Verse of the Week
"O you who believe! do not violate the signs appointed by 
Allah nor the sacred month, nor interfere with the 
offerings, nor the sacrificial animals with garlands, nor 
those going to the sacred house seeking the grace and 
pleasure of their Lord; and when you are free from the 
obligations of the pilgrimage, then hunt, and let not the 
hatred of people - because they hindered you from the Sacred 
Masjid - incite you to exceed the limits, and help one 
another in goodness and piety, and do not help one another 
in sin and aggression; and be careful of your duty to Allah; 
surely Allah is severe in requiting evil."
-Holy Qur'an 5:2

Great News: Muslims Rallying to the Defense of Ayesha 
Siddiqa [r.a]
By Br. Kaukab Siddique
"Those who slander chaste, indiscreet and believing women, 
are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter. For them is a 
grievous Chastisement." (The Qur'an 24:23)
Saudi Arabia's top religious authority, Darul Ifta, last 
month issued a FATWA condemning attacks on the Mother of the 
Believers, the daughter of Abu Bakr, r.a., the beloved wife 
of Muhammad, pbuh, Ayesha Siddiqa, r.a.
The FATWA came after a Shi'ite from Kuwait attacked Ayesha, 
r.a. He is living under British protection in London. Many 
Shi'as have been slandering Ayesha, r.a., probably because 
she opposed the problematic caliphate of Ali, r.a., but this 
time the Saudis responded. We congratulate and thank 
them.
The angry responses throughout the Middle East to the 
Kuwaiti Shi'ite's attack on the best of women after  Maryam, 
r.a., alerted the Iranians, and Ayatollah Khamene'i issued a 
ruling forbidding Shi'as from attacking Ayesha, r.a. This is 
hopeful news. Hopefully the Sh'ites will listen to the 
Ayatollah.
I urge the Muslims to look at the Zionists and right wing 
extremists who routinely insult Ayesha, r.a., and slander 
the Prophet, pbuh, in the process. These enemies of Islam, 
the Zionist Jews, are indulging in blasphemy against Ayesha, 
r.a., which no Muslim can tolerate. It is an attack on all 
Muslim women whose leader is Ayesha, r.a., the Mother of the 
Believers.
Ayesha, r.a., orator, poet, teacher, scholar, narrator of 
Hadith, saintly in her behavior, pious to the extreme, 
generous without limits, leader of men and women, is the 
target of the enemies of Islam and sectarians of various 
brands.
This assault on a woman, whom the Qur'an extols, was begun 
by Salman Rushdie, the darling of many American Jews. To the 
Shi'ites, I would say, Ali, r.a., whipped those who insulted 
Ayesha, r.a. If you are real Shi'ites, whip those among you 
who are insulting our Mother. If those countless millions 
who honor Ayesha, r.a., turn against Shi'ites, your 
situation will be untenable.

Innocent Muslims have little Awareness of  Zionist Moves
On November 12 at Masjid Nur, Jamaat al-Muslimeen's 
literature was given to 51 people after Juma' salat. There 
were 4 pages including Dr. Shabazz' brilliant analysis of 
Zionism as a form of racism plus the Islamic Shoora's 
resolutions against Israel and on opposition to US wars 
against Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan. One resolution 
rejects censorship of holocaust revisionism. Sis. Nadrat's 
introduction to Sis. Karima al-Amin's interview was included 
with a referral to the full text on the New Trend web 
site.
The last page reported on Jamaate Islami Pakistan's expose 
of Obama's visit to India.
This Masjid is located in White Marsh, 15 minutes south of 
Baltimore. The imam is a soft spoken Syrian who puts people 
to sleep with his morality stories. He has a track record of 
not speaking against kuffar and oppressors. Most of the 
crowd is Arab, very quiet, with a sprinkling of Pakistanis 
and a very few African Americans.

