Safar 8, 1434/December 22, 2012 # 56
Israel is attacking defenseless Palestinians in the West 
Bank. Israeli forces have been rampaging through territory 
belonging to the PA since December 5. Scores of unarmed 
Palestinians have been injured. On December 12, a 17 year 
old, Muhammad Salayme was killed in the al-Khalil area 
[Hebron] by the Israelis. All this terrorism by the Israeli 
is ignored by US media and was only revealed by blogger 
Annie Robbins.

Osama is haunting Pakistan.
A great message from a revolutionary Islamic thinker. 90:13 
From Bradford, England, we have heard again from our old 
revolutionary friend of years back.
Islamul Haque has come out again with a deep thought which 
can transform society. He wants us to focus on verse 13 in 
chapter 90 of the Qur'an. It says:
Free the slave.
These words were revealed by Allah very early in the mission 
of Muhammad, pbuh.
Islamul Haque wants us to write the number 13 on the hands 
of our youths and remind them of the basic mission of Islam. 
Free the slave, confront the Pharoah, defeat the tyrants, 
think of a new world where the Good and the Just would 
prevail.
Wait for more from Br. Islamul Haque. He is ready to give 
his life for the truth: FREE the SLAVE.
Breaking News #1: December 16. The subjugation of women in 
India has come out in a brutal act of shame.
Please scroll down 
to our news section. Keep children away. 
Breaking News #2:
December 17: The brutal pro-India regime of Bangladesh 
arrested 8 Islamic hijabi women in a raid on their homes in 
Dhaka. This is a first in the history of Bangladesh. The 
women are with the Jamaate Islami of Bangladesh and are 
peaceful to an extreme. Looks like Bangladesh's rulers want 
to challenge Islam.
For Bangladeshis who have moved to Pakistan to avoid the 
exploitative regime in Dhaka, 
see report below.
Khutba on Compassion and Mercy: Imam Badfi Ali
Be Compassionate & Merciful if you want Allah to have Mercy 
on you
"And We have sent you [O Muhammad] as nothing but mercy for 
all the worlds." [The Qur'an 21:107]
On December 21, Imam Badi Ali gave the juma khutba at the 
Islamic Center of the Triad [ICT[ in Greensboro, North 
Carolina. Not only is he a religious scholar of great 
eminence, he knows America well and has worked with troubled 
children for two decades.
Imam Badi, who is from Palestine, quoted profusely from the 
Qur'an and the hadith. He also quoted from Caliph Umar, 
r.a., from Syed Maudoodi and Syed Qutb. Also he recited 
poetry in Arabic. Here are some of his main points:
- 
Mercy is the attribute of the Creator, Allah. Muhammad, 
pbuh, was a prophet of mercy and compassion. The very 
greeting of Islam, asalamu alaikum, is a greeting of peace 
and compassion.
 - 
The Pharoah had no mercy. He  tied up his own wife to a 
tent peg. This sense of dominance and arrogance makes 
Pharoah a symbol of evil in the Book of Allah.
 - 
Caliph Umar, r.a., was playing with his children. They 
were climbing his back, playing horsey, touching his beard, 
pulling his hair. The governor of a province came in. He was 
amazed and could not understand Umar's behavior. Umar  said, 
you have to be kind and compassionate to those who are 
dependent on you, the PEOPLE, and he fired the governor. 
 - 
The Prophet, pbuh, taught his Companions to put the hand 
of compassion on the head of the orphan and to feed the 
poor.
 - 
We must teach our children to have empathy with those who 
are in need, those who are suffering. Teach the children to 
think of others.
 - 
Even when disciplining people, do it with compassion, 
like a surgeon who wants to remove the sickness without 
hurting the patient.
 - 
The Prophet, pbuh, taught that you can't be a believer 
unless you are merciful.{hadith].
 
We Muslims must become agents of mercy and compassion to 
those who are weak, in particular children.
Newtown Tragedy: Obama Meets his Match
NRA Leader Asks Relevant Questions
December 21: We might disagree with the National Rifle 
Association [NRA} in many matters, but its leader Wayne 
Lapierre did a pretty good job of answering Obama's "holier 
than thou" speech on the Newtown tragedy. As soon as Obama 
speaks, his media army of homosexuals, Israel FIrsters and 
Jews starts a campaign to support him on CNN, MSNBC, NPR and 
the New York Times. It's almost like the Soviet media and 
Stalin.
