Amnesty International, Muslims Condemn Belgian Government Decision to Ban Burqa, Niqab

Belgium- Voting in anonymous, Belgian kuffar lower parliament on April 29th, 2010 passed the bill on banning the burqa from public spaces.

If endorsed by the upper parliament, Belgium declares itself a country that ‘violates the rights to freedom of expression and religion’ as what the Amnesty International said in regard to the ban.

“A complete ban on the covering of the face would violate the rights to freedom of expression and religion of those women who wear the burqa or the niqab,” said John Dalhuisen, an expert on discrimination in Europe saying on behalf of the Amnesty International.

Amnesty International, as reported, has condemned the Belgian lower parliament to pass the bill on banning the burqa from public space as saying that the decision would set ‘dangerous precedent.’

“The Belgian move to ban full face veils, the first in Europe, sets a dangerous precedent,” Dalhuisen remarked.

Opposition to the policy came also from Isabelle Praile, Vice President of the Muslim Executive of Belgium, as saying, “Today it’s the full-face veil, tomorrow the veil, the day after will be Sikh turbans...”

The decision of banning the wearing of burqa in public spaces has led Muslims worldwide to react, calling that Belgian Muslims are now ‘under attack.’

Souad Barlabi, a Belgian Muslim woman, told AFP that the Belgian government is trying to ‘wind us up’ admitting that she feels ‘under attack.’

“They are trying to wind us up. We feel under attack. (In fact,) there are other problems that are more important,” Barlabi said.

An old Belgian Muslim railed in Brussel on Friday also reacted to the ban throwing a rhetoric, “The Virgin Mary also wore a veil. No one says anything about this.”

The bill on banning the burqa was passed easily without any significant opposition amongst the members of the Belgian House of Representative.

There were only two parliament members who abstained from giving vote to pass the bill into a full law.

Bruno Tuybens, one of the two abstaining from voting to the bill, admitted that the law ‘disturbs’ him.

“This law disturbs me. I believe in freedom of expression and I don’t think it should be restricted,” he admitted.

The bill on banning the burqa from public space will come into a full law only after being ratified by the upper government, but it will not be achieved in few weeks.

Belgian kuffar lawmakers said the law was based on the security reason, which also means that they are accusing Muslim women wearing burqa of being committed in crime.

However, sentiment from the Muslims towards the law is negative claiming the reason behind it was only a ‘pretext.’

“It’s just a pretext. How many robberies are committed in wearing a burqa? I’m afraid that soon they’re going to want to start putting crescents on the backs of Muslims,” said Samuel Bulte, a convert to Islam, referring to the yellow stars of the Nazis forced Jews to wear.

The same opinion came also from Tuybens, who is a representative of Flemish Socialist, as saying, “There is no link at all between crime and wearing the burqa or niqab.” (VancouverSun/AFP/Islaminet)

America- The local Muslim community of Barrhaven has filed a report to the nearest police office that some American vandals have spray painted some messages of hatred to Islam between Thursday night (29/4/2010) and Friday morning (30/4/2010).

The act of vandalism did now take the form of offensive words saying, “Ragheads Go,” and blasphemous phrase of “f*** Muslims” with a Swastika symbol on a placard signing the future location of a Masjid (Mosque) built by South Nepean Muslim Community (SNMC).

Wais Sidiqi, an official of the SNMC, was shocked to know this, concluding that some Americans do not want the Muslims to be there – referring to the word “Muslims” on the graffiti.

“I don’t know what to think. I guess some people don’t want us here,” he said.

Response to the racist incitement came also from other surrounding people as when Sidiqi went to the police office for making a report, he was told that some other people have filed another report on Friday morning.

The Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations on Friday also issued an official statement calling for condemnation to those making the racist graffiti.

“Such acts are offensive, hurtful, and intimidating to local citizens,” said Ihsaan Gardee of CAIR-CAN.

CAIR-CAN and SNMC have now urged the Ottawa police to make a torough and further investigation and to bring those American vandals to justice.

Dr. Emdad Khan, the director and honorary president of SNMC, later on Friday has taken a visit to the location and witnessed by himself the graffiti was ‘very ugly.’

Mr Khan said there have been two attempts from the American vandals before, which took the forms of ‘scribble graffiti,’ but nothing that appeared aimed at the Muslim community.

Muslim and non-Muslim communities are now making consolidation in response to any act of vandalism, remembering that earlier this week, another message of hatred was spray painted in Pickering.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said the vandal act at 3020 Woodroffe Avenue ‘deeply troubling’ and ‘clearly unacceptable.’

Any effort to construct a Masjid in the United States, more often than not, used to be faced with opposition from those anti-Islam activists, and therefore many of American Muslims begin questioning Obama’s commitment of shaping better ties with the Islam world.

Earlier this week on April 21st, 2010, another messages of hatred against Islam was spray painted in a site near the Pickering Islamic Center.

Likewise, a group of Anti-Islam calling themselves after Bay People has managed a campaign opposing the construction of a Masjid in Brooklyn. (CBC/TorontoSun/YourOttawa/Islaminet)

Indonesia- A one-day course of human rights held today (30/4/2010) in Jakarta by Komite Nasional Hak Asasi Manusia-Komnas HAM (National Committee for Human Rights) ended in chaos.

It was because the local Muslim activists witnessed that the main agenda behind it was a “shemale contest” wherein an election of Indonesia’s shemale human rights agent would be taking place.

Knowing that, a group of Muslim activists named after Front Pembela Islam-FPI (Islam’s Defender Front) breached Bumi Wiyata Hotel in Depok, Jakarta, and dispersed the ‘shemale contest’ held under the name of human rights.

FPI members entered the meeting room of Bumi Wiyata Hotel at 10:30 of local time, and expelled about 26 shemale ‘activists’ representing each province from the entire Indonesia.

Soon, all those shemale ‘activists’ went out of the hotel; some directly went back home while some other were waiting for being elected the ‘shemale human rights agent.’

The head of Depok District’s FPI, Habib Idrus Al-Gadri, stated that Depok is a city where religious values are upheld highly, and therefore such an event should not be held here.

Further Al-Gadri affirmed that there was no legal permission from local community figures, Depok administration, and the police.

There were no casualties reported, but some of the participants, who came from some provinces in Indonesia, admitted they are still getting trauma with the dispersal.

Responding to the action taken by Islam’s Defender Front towards the ‘shemale contest,’ a spokesman of the Indonesia’s Komnas HAM officially condemned the effort to uphold the Islamic values carried out by the FPI.

“We decry the dispersal. This is an official course and members of the Komnas HAM were there too,” he said.

This night, the ‘shemale contest’ was reported to be held at the same place with dozens of policemen were on the site safeguarding the “evil events.”

Islam’s Defender Front is a group of Indonesian Muslims who try to uphold the Islamic values exist in society.

Indonesian mainstream media alone do never stop setting propaganda to create a bad image of the FPI.

However, many Indonesian Muslims and non-Muslims in many places – especially the areas once struck by natural disaster – admitted that members of the FPI are more committed in giving assistance to them rather than those government-backed social organizations.

Depok District near the capital Jakarta alone is a place for some evil event like the recent ‘shemale contest.’

In 2005, a ‘Miss Shemale’ contest was held at New Stardust club, before finally dozens of FPI members dispersed the event as their report to the police on that illegal ‘miss shemale contest’ was underestimated.

March this year in Surabaya of East Java, dozens of members of FPI breached and dispersed an International Conference on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Inter-sex Association.

US Drone Brought Down by Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Pentagon Admits “Taliban Getting Stronger”

Afghanistan- Spokesman of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mujahid, on Wednesday (28/4/2010) reported that one more American terrorist drone (unmanned aerial vehicle) was brought down by the Mujahideen.

Local residents said that pieces of the drone can now be found in the central Baghlan district, Baghlan province.

Only on this week, it is reported that there have been two US drones and one US Apache Helicopter were shot down by the Mujahideen.

Later on Thursday April 29th, 2010, a report published by the Pentagon admits that the power of the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ‘are expanding and its operations are increasing in sophistication.’

The statement alone clearly suggests a conclusion that the recent major military operations carried by US and NATO-led invaders in Helmand province resulted nothing, but heavy defeat in the side of foreign invaders.

Adding to this, the report also describes that the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan are able to ‘withstand repeated US onslaughts and to re-establish its influence.’

Taliban has been about nine years long blindly slandered by the US of inciting war against the West, even though one pure and simple evidence shows that the US and its allies are killing and invading the Land of Afghanistan.

Under the slogan “We will defeat you,” the Obama adminsitration tries to justify the invasion in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

The US and NATO-led invading terrorists are now counted at more than 100,000 with thousands of Afghan kuffar policemen involved within.

