Tuesday December 02, 2008
Scores of armed Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank cities of Nablus and Ramallah, on Tuesday, attacked Palestinian-owned houses and properties in the Yetma , Qeblan and Assawiya villages.
Witnesses said that the armed Israeli settlers attacked the Yetma and Qeblan villages, attacking properties and damaging more than 20 cars, as well as many livestock fodders. In the Assawiya village in southern Nablus, the settlers drew anti-Islam slogans on the viollage’s walls. Palestinian witness, Hekmat Abu Ras, told media outlets that the villagers woke up early today to find out that the armed settlers were attacking their village and that anti-Muslim slogans, including insults to the prophet Mohammad, drawn on the village’s mosque.
Abu Ras confirmed that this village has been repeatedly attacked by the armed settlers, as the village is surrounded by three large illegal settlements of Eliei, Rachel and Chilo. In the Ramallah city, villagers of the Senjel and Tarmsiya villages in northern Ramallah, were shocked after observing anti-Islam slogans, written in Hebrew, on the village’s mosque floor and walls. For the past few weeks, assaults by armed Israeli settlers against Palestinian residents in different parts of the occupied West Bank have been intensifying. Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, had earlier stated that such attacks only damage Israel’s image on the International stage.
US stands by refusal to sign cluster bomb ban
Posted by revolution in : News, United States of Losers , 3 commentsAFP
The United States said Tuesday it will refrain this week from signing a treaty in Norway to ban cluster bombs, because the document is too broad and endangers US soldiers.
Some 100 countries will ban the use of such weapons when their delegates sign the Convention on Cluster Munitions on Wednesday in Oslo but major producers like the United States, China and Russia are shunning the pact.
“Although we share the humanitarian concerns of states signing the CCM, we will not be joining them,” the State Department said in a statement when asked for its views on the Oslo gathering.
“The CCM constitutes a ban on most types of cluster munitions; such a general ban on cluster munitions will put the lives of our military men and women, and those of our coalition partners, at risk,” it added.
The treaty, agreed upon in Dublin in May, outlaws the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions that primarily kill civilians.
Dropped from planes or fired from artillery, cluster bombs explode in mid-air to randomly scatter hundreds of bomblets, which can be three inches (eight centimeters) in size.
Many cluster bomblets can fail to explode, often leaving poverty-stricken areas trying to recover from war littered with countless de-facto landmines.
The State Department said the US government has already tried to tackle the problem caused by cluster bombs.
It said Defense Secretary Robert Gates in June signed the Policy on Cluster Munitions and Unintended Harm to Civilians and the government has contributed more than “1.4 billion dollars since 1993 to clean up landmines and all other explosive remnants of war, including unexploded cluster munitions.”
Activists hope that the election of Barack Obama as president may however bring about a change in the US position.
In 2006, Obama voted in the US Senate to ban the use of cluster munitions in heavily populated areas, but in the end the motion was rejected.
Is it permissible to fight alongside the Paki Regime against India?
Posted by revolution in : JihÄd, Knowledge, Pakistan , add a commentSince there is a possibility of war breaking out between India and Pakistan, the question arises: Is it permissible for a Muslim to join the Pakistani Army to fight the Indian Army?
A very nice and detailed answer was provided by one of the Admins of al-Firdaws:
Walikum assalaam,
As for fighting along side with Kafir Pakistani army against Indians, then this is NOT permissible, as the Prophet (saas) said:
Vol 4, Book 52. Fighting For The Cause Of Allah
Hadith 065. (Sahih Bukhari)
Narrated By Abu Musa: A man came to the Prophet and asked, “A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah’s Cause?” The Prophet said, “He who fights that Allah’s Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah’s Cause.”And surely who is led by a Kafir Pakistani army leader, and under the banner of Kuffar, is not fighting for the sake of Allah.. because the fact is: He is fighting for this Kafir regime to remain, and not to establish the Islamic Sharia.