The NRA leader blasted the media's propaganda campaign 
blaming guns for the massacre. He pointed out that from the 
President down to banks and football games, everyone is 
protected by armed security. Why are our children the only 
ones left unprotected, he asked? He also attacked the 
extreme violence of video games which have trivialized 
violence. We agree that unless PEOPLE change, the violence 
will continue. [A Jewish woman placed a banner in front of 
the NRA leader accusing the NRA of violence. These 
"professional" protestors get into all kinds of places, are 
"arrested" and released. You'll see the Zionists showing 
that scene again and again. on TV]. In a veiled reference to 
Israel, Lapierre mentioned the money going overseas. Why not 
use it to protect our children, he asked. Every school 
should be protected, he demanded.
[New Trend would have added: What right has Obama to quote 
scripture when he violates the Law of God by legitimizing 
sodomy as "marriage." Israel's greatest friend did not say a 
word when Israel incinerated hundreds of children in Gaza 
with phosphorous bombs.]
BBC Glorifying Salman Rushdie
On December 23, the BBC will air a program to glorify Salman 
Rushdie, the scum who attacked the Prophet, pbuh, and his 
family, r.a., The program will abuse Imam Khomeini's FATWA 
on Rushdie. We urge our British  readers to call BBC and 
protest. Rushdie is an Islam hater without question.
A Pakistani reader has objected to our revulsion at the 
massacre of children in New Town. Looks like he is confusing 
our response with that of President Obama. Our message was 
inclusive of children in Gaza and Pakistan and elsewhere It 
was Obama who left out all the children of the Muslim world. 
CNN and MSNBC have followed Obama. Anyway, we are publishing 
the Pakistani letter uncut. It is a factual but horrific 
letter. Please keep children away. We are ashamed that our 
country, USA, did this to our people, Muslims.

Outreach against Police Brutality
Peaceful Rally to Free Black Journalist  James MacArthur: 
Right in front of Prison Gate
December 20: Activists in Baltimore, Maryland, rallied in 
front of the "Booking Office" where "suspects" are taken 
after arrest [300 East Madison Avenue]. Jamaat al-Muslimeen 
activists carried placards calling for journalist 
MacArthur's release, including one which said: "Zionism is 
Racism" referring to the real power behind the racist power 
structure. Here are two comments by  people at whose appeal 
the rally was held.
Three Hour Rally reached Rush Hour Traffic.
" I am truly in awe of all the committed activists who have 
pooled their efforts to organize for this brother. in 
particular, I salute the elders, like Rev. Annie Chambers, 
Br. John Gaskew (Little Afrika), Br. Yahya, Dr. Kaukab 
Siddique (New Trend Magazine), and Sr. Ashira (Jamaat 
al-Muslimeen), who stood steadfastly with us in the cold and 
rain for 3 hours. We reached hundreds of Baltimore natives 
during the height of rush hour traffic, as well as nearly 
all the Baltimore area media (as well as key ones outside of 
Baltimore) with the message that an independent journalist 
is being held without bail on extremely flimsy charges (to 
say the least) in Baltimore's Detention Center, and I think 
it is not braggadocio to say the action was highly 
successful. It shows what is possible when the People come 
together, shelve rivalry and ego, and even with meager 
resources, determine to get the truth out. FREE MACARTHUR! 
FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS!!"
- Nadrat Siddique
Media Aspect of the Baltimore Rally for Black 
Journalist/Activist James MacArthur

Islamic Political Prisoner
Canadian Rulers Direct Hate at Momin Khawaja: LIFE in PRISON 
for Thought Crime
Many Canadian news media outlets have offered commentaries 
on the Dec 14, Supreme Court verdict. However, none are 
written to reflect the facts of the case.
In March 2009, Momin Khawaja was sentenced to 10.5 (ten and 
half years) with 5 years to serve for parole eligibility. At 
the time , he had already spent almost five years in 
detention but was not credited for this time. The trial 
Judge acquitted him of terrorism charge related to London 
Bomb accusation due to lack of evidence- this was the focal 
point of the prosecution.
