Revolution Muslim Conference: Convicted Terrorist to Speak on Conquest of Washington, D.C.

Revolution Muslim Conference: Convicted Terrorist ...: " (UPDATED - Zach w/ Younes Pic)

Logans Warning has all the details about Revolution Muslim's online conference this weekend. But let me just point out one thing:

Omar Bakri Mohammad will be speaking. In addition to being banned from ever returning to Britain from his exile in Lebanon, Bakri Mohammad has been tried and found guilty by that country of helping train al Qaeda. Yes, really.
If the Lebanese had any balls they'd find Bakri Mohammad and hang him. But they don't and they won't.
Also, Younes Abdullah Mohammad will be speaking on the same electronic platform as Bakri Mohammad. The last time I checked, Younes was in New York.

An American promoting and helping with a conference featuring a convicted terrorist. What's wrong with this picture?

Also, I've started a Jesse Morton Younes Abdullah archive given that Joey claims he's out of the jihad business, Sammy is about to become Predator fodder, and Zach is in jail.

UPDATE: Here's a screenshot of Jesse "Younes Abdullah Mohammad" Morton in front of the White House with his friend Zachary "ZZ Top" Chesser. That's him on the left.
Make sure to read the sign and try not to laugh.

In addition to being bosom buddies with Zach Chesser, now awaiting trial for providing material support to terrorists, I'll remind you that Jesse also wrote an article for Samir Khan's first attempt at a magazine promoting terrorism. One wonders if Samir called on his old buddy to help him his official al Qaeda version of it?
Is it just me, or does Jesse like to hang out with terrorists?
UPDATE: Oh, I almost forgot about this. ADL:
Abdullah Muhammad has appeared in several RM and Islamic Thinkers Society (ITS) events with Mohamed Mahmood Alessa and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, two New Jersey men who have been arrested on terror-related charges. In RM's video of the its protest at the 2010 Israel Day Parade in New York, Alessa is seen standing next to Abdullah Muhammad while he reads RM's condemnation of Israel. In another instance, on December 28, 2008, Abdullah Muhammad and Almonte appeared together at an ITS protest outside the Israeli consulate in New York. Standing next to Abdullah Muhammad, Almonte held a sign that read "Death to all (zionist) juice."

Islamists spread terror message

Islamists spread terror message: "AN Islamist website based in Australia is co-hosting an international forum this weekend.

It is described by a London research centre as an "online conference of global terrorists".
The forum, to be streamed live on the Australian-registered website Authentic Tawheed, will feature a line-up of speakers known for their militant teachings and links with al-Qa'ida and other terrorist groups.

They include British-based cleric Abdullah el-Faisal, who was previously a translator for British al-Qa'ida leader Abu Qatada, and who was deported from Britain in 2007 after being convicted of inciting racial hatred and urging his followers to kill non-Muslims.

The forum will "examine the current war against Islam and Muslims, and ask for how much longer can the kuffar (non-believers) fight against the deen (religion) of Islam, and the necessary steps needed for victory". A starting time of midnight tonight in Sydney is advertised.

The keynote speech, titled Conquest of Washington, will be delivered by militant sheik Omar Bakri Mohammad, who British authorities accuse of mentoring several men convicted of terrorism-related offences. He fled Britain for Lebanon after the London 7/7 bombings and is barred from returning.

The London think tank the Centre for Social Cohesion says authorities in Australia and elsewhere should move to prevent such events.

"Convicted terrorists and Islamist hate preachers are regularly using internet chat forums and websites registered to the US and Australia to circumvent anti-terrorism measures," says the centre's director, Douglas Murray.

"Anti-terrorism measures are used to convict hate preachers and stop incitement to terrorism by proscribing organisations, as well as barring individuals from entering the UK. However, these same hate preachers can use websites registered outside the UK with impunity.

"Chatrooms are increasingly being used . . . to disseminate a violent Islamist ideology from virtually any country. Governments worldwide need to develop policies to combat this threat."

The Authentic Tawheed (tawheed is an Islamic concept referring to the oneness of God) site was registered last month through an internet service provider in Brisbane. It has links to downloadable books and sermons by a range of militant clerics, including the US-born, Yemen-based Anwar al-Awlaki, who is accused by the US government of inspiring the Fort Hood military base shooting in Texas last November and the botched Christmas Day airline bombing in Detroit a month later.

It also has a link to a US-registered site, RevolutionMuslim.com, which contains a page endorsing suicide attacks.
The former head of international counter-terrorism for the British police Special Branch, Nick O'Brien, who now heads terrorism studies at Charles Sturt University, says Australian authorities should monitor the forum.

"There is a balance between the right of freedom of speech and encouraging people to commit acts of terrorism or violence," he said.

Islamist Irishman comes home, with a plan

Islamist Irishman comes home, with a plan


Irishman Khalid Kelly – who dreams of seeing the ‘black flag of Islam’ over the Dáil – has returned from Pakistan to set up a group called Islam for Ireland, writes MARY FITZGERALD Foreign Affairs Correspondent
IT IS seven years since Khalid Kelly, Liberties altar boy turned Muslim convert turned radical blowhard, prompted heckling and jeers from a Late Late Show audience. Back then Kelly, dressed in black and grey robes and accompanied by a fellow member of British-based organisation al-Muhajiroun, defended the 9/11 attacks and claimed one day the world would be ruled by sharia law.

Kelly became something of a poster boy for al-Muhajiroun and its founder, the controversial Syrian-born cleric Omar Bakri, and his association with the movement continued throughout the several reincarnations that followed its disbanding in 2004.

