but u should be killing all the muslims who became christian if they don't rebunt back to allah. That's what I learned. A muslim that believes then disbelieves should be killed according to an authentic hadith.

Tony__montana that website is not what they stand for. They're muslims who are trying to help the muslim people.

* I truly believe what will bring the honour of the muslims back is to impose the Islamic shariah(not fake ones like Saudi Arabia) via developing a Khalifah. What do you think? بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Khilafah was destroyed in Turkey 79 years ago; so let the Righteous Khilafah be declared again in Turkey It was a day like this 79 years ago, and more specifically on the 3rd of March 1924 that the kuffar were able to reap the fruits of their tireless efforts of plotting and planning, which they had expended for more than a hundred years. This happened when the criminal English agent, Mustafa Kemal (so-called Ataturk, the ‘Father of the Turks’!) announced that the Grand National Assembly had agreed to destroy the Khilafah; and announced the establishment of a secular, irreligious, Turkish republic after washing his hands from responsibility of the remaining Islamic lands which the kuffar occupied in the First World War. Since that day the Islamic ummah has lived a life full of calamities; she was broken up into small mini states controlled by the enemies of Islam in every aspect. The Muslims were oppressed and became the object of the kuffar’s derision in Kashmir, Philippines, Thailand, Chechnya, Iraq, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Afghanistan, Palestine and other lands belonging to the Muslims until what happened to the Muslims became the subject of studies and statistics. Thousands were killed, millions dispossessed and the honour of tens of thousands has been violated amongst other calamities. Anyone who reads the papers or hears the news always finds the Muslims under a state of oppression, humiliation and killings; and this is prevalent in every report. How many oppressed peoples are there in the Islamic ummah who have no one to redress the injustice done to them; and how many people’s innocent blood has been spilled without anyone to protect them; and how many pure Muslim women have cried after their honour was violated without anyone to avenge them? The Sultan of Islam used to treat the kuffar with fairness and protect them, their honour and their dignity; yet today there is no one to take care of the oppressed Muslims and protect their honour. O Muslims! We are at such a state that there is none from amongst us that does not shed tears when he sees the Muslims being humiliated and dispossessed. Who from us does not feel the pain when he hears the cries of Muslim women ring in his ear and whose emotions are not shaken? There is no one from us who is not grieved for the Muslim children who are killed in cold blood at the hands of the Jews in Palestine and at the hands of America and Britain in Iraq and Afghanistan. By Allâh, had we not been believers in Allâh and trusting in His help, then some of us would have died out of sadness for what is happening to our Muslim brothers everywhere. The life of a Muslim is filled with misery and distress; he sees his ummah weak, humiliated, afflicted and hurt every day and furthermore witnesses the loss of her authority, standing and dignity. Indeed, the ummah is not in a situation as she used to be under the banner of Islam, when she used to be ruled by the Khilafah state that united the Muslims. She was not divided as we see today by borders drawn up by the kafir colonialists or dispersed by oppressive laws of residence. The Muslim used to travel from one corner of the Muslim lands to another without anyone asking him who he was or describing him as a foreigner. When the Khilafah existed the Muslims witnessed the power of Islam through the power of the Khilafah. They led the world under the banner of the Khilafah that applied Islam and conveyed it as a message, guidance and light to the world. However, where is the Khilafah? It existed in the past, but it was destroyed and suspended as a system. However, it will come back again soon, insha Allâh. O Muslims in Turkey! What reminds us more than anything else of the destruction of the Khilafah is the pride of the rulers of Turkey in what they call ‘revolutions and Kemalist principles’ which were nothing but revolutions against the Khilafah state and the deen of Islam. These revolutions were undertaken by Mustafa Kemal to please his British masters. In those days the ummah lived through a critical period where the British stipulated the following 4 conditions, beside other conditions, in the Lausanne conference in order to recognise the independence of Turkey; they were: 1. Complete abolition of the Khilafah and the expulsion of the Khaleefah and seizure of his property. 2. Turkey should promise to suppress any movement undertaken by the supporters of Khilafah. 3. Turkey should cut her links with Islam. 4. Turkey should adopt a secular constitution instead of its constitution derived from the rules of Islam. The National Assembly met in Turkey and Mustafa Kemal addressed the people by saying, Mustafa Kemal was the one who put forward to the Assembly a decree enjoining the abolishment of the Khilafah saying, “We must at all costs safeguard the endangered republic and make her rise upon solid scientific bases. The Khaleefah and the legacies of the Ottoman family must go, the dilapidated religious courts and their laws must be replaced by modern courts and laws, and the cleric’s schools must concede their place to official secular schools.” In the morning of the third day of March 1924, it was announced that the Greater National Assembly had approved the abolishment of the Khilafah and the separation of the deen from the state. On the same night, Mustafa Kemal sent an order to the governor of Istanbul stipulating that the Khaleefah, Abdul Majid should leave Turkey before the dawn of the next day. So the governor went accompanied