British MP warns that some Muslim children at primary school are dangerous fanatics

On 8/10/2008 Britain's Schools Secretary suggested some primary school pupils were already displaying "early warning signs" of extremist attitudes. He called on teachers to challenge pupils sympathizing with terrorists. Guidance published by the Department for Children, Schools and Families outlined a series of recent examples of schoolchildren being confronted by extremist groups. Speaking as it was launched at a school in north London, Mr Balls said: "Violent extremism influenced by Al-Qaeda currently poses the greatest security threat but other forms of extremism and hate- or race-based prejudice are also affecting our communities and causing alienation and disaffection amongst young people...Our goal must be to empower our young people to come together to expose violent extremists and reject cruelty and violence in whatever form it takes." British Officials also narrated how one primary age pupil started talking in a playground about "the duty of all true Muslims to prepare for jihad war as we grow up", as well as referring to the "7/7 martyrs" with admiration. After having lost the intellectual battle with Muslim adults and teenagers the British government is now turning its attention to brainwashing Muslim children below the age of 11. Soon this will prove to be futile and they will be forced to discuss with Muslim babies.

Canadian Masjid to recruit Muslims to fight in the army

On Wednesday, October 8, The Vancouver Sun reported that a Canadian masjid was hosting a military recruitment session that aims at drawing more Muslims into army ranks to join the fight in places like Afghanistan. Speaking to the newspaper, Imaad Ali, youth director at Al-Salaam Mosque said,"Our community takes great pride in our country". The newspaper further stated that several members of the Armed Forces would be at the mosque to discuss career opportunities and answer questions from the community. They would try to highlight the army's Muslim-friendly accommodations, including halal meals and Muslim chaplains. Among those answering questions would be a senior Muslim naval officer who wears a specially-designed hijab. She would explain the rules regarding the uniforms of Muslim women in the military. It is a great shame that Muslims are using the Masjid to promote munkar and divide Muslims. Allah says:

وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَكُفْرًا وَتَفْرِيقًا بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِرْصَادًا لِمَنْ حَارَبَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۚ وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ إِنْ أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا الْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ

"And those (hypocrites) who built a mosque to cause harm, and due to disbelief, and in order to cause divisions among the Muslims, and to await the one who is at the outset an opponent of Allah and His Noble Messenger; and they will surely swear that "We wished only good"; and Allah is witness that they are indeed liars." [TMQ At-Tawba: 107]

Muslim's massacred in India's Assam region

On 9/10/2008 the economist magazine reported that Muslims in India's Assam region were massacred by Hindus. From October 3rd to 7th, members of Assam's largest tribe, the Boro fought bitterly with local Muslims, before troops and paramilitaries sent by the central government quelled the violence. By then, 53 people had died, 25 of them shot by the police, and 150,000 people had sought shelter in camps. The economist speculated that the motive behind the attacks was to subdue Indian Muslims who were willing to fight back. The episode is further proof that Indian's coveted secularism has failed to provide peace and security to Indians 200 million plus Muslims. Indian Muslims must take it upon themselves to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate", so that can provide peace and security for Muslims as well as Hindus, Christians and Bhuddists.

Pakistani government wants Muslims to adopt America's war against Islam

Lately, the Pakistani government has embarked on a relentless campaign to convince the Pakistani nation that they should support America's war against Islam. The campaign uses posters, songs, current affair programmes as means of conveying this message. The message of supporting America's war against Islam is disguised as war against the terrorist and militants. But the message is falling on deaf ears and rulers are repeatedly wondering why? This is because every sane Pakistani knows that before America's occupation of Afghanistan, the tribal areas, Swat and the cities of Pakistan never witnessed such violence. Why the rulers cannot fathom this fact belittles their credentials to rule, and renders them unfit to lead.

9/10/2008

Chief Coordinator and Official Spokesman of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh Mohiuddin Ahmed in a press release issued today expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah (SWT) after the release of ten members and activists of the party from Rajshahi Central Jail. At the same time, he demanded the release of five members and activists in Chittagong who were arrested for performing political activities for the release of those arrested in Rajshahi.

