Jamil al-Amin
October 25, 2008. Under the heading "everyday Oppression," 
Sis. Nabila Bey hosted an hour long program about Imam Jamil 
al-Amin on Philadelphia's 900amWURD radio. Her guest, Sis. 
Karima al-Amin, Imam Jamil's wife, took half an hour to

and he commented on Sis. Karima's presentation and asked a 
series of questions. He mentioned Jamaat al-Muslimeen's 
support for Imam Jamil at the Jericho march and the need for 
a MASS MOVEMENT in support of the Imam whom he calls the Imam 
of America.
The following information was provided on the program for 
those who want to support the Imam:

Sisters Speak in Atlanta Georgia, organized by sis. 
Hadayai Majeed.
by Sis. Nadia Auxila [Baltimore, Maryland]
The October 11 event's focus was on spreading awareness about 
domestic violence and domestic violence advocacy, 
HIV/AIDS/MENTAL HEALTH, LIVING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. Being 
Muslim does not mean being poor. It means victory 
over defeat.
The setting was very informal which made it personal and the 
atmosphere loving and comfortable.
Sr. Hadayai Majeed spoke of how she began her organization in 
1997 by establishing a shelter with 3 other sisters. They met 
for iftaar and brainstormed on how they will help other 
Muslims in need. She spoke of their struggle and how she had 
to stand with a box to collect funds for the 
shelter's expenses.
She spoke of how grateful one sister was even though the home 
was not suitable for living and how the sister made the home 
livable for her and grateful for having a roof and alive to 
be there.
The 10/11/08 Sister speaks educational forum was held to 
address the difficult issues that the community and Masajids 
don't talk about SUCH AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HIV/AIDS IN 
THE COMMUNITY.
Sr. Nafisa has an organization called SISTER2SISTER that 
REACHES OUT TO ABUSED WOMEN and ALSO HAVE A NATIONAL HOT 
LINE. She stressed that they are in need of volunteers to 
answer the hotline. She began her organization SISTA2SISTA 
INC IN 2000.
Sr. Maria 16 years old Speaks about peer pressure and how to 
battle it. she is a member of More for youth organization 13 
-18 years old members. she spoke of how to stay out of 
trouble is to stay busy at all times doing some type of 
community activities and involve in some type of sport or 
recreational atmosphere. and family support is important, 
believing in Allah and Praying together with your family and 
reading the Holy Qu'ran and discussing how you feel about the 
verse you have read.
AlhamdulliAllah she is a very remarkable young sister.
Sr. Alethia spoke about HEALTHY LIVING: The way to healthy 
living is by eating right and by getting rid of toxins from 
your body. you do that by detoxing how do you detox? you 
should eat foods that are high in ALKALINE such as fruits, 
beans, nuts and leafy vegetables. Developed a program that 
teaches you how to eat , how to become healthy and 
stay healthy.
Sr. Jeanette: Muslim dost not mean poor from poverty to 
financial success. she began her business by making business 
cards and natural soap, lotion, oils , grafic designs while 
working for a company that does graphic designs. She was so 
successful and persistant that now she owns and operate A 
GRAPHIC DESIGN & PRINTING COMPANY CALLED ZAKIA & ASSOC.
She also mentioned that she has been blessed and now she can 
assist others to begin their own business. she also mention 
your way to success is that you have to have a passion in 
what you are doing. She says services is wealth also be open 
to barter.

Sr. HedayaiMajeed spoke on HIV/AIDS AWARENESS
. There are at least 8 to 15 strands of HIV Virus. Go to 
google search CDC
 
to find out more about the different strands of HIV. She 
mentioned that HIV is in our community and that people are 
getting married thinking they do not need to get tested.
For instance a child may be born from a mother with the 
virus. However the child is a carrier and everything is fine 
and does not tell his intended that he was born of a HIV 
Virus mother and the myth that he is okay. They come to find 
out after they marry that the wife got the virus from him.
Sr. Hedayai stressed that we need to be tested before we get 
married. She also stressed what every Imam we are comfortable 
with to let them know that this issue is very important and 
it should be addressed in our community. and not to ignore it 
because it is destroying innocent lives. The problem is Lack 
of education and thinking that we as Muslims are protected 
from contracting HIV. Visit her website 
www.baitulsalaam.net
My visit to Atlanta was very informative. It was a pleasure 
to have met everyone and they also place more motivation in 
my heart and soul to continue assisting those who are in need 
in our community at large. It was inspiring watching Sis. 