"Take the Qur'an for Guidance in all Matters"
A Talk with Islamic School Students
On November 7, the day after the Shoora, Imam Badi Ali 
invited Dr. Kaukab Siddique and Sis. Kristi to speak to 
young people at the Islamic Sunday School in Greensboro, 
North Carolina. Both the senior and junior classes consisted 
of students from various Middle Eastern countries.
Br. Kaukab talked to the students about the role of young 
people in the life of the Prophet, pbuh, and in the 
narration of Hadith. He gave examples from the lives of Ali, 
Ayesha, Abdullah ibn Zubair, Abdullah ibn Umar, Abdullah ibn 
Abbas (Allah be pleased with them all) to show the 
importance of the very young people in Islam. He also gave 
them examples to show how persuasive is America's mass 
culture and how it targets youths and makes them slowly 
drift away from Islam.
The students were enthusiastic about Sis. Kristi's 
presentation. A recent convert to Islam from Texas, she is 
well versed in the Bible and excited about the Qur'an.  Sis. 
Kristi urged the students to rely on the Qur'an for truth 
and encouraged them to reaffirm what they're told about 
Islam by searching the Qur'an and authentic Hadith to ensure 
accuracy. Sometimes, she said, people who teach about Islam 
take for granted that they know Islam but do not take the 
time to show their students supporting  texts. In reply to 
questions, she supported the duty of parents to be strict 
and to teach their children obedience to Islam so their 
lives can be shaped Islamically at a very early age, 
including hijab. Without discipline, the best outcome is not 
possible.  She concluded by saying that although we may not 
understand or even agree with all of the 'rules' of Islam, 
Allah knows best and we must believe He has given us right 
guidance, and our belief is displayed in our obedience.

Jamaat al-Muslimeen Congratulates Imam Badi Ali on 
Organizing Successful National Islamic Shoora
The November meeting of Jamaat al-Muslimeen's Islamic Shoora 
Council was held in Greensboro, NC. The host was Imam Badi 
Ali. He is imam of an important mosque in the area. He has 
an effective team of workers and is influential in the 
Muslim community.
The arrangements were efficient and discounted by local 
Muslim businesses. The halal meals were delicious, and 
included Moroccan and Palestinian cuisine. The prayers were 
on time and led by Dr. Abdulalim Shabazz, the philosopher of 
the Jamaat who also recited verses from the Qur'an for the 
concluding d'ua.
Imam Badi Ali is a human rights activist who wants a 
peaceful solution to the problems facing the Muslim ummah. 
He is anti-war and is a strong critic of Zionism and 
imperialism. He carries out in depth critique of US foreign 
policy. He is trusted and loved by the Muslim community in 
the area owing to his total commitment to service and 
compassionate outreach.
Owing to the countrywide Zionist and right wing extremist 
attacks on Br. Kaukab Siddique, Imam Badi insisted on and 
received near full attendance by the Shoora members for this 
meeting. Jamaat al-Muslimeen congratulates him and his team 
for their hard work in bringing together a successful 
Shoora.

What are Spiritual Requirements and Character Needed for 
Islamic Work?
At the National Islamic Shoora of JAM, November 6, Br. 
Shamim Siddiqui's books were gifted to the Shoora activists. 
Sixty copies of these books were handed out by the activist 
and elder Sis. Ashira, Secretary General, on behalf of JAM's 
masjid in Baltimore. The titles of seven of these books 
are:

Br. Shamim Siddiqui is an elderly scholar from what used to 
be East Pakistan. He lives in Long Island, New York. As far 
as we know, he has done more Da'wa work in America than 
anyone else. He has produced  a whole range of literature 
which is very valuable in spite of some technical errors and 
typos.
Bogus Trial of JFK "terrorists."
Two Muslims Trapped by Informant, Convicted.
Jamaat al-Muslimeen's Shoora has been informed of the bogus 
trial of Defrietas and Abdul Kadir who were entrapped by an 
informant into what came to be known as Jfk plot.
The story is like a bad joke. The informant, Stevan Francis, 
infiltrated the Muslims and made the Muslims say things 
which could be construed to mean that they wanted to attack 
JFK International airport.
How anyone could blow up an airport, when he has no military 
training, was actually believed by the American court. The 
two have been convicted and face life in prison.
A third Muslim is yet to be convicted in the same case. They 
are good Shi'ite Muslims and wanted to get help from Iran to 
set up schools. That is their real crime.
"Genocide means any of the following acts committed with 
intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, 
ethnical, racial, or religious group: ....Causing serious 
bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately 
inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to 
bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part..."

