Canadians: Go to JOF!

ISNA is the same weekend as JOF but it’s in DC which is much closer for me (and I already planned to go before I knew of JOF), but for all the brothers and sisters in Canada, JOF is in your country, meaning you won’t have to cross the border and face our lovely homeland security check points.


SWAT RELIEF: The Million For 3 Million Fundraising Campaign

SWAT RELIEF: The Million For 3 Million Fundraising Campaign

Toronto Event replaced with Online Fundraising.

Dear readers, May Peace and Blessings from God be with you.

Due to the overwhelming positive response that we’ve received online, from Australia, to California, to the UK, and the UAE, we’ve consulted with our team, and have decided to call off the upcoming relief event at Pearl Banquet Hall in Toronto on Saturday, June 27th. We’re going to aim a little higher.

We want to raise no less than $1 Million for our displaced and desperate brothers and sisters in Swat. We obviously can’t do this without your active support, promotion, involvement, and help.

The process is very simple.

JihadUnspun.com Owner Kidnapped by the Taliban

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – “I am Khadija Abdul Qahaar. I am a convert to Islam. I have been advised to make this video. I am going to be killed at anytime.” So began a chilling video released on Wednesday by Taliban militants who are holding Qahaar, a Canadian woman, hostage somewhere in the tribal areas of Pakistan.

Source: MSNBC, globeandmail.com

It appears the Taliban don’t even appreciate their own supporters.  The founder of JihadUnspun.com, Khadija Abdul Qahar, who is a Canadian convert to Islam was kidnapped by the Taliban and will be headed if the Taliban aren’t paid.  The crazy thing about all of this is that JihadUnspun.com is known for its support of the Taliban and attacking America’s war on Afghanistan.  Even the pro-Taliban supporters are confused now. Some say that Khadija is a CIA agent, other say the Taliban have nothing to do with this.  The reality is, she is in grave danger as this video proves it, unless its one big hoax to get money for the Taliban which is straight up not the way of the Prophet (peace be upon him).  I don’t know of any example where the Muslims during the time of the Prophet (saas) would lie to get money from their enemies.

May Allah (swt) protect her and guide all the Muslims to the Truth.

Missing RIS…

RIS is going on right now. I’m seeing the pictures people have put up and I can only feel sadness in my heart from missing such a beneficial and blessed convention.

Here is the trailer for RIS 2008:

Out of all the conventions I have been to, Reviving the Islamic Spirit is the best convention in North America. Hands down!

I wish I could go, but unfortunately I will not be able to make it.