The recent military operation carried out the foreign invaders in the province of Helmand, in fact, was the turning point to the apparent defeat of foreign terrorist soldiers.

Moreover, foreign invaders’ faces have just been recently slammed as the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan have now conquered the Valley of Death – a site that was formerly functioned a US base.

Now, in only a week, there have been two invaders’ drones and one Apache Helicopter were brought down, meaning that the victory of Islam will soon now come true, Inshallah (God’s willing).

19-Year-Old Palestinian Martyred by Israeli Terrorists, Other Four Palestinians Martyred by Egypt’s Kuffar Police Borders

Palestine- Moaweya Hassanein, a 19-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by Israel terrorist while he, and another dozen of Palestinians, was taking part in a peaceful protest against the buffer zone.

The Gaza medical unit has reported on Wednesday (28/4/2010) that Hassanein was shot at his abdomen, and once taken to the nearest hospital before finally he was martyred (inshallah).

A brief review on a video footage captured by a Palestinian field worker showed that the protest was relatively peaceful before a sudden gunshot was released by an Israeli teroorist.

Hassanein alone was taken by another Palestinian protester to a stretcher.

On the same day, four Palestinians were killed as they were trying to stock other Palestinians with foods and other daily needs via cross-border tunnel.

Later Hamas spokesman states that the four martyred Palestinians were killed by Egypt’s police border who took into usage of poisonous gas.

“The Interior Ministry confirms that the citizens' cause of death was the Egyptian security forces spraying poison gasses into one of the tunnels,” the statement said.

“This is a terrible crime committed by Egyptian security against simple Palestinian workers who were trying to earn their daily bread. It was a killing in cold blood. Hamas and all the Palestinian people condemn it strongly,” he spoke further. (AP/Jazeera/Islaminet)

Indonesia- Indonesian Muslims should now not be afraid of practicing Islam fully as Tim Pembela Muslim-TPM (Muslim Advocate Team) has been established to ‘defend Muslims’ rights.’

In a Tabligh Akbar (Mass Prayer) held at Al-Azhar University Jakarta, the Muslim Advocate Team was officially founded on April 25th, 2010.

Coming to the Tabligh Akbar were Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir, Mahendradatta (the head of TPM), Munarman SH, and Jose Rizal Jurnalis of Indonesia’s MER-C.

TPM was established merely to defend the rights of Muslims who are, more often than not, discriminated by either the government or by those anti-Islam.

Mahendradatta said, “Our dream is not to keep this institution exists, why? It’s because TPM would collapse by itself when there will be discrimination against Muslims no more.”

Don’t be Afraid to be Muslim
On the same occasion, Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir delivered some words about the future of Indonesian Muslims.

To him, one pure and simple way of eradicating discrimination against Muslims is by ‘altering’ the non-Islamic government system into an Islamic government system that is based on the Quran and Sunna.

“All effort to root out discrimination against Muslims without changing such a non-Islamic government system is a mere utopia,” the Ustadz said.

At the event, Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir further reminded TPM to keep being ikhlas (sincere) and ittiba (follow the ways of conduct of Prophet Muhammad) in every single action they carry out.

Ustadz Abu – that’s he is usually called – also admonished TPM not to be hesitate to evaluate all of their action when soon there is derailment from the Quran and Sunnah.

The last words of Ustadz Abu to all the Muslims attending the event was that Muslims should work together and ‘seriously’ to change the Indonesia’s government system into an Islamic state.

He does believe that the Muslims and non-Muslims would live side by side in harmony and be safe under the Islamic sharia just like what happened in Andalusia (Spain) that is well-known as the La Convivencia era. (MuslimDaily/JurnalIslam/Islaminet)

Press Release from Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: American futile Efforts in the Mirror of the Afghan History

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

Prior to February 1989, when the Red Army pulled out of Afghanistan, the Soviet leaders started gradually drawing down their forces in the far-flung provinces of Afghanistan . Consequently, Dr. Najib’s government evacuated Khost and Kumar provinces completely, posing it as an initiative to defend places of people’s concentration. Meanwhile, Najib’s spy agency the Ministry of State Intelligence ( WAD in Persian) , braggingly announced that they had created disunity among the Mujahideen. They said that they were in contacts with the Mujahideen commanders and as per their strategy, had struck some surreptitious deals with them. Thus, they were trying to hide their failures and paint their efforts as achievements and as a new strategy.

However, the realities were vice versa-- the regime ultimately collapsed. America is traversing the same path. They are losing their strong military bases.

Similarly, the Karzai puppet administration, some times, speaks of peace talks and reconciliation; of holding jirga, and some times, falsely claims that negotiation with the opposition is under way. Even some times, they say the Mujahideen have shown flexibility and readiness to hold talks, quoting some unknown sources. Thus, they want to deceive the public by publishing such reports through media outfits which are on their payroll.

But they are unaware of the fact that the public themselves behold the realities with their own eyes. The enemy’s propaganda campaign in the final analysis will harm the enemy itself. Moreover, Najib renamed the People Democratic Party as the Homeland Party and began to raise national slogans instead of the communist slogans. Karzai is now acting the same drama. But neither the propaganda launched by Khad and the servant media could contribute to Naib’s sustainability. His government propaganda could not erode the confidence existing among Mujahideen and the people never accepted Najib as a patriot Afghan merely by renaming his party. Today people eye Karzai’s assertions and crocodile’s tears with suspicions.

Najib and his masters formed militias and strengthened them. Currently, Kabul Puppet Administration is toeing the same line. They have forgotten that the former Najib’s regime collapsed at the hands of the militias which were formed to protect and defend the regime in the first place. Today the government of Karzai has been weakened and discredited by the warlords who have ensconced themselves in the government high echelon. Any way, the past history repeats itself once again. All these developments point to the fact that the invading America is standing on the abyss of defeat. The recent decision by the NATO foreign ministers in Asthonia to withdraw their forces from the provinces of Afghanistan and hand over the security to the Afghan forces, confirm our claim and is a replay of the past history.

This proves that the resistance in Afghanistan has evolved into a popular upheaval and now it is almost impossible to confront it. The people’s demonstration in Logar, the gate of Kabul where people set fire to the logistical convoy, once again shores up our claim. The foreign and internal forces, including their air force and ground troops were not able to save their logistical convoy and military vehicles from the havoc of the empty handed people.

Presently, all Mujahideen are united and strong, being led by a wise and sagacious leadership. The people support them. Their leadership possess deep military and political insight. So none of Mujahideen will ever come under the impression of the enemy propaganda. They know that the enemy is on the verge of defeat and hence is grasping at every straw.

In the light of the above facts, the public of the West should raise to the occasion to harness their arrogant governments and get acquainted with the history of Afghanistan in order to learn a lesson from it and pull out of Afghanistan immediately. If they do not do that, their fate will be similar to the fate of former Soviet Union. Similarly, if the Afghans who are now siding with the Puppet Kabul Administration do not cut off their relation with the moribund regime, they will also meet the fate of the former communists. Neither they will find a haven inside the country nor abroad. They will bear the brunt of a heavy loss in this world and the world to come.

Indonesian Christian Uses Extremely Blasphemous Words to Describe Islam on the Net

Indonesia- No longer after Indonesian Muslims were shocked to know a Facebook account insulting Islam and all related to Islam, on April 21st, 2010, a depressed Indonesian Christian described Islam and all related to it in extremely blasphemous words via blogger.com service.

The blog entitled “Habisi Islam di Indonesia” (Eradicate Islam in Indonesia) was created on Wednesday April 21st, 2010 at 2:05 of local time by an admin calling himself “Yayasan Perguruan Santo Bellarminus” located on Jl. Kemangsari IV No. 97, Jatibening Baru, Pondok Gede, Bekasi, West Java.

The blog, which also named itself after Gerakan Membasmi Islam-GMI (Eradicating Islam Movement) uploaded a number of photographs displaying the blogger put Islam’s Holy Book Quran above a closet, and another photographs of a teenager stepping foot on the Quran.

The blogger described Islam and all the things about Islam in a set of words that were totally blasphemous to all Muslims worldwide, and therefore Indonesian Muslims are ready steady go to wage Jihad against the Christians, but more importantly the one creating the blog account.

One of its posts, the blog said “AL-Kooran” referring to the Quran as an abbreviation of “AL: Allah (their imaginary God)/ K: kontol (penis)/ OO: orang-orang (people)/ R: rusuh (disturbing)/ A: anjing (dog)/ and N: neraka (hell).”

Not enough describing the Quran in such an extreme offensive words, the blogger also called the Prophet Muhammad an “insane because he tried to create sensation by making his own belief that his God is Allah.”

“Muhammat is a son of evil...” it said.

At the end of the post, the blogger tried to invite people leaving Islam and converting Christianity or Catholic.

