Thought of the Day
Race Concepts:
Potent Weapons used by Oppressors
[With a comment on Cosby's view of African-Americans.]
From Dr. Abdul Alim Shabazz
"...the whole concept of race is political and is built upon a
false foundation (skin color/tone) and that its primary use via
well-orchestrated propaganda is to divide the non so-called white
populations of the planet against themselves so that they can be
more easily exploited, oppressed, suppressed, killed, murdered,
enslaved, segregated, discriminated against, colonized, raped,
dehumanized, duped, scorned, continually abused, controlled, and
kept in a subservient/inferior position using long-range
miseducation generated perpetually in a viscious well-established
unconscionable world-wide system of inequitable education
constantly being fed by the monolithically dominated capitalist
media.
Cobsy's remarks simply reflect his white supremacist miseducation.
It is almost unthinkable that he would have made similar remarks
to so-called white parents and guardians whose children, imitating
so-called black children, are dressing and behaving similarly.
Carter G Woodson is right: "When you control a man's thinking you
do not have to worry about his actions." Therefore, let me
humbly recommend that we all read or reread Woodson's The Miseducation
of the Negro" and DuBois' Ten Essays on Education.

Job Corps is a federally funded residential program for
economically and educationally deprived young people.
Students entered the program with a variety of social
problems and backgrounds.
I counseled both male and female
students between the ages of sixteen and twenty-three.
Issues and concerns facing the young people that came to
Job Corps were coping skills, academic performance, peer pressure,
sexual abuse, bereavement, substance abuse, education and vocational goals.
Part of my job as a counselor was to train the students in positive
decision -making skills, and the social skills needed to achieve
skills suitable for the workplace and to achieve personal success.
During my time at the Job Corps, I developed a program to aid
Students in improving their reading skills. The Students overall
tended to be poor readers and in need of a great deal of
motivation to read. My extra-curricular program served to
introduce students to a number of subjects and topics relative
to academic, social and personal growth.

Two African-American Muslims arrested: "Al-Qaida" Charges:
Drama of the Absurd
On May 30, 2005 the government arrested two African American Muslims,
Sabir from Florida and Shah from New York. The government is accusing
them of Al-Qaida links and of taking an oath of fealty to
Osama bin Laden himself.
A closer look at the charges indicates that this is another entrapment.
The government story is so absurd that one can hope that if any
sensible judge looks at the case, he'll throw it out.
One of the accused, we are told, was planning to teach karate to Al-Qaida.
[Don't laugh!] The other one is reported to have said that he will go
overseas and treat injured members of Al-Qaida. [He is a doctor.]
The story about the taped oath to support Osama creates the
impression that this is an entrapment. Hidden in the hearts of
most Muslims is love of Osama and if you can make them talk
long enough, you can always obtain a fragment of conversation
which shows sympathy for him. Then you can arrest them and use
the fragment as "evidence."

Prof. Sami Al-Arian Facing Grave Injustice:
Hadassah Lining Up "Witnesses" To Testify Against Him.
May 26, 2005
Tampa—
Earlier this week, Dr. Sami Al-Arian was denied a change of venue in
his case, despite providing strong evidence that 10 years of biased,
inflammatory media coverage by the Tampa Tribune has prejudiced
potential jurors in Florida—and Tampa in particular. Surveys in
the Tampa Bay area have shown a widespread bias against Dr. Al-Arian and
Palestinians
in general.
Obviously biased jurors such as a woman who said she is a fundraiser
for Hadassah (The Women's
Zionist
Organization for
America),
were kept in the jury pool despite defense objections. Defense
lawyers ultimately had to use one of their strikes to remove the
woman from the pool. A recent article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz
validated their concerns: It revealed that
Hadassah will provide housing for 100
Israelis
who will testify for the prosecution in the trial.
Jurors' inability to be fair was especially clear during three
days of questioning last week, when the overwhelming majority of
those questioned made biased and overtly racist statements against
Dr. Al-Arian, Muslims and Palestinians. Last fall, candidates in a
Florida senate campaign also smeared Dr. Al-Arian's name, discussing
his case without giving him the presumption of innocence.
Many potential jurors said the inflammatory campaign ads featuring
Dr. Al-Arian helped form their opinions on the case. Indeed,
if there were ever a case in which a change of venue is warranted,
this is it.
About the decision to deny a change in venue, Dr. Al-Arian's lawyer,
William Moffitt said: "I am extremely disappointed. This is probably
the first time that I will go into a case believing that my client
is not presumed innocent."
Defense lawyers cannot appeal the ruling until the trial, which
is scheduled to begin on June 6, is over.
We encourage as many people as possible to attend the trial
to show support. Email

