SADDAM HUSSAIN AS SEEN BY AN 
AMERICAN
I would appreciate if you would remove my name 
from your mailing list. I am 
disheartened that you should pin your hopes of an 
Iraqi 
resistance on men 
like Saddam Hussein, the architect of a murderous 
regime, who has brought 
untold suffering, setbacks and ignonominy on the 
Iraqis and Arabs. I did 
not, and would not, support the American 
invasion; but I would not mourn 
his likes, now that he is gone. We Muslims must 
come with better hopes, 
better leaders, and better historical 
understanding than you offer in your 
newsletter.

IRAN's KHATAMI
The US is so determined to wage continuous war 
that it would even go up 
against compatriot Iran in my humble opinion. The 
American people are so 
brainwashed that they would not realize that 
Khatami is the man who the 
CIA 
supports now, and they won't listen to you or me 
so they learn the truth.
I am struggling so hard to gather together as 
many of the world's people so 
my 
boycott 
will end war because we can't allow 
war to occur any longer. The 
American people can't afford to fund war anymore 
(never could but that is 
water under the bridge now) so we have to prevent 
any more of them.
With regard to 
Imam Jamil Al-Amin, 
is his wife 
aware of my demand to free 
him? She's not in my Address Book, so I can't 
tell her.
Peace,

HADITH 
ACCEPTS VICTIMIZED WOMAN'S WORD in RAPE 
CASES
Brother, I hope you are well. Can you cite this 
hadith on rape and 
show me where to find it. Interesting that one 
hears all kinds of sexist 
hadiths but never this one.

ISNA's 
DIRECTOR SAYEED and the FBI Working 
together in Indiana
Just an update regarding ISNA . Are you aware of 
the astounding amount of 
arrests and deportations that have been occurring 
there from the Muslim community 
in the past few months?  I noticed that it got NO 
press at all.  Mr ( I don't 
dare say brother) Sayeed, actually asked several 
times in his khutba for the 
attendees at the masjid to turn each other in.  
In other khutbas he praised 
the 
US troops 
and also said that every Muslim 
should be grateful to the 
Christians, because it is ONLY due to them, that 
we are being 'uplifted'.  This is 
pure kufr - not to mention shirk.
I know you are aware of the type of person he is 
- however, I was not sure if 
you were aware of just how blatant about it he 
has become.  He even grabbed 
[....] aside one day and tried to gather 
information about me from him and to 
convince him that he should spy on me and report 
the information to him.  Can 
you believe that!!!!!!!! 
At almost every protest [in Indiana] we heard 
over and over people  talking 
negatively about ISNA (non-Muslims) saying that 
they are a bunch of apologists 
without legs to stand on and that they were 
wondering why they [non-Muslims] 
were demonstrating standing up for Muslim rights 
when ISNA was not even showing 
up and was kissing up to the ruling regime.  Due 
to this, you could not 
believe the amount of people who came up to my 
family during these protests and 
wholeheartedly thanked us for being there and 
said that we were probably the only 
true Muslims in Indiana who were not afraid to 
stand up for the truth.  
Pretty sad, isn't it?
