Darfur Campaign is Part of Bush-Zionist Agenda
On April 27, 2006 Br. Hodari Abdul Ali, well-known 
peace activist for reconciliation in Sudan, as host 
of a segment on Radio Pacifica, in Washington, DC, 
talked to Dr. Kaukab Siddique about Darfur and the 
march being organized on April 30 by special lobbies.
The radio program at 7.35 AM reaches motorists in the 
DC area during rush hour.
Dr. Siddique made the following points:
1. Sudan could become another Iraq if first the 
UN and then the U.S. intervene there on the excuse 
of helping the people of Darfur.
2. Wild allegations of "genocide" and "rape" have 
been spread by the corporate media without ANY 
verifiable evidence.
[Br. Hodari added that the African Union and the 
Arab League do not subscribe to these allegations.]
3. Those who spread these stories about Darfur do 
not know the language and usually go to meet alleged 
victims through rebel groups which have a vested 
interest in spreading these allegations.
4. The area of conflict is huge and no investigation 
of any significance has been carried out which would 
justify the atrocity stories.
5. The most essential point is: Who armed the rebels 
and pitted them against the government of Sudan? 
Evidently, any conflict will damage the fragile economy 
of Darfur. Transfer of modern weaponry to the area 
should be investigated.
6. A serious move is underway to mislead the 
American people and to prepare the grounds for 
the destruction of Sudan,a great African nation.
Reaching out to the Muslim Community: 
Support Imam Jamil, Boycott Israel-funding businesses
On April 28, cards were distributed to the Juma' 
[Friday prayer] congregation at a newly established 
Masjid in Downtown Baltimore. A large card about 
Imam Jami al-Amin was given to 50 people. In addition 
a card about Boycott of businesses which support 
Israel was given to 43 people. Thus a total of 93 
people of a variety of nationalities was reached, 
about 25% of them African-American.
The card about Imam Jamil briefly describes the 
charges on which he was convicted, analyzes the 
weakness of the charges and indicates how readers 
can help the committees supporting Imam Jamil.
Are you aware that the products you buy can help 
in the Israeli repression of the Palestinian people? 
Reach out to Muslim communities and help them understand. 
You will be surprised to know how ISNA-ICNA-CAIR
[who all three recognize Israel] have kept their audiences 
ignorant of the facts of life.
Race: the Issue in Duke University Rape Allegation Case
The information that is being published (via news 
reports) is puzzling, at best.
It has been reported that no DNA, and no evidence of 
sexual assault has been found on the victim, in spite 
of the fact that she has accused three men of 
sexually assaulting her.
I really wonder if the same results would have been 
found had the victim been white, and the 
accused been black??
I really do hate using the "race card".  In fact, I 
often talk to my children about not falling back on 
that "card".  But, the whole thing seems quite strange.  
One cannot help wondering.....
I saw a televised "interview" with a witness for the 
plaintiff.  She - in not so many words - implied that 
the victim had been drugged.
The information that is being made available is "sketchy".

Should we Welcome U.S. Sponsored Iraqis
Destruction of Islamic Art—Another Aspect of the Iraq War
By Nadrat Siddique
Recently, a friend of mine, who works at the Walters Art Gallery in 
Baltimore, and is both an art afficionado and a friend of the Iraqi 
people (she is very anti-war) sent me the following:
"AAM/IPAM Iraq Program: Terry Weisser gave an update about the Walters' 
plans to participate in the AAM International Partnership Among Museums 
(IPAM) Iraq program. Two museum professionals from the Iraq National 
Museum system in Baghdad will arrive at the Walters at the end of April 
for an intensive 4-week training and mentoring program in our conservation 
lab. A translator will be provided. Other participating museums include: 
The Field Museum in Chicago, the California Science Center and Japanese 
American National Museum in Los Angeles, the Chicago  Historical Society, 
and the National Gallery of Art in Washington."
This is what I wrote to her:
On a personal level, the Iraqi government representatives coming over for 
training with the Walters are probably good people. The mothers of Iraqi 
torture victims and Iraqi dead planned to come to the U.S. for the Women's 
Day solidarity action, but the U.S. government denied visas to many of 
them, so that their stories might not be told. So, it is important to 
realize that the folks coming over for training at the Walters would not 
be given U.S. visas if they were not okay with the U.S. occupying force.
Imam Abu Hanifa's mosque (one of the oldest in Islam) was 
attacked by U.S. artillery. The personal Qur'an of the Caliph Ali 
(RA) was destroyed allegedly in an area of Iraq occupied by 
British-U.S. forces. Keep in mind that Ali (RA) was a 
contemporary of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), making his Qur'an 
nearly 1400 years old. More than a dozen mosques--some of them 
very old--were leveled, during the destruction of Fallujah. 
