NPR Admits: Taliban Beat Back Attack on Kandahar Airport
No Army in the World has Withstood such Massive Bombing
Ayman Al-Zawahiri's Family Wiped out in U.S. bombing Raid
Bush Shuts Down Biggest Muslim Charity: Regime Targeting Islamic Work
{LOCAL NEWS FIRST: Comment by IDOL BREAKER: At President Bush's orders,
the
Holy Land Foundation (HLF) in Richardson, Texas, was shut down on
December 4.
HLF, the biggest Muslim charity in America, helped schools, hospitals
in
Palestine and provided relief to widows and orphans. Bush claims that
the
charity was helping fund Hamas' terrorism. It appears that for Bush, if
anyone helps the widow of a Palestinian cut down by the Zionist murder
machine, that charity is to be seen as "helping terrorism."
HLF is known for its loyalty to the U.S. It is supported by
well-established,
rich Palestinians whom we have sometimes criticized for identifiying
themselves too closely with the White American power structure. Bush's
action
shows that he is making war on all organized Muslim activity, be it for
charity or for any freedom struggle. Even totally docile Muslims are
being
terrorized.
As we had pointed out earlier, HLF and its affiliates made a gigantic
strategic blunder by calling for a bloc vote for Bush. It is time for
Muslims
to recognize that the Israeli Likud is now in power in America. DEAR
ARAB -
AMERICAN MUSLIMS, do not demean yourself further by having iftars in
the
White House. LET'S UNITE TO REJECT ANY EID MESSAGES or other signs of
hypocrisy from Bush.
Earlier Bush banned Al-Barakat which STRUCK A SERIOUS BLOW AT THE
SOMALI
COMMUNITY. In fact Somalis living in Minneapolis held a protest
demonstration
to condemn the government action. Unfortunately the rich Muslim
'leaders'
paid no attention to the Somalis.
Remember! The American flag did not save the Indians at Sandy Creek and
it
will not save us. Allah alone can save us. Come out bravely now and
reject
this government hypocrisy of "war on terrorism": This is nothing but
war on
Islam.}
WAR NEWS: December 4, 2001. In its morning broadcast, National Public
Radio
(NPR) admitted that the U.S.- backed attack on Kandahar airport has
been
beaten back by the Taliban.
The attack was launched behind a curtain of ferocious bombing by the
U.S. air
force. It could have been beaten back only if the Taliban inflicted
HEAVY
losses on the attackers. The U.S. is refusing to reveal its losses or
that of
its tribal mercenaries. The U.S. media today referred to ONE U.S.
combat
injury in the attack. Does a force withdraw because only ONE of its
soldiers
has been injured?
The mothers of American soldiers will soon need to know what is really
going
on.
IRONICALLY the tribal mercenaries working for the Americans in this
attack
take orders from Mr. Karazai WHO HAS ALREADY BEEN APPOINTED PRIME
MINISTER OF
THE NEW AFGHANISTAN! Observers say that American puppets will probably
face
the same fate as the Soviet puppet Najibullah.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN THE JALALABAD area, the number of civilians killed in Afghan
villages by
U.S. B-52s has reached 80. It is reported by U.S. media that AYMAN
Al-ZAWAHIRI'S WIFE, FOUR DAUGHTERS AND SON WERE ALL KILLED IN THE
BOMBING.
The earlier news that Dr. Al-Zawahiri, close ally of Mujahid Osama, was
himself injured has now been contradicted by U.S. media. Al-Zawahiri is
an
Egyptian Islamist who learned some of his ideas about Jihad, as a
religious
obligation for all Muslims, from the fiery orations of Dr. Omar Abdel
Rahman,
the blind Shaikh imprisoned in a cell in Rochester, Minnesota.
Observers say that the murder of the ENTIRE ZAWAHIRI family is a
violation of
international law. Murder of the families of leaders is unacceptable
even in
war. Years back, the murder of Qaddafi's daughter created quite a
furor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Taliban with the legendary Mullah Omar, who lives like the Sahaba,
have
now withstood 57 DAYS AND NIGHTS OF BOMBING BY THE MOST POWERFUL
AIRFORCE IN
THE WORLD. Historians say, no other army in the world could survive,
let
alone fight, after such terrible pounding. The Taliban have no air
force and
no air defenses.
The only comparable incidents in modern history are Dunkirk, when the
Germans
cornered the British army, and Stalingrad, when the Russians withstood
the
Germans. However both the British and the Russians had some air support
and
had channels for re-supply and escape. The Taliban's supply routes are
totally cut off.
If the Iraqis or the Chinese or the Pakistanis start supplying
Kandahar, the
situation could change into a defeat for the Americans.
Unfortunately the Taliban are badly outnumbered and outgunned. Only
their
faith keeps them going.