Re: Jewish Elites behind Sudan-Darfur. [N.T. #42]
The Jewish opinions about forcing US to go and stop so- called
genocide in
Sudan
is nothing but a way to kill more and more Muslims as possible
taking one excuse or the other. We are goyim in their eyes and
their rabbis eyes; therfore it is Ok to cheat and kill the goyim,
that is us Muslims or Christians. Therefore Jews are called as
"maghzoobe alaihim" in the holy Quran, the one on whom Allah send
his wrath. [surah fatiha.] Inshallah Allah's punishment will come
on them soon.
They are forgetting that they were many people who spread tyrrany
and oppresion in the world under the so called banner of
"chosen people". And everybody knows if we turn the pages of
history what happened to them. If the
Jews
were chosen people Allah would not have sent the holocaust on
them under Hitler. bottom line: It is only since last twenty
thirty years or so they have begun to emerge because of failure
of Muslims to check upon their own deeds and deviation of
Muslims from the sunnah and the
Quran
and adopting the wrong ways of other people. Muslims have
worldwide realised this and are beginning to realise more
of their follies. Inshallah help from Allah will come soon
and the enemy will be defeated.
America is land of the free and it belongs to ALLAH. like any
other part of the Universe and people who spread evil will face
a terrible end. Evil can never triumph over good. It is the
law of nature. Actually Muslims should call themselves chosen
people because Allah has said so in the Quran in many places.
If the jews continue with their evil designs and plans they might
have to face a worse end than the holocaust as a punsiment form
ALLAH subhanawataala. All praise be to Allah lord of the worlds.

Afghanistan
Analysis
What's Behind the Attack on the Mosque in Kandahar?
[from our
Media
Monitor]
All the U.S. TV news channels, cable and evening, reported the
"attack on the mosque" in Kandahar in which a "suicide bomber"
killed 20 people and injured 45. No details were given on
TV but Associated Press [AP] and BBC gave details of the attack
which provide context.
Before we study the AP report, the context of the war in
Afghanistan should be looked at. During the U.S, assault on
Afghanistan in 2001, supposedly in retaliation for
9/11,
the U.S. air force continued its bombing campaign during the
sacred month of
Ramadan
when most Muslims pray and fast. The bombing had three
significant aspects:
-
Hundreds of Afghan villages were destroyed, sunk into the mud
and debris, both HOMES and MOSQUES. There were thousands of civilian
casualties, which were not acknowledged by the U.S. but which were
researched after the major bombing campaign ended.
-
The U.S. would bomb and wipe out an entire MOSQUE if it suspected
that even ONE Al-Qaeda "suspect" was praying in it. Most notorious
is the case of a mosque which was BOMBED by the U.S. DURING
TARAWIH PRAYERS.
[This was acknowledged later by National Public Radio, NPR.]
When the U.S. commander was asked about the destruction of the mosque
[500 kg bomb], he said that the U.S. suspected that an Al-Qaeda member
was in the congregation.
[The Urdu daily Ummat reported earlier this
year that the local Afghans have made a shrine of the grave of the
Al-Qaida member who was killed in the air attack. The villagers
continue to pray in the shattered mosque and ignore the brand
new mosque built by the U.S. for them to replace the one which
was bombed.]
-
The way Kandahar was taken by the U.S. in 2001 is interesting.
The U.S. rained bombs on the city, wiping out one third of it,
homes, mosques, offices, schools, everything. At this point the
Taliban decided to withdraw. They gave up the government to
prevent further destruction of the civilian population. They
withdrew in good order and are now returning as a viable fighting force.
ATTACK on the MOSQUE: June 1.
A religious preacher turned coat and joined the Karzai-U.S. coalition.
He used the pulpit of the Mullah Abdul Fayaz mosque to vilify the
Taliban and to urge support for Karzai and the Americans. On May 30,
he was gunned down by a sniper who escaped.
His funeral ceremony at the mosque was attended by a large force of
Karzai police officers and policemen. Among them was General Akram
Khakrezwal, Kabul's police commander, known for TORTURE, RAPE and
MURDER of Islamic opponents of the Kabul government.
The BBC report indicated why the martyrdom operator could not be
spotted. He was wearing police uniform and melded in with the
police officers present. Thus, evidently, the crowd was largely
police, known for their atrocities against Muslims.
The AP report agrees with BBC. It quotes a doctor at Kandahar Hospital,
Nazir Ahmadzai, who said of the 20 killed and 45 wounded "many of them
were Khakrezwal's bodyguards."
[Quoted in Bangladesh Observer of June 2.]
Observers find it somewhat ironic that Karzai's Interior Ministry
spokesman issued this statement: "They are the enemies of peace
and the enemies of Islam. Attacking Muslims while they are
offering prayers and performing religious ceremonies is completely
against Islam, against our country."
Reports indicate that the Interior Ministry, in conjunction with
U.S. troops, is terrorizing Afghan villagers across the country.
Afghans say, these people, the Karzais, are committing the biggest
sin against Islam, working hand-in-glove with a Kafir occupation army.
Observers see no grounds for the Interior Ministry to talk in terms
of Islam and Afghanistan.
{The Interior Ministry statement is contradicted by a statement
from Kandahar's deputy police chief, General Salim Khan, who said
the explosion occurred "near where people remove their shoes
before praying" [AP], not inside.}
The U.S. military spokesman in Afghanistan, Col. James Yonts, also issued a statement after the June 1 attack in which he condemned it as an "atrocious act of violence upon civilians and a mosque." Our reporters find it difficult to figure out what that statement means when the U.S. itself has bombed mosques, by the dozens, in both Afghanistan and in Iraq. The closest ally of the U.S., Israel has DESTROYED 135 MOSQUES in OCCUPIED PALESTINE. As for innocent civilians, the U.S. has killed thousands in Afghanistan and 100,000 in Iraq.
What then is the basis for such a morally high stance?
Autonomous groups, non-Muslims, such as the
International Committee of the Red Cross [ICRC] and
Amnesty International have testified that humanity is being
violated in Guantanamo Bay, and the Qur'an was desecrated by
the U.S. It borders on the comic for a U.S. military commander
to now claim to be worried about an attack on a mosque
WHAT DOES THE QUR'AN SAY ABOUT A MOSQUE WHICH SUBVERTS MUSLIMS
FROM WITHIN and is LINKED TO THE KUFFAR?
Most Muslims may not be aware of these verses of the Qur'an but
our researchers say the Afghans are aware of them. The Qur'an
calls such a mosque masjidan diraran wa kufran. Here is the text:
"And there are those who put up a mosque by way of mischief and
kufr - to disunite the Believers - and in preparation for one who
warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime. They will
indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good, but
Allah does declare that they are certainly liars. Never stand
thou forth therein..."
[The Qur'an 9:107-108.]
The verses are seen as a perfect fit for the Karzai-U.S. alliance.
----------------------
Interesting Propaganda Gambit By Kandahar Governor Gul Agha:
Immediately after the attack, the Governor of Kandahar, Gul Agha
issued a statement in which he said: " The attacker was a member
of al-Qaida. We have found documents on his body that show he was an
Arab."
Our researchers indicate that it would have been very difficult
for an Arab to mingle with the Afghan police officers whom the
attacker wanted to kill. Pushtu and Dari are difficult languages
for any Arab to pronounce. His accent would have given him away
in a second. Also, the facial features of Arabs are very different
from those of Afghans.
Thus Gul Agha was probably trying to stir up hatred against the Arabs,
to paint the attack not as an act of resistance but as the
terrorism of a "foreign" agent. For Karzai's people, the forces
of the kuffar are not "foreigners" but fellow Muslims from Arab
countries are "foreigners."
Gul Agha and his family are known for their corruption and for
their sexual exploits against both men and women. Such people
certainly do not belong in a mosque. Most reports indicate that
Gul Agha is protected by the U.S. air force.

