Wow that is a great undertaking, this is the kind of things that need to be down more over the place

I hope it isnt the case Libaax, Allah knows best, but i hope That he escapes and continues to resist america regardless of what hey may be accused of perpetrating, coz no one else will

Whats up Shaqsii. This is Exactly why i made a point of not watching, what essential is propaganda........and something that glamourised the further death and distruction that suffered inflicted to our ppl, as if they werent suffering enough. Where ever america has intervined and medddled there has been untold death and distruction inflicted apone many the civilian population. I am currently reading a book By william Burns called 'ROGUE STATE' A guide to the worlds only superpower. And this book clearly shows and cites many exmaples of american acts of terrorism, overt war, political and economical distablilisation of any Region, countries or organisation which sort to pursue a political system or ideology that didnt equate with the interests of the Multinational corporations and interest groups. Its a very good read for those interested in getting the big picture of events past and present. Later bro

many other Mcs show respect to islam although i beleive they shouldn't even mention islam in their songs but atleast if they will they should praise it not disrespect it.. i.e. wu-tang I dont no Bro i think you either talk sincerly about islam or you dont. I think they are just using islam as something to give them an edge in the industry and thats not right. Besides i would hazard a guess that none of them no anything about islam.

Baaynial com'on where did u get that stat from 12-1 u and me must have been watchin diff matchs. Admitedly arsenal did have several shorts but most especially in the second have were not on target. Besides i think your missing the point. A team with 1 man up, @ home, supposedly a real contender for the title should have destroyed a supposedly crap team. In the end it was roma who played the beautiful controlled football, and made 2 gilt edgaed chances which 1. emerson was unluck and Monettal missed And northner lol....get with reality bro celtic will knock your rubbish liverpool team out no doubt.

Exactly, and not only him, eminem makes several remarks about muslim or being islamic, or something about the quran, i heard that norega made a song called F**** islam and then u got ppl like Naz etc etc. so my young nomads stop listening to these ignorant Jaahil ppl....the dont no what the hell they are talking about.

couple months ago, I finaly came cross with a Somali homosexual/ethiast in face to face. When we were somehow asked him why he chose that path, he reasoned because the lost of his parents in the war and the lack of any help from relatives or any other Somalis, he decided to change in order to turn his life around and finaly adopted the culture of those who helped him. Whatever he's, I don't think he's the only somali who did that. Imagine the future images and livings of all these smuggling children. NOt only would some of them join prostitution, drugs, and other religions, but their outcome from the majority of them would absolutely effect and influence the future picture of greater Somali people in the long term. No more ppl with same culture, religion, language, and etc. There are many things to come, just wait and witness. It is indeed a frightining possibilty thats is occuring right now as we speak.

Arsenal serious contender for Champions League Reads : The Daily Farax PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZ Firstly Congratulations to Uefa for appointing a green Grocers from German for tonight's referee and @ this point i will leave it there. now to the real meat, the anaylsis of the Game. Arsenal performed to there normal level however Mister Vava voom and co forgot that this is The Champs League and As Roma & not Premiersh** and westham Theiry 'the Race DOG Henry' just proved tonight he's just as i said lot of hot air and nothing much more. I mean how can a team playign against a really poor roma side, down to 10 men, @ HOME, claiming to have the best stricker in the world in the end luckly finish up with a draw thx to Monetlla's miss of the season??? lol well roma got knocked out unluckly but i hope that put all u misguided arsenal fans back into prespective you aint winning shiid well thast my peace

Com'on Lets stop the day dreaming lads and ladets (got to be politically correct) we all know its going to be AS Roma

aight fair enough , but trust me he is without any doubt in my mind a donkey for real . Just as inzaghi is known world wide for being extremly competant @ backing into defenders because of his poor first touch and strength, so is Kluverit is known as the bRIdesmaid the 'nearlyman' of footie, and i make no appoligies for pointing these truths out. But you can argue fairly the same about monettal but he has one Seria , whilst Kluvert has scored the winning goal in euro cup. But given the chose i would Much prefer Montella. Anway today is D-Day for AS Roma, am just hopping that they, despite their horrendus season, display the same form and fighting spirit that destroyed Valencia 2 weeks ago, and held High Flying Lazio to a 1-1 draw this weekend. If they can do that am in doubt that Arsenal will be frustated. And if Francesco Totti is playing......well i need say no more the game is tonight and lets let arsenal and roma do the talking for us. By the way Sheara is also better than Kluivert rember he was awarded 3 best player in 1996/1997 and was top goal score @ euro 1996 .

Hey whats up Libaax, nice seeing you around again walaal. Now inview of your link: The argument for going to war seem evn more remarkable given the countless times other nations have had Un Resoultions which they have failed to abide by or incorporate, namely Israel. But hey they must be different than other nations. They being the 'chosen ppl' of the American administartion.

