Ramadan 16,1430/ September 6, 2009, # 43
See photo below of General Musharraf with the King of Saudi 
Arabia and the related protest from New York Muslims.
Dr. Siddique's latest khutba in Baltimore. Which major 
weaknesses of Muslims stop them  from full benefit of 
Ramadan? Some of this might shock you. 
Scroll down to end.
From Imam Badi Ali [Jamaat al-Muslimeen leader, North 
Carolina]:
Spotlight for Ramadan: Think about the great achievements 
possible in Ramadan:
1. Control of desires.
2. Restraint on egos.
3. Blocking raw appetites.
4. Staying away from anger. 
5. End to emotional stress.
If all that is possible for ordinary Muslims, the emergence 
of the Caliphate is also possible, inshallah.
About two days after the U.S. air strike in Kunduz, the fog 
of propaganda lifted. All the 125 people killed 200 wounded 
in the air strike were civilians. None of them were Taliban. 
This could change the situation in the north of Afghanistan.

CHINA's UIGHUR MUSLIMS stopped from Fasting: 20,000 Chinese 
Troops in Urumqi
[With thanks to  Br. Yusuf El-Irlandi, Jamaat al-Muslimeen 
Tennessee:]
Reports from Epoch News, Canada, indicate that the Chinese 
government carried out various strategems to make it very 
difficult, if not impossible, for Muslims in Xingiang 
province to fast.  Steps taken included mandatory meals to 
be taken during the day. Muslims seen to be fasting are 
fired from their jobs.
On September 4, there were demonstrations by Chinese 
Supremacist Han majority in Urumqi. The Hans called on the 
government to take more severe steps against the Muslims. 
Last time the Hans rallied against the Muslims, the Islamic 
demonstrators fought the Hans and thrashed them. This time 
the Hans were supported by the Chinese army which would not 
allow Muslim counter-demonstrations.
[Ed. Note: Asif Ali Zardari, the Shi'ite President of 
Pakistan, visited China and supported the Chinese 
suppression of the Muslims.]
China is steadily losing the support it had around the 
Muslim world. Our observers say one fifth of China is Muslim 
and it is a strategic blunder by China to suppress the 
Muslims by force of arms.

Most Adults Can't Digest Milk
USA Today 
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2009-08-30-lactose-intoerance_N.htm
Got milk? If you do, take a moment to ponder the true 
oddness of being able to drink milk after you're a baby. No 
other species but humans can. And most humans can't either 
... If you're American or European it's hard to realize 
this, but being able to digest milk as an adult is one weird 
genetic adaptation. It's not normal. Somewhat less than 40% 
of people in the world retain the ability to digest lactose 
after childhood. The numbers are often given as close to 0% 
of Native Americans, 5% of Asians, 25% of African and 
Caribbean peoples, 50% of Mediterranean peoples and 90% of 
northern Europeans

Think about it: The recent Massacre of Muslims in Nigeria 
was ignored by leaderless African Americans including 
Muslims.
The poor and the downtrodden are of no interest to many of 
the well to do Muslims of America. New Trend alone exposed 
the massacre of Nigeria's Muslims at the hands of Nigeria's 
criminal army which is funded and armed by the US and 
supported by Israel. African Americans have been so 
mesmerized by the victory of Obama that they cannot see the 
biggest atrocities supported by the White House. With the  
complete sell out of African Americans by W.D. Muhammad and 
the treachery of Siraj Wahhaj, "Imam" HaggMajid etc., 
African American Muslims are drifting and leaderless. 
Without Imam Jamil, the American power structure would be 
completely victorious.
The Boko Haram movement led by Yusuf [shaheed] was right 
about opposition to western cultural intervention. According 
to latest reports [even on CNN], AIDS is spreading in 
Nigeria and now Nigeria is number three in the highest cases 
of AIDS worldwide.
Jamaat al-Muslimeen urges Muslims to Protest General 
Musharraf's Visit to Jewish Music Center in Baltimore, 
Maryland
A Jamaat sister, Sis. Chekeisha El-Amin, has informed us of 
this shameful new Jewish venture against Muslims: Pervez 
Musharraf, former president of Pakistan, will speak on 
September 29 at 8 p.m. at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.