Bakri and his followers developed a schtick that blended jihadist rhetoric with virulent anti-Semitism and homophobia. They revelled in the notoriety and acres of press coverage generated by their inflammatory pronouncements.

Kelly regularly featured in breathless tabloid reports. He popped up on CNN to argue that the 2005 London transport bombings were justified because of Tony Blair’s foreign policy.

Then suddenly the man some media outlets referred to as “the famous Irish Muslim convert” dropped off the radar. Rumours he had pitched up in Pakistan proved correct when a reporter for a British newspaper interviewed him there last November. Under the headline “Irishman wants to kill for Islam”, Kelly boasted of undergoing weapons training in Pakistan’s tribal badlands.

“I’m already on the path to jihad,” he said. “Next week, inshallah, I could be in Afghanistan fighting a British soldier.” But Kelly’s dreams of jihad turned sour and he never made it to Afghanistan.
The possible reasons for this were hinted at in an interview he gave to the Arab newspaper Asharq Al Awsat some years ago. Kelly said many people in the Pakistani frontier town of Peshawar had warned him that, because of the colour of his skin and appearance, the Taliban might kidnap him for ransom or kill him if they suspected him of being an American spy.

In Dublin last week, Kelly explained he believed intelligence agencies were tailing him in Pakistan and he began to fear for his safety. “I went there to join people who were likeminded and help establish an Islamic state,” he says. “But as a white convert, I stuck out like a sore thumb.” Instead, he returned to Ireland in April and has been here since. In some ways, he seems different to the man who stirred such outrage on RTÉ in 2003.
His beard is now threaded with grey and his face is turning jowly. He also seems far less cocky.
Kelly is coy about what exactly prompted his hasty departure from Pakistan and what happened between that point and his arrival in Dublin – he mutters about his passport being “lost or stolen” in eastern Europe and mentions being deported somewhere along the way.

Soon after returning to Ireland, Kelly was ruffling feathers within the Muslim community here. Even though he now prefers to be known as Abu Osama (Arabic for “father of Osama”, a reference to the son he named after Osama bin Laden), people remembered him – Kelly and his al-Muhajiroun cohorts previously tried and failed to gain a foothold here.

Kelly was one of the most vocal speakers at a small demonstration outside the Belgian embassy in May. He told those gathered to protest against Belgium’s proposed ban on full-face veils that Europe was oppressing Muslims, and that he dreamt of seeing “the black flag of Islam” over Dáil Éireann. He also railed against the use of Shannon airport by US troops, and criticised the participation of seven Irish army personnel in the UN-mandated Nato-led mission in Afghanistan.

He made similar statements in an interview with Metro Éireann newspaper earlier this month, adding that Ireland is a “target for attacks” because of its involvement in Afghanistan. The resulting front-page article, headlined “We must listen to bin Laden” prompted complaints from Muslims living here.
Many consider Kelly an attention-seeking nuisance. He says he was recently told to move on while talking to a group of men at one of Dublin’s bigger mosques. He dismisses those who say he and his message are not welcome in Ireland as people “whose Islam is in doubt”.

Kelly complains he has been visited on several occasions by the security services since his return. He says he is seeking legal advice following one such encounter at his Dublin home last week, which he alleges resulted in a physical confrontation.

“They want me to stop speaking out, but I won’t,” he says. “It doesn’t matter if I’m in Pakistan, Lebanon, England or Ireland, there is an obligation to speak wherever you are. I’m not talking about fighting here in Ireland, but I am encouraging Muslims to fulfil their duties.”

The story of how Kelly, a former nurse, converted to Islam while serving a jail sentence for illicitly distilling and selling alcohol in Saudi Arabia, is told in Holy Wars , a new documentary currently showing in film festivals in the US. Five years in the making, it charts the personal journeys of both Kelly and Aaron Taylor, a Christian missionary from the US who tries to proselytise in Muslim-majority countries. Film-maker Stephen Marshall followed Kelly to Pakistan. Promotional shots show Kelly inspecting the wares at a gun market in the Northwest Frontier Province.

In a recent interview with a US newspaper, Marshall summed up many of the contradictions of the man once known as Terry Kelly.

“Khalid to me was this amazing enigma and paradox. He was this white Irish guy who was a Muslim and he was one of the most articulate spokesmen for his cause. And he loved the camera,” Marshall said. “I definitely feel that Khalid had this nihilism about him. Even though Khalid’s not really a threat, he’d like to think of himself as one. All his talk is focused on this battle that would only lead to his own destruction . . . But also, I think that Khalid loves life too much. He’s not the suicidal prototype. I think he can find happiness. I think that Khalid wants to be happy.”

So what next for Khalid Kelly? He claims he came back to Ireland only to get a new passport before deciding where to resettle with his family – his sons Osama and Mohammed live in Britain with their mother, a Pakistani woman whom Kelly met through associates of Omar Bakri.

However, he told Metro Éireann , he plans to establish a group here with the title “Islam for Ireland”. The name echoes that of Islam4UK, al-Muhajiroun’s most recent reinvention until it was banned in Britain in January on grounds of national security.

Kelly says he remains in regular contact with his mentor Bakri, who fled to Lebanon following the London bombings. When I interviewed Bakri in the Lebanese town of Tripoli three years ago, he praised Kelly but said he had no interest in setting up an organisation in Ireland.

“It is not a relevant arena for me because I don’t have people there,” Bakri said. “Ireland is definitely not on our map.”