But Ibn Taimiyah mentioned in Al-Fatawa that who fights alongside with Kuffar against Kuffar.. then he will be raised on the day of Judgment according to his intention.
But, is this action considered Kufr?.. the answer is NO.. as long as he is fighting against Kuffar and hates the Kufr of the Pakistani regime.
Will he be considered a martyr if he misunderstood the evidences and thought it is permissible, not because he loves Kufr, but because he sees Pakistan’s regime are more Islamic than Indian?
The answer is yes, insha’Allah.. as long as he seeks the interest of Muslims.. although his procedure is wrong.
I remember in this place one great jurist, when a group of Khawarij waged Jihad against the Murtaddeen in the Islamic West (i.e. Al-Maghrib).. he joined them and fought alongside with them against the Murtaddeen of Al-Qaramitah.
After he came back he was asked: Did you really fight alongside with the Khawarij??.. he said: yes, I fight alongside with the sinners against the disbelievers.
So what can Muslims do in this case?
It is simple.. they can have their OWN group and their OWN banner.. and it will be fine insha’Allah to co-operate with the Paki army without disclosing the secrets of Muslims to them and without joining them.. just like two seperate armies fighting the same enemy.
The Prophet (saas) said: ” You will conduct a truce with the Romans and both you and they will invade a mutual enemy from behind; you will be safe and acquire war possessions. Then, you will make camp by marj dhu tulul. A Roman man will stand up and raise a cross saying, ‘The cross has won victory!’ A man from among the Muslims will stand up and kill him. Then the Romans will break the truce, and the wars will start. They will gather their forces to face you and come in eighty divisions, each division having ten thousand (soldiers).” [Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Ibn Hibban]
Remember when some scholars told the Muslims of Iraq to join the Iraqi army to defend the Muslims or Iraq?.. are you aware of what happened?.. the Iraqi Kuffar generals handed over the Mujahideen to Shia and Americans.. and betrayed them.
Kuffar can never be trusted and can never lead Muslims.
After all, Allah knows best
Mayor Killed for Persecuting Muslim Women
Posted by revolution in : JihÄd, News, ShÄ«shÄn , 1 comment so far
According to KavKaz Center, Ossetian Mujahideen from Jama’at Kata’ib al-Hawl claimed responsibility for the killing of Vladikavkaz mayor Vitaliy Karayev, in a letter received by Kavkaz Center. Karayev was found guilty in persecuting Muslim women for wearing hijab:
“Vitaliy Karayev, an enemy of Allah, was eliminated near his home while he was heading to work. Some time ago, following the explosion in a minibus taxi, he sanctioned persecutions of women in Islamic dress in public places and public transport, and as a result, women were repeatedly subjected to insults and humiliations.
This decision of his was not ignored and he received his retribution, praise be to Allah. The enemy of Allah was executed by Hudhayfah, na’ib of amir of Kata’ib al-Hawl.
Let it serve as a warning to any infidel, be it mayor of a city, a Taghut’s watchdog from secret services or a transport driver, who tries to attack obligations placed on women by Allah the Exalted, or else our responses to you will be quick and definite, insha’Allah. And neither your mansions, nor armored cars, nor packs of dogs whom you call bodyguards, who demonstrated their pitiful and helpless position today, will help you, insha’Allah.”

Shaykh Abu Qatadah sent back to prison
Posted by revolution in : News, Sorrow, True Shuyūkh, UK , add a commentLaa Ilaaha Illallah.
May the curse of Allah be upon the British Government.
The following is reported by BBC:
A radical preacher, who has been dubbed Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe, has been returned to jail after judges agreed he might abscond.
Abu Qatada had been held on a 22-hour home curfew, after winning the latest stage of a battle against deportation.
Judges have agreed with ministers that he might flee - even though there is no evidence of such a plan at present.
The cleric was arrested at his home in London in November. The UK wants to return him to Jordan.Mr Qatada says his conviction there for terrorism offences was unfair.
A panel of judges at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, which acts as the UK’s national security tribunal, heard last month that the 47-year-old Jordanian-Palestinian could be plotting to leave the UK.
