Our America [From our media monitor]
Bizarre Obama-Hillary Competition: Black Upper Class Sides 
with Hillary
[3 items only]
Support for Obama is reaching mass level. There is growing 
consternation in the Hillary camp. A "State of the Black 
Union" conference, with top Black elites in attendance, led 
by Tavis Smiley, held in New Orleans on February 23 clearly 
slanted towards Hillary Clinton. Earlier, Johnson, Black 
producer of BET was the first to attack Barack Obama though 
his own TV programs are morally repugnant beyond measure.
Till now, the corporate-Zionist media have NO criticism of 
Obama: 100% support, even from Fox!
Don't forget your Islam as Election Fever Grows:
Jamaat al-Muslimeen urges readers to remember that these are 
not Islamic responses:
1. Let me vote for her because she is a woman.
2. Let me vote for him because he is Black like me.
3. Let me vote for him because he is Arab, etc.
4. Let me vote for him/her because we'll get money for 
our school.
This system is going down. Let's help those who want to 
come out. Nothing is to be gained by becoming part of it.
Not much is going to change regardless of who gets elected. 
By staying out Muslims can be morally influential, not as 
supporters of any one group.
NO COVERAGE of the War in Iraq and Afghanistan
In coordinated and continuing censorship of the war, the 
media refuse to cover the war. The pictures of war would 
bring up all the frustration of the masses of Americans. 
The "surge" has obviously failed and fighting is continuing 
on a daily basis. Brief news of attacks on Shi'ites are 
reported in the news trailers below the TV screen but 
nothing about the occupation of Mosul by Shi'ite troops 
backed by the U.S.
Kite Runner Author's Hate Book Made him Rich: Also 
Involved in Darfur Propaganda
Khalid Hosseini, an Afghan Shi'ite living in California, made 
a huge sum of money on the sales of notorious book 
Kite Runner. Zionist outlets like the New York 
Times put his book on the best seller list. He made so 
much money that he is reported to have given up his job. He 
is involved in the Darfur-related "humanitarian" activity 
aimed at defaming Sudan.
The book of fiction, now a movie, depicts a Shia boy from the 
Afghan Hazara community as the victim of a Pashtun bully boy 
and sodomite who later joins the Islamic movement known as 
the Taliban. The Pashtun is a very nasty character and, as an 
extra twist to please the Zionist publicists of the book, he 
is shown as half-German and Nazi! It's all fiction and no 
attempt has been made to obtain the Taliban viewpoint.
[We urge Shi'ite leaders in the U.S., Qazwini, et al, to 
condemn Khalid Hosseini and his book otherwise this book 
will harm their claim that they want to be non-sectarian.]

February 26: Rally Against Rushdie: Meyerhoff Hall, 1212 
Cathedral Street, Baltimore: What does Islam Say?
By Kaukab Siddique
Would you protest pornographic abuse against your father or 
your mother? Here is what Islam says.
"The Prophet is more important for the believers than 
their own selves, and his wives are as their mothers." 
[The Qur'an 33:6]
Are insults against the Messenger, pbuh, and his family a 
minor matter or are they central to our Islamic response?
"Those who insult God and His Messenger will be rejected 
by God in this world and the next - He has prepared a 
humiliating punishment for them - and those who undeservedly 
insult believing men and women will bear the guilt of slander 
and obvious sin." [33:57. Translation by M. Abdel Haleem.]
[Dear Muslims, Rushdie insulted not only all believing women 
but the dearest of them all to the Prophet, pbuh, 'Ayesha 
Siddiqa, r.a.]
Are Muslims supposed to watch wrongdoing directly affecting 
their faith and just be patient and keep praying? No, they 
have an obligation to speak out as commanded by 
Allah Almighty:
"The believers, men and women, are each others protecting 
friends and guardians: They command what is just and they 
forbid what is evil..." [9:71]
In fact, speaking out for Haqq and against evil is 
placed above faith itself as a sign of faith:
"You are the best of peoples, sent forth for mankind, 
commanding what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and 
believing in Allah ..." [3:110]
Are Muslims justified in thinking that let Jamaat 
al-Muslimeen go rally and we don't have to do it? No dear 
Muslims, individual responsibility is the norm in Islam:
" Each one of you is a ruler and each one of you is 
responsible for those you rule..." [Prophet Muhammad, 
pbuh, Hadith narrated by Ibn Umar, r.a., and published in 
Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.]
