Amazing line up of speakers at this year’s Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention in Toronto, Ontario, Canada during the weekend of December 25 to 27, 2009. I wonder if the big names will be at the RIS Retreat which is a week-long program. I went to two of them and highly recommend it.

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.

Muslim Immigration and Reproduction: “The West’s Boogeyman”
LOL @ this:
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.
