Will Muslms be Fooled?: Behind the 
Sharon-Bush 
Peace smokescreen
- 
On March 22, 2005 
Israel 
announced plans for the construction of 3,500 new settler units 
around East Jerusalem
 
- 
A Greek national named Nicholas Papademus sold the massive 
Arab 
property in JERUSALEM owned collectively by the Arab Orthodox 
community to "unnamed Jewish businessmen." He had been placed 
in charge of the properties by Irinius I, the Christian Orthodox 
Patriarch of Jerusalem. Papademus fled to the United States 
with millions of dollars he collected for the sale. The 
Christian community is calling for the dismissal of 
Patriarch Irinius, accusing him of "conniving with Israel."

Special 
New Trend 
Report
Huge 
INDIAN 
MUSLIM Rallies PROTEST U.S. 
QUR'AN 
DESECRATION: FACE oppression by HINDUS in areas where Muslims are few
It turns out that the biggest demonstrations against the U.S. 
desecration of the Qur'an in Guantanamo Bay were not in 
Pakistan 
or 
Indonesia 
but in India.
In New Delhi, after Friday prayers in the Jami' mosque, a 
vast crowd gathered and tried to march on the U.S. embassy but 
was blocked by a large Indian police force.
[U.S. sources place the demonstrators at 30,000 but Muslims say 
there were at least 50,000.]
Adressing the rally, Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari said that Muslims 
will not tolerate 
America's 
desecration of the Qur'an and will sacrifice themselves if necessary. 
He called on America to apologize and criticized the Indian 
government for its silence.
Waves of protestors of marching towards the U.S. embassy in 
intense heat carried placards reading: "Down, Down USA," 
"America is the biggest terrorist," etc.
In Calcutta, India, thousands of Muslims protested 
against the desecration outside the central Jami' mosque 
and were addressed by imam Muhammad Noor Barkati. The 
protestors burned the American flag and raised anti-American slogans.
Thousands of Muslims also protested in Lucknow, India. 
Many of the marchers were holding up copies of the Qur'an.
---------------------------------------
HINDUS STRIKE BACK
In Shahjahanpur, on the outskirts of Lucknow, India, Hindus 
have demolished an old mosque and taken "permission" from the DIG
[police chief] of Bareilly area to build a temple on the spot. 
Local Muslim leader Zafaryab Jilani held protest rally on May 25 
to stop the Hindu plan.
In Danapur the Hindus have demolished a historic mosque. Maulana 
'Amiduzzaman Keranvi, General Secretary of All India Majlis 
Mushawarat has demanded that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh 
investigate the tragedy and have the mosque rebuilt.
In Hyderabad area [Matangi, Sangareddy], Central India, the 
local administration has demolished two mosques, one on the 
excuse of broadening a road and the other on the other on the 
allegation that it was built on government land. Local Muslims 
have held several protests but their voice has not been heard.
Also in Hyderabad Deccan's district of Medak, local administration 
has seized 43 acres of land belonging to the Waqf [endowment] 
of Jami mosque Nursapur. The land is rapidly being developed 
as "government land" and is being parcelled out to private 
owners to build on it.

UNDERSTANDING the Al-ARIAN CASE: Prof. Sami Al-Arian is 
being victimized by Zionist lobby: As the trial of 
Palestinian 
professor Al-Arian began, the injustice of it all became evident. 
Here are a few points readers should remember:
- 
Prof. Al-Arian has NEVER committed any crime against the 
United States. In fact he was a staunch supporter of the U.S. 
government and was an honored guest at the White House.
 
- 
The prosecution alleges that he was the leader of a Palestinian 
faction known as Islamic Jihad. This faction too has NEVER 
launched an attack on the U.S.A. nor has it ever said that it 
would fight the U.S. It is a resistance group which focuses 
on fighting Israel. Its members have suffered more at Israeli 
hands than what its fighters have inflicted on the occupation forces.
 