Islam accepts only three levels of behavior when confronted 
with evil. Below that is kufr and hell fire:
"One who sees wrongdoing should remove it physically: if 
one lacks strength for that, then speak out against it, and 
if one lacks even that strength, then consider it wrong in 
your heart, and that is the lowest level of faith." 
[Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, Hadith narrated by Abu Sayeed 
al-Khudri, r.a. and published in Sahih Muslim 
and others.]
We are at the second level of Islam: So let us speak out. 
Come forth and speak out. There is no excuse when you can 
and don't!
Finally, the test of LOVE. If we don't love the Prophet, 
pbuh, above ourselves, faith is sterile and merely academic:
"The messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be 
on him, said: none of you can be a true believer until you 
love me more than you love your own father, your son and all 
mankind." [Narrated by Unas ibn Malik. Hadith published 
in Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari.]
Outreach: Mobilizing Muslim Opinion Against Rushdie and 
NPR-Villa-Julie-Meyerhoff Hate Campaign
February 22, 2008: At the Islamic Society of Baltimore (ISB, 
also known as Masjid Rahma) a flyer about the February 26 
rally urging Muslims to protest the honors being awarded to 
Islam-hater Rushdie was given to 215 people. Most of the 
response was lukewarm. The clique in charge of the masjid 
refused to announce the rally. Instead they had a juma' 
khateeb repeatedly calling on people to join ISNA-CAIR, 
which anti-Islam groups working closely with the FBI, the 
Pentagon and the White House. Some of the recipients of the 
rally flyer responded positively but these were about 10% 
of the 215.
By contrast, at a small masjid located 5 miles away from ISB, 
flyers were given to only 25 people; the response was 
entirely positive. The people here were outraged that a dirty 
hater like Rushdie would be invited and honored.
At another small masjid about 4 miles from ISB, the imam 
himself announced the rally, reaching about 75 people.
A number of sincere Muslim groups have broken away from ISB 
and have set up independent masjids. A report says that some 
time back, the imam of ISB resigned and set up an Islamic 
teaching center up the street from Rahma. We have heard that 
he tried to get ISB to see the Sunnah ruling on the crescent 
sighting requirements for Ramadan and Eid, but ISB adamantly 
[and blindly] followed the governmental-agent organization 
known as ISNA. [Those who know more about this are welcome 
to let us know in confidence.]
We urge the President of ISB to write and let us know how 
much the ISB gets from the government.
Jewish Hand Behind the War
'We Are In War Against Radical Islam,' 
Says Kissinger
Henry Kissinger (interview )
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,535964,00.html
... I don't like the term "war on terror" because terror is a 
method, not a political movement. We are in a war against 
radical Islam that is trying to overthrow the moderate 
elements in the Islamic world and which is fundamentally 
challenging the secular structures of Western societies. All 
this is happening at a difficult period in European history 
... I do believe that George W. Bush has correctly understood 
the global challenge we are facing, the threat of radical 
Islam, and that he has fought that battle with great 
fortitude. He will be appreciated for that later.
Denmark's Blasphemous Attack on Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, 
Condemned in hundreds of Rallies Across Pakistan
From February 22 to 25, Pakistanis in numerous cities and 
villages came out in good numbers to condemn the latest hate 
campaign by international Zionism coming out of Denmark's 
puppet media. The biggest rally organized by Jamaat-e-Islami, 
Feb. 24, was on Karachi's New M.A. Jinnah road. The crowd 
roared condemnation of Denmark as Muhammad Hussain Mehnati, 
JI Ameer for Karachi, joined numerous other speakers to call 
for end of diplomatic relations with Denmark. Thousands of 
young men and women students from JI and Insaf chanted and 
waved banners declaring their readiness to sacrifice 
themselves for the honor of the Prophet, pbuh.
On February 25, the entire spectrum of CHRISTIAN Pakistani 
church leaders joined Jamaat-e-Islami leaders at a 
Convention in Karachi to condemn the Danish cartoons. 
