Countrywide protests in Pakistan after suicides by poverty
stricken people.

Attack on Church in Pakistan Condemned by all Islamic Groups.
Jamaate Islami and all Islamic groups in Pakistan have
condemned the attack on a church in Peshawar which caused
heavy casualties. . Pak Taliban have categorically condemned
the attack..
New Trend's observers say that this, and a bomb attack on a
market, were attempts to stop peace talks with the Pak
Taliban.
New Trend suspects that Pakistani-US-Israeli intelligence
services are behind these attacks.
Jamaate Islami's charity al-Khidmat was the first to help
the victims' families.
There were rallies by Christians across Pakistan to protest
the attack . They in turn attacked a mosque and several
Muslim homes but fortunately there was no retaliation.
The military and police are the only groups silent on the
tragic attack. [Previous peace talks were thwarted when a US
drone attack killed one of the top leaders of the Pak
Taliban, Wali ur Rahman.]
Breaking News: Al-Shabab force US Navy Seals to retreat.
On October 5, America's Seal Team Six raided the Somali
coastal town of Barawe, 130 miles south of Mogadishu in an
attempt to capture Ahmed Godane, a top al-Shabab leader. The
attack by America's best was beaten back by the mujahideen.
Even CNN admitted that the Seals were "forced to retreat." A
US military source told BBC that the force withdrew because
of "fierce resistance."
Seal Team Six was the unit which killed the leader of global
Islamic resistance Shaykh Osama. This is also the
anniversary of Black Hawk Down.
Breaking News 2: Syria: Nuns rebut Assad's Propaganda about
Christians.
BBC reported on September 18 that Mujahideen who came into
the Christian town of Maaloula did not hurt any Christians
or damage any churches as assad's propaganda machine had
claimed. Nuns at the local monastery said that the Islamic
fighters were looking for Assad's men and did not harm
Christians or churches. The monastery was photographed and
remains untouched. [Maaloula remains in Islamic control.]
Attacks by Assad's air force and tanks continued across
Syria but failed to gain any ground. Fighters from Iraq have
captured an Assad stronghold near Turkey. [See video on
youtube. Scroll down for link. Quite stunning.]
Palestinians are joining the Syrian mujahideen. Most
surprisingly, these are young people whose families are
living in occupied Palestine ["Israel"]. The story came out
[October 1, BBC] after one of the young men named Muayyed
Ighbariya from Mushiata [in "Israel" was martyred fighting
for al-Nusra near Damascus. Israel has sentenced one
Palestinian youth to 30 months after he went to Syria and
came back.
Palestinians are mostly nationalists but their children are
becoming Islamic "extremists.'
Shoora Coming up on October 26, Inshallah: Planning
Committee for Islam in America.
The National Islamic Shoora of Jamaat al-Muslimeen will be
held in Baltimore, Maryland on October 26, inshallah.
The second tier of Jamaat's leadership is coming up.
For readers who don't know the Arabic word SHOORA, it means
mutual consultation and decision making through consensus
and consent. This is a planning committee which discusses
issues facing the Muslims of America and suggests solutions
to problems. It empathises with America's 9 million Muslims
who are either too scared or too leaderless to express what
they feel in Islamic terminology.
Jamaat al-Muslimeen is the only Islamic group in America at
the national level which opposes the occupation of Muslim
lands by America, NATO and India. It condemns the creation
of a Jewish state on Muslim land and mobilizes public
opinion against Israel.
The planning is strictly by peaceful means and within the
law of the land.

Our America: From New Trend's Media Monitor
Charlie Rose: Zionist Jew's Love Affair with three
Terrorists the White House Protects.
It's not really a surprise. Salman Rushdie is the best
friend of Charlie Rose. When Rose [short for Rosenberg?]
[how they hide their names!], had to take a holiday from his
TV program, Rushdie ran the show in his absence.
Now look at Charlie Rose in action. He has interviewed three
people whom he loves. He asked them high school level
questions and let them get away with blatant lies and
fabrications:
-
Bashar Assad, the baby faced, lisping, mass murderer who
rules Syria.
-
Foreign Minister Fahmy of Egypt whose military has
slaughtered thousands of unarmed protestors crying for
democracy.
-
Benjamin Netanyahoo, the terrorist leader of the
illegitimate entity known as Israel.