The sentence was based that he donated $859. to a 
pakistan-based afghan charity fund that they claim had link 
to alqaeda. He attended one day camp in north west Pakistan, 
traveled to uk to meet some youngesters who were later 
charged with certain crimes. This was appealed at the 
provinical court and three judges extended 10.5 years into 
life time sentence without hearing any evidence or facts of 
the case. The same formula is being used by the Superme 
Court to authenticate the previous appeal's verdict and gave 
him consecutivly life sentence and 24 years to start 
consecutively with 10 yrs to be served for parole 
eligibility. There is no surety , he will be allowed for 
parole. The superme court used the official myth of Islamic 
terrorism, making claim to be sending a strong message to 
all concerned. Momin has not committed any crime of 
terrorism nature, nor harmed anyone anywhere on this planet. 
His e-mail were used to prosecute him essentially based on 
thought crime. One of the supreme court judges hearing the 
appeal, made it known that there was no crime committed by 
him (Momin) nor charged to be given the life sentence. Yet, 
all have signed the final verdict. He is Hafiz of Qura'an, 
did dawah work during student days . He was 23 yrs at the 
time of his arrest and now 32 years old. In Jan 2012, 
another inmate threw boiling water on him, his back was 
burnt and treated in the hospital. Allah knows best.
[We urge readers to write to the Canadian embassy in your 
countyry. Simple message: FREE MOMIN KHAWAJA now!.]
[Ed note: Canada is part of the NATO occupation army in 
Afghanistan. Canada has gone around the world to occupy a 
Muslim country. Canadian troops have killed Muslims there 
including children whom the Canadians said were killed by 
accident. Canada has no moral basis for giving a life 
sentence for a non-violent, victimless, crime.]

Hispanic Muslim Jose Padilla's Mother Seeks Justice outside 
the US.
Torture, Humiliation, Injustice Imposed by US on Padilla has 
gone beyond all Limits.
{While we thank ACLU for this effort, its a shame that other 
than Jamaat al-Muslimeen, the entire US Muslim community 
kept quiet. CAIR, ISNA, ICNA working closely with the 
American regime have made bootlickers, sell outs and  
cowards out of many US Muslims. ICNA's President has been 
working with the State Department. See his resume. Between 
them Siraj Wahhaj, Zaid Shakir, Hamza Yusuf and Abdul Malik 
Mujahid have done serious harm to the Islamic cause in 
America. Ask them and then ask us.  Editor]

U.S. Courts Have Denied Recourse
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: (212) 549-2666; media@aclu.org
NEW YORK - The American Civil Liberties Union and Yale Law 
School's Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic today 
filed a petition against the United States with the 
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IAHCR) for the 
unlawful detention and torture of José Padilla, a U.S. 
citizen, whom the United States detained and interrogated 
for four years.
The petition was filed by Padilla's mother, Estella Lebron, 
on her own and on her son's behalf. Padilla and Lebron had 
previously filed federal lawsuits - since dismissed - 
against current and former government officials for their 
roles in Padilla's torture and other abuse.
The petition is an international complaint asking the IACHR, 
which is an independent human rights body of the 
Organization of American States, to conduct a full 
investigation into the human rights violations suffered by 
Padilla; to find that his mistreatment violated the American 
Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man; and to 
recommend that the United States publicly acknowledge the 
violations and apologize for its unlawful conduct.
"The U.S. justice system denied a day in court to a U.S. 
citizen who was arrested and then tortured on U.S. soil by 
his own government," said Steven Watt, senior staff attorney 
with the ACLU Human Rights Program. "The U.S. has 
historically been a leader in ensuring access to justice for 
human rights violations around the world, but it has 
effectively closed the courtroom door to all victims and 
survivors of the Bush administration's torture regime. 
Denied redress in U.S. courts, torture survivors like 
Padilla are now left with no choice but to turn to 
international justice."
In 2002, President Bush declared Padilla an "enemy 
combatant" and ordered him to be placed in military custody. 
U.S. officials seized Padilla from a civilian jail in New 
York and secretly transported him to the Naval Consolidated 
Brig in Charleston, S.C., where they held him for 43 months 
without charge. Interrogators subjected Padilla to torture 
and other egregious forms of abuse, including forcing him 
into stress positions for hours on end, punching him, 
depriving him of sleep and threatening him with further 
torture, "extraordinary rendition" and death.