One allegation related to a message on an extremist website which was said to call on an unnamed but influential Islamist preacher to join radical Islamist groups overseas.
MI5 intelligence
The Home Office alleged that Mr Qatada had also recorded a video sermon in his home, in breach of a key element of his bail conditions.
Mr Qatada denied these allegations, saying he had no idea about the online messages, while the sermon was in fact a home video in which he could be seen telling his children about a Muslim festival.
Other allegations, based on MI5 intelligence, were heard by the judges in secret and not put to Mr Qatada or released to the public.
The tribunal said the open allegations were not enough to deny the preacher bail - and that the Home Secretary accepted he had not yet breached his tough bail conditions.
The judges noted Mr Qatada and his legal team were looking in good faith for a neutral third country that was willing to take him - but added that was not a realistic prospect.
But revoking his bail, they ruled that material shown to them indicated a significant risk of absconding because of changes in circumstances and therefore they ruled that he should be returned to prison.
This is an unusual ruling for an immigration court and is similar to the position in criminal cases where an alleged serious offender is placed on remand before a trial.
Legal battle
Immigration rules allow someone to be held in prison only as long as a deportation is likely to ultimately take place.
But Mr Qatada was bailed in June after the Court of Appeal ruled he could not be sent to Jordan because his conviction there may have relied upon evidence obtained by torture. Ministers have now taken the case to the Law Lords.
The bail conditions, set in the summer, included wearing an electronic tag, a ban on attending any mosque or leading prayers. He has permission to leave his home twice a day for an hour each time.
He has been banned from using the internet, mobile phones and from meeting a long list of named people, including Osama bin Laden.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said: “I’m pleased the court has agreed that Qatada should have his bail revoked.
“He poses a significant threat to our national security and I am pleased that he will be detained pending his deportation, which I’m working hard to secure.”
Those who try to mess with Muslims will be slaughtered ruthlessly
Posted by revolution in : JihÄd, ShÄ«shÄn, Videos , 18 commentsLet the enemies of Allah know that if they try to fight the Muslims, they will face nothing but the banner of Jihad and slaughter. If the Muslims take one of them captive, they have the option of either letting the prisoner live - and treat him with kindness and with proper manners - or they have the option to kill him.
What do we do about those captured enemies of Allah that kill Muslims and rape our Women?
Here is an example from Chechnya; this took place in 1999. You will witness how the Mujahideen slaughter the Russian cows. In the end, they are nothing but humiliated and Hellfire is their destination.
The Mujahideen in ‘Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere are not afraid of doing the same. So let their enemies beware and avoid fighting the Muslims; honestly, nobody wants to be on the receiving end of the Mujahideen.

Mumbai Attackers “White Foreigners,” “Neatly Dressed” with “Blonde” and “Punkish” Hair December 2, 2008
Posted by revolution in : India, News , 18 commentsFrom The Guardian:
One police officer who encountered the gunmen as they entered the Jewish centre told the Guardian the attackers were “white”, although this could mean they were paler-skinned Indians from the country’s north. (Or it could mean they were actually white, as the police officer himself said. - IL)
“I went into the building late last night,” he said. “I got a shock because they were white. I was expecting them to look like us. They fired three shots. I fired 10 back.
From The BBC
Cafe attack
Not far across town, Judith Rosta, a German teacher from Vienna, had completed a shoot for a music video for two Indian singers and was walking past the market at Colaba, the hip, touristy hub of posh south Mumbai, with her Russian girlfriend, Valentina.
She says she was buying papayas when she noticed three men on a motorcycle stopping on the road and taking out “big guns”.
“They wore white jeans and T-shirts. They were shouting, getting agitated and waved their guns around.
“I dropped my shopping and began walking away towards my hotel. Minutes later, a friend called up saying that there had been a bloody incident of firing in the area,” she says.