with a garrison from the police force to the Khaleefah’s palace in the middle of the night; and the Khaleefah was forced to climb aboard a car that took him across the borders. Two days later, Mustafa Kemal gathered all the throne’s princes and princesses and deported them outside the country. In this way the Khilafah was destroyed and Mustafa Kamal implemented the conditions of the Lausanne conference that were demanded by Curzon, the foreign secretary. The Lausanne agreement was signed in 1924 and the states recognized the independence of Turkey. Shortly after this some English MP’s violently protested against Curzon in the House of Commons for recognizing the independence of Turkey. Curzon then replied by saying,“the point at issue is that Turkey has been destroyed and shall never rise again, because we have destroyed her spiritual power: the Khilafah and Islam.” Those were critical nights in which the political entity of the Muslims was destroyed. At that time the Islamic ummah was supposed to raise its sword in the face of this treacherous agent who changed Dar al-Islam into Dar al-Kufr and realized for the kuffar a dream they had wished for a long time. However, the Islamic ummah was overwhelmed, in the worst state of decline. So the crime took place and the kuffar tightened their grip over the Islamic lands and tore it up into pieces. They divided the one ummah into nationalities, ethnicities and tribes; they tore up the single country into homelands and regions in which they established borders and barriers. In place of a single Khilafah state they established cartoon states and installed rulers as agents to carry out the orders of their kuffar masters. They abolished the Islamic Sharee’ah from the sphere of ruling, economy, international relations, domestic transactions and judiciary. They separated the deen from the state and confined the Islamic deen to certain rituals, like those in Christianity. They worked to destroy the Islamic culture and uproot the Islamic thoughts to plant in their place western thoughts and culture. O Muslims! The Islamic ummah did not find any honour and dignity except when Islam used to lead her and the Khilafah state used to rule her. Look at how the ummah today, facing the 79th year since the destruction of the Khilafah, suffers under the rules of kufr which have cut her unity, torn up her body, deprived her of the blessing of living under the system of her Lord and barred her from the Khilafah Rashidah that should rule her by truth and justice. She is, instead, ruled by some of her own sons with kufr systems and rules which do not emanate form her ‘aqeedah. The Khilafah state is fundamental to the application of the Islamic rules; and its presence is the Shar’ee method defined by Islam to implement and execute these rules and to carry Islam as a message of Guidance and Light to the world. This is because Islam is a universal message for the whole of mankind. He (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) said, وَأَنِ احْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ اللّهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءهُمْ وَاحْذَرْهُمْ أَن يَفْتِنُوكَ عَن بَعْضِ مَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ إِلَيْكَ “And so judge (you O Muhammad - saw) between them by that which Allâh has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad - saw) far away from some of that which Allâh has sent down to you” [al-Maa’idah: 49]. He (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) willed that the Islamic ummah should reawaken again and revive from her decline and realise that her rescue is only by the re-establishment of the Khilafah. One of the most important fundamentals of Islam, after the Islamic ‘aqeedah is the Khilafah state. Without the Khilafah, the Islamic lands will remain torn up and the Islamic peoples will remain divided. Without the Khilafah the kafir, crusader and colonial states will continue to control us, plunder our resources and create divisions amongst us. Without the Khilafah, the Jews will continue to occupy our sacred places and kill and humiliate our brothers in Palestine. Without the Khilafah, the Islamic peoples in Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir, Uzbekistan and so on will continue to be killed. They will continue to be expelled from their homes, their masjids will be destroyed and their honour will be violated, all these calamities without anybody coming to their rescue. Without the Khilafah, those Muslims who do not work seriously for its implementation will be sinful and incur the anger of Allâh  even if they fast, pray, make Hajj and pay Zakah. This is because the work to establish the Khilafah Rashidah is a fard on every Muslim, and it should be conducted with the most extreme effort and utmost speed. O Muslims! The Khilafah Rashidah on the way of the Prophethood is coming soon by the help of Allâh. Its prerequisites in terms of system and statesmen are present. The voices of the Muslims in all parts of the world from Turkey to Nigeria, and from Uzbekistan to Indonesia are resoundingly demanding its return. It will come back despite the efforts and money spent by the kuffar and the agents to prevent its return. So strengthen your resolve and work seriously with the sincere da’wah carriers who are working to re-establish the Khilafah, so that you may attain the victory that Allâh has promised. Just as the Khilafah was destroyed 79 years ago in Turkey, let the Khilafah Rashidah be declared again in Turkey. He (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) said; وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ “Allâh has promised those among you who believe and do righteous deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practice their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islâm). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear, (provided) they (believers) worship Him and do not associate anything (in worship) with Him. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh)” [ An-Noor :55]. source:alkhalifah.com

