<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone" title="Islam" src="http://www.zawaj.com/askbilqis/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/dua-woman-at-sunset.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Kuffar&#8221; or &#8220;Kaffer&#8221; which appears in Quran, right? It litterally means &#8220;non-believer&#8221;, but it has also another meaning, that is used a lot in Quran &#8211; other meaning is &#8220;<em>the one who do not thank / or the one who refuse to thank&#8221;</em> and the point is&#8230; &#8220;How to show thankful feeling towards god&#8221;<br />
God has given many gifts to human, some people were given the gift of being more pretty than others, somewere given so much money, and some were given more intellegence than others.Using the gift you were given in the way that God wants is what is meant by &#8220;Thanking God&#8221;&#8230;So if someone use the  money he got to help others, and improve the quality of life on earth, we say he is thanking god for what he got.</p>

<description><![CDATA[What should one do if one&#8217;s neighbour serve one with chrismas food on the 25th of December. Sh]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span class="question">What should one do if one&#8217;s neighbour serve one with chrismas food on the 25th of December. Should we pour away the food or should we reject it even if rejecting it can cause misunderstanding with them.</p>
<p></span></p>
<div class="answer">Praise be to Allaah.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">It is permissible for a Muslim to accept gifts from the      kuffaar or to give them gifts, especially if they are relatives. The      evidence for that is as follows:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">(a)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">It was narrated that Abu Humayd al-Saa’idi said: We went on      campaign with the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)      to Tabook, and the king of Aelia gave the Prophet  (peace and blessings      of Allaah be upon him) a white mule and a cloak, and he (the Prophet       (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) approved of him as the ruler of      his land. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2990).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">(b) It was narrated that Katheer ibn ‘Abbaas ibn ‘Abd      al-Muttalib said: ‘Abbaas said: I was present with the Messenger of Allaah       (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the day of Hunayn. Abu      Sufyaan ibn al-Haarith ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib and I stayed close to the      Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and did      not leave him. The Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah      be upon him) was riding a white mule of his, that had been given to him by      Farwah ibn Nufaathah al-Judhaami. Narrated by Muslim (1775).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">It was proven that the Sahaabah also (accepted gifts from the      kuffaar) with the permission of the Prophet  (peace and blessings of      Allaah be upon him) during his lifetime. The mother of Asma’ bint Abi Bakr –      who was a mushrikah – visited her daughter and the Prophet  (peace and      blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave permission to Asma’ (may Allaah be      pleased with her) to uphold ties of kinship with her. And it is proven that      ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab gave a suit to his brother who was a mushrik. Both      hadeeth are narrated in al-Saheehayn.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">To sum up: it is permissible for a Muslim to give gifts to a      kaafir and to accept gifts from him.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Secondly:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">With regard to gifts given on their festivals, it is not      permissible to give or accept them, because that is venerating their      festivals and expressing approval of them and helping them in their kufr.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him)      said:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">If someone gives a gift to the Muslims on these festivals and      that is contrary to his habit at all other times apart from this festival,      then his gift is not to be accepted, especially if the gift is something      that is used to imitate them, such as giving candles and the like at      Christmas, or giving eggs, milk and lambs on Maundy Thursday, which comes at      the end of their fast (Lent).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Similarly, no gift should be given to any of the Muslims on      these festivals because of the festival, especially if it is something that      is used to imitate them, as we have stated above.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">The Muslim should not sell the things that Muslims could use      to imitate them on that festival, such as food, clothing and the like,      because that is helping them in doing evil.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Iqtida’ Siraat al-Mustaqeem, p.      227.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">And he (may Allaah have mercy on him) also said:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">As for the Muslim selling them things that they use for their      festivals, such as food, clothing, herbs and the like, or giving those      things to them, that is a kind of helping them to celebrate their haraam      festival. This is based on the principle that it is not permissible to sell      to the kaafirs grapes or juice that they can use for wine, and it is not      permissible to sell them weapons with which they can fight the Muslims.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Iqtida’ al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem,      p. 229</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said concerning      the festivals of the People of the Book:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Just as it is not permissible for them to celebrate them      openly, it is not permissible for the Muslims to help them in that or attend      with them, according to the consensus of the scholars. This was stated      clearly by the fuqaha’ who follow the four imams, in their books.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Then he (may Allaah have mercy on him) quoted the words of      the imams of the madhhabs and the prominent scholars.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah      (3/1245-1250).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">See also the answer to question no.     <a href="http://islamqa.com/index.php?ref=12666&#38;ln=eng">12666</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Thirdly:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">It is not permissible for the Muslim to take religious      matters lightly. He must practise his religion openly. They practise their      religion openly and display its symbols during these festivals; we should      also openly reject their gifts and refuse to join them and help them in      that. This is one of the teachings of our religion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">We ask Allaah to help us to understand the rulings of our      religion and to help us to act upon it and adhere to it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">And Allaah knows best.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 05 | Size: 1 MB A question ans]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/ra8685.jpg" alt="http://i47.tinypic.com/ra8685.jpg" width="400" height="352" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid &#124; Language: English &#124; Format: PDF &#124; Pages: 05 &#124; Size: 1 MB</strong><br />
A question answered by Shaikh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid regarding: <span style="color:#800000;">&#8220;I would like to no if it is haram to go to the sydney royal easter show. although it is called the easter show it really has nothing to d with easter. i like to go for the craft, fruit, animal shows, they all hav nothing to do with easter.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000080;">Praise be to Allah.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It is not permissible for a Muslim to take part in the festivals and innovated celebrations of the kuffaar, such as Easter, Christmas and so on, because taking part and attending is helping in this evil, and increasing their numbers, and imitating them, all of which is not allowed. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;">“Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment”</span> <span style="color:#ff0000;">[al-Maa’idah 5:2]</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (4031); classed as Sahih by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel (5/109).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ibn al-Qayyim said:</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It is not permissible for the Muslims to attend the festivals of the mushrikeen, according to the consensus of the scholars whose words carry weight. The fuqaha’ who follow the four schools of thought have stated this clearly in their books… Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a Sahih isnaad from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab that he said: “Do not enter upon the mushrikeen in their churches on the day of their festival, for divine wrath is descending upon them.” And <span style="text-decoration:underline;">‘Umar also said:</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">“Avoid the enemies of Allah on their festivals.” Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a jayyid isnaad from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr that he said: “Whoever settles in the land of the non-Arabs and celebrates their new year and festival and imitates them until he dies in that state, will be gathered with them on the Day of Resurrection.” (Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah, 1/723-724) The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked about Argentinean national celebrations and celebrations that are held in their churches such as Independence Day, and Christian Arab celebrations such as Easter.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">They replied: It is not permissible for Muslims to hold such celebrations or attend them or participate in them with the Christians, because that is helping in sin and transgression, and Allah has forbidden that. And Allah is the Source of strength. End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah al- Daa’imah (2/76).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">To sum up: It is not permissible to celebrate the festivals of the kuffaar or to participate in them, whether they do any religious practices in them or limit it to play and entertainment, because just celebrating it is a haraam innovation, but attending their religious rituals is more haraam. The Muslim should spend this day like any other day, and not have any special food or drink on it, or do anything else to show happiness that is done by those who celebrate this festival, such as going out to parks, funfairs and so on, so as to disavow himself of the sins of approving or taking part. And Allah knows best.<!--more--></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#888888;">Ibrahim Sajid Malick</span></p>
<p>A look back at Pakistan’s history exposes the hypocrisy of such assertions. It was, in fact, during Gen.Zia ul Haq’s rule that the US was allowed to construct five ‘intelligence and recon basses’ in Pakistan. It was under Gen. Musharaf’s rule that Pakistan compromised the security of it’s nuclear assets, allowed drone attacks, handed over Pakistani civilians to the CIA and allowed Blackwater to launch covert operations.</p>
<p><strong>Blackwater operatives have been working under a covert program run by the Joint Special Operations Command, the military’s top covert operations force. The previously undisclosed JSOC operations would mark the first known confirmation of U.S. military activity inside Pakistan.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This was possible because in 2006 Gen. Pervez Musharaf struck a deal with the Bush administration that allows U.S. Special Operations forces from the Joint Special Operations Command to enter Pakistan with the understanding that they were, “following the target.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Indeed, if you read Pakistan’s short history you will find that our Army has always served America’s interest and its foreign policy has been congruent with US policy in the region. Although our nation’s key decision to stand in America’s camp pre-dates the Ayub regime, it was during our first martial law that Pakistan’s anti-imperialist forces were completely crushed.</strong></p>
<p>Two more significant telegrams sent from the US embassy in Karachi clearly indicate that: America was fearful of Pakistan’s left inclined politicians and Ayub Khan was being encouraged to take control ie. “a coup by a military dictatorship”.</p>
<p>I will be adding to more documents here to deconstruct the notion that Pakistan’s army is anti-imperialist. Secondly, I will also continue to question the assertions of many that Pakistan’s Army is truly religious. It only promoted and protected Islamist elements to serve U.S. interests. Ironically Pakistan’s army also promoted westernized voices in early parts of it history, also at the behest of it’s American masters. A religious bigot like Zia ul Haq was built-up when America wanted to exploit religious sentiments. And, Gen. Musharaf was nurtured as a ‘westernized’ voice when that was the need of the day. This willingness to be anything the U.S. wants is often observed by Pakistan watchers who say: if America wants a transvestite, the Pakistan army will hurry up and promote a hijra through it’s rank.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Question: Assalamu &#8216;alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, to proceed: I have read the second p]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Question:</em></p>
<p><em>Assalamu &#8216;alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, to proceed:</em></p>
<p><em>I have read the second part of your book, at-Tibyaan fi Kufri man a&#8217;aan al-Amreekaan, the title of which is: &#8220;The Crusade Campaign in its Second Phase: War on Iraq&#8221;, and I benefited much from what you mentioned from rulings regarding this campaign, like the ruling on supporting America, and the ruling on supporting the Iraqi government, and the ruling on supporting the Muslim nation in Iraq.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Except, there was a matter that was not mentioned despite its importance, and it is: What is the ruling upon doing Jihaad against the Americans, and fighting them outside Iraq, like attacking their interests and bases and hitting them in different places of the world, and this is regarded from Jihaad? And do they have a covenant with us, in those countries were they do not [openly] fight us in? And is the saying of the Messenger sallallahu &#8216;alayhi wa salam, &#8216;Whoever kills a person under covenant will never smell the fragrance of paradise&#8221;&#8216; And if we say that they are not under covenant, but fighting them would result in greater disadvantage, [would it then be] legislated to fight them?<br />
Jazakumullah khayr.</em></p>
<p>Answer:</p>
<p>Wa &#8216;alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, to proceed:</p>
<p>Undoubtedly then, that the greatest of enemies of Islaam, and the Muslims in this era are those Americans, and if we wished to follow-up on their crimes against Islaam and its people in the recent times we would have spent ages on it; for they have killed nations of Muslims, in Iraq and Afghanistan alone almost two million, and have embargoed nations, and expelled nations, and brainwashed nations, and plundered the riches of the Muslims, and occupied much of their land, and placed tawagheet on the people, and they did in this ummah what no one did in ancient or recent history.</p>
<p>And today, we see them launching the thousands of rockets and tonnes of bombs on the heads of the Muslims everywhere, and they do not differentiate between a child, an old man, and a woman!</p>
<p>And why should they differentiate?!</p>
<p>For the Muslims, in thier eyes, are nothing but a collection of insects, whose extermination from this world is necessary.</p>
<p>So doing Jihaad against those cursed ones, and awaiting for them, and fighting them wherever they may be is: from the most important of obligations, and the greatest of things that can bring you close [to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala]; for they have corrupted the lands, and killed many of the servants, and fought the Muslims everywhere, so there is no doubt that they are the &#8216;leaders of disbelief&#8217; in this era, without dispute, and Allah, the Most High has said, &#8216;So fight the leaders of kufr, verily they have no protection&#8217;, and if I had ten spears [only], I would have thrown it all at them, and no one else except them, and I swear by Allah: If my chance to do a martyrdom operation against them becomes easy, I will do it without any hesitance whatsoever&#8230;</p>
<p>And if Allah raises from amongst this ummah of one billion a thousand &#8211; only &#8211; from the &#8216;martyrdomers&#8217; who quake their bases and interests everywhere, they would have defeated them and returned them humilated losers&#8230;</p>
<p>So what a shame:<br />
Do those pharoah&#8217;s enslave the Muslims, and taste them the severest of punishments everywhere, and then find no resistance, rather they find protection from the tawagheet and their slaves?</p>
<p>And know, my dear brother, that the doubt of the one who prohibits fighting them and killing them in other than the lands in which they fight in is one of two:</p>
<p>The first: The doubt of the covenant:</p>
<p>So they say: They have a covenant with us, and whoever kills a covenant-holder does not smell the smell of paradise as is clear in the hadeeth.</p>
<p>The second: The doubt of the advantages and disadvantages:</p>
<p>So they say: Fighting them causes tribulation upon this ummah that it cannot handle.</p>
<p>So we say in reply:</p>
<p>As for the covenant, then no wallah, there is no covenant between us and them, nay, they are harbiyoon wherever they reside and live, even if they became attached to the coverings of the Ka&#8217;bah, for the covenants that the governments did with those crusaders is not recognised in the sharee&#8217;ah, rather it is based upon the charters of the false-dietic United Nations, and was signed by individuals who have no conciousness of Allah in their actions, and nothing is more important to those individuals more than preserving their thrones and status, even if the covenant was recognised, they would be considered as having broken that covenant in the tens, nay hundreds even; like their declaring that this is a crusade and fighting us due to our religion, to expelling the Muslims from their lands, to supporting those who expelled them, to violating many of the treaties, to involving themselves [in corrupting] the Islaamic rulings, to supporting the enemies of Islaam everywhere, to following up and spying on the Mujahideen on earth, and killing them, and imprisoning them, to plundering the treasures of the Muslims, and other than this from the matters of which a tenth would be enough to invalidate their covenant had it been shar&#8217;ee.</p>
<p>If the covenant between the Messenger, sallallahu &#8216;alayhi wa salam and Quraysh was nullified due to Qurayh&#8217;s support for Bakr over Khazaa&#8217;ah secretly, and for once only, so what of the actions of America which cannot be counted or numbered in this day and age&#8230;</p>
<p>Furthermore, it is not from the shar&#8217;ee covenants to allow the Crusaders and give them protection so that they may hit the Muslims however they want&#8230;</p>
<p>And praise be to Allah, I have detailed the proofs and statements to establish that there is no covenant between us and those crusaders, and that between us and them is nothing except the sword, as well as refuting many of the doubts casted in this matter in the book Nashr al-Bunood and I will release it soon insha&#8217;Allahu ta&#8217;ala.</p>
<p>As for the issue of advantages and disadvantages, then it is correct; for the matter if its disadvantages is greater than its advantage then it does not become permissible at that moment, except I notify you of two matters:</p>
<p>First: The advantages and disadvantages here are the shar&#8217;ee advantages and disadvantages, not the ones imagined [by some people].</p>
<p>Second: The people who sould look at the benefits towards the Jihaad of such actions and their harms are the Mujahideen, not the sitting ones who don&#8217;t even know how to use a gun!</p>
<p>This is what I have to say in this short reply, and I have lengthened the talk about these matters in two books, that I will release soon insha&#8217;Allah &#8211; if Allah protects me from his enemies -:</p>
<p>One of them is, Nashr al-Bunood, mentioned above.<br />
The second is the third part of at-Tibyaan fi Kufri man a&#8217;aan al-Amreekaan.</p>