Hidayia at work and how she transformed everything without a 
hitch even though some things did not turn out how she 
expected them to be. Masha'Allah I am pleased to have met 
her. Just being around her I learned a whole lot and I pray 
that we continue networking with each other insha'Allah.

This letter was published in April 2007 but W.D. Muhammad 
refused to answer.
Appeal to Imam W. D. Muhammad: Stop Dividing the Muslims 
of America: A Long Time Supporter Cries Out Against W.D.'s 
Moves to Keep out Immigrant Muslims
As-salaam-Alaikum,
Dear Imam Mohammed, 
First, allow me to tell you a bit about myself., I was a 
follower of your father, the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, and upon 
the transition you lead in 1975, accepted the true teachings 
of Al-Islam and have been a supporter of yours ever since.
However, there have been some disturbing developments in 
recent years which I have begun noticing, and felt it 
necessary to write to you. In recent years, it seems that the 
community has become more and more focused upon your image 
and personality. There seem to be contradictory visions and 
paths for the community's future.
Take 'Savior Day' for example. What purpose is served by 
outright banning Non-Blacks from it? At last year's program, 
I witnessed many people, mostly Muslim, actually escorted off 
the property and rudely treated by the security [i am 
speaking of Detroit, Cobo Hall].
We expected an apology or an explanation from your office. 
However, your office did no such thing. This is quite 
disturbing! Are Non-Arab Muslims banned from performing Hajj 
because of their nationality or color? How is such treatment 
Islamic, or representative of The Qur'an and the Sunnah?
I can no longer see the depth of Islamic wisdom and 
application in your lectures. It now seems to be only about 
your personality. I cannot be in a Cult, but as you have 
been instrumental in my own development in Al-Islam, I appeal 
to you to speak out against the deification taking place, and 
to issue a public statement explaining the reasoning behind 
these New Racial Bans at your address.
Sincerely,
Br. Muhammad [California]
Toben's Arrest: A New Assault Against Free Speech
Mark Weber -- Institute for Historical Review
http://www.ihr.org/other/oct08toben.html
 
... "Denial" laws criminalize even factual or truthful 
statements that "play down" the wartime treatment of Europe's 
Jews, thereby violating ancient and universal standards of 
justice. Justice applied selectively is not justice. It is a 
form of injustice ... Germany's effort to impose its peculiar 
limits on free speech outside its borders has potentially 
harmful consequences for Internet freedom of expression 
everywhere. Because the Toben case has such far-reaching 
implications, people in many countries will be closely 
watching how British authorities decide to handle Germany's 
extradition request.
Colin Powell and Obama: A disaster in the making
YEAH, BUT ........A man with the blood of millions on 
his hands
by Jeff Archer [San Diego, California] [Exclusive to 
New Trend]
For some reason, many of Barack Obama's supporters live in a 
state of denial. To those of the "left" who support him, many 
do not agree with much of his political stance, but they 
ignore the facts. When I talk to them and point out the 
variances between Obama's views and theirs, most say, "Yeah, 
but ... " Then they talk of him changing once he inhabits the 
White House.
The facts differ. In a couple of years. Obama has gone back 
on many of his views; he has not hinted that he would be the 
be-all-and-end-all president of those whose politics lean 
toward the left.
Obama came on the scene as the most genuine anti-war 
candidate. In the past year, however, he said he would keep 
U.S. troops in Iraq if there was a threat of Al-Qaida. Then, 
he said he would enhance the U.S. presence in Afghanistan and 
possibly invade Pakistan. To make matters worse, the once 
vocal opponent of "the surge" in Iraq recently stated that 
the surge "worked beyond our wildest expectations."
Add to the list the pro-Homeland Security Act enhancement 
that Obama voted for, yet for months prior to the vote he 
said he opposed it. How about drilling for oil off the U.S. 
coastline? The once ardent opponent of such actions is now a 
supporter of offshore oil drilling.
Foreign policy is definitely not one of Obama's strengths. He 
realizes this so he put all his eggs in Israel's basket. For 
the Palestinian cause, he said that the Palestinians have no 
right of return to Israel. Then he added that Jerusalem 
should be the capital of Israel, despite many Israelis 
accepting the current designation as an international city. 
