ISRAELI CRIME UNREPORTED in the U.S.
November, 9: Israeli forces entered Al-Khalil [known as Hebron
to the Jews] in occupied Palestine and kidnaped 24 Palestinian
girls. They are being held in Israeli prisons. Amjad Najjar,
Chairman of the Al-Khalil Prisoners support group, says
Palestinians have been receiving threats from Jewish settlers
and Israeli troops warning them of similar kidnapings.

A Message to non-Muslims from a Wise Woman:
"September 11 changed my life once again... The September
apocalypse was a revelation - an 'unveiling' of a reality
that had been there all the time but which we had not seen
clearly enough before: we live in one world. What happens
in Gaza or Afghanistan today will have repercussions in
New York or London tomorrow. We in the First World cannot
continue to isolate ourselves in our wealth and good fortune.
If we do that, those who feel dispossessed or excluded will
come to us, in a terrible form. The study of other people's
religious beliefs is now no longer merely desirable, but
necessary for our very survival..."
[The Spiral Staircase. My Climb out of Darkness by
Karen Armstrong, p. 304.]

A brief tribute on Iqbal's anniversary, Nov.9
Poet of the East, Muhammad Iqbal to Muslims
The poet explains the greatest worry of Satan [Iblis].
Iblis says:
"Ho na jay ashkara shara-e-paighambar kahin
Alhazr! 'Ain-e-paighambar say saw bar alhazr.
hafiz-e-namoose-zun, murd azmaa, murd afrin.
Maut ka paigham har nau'-e-ghulami kay liay...
iss say burh kur awr kia fikr-o-'amal ka inqilab
Padshahon ki nahin, Allah ki hay yeh zamin!"
[Iqbal in "Armaghan-e-hijaz," collected in Kulliyat-e-Iqbal,
translated by Kaukab Siddique from Urdu.]
"Let not the Sharia brought by the Messenger become extant.
Beware! A hundred times, beware of the Messenger's Charter,
Which protects the honor of womanhood, puts men to the test, inspires men!
It heralds death for slavery in all its forms...
What can be a greater revolution in human thought and deed [than the thought]
that the earth belongs NOT to kings but to Allah!"

GERMANY: "holocaust" denial trial
Report by Kaukab Siddique
GREATEST FRAUD of OUR TIMES: Germany ARRESTS and IMPRISONS
people for THOUGHT CRIMES: Talks "Democracy," loves Israel.
Ernst Zundel has been in a German prison for 8 months. His
trial opened on November 8. What's he being tried for?
"Holocaust Denial!" or as the German government
puts it primly, "disparaging the dead."
Germany has outdone even the U.S. government in its violations
of democracy. In a shocking development, the German judge
DISMISSED ZUNDEL's attorney, Horst Mahler, accusing the
attorney of having distributed "anti-semitic" literature.
Thus Zundel cannot have his own attorney. The judge wants him
to have an attorney who will AGREE WITH THE PROSECUTION. In
other words, Zundel can only have an attorney who believes
that Zundel is wrong. Go figure that out!
Germany is second only to the U.S. in support for Israel and in
provision of weaponry and funds to Israel.
The holocaust of the Jews is considered a myth by those segments
of the intelligentsia who have studied the research work which
has emerged in the last 25 years. It is ridiculous in this age
and time for a regime to put a scholar and a writer on trial
because he denies the ideology of the State.
Muslims should keep an eye on the Zundel trial. If he is not
honorably freed, Muslims should demand a trial of
Salman Rushdie, Irshad Manji, "Ibn Warraq," the obscene
woman named Hirsi Ali [being supported by Holland] and
others who have disparaged the Muslim dead,
including Prophet Muhammad, pbuh.

WAR NEWS: Report & Analysis by New Trend Media Monitor
IRAQ: HEAVY FIGHTING: U.S. LOSSES RISING
November 12: In spite of the destruction of FIVE Iraqi cities
by the U.S. in the last three months, mujahideen attacks on
U.S. troops are on the increase with the steady flow of
losses among elite American troops.
According to official U.S. figures 25 U.S. troops were killed
in Iraq during the last 7 days, November 4 to 11, bringing the
total to 2063 killed and more than 15,200 wounded. Each U.S.
trooper is the most heavily armed soldier in the entire
world and costs about $500,000 to produce.
In addition, on November 10, a martyrdom operator walked into
Al Qadouri restaurant on Abu Nawas street in Baghdad, a
favorite breakfast place for policemen hired by the U.S.-
installed regime, and blew it up. Thirty five people were
killed and dozens wounded. "The majority of the victims
in Baghdad were police." {Baltimore Sun, 11.11.05, page 13A]