<p>I ask Allah subhanah, to grant victory to Islaam and its people, and to destroy America and its allies, and to cure our hearts from them, and to remove their envy towards us, and peace and blessings be upon our Messenger Muhammed.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Umat Islam diseluruh dunia dan kaum kuffar diseluruh penjuru dunia memiliki pandangan khusus terhadap Indonesia ketika memandang umat Islam. umat Islam dipandang dunia lantaran Indonesia adalah negeri terbesar penduduk kaum Muslim.begitu juga dengan kaum kuffar memandang kaum Islam dengan pandangan yang sama. namun keduanya berbeda makna kandungan dan tujuan pandanganya.<br />
<!--more--><br />
Umat Islam dunia memandang dengan pandangan kasih sayang terhadap sesamamnya dengan harapan umat muslim adalah satu tubuh. jika demam maka seluruh umat Islam akan merasa sakit, jika tersakiti akan membela dan mempertahankannya. itulah makna dan kandungan pandangan mata khusus umat Islam diseluruh dunia terhadap Indonesia. sedangkan kaum kuffar memandang dengan pandangan kekhawatiran dan ketakutan akan bangkitnya potensi dan kekuatan umat Islam Indonesia.</p>
<p>Hal ini dapat kita lihat dan dirasakan bagaimana para ulama dunia yang menjadi pewaris Nabi dan benteng pertahanan umat Islam mengarahkan pandangan, pikiran dan rasa tanggungjawabnya, dalam berbagai ceramah, tulisan, kajian, dan berbagai media.</p>
<p>Bagaimana saudagar muslim Indonesia yang paling besar jumlahnya di dunia menjadi sasaran dan aksi missionaris internasional dalam aksi pemurtadan umat denagn memanfaatkan kelemahan ekonomi dan kemiskinan. orang lain berbudi, kita berbahasa. orang lain memberi kita merasa, begitu seharusnya. dalam kenyataan bagaimana umat Islam dunia mengharapkan potensi dan kekuatan umat yang paling besar jumlahnya ini, bagaimana mereka siang malam ikut prihatin dan memikirkan, sudah selayaknya pandai-pandai melihat dan menilai diri. Instropeksi, benah diri dan bangkit mengokohkan diri, membina ukhuwah, menegakan Islah, dan membangun izzah. Mulai dari sendiri.</p>
<p>Kerahkan potensi menyongsong kemenangan dan kejayaan umat Islam dengan pertolongan ALLAH SWT yang makin dekat. Insya Allah. kekurangan menuntut untuk saling menyempurnakan, kelemahan saling menguatkan, kesalahan saling membetulkan, tanpa adu saraf, lisan, otot, ataupun pena sesama saudara. eratkan Ukhuwah. Gerakan Islah. </p>
<p>Berjuangalah saudaraku dengan apa yang kamu miliki sekarang. Jazakumullah.</p>

<description><![CDATA[NaturalNews.com November 17 2009 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor (NaturalNews) ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>NaturalNews.com</p>
<p>November 17 2009</p>
<p>by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor</p>
<p>(NaturalNews) In a bombshell finding that has far-reaching implications for society and culture, scientists at the University of Rochester have found that phthalates &#8212; the chemical found in many vinyl and plastic products &#8212; tends to &#8220;feminize&#8221; boys, altering their brains to express more feminine characteristics. The study has been published in the Journal of Andrology.</p>
<p>Phthalates are found in vinyl products (including vinyl flooring), PVC shower curtains, plastic furniture and even in the plastic coating of the insides of dishwashing machines.</p>
<p>The feminization process happens during pregnancy when phthalate exposure causes hormone disruptions in the unborn baby. This chemical feminizes males by disrupting the action of the hormone testosterone.</p>
<p>In this recent study, researchers found a strong correlation between the types of toys that male children play with and the level of phthalates found in their mothers when they were pregnant. Researchers discovered that boys exposed to high levels of phthalates in the womb tend to avoid playing with cars, trains or toy guns. They also avoided rough play, instead preferring more feminine toys and activities. (Barbie?)</p>
<p>Phthalates used in pharmaceutical coatings<br />
What very few people know about phthalates is that they are used in the coatings of pharmaceuticals to create &#8220;enteric&#8221; coatings. This means that many people taking certain pharmaceuticals are unknowingly eating phthalates. If expectant mothers take such pharmaceuticals during pregnancy, they may then feminize their unborn male babies.</p>
<p>How do we know phthalates are used in pharmaceuticals? This Google Books link (http://books.google.com/books?id=e7&#8230;) shows a page from the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Formulations: Over-the-counter products. In it, a recipe is given for manufacturing a clear enteric coating. The ingredients are:</p>
<p>Acetone<br />
Purified water<br />
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Phthalate<br />
Vanillin<br />
Acetylated Monoglycerides<br />
Alcohol</p>
<p>This combination of highly toxic chemicals is cooked, stirred and then used to coat pharmaceutical pills that people actually swallow!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a patent that describes the process in more detail:</p>
<p>http://www.wikipatents.com/5723151.html</p>
<p>Phthalates in antidepressant SSRI drugs<br />
These phthalate chemicals are also used in antidepressant drugs. Here&#8217;s a patent that describes the process: &#8220;Controlled Release Compositions of an Antidepressant Agent&#8221; http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/200&#8230;</p>
<p>As the patent explains:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;the enteric coating polymer is selected from the group consisting of cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, methacrylicacid copolymer, cellulose acetate trimellitate, shellac, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate and combination thereof.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another section says:</p>
<p>&#8220;..the plasticizer is selected from diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, cetyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol-4000, triethyl citrate, triacetin or propylene glycol.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now here&#8217;s the real kicker: The drug companies are pushing to have expectant mothers dosed with antidepressant drugs during pregnancy! This is supposedly to prevent &#8220;post-partum depression&#8221; but the real reason is because Big Pharma simply wants to sell more drugs and pregnant women are the next target on the list.</p>
<p>But taking these drugs results in toxic phthalate levels in the body that are 50 times greater than a &#8220;normal&#8221; contamination level. As this study published in Environmental Health Perspectives explains:</p>
<p>&#8220;Select medications might be a source of high exposure to some phthalates, one of which, DBP, shows adverse developmental and reproductive effects in laboratory animals. These results raise concern about potential human health risks, specifically among vulnerable segments of the general population and particularly pregnant women and children.&#8221; (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art&#8230;)</p>
<p>If expectant mothers are taking more antidepressants coated with phthalates that cause the feminization of boys, we are going to be looking at the mass feminization of males in modern society.</p>
<p>Along with this mass feminization, you can expect to see dropping sperm counts (already happening), increased infertility and the emergence of more feminine physical characteristics among men.</p>
<p>Many would say this hormonal shift is already underway.</p>
<p>Macho Macho Man! (to quote The Village People)<br />
If you look at the transformation of men in modern society over the last 50 years or so, there appears to be a measurable trend towards more feminine looks and behavior. NaturalNews doesn&#8217;t judge this one way or the other &#8212; it&#8217;s just an observation of a trend.</p>
<p>We all need to be mindful when discussing this topic due to potential issues ranging from male &#8220;femininity&#8221; to homosexuality. There is no indication from this particular study that phthalate exposure in the womb tends to cause boys to adhere to any particular sexual orientation, but it&#8217;s probably a question that scientists will be asking: Does exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals tend to alter the behavioral sexual expression of developing babies?</p>
<p>And if so, what&#8217;s &#8220;normal&#8221; anyway? Is it normal for boys to grow up playing with toy guns and fighting all the time? Some might label that an overly-aggressive expression of testosterone. It is arguably too much testosterone that has landed our planet in a perpetual state of military conflict, after all. Clearly, this research brings up some intriguing questions about nutrition, chemical exposure, sexual orientation and societal norms. It all deserves a tremendous amount of thoughtful discussion.</p>
<p>In any case, there does seem to be a subtle shift taking place toward the feminization of men. The full extent of the role of plastics chemicals in this matter has yet to be understood, but it certainly has an impact.</p>
<p>A recent 326-page report from the State of Denmark, by the way, warns that today&#8217;s children are exposed to hundreds of &#8220;gender-bender&#8221; chemicals found in products like sunscreen lotions, moisturizing creams, rubber boots and bed linens (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/ea&#8230;). The title of the article? &#8220;Why boys are turning into girls&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Does taking the Pill make feminine men more attractive to women?<br />
At the same time this is going on, there is evidence that women who take birth control pills also have their hormones unknowingly altered to be more attracted to feminine males.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a fascinating story on this very topic, with lots of example photos of macho men vs. feminine men:</p>
<p>http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a&#8230;</p>
<p>As long as we&#8217;re on this touchy subject, I might as well mention that PETA recently ran advertisements claiming that hormones in animal products cause men to grow &#8220;man boobs.&#8221; Their campaign slogan is, &#8220;Dude looks like a lady. Lose the breasts. Go vegetarian.&#8221; (http://blog.peta.org/archives/2009/&#8230;)</p>
<p>These are just a few examples of the complex issues that surface during any investigation of sexual expression, sexual orientation and the consumption of chemically-laced foods or medicines. Clearly, what you put in your mouth (or on your skin) affects your hormone balance, and today&#8217;s consumers are assaulted with a bewildering array of toxic chemical substances such as phthalates.</p>
<p>Body care products are another source of phthalates<br />
As it turns out, foods and pharmaceuticals may not be the only source of phthalate exposure you need to be concerned about. Phthalates are also commonly used in personal care products &#8212; especially &#8220;baby&#8221; products such as baby shampoos, baby lotions and baby powders. From Wikipedia:</p>
<p>&#8220;Body care products containing phthalates are a source of exposure for infants. The authors of a 2008 study &#8216;observed that reported use of infant lotion, infant powder, and infant shampoo were associated with increased infant urine concentrations of [phthalate metabolites], and this association is strongest in younger infants. These findings suggest that dermal exposures may contribute significantly to phthalate body burden in this population.&#8217; Though they did not examine health outcomes, they noted that &#8220;Young infants are more vulnerable to the potential adverse effects of phthalates given their increased dosage per unit body surface area, metabolic capabilities, and developing endocrine and reproductive systems.&#8221;</p>
<p>So even if your baby is born with a macho mustache and leather tool belt already buckled around his waist, exposure to phthalate chemicals in baby personal care products might disrupt his hormones and have a feminizing effect. It&#8217;s yet another reason to avoid all conventional personal care products. (Phthalates aren&#8217;t the only chemical contaminant found in those toxic products&#8230;)</p>
<p>Drink from glass if you want to stay hormonally balanced<br />
Phthalates aren&#8217;t the only chemicals you need to avoid in plastics &#8212; there&#8217;s also BPA (Bisphenol-A). To avoid such gender-bender chemicals, hormonally-aware men like Daniel Vitalis (www.DanielVitalis.com) drink only from glass containers. They avoid plastics like the plague. &#8220;When you drink bottled water,&#8221; Vitalis once told me, &#8220;you&#8217;re actually drinking a &#8216;plastic tea&#8217; beverage.&#8221;</p>
<p>And that plastic tea may very well disrupt your hormones, causing strange biological effects for both men and women. Think about that the next time you pick up a bottle of water bottled by Coke or Pepsi (Dasani or Aquafina).</p>
<p>If you want to protect your manliness (or your womanhood), stay away from plastics! Doubly so if you&#8217;re a soon-to-be mom and you want your child to be born with unaltered hormone function.</p>
<p>For all the men out there, stay away from pharmaceuticals, since you never know what sort of bizarre chemical concoctions might be coating those pills. Swallowing enteric-coated antidepressants may very well lead to the shrinkage of your precious man junk, causing even more serious depression!</p>
<p>Editor&#8217;s note: I realize the subjects presented here may create a firestorm of discussion or debate among NaturalNews readers. For the record, NaturalNews does not condone the idea that little boys have to play with cars and toy guns to be considered &#8220;normal.&#8221; And men don&#8217;t necessarily have to be macho macho men in order to be &#8220;real&#8221; men. There are too many gender stereotypes in society today, including the idea that little girls have to play with Barbie dolls to be normal. My personal view is that I honor and respect each individual human being for who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation, skin color, religious beliefs, etc. And in terms of gender expression, my own opinion is that parental messages and societal cues probably have at least as much impact on gender expression as hormone-disrupting chemicals. Feel free to discuss these topics in the comment section, below.</p>

<p>Synthetic DHA and ARA in Baby Formula is Causing Infant Illness</p>
<p>by Ethan Huff, citizen journalist<br />

<p>(NaturalNews) For years, baby formula manufacturers have been fortifying and reformulating their blends in an effort to poise their products as equal or superior to natural breast milk. Beginning in 2002, many producers began supplementing their mixtures with synthetic forms of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA), the long-chain fatty acids naturally present in breast milk. Evidence is now showing that the synthetic versions are detrimental to the health of children, despite their continued usage in almost every available brand of infant formula.</p>
<p>The idea behind fortifying infant formula with DHA/ARA was substantiated based upon the fact that a mother&#8217;s breast milk naturally contains these polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They are vital components to human eye and brain development, particularly in the formative infant years. The primary distinction is that the form of DHA/ARA being used in infant formula is structurally incompatible with the form found in human milk.</p>
<p>Martek Biosciences Corporation, the company who produces synthetic DHA/ARA, extracts the oils from laboratory-grown fermented algae and fungus using hexane, a demonstrated neurotoxic chemical. Identified as a hazardous air pollutant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hexane resides in the same category as other serious toxins that are linked to causing cancer and other serious health problems.</p>
<p>Developed primarily as a marketing tool, Martek&#8217;s 1996 DHA/ARA investment promotional material states that even if the additive had no demonstrable benefit, it would nevertheless allow manufacturers to market their formulas as being the &#8220;closest to human milk&#8221;. Formula manufacturers quickly jumped on the bandwagon despite definitive evidence proving the additive&#8217;s safety.</p>
<p>Recently implicated in causing severe reactions in some babies, including breathing problems, gastrointestinal upset, and other illnesses, synthetic DHA/ARA is on the hot seat. Parents and professionals alike are questioning why the additive is still being used in almost every available brand of infant formula and why the companies using the additive are being allowed to claim that their product is superior to human breast milk, despite the hundreds of mounting FDA adverse event reports indicating its dangers.</p>
<p>Whether the culprit is the DHA/ARA itself, the hexane extraction residue, or both, it is anyone&#8217;s guess since no formidable scientific safety studies were conducted prior to the additive&#8217;s introduction into the formula market. Prior to hitting the market, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expressed concern to Martek about the safety of the new additive, indicating that the agency desired to convene a formal meeting to address the issue. Martek denied this request and, shortly thereafter, the FDA reversed its previous stance and approved the additive&#8217;s use despite the lack of any independent scientific safety review.</p>
<p>Since that time, Freedom of Information Act requests have revealed hundreds of FDA adverse event reports that have gone unnoticed by the FDA who has failed to act in conducting an investigation. Typically, a few well-documented adverse event reports are reason enough to conduct a product investigation; several hundred would indicate an immediate need for scrutiny.</p>
<p>Many empirical reports indicate that sick babies who were taken off formula containing synthetic DHA/ARA almost immediately recover from any ailments induced since starting the formula. This indicates a practical connection that deserves further investigation by the agency appointed to perform such analysis, the FDA.</p>
<p>Not only is Martek&#8217;s DHA/ARA supplement being used in baby formulas, it is now being added to a whole host of foods and nutritional supplements for adults, lauded as a great vegetarian alternative to animal-based oils of the same variety. Since the extraction method involves a known chemical neurotoxin, it is best to avoid this additive anyway.</p>
<p>With or without synthetic additives, no baby formula can replace the amazing nourishing properties of a mother&#8217;s breast milk. It is the perfect, natural blend of immune-building, brain-developing goodness that cannot be matched or replicated. While some natural formulas may seem to come close, breast-feeding continues to be the superior method of nourishing a baby and should be utilized whenever possible.</p>

<p>Vaccines and Pregnancy Do Not Mix</p>

<p>(NaturalNews) From an internet forum: &#8220;I got both vaccines [seasonal and swine flu] on Thursday. I was 9 weeks pregnant. I miscarried on Sunday. I was told by several doctors to get these vaccines. Now I wish I followed my gut feeling and not get them at ALL!&#8221; This is not an isolated case.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another report: &#8220;I feel like I had a healthy baby and I caused this by getting the H1N1 vaccine. My doctors pushed it. I researched online and there have been many miscarriages after the H1N1 vaccine but they haven&#8217;t been reported since it is hard to say what caused the miscarriages.&#8221;</p>
<p>She researched online, the only source reporting vaccination tragedies throughout the world.</p>
<p>Lies Under the Light of Truth</p>
<p>First of all, the Swine Flu is less harmful than a normal seasonal flu. Research with ferrets, real statistics released by independent researchers, as well as reports from uncorrupted medical authorities have confirmed this. The CDC and mainstream media bury that information. Instead, they circulate alarming false swine flu statistics.</p>
<p>But one mainstream media outlet, CBS Washington Unplugged, did inadvertently reveal true swine flu statistics. They had tried to get information from the CDC about swine flu episodes actually confirmed. The CDC skirted the issue and stonewalled them.</p>
<p>So they surveyed all 50 USA state medical laboratories themselves. The results were that most states had confirmed five percent or less of reported cases as swine flu. Most labs reported half or more cases were not any kind of flu! So much for hysteria.</p>
<p>Dr. Michael Bronze of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, stated on WebMD that the actual risk of pregnant women getting hospitalized for swine flu infections is one in 300 thousand.</p>
<p>The Australian/New Zealand&#8217;s flu season was surveyed by American epidemiological statisticians. The data from around the middle of that flu season indicated that pregnant women are 99.97 percent sure of avoiding hospital care for any flu.</p>
<p>Of those few admitted and held in ICU 7.7 percent died. Not a high figure. And even those few had other health complications prior to being infected with the swine flu.<br />
Vaccinations Are The Real Danger.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Russel Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon and author of Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills, various studies have proven that artificially stimulating the immune system causes a cytokine immune reaction that damages the forming brain of a fetus.</p>
