FIVE MILLION MARCH AGAINST U.S. WAR in
Rawalpindi, CONDEMN MUSHARREF
Unprecedented Mass Movement Shows Power of Islam:
Islamic Coalition Thrives
Dear readers: The March 9 OCEAN OF ISLAM
which emerged in Rawalpindi,
Pakistan was so powerful that it's difficult for
us to report it adequately.
NEVER HAS PAKISTAN SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. More
than FIVE MILLION PEOPLE
took part to condemn America's war plans against
IRAQ.
The marchers also condemned the American genocide in
Afghanistan
and hailed the resurgence of guerrilla warfare in
AFGHANISTAN which has put American
forces on the defensive.
A huge surge of support for
PALESTINE
and KASHMIR with condemnation of
the ZIONIST THUG ENTITY known as
Israel
plus the Hindu Brahmin killers in
Kashmir was expressed.
THE WOMEN OF PAKISTAN CAME OUT IN THEIR
MILLIONS, estimated at MORE THAN
TWO MILLION, in all kinds of hijabs, AT LEAST A
MILLION IN BURQAS, hundreds
of thousands in a great variety of hijabs from
headscarves to outer coverings
etc. etc.
The main speakers, as before, were from the
Islamic coalition, ranging
all the way from Jamaate Islami, to Deobandi JUI,
to Brailvi JUP, to hardcore
Taliban (Hanafi), to westernized intellectuals
returning to Islam. [Imran
Khan and Muslim leaguers, clean shaven, spoke
well against Musharref.] Small
groups of non-sectarian Shia were also
represented.
The chanting went up and down the sea of
people.
YA IRAQ, YA IRAQ: An Attack on Iraq is an
ATTACK ON THE ENTIRE WORLD
OF ISLAM.
DOWN WITH ZIONISM. DEATH TO ISRAEL. LONG LIVE
PALESTINE.
LIBERATE KASHMIR. REVENGE FOR THE RAPE
VICTIMS OF GUJARAT
[Although this was not a jihad movement
rally, there were segments of
the crowd calling for Jihad against Israel and
America. Tens of thousands
carried pictures of Mujahid Osama bin Laden, the
heartthrob of the Muslim
ummah.]
From one end of the sea of people to the
other went the war cry of
Islamic resistance:
ALLAHU AKBAR. ALLAHU AKBAR ALLAHU AKBAR ALLAHU
AKBAR
GENERAL MUSHARREF'S treacherous raids, in
tandem with FBI agents, on
Islamic physicians and on Islamic refugees in
Pakistan were condemned.
MUSHARREF'S placing of 70,000 troops on the
Afghan frontier to aid American
military operations was ridiculed and denounced.
Musharref's betrayal of
Kashmir was highlighted. MUSHARREF'S BETRAYAL of
Pakistan's constitutional
basis, by inserting his dictatorship into a
so-called Legal Frame Work Order
(LFO) was analyzed and condemned.
[New Trend's commentary: At this time we
are overwhelmed by the event.
This is the real Pakistan. This is what Mohammed
Ali Jinnah, Allama Iqbal,
Maulana Maudoodi dreamed of, this is what Ilm
Deen gave his life for when he
killed the Hindu who insulted the Prophet, pbuh.
THE GREEN BANNERS OF ISLAM
ARE RISING. Pakistan, we are proud of you. We
thought you had been corrupted
beyond repair. We thought Musharref's dirt had
made you so dirty that you
would never be clean again. O bearded leaders of
the Islamic movement, we are
proud of you. We honor your beards, a semblance
of the beard of the Prophet
(pbuh), a sign of the beards of the sahaba. O
burqa clad daughters and
mothers of Islam, we honor you and we are humbled
that Musharref could not
fool you.
Pakistan, inshallah, you will be the land
of the Pure.]
[On a more analytical note: AMERICA's AGENT
MUSHARREF is now isolated.