Then, he stole the words of a U.S. segregationist governor as 
he proclaimed, "Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel 
forever." I find it quite disingenuous for Congressman Lewis 
of Georgia to accuse the Republican presidential campaign for 
using the tactics of George Wallace when his own candidate, 
an African American, plagiarized the former 
Alabama governor.
Despite all these illogical assessments, Obama saved his 
worst decision for last: he has put an invitation forth to 
have Colin Powell become a part of his administration, if 
elected. That's right, Colin Powell, the architect of two 
wars against Iraq. A man with the blood of millions of 
innocent Iraqis on his hands. A man who qualifies as a war 
criminal of the highest level.
A few days ago, Powell publicly endorsed Obama. Within hours 
of the announcement, Obama gave Powell the invitation. 
According to the October 20, 2008 article, "Obama: Powell 
Will Have a Role in Administration," by Laurie Kellman of the 
Associated Press:
With or without a formal title, Colin Powell will have Barack 
Obama's ear if the Democratic presidential candidate wins the 
White House in the Nov. 4 election, the candidate 
said Monday.
"He will have a role as one of my advisers," Barack Obama 
said on NBC's "Today" in an interview aired Monday, a day 
after Powell, a four-star general and President Bush's former 
secretary of state, endorsed him.
"Whether he wants to take a formal role, whether that's a 
good fit for him, is something we'd have to discuss," 
Obama said.
It is curious why Obama has rejected the endorsements of 
various individuals, such as Louis Farrakhan, yet he quickly 
invited a lying war criminal, who is a registered Republican, 
to join his administration.
Powell is the person who, on August 3, 1990, told George Bush 
I: "If you finally decide to commit military forces, Mr. 
President, it must be done as massively and decisively 
as possible."
Powell is the person, who, when asked about the number of 
dead Iraqi soldiers and civilians who were massacred in the 
ground phase of Desert Storm (after the administration 
publicly said that retreating Iraqis would not be attacked): 
"I don't have a clue and I don't plan to undertake any real 
effort to find out."
Powell is the person, who, several months after the 1991 Gulf 
War, stated that his goal was to "make the world scared to 
death of the United States."
Despite all his bravado and war-mongering, Powell outdid 
himself on February 5, 2003 when he gave the most outlandish, 
lie-filled presentation ever put forth at the United Nations. 
He had all kinds of charts and illustrations to prove his 
point that Iraq was in possession of myriad chemical and 
biological weapons. The only problem was that they all 
depicted lies.
Once it was proven that Powell had deceived the world, he 
called it "the lowest point in my life." Powell has publicly 
stated that he was conned and he is upset that his legacy 
will be tarnished. However, he has never uttered one word of 
sorrow for the million-and-a-half Iraqis who have died since 
March 2003 because of his lies. They aren't worth as much as 
his legacy. (See "Part Three: Occupation and Resistance," in 
The Mother of All Battles for a comprehensive account 
of Powell's performance at the UN on February 5, 2003.)
The losers from the Obama/Powell tag-team will be Arabs. 
Obama, other than telling the Palestinians that their gripes 
against Israel are bogus, has not mentioned anything about 
the Arab world. Powell has masterminded the deaths of three 
million Arabs. The reasons for the left to say, "Yeah, but," 
are quickly running out.
UNTOUCHABILITY-AN INHUMAN PRACTICE IS STILL PREVALENT 
IN INDIA
by K. Hamza [India]
India claims to be the largest democratic country in the 
world. Even after 61 years of Independence, the inhuman 
practice of "untouchability" is still prevalent in the 
country. The upper caste Hindus, the Brahmins, pretend and 
propagate as they are the only divinely chosen people on 
earth by birth so that all other castes are to be under their 
domain. In the temples, only upper caste Hindus are allowed 
to conduct prayers. So also, lower castes are not allowed to 
worship in the temples which belong to the Brahmins and their 
entry to these temples is a taboo. Dalits, the untouchables, 
have separate temples and burial grounds. Dalits are being 
persecuted and humiliated community in India. It is awfully 
humiliating that hey continue to be served food in eateries 
at separate place in different set of tumblers. They are 
forced to live in desperate poverty in slushy, refuse-strewn 
townships and gritty rural backwaters.