Korean Kontroversy: South's ship 'sunk by mine', not torpedo?

An advice from Ahl us Sunnah to our brothers/sisters in Hizb ut-Tahrir regarding `Aqeedah















بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

To my brothers and sisters in Hizb ut-Tahrir; as salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.

O my brothers, you are renowned for your intention in endeavouring to fulfil the obligation of re-establishing the khilaafah. A duty which has been obligatory upon Muslims since its abolishment in 1924. This is indeed a noble cause, and you are a hizb that was established to strive in it. However, albeit the case; this letter is an advice to you in order that you may reflect upon the errors of your `Aqeedah regarding the issue of excluding Al-Hadeeth As-Saheeh Al-Ahad (The Authentic Single Report) from it.

In the time of the ghurabaa (strangers) and fasaad (corruption) of the Deen, people are far way from the wahi (revelation). People will follow the majority and leave the Qur'aan and Sunnah, few will hold strong to the Deen.

The Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said,

‏ بَدَأَ الإِسْلاَمُ غَرِيبًا وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ ‏‏
Islaam started as something strange and will return back as something strange, paradise is for the strangers.

The Ghurabaa (strangers) are those who reject to be from amongst the deviants. Tooba is a tree in paradise thats width is like the heavens and the earth. That tree is for the believers.

The Evidence for Hadeeth Ahad

Whether the hadeeth is mutawaatir (famous) or ahad (single report), as long as it is attributed to the Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and is linked in narration from the beginning to the end until it is carried and delivered, it will be taken as an evidence in the Deen of Al-Islaam.

At-Talaazum (Moulding)

We cannot understand this topic unless we understand At-Talaazum (Moulding). This is where two things cannot be separated. Like Ramadaan and siyaam. Like Eemaan is sayings and actions with conviction in the heart, Qawol wal `Amal wal I’tiqaad. Like `Aqeedah (belief) and Shari’ah (Islamic law) are inseparable. It’s like you cannot be Muslim unless say Laa ilaaha illa Allaah Muhammadan Rasoolullaah. To separate these issues is to dismantle the whole matter.

Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) has names, attributes and functions which cannot be separated. The two pillars of Tawheed, you cannot separate them. There is moulding between the term and its meaning, originally we always take the literal apparent meaning, and we do not go to the metaphoric meaning unless there is evidence. You cannot separate the Qur'aan and the Sunnah; there is Talaazum between both of them. You cannot separate the Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) from the Sahaabah. We say As Sahaabu Nabee wa Nabee was Sahaab (the companion of the Prophet, the Prophet and his companion). There is Moulding between ajal (life) and mawt (death); it is all in the hand of Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala).

Talaazum bayna hubbu fillaah wal bughdufillaah (between love for the sake of Allaah and hate for the sake of Allaah), we cannot say love for the sake of Allaah and then hate the believers. Talaazum from Khawf (fear) and Raja (hope), whoever fears Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) will have Taqwa (piety). Talaazum bayna Qawol Wa Qawol (saying and saying) of the Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam). We take the saying of the Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) regardless of the number of narrators as long as it is authentically reported. If you separate saying from actions then you are separate Tawheed Ruboobiyyah (related to command to do) and Tawheed Uloohiyyah (related to doing actions in obedience to Allaah).

Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) says,

وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا
Whatsoever the messenger gives, take it, and whatsoever he prohibits, abstain from it
[Surah Al Hashr 59:7]

People make this separation to say certain evidences are taken into `Aqeedah (belief) and other evidences are not. This is because they speak from their own ration (hawaa). Hawaa is the number one enemy of Wahi.

Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) says,

وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى - إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَى
He (Muhammad) does not speak from his hawaa, it is Wahi revealed
[Surah An Najm 53:3-4]

The Prophet (Nabee) is the one who Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) sends the Wahi (revelation). The Messenger (rasool) is the one who passes on the message (risaalah) to the people.

Many people say they love the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), yet they do not follow hadeeth Ahad. Either you take from the Prophet of this Deen or you don’t. Classify the topic for the sake of clarification by all means but don't separate their importance. So for example when we classify Eemaan we do not separate it, we say the outer action and the inner action are both part of Eemaan.

`Ilm ul hadeeth (the science of narration) is studied by two types of scholars; Ahlul hadeeth and Ahlul Kalaam.

When they wrote `Ilm ul hadeeth it was in order to classify and not to separate. Either say Qala Rasoolullaah... the Prophet said or lum ya qula... the Prophet never said. We don't say one Prophet for `Aqeedah and one for Shari'ah. We say the Prophet for one Deen.

Any Saheeh Hadeeth checked by the Salaf us Saalih and then by the Muta Aakhireen (later generation), we take it for all Masaail (ruling) of the Deen. We say there is no separation between Mutawaatir and Ahad hadeeth. We accept the hadeeth as long as it is Nabawih As-Saheeh and if the Muta Aakhireen and the `Ulamaa of the Salaf if in their own time attributed the hadeeth to the Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam). If the Salaf say Qala Rasoolullah... we take it into all matter of the Deen, as they never separate the `Aqeedah from the Shari'ah. The later `Ulamaa (scholars) always agreed those who came before them in this regard.

If the most knowledgeable of `Ulamaa agree that the hadeeth is Saheeh, then it is used for all aspects of the Deen. So when we classified the Tawheed we said Laa ilaaha illa Allaah There is none worthy of Worship but Allaah Muhammadan Rasoolullaah Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, this separation is classification.