The Meyerhoff is the central show piece of the powerful 
Jewish community in Baltimore. Previously it hosted 
Medeleine Albright and Salman Rushdie. [Remember Jamaat 
al-Muslimeen's rallies, small but potent.]
Musharraf was a tyrant and a traitor to the Muslims of 
Pakistan. His intelligence service is responsible for the 
arrest of hundreds of Muslims, totally innocent, now in 
Guantanamo Bay hell hole. His regime "disappeared" thousands 
of people. His role was key in the US assault on 
Afghanistan.
His commandos, probably under US-Israeli instructions, 
attacked the Red Mosque and the Women's Seminary [Jamia 
Hafsa] in Islamabad.
Meyerhoff is supposed to be a center of art and 
enterainment. Why would it host and honor a murderer and a 
killer? There is no explanation other than Jewish hatred of 
Islam and Pakistan.
Inshallah Jamaat al-Muslimeen will hold a symbolic rally 
outside the Meyerhoff on September 29. All are invited.
Dr. Siddique Interviews Sis. Karima al-Amin.

Breaking News Otis, who confessed to shooting blamed on Imam 
Jamil, giving testimony before Imam's Attorney.
Muslims Launch Legal Challenge for Habeas Corpus and to 
Bring the Imam nearer home from Colorado
Before he was arrested on bogus charges. A  famous photo of 
Imam Jamil with his son [now a grown man]
On September 3, 2009 Br. Kaukab Siddique interviewed Imam 
Jamil's wife and attorney Sis. Karima al-Amin in her office 
in Atlanta, Georgia.  Sis. Karima just returned from a trip 
to Colorado during which she and her son Khairi visited the 
Imam in the maximum security prison in Florence. In answer 
to Dr. Siddique's questions, Sis. Karima made the following 
points:
- 
The government has made it extremely expensive for family to 
visit Imam Jamil by imprisoning him in far away Florence, 
Colorado. We have to fly to Denver and then drive to a town 
next to Florence and take a hotel room there to be able to 
visit him the next day.
 - 
His right to phone calls has been suspended for 60 days 
because he advised his son on the phone to seel greeting 
cards to raise money for his text books.
 - 
We are trying to use legal process to bring him back to 
Georgia or nearby. For this we have attorneys working pro 
bono.
 - 
Our habeas corpus appeal is  underway. For this we 
desperately need funds to pay our team of lawyers. This is 
the way to re-try to case owing to its weak foundations.
 - 
Our attorney is now "deposing" Otis. This is the man who 
confessed that he was responsible for the crime for which 
Imam Jamil was convicted. This should have been done a long 
time back. It's been nine years. This could lead to a major 
break in the case.
 
Br. Siddique's comments:
Otis sent his confession to me and we published it in New 
Trend. Unfortunately reactionary Muslim groups suppressed 
the information and did not let their people know of this 
major development. Otis has asked me to help the Muslims in 
the Florida prison system with Islamic pictures, prayer rugs 
and Islamic information.
A Ramadan Fund to help fight Imam Jamil's case has been set 
up. I urge Muslims to donate $20,000 for this fund. This 
should not be difficult in Ramadan. If your mosque is 
collecting funds for parking lots and nice looking domes and 
turrets, please stop and put your money where it will make a 
difference. The Imam of America is in prison and Muslims are 
busy being misled into spending money on extras or even on 
the medical bills of one of their cult's leaders.
If 20 communities across America collect one thousand 
dollars each, there will be enough money to carry out the 
habeas corpus appeal. Why is this important? Notice that 
Muslims of America, especially African Americans, are 
leaderless. The government knows this and wants to keep Imam 
Jamil in prison on a bogus case which should have been 
thrown out long ago.
Justice Fund set up for Imam Jamil's Legal Defense Fund. 
Donations should be sent to:

Obama: Day 224
Israeli Ambassador and ISNA President at Obama's White House 
Iftar
New Trend Special
September 1, 2009: President Barack Obama hosted an iftar 
meal to honor Muslims and the holy month of Ramadan.
