Rachel Corrie

A pretty and innocent girl Rachel Corrie 

Stood like a mountain in front of gross terrorism 

Although Bulldozer killed her, she is still alive 

And her fight continues against terrorism 

Rachel Corrie is the symbol of principle and humanity 

She is the crown and jewel of human dignity 

She is the voice of human conscience and morality 

Rachel Corrie! You will be loved and respected till eternity 


Rachel's blood drops poured in the sacred land 

Giving birth to the trees of freedom in the wonderland! 

The beautiful flowers of those trees remind us always

The softness of her heart, firmness of her moral ways. 

Corrie is larger than life, taller than others

Her mission, her zeal, her understanding 

Of the meanings of life are so perfect 

It will attract forever love and respect! 

1. VOICE OF IMAM JAMIL al-AMIN [ex-Rap Brown] FROM PRISON. Copies of the Block Report cd are now available. Why should the Imam's voice be heard and listened to carefully?
2. Because Imam Jamil is a natural heir to the heritage of Malcolm X [al-Hajj Malik Shabazz]. He is TOTALLY UNCOMPROMISING with the oppressors.
3. He understands America as few do. He speaks to the people of African descent in the pure language of Islam and makes it relevant.
4. Imam Jamil follows the Sunnah. You won't find any shilly shallying here. He accepts ALL of Islam.
5. He has been railroaded in a most shameful way. He is a family and community man and the system of injustice tried to present him as a criminal. [His wife, sis. Karima, is among the best of womanhood, and has been struggling all her life to stand with the Imam against oppression.]
6. Astonishing courage! Imam Jamil says that the Jewish power structure, big business interests linked to elite Jews, is behind the dirty lyrics and songs being pumped into the Black community, especially meant to demean the Black woman.

What's behind the "woman leading juma' " story?: "Made in USA Islam" is latest Fad. Qur'an without jihad verses? Sharia in Nigeria vs AIDS in South Africa

• Islamic calendar begins with Hijra of Muhammad, pbuh, from Makka to Madinah.
• The Chiefs of Makkah offered him, pbuh, a compromise. They would give him all the goods of the world and let him worship Allah if he stopped speaking against their idols.
• Muhammad, pbuh, rejected the compromise and the comforts of the world and left Makkah, destitute. Khadijah, r.a., and Abu Talib, his main supporters, had died. The Chiefs were uniting to kill him. He refused to compromise and left his homeland ONLY with his faith [iman].
• The Chiefs pursued him. He was alone; Abu Bakr, r.a., being his only Companion. He didn't even have food with him. Asma, r.a., at great risk, brought food to the "two," wrapped in her waistband which she had torn into two.
• It is this IMAN [faith] which is most valuable for the believer: the final guarantee of escape from the fire of hell.
• We too must do the Hijra, within our souls and minds, from the false idols and the temptations of shaitan, towards the Creator so that we can break the chains of our enslavement.
• Islam provides us not only the CONTENT and DIRECTION of our faith, it also gives us the FORM of our worship. The SALAT is the battle line of Islam. It has to be performed according to the Sunnah. No one is permitted to change it.
• Muslims have many problems: We have been victimized by our colonial masters and their copies among us. The weak aming us are exploited and oppressed by the strong. Women suffer the most.
• The Islamic movements are gradually changing this situation. More and more women are participating in the Islamic struggle, even in the Jihad [as in Chechnia].
• Change must come from WITHIN the Qur'an and the Hadith, and must be implemented by the forces of Islam. Only a fake change can appear if it imposed by those working with the oppressors.
• The oppressors are waging war on Islam. They destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq. They wiped out Fallujah, house by house, mosque by mosque. Palestine is torn asunder by the Zionist murder machine.
• The Hijab of our sisters is under attack. The enemies know that many of our sisters are denied their rights. Here they try to drive in a wedge.
• Now we see a DIRECT ATTACK on the arrangement and form of Islamic worship. A woman aligned to the American power structure seems to be under the impression that women will gain equality if she leads Juma prayers.
• Study the people who are creating this new "Islam." Their thoughts constitute a NEW BRAND OF "ISLAM," an "American Islam" meant to nationalize Islam in America and to cut it off from the Ummah.
• Research of the writings of the two women involved in the New York drama of a "woman leading juma," shows a clear denial of the Qur'an as well as outright rejection of the Hadith.
• For instance, one of them teaches that Jihad or armed struggle is not relevant today and the Qur'an's verses on Jihad were only for that time when the Prophet, pbuh, was facing opposition.
• The same person teaches that deterrent Islamic punishments ordained in the Qur'an were meant for 7th century Arabia, not for today.
• The second woman involved there, from India, thinks that Islam and Hinduism overlap, and Islam should not be seen as a religion distinct from other religions.
• Remember that 500 Muslim women were raped by Hindu mobs in Gujarat, India. That tragedy is never reflected in U.S. media. India practises rape as a weapon to terrorize the people of Kashmir. Ever heard of it on U.S. TV? But when these women in New York decided to change the Islamic form of worship, men sitting with women, there was immediate, deliriously exultant, coverage in the New York Times and the Washington Post
• In Iraq, after the destruction of our mosques, the U.S. has built new mosques which are being run according to "American Islam." Recitation of the Jihad verses is not permitted and Jihad is presented as an internal, spiritual struggle, like waking up for fajr!
• Muslim intellectuals need to study and and present a critical analysis of these moves. I won't be surprised if U.S. agents carry out the publication of an EXPURGATED EDITION of the Qur'an, with the Jihad and hudud verses removed. We must speak out boldly against these moves and defeat them right here in America.
• NOTICE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AFRICA. South Africa attained freedom from Apartheid. It was a great achievement but the influx of European culture was not stopped. The economy remained under European control. South Africa's diamonds are still sold by British Jews.
• 'Today South Africa is undergoing a HOLOCAUST. Nearly 25% of the people are dying of AIDS. The media talk of this all the time without discussing the European causative factors. An emergency would have been declared if this were happening in a European country or in America.
• By contrast, the media ignore 80% of AFRICA WHICH is MUSLIM. There is very little AIDS in Muslim Africa, and only in westernized enclaves.
• The media attack SHARIA in northern Nigeria without admitting that sharia is the DEMAND of the north Nigerian people who came out in mass support of it.
• The result is that AIDS incidence in northern Nigeria is near ZERO. The media tried to present the case of ONE Nigerian woman as the misuse of Sharia. It was used to attack Sharia, but when the higher Sharia court looked at the same case and threw it out, the media ignored the dismissal.
• The Hadith teaches us that we will become OF the people whom we imitate. We must study and rebut the moves of the Zionist Jews. The Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, has told us, flat out, to "OPPOSE the JEWS." There is no place in Islam for homosexuality, lesbianism, exploitation of women and the use of sex as a sales tool.
• The SIGN of those working to undermine Islam is that they RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS A LEGITIMATE ENTITY and want to be friends with American Jews who are funding Israel.

MASSIVE ANTI-MUSHARRAF, anti-U.S. RALLIES in Lahore and Quetta.

Imam Warith Deen Muhammad has Done Much Good.
Association with "Ahmeddis" [Qadianis] was only a Stage
