Imam Badi Ali condemns attempt to put Sudan's President 
Bashir on trial. Muslim world must stand with 
Sudanese president.
July 14: Jamaat al-Muslimeen leader Imam Badi Ali [North 
Carolina] urged Muslims to realize that America is playing 
god by manipulating the UN and the prosecutor of the world 
court to accuse the President of Sudan. This move is a 
continuation of the method which was used against President 
Saddam Hussain.
Imam Ali said that Bush, Blair, Olmert and their 
allies should be put on trial for genocide in Palestine, 
Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. They have no right to sit in 
judgment on Sudan when they themselves have committed the 
worst crimes of our era.
Imam Ali urged Muslims to look critically at the UN Security 
Council. It denies proper representation to the African and 
Muslim nations and supports the aggressors who have 
veto power.
Let's not make the mistake many Muslims made about Saddam. We 
must stand UNITED with Sudan and oppose all aggression and 
intervention in Sudan.

Thinking outside the box:
Most Muslims do not Know that Muhammad, pbuh, 
originated the basic idea of modern medicine that there is a 
cure for every disease.
Narrated Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, the 
Prophet ( may peace be upon him ) said: "There is no 
disease that Allah has sent down, except that He also has 
sent down its treatment."

Our America: by New Trend's Media Monitor
Cynthia McKinney is a Genuine Candidate 
[Nominee of the Green Party]
[Excerpted from an article by Glen Ford]
McKinney speaks as both a former U.S. Representative and a 
movement activist, one of the architects of the 
Reconstruction Party's Power to the People Platform, 
which declares:
"We need an end to all wars and occupations by U.S. forces, 
including in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need an immediate 
cessation of funding for war. We need prosecution for all 
individuals guilty of violating the law, including having 
committed or authorized crimes against humanity, crimes 
against the peace, torture, or war crimes. We need a complete 
renunciation of the pre-emptive war doctrine. We need an end 
to all wars and war's utility. We need to dismantle the 
apparatus that implements schemes of regime change around the 
world, and that instead assists in self-determination of 
all peoples."
McKinney has acted as a sentinel for Africa, on guard against 
U.S. recolonization of the continent. She correctly regards 
AFRICOM as a threat to the region. "More than likely, this 
force will be used in just the same way as Plan Colombia is 
used -- to police dissent and punish the innocent solely for 
pecuniary reasons. The last thing Africa needs is AFRICOM, 
U.S. soldiers, or a School of the Americas-type relationship 
with Africa."
When Obama is not carrying imperial water in the bullying of 
weaker nations, he is silent on burning global issues - 
especially those of keen interest to African Americans.
The December 2006 U.S.-instigated Ethiopian invasion of 
Somalia, which according to the United Nations created "the 
worst [and still ongoing] humanitarian crisis in Africa," 
elicits not a peep from Obama. In fact, the only comments 
from Obama on Somalia that we have found are his complaints 
about pictures taken during a trip to his father's homeland, 
Kenya, depicting Obama in the ceremonial tribal garb of the 
overwhelming Muslim Somalis.
McKinney has repeatedly denounced the U.S. overthrow of 
Haiti's elected government in 2004, the kidnapping and exile 
of President Jean Bertrand Aristide, and Brazil's and the 
United Nation's role in occupying the country on behalf of 
the Americans.