- 
The prosecution accuses Prof. Al-Arian of "racketeering." Readers 
should understand how this kind of crminal charge could be brought 
against an opponent of Israel. What America's Jews have done is: 
They induced the U.S. government to declare Palestinian resistance 
groups as "terrorists." As a result, if ANY money is sent to 
Palestine and some of it reaches the widow or children of someone 
who gave his life fighting Israel, it is called "racketeering," 
a criminal offense with many years in jail if proven.
 
- 
So, all the Jews have to do now is to prove that Prof. Al-Arian 
sent some money to Palestine. This is easy to do because everyone 
sends some money to his home country. Now if you send to a 
charity and some of the charity's help reaches the WIDOW or 
ORPHAN of a 
martyr, 
then you are a "racketeer!"
 
- 
Question: Why were the Jews able to get away with this nonsense? 
When the U.S. was moving to place Palestinian resistance groups on 
the list of terrorists, Muslim groups who controlled America's Muslims 
at that time, such as ISNA, 
ICNA, 
W.D., CAIR, AMC kept absolutely quiet. They wanted to curry favor 
with the White House and thought that by keeping quiet about the 
big Jewish move, they would make their masters happy.
[Since then it has been discovered that Al-Amoudi of AMC and 
W.D. Muhammad worked for the State Department. Syed Sayeed of 
ISNA has had very close relationship with the FBI as indicated 
by himself. There may be other as yet undisclosed agents.]
 
- 
The result of this cooperation with the oppressors: 
American Jews can send millions of dollars to Israel, 
including funds for Jewish settlers who have murdered 
Palestinians, and for Israeli troops who have dynamited 
homes and destroyed olive gardens. But if Prof. Sami al-Arian 
sent money to Palestinians, that is "racketeering!"
[The Muslim 4 letter groups have failed miserably to stop 
Jewish moves. They have lost the support of U.S. Muslims but 
it is already too late.]
 
- 
The prosecution alleges that an American was among the Jews in 
occupied Palestine who was killed in an Islamic Jihad attack. 
Again this is totally one sided reporting. An American woman, 
Rachel Corrie, 
was murdered by an Israeli bulldozer driver who was demolishing 
a Palestinian home in front of which she was protesting peacefully. 
NO JEW HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO TRIAL in America for this crime.
 
- 
As the case began, the prosecution brought a PALEASTINIAN witness 
named Arafat who claimed that Prof. Al-Arian invited him to join 
a faction of Islamic Jihad which wanted to attack civilians! 
The credibility of this witness can be gauged from the following 
comment in the Tampa Tribune newspaper:
 
- 
"Defense attorney William Moffitt attacked Arafat's credibility 
during his cross examination. Arafat admitted that he lied 
repeatedly on job applications, illegally registered to vote 
and has been paid $35,000 by the government for work on a 
number of cases."

5 PAKISTANIS ARRESTED in LODI, CALIFORNIA for "Al-Qaeda" LINKS! 
General Musharraf should be Arrested if this is true! 
Timing is the key to this story.
A Pakistani, Hamid Hayat and his father Umar Hayat, have been 
arrested by the U.S. government. We are told that the son confessed 
to TRAINING IN AN AL-QAEDA CAMP in RAWALPINDI!!! in 2003 and 2004. 
His father used to send him $100 a month, so he too is arrested. 
Both allegedly lied to the FBI.
When the government looked closely at the Lodi community, it was 
found that the immigration papers of the local imam, 
Muhammad Adil Khan, his son, 19 year old Muhammad Hasan Adil, 
and the former imam, Shabbir Ahmed, were not in order. So the 
three were also arrested and added to the media's roster of 
"connections" to terrorism.
Now, the question arises, how could there be an "Al-Qaeda 
training camp" in Rawalpindi where America's main man, 
CIA 
agent General Musharraf, has his headquarters. Isn't it about 
time that the FBI arrested General Musharraf and tried him 
for harboring an entire "Al-Qaeda training camp" in his back yard!
Our analysts say that the arrests of the Hayat father and son 
might turn out to be a nasty joke, perhaps perpetrated by a 
collaborator. There has been bickering going on between two 
mosques in the area. The result is that the entire community 
of 2,000 Pakistanis is now facing investigation.
The KEY to the whole situation is the government's statement 
that it had been keeping an eye on the Lodi community for 
quite some time. It may well turn out that the government 
studies possible victims and then moves in when the arrest 
of victims can suit its policies.
At this time, Bush is PUSHING for RENEWAL of the PATRIOT ACT. 
Hence we have the sudden arrests, first of two African American Muslims 
and now of 4 Pakistanis. The impression being sought is: 
There is danger to America, so let's renew the Patriot Act.