If the Muta Aakhireen (later generation) disagrees on an issue, then we go to the Muta Kaddibeen (earlier generation). If Muta Kaddibeen agree it is Saheeh (authentic), then who are we to have doubt. The doubt comes from the Shaytaan. We don’t say we have the Qur'aan and Sunnah but we have bid’ah (innovation). Be Ahlul Ittibaa’ (people who follow).

The Salaf are the first three generation praised by the Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam). If the Salaf agree the hadeeth is Saheeh then we take it in all matters of the Deen.

Al-Khabar As-Saheeh Al-Ahad

This is the report that has been attributed to the Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) by muntasib (connected) Isnad (chain).

The Deen is Talaazum between the belief and the action. Action testifies to a person’s belief.
The people who say we do not take it in `Aqeedah but accept it in Shari'ah i.e. Hukm Shari’, are deviant, that’s the difference between al-Firqat un-Naajiyyah (the saved sect) and Firqatu Haaliyyah (deviant sect).

Questions That Arise

Some people say if the Ahad has doubt then why not follow the Mutawaatir and the Qur'aan?
What about the one who rejects the Khabar Ahad in Bukhari and Muslim?
What is the Hukm for the one who says we need decisive evidence?

The Jumhoor (majority) of the Salaf us Saalih were all Ahlul hadeeth. The Fuqahaa’ (scholars knowledgeable in Islamic ruling) of the Salaf and the four Imaams all agree the Saheeh Ahad hadeeth is accepted in all aspects of the Deen (`Aqeedah and Shari’ah) the ones who differ are the deviants, which are those who came after the first three generation.

Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) says,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَأٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا
O believers, if a faasiq (evil person) comes to you with news, verify it
[Surah Al Hujuraat 49:6]

Once it is verified Saheeh (authentic) we take it into the deen. The Shi’a Raafidah are Taa’ifa tu Kufr (group upon disbelief) we take nothing from them in our deen.

The conditions of the person narrating a hadeeth are that he must be; Muslim, mature, trustworthy and sane, also have a good memory and to keep the words of the hadeeth verbatim.

Further evidence for Ahad (lone) narration

The Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) received Wahi and he was Ahad, like all the Anbiyaa. Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) sent an individual messenger.

Evidence 1
Mu’aadh ibn Jabl went to Yemen to teach Islaam. The Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said The First thing you call them to is Laa ilaaha illa Allaah

Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah quote Sahaabah, Tabi’een and Taba-Tabi’een.

Evidence 2
Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) ordered the Messenger Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) make tableegh (convey). The tableegh was of the deen so we cannot separate belief and actions. The Salaf us Saalih transmitted the deen and not just the text from it, by practicing. That’s why no Sahaabah, Tabi’een or Taba-Tabi’een disagreed in the Azaab ul Qabar (punishment of the grave).

In the issue of al-Asmaa wa Sifaat of Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala), the four Imaams follow the hadeeth and the aayah and did not say we take Qur'aan first and Sunnah second rather followed both together and this should be our understanding too.

Examples of beliefs based on Ahad Ahadeeth

1) The statement that Aadam (`alayhis salaam) is a Prophet, as well as others besides him who are not mentioned in the Qur'aan.

2) The fact that our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) is favoured by Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) above all the other Prophets and Messengers.

3) The Great Intercession of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) on the Day of Judgement.

4) His (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) intercession for the people of this Ummah who committed major sins.

5) All the miracles of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) other than the Qur'aan.

6) Matters relating to the beginning of the creation.

7) The description of the Malaa’ikah, the Jinn, the Jannah, and Jahannam (the Fire).

8) The belief that both the Jannah and the Fire are presently existing.

9) The belief that the Black Stone is a stone from the Jannah.

10) The belief that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) looked into al-Jannah and saw all that Allaah has prepared for the pious believers.

11) The belief that ten (10) companions of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) were specifically promised the Jannah.

12) The belief that everyone will be questioned in his grave by two angels (i.e. Munkar and Nakeer).

13) The belief in the punishment in the grave.

14) The belief that the Scale (al-Meezaan) which weighs the deeds on the Day of Judgement has two pans.

15) The belief in the Bridge (as-Siraat) which stretches over Jahannam.

16) The belief in the Fountain (al-Kawthar) of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), and that whoever drinks once from it on the Day of Judgement will never thirst after that.

17) The belief that seventy thousand (70,000) members of the Ummah of Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) would enter the Jannah without reckoning.

18) The belief in the good and evil consequences of al-Qadr.

19) The belief that Allaah has written for everyone his happiness, his sadness, his provision, and the time of his death.

20) The belief that a Muslim who commits a major sin will not abide in Jahannam forever.

21) The belief in the Pen that was created by Allaah, and that He commanded it to write everything that will occur.

22) The belief that Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’ala) has prohibited the earth from eating the bodies of the Messengers.

Conclusion

So, my dear brothers and sisters in Hizb ut Tahrir; I implore you to reconsider your rejection of Saheeh Ahad Ahadeeth from your `Aqeedah and return to the `Aqeedah of the Salaf us Saalih.

US troops' 'toxic legacy' in Iraq - middleeast - Al Jazeera English



The US military has been accused of leaving behind a legacy of toxic waste, as troops prepare to withdraw from Iraq.
Officials deny the claim but doctors say they have treated people who have had contact with hazardous materials from US bases and there are concerns about dangerous waste being processed by private contractors.

Murthad Abdullah starts Arab tour in Egypt

Murthad Abdullah starts Arab tour in Egypt: " ..."