The leaders agreed that attacks on the Prophets of God, be it 
Moses, Jesus or Muhammad [peace be on them] must be condemned 
by people of all faiths. The Danish propagandists should 
realize that their attacks will not be accepted in silence, 
the leaders said.
In ISLAMABAD, February 22, the Red Mosque [Lal Masjid] 
saw a resurgence of activism in response to the Danish 
and European attacks on Islam. Maulana Abdul Ghaffar, the new 
khateeb of the Red Mosque, carried out a stinging analysis of 
the Danish attack and demanded that Pakistan cut relations 
with the Zionist surrogate. At one point, police rushed into 
the mosque to stop the collection of funds for the rebuilding 
of Jamia Hafsa [Women's University] demolished by Musharraf. 
The crowd countered the police and threw the policemen out of 
the masjid.
Hundreds of young women in burqa sat on the ruins of 
Jamia Hafsa and wept in memory of the female martyrs 
who stood up to Musharraf's commandos. Gradually the truth 
about what Musharraf's men did to the Red Mosque and Jamia 
Hafsa is seeping into the Pakistani conscience. Support for 
the Red Mosque movement and remembrance for shaheed Abdul 
Rashid Ghazi is spreading in various areas of Pakistan.
The best khutba against the insults aimed at Prophet 
Muhammad, pbuh, came out of Lahore at a huge Friday prayer 
gathering in center city. Here is the summary, thanks to 
Abdullah Muntazir.
Cartoons an expression of Western frustration - 
Hafiz Saeed
February 22, 2008/14th Safar, 1429
Ameer, Jama't-ud-Da'wah Pakistan, Prof. Hafiz Muhammad 
Saeed, has said the re-publishing of cartoons by the enemies 
of Islam and Muslims is merely a clumsy and vulgar expression 
of the frustration of the West at the rapid spread of Islam 
throughout the Western world. He urged Muslim rulers to end 
their servile attitudes towards the enemies of Islam and 
Muslims and to fulfill their duty for the protection of the 
Prophet's, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's, honor. He 
said the people of Pakistan had voted against the U.S. and 
its allies in the recent elections, and they have made it 
clear that they will never accept any policies which are 
against Islam.
In his sermon during Friday Prayers at Jamia Masjid 
al-Qadsia, Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said Islam is spreading 
rapidly in Denmark and adjoining countries. He said the 
Western media, itself, maintains that if the present rate of 
conversion to Islam continues in the West, then Muslims will 
become a huge political force within a few years. It is 
precisely because of this frustration and exasperation, and 
an expression of their vulnerability, that they keep 
publishing the derogatory cartoons again and again. They want 
to make Muslims feel helpless, he said, yet Allah, subhana 
Hu wa Ta'ala, wants to rekindle the flame of pride and 
prestige among Muslims, and proof of this is manifest in the 
fact that interest in the Quraan and the life of the Prophet, 
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is growing day by day.
Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said Jama't-ud-Da'wah will 
continue with its program of uniting Muslims and creating 
awareness among them through the platform of its 'Movement 
for the Protection of the Prophet's sallallahu alaihi wa 
sallam's Honor', so that the obligation of awakening the 
Muslim Ummah can be fulfilled. He said conditions are 
changing rapidly. The enemies of Islam and Muslims want to 
wipe out Islam and jihad from the world, yet the Muslim Ummah 
is becoming ever stronger because of the sacrifices being 
offered by Muslims in various parts of the world. People are 
leaving Western culture and civilization and turning towards 
Islam in the very heart of Europe, he said. Kosovo's 
independence was announced as a measure to check the ever 
increasing trend by Muslims of offering sacrifices, he 
said, yet all their schemes will eventually fail, and the of 
sacrifices and martyrdom of Muslims will, in'sha'Allah, 
ultimately result in the establishment of the Khilafah.
America's dream of the New World Order, Hafiz Saeed said, is 
about to be shattered just like Russia's dream of global 
hegemony was smashed. The call of the Quraan and 
Sunnah is reaching every household, yet unfortunately, 
he said, some self-proclaimed scholars are misleading people 
by misinterpreting the fundamental Islamic obligation of 
jihad. He urged Muslim scholars to work to unite the Muslim 
Ummah, instead of trying to strengthen their own 
particular sects.