<p>Throw in thimerosal mercury additives as well as formaldehyde and other toxic materials delivered in the vaccines. These circulate through the fetus if a pregnant woman is vaccinated. The child can become prone to seizures, autism, schizophrenia, and a host of other neurological problems.</p>
<p>There is the case of Desiree Jennings, the young Washington Redskins cheerleader who was diagnosed with dystonia by doctors at John Hopkins and Fairfax Inova. They determined her dystonia, which caused chronic severe spasms and partial paralysis, was a reaction to her seasonal flu shot.</p>
<p>Right, she wasn&#8217;t pregnant. She was also active and healthy. But her story links the miscarriage stories to Dr. Blaylock&#8217;s conclusion, &#8220;The bottom line is vaccinating a pregnant women is vary hazardous to the mother&#8217;s health as well as the baby.&#8221;</p>
<p>As for miscarriages, there has been a history of sterilization agents planted surreptitiously in vaccines intended for women in developing countries. Some vaccines were examined and recovered before further damage could be done. More at &#8211; http://www.naturalnews.com/026907_f&#8230;</p>
<p>And now special flu jab centers are being set up for pregnant women here?</p>

<p>Posted by: Dr. Mercola<br />
November 14 2009 &#124; 145,798 views</p>
<p>    Dr. Larry Palevsky is a board-certified pediatrician trained at the New York School of Medicine, and one of the leading physicians in the country who, from my view, is actually able to compellingly and convincingly provide sound, rational, scientific justification as to why you need to seriously reconsider the wisdom of choosing vaccines as an option to prevent against most diseases.</p>
<p>The Difference Between What You Learn in School and What Works</p>
<p>    Dr. Palevsky says:</p>
<p>        “When I went through medical school, I was taught that vaccines were completely safe and completely effective, and I had no reason to believe otherwise. All the information that I was taught was pretty standard in all the medical schools and the teachings and scientific literature throughout the country. I had no reason to disbelieve it.</p>
<p>        Over the years, I kept practicing medicine and using vaccines and thinking that my approach to vaccines was completely onboard with everything else I was taught.</p>
<p>        But more and more, I kept seeing that my experience of the world, my experience in using and reading about vaccines, and hearing what parents were saying about vaccines were very different from what I was taught in medical school and my residency training.</p>
<p>        … and it became clearer to me as I read the research, listened to more and more parents, and found other practitioners who also shared the same concern that vaccines had not been completely proven safe or even completely effective, based on the literature that we have today.</p>
<p>        … It didn’t appear that the scientific studies that we were given were actually appropriately designed to prove and test the safety and efficacy.</p>
<p>        It also came to my attention that there were ingredients in there that were not properly tested, that the comparison groups were not appropriately set up, and that conclusions made about vaccine safety and efficacy just did not fit the scientific standards that I was trained to uphold in my medical school training.”</p>
<p>Were Vaccines Really the ‘Savior’ Against Past Diseases?</p>
<p>    Conventional medicine teaches that the polio and the smallpox epidemics went away because of the vaccines, and that most of the diseases that we faced in the 20th century in the United States were brought down because of the power, strength and the implementation of the vaccine policy.</p>
<p>    Meanwhile, there are a significant number of studies in the medical literature that actually show there were many other reasons that these infectious diseases went away.</p>
<p>    For example, one article published in 2000 in the Pediatrics Journal describes how, before the World War II, the majority of the infectious diseases the US was faced with – such as diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis, measles, influenza, parapertussis, tuberculosis and scarlet fever – were all reduced before World War II and BEFORE there were antibiotics and vaccinations available to treat or to vaccinate against these diseases.</p>
<p>    The reasons for the reductions in incidence rates and mortality of these diseases were predominantly due to the implementation of public health strategies, including:</p>
<p>        * Clean water<br />
        * Better living conditions<br />
        * Improved sanitation<br />
        * Improved nutrition </p>
<p>    There are many such examples.</p>
<p>Have the Proper Safety Studies Actually Been Done?</p>
<p>    So, why is there such a vast difference among intelligent, scientifically oriented, committed and objective scientists and physicians about the safety and efficacy of vaccines?</p>
<p>    Dr. Palevsky says:</p>
<p>        “I think that if you ask most of my colleagues where they get their information, they will say that they read it from the American Academy of Pediatrics, from the AMA, from the CDC, and in their journals.</p>
<p>        But I would like to challenge most of my colleagues to look through the studies themselves to actually see if the proper scientific studies were done using a proper study group and a proper control group.</p>
<p>        Were the ingredients in vaccines properly studied?</p>
<p>        Is there a difference between being exposed to a virus, bacteria, heavy metal or toxin through the air, food, your intestines and your skin, versus when it’s injected into your body?</p>
<p>        Have we really looked at what happens to vaccine materials once injected into a child? Is an antibody sufficient to provide protection for a child against disease?</p>
<p>        More and more studies are coming out to show that:</p>
<p>            * The proper studies haven’t been done<br />
            * Antibodies are not the final way in which your body is protected<br />
            * There is a difference between how children process material through air and food versus through injection<br />
            * There are particles in vaccines that do accumulate in your body and cause impairments in your immune system<br />
            * There are particles in the vaccines that get into your brain, and<br />
            * There are foreign DNA particles that get into your body</p>
<p>        For many health professionals it is a shock to discover that there is such a lack of information on the safety and efficacy, and a mounting degree of information that actually raises suspicions about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, and whether or not they have been properly studied.”</p>
<p>    What we currently have is a one-sided policy; a one way of thinking that is impossible to really allow for the appropriate debate. Science is truly a field where you ask a question, you find an answer, and you don’t have the biases or the influences that change the way an answer or a conclusion is made. We are not seeing that with vaccines.</p>
<p>    On a personal note, I recently received the Visionary Award at the NVIC conference in Washington DC. In my acceptance speech, I basically broke down in tears when I told the audience how I felt when I came to realize that by routinely vaccinating thousands of innocent children at my clinic, I’d probably caused damage to many of them. It was a very difficult thing for me to accept intellectually and emotionally.</p>
<p>How a Conventionally Trained Physician Accepts that Vaccines Can Cause Harm</p>
<p>    Dr. Palevsky began his investigation in earnest about 10 years ago because parents came to him with complaints, worries, and concerns that something had happened to their children after they were vaccinated.</p>
<p>    Interestingly, this is the same way that I became enlightened about vaccines &#8212; through the concern of a very patient mother whose family I was taking care of. She gently persisted in showing me the evidence and thank God I listened!</p>
<p>    Tragically, most doctors are far too arrogant to even consider that there is any possibility that there might be something wrong with vaccines.</p>
<p>    Most pediatricians are indoctrinated to simply tell parents that anything related to a bad outcome from a vaccine is a mere coincidence. But how come there are so many of these “coincidences”?</p>
<p>    Says Palevsky,</p>
<p>        “It is heartbreaking, because I see many of these kids who were developmentally normal, who were doing well, who were speaking, then whose voices and eye contacts were lost, who went into seizures, who developed asthma and allergies, and they had nowhere to go because they’re doctors told them that they don’t know what they’re talking about. These kids are real.</p>
<p>        The literature is showing that there are changes in the immune system of children who are vaccinated, especially if we vaccinate them before one year of age or even at one day of age.</p>
<p>        The literature is there. It’s good scientific literature, and it shows that more and more of these kids who are suffering from chronic illness are suffering from impairments of their immune system.</p>
<p>        Whether vaccines are causative or contributory, the literature is showing that there is a role that vaccines are playing in creating the groundwork for these children’s immune systems to start to show signs of impairment and destruction.</p>
<p>        … When I look at the studies that the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC put out, saying that there’s no correlation between vaccination and autism or vaccinations and asthma, I have to say that the studies just don’t hold up to the scientific standards.</p>
<p>        You can’t have 25 children in a study and then report that this proves that no children who get autism have any correlation to being injured by vaccines. This is what the media does: they take these conclusions, put it right out in front of the newspapers and say, “Vaccines don’t cause autism.”</p>
<p>        When you really look at the studies – and there’s not a proper control group and there’s only 25 people – you can’t make a grand, generalized statement about a general population because you’ve studied 25 children.”</p>
<p>The NVIC Set to Create Groundbreaking Vaccine Safety Research</p>
<p>    The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) just raised $100,000 and continues to look for donations and sponsors to allow proper safety studies to be done by independent researchers, who aren’t going to influence the outcomes.</p>
<p>    One study that looked at the health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children does exist.</p>
<p>    Published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in April 2005, that looked at the health outcomes of children who are fully vaccinated, who are partially vaccinated, and who are not vaccinated at all.</p>
<p>    All the investigators asked the parents to do was to report atopic illness. Atopic illness means allergies, asthma, eczema, hay fever. The investigators were blinded, meaning they didn’t know which category the participants belonged to.</p>
<p>    When they assessed the data, they found that the largest number of reports by parents of children with atopic illness were in the kids who were fully vaccinated. The second highest reports were in the families who are partially vaccinated. And the lowest number of reports was in the children who were unvaccinated…</p>
<p>    The investigators performed a statistical analysis to see if the data was based on chance or on real statistical differences, and found there were statistically significant differences between these groups. They couldn’t understand how this was possible, because the generally accepted consensus is that vaccines are completely safe, and completely effective.</p>
<p>    Based on this initial finding, we clearly need to do follow-up studies to ask the same question over and over again; repeat this kind of investigation with different populations across different parts of the country, to unearth the truth!</p>
<p>    Dr. Palevsky says:</p>
<p>        “Certainly, the issue has been raised about the special interests, the money that’s tied, the policies, how much money the vaccine manufacturers stand to make, the doctors who make decisions on vaccines, and how much money they stand to make. But we need the science and not this conspiracy theory&#8230;</p>
<p>        If we just stay with the science, and really start to address the need for the science, and look at the fact that there is a lack of science, we will definitely see that more needs to be done.</p>
<p>        We have not done due diligence.”</p>
<p>Are Some Vaccines Safer Than Others?</p>
<p>    Many may be surprised by Dr. Palevsky’s answer:</p>
<p>        “… in my research of the vaccines, and of the basic microbiology and virology that we’re trained to know in our medical training, I cannot understand how a vaccine with a virus can be safe.”</p>
<p>    What most people don’t know is that a virus is not “alive,” per se.</p>
<p>    It is simply a piece or strand of either RNA or DNA. And even of itself, a virus can’t “do” anything.</p>
<p>    In addition it is so tiny that it can only be seen under an electron microscope. It is much smaller than bacteria, which can only be seen in the regular microscope. So viruses cannot be isolated when you make a viral vaccine. All that can be isolated is the tissue, whether it’s human tissue or animal tissue that is believed to have been infected by that specific virus that you’re trying to isolate.</p>
<p>    So when a viral culture or a set of cultures are made including the specific virus, you’re going to have the DNA of people or animals who were already infected. Those cells are then taken and grown on animal cells, whether it&#8217;s monkey kidney cells or chicken embryo cells.</p>
<p>    When mixed together, these cells will splice and recombine, which means that DNA from animal cells are going to mix with DNA from the known infected cells with the virus.</p>
<p>    So by definition, a viral vaccine contains foreign animal and, even possibly, foreign human DNA. That’s why if you have an egg allergy, you shouldn’t get certain vaccines because it is known that there’s going to be egg protein in the vaccine.</p>
<p>    So the question is, how safe is it to inject viral material that is embedded into the DNA of foreign DNA cells?</p>
<p>    What studies have been done to actually test whether foreign DNA is getting into your body; whether it stays in your DNA; whether it gets into your brain; and whether there are foreign animal viruses that are inherently present in animal DNA to begin with?</p>
<p>The Dangers of Adjuvants</p>
<p>    Adjuvants are used in vaccines in order to create a sufficiently strong immunological response. Adjuvants augment your immunological response.</p>
<p>    But there is clear evidence that adjuvants, like aluminum and squalene impair your immune system.</p>
<p>    So while you may be getting the antibodies desired, you are, at the same time, damaging your immune system. Particularly in children, this can set them up to develop chronic illness.</p>
<p>Pushing for Informed Consent</p>
<p>    So, does that mean you should never vaccinate against anything?</p>
<p>    Dr. Palevsky says:</p>
<p>        “That’s something that needs to be left up to the individual parent. I am truly a proponent of informed consent, and I’m truly supportive of families who have done their homework and who have been able to make the choice.</p>
<p>        What is the possible risk of the illness? What is the possible health outcome if your child gets one of those illnesses?</p>
<p>        And how much do you know about those risks versus how much do you know about the risks of the vaccines and the health outcomes of what may happen when children are vaccinated against single, or even multiple, vaccines?</p>
<p>        And when parents are given both sides, it is up to them to make that informed choice.</p>
<p>        It is no longer my role to tell them that they must do this vaccine but not that vaccine, because each parent has to make an informed choice based on their understanding of how diseases occur or don’t occur, what science we have available, and whether they feel comfortable with the devil that they know (the science and the outcomes of disease) versus the devil that they don’t know (science and the outcomes of the vaccine).”</p>
<p>What about the Swine Flu Vaccine?</p>
<p>    Echoing many other health professionals, including myself, Dr. Palevsky’s concern is that there haven’t been sufficient amounts of scientific investigation to actually be able to say that the vaccines are safe, or even effective.</p>
<p>    He says:</p>
<p>        “Now if you read the packaging first of the swine flu vaccine, it specifically states that the swine flu or the H1N1 flu vaccine was manufactured in the same manufacturing process as the flu vaccine. Therefore since we believe that the flu vaccine has been sufficiently tested to be safe, we can then conclude that the H1N1 vaccine is safe.</p>
<p>        But the public should know that even though our authorities are standing there and saying that the H1N1 vaccine is safe, the proper studies have not been done.</p>
<p>        … And it’s unfair to say to parents or to the public that if you come down with a flu-like illness, it must be H1N1. In studies that have been done, people who did get the flu had their noses swabbed, and they were found to have H1N1.</p>
<p>        What’s missing in these data is a population of healthy people who have not had any flu symptoms – to actually see if their noses contained H1N1 – because if someone is sick and has the presence of an H1N1 virus in the nose, it doesn’t mean that the H1N1 is causing the illness.</p>
<p>        You really have to take an appropriate control group to see if people are colonized with that virus even when they’re not sick.</p>
<p>        So we don’t have that data; we really don’t know. I don’t think we can say with good scientific certainty that people who are getting sick from the flu and who are being diagnosed with H1N1 are actually having H1N1 as the cause.”</p>
<p>Other Ways to Protect Yourself Against the Flu</p>
<p>    Again, there’s clear evidence in the medical literature that shows proper hygiene, proper sleep, proper diet, proper supplementation with things like vitamin D (making sure that you get your vitamin D level done first), and perhaps vitamin C, can actually prevent you from getting the flu.</p>
<p>    Many insist that vaccinated individuals “protect” the unvaccinated against the flu virus – in essence, reaping the benefit of the protection they refuse for themselves, while at the same time putting others in danger.</p>
<p>    But how does that make sense?</p>
<p>    Says Dr. Palevsky:</p>
<p>        “How does vaccinating against the flu virus stop you from carrying the flu virus in your nasal passages?”</p>
<p>    And yet, this is what many believe.</p>
<p>The Concept of Herd Immunity – BUSTED!</p>
<p>    One of the primary arguments that is being used to justify this insane behavior is “herd immunity.”</p>
<p>    The fact is that vaccination does NOT stop you from carrying bacteria or viruses in your nose, in your throat, in your intestines, in your airway, on your skin, or in your body.</p>
<p>    But many do not understand the significance of this fact, and have been made to believe that if you’re vaccinated, you won’t carry viruses, and therefore, others will be protected because you’re vaccinated.</p>
<p>    As it turns out, this belief is NOT based on scientific fact.</p>
<p>    Dr. Palevsky explains:</p>
<p>        “This whole concept of herd immunity is very interesting, because we were taught that herd immunity occurs because a certain percentage of a population gets an active illness. Therefore by a certain percentage of getting the active illness, they impart a protection onto the remaining part of the population that has not gotten the illness yet.</p>
<p>        And so the herd that is getting the illness is shedding the illness and protecting those who have not gotten it.</p>
<p>        In vaccine science, we are extrapolating or concluding that if we vaccinate a certain percentage of people, we are imparting protection on those who have not been vaccinated. And that has NOT been shown to be true, because the true herd immunity in theory is based on an ACTIVE DISEASE, and we know that despite what we’re taught, vaccination does not mimic the natural disease.</p>
<p>        So we cannot use the same model of herd immunity in a natural disease in the vaccination policy. But unfortunately, we do use it even though it cannot be used because it doesn’t have scientific backing.</p>
<p>        What’s most interesting to me is that the entire concept of herd immunity fails to acknowledge that there is a life cycle of the viruses and the bacteria all on their own, and that what turns them on and off may have nothing to do with the percentage of people who have been infected.</p>
<p>        All you have to do is look at the SARS outbreak. That virus that we were supposed to fear didn’t infect 70 or 80 percent of the population, which would then impart herd immunity on the 20 or 30 percent that didn’t get the disease.</p>