Karachi, Pakistan:
Huge Funeral Procession for Murdered Islamic Activist:
Musharraf is Patron of Altaf-MQM Fascist Gang says Qazi Hussain Ahmad:
Remain Peaceful but Isolate them.
On May 30, assassins killed Muhammad Aslam, a Jamaate Islami leader
from the Landhi-Korangi area of Karachi, a vast lower middle class
region on the outskirts of the city.
On May 31, tens of thousands of Jamaate Islami workers as well
supporters from other Islamic parties and some from Peoples Party
and Muslim League [Nawaz Sharif] attended the funeral.
The funeral procession was five kilometers long.
As the body of the
martyr
arrived, the mourners chanted "Allahu Akbar" and openly blamed
the murder on gang leader Altaf Hussain, living under British
protection in London, England, and his ethnic group of killers
known as MQM which rules Karachi. Masses of mourners chanted:
"Shahadaton ka qafla ruka nahin thuma nahin/shaheed tera qafla
ruka nahin thuma nahin."
['The Caravan of martyrs has not stopped or paused/O martyr,
your caravan has not stopped or paused.']
"Qatil, qatil, Altaf qatil, Governor qatil"
[Murderer, murderer, Altaf murderer, Governor murderer.]
In a strong speech just before the burial, Qazi Hussain Ahmad,
national leader of Jamaate Islami, urged the people to isolate
Musharraf and Altaf by peaceful struggle and grassroots movement.
He said: THERE CAN BE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that the murderers
of Muhammad Aslam and others killed in Karachi are Altaf's gang
who are under the patronage of General Musharraf and MQM Governor
[Ishrat al-Abad]. MQM, he said, has been given free reign to carry
out terrorism and murder in Karachi. There is no Shia-Sunni conflict in
Pakistan,
he said. It is being created and stoked by the enemies of Pakistan.
Numerous speakers from a variety of viewpoints condemned the
murder and the murderers.
[There was a general strike in Karachi to protest the murder.]