A section of the 600-metre long wall, erected across 
Uthapuram village in Tamil Nadu,(former Madras province) in 
south India, dividing two communities-the Upper caste Hindus 
and the oppressed lower caste called "Dalits", was pulled 
down on 6 May,2008 by the government authorities under 
pressure from agitators against the caste discrimination and 
oppression. The wall was erected 18 years ago, denying access 
to Dalits' to other side where the upper caste Hindus were 
living. The wall was also electrified to deter night-time 
"intrusion" of Dalits.
India's Brahmins, the upper caste, are a micro-minority of 2 
per cent, and they are descendant of Aryans who invaded India 
in pre-historic time. They first invaded north India and 
later entered to the south where they had been resisted by 
the indigenous inhabitants, called Dravidians, who constitute 
85 per cent of the country's population. The lower caste 
Hindus are also divided into innumerable castes and 
sub-castes based on the structure of caste system, in which 
Brahmins occupied atop being supreme and others on a 
descending order of contempt. The Hindu scriptures have 
classified them to the lowest in the hierarchical ladder by 
virtue of birth .the word "Dalit"means the "oppressed" or 
broken in the Hindi language. The Hindu scriptures state that 
birth in a low caste is considered on a predestined fate.
Most of the Dalits are assigned to do scavengers' duties such 
as carrying human excreta to the dumping place and clean dry 
latrines in the rural localities.
Dalits are blatantly victimized by members of higher caste on 
the assumption that they are chosen by God as supreme and 
pure. On many occasions, National Human Rights Commission had 
sent notice to the State governments concerned, but no action 
had been forthcoming from the authorities. Even if they lodge 
complaints with the local police, but the law and order 
Department would not show enough verve and nerve to wipe out 
this social evil. Members of Dalit community have to flee the 
villages to escape inhuman treatment and oppression by the 
upper caste feudal landlords under whom they are living as 
bonded labourers.
True, India is a Republic and Democratic nation where all 
citizens, regardless of caste ,religion, region and language, 
are equal. The Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front, a 
progressive organization, has been fighting against this 
social evil. The media have applauded the event on May 6, as 
the "Wall of Shame", which divided people on caste basis for 
more than 18 years, and which symbolized caste oppression and 
discrimination, was pulled down, providing access to Dalits 
to public through fare. Even today, caste discrimination is 
taking hold in India's most benighted places. The demolition 
of the wall had infuriated the Brahmins, bukt the Dalits 
refused to yield. Since the government is encouraging Dalits 
and other backward classes to have education by incentives 
like fee concession and other aids, most of them are now 
educated and they reject the hierarchical ethic of caste 
system and Hindu vedic virtue of fatalism as a reason to 
tolerate their deprived condition.
A few years ago, Dalits at an entire village in Tami Nadu 
embraced Islam in protest against the untouchability policy 
held by the upper castes, as the Dalits had convinced that 
Islam is the only religion that treats all humans as brothers 
in faith.
Obama's Jews: They Shape, run and Control his Campaign 
from Start to Finish
[From the Israeli paper Ha'aretz. Published for educational 
purpose only. Not for profit.] [McCain too has Js attached to 
his campaign, just in case, but New Trend is excerpting only 
the Obama J's because these are impressive and are running 
his entire show.]
David Axelrod: Chief strategist and media advisor for 
the Obama campaign, he has harnessed grassroots support 
through "viral" media, new technology and emphasis on the 
theme of change.
Steven Bob and Sam Gordon: The two Reform rabbis from the 
Chicago area founded Rabbis for Obama, which has 
persuaded hundreds of rabbinical colleagues to go on record 
by name supporting the candidate. The group's influence on 
the Jewish electorate has been difficult to gauge.
Laurie David: The global-warming activist and producer of "An 
Inconvenient Truth," starring Al Gore, she is ex-wife of 
"Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator Larry David and 
one of Jewish Hollywood's most prodigious fundraisers.
Ira Forman: The executive director of the National Jewish 
Democratic Council, he is Matt Brooks' counterpart.
Barney Frank: The Massachusetts Democratic congressman is one 
of the most visible, outspoken liberals in the House. He is 
openly gay and a frequent target of pro-McCain commentators, 
particularly on Fox News, where, because of his role as chair 
of the House Financial Services Committee, he has been said 
to bear crucial responsibility for the sub-prime lending 
crisis. He played a key role in negotiating the Wall 
Street bailout package.