Youth Justice Sunday
By Nadrat Siddique
October 31, 2010
Baltimore, MD-It was the perfect day to break some chains. 
Hundreds of people rallied outside Paul Lawrence Dunbar High 
School, in the heart of black community and just blocks away 
from Baltimore's infamous Central Booking detention 
facility. They were protesting the building of a new youth 
prison. If construction goes on as planned, this would be 
the city's ninth prison, built absent any mandate from the 
majority black population. But Baltimore's prison building 
rampage would not end there. Plans are underway for the 
subsequent building of a tenth prison, this one for women. 
Under a fluttering red, black, and green Afrocentric flag, 
religious, student and community leaders condemned the 
city's plan to jail the youth instead of educating them. The 
event began with the singing of the Black Anthem "Lift Every 
Voice." Then Deverick Murray, a Towson University student, 
popularly known as the Political Poet, took the stage. 
Stating the rally's goals in verse, he said:
"I greet you today and bring you our purpose,
Assuring you that under this alliance not one thing can hurt 
us.
With steadfast hearts, and no distractions may divert us. 
We are here today not only to stop this youth jail,
But to convince us, to construct plans
Knowing that if God, Allah, and the elders are here,
Then the world can be against us.
We are here to let the state know we have ran out of fear 
And showing that we will stand together to protect what we 
hold dear.
We are here because they had enough money for jails,
But they had no interest in making sure that we don't 
fail...."
Youth energies fueled the protest. Leamon Harris, of Leaders 
of a Beautiful Struggle, which organized the protest along 
with the Kinetics Faith and Justice Network, the Baltimore 
Algebra Project, and other groups, said that even the best 
inner city schools were a continuum of institutionalized 
racism. Speaking of black student athletes, he said "They 
become slaves to the brands at a young age because they are 
mentally colonized, helping a government that doesn't 
support them or their people unless they play the game. What 
if they stopped playing football or basketball until 
construction of the youth jail was stopped, or the police 
officers taken out of the schools, or classes that offered a 
real discussion of black history put in place?"
Deverick Murray wrote a powerful rap in support of the 
event, entitled "I'll be Damned" (referring to the resolve 
of the protest organizers against the locking up of the 
youth). It circulated broadly on Facebook and elsewhere 
leading up to the event. Murray, Harris, and Towson 
University student leader Adam Jackson successfully 
mobilized large numbers of high school and college students 
for the protest.
The event was emceed by its chief organizer, Afrocentric 
pastor and community leader Heber Brown. Brown is known for 
his courageous and outspoken stance on many issues, and has 
spoken at rallies against Israeli attacks on Gaza.
A few days prior to Youth Justice Sunday, Pastor Brown and 
two companions stood with megaphones outside an endorsement 
party hosted by a local chapter of AFSME [a major U.S. labor 
union—editor] for Mayor O'Malley. As O'Malley passed, they 
called out: "Gov. O'Malley, what about the $104 million 
dollar youth jail? Can you speak to that sir? Yeah back to 
slavery for black children?" An AFSME representative 
approached the pastor, and wagging his finger at him, told 
Brown he was being "tacky" by challenging the governor. 
Since the pastor and his companions had officially been 
invited to the endorsement party, they went inside. Once 
inside, they were cornered by the AFSME director and his 
assistants, and threateningly ordered to leave the building. 
At the rally, it was clear that the Pastor was not fazed by 
the gestapo tactics. Youth Justice Sunday, he proclaimed, 
was about self-determination for black people.
Delegate Jill Carter, the rare local politician who'd 
accepted Pastor Brown's invitation to speak, took her turn 
at the mic. Jared Ball, of Voxunion—a D.C.-based independent 
media collective—spoke. In the audience were Maria Allwine, 
Green Party candidate for Maryland governor; Jack Young, 
City Council president; and Dr. Ray Winbush of Morgan State 
University, internationally acclaimed reparations activist 
and author,
Then Min. Carlos Muhammad came to the stage.
He is Louis Farrakhan's Baltimore representative, based out 
of Muhammad Mosque No. 1. The mosque is located on the 3200 
block of Garrison Boulevard. Much of the boulevard is 
impoverished, a showcase of slums (Indians and Pakistanis 
are amongst the biggest slum lords), liquor stores 
(frequently Arab owned), and cheesy corner markets (Korean 
owners, with their exorbitantly priced goods, hidden behind 
protective bars). The mosque has worked to uplift area youth 
for years, ridding the neighborhood of much of its vice. But 
a mile or so down the road from the mosque, drugs, alcohol, 
and prostitution are rampant.
The minister accompanied on stage by his wife and two FOI 
(Fruit of Islam), greeted the people with "As-salaam 
alaikom." He asked for a show of hands by those who had a 
family member, close friend, or loved one in prison. Easily 
two-thirds of the crowd raised their hands. With the air of 
a battle-hardened warrior, he offered words of encouragement 
to the crowd before leaving the stage.
Six Baltimore Algebra Project youth took the stage.
The Algebra Project is a youth advocacy group which provides 
highly effective peer-to-peer tutoring for inner city youth. 
But BAP doesn't only tutor. When I moved back to Baltimore 
around 2002, I was astonished to find very young students 
from the organization blocking the streets to call attention 
to the glaring disparities within the education system and 
racism in the schools. They were articulate, organized, 
disciplined, and unrelenting in their demands.
The youth began with solemn speeches, holding the complete 
attention of the crowd. Then, three of them broke into 
melodic chants: "Don't build it, don't build it, O' Malley 
check the rally." Red "X"s, plastered on the jackets of 
Algebra Project members and supporters, swayed gently to the 
melody. One of BAP's talented young hiphop artists 
performed. It was dusk, and the crowd seemed energized.
Adam Jackson, Towson University student and Leaders of a 
Beautiful Struggle activist, spoke briefly. Then Rev. Kinji 
Scott, told the crowd, "We tired of 
being shoved around! Are you ready? You ain't ready! If 
you're ready, follow me!"
Scott, Jackson, Murray, and others led the march to the site 
of the proposed youth prison, chanting "Educate, don't 
incarcerate!" The procession stretched for several blocks, 
finally arriving at a vacant lot, encircled by a fence—the 
site of the proposed youth prison. A sign read "State 
Property."
In a dramatic action, reminiscent of the Storming of the 
Bastille, student activists pushed with their bodies against 
the entry gate. To the crowd chants of, "Break that lock,"  
they used the wire 
cutters to weaken and finally break the padlock holding the 
gate shut.
A small number of protestors flooded through the gate. March 
organizers blared a warning over the megaphone: no one was 
to enter the fenced area without having completed civil 
disobedience training. The activists inside the fence joined 
hands in a solemn prayer. They intended to be arrested to 
call attention to the city's funding of prison building over 
education. It was Sunday, and the civil disobedience action 
was taking place directly across from an existing prison 
facility. The protestors awaiting arrest waited. And waited. 
And waited. For once, the police were nowhere in sight.
Realizing the civil disobedience was not to materialize, the 
organizers gathered up the signs carried by the procession. 
Determined their message be heard, they symbolically 
scattered books across the property, and with some effort, 
hammered placards bearing the words "Educate, don't 
incarcerate!" into the rocky ground. Then, against the 
backdrop of Central Booking's fading red brick and barbwire, 
they held a brief press conference before departing.
On the empty lot slated to cage the children of the poor, 
the pages of books fluttered in the wind.
Epilogue
Islam says, "Free the slave." References to "freeing 
captives" abound in the Qur'an. To me, Islam is synonymous 
with justice, and it is not justice to jail a man because he 
is hungry and stole a loaf of bread. Or lock up a youth who 
delivers a few ounces of marijuana across town to pay his 
mother's rent. I know of grocery stores located near the 
projects where armed security officers guard the exits. This 
country hates poor people, and is willing to kill or at 
least jail them for stealing food. Islam, known for its 
stringent justice, exempts exactly one category of person 
from sharia penalties for theft: the person who is hungry or 
starving. Prisons were unknown during the time of the 
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Ditto during the reign of the four 
rightly guided caliphs—Abu Bakr (RA), Umar (RA), Uthman 
(RA), and Ali (RA)—which followed immediately after. A 
person who violated social norms was banished from society, 
ostracized for a limited time, or in the case of a very 
serious crime, subjected to a one-time harsh punishment. He 
was not indefinitely placed in a tiny, insect-infested, 
filthy, overcrowded, freezing cell, to be sodomized, treated 
like an animal, or forced to urinate and defecate in front 
of others. Nor was his labor used to profit big business. Of 
the vast number of hadith (narrations of Prophetic 
tradition) in circulation, virtually none talk about locking 
up or harshly punishing children.
The U.S. boasts 7.3 million people in jail, on probation, or 
on parole at year end—one in every 31 adults. 2.3 million 
people are held in adult prison or jail (including some 
children). In addition, 92,800 children are held in juvenile 
detention centers. The rate of Black incarceration is 2,468 
per 100,000 persons. For Whites, that rate is 409 per 
100,000. So, Black youth are far more likely to be locked up 
than Whites. And unless one subscribes to some incredibly 
antiquated, racist, and scientifically invalid theories, it 
can't be because one group is inherently more criminal than 
the other.
Imperial AmeriKKKa, which sends its armadas throughout the 
world teaching others how to live, needs desperately to 
rethink a system which is clearly unjust, for injustice 
cannot be indefinitely sustained. Just as Gaza is one vast 
prison camp for Palestinians, Baltimore [substitute 
virtually any major U.S. city here] through its 
School-to-Prison pipeline, is the slave labor pool for the 
Prison-Industrial complex. But not, inshallah, if Leaders of 
a Beautiful Struggle, Kinetics Faith and Justice Network, 
and the Baltimore Algebra Project have their way.