His treachery has been uncovered. He has not been
able to misguide and fool
Pakistanis although he tried his best. Like Judas
who sold Jesus (pbuh),
Musharref sold his Islamic people for a billion
dollars. Like Abdullah ibn
Ubayy, he tried all the tricks of munafiqat
(hypocrisy) to confuse and divide
Pakistanis. Today he stands naked, wearing only
the American flag. It is
quite possible that this agent might do serious
harm before he goes. He might
use the armed forces at his disposal, armed and
funded by the U.S., to attack
the Islamic movement, just as the Algerian junta
did with the help of France.
MILITARY FORCE is the only option left to
Agent Musharref. The masses
opposing him are peaceful and unarmed. They
certainly cannot face Musharref's
tanks. Fortunately for Pakistan, Islam has a
second line of defense. If
Musharref attacks the peaceful mass movement, the
Jihad movement, which did
not take part in the mass rallies, is waiting in
the wings to defeat any
ultimate act of treachery America's agent might
carry out.]

PROF. SAMI al-ARIAN'S ARREST DENOUNCED
(University of Milwaukee)
NATIONALISM IS MAKING U.S. MUSLIMS INEFFECTIVE:
(Islamic Center, Milwaukee)
PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN IS ESSENTIAL (DA'WA
CENTER, Milwaukee)
Dr. Kaukab Siddique
received welcome,
support and acclaim from the
Muslim communities of Milwaukee, Wisconsin during
a March 7-9, 2003 visit
there.
1. He gave the Juma'
khutba
to 300+ people at the
Islamic Center of Milwaukee.
2. Spoke at the University of Milwaukee on issues related to Post
9.11.
The program was sponsored by the Muslim Students
Association
(MSA),
Muslim Women's Organization,
Amnesty International
(local), Black Students, Latino
Students and a number of others. [Earlier a
Jewish
zionist student group
tried some provocations but did not succeed.]
3. Spoke at the Da'wa Center, mostly
African-American, in the inner city
Dr. Siddique's juma khutba was for half
hour, his speech was for ONE
HOUR followed by half an hour of Q & A, and his
discussion at the Da'wa
center was for one hour. The Main speech at the
university is available on
video and audio tapes.
Dr. Siddique denounced the arrest of Prof.
Sami Al-Arian as a Zionist
ploy. He added that by digging up an 8 year old
speech to arrest an TENURED
PROFESSOR, Attorney General Ashcroft has crossed
the line of civilization.
He warned Muslims of the censorship which
the major media are carrying
out as in the CASE OF IMAM WARITHUDDIN ‘UMAR
where the
Wall Street Journal
tried to destroy an authentic imam's life time
effort by frontpaging his
off-the-record remarks, twisting them out of
context.
He spoke about the case of
IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN,
Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman,
Ahmed Abdel Sattar and Lynne Stewart to explain
the downfall of justice in
America.
He spoke at length about Iraq and how to
understand and face the
situation.
-------------------------
At the ISLAMIC CENTER, Dr. Siddique pointed out
the failure of Muslim
leadership which is based on nationalism, so
much so that one group of them
were silent about the rape of Muslim women in
India
by drunken mobs of
Hindus, while the others wave the American flag
and cannot speak against the
GANGSTERS WHO CALL THEMSELVES ISRAEL.
He condemned those Muslims who try to give a
secondary place to women in
Islamic work.
---------------------------------------------
At the DA'WA CENTER, Dr. Siddique spoke on
the need for united Muslim
families where women play an EQUAL role in
Islamic work. There cannot be an
authentic Islam where women are left out, he
said. He discussed the solutions
to major problems facing Muslims in America.
[Special thanks for the Milwaukee program go to a
large list of people. May
Allah reward them all, in particular Br. Aamer
and the young people with him.]

IMAM W.D. MUHAMMAD's SUPPORTERS IGNORE A
PRE-REQUISITE of ISLAM
[This is in continuation of letters after the
editor of Muslim Journal, Sis.