Among those present were Michael Oren, the Israeli 
ambassador to the USA,  Ingrid Mattson, the President of a 
puppet Muslim organization known as ISNA [the so-called 
Islamic Society of North America] and Keith Ellison, the 
Muslim Congressman the Jews trust more than they do other 
Jews.
President Obama made some performa remarks about the 
importance of Muslims in America. He also told a couple of 
stories about the achievements of Muslims in America. One 
story was about a Muslim American who went and fought for 
America in Iraq and was killed there. Looks like the 
President made a blunder there which will offend Muslims in 
America and overseas too. His Jewish advisers, like Rahm 
Emmanuel and Axelrod. probably kept him in the dark about 
Islamic Law which makes it haram for any Muslim to fight as 
part of an imperialist non-Muslim army against Muslims.
It is understandable that Ingrid Mattson was there. ISNA is 
no longer pretending to be a Muslim organization in any way 
which could be linked to the Qur'an and the Hadith. She 
herself worked for years as part of a missionary 
organization in Hartford. Her boss was Israeli.
What is more surprising is the presence of the Israeli 
ambassador. What does the terrorist entity known as Israel 
have to do with Iftar? Perhaps Emmanuel and Axelrod have 
convinced President Obama that Israel is a Muslim country! 
After all some Arabs still live there as second class 
citizens, and bedouins being exploited by Israel are Muslims 
too.
Why did Obama hold the iftar party? Isn't he the commander 
in chief of the forces which are bombing Muslims in 
Afghanistan and Pakistan? Isn't he sending billions of 
dollars to Israel, the yearly dole or tax on Americans to 
keep Israel alive? Isn't he blocking Islamic rule in Somalia 
and northern Nigeria? Wasn't he pleased with the massacre of 
Muslims carried out by the U.S.backed-and-armed Nigerian 
army?
It is not improbable that Emmaneul and Axelrod have 
convinced Obama that Muslims are chumps. You can bomb their 
Islamic schools [medressas], you can kill their leaders and 
their people, you can honor their torturers like Hosni 
Mubarak, but as soon as you offer them iftar, they'll come 
running.

Israeli Jews Commit Daily Atrocities against Defenseless 
Palestinians: Sample from One Day
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) strongly 
condemns the willful killing of a 15-year-old Palestinian 
child by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). The attack 
occurred yesterday, 31 August 2009, near the entrance of 
al-Jalazoun refugee camp, north of Ramallah.  
According to investigations conduced by PCHR, at 
approximately 21:30 on Monday, 31 August 2009, IOF troops 
stationed at a military observation tower inside "Beit Eil" 
settlement, north of Ramallah, opened fire at five 
Palestinian children who were near al-Jalazon UNRWA School, 
located near the southeastern entrance of al-Jalazoun 
refugee camp. One of the children, 15-year-old Mohammed Riad 
Nayef 'Elayan, was wounded by three bullets to the chest.  
An ambulance from Sheikh Zayed Hospital in Ramallah 
attempted to reach the area. However, the ambulance was 
stopped by at least 30 soldiers who prevented the medical 
crew from attending to the wounded child.  Meanwhile, dozens 
of Palestinian civilians gathered on the spot and attempted 
to help the wounded child, but Israeli soldiers fired tear 
gas canisters at the crowd. The ambulance driver, Usama 
Hassan Ibrahim al-Najjar, 37, was hit by a tear gas canister 
to the left leg.  'Ali Ahmed Mohammed Nakhla, 29, also 
sustained similar injuries

Pakistan: War News
Military Death Squads Executed 250 "Suspected" Pak Taliban 
since July 13, 2009
September 3, 2009: In Swat, according to the BBC, more than 
250 bodies of "suspected" Pak Taliban have been found since 
July 13 when the army started bringing back refugees 
displaced by the fighting. The killing seems to have been 
done execution style with the persons' hands tied behind 
their backs. Various Pakistani human rights groups have 
exptressed serious concern that the army is retaliating for 
its losses at the hands of the Taliban. 
The bodies have seemingly been left behind by the army to be 
"discovered" by the returning refugees. The idea seems to be 
to terrorize the returnees so that they never again think of 
supporting the Pak Taliban. There are indications that the 
dead were "captured"by the army at random from homes from 
where any resistance was directed at the army.