Police Hold Islamic Women at Gunpoint, Harass Imam Musa
November 11 Al-Sabiqun Press Release
Many of us are aware of disturbing incidents involving 
police forces in the U.S. Many times, their brutality goes 
unnoticed and undocumented, but every once in a while, the 
heinous crimes committed by those who've sworn to "uphold 
the public safety" are brought to light.
On the afternoon of November 3, 2010, DC police, for no 
stated reason, held at gunpoint two Muslim sisters, both of 
whom are respected teachers in our Southeast DC Islamic 
home-schooling co-op (based at Masjid Al-Islam)--one of whom 
was Imam Musa's wife. Though neither of the sisters were 
taken in, Imam Musa was called onto the scene and, after 
bringing public attention to the blatant harassment of the 
two sisters, was arrested. Though he was released later in 
the evening, this incident has brought to the surface 
several months and years of harassment and pestering carried 
out by the local police on behalf of "higher powers". After 
the incident, Imam Musa prepared an open letter to the DC 
police, which was posted on police cars and distributed to 
local residents.
On a related noted, only a few days after the incident with 
the DC police, Imam Musa was coincidentally (by Allah's 
will) featured on an RT news piece in which he was asked to 
comment on the killing of 22-year old Oscar Grant in 
Oakland, CA, at the hands of a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) 
police officer who was recently sentenced. On January 1, 
2009, Grant was shot and killed by Johannes Mehserle while 
he was lying restrained on a train platform. The shooting 
was captured on several cell phone cameras and the footage 
is widely available on the Internet. A few days ago, on 
November 5, 2010, Mehserle was sentenced to two years, minus 
time served.
Aga Khan: The Snake in the Grass
Ismaili Leader working for Acceptance of Israel by 
Shi'as
Syrian Ruler is a Shi'ite
Aga Khan's interview published in the French journal 
Politique International [Spring 2010, issue # 127] has been 
translated into English and published on the Aga Khani web 
site Simerg.
The Aga Khan claims in the interview that Shi'as must accept 
Israel and that this acceptance is a requirement for peace. 
He specifically mentions Shi'as in Iraq, Bahrain and Lebanon 
and notes that Bashar al-Assad is a Shi'ite. He concludes 
that French President Sarkozy is on this wave length.