“So start from now you must convert to Christianity/Catholic, because they are the best religion!! In the name of Christ!! I swear to eradicate Islam...! Be careful you Islam!! Be ready that we will burn out your Kaaba and Masjids!! Bravo GMI!” the post said.

Setting Pit Islam against Christianity
The blog account had now been disabled following a massive protest amongst the Indonesian Muslims, but before it was banned, the blogger changed his blog’s name after “Damai untuk Indonesia Kita!!! Murid Indonesia!!” (Peace be upon us Indonesia!!! Indonesian students!!) on Thursday April 22nd, 2010.

All the blasphemous posting about Islam and all the things related to it were deleted as well, and all of sudden the blogger posted some writings about criticizing education in Indonesia.

Confirmed to the Yayasan Perguruan Santo Bellarminus, the school’s headmaster said the school had once reported the case to the Indonesian police office soon after knowing the school’s name was used as the account owner of the blog on Thursday April 22nd, 2010.

Further investigation to a teacher at the school’s foundation, Mr Robertus Prawiranto Wibowo, it was found that Mr Wibowo knows nothing about this, even though his name was cited the great supporter of the blog owner.

Mr Wibowo alone is a Catholic religious teacher at the foundation’s senior high school, and therefore he knows nothing about the blog owner calling himself a student at the foundation’s junior high school.

“This student said to be an alumnus of (the foundation’s) junior high school, and I am a teacher at (the foundation’s) senior high school. That makes me confused really,” Mr Wibowo said.

Indonesia Ulema Council (MUI) has called on Indonesian Muslims not to provoke easily by such an attempt of ‘setting pit Islam against Christianity.’

Talking to Voice of Al-Islam, Ustadz Sukandar Ghazali of MUI said, “It’s a real attempt of setting pit certain religious followers against other follower of certain religions.”

Chronology
After making a brief investigation to the foundation, the chronology of this shocking blasphemous action towards Islam can be concluded as below:

Tuesday April 19th, 2010
A woman named Anita, a mother of an allegedly the blog owner who was later known to be initialed JRB nicknamed Joy, took a meeting with Ignatio Nudek, a daily official of the foundation.

Joy alone graduated from the foundation’s junior high school in 2008 and continued to a state-run senior high school (SMA 5 Pondok Gede) in the same city.

Anita’s visit to the foundation’s office was aimed at transferring her son to the foundation’s senior high school, and therefore was asked by Mrs Nudek the reason behind it.

Anita told her that her son was involved in a case of insulting Islam in the form of taking photographs of the Quran put above a closet and a teenager put his foots on the Quran.

Joy got early warning from the school’s administrative, and Joy began to be afraid by himself.

Knowing this situation, Mrs Anitia initiated to move her son to the foundation’s senior high school as she worried about any threat that might come from the Muslim students at SMA 5 Pondok Gede.

Mrs Nudek later could not accept Joy after being told about the story of Joy’s juvenile deliquency.

On the same day, Mrs Anita – who had known very well the headmaster of the foundation – tried to meet with the foundation’s headmaster, but the same, the foundation could not accept such a ‘criminal.’

Tuesday April 20th, 2010 and Wednesday April 21st, 2010
All the academic activities at the foundation ran as usual.

Thursday April 22nd, 2010
A student of the foundation’s senior high school reported to a teacher, Mr Robertus Wahyu Handoko, that he just recently found a blog citing the name of the foundation’s school as the official manager.

The student further told the offending content on the blog that was addressed to Islam with some insulting photographs of the Quran, and other photographs of the school’s headmaster and it Catholic religious teacher, Mr Wibowo.

The school then got the blog printed four times to be further used as evidences at the police office.

On the same day, the school filed a report to the local police office, but was further continued to the Central police office in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta.

The Indonesian police is now on the progress towards the one making the blog and hopefully that the one behind it will be unveiled soon. (VOA-Islam/Islaminet)

Quite a number of the People of the Book wish they could Turn you (people) back to infidelity after ye have believed, from selfish envy, after the Truth hath become Manifest unto them: But forgive and overlook, Till Allah accomplish His purpose; for Allah Hath power over all things” (Al-Baqara [2]: 109)

Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance." Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against Allah (Al-Baqara [2]: 120)

Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein (Al-Baqara [2]: 217)

They only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal is far worse (Al-Imran [3]: 118)

Press Release from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: The 31st Anniversary of Condemnation of the Saur Evil Coup De’tat

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

On April 28 falls the 31st anniversary of the communist coup de’tat in Afghanistan. It is the beginning of the ongoing tragedies of the three decades and the consequence of insouciance and anti-Islamic attitude of the past regimes. In fact, this coup de’tat was launched as part and parcel of rivalries between the two main blocs of the world—capitalism and communism. Each wanted to extend its tentacle over the Warm Waters of the India Ocean and the Gulf oil resources. To achieve this goal, they intended to occupy Afghanistan and efface its Islamic identity and sovereignty. Their domestic henchmen, the Khalqis and Parchimites, were assisting them in this faithfully, by raising attractive and deceiving slogans of shelter, cloth and bread.

The Khalqis and Parchimites like the present secular elements, wanted to foist a communist system on the Muslim people of Afghanistan without taking into account the objective realities. They were implementing the internal and external policy of Afghanistan as per the advice of the Russian advisors who were completely ignorant of the Afghan culture. The Khalqis and Parchmites elected to take some implausible measures and decisions against the religion, people and the noble Afghan culture.

They buried alive thousands of true sons of this land underground and tortured hundreds of thousands of them. They called all the steadfast and honor-loving Afghans who opposed their atheist regimes, as agents of the foreigners. The Afghan Mujahid people, on the basis of their faith, rose against the communist regime of Khalq and Parcham and later against the invading Red Army, giving them an unforgettable lesson, by launching a sacred Jihad against them. Then, the Red Army was considered as invincible and irreversible. By then, the Western rulers had come round that recapturing land from the Red Army was impossible; whereas the communist rulers in Kremlin had contemplated that a communist revolution in the whole region was a compulsion of the history i.e. it shall occur whether some one wants it or not.

Before the coup de’tat, they believed the change should come after a cultural revolution. But now they contended that coup de’tat was a short-cut for grabbing power in the Islamic countries.

These are the unimpeachable facts of that time. The West has now intentionally forgotten them and closed their eyes to admit the splendid acts of heroism of the proud Afghan people who saved the Islamic and non-Islamic world from the claws of communism.

It was only the Afghan Mujahid people who withstood the Red Deluge and permanently effaced the arrogant empire of the former Soviet Union. However, on April 29, when the surrogate communist regime was toppled thanks to the sacrifices of 1.5 millions martyrs and the jihad parties gained political power in Afghanistan, they, unfortunately, focused on their personal goals rather than aiming at establishing an Islamic government. Thus, they frustrated the suffering afghan people who had been nurturing the hope of seeing sovereignty of an Islamic government in the country.

To put an end to the corruption, anarchy and mischief in the country, some honest Mujahideen who felt their obligation, rose to the occasion in the shape of the Taliban Islamic Movement, launching their struggle for restoration of security and establishment of Islamic system. This struggle has been continuing as of to date, having passed through different phases; and the Mujahideen have been solidified in the vicissitude of times.

It is worth mentioning, the Red Army invasion of Afghanistan and their defeat, the failure of America and NATO in Afghanistan in the past nine years are live lesson for the arrogant America. The Afghans are not kowtowing before the black colonialism in the shape of the so-called democracy as they did not do that before the Red colonialism in the shape of communism. This is because the Afghans now can realize the real intentions and goals of the enemy behind their flagrant and attractive slogans.

The Americans like their formers Soviet Union, have martyred thousands of Afghans and detained thousands of them in Guantanamo, Bagram, Kandahar and other secret jails. They have perpetrated crimes in violation of all rules of human rights under the name of fighting terrorism—even the brutalities of the past invaders seem minimal in comparison to theirs.

They also claim that now the world is uniplolar and there is only one super power and that is America. However, they are forgetting that in the near past, in this land, by the hands of these Afghans, an empire stronger than theirs, did collapse and fell smithereens.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, while condemning the April 28 (Saur) coup de’tate and considers it as a colossal tragedy and a source of all the suffering of the Afghan Muslim people, meanwhile reminds the rulers of the White House to be aware of the consequence of the day that you will end up regretting the mistakes that you are making in Afghanistan today as now the remains of the Red Empire of communism are regretting their mistakes.

It is more plausible and rationale for the Americans to desist from turning Afghanistan into a bastion for achievement of colonialist goals in the region and the world under the spurious name of fighting terrorism. They should let the Afghans to pride fully live under the shade of Islamic system in an independent country. In this, lies the secret of stability and security of the whole region. The rulers of the puppet Karzai Administration should take lessons from the consequences of the henchmen of Kremlin, the defeated communists. They should abstain from bowing before their foreign masters and instead, side with their people and nation. They must trust their own people and not let them be prosecuted at the hand of the foreigners.