Ed Koch: The former New York City mayor is still a gold 
standard for Jews of a certain age. He backed Bush in 2004 
and Hillary Clinton during the primaries. Now he's for Obama.
Sherry Lansing: The first woman to head a major Hollywood 
studio (Paramount), she is a major Democratic donor 
and fundraiser.
[The brackets below this have been added by New Trend.]
[Wall Street is Jewish . Hence Obama's efforts to bail it 
out.] Henry Lehman: A Bavarian immigrant who settled in 
Alabama in 1844 at age 23, and founded H. Lehman, a general 
store that, by accepting raw cotton in lieu of cash, would 
later lead to commodity trading in cotton. In 1850, he and 
his brothers Emanuel and Mayer formed Lehman Brothers, which 
became one of the first and most powerful investment houses 
on Wall Street. Lehman Brothers' spectacular collapse in 
mid-September, the largest bankruptcy in American history, 
triggered a worldwide financial panic that, more than any 
single factor, may determine the outcome of the 2008 
presidential election.
Mik Moore and Ari Wallach: Launched Jewsvote.org, utilizing 
high-tech methods to counteract Web-borne attacks on Obama. 
The group also sponsors The Great Schlep - a campaign to 
get grandchildren to visit grandparents in Florida, to 
persuade them to vote for Obama.
Eli Pariser: He heads MoveOn.org, a liberal on-line 
advocacy group that has raised large sums for 
Democratic candidates.
Martin Peretz: The editor of The New Republic, he wrote an 
influential article entitled "Can friends of Israel - and 
Jews - trust Obama? In a word, Yes."
Penny Pritzker: She is the national finance chair of the 
Obama campaign. A billionaire executive, pioneer Obama 
supporter and scion of a well-known Jewish mega-donor family, 
she has taken flak over the degree of her involvement in a 
the failure of a bank driven by sub-prime mortgages.
Ed Rendell: The governor of the key swing state of 
Pennsylvania, he is former head of the Democratic National 
Committee and a top Democratic campaign spokesman.
Denise Rich: The socialite and ex-wife of disgraced 
billionaire Marc Rich is a Democratic megafundraiser.
Dennis Ross and Dan Kurtzer: They are the center-right and 
center-left anchors of Obama's Middle East 
advisory staff.
Robert Rubin: The top Obama economics advisor has 
unsurpassed knowledge of the workings of Wall Street and was 
treasury secretary in the Clinton administration.
Dan Shapiro: A former Clinton administration National 
Security Council official, he is a senior Mideast policy 
advisor and Jewish outreach coordinator for the Obama 
campaign. He is said to have co-written Obama's speech before 
AIPAC (the pro-Israel lobby), in which the candidate declared 
"Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must 
remain undivided" - a statement Obama later 
partially recanted.
Sarah Silverman: A "shock comedian," she served as video 
spokeswoman for The Great Schlep (see Mik Moore, above). Her 
monologue spawned a counter-clip from veteran comic 
Jackie Mason.
Alan Solow: The Chicago lawyer is active in the Jewish 
community and in the Conference of Presidents. He has been an 
Obama supporter for a dozen years.
Jon Stewart: As host of the satirical TV news program "The 
Daily Show," he has become perhaps the most listened-to 
liberal voice in the nation. The New York Times called 
Stewart's program "a genuine cultural and political force."
Barbra Streisand: The superstar singer is a Jewish-liberal 
icon and mega-fundraiser. She endorsed Hillary Clinton 
in the primary race and has backed Obama since the Democratic 
convention. She also headlined a Hollywood fundraiser in 
September, which included a $25,800-a-plate dinner.

LAHORE, Oct 24: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain 
Ahmad has stressed that unless Muslims are treated with 
justice the whole world will continue to suffer from unrest. 
Justice is the key to establish world peace and there is no 
alternative to that, he said while addressing the inaugural 
session of the JI congregation comprising a huge gathering of 
charged and slogan chanting party workers and supporters 
gathered at Minar-e-Pakistan from all parts of Pakistan and 
different countries Friday evening.
