Female Muslim Fighters of Al-Shabaab Shoulder Weapon to Defend Their Land

Somalia- A recent report of The Sun exposes a group of Mujahidah (female Muslim fighters), presumably to be based in Somalia, are having a practice with their weapons. 

Wearing Islamic Burqa and what the West call ‘traditional Islamic clothes, the Mujahidah of Al-Shabaab is often said to have relation with Al-Qaidah jihadi movement in Somalia.

The Mujahidah is also reported to hold a public parade – for the first time in history – in the capital Mogadishu.

At the public parade, the Mujahidah exhibited their skill in military case, in which they do this to expel foreign invaders from the Land of Somalia.

Strangely, reports widespread in the mainstream Western media call the recruitment of those Mujahidah ‘inhuman,’ while the fact shows that the West often uses female spies in many invasions to the Muslim lands.

Compared to the Somali Mujahidah taking part in military action in effort to defend their land, the West – on the contrary – employ many female spies and often use their bodies for mere sexual object.

A report of Salon(dot)com says more than 160500 American female soldiers take part in military invasion the some Muslim lands such as Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003.

Worse, Us-based veteran advocates claim that 4 percent of total homeless veteran population in the US are women, in which this means that there are 200 homeless female veterans amongst 5,000 American homeless veterans in Connecticut.(Islaminet/Indo-Asian/Salon/PTSD)

West Javanese Muslims Urge Government to Disperse Ahmadiya

Indonesia- Hundred of Muslims in West Java flocked the home of Garut District’s Regent on Wednesday (14/7/2010), urging the local government to disperse Ahmadiya from the region.

The mass were self-admitted from social organizations like Gerakan Anti Ahmadiyah-GERAM (Anti-Ahmadiya Movement), Gerakan Reformis Islam-GARIS (Islam Reformist Movement), Front Pembela Islam-FPI (Islam Defender Front).

During the oration in front of the house of Mr Aceng HM Fikri, the mass distributed leaflets containing legitimate demand to the local government to disperse Ahmadiya sect.

Likewise, the Muslim mass did also urge Mr Aceng, as the highest authority over the district of Garut, to investigate and further fire out his officials who embrace Ahmadiya sect.

“We want Mr Regent to move and take real follow-up to disperse Ahmadiya.

“We want him to soon clear the government up from Ahmadiya followers,” said Mr Mustopa Kamal who was also the organizer of the action.

In many Muslim populated countries, Ahmadiya has been viewed as heretic and 100% un-Islamic for having different Prophet, Holy Book, and Ahmadis – follower of Ahmadiya – do not go to Mecca for pilgrimage.

Indonesian Muslim scholars grouped in Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengkajian Islam-LPPI (Council of Research and Study on Islam) have been in agreement that Ahmadiya is not Islamic for the below reasons:

1.    Ahmadis believe in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the Prophet
2.    Qadyan Ahmadiya possess its own Holy Book called Tadzkirah
3.    Ahmadiya has its own holiest site not in Masjid AL-Haram in Mecca but Qadyan in India.(Islaminet/TribunJabar)

Today, France’s Lower House to Pass a Ban on Burqa, Niqab

France- A report of the Independent says that France’s lower house of Kuffar parliament will pass a ban on Burqa, Niqab and other kinds of Islamic full-face covering.

Amidst condemnation from the Council of Europe and France’s Socialist Party, the Kuffar French government – with such a move – will be the second European country that legalizes ban on Islamic full-face veil.

The ban passed today will be tunneled to the Senate in September to meet the procedure of passing a law in France, which is home to the largest Muslim population in Europe.

Muslims worldwide can now only hope that the bill will be rejected when it comes to France’s constitutional watchdog after being passed by both the lower house of parliament and Senate.

Some experts on state law believe there is a chance the bill on the burqa/miqab ban deemed unconstitutional and shot because it stigmatize Muslims in general.

It is unfortunate that the move was taken just several days after some British Muslims staged a protest against ‘ideological attack’ on Islam and Muslims held in the city center of Cardiff.