U.S. Corporate-Zionist Media have gone beyond all limits: 
It's becoming a bunch of home movies, ignoring a nation of 
340 million
July 14, 2008: They interview each other. They extol each 
other. They mourn each other. It's not private TV. This is 
the major media, feeding lies to the American media, talking 
to each other, filling every slot with Jewish elites and 
other hangers on of Israel. It seems as if:
1. Devotees of Jesus do not live in this country.
2. Followers of Islam who oppose the war do not live in 
this country.
3. There are are no independent thinking 
African-Americans.
4. There are no opponents of Israel.
5. There are no no poor or lower middle class people 
[other than those who want handouts].
6. Everyone thinks homosexuality is normal.
7. Women love to take their clothes off. Those who don't, 
must be ugly.
8. There are no Latinos in this country other than criminals 
and "aliens."
As for mourning, we can understand that when an employee 
dies, there should be mourning. However, we see employees of 
the corporate-zionist media being mourned as celebrities, day 
after day, given more coverage than American forces fighting 
and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq. Tim Russert was a good 
journalist who lacked the courage to question Israel's 
legitimacy or to explore crimes committed against Afghans and 
Somalis. Tony Snow looked good in a suit but he was a servant 
and spokesman of one of the most little-minded presidents in 
American history. Day after day, the plaudits went on.
Have the American people lost all right of reply that this 
nonsense can go on around the clock?
One might say "Don't we see Obama every day? Isn't he Black? 
Wasn't Hillary speaking out?" No dear reader, these are part 
of the INNER CIRCLE of the power structure. Hillary made a 
few waves [tiny ones] and was treated like dirt. 
["Bill Clinton's wife."]
Muslims should oppose glorification of Homosexuality, 
Degradation of Women, Insults Against Jesus and Mary, 
peace be on them.
The Zionists have successfully, in most states over America, 
made homosexuality protected by law. Criticism is called 
"homophobia" which is equated with racism and anti-semitism. 
Exploitation and degradation of women is the norm. Adultery 
is hardly noticed as news. Perversion is "interesting." Even 
child molestation is becoming old news.
Muslims and Christians should join hands to call TV programs 
of a great variety which are extolling sex, violence and 
homosexuality. Call them and say: Stop these violations of 
decency. Stop catering to the perversions of a 
tiny minority.
How powerful the Jews have become that they openly insult and 
ridicule Jesus and Mary! Muslims should wake up and oppose 
this abuse. If the Jews can insult Jesus, pbuh, they can even 
more shamelessly ridicule Muhammad, pbuh.
Women are potentially mothers, revered in the Qur'an second 
only to Allah Almighty Himself. Living in this country, we as 
Muslims must oppose the degradation of women. Wake up 
Muslims! Tomorrow this wave of perversion and evil will enter 
our homes. It is already lapping at the door.
Homosexuality is also being transmitted as "okay" by 
concealed Jewish-corporate groups to Pakistan, Egypt and 
other Muslim countries. These groups claim that they are 
Muslims and try to give the impression that homosexuality is 
widespread in Muslim countries and should be recognized. It's 
the same tactic as was used in USA.

Dr. Sami Al-Arian Granted Bail [but still not freed]
In a setback for the government, Dr. Sami Al-Arian was 
granted bail by Judge Leonie M. Brinkema today. Over the 
objections of the government and the pre-trial services, 
Judge Brinkema agreed that Dr. Al-Arian was not a flight risk 
and no danger to the community. The government has suggested 
that it may now block release by having Immigration officials 
hold Dr. Al-Arian for deportation — despite the fact that it 
is trying to hold him for years under a criminal sentence 
rather than deport him.

Momin's Case Backfiring on Government of Canada
July 9: "The Crown's star witness in the trial of the first 
person charged under Canada's Anti-terrorism Act told an 
Ottawa court Wednesday that he never discussed a fertilizer 
bomb plot with the accused. The admission at the trial of 
Mohammad Momin Khawaja came during the defence's 
cross-examination of Mohammad Junaid Babar, a former al-Qaeda 
operative turned police informant." [Canada Press]
Comment: There is no proof that Babar was ever an al-Qaida 
operative. He is facing 70 years in prison, so he decided to 
become an informer to say what the government says. The 
governments of UK, USA and Canada are working to tandem to 
convict foolish Muslims who talk too much.
As for the Canadian claim that Momin's little cell phone 
device was a a "detonator," the following cross examination 
of a police officer in the case "detonated" that claim which 
is central to the case:
"July 10: But in a tense earlier exchange, the police officer 
conceded that the five-volt version of the Hi-Fi Digimonster 
seized from the Khawaja home was not powerful enough to 
detonate anything.
"What's more, you found no detonators at Momin Khawaja's 
home, isn't that correct?" charged Mr. Greenspon 
[defense attorney].
"No, I did not," replied Sgt. Fiset.
"No explosives."
"No I did not."
"No ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Nothing."
"No I did not.
"What was found at the Khawaja home was a radio transmitter," 
that was incapable of setting off a bomb, "and that's where 
it stopped," said Mr. Greenspon.
"At a technical level, I agree," replied the officer.] [The 
Ottawa Citizen, July 11]
American Muslim Challenges Department of Homeland

American Muslim Veteran On Docket U.S. Supreme Court
Down through the ages, men have found the justification for 
the ill treatment of their fellow man, in the name of 
"protecting their governments, or the people of the society 
at large.
Something is wrong when we can justify taking away one human 
beings basic rights, and his protection under the law, for 
unjust persecution.
Where ever or when ever we witness such gross injustices we 
must respond accordingly. To keep silent is criminal in and 
of it's self.
For the past 3 years and 11 months, I have been in pursuit 
of that illusive entity known as "justice", this journey has 
thus far yielded the following results.