Pakistan: Life of a Prisoner in Guantanamo is At Risk: 
Plea for Saifullah Paracha
ASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION –
Urgent Appeal Case: AHRC-UAC-031- 2008
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received 
information regarding the deteriorating health of a Pakistani 
prisoner detained in a U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. 
The prisoner is suffering from a serious heart ailment and 
his health has worsened since he was first imprisoned there 
in September 2004. The government of Pakistan has not 
intervened to ensure he is afforded with adequate medical 
attention. He has been charged for alleged involvement in the 
September 11 attack but has since not been tried nor produced 
in court. The prison's medical facilities are inadequate and 
his request for treatment outside the prison has been denied.
CASE DETAILS:
Sixty-year-old Saifullah Paracha was a businessman and a 
prominent social worker in Karachi City, Sindh province. He 
was first reported to have disappeared on 6 July 2003 in 
Bangkok, Thailand while on a business trip, but his 
relatives found out later through the International 
Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Islamabad that he had 
been arrested and subsequently detained in Bagram Airbase in 
Afghanistan on charges of terrorism. He was accused in 
having been involved in the September 11 attack. He was kept 
incommunicado there for over a year.
It was on 23 August 2003 that Saifullah's family learned of 
his detention from the ICRC in Islamabad. However, his family 
was unable to communicate with him while he was detained 
there. One year later, in September 2004, Saifullah's family 
was once again informed by a person from the ICRC that he had 
been transferred to Camp-5, a maximum security U.S. military 
prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
It is reported that each cell is approximately measured 6 
feet wide and 8 feet high. The lights are switched on 24 
hours a day and the prisoners are allowed out of their cells 
only two hours in a day. The prison guards periodically 
change the temperature of the cells from extreme cold to 
extreme heat. For a week they turn up the air conditioning 
system to maximum freezing the prisoners who are given only 
a thin cotton sheet at night. This is then taken away the 
following morning. Then the following week the guards turn 
off the air conditioning system and raise the temperature to 
a stifling 35 degrees Celsius.
The only communication his wife, Farhat, has had was through 
his lawyer. She also sometimes receives electronic mail from 
some human rights organizations. Though she can receive 
replies from Saifullah to her letters, it can take four to 
five months. Also, the manner in which the letters are 
written she described as "short, hurried scribbling" and 
written at the back of the International Committee of the 
Red Cross (ICRC) documents.
Since Saifullah's detention there, he has experienced severe 
chest pains and shortness of breath on several occasions but 
has never been taken to a hospital facility for treatment. He 
had been diagnosed to have suffered a chronic heart disease 
prior to his arrest. Some of his relatives also had a similar 
history and died of such ailment. Thus, the denial by the 
prison authorities to have him treated in hospital and 
medical facilities outside the prison poses a serious risk to 
his life.
Saifullah is suspected of having links with al-Qaeda. 
According to his lawyer Mr. Zachary Katznelson, senior 
counsel of Reprieve, an organization based in UK working for 
prisoners in death row, the charges against him were 
reportedly over his alleged involvement in a plan to smuggle 
explosives into the U.S. for al-Qaeda. He was also alleged to 
have spoken to al-Qaeda's Osama Bin Laden. Farhat said her 
husband has never denied the fact that her husband had met 
Bin Laden sometime in 1999 but she denied the charges against 
him. In fact, Saifullah use to brag that he had met Osama and 
was somehow taken in by his soft-spoken voice. He said he had 
wanted to interview Osama to give his version for his private 
production house in Karachi City.
The serious concern over his deteriorating health and 
continued deprivation of adequate medical treatment was due 
to a number of deaths of prisoners detained there. 
Reprieve has reported that five prisoners have already 
died due to illness and disease in Guantanamo prison. They 
were not afforded adequate medical attention.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Prior to his arrest, Saifullah Paracha ran a business of 
exporting garments, construction of private buildings and a 
private production house for radio and television channels.