Muhammad Abu Yaffir, organizer, said “This isn't just about Muslim women being asked to cover their faces, this is an ideological attack on Islam and Muslims.”

Dated back to May this year, the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe – which consists of 47 member countries within – expressed its stance against the ban on Islamic full-face covering.

The Council of Europe, which is one of the oldest international organization concerned with European integration, believes that women should be free to wear Burqa, Niqab, or Hijab if they want to.(Islaminet/Independent)

Plan to Build a Masjid in Temecula Finds Obstacle from Christian Pastor

United States- A project to build a 24,950-square-foot Masjid on Nicolas Road of Temecula Valley is receiving fierce obstacles, especially from a local Christian pastor who blindly claimed that Islam was spread by ‘whatever means necessary.’

It was Pastor Bill Rench of the Calvary Baptist Church who said the accusation as saying, “Where it's dominant, religious freedom goes out the window ... the message of Islam is the spread of Islam by whatever means necessary.”

Further he spoke more reason behind his opposition to the Masjid building project, which is planned to stand next to the Church, as remarking that the project is just like putting ‘oil and water together.’

“It’s certainly a religion that is not only different but contrary to Christianity. It is almost like trying to put oil and water together,” he said as cited by PE(dot)Com while making a report on the Masjid building project that is estimated to spend $800,000 to $1 million.

Affad Sheikh of The Council on American-Islamic Relations responded to the statement of Pastor Bill Rench.

“When churches decide to expand or build facilities, what's the purpose behind that? Why is this question being asked of the Muslim community?” Mr Affad Sheikh said rhetorically.

Mr Affad Sheikh also called the statement made by Pastor Bill Rench ‘ignorant’ and ‘bigoted’ for the phobia on Islamic expansion.

“You have a community in your backyard and you don't even know this community. And you're making these statements -- it speaks to how much ignorance there is,” said Mr Affad Sheikh defending the project to build the Masjid that will accommodate about 150 to 200 Muslim families.

Support to the Masjid did likewise come from a retired United Methodist Mr Merle Lehman who expressed his strong ‘Amien’ to the project as he knows well Mr Imam Mahmoud Harmoush – the Imam (leader) of the Islamic Center of Temecula Valley.

“(Harmoush) brought (the mosque) before us from time to time and we support them. There are oodles and oodles of American Muslims and almost all of them are not extremists. They are not terrorists,” Mr Lehman said.

Mr Imam Mahmoud Harmoush alone believes that the existence of a Masjid for the growing Muslim population in this ‘Christian-dominated’ area will be able to tackle misconception about Islam and Muslims.

“Muslims are people you see every day in normal life situations,” said Mr Imam Mahmoud Harmoush who is active in Interfaith Council of Murrieta & Temecula Valley, a group dedicated to religious harmony. (Islaminet/PE)

British Muslims Stage Protest against ‘Ideological Attack’

United Kingdom- A number of British Muslims, grouped under Ummah of Muhammad, staged a protest in the city center of Cardiff, bringing placards and posters sounding Muslims’ voices against ‘Ideological Attack’ on Islam.

Held on Saturday (10/7/2010), the protest – said the organizer Muhammad Abu Yaffir – was a response to the growing number of ‘oppression’ on Muslims across Europe.

Oppression here, Abu Yaffir added, takes the form of the approval Kuffar state laws that are specially addressed to Islam and Muslims, such as the ban on the building of minarets in Switzerland and the ban on Burqa/Niqab in France and Belgium.

“This isn't just about Muslim women being asked to cover their faces, this is an ideological attack on Islam and Muslims.

“Muslims feel very strongly about these laws being introduced across Europe,” Abu Yaffir remarked as quoted by the BBC.

Dated back to March this year, the high committee of Belgian Kuffar lawmakers voted to issue a bill on banning any kind of full Islamic face veil, in which the ban will be imposed in all public space including streets, public gardens, sport halls, and public service offices.

In Switzerland, Swiss Muslim converts admitted that they often received intimidation after the Swiss government established a policy of banning the building of minaret.

