John Ashcroft Wants To Prove that his System works: U.S. citizens are 
now 
fair game
[CNN and Baptist Preacher Insult Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): Husein Ibish 
flubs 
Again]
"O ye who believe! If a corrupt person comes to you with any news, 
ascertain 
the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full 
of 
repentance for what ye have done." (The Qur'an, 49:6)
[Latest NEWS: June 12. A U.S. MC-130 has gone down in the area of 
conflict on 
the Afghan-Pakistan border. The U.S. immediately stated that it was NOT 
shot 
down. Also, the U.S. said there were only 10 soldiers on board and of 
these, 
3 died. Why would such a big plane be used to ferry only 10 soldiers? 
Are the 
losses being hidden again? Why is there no more discussion of Operation 
Anaconda which killed 15 mujahideen?]
[A coronation plan for Karzai is being implemented in Kabul under the 
guns of 
European troops with the U.S. ambassador supervising the show. Even 
many of 
the loyalists were appalled and walked out. Looks like a repeat of the 
Soviet 
setting up of a "peoples'" government in Kabul backed by Soviet 
troops.]
[RUMSELD claims that al-Qaida are definitely in Kashmir. As we have 
predicted, at a certain stage, U.S. forces will be sent into Kashmir to 
bomb 
the Islamic resistance.]
The U.S. civil rights community is seething at the blatant new 
attack 
launched by Attorney General John Ashcroft. A Puerto Rican convert to 
Islam, 
Abdullah al-Muhajir is said to have been planning a "dirty bomb" attack 
on 
America. Ashcroft announced his arrest as a coup by the security 
agencies but 
the details now coming out indicate that Ashcroft has really put his 
foot in 
his mouth. Here are the main points of the government's case:
1. Al-Muhajir was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare airport on May 8. His 
arrest 
was announced on June 10.
2. TILL NOW (June 12) he has not been charged with anything.
3. He has been transferred to a "brig" (a navy hulk) in Charleston, 
South 
Carolina in the custody of the Defense Department.
4. He will NOT be tried in a civil court or even in a military court.
5. Although a U.S. citizen, he will be held indefinitely without trial. 
(Some 
"law" has been dug up from 1942.]
6. He was planning a "dirty bomb" attack on a U.S. city [some 
references here 
to Washington, DC].
7. BUT ACCORDING TO WOLFOWITZ, (what names they have, as Irving would 
say) 
one of Bush's Jewish associates, whatever plans he had were in the 
"loose 
talk" stage.
8. How was he nabbed? There are references to:
1. Information provided 
by Abu 
Zubaydah, now in custody for several months.
2. Pakistani (general Musharref) help.
9. The government admits that he HAD NOTHING IN HIS POSSESSION WHICH 
WOULD 
INCRIMINATE HIM as far as attack programs are concerned. He had 10,000 
dollars, but no one can be held without trial for having 2000 above the 
limit.
10. Media leaks indicate that ISRAEL was involved in the tracking of 
Al-Muhajir.
WHAT THE MEDIA DID:
As soon as Ashcroft broke the news, the Zionist media, from CNN to 
MSNBC to 
the evening networks to FOX NEWS went on the rampage against 
Al-Muhajir. With 
minimum focus on the lack of evidence, the media poured out an endless 
series 
of reports on "WHAT IS A DIRTY BOMB?" and what it would do if exploded.
The media also tried and convicted Al-Muhajir for having been a small 
time 
criminal in his youth. It forgot to mention that when one embraces 
Islam, all 
past sins are erased, so much so that a Muslim woman from overseas was 
willing to marry him. At least the landlady of his apartment came out 
strongly and said that she had seen nothing but good in him.
As a citizen of this country, Al-Muhajir (Jose Padillo) has been 
defamed 
beyond limit in three days and all his rights have been violated.
IS JOHN ASHCROFT AN HONORABLE MAN?
During war time, every government tries NOT TO PUBLICIZE the 
ENEMY'S 
moves and intentions. If there is danger to national security, agencies 
involved in security should quietly do their jobs to ensure security. 
By 
contrast, it is the task of agents provocateurs to spread rumors and 
create 
public fear and uncertainty. Here we find the exact opposite happening. 
Repeatedly the government issues vague, generalized and dangerous 
sounding 
warnings.