Press Release from Islamic State of Iraq: A Statement from the Ministry of Religious Committees of the Islamic State of Iraq to the Muslim Ummah

All praise be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists, and may peace and blessings be on the leader of those with brightened faces (on the Day of Judgment), the leader of the Mujahideen, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon all his Family and Companions. To proceed:
Allah (I) says:

“And many a Prophet fought (in Allah's Cause) and along with him (fought) large bands of religious learned men. But they never lost heart for that which did befall them in Allah’s Way, nor did they weaken nor degrade themselves. And Allah loves the patient. And they said nothing but: ‘Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our transgressions (in keeping our duties to You), establish our feet firmly, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk’.” (Aali Imran: 146-147)

To our precious Ummah:
After a journey filled with sacrifices and repelling of falsehood and its people, two knights from amongst you dismounted their horses to join the band of martyred leaders, the band of heroes who proceeded forth when people lagged behind, showed patience when others could not, vied in patience with the enemies of Allah, and remained garrisoned in the various battlefields while death lay in their wait, from above and from below, and in every nook and alley.

By Allah, it is indeed extremely difficult to inform the Muslim Ummah once again of the news of the loss of two of the greatest leaders of Jihad, two of the greatest men of the Ummah. Two who were only knows to be heroes remaining firm on the path of Jihad despite the severity of the various trials and tests and the numbers of the enemy. Due to this, Allah gave them a new opportunity to establish the religion and make Allah’s Shariah govern the land of Iraq. Allah raised their status and made the infidels choke whenever they heard their names. He made their assassination a goal of their Christian Crusade, and for this they recruited a host of spies, hordes of troops, created various intelligence agencies and tasked their satellites, until Allah willed that these two knights dismount their horses and attain martyrdom in Allah’s Cause. This is how we reckon them, and Allah is the True Reckoner.

Despite the sadness which envelops our hearts in announcing the likes of this news, by Allah, we say nothing except what pleases Allah. Indeed we belong to Allah, and to Him is the final return. We ask Allah to accept these two leaders as martyrs in His Cause, and to grant them the highest station of Paradise, Al-Firdaws.

“And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success.” (Al-Tawbah:111)

We also comfort the people of truth amongst the Muslims, east and west, especially the leaders and scholars of Jihad in Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Arabian Peninsula, Somalia, the Islamic Maghreb, and Al-Sham, and we will never forget the delight of our eyes in the honorable and defiant Caucasus, and also the Philippines, Indonesia and Nigeria; we comfort them by informing them that the leadership of the Islamic State of Iraq, Allah willing, is in strong and trustworthy hands, and its affairs have been decided and are under control. Allah willing, Islam will never be harmed from its side. The two sheikhs, may Allah have mercy on them, and the Shura Committee had prepared well for this day in advance, deciding what would happen in this situation. And how could they not do so, when there was no time in which the two Sheikhs were not confronted with death, their explosive jackets always on their chests.

At this time, we remind and give glad tidings to our brothers in religion and the supporters of the Islamic State everywhere whose hearts were attached to the two Sheikhs, that the martyrdom of the leaders at times of battle is a natural consequence of Jihad and is the Way of Allah in regards to His creation. We are certain that this is a sign of the correctness of the path and the truthfulness of those upon it, and that their blood is a cause of increased blessings, sovereignty and victory from Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. By Allah, no knight dismounted his horse in this battle except that through his blood, Allah granted us such victories that we could never have imagined. The blessings in our Jihad are due to the blood of our leaders.

Remain firm, our brothers in Tawheed, on your path of goodness and support of Allah’s religion and his beloved slaves. Proceed on the path for which these two Sheikhs were martyred, and make their blood a light and a fire: a light to illuminate your path and ease its hardships, and a fire for the enemies of Islam:

“If a wound has touched you, be sure a similar wound has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allah may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And Allah likes not the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers.” (Aali Imran: 141)

Remind yourselves that you have brothers here in the Islamic State who have broken the sheaths of their swords and have left their families, homes, and the delights of this world. Their condition is like what Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah (t), said when it was said to him, “We fear that we will be harmed from your side.” He replied, “What a bad Hafiz (one who has memorized the Quran) I would be if you would be harmed from my side!”

As for the details of this event, those who have taken lies as their religion have indeed lied once again. The Crusaders and their slaves vie with each other to portray the event to their own advantage. The truth of the matter is that the Leader of the Believers, may Allah have mercy on him, had arrived at a guesthouse in the area. He was receiving some guests to decide on some matters of the State. The Prime Minister, Abu Hamzah Al-Muhajir had also attended. When the invading forces arrived, the defense squad engaged them in a firefight, forcing them to retreat. They did not dare to enter the area again, and they never set foot in the area until the cowards carried out air strikes against various targets, from them the guesthouse. After they were sure that it was totally destroyed and that all those in it had been killed, they were surprised to find the two Sheikhs from amongst the killed. This is their habitude: they are more ignoble and base than to confront the people of Tawheed like men, how could they confront the brave Sheikh, the Leader of the Believers, [Abu Umar] Al-Qureishi Al-Baghdadi and the Lion of Islam, Abu Hamzah Al-Muhajir?

We remind the Muslims that the Crusader-Rafidite Alliance will continue to benefit from this event and media to polish the image of the hollow intelligence agencies of the Green-Zone Government, and announce their imaginary victories against the Mujahideen, as it is in dire need of this after the Mujahideen attacks caused the pillars of their state to shake, destroying whatever was left of their might and awe. The Crusaders are also in dire need of this media coverage and TV opportunities to justify its withdrawal which the American administration has already decided, after it lost its desire to battle it out with the Mujahideen on the ground. Don’t their mouthpieces affect you.

“So do not become weak, nor be sad, and you will be superior if you are indeed (true) believers.” (Aali Imran:139)

And in order to soothe the hearts which surely be broken after this statement, we announce the first good news, of which more will likely follow, Allah willing, after Allah favors the Mujahideen with its completion. This good news is that many of the truthful people have joined the Islamic State, those with which talks had commenced a short time before the initiative of Sheikh Abu Umar, may Allah have mercy on him. These talks ended with these groups joining the Islamic State. In the lead of these groups was Jaish Abu Bakr Al-Salafi, the majority of its members joining the Islamic State. We only delayed announcing this matter in hope that the rest would also join. We ask Allah that He guides those remaining to the aid in uniting the Muslims, to fulfill this duty and enrage the infidels, to whom we say the following:

Be prepared for bad times, O cowards! Your joy will not last long, O impure nobodies! Though Allah has willed that these two Sheikhs be killed today, they have left behind a new and unique generation who has been reared under their care. You will soon see times in which this generation will whiten the hair of your children. Never forget that the likes of the wombs that bore Khattab and Shamil, Misri and Libi, Al-Uyairi, Abul-Bara Al-Jaza’iri, Abun-Noor Al-Maqdisi, Al-Zarqawi and other heroes are still in existence. The earth has produced its blessed fruits, and the mercy-shown nation has presented its sons and sold them for a meager price in Allah’s Cause, to make the Shariah supreme and in its defense. We will see good times and bad times, but the final end is for the Believers.

“And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allah may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And Allah likes not the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).And that Allah may test the believers and destroy the disbelievers.” (Aali Imran: 141-142)

“And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not.” (Yousuf:21)

IOQM to Hold International Conference on Teaching the Holy Quran

Saudi Arabia- Abdul Basfar, General Secretary of the International Organization for Quran Memorization (IOQM) has confirmed on Tuesday (27/4/2010) that its organization – along with some international Muslim organizations – will hold an international conference on teaching the Holy Quran starting from June 5 to 7, 2010 in Jeddah.

The event themed “Cooperation and Integration of Quran Memorization Organizations” is aimed at spreading the messages of the Quran, being the words of God and a blessing for the universe.

“This conference is first of its kind. There are millions of Muslims who do not even know how to read a small chapter of the Quran,” Basfar said as quoted by ArabNews.

A number of outstanding Muslim scholars in the field of Quranic teaching and Quran memorization have been confirmed to present their research papers at the conference.

Further Basfar wished that the event would be an enlightenment in the field of Quranic teaching and memorization not only in the Arab world, but also in those non-Arab-speaking countries.

IOQM is an organization mainly concerned with teaching Holy Quran and Quran memorization.