Qazi Hussain Ahmad reminded the world that Islam is the 
religion of peace and it was spread all over the world not 
through violence and suppression but through love, tolerance 
and justice. He praised the enthusiastic and courageous JI 
workers for making it possible for hundreds of thousands of 
people from across the country and world to gather at this 
place to renew their energies for spreading message of Islam 
and supporting each other in the face of enemy conspiracies. 
He said by holding a peaceful congregation under uncertain 
circumstances, JI has proved to the world that it is a peace 
loving party and its workers are not frustrated but ready to 
sacrifice everything for establishing justice and peace.
Qazi said the rulers who call themselves democratic and 
elected representatives of the people, must respect the 
resolution of joint parliamentary session calling for halting 
military operation against tribal people and holding 
negotiations for a lasting settlement. He said rulers must 
respect the people's mandate to reverse Gen Musharraf's 
policies and get out of the US coalition, formulate 
independent policies according to the masses' aspirations and 
restore independent judiciary led by chief justice Iftikhar 
Mohammad Chaudhry.
Qazi sahib said PPP government and president Zardari should 
realize that Musharraf government has now gone and people 
want reversal of his pro-American policies. They should take 
a similar U-turn from Musharraf's anti people policies like 
he took one against Taliban to join hands with Americans.
Qazi sahib said government should realize that if fighting 
against America is difficult then fighting against their own 
people is more difficult. He asked government to hold 
Musharraf accountable for his crimes including killing of 
thousands of Jamia Hafsa girls, handing over of hundreds of 
innocent Pakistanis to America, and killing of millions of 
Afghans by supporting American army in invading Afghanistan. 
Qazi Hussain Ahmad demanded of the rulers to support 
Kashmiris' freedom struggle and their right to self 
determination guaranteed by UN resolutions by clearly 
declaring solidarity with Kashmiri freedom fighters. He asked 
president Zardari to take back his reported statement calling 
Kashmiri mujahedin as terrorists.
He said Islamabad should reassure Palestinians that Pakistan 
supports their freedom struggle wholeheartedly and at their 
back, and they will find us at the forefront of any move for 
establishing supremacy of justice and peace in the world. 
Qazi said rulers must establish the image of Pakistan as the 
torch bearer of justice and peace.
Qazi said Muslims are the most victimized and oppressed 
nation in the world since they are being killed, displaced 
and deprived of their homeland, and yet they are being termed 
as terrorists and extremists. Qazi sahib asked the crowd 
which is the biggest terrorist in the world and came a 
roaring reply, "America, America." He said rulers should take 
it as public opinion that America is the biggest terrorist in 
the world and allying with terroritst for so-called war on 
terror is the biggest folly. He said America is attacking and 
killing tribal people from one side while Pakistani army is 
killing them from the other. He said Pakistan's support to 
America is the root cause of major unrest in the world since 
it enabled Washington to attack Afghanistan and Iraq defying 
the world opnion and trampling all laws of justice and norms 
of democracy and decency.
Qazi said unless rulers present themselves before justice, 
justice will never established in the country. He expressed 
regrets that people of the country are suffering from serious 
economic, power, food and energy crises because of corruption 
and dishonesty of rulers. He said Pakistani people are the 
most hardworking and courageous in the world and rebuilding 
the country is no difficult for them provided they have 
honest and able leadership to guide them through crises. He 
asked Pakistani elite, specially the president, prime 
minister, cabinet members and big landlords and 
industrialists to bring back their capital from abroad and 
invest it in their own country to overcome the present 
economic crisis. He said capital is flying fast out of the 
country and it is the foremost duty of the leaders to bring 
back their own capital into the country before asking others 
to invest in Pakistan.
He reminded that unless the independent judiciary comprising 
conscientious judges led by chief justice Iftikhar Mohammad 
Chaudrhy was not restored, neither justice could be 
established in the country nor the financial crisis could be 
overcome. He said Gen Musharraf illegally sacked all the 
judges and then forced them to renounce their cause of 
establishing supremacy of justice. Qazi sahib paid glowing 
tributes to the lawyers community for waging a remarkable and 
unprecedented struggle for establishing independent judiciary 
in the country.
Qazi sahib encouraged party workers and supporters that time 
of trial and trouble is about to be over and a new dawn of 
justice and peace is ready to emerge. He asked the workers to 
take heart, hold fast to the discipline, and spread the 
message of Islam and the party to every household and every 
countrymen after returning from here.