<p>        This is because the virus itself had a life cycle of its own. And so it came and went without any percentage of the population being protected. There wasn’t herd immunity, and yet the virus died out on its own.</p>
<p>        We fail to include that viruses have a life cycle, and that they are in relationship to other organisms and to us. Something activates them and something actually stops them, and it has nothing necessarily to do with the percentage of people who would have the illness or who have been vaccinated.</p>
<p>        … It is preposterous to think that a child who is vaccinated no longer carries the bacteria or the viruses that they have been vaccinated against. If, in fact, children are vaccinated, then why are parents and public health authorities afraid that non-vaccinated children are somehow carrying something that their children are not, when they should feel comfortable that their children are vaccinated?</p>
<p>        You can’t have it both ways.</p>
<p>        You can’t vaccinate believing that your children are protected and then feel that your children are not protected because somehow, some non-vaccinated child is carrying some secret organism that no one else is carrying.</p>
<p>        It just doesn’t make any sense.”</p>
<p>The Difference between Natural Immunity and Vaccine-lnduced Immunity</p>
<p>    It’s important to understand that the natural illness has greater influence on the health of your body. Says Dr. Palevsky:</p>
<p>        “In medical school, the mentors that I had saw children in their practices in the 40s, 50s and all the way up to the 80s getting these flu-like illnesses who were properly treated with rest, fluids and proper supplementation.</p>
<p>        Those kids had developmental growth spurts after the illnesses were over.</p>
<p>        There is something to say for these viral illnesses that impart a certain boosting of the immune system of your children. And if we’re not letting them have these illnesses, what are we doing to their immune systems? Aren’t we actually hampering their overall health?”</p>
<p>    You need to understand that there’s a significant difference between natural immunity and vaccination immunity.</p>
<p>    When children are born, they develop natural immunity to hundreds, thousands, millions, and even trillions of microorganisms that they breathe in, eat, and touch through their skin. Their immune systems at the lining of their airways, at the lining of their intestines, and on their skin are actively protecting their body from the outside world.</p>
<p>    Those immune systems that are intricately and specifically located in the linings are very important to create memory and protection to the organisms that they continue to breathe, eat, and touch.</p>
<p>    That immune system response then has a domino effect on creating other memory and immune responses that give your body antibodies and protection.</p>
<p>    That’s a very important step for how the immune system matures in our children. From the linings, the immune system receives information, sends out signals to all other parts of the immune system, and creates an immune response, memory, and antibodies.</p>
<p>    On the other hand, when you inject materials into your body, you are bypassing that crucial first step called the primary line of defense.</p>
<p>    With vaccination you are just creating an antibody. That does NOT impart long-term immunity because it does not create the kind of memory that occurs when you breathe it in, eat it, or are exposed through the skin, and then go through the course of the natural disease.</p>
<p>    Some people will argue that this is why we have nasal spray vaccines.</p>
<p>    However, again, you’re making the assumption that you have not already been exposed to the virus at some point, and you’re also making the assumption that exposure automatically leads to infection.</p>
<p>    Exposure does not necessarily lead to infection. A lot of it has to do with the overall status of your immune system.</p>
<p>The Dangers of Combining Vaccines</p>
<p>    One issue that is frequently ignored is the potential harm from the synergy of combinations of vaccines, which have never been studied.</p>
<p>    No one knows whether there’s interaction between the bacteria and the viruses in the vaccines administered as part of the childhood vaccination schedule, or if there is interaction in the trace thimerosal (which is still in some of the multi-vials of certain vaccines), or the large amount of aluminum that is in many of them.</p>
<p>    Dr. Palevsky says:</p>
<p>        “There is a scientist named Boyd Haley, who has actually looked into some of the vaccine ingredients and (1) what happens to nerve cells when you inject them in the lab to specific vaccine ingredients, and (2) what happens to the nerve cells when you keep adding another vaccine ingredient.</p>
<p>        He specifically showed that in the presence of thimerosal, there’s a lot of damage to nerve cells. When you add aluminum to the thimerosal, you need less thimerosal to create the damage to the immune and nerve cells in the presence of aluminum.</p>
<p>        Then when you add neomycin – an antibiotic in some of the vaccines – it potentiates the potency of nerve cell damage with aluminum and mercury together.</p>
<p>        And when you culture the nerve cells and testosterone, versus estrogen, and you expose them to some of the vaccine ingredients like thimerosal, you actually see that the nerve cells that are exposed to testosterone are more damaged in greater amounts than the nerve cells that are bathed in estrogen.</p>
<p>        That raises some concern because we do see that children with neurodevelopmental disorders are 4:1, boys to girls.</p>
<p>        So you have to question whether testosterone actually makes children more vulnerable to exposure to toxins like mercury, aluminum or their combination?</p>
<p>        None of these studies have been done in humans. People say, “We can’t do those studies.” And I say, “Why not?” They say, “It’s unethical.”</p>
<p>        I say, “Well, if it’s unethical to do those studies on vaccine ingredients and combining them together, then it’s unethical to give the vaccines in general.”</p>
<p>        So we’re missing a lot of important data that we won’t believe, and we’re also missing a lot of important data that we won’t accumulate because most of the studies that are done are by the manufacturers of the vaccines themselves.”</p>

<description><![CDATA[In an article at NewsMax cites an  FBI estimate saying that 10% of American Mosques teach jihad, Ron]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In an <strong><a title="http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/Mosques_preach_jihad/2009/11/10/284270.html?s=al&#38;promo_code=9099-1" href="http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/Mosques_preach_jihad/2009/11/10/284270.html?s=al&#38;promo_code=9099-1" target="_blank">article at NewsMax</a></strong> cites an  FBI estimate saying that 10% of American Mosques teach jihad, Ron Kessler made the following statement.</p>
<blockquote>
<blockquote><p>On the other hand, those who condemn Muslims in general because of the actions of Hasan and others like him are engaging in prejudice that has no place in America. Indeed, such stereotyping sets back the war on terror, because we need moderate Muslims on our side.</p>
<p>The problem is not the Quran, which is no more incendiary than some passages in the Bible. (Deuteronomy, for example, prescribes stoning to death for those who “served other gods and worshipped them.”) The problem is the radical element that uses the Quran as an excuse to engage in terrorism and the failure of many moderate Muslims to condemn the extremists.</p></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>It is Islam we condemn in general, not Muslims. Most Muslims are victims of Islam.  There are Muslims in name only, who do not practice Islam,  but there are no moderate Muslims because there is no moderate Islam.   Those who assert otherwise are suffering from extreme cognitive dissonance.</p>
<p>Islam has a standard set by Moe&#8217;s preaching and practice. Islam <strong><em>is</em></strong> what he said and did in Allah&#8217;s name. The Qur&#8217;an&#8217;s Surah Al-Anfal contains an imperative to fight disbelievers, specifically the Pagan Meccans, until all resistance ceases and only Allah is worshiped. <strong><a title="http://www.qurancomplex.com/Quran/Targama/Targama.asp?nSora= 8&#38;l=eng&#38;nAya= 39# 8_ 39" href="http://www.qurancomplex.com/Quran/Targama/Targama.asp?nSora=%208&#38;l=eng&#38;nAya=%2039#%208_%2039" target="_blank">Hilali &#38; Khan</a></strong> offer this bracketed clarification: &#8220;[in the whole of the world ]&#8220;. <strong><a title="http://www.altafsir.com/ViewTranslations.asp?Display=yes&#38;SoraNo= 8&#38;Ayah= 39&#38;Language=2&#38;TranslationBook=4" href="http://www.altafsir.com/ViewTranslations.asp?Display=yes&#38;SoraNo=%208&#38;Ayah=%2039&#38;Language=2&#38;TranslationBook=4" target="_blank">Abdullah Yusuf Ali</a></strong> uses a different expression: &#8220;faith in God altogether and everywhere&#8221;.</p>
<p>Surah At-Taubah has an imperative to <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=009:29" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=009:29" target="_blank">fight people with scriptural religions</a></strong> until they are subjugated and extorted.  Those imperatives are outcome oriented, with neither chronological nor geographic limits.</p>
<p>The Old Testament enjunctions to fight were limited to particular people and places, they were not unlimited.  Jesus Christ neither preached nor practiced warfare. Jews and Christians are not engaged in wars of conquest.  While  Judaism and Christianity have reformed and become passive, Islam is not reformed nor can it. Islam is aggressively attempting to conquer or reconquer on several battlefronts.</p>
<p>The Qur&#8217;an is given as  Allah&#8217;s word, transmitted to Moe by  Jibril. <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=005:3" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=005:3" target="_blank">Allah&#8217;s religion is perfected</a></strong> for Muslims; perfection can only be defiled, not improved. <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=006:115" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=006:115" target="_blank">Allah&#8217;s word can not be changed</a></strong>. When Allah <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=002:106" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=002:106" target="_blank">abrogated a verse, he replaced it with something better</a></strong>; Surah At-Taubah was revealed next to last, it abrogates earlier, more tolerant and passive verses. Since Moe was Allah&#8217;s final and greatest &#8216;Prophet&#8217;,  Allah has no messenger, his word is immutable, fixated in the 7<sup>th</sup> century.</p>
<p>Moe testified that he was &#8220;<strong><a title="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/008.sbt.html#001.008.387" href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/008.sbt.html#001.008.387" target="_blank">ordered to fight the people till they say: &#8216;None has the right to be worshipped but Allah</a></strong>.&#8217;&#8221;, confirming the imperatives cited above. Muhammad fought in <strong><a title="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/059.sbt.html#005.059.285" href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/059.sbt.html#005.059.285" target="_blank">19 battles</a></strong>. Muslims assert that those battles were defensive, not offensive but only two of them were.  Moe dictated and dispatched extortion letters, which he followed up with his army if the recipients did not comply with his demands. His <strong><a title="http://www.alquraan.net/letters/letters_3.html#LETTER%20TO%20THE%20CHIEFS%20OF%20AQABA" href="http://www.alquraan.net/letters/letters_3.html#LETTER%20TO%20THE%20CHIEFS%20OF%20AQABA" target="_blank">letter to the Chiefs of Aqaba</a></strong> is the most explicit, it leaves no doubt about his intentions.</p>
<p>Allah described his relationship with Muslims as that of master: slave, the slave&#8217;s mission being to <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=009:111" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=009:111" target="_blank">fight in his cause, killing and being killed</a></strong>.  Jihad is mandatory, &#8220;<strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=002:216" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=002:216" target="_blank">ordained</a></strong>&#8221; for Muslims.  The penalty for refusing to fight is <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=009:39" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=009:39" target="_blank">&#8220;painful torment&#8221;</a></strong>, a hint of Hellfire.  The &#8220;<strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=061:10" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=061:10" target="_blank">commerce that will save you from a painful torment</a></strong>&#8221; is &#8220;<strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=061:11" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=061:11" target="_blank">that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives</a></strong>&#8220;.    According to Allah,  any step the believers take to anger or injure disbelievers will be &#8220;<strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=009:120" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=009:120" target="_blank">written to their credit as a deed of righteousness</a></strong>.&#8221;.</p>
<p>Islam&#8217;s canon of jurisprudence is the ultimate confirmation. <strong><a title="http://www.nku.edu/%7Ekenneyr/Islam/Reliance.html" href="http://www.nku.edu/%7Ekenneyr/Islam/Reliance.html" target="_blank">Reliance of the Traveller</a></strong>, is the handbook of fiqh. Its  Book O is the book of Justice. Its ninth chapter lays down the law of Jihad, defining it, describing its obligatory nature and explaining  the obligation: &#8220;Jihad is a communal obligation, meaning upon the Muslims each year. &#8220;. Al-Shafi&#8217;i clarified the issue with this ruling.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.arts.cornell.edu/prh3/447/texts/Sulami.html">&#8220;The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims&#8217; interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse.&#8221;</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I will quote the first sentence from each of the two sections which confirm the obvious.</p>
<blockquote><p>O9.8: The Objectives of Jihad</p>
<p>The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4) -which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,</p>
<p>&#8220;Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled&#8221; (Koran 9:29).</p>
<p>O9.9</p>
<p>The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book, nor honored as such, and are not permitted to settle with paying the poll tax (jizya) ) .</p></blockquote>
<p>Islamic law clearly confirms Allah&#8217;s Jihad imperatives and Moe&#8217;s testimony that he was ordered to fight. The caliph has a duty to make war on Kuffar in every year, if possible, until the entire world is conquered. Of course, the caliph&#8217;s order or permission is required to mount an attack, unless there is no caliph. (O9.6).</p>
<p>Contrary to Mr. Kessler&#8217;s assertion, condemnation of Islam is not prejudicial and the Qur&#8217;an is the root of the problem.  Muslims whose personal morality conflicts with orthodox Islamic doctrine should remove Allah&#8217;s yoke of slavery from their necks and become freemen.  If you do not want to kill Kuffar, rape their widows and enslave their orphans, why are you Allah&#8217;s slave? Emancipate yourself and rejoin humanity.</p>
<p>In <strong><a title="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-memorial-service-fort-hood" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-memorial-service-fort-hood" target="_blank">remarks uttered at a memorial service</a></strong> for the servicemen slain at Fort Hood, President Obama said this.</p>
<blockquote><p>It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy.  But this much we do know &#8212; no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor.  For what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice &#8212; in this world, and the next.</p></blockquote>
<p>A Muslim is not permitted to fight and kill another Muslim except in the authorized enforcement of Islamic law.  Major Hasan was reluctant to go into battle against his brethren, but not to go into battle against his  comrades.  Muslims chant Allah-hu Akbar when slaughtering sacrificial animals and attacking Kuffar.  Major Hasan shouted takbir because he was engaging upon the slaughter of his enemies, transferring his fear from himself to them and praising Allah</p>
<p>Murder can not be justified, it is unjust, but Islam rationalizes it. We learn from <strong><a title="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/008.sbt.html#001.008.387" href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/008.sbt.html#001.008.387" target="_blank">Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387</a></strong> that the blood of Kuffar is not sacred to Muslims. Kuffar are considered rebels against Allah, and therefore not innocent. They are fair prey, targets of opportunity. . Islam divides the world into Dar ul-Islam where Allah&#8217;s writ runs, and Dar ul-Harb, where Kuffar rule. Dar al-Harb is the land of war. It must be attacked until the entire world is Dar al-Islam.</p>
<p>Allah is sovereign over the world, its divine ruler because, as its creator, he owns it all. Where men are governed by man made law, they are in rebellion against Allah, depriving him of his divine right to rule. Allah has commanded Muslims to overthrow the rebels and extend Allah&#8217;s rule over the entire world.  Allah has promised them success in that mission. You can verify these facts by reading <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=013:41" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=013:41" target="_blank">13:41</a></strong>, <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=014:15" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=014:15" target="_blank">14:15</a></strong>, <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=040:51" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=040:51" target="_blank">40:51</a></strong> and <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=061:9" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=061:9" target="_blank">61:9</a></strong></p>
<p>.</p>
<blockquote><p>We&#8217;re a nation that guarantees the freedom to worship as one chooses.</p></blockquote>
<p>Major Hasan chose to worship Allah by sacrificing 13  Kuffar soldiers.  That is his right because Jihad is a mandatory sacrament, being <strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=002:216" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=002:216" target="_blank">ordained by Allah</a></strong>. Allah said  &#8221;<strong><a title="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=004:89" href="http://qb.gomen.org/QuranBrowser/cgi/bin/retrieve.cgi?version=pickthall+yusufali+khan+shakir+sherali+khalifa+arberry+palmer+rodwell+sale&#38;layout=auto&#38;searchstring=004:89" target="_blank">Slay them wherever you find them</a></strong>&#8216;&#8221;.  Is that cherry picking?  Is that out of context? If it is, tell it to the Shafi&#8217;ite jurists who wrote Reliance of the Traveller; that quote is part of the scriptural basis of jihad given in O9.0.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The following is an article which was written by our martyred brother Sayyid(rahimahullah) some time]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The following is an article which was written by our martyred brother Sayyid(rahimahullah) some time ago. It should be of interest now as we have just become aware of his appearance in an As Sahab documentary before his martyrdom, achieved while attacking the apostate ISI headquarters in Pakistan.</p>
<p>The Brother has penned many articles and at least one short book as far as I am aware and he was widely respected in the Jihadi community for his knowledge and his translating of important works of Ulaama from Arabic into English.</p>
<p>The following article which is relatively lengthy is entitled <strong>Words of advice to the brethren leaving for Jihād:</strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<div id="post_message_35486">
<p>الحمد لله العلي المتعال ذي القدرة و الجلال و الصلاة و السلام على النبي الضحوك القتال</p>
</div>
<div><span style="color:red;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Patience ,</strong></span></span> in ease and hardship, when you face hardship from the enemy, or observing it while a path to disobedience is made easy by refraining from doing it. For patience is being patient in Allāh’s obedience from acting on what he has commanded and leaving what he has forbidden, and being patient to the trails which you face in this path. Remember that from the greatest reason from which wars are won are due to patience and piety. It is the characteristic of all the pious salaf who walked this difficult path, so if reaching their destination is your goal, make this amongst your closest friends in this path.