We have had the following sequence of events:
1. After considerable outcry from the public and politicians, the FBI 
was 
brought under scrutiny and FBI Director Mueller was grilled in a public 
hearing. The ineptitude of the government was  apparent.
2. President Bush suddenly announced a dramatic re-fashioning of 
Homeland 
Security. The issue of the FBI-CIA failure went into the background.
3. With drama, Ashcroft announced the arrest of "Al-Mujahir" (he 
couldn't 
pronounce his victim's name). It had happened ONE MONTH earlier. 
Obviously 
the timing was meant to deflect the blast of criticism which has 
worried the 
government. Much thought must have gone into the timing of the  dramatic 
announcement.
If a U.S. citizen can be held indefinitely without trial, 
evidently the 
rule of law is going down the drain.

ARE HOOPER/AWAD of CAIR and IBISH of ADC QUALIFIED TO DEFEND ISLAM?
A couple days back, CAIR announced that a Baptist preacher has 
insulted the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in connection with the Prophet's 
marriage to hazrat ‘Ayesha (r.a.). There are many non-descript 
preachers who 
say insulting and stupid things about Islam. It's a free country. You 
can say 
anything. Most people here are Christians, but Jesus (pbuh) gets 
insulted in 
the Zionist media regularly.
The first mistake CAIR made was to bring up a preacher's insulting 
remarks without dealing with them. CAIR has no one who can be called a 
scholar. None of its Directors have published books, nor are they 
learned 
about Islam in any way.
Then we see CNN quoting the stupid preacher's insulting remarks 
and 
quoting out of context from the Qur'an and then asking HUSEIN IBISH, 
the 
idiot from ADC, to defend Islam. (Ref: CNN's Crossfire program on June 
12). 
Husein Ibish, as usual, was totally inept. He had nothing scholarly to 
say 
because he is not a scholar. His "defense" was that "I can" similarly 
pick 
passages from the Bible and Talmud and there are bad guys in every 
religion.
Thus the viewer was left with the impression that the Baptist 
preacher 
must have spoken some truths about Islam. A close friend of Israel, 
Jerry 
Falwell, was on the show and he kept goading Ibish to admit that the 
Prophet 
(pbuh) was a .... and Ibish laughed along with one of the hosts to 
point out 
that Falwell had said that the 9/11 attacks were punishment from God. 
The 
abuse of Islam was thus trivialized.
Thus a countrywide and worldwide audience has seen the Qur'an and 
the 
life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) subjected to abuse and calumny on CNN 
with 
totally ineffectual and trivial defense put up by Husein Ibish. [As we 
pointed out before, Ibish admitted on another show, that he is NOT a 
practicing Muslim.]
We urge CAIR to cease and desist from its activities which are 
bringing 
serious disrepute and out-and-out abuse/calumny to Islam. If a stupid 
preacher said something incorrect, write to him and let interested 
readers 
see the answer. It's not a national issue nor is Islam in ANY DANGER OF 
BEING 
DIMINISHED BY THE REMARKS OF ONE PREACHER to his congregation or in his 
church.
[In Islam, symbolic childhood marriages are permitted, very rarely, if 
the 
right of the girl to repudiate the marriage when she grows up is 
safeguarded. 
This permission occurs sometimes under stress of persecution of 
Muslims, 
sometimes to help carry the tradition to the next generation. Sex is 
not 
permitted till the girl grows up and makes an independent decision to 
accept 
the marriage. Even in the case of the Prophet (pbuh), ‘Ayesha (r.a) had 
to 
grow up and accept her marriage before she became a wife in the real 
sense. 
Even then sex was not a factor. She never bore any children though she 
and 
the Prophet (pbuh) were healthy. She did become the GREATEST teacher 
and 
leader of Islam in the era after the Prophet (pbuh) passed away. See 
ISLAM 
and REVOLUTION: BASIC ISSUES FACING THE MUSLIM WORLD by Kaukab 
Siddique.]

Americans should be the last persons to be high and mighty about 
morality 
and child molestation. One of the founders of this great nation, one of 
the 
most admired persons in this country, actually had sex with an underage 
slave 
girl and repeatedly impregnated her. Her descendants are only now 
beginning 
to gain recognition as the blood relatives (out of wedlock) of the 
great 
leader of America, the most liberal of them all.