General Athar Abbas, the Shi'ite spokesman of the army, 
vehemently denies the executions.
Islamic sources says that the numbers of those executed by 
the army is probably much larger as there are signs of mass 
graves in the areas "conquered" by the army.
Pak Army Clears way for NATO Re-supply: Public Resistance in 
Khyber Agency hit Hard. 43 Killed.
September 1 to 5, 2009: Pakistan military launched an all 
out attack on populations living in the Khyber agency [entry 
point into Afghanistan] suspected of supporting the Taliban. 
[See previous New Trend for attack on Torkhum military 
post.]
The people here are not Taliban but many of them support a 
local group known as Lashkare Islam and they carry light 
weapons, mostly antiquated. 
The army targeted Lashkare Islam's headquaters and smashed 
it. The full weight of the military [helicopter gunships, 
tanks, heavy artillery] was delivered against the local 
groups. At least 43 people supporting the Laskare Islam have 
been killed.
At least 15 homes of local Islamic notables were set on fire 
by the army. [Home destruction is copied from Israel and 
violates international law.] .
The area has been cleared for re-supply of NATO. However, 
the local people may now join the Taliban and learn how to 
fight back.
15 NATO Supply Trucks Set on Fire
September 1, 2009: In Baluchistan, at the Chaman entry point 
into Afghanistan, a long line of large NATO re-supply trucks 
and containers were waiting for border bureaucracy to clear 
them when Pak Taliban raiders attacked. One of the trucks 
was set on fire. The fire spread to other trucks. By  the 
end of the night, 15 of the bulky supply vehicles had been 
consumed by the flames.The Pak Taliban escaped.
Pak Cadets Hit by Martyrdom Operator
August 31, 2009: In Mingora, the capital of Swat, a 
martyrdom operator sneaked over the compound wall of a 
police academy where Pak occupation forces were training new 
recruits. As the young man blew himself up, 16 of the cadets 
were killed and 8 wounded. The Pak regimime is very upset as 
it had announced that the Pak Taliban in Swat had been 
crushed.
Sinister Attack in Hasan Abdal
September 5, 2009: Three policemen guarding a bridge at 
Hasan Abdal, 50 km west of Islamabad, were killed late at 
night. Looks like they were taken by surprise.

Swedish Daily Hits Back at Critics of Israel Organ Harvest 
Story
Haaretz (Israel) 
http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasen/spages/1108604.html
A Swedish newspaper provoked outrage in Israel and drew 
condemnation from Sweden's ambassador on Wednesday after it 
ran a story on transplant organ theft, a report an Israeli 
official branded anti-Semitic "hate porn". The editor of 
Aftonbladet, Sweden's largest daily newspaper, hit back 
hard, at both Israel and at the Swedish envoy for attacking 
his paper's coverage. Donald Boström, the Swedish journalist 
whose article accusing Israel Defense Forces soldiers of 
killing Palestinians to obtain their organs evoked outrage, 
denied on Tuesday that he was motivated by anti-Semitism. 
Afghanistan/Pakistan, Where Empires Go to Die - II
"... the Taliban insurgency has gotten better, and more 
sophisticated, in their tactics" [Admiral Mullen.]
By Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III
Under the pretext of responding to the September 11, 2001 
attacks in America, the United and States and Great Britain 
invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001 under the banner of 
Operation Enduring Freedom.  President Bush 41' told the 
American people that the US strikes were, 
"...designed to disrupt the use of Afghanistan as a 
terrorist base of operations, and to attack the military 
capability of the Taliban regime...we will make it more 
difficult for the terror network to train new recruits and 
coordinate their evil plans. Initially, the terrorists may 
burrow deeper into caves and other entrenched hiding 
places...At the same time, the oppressed people of 
Afghanistan will know the generosity of America and our 
allies. As we strike military targets, we will also drop 
food, medicine and supplies to the starving and suffering 
men and women and children of Afghanistan ... "
I believe that this tactic was taken by the Obama team in 
order to placate the anti-Iraq contingent of the American 
electorate on the left while not leaving himself vulnerable 
to the "soft on defense" hawkish argument on the right.  As 
a campaign tactic this approach proved to be successful.  In 
reality, this may prove to be one of the greatest 
miscalculations President Obama has made.  The real question 
here becomes, what's the best tactic to accomplish this end? 