I think you should update your resume and in\" Areas of

and Jewish State in particular, expert in \"truth about 
Holocaust\". After the Gaza operation you friends arabs 
protesters in L.A. carried posters saying \'Jews go back to 
gas chambers\'. Being such an expert in Holocaust you should 
have advised them to change posters to \" Jews go back to 
what ? recreational chambers ? health barracks ? Nazi

don\'t you direct your efforts and expertise to your country

What Dr. Siddique said about Israel is Accurate.
[A lot of hate mail was received, mostly from Jews, but 
there has been a growing flow of supportive mail. Here is 
one sent by a Palestinian to Dr. Nelson, President of 
Lincoln, with a copy to Dr. Siddique.]
President Nelson,
I would like to thank you for standing up for Professor 
Siddique, a courageous man with integrity and intellectual 
honesty. As a Palestinian-American born and raised in 
Washington DC, I am very happy to see free speech protected, 
especially when this free speech is supported by facts. 
Israel is a racist apartheid nation in clear violation of 
many UN resolutions and International Laws pertaining to 
their illegal occupation of Palestinian land. Everything 
Professor Siddique mentioned with regards to Israel is 
accurate and well documented by the UN, World Court, Red 
Cross, and many human rights organizations around the world. 
The good news to report is that more and more people are now 
realizing that Israel has become a political and economic 
liability for America. Once again, thank you very much for 
standing up for this great professor and please do not 
surrender to the zionist pro-war media people.