British Muslims cannot stand still amidst such a growing intimidation addressed to Islam and Muslims by holding the Saturday’s protest as part of their ‘responsibility to respond’ to the needs of other Muslims.

“Wherever Muslims feel pain anywhere in the world it is our responsibility to respond to their needs. The laws being proposed are a form of oppression and we will respond to this oppression,” added Mr Abu Yaffir.

During an oration in front of the mass, Mr Abu Yaffir accused countries like France, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Canada and the UK of introducing Kuffar laws that were anti-Islam.

Uprising a poster written ‘Against Alliance of Crusade,” one Muslim taking part in the protest said that those countries are in conspiracy against Islam and the growing number of Muslim converts throughout Europe.

For that reason, it is true when the Quran says, “Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion (Al-Baqarah [2]: 120).”(Islaminet/BBC)

Somalia-based Jihadi Movements Agree to Unite against Puppet Government

Somalia- Two leaders of Somalia-based Jihadi movements, Al-Shabab and Hizb Al-Islam, are reported to have held a meeting aimed at uniting their Mujahideen (plural for Muslim fighter) against the puppet government and African Union terrorists.

Sheikh Abdi Mohamud Godane a.k Abu Zubeir and Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, further, have agreed to unite against the Kuffar government of Somalia after a talk held in Mogadishu on Friday (09/7/2010).

This brings possibility that a big offensive Jihadi operation will be carried out sooner or later addressed to the ‘African invaders’ and the ‘apostate’ government of Somalia that is led by Sharif Sheikh Ahmad.

“The two leaders met yesterday and discussed a broad unity agreement in order to launch a big offensive against the African invaders and their apostate government,” said a senior Al-Shabab Mujahid whose name cannot be disclosed.

The meeting alone is a response to Sharif Sheikh Ahmad’s call for additional 2000 terrorists to be sent to Somalia as part of his efforts to defend the puppet and kuffar government.

Sharif Sheikh Ahmad is also reported to have summoned for regional power to step up the fight against the growing number of Mujahideen in Somalia when he was participating at the East African regional meeting.

In Somalia’s capital of Mogadishu, there have been about 6000 terrorists originally from Burundi and Uganda assigned to guard the territory of Sharif Sheikh Ahmad’s puppet government that comprises only 8 kilometer square in Mogadishu.

Struggle to establish an Islamic state in the Land of Somalia has now become apparent following the meeting held on Friday after dating back to April this year, the two Jihadi movements agreed to invite Sheikh Usama bin Ladin to Somalia.(Islaminet/PressTV)

News on Mullah Omar’s Arrest ‘False, Propaganda’ – Taliban Spokesman

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan- Spokesman of the Islamic State of Afghanistan, Qari Muhammad Yousuf Ahmad, has confirmed on Tuesday (6/7/2010) that the report on the arrest of Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid is ‘false and a propaganda.’

Formerly it was reported that the Amir Al-Mukminin (leader of the believers) Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid had been captured by the Pakistai terrorist forces in Karachi in March this year.

However, in a statement to the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP), Qari Muhammad Yousuf Ahmadi said the news was falsely created as such by the US in order to ‘create tension’ amongs the Muslim worldwide.

“Reports of the arrest of Amirul Moemineen, Mulla Muhammad Omar Mujahid, are totally false and a propaganda. The United States want to hide their defeat in Afghanistan and create tension in the Muslim world,” he said.

Qari Muhammad Yousuf Ahmadi, who is also the field Mujahid reporter of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, further said that the Amir Al-Mukminin Mullah Omar is ‘safe and sound’ under the protection of Allah Almighty and surrounded by the Mujahideen.

“Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid is safe and sound and leading Mujahideen in Afghanistan,” he added.

Such propaganda, he added, was often aired and broadcasted throughout the world by the mainstream media.

Www.Islaminet.net alone has a number of coverage on such a propaganda on the media just like the report on the death of two Taliban’s top leaders Qari Ziaur Rahmah and Maulvi Faqir Muhammad backed in April 2010.

Still in April 2010, another spokesman of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Zabihullah Mujahid denied news on the interview between The Sunday Times and two members of Taliban’s Quetta Shura, in which the fraud interview said that Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid ‘no longer aims to rule Afghanistan.’