According to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
Admiral Mike Mullen, the situation in Afghanistan/Pakistan, 
"... is serious and it is deteriorating...the Taliban 
insurgency has gotten better, and more sophisticated, in 
their tactics..."  To this end, according to the Defense 
Department, as of Tuesday, August 25, 2009, 724 members of 
the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and 
Uzbekistan as a result of Operation Enduring Freedom.  Of 
those, 548 troops were killed by hostile action.
The top American commander in the region, General Stanley A. 
McChrystal continues to work on a major war strategy review 
and has yet to request additional troops above those already 
added by President Obama.  There are currently 57,000 
American soldiers and Marines in Afghanistan, well below 
what that commanders need to "win in Afghanistan".
The military problem is also compounded by deteriorating 
political reality.  As with the elections in Iran, voting 
irregularities and accusations of fraud in Afghanistan are 
raising political tensions and destabilizing the political 
infrastructure with the country and region.  What could make 
the reported irregularities more problematic in Afghanistan 
than Iran are the ethnic divisions that run deep within 
their culture.  President Karzi is a member of the Pashtun 
group.  The Pashtun's control the south which is a 
stronghold of the Taliban.  Karzai's major challenger Dr. 
Abdullah's support is based in the more peaceful north, 
which is dominated by Tajiks and other ethnic groups.  If 
the basis of disenfranchisement is perceived to fall along 
ethnic lines, such divisions could be very difficult to 
resolve.
Since 2001, in spite of President Bush and now President 
Obama's noble speeches and military tactics, the US and its 
allies have not "disrupt(ed) the use of Afghanistan as a 
terrorist base of operations".  The US has not been able to 
successfully "attack the military capability of the Taliban 
regime".  President Obama and his advisors should learn from 
history, some ancient some modern, and not repeat it.  This 
is the region of the world that has never been defeated 
militarily.  It is where empires go to die.  The Greeks, 
Indians, Persians, Mongolians, British, and Russians have 
tried to hold Afghanistan but never succeeded
While, according to Admiral Mullen, the insurgents tactics 
have "gotten better, and more sophisticated..." US 
tacticians remain mired in the same failed logic and 
processes.   The US and its allies could "disrupt the use of 
Afghanistan as a terrorist base of operations, and attack 
the military capability of the Taliban regime..." if more of 
the oppressed people of Afghanistan came to "...know the 
generosity of America and our allies."  If America actually 
dropped more "...food, medicine and supplies to the starving 
and suffering men and women and children of Afghanistan..." 
than munitions, political as well as military conflicts 
could be easier to resolve.
The problem with this solution is that those who fuel and 
promote the military industrial complex in America do not 
profit from the sale of humanitarian assistance.  They 
profit from war. You can't win by just replacing Alexander 
the Greats war elephants with F-18 fighter jets and drones. 
This is why, if America is not smart, Afghanistan/Pakistan 
will once again be where empires go to die.

General Musharraf with King Abdullah of "Saudi" Arabia: 
September 3, 2009. The King does not want the criminal who 
attacked the Red Mosque to be put on trial.
Why Is Saudi Arabia Coddling Dictator Musharraf?
It has just been announced that King Abdullah of Saudi 
Arabia has sent his private plane to pick up Dictator 
Musharraf from his London mansion to bring him to Saudi 
Arabia for talks. 
We do not understand why King Abdullah would bring 
Musharraf, the Sharon of Pakistan (who together with his 
crony generals sold the country to U.S. imperialism, ran 
over the Constitution of the country, butchered and 
disappeared the people such as Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and is the 
most hated man in our country), to Saudi Arabia, unless this 
meeting was arranged by the CIA.
Saudi Arabia has always been there for the people of 
Pakistan, as well as the people of Palestine and of other 
Muslim countries, when they needed help financially. 
