DROP 
BUSH, 
NOT BOMBS!
Millions of people surged across the globe (on 
February 15) to condemn Bush 
and Blair's planned blitzkrieg against 
Iraq. 
The rally in London was 
unprecedented in British history with crowds 
estimated between one million 
and two million. Protests in Paris, Berlin, Rome 
and Madrid were also HUGE by 
any standards. [The massive demonstration in 
Madrid is very important because 
the President of Spain has been going against the 
peoples' will by falling 
into a bootlicking posture in front of UK's 
Blair.]
The tone was set by a vast rally in Baghdad 
which condemned 
U.S. 
policies and 
Israel 
and acclaimed President 
Saddam Hussain. The idea that 
Saddam does not have popular support is dead. The 
sea of people included 
Kurds and Shias. There were thousands of militant 
Islamic women in full hijab.
[A 
Jewish 
reporter on Baltimore's Jewish 
radio station, ypr branch of 
npr, 
pointed out two days back, that he has just 
returned from Baghdad. He 
said, the real danger he saw was that the biggest 
mosque in Baghdad was 
packed "to the gills." When he had visited it 
four years back, it was almost 
empty.]
In the U.S., anti-war rallies were held in 
numerous cities. [Reports are 
still coming in.] The biggest was a huge 100,000+ 
rally in New York in frigid 
temperatures. The police refused to let the rally 
march from its starting 
point. Scuffles broke out with 50 arrests.
-------------------------------------------------
BIGGEST RALLY in the HISTORY of RALEIGH, North 
Carolina. More than 8,000 
people participated in the rally in Raleigh. 
Among the speakers, there was 
only one Muslim, IMAM BADI ALI from Greensboro. 
[Our congratulations to Br. 
Badi. He is setting a good standard for Muslim 
leadership.] [Most Muslims, 
lacking coherent leadership, with most of their 
leaders in cahoots with Bush, 
are hiding in their mosques.]

Producer MSNBC
question@msnbc.com
Subject: Steve Emerson presented as "expert" on 
terrorism on your February 
15, 2003 program
Dear Producer
Steve Emerson has a track record of anti-Muslim 
and anti-Islam propaganda. 
Your attempt to present him as an expert on 
terrorism was certainly not in 
the traditions of fine journalism. Emerson made a 
whole lot of claims on your 
Feb. 15 program which can at best be described as 
rumors and fearmongering. 
The claims he made raise serious questions about 
the standards of reporting 
acceptable to MSNBC. Emerson claimed that:
1. There are 600 to 800 possible sympathizers of 
Al-Qaida in the U.S.
2. Surveillance of the sympathizers is being 
carried out.
3. Jose Padilla was "trying to acquire a dirty 
bomb."
Emerson also brought up his old story that 
fundamentalists had set up 
their bases in America after the 
Afghan 
jihad.
MSNBC needs to use its common sense to ask:
1. How does Emerson know all this? Is he an agent 
of the FBI or does the FBI 
feed him information? If he is, your audience 
should be so informed. If he is 
not, how could he possibly have this information?
2. Is it not true that Emerson is a long time 
Zionist 
Jew, a staunch 
supporter of Israel? MSNBC should inform its 
audience of this fact. My 
magazine New Trend follows journalistic ethics by 
informing its audience of 
the ideological slant of its writers. MSNBC falls 
below accepted standards by 
not caring to mention the bias of its "experts."
3. EMERSON LOST HIS CREDIBILITY SEVERAL YEARS AGO 
when he tried to convince 
the White House and the FBI that pro-government 
Muslim groups such as 
CAIR 
and 
AMC 
were linked to 
Palestinian 
Islamists such 
as Hamas. The White House 
did not buy Emerson's story and continued to 
honor and support both CAIR and 
AMC with invitations to the White House. Only one 
other Muslim group, that 
led by Imam W.D. Muhammad, has more credibility 
with the White House/FBI than 
CAIR and AMC have.
I suggest that you look up Emerson's 
discredited attacks on these Muslim 
groups before bringing him on again as an 
"expert" on terrorism.
Sincerely
Kaukab Siddique, Ph.D.

BEST NEWS OF THE DAY: On February 15, 2003 
Islamic fighters blew up an 
Israeli tank with an explosive device in the Beit 
Lehia area of the Gaza 
strip. At least four Isreali Jewish soldiers in 
the tank were killed. The 
Islamic group Hamas has taken responsibility. 
Israelis are amazed at the 
heroic audacity of the mujahideen who managed to 
reach the heavily armed 
tank, placed a crude explosive device under it 
and escaped unharmed. [Allahu 
Akbar wa lillahil hamd.]
Our observers say that attacks on occupiers 
are legitimate and 
recognized as the right of the oppressed by both 
international law and 
Islamic law.