Al-Assad is expected to visit Lebanon with Abdullah; the two men met in Damascus in October [AFP]

Saudi Arabia's Kafir Abdullah has landed in Egypt on the first leg of a four-nation "Arab unity tour".
Abdullah is scheduled to meet Hosni Munafiq, the Egyptian president, on Wednesday for talks that are expected to focus chiefly on the Arab-Israeli peace process.


US officials are urging Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, to resume direct talks with the Israeli government, but Abbas insists he cannot agree to direct talks without concessions from Israel and guarantees from the United States.

It seems unlikely that Mubarak and Abdullah will endorse direct talks, since those negotiations would likely undermine Abbas' already weak government.

Amr Moussa, the secretary-general of the Arab League, said earlier this month that direct talks should not resume without "written guarantees".


Tribunal fears in Lebanon
The Saudi king will travel to Damascus on Thursday for a meeting with Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, before on Friday travelling to Jordan and on to Lebanon for a series of meetings with political leaders.
Al-Assad is expected to accompany Abdullah on his trip to Lebanon, where both men are scheduled to meet Saad al-Hariri, the Lebanese prime minister.
The Lebanon visit is aimed, in part, at reducing tensions over the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the UN-backed body investigating the murder of Rafiq al-Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister.
Hezbollah revealed last week that members of the group would be implicated in the assassination, an announcement that sparked fears of renewed sectarian violence in Lebanon.

Saad al-Hariri urged the public to remain calm in a speech on Saturday.

Al-Hariri's March 14 coalition is closely allied with Saudi Arabia, while the March 8 opposition bloc - which includes Hezbollah - has strong ties with Syria.
This would be the Syrian president's first trip to Lebanon since 2005, before the al-Hariri assassination. The murder has been widely blamed on Syria, but Damascus has routinely denied involvement.

Press Release::: MUSLIM CONVERT BEATEN UP IN HIS HOME BY IRISH POLICE!

TheCall2IslamMovement: Press Release::: MUSLIM CONVERT BEATEN UP IN HIS H...: "

Press Release Dated 28th July 2010

MUSLIM CONVERT BEATEN UP IN HIS HOME BY IRISH POLICE!

Khalid Kelly, former student of Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad and member of Al-Muhajiroun was brutally beaten up in his Dublin Home on Wednesday 21st July 2010 by what appeared to be an operation involving over 30 armed Irish Police in a totally unprovoked and premeditated attack. The said attack against Mr Kelly was primarily carried out by 5 or 6 plain clothed officers during which his face and body was punched and kicked leading to him being left in a pool of blood with his nose broken and body severely bruised.

The Muslim community globally are rightly outraged and we wonder where and when the next attack against an innocent Muslim in Ireland will occur and where this is all going to lead. This despite the fact that Mr Kelly has always propagated that he lives in Ireland under a covenant of security where the life and the wealth of the Irish is protected in return for his life and wealth being protected. Such a covenant does not now appear to be true in the case of Mr Kelly.

Khalid Kelly has been an open critic of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, for which the Irish regime have allowed Shannon airport to be used as a fuelling post for American planes flying over for bombing raids against Muslim civilians. It seems that the Taoiseach Brian Cowen could well be complicit in trying to silence such voices of opposition to its aiding and abetting the US crusade in Muslim countries.
In his own words Khalid describes the attack:

…its hard to remember how long it went on for I was kicked and punched all over my body and at one stage I curled up into a ball to protect my head and vital organs but the beating continued. Then I was placed on my stomach and my hands placed behind my back and I was handcuffed but even at that stage when I thought they would cease to beat me it still continued with kicks and punches. I began to recite the Qur’an and I was told to keep quiet and at that stage my head was smashed on the floor and blood started to pour from my nose and I think when they saw the pool of blood then they stopped punching me. I was stood up but with my head forced down and was dragged to the bedroom area and thrown to my knees but all the time there was continual shouting cursing using foul language as there had been from the beginning of the ordeal…’


The tactics described above are not dissimilar to those used against Muslims in Guantanamo bay and in Bagram Air Base, leading to speculation that Khalid was singled out to be beaten or tortured with the hope that he remain silent, the Irish special branch already having warned him in April 2010 of consequences should he continue to speak with the media and to spread his ‘radical views’.

The ultimate betrayal by the Guardians of the Flame (Part 2)


In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.

All praise is due to Allah, the Magnificent, the Magnanimous. Peace & blessings on our noble Prophet Muhammed, his family, and his righteous companions.

InshAllah, we will begin from where my last post ended.

Our next guardian of the flame.....

Imam Malik ibn Anas (raheemullah) 711 - 795 A.D.


(An example of aqeedah, particularly, speaking the truth despite of the danger to oneself & guiding
the rulers)

Imagine with me for a few moments brothers & sisters, please.

Imagine the intense heat of Al-Madinah, and then imagine a young boy with fair skin & blue eyes standing in this heat. Now imagine him hiding behind something, like a wall or a tree perhaps, and occasionally stealing glances at the door of a house at a distance. You see, this young guardian whom we are interested in, is waiting for someone. Particularly, he is waiting for a scholar to emerge from the house. The scholar is Nafay, and our young guardian is Imam Malik ibn Anas.

Eventually when Imam Nafay would emerge from his house and head towards the masjid for zohr, Imam Malik would walk past him, convey his salam and then walk away, pretending all the while a coincidence that they ran into each other. Later when Imam Nafay would reach the masjid, Imam Malik would ambush him again, convey his salam & then say “Ya Imam, by the way could you please tell me what Ibn Umar said about this mashala....”