Therefore we are surprised at this act, which is a stab in 
the back to the people of Pakistan and a conspiracy designed 
to erode the solidarity that exists between the people of 
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
This is an insult to the movement that struggled for the 
last eight years against Musharraf to remove him as 
dictator. We demand that the Pakistani government protest 
this interference in Pakistan's internal affairs, as 
Musharraf's situation is currently before the courts as a 
serious violation of the Constitution. We also call on the 
opposition parties, especially the party of Nawaz Sharif, 
who had been a guest of King Abdullah in the hard times when 
he had been exiled by Dictator Musharraf, to join in this 
protest. Pakistan is a poor but honorable and independent 
country, with laws, courts, and a Constitution, and the 
feeling of its people must be respected.
We will be calling on members of the Pakistani community, 
and all those who love democracy and are against 
dictatorships, to come out to the Saudi Arabian consulates 
in protest. 
We also ask the Saudi government to release the immigrant 
workers of Pakistan and other countries who have been 
manipulated into coming to work for high wages and then have 
been arrested for being without papers, as so many 
immigrants are arrested here in the U.S. We know that King 
Abdullah wants to modernize his country, and the 
Pakistan-USA Freedom Forum hope that the Saudi people will 
be able to form a civilized government, chosen by the 
people, rather than having to live under a family 
monarchy.

WAR NEWS: AFGHANISTAN
US Air Attack on Abandoned Oil Tankers Killed 125 Civilians 
Wounded 200: German Military Called in US Air Force
On September 3, 2009 a Taliban group hijacked two large oil 
tankers coming from Tajikistan into Kunduz [northern 
Afghanistan] to supply NATO occupation forces. Both drivers 
were killed in the shootout but when the Taliban tried to 
drive the big tankers off the road, they got stuck in the 
mud. Soon people from nearby villages gathered to look at 
the tankers. The Taliban opened up the valves of the trucks, 
allowed the villagers to take the expensive oil, and the 
Taliban left.
Within hours, the crowd of villagers grew to about 500 and 
they kept collecting oil into the night. At about 2.30 AM on 
September 4, the US air force F15Es bombed the tankers with 
500 pound bombs, creating a ball of fire. The death toll is 
said to be high. The Karzai group which rules Kunduz with 
German military help has admitted 90 civilians killed and 
more than 200 wounded.
The German military which called in the air strike claimed 
right off that ALL those killed were Taliban. However, as 
reports from villagers and Karzai's local officials came in, 
it became clear that those killed were civilians. [The total 
Taliban force in Kunduz is estimated at less than 100.] 
[Taliban spokesman categorically stated that not one Talib 
was killed in the air strike.]
The UN has expressed concern that the US air force did not 
try to check the presence of civilians. Karzai himself is 
very worried. First he put the death toll at 40 as if that 
is low! The concern of both the UN and Karzai is that 
finally the people of Kunduz will join the Taliban. Already 
they have become much more hospitable to the Taliban than 
they were last year.
For truth in media. the most important report was from the 
villages  where the air strike took place. Distributed by 
Associated Press, it was ignored by the US media. Here it 
is:
"Abdul Moman Omar Khel, member of the Kunduz provincial 
council and a native of the village where the airstrike 
happened, said about 500 people from surrounding villages 
swarmed the stricken trucks. 
He said villagers told him insurgents had invited them to 
help themselves to the fuel.
"The Taliban called to the villagers 'Come take free fuel,'" 
he said, and the prospect of free fuel must have been 
irresistable. "The people are so hungry and poor."
He said five people were killed from a single family, and a 
man he knows named Haji Gul Bhuddin lost three sons." 
[New Trend comments: Our observers say that US attacks on 
civilians are not mistakes or blunders. The US does not 
admit it openly on but it knows that the people of 
Afghanistan support the Taliban. US attacks on civilians 
should be seen as state terrorism meant to intimidate 
Afghans and warn them against siding with the Taliban. The 
US, with its Zionist media people and bloodthirsty 
bureaucrats like Secretary Gates and General Petraeus  and 
"ambassador" Holbrooke do not tell Obama that they can't 
intimidate Afghans. The Taliban are Islamic fighters and 
terrorism by air force will only infuriate them.
