Jewish soldiers in
the tank were killed. The
Islamic group Hamas has taken responsibility.
Israelis are amazed at the
heroic audacity of the mujahideen who managed to
reach the heavily armed
tank, placed a crude explosive device under it
and escaped unharmed. [Allahu
Akbar wa lillahil hamd.]
Our observers say that attacks on occupiers
are legitimate and
recognized as the right of the oppressed by both
international law and
Islamic law.