Amman, Jordan: Analysis
Attacks in Jordan Could Signal Coming End of Abdullah.
Intelligence meeting was Interrupted by bombers:
Chief of Intelligence Among those Killed
U.S. TV channels have created considerable confusion in their
reporting on the attacks in Amman, Jordan on November 9. An
American viewer watching CNN or FOX TV would think that the
attackers wanted to hit a wedding party in one of the hotels.
CNN's Anderson brought in former Queen Noor of Jordan, a
fashionable woman, steeped in the make-up world of Paris
and Hollywood, who looks more like an actress than a queen,
who delivered a little lecture on Islam to the effect that
she and the Jordanian monarchy love Islam while the
"terrorists" hate Islam.
{Queen Noor did not explain that the three hotels, Hyatt,
Days Inn and Radisson, are American hotels and are seen
as dens of iniquity in Jordan which the Muslim majority
of the country stays away from.}
U.S. TV screens repeatedly showed "demonstrators" in Amman,
waving Jordanian flags, condemning the assailants and
telling Zarqawi to "burn in hell." It was a somewhat
futile exercise because the assailants could not hear
them as they had already sacrificed themselves in the attacks.
A close look at the "demonstrators" indicates that these
were Jordanian troops out of uniform as well as government
officials along with Christian and Muslim bedouins, all
funded by the government through the generosity of the
United States. Most Jordanians do not have those cute
little flags which seem to have been mass produced in a
hurry. The media refused to state: WHICH ORGANIZATION
BROUGHT OUT THE DEMONSTRATORS? What kind of security
check was carried out on them?
Our analysis shows that King Abdullah panicked when he
learned of the attacks. He sensed that his end might be
near. Hence, to claim "peoples' support," he pressed his
entire U.S.-funded machinery into these "street protests":
about 500-1000 people who carried on for two days.
The impact of the attacks can be judged from condemnation
issued by President Bush. He used terminology which he
uses only for condemnation of attacks on Israel.
{As usual there was a funny aspect to Bush's use of language.
He called the attackers "cowards." It's difficult, by any
definition of the word, to describe people who sacrifice
themselves to attack powerful foes as "cowards." If these
are cowards, how should one describe Israeli gunners who
use heavy artillery to hit unarmed Islamic activists
in occupied Palestine, or U.S. air force pilots who
drop 500 pound bombs on Iraqi cities where Iraqi
"insurgents" are "suspected" of hiding.}
The U.S. CALLED IN THE SECURITY COUNCIL of the U.N., and had
a condemnation issued unanimously by the 15 members "to bring
the perpetrators organizers, financiers and sponsors of these
intolerable acts to justice." Observers say, the Security
Council is nothing more than the handmaiden of the U.S.
Of the 61 people killed in the attacks, the U.S. TV did point
out that three of them were Americans [film producer
Miustapha Akkad, known for the millions he made from
his horror films on Holloween, and his 33 year old daughter].
Pakistani Urdu language media provided extra information:
One of those killed was an ISRAELI BUSINESSMAN. Another one
killed was Bashir Nafi, HEAD of the Palestinian INTELLIGENCE
SERVICES
[which is used to hunt down Palestinians opposed to Israel.]
Five of those killed were Iraqis.
[The hotels attacked are known as meeting places
for Iraqi collaborators working with the U.S.]
Others killed were probably intelligence officers,
including a Saudi, an Indonesian and 3 Chinese.
The most tragic was the suffering of the wedding party, belonging
to the Jordanian elite upper classes with relatives living in the
U.S. Some of them flew in from the U.S. and are known for their
close ties to the monarchy.
{The Islamic assailants chose the BAR [liquor section] of two of
the hotels in which to explode themselves. Liquor is strictly
forbidden in Islam but King Abdullah openly flaunts import
of liquor into Jordan.}
CONTEXT: WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT JORDAN's MONARCHY?
Jordan is politically one of the most backward countries in the
world. It is ruled by a HEREDITARY monarchy.
Jordan does not recognize ANY peaceful way of removing the monarch.
King Abdullah works closely with and is protected by the CIA and the
Israeli Mossad. His father, Hussain, was a CIA agent who was working
for the CIA to prepare support for Israel even at the time when the
secular Arab regimes were supposedly united against Israel.
Abdullah's grandfather too betrayed the Palestinians and was killed
by a Palestinian. Abdullah's father, Hussain, killed thousands of
Palestinians during the tragic days of Black September. The
repression was so drastic that some Palestinians suffered
the self-humiliation of taking refuge in Israel to save
themselves from Hussain.
Abdullah's father, Hussain, handed over Jerusalem to
the Israelis after putting up token "resistance." It
was treachery of the lowest kind.
The monarch came out openly to recognize Israel and went on
to become the DEFENDER of Israel's eastern frontier. The
Jordanian army is so alert in defense of Israel that only
half a dozen mujahideen have been able to cross into Israel
from Jordan in the last 15 years although the border is quite long.
KING ABDULLAH'S ROLE:
During of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, 80% of the Jordanian
people opposed the invasion but the King supported the invasion
and the U.S. diligently carried out its intelligence activities
in Iraq through Amman.
During 2004-2005, opposition to the U.S. in Jordan reached a
historic and unprecedented 99%, yet the King continued to give
his COMPLETE support to the U.S. and repeatedly visited the U.S.
to coordinate his activities.
[THERE GOES DEMOCRACY! Don't tell me next time that the U.S.
supports democracy.]
[The polls were taken by U.S. pollsters.]
Abdullah cracks down on the slightest domestic opposition with an
IRON FIST. Under Hussain his army went into action against
unarmed protestors in the southern city of Ma'an who had
blocked the roads. Abdullah himself led the charge in a TANK.
Hundreds of protestors were killed.
The regime practices arbitrary arrests and ROUTINE TORTURE of
suspects. The regime has executed dozens of Islamic opponents
after cursory "trials." Some of these victims were opponents
who had taken refuge in Syria. The Syrians handed them over
to Abdullah and they were "tried" and executed.
U.S. investigators indicate that some Islamic captives of the
U.S. are being held in "black hole" centers in Jordan and
have been subjected to brutal torture.
The King has the support of some elements of the so-called
Muslim Brotherhood, a group which reneged from its original
Islamic charter and started working with Saudi Arabia and
various corrupt regimes. In the U.S. itself, Abdullah has
the support of CAIR. Recently CAIR and Abdullah distributed
some propaganda about the fight against terrorism. Abdullah
and CAIR are jointly fighting "terrorism" under
the leadership of President Bush.
How widespread is the opposition to the King? Jordan arrested
120 people after the hotel attacks, a big number in a country
with a small population. Most were let go except 20.
What is the King's support base: A tiny Christian minority,
supportive of Israel, extremely well-to-do, supports the King
100%. In addition, he has troops recruited from feudal bedouin
tribes, barbaric and primitive in their opposition to authentic
Islam but very "religious" in a cultural way. These forces are
HEAVILY ARMED and funded by the United States. Finally there
are elements of the "Muslim Brotherhood" who infiltrate
Islamic groups and mosques and spy for the King.
WHAT's THE RECENT CONTEXT of AMMAN ATTACKS?
In Iraq next door to Jordan, elite forces of the U.S. have
wiped out the cities of Tal Afar, Qaim, Karabila, Haditha
and Husayba, as they had done earlier with Falluja. The U.S.
went house to house, treating each Iraqi home as a haven for
"terrorists." Mosques, schools, homes, were wiped out. This
was genocide. An estimated 1,000 civilians were reportedly
killed in these 5 towns [40 in one U.S. bombing alone] along
with 120 "insurgents." The populations were made homeless and
denied food and water until they submitted totally. Neither
JORDAN, nor the UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL
protested these atrocities.
Jordan is strongly suspected to have provided backing,
support and intelligence for these operations.
Many of the collaborators being trained to fight alongside
U.S. troops are trained in Jordan.
First reports indicate that the martyrdom operators who hit the
three hotels in Amman were IRAQIS [three men and a woman]
working under the orders of a Jordanian, Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi.
Thus the attacks were an overflow of the war in Iraq,
though the reports need furher investigation.
There were warnings that the hotels might be attacked during
the Intelligence meeting; hence, as the L.A. Times reported,
the Israeli component of the Intelligence group were evacuated.
The Jordanians, however, had no idea what shape the attack
would take. The coordination between Israel and King Abdullah
is very close. As the Jordanians describe it:
"Traitor, son of a traitor, grandson of a traitor."