Since Iraq was a center for Islamic learning, numerous centuries 
old Qur'ans (roughly 500 - 1100 years old), similar to those in 
the Freer and Sackler Galleries, were destroyed by occupying 
troops. The occupation and destruction has not ceased, and 
although these actions may not be directly attributable to 
the Iraqi government representatives who will be visiting 
the Walters, you might understand why such a visit at this 
time might be construed as hypocrisy. There is great angst 
not just amongst Iraqis, but also in the Muslim community at 
large about the destruction of ancient Islamic sites as a 
result of this war.
So, it is the height of cynicism that U.S. 
authorities--which allowed the Bagdad Museum 
to be looted, and who are clearly implicated 
in the destruction of Islamic antiquities--are 
now feigning interest (through their proxy government) 
in "conservation" of artifacts.

Islam Through Quotations
by Dr. Kamal Eldin Hassan
Dr. Hassan was born in 1921 in Cairo, Egypt to 
Hassan Youssef, a Civil Engineer reponsible for 
building many of the country's barrages and dams, 
and his wife Amina Amin.
Following in his father's footsteps, he studied 
Mechanical Engineering, receiving hs PhD in 1955 
from the Illinois Institute of Technology.
He returned to Egypt, and joined the Faculty of 
Engineering at Cairo University where he became 
the Chair Professor of Thermal Power Stations.  
During his career, he enjoyed interacting with his 
students, mentoring and guiding them through their 
Masters and Doctorate programs.  He also authored 
many scientific papers and books.  In recognition 
of his contributions, he received the Egyptian State 
Award for Science in 1975.
In 2003, he presented much of his technical library 
(over 1400 books) to the newly established 
Library of Alexandria, Egypt.
He frequently returned to the United States as a 
Visiting Professor at Tulane University, and The 
Georgia Institute of Technology.  He also spent a 
year at New Mexico State University as a Senior 
Foreign Scientist with the National Science Foundation.
Believing that Islam's message is of peace and co-existence, 
he helped found the Islamic Society of Atlanta in 1973, and 
was elected its first president.  He wanted to bridge the 
gap between Muslims and non-Muslims, especially in the 
non-Muslim countries.
Dr. Hassan understood Islam as a way of life that focuses 
on the freedom of choice, not as dogmas and rituals.  
This is the message he wanted to convey to his American 
born and raised grandchildren.  So for over 20 years, 
he taught them that in his deeds, and he dedicated this 
book to them and to people like them.
This book is available visit spencer-majeed.com, 
airleaf.com, bn.com, bamm.com and order starting 
Monday, May 1, 2006, insh'Allah.
Pass on to all you know.
New Trend Special in Two Parts Below:
Lodi, Sacramento, California
"Muslim" Informer was Key to Conviction of 
Pakistani Hamid Hayat in Absurd Case.
Muslim Communities are Riddled with Government 
Agents who Claim to be Muslims
Part I.
How could a jury be convinced that a working class 
Pakistani, Hamid Hayat,  living in California was 
preparing to attack "hospitals, banks and grocery 
stores?" The government had a "confession" by him on 
tape. He is said to have attended an Al-Qaida camp in Pakistan!
Hamid is facing 39 years in prison.
The weakness of the case becomes apparent when we 
notice that Hamid's father, Umer Hayat, could not 
be convicted because the jury trying him was deadlocked. 
Earlier two Islamic scholars said to have influenced 
Hamed were deported to Pakistan on immigration charges 
and could not be convicted.
The absurdity comes out when we ask: Is there an 
Al-Qaida camp in Pakistan? If there were one, and 
an ordinary person like Hamid could know about it, 
by now General Musharraf would have bombed it, or 
Musharraf would have been removed by order of President Bush. 
The AP report on the conviction indicates that the 
"confession" of Hamid was obtained under duress after 
"hours of questioning in the middle of the night." 
In such a situation, which can amount to psychological 
torture, the victim usually says what the 
interrogators want to hear.
BEHIND this horrible injustice lurks the figure of 
a "Muslim" informer. His name is Naseem Khan, 
32 year old who was "recruited" by the FBI. According 
to news reports, his activities led to an investigation 
of the ENTIRE 2500-member Pakistani community in the Lodi 
area and the deportation of the two Islamic scholars and 
the son of one of them.
The INFORMANT was so clever that the Hayats considered 
him "a member of the family." When Hamid visited 
Pakistan in 2003, Naseem Khan kept talking to him on 
the phone and recorded the calls. He urged Hamid to 
attend a Jihad camp. Hamid's weakness was that he liked 
to talk and boast about his Islamic sentiments. He was 
easy prey for Naseem Khan.
Jamaat al-Muslimeen urges the government to release 
Hamid and his father Umer. No one can believe that 
they are al-Qaida operatives. These absurdities are 
nothing more than injustice and part of the Zionist 
agenda to prove that Muslims in America are 
connected to terrorists.
Part II.