It has ran a number of Quranic school in 65 countries worldwide and produced more than 30,000 hafidz (Quran memorizers); meaning that Quran is the most memorized Holy book amongst other Holy books from other religions. (ArabNews/Islaminet)

Somalia’s Al-Sabaab Jihadi Movement Ousts Pirates from Coastal Areas

Somalia- Amidst the growing propaganda by Western mainstream media that Somalia’s Islamic Jihadi movements were behind the pirates in the country’s coast, the current report unveiled that Al-Shabaab Mujahideen (Muslim holy fighters) have successfully ousted pirates from coastal areas in Haradhere, central Somalia.

The area that used to be known ‘haven’ for the Somali pirates has now been liberated from any pirate action because of the commitment by the brave and heroic Al-Shabaab Mujahideen to shape the country peaceful and harmonious under the Islamic law.

Late on Sunday, about hundreds of Al-Shabaab Mujahideen stormed the coastal area, moving from Eldhere city in Galgadud as reported by Gawrowe Online.

Now, the Somali pirates, which have six vessels and 90 captives within, are reported to have moved to another area about 108 kilometers north of Mudug, Hardhere.

The development of Islam in Somalia has been a happiness for the Muslims worldwide and welcomed enthusiastically by the Somali civilians as they could find joyfulness in Islam.

Through the Jihad waged by those Mujahideen either grouped in Hizbul Islam or Al-Shabaab, a government system based on the Islamic law has reached almost 80 % areas of the entire Somalia.

Later on Tuesday, Al-Shabaab Jihadi movement released an official statement saying that they have victoriously taken control on Galgudud region in the central Somalia, meaning that the puppet government in Somalia would be no longer viable.

The representative of Al-Shabaab Jihadi movement, Sheikh Yusuf Sheikh Ise (Kabakutukade) said the Jihadi movement has supplied aid food of WFP to the local people, and encouraged stores managed by puppet government-backed Islamist group Ahlu Sunna Wal Jama’a in Gal’ad and Elder districts.

India- A massive protest was held by Muslims in Jammu District, Kashmir when the Indian government ordered the country’s cable operator to stop airing 12 foreign TV channels.

One pure onset of the protest was the government’s partial ban wherein only foreign Islamic TV channels were banned, while at the same time, a number of foreign un-Islamic TV channels may keep airing.

Syed Fida Hussain, Anjumani Imamia General Secretary said, “There are so many 9foreign) channels like Baba Ram Dev, Bapu Asaram, Sahab Bandigi, and Jain TV that cater to the needs of other communities, but there is no ban on them.”

On Friday (23/4/2010), the Jammu local government issued an official order addressed to the country’s cable operator to take 12 Islamic channels off air.

The 12 Islamic channels banned from airing are Peace TV (Dubai), Quran TV, Hadi TV, Noor TV, ARY, PTV Home, PTV World, Geo TV, Dawn, Express, Waqt and Aaj.

“I cannot guarantee on other channels, but banning Islamic channels like Peace TV and Quran TV is beyond our understanding,” said Zahoor-ud-din, chairman of the Muslim Coordination Committee.

After a week the government issued a policy of banning on SMS messaging across Jammu and Kashmir on security reason, the Indian government tried to be discriminative against Muslim community there by issuing a ban of 12 Islamic channels airing in the region.

The government later lifted the ban on SMS messaging following the public uproar only hours after the policy issued.

Now, the Muslim community in Kashmir is urging the government to take their main Islamic teaching resources on air again, and wishing that there would be discrimination against Muslims no more. (SamayLive/Islaminet)

A Masjid in France Vandalized with 30 Gunshots

France- French Prime Minister Francois Fillon has just recently confirmed that there were about 30 gunshots fired at the facade of a Masjid (mosque) in the southern city of Istres, later on Monday.

There were no casualties reported, but a buthcher’s shop specializing in providing ‘Halal’ meat for the Masjid was also targeted by the fire later on Saturday night.

Using the momentum, French PM Fillon tried to gain sympathy from the French Muslim community by expressing his ‘deep emotion and his support.’

Fillon’s sympathy was tackled by Faouzi Lamdaoui of Socialist Party as claiming that the shooting at the Masjid Istres was a ‘direct consequence of the hazardous policy led by the Fillon government.’

Lamdaoui’s statement here was addressed best to the government’s Islamophobia and its efforts to issue a ban of wearing Islamic burqa and niqab in the public space.

Further Lamdaoui urged the democrats and republicans to thwart the bill of burqa ban, and demanded the France’s police office to conduct an effective investigation at the gunshot at the Masjid Istres.

On the same occassion, Mohammed Moussaoui, the president of an umbrella organization of French Muslim community, remarked that the incident at Masjid Istres deserves more attention amidst mainstream media’s focus on a Muslim man accused of having several wives. (TorontoSun/WorldBulletin/Islaminet)

Sweden’s Skåne Party Uses Offensive Poster Depicting ‘Prophet Muhammad’ Portrayed Naked with Nine-Year-Old Girl

Sweden- The Skåne Party – right-wing and anti-Islam political party in Sweden – had taken into usage a poster of a naked adult holding a nine-year-old girl presumably to be the Prophet Muhammad and Aisha.

In its campaign to the next election, the party had put the posters in twenty different places in Malmo, southernmost province of Scania.

The case of such an awful campaign had been reported to the local police, and the Swedish Muslim Association has also filed a report to the police to arrest at least one person involved in the campaign that sparked Muslims’ angry worldwide.

“The city of Malmo clearly opposes the posters. We appeal to all Muslims not to let themselves be provoked. The Skåne Party is a small, isolated sect,” said Mahmoud Aldebe, the Swedish Muslim Association’s leader.

Asked about the use of such an offensive poster in his party’s campaign, the leader of the party, Carl P Herslow, said that he was ‘attacking Islam,’ not the Muslims.

“There’s no reason for that. We’re attacking Islam, not the people who believe in Islam. We consider Islam to be very dangerous and psyco-social infectious disease,” he the devil Herslow said.

Mahmoud Aldebe further responded to the devil Herslow’s statement as saying, “The party’s posters are hate speech. It is a terrorist sect that should be banned from participating in the fall elections.”

In the 2006 Swedish election, the Skåne Party received only 1.8% votes and therefore was dropped out.

The party alone has been famous for its political view that totally stands against Islam.

Amongst its 12 key policies, the Skåne Party aims to ‘remove’ Islam and want the Muslims to be moved out of Sweden.

“Islam to be removed, the Muslims must move from Sweden,” a point on the party’s website reads.

The phenomenon of depicting the Prophet Muhammad in many Western countries, according to Sheikh Osama bin Laden, is a ‘new Crusade’ against Islam.

In a video tape few moments after a Danish paper republished a cartoon showing the Prophet Muhammad, Sheikh Osama bin Laden said, “The response will be what you see and not what you hear and let our mothers bereave us if we do not make victorious our messenger of God.”

Such a fact then raises doubt amongst the public, especially those ‘moderate’ Muslims who believe in Obama, that Obama’s commitment to shape better ties with the Muslim word is only a clear big fraud.

Amidst the frequent efforts by those anti-Islam either in the America or the Europe to publish offensive drawings of the Prophet Muhammad, the US President Barrack Obama keeps only silent responding nothing.

Sheikh Osama bin Laden had cited his doubt on Obama's promise to shape better ties with the Muslim world by saying that 'Obama follows the footstep of his predecessor (George Bush). (EuropeNews/Islaminet)

United States- It appears that more and more Americans are getting crazy with and fear too much of Islam following its massive development in the world.

That is why; intimidation and racist discrimination never stop to appear in the country – just to mention one of them is the current ‘offensive' words spray painted at Pickering Islamic Center and a campaign of opposing the construction of a Masjid in Brooklyn.

In response to the recent cencorship of Comedy Central’s South Park – which depicted figure Prophet Muhammad in bear suit – a crazy American artist is orchestrating an ‘online exhibition’ of the Muhammad drawings.

Jon Wellington, an Adjunct Professor, set an account on Facebook and called on Facebookers and internet users to submit their own Muhammad drawing on the Facebook account.

Accordingly, he will ‘exhibit’ the submitted Muhammad drawings on May 20, 2010, a day that he will set it “Everybody Draws Muhammad Day.”

“I created a Facebook event because that’s an easy way to remind myself of upcoming events and I thought it might serve that purpose for others too,” he said to Comic Riffs.

Soon this news came to surface, the Muslims worldwide were shocked to know their foremost figure Prophet Muhammad would be insulted in such a shameful way – using art as a means of insulting other faiths.

Unfortunately, there have been so far about 5,000 Facebookers became the members of the group with some of the ‘premature’ drawings submitted are easily to be offensive even though the organizer behind it CACAH (Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor) insists they are not offending.

Responding to the campaign organized by CACAH, a Mujahid propose a “Universal Throw-A-Jew-I-The-Oven Day” that might properly represent the angry feeling amongst the Muslims right now.