Towards the end of 2002, Mr. Majid Khan, a person who 
allegedly had links with Al-Qaida, booked an apartment, which 
Saifullah owned. The said apartment project was then 
incomplete when purchased by Saifullah which he named as the 
Cliftonia at Clifton beach in Karachi City after having it 
renovated for his business of selling the apartments. 
However, at the time, neither Saifullah nor the Pakistani 
authorities knew of Majid's identity.
Saifullah's 25-year-old son, Uzair, who joined his father's 
business after completing his Masters Degree in Business 
Administration, was also present when the booking was made. 
When Mr. Majid came to know that Uzair was then on a 
scheduled trip to the U.S. for study he had requested him to 
check the status of his citizenship at the U.S. Immigration 
office in Manhattan. Majid had claimed he was concerned over 
his U.S. citizenship after having been outside the country 
for many years. Uzair nevertheless promised to do so.
Sometime in March 2003, after Uzair arrived in the 
U.S. he went to the immigration to inquire into the status of 
Majid's citizenship. Unknown to Uzair, at the time Majid was 
already wanted by the U.S. government in connection with the 
September 11 attack. Soon after, Uzair was himself arrested 
on 23 March 2003 over charges that he had links with 
Al-Qaida. He was reportedly not provided any lawyer for 
his defense when he was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment 
in 2005.
Please write letters to the concerned authorities in Pakistan 
and elsewhere for them to intervene to ensure that Saifullah 
Paracha is given adequate medical attention he requires 
promptly. To deny any assurance that their citizens' welfare 
are looked into in foreign prisons threatens the life of 
this prisoner.
They must also ensure that Saifullah and other Pakistani 
nationals continuously detained in Guantanamo prison are 
afforded ordinary criminal procedure.
The AHRC is writing separate letters to the UN Special 
Rapportuer on the Question of Torture and Working Group on 
arbitrary detention calling for their immediate intervention 
in this matter.
SAMPLE LETTER:
Dear __________,
PAKISTAN: Life of a prisoner in Guantanamo is at risk
Name of the prisoner: Mr. Saifullah Paracha, a 
Pakistani national
Place of detention: At Camp 5, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
Period of detention: From September 2004 to present
Status of his condition: Saifullah had been suffering from 
heart ailment and his condition while in detention has since 
worsened. He has never been taken to any hospital or medical 
facilities for treatment and was denied of his request for 
medication outside the prison.
I am writing to draw your attention to the plight of Mr. 
Saifullah Paracha, a Pakistani national presently detained 
in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. After his arrest in 6 July 2006 in 
Bangkok, Thailand, he had been detained there soon after his 
transfer from Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan in September 
2004. Mr. Saifullah had been detained reportedly over charges 
of having been involved in the September 11 attack in 
the U.S.
Since his detention in Guantanamo prison, I have learned that 
his medical condition had worsened. He had been experiencing 
difficulty in breathing and had severe chest pains several 
times in a week. Though the prison authorities are aware of 
this, they fail to afford him adequate medical attention, 
particularly of admitting him into hospital or medical 
facility outside the prison with sufficient medical service.
I have learned that although there are medical facilities 
inside the prison, these were reportedly not sufficient 
prompting Saifullah's refusal to have him treated there. His 
request to be admitted and treated outside the prison was 
also denied. His condition as a result deteriorates posing 
serious risk to his life. To deny this person adequate 
treatment he requires and the failure of the Government of 
Pakistan to ensure the welfare of its citizens is 
unacceptable. I urge you to take whatever intervention is 
necessary to look into the welfare of this prisoner and other 
Pakistani nationals reportedly detained there.
As a Pakistani national, the government of Pakistan has 
responsibility to ensure that welfare of their citizens 
detained in foreign lands is looked into. It should also take 
action into reports that Saifullah has not been taken for 
trial nor produced in court for the charges laid on him. He 
was detained in Afghanistan for over a year and was later in 
Guantanamo since his arrest.
However, I have learned that Saifullah has not been subjected 
to a normal criminal procedure. To deny this prisoner, as 
well as other prisoners detained there of equal protection 
to law, is tantamount to the denial of their fundamental 
rights envisage in the international laws. The continued 
deprivation of this prisoner's right to obtain adequate 
medication is a violation of the basic and minimum standards 
on treatment of prisoners under the international law. It is 
the utmost responsibility of the Government of Pakistan to 
protect its citizens.