Of these three, the interview with Netanyahoo was the most
ridiculous. The Jewish terrorist told the Jewish TV host
that his people were in Palestine 2000 years before the
Palestinians. Imagine a WHITE man claiming that his
ancestors were in Palestine! Rose simply looked at Yahoo
like a puppy dog looking at his master.
America, how low will the Zionist Jews take you down! Rose
is a prime example of the takeover of corporate media by
these "Israel firsters." Rose was promoted from his minor TV
show to run CBS.
I rest my case.

Christianity on the Retreat: Mega Church Leader Endorses
Homosexuality
[Excerpt from Huffington Post. October 2.]
Joel Osteen is a phenomenon. A mega-church pastor,
televangelist, senior minister of Lakewood Church, and
social media monster, the Rev. Osteen now has a new book
called Break Out: 5 Keys to Go Beyond Your Barriers and Live
an Extraordinary Life. The spiritual star dropped by
HuffPost Live to talk with host Josh Zepps about growing up
poor, spirituality, what to pray for, the Pope, and, of
course, the gays.
Zepps read a piece that he liked from Osteen's new book: "It
doesn't matter who likes you or doesn't like you, all that
matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves
of you." Zepps followed up by asking if that included
homosexuals.
"Absolutely," Osteen insisted, "I believe that God breathed
life into every person and that every person is made in the
image of God and you have accept them as they are, on their
journey. I'm not here to preach hate or push people down." '
China: Emerging Imperialism linked to USA
Ethnic Uighurs Abdul Razak and Ahmad Muhamman fled China and
ended up in Pakistan where they were handed over to American
forces.
Role of Pakistani tribal leaders.
Two former Guantanamo detainees - both ethnic Uighurs from
China - have fled El Salvador 17 months after they were
released to the Central American country. That they managed
to disappear without passports could fuel speculation the
United States has lost control of former detainees,
Associated Press reported.
"We are aware that the two Uighurs who were resettled in El
Salvador departed the country," the State Department's Ian
Moss told AP. "However, we will not comment on the specifics
of their decision to resettle elsewhere, or their current
whereabouts."
The US had kept Abdul Razak, Ahmad Muhamman and 20 other
Uighurs at Guantanamo Bay. The Uighurs fled China,
eventually settling in Afghanistan. When the US invaded in
2001, they travelled to Pakistan where tribal leaders turned
them in to American troops.
They arrived in Guantanamo in 2002, and the US began
releasing them in 2006, but had trouble finding receptive
countries to take them. Uighurs interviewed by McClatchy
Newspapers suggested Razak and Muhamman fled to Turkey.
While they originated in China, many Uighurs refuse to carry
Chinese passports. Uighurs have long campaigned for greater
autonomy from China, and any returning there would be
subject to harsh punishment, the secretary general of the
World Uyghur Congress said. "At a minimum, they would face
life imprisonment there, or the death penalty," Nuri Musabay
told McClatchy.
Muhamman is considered one of the few Uighurs from
Guantanamo who posed a threat. He admitted to being a
weapons trainer in Afghanistan, McClatchy said.
Canada: One of many in Canada's prisons
Justice for Canadian M. Momin Khawaja, Prisoner of
Conscience.
This is too much suffering: Canada, let my people go
Mohammad Momin Khawaja, 23 years, a Canadian citizen, fresh
graduate in Computer Science, and well known for his moral
and intellectual volunteer work in the community, without
any criminal background was arrested on March 29, 2004, on
suspicion of "terrorism" in Canada. But subsequently the
trial judge in Canada acquitted him of "terrorism"- the
focal issue of the prosecution. The Govt laid other charges
under "terrorism" but NONE in reality relate to terrorism.
All the charges except one are overseas events which cannot
be logically defined as acts of terrorism and none happened
in Canada or affected Canada. These include the
following:
-
Momin Khawaja donated approx $859. to a Pakistan-based
Afghan charity fund of displaced women and children;
-
he attended one day camp in northwest Pakistan,
-
he built a
bomb detonator (a readily available cell phone jammer kit
from stores) but it did not work as demonstrated by the
prosecution;
-
that he offered to rent his parents
dwelling in Pakistan to a suspected terrorist who never went
to live there. And
-
His e-mails were used to prosecute
him essentially based on thought crime.
-
Based on the above charges, the trial judge sentenced
him to 10.5 years and 5 years for parole. He was not given
the double time credit of imprisonment as applicable to all
other inmates. Now he has been in prison for more than 10
years. The Higher Appeal courts raised this sentence
unilaterally without any legal evidence to a Life and 24
years- 10 years for parole. This would be unconstitutional
in the American system of legal justice.