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Also in this matter one must remember, one must also be patient on the difficulties he face from his own brothers from Mujāhidīn, for among the Mujāhidīn you will find those who are not bestowed with good character or true guidance, or people who sin. You might find your belongings have been stolen, or you have been abused at, or even you might observe discrimination, but you have to be patient to all these and not return back from the fields saying I returned because I experienced such and such. Then if that is your case, you have not known the reason you went there in the first place. You went there to make Allāh’s word most high, not to “observe” how Allāh’s Word is made supreme. Yes, I warn you my brothers, even matters graver might be observed in the ranks of the Mujāhidīn, for they are merely humans, who might be ignorant even from the basics of Islam (and the only reason why they came might be their concern for the Ummah) or even worse you might even meet hypocrites, in these circumstances you must do what is obligatory over you, from ordering good, forbidding the evil, helping your brother whether he is the oppressed or the oppressor, giving advice for Allāh’s sake. But be patient and don’t come back due that, making that your excuse, for it is not a valid excuse infront of Allāh, until you see kufr bawāh from your leaders, even in that case the obligation of jihād has not yet fallen from you, rather search then another group, for there will never pass a time where the true group will not be found, if not fight even if you are alone “you have not been given responsibility but over yourself only”.</p>
<p>So remember Islam is not at fault, but rather those who are from the Muslimīn makes mistakes and becomes sinners while Islam and its cause are pure from all that.</p>
<p><strong>Know that jihād</strong> is pure and what ever evil from those who takes its responsibility, does not resemble Jihād, but rather are mistakes from their nafs, so you must see by yourself that you will do what is binding upon you, and this will make the image pure.</p>
<p><strong>Remember</strong> O brothers who are going to places where cultures differ, you might find amongst them, in those cultures similar evil matters, and also matters which are different from your own, so in all cases you must weigh the matters upon Qur’an and Sunnah, hold to both those principles, act on it and call to it.</p>
<p>So be patient! And by Allāh, by Allāh, you will find your life in difficulty if you are not aware of these realities which you will face in the fields. So know from the first day the reason you are going to the fields so you might not run back.</p>
<p><span style="color:red;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Piety,</strong></span></span> this quality and the one above are the ones if both of these are united in a person, karāmat can be seen from him, the leadership in religion would be given for him and wars are won due to these people. No matter how much we increase in our number, these people are what really counted. For the matter is not of quantity but of quality. Do you not see how 313 shook the world? And naming the incidents in testifying to what we said would lengthen the topic.</p>
<p>So remember and remember again O the one who marches on this path, that verily it’s not your muscles, nor your material which is strengthening you or winning these battles, but it is the Taqwā and Sabr and ēman. It has been observed that strong men failed in this path who lacked these characteristics. Nevertheless when these characteristics gets mixed in his blood and bone we see a physically weak mu’min doing that of twenty strong men…</p>
<p>So if you are to increase in anything in order to get prepared for this journey, then increase your Taqwā, Sabr and Eeman. How successful is such a person, and verily all the success had been attained by him who had been bestowed with these characteristics, for they are like light in the darkness and they are the source of life amongst dead.<br />
<span style="color:red;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><br />
“Hasbunallaahu Wa ni’mal Wakeel”</strong></span></span> these are words which made the kings with immense power, like pharaoh and namrood, tremble and shake. Words which, brought fear to the armies of Kuffār. Words which if uttered in its true sense while believing in each letter, fires are made cold, armies of tughāt are struck with fear and forced to flee, swords which are raised over heads would fall in fear, seas would be cut into halves. What harm can be brought over a man whose reliance is upon the Controller of all the mankind? Whose army is not known except to Him alone? Who if wishes anything says “be” and it happens? Yes my brethren, it is the reliance upon Allāh Almighty alone. It is to know in every circumstance, that Allāh is enough as a helper, as the One who provides provision, as a Savior; to know that He is enough against all the creation.</p>
<p>When this is really understood by the slave, then in the most difficult time, it would be said with full belief “what do you think O Abu Bakr about two whose third is Allāh?”, it would be said when swords are raised over your skull without the slightest doubt “Allāh will save me”, it would be said when great armies get together against you, or when the whole nation is out to kill you, even worse, when they have tied you, when they have jailed you, when they have put you in the catapult, and at the moment being thrown into a fire, a destruction, which your eyes see, and surely your eyes aren’t deceiving you! In this difficult time, when the heart of the believer shines, when the light of Eeman eliminates all doubts about The Qadīr, and when it is firmly believed that the all the Power is His alone, the fire is His, all the creation belong to Him, and when it is said in this moment with all certainty “Hasbunallāhu Wani’mal Wakēl” (enough for me is Allāh, and how good is the One who is relied upon), the fire becomes cold, and the tughāt trembles and the plots of Kuffār fails in front of the plot of Al Qahhār.</p>
<p>So this is what you must carry with you in your actions and beliefs, in this hard difficult trip. So learn O slave of Saboor and ponder on the meanings of the Qur’an and the stories in which incidents of such are explained. But now make a difference in the way you read. While you read, read as if you are the one who is experiencing it, or a person who might experience those events, for who knows? If you are loved by Allāh, He will surely send trails on you. Read! Knowing, it is the path of the people on whom Allāh has bestowed upon. This is the prayer you recite in al-fātiha at least 17 times in your prayer, to show their path. So now that you have asked Allāh their path! Know this is their path.</p>
<p>Ponder while you are alone on the words like<strong> “lā hawla walā quwwata illā billāh” </strong>(there is no movement or Power except with the help of Allāh) If you really comprehend the meaning of these words so short as a sentence, yet so strong in meaning, you will then really fear none. Then when this is learnt by your action and not by theory, you will really understand the meanings of the words “know that even if the Ummah got together to harm you with anything, they can never harm you except with what Allāh has already decreed over you…”</p>
<p>And know that these can only be learnt in its true meaning after you start running to the fields of Jihād, and give the true Dawah in which absolute no compromise is made, which the satans who attribute knowledge to themselves, do. And when blood is in your throat for Allāh’s sake, and when you are struck with pain due to the hatred received from the ones you loved –due to no reason except for standing firm in the Millat of Ibrāhim without hesitation, fearing none and not fearing the results which will occur by telling what is Haqq for Allāh’s sake, and when the whole world is against you due to them being in the trench of Shaitan while you are in the trench of Rahman, so when you are faced with trials like this, you will truly know the meaning of the reliance and turning to Allāh. So learn it with action.</p>
<p><span style="color:red;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>“Now only O Umar! </strong></span></span>(Your Emān is complete)” Words said to Umar RA. Words if thought about, it would bring fear into hearts empty from this sifat. But has any pondered why these words by the prophet of mercy were said? The reason behind this is the reason which in reality took you out your house, your wealth, your family to strive to make Allāh’s word supreme. That is to ‘Love Allāh and His messenger and making Jihād in His Path more than anything else in this world’. This is what, if not found in our hearts, we are warned to wait for Allāh’s order to fall on us! This is one the first and most important sifat mentioned by Allāh about those who will be brought after making us astray if we turn our backs to this religion “O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islâm), Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allâh, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh is All*Sufficient for His creatures&#8217; needs, All*Knower.”.</p>
<p>So know that the ‘real Hijrah is to leave the love of everything, from your wealth and family in front of the love of Allaah and His messenger’. This is the real Hijrah that we must do, the most difficult one, and if we do this Hijrah, we will be successful, and the difficulties of the physical Hijrah and all the trails will become easy in front of you.</p>
<p>The threats that you feared from the moment you embraced this path, from loosing your family, your land and above all your life will become insignificant for you. As now you will understand that you have a reason why none of these hold any importance when it comes to sacrificing these for Allāh’s sake. And after this love has really entered your heart, your limbs and your blood and your flesh will beg from you to sacrifice these to it’s Owner out of love for him.</p>
<p>Then after knowing that fact, now you will understand why the magicians said to the pharaoh when the pharaoh with all his apparent power threatened them “So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, and you shall surely know which of us [I (Fir'aun * Pharaoh) or the Rabb of Mûsa (Moses) (Allâh)] can give the severe and more lasting torment.&#8221;</p>
<p>They said without hesitation “We prefer you not over the clear signs that have come to us, and to Him (Allâh) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world. Verily! We have believed in our Rabb, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allâh is better as regards reward in comparison to your [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] reward, and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment).&#8221;</p>
<p>Subhānallāh! What love and what sacrifice they had, for they are willing to loose everything, even their lives for the sake of Allāh! The torture in which their limbs will be cut! Their bones crushed, their lives lost, their status lost is so insignificant to them! Can you really understand the pain they will go through? When cold blades are thrust in to their flesh to cut their limbs? When steel nails will crush their bones while they are crucified? Can you imagine their pain when in that moment they see that the whole world is against them? Mocking at them and laughing at them? Saying that they are madmen, while all these tortures are done with them? Can you imagine how it is to feel to loose your promised positions and status? Leaving all that in seconds after accepting this true way?<br />
<!--more--><br />
But still you see them to firm, to be satisfied, to be patient! Why? What is the reason behind all this? It is because they love Allāh more than all what is being lost, cut and crushed! They knew from the first moment they embraced Islam, that all what they own and all what they were promised from this tāghūt is nothing compared to the love they have for Allāh and compared to what Allāh has promised for them! So does anything shake their Emān after the true love for Allāh has entered their noble hearts? Nay!</p>
<p>And didn’t you also ponder over the fact that these were people whom Allāh mentioned in the Qur’an praising them more than once? So tell me who are the most remembered? And although their knowledge was not so much in what they embraced, but due to their steadfastness and patience and Taqwa they were made leaders in the religion of Allāh whom we are encouraged to follow. They have written their story that day with their own blood, in red, although now it is radiant amongst us in our noble book, in gold!</p>
<p>Now my dear brother, if you want to stay firm on this harsh but noble path and if you want to go and get united with the people whom you always pray in your prayers to get resurrected with “then they will be in the company of those on whom Allâh has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqûn (those followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them, like Abu Bakr As*Siddiq RA the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!”, then make this your status, and be like them!</p>
<p><strong>And after you have known the truth</strong> do not shake! Do not doubt! Even if the bullets are tearing you, even if you are seeing blood being spilled from the body you loved and cared! And even if you see that you are loosing you wife and kids, your wealth and status! Even if people are mocking at you as if you are a madman! Even if you are confronted with all these, go forth O slave of Allāh on the path of your noble salaf with the love for Allāh and His messenger that you have! And give Allāh and His messenger priority over everything. Then as stated above your trials will seem insignificant for you, and you will say as the sahabi said when he was asked by the roman king, when oil was boiled to throw him in it “are crying out of fear that I might boil you?”. This sahabi said such a statement which made shook the king in his own kingdom and throne! “No, I am not crying out of fear that I might loose my life, but I am crying for only one soul is being sacrificed for the sake of Allāh and I wish I had a hundred souls which I could sacrifice in His cause one by one!”</p>
<p>Allāh Akbar! Is not his one life enough for him? Is not the pain he has to go through once not enough for this noble sahabi? No, he said it is not enough. He said rather he wish to boil hundred souls in Allāh’s path! See the difference in personality when the love of Allāh to sacrifice for Allāh gets mixed in souls.</p>
<p>Yes these are examples of people whose heart has migrated from the love of this entire world including his soul to the love of Allāh. And the example of Abu Dharr Al Libi RH is not very far from us to follow.</p>
<p>And aren’t these those who were said about them? “Verily, those who say: &#8220;Our Lord is (only) Allâh,&#8221; and thereafter Istaqâmû (i.e. stood firm and straight on the Islâmic Faith of Monotheism by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allâh has forbidden and by performing all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained), on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” ?</p>
<p><strong>Now my dear brother,</strong> in order to learn this, you must know why Allāh and His messenger must be loved most. So why is it that you would rather sacrifice all your life out of love to Allāh and His messenger? As for myself I would be an incapable person to be your guide in making you to understand this fact, as this cannot be taught without action, and cannot be sought without really facing difficulties in Allāh’s path.</p>
<p>But with my inexperienced knowledge I would say:- it is because He is your Creator, the One who created you out of nothing, who gave you everything while you gave Him nothing, who completed you and made you perfect, and guided you to Islam, and from amongst the Muslims he guided you to this noble path of Hijrah and Jihad to reward you with what is already known to you from Hūr’s and 100 levels (think this is in it’s full depth). For He is The One who bestowed every bounty on you, so while you are his belonging from the beginning, you would really seek, if you are truthful, to be amongst his loved creations. So with this love you have in you, you seek Allāh’s pleasure, and if He is pleased with you, He will reward you with Jannah. And this love can only be attained when you love your messenger more than anything in this world. For you have to drop all the maslaha and sacrifice everything when their commands come. And you should not disobey them giving any other thing like the ‘eight mentioned’ more importance than Allāh and His messenger.</p>
<p>As for the love for His messenger, it is because Allāh’s love can only be gained by loving Allāh’s messenger and following him. And Eeman cannot be gained if you love any other more than Allāh and His messenger. And until your desires follow everything which the prophet SAW brought, you cannot be counted amongst the people who are described as mu’mins. Concluding it can be said that, this matter is not theoretically understood but rather His love is gifted by Him only to whomever He wishes.</p>
<p>So one of this is a goal in itself. While the other, is a way to reach the goal. So ponder.</p>
<p>“So as love of Allāh is the reason which took you out of your house, may your goal to achieve His pleasure be the implementation of these two fundamentals…”</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:red;">“I joined democracy to bring Islam!” </span></span></strong>What a strange word which contradicts in its meaning. It is to say that I am worshipping many Idols in order to worship Allāh! Does this make any sense? Nevertheless people with such ideologies are not seen few in the Ummah of Islam. Scholars are trapped in this trial which the satan has beautified for them, leave alone the general mass.</p>
<p>The above quote and similar quotes like that, for example “I became a lawyer to defend Muslims” “I joined the police so I can be a help to Muslims who are arrested” or “I cannot leave the post of the grand mufti in apostate regimes as an evil scholar might take this position” “we have to register Islamic associations…etc in these apostate regimes so we can reach the mass without difficulty” “join these apostate regimes in order to make Jihad against your enemy from Hindus&#8230;etc” and much more sayings which we see now spread as a plague in this millat Ibrāhīmiyya hanafiyya.</p>
<p>So O the one who strives for the supremacy of Allāh’s word, did you ever think why many are trapped in these trails and misguidance? It is due to mixing up our priorities. It is due to the ignorance of what can be given priority over the other. It is because we lack the understanding of the Millat Ibrāhīm. It is because we lack the understanding of the fundamentals on which our beliefs must be built.</p>
<p>So know O slave of Allāh that the first priority you must have in your heart and action, over which nothing can be put forward, is seeking the pleasure of Allāh. This must be your goal to which you are striving, fighting, bleeding and crying. For if you lack, this quality in any deed you perform, your deed would be in vain and you will be among those who are said about them</p>
<p>“Laboring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allâh), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace) .</p>
<p>Say (O Muhammad SAW): &#8220;Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their) deeds?</p>
<p>Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds!</p>
<p>”. We can be the ones to deserve Jannah if only Allāh’s pleased with us. For it is not our action which makes us to enter into Jannah. And if anyone displeases Allāh, he will deserve hell fire. And nothing compels Allāh to do anything. For He is free of all compulsions, rather He does what He wills When He wills. And the evidences which testify to this meaning are many; like the prostitute who gave the water to the dog and the worshipper who said “Allāh will never forgive you.”</p>
<p>Now in order to obtain Allāh’s pleasure, there are many deeds. And there are orders to obtain the pleasure of Allāh. As it was stated above, we must not make what holds more priority, lower than what holds less priority. For if you go on this path it is possible that your actions might be rejected.</p>
<p>Now to attain the pleasure of Allāh, the first fundamental lies on the reason why all the prophets were sent, and the reason on which alliance and enmity rests on. This is the fundamental on which no maslaha is accepted. Rather all the maslaha that our human brain thinks after breaking this fundamental is in itself a mafsada. Rather this is the maslaha in itself. This is the base of all to what we call to. That is ‘To, make all the forms worships to Allāh Alone, and from that is to accept and adopt systems and rules from Allāh alone. With that, to keep our selves, away from all forms of servitude to anything besides Allāh. And from that is to reject and deny and keep our selves away from all the systems and rules which are not from Allāh. To call for this usūls and to base our alliance and enmity on this.</p>
<p>“And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): &#8220;Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Tâghût.”.</p>
<p>Now one must understand that to implement these two fundamentals all our deeds are done. And on this base are our actions directed, from our praying, to our Hijrah and Jihad. From our marriages we do, to our friendships. From the system of Islam that we implement, to the gratefulness we offer after eating. All are in based on these two fundamentals.</p>
<p>Now you will have a clearer image of the words of the Sahabi “we are a nation whom Allāh selected amongst the people, to take out the slaves from the servitude of slaves to the servitude of Rabb of slaves, (and to take out) from the oppression of all the ways of life to the justness (way of life) of Islam, (and to take out) from the compactness of the world to the vastness of the world and hereafter”.</p>
<p>So observe how all what the Sahabi mentioned fits in to the two fundamentals of this religion. Now ponder over these points as he mentions that we are guided by Allāh and we have no control over that. So the part we embraced Islam was Tawfīqī. And look how he makes the point that the one who embraces Islam is on a special mission unlike other humans who are not from this religion. He is on a noble mission which Allāh has made obligatory over him. And his mission is to take the people from darkness of shirk to the light of Tawheed and to strive to make the system of Islam the most supreme and dominant over all systems.</p>
<p>And as a result of this Allāh will end all forms of oppression. And for such a person the real vastness of the world and hereafter would be felt. The true meaning which I am struggling to tell you dear brothers about the light of Islam while I myself am still in this dark community from which the light of Islam has faded, cannot be truly understood, but to those people who have spent their lives out of the chains and restrictions of the laws and systems of taghūt. What a peaceful and sweet life is that life in which we are under the shade of the sharīah and under the teachings of Qur’an and Sunnah. Even though we fear the attacks of the kuffār, even though we have to go through famine, even though our weapons never leave us in those places where Islam is implemented, how delightful is that life where supremacy is to Allāh’s system alone! a life, where we are free from these laws which are made by the pigs with understanding of children, a life, where we do not see men worshipping men. This is the vastness. This is the success.</p>
<p>Now after your scope of thinking is directed into this clear way, now you will understand these words of the prophet SAW in its true meaning “O people say ‘Lā ilāha Illā Allāh’ you will be victorious, you will conquer the Arabs and the non Arabs, and the non Arabs will follow your way of life.” See how we cannot base our jihad but to implement these two fundamentals. Also remember that from the first breath we take in to this honorable religion to our last death gasp, our deeds must be directed towards implementing these two fundamentals.</p>
<p>And our deeds must be directed towards the implementation of these two fundamentals even after the worldly results which Allāh bestows on us, “Allâh has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practice their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islâm). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear, they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).”</p>
<p>So ‘Lā ilāha Illā Allāh’ is the goal for which we must strive from the beginning to the end. A word we hold unto in this world and the next.</p>
<p>“Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allah Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter.And Allah will cause to go astray those who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), and Allah does what He wills”.</p>