Britain's Conservative party unveils totalitarian measures to assimilate Muslims

Speaking at the start of Party Conference in Birmingham, David Cameron's security adviser Dame Pauline Neville-Jones said her party has "plans to force Muslims to integrate into British Society." In a deliberately populist tone, she said her party would ban Muslim groups even if they are not involved in violence or promoting violence and solely engage in political activities which are widely accepted from other communities. She also made threats against Islamic charities and announced that her party would ban sharia courts from operating in the UK, though earlier this year the Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips has welcomed some sort of sharia based arbitration for settling disputes. Dame Pauline Neville-Jones remarks are not reminiscent of Europe's dark ages, when Christians, Jews and Muslims were persecuted because of their religious beliefs. Rather, her statements are a bleak reminder that Europe is still embroiled in the dark ages; only 60 years ago Jews were persecuted in a callous fashion, and now the Muslims of Europe have become the target of secular fundamentalists.

A third of Austrians vote for a far right anti-Islamic party

On 28/3/2008 Strache led his Freedom party to 18% of the vote in Austria's general election. Strache former boss Jörg Haider, steered his breakaway far-right Movement for Austria's Future to 11% of the vote. The results indicate almost one in three Austrians who voted opted for the extreme right. Strache views against Islam are abhorrent and well documented. Islam, he says, is "the fascism of the 21st century". He wants a ministry for the deportation of immigrants; says "Vienna must not become Istanbul"; hopes to repeal laws banning Nazi revivalism, and is pushing for a constitutional ban on the building of minarets.

Europe's terror chief attacks his counterparts for being soft on Islam

Europe's anti-terror chief launched a stinging attack on Europe's political correctness and considers it hampering the campaign against militant Islam. Gilles de Kerchove, the EU counter-terrorism coordinator, said last week: "One of the problems ... is that some member states are extremely reluctant to be explicit about the link with religion...'Religion has been hijacked and distorted for political ends." De Kerchove's statement comes against a background of infighting within the EU over counter-terrorism policy. The European Commission has been working for several years on a paper analyzing militancy in Europe and outlining policy to combat radicalization. The Council of Ministers is still waiting for the now long-overdue paper, on which future policy will be based. De Kerchove praised Britain's efforts on countering the extremists' message through the media. Allah says:"Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse" [Al-Imran: 118]

Muslims in India denied justice by the judicial system

Recently, a new trend has emerged in the judicial circles of India, where Muslims accused of terrorism are denied due-process. Indian Bar Associations in several parts of the country are effectively banning advocates from defending Muslim youth, in a report published on the website Two Circles.net. The report cited the Bar Association in Dhar, a small town in Madhya Pradesh as taking the law into its own hands. It declared that no local lawyer could defend the ‘terror-accused', all of which are Muslims . Yet, no action has been taken against this patently illegal declaration, said Advocate Noor Muhammad, who was physically assaulted by lawyers in Dhar. The lawyers were seeking to prevent him for taking up the case of a Muslim who he said had been wrongly accused of running a terrorist-training camp near Dhar, the report quoted. The incident is just a tip of the ice-berg and demonstrates how Hindus officially discriminate against Muslims in the name of Hinduvta- a Hindu Nationalistic belief that espouses the purification of India from non-Hindus influence.

End of Ramadan brings no respite for China's Muslims

For Muslims, Ramadan is a time of fasting and prayer. But for China's Muslim ethnic Uighurs, the holy month is also full of fear and seething resentment about increasingly tight restrictions on how they practice their Islam. Overseas Uighur rights groups have accused the Chinese government of mass arrests, which officials deny. Uighurs interviewed by The Associated Press in Kuqa and Kashgar complained of sweeping detentions and other draconian measures enforced by the state. Several local governments have posted lists of warnings on their Web sites, including a detailed one by the township of Yingmaili in Xayar County, near Kuqa. Government employees, teachers and students can't fast during Ramadan. Mosques can't host out-of-town visitors or play video and sound recordings. Proselytizing in public is prohibited. Surveillance of mosques must be increased. Restaurants must stay open during the daylight fasting period."All effective means must be used to make sure that men shave their beards and that women remove veils that cover their faces," adds the notice. A slogan painted on a wall in the area warns Muslims it is illegal to make the annual pilgrimage to Mecca except with a government-sanctioned tour group. The West likes to make a big issue of China's Tibetan monks and wants China to endorse freedom of religion for them. But for China's repressed Muslims no such demands are made, and it is vividly clear that all major powers have declared an open war on Muslims and Islam.

It has been announced today the Asif Ali Zardari will take of oath of office today as President of Pakistan. Does this imply that Zardari is even keener top serve the US interests than Prime Minister Gilani?  What is the truth behind the quartet summit in Damascus?