Leopold Cafe owner Farzed Jehani: ‘A grenade was thrown in to the restaurant’
Hours after the shooting at the Leopold Cafe, a cult city cafe and a favourite hangout of foreigners and locals alike, the place smelt of stale beer and bleaching powder.
Broken crockery from a market stall lay strewn on the sidewalk. Fresh blood stains on the bullet-pocked wall were mixed with the old betel- leaf spit stains.
Locals say the orgy of killings in Mumbai began here. Three men walked into the cafe, drank beer, settled their bills and walked out. Then they fished out guns from their bags and began firing.
Gaffar Abdul Amir, an Iraqi tourist from Baghdad, says he saw at least two men who started the firing outside the Leopold Cafe.
He was returning to his hotel from the seaside with a friend when he saw two men carrying bags and brandishing AK-47s walking in front of them, shooting.
“They did not look Indian, they looked foreign. One of them, I thought, had blonde hair. The other had a punkish hairstyle. They were neatly dressed,” says Mr Amir.
As the two girls fell near the cafe, he saw the two men quickening their steps towards the Taj Mahal hotel further up the road.
A few minutes later, gunfire was heard from the hotel, and much later, Mr Amir heard that gunmen had taken guests hostage.
Surely these are significant reports? The recounting of multiple attackers as white foreigners and men with blonde and punkish hair should have merit as a significant news story, should it not? One must ask then, why is it being ignored?
Imam Anwar al-Awlaki: Finding a Balance December 1, 2008
Posted by revolution in : JihÄd, Knowledge, True ShuyÅ«kh , 1 comment so farMasha’Allah, the Shaykh reminds me of Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi and his wisdom and balance in the religion. Imam Anwar said on his blog:
Al-Hakim narrates with an authentic chain that Rasulullah was traveling with his companions when a bird came flapping it’s wings over his head. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Who has brought grief to this bird?” One of the companions said: “I have taken some of its young ones.” Rasulullah ordered him to return them to their mother.
Rasulullah was leading an army on a travel for Jihad, the peak of Islam, but he was still teaching the sahabah about an issue as simple as mercy towards a bird.
There are some brothers and sisters who expressed concern when I talked about the opinions of scholars regarding cheese at a time when we have more important issues at hand that are of great concern to the ummah. I would like to take this opportunity to point out an important principle in Islam and that is: Islam is a comprehensive religion that covers all aspects of our life and every Islamic teaching is important. Rasulullah has taught us minute aspects of life that would otherwise seem trivial such as how to eat, growing a beard, and even manners of responding to the call of nature. If these were trivial issues Rasulullah would not have wasted his time teaching us about them, the Sahabah would not have narrated them and our scholars would not have documented them in their books of hadith and fiqh. The topic of cheese is even more important because it relates to what enters our body. It is enough to state that our dua would not be accepted if our food is haraam. So the rulings of diet are very important.
Some of these people who do not recognize the importance of the smaller issues told Salman al Farisi: “We see that your Prophet has taught you everything even about excrements” Salman said: “Yes he did. He taught us not to face qibla when urinating or defecating, not to use our right hands in washing ourselves, not to use less than three stones and not to use dung or bones” (narrated by Muslim and others.) The Messenger of Allah who taught us this was also a head of state and a leader of Jihad.
When one understands the wisdom behind the comprehensiveness of the teachings of Islam nothing is trivial anymore. When we understand that every moment in our lives, every movement, and every act should be for the sake of Allah we appreciate the reason why Rasulullah taught us about everything.
The problem is not in talking about the sunnah in matters that one may assume to be trivial but the problem is when one talks about the beard to the exclusion of Tawhid, wearing the clothes above the ankle to the exclusion of Jihad, or the miswak to the exclusion of wala and bara.
On the other hand, it is even a more serious problem when people occupy themselves with the mustahab ( the recommended) and ignore the major issues, some of which are issues of aqeedah. There are some that escape from the responsibilities that demand sacrifice to the safety of the easy rituals. We need to take Islam as a whole. We should follow Quran and the way of Rasulullah in all matters.