The psychology of cowards" Printed on Friday, March 07, 2003 @ 02:42:18 EST ( ) By Bill Douglas YellowTimes.org Guest Columnist (United States) (YellowTimes.org) – "The most important question one can ask oneself is: 'Is the universe a friendly place?'" -- Albert Einstein Albert Einstein recognized that from the answer to the question "Is the universe a friendly place?" one could extrapolate the direction of every subsequent life decision. One's entire reality would evolve from the answer to that one all-important question. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and others in the present U.S. government administration pulled strings to avoid military service in Vietnam. Why? Apparently not because they didn't oppose the red menace in Vietnam; after all, they supported others fighting that war. Therefore, the unavoidable answer to that question is cowardice. A coward sees the world as a very threatening place. Herein lies the danger to all the people of the world. When coward are in charge, they will direct the institution they lead to use all of its resources to "protect themselves from harm." This perceived harm could be economic, political, or military. And they perceive harm coming from every corner, from under every bed, and from anyone and everyone who challenges their fearful view of the world. In a coward's world, "you are either with us, or against us." The only way the coward can feel truly and ultimately feel safe is to destroy preemptively all possible challenges to their perceived safety. They don't savor competition and challenge, but rather see it as a direct threat. They have no vision of a win-win scenario because everyone is a potential enemy of their way of life. Therefore, all programs of social uplift must be dismantled because leveling an unfair playing field in the economic realm could pose a threat to their inherited place of economic ascendance. In the cowardly world of George W. Bush, free speech must be controlled. Public television and public radio must be de-funded because if they are not beholden to the corporate entities that share the Bush view of the world, they may allow views of the world that directly threaten Bush's safety and peace of mind. Because in a "you're either with us or against us" world, any diversity of opinion is inherently "against us." Long-time allies who express dissenting opinions are immediately suspect, and implicitly supporting the enemy. On the political/military field, we must crush and/or make subservient every nation on earth. Only a castrated world can pose no threat to the coward. To have influence and control over the world's oil will effectively castrate much of the planet and render it a non-threat. In the coward's mind, the entire world is a very dangerous place. Divergent opinions from other nations are a threat. In fact, diversity itself is a threat. The facade of diversity is acceptable. Black and brown faces may appear in the coward's very white world. However, those black or brown faces must walk lockstep within the mindset of that world; otherwise, they too are "against us." This is a Brave New World that humanity is embarking upon. It requires great courage, and an inherent faith in the goodness of humanity and nature. It will require us to let go of control of our lives so that we don't destroy our ecosystem by manic attempts to reign in the forces of nature to serve our will. It will require that we trust other's goodwill to do what is right in the world without us controlling all that they do. To actually foster democracy in other lands will inherently cause us to "lose control" of the decisions those people make such as electing populists like Hugo Chavez in Venezuela to lead them. It will require faith. Faith is the opposite of fear. When one has faith, one does not fear even the Valley of the Shadow of Death. We live in a time when those who have little faith are controlling our nation. They are driving the force and will of our nation in the direction of control and conquest to allay their bottomless fears. What they cannot see is that there is no absolute safety, and, in fact, the pursuit of that absolute safety is a manic course that will only make the world more and more unsafe. America mourned the death of 3,000 innocents on 9-11. That mourning was carefully directed into a manic rage of fear. This manic rage enables good people to justify the slaughter of untold thousands in the name of our safety. The revulsion of a world that will witness this slaughter in Technicolor broadcasts will create a very dangerous mood for America to endure. Of course, the American media will try to protect U.S. citizens from the images of mayhem and horror that several hundred missiles unleashed upon the crowded city of Baghdad will undoubtedly cause. But the U.S. media, try as it might, will not be able to prevent the rest of the world from witnessing this horrific crime against humanity. The world will watch ... and the world will judge. And the ill will that results will provide the cowards with ample grounds to cause their citizens to fear more and more. And the song will play on. The truth is that our fear is destroying us. Twenty thousand Americans kill themselves every year from depression. This dwarfs the 3,000 lost to terrorists. Could it be that we and our media are the most effective terrorists, terrorizing ourselves into believing that the world is not, and never will be, a friendly place? Where we will go as a nation and a world hinges on one all-important question: "Is the universe a friendly place?" Be careful how you answer it.

