Dear Brother Kaukab,

as-Salam `alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuh!, wa-ba`d,

I have just read the letter to President Saddam Husayn.

In general I like it very much, only I would like to take exception to the following:

"The United States has tremendous influence on Arab rulers who have imposed themselves on their people by force. Among them are Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, King Abdullah of Jordan and the autocratic rulers of Saudi Arabia. If the U.S. is interested in democracy, it should begin with these regimes with whom it has decisive power and influence."

I understand what you are saying here, but I fear that this reads like an endorsement of US-engineered regime change in Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. I have no particular loyalty to any of those regimes, but I DO NOT advocate letting the United States decide who should rule in their stead. In all cases regime change or regime retention is a matter for the local people in question and certainly not for the US to muscle in on.

Wa-s-salam!

QUESTION ON ARABIC (from Georgia)

As Salaamu Alaikum Dear and Respected Brother,
I was wondering if you could help me with something, i think you would be the best person to ask or at least guide me to someone who could help.

I was given a tape of jihadi nasheeds , and though i hardly know arabic, i can understand the spirit of the songs clearly. Allhumdulillah. But i was trying to find out what the word " muta'fa-e- loon" means. i tried to spell it as phonetically as i could! :-)

May Allah bless you and your family, Wa Salaamu Alaikum,

LETTER FROM NIGERIA: WHAT THE MEDIA DID NOT TELL YOU.
MUSLIMS WERE VICTIMIZED BY THE MILITARY WHEN THEY PROTESTED BEAUTY CONTEST AND INSULTS TO THE PROPHET (pbuh)

asalamu alaikum
On the Kaduna crisis, I was able to meet brothers from Kaduna who are witnesses to what happened. The details are provided below: The crisis as you are aware is as a result of the insult to the holy Prophet (saw) by the christian journalist. As a result of the crisis, christian soldiers used the opportunity to kill Muslims in the city of Kaduna. In fact, in some areas mostly dominated by Muslims, christian soldiers knock at Muslim doors and pick them up in the name of questioning but later kill them.
The caufew imposed by the Government was effectively utilised by the christian soldiers. Most of the junior soldiers who are sent to control crisis are christians and whenever such opportunities are given to them they kill Muslims.As a result of the crisis, kaduna is now divided into Two. Kaduna North is dominated by Muslims while Kaduna South is dominated by the christians.
Contrary to Government reports, more that 1000 people died in the crisis.

Ms. Carolyn from Florida on:
SHARON'S SOUTH AFRICAN CONNECTION

The Zionist propaganda machine is working full steam ahead re: the illegals. Never mind that 7 people were killed the first five days of the new year in Baltimore. There is an agenda out there.

On the brighter side, things look pretty bad for the Butcher of Beirut. Imagine, accepting money from South Africa to pay off his campaign debts. Why didn't he get if from his Zionist cronies in the U.S. They could have come up with some type of manipulation to get the money over there. I am surprised this whole mess was even exposed to the public. Isn't it anti-semitic to report bad things about Israel and jews?