Afghanistan- April 25th, 2010 is the day when the US air force assigned in Afghanistan suffer from heavy lost as the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan shot down one more Drone and Apache helicopter.

Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, has confirmed that the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan fired at a low flying US Apache helicopter in the district of Safid Khak, Farah Province.

Further he reported that 13 US terrorist forces inside the helo were killed at once.

“It is worth mentioning that one of the US helicopter was shot down near the airfield of Farah province about two months ago which was declared a helicopter crash as a result of a quick landing,” said Zabihullah Mujahid referring to the mainstream media’s propaganda.

Later on Saturday, another US Drone (pilotless spy place) was shot down in the district of Kajaki District, Helamdn Province.

Such a shameful defeat was also witnessed by the local people saying that they found scattered pieces of the drone at the site near Suzi Karez village.

Youth Mujahideen Movement Release Part 1: "And on That Day the Believers Will Rejoice"

Praise be to God, we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness and guidance and peace and blessings be upon His most honored Prophet and Messenger, our master Muhammad and his family and companions and those after:

After the Mujahedeen reached the heart of the idol of this time (America) and hitting the code of its economy in Manhattan and its seat of pride in the pentagon. Bush announced his ferocious Crusade in the lands of Islam. Somalia was a target in the forefront from the nation of Islam. They came after us with the "Great Horn of Africa" project. This is run by “AFRICOM”, the America in the region.

The Crusader bombs were falling on the young men in The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. However, the pain and groans were here when the Muslim people embody the principle of one body that if one member of the body complained the rest of the body felt pain and sickness. The Mujahedeen resisted in the mountains of "Tora Bora" This became the spark that sent the Youth of Islam the spirit of sacrifice and redemption. America wanted to rectify and boil it and took with warlords and criminal militias sending them as hunting dogs to prevent an explosion of passion which was burning in the hearts of the Believing Youth, fearing they would organize in revolution, and start the other Taliban Emirate here. The situation exploded even more and America had to use the hateful Ethiopian Christians.

Their reaction was - praise be to Allah - very intense and ferocious, more organized and skilled. More and more of the Mujahedeen answered the call; crowds of immigrants and supporters fought against Ethiopia and its agents and broke its resolve. All of their plans failed thanks to Allah and His grace. This is in addition to the recognition by the enemy of failure and loss, and returned to where they came from dragging their tails from defeat and doom, and the Mujahedeen continued to turn to jihad for the sake of Allah. And campaign there dignified with persistence and regeneration; stability and firmness in beliefs. And renewed plans and reality; so came victory and established the Islamic States and the regions complied with the order of Allah and surrendered to his law and governed with it.

"Marches and the Testament"
Imam Ibn Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) says "The first command is trials and tests, and central patience and trust in Allah and in the end is guidance and victory." (Healing the sick - 247).

Movements are measured by the persistence of its principles, which reached via hardships and convenience, and the joys and sorrows. As we live with the change of times it leaves us to assure the Nation of Islam its future state … Sometimes following the calamities and defeats and loss or wealth and our lives and fruits, and sometimes we enjoy the cool victory and empowerment and the ecstasy of victory and the expansion ...

We should not be lost by these fluctuations or lose our balance .. The Young Mujahideen Movement – All Praise to Allah – is still committed to the principles on which it was founded:

- Is still our goal to please Allah with achieving words of Tawheed, which appears in our banner and the Tawheed of the worship of God and to completely follow the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him.

- We are still trying to blow up the buildings of the apostasy and drop secular systems of human beings worshiping human beings, and the establishment of the Islamic system on their ruins and then people worship their Lord, through the application of Islamic law and turning to it.

- We continue to make every effort to unify the Islamic nation of all colors and tongues under the banner of "No god but Allah and Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah” and built on the concepts of this banner is the order which require the support of weak people all over the world and coming to free the prisoners and strive to help the wronged.

- We still believe we are part of the global jihad which requires solidarity, and support, and giving guidance. But more important than this is unity on the words of Tawheed, in compliance with what Allah ordered and to terrorize his enemies he says:

Truly Allah loves those who fight in His cause in ranks as if they were a solid cemented structure (Qur'an as-Saff : 4)

"The bricks of the building cooperate and hold together; every brick has its place in the building, the whole building falls if on brick moves from its place." (In the shades of the Quran)

- We are still trying to restore the usurped lands of Islam, especially the Holy Land, The testament of Allah on us. We have to recover her if we were a state or an army of the Khalifah.

"Follow Do Not Innovate"
While overshadowed by means innovated; pursued by the movements of rationality into slavery and subordination to the West, the means for the Mujahedeen are still firm draws from a particular revelation, and derived from the Prophet peace be upon him:

"So come to fruition in this world before the Hereafter, and Allah with is better and more lasting"

- A genuine call to Allah: who says the Truth does not favor anyone, the call has not been contaminated with ideas and modernity, and did not surrender to reality or flatter tyrants as is the case with the calf scholars and the Imams of the sultans who fell of the side of the road, nor is it affected by pressure and sores beyond the borders and boiling in Takfeer ... Sheikh-ul-islam Ibn Taymiyah says as he commemorates Al-Wasitiyah of the Salaf. "So who is not with them is negligent and who rose above them are Excessive, the negligent people not with them so fell short .. and aspired people above them so exceeded .. Indeed them between that is on the straight path." (Collected Legal Opinions - 4/11).

- Calculation of general understanding: which is to order with good and he leaves it and forbids the evil and enjoins it. Allah opened for us in practice of the calculation a wide open door to protect the society from vice and take them to the virtuous. For the first time in modern Islamic history shows the Army staying late in cities and villages. Between them Jaish Al-Usra in the fronts protecting the houses of Islam from the Aggressors and from the army the calculation made real the wishes of our Muslim nation. By living under the shade of the rule of Islam, they taste freedom of faith

- Jihad in the way of Allah: Who came to its market straight and ripe with the favor of Allah. The Emigrants and Ansar came together racing for martyrdom asking for the profit in the market.

Verily Allah bought from the believers them and their wealth because for them is paradise (Qur'an at-Tawbah : 111)

And there have been things familiar among our people, such as when testimony and martyrdom, and Ribat and the length of the wait, the bombing and the dust, wounding and the wound in the way of Allah, and the war booty and the shade.

"Victory and Empowerment"
Empowerment is not from the matters gained and no-one claims that he finds it deserving. It is a divine grant from Allah giving to whom He pleases of His slaves.

And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors (Qur'an al-Qassas : 5)

Knowing that the aim of Islamic law is to join between good in this life and good in the hereafter. So Allah empowered us to see our matters we used to see in the heart of books and we thought this living is impossible in this time and from it on the way to an example:

Removal of shirks: implication of the way of Al khalil Ibrahim - peace be upon him - in the destruction of the idols. The Mujahedeen carried the axes of Tawhid raising the axe of Ibrahim and removed the idols of shirk and worshiping the shrines. On Abu Umamah ( may Allah be pleased with him), the messenger, peace be upon him, said: "Allah brought me as mercy on the world and my lord ordered me to crush the idolatress", reported by Ahmad and others. Allah purified many groups from our people from worshiping and circling the graves and travel to them, and slaughtering for there followers, and wiping with the dirt for blessings, after seeing the idols eyes don't move and do not help them or harm them, they are guided to Tawheed and leave shirk and censoriousness. So All Praise be to Allah for what we are living in this place in which this good group is not bothered by raised shrines or great graves.

Implementing the Law of Allah: which Allah made available for us securing the way and the kind of security that was not seen in Somalia in the decades of the past. After the fragrance of gunpowder was discharging from the streets and alleyways as if it was a garden of death filled with the blood of the dead. Now eight Islamic provinces became an example of security and stability. We challenge the disbelieving West and what they call "the great nation" and from turning its groups from it organizations subjugation and assaulting and preying on the people "like Blackwater". To achieve such security in this period of time standard with the same limited resources available … And the truth of Allah when He said:

And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life, O you [people] of understanding, that you may become righteous (Qur'an al-Baqarah: 179)

Part 2 Coming Soon Insha’Allah

Islamic State of Iraq Confirms the Martyrdom of Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi, Abu Hamzah Al-Muhajir

Iraq- An official statement issued by the Ministry of Legitimacy of the Islamic State of Iraq confirmed that the Amirul Mukminin (leader of believers) Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi and his Secretary of War Abu Hamzah Al-Muhajir have been martyred on Monday last week.

"After a long journey filled with sacrifices and fighting falsehood and its representatives, two knights have dismounted to join the group of martyrs," the statement said. "We announce that the Muslim nation has lost two of the leaders of jihad, and two of its men, who are only known as heroes on the path of jihad," the beginning of the statement said.