Hizb-ut-Tahrir Rallies Across the Country for Caliphate
By Naveed Butt [Official Spokesman of Hizb-ut-Tahrir]
Hizb ut-Tahrir conducted dozens of 'Khilafah Rallies' and 
demos throughout the country; thousands attended. Seven 
activists were arrested.
The purpose of rallies was to make the people and people of 
power realize that real change is only possible through 
Khilafah
According to its announced campaign, Hizb ut-Tahrir 
conducted more than forty Khilafah rallies on 5th of 
November in all major cities, including Peshawar, Islamabad, 
Lahore, Rahim Yar Khan, Multan and Karachi which were 
attended by thousands of people. Despite tight security 
enforced by the government, the brave shebab of Hizb 
ut-Tahrir conducted protests in Musjid-e-shuhada area 
Lahore, Blue Area Islamabad, near Press Club Peshawar and 
Jahangir Park Karachi.
Yesterday, the government arrested three activists of Hizb 
ut-Tahrir whilst today four more activists of Rawalpindi 
were taken. It is worthy of mention that right at the time 
of Jummah, when Hizb ut-Tahrir was about to conduct rallies, 
a blast took place in a mosque of Darra Adam Kheil, which 
served to distraction for the media. This is not the first 
time that the government and US private agencies have 
conducted such underhand activities in order to divert the 
attention of people and media.
However Hizb wants to tell the government and America that 
whatever they do, the call of Khilafah is growing day by day 
and the day is not far when the radiant sun of Khilafah will 
arise and will shine upon the whole world. Today's rallies 
have played an important role in giving direction to the 
Ummah's deep rooted desire for real and actual change.  The 
Ummah realizes that real change does not occur with changes 
in faces alone and there will never be real change until the 
Capitalist system is uprooted and Khilafah is established in 
its place. Hizb ut-Tahrir demands from the Pakistan Army 
that it fulfills its Shari obligation in the dire situation 
that Pakistan faces and may Allah grant Hizb ut-Tahrir the 
Nussrah to establish the rightly guided Khilafah.

General Musharraf Exposed by Hizb-ut-Tahrir: USA's Paki 
General
Last month a rally was held in England to expose General 
Musharraf. Here is the statement of Taji Mustafa, media rep 
of Hizb-ut-Tahrir:
"The purpose of our demonstration against Musharraf is 
clear: to expose a man who is no less a slave of America 
than Zardari who he seeks to replace. He is the man who sold 
Dr Aafia Siddiqui to the USA; the man who supported 
America's war against the Muslims of Afghanistan; the man 
who did America's bidding in Waziristan and the Lal Masjid; 
the man who fuelled bitter divisions within Pakistan; the 
man who allowed US security forces - the FBI, CIA, 
Blackwater-Xe and others - into Pakistan."
"Unsurprisingly, Musharraf is being paraded to Birmingham's 
Muslims by Khalid Mahmood MP who supported the war in Iraq 
and Afghanistan and draconian anti-terror laws."
"For the last two years, Musharraf has lived a millionaire 
lifestyle in London, frequenting the luxurious restaurants 
and hotels, something unaffordable to most generals on a 
pension. Yet people are expected to think that he is somehow 
less corrupt than Zardari or Nawaz Sharif." "Pakistan does 
not need the same old recycled corrupt slaves of America and 
Britain - democrats and dictators alike - exploiting the 
people, neglecting their needs and oppressing them."

British General Says NATO Cannot defeat Al-Qaida Islamic 
Resistance
No Hope of Western Victory for Next 30 Years.
From the Sunday Telegraph
November 7, 2010
"The West can only contain not defeat militant groups such 
as al-Qaeda, the head of the UK's armed forces has said. 
General Sir David Richards, a former Nato commander in 
Afghanistan, said Islamist militancy would pose a threat to 
the UK for at least 30 years. But he told the Sunday 
Telegraph newspaper a clear-cut victory over militants was 
not achievable. The BBC's Frank Gardner said the comments 
reflect a "new realism" in UK and US counter-terrorism 
circles.Our security correspondent said such an admission 
five years ago might have been considered outrageous and 
defeatist.
Gen Richards, 58, took over as chief of the defence staff 
last month, after a spell as head of the British army. 
Britain has lost 343 soldiers in Afghanistan since 2001 but 
Gen Richards said their sacrifice had been worth it."

Kelly's son, a junior officer.

killed two U.S. troops and wounded 3. The soldiers were 
terrified because they sensed the villagers were against 
them. The troops had been told that they were fighting FOR 
the Afghan people! (Believe it or not.) (National Public 
Radio, Nov. 11)
Iranian Game:
Karzai, installed by the US, guarded by US contractors, 
admitted that he has been receiving $2 million every year 
from Iran in CASH. Also, the Iranian consulate has been set 
up in Herat almost next door to the US consulate though the 
city is under US-Karzai military control. Shi'ite students 
are being educated in schools set up by Iran. (Source: Los
