IMPORTANT NEWS: A
CIA
AGENT WAS KILLED, Feb.6, IN
AFGHANISTAN.
The government
has presented it as an "accident": the agent is
said to have mishandled a
grenade (!) which exploded killing him and
injuring two other special
operatives. Observers are skeptical that CIA
agents trained enough to be
sent to Afghanistan would be involved in an
elementary grenade exercise.

In his UN speech, Sec. Colin Powell was brazen
enough to bring in the
so-called Ricin conspiracy connected with the
arrests of Algerian Muslims in
UK. As we showed in a previous report, British
police did not find ANY TRACE
of Ricin during the arrests in which an Algerian
used a kitchen knife. Looks
like, Powell was desperate to find anything he
could use to fill out his
speech.
SIMILARLY, as Ralph Nader noticed, President
BUSH,
in his speech, USED THE
ARRESTS OF THE YEMENI MUSLIMS IN BUFFALO as
"evidence" though the process of
law has not taken place there.

The Ugly face of Space Exploration
By Ridhwan Shaikh
While the world mourned the deaths of NASA's
seven Astronauts, the
Iraqi
people rejoiced in the streets. On the surface
this would be an inhumane way
to act, after all what has space exploration got
to do with the impending
growing fears of the world on the annihilation of
Iraq. Plenty!!... when one
of the manned crew is by the name of astronaut
Colonel Ilan Ramon. It may
just be an Iraqi reaction that an
Israeli
astronaut plunged to his death but
Ramon's track record makes interesting reading
and one mustask oneself if
space mission objectives are indeed not part and
parcel of U.S.A's national
defence and attack programmes.
What the majority of
media
stations and
newspaper publications on the
aftermath of this incident conveniently did not
tell you about Mr. Ilan Ramon
was the fact that he was an Israeli fighter pilot
who had bombed Iraq's
nuclear reactor in 1981, as reported in the
Guardian
(
http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/usa/international_links.htm
).
Something which
Nasa's Official website had deliberately omitted
to report, but were moved
enough to write a segment of Ramon's part in the
invasion of
Lebanon
in 1982
as Operation Peace for Galilee. The Israeli
government not to miss a gift
horse in the mouth not only ordered Israeli flags
to be flown at half-mast
but the government duly used the opportunity to
reiterate their legitimacy of
a western nation standing firm against the
barbarians (No surprises who the
implied party are!!).
It's high time Muslims understand the growing
need to band together and
put petty differences aside and awaken from the
drug intoxicating sleep
Western governments have effortlessly put us
under, by helping so called
official Muslim organizations and parties to
propagate to Muslims that Islam
is safe and sound, leave everything to us!!
Muslims must understand that like the financial
arm of institutions such as
the World Trade Center, World Bank and IMF, NASA
is also government funded
with the sole intention of using space
exploration as a smokescreen for its
ultimate objective - National and international
interests. The serial
killer who is America will continue to attack and
try to destroy Islam with
all the tools at its disposal until it is
stopped. Muslims can work towards
stopping this killer who roams freely in the
world by acting now: -
Write to your local MP about NASA's involvement
with U.S foreign policy and
allowing Israel to further boost their political
aims in the war of Iraq.
www.faxyourmp.com
- Demand an explanation
from NASA why they let an
Israeli astronaut be at the forefront of Bush's
drive with 'War on Iraq' and
increase hostilities between the Muslim and
Christian worlds. Either by
emailing on
comments@hq.nasa.gov
You may get a
faster response by sending a
letter to one of the NASA centers. NASA
HEADQUARTERS Washington, DC 20546
981 civil servants -
Ask the European Space Agency what their stance
is on using space exploration
as a political front for Bush and its ally's
evil designs. By emailing