Sorry I meant that the prophet said that 'we shouldn't give a muslim to a kuffar.

Ethiopian Jews & Racism *** I really feel sorry for these Ethiopians, they should've stayed in Ethiopia!!*** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECENTLY, ISRAELI RADIO REPORTED THAT AN ETHIOPIAN JEW SERVING IN THE ISRAELI ARMY WAS HURLED OUT OF A MILITARY CLINIC AND SUBJECTED TO RACIST ABUSE BY A SUPERIOR OFFICER. THE REPORT PROMPTED CONDEMNATION FROM ISRAELI POLITICIANS AND LEADERS OF THE ETHIOPIAN JEWS IN ISRAEL. THE EPISODE COMES AS THE FORMERLY RURAL ETHIOPIANS FEEL INCREASINGLY ALIENATED BY A MODERN SOCIETY THAT ONCE WELCOMED THEM AS LONG-LOST BROTHERS AND SISTERS. NEARLY 60-THOUSAND ETHIOPIAN JEWS -- KNOWN AS THE FALASHAS" BUT WHO PREFER TO BE CALLED "BETA ISRAELS" -- LIVE IN ISRAEL. ALMOST ALL OF THEM WERE BROUGHT FROM A REMOTE AREA IN NORTHERN ETHIOPIA IN AIRLIFTS DURING THE PAST TWO DECADES. THE OPERATIONS, CARRIED OUT BY THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, WERE GENERALLY HAILED AS GREAT HUMANITARIAN MOVES, RESCUING JEWS FROM A LAND TORN BY CIVIL WAR AND POVERTY. BUT THE ETHIOPIANS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING MORE AND MORE ABOUT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR COLOR. ADDISU MASSALA IS THE FIRST ETHIOPIAN ELECTED TO ISRAEL'S PARLIAMENT. HE ARTICULATES THE LATEST COMPLAINT BY THE ETHIOPIANS. I CANNOT SAY THE ISRAELI SOCIETY AND THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ETHIOPIAN JEWS. BUT THERE ARE SOME NATIVE ISRAELIS WHO CALL (TELL) ETHIOPIAN SOLDIERS "BLACKS, IN HEBREW KUSHI (NIGGER), AFRICAN, PRIMITIVE, THIS IS A JEWISH MILITARY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? GO TO AFRICA." BECAUSE OF THE SOCIAL PROBLEM AND RACISM, THE ETHIOPIAN YOUNG SOLDIERS ARE COMMITTING SUICIDES. MR. ADDISU SAYS THREE ETHIOPIAN SOLDIERS IN THE ISRAELI ARMY COMMITTED SUICIDE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. HE SAYS WHILE THE ETHIOPIANS MAKE UP LESS THAN HALF OF ONE PERCENT OF THE ARMY'S RECRUITS, THEY COMPRISE TEN PERCENT OF SUICIDES AMONG SOLDIERS. ISRAELI MILITARY OFFICIALS SAY THEY REGRET THE SUICIDES, BUT INSIST THAT THEY ARE MAINLY DUE TO FAMILY PROBLEMS OR OTHER FACTORS OUTSIDE THE ARMY. THEY DENY THAT THE SUICIDES RESULTS FROM RACISM IN THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES (I-D-F). BRIGADIER GENERAL ODED BEN-AMI IS THE CHIEF SPOKESMAN FOR THE ARMY. THE COMMANDERS OF THE ISRAELI ARMY BELIEVE THE NEWCOMERS FROM ETHIOPIA ARE ABSOLUTELY ONE PART OF THE ISRAELI SOCIETY. I THINK THIS IS THE WORST WAY TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. THIS IS THE WORST AND NASTIEST WAY TO TALK TO ANYONE, ANY IMMIGRANT TO ISRAEL, ESPECIALLY TO OUR BROTHERS FROM ETHIOPIA. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AGAINST THE POLICY OF THE I-D-F FORCES. RACISM WITHIN THE I-D-F IS ONE THING WE WILL NEVER LET HAPPEN AMONG OURSELVES, ABSOLUTELY. DESPITE SUCH ASSURANCES, MR. ADDISU IS CALLING FOR THE DISMISSAL OF THE ISRAELI OFFICER WHO EJECTED THE ETHIOPIAN SOLDIER FROM AN ARMY INFIRMARY LAST MONTH. HE ALSO WANTS THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF RACISM. PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL MR. NETANYAHU MET WITH THE YOUNG ETHIOPIAN SOLDIER, AND HE APOLOGIZED. BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO APOLOGIZE. WHAT THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO AND WHAT WE DEMAND FROM THE GOVERNMENT IS TO SPEAK ABOUT RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION, AND TO CREATE A FERTILE CONDITION, A FERTILE ATMOSPHERE IN ORDER TO ABSORB ETHIOPIAN YOUNGSTERS IN THE ARMY. ARMY SPOKESMAN GENERAL BEN-ALI SAYS THE OFFICER WHO EJECTED THE ETHIOPIAN SOLDIER FROM THE CLINIC HAS BEEN PUNISHED, AND THAT THE ARMY IS DISCUSSING HIS FUTURE WITHIN THE ARMED FORCES. THE GENERAL SAYS THE ARMY HAS A TWO-FOLD PROGRAM TO INCREASE SENSITIVITY TO THE PROBLEM. FIRST OF ALL WE ARE GOING TO DEEPEN THE EDUCATION AND INFORMATION AMONG OUR OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS TO BE MUCH MORE DELICATE, TO BE MUCH MORE EASY WITH THE ETHIOPIAN SOLDIERS. SECONDLY, WE ARE GOING TO GIVE MUCH MORE CARE TO THOSE AMONG THE SOLDIERS COMING FROM ETHIOPIA WHO NEED HELP AND SUPPORT AND EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN GIVE THEM IN ORDER TO EASE THEIR SERVICE. THE CHARGES OF RACISM IN THE ARMY FOLLOWS COMPLAINTS BY THE ETHIOPIANS THAT THEY ARE GIVEN INFERIOR HOUSING. THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR GOVERNMENT GRANTS OF UP TO 120-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR HOME PURCHASES. ALTHOUGH THE GRANTS ARE SAID TO BE LARGER THAN THOSE AVAILABLE TO OTHER IMMIGRANTS, LEADERS OF THE ETHIOPIAN JEWS SAY SOME MUST STILL LIVE IN MOBILE HOMES FAR FROM JOB CENTERS AND SCHOOLS. THE ETHIOPIANS WERE CUT OFF FOR CENTURIES FROM THE REST OF THE JEWISH DIASPORA. THOUGH THEY MAINTAINED JEWISH TRADITIONS, THEIR JEWISHNESS WAS ONCE QUESTIONED BY SOME ORTHODOX ISRAELI RABBIS WHO INSISTED THAT THE ETHIOPIANS SHOULD UNDERGO RITUAL BATHS TO BE OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED AS JEWISH. THE ETHIOPIANS REGARDED THIS AS DEMEANING AND LARGELY REFUSED TO DO SO. THEIR SENSE OF ALIENATION REACHED A CLIMAX LAST YEAR WHEN THEY STAGED A VIOLENT DEMONSTRATION TO PROTEST A SECRET GOVERNMENT POLICY OF DISCARDING THEIR BLOOD DONATIONS FOR FEAR OF AIDS CONTAMINATION. THE GOVERNMENT APOLOGIZED FOR THE BLOOD SCANDAL AND APPOINTED A STATE COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER. NEVERTHELESS, ANALYSTS SAY THE SCANDAL COMBINED WITH THE LATEST CHARGE OF RACISM COULD REINFORCE THE ETHIOPIANS FEELINGS OF BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN A LAND THEY BELIEVE TO BE THEIR OWN. 03-Apr-97 Source: Voice of America