Sudan: by New Trend's Media Monitor
CNN's Atrocity Propaganda: Nick Robertson's Lies linked to 
Condemnation of President Bashir Engineered by International 
Jewry & Imperialism
July 13, 2008: When the CNN program began, it showed 
demonstrators supporting President Bashir of Sudan. The 
presentation was so cleverly done that it gave the impression 
of being against Bashir, so much so that CNN had to give a 
[very] brief note that these were Bashir supporters!
CNN reporter Nick Robertson is supposed to be a top CNN man 
but he broke all the rules of genuine journalism to accuse 
Sudan of committing rape on a mass scale in Darfur. He made 
the claim, repeatedly, that every woman in Darfur has been 
raped, supposedly by forces allied to the Sudanese 
government. How he found that EVERY woman has been raped is 
anyone's guess. This kind of irresponsible incitement is 
typical of Jewish-Zionist propaganda coming out of CNN.
Robertson does not know the Darfur language. His cameraman 
would show a woman and show a man talking about her. After a 
few seconds, he would go into 'voice over' and claim that she 
was raped. From there he moved quickly to claim that every 
woman had been raped!
Behind CNN's atrocity propaganda is the fact that 
International Jewry is getting ready to have President Bashir 
of Sudan proclaimed a criminal guilty of genocide. These 
voices have come right out of the so-called Holocaust Museum 
in Washington, DC., so make no mistake about the 
Jewish-Zionist hand at work. [This writer is not 
anti-semitiic. The Jewish forces are hard at work, taking the 
Darfur propaganda right into the American school system. It's 
an effective way of deflecting attention from the genocide of 
the Somali, Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan people.]

Lal Masjid cleric warns against prolonging issue
[Courtesy The Post, Peshawar, Pakistan] [The Post is a 
secularist paper. Hence it uses terms like "cleric" for 
Islamic scholar or Imam - Editor, New Trend]
Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD: Lal Masjid's Naib Khateeb Maulana Amir Siddique on 
Friday said that the government would be responsible for any 
violence if it did not settle the Lal Masjid issue soon 
because people were losing patience.
He was addressing a protest rally held to press demands for 
the release of Maulana Abdul Aziz Ghazi and reconstruction of 
Jamia Hafsa, at Lal Masjid Chowk after Friday prayers.
The protestors were carrying banners and placards. They 
chanted slogans against President Musharraf, accusing him of 
killing hundreds of students in the Lal Masjid operation. 
They also called for forming an inquiry team to investigate 
the matter. Amir said that people pinned high hopes on the 
new government but it looked non-serious in resolving the 
issue. He said that an action plan would be evolved at the 
Ulema Action Committee meeting scheduled to be held 
on Sunday.
"The coalition parties got a mandate on the Lal Masjid issue. 
Now if the government puts the issue on the back burner, it 
would have to face the music," he warned.Talking to The Post, 
Amir vowed to continue the struggle started by the Ghazi 
family until the Islamic system was promulgated in the 
country.He demanded the government release Maulana Abdul Aziz 
Ghazi and other detainees and rebuild Jamia Hafsa as per the 
Supreme Court's verdict.
The security arrangements for the rally were very poor. Only 
a few policemen were visible.
LAHORE, Jul 13:
Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad 
warns: any aggression on Pakistani soil would be 
countered with full force.
These views were expressed by the Jamaat leader while talking 
to newsmen and addressing the party workers at Markaz Islami 
Peshawar on Sunday. Qazi said if America intervened inside 
Pakistani territories, masses will resist them with all 
available force. Qazi said "every American move will be 
reciprocated accordingly. Their animosity will be 
reciprocated in the same coin, while their friendship will be 
welcomed in the same spirit," he said.
Qazi demanded of the Americans to stop antagonism against 
them, let them live honorably besides withdrawing American 
forces from Afghanistan and Iraq immediately and ridding the 
Palestinians from Israeli aggression.
Qazi demanded of the rulers to review their policies and 
particularly reverse the pro-American policies which had 
badly damaged the national security, unity and solidarity. 
Qazi said there was no danger of Taliban's take over anywhere 
in the country, adding that the only danger country faced was 
from government's west oriented policies.
He said we are facing great challenges on internal and 
external fronts, since enemies want to deprive us of nuclear 
capabilities and our Islamic ideology, which could only be 
met by restoring constitution on the Oct 12, '99 position and 
cementing total unity in our ranks.
Qazi asked both PPP and PML-N if they were sincere in 
restoring supremacy of constitution and parliament they 
should get rid of Gen Musharraf without wasting any time.
He expressed wonders as to why the ruling alliance is not 
impeaching Gen Musharraf despite having the required majority 
in the parliament, adding that it has been the talk of the 
town that both parties have returned to power through a 
secret deal with Gen Musharraf which required them not to 
impeach and touch him, and in lieu of that he exonerated 
Asif Zardari of all corruption cases under NRO.
Replying to a question, Qazi Hussain Ahmad said the PPP 
regime is in real fix as it striving to please Washington and 
the masses at the same time. They could not define true 
direction for them. They are devoid of clear line of action 
and policy
To a question about movement against the government, Qazi 
Hussain Ahmad said such action would serve nothing but give 
the army a chance of intervention as a result of this clash. 
The country is already suffering from the army take over to 
great extent. We want to see the country leading towards the 
real democracy. The great challenges facing the country 
require unity in the ranks of the nation.
Referring to the skirmishes on LoC in Neelum Valley area 
between Indian and Pakistan army and US direct attack in the 
settled areas of NWFP are alarming. Instead of understanding 
the planning of enemy, he said, we are taking pride in 
aligning with our own enemy in their war on terror. He urged 
the masses to prepare themselves for meeting 
such challenges.