Jewish Hand Behind Iraq War: Antisemitism or Fact?
Here is Proof from the Horse's Mouth
Even before the Bush administration moved against the Taliban, 
America's Jewish leadership was pressing Bush for an attack on Iraq. 
Here are excerpts from The 
9/11 
Commission Report: Authorized Edition.
"{Rice} recalled that in the first Camp David session chaired by 
the President, Rumsfeld asked what the administration should do 
about Iraq. Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz made the case for striking 
Iraq during 'this round' of the 
war on terrorism."
"Secretary Powell recalled that Wolfowitz - not Rumsfeld- argued 
that Iraq was ultimately the source of the terrorist problem and 
should therefore be attacked. Powell said that Wolfowitz was not 
able to justify his belief that Iraq was behind 9/11. 'Paul was 
always of the view that Iraq was a problem that had to be dealt 
with,' Powell told us. 'And he saw this as one way of using this 
event as a way to deal with the Iraq problem.' "
[Both quotes are from page 335.]
The report says that at that time Bush did not accept Wolfowitz's 
viewpoint but ...:
"Within the Pentagon, Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz continued to 
press the case for dealig with Iraq. Writing to Rumsfeld on 
September 17 in a memo headlined "Preventing More Events," he 
argued that if there was even a 10 percent chance that 
Saddam Hussain was behind the 9/11 attack, maximim priority 
should be placed on eliminating that threat. Wolfowitz contended 
that the odds were 'far more' than 1 in 10, citing Saddam's praise 
for the attack, his long record of involvement in terrorism, and 
theories that Ramzi Yousef was an Iraqi agent and Iraq was behind 
the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center."
"The next day, Wolfowitz renewed the argument, writing to 
Rumsfeld about the interest of Yousef's co-conspirator in the 
1995 Manila air plot in crashing an explosives-laden plane into 
CIA headquarters, and about information from a foreign 
government regarding Iraqis' involvement in the attempted 
hijacking of a Gulf Air flight. Given this background, he 
wondered why so little thought had been devoted to the danger 
of suicide pilots, seeing a 'failure of imagination' and a 
mind-set that dismissed possibilities."
[See pages 335-336 for these quotes.]
The 9/11 Commission, in a note to Wolfowitz' theory about 1993, comments:
"We have found no credible evidence to support theories of 
Iraqi government involvement in the 1993 WTC bombing."
It points out that even before 9/11, Wolfowitz was trying to 
connect the 1993 WTC bombing to Iraq AS EARLY AS JUNE 2001:
"Wolfowitz added in his memo that he had attempted in June to get 
the CIA to explore these theories."
[See note 73 on page 559 for both quotes.]
---------------------------------
It is interesting to note that within the Democratic Party too, 
Senator Lieberman 
has been pressing relentlessly in support of the Iraq war. 
We need more information on Lieberman but there can be little 
doubt that America's Jewish elites as a body wanted Iraq to 
be attacked and President Saddam Hussain to be removed. 
Every prominent American Jew attacked Saddam, with little or no evidence, 
and thus solidified the support for Bush's invasion of Iraq.