OUR BOYCOTT ORGANIZER IS BACK: Please boycott all non-Muslim charities
to
make up for the charity Bush has denied to Palestinian families by
banning
Holy Land Foundation. Make sure you do not buy any Jewish products and
please
do not go to Disney this winter.
Remember the children of Palestine and Afghanistan are dying.

NOW FOR SOME COMIC RELIEF: We have received two hate letters: One from
Mauri
Salaakhan and the other from Yahya (John) of ININ@ININ.NET. Her are
some
excerpts: {For full text of these gems of wisdom, write to us.}
MAURI SALAAKHAN's letter came with all the trappings of sincere
personal
advice but he had at the same time emailed it far and wide. Part of it
sounds
like a threat:
"How many verbal and (from what I've heard) physical assaults must you
bring
upon yourself and/or others close to you before this message sinks in?
How
many?"
Part of it is simply insults:
"Are you incapable of controlling yourself? If this is the case,
brother,
you really need to get some professional help!"
Then he goes on to claim that we are "counter-revolutionaries". This is
really funny! People who oppose Bush and co are
"counter-revolutionaries!"
according to this wise man. Here it is in Saalakhan's own words. Note
that he
thinks Jamaat al-Muslimeen has been marginalized. (Quite a margin!)
"You, and others who think like you, come off as if you are the last
word on
revolution, when in actuality you have all the markings of a
counter-revolutionary; and as a consequence you have marginalized
yourself,
and single handedly rendered Jamaat al-Muslimeen to the margins of
insignificance as well (and this is sad). Additionally, at least in my
case,
you have also sown the seeds of distrust. I could never trust someone
like
you, because you fit the profile of an agent-provocatuer. (And I'm not
saying
this is what you are; I'm simply saying you fit the profile)."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We got this sincere advice from Salaakhan for crticizing those who
kow-tow to
the power structure. We have no personal grudge against anyone; nor
have we
ever carried out any criticism which was not about public policies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then we got our second hate letter from Yahya (John) who lives in
Montreal
and is so full of jealousy that he has convinced himself that no one
likes
our paper New Trend. Here is what Yahya of ININ has to to say:
He threatens us with prison at the hands of his friends in CAIR.
Because we
criticized CAIR, we should have been put in prison! (It could happen
because
CAIR people are quite close to Bush.)
Remember that Salaakhan and Yahya are Muslims, fasting in Ramadan and
writing
this stuff. It's about such people Maulana Maudoodi wrote that its a
jungle
out there with all sorts of creatures who all claim to be Muslims.
Anyway,
here is Yahya of ININ in his own words. Enjoy!:
"I have more than once suggested Siddque get professional help. I have
also
urged CAIR more than once to file a suit against him for his lies.
Since
they are good Muslims they did not want to do this. They have been kind
to
him. He could have been behind bars long ago if it were not for the
kindness of CAIR. He is only free due to the goodnes of CAIR. But the
good
thing is the Pakistani community in the city where I live know of him
and
his "New Trend" and they look at it with utter scorn and consider him a
nut case. It is prety much the same in Baltimore were he lives and
provides a base for his cult."

The case of Imam Jamil al-Amin is coming up in January. We urge Muslims
to
unite in a call for his release and an end to his farcical 'trial'. If
you
would like to join this united action, let us know.

HAVE YOU READ THE TEXT OF THE NOVEMBER 10 RESOLUTION of the ISLAMIC
MOVEMENT?
Activists from across America are supporting it. Let us have your
endorsement. {Message from Jamaat al-Muslimeen.}