P.S. the Simpsons are really a Jewish family in disguise!! I even heard from Jewish people that they're Jews. I also heard they have a menorah(candelabara) the which the Jews use in Bar mitzvah ceremonies in there kitchen cabinet-it was never revealed how it got there. P.S. I don't hate Jews-I hate every Zionist and oppressor this world has!

We might not know it but what we watch-although we view it as being JUST comedy(although I don't think ppl create things without any purpose) subconciously motivates us to have certain views about the world we might not even be aware of. I love the simpson and I wont stop watching it. So go to hell if you think what I think is not right. woah!! :eek:

Oppressed Women of the West and theSolution The sexual revolution in the 70's seemed to have brought a new phase inwomen's lives. The new picture is of a woman who is liberated from the kitchensink, a woman who is on equal footing with the man. The dark age of oppressionseems to have disappeared. But has it?. On the i4th of October 1992 a man was raped in Hampstead at rush hour at 6:30pm. Officially that made it 8 reported cases of violent rape. lt is acceptednow that there is no security for men and women in this western civilisedsociety. but what is worse is that the public reacted with immense shock at thediscovery of "men rapes", as if it is acceptable for a woman to be raped (onceevery two and a half hours in Britain. once every 6 minutes in the USA). The number of women reped increases every year and the measures taken to solvethe problem include defence classes or putting more lights in the street.which are solutions that accept the existence of the problem. and do not go tothe root of the problem. This is the same as treating hair loss that acancer's patient is suffering from. but the cancer is still there. and in thiscase it is the attitude and the lifestyle in the west. a lifestyle which adoptsthe concept that life is short and people should have the "freedom" to "enjoy"themselves. But to have maximum freedom leads to the abandonment of any restrictions andthe goul becomes attaining pleasure at any cost. In a survey done at an American college (UCLA) and later at Cambridge University. 33% of the male students said that they would rape a woman if they could get away with it. 58%said they would "force" a woman into having sex. Thus the concept of freedomand enjoyment dominates the society regardless of the consequences. Youmight think that this is extreme. that the idea of rape cultivates in the sickminds of a minority in the society, but the fact is that this idea lives in theminds of your average decent guy: the fact is that 88% of the woman raped knowthe attacker. and most of the time the rape happens when they are on a date.But men can claim that rape and the increase in rape is a result of the waywomen look and dress. and in the general way they attract attention tothemselves. We are not here to prove or disprove this claim. but we certainlyneed to look at how women live their life, and why they live it in such a manner. IF we look at the woman in today's society, we see that she lives by standardsimposed on her by the society, and the media. Is her role the glamorous careerwomen who has to look like a model all the time? Does she get away from thefact that if she is fat, which, is incidentally a natural physiologicalprocess, then she is ugly, just to conform to the society's concept of beauty(although beauty is in the eye of the beholder). We see that women arebombarded by images of models, who's weight is 23% lower than the averageweight of a women; models who have the highest paid profession (not for skillsor mind), a profession that opens them to exploitation of all kinds. Theirbodies are being used by the media to sell various "items" such as a bar ofchocolate or a car. The reality is that women are over-sensitive to their appearance. In onestatistics it was found that 75% of women were either starting a diet. Finishing one, or just giving up on one. You find that if women are notexercising or involved in a diet then they are talking about dieting, ratherthan talking about real issues such as the social or economic problems. Itdoes not stop it this. In a world where millions are dying at starvation inAfrica and Asia. You find that I50.000 women die every year in America,because of a disease called Anorexia nervosa. i.e they die becouse they don'twant to eat!! Just imagine saying that to a lady in Somalia. What is worsethough, is that this fact about Anorexia nervosa, is not a headline the same way the Aids is, although the number of people who die from Aids in 177countries is less then the number which die, of Anorexia nervosa, in one yearin one country (America). The idea of freedom and benefit comes up again.Looking at a few statistics we see that it is the freedom to exploita women's body to gain the most financial benefit. For example with $33 billion p.a. diet industry at stake. it is not surprising that the abuses of dietingare not discussed. With a $20 billion p.a. cosmetics and a $7 billion p.a.pornographic industry at risk, it is not surprising that the exploitation of awomen's body is not challenged. From the standpoints of freedom and enjoyment, the statistics of rape areacceptable to men. From the standpoints of freedom and benifit, the idea thata women is only looked upon according to parts of her anatomy is acceptable tothe media and big businesses. BUT WHY SHOULD THESE STANDPOINTS BE ACCEPTABLETO WOMEN WHEN IT OPPRESSES THEM? Solution: Islam Source:www.angelfire.com/bc3/johnsonuk/eng/dawa/west.html -