I trust that you will take adequate action in this case.
Yours sincerely,

"Authorized" Murder of Muslim in Prison: Accused of 
Killing Drug Dealers
by Aisha Shaheed, Jamaat al-Muslimeen Manhattan, New York
New York - On February 21, 2008, Hakim Adam (aka Larry Davis) 
was murdered in prison by inmate Luis Rosado, 42. He was 
enjoying time in a recreation area that was reserved for him 
from 7pm to 10pm when the attack occurred. Hakim was 
currently serving a 25 year sentence for weapons possession 
and killing a drug dealer. Hakim was eligible for parole in 
2016. Here is where his folklore begins:
On Nov. 19, 1986, six Bronx, NY police officers had gone to 
Hakim's (then Larry Davis) sister's house to arrest him on 
"charges" of murdering six drug dealers. Hakim escaped and 
there was a nationwide manhunt, which ended 17 days later 
with a 14-hour standoff with police.
While being tried for the murders of six drug dealers and 
shooting at those six police officers, it was discovered that 
those very same officers sent to arrest him were actually 
sent there to kill him. Why? Because he was selling drugs for 
them and he wanted out! He was acquitted of the more serious 
murder charges. His defense attorneys were able to convince 
the jury that those murder charges were trumped up by the 
police department.
He was tried and re-tried for the murders of those drug 
dealers until they found a jury that would convict him in 
1991. Many in the black community were outraged because the 
corruption of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) was 
exposed during the trial and no cop involved in Hakim David's 
arrest had clean hands.
It was revealed that a novel and a movie about Hakim Adam's 
life was in the works and he was very excited about it. Now 
he is dead. Murdered by another inmate. Once he converted 
to Islam no one who wanted to do him harm in prison could get 
near him. The Muslim brothers protected him. So how could 
an inmate with such a murderous criminal history, in prison 
and on the outside, get that close enough to kill him. Why 
wasn't he in 23-hour lock down? The son of a prominent 
civil rights family revealed that the Muslim inmates were 
put in lock down and therefore, kept away from Hakim Adam 
during the time of his murder.
Luis Rosado, an inmate serving 25 years to life for murder, 
stabbed Hakim Adam multiple times in his head, torso, and 
leg, which is where his major artery had been severed. Oddly 
enough, there is no history of any contact between the two 
of them. It is not surprising that guards would use a Latino 
(Mexican) to commit such an act of violence against an 
African-American.
The kuffar haven't any respect for life. Here are some 
quotes from people associated with Hakim David's capture and 
eventual imprisonment:
Mayor Edward I. Koch (Zionist former New York City Mayor): "I 
believe that nobody should take joy in the murder of another 
individual, but if I told you I was weeping I would be lying. 
He was a vicious person, and if there's any justice anywhere 
he's rotting in hell."
Retired NYPD Lieutenant Vernon Gerbeth: "Justice has finally 
prevailed. The prison system did what the criminal justice 
system could not."
There is a serious schism between Black Americans and 
Mexicans, in particular, but with Latinos. It is very evident 
in California. White supremacy has permeated all four corners 
of the Earth and there are many people of African-descent who 
do not want to acknowledge that part of their family history. 
In fact, many Latinos claim to be white once they come to 
America. In Latin America, the division between light-skinned 
and dark-skinned people is very obvious and can have serious 
repercussions among families!
Had it been a so-called white Aryan inmate committing this 
crime, it would have been seen as racially-motivated and as 
an obvious set up by the corrections officers. If a Latino 
does it, that further creates a divide between 
African-Americans and Latinos. The agenda is to keep the 
American power structure in the hands of whites by dividing 
and conquering people of African-descent.
After his 1991 conviction and arrival to prison, Hakim Adam 
was severely beaten by corrections officers and was paralyzed 
from the waist down. He was in a wheelchair. He also had a 
broken arm at the time of his murder and could not adequately 
defend himself. There are many unanswered questions 
surrounding his death and it is my strong belief that Allah 
will expose the officials involved in this gross miscarriage 
of justice.