-
This irony was clearly demonstrated in the June 2012
appeal hearing by the concern of Honorable Justice Lebel
(Supreme Court of Canada) when he asked the prosecution: why
should M. Momin Khawaja be sentenced to a Life and 24 years
when he has not been charged with the crime nor he committed
it? The prosecution answered that "terrorism" issue should
be viewed in a broader global context.
It is obvious that Supreme Court verdict of December 2012
was influenced by the political expediency, and not derived
from the legal stipulations. The challenge is clear that all
concerned people across the globe should actively ask for
justice for M. Momin Khawaja. Momin Khawaja has not
committed any crimes against Canada that he should be given
a Life and 24 years of outrageous sentence. He has already
served 10 years in prison without a bail. The search for
justice includes the existence of injustice. It is human to
demands justice when there is clearly a case of
injustice.
We are seeking justice and request to all concerned citizens
of the global humanity to write to the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Canada and to the Prime Minister of Canada
asking to FREE Momin Khawaja immediately without any
conditions OR to have a retrial of the case. The important
points should be:
What evidence-based or legally justifiable criterion is
implied to deliver an exceptionally harsh and unfair
sentence to Momin Khawaja? According to the Honorable
Justice Lebel (Supreme Court of Canada) why should M. Momin
Khawaja be sentenced to a Life and 24 years when he has not
been charged with the crime nor he committed it?
Momin Khawaja was acquitted by the trial judge of
involvement in the London bomb plan "terrorism" charge. He
has no criminal record and never posed any threat or
violence to anybody on this planet.
Currently, M. Momin Khawaja is kept in a high security
prison where there is no provision/system to apply for
legally sanctioned parole after 10 years. This shows that
the Canadian authorities are denying his basic legal rights
to justice.
In 2012, Momin Khawaja was attacked by another inmate with
boiling water in the Canadian Security Prison causing
life-threatening injuries and burns to all his body. He
continues to feel pains and psychological anguish in need of
medical treatment. But Momin Khawaja forgave the attacker
inmate. Thus, he deserves the same compassion and
consideration from the Canadian system of justice.
M. Momin Khawaja as college student offered motivational
help to encourage several fellow students who were drug
addicts to change their thinking and behavior and to become
good students in studies and performance and excellent
citizens in the society.
The writer should ask the Chief Justice and the Prime
Minister (politely and logically) to Free M. Momin Khawaja
immediately without any conditions OR a retrial of the case.

Censorship of World War II truth
Criminal Charges For Publishing Czech Book of Hitler
Speeches
?TK (Czech Republic)
http://praguemonitor.com/2013/09/26/author-prosecuted-over-pblishing-hitlers-speeches
Czech police have levelled charges against two heads of the
Guidemedia publishers, author Lukas Beer and the firm itself
for having published the book "Adolf Hitler: Speeches,"
south Moravia police spokeswoman Petra Vedrova told CTK
yesterday. They were charged with denying, disputing,
approving of and justifying genocide, Vedrova said ...
Guidemedia published 10,000 copies of the 650-page book, but
only online.
The online promotion texts say Hitler always spoke about
Czechs with respect and appreciation, saying that everyone
had the right to life. The texts also say Hitler sought
peace and friendship with England and had nothing against
Russians.

Inside Story of Kenyan Mall [Thanks to Br. Athar in Canada.]
Large scale looting and destruction was carried out by
Kenyan Military.
[Only 4 al-Shabab were killed.]
[New York Times Report.]
NAIROBI, Kenya - Mannequins were stripped clean, jewelry
cases smashed, racks of expensive suits carted off, dozens
of cash registers .
The looting of the Westgate mall, the scene of a siege in
which scores of people were killed last month, appeared to
have the scope and organization of a large-scale military
operation, and many Kenyans are asking if that is what it
was.
From the first hours after Islamist militants burst into the
mall on Sept. 21, killing men, women and children, until a
week later when shopkeepers were let back in to sweep up the
broken glass, very few people were allowed inside the mall
except the Kenyan security forces, mainly the army.
More and more Kenyans believe that those soldiers
methodically cleaned out the mall, and that the barrages of
gunfire ringing out for days were being directed not at the
last of the militants but at safes and padlocks to blast
them open. Some business leaders even question whether the
Kenyan Army deliberately prolonged the crisis by saying that
shooters were still in the building when they were actually
dead, to give themselves extra time to steal.