<p>So in accordance to this fundamental you must wage Jihad, you must walk on this path, you must give dawah to people and you must make your alliance and enmity</p>
<p>“Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrâhim (Abraham) and those with him, when they said to their people: &#8220;Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allâh, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred for ever, until you believe in Allâh Alone,&#8221; except the saying of Ibrâhim (Abraham) to his father: &#8220;Verily, I will ask for forgiveness (from Allâh) for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allâh .&#8221; Our Lord! In You (Alone) we put our trust, and to You (Alone) we turn in repentance, and to You (Alone) is (our) final Return”</p>
<p>So as love of Allāh is the reason which took you out of your house, may your goal to achieve His pleasure be the implementation of these two fundamentals.</p>
<p>And as for your sadness and concern for the Ummah you carry, for the sisters whose honors are being violated, and for the families who are being forced to leave their houses, and for those whose houses are demolished in front of their eyes, and for the Muslim prisoners who are caged worse than animals and treated worse than animals, and the Muslims who are killed day and night in the east and the west, is a noble concern which every Muslim must carry (and if that concern is not with a person, then he must be concerned about the certainty that this his ēmān is also lost).</p>
<p>But if you want to bring a solution to their disasters and pain, you must strive to implement these two goals. For the solution is in the results of the implementation of these two fundamentals. Or you will end up saving a goat from one wolf and entrusting it to another wolf and striving against one Taghūt for the supremacy of another Taghūt.</p>
<p>So my dear sincere brother who is on the path of Jihad and Hijrah, hold fast to these two fundamentals! Cling hard unto it. Make no compromise in it! For your goal is not bringing the Khilāfah, neither making Jihad or neither making Hijrah. But rather these are the fruits you achieve by implementing the two fundamentals and the means to achieve it. So do not mix these up and end up making the results of the goal to be the goal in itself or making the means to achieve the goal to be the goal in itself. See how whole nations are burnt for these two fundamentals while they have not made Hijrah or Jihad apart from implementing the sharīah. And ponder over the fact why some prophets come in the Day of Judgment and there is not a single follower with him.</p>
<p>And also think over the fact that for these people Allāh has said “and that is the great victory”.</p>
<p>So do not let others take advantage of your emotions. But rather understand what I am trying to say above. And give your blood for the ‘right tree’. ‘For sometimes giving blood is not difficult, rather giving it to the right place and in the achievement of the right objective is difficult’.</p>
<p>O you who believe! Obey Allâh and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allâh and His Messenger (SAW), if you believe in Allâh and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination.</p>
<p>“Verily the most truthful word is the word of Allāh, and the best of the guidance is the guidance is the guidance of Muhammad SAW, and worst matters are the innovations…”</p>
<p>In each and every matter of our life, the only guidance which must be followed is that of Allāh and His messenger. In following that, you will find peace and salvation. And by following that you will achieve all the success. For Allāh knows everything which benefits us and which harms us while we do not know.</p>
<p>“Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh&#8217;s Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know”</p>
<p>So O Striver for the supremacy of the Word of Allaah, rely your knowledge unto Allāh, for He knows while we know not, He is our Creator and He knows the results and consequences of all what we do.</p>
<p>Know that He forbade us from everything which is wrong and harmful and warned us, for He knows the bitter consequence if we do it, even if we see with our plain eyes that, that path is prosperous and easy.</p>
<p>And He ordered us to do what is useful for us, in this world and the next, for He knows the fruitful result that we will achieve if we follow His orders, even if we see with our plain eyes that that path is full of blood and trails.</p>
<p>So take this as your way in each and everything that you do. Know that if Allāh commands you to do a thing you must follow without questions or compromising.</p>
<p>And if you think that it is not wise to implement Allāh’s commands in the current situation due certain reasons, know that you are wrong in your assumption. And what Allāh has ordered has all the maslaha in it, while what you think from your incapable mind which contradicts that what Allāh and His prophet had said has all the mafsada in it. “For Allāh knows but you do not know”.</p>
<p>This is a very important principle which we see many people who are engaged in the Dawah deviating from. They think the theories which they themselves and their shuyūkh make in order to make Allāh’s word most supreme, are better than the path on which the prophet SAW and the Sahāba walked on. They think their theories are full of wisdom and intelligence because they avoid with there ‘Hikma’ all the confrontation from the people and the tughāt. And they criticize those who walk on the path of the prophet SAW and the sahāba, on the clear millat of Ibrahīm, For they see these people are the one being arrested, jailed, beaten and killed for being on truth. And due to these strong heroes, who inspires even the enemies, they falsehood of these evil scholars becomes apparent and the false compromising they do becomes naked. But know that these theories which the these evil scholars think and plot are only made to save their ‘prosper’ way of life.<br />
They would design a road map in which they would never have to sacrifice anything in the path of Allāh. Such a ‘wise’ map in which their wealth, posh cars, grand palaces, nice perfumes, high posts in the apostate regimes and their friendship with the enemies of Allāh are saved and preserved.</p>
<p>A map in which they can even adopt kufr systems like capitalism, democracy or even they can get registered in those Taghūt regimes in the names of parties and associations so they can avoid all the confrontation with these ‘legal’ (as they think) and ‘wise’ way.</p>
<p>And if they see a Muslim confronting these Tughāt, with his tongue and teeth, not compromising in anything which Allāh has ordered him, and following on his path the milestones which Allāh and His messenger has placed for him… they will start to criticize him, out cast him as a fool and a person who is unaware of the wise ways from which better results come (although the only result they get is more slavery for the taghūt and dishonor for Muslims). For the forged false piece of glass which is cut like a diamond only becomes clear when the true diamond is seen to people.</p>
<p>So the good results that they say, is in reality the slavery they have to do to these tughāts in which they hide the clear proofs to buy with it a small amount of dinars and dirhams, while with that compromising in which he is a slave to the taghūt and his laws in this world and he follows the taghut in the hereafter. And this method saves his prosper way of life in this finite world for a limited time, while Muslims are suffering worldwide.</p>
<p>The evil scholars say that they (the brothers of Jihad and Tawheed) are just young people with no knowledge, just people with ‘blind hamas’, and people who are short sighted and people with no ‘patience’ (which really means ‘not to act on the obligations which comes due to circumstances which befalls the Ummah, rather run with your own interests like studying and teaching (while leaving what is more obligatory like Jihad), business…etc’ ), and from Allāh we seek help over what they ascribe to us.</p>
<p>O brothers and sisters don’t be amongst those who were ascribed as fools by Allāh</p>
<p>The fools among the people will say, &#8220;What has turned them (Muslims) from their Qiblah] to which they were used to face in prayer.&#8221; Say, (O Muhammad SAW) &#8220;To Allâh belong both, east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a Straight Way.&#8221;</p>
<p>This implies on each and every person, whom after Allāh’s commands comes to him, he gives priority to his incapable brain over Allāh’s most wise saying. And he starts reasoning with his ignorant mind, and say why not this and why not that? And the Haraj from his heart doesn’t become clear for the proofs are against his desires and the full submission is not founded as these misguided people would be seen following there own desires.</p>
<p>But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission.</p>
<p>But rather, our way must be:</p>
<p>The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allâh (His Words, the Qur&#8217;ân) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, is that they say: &#8220;We hear and we obey.&#8221; And such are the prosperous ones (who will live forever in Paradise).</p>
<p>And we must know with that we have no choice but to obey and refer all our affairs to Allāh and His prophet SAW:</p>
<p>It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.</p>
<p>And we must never like those who say:</p>
<p>They (hypocrites) say: &#8220;We have believed in Allâh and in the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and we obey,&#8221; then a party of them turn away thereafter, such are not believers.</p>
<p>And when they are called to Allâh (i.e. His Words, the Qur&#8217;ân) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, lo! a party of them refuse (to come) and turn away.</p>
<p>But if the right is with them, they come to him willingly with submission.</p>
<p>Is there a disease in their hearts? Or do they doubt or fear lest Allâh and His Messenger (SAW) should wrong them in judgment. Nay, it is they themselves who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists, hypocrites and wrong-doers, etc.).</p>
<p>So basing upon the verses above, one must know that Qur’an and Sunnah are the only guidance we must refer to. Whoever is on that path is right. Whoever is not on that path is on error and misguidance.</p>
<p>Also after the decree of Allāh and his messenger, we must never look at our left or the right. We must never seek a misguidance besides the clear guidance of Qur’an and Sunnah. We must never even ask why this was obligated and why wasn’t this obligated? We must know that this implies in all the aspects of our life.</p>
<p>So O Slave of Rahman, if you want to walk on the noble path to make Allāh’s word most supreme, make this your way. And follow what Allāh and his prophet SAW have said in situations regardless what the general mass say, that is if they lack a daleel. And leave your knowledge to the One who knows everything. If you follow this path you will be guided. And you will certainly reach your goal.</p>
<p>So don’t you see the fact that the prophet SAW did establish the Land of Islam even in his lifetime? And while the people who are not on his guidance to bring Islam are up to this date struggling? The best methodology to achieve the goals to which we are striving in the fields of Dawah was shown to us by the prophet SAW.</p>
<p>See and ponder how Allāh guided in each and every step which was taken by the prophet SAW in this harsh path, and see how Allāh made the path clear to the prophet SAW and the sahāba as how to walk on this path which is now so much misunderstood to the people of this time. See how Allāh did make that noble group so disciplined, and see how Allāh explains all the sicknesses which occurs in that society and its cure, see how Allāh explains that His guidance is the true guidance and the only guidance to follow.</p>
<p>So see how He would at places say“ follow not their desires”</p>
<p>and say “if you follow their desires after the knowledge which came to you, then you are amongst the oppressors”</p>
<p>and he would assure the prophet SAW saying that he is on truth and advise him regarding the nature of the disbelievers “ they wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would compromise with you.”</p>
<p>So in brief Allāh guided His prophet SAW in the struggle to make His word most supreme, in each and every step. So know that the matter is Tawgīfī. So follow the guidance of Allāh and His messenger in each and every step in your fierce struggle. And in this the result will be like the results they achieved. And there is no doubt about it. It is as simple as if we add two with two, the result will always be four. Never five or three. So think this in both ways. If we differ in our calculation the result will be different. ‘For only if we stand like them, we’ll achieve victory as they have achieved’.</p>
<p>“They are those whom Allâh had guided. So follow their guidance”</p>
<p>&#8220;And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqûn”</p>
<p>And under this topic I would like to add some more points. That one must know that when Allāh SW has said “This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion” it means that each and everything regarding Islam has been perfected from how it should be acted upon and how it should be preached or implemented, as stated above. Nothing needs to be added to Islam. “and your Lord is never forgetful”</p>
<p>And the guidance of the Prophet is the best of guidance. So learn this in each and every aspect of life. and follow the ways of the prophet SAW and sahāba in each and everything that you do without differing even an inch. Do this, if you want to see the same results. For now we see that we have adopted in many things, matters which were not from Islam or which differs from the way which was in the first generations of Islam.</p>
<p>As an example in our learning and teaching, see how corrupted the systems has become which are now adopted by Muslims, and how the Muslims are following the ways of Kuffār in this regard. And the results are disastrous and not fruitful. See how perfect the first generation was and what came after that, and even in the times of the pious scholars who came after hundreds of years. See how fruitful that system was, while the current systems we have adopted in most of our Islamic Universities by copying the systems of Kuffār have failed to bring but a handful of useful people. And most of these useful people are people who stood up against these systems.</p>
<p>And nowadays we see among many faculties like engineering and medical…etc, we see Islamic faculty amongst those. As if Islam is a knowledge for us to learn for itself. So they give BA’s MA’s and PhD’s for the graduates and these graduates use it like any other would use with his medical certificate or engineering certificate like finding a job based on it, and he would issue verdicts which incites people to sit back from each and every place where action, blood and sweat is needed. For he himself learned it like that. And he saw his teachers like that who were mostly paid by the Taghūts. Who were always silent asking them to be patient when Muslims are being killed and torn. They make this knowledge something, which is sought for the sake of knowing and not for the sake of implementing. So this made the mean to gain the objective to be the objective. This made his thinking so limited that he couldn’t think out of this scope. And he could never even dream that his teachers could be on a wrong way even if he sees them not acting over clear matters like Hijrah and Jihad. So now we see a whole generation of youth stuck in this fitnah. They learned compromising and servitude to the tughāts and sheihk worshipping, and that is exactly what they teach. So observe the difference of results when we differ in methodology.</p>
<p>So follow the guidance of the prophet and the Sahāba in each and every matter, and do not worry even if the people accuse you to be ‘back warded’ or even if see this adopted by the mass and even the from the scholars whom you respect. For the best guidance is in Qur’an and Sunnah. So don’t even think on the consequences of your action if you are on a clear daleel, for the best outcome will be in your favor if you are on the path of the Sahāba. And the criticizers do not know what is best for them, but Allāh and His prophet knows.</p>
<p>The matter of education is just a single example and the examples are many. Like the sheikhhood, Allāma and other commonly used words which we never saw practiced as we practice it nowadays which becomes ‘a praise’ in the face sometimes. And these has lead many to take these scholars to be flawless and to blind follow them and take them as idols besides Allaah.</p>
<p>We have opened our eyes in such an age of darkness that we see many matters which are not from Islam in the cloak of Islam, so beware of those matters and don’t practice or promote it in your words or actions. And from Allāh help is sought.</p>
<p>Also another point to be noted is that, one must be certain and sure that his scales should be according to what Allāh and His prophet has taught. His scale in everything he measures, from right and wrong, from nice and ugly, from good and bad, from clean and ugly, from those whom he must follow from those whom he must reject, from respect to disrespect must be weighed according to Qur’an and Sunnah. So he must never make his culture or traditions or the kufr education he has received from his secular schools to be with what he weighs anything.</p>
<p>This mistake has lead many people to not comprehend many realities of Islam. As the viruses of culture and other similar matters becomes a preventing factor from understanding things according to Islam. Like the matter of the permissibility of the wealth of Kuffār. They weigh this matter on the ‘destructive concepts’ they have unknowingly adopted from the secular schools. So they are caught in doubt when one says the wealth of Kuffār is permissible and we can take it where ever we find it (excludes the mu’āhad..etc). For they find uneasiness in their souls and think that this is ‘robbery’ and ‘looting’.</p>
<p>And in this regard we must make our technical language the language of Qur’an and Sunnah, and we must know that words would only carry the meaning to which the Qur’an and Sunnah had carried. NOT to what the secular teachers, cultures, environments and traditions has taught us. And we must proudly use those terminologies without any hesitation. Like the word ‘civilian’ which in reality carries no meaning whatsoever in Islam so we must not use that word but rather use the language which the Qur’an and Sunnah taught us in this matter. So in realty our tradition, culture, nationality and environment must be Islam rather than Islamizing those.</p>
<p>And another point I must note is that, we must not make Qur’an and Sunnah to be what follows a group or organization or scholar. But rather how much a group or organization or scholar has gained in success, these must follow Qur’an and Sunnah. We must understand mistakes might occur from them. So in these circumstances we must defend the Qur’an and Sunnah, not everything these people or organizations do. This is now a spreading disease in us.</p>
<p>As when we see a mistake from those whom we respect or follow, we try to protect that mistake and justify it using history and events which are not even fit to take evidence. And this in reality is even a downfall for these people or organizations if one thinks in the bigger out comes. So we must understand that Usama (may Allāh protect him) and Al Qaeda also might make a mistake for they are merely humans following Qur’an and Sunnah. So if they make a mistake you must understand that it is a mistake and must never try to justify it and never try to hide it to protect them (with false arguments) but you must tell that to the necessary people as to advise not to corrupt.</p>
<p>And if the same mistakes are found in people or organizations which we don’t follow, we see ourselves hastening in refuting and criticizing them, even some times being so harsh as to take them totally out of the fold of Islam.</p>
<p>So O slave of Allāh, carry a just heart which weighs everything, even your own concepts and beliefs according to Qur’an and Sunnah then you will attain success in this world and next.</p>
<p><span style="color:red;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">A chapter under know your priority</span></strong></span></p>
<p>Know O lion of Islam whose intention is only to achieve the pleasure of Allaah with the help of Allaah, for the love of Allaah, through implementing Tawheed and eliminating Shirk by the best of means to order good and forbid the Munkar, which is Jihad, with patience and with reliance on Allaah alone! Know that as there are callers to this noble path, as there are people who have left the milestones written with their blood, guiding you to the path of Jihad, whose words are like:</p>
<p>See you not how Allah sets forth a parable? &#8211; A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e. very high).</p>
<p>Giving its fruit at all times, by the Leave of its Lord and Allah sets forth parables for mankind in order that they may remember,</p>
<p>And like that you will find many who will try to stop you from this path with weak arguments with no stability:</p>
<p>And the parable of an evil word is that of an evil tree uprooted from the surface of earth having no stability.</p>
<p>But in the end the best outcome is in the favor of the believers:</p>
<p>Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allah Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter.And Allah will cause to go astray those who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.), and Allah does what He wills.</p>
<p>So O the one who walks on this path, in order to reach your goal without deviation, it is essential that you must be aware of the paths of the wrong doers. It is important for you to have knowledge as to recognize the falsehood when you see it. It is essential that the argumentations and doubts which the satans and the enemies of this religion create be cleared lest it may prevent you with the help Allaah from falling in one of the trenches which these enemies have dug in your path.</p>
<p>Know that these Satans I am talking of comes in many forms, in the form of your parents, your closest friends and advisors, your respected wise men, and the worst form of it is when it comes under the cloaks of Islam and Sunnah, when it comes under the cloak of ‘great notable’ scholars, who are worshipped like idols. When it comes from the people who brought you up while teaching you. Who gave you the first spoons of knowledge. Who are respected by you as flawless mountains of knowledge. Who are known to be Mujaddids and Muhaddiths of this nation. Those whom you used to defend with your tongue and teeth. When these idols of knowledge come with arguments it becomes impossible for their student to say that these idols which I so much worshipped could be on a false way. So after seeing this, the student is dumb folded as not knowing what to decide. If I walk on the path of the Mujaahideen, then does this mean that the idols of knowledge would be crushed? Or are the Mujaahideen the people with shortsightedness as my idol of knowledge tells?</p>
<p>This roots from the fact that these students where brought up trained to totally blind follow their teachers without thinking in the least. So somehow knowing or unknowingly priority is been given to these Idols over the clear statements of the Allaah and His Prophet. And you will see them defending these idols when the teachers have breached the clear proofs which even the children are aware of. You’ll see them getting worried when the falsehood of their idol from whom many paths of deviation are made permissible and many paths to guidance and good are being forbidden, are being explained. They will say the fleshes of the scholars are poisoned, so don’t get near it. Although this scholar would be seen poisoning the clear understanding of the texts while twisting those texts to the benefit of their masters from the tawagheet. So we rather leave the texts be poisoned than explaining the deviation in which the scholar has occurred in?</p>
<p>And you will see these students trying to divert you from the reality of the matter saying ‘why waste time on such matters?’. And the same person would be seen writing books and articles praising those false scholars. Or you will find him defending in each and every way providing patches to the nudity which becomes apparent to a just heart. And when this person knows that the patches would no longer be of benefit, then at this time he will waste his time going to lengths advising that talking on these topics (which crushes the false idols of knowledge from the scholars of the govt.) is just a waste of time.</p>