“Our God, it is difficult that we should announce the news of the loss of the Islamic nation once again on two leaders of Islamic Jihad, two male figures; even though we didn’t know about them as heroes but we could still even read the bibliography of the Jihadi movement, borrwed from adversity, ant the severity of infestation and the enemies. They have opened a new chapter for the establishment of a government system based on the law of the Lord of the Worlds in the Land of Iraq,” said Abu Al-Walid Abdul Wahab Al-Mashhadani, the Minister of Legitimacy of the Islamic State of Iraq.

Further on the release, Abu Al-Walid Al-Mashhadani urged the Muslims worldwide – especially those dedicating themselves in the Jihadi movements, not to be sad in a longer time because all the human creatures ‘shall return to Allah the Almighty.’

“Despite the sadness surrounding the hearts of our declaration that a story like this, we should not say except what pleases our Lod, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return, and let’s us ask to God to accept the princes of two people (Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi and Abu Hamzah Al-Muhajir) in the Paradise,” the statement remarked further.

“Brothers, stand firmly on what you are uniformity is good in support of the Allah’s religion and His guardians...” it reads next.

The right way of coping with such an ‘earthquake’ amongst the Mujahideen and Muslims worldwide is to ‘announce the victories achieved by the Mujahideen so far’ remembering this would be much more effective to counter the Western media’s propaganda.

“We should provide the Muslims that the alliance of the crusaders and Shiites will continue to invest this incident (Friday bombing that resulted in 67 Shia followers killed). And they will pressure the media to polish the image of the security services worn by the government in the Green Zone.” (This refers to the way of the Iraq puppet government hides the heavy defeat they suffered so far).

“The announcement of the victory achieved by the Mujahideen is in the most need for the Mujahideen after the earthquake strikes Mujahideen elements that dropped down their prestige,” the statement said.

May Allah accepts Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi and Abu Hamzah Al-Muhajir in the Paradise, Ameen.

4,000 Muslims in Kashmir Pour Down the Street Urging the Govt to ‘Punish the Killers’ of Innocent Muslims

India- On Saturday (24/4/2010) morning, Western media outlet reported four people were wounded as the Indian Policemen opened fire at 4,000 Kashmir Muslims who were pouring down the street asking the government to ‘punish the killers’ two of their Muslim brothers killed by the the country’s troops.

The number of injured protesters is presumably more than four remembering a fact that on Friday (23/4/2010), hundreds of people were protesting the dean sentence given to three Muslims slandered to carry out a bombing in 1996.

The Saturday’s bloody protest was lighted up of a murder to a Muslim civilian who was wrongly blamed to be a militant by the local police early on Saturday.

A local resident of Chawan village, south of Srinagar, Shahid Mairaj, witnessed that some other Muslims were injured when the police shot-dead to a Muslim civilian mistaken to be a militant.

The police backed the shooting as saying that the martyred Muslim civilian had attempted to run away from the police, but Mairaj said that the police had tried to hide the murder from the public notice.

Adding to the rising tension in Kashmir, another Muslim civilian was martyred by troops last week; and the body alone was exhumed after his family insisted he was an innocent civilian and not involved in any militant movement as claimed by the army.

Responding to this, thousands of Muslims poured down the street, threw the police with rocks and set fire at two army vehicles.

They voiced messages to be heard by the government like “We want freedom” and “Punish the killers.”

A local person, Mohammed Maqbool admitted that his son was one the four people wounded by the police bullet during the Saturday’s bloody unrest.

Tension between the Kashmir government and the Muslims has been getting higher and such a protest has been a common thing.

More than 47,000 civilians have been martyred for such a ceaseless clash between the govt’s army and the local Muslim civilians. (AFP/Arrahmah/Islaminet)

England- About 132 schools found in Blackburn, only two schools were valued ‘Outstanding’ by education watchdogs Ofsted; they are Blackburn with Darwen LEA and Tauheedul Islam Girls’ School.

“Being recognised as an outstanding school is always nice. However, the most important driver for everyone at Tauheedul is a commitment to not just achieving excellence, but to sustaining it,” said Patel, principal and chief executive of the school.

Tauheedul Islam Girls’ School got such an award because it has implied the Islamic teachings like the ‘value of discipline, mutual care, and respect’ in the school social circumstance and the wider society.

Since its joining in the local authority in 2006, Tauheedul Islam Girls’ School has taken into usage the Islamic spiritual ethos that is ‘palpable and pemeats all that the school does’ as said by one of the Ofsted inspector, Susan Wareing.

Mrs Wareing further revealed that there had not been a single exclusion at the school since the first time the school joined the local authority in 2006.

“The principal and senior leaders have established a culture of high expectations and the school does excellent work in collaboration with a very wide range of partnership to support students,” she added.

Tauheedul Islam Girls’ School was first founded in 1984, and therefore labeled the first Islamic school in the UK with all the students studying there are only women.

In 2006, the school was awarded Voluntary Aided that led the school to be the first government-funded Islamic school in the North West of England.

Two years later in June 2008, the school, which consistently attains outstanding GCSE results, gained specialist humanities status. (ABNA/Islaminet)

Brooklyn Masjid Construction Efforts Opposed by BayPeople

United States- The initiative of a Muslim community in Brooklyn to have a Masjid (Mosque) built gets an opposition from a group of people calling themselves after “Bay People.”

Through its website BayPeople.org, these kind of people has called for opposition against the construction of a Masjid at the center of a Brooklyn Battle Royale.

Ahmed Allowey, a local Muslim imam, said that he just wanted to have good relations with the Brooklyn people because ‘they are going to be his neighbours.’

Ahmed alone has also filed a proposal of building a Masjid at the location, but Bay People community appeared to sabotage the plan by publishing posters sounding, “We are peaceful people and mostly do not support terrorists.”

Ahmed decries the campaign while assuming that the Bay People have judged them ‘as the people around him are supporting terrorism.’

“It’s kind of upsetting to see that from our neighbours. Because we came here to this country for the freedom and all that. “I’m just American just like everybody else, you know,” said Ahmed.

Grigory Kalman who manages the website admitted he has no idea who wrote the campaign claiming that the campaign just came up unpredictably to their mailboxes.

A brief review of the website, it is found that the Bay People have made wrong prejudice about the mosque especially in the matters of ‘parking, traffic, noise, neighbourhood character, tax status, precedent of the same problem, organization behind the project, shady money trail, and real estate value.’

“In the end we would like to have good relations with our neighbours because they are going to be our neighbours. (However,) they are really stooping to a new low to stop us from practicing our religions,” Ahmed remarked. (Wpix-TV/Islaminet)

Columbia- Jonathan Edward Stone, 20, of Columbia was sentenced to only four years in prison even though his bomb thrown into a Masjid inside the Islamic Center of Columbia resulted in heavy damage.

Not enough for only bombing the Masjid, Stone and his two friends – Michael Corey Golden and Eric Ian Baker – also left some phrases on the wall of the Masjid reading “White Power” and “We run the world” and a symbol of swastika.

Stone’s sentence, which was issued on Thursday (22/4/2010), has also been cut off two years for his time awaiting for federal court.

Compared to his friends’ punishement, Stone’s is much lighter because the two others were sentenced each to 14 years and 15 years in prison.

Golden and Baker were fined about $101,000 in the Masjid restoration, but Stone did not suffer the same.

Local sources later reported that Stone got such a mercy because he agreed to be cooperative and recited testimonies against his own friend Baker.

The Muslims worldwide reacted to this sentence saying that the punishement for Stone is unjust – remembering the facts that Muslims labelled ‘terrorists’ were mostly sentenced to death.

In Indonesia, Amrozi, Ali Gufron, and Imam Samudra were sentenced to death because of being slandered by the US of bombing two evil places (night clubs) in Bali.

Though during the investigation Amrozi was found guilty of carrying out the bombing, he admitted that he attacked only one night club, not two.

Later it was known that the second bombing was resulted from a micro-nuclear bomb, a kind of bomb in that a person like Amrozi would never be able to create. (Tennessean)

Still in America, another Act of Insulting Islam Found near Pickering Islamic Center

America- When the public are still concerned with the case of the South Park’s 200th episode, another act of insulting Islam was discovered near the Pickering Islamic Center on Wednesday (21/4/2010).

This time, the mock took the form of red-inked graffiti painted on the sidewalk in front of the Masjid (mosque) in the Pickering Islamic Center complex at 2065 Brock Rd. N.

Local police official said the spay painted vulgar comments involved the Islamic teaching – while assuming that the words are not threatening but offensive.

“It’s certainly not a coincidence that this anti-Islam language is spray-painted near a place of faith. It’s offensive for us and I’m sure it’s offensive for the community,” said Dave Selby, spokesman of the Durham police.