Guantanamo guards embrace Islam uploaded 23 Oct 2003 Could contact with prisoners be having an effect? A number of the US troops guarding the 660 suspected al-Qaida and Taliban detainees in Guantanamo Bay have converted to Islam, according to an Algerian mediator. Hasan Aribi, who chairs his country’s committee on the Guantanamo question, has negotiated the release of 18 detainees from the heavily-guarded detention camp at the eastern tip of Cuba. He claimed that the freed detainees told him that some of their American guards had converted to Islam as a result of daily interaction with Muslim prisoners for the past two years. The US military refused to comment when contacted by Aljazeera.net on Tuesday. Release of prisoner Aribi made his claims at a seminar in Egypt recently which was covered by Islam Online. Speaking to the Cairo seminar, he said his negotiations, held in Washington before the Iraq war, resulted in the release of eight Algerians and ten other detainees. "They told me that the American guards were very sympathetic with them to the extent of buying the detainees’ needs (with) their pocket money," Aribi said. Aribi appealed to other Arab governments to act immediately for the release of their citizens, held without charges in Guantanamo. He said 90% of those held had "no relation whatsoever with al-Qaida or Taliban. They were working with humanitarian relief agencies and were only arrested as part of an American campaign against possible suspects." A New York representative of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said he had also heard reports of US guards converting to Islam in Guantanamo. Arrests No comment was immediately available from the camp. US military officials have imposed stricter reporting limits since the arrests of a Muslim army chaplain and two interpreters. The arrests involved civilian interpreter Ahmad Mihalba, a naturalised US citizen from Egypt, allegedly found with classified documents from Guantanamo and Air Force Airman Ahmad al-Halabi, an interpreter accused of espionage for allegedly sending classified information about the camp to an unspecified "enemy." Army Capt James Yee, a Muslim chaplain, has been charged with disobeying orders. He is accused of leaving the base with a layout of the prison block. All three say they are innocent. Red Cross speaks out The International Committee of the Red Cross has complained on Friday that the camp denies prisoners basic rights and is leading to mental health problems among them. "We've witnessed growing anxiety and a rather serious deterioration in the psychological health of the detainees, linked very much, we believe, to their ongoing uncertainty," said Amanda Williamson of the ICRC's office in Washington. The public protest is highly unusual for the ICRC, which traditionally raises concerns about such conditions privately. Source: Aljazeera

Alhamdullilah, finally rain has come!