I just thought i would also add the following article given that it follows a similar route of discursion Pax Americana: The building of empire" Printed on Monday, March 10, 2003 @ 01:24:27 EST ( ) By Firas Al-Atraqchi YellowTimes.org Columnist (Canada) (YellowTimes.org) – During the Iraq-Iran war, which bled in excess of one million fatalities on both sides from 1980 to 1988, Iraq was touted as the defender of the Arabs' Eastern Gate from the Persian Horde. The U.S. Reagan administration at the time realized that, if Iraq fell, the entire oil-rich Arab Persian Gulf would succumb to Iran's virulent brand of Shiite Islamic governance, stripping the U.S. and the West of vital oil supplies. The fear in the Reagan administration was that Iran could reach through Iraq and tie the knot with Syria and Lebanon's Hizbullah. Not only would Iran control 66 percent of the world's oil supply, but also be in a position to seriously threaten Israel's security. Consequently, the Reagan administration, with the help of George Bush Sr.'s CIA, decided to tip the balance in Iraq's favor ever so slightly. However, the Reagan administration did not yet have diplomatic ties with Iraq (these were severed after the Camp David Peace Accords between Egypt and Israel), but did manage to maintain tacit support through Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. It would later emerge that Egypt's late Anwar Sadat, who was despised by Saddam for the peace deal with Israel, would supply nearly 1 billion dollars (U.S.) in weapons and ammunition. Iraqi military personnel would later reveal that the Egyptian weapons were antiquated and barely functioning. For their part, the Saudis and Kuwaitis poured billions of dollars into Iraq's military infrastructure, including various weapons of mass destruction programs. So entrenched in their support of Iraq were the Kuwaiti authorities that any scrutiny of the Iraqi leadership would be viciously attacked and vilified. Famed historian Edward Said would later recall his exchange with a "in an open conversation with the then Minister of Education Hassan Al-Ibrahim I accused him and his regime of aiding and abetting Arab fascism in their financial support of Saddam Hussein. I was told then that Kuwait was proud to have committed billions of dollars to Saddam's war against 'the Persians,' as they were then contemptuously called, and that it was a more important struggle than someone like me could comprehend." However, the Reagan administration was very careful not to tip the balance too much in Iraq's favor and allowed Israel to supply logistic and minor military aid to Iran. It seems beyond imagination that Iran and Israel would aid one another, but wartime does create strange bedfellows (refer to Israel saving Jordan's King Hussein during Black September in 1970). This was all hush-hush, of course, but would later culminate in the famous Iran-Contra Affair, of which Oliver North is so famously attached. Nevertheless, the mandate was clear; Iraq was to defend the Arab Gulf states, and by economic extension, the West and the U.S. from Iran's expansionist Islamic revolution. The Iraq-Iran war ended with a military stalemate, both economies virtually impotent. Then came the invasion of Kuwait, the 1991 Gulf War, and 12 years of economic sanctions. In 2003, Iraq is yet again playing a role. This time, ironic as it may seem, Iraq is the battleground, the last stand between efforts to create an American Empire and the will of the rest of the world. Indeed, there may be various economic, moral, or diplomatic reasons why the grand former colonialist powers of Europe (France, Germany, Austria, Russia, etc) are so opposed to the U.S. position on Iraq, but they do share a common trepidation that U.S. foreign policy and its economy will eventually dominate them, giving rise to the birth of a new Roman Empire, if you will. History is repeating itself, albeit in a subtle way: today we are on the threshold of 1914 pre-war Europe as the colonial powers argued amongst each other in the shadow of nationalistic aspirations. Beyond the shrewd arguments of eliminating weapons of mass destruction lies the undeniable desire, the overwhelming confidence that the U.S. is both militarily and economically (not so much this one, anymore) able to wield its influence around the world. True, the U.S. has played a major role in policy in most areas of the world, but an invasion of Iraq would ensure that the "American vision," or pax Americana, becomes global. In December 2000, George W. Bush told the press that Saddam was a threat to oil markets and he would "have to be dealt with." In his first week in office, Bush ordered a token, albeit prophetic, cruise missile strike on Iraq In the next few months and years, the plan is to have Iraq become a sterile democracy, its oil wealth would feed world economies for eons to come, and other regional bullies would fall in line, either through direct U.S. intervention or to the disgruntled anger of their 'enslaved' peoples. The Middle East conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli quagmire, would be resolved as militants in Palestine realize they have no support and give in to peace talks, paving the way for a two-state solution. The U.S. economy would get a viagra-like shot in the arm; millions of jobs will be created in the U.S. just to fix Iraq's debilitated oil infrastructure as oil prices plunge to nearly 7 dollars (U.S.) a barrel. Russia's growing influence as a major oil exporter would be diminished; Saudi Arabia would be abandoned for "greener pastures" (Iraq); and with democratic institutions blossoming around the Middle East, Islamic extremism would die out with a whimper. China would remain a paper tiger as it relies on the U.S. for a stable oil flow. Mirroring the post World War II Marshall Plan, the Middle East, and subsequently, the rest of the world, will enjoy unprecedented prosperity under the wings of the American Eagle. While this may sound like a dream to die for, there are innumerable risks involved. Listing them would require an entire volume of works; suffice to say there are cultural, religious, and historic grievances that are not taken into account. Iraq is not Germany; the Germans shared a common religion, a common philosophic foundation, and a common white European heritage with the Allies. Iraq has nothing in common with the U.S. Furthermore, Iraq is not Japan. The Japanese, by tradition, were servile and obedient to Emperor Hirohito, who was not arrested nor brought to trial, but left intact as a figurehead for the Japanese to identify with. Iraq will not have an Iraqi at the helm, but according to news reports, a white, Christian, American woman -- former Ambassador to Yemen, Barbara Bodine. She has nothing in common with the Iraqi people. Moreover, the Iraqis, and by extension, the rest of the Arab and Muslim populace are unlikely to appreciate being "whipped into shape." The notion that an invasion of Iraq is a final chapter of the Crusades is a prevalent one in that part of the world. From a strategic point of view, if all goes well, the world will witness the birth of an empire in the next few months. If something unexpected or unaccounted for occurs, the empire will be stillborn and global carnage may follow.