<p>And their twists and tricks are not unknown to us. And for Allaah is all the praise.</p>
<p>So under another topic I have mentioned that we must love Allaah and His messenger the most so that our faith would be complete. This also includes that you leave the saying of everyone in front the saying of Allaah and His messenger. And this is the way of the noble salaf as you can see in their words.</p>
<p>Coming back to our topic after this introduction, one must be clear on the fact that no human is innocent of mistakes except the Prophet SAW. And the saying of everybody must be left for Allaah and His messenger must be our manhaj. Now if you have cured your heart from the sickness of sheikh worshipping and blind following and if you have elevated your selves from being mere cattle shepherded by people to whom you have entrusted your brain and heart, you will have a clearer understanding of what will follow.</p>
<p>From here we will start explaining falsehood and weak arguments which are always repeated by the parrots of the Tughaat, and even by sincere brothers, who are mislead by evil scholars, or even by sincere scholars who are unaware of how evil should be rooted out. So what follows might contain texts which might be severe, but it is not directed towards our brothers rather to the hypocrites who hide under the cloaks of Talafiyya and its likes.</p>
<p>So we begin and from Allaah we ask all the help.</p>
<p>They will say: O ye who believe! save yourselves and your families from a Fire….</p>
<p>So they will say rather than going to countries far away to perform Jihad you must stay here in your family and your countries to preach them Islam and to save them from fire…</p>
<p>This misunderstanding roots from their ignorance in some important parts which each and every muslim must carry.</p>
<p>First they have taken an understanding from this verse which differs from how the Sahaaba took it. The prophet SAW did not stop from making Hijrah to Madinah due the reason that members of his family were yet on kufr. Neither did this stop any of the Sahaaba. But they left their families and migrated for Allaah’s cause to places from where they can implement Islam. To this extent that they even left their wives and children if they refused. So the matter is to respond to the bigger obligation. Not mixing it up as mentioned in another chapter. So taking care of your family and calling them to Islam is a responsibility over you, but when Jihad is fardh ayn and when the lands you live in have become Dar kufr, and when dar Islam’s are made in which shareeah is implemented while your land rots with the stench of the man made laws, it becomes obligatory for you to migrate and to perform Jihad.</p>
<p>So saving ourselves and families from fire doesn’t carry any meaning that we have to stay in the country that we were born to do that, this was never mentioned in the verse. But saving ourselves first and our families really means that we have to make them act on what is obligatory. That is in reality saving them.</p>
<p>Lets go to the depths of this verse and the verses which follows. As the answer consists in these verses for even the naked eye. First it says save your selves, as the man will be asked about himself first and then about what he took care. So the first is important than the second. So the man himself is the one to whom the questions will be directed, and then he will be asked about the ones who are attached to him. So in this case he will first act on what is obligatory over him, if he wants to attain the objective from the verse that is salvation from fire. And in order to do this he must understand the order of obligations. The order is he will have to act upon the obligation no matter who acts or rejects its. If the rejecters are from those who are under his authority, he must take them out of the fold of his authority (if they persist in their ways) and go on with the obligation. Then he will be saved for they will be not under his authority then. But if he stops from doing what is obligatory until the people under his authority acts on it, he will be sinning until he fulfills what is obligatory over him. And he will not be saved from fire for he neither saved himself nor his family from fire.</p>
<p>See how these meanings are explained clearly in the following verses about the wife of Loot and Nooh. Look how these prophets left those who were under their authority and went on with what Allaah made obligatory over them when their family refused to join them on the caravans of salvation. Nooh even left his own child and went on with the obligation that Allaah has ordered. And look how Allaah explains that these prophets are not responsible for the kufr of their families for they left them to fulfill the obligation which Allaah has commanded them. Now this part is for the person who is given authority over others.</p>
<p>Now the following verse about the wife of pharaoh is about the fact that you don’t have to listen to what the authorities say when they are on other than what Allaah commanded, but rather you have to follow what Allaah commanded. For the pharaoh is the authority over his wife, but here Allaah explains how priorities must be understood, that it is first yourself then your family, not that you have to wait to fulfill the obligation until your family does it. Whether you are the authority or the one governed.</p>
<p>So know your obligations and how to handle it and don’t fall in to this misconception which most people take to stay in the lands of kufr to enjoy (for a limited time) a worldly benefit. But rather act on what is obligatory over you.</p>
<p>The second part is their saying ‘your countries’. This originates from the misconception of what the real country of a Muslim should be. This originates from the fact that he has taken the language of the kuffaar to understand a verse from the Qur’an (and even the verse doesn’t carry this meaning). He has taken the lines which the Zionists drew in the lands of Islam, giving it to their agents to rule with their laws as his country. He has forgotten the fact that his country is each and everyplace where Islam is implemented even if he never reaches it. And he forgets that wherever Islam is not implemented cannot be his country even though he was born or died on it. So our nationality is Islam and our country is Dar Islam. And this love to make our ‘lands of kufr’ better, roots from the matter that we are unaware that this love for the country is a form of jaahiliyya.</p>
<p>Third part is ‘preach to its people’. Now this misconception is also due to the fact that they have not understood the verse in accordance to the understanding of the Sahaaba. This is also due to misunderstanding the order of obligations. One must understand that giving dawah is a fardh kifaaya and at times a fardh ayn. And performing jihad and making Hijrah when if both of these are fardh ayn, the importance of these two becomes more wajib than staying back and giving dawah. And a person who stays back from jihad when it is fardh ayn saying I am staying here to make dawah, has mixed up his priorities. For when jihad was fardh ayn, non stood back from the sahaaba with this claim. Rather they all went out with the exception of those whom Allaah excused. And Allaah was very severe on those who stood back. This is as a person cannot stay without performing prayer until the time passes claiming that I am doing an obligation. So this person is saving people with his dawah while he himself is preparing a pit for him in hell, for he is staying back from the most obligatory matters. So will a sane person do this? Like wise Jihad, must be understood in this way, when it is a fardh ayn like the current times.<br />
<span style="color:red;"><br />
People hold back from going to the lands of Jihad claiming that they stay in their lands to over throw the taaghuts…</span></p>
<p>For these people we advice if you are staying back to obey Allaah’s orders then know that going to Jihad when it is a fardh Ayn is more obligatory, which is most obligatory after Eeman. Like what is observed in our current times. These claims under which you hide lest your comfortable life may be lost are but excuses you show to stay back from jihad. And if your intention was pure we will not see you compromising at many obligations while you are at it. If you are sincere, then face these taghuts on the millat of the Khaleelein without any compromise and then if this is the case then, we will really know that you are sincere in your claim. But if you are tackling this, by joining the democratic system or by making associations which doesn’t forbid munkar and neither calls for mau’roof, rather they get involved in things which the taghut likes and gives permission as if this religion is a buffet for them to eat from what they like and leave what they like to enter paradise, while they don’t abide to the basic fundamentals of Wala and Bara, then we know that you are liars in your claims! And what you only desire is to protect your way of life. For you are not doing what is obligatory over you. But rather you are joking with the religion and its people, deceiving them. Rather the likes of you are seen saying to the brothers who are on the Millat of Khaleelein and on the path of Jihad “Lo! the hypocrites say, and those in whose hearts is a disease: &#8220;These people,- their religion has misled them.&#8221; But if any trust in Allah, behold! Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.”</p>
<p>So if this is done for Allaah’s command, why do you hold back when something becomes more obligatory over you? Do you think anybody can be deceived if one says that ‘he is missing obligatory prayers to give dawah?’ do you think that even a person with the minor understanding of Islam would think this to be logical apart from the shareeah point of view? But O deceiver to his own soul this is exactly what you are doing. You have stayed back from doing what is more obligatory over you, that is Jihad in the current times.</p>
<p>And if you think in a bigger scope, you will understand that the overthrowing of the tughaats would be from the results of Jihad. For once you migrate to the lands of jihad and give your share to the implementation of the two fundamentals; you are in reality contributing to over throw these tughaats. For these lands will expand (bi ithnillaah) with flag of tawheed fluttering high. And once these lands expand, it will eventually over throw all the rulers who don’t rule with what Allaah revealed.</p>
<p>In another perspective, what is the goal that you want to achieve by over throwing these tughaats? Is it to implement the shareeah? Then in reality you must understand that upon what is obligatory over you, is to be in a place where you don’t get ruled by the taghuts rules, so if this is your goal, then migrate to the lands of Jihad where you are not bounded by the rules of the taghut. And this is the way in which you will not be sinful, as you are fulfilling what is obligatory over you. And this is really understanding your priorities. For how could one stay in a place where he is ruled by the laws of taghut’s being sinful due to that, claiming that he is staying there to over throw the taghut? And if he is truthful then he must abide to the Millat of Khaleelein, then he will not be sinful. But if one doesn’t have this eeman in him, he must at least forbid it in his heart. And forbidding by the heart is to stay away from those places by migrating, not to be in the middle of it without forbidding.</p>
<p>In another perspective, the taghuts in the most lands where muslims are a majority, are but roots from the real core. So even if one over throws these tughats by going through democratic systems, the first taghut would be replaced by a latter one. But if one takes Jihad as his means (which is fought for the implementation of the two fundamentals) to over throw him then, in that case the good results will come. So if a group of people lack this capability, then they must migrate to places where shareeah is implemented, as to not to fit under the verse of “Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah&#8217;s earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey&#8217;s end.”</p>
<p>And the unity of this Ummah will only be achieved if they are gathered under one banner, but if all stays back with this claim, then the only thing we will achieve is disunity.</p>
<p>All of this was to make you understand the fruits of Jihad in which you see only with your limited sight, blood being spilled and your wealth and the rest being lost. But the real Hukm now is that we must migrate to the places where Jihad is being done, as it is a fardh ayn, and the rulings of this is well known.</p>
<p><span style="color:red;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>They will say “excuse me and do not put me to trials….”</strong></span></span></p>
<p>This is again another misconception raised by the deceivers of their own souls to stay back from going to jihad. They will say this in a bit modified way nowadays. That is: ‘we are weak in Eeman and knowledge, so if we go to Jihad with this limited knowledge and Eeman the satan might come and put us to trials, and we might not be able to make Jihad Nafs, and we will be in trails as a result of it.’</p>
<p>Subhaanallaah! Allaah has spoken the truth! For He says “their hearts has become alike….” so we have a questions to these deceivers, is the Eeman and knowledge only sought in your cute adobes, and universities? Or under the shuyookh who don’t even sweat for the cause of Allaah?</p>
<p>What did you think O deceiver of his own soul? Do you claim that Eeman can be learned while not sweating in Allaah’s cause? While not bleeding in Allaah’s course? While not facing trials in Allaah’s path? Then you are wrong! Rather we understand that these are but excuses from you to stay back! For Eeman and knowledge can only be understood by action, not by learning it without acting on it.</p>
<p>Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much.</p>
<p>Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust!</p>
<p>But in reality your staying back from Jihad with this claim is the real trail in which you are falling! As Allaah says in the completion of the verse “…Lo in the fitnah (trial, kufr) they have fallen and the Hell encompasses the disbelievers”.</p>
<p>For your merely staying back from Jihad is a fitnah in itself! But the hypocrites understands not.</p>
<p>So what do you say about the Sahabi who came to a war and said “shall I fight or embrace Islam?” the prophet SAW said “embrace Islam and fight!” so this sahaabi fought and he was martyred. He did not even prostate to Allaah once! So how knowledgeable was he? And how much has he read the books of Jihad Nafs while staying in cool places where all the foods of every color was available? And are you saying the person who told him to embrace Islam was not as wise as you or the misguided scholars you blind follow? Woe on you, for you are but deceiving your own soul!</p>
<p>Also see after the conquest of Makkah, the prophet SAW was there for a month, then he went to the battle of Hunein with the new sahaabi’s who became Muslims. So was this another unwise act? Or if you were in that time would you rather suggest that the prophet must leave the new sahaabi’s of Islam to learn how to make Jihad Nafs? “and what is wrong with you, that how are you judging?”</p>
<p>O ye who believe! Be not like the Unbelievers, who say of their brethren, when they are traveling through the Earth or engaged in fighting: &#8220;If they had stayed with us, they would not have died, or been slain.&#8221; This that Allah may make it a cause of sighs and regrets in their hearts. It is Allah that gives Life and Death, and Allah sees well all that ye do</p>
<p>And “(They are) the ones that say, (of their brethren slain), while they themselves sit (at ease): &#8220;If only they had listened to us they would not have been slain.&#8221; Say: &#8220;Avert death from your own selves, if ye speak the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>The hypocrites of our age again twists these wordings and modify it and say “see what happens when you do things unwisely, we are so sad over our brothers who have died in Afghanistan from Taaliban and Al Qaida, we always advised them to be more wise and don’t let your hamas blind you. But they would not listen for if they have listened “they would not have died, or been slain”. These words are uttered in places where they are in front of people who have love for this religion. But when they are alone with the devils from the tughats and their helpers from the police and so on, the sad tone leaves their tongues and suddenly their status becomes to this “And when they meet those who believe, they say: &#8220;We believe,&#8221; but when they are alone with their Shayatin (devils &#8211; polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: &#8220;Truly, we are with you; verily, we were but mocking.”</p>
<p>And the soft words to this “Covetous over you. Then when fear comes, thou wilt see them looking to thee, their eyes revolving, like (those of) one over whom hovers death: but when the fear is past, they will smite you with sharp tongues, covetous of goods. Such men have no faith, and so Allah has made their deeds of none effect: and that is easy for Allah.”.</p>
<p>They speak as if the consequences are what determine what we should act from what we should leave!</p>
<p>So what about the story of the people of the ditch? Or rather would you be seen as an apostate that day, by changing your religion? Or should they not act upon what is obligatory over them?</p>
<p>Or even forming of Madina, when the prophet knew its consequence of how the whole world would come to make war with it? So rather the prophet SAW must stay without making a Dar Islam according to your saying? Fie on you and on what you say!</p>
<p><span style="font-size:large;">Rather ponder on these verses which were as if it was revealed about you:</span></p>
<p>After (the excitement) of the distress, He sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions of Allah-suspicions due to ignorance. They said: &#8220;What affair is this of ours?&#8221; Say thou: &#8220;Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah&#8217;s.&#8221; They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): &#8220;If we had had anything to do with this affair, We should not have been in the slaughter here.&#8221; Say: &#8220;Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death&#8221;; but (all this was) that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!&#8221; If some good befalls them, they say, &#8220;This is from Allah&#8221;; but if evil, they say, &#8220;This is from thee&#8221; (O Prophet). Say: &#8220;All things are from Allah.&#8221; But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?</p>
<p>Disputing with thee concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death and they (actually) saw it.</p>
<p>Say: &#8220;Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or slaughter; and even if (ye do escape), no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-size:large;">So our answer for you O deceivers of your own souls is:</span></p>
<p>Say: Can ye await for us aught save one of two good things (death or victory in Allah&#8217;s way)? while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with a doom from Him or at our hands. Await then! Lo! We are awaiting with you.</p>
<p>So isn’t in the death of Khalid Ibn Waleed, an example for the cowards who fear death?</p>
<p>As for you O brother of tawheed do not let these hypocrites divert you from the real path! All they want is to make an excuse to protect their way of life, which based on oppression. And they would not want you to go, for if you go they will be exposed to the people. So to avoid this they will give you names and call you a deviant. But do not worry and do not care! Even if this hypocrite comes in the name of a Mujaddid or a Muhaddith or a community leader do not be deceived. Allaah has explained their features, so know them with it.</p>
<p><span style="color:red;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Before coming to an end….</span></strong></span></p>
<p>There are some verses I would like you to think about…</p>
<p>Those are:</p>
<p>Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.</p>
<p>So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah&#8217;s Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islam), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allah to continue in carrying out Jihad against the disbelievers till they embrace Islam (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allah&#8217;s Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost,</p>
<p>He will guide them and set right their state.</p>
<p>And admit them to Paradise which He has made known to them (i.e. they will know their places in Paradise more than they used to know their houses in the world).</p>
<p>O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.</p>
<p>Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.</p>
<p>O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault. That is the grace of Allah, which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth. And Allah encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.</p>
<p>Muhammad is no more than a messenger: many Were the messenger that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then Turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah; but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude.</p>
<p>And say not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah, &#8220;They are dead.&#8221; Nay, they are living, but you perceive (it) not.</p>
<p>And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that they amass (of worldly wealths, etc.).</p>
<p>And whether you die, or are killed, verily, unto Allah you shall be gathered.</p>
<p>And reckon not those who are killed in Allah&#8217;s way as dead; nay, they are alive (and) are provided sustenance from their Lord;</p>
<p>They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His Bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve.</p>
<p>So their Lord accepted of them (their supplication and answered them), &#8220;Never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female. You are (members) one of another, so those who emigrated and were driven out from their homes, and suffered harm in My Cause, and who fought, and were killed (in My Cause), verily, I will remit from them their evil deeds and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise); a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.</p>
<p>And those foremost [(in Islamic Faith of Monotheism and in performing righteous deeds) in the life of this world on the very first call for to embrace Islam,] will be foremost (in Paradise).</p>
<p>These will be those nearest to Allah.</p>
<p>In the Gardens of delight (Paradise).</p>
<p>A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islam).</p>
<p>And a few of those (foremost) will be from the later time (generations).</p>
<p>(They will be) on thrones woven with gold and precious stones,</p>
<p>Reclining thereon, face to face.</p>
<p>They will be served by immortal boys,</p>
<p>With cups, and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine</p>
<p>Wherefrom they will get neither any aching of the head, nor any intoxication.</p>
<p>And fruit; that they may choose.</p>
<p>And the flesh of fowls that they desire.</p>
<p>And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious),</p>
<p>Like unto preserved pearls.</p>
<p>A reward for what they used to do.</p>
<p>No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.).</p>
<p>But only the saying of: Salam!, Salam! (greetings with peace) !</p>
<p>And strive hard in Allah&#8217;s Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islamic Monotheism). It is He (Allah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Quran), that the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform As*Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), give Zakat and hold fast to Allah [i.e. have confidence in Allah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs] He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Excellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper!</p>
<p><span style="color:red;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">And in the end:</span></strong></span></p>
<p>And they will say: &#8220;All the praises and thanks be to Allah Who has fulfilled His Promise to us and has made us inherit (this) land. We can dwell in Paradise where we will; how excellent a reward for the (pious good) workers!&#8221;</p>
<p>And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne (of Allah) from all round, glorifying the praises of their Lord (Allah). And they (all the creatures) will be judged with truth, and it will be said. All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the &#8216;Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).</p>
<div>All praises to Allaah with His help this letter is complete.