Thanks Nur for the inspiring read, keep them coming and God bless you.

la yaab ma leh really, but I think that it's good to analyze everything you view(we often forget). Peace

Ruuahaan somaliida waaye hadal badan yiyiin. Cala kuli xaal muranka intaa iska daayno anaga (hada) an uu kabanoo Somaliiya caawinaada ay uu baahantahay. Odayashas oo qabyalada kuu soo gobteen oo wadankeena gobeen aan deelno aan ka bixiino Somaaliiya. Maalin kasta waxaa maqlaa ' somaaliyaa meel oo waligeed nabad helaysa ma'aho, lakin waaye tahay maxaa dhacay waxaa laga yaaba in oo qof oo SOL ku jiiro inu madaxweyno noo noqdo( sida anigoo kale ), marka cala kuli xaal hadalkaa badan oo action kuu jiirin aan iska dayno. Toban sano baa hadlayneey, ee hurdada aanu ka kacno! Nabadgalyo. Hope my Somalia was comprehendable

Asalaamu ALaykum, Ok, I've noticed that in our Somali culture, it seems ok to dress a certain way when we attend wedding,or new year's bashes, but in everyday life it's not okay. For example, I've seen xijabi sisters who talking to them would come across as never 'will take off my hijab' wear gaalo dress (no hijab) when they go to aroos and New Year parties, when asked why? They say 'well this is a aroos.' Why are there double standards? P.S. THis is an Islamic topic so 'moderators' don't move it from the Islam forum. Thnks

Aslaamu Alaykum, We've been asked questions about Islam before (whats that- this blah blah) and the question is do we know how to answer all correctly. That's why we should practice giving dacwah, and answering certain ?'s. Salaam

Asalaamu Alaykum, Do you watch the Simpsons? Of course you do!! Analyzing the Simpsons sitcom I've noticed many jewish influences although they are depicted as a Christian family. Furthermore, this Sunday there will be a whole show dedicated to the Jews-Krusty the Clown will go to Russia to have his bar mitzvah with his Rabbi father. Also, I've noticed that they always mention Judiasm when the subject of religion comes up-There was one episode when Marge's sister Selma falls in love with this convicted killer and when he comes from jail he visits the Simpsons.As Marge was showing him his bed in the basement he says 'which way is east, I got some praying to do?' Marge then looks nervously at him, then he laughs out 'relax, I'm jewish!' There was an episode also(can't remember name) when Marge asked 'are we jewish?' Well this just lets us know that not only jews control Hollywood-but the Simpsons too(my show).Huum

Nicely said Bee :cool: I don't really blame Steve. He is a victim. Sadly true

1: is it acceptable to promote the use of condom's, recognising the fact that many people cannot remain celibate. My answer: Condoms don't protect- it's a risky. A piece of rubber just isn't going to work. Follow allah's law-remain celibate until marriage, and if you can't get married-fast. so what is the stance of the religion on the taking of blood-tests before marriage. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Islam from what I know doesn't deny blood-tests before marriage.My reasoning is that Islam is a religion of logic. It's a good idea to test you're future husband/wife before you get married-because they might not even be aware that they have this disease. That's all I can answer to my knowledge. I'm waiting from others for the other ?'s.

Rudy :mad: I feel pity for your ignorance and ********* and brainwashed by CNN mentality. Think BOY! How is that poor man Arafat hiding money when he is caged and humiliated in his own home by Israeli military. The pro-Israel media never critizices Israel, but from the point of view of the media- it's the 'fault of Arafat for his not being a good leader'- the Israelis are always depicted as the innocent victims who are defending themselves by shooting pregnant women, innocent children, and blind-folding young men and brutally and cruelly torturing them never to see their families again. No SOMALIA doesn't have this problem, we don't have curfew, we aren't forced to live in reservations, dehumanized like animals, shot at for no reason, houses demolished-watching your baby,mom, dad, sister, brother buried alive in the rubble while you can't do nothing about it. Think!

ohh okay then!