AFGHANISTAN: [Sources: Nawa-e-waqt & The News Int'l]
Taliban strike in Heartland
Hikmatyar says Jihad will continue till U.S. is expelled
November 11. A Russian cargo plane was brought down near Kabul.
All ten air crew on board were killed. The Karzai clique claims
it was an accident, however other reports indicate that
mujahideen have brought in stinger type weapons from Central
Asian republics and handed them to Taliban.
[Russia & the U.S. work together.]
November 10: A Taliban cadre ambushed a police convoy on the
Uruzgan-Kandahar highway killing 7 policemen, capturing two
and destroying their vehicles.
{Losses confirmed by U.S. installed regime.}
Taliban's new spokesman, Qari Yusuf, called Pakistani media
to claim the victory. The previous spokesman, Latifi,
was captured by Pakistan.
A U.S. hired Afghan soldier opened fire on U.S. troops near
Gardez injuring two. Return fire killed him.
November 8. In Paktia, Afghans in Kabul regime uniforms stopped
a truck delivering supplies to U.S. troops, set the truck on
fire but let the driver go after beating him.
In Laghman, near Kabul, Taliban killed a district
police chief appointed by Kabul.
In Dihirwand district, U.S. forces attacked Taliban ambushers killing 4.
In an interview given in secret to an Afghan daily CHIRAGH,
mujahideen leader Gulbuddin Hikmayar said [November 8] that
there cannot be any peace in Afghanistan till U.S. occupation
forces and all those working under the aegis of the U.S. are
expelled. He declared "elections" held in Afghanistan under
U.S. auspices are "meaningless" and "irrelevant." He urged
all Afghans to fight the occupation unitedly.
PAKISTAN HAS STOPPED THE EXPORT OF PETROLEUM to Afghanistan owing
to conditions created by the earthquake.. As a result, related
generators are suffering and there has been no electricity in
Kabul for the last three days [Nov.7,8,9].
Petroleum will have to be imported at greater cost from
Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAKISTAN:
THREE MILLION QUAKE SURVIVORS FACE WINTER HORRORS
Pakistanis are engaged in hectic relief activities to reach
the survivors of the quake before winter sets in with all
its ravages in December.
Jamaate Islami is in the lead. Its social welfare group
Al-Khidmat sent off its 21st consignment of relief goods
from Karachi on November 9. The newly shipped canisters
are carrying flour, lentils, rice, sugar, cooking oil
[ghee], dry milk, water bottles.
Jamaate Islami's leader for Karachi, Dr. Mairajul Huda Siddiqui
praised the voluntary efforts of Jamaate Islami workers and
urged them to go all out to send tents, blankets, heavy
blankets and more rations before the winter severity sets in.
-----------------------------
KASHMIR: India Continues Suppressive Activity
November 8: Indian forces continued to attempt to suppress
the occupied people of Kashmir. In Baramula, Indian troops
brutalized a local imam for urging the people to resist.
The soldiers also seriously injured his mother and daughter.
In district Doda, Indian troops carried out house-to-house
searches for resistance youths. They opened bursts of fire
in some houses killing two young men. In Hujwairi village,
Indian troops opened fire to terrorize the people and
killed two more young Kashmiri Muslims. In Nogam,
Hizbul Mujahideen elements clashed with Indian troops.
Two Indian troops and two mujahideen were killed.
A "Muslim" police officer working for India
was abducted and killed.
--------------------------------
A Good Point From Hizbut Tahrir:
An Islamic movement which works for the return of the Caliphate,
has advised General Musharraf not to accept help for the
earthquake from Israel and India. Hizbut Tahrir's Pakistani
branch said that if India and Israel care for Muslims,
they should simply stop abusing, killing and injuring
Muslims in their own jurisdictions.
[General Musharraf declared Hizbut Tahrir an illegal
organization after the Hizb called for his overthrow.
Looks like the Hizb has survived.]