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Your brother in Islam</p>

<description><![CDATA[Another blow to Munafiqun of Pakistani Media and another leaked video [as predicted, it isn't aired ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Another blow to Munafiqun of Pakistani Media and another leaked video [as predicted, it isn't aired on media to cover the massacre of Pakistani Muslims].</p>
<p>Pakistan&#8217;s highly paid munafiqun who basically portray as self-proclaimed defense analyst dry their throats on T.V. saying that &#8220;It is Indian and CIA agents Pakistani army is fighting in Swat and Wazirisitan&#8221; &#8211; which is nothing more than a blatant lie just like presence of WMDs in Iraq.</p>
<p>This leaked video shows recently captured Mujahideen from Waziristan in recent operation, whom these experts call CIA/RAW agents, are in fact Arab Muslims and belonging to Saudi Arabia. One Mujahid tells his name and names the part of Saudi Arabia it belongs, then second and then third.</p>
<p>It is another blow to the munafiqun of Pakistan who come on T.V. and lie to please their dollars paying masters. Alhamdulillah, time is exposing who is a real Munafiq and agent of Kuffar getting paid in dollars and who are true Mujahideen fighting in defense of Muslim land against invasion of Kuffar and their munafiq friends. </p>
<p>Pakistanis must compell their fathers, sons, cousins and friends working in army, at operational levels, that this is NOT Pakistan&#8217;s war to fight and there is NO enemy of Pakistan. All of this drama is for USA&#8217;s pleasure and earning of dollars by handful of people who have sold their souls to Kuffar together with fate of entire Pakistani nation.</p>
<p>May Allah save Ummah from such munafiqun and help those who are fighting against Kuffar and their agents.</p>

<description><![CDATA[As the nation&#8217;s attention is passionately riveted to the death rattles of Pelobama Care, some ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><!-- 		@page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --><span style="font-size:medium;">As the nation&#8217;s attention is passionately riveted to the death rattles of Pelobama Care, some of America&#8217;s main business goes unattended.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Several months after being informed of General McChrystal requirements, two months after the general went public to force a response (thereby risking his career), the President has not said if he had made up his mind about what to do in Afghanistan. The argument that he was awaiting the results of the Afghan elections does not hold water anymore. No, Afghanistan is not Switzerland. Yes, it&#8217;s a pity there was so much cheating. But, there is no doubt that the winner was really the winner. The runner up Abdallah Abdallah never said otherwise, I think. In the UK, or in Germany, or in Italy,  the winner would have gone on to form a government, even without 50% plus one votes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">In the current issue of the Weekly Standard (Nov. 9 2009), Donnelly and Sullivan opine that the President is going to announce an option McChrystal “lite,” 20,000 additional troops instead of the 40,000 requested.  That falls short of everyone&#8217;s wish. There is mounting pressure from a segment of what is usually defined as the conservative side  to leave Afghanistan altogether.  Not all of the pressure proceeds from childish petulant desire to do to Obama what the Left did to Bush. Opposition emanating from  my Libertarians friends, led by the Independent Institute, is principled, coherent, based on moral convictions, and thoroughly blind, in my opinion. Fortunately, most libertarians (like me) are not Libertarians. Here is a summary of what&#8217;s at stake.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The people threatening to take over the Afghanistan are the same people who sheltered the 9/11 assassins. I am not making this up. They are not hiding it. They are the same Taliban movement that was reduced to next to nothing by the flash-quick combined NATO, Northern Alliance victory in 2001. That was the price they paid for refusing to turn over for trial the Al Quaida Arabs responsible for 9/11. By the way, the invasion of Taliban Afghanistan was authorized by the UN and still is. (I don&#8217;t care much myself about this fact. I mention this for those of you who are concerned about the fiction of international law.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">There are four additive reasons for Americans to want the Taliban defeated. They are  separate and perhaps of unequal importance but they point toward the same US policy. First, there is no reason to believe the Taliban leadership has learned any lesson from its removal from power. It sheltered the criminals who killed 3,000 American civilians even after they had no excuse to not know what happened. They hate </span><span style="font-size:medium;"><em>kuffar</em></span><span style="font-size:medium;">, infidels, and they care nothing about international principles of justice or of peace. There is no reason why they would stop any future attempt to plan one, two, three, four, five, six, or more 9/11, on us, or on our partners. The potential victims are not all in the West. Note that predominantly Muslim countries struggling to become or to remain democratic such as Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, and Turkey make especially attractive targets.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">I am not just imagining things. 9/11 was superbly planned, superbly executed and must have cost little more then $500,00. There are more 9//11 where it came from, given a place where the plotting can be relatively well sheltered from intrusion. Afghanistan remains a prime location for such activities because of its geographic inaccessibility and because of its very backwardness.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Let the Taliban take over again and hunch your shoulders! I am not referring only to unacceptable loss of life but to the economic devastation that would follow multiple attacks of the same type as 9/11.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The second reason Americans should want to defeat the Taliban is that newly democratic Pakistan has finally shaken itself out of its impotent torpor. Finally, it&#8217;s going with some vigor after its own home-grown violent jihadists, including some who call themselves “Taliban.” Nevertheless, there is little reason to doubt that the average Pakistani sees the military action as more of America&#8217;s fight than his own. It does not matter how deluded a view that is. It would not be the first time that the most likely victims of a crime are the most blind to it. After all, most German Jews seem to have made no attempt to flee Nazi Germany, even after seeing SA lowlife marched past them singing something like” “I smile when I see Jewish blood.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">It cannot be said enough that Pakistan possesses nuclear weapons. Even barring a full violent jihadist take-over, there is grave danger in any sort of political accommodation with jihadists, even of their physical proximity to the weapons. After all, how difficult would it be for a powerful Islamist politician to get two of his grand-nephews on the female side hired as night janitors in a nuclear arsenal? Hint: Pakistan is part of the Indian sub- continent where family pull matters. (Why the female line? Think it through.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">If the US is seen as faltering in Afghanistan, a large segment of Pakistani political opinion will ask itself why Pakistan should do what the vastly richer and more populous US is unwilling to commit to. A coalition government with Taliban or some other Islamist elements will be next. The dream of every two-bit violent jihadist, including American ones, to get his hands on dirty bomb material will come very close to being realized. A single dirty bomb exploding in a major American city would have the capacity to set back the world economy by many years through a chain reaction. The Islamist terrorists know this. They are insane, not stupid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The third reason to beat the Taliban is they they are a morally obscene group. When they were in power, they executed “adulterous” women during soccer game intermissions.  Guess what “adulterous” means under sharia ? They denied male-administered medical care to women in a country with no female doctors </span><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>and </strong></span><span style="font-size:medium;">they kept little girls from school. In the middle-run, the product would have been this demented thing: self-genocide through the dying off of many women. Today, in parts of the country they rule, they throw acid in little girls&#8217; faces to discourage them from going to school. Perhaps worse of all, the Taliban outlawed music. (That&#8217;s a good enough reason to kill them, in my book.) I am well aware of the serious arguments against the US acting as the world&#8217;s sheriff. (I don&#8217;t buy them but that&#8217;s another story.) Yet, once in a while, a country&#8217;s self-interest and common decency happen to coincide. This is one such opportunity. We should not waste it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The fourth reason is that the many potential and actual enemies of Americans are watching our every move. Every time President Obama demonstrates weakness, they take a step forward. The enemies include several terrorist groups, of course, Iran, North Korea, and Russia and China if they get a chance. Russia is just a hoodlum country that will grab what it can. The Chinese leadership probably does not want our destruction but it&#8217;s ill-informed and prone to miscalculation. If we falter on Afghanistan, they will reach out for a piece of us. Most of our vacillating NATO allies are the way they have been for a long time, as they were under the Soviet threat. They have no stomach for a fight unless we push and pull and, above all, set an example of bravery.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">(Note: I know I have not dealt with our casualties or with civilian casualties resulting from our actions. Both matter, obviously.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">In the meantime, my Libertarians  friends develop principled arguments against continued US and NATO military action to repel the Taliban that are all about propriety, and also about property. I have no doubt that war increases the importance of government, its dominion over civil society. As a libertarian (with a small “l), I hate it, of course. But a broad terrorist attack would increase the influence of government even faster, more deeply, and more irreversibly. I am not about to join the Libertarian Party because of its blindness regarding defense. The Libertarian arguments, I would buy if I were reasonably sure my house is not about to be set on fire. Moral principles are here to help people live good lives, in every sense of the word. They do not exist to excuse passivity. Passivity in the face of evil is the greatest evil of all.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">PS An Army psychiatrist, a major, murdered 12 people at Fort Hood, Texas, today. It seems he was having career trouble. All the same, I wish he did not have an Arab, Muslim name. It makes keeping things in perspective difficult.</span></p>

I AM STILL PUZZLED ABOUT WHY THE REAL ACHIEVEMENT OF PASSING THE BAR EXAM – WHICH CAN PRESUMABLY NOT BE EASED BY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION CONSIDERATIONS &#8211;  IS NOT MENTIONED ON THE PRESIDENT&#8217;S WIKIPEDIA ENTRY. MR OBAMA &#8216;S LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS IS SHORT AND THIN; THE BAR EXAM SHOULD BE THERE TO THICKEN IT. PERHAPS ONE OF THE PRESIDENT&#8217;S SUPPORTERS WILL DO THE JOB. I AM WATCHING.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Year 2008 &#8211; 09 marked deadliest year for allied forces led by USA which comprise of NATO, ISAF, Afghan National Army and Pakistan securing northern borders to prevent supply of arms to Mujahideen in Afghanistan. The psychological and physical damage inflicted by Lions of Islam to Kuffar and their apostate friends is briefly shown in video that follows below. Insha Allah, a glorious victory is just ahead.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Sheikh ibn Baaz in his Fatwa no. 1 of 274 said,</strong></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">&#8220;The scholars of Islam are unanimously agreed that whoever supports the kaafirs against the Muslims and helps them in any way is a kaafir like them as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&#8221;</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allaah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust)”</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">[al-Maa'idah 5:51].</span></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah in Al Saarim al Maslool fatwa no. 3 of 735 writes:</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>Muhaarabah (waging war against Islam) is of two types: physical and verbal. Waging war verbally against Islam may be worse than waging war physically – as stated above – hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to kill those who waged war against Islam verbally, whilst letting off some of those who waged war against Islam physically. This ruling is to be applied more strictly after the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Mischief may be caused by physical action or by words, but the damage caused by words is many times greater than that caused by physical action; and the goodness achieved by words in reforming may be many times greater than that achieved by physical action. It is proven that waging war against Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) verbally is worse and the efforts on earth to undermine religion by verbal means is more effective.</em></span></p>
<h1 style="text-align:right;">وَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ ۖ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ</h1>
<p><strong>And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah. [Aal-e-Imraan : 54 ]</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>This is how media works, can you trust news aired on Pakistani media? Well, think about it&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>See how an officer interrupts the journalist to cut certain portion of the interview but Alhamdulillah, truth surfaces itself sooner or later.</p>
<p>This is a strong message to delusional Pakistanis that they should think twice when this secular controlled media paints Mujahideen as Terrorists and Apostates and Munafiqun as Momineen, the stories of foreign agencies&#8217; support to Mujahideen are as fake as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq.</p>
<p>May Allah help Mujahideens fighting Kuffar and their friends and may Allah face munafiqun towards a humiliating defeat.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Terrorist There are a group of international terrorists active in the Maldives and the pose a seriou]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_147" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-147" title="471226051_824703ee56" src="http://maldivessharia.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/471226051_824703ee56.jpg" alt="471226051_824703ee56" width="500" height="350" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Terrorist</p></div>
<p>There are a group of international terrorists active in the Maldives and the pose a serious threat to the people of this country. This terrorist group is also training locals to do their dirty work for them as we speak. According to <a href="http://www.miadhu.com.mv/2009/10/local-news/mndf-ready-for-any-situation-faruhath/">Miadhu News</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>In addition to this, joint training programs were under way even now between <strong>USA and Maldives military</strong> in Laamu Kadhoo.</p></blockquote>
<p>These crusaders are responsible for the deaths of milions of Muslims around the world. They wage war on Islam and yet here they are in the Maldives at the invitation of the apostate government.</p>
<p>There is no doubt whatsoever that whoever allies with the kuffar who are fighting the Muslims are also themselves kuffar and this is the Islamic ruling on the government and the MNDF.</p>
<p>What is also not in doubt is that these Crusaders are at war with Islam and so we as Muslims are at war with them and it is an obligation for us to repel them and remove them from these lands by whatever means necessary. InsahAllah with the help of Allah we will achieve this sooner rather than later.</p>