Also, why is the GERMAN MILITARY in Afghanistan? The excuse 
of "democracy" and "helping the Afghan people" is a very 
thin veil for militarism and crusader mentality coming from 
Angela Merkel [the angela of death]. There is no real 
democracy or freedom in Germany. Scholars like Zundel and 
Germar Rudolf and several thousand German citizens are/were 
in prison for "thinking" that the Jewish story of the 
holocaust is not accurate. German military using the US air 
force to kill civilians and then claiming in a blatant lie  
that those killed were Taliban indicates an effort to hide a 
genocidal action for which Angela Merkel should be taken to 
international court.]
Karzai Intelligence Official involved in Torture, Rape and 
Murder Killed in Taliban Martyrdom Attack
Sept. 2, 2009. At Mehterlam, in Laghman province east of 
Kabul, a martyrdom operator successfully breached security, 
entered a group of Karzai officials and hangers on and 
killed 22 people. The target of the attack, Abdullah 
Laghmani, along with three of his top 'intelligence service' 
bosses, was among those killed. Mr. Laghmani was known for 
his atrocities against Taliban prisoners and persons 
suspected of supporting the Taliban. Earlier, he was in 
charge of Karzai's administration in Kandahar where he 
became notorious for the rape, torture and murder of Islamic 
opponents. Kandahar is the stronghold of Mullah Omar's 
supporters.
Our observers say Karzai officials use religion as a cover 
for supporting NATO's occupation. Abdullah Laghmani was 
preparing to inaugurate a mosque when the attack took place. 
The idea that one can pray and fast and still be linked to 
imperialist occupation forces is not discussed by Karzai's 
propaganda machine but it does discredit him and his 
men.
Latest Revolutionary Khutba
from Br. Kaukab Siddique
Major Weaknesses of Muslims Undermine Spirit of Ramadan
On September 4, 2009 Dr. Kaukab Siddique gave the juma' 
khutba and led prayers at Masjid Jamaat al-Muslimeen in 
Baltimore, Maryland. The following are the main points of 
his khutba for dissemination across the country. Hopefully 
other khateebs will pick up these points.
Text:  "Alif Lam Mim. Do people think that they will be left 
alone on saying "we believe" and that they will not be 
tested? We did test those before them, and Allah will 
certainly know those who are true from those who are false. 
Do the evildoers think they can escape Us? How ill they 
judge." [The Qur'an 29: 1-4]
Text 2: The Prophet, pbuh, asked his daughter  Fatima, r.a.: 
"Do you love me?" She replied: "yes." "Then," he said, 
pointing to Ayesha, r.a., "love the one I love." [Hadith, 
Sunan of Nasai']
- 
Ramadan is very difficult for most Muslims although we are 
blessed by Ramadan and we try hard to fast.
 - 
American Muslims who embraced Islam as their choice are 
especially blessed because they get their Islam directly 
from the Qur'an and authentic hadith.
 - 
In most Muslim countries, however,in Ramadan Muslims keep 
awake most of the night and sleep most of the day. Offices 
do not open on time and close early. Work slows down and 
duties are not fulfilled, all on the excuse of Ramadan.
 - 
Why is Ramadan such a hard trial for many Muslims? Why do 
they seem to struggle so hard?
 - 
The main reason is that many Muslims do not fulfil their 
obligatory [fard] prayers during most of the year. They also 
ignore the Sunnahs. In Ramadan they try not only to fulfil 
the obligations but are suddenly into nafl or taraweeh 
prayers.
 - 
Most of the year they hardly ever fast and then suddenly 
they have to fast for 30 straight days. This would not be 
difficult for us if we followed the Sunnah. The Prophet, 
pbuh, used to fast on Mondays and Thursday. Sometimes he 
would fast three days in a week. He would also fast on 
special days in Muharram, Sha'aban and Zul hijjah. Also he 
would encourage Muslims to fast to expiate their sins.
 - 
If we were trying even a little of the Sunnah, Ramadan would 
be easy for us.
 - 
Then we have this problem of feasting throughout Ramadan. We 
have mosques where the well to do communities have iftar 
specials EVERY day. Others have community iftars on 
weekends. Others have fun eating privately. Thus the month 
of fasting is distorted by Muslims into a month of feasting, 
making a mockery of the poverty and suffering of our poor 
families in Africa, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, India etc.
The Prophet, pbuh, has taught us to fill only ONE THIRD of 
the stomach with food, one third with water and the rest 
should be empty, but we stuff ourselves.