Letter
Thoughts on Quake. You think this is bad? Think about Hell!
I really liked the:
"Rosa Parks: Symbol of Peaceful Resistance to Segregation & Racism,"
article, especially the list at the end.
But it was spoilt by the:
"At this a woman got up and said: Bush should stop attacking
the Taliban for making Afghan women wear the burqa. We are
wearing it right here in Philadelphia."
Which to be quite honest, I was surprised at you! There is a
big difference between wearing something because you chose
to do it, and doing it out of compulsion! You ruined the
credibility of your article by putting in that (other person's) remark.
I haven't written to you much about the earthquake. I'm really
tired of people trying to score political points out of
everything. Don't you think that this is a time to reflect,
on what our Creator's perspective is?:
-
In the Quran, there is no comparison between sufferring in this
life and the hereafter.
You think this is bad? Think about hell!
-
This life is not the END. It is the means to the END.
Which is in the next life.
-
Allah does not dwell on the suffering of the believers in
this world. He dwells on the suffering of the unbelievers
in the next world - and their actions which led them to it.
For example persecuting the believers (momineen) - Sura Buruj
-
In surat ul kahf (18th surah) a Prophet Khidr kills a child.
Think about that. Isn't it shocking! Even my 5 year old,
unprompted saw the earthquake on TV and for the first time
in his life said "Allah IS cruel". But we forgive a 5 year
old. The child we are finally told would have grown up and
saddened his believing parents. And in any case Muslim
tradition assumes the immature child is going straight to
Paradise!. So you see children dying isn't a real loss,
from a spiritual point of view!
-
We have sahih traditions assuring us that people killed
in collapsed buildings are shaheed.
-
One of the shortest surahs (99) is called earthquake. Why
not READ and reflect as though it is now? Not some remote
Day of Judgement. A tip - it refers to mankind, NOT
believers and disbelievers. We call it natural disaster;
maybe we should call it the NATURAL MESSENGER.
-
Learn to hear the Natural Messenger, before it's just
too late for everybody!
-
The Angel of death is the friend we all have in common.
-
When you died, when they died, we all entered Judgement Day.
Oh, and by the way, Eid Mubarak?
Brotherly, Shoaib