"For more than a decade, Estela Lebron has lived with the 
terrible knowledge that her own government tortured her son, 
but there has never been any official acknowledgement, let 
alone an apology," said Alaina Varvaloucas, a student with 
Yale's Lowenstein Clinic who worked on preparing the 
petition. "The pain and indignity of that betrayal continue 
to this day."
For the first 21 months of his captivity, Padilla was held 
incommunicado, without access to lawyers and his family.
"No human being deserves what happened to our family, and I 
will continue to work for my son and for justice as long as 
I'm breathing. As a mother, I want to be sure this never 
happens to anyone else," said Lebron. "This petition may be 
my last chance."

Soldiers and Suicide: Unjust wars and Profiteers
by Sis. Sherry Garris [Virginia.]
We cannot fathom the depths of suffering that torments the 
soul of a soldier. Young men and women who believe they are 
fighting a noble fight for the security and freedom of a 
nation return home mentally and/or physically wounded. They 
cannot erase the nightmares of what they have seen and done. 
"According to recent data released by the US Department of 
Defense (DoD), in the first 155 days of this year, 154 
soldiers committed suicide- about one per day- Compared to 
139 soldiers who died in combat in the same period."
The only people who benefit from these unjust wars is the 
profiteers. War is Big Business! And, the CEOs are the 
government entities that sell the propaganda of fear to 
attempt to justify criminal acts as needed to protect us 
from an enemy we cannot see! Maybe we can't see them because 
they don't exist! Our government gives gives billions of 
dollars to Israel so they can use the money to buy weapons 
from companies in the US who manufacture them. And, lets not 
forget the pharmaceutical companies who profit from the 
damaged soldiers who suffer from war!
"Our soldiers are killing themselves because they see no 
other way to end their suffering - suffering built on and 
breeding on lies, official denial and the isolation that 
comes from never being able to speak about a lie so large 
that no one dare acknowledge it."
The military is a breed into our society. Most soldiers do 
not know until they get there. And, then its too late and 
they don't know what to do but survive. There are those who 
speak out as with 'Veterans Against the War' But, many never 
find their voice and either endure a life of suffering or 
end it the only way they see out! We must not judge them but 
reach out with a compassionate heart!
Surah 9 al-Taubah "If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for 
asylum grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of 
Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure. That 
is because they are men without knowledge."
15 Days in Dhaka: Only Islam can save Bangladesh.
5,000,000 Bangladeshis live in Pakistan. India Hates Bengali 
Muslims.
by Mohammed Javed Kaleem
Admittedly I mourn the secession of East Pakistan, 
religiously. I remember very well that I became able to vote 
those days. At one end was Shaikh Mujibur Rahman's Awami 
League whose appeal was racial, on the other was Peoples 
party of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto which was contesting election 
on the promise of providing bread, cloth and housing. None 
of the two slogans could attract me and I voted to Jamaate 
Islami whose slogan was " Vote for Mizan (scales), Save 
Pakistan". When the uprising in the eastern wing and Indian 
interference was in high gear, I used to hear Dr. Iqbal's 
ghazal whose first couplet was:
Separation from center is death knell for nations
Centralized nations are the ones that rule the world.
And my tears did not stop. The day Dhaka fell, I was crying 
like crazy. I have seen many sorrows in life, including the 
death of my parents, but have never shed so many tears. I 
was brought up on the poetry of Allamah Iqbal and the novels 
of Nasim Hijazi and used to dream for victories of Islam. So 
my melancholy knew no bounds. Then the world of Islam 
suffered more calamities and the tragedy of separation of 
east Pakistan was overshadowed. But India acquired the 
status of my worst enemy. I stopped watching Indian movies 
and listening to Indian songs. This decision saved me from 
vulgar and shameless life style being promoted by Indian 
art. On every 16thDecember, I religiously wrote a column in 
remembrance of United Pakistan. The West Pakistanis used to 
respect Khawaja Nazimuddin very much, as they thought he 
belonged to east Bengal. Later it transpired that the East 
Bengalis did not consider him from amongst them, as his 
ancestors had migrated to east Bengal.
