BOOK RECEIVED:
NO ESCAPE: MALE RAPE in U.S. PRISONS published by 
Human Rights Watch, 
2001, 
378 pages. Read this book and lose your innocence 
about America. The most 
degrading system invented by human beings to 
perpetuate the lowest drives of 
trapped people is being perpetuated in America's 
prison system. Nothing compares 
with this evil.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
Have you done anything to withdraw resources 
from the criminal entity 
known as 
"Israel?" 
Remember that the 
Zionist 
Jew 
is hurt most when you take away 
his business. Are you spending your money on:
1. Coca Cola?
2. Disney?
3. McDonald's?
4. Giants?
5. ARM and HAMMER Products?
You might be killing your people with your 
own money. Defeat "Israel" by 
spending wisely.

LOCAL NEWS:
IN 
CHICAGO, 
there were two Muslim conventions 
over the Labor Day weekend.
At one convention, IMAM WARITHUDDIN MUHAMMAD, 
leader of his own group 
resigned from his group. This would be a great 
blessing for the Muslims because Imam 
W.D. Muhammad has consistently taken his 
community on the path of "patriotism" 
and flag waving. Always on demand at White House 
ceremonies, the imam took an 
important section of the Muslims of America out 
of the struggle against 
oppression and tyranny. His became an "Islam" of 
banqueting and constant 
self-praise.
[Skeptics, however, say that W.D.'s resignation 
could well be a ploy and his 
"loyal followers" will beg him to come back and 
continue his great 
"achievements."]
The other Convention was held by ISLAMIC SOCIETY 
OF NORTH AMERICA 
[ISNA]. 
Here the bazar was the great attraction. It was 
worth attending to promote Muslim 
businesses. It was also a good chance for young 
Muslims to meet other young 
Muslims and to get socialized. However, when it 
came to issues, ISNA was a 
non-event with a long list of mediocre speakers 
(with very few exceptions). It 
looks like ISNA sees no Islamic issues except a 
few related to Ashcroft's 
activities against innocent Muslims. It is 
reported that the FBI DIRECTOR was a 
speaker at the Convention. [How many of ISNA's 
"leaders" are agents of the 
government is anybody's guess.]
Owing to pathetic leadership and 
non-issue-related program, as well as 
fears generated by the persecution of Muslims, 
THERE WAS A HUGE DROP IN THE 
ATTENDANCE AT ISNA. Observers say that ISNA's 
attendance went down by as much as 
50%.