A team of the local police have been deployed to track and arrest the hate mongers who were predicted to carry out their action late in the Afternoon on April 21st, 2010.

The team is currently reviewing security camera footage and the investigation continues.

The local police has also urged the public to inform the police at 1-888-579-1520 with a cash reward of up to $2,000 for the tipsters.

Such an act of vandalism is just another mock to Islam only after last week the Muslim world was shocked to see how the South Park’s cartoonists were brave enough to depict the Prophet Muhammad in a bear costume. (Vancouverite/TheStar)

Awesome...! These Children Memorize almost all the Quran

United Arab Emirate- Amongst the so many ways offered by Islam to shape a better world is that Muslims should not leave behind the Quran and Sunnah (Prophet’s sayings and deeds).

That is why; the glory of Islam is apparent when all Muslim parents in the world realize the urgency of educating their children with the good deeds based on the Quran and Sunnah.

Recently, Markaz Omar Bin Al-Khattab in Dubai, United Arab Emirate, has just held a Qirath and Hifz (Quran Recitation and Memorization) competition amongst the surrounding Muslim students.

The event took place on Thursday (22/4/2010) at Markaz Omar Bin Al-Khattab – a madrassa run by Auqaf department.

About 40 students at their early ages performed their skills in Quran memorization and recitation to those attending the event.

Some have even memorized the entire Quran at the age of under 10 years old.

Amongst the participants, Naseeha Fakkardey was bestowed upon the best student of the year for her willingness to learn more and more about the Holy Quran.

Attending to the event, Mouland Khwaja Akrami Nadvi, Deputy Qazi of Khalifa Jamatul Muslimeen had an opportunity to address some words emphasizing the need to read Quran well.

He also highlighted the importance of understanding the meaning contained within the Holy Quran, and finally he called on all Muslim parents to provide their children with sufficient knowledge of Islam. (BhatKallys)

Indonesia- It’s been 62 years the Palestinian people suffering from ceaseless invasion, discrimination and intimidation from the Zionist Israel.

Likewise, it’s been almost 65 years the Muslims in the Land of Papua, Indonesia, finding it hard to develop and apply their religious teaching freely because of ceaseless discrimination from non-Muslims in the name of social adat and customs.

For that reason, a group of Indonesian Multiply bloggers initiated to hold “Mpers 4 Palestine: Present for the Palestinians and the Muslims Land of Papua” on next Sunday April 25th, 2010 in Jakarta.

Lulu Basmah, a spokesman of Mpers 4 Palestine, said to Islaminet that the event was based on the horrible facts suffered by those Muslims both in Palestine and those in the Land of Papua, Indonesia.

“(It’s) based on the continuing conflict and the Muslims’ condition there that begins worsening,” she said.

Mpers 4 Palestine is accordingly to facilitate those Indonesian Muslims who want to give donation to those Muslims in either Palestine or Papua.

Basmah further said that she, along with the committee, will be selling Islamic souvenirs, books, and nasheed charity concert, in which all the benefit gained from the event will be tunneled to Palestine and Papuan Muslims.

Mpers 4 Palestine committee, confirmed by Islaminet, has also deliberately asked for Ustadz Samson Rahman, the Arabic-Indonesian translator of Aidh Al-Qarni’s La Tahzan, to give some words about the Muslims in Palestine and more specially in Papua, Indonesia.

Mpers 4 Palestine will be held along with a Tabligh Akbar (mass Islamic oration) and nasheed charity concert for humanity organized together by Komite Nasional untuk Rakya Palestina-KNRP (National Committee for Palestinian People), HPA International, and IZIS Production.

There will be oration from Indonesian and Malaysian prominent figures such as Tuan Haji Ismail bin Ahmad, Prof. Dien Syamsudin, Dra. Yoyoh Yusroh, Ir. Tifatul Sembiring, Dr. Muqaddam Cholil, MA, Dr. Adhyaksa Dault, MA, and Ustadz Fadzian Garamatan (Papuan Muslim scholar).

KNRP was first founded on May 5th, 2006 and is concerned with the problems around the Masjid Al-Aqsa and humanitarian issues in Palestine.

KNRP has been so far undertaking a number of researches and spreading the right opinion on the Masjid Al-Aqsa and humanitarian issues in the Land of Palestine.

The existence of KNRP is also viewed crucial for its role in mediating the Palestinian Muslims and the Indonesian Muslims to make apparent the creation of Muslim unity.

Press Release from Taliban Jihadi Movement: Germany Should not Sacrifice the Historical Relations with the Afghans for the Interests of America

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

In World War II, The Allied Countries, American and U.K. being part of them, were waging war against Germany and Japan. They pressed Afghanistan to side with them in the war and urged to give them the German diplomats based in Afghanistan. But the honor and dignity-loving traditions of the Afghans and the close relations of the Afghan people with the people of Germany did not permit kowtowing before might and material incentives and going back on values and close ties. Afghanistan declared its neutrality in the war and ensured safe passage of the diplomats to their country.

After the World War II, Afghanistan and Germany enjoyed close relations. German engineers and other German nationals were living in Afghanistan without fear and security problems. particularly in Khost where they had technical projects. Generally speaking, they were more safe there than in Germany. Afghans regarded them with due respect. But Unfortunately, after October 2001, when America launched its colonialist aggression against Afghanistan under the unjustified name of fighting terrorism, the government of Germany joined hands with the Americans—contrary to the aspirations of the Afghans. They preferred might and material incentives and did not reciprocate the Afghans’ favor.

In the past nine years, the German soldiers have been fighting against the Afghan people for the advancement of the American colonialist interests and goals. They have martyred many Afghans. On 4 September 2009, American fighter’s planes, on information from German commanders, blindly bombarded civilians who were taking fuel from tankers stuck in mud in a river. 140 people were killed; some of them burnt up completely. The American planes had used phosphorus bombs which are banned at world level. Even the surrogate administration in Kunduz on instructions from the Americans, did not allow the injured victims to go to Kabul for medical treatment. They feared, the world will know about their crimes.

It was more becoming and expected of Germany to have announced postponement of their military cooperation with the Americans after this carnage. They should have withdrawn their troops from the country, but contrarily, they pledged 500 more troops for Afghanistan as a gesture to please the Americans. This is in a time that majority of the people of Germany are against the presence of German troops in Afghanistan, according to fresh surveys and have staged several demonstrations as a protest.

No doubt, the current Jihad against the Americans invasion of Afghanistan and of their allies, is an Islamic nationalist resistance. Sooner or later, they will force the invading troops to flee this country. The government of Germany should respect the wants and aspirations of the German and Afghan people. They should not taint the splendid historical chapter of Afghan- German relations with the dark clouds of their partnership in the current unjust and unfair American war against Afghanistan. It is a rationale to do early what is anyway necessary to be done later--then with heavy losses.

We expect the government of Germany to take people- friendly decisions regarding Afghanistan instead of colonialism-friendly decisions and it is more appropriate for them to pull out of Afghanistan. The sooner, the better-- because, it is key to sustaining the trust and dignity of Germany and strengthening bonds of relations between the two people.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

Qatar- “The Iraq War was about oil...!” At least that is a sentence that could represent the entire thought of Robert Fisk, a British journalist who have spent much of his time writing about Middle-East issue, speaking to Gulf News.

Indeed, though his status as a Western journalist, Fisk has been famous for being contradictive to the Western foreign policy of invading the Islamic Emirate of Iraq under the name of ‘weapons of mass destruction.’

He also admitted he had once spoken against his government’s policy to take part in the Iraq War saying that the Iraq War “is going to be a catastrophe.”

His assertion is apparent today because the foreign invaders in either Iraq or Afghanistan most often to suffer heavy defeat, a price that should be paid for a gallon of oil.

“It (the Iraq War) was about oil. If the major export product of Iraq had been asparagus or potatoes, the 82nd airbone would not have gone into Baghdad,” he said about the consideration behind the Iraq War.

“We were led into it by lies about weapons of mass destruction, non-sense about morality and vanity on the part of Blair,” he said further.

He looked to be unhappy with the ‘arrogant’ action taken by the West following their policy of invading Iraq and Afghanistan without considering the voices from the grassroots.

“A million people march through London and we still go to war,” he remarked referring to the West’s ignorance.

During the long session interview, it is apparent that this renowned British journalist agreed with the existence of secret ‘torture chamber’ aimed to investigate those allegedly involved in ‘terrorism’ and the West misleading propaganda through the media.

“We don’t need torture chambers and secret policemen to enforce consent – with a mixture of the standards of Western journalism and the hypocrisy of Western governments we can do it without them,” he remarked.

Ending his interview, Robert Fisk asserted, “I think that militarily we should be out of the Muslim world – it doesn’t belong to us, they are not our people, we shouldn’t be there.” (GulfNews)