THE INFORMANT, the INFILTRATOR: Muslim Communities 
are Being Hurt by Siraj Wahhaj Types.
As if Naseem Khan was not enough to entrap Hamid Hayat 
and terrorize the entire Lodi community, now we have 
Osama Eldawoody, an Egyptian in Brooklyn. A Pakistani 
named Shahawar Matin Siraj, 23 , was entrapped by 
Eldawoody when the informant infiltrated a 
mosque in Brooklyn.
Matin Siraj was arrested on August 27, 2004, kept 
in prison for ONE YEAR and 8 MONTHs and finally 
brought to trial on April 25, 2006. Guess what's the 
evidence against him? He "drew diagrams of the subway 
station" which the government says he wanted to attack.  
At the same time New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly 
admits that Matin Siraj had "never obtained explosives 
and had not been linked to known terrorist groups."
So why is he in prison? That's where the informant 
comes in. He found out that the Pakistani immigrant 
was "angered by the war in Iraq and the Abu Ghraib 
prison scandal." The informant was able to get the 
innocent young man to express his anger so that it 
could be construed as a prelude to terrorism.
This PLAGUE of INFORMANTS and religious-looking 
infiltrators getting Muslims into prison was signalled 
years back by the activities of SIRAJ WAHHAJ, 
a prominent leader of the pro-government Muslim group 
of bootlickers known as ISNA [branching out into CAIR]. 
Also very popular with ICNA, Siraj Wahhaj successfully 
infiltrated the Muslim community and helped to put 
one of the greatest Islamic leaders of our time, 
Shaikh Omar 'Abdel Rahman, in prison. Siraj Wahhaj 
was invited as a defense witness in the case of Dr. Omar 
[the blind Shaikh] but helped the government by claiming 
that the great Shaikh legitimized bank robberies!
Later in an interview with the Zionist WALL STREET JOURNAL 
Siraj Wahhaj continued his backbiting and slander against 
the Shaikh.  What kind of a Muslim is Siraj Wahhaj? In his 
own words, he is proud of his friendship with Medeleine 
Albright, mass murderer of HALF-a-MILLION Iraqi children 
through sanctions and embargo. This is what Siraj told the WSJ:
"I had dinner with Secretary of State Albright after the 
list of unundicted conpirators was circulated."
[Wall Street Journal, October 24, 2003.]
In the same interview, he continued to slander 
Shaikh Omar. His words: "Shaikh suggested that Muslims 
should rob banks to benefit Islam."
The blind Shaikh, servant of Allah, Hafiz of Qur'an, 
expert in Sahih Bukhari, teacher of Fiqh, Ph.D from 
Al-Azhar, is in prison, in a little cell in Missouri, 
cut off from friends, family, all sympathetic human 
contact, buried alive. In the meantime, Siraj Wahhaj 
struts around ISNA masjids claiming to be an Islamic 
leader and urging Muslims to be aware of the Hereafter!
After Siraj Wahhaj, the case of Abdur Rahman 
al-Amoudi, another stalwart of ISNA-ICNA 
Conventions, came to light. He had his own 
organization, AMC, which justified and legitimized 
that Shaikh Omar 'Abdel Rahman should be tried by 
a Jewish judge linked to Israel! When 
Al-Amoudi went to prison owing to an internal 
struggle, seemingly, among intelligence agencies, 
he WROTE to the WASHINGTON POST that he was a loyal 
servant of the government and had been using funds, 
freely, to shut the mouths of Muslim critics 
of the government.
Dear Muslims of America
It is time to clean house. Islam in America should 
be based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Muhammad, 
pbuh.   Here are a few suggestions.
Only authentic Muslims with transparent sources of 
income should be the leaders of Muslims. We do have 
real leaders like Imam Jamil, Imam Warith Deen Umar, 
Imam Musa and others. Give them your support.
We must ask the ISNA-ICNA-CAIR operatives:
1. Do you accept the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Muhammad, pbuh?
2. If so, reveal your source of income? Where does your 
money come from and how much is it?
3. When are you going to condemn the U.S. bombing 
of Afghanistan and Iraq?
4. When are you going to condemn the U.S. bombing 
of Pakistani villages?
5. When are you going to condemn the atrocities of 
General Musharraf, Hosni Mubarak, Abdullah of Jordan 
and Abdullah of "Saudi" Arabia? Are you in favor of 
these dictators? If not, go ahead and condemn their regimes.
6. When are you going to come out in PUBLIC SUPPORT of 
Imam Jamil, Imam Warith Deen Umar and Imam Musa? Why 
are you silent about them?
7. Do you recognize ISRAEL? If not, then come out and say it.
8. If you can't do any of these, on what basis can you 
use the term "Islamic" for your organizations? Would it 
not be more honest to use the term "Collectors of 
Charitable funds and Organizers of Social Get-togethers 
Hilton-style" [CCFOSGH] for your cliques?
