April is the month of Allama Iqbal's anniversary.
Iqbal is known as the Poet
of the East, a visionary who taught that
Pakistan
must be created to
safeguard the rights of the Muslims of
India.
His
poetry is critical of the
Western way of life. He saw Muhammad, peace be on
him, as the leader of
humanity. Here are a couple of his verses:
"Sabaq mila hay yeh ma'iraj-e-mustafa say mujhey
keh alem-e-bashriyyat ki zud main hay gardoon!
Yeh kainat ubhi natamam hay shaid
keh aa rahi hay duma dum saday kunfayakoon!
ilaj atash-e-roomi kay sooz main hay taira
tri khirad pay hay ghalib farangiun ka fasoon."
[Translation:
The Ascension of the Chosen One (pbuh) has
taught me this:
That heaven is being impacted by the endeavor of
humanity!
This universe is perhaps still incomplete
so that we hear the drum roll of creation: "be,
and it is."
Your cure is in the fire of Roomi's
(God-internalized) passion
but your reason has been overwhelmed by the
illusions of the Europeans.

Review of TV programs in New York city
by our representative Sis. 'Aisha
On April 11th at 5pm, on a public broadcasting
station, a show called Teen
Talk TV aired. It's a show with different teen
hosts and a different topic
each week. This particular episode dealt with
Occupied-Palestine.
The guest
panel consisted of an "Israeli" boy and two
Arabic-speaking girls, one of
whom was Palestinian.
During the broadcast they showed footage of
protests and in one scene a young
Jewish woman was being interviewed. She wore a
sign that read:
"Jews
against
Zionism".
She also stated that, this
past summer, she was also holed
up in that Church at the Nativity and it was the
Israelis who were
shooting up the church.
The the two Arabic-speaking girls were very
outspoken and did a great job of
expressing the feelings about the U.S. military
support for Israel and its
cause of Palestinian suffering. I almost felt
sorry for the Israeli boy
because he could not complete a sentence. I
mean, no one interrupted him.
He was not able to express himself in the face of
TRUTH. How could he defend
his peoples' barbarism?
On April 24, 2003, I saw another show on
public-access cable called: Israel
Views (Israelviews@aol.com)
The host and hostess, Charlie Bernhaut and Helen
Freedman, respectively had
syndicated national radio talk show host, Barry
Farber as their guest.
Barry Farber is a North Carolina Jew who stated
how happy he was with
American Christians. He also called North
Carolina a pro-semitic
(pro-Jewish) state and proceeded to name, at one
time or another, all of the
Jewish elected officials in Greesboro and other
cities.
I was disturbed that the hostess worked with an
organization called America
for a Safe Israel and evangelical Christians in
thwarting the building of a
mosque in Nazareth. I was thinking: What threat
does a mosque pose to her
and her "Christian" friends? My sister remarked
that that sounded like
religious suppression right there!
In the two minutes of the show, Barry Farber
claimed that the "Heavenly
Father sent us the New York Times to test our
patience." To that Helen
Freedman remarked, "Oh, we canceled our
subscription months ago." She said
that she has been urging Jews to cancel their New
York Times subscriptions.
What they are upset about are those tiny
headlined articles that New York
Times prints every now and then about what's
really going on in Israel. It
happens, sometimes.
One thing Barry Farber said was that "it's better
to have ugly editorials
than beautiful obituaries." It was a comment
directed at some Jews who
feared that there would be a great anti-Zionist
backlash post
9/11.
I believe that there is a growing awareness of
Israel and it's barbaric
treatment of human beings. I don't know what
he's been reading. He is
obviously blind and deaf.
I am currently developing a more indepth list of
American companies that support Israel
and their contact info.
Salaam,
Sis. 'Aisha