Witnesses said that the most they saw militants loot was a
couple of cans of soda, and shopkeepers cited no instances
of panicked shoppers helping themselves to merchandise as
they ran for their lives, leading to the widespread
conclusion that the security forces must have been
involved.
Kenyans are accustomed to corruption - their country is
consistently rated as one of the most corrupt in the world -
but the evidence of looting amid a national tragedy has been
too much for many to take.
"It's disgraceful," said Maina Kiai, one of Kenya's
best-known human rights defenders. "It's part of a nasty
culture where power means everything, where you take what
you can, you do whatever you want, and there's no
accountability."
The Kenyan military said Thursday that it was "committed to
get to the bottom of this" and appealed to the public for
any information about soldiers who might have looted.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has announced an official inquiry
into the security services' response, which has been roundly
criticized as slow and bungled. But official inquiries often
do not amount to much, many Kenyans say. The other night on
a Kenyan news broadcast, a camera panned across a shelf of
previous inquiries - thick, bound tomes that went
nowhere.
In a question put to viewers, 77 percent said they believed
the Kenyan Army was responsible for the plundering of
Westgate.
"Four-day siege or four-day shopping spree?" said one
Western official working in Kenya.
Many questions are still swirling. The Shabab, a Somali
Islamist group, has claimed responsibility for killing more
than 60 people at the mall, but the number of militants who
stormed in - and who they were - remain unknown.
On Thursday morning, at the Westgate entrance, vans usually
used for taking tourists on safari disgorged a platoon of
Western investigators wearing zip-off nylon pants and
handguns on their hips. The mall reeked of rotten meat.
Kenyan soldiers in hazardous-material suits and gas masks
leaned over piles of debris, collecting evidence. There were
still pools of blood on the floor, bits of flesh sticking to
the tiles. Several more bodies were unearthed Thursday from
a pile of rubble.
The mall's electricity remained shut off, and inside Sir
Henry's, a men's store on the ground floor, clerks took
inventory by lantern light. Fazal Virani, one of Sir Henry's
owners, shook his head in disbelief. He pointed out that the
cheaper suits in the front of the store had not been stolen,
while dozens of his most expensive suits, hanging in the
back and costing almost $2,000 each, were gone.
"These guys had time, man, these guys had time," he
said.
Mr. Virani then trudged upstairs to commiserate with other
shopkeepers. "You get hit, too?" he asked a group of men
standing ankle deep in crushed glass.
"Dumb question," replied Michael Waweru, the owner of a
small boutique. "Everyone got hit."
Laptops, smartphones, Swiss watches, cameras, underwear,
perfume and stereo speakers were all carried out of the
mall, which was supposed to be tightly guarded by the
military, owners said. At the checkout booths in the
Nakumatt supermarket, thieves left behind hundreds of coins
on conveyor belts covered in ash. Wallets were snatched from
the bodies of victims, shopkeepers said, complicating the
process of identification.
In one women's boutique, blouses, jewelry and purses were
snatched, leaving naked plastic mannequins. Even the little
wooden carts that sold chocolates on Westgate's ground floor
had been broken into.
"Who did this?" said Atul Shah, Nakumatt's managing
director. "The people inside. Who was inside? The defense
forces."
A cleanup crew at one restaurant said that when the soldiers
allowed them back in on Monday, the crew found hundreds of
bottles of gin, brandy, rum, vodka and beer sitting on the
bar. It looked like the scene of a fraternity party, one
Western official said.
"I don't know if they are deprived of these things or they
felt they deserved them," said Zahir Manji, who owns four
shops in Westgate.
Inside the mall this week, the evidence of widespread theft
was all around. Parking machines and cash registers were
pried open and emptied. A huge, mounted flat-screen
television had been lifted off the wall. Doors were wrenched
open, and in several stores that showed no obvious signs of
having been caught up in the fighting, display cases were
ransacked.
Witness accounts have not suggested that the attackers broke
into safes or stole anything of value. The mall's
surveillance cameras may have captured some of the looting,
but Kenyan intelligence agents have taken the footage.
"A committee of inquiry will be formed," Mr. Shah said,
sighing, "and nothing will happen."
Of Kenya's security services, the military had been
considered the most professional, and the police force the
most corrupt. But in the aftermath of the mall attack, it is
the police officers who are being hailed as heroes because
dozens of lightly armed off-duty officers were among the
first responders at the mall, and they saved hundreds of
lives.