PROPAGANDA USED TO REMOVE LEADING IMAM FROM HIS

Imam Warithuddin ‘Umar Responds to

Smear Campaign
Accusing Him of Teaching Terrorism
False Accusations of "wahhabism" exposed. Part of
Campaign to Attack ALL
MUSLIMS WHO FOLLOW THE
QUR'AN
AND THE SUNNAH
***************************************************************************
[Imam ‘Umar has appeared frequently in our
columns. He is the foremost Imam
in the da'wah connected to the spread of Islam in
the Prison system. He is
obviously being targeted for his views rather
than for anything he has done
on the job. The
Zionists
do not want any voices
to be heard which challenge
their view of the world and their 24/7 propaganda
blitz.]
"Praise be to Allah. We praise Him. We seek His
Guidance and beg for His
forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the
evil of our souls and the evil
of our hands. Whom Allah guides none can lead
them astray. Those whom Allah
permits to be led astray, they have no one to
guide them. I bear witness
there is no god but Allah. He is unique and has
no associates and I bear
witness that Prophet Muhammad is His Messenger.
Oh you who believe, Fear
Allah as He should Feared and die not except as
Muslims
As salaamu alaikum-
The hostile article on 2/5/03 by Paul Barrett in
the Wall Street Journal (How
a Chaplain Spread Extremism To an inmate Flock)
is an unfortunate and weak
patchwork of lies, half truths, inaccuracies, and
misquotes. The damaging
comments attributed to me are not mine. Barrett
and the editors at the Wall
Street Journal have taken license in using
statements out of context from an
unpublished book "The Last Quarter Memoir:
Twenty-Five Years a Muslim
Chaplain" authored by this writer. The reporter
has taken inconsequential
facts and false perspectives that distorts the
truth with the aim to confuse
and halt the growth of Islam in American prisons.
The reporter's persistent
inquiries to the Federal Bureau of Prisons and
the New York State Department
of Correctional Services with insinuations and
false assertions of my
opinions and points of view have caused the BOP
to terminate my services and
the NYSDOCS to bar me from all state prisons
where I do da'wah, without
notice or cause. This has caused great harm and
pain to me and my family, and
loss of income.
The article makes suggestion that this writer
promotes terrorism and
misbehavior among Muslim inmates. This is the
farthest thing from the truth.
My history of twenty-eight years working in
prisons has been to promote the
good values of the religion of Islam and to
encourage men and women to
embrace the life-saving teaching of this profound
religion.
There is an apparent effort to not only besmirch
my work history, but to
endanger me by suggesting that I am telling the
law enforcement to look to
African American Muslims in prison who will be
"The natural candidates to
press such an attack..." against America. I seek
refuge in Allah from such
evil. The reporter failed to report the accurate
history of my working with
the Nation of Islam,
the World Community of Islam in the West,
the American Muslim Mission,
Dar al Islam,
Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jammat, Sunni Muslims and
Shiite Muslims, Moorish Science Temple members,
Salafi and other emerging
groups who are identified in prisons to one
degree or another. My goal and
duty has always been to bring Muslims together in
Tawheed to the Qur'an and
the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. Of course this
was not reported. As Chaplains
we respect and accept all of the good Imams in
America and the good
organizations for inmates to come home to. The
politics of the Muslim
community is not dealt with in the prisons.
As Chaplains we accepted the good services of
donors that make annual hajj
packages available for Muslim Chaplains. We
solicited the help of the Saudi
Arabian Embassy to make flight and land
accommodations for these hard working
Imams who work as prison Chaplains. The 16 days
for hajj is in no way an
opportunity for Imams to go to
Mecca
and be
"indoctrinated in so-called
Wahhabism" as if our Imams are empty headed
robots with no capacity to think.
The reporter was told that the term Wahhabi and
Wahhabism are degrading,
demeaning terms and there is no such Islamic
school of thought. The Meccan
teachers and scholars are looked on by our
workers as part of the Muslim
community and nothing more. They are our brothers
and they have resources
that we can use. The reporter was given an
orientation about the good work of
the Muslim Chaplains and visited two facilities
where he found good religious
programs. This was not reported.
The article is an all out attack on Islam and
they apparently have future
plans to attempt to take over the Muslim lands,
so they begin by spreading
falsehood in America about the intentions of
Muslims here and Muslims in
other lands. American leaders and some citizens
are afraid and they are
hitting out at perceived enemies. ALL OF US
Muslims will become their targets
in time! No group will be overlooked! We have an
obligation to allay their
fears by educating them about the good of Islam
and uniting and letting them
know that we are united and we will not be silent
about their attacks.
It seems that they have become successful in my
character assassination.
Time will tell. I'm looking to legal counsel to
see if there is legal relief
from their acts of defamation and conveyance of
unfavorable impressions to
expose me to public contempt and scorn. I ask the
Muslim community to pray
for me as I pray for you and not to join the
enemies of Islam. My prayer and
my service, my life and my death are all for
Allah."

NEW PLANS FOR OPPRESSION OF AMERICA'S MUSLIM
GREENSBORO - Muslims for a Better North Carolina
is calling for the
resignations of U.S. Representatives Howard Coble
and Sue Myrick.
Coble, who heads the Judiciary Subcommittee
on Crime, Terrorism and
Homeland Security, said Tuesday on WKZL that he
agreed with President
Roosevelt's decision to imprison thousands of
Japanese-Americans in
internment camps.
Some probably were intent on doing harm to
us, Coble said, just as some
of these Arab-Americans are probably intent on
doing harm to us.
Last week, in a speech to the conservative
Heritage Foundation, Myrick
spoke about domestic security threats and
referred to Arab-Americans saying,
Look at who runs all the convenience stores
across the country.
Badi Ali, president of Muslims for a Better
North Carolina, called Feb.6
for the resignations of both representatives.
Trent Lott's racially charged comments led to
a political firestorm
against him, Ali said. But when Coble and Myrick
express racial bias and
prejudice against Arab-Americans, little more
than a rustle of discontent is
heard. Prejudice against Muslims and
Arab-Americans seems to be more readily
acceptable in this country.