Brothers & sisters, this anecdote relates to us the himma (determination) to acquire knowledge & its appreciation by our young guardian. These qualities would one day mature & constitute this great fakih of Kufa.

The students of Imam Malik narrate about his commanding presence, his persistence in speaking the truth and how efficiently he would disperse his duty of enjoining the good & forbidding the evil. They mention when Imam Malik would guide or even reprimand sometimes the wali's and the khalifa. And these events convey to us the aqeedah of our guardian.

Our guardian of the flame once entered the court of khalifa Haroon Al Rasheed and saw that all seating places close to the khalifa were occupied. Undeterred, he asked aloud, “Ya Ameer-ul-Mumineen, where will you seat your imam?”. The khalifa replied, “Here ya Imam, beside me.” And room was made for Imam Malik to sit next to the khalifa.

Lets pause for a minute and analyze the situation inshAllah.

Imam Malik did not raise the question of seating arrangements in the court of the khalifa out of haughtiness. Rather, his desire was to establish the principle that the place of religious leaders is by the side of the governing leaders. This enables the imaam's to provide guidance to the khulafah, who in return guide the ummah on the shariah of Allah azawjal. Secondly, this action of imaam Malik establishes the criteria of Allah Azawjal that the khulafah are not necessarily above the scholars. Rather, in the eyes of Allah, one's status as a Muslim is better only by the degree of one's piety.

Diligently, Imam Malik would establish the correct aqeedah scholars of deen ought to have.

On a different occasion, once in the court khalifa Haroon ar-Rasheed sneezed & Imam Malik following the sunnah of RasolAllah said “Ya Ameer ul-Mumineen, Yarhamakullah”. You see it was customary that if the khalifa sneezes, no one, out of respect for the khalifa would say “Yarhamakullah”. Ergo, the entire court was silent except our guardian, whose aqeedah demanded that he speak the truth, regardless of the consequences. khalifa Haroon ar-Rasheed in return replied, “ahidukumullah wa subhanakum”. Later, as Imam Malik was leaving the court, one of the guards of the khalifa approached the imam & said, “Ya Imam, next time do not say to the khalifa “yarhamakullah. Instead when he sneezes, remain silent.”

Some time passed and Imam Malik was once again in the court of khalifa Haroon ar-Rasheed. The khalifa again sneezed & our guardian said out loud, “Ya khalifatul-mumineen, do you want the ruling of Allah, or do you want the ruling of shaytan?”. The khalifa righteously replied, “I want the ruling of Allah”. To which Imam Malik said, “yarhamakullah”.

Brothers and sisters, lets pause here for a second and try to visualize the scenario. We have here a extremely powerful khalifa who would not hesitate to wipe out dissidents. Yet, with full knowledge of this fact, a scholar chooses to guide & correct the khalifa in front of everyone. The scholar takes the initiative to remind the ruler that the law of Allah azawjal & the sunnah of his nabi Mohammed(SAW) take precedence.

Truly, this sets a clear precedence for scholars & their role as guardians. Truly, this is amar-bin-maroof-wa-nahya-anil-munkar.

To understand the aqeedah of our current guardian as far as the wealth in possession of the rulers, let us inshAllah consider the following interaction between Imam Malik & khalifa Haroon ar-Rasheed.

Once khalifa Haroon ar-Rasheed took an oath & was unable to fulfill it. Shariah demanded that a kafara be made to compensate for this action by the khalifa. So essentially, the khalifa was required by shariah to free a slave, if the freeing of a slave was impossible then feeding ten among the poor would suffice, and if the feeding of the poor was unaffordable then the last option is to fast for three days consequtively. Khalifa Haroon ar-Rasheed was informed of these options by the scholars when he inquired for a suitable atonement. However, Imam Malik had a different opinion. He advised the khalifa, “Ya ameer-ul-mumineen, your kafara is fasting for three days.” Confused, Haroon ar-Rasheed objected, “Ya imaam, but the Quran says, 'whoever cannot afford to feed ten poor people, he should then fast for three days'. (Surah Al-Ma'idah,8). And surely I can feed ten among the poor.”

Our beloved guardian of the flame guided, “Ameer-ul-Mumineen, the money between your hands, does not belong to you, rather it belongs to the ummah of Mohammed(SAW). If we took away all the wealth from bayt-ul-maal, you would be left with no money & then would have to fast for three days”.

Indeed, the scholars are guides for the truth and these guardians do not waver in speaking the truth irrespective of the audience.

Our next guardian of the flame.....

Imam Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak (raheemullah) 736 - 797 A.D.


(An example of the accurate manhaj in light of the sunnah of Rasullah(SAW))

There are some men in the history of Islam who are like gems. Men whose sheer light of life when shines, everything else around them turns mundane. These are men who have left a distinct path for future generations to follow. These are illustrious men. Such was our guardian Imam Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak.

He is infamous for two attributes particularly;
1)His knowledge of the ahadith of Rasullah(SAW)
2)His love for Jihad fee-sabililAllah

These qualities of his are the essence of the sunnah of RasolAllah(SAW). That is, practicing the deen after acquiring the knowledge.

Imam Al-Zahaby(rahemullah) has commented on our current guardian, “He was the scholar of Islam, the leader of the pious. He spent his life acquiring knowledge, participating in battles, conducting trade, spending from his plentiful wealth on his students. He would sponsor them (his students) for hajj, support them in their study of knowledge and being steadfast in the methodology of the truth.”