Then Bangladesh migrants started coming to Pakistan. They 
started opening pan shops or installed machines of crushing 
sugarcane. But many Bengalese became Imams (prayer leaders) 
in masjids. Since Bengalese are intelligent, they not only 
memorized holy Quran, but also understood its meanings. When 
they recited, they read Quran so that each and every word 
was easy to listen and understand.They also started Quran 
lessons after Ishaa prayers twice a week. People like me, 
who take holy Quran seriously, started coming to pray to 
masjids where Bangladeshi Imams were prayer leaders. So the 
bond of religion which was weakened by the secular politics 
of Bangladesh and Pakistan, became strong once again. Today 
3.7 million Bangladeshis live in Karachi alone whereas in 
entire Pakistan,  their number exceed 5 million. On the 
contrary, India never considered Bangladeshis as friends . 
The BSF kills thousands of Bangladeshis and hangs them with 
pole as as to wreck havoc in their hearts:
http://news.priyo.com/politics/2012/01/08/31-bangladeshis-kiled-bsf-las-45131.html
Time has proved that the relation of religion is permanent 
and forever whereas links of color, language and race are 
temporary. Sometimes I think if Pakistan and Bangladesh 
could form a confederation so as to break free from Indian 
dominance, the bully in the block. But perhaps I am a day 
dreamer.
Mourning for New Town Children Left out Our Childfren.
Pakistani Reader Objects to Exclusion of Muslim Children 
Slaughtered by USA in Bajaur.
80 Children were killed in  Attack on Islamic School by US 
Drone.
My dear doctor sahib:
Salaam alaikum.
The massacre in New Town is being labeled OBSCENE, 
DISGUSTING, SICKENING slaughter of children 5-10 in their 
school. I heartily agree with these emotions.
The slaughter of even one child is an unforgiveable offense 
against humanity. The slaughter of so many? There is a 
feeling of hurt and outrage in all the white Christian 
world. The president of USA has been shown weeping, as have 
many other white christians. It is said the killer was a 
loner.
I draw your attention to a similar crime against humanity 
that was perpetrated some years ago.
A group of white christian terrorists, yes, a whole group of 
them, sent a drone over a religious seminary in my province. 
The seminary was full of children 6-18 years old. They 
hailed from utterly poor families, so poor the parents could 
not afford to feed them. The seminary was in a particularly 
poor part of the province. It was run by alms given out by 
neighbors. The christianists fired one missile. The building 
blew up along with the children inside. Some might have been 
badly injured and cried out Mama Mama. Not being content, 
the christianists fired another missile at the rubble. 80+ 
children, along with 8 teachers were blown to bits.
Not a word of surprise from the "civilized" christian word 
at that crime.
One is reminded of the words of our Foreign Minister Z A 
Bhutto. "Is pain felt by the white people only?"
What goes round comes round. The mills of God grind deep. 
The christianist terrorists have fired scored of drones in 
Pakistan. They say all the top ranking members of al Qaida 
have been killed. How many were they? Along side hundreds of 
women and children were murdered. The christian press has 
brushed them aside as "collateral" damage.
What goes round comes round. The mills of God grind deep. 
Respectfully,
Mir Salim Ullah {Pakistan]
Important news: From New Trend's Media Monitor. We get vast 
information from all sides, from which this is summarized.
India: December 16.  In India's capital, New Delhi, a woman 
was gang raped by six men in the bus in which she was 
travelling. She was then stripped by her victimizers and 
thrown naked out of the bus. She is in critical condition on 
December 21.
The furor created by this assault has brought out facts 
about the degraded condition of women in India. According to 
the BBC, 635 women have been raped this year in New Delhi 
alone. . Many have been critically injured by having acid 
thrown on them.
Indian men are not much disturbed by rape. Hinduism is 
silent on the issue. On Decmber 20, it was reported that 260 
politicians accused of rape have been given tickets to stand 
for elections by various Indian political parties.
Indian movies have played a major role in the degradation of 
women. The woman gang raped on a bus had come out of a movie 
theatre where her victimizers were also watching the movie. 
[Ed. note: India needs SHARI'A LAW. Islam gives the death 
penalty to the rapist. See Hadith in my book THE LIBERATION 
OF WOMEN THRU ISLAM.]
Syria: December 20: Islamic forces have broken through the 
outer ring of Assad's security area around Damascus. 
However, Assad still has an iron grip on Damascus' inner 
security ring. Islamics are also holding on to their recent 
advances in Aleppo. Syria's Interior Minister Shaar was 
injured in a bomb attack.
Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of 
Damascus is now in Islamic hands. The Palestinian seculars 
led by Jibril supporting Assad battled the Palestinian 
Islamics but  were defeated when cadres of the al-Nusrah 
mujahideen group [said to be al-Qaida and battle hardened] 
entered the camp to help the Islamics. Many of Jibril's men 
joined the Islamics. Large numbers of refugees have left the 
camp fearing a counterattack by Assad' s tank columns. Also, 
there are reports of air strikes on the camp by Assad's air 
force  after the Islamics took over, causing heavy civilian 
casualties, some reports say 80 killed.
In a desperate last minute gamble, Iran and Hizbullah have 
announced that they will not allow Assad ro be toppled. 
Also, Israel is  giving a free hand to Assad to kill the 
Islamics but now seems disappointed. NO ISRAELI TROOPS are 
facing Assad's troops [which could have drawn Assad's forces 
from fighting the resistance.] USA and Europe are much 
concerned about the increasing mujahideeen segment of the 
opposition to Assad. After 20 months of uprising, the West 
wants to gain from the Islamic sacrfices.
Pakistan: December 10:  There has been a spectacular Pak 
Taliban attack on the air force base at Peshawar which has 
been used repeatedly to bomb the Islamics.  A serious 
attempt was made to destroy attack helicopters and jets on 
the ground. Damage and losses have been concealed by the 
regime. The Paki counterattack killed all six assailants 
after hours of fighting.
December 20: A US drone which was attacking Islamic 
controlled areas of the Pak Taliban in South Waziristan 
crashed with a big bang. It seems to have been shot down by 
the Pak Taliban.
December 21: Maulvi Abbas and three of his guards were 
killed in a bomb attack in South Waziristan. It's not clear 
if it was a secret Pakistan army operation or by the US.  He 
was a Pakistani linked to the Uzbek Islamic movement. 
Pakistan says that Uzbek Islamics [from central Asia] are 
helping the Pak Taliban and were involved in the attack on 
Peshawar airport.
The Unresolved Issue of Osama bin Laden Haunts Pakistan.
December 17-20: Seven female health workers have been shot 
dead, 5 in Karachi, by unknown gunmen. There is much 
speculation that the Pak Taliban think that health workers 
giving polio shots to children are working for the US and 
are sterilizing the children. BBC has brought the 
information that this kind of thinking is linked to the US 
attack which killed Shaykh Osama bin Laden. Dr. Afridi [now 
in a Pakistani prison] was part of a health team which was 
infiltrated by the US to find Osama. A Pakistani official on 
BBC admitted that the US ruined Pakistan's health system by 
connecting it to its war on terrorism. Although Dr. Afridi 
might not have been successful, General Kayani allowed 
Pakistani air space to be used to kill Osama. In the US 
assault on the Islamic leader's home, his wives and female 
relatives were also traumatized and it is said that one was 
killed.  The Pakistanis arrested his wives and allowed them 
to be interrogated by the US. Thus it may not be far fetched 
to say that Islamic people consider Pakistan and all its 
government related organizations as part of the American 
structure against terrorism. Touching an Islamic woman at 
the level of Osama's wife violates the Pashtun Islamic code 
of honor and protection of guests. Our reading is that 
ordinary Muslims in Pakistan consider Osama a greater 
Islamic leader than any leader the Pakistanis have. 
Pakistanis have not been able to respond to the 
assassination of Osama because their intellectuals were 
following conspiracy theories that he died in 2002 from his 
health problems or that his messages were concocted by the 
US. Some even believe that al-Qaida does not exist.
The Pakistani government should tell the Pak Taliban that 
its military allowed air space to be opened to the US and 
female health workers are not working for the US. Some 
confidence building is required. Innocent health workers are 
being killed in these absurd crimes so removed from the real 
culprits: the Pakistani army which is made in USA, from head 
to foot. The whole issue of letting an Islamic leader, 
globally seen as a follower of Qur'an and hadith, be 
assassinated by non-Muslims who have violated their own laws 
about rule of law and evidence creates a serious problem in 
an Islamic country. For America, it was a day of great glory 
that Osama was killed. America's president got re-elected, 
in part, for having killed Osama, but for Islamics it was 
unacceptable. Killing someone does not solve the problem. 
The problem gets worse.