For that reason, Qari Muhammad Yousuf Ahmadi expressed huge disappointment to the mainstream media as saying, “It is regretted that some media outlets are used for the interest of United States as sometime it says that Sirajuddin Haqqani has met Karzai while on the other time it says that Taliban have started secret talks with government.”

“It is the habit of infidel media that it does not exercise freedom and work for infidelity. We once again urge media to publish facts,” he remarked.

In addition to the confirmation that the Amir Al-Mukminin Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid is safe, Qari Muhammad Yousuf Ahmadi said that Muslims and Mujahideen worldwide are ‘fully satisfied’ adding that Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid can still lead a number of attack to the foreign invaders along with the Mujahideen.

“We are fully satisfied that Amirul Moemineen is free and leading the Mujahideen,” he added.(Islaminet/AIP)

The Mumbai-based Muslim Scholar specialized in comparative religious study was scheduled to deliver a public lecture at the Metro Toronto Convention Center on Saturday July 6th, 2010.

However, fifteen minutes just before coming to the stage, the live video lecture at Journey of Faith was suddenly cancelled.

“He was asked not to talk by who I cannot disclose,” said Mr Said Ragaeh looked to be threatened.

“But we wanted him to talk. We wanted to hear from him,” added Mr Said Ragaeh as cited from The Star.

With the cancellation he received at the Metro Toronto Conference Center, Dr Zakir Naik has been twice banned from delivering public speech about Islam and making the misconception on Islam fades away in the West.

Just two weeks later, the author of “Answer to Non-Muslim’s Common Question about Islam" was also denied entry to UK for preaching at Al-Khair peace Conference in London and Sheffield.

In response to the discriminative acts against Islam and Muslim in the US, one attendee named Noman Bokhari expressed his disappointment as saying that the cancellation a ‘big time disappointing.’

Mr Noman Bokhari said, “Whoever’s speaking truth is not welcomed at places sometimes these days.”

Dr Zakir Naik, who was well-known for being able to tackle Christians’ ‘war-of-thoughts,’ is actually the one misrepresented by the mainstream media.

While many Christians and Anti-Islam are afraid of him, many Muslims and justice-hunter Americans claimed that Dr Zakir Naik is the ‘perfect representative of Islam’ as said by two other attendees Sisters Razia and Nadia Ferotan.

“We were looking forward to it because of all the controversy. We have been watching his speeches online and he has been portrayed as someone he definitely is not and people are really taking his words and mixing them up,” said Sisters Razia.(Islaminet/Star)

Press Release from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: International Robbers and Afghan Underground Wealth

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

Now when the American militants have loudly accepted their defeat in the Afghan battlefield with the realization of being unable to retain a single foot of land, they have started an International Satanic Game. In order to prolong the war, the American aggressors are persuading their allies for further stay in Afghanistan through political and monitory bribe.

While citing the American geologists’ report, the American General David Petraeus in an interview with ‘New York Times’ said that Afghanistan has precious deposits worth $ 1 trillion and if these are mined it will make Afghanistan an economically stable country. He also said that some of these deposits can be helpful in military field besides bringing economic profit.

The chat about mineral in Afghanistan by a top military general being involved in the Afghan War reflects the deep American interests in the underground wealth of Afghan people. In fact, it’s not his duty to share the details about minerals Afghanistan rather he is supposed to lead the occupation forces on their war front. Hence, the interest shown by David Petraeus reveals the secret Americans plans to loot the Afghan deposits of great important through contracts made by their puppets in Kabul.

Reliable sources also report that the big American companies and important business figures have shares in these contracts for looting the precious natural resources. The fact which essentially makes every Afghan worried is that the deposits of uranium lie in the areas where Americans have built huge bases as preplan to loot the Afghan wealth. Allah knows how many planes bound for Washington are loaded each day from these bases.