Imam Yahya ibn Ma'in(rahemullah) described our guardian as, “he was a cup overflowing with trustworthiness. A scholar of authentic ahadith and the books he narrated from reached twenty-one thousand.”

Imam An-Nasai(rahemullah) has said about Imam Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak, “there was not know at the time of ibn Al-Mubarak anyone more glorious or excellent than him, or anymore with more virtues than he possessed.”

To practice his knowledge & fulfill his responsibility as guardian of Islam, Imam Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak would, it is said in some narration that he would acquire knowledge & teach it for four months, and then go to jihad on the front lines against the Byzantians for four months. In a different narration, he would learn & teach for ten months & then wage jihad for two months.

His diligent efforts to spread the knowledge of Islam yielded in authoring of nine books and the most famous of these are “kitab-ul-Jihad” and “kitab-ul-Zuhud”.

As if sensing the most essential attribute required in a Muslim, Imam Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak would narrate ahadith focusing on fortifying the character of a person & thus contribute to building a strong personality in a believer. Such efforts by this guardian developed love & admiration in the heart's of the ummah in his time. So much so that once the mother of khalifah Haroon Ar-Rasheed from her balcony witnessed a huge throng of people accompanying a man. She asked, “who is that man?” and she was informed, “He is Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak, the ameer, the alim of Khurasan.” Amazed by the love of the people accompanying our guardian, she commented, “this scholar is the real king. Unlike my son, who cannot come out before the people without his bodyguards.”

Lets briefly pause here inshAllah and recall that history has once before shown us a similar spectacle in the time of Ameer ul-Mu'mineen Umar bin Al-Khattab(RA). When the Persian king Hurmuz was baffled to find Umar bin Al-Khattab(RA) in the afternoon sleeping under a tree without any armor or guards in Medina, Hurmuz commented, “you have ruled with justice, and so you can rest in peace.”

SubhanAllah.

Hiban Ibn Musa(Rahemullah) has narrated that on his first battle fee-sabilil-Allah Imam Abdullah Ibn Mubarak said, “To Allah we belong, and to him we shall return. All our life we spent on gathering knowledge on the the minor points of fiqh. We did not realize that the gates of jannah lay open here at the battlefields and we have left them behind.” And then Imam Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak began to cry.

Brothers and sisters, here lies the ideal example of a manhaj executed to its completion, just as RasolAllah(SAW) defined it in his sunnah. This is our guardian who had acquired the knowledge of the deen & had put it into practice. And thus, completing the transition from an aqeedah to manhaj.

Allah azawjal has preserved for us in history an extremely precious exchange of words between our guardian and his friend Al-Fudayl Ibn Ayadh. Al-Fudayl Ibn Ayadh once sent a letter to Imam Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak commending to our guardian the virtues of hajj & the sacrifices of those visiting the house of Allah azawjal. Our guardian of Islam wrote back with the following words, “oh worshiper of the two harrams (Mecca & Medina), if you were to see you would realize that in you in your worship are only playing. Whoever, his cheeks get splattered with his tears while in haj, then our necks are being splattered with our blood. Whoever, rides his horse in joy, our horses on the day of jihad are getting tired in the path of Allah. For you is the perfume that you put on, for us is the dust of the hoofs our horses. Indeed, the true & undeniable saying from our Prophet(SAW) has come that the dust that comes from the hoofs of the horses in fee-sabilil-Allah will never meet the rising smoke of hell-fire. And this is the truth the book of Allah has spoken before us that the shaheed never dies. And Allah never lies.”

Dog Communion angers Christians

Christians across Canada have been angered by an Anglican priest, who offered Holy Communion to a dog accompanying a newcomer in the congregation.

Donald Keith, the owner of the dog 'Trapper', said as he was new to the holy place the vicar personally invited him up to receive his communion.

"The minister welcomed me and said come up and take communion, and Trapper came up with me and the minister gave him communion as well," said Keith, wrote the Telegraph on Monday.

"Then he bent his head and said a little prayer," Keith said.

St. Peter's Anglican Church in Toronto has since been targeted by complaining Christians all over Canada.

"Holy smokes. This is small stuff. I thought it was innocent and it made me think of the blessing of the animals," said Keith.

"This has blown me away. The church is even getting emails from Catholics," he said.

The dog has since been banned from receiving the sacrament which Christians consider as representation of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

Kabul: US-led forces kill 52 civilians

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has confirmed that a recent US-led NATO air strike killed at least 52 civilians including several women and children.

Karzai said on Monday that NATO troops fired a rocket that killed "52 innocent civilians" in southern Afghanistan.

The government sources say that the attack happened on Friday when civilians crammed into a house to flee the exchange of fire between NATO troops and alleged militants.

The late Friday bombardment took place in the city of Sangin in southern Helmand Province.

The incident followed a similar one in which US-led helicopter gunships fired on villagers who were fleeing to safety.

The Afghan president ordered an investigation into the deadly strike. NATO says it has launched its own inquiry into the incident but has refused to provide further details.

The issue of civilian casualties has caused friction between Washington and the Karzai government in Kabul.

Civilian casualties are on the rise despite a promise by the new commander of the US and NATO forces in Afghanistan. General David Petraeus vowed earlier this month that protecting civilian lives would his top priority.

US-led forces in Afghanistan regularly launch attacks on alleged militant hideouts, but the strikes usually result in civilian casualties.

Civilians have been the main victims of violence in Afghanistan, particularly in the country's troubled southern and eastern provinces, where they fall victim to both militant and foreign fire.