 - 
The Nafl prayers are followed by many as if they are Fard. 
In Pakistan, when America first bombed our neighbors 
Afghanistan, the general running Pakistan was afraid that 
the Muslims would be provoked but nothing happened because 
Pakistanis kept praying 20 taraweehs and 3 witr [as their 
school of thought commanded] right through the bombing of 
their Afghan family.
 - 
By contrast, the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, carried out some of 
his greatest battles in Ramadan. The battle of Badr, which 
was decisive for Islam, was fought in Ramadan. The Muslims, 
outnumbered three t one, defeated the oppressors and killed 
their great chiefs such as Abu Jahl.
 - 
Then, years later, again in Ramadan, the Prophet, pbuh, 
conquered the city of Makkah which had persecuted and 
disowned him. Owing to the spirit of jihad, tens of 
thousands had joined the banner of Islam. Abu Sufian was 
astounded when he saw the camp fires of the Islamic army 
that Ramadan
 - 
This Ramadan, let us change our lives. Stop feasting and 
start  caring for the Ummah. The rich feeding the rich and 
growing fat is not an Islamic concept.
 
Part 2 of the khutba:
- 
In the verses about Ramadan, Allah teaches us that sexual 
intercourse is permitted at night. Muslims often do not read 
the verses carefully and miss the words about the equality 
and mutuality of the male female relationships. The Qur'an 
uses a beautiful metaphor to explain this relationship in a 
few words:
 - 
"They are your garments and you are their garments." [The 
Qur'an 2:187] There is MUTUALITY here, not superiority or 
inferiority.
 - 
In every aspect of the struggle and mission of Muhammad, 
pbuh, women were decisively involved, all the way from 
Khadija, r.a., to Ayesha, r.a., to Umm Warqah, r.a., to 
Hafsa, r.a., to Fatima, r.a.
 - 
We are living in America where the family system is under 
attack. The behavior manipulated by the mass media has 
trivialized the attitudes men have towards women. Horrendous 
crimes are being committed against women while battering of 
women is hardly news.
 - 
We Muslims are influenced by the colonial history we have 
undergone. We have still not accepted women as essential 
partners in our efforts.
 - 
The most outrageous example of this symbolic discrininarion 
occurs every Ramadan when the anniversay of Ali, r.a., is 
remembered while the anniversary of Ayesha, r.a. is not even 
mentioned..Ali was the son of Abu Talib who was not a 
Muslim. Ayesha was the daughter of Abu Bakr, r.a. and never 
knew kufr.
 - 
What does this say about us? Ali, r.a., was of course a 
great Muslim, brave and gracious. But who was Ayesha, r.a.? 
Do we not know that Allah Almighty himself honors Ayesha, 
r.a., in the Qur'an. Nothing comparable for Ali, r.a. Read 
Sura Noor [chapter 24]  The rights of women, the dignity of 
women, the blessings of women were revealed related to 
Ayesha', r.a.
 - 
Religious doctrine was revealed related to Ayesha', r.a. 
Read the verses about Tayyamum [ablution without water] and 
what was the context of their revelation.
 - 
Ayesha, r.a., was the great teacher of Hadith. Even the 
senior male sahaba came to her to find out about religious 
rulings. She would be seen in her hijab in the days of Hajj 
answering the questions of Muslims from all over the 
world.
 - 
Tell our daughters, wives, sisters, mothers about Ayesha, 
r.a, and all the great women of Islam so that they may have 
Islamic role models and not be seduced by the devil who is 
busy all  around us.
 
Dua': May Allah forgive our sins and shortcomings. May Allah 
accept our fasting and our prayer. O Allah give victory to 
the Islamic forces in Afghanistan against NATO, O Allah help 
the Muslims of Iraq to complete their victory against US 
imperialism, O Allah help the Muslims of Somalia to complete 
their victory, O Allah help the Muslims of Pakistan to 
defeat and drive out the agents of kufr. O Allah strengthen 
the Muslims of Palestine against the Jews, the Muslims of 
Kashmir against the Hindus.
Give us success in this world and give us success in the 
Hereafter. Ameen. Summa Ameen.