Sources inform the Americans have awarded permissions to the countries after taking surety of helping the American militants to a certain period. The analysts say that contracts for mining Afghan natural resources stand illegitimate and immoral in the situation where a puppet regime is in place while the occupation forces are furthering their war plans. In such conditions the Afghan masses and soldiers of the historical resistance reserves the right to bar them and save the Afghan wealth by making the heinous design of international looters and thief unsuccessful.

Israeli Terrorist Govt. Extends Ban on Palestinian Muslim Scholars from Entering Masjid Al-Aqsa

Palestine- Israeli terrorist Government’s Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, said on July 2nd, 2010 that ban on Palestinian Muslim Scholar, Mr Ekrima Said Sabri, will be extended for the next six months.

The decision was taken in response to the request of Knesset Member Ibrahim Sarsour who demanded Barak to reconsider the decision.

However, Barak immediately rejected the appeal as saying that the ban was in accordance to the Emergency Law of 1945.

“The decision is in accordance to the Emergency Law of 1945, and is based on the recommendations of the Israeli security (read ‘terrorism’) forces who believe that if Sabri were to enter Masjid Al-Aqsa, he would threaten general security,” Ehud Barak said.

Mr Sarsour then responded to the statement of Ehud Barak as claiming that the extension of the ban on Mr Ekrima Said Sabri is part of Israel’s plans for Jerusalem and Masjid Al-Aqsa.

“The decision is part of Israel’s plan to Judaize Jerusakem, to control the Islamic sacred places,” Mr Sarsour said further.

Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri is not the only Muslim scholar restricted from entering Masjid Al-Aqsa.

Amongst the names of Muslim scholars denied entry to Masjid Al-Aqsa were Hatim Abdulqader – serving for the Jerusalem portfolio in the Fatah movement – and Sheikh Ra’ed Salah – head of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement inside Israel.

Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri, who has a doctorate from Al-Azhar University, was the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine during the period of October 1994 to July 2006.

He used to be frequent preacher at Masjid Al-Aqsa and back the Jihadi movement under the name of ‘Intifada,’ which has proven to be successfully bring down the mentality of the Israeli terrorists.

Talking to the Middle East Media Research Institute in October 2000, Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri said that the Jihadi movement Intifada is ‘necessary’ in order to inform the world that Muslim will not stay silent when Israeli terrorists are capturing the Islam’s third holiest place Masjid Al-Aqsa.

“The current Intifada [...]is a religious outburst, because it relates to the Al-Aqsa mosque. I think we must try to reduce the number of casualties by reducing the clashes. Nevertheless, the Intifada is necessary so that everybody will know that we are not going to sit still about this,” remarks of Sheikh Ekrima Said sabri.(Islaminet/ArabNews)

Pakistan ‘Safeguarding’ Islam by Monitoring Internet Giants

Pakistan- Pakistani government has attempted to ‘safeguard’ Islam by monitoring internet giants to prevent offensive contents to Islam – that’s Islaminet.net understands.

Internet giants like Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Bing, Msnm, and Hotmail are now under continuous scrutiny of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority for showing links that are blasphemous and offensive to Islam.

This means that all links appearing to attack Islam will be blocked without ‘disturbing’ the entire websites.

“If any particular link with offensive content appears on these websites, the link shall be blocked immediately without disturbing the main website,” said the spokesman of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority Khurram Mehran.

The policy has come into effect since June 26th, 2010 after a ruling by a judge in the city of Bahawalpur in the case of websites considered anti-Islam such as Youtube and eight websites.

With the policy comes into impact, there have been 17 anti-Islam websites blocked, including IslamExposed(dot)Blogspot(dot)com that posted writing entitled “Islam: The Ultimate Hypocrisy.”

One online shop, Amazon, has also suffered from significant decrease in gaining benefit from the selling of Salman Rushdie’s books such as the Satanic Verse, which has been banned in many countries.

The Pakistani people, especially the Pakistani Muslims, welcomed the policy heartily as saying that this could prevent online event like “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” on May 2010.

In Indonesia, such a breakthrough in safeguarding Islam from offensive online materials will also be taken following  the massive protest against ‘Everybody Draw Muhammad Day.”(Islaminet/AsiaNews)