Emergency Demonstration:

Emergency Demonstration: at 6pm TODAY, Monday, 26th July 2010 outside Downing Street due to the leak report on innocent killing of Muslims by the crusaders. Please Abu Yahyah (079 6157 7221) for more info. Organised by Muslims Against Crusades.

The ultimate betrayal by the Guardians of the Flame (Part 1)


In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.

All praise is due to Allah, the Magnificent, the Magnanimous. Peace & blessings on our noble Prophet Muhammed, his family, and his righteous companions.

InshAllah, this is a multi-part post.

Allah Azawjal says in the Holy Quran,

Those who love (to see) scandal published broadcast among the Believers, will have a grievous Penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: Allah knows, and ye know not.” (Surah An-Noor, 19)

I thought about the title of this post for some time. And then decided that the title had to convey a sense of immense loss by the ummah at the hands of the ones who were given a crucial responsibility.

The responsibility of guiding the lay-men, the everyday Muslims, the responsibility of re-establishing the criteria when things become obscure and the burden of defending Islam against internal & external enemies.

The responsible ones, these guardians, are the Scholars, and the flame is Islam.

Year 632 C.E. was when nabuwa (prophethood) ended. It was to be the last time a messenger from Allah azawjal would be a guide & establish the hadood (laws/regulations). Thereafter guardianship passed onto the common among mankind. First it was the salaf-us-salaheen, the sahaba, followed by the tabaeen, and then came the scholars enjoining the good & forbidding the evil. Scholars like Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik bin Anas, Imam Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, Imam Sha'fee, Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal, Imam Al-Bukhari, Imam Muslim, Imam Ibn Kathir, Imam Al-Izz bin Abdus-Salam, Imam Ibn Taymiyah, down to scholars of our age, Imam Hasan Al-Bana, Imam Sayid Qutb, Imam Abdullah Azaam, Imam Yusuf Al Uyari, etc., were excellent guardians of the flame, may Allah azawjal have mercy on them all.

The scholars I have listed above had several common attributes.

  1. Their imaan was the best of imaan.

  2. Their aqeedah was the best of aqeedah.

      i)They spoke the truth irrespective of the danger to their well-being.

      ii)They defended the oppressed against the oppressor(s).

      iii) They guided those is power, lest the powerful become corrupt.

      III) Their manjah was accurate in reference to the sunnah of Rasolullah(SAW).

      IV) Finally, in light of the above, they upheld the trust of the ummah.

InshAllah, I will mention below some fascinating instances in the lives of these scholars. The purpose is three-fold. Firstly, to give the reader an idea as to why the term “guardians” best suits these men of faith. Secondly, to prove how these scholars fulfilled the responsibility entrusted to them. And lastly, more importantly, I aim to inshAllah establish the criteria to help us understand why majority of the scholars of today have failed as guardians of the flame.

The four rightly guided khulafa (may Allah be pleased with them) set a standard of governess for subsequent rulers. To the ummah these four presented an example of how men who possessed imaan, tawqa, and khashiya of Allah could be excellent leaders. Unfortunately, with the exception of Umar bin Abdul Aziz (raheemullah), all those from the ummah who later established themselves as leaders, i.e. Khulafa, Khans, Sultans, Kings, and Presidents were tainted with the love of this world & eventually become oppressors, hypocrites, tyrants and worse, disbelievers.

Imam Abu Hanifa (raheemullah) 699-765 A.D.

(An example of imaan)

The khilafah at the time of this venerated guardian initially belonged to the Umayyads. The governor of Iraq Yazid ibn 'Amr offered Imam Abu Hanifa the esteemed position of the Qadi-ul-Qadat, the chief of Judges. In his love for piety & rejection of worldly temptations, Imam Abu Hanifa declined the offer (starkly contrast to the scholars of the kings today). The governor, akin to the tyrants of our age, imprisoned the Imaam. Imaam Abu Hanifa was tortured in prison, released, re-captured, offered the position again, and then upon his re-rejection, imprisoned and tortured once more. The escape of this guardian to Mecca and the subsequent rise of the Abassids was of little solace. Soon Khalifa Ja'far Al-Mansur offered Imaam Abu Hanifa the same position and again the guardian refused.

Once, after a torture session he wept & was asked if it was due to the pain. He replied, “No, I do not cry for myself but rather for the tears of my mother when she will see me in this condition.” Even in moments of extreme suffering Imam Abu Hanifa was more concerned with the well-being of others. In this case, his mother.

SubhanAllah.

Zufar, Imam Abu Hanifa's student once commented, “I adhered to Imam Abu Hanifa as my teacher for twenty years. I have never seen someone who advised the masses more than he did. I have never seen someone who cared more for the people than he used to. In the morning, he would engage in knowledge and after that he would leave to ask about the people. He would help who needed help, he would give money to the financially needy, he would visit the sick, he would attend the janazah of the dead and he would comfort the poor. In the night, he would isolate himself from society, pray & read the Quran.”

The fruit of the school of this guardian of the flame, Imam Abu Hanifa; 36 dedicated students, 28 of whom were qualified to be qadhis, 6 of whom were wise enough to give fatawa based on ijtihad, and finally, 2 among the 6 possessed the knowledge of ijtihad & to correct the 28 judges.

Until his last days, Imam Abu Hanifa, the great guardian of Islam, never accepted any government position. He died in prison in the year 767 clutching onto his imaan. May Allah azawjal have mercy on him.