Ayesha Mustafaa, abused Br. Kaukab Siddique and
called him ‘Abu Lahab.' The
problem began when Sis. Karen English wrote a
powerful poem in which she
questioned Imam W.D.'s silence in the face of
Bush's
atrocities against Muslims worldwide.
Muslim Journal is the voice of
Imam W.D. Muhammad. ]
[The following is from Sis. Nadrat, Baltimore.]
asalamu alaikum
Wallahai, it seems that some of W.D.'s supporters
have overlooked the
essential attributes of humility of a Muslim
leader, exemplified by the
rasool
(S.A.W.), and further elucidated by Hazrat Omar
(R.A). Can you imagine a
modern day badou (bedouin) getting into W.D.'s
space, by pulling him by the
collar of his Yves St. Laurent suit, fingering
his Christian Dior tie, and
asking him Ms. English's question in person?
Because the Badou would be
within his Islamic rights to do so. It is
characteristic of a dictator or a
tyrant to be above questioning--certainly not of
a Muslim leader.

FBI questions stun Muslim arrested at his home
By PHILLIP O'CONNOR
Post-Dispatch
[St' Louis, Missouri]
02/11/2003 12:00 AM
City man says his views are outside mainstream,
but adds he's no terrorist
Anti-war activities were a focus when Police
arrested an American-born
Muslim in
St. Louis early Sunday and took him to a police
station where FBI agents
questioned him about his anti-war activities and
whether he was planning
any attacks against the U.S. government.
Bret Darren Lee, whose Muslim name is Umar
ben-Ivan, said Monday that he
was stunned by the questions.
"I just looked at them," Lee said of his
interrogators. "I didn't think
they'd asked me anything worth responding to."
Lee, 28, said he is active in Muslim and
anti-war groups and acknowledged
that he holds views that may be considered
outside the political
mainstream. But Lee said he is far from a
terrorist.
"I am very much an American," said Lee, who
attended McCluer North High
School and converted to Islam 11 years ago. He
works at a Blockbuster
store. "To insinuate that just because I'm a
Muslim I'm a threat is an
insult to me, because I'm just as much an
American as they are," he said.
He blamed his arrest on religious profiling and
a shift in emphasis by the
FBI and local law enforcement toward
counter-terrorism.
"They have to do something to justify their
budgets," he said.
The FBI and police declined to comment on Lee's
arrest or interrogation.
Lee said he was sleeping in his apartment in the
4000 block of Hydraulic
Avenue about 5 a.m. Sunday when awakened by loud
knocking at his door. He
said he thought it might be a Muslim neighbor
waking him for prayers.
Instead, several police officers barged in with
weapons drawn, put Lee up
against a wall and asked whether he had any
weapons in the apartment, Lee
said. A National Rifle Association sticker is
affixed to the apartment's
front door.
"I told them that's my cheap version of an alarm
system. I don't have any
guns," Lee said he replied.
He was handcuffed and taken to a squad car.
Police spent about 45 minutes searching his
apartment and removed a box of
documents, including Lee's passport, fliers
related to Muslim community
events and anti-war protests and articles Lee
had written for Web-based
publications. The documents were later returned.
Police arrested Lee on a fugitive warrant out of
Lee's Summit, Mo. Lee
blamed the warrant on a bureaucratic mix-up. He
said he was unaware he
needed to report to Missouri probation officials
after being released from
federal prison following a 1999 bank fraud
conviction. He said he believed
police used the probation violation as a pretext
for his arrest and
interrogation.
"It's obvious," he said. "They never even asked
me about the probation
violation."
While Lee was still in custody, FBI agents
returned to Lee's apartment
about noon Sunday and spent a half-hour
questioning his wife about whether
he was a terrorist, his thoughts about the
Taliban, and whether he was
planning to take part in any more anti-war
protests.
At the station, FBI agents and a police
investigator spent about 30 minutes
asking similar questions of Lee. They also asked
him about the activities
of other local anti-war protesters, he said.
Lee posted $4,500 bail and was released late
Sunday night.