Within hours, the Kenyan military ordered the police out.
Then the army took over. Scores of soldiers poured into the
mall while several assailants holed up in the Nakumatt
store. The standoff ended three days later after soldiers
fired an antitank missile into the store, leaving it in
flames and opening an enormous crater in the flagship of one
of Kenya's most important companies.
Four days after that, the first shopkeepers were allowed
back in to survey the wreckage. Millions of dollars of
property had been destroyed, and businesses said that at
least hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and
merchandise were missing.
On Thursday, the talk among a group of forlorn shopkeepers
was of "terrorism insurance." Nobody there had it. But Mr.
Manji hoped that would not matter.
"This was not terrorism; this was looting," he said. "It's
sad that the people who were supposed to protect us have
robbed us."

100 Kaman Muslim Homes Wiped Out by Extemist Buddhist Mobs
this Week
The last few days, attacks on Muslims followed a
disturbingly familiar pattern: sword-wielding extremist
Buddhist mobs rampaging through Muslim neighborhoods and the
military standing by watching. Muslims are spending nights
hiding in the woods.
This latest attack wiped out 100 Muslim houses in the
coastal town of Thandwe, where extremist Buddhist mobs
killed a 94-year-old woman and many others.
The victims of this week's violence were not Rohingyas but
Kamans, a different Muslim minority group, whose citizenship
is recognized by the government.
The difference this time, however, was that the President of
Burma for the first time visited the affected area.
Unfortunately, he did not denounce the "969" anti-Muslim
movement and its leader, Buddhist monk Ashin Wirathu.
There used to be 5 million Muslims in Burma, now there are
only 3 million left.
Pakistan
Rising Poverty, Price Increases, and Suicides by the poor
lead to Countrywide Protests.
by Anwar Niazi
LAHORE, Oct. 4: Countrywide protest was held against the
oppressive rise of POL and electricity prices, on Friday at
the call of the Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan.
Protest rallies and demonstrations were held in the
provincial, district and tehsil headquarters after the
Friday prayers and sit-ins were also staged on major roads
and crossings. The protesters were holding placards
condemning the government decision to raise POL and
electricity prices.
Ameer, JI, Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan, while addressing
Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque, said that the people
had expected the PML(N) government to provide them much
relief but all their hopes had dashed to the ground during
the honey moon period one by one. It seemed the rulers were
pushing the masses to the point of revolt, he added.
He said the reports of suicide by a couple of persons every
day was not the news, the real news was that the 180 million
people in the country were bearing the tyrannies and
injustices of the rulers without much concern. The
deprivations and the limitations of the poor masses were now
the tales to be heard all around.
Syed Munawar Hasan said that anarchy and chaos were being
created in the country under the US and Indian agenda. The
people were deprived of two times meal and there was
darkness all around.
In the Punjab capital, protest rallies were held at several
places. The rally held at Multan Road was addressed by the
JI Secretary General, Liaqat Baloch. In his address, Liaqat
Baloch referred to the statement of Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif that the raise in POL and electricity prices was
unbearable for the poor. He said in fact, the raise had been
approved by the Prime Minister himself. He said if the
Federal Minister for Water and the Minister for Petroleum
had decided the raise on their own, without the Premier's
approval, both of them must be dismissed forthwith. However,
if that was not the case, the Prime Minister, instead of
posing innocence, should admit his incompetence and failure
in providing relief to the masses, and step down.
The JI Secretary General expressed his gratitude to the
Supreme Court Chief Justice for taking suo moto notice of
the raise in electricity tariff. He urged the apex court to
also take note of the unjustified raise in POL prices at a
time when the POL prices in the world market had fallen.
In Karachi, protest rallies were held at about thirty places
and were addressed by local party leaders.
In the Khyber P, rallies were staged at all district
headquarters including Dir, Bannu, Peshawar, Hangu, D..
Khan, Kohat. JI deputy Ameer, and Senior provincial Minister
Sirajul Haq, and provincial JI chief, Prof. Ibrahim Khan,
besides local leaders of other parties, strongly condemned
the unbearable raise in the prices of POL and demanded their
withdrawal.
JI, Punjab chief, Dr Syed Waseem Akhtar, while addressing
the rally at Bahawalpur, said the government had miserably
failed to provide relief to the people . On the other hand,
the prices of essential goods had increased many times
during the last three months. In Balochistan, rallies were
held at Quetta, Pishin, Loralai, and Gowadar .