Muslim Protests Against the Controversial 
Textbook in Kerala [India]: Varied Views on 
Nuclear Deal
by K. Hamza [India]
This refers to the letter of Prof. Koya, published in the 
New Trend.
The report on the Muslim protests against the controversial 
Social Science Textbook for students of class vii in Kerala 
was based on the incidents which took place in the State 
between June 1 to 20, and it was later that the Hindu and 
Christian organizations joined hands with statewide protests 
unleashed by various Muslim organizations. The protests and 
ensuing clashes were given unbiased coverage by the national 
and local newspapers in the country.
The Muslim protest was mainly on the Communist Party of India 
(Marxist)-led government's hidden agenda of propagating 
party's ideology among students. Not only the Indian 
Union Muslim League, but the following organizations have 
joined the campaign against the Ministry of Education's 
academic skullduggery. The Christian Church, all the major 
Muslim groups regardless of political difference and the Nair 
Service Society (NSS)-the quasi- political social umbrella of 
the Hindu Nair community have come out against the Textbook. 
Admittedly, some passages are positively included in the 
book, but the other portions do not fall into this category.
For example, the lesson under the caption, "Jeevan, the 
Casteless" offends the religious sentiments of Muslim 
community. Further the lesson inculcates the renaissance 
value of religious tolerance in the children.Another lesson 
in the textbook depicts Jawaharlal Nehru's irreligious 
attitude as he was rejecting any religious ritual on his 
death. This will also breed atheism in the young minds. The 
Dheevaara Sabha, another Hindu organization in the State 
raised the complaint that some portions in the text are 
anti-constitutional, anti-national and anti-reservation. They 
point out that as per Section 15(4), 15(5) and 16(4) of the 
Indian Constitution, reservation based on caste and religion 
was allowed. So the lesson titled "Jeevan, the Casteless" is 
an attempt to undermine the concept of reservation and 
related concession that the oppressed and backward 
communities, including Malabar Muslims (Mappila) are enjoying 
now in the education and professional fields. It is, 
therefore, inevitable and mandatory that a student gives his 
caste and religion while getting admitted to a school.
The controversial lesson on "Jeevan, the Casteless", 
emphasizes on the vision of Sree Narayana Guru, the 
thinker-savant of Kerala, "Whatever be the religion, suffice 
it if it makes a better man"- It means that religion is not 
important, but man can have virtue without religion. This 
will prompt students to think cynically on the question of 
existence of religion.
Now let us turn to the issue of Indo-US Nuclear Deal. The 
Indian Union Muslim League, which is at the helm of agitation 
against the controversial textbook, is an ally in the 
government of Manmohan Singh-led United Progressive Alliance 
and does not protest against the Deal. The proposed Nuclear 
Deal is a hotly debated issue with a blazing ferocity, 
igniting a fusillade of criticism in the Indian political 
circles. Not only Muslim League, but several Muslim 
organizations hold different views. Two eminent Muslim 
scholars representing the reputed Muslim schools of the 
Deoband and Bareilli in Utterpradesh, north India, Moulana 
Abdul Khaliq Madrasi and Moulana Tauqeer Reza Khan Barelvi 
support the view of Nuclear Deal having no relation with the 
Muslim cause. In Lucknow, the working committee meeting of 
the UP unit of Jamiat Ulaema –I-Hind said the Deal was the 
prerogative of the politicians and scientists. Moulana 
Kalimullah KhanQasmi, secretary of the organization said the 
Muslims should devote attention to the education of 
their children.
The Kerala Muslim Jama'at Council has deplored the 
Indo-Nuclear deal as it is inimical to India's interests. 
There are some other Muslim bodies who are also apprehensive 
of the deal as India is facing pressure from the U.S. to sign 
the pact, but any fissure in the coalition of secular parties 
would lead to Hindu fascist forces coming to power. The Deal 
is anchored in the Hyde Act which has so many prescriptive 
clauses binding India's sovereignty. Some Muslim 
intellectuals and leaders are waiting to deplore or applaud 
until the Manmohan Singh government discloses the terms and 
conditions of the nuclear agreement in parliament.