Sorry but i was unable to load up the relevant pic's. -------------------------------------------------------------- Now days, there is a hot issue of "WAR ON TERRORISM" going around the world. It really started from the 11th September 2001, when the huge twins of WTC Towers crashed down. One real fact lies behind all this. As if you all know. The day was 11 The month was 9 The building contains 110 floors. Now, remember the figure. (11 - 9 - 110) Open the Holy Quran. In Paarah # 11, Surah # 9, Aayat # 110. It says clearly. The building they have built will not cease to be a point of doubt in their hearts, unless their hearts are cut into pieces; and God is Knowing, Wise.(110) (Al Taubah) The Holy Quran briefs about all that going to happen more than 1400 years ago. Dear Brothers & Sisters, THIS MESSAGE IS FOR ALL HUMAN ON THIS EARTH. So, spread this message through out the world to let everybody know about the truth. The truth that Muslims are not Terrorists. The truth that Muslims does not like Terrorism. The truth that ISLAM does not teach us Terrorism. The truth that our religion ISLAM is a peaceful religion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come let's pray for all Human on this Earth either alive or dead. May Almighty Allah forgive us all. AAMEEN

Interesting. But Very long

Let me ask this, i have seen a picture of Adolf Hilter as baby taken in 1890 and below the picture, there is massage which said," Would you kill baby Hitler if yu were transported back to 1890"?. what is your view? Certainly not. It is not a light thing to do taken a human beings life..........and the fact is your are speaking Hypothetically of course i wouldnt. Why coz a baby is a baby

Finally, these risen or is it ricen producers in London couldn’t have immerged at a more perfect timing. Na Mean. Now, my question is. How do we the average Muslims deal with such a bizarre and confounding situation? Very Good question sis, cannot honestly say i have the answer or whether there is 'A' thing that we can do as such to counter act this situation as a whole. I cannot honestly say that i agree fully with what your saying totally because essential you your position would be omitting the simple, but important factor that these muslims (whether you agree or disagree with their actions) are @ thw end of the day Human beings. And whilst they are pursequted (excuse the spelling) in their respective countries the will undoubtly retaliate, they shouldnt remain inactive whilst they face purseqution, Torture, humiliation from puppetary regimes sponsered by the west, America in Particular i beleive this is also what islam teach's. However as you quite rightly pointed out by targeting civilians they do nothing but contradict Islam, and it becomes more of a personalised Vendetor against the west, Disbelivers etc etc. For example the North Africans we have been hearing quite alot about recently in the news. Am sure you are quite aware of the 13 yr long civil war in Algeria, its cause and the role france played in it, the fact that its Metro system (underground) was bombed in the late 90's etc etc. These ppl dont do these acts under the banner of islam. its just that the media, and this is crucially important (( Especially in the current context )) will simply label any person of middle eastern or muslim Background, caught in such acts as an islamist, or islamic terrorist?? Islamic Terrorist, surely the term is contradiction in its self for anyone with the slightest knowledge about islam. Now, my question is. How do we the average Muslims deal with such a bizarre and confounding situation? That is indeed the question u asked and they way i see it (perhaps it maybe abit too simplified and crude for your question) is that any of these contiued news reports that you see on the Media, whether it be bbc that 'objective' insttitue of reporting , or the various broadsheets that are printed in this country, well simply ignore them for @ best the seek to highlight muslims as only being Terrorist, backwards, etc etc. Instead Just stick to what you can do, and wha is most efective. Reading the quraan and following the sunnah of our rasulluh (PBUH) as closely as you can, becomw more knowledgable of our deen and what it says about all matter, including this unfolding drama (( because this is not the first time this has happened in history to the muslim Ummah )). As an average muslim we should strive to attening this position so that we become a good exmaple to those disbelievers in this country. So that they might have some chance of seeing through the Misty propaganda that pours from every mediam in this country Thats my peace. Ciao