Pregnant Muslim Mother's brutal murder Remains Unsolved.
Why Were Amina Wadud and Asra Nomani so heavily Publicized 
while Iman Muhanna's Right to Life was ignored?
by Kelly "Izdihar" Crosby
I remembering going to the masjid one Friday afternoon on 
December 17th, 2004. I sat in the musalla while the imam gave his 
khutbah. 
As usual, he ended his sermon and the congregation prayed 
the Jumah prayer. We sat restlessly, talking and catching up 
with friends, as we waited for the imam to give the Friday 
afternoon announcements. But on this seemingly typical day, 
the Muslim community of New Orleans and the attendants of the 
Abu Bakr al-Siddique Masjid would receive the most horrible 
and heartbreaking news. One of our beloved sisters, 
Iman Muhanna Mohamed, was brutally murdered. 
She was stabbed 33 times; 
fatal wounds that ended her life and the life of her unborn baby girl.
I remember hearing the imam, shock and grief laden upon his voice, 
as he announced this tragedy to our congregation. I remember the 
sisters who were crying and the silence of those so appalled 
that they didn't know what to say or how to react. There are 
many things I remember about that day and such things continue 
to stay with me.
I rushed home to watch the news to see what the reporters would say. 
What did the police know? Was it a hate crime or a robbery? 
Were there any possible leads? With much sadness I must report 
that since that day, we do not know who has committed this crime. 
Unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure of knowing 
Iman Muhanna Mohamed. Our paths never crossed and the sadness 
of our community is a reflection of what we have lost with her death.
Through reports on the news, internet searches, and warm stories 
told by friends, I began to develop a portrait of a faithful 
servant of our community. She and her unborn daughter were survived 
by her husband and two children. She received her education from 
the Islamic University of Gaza and served as a teacher at the 
Muslim Academy of New Orleans. She taught the Qur'an, the word of 
Allah subhana wa ta'ala, to our youth. She was loved by many and 
she will not be forgotten.
Since the day of her murder, however, many of us have noticed the 
silence. It is the silence of the mainstream 
media. 
While her murder was covered by the local news, a local Islamic 
newspaper entitled "Iqra!" and various newspapers in the Middle East, 
the major television networks have said nothing. 
Even more troubling is the lack of coverage from Muslim 
publications and media networks. One would think that such 
a brutal murder would garner attention from Muslim and non-Muslim 
media outlets all over the United States.
After all, the murder of Laci Peterson and her unborn child 
captivated the American audience for months. Perhaps it is because 
her husband is not a suspect and our anti-Islamic culture is used to 
hearing stories about the brutality of Muslim men towards their women. 
I suspect that if he stood accused, her story would have been plastered 
on every newspaper, television show and website across America.
Mahdi Bray and the Muslim American Society has made it their 
personal duty to make sure that her story is not laid to rest. 
He also noticed the lack of attention regarding Sister Iman's death, 
stating, "Frankly, I'm amazed at how little media attention this 
case has received. The murder of a pregnant women normally 
receives big nationwide attention by all major media outlets."
With the controversial woman-led prayer of Dr. Amina Wadud, there 
has been much talk about women's rights in Islam. There has been 
much debate and argumentation over hijab, female imams, and a 
new feminist discourse in Islam. Asra Nomani, author of "Standing 
Alone in Mecca," who is leading a Women's Freedom Tour throughout 
America, has not made any mention of Iman Muhanna Mohamed and 
others like her.
Amongst all the bickering, one of our 
rights 
as women that is undoubtedly confirmed by the Qur'an, took a 
backseat to the media spectacle of Dr. Amina Wadud's prayer 
service. The right that I am speaking of is 
a 
woman's 
right to live. 
It is the right of every woman to live a life of safety, 
protection and honor. Our holy book says, "He who kills a 
human being is like killing the whole world." It was a right 
and liberty that was robbed from Iman Muhanna Mohamed and her 
unborn child on that December morning. It is a right that is 
violated continuously against women inside and outside of the 
Muslim community. And while debating these trendy, hot-bottom 
issues seem important, let us not forget what really matters-the 
health, happiness, and peace for all men and women.
For more information about this case you can contact the 
Crimestoppers and the West Bank Muslim Association that have 
raised a reward worth $45,000 dollars for tips leading to an 
arrest and conviction. If you have any information about her 
death, please call (504) 822-111 or 1-877-903-7867.