War News: Afghanistan: Classic Taliban 
Attack. U.S. Troop Wiped out In Spite of Air 
Support
July 13, 2008: In rugged Kunar province, Taliban fighters, 
lightly armed and moving with coordination, trapped and wiped 
out a heavily armed U.S. special forces unit, killing 9 U.S. 
troops and wounding 15. The Taliban drew out the Americans 
till they were out of range of their main base. When the 
Islamic fighters swooped down, the U.S. troops called in air 
support. According to the BBC, the U.S. Apache helicopters 
and jet fighters attacked the Taliban. However, it appears 
from after-battle situation that not one Talib was killed. 
The Taliban, very highly motivated, Islamic fighters, 
apparently hit the U.S. troops between waves of American 
air attacks.
The Taliban victory is hurting the U.S. and has suddenly 
brought the war back to American TV because here the Taliban 
were not using martyrdom operators or roadside bombs but 
taking on the toughest American troops frontally. [A brief 
segment of the Taliban attack video was shown on CBS TV. July 
14. The Takbeers were audible
Wardak Province and Most of Afghanistan in 
Taliban Hands: Classic Guerrilla Warfare: 
Surrounding Towns from Countryside
July 13, 2008: The BBC is reporting interviews with Taliban 
fighters in Wardak province which outflanks the capital city 
of Kabul in an envelope of rugged territory. According to 
this report, there are 2000 Taliban fighters in the Wardak 
area and their infiltrators are hitting Kabul from there. The 
BBC admitted that just about ALL of the Afghan countryside is 
now in Taliban hands. New Trend has reports that the cities 
are controlled by NATO forces and by Communist and Shi'ite 
Afghan supporters, mostly corrupt war lords, of Karzai.
[Mao would have been proud of the Taliban. The classic 
guerrilla warfare strategy of surrounding the cities by 
taking over the countryside, which he advocated, is being 
implemented by the Taliban.]
Jalaluddin Haqqani's Son killed in Fighting 
Karzai troops.
Omar, the 20 year old son of shaikh Haqqani, was killed in a 
battle with Karzai mercenaries on July 9. Haqqani was a 
veteran of the battle against the Soviet Union. With the U.S. 
invasion in 2001, he joined the resistance. Omar was one of 
his six sons from his Afghan wife. He also has children from 
his Arab wife. Omar is being hailed in Afghanistan as a hero 
and a martyr.
The number of women and children killed by the U.S. air 
force in the wedding party it hit in Nangarhar 
province has risen to 47. We earlier reported 27 killed 
including the bride.
Martyrdom Operator Hits Karzai Supporters
July 13: At least 21 people were killed, including 3 
police officers and several junior ranks, when a martyrdom 
operator hit a police unit in the Tarin Kowt area 
[CNN]. The dead include innocent civilians
