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.

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.


I want 1,000 people to make a simple commitment:
1. Donate at least $20
2. Find 20 others to do the same.
3. Have them find only 2 others to donate the same amount. (keep track of your lists!)

Think family, colleagues, annoying siblings, cousins, classmates, teachers, Imams, friends, rich uncles, rich aunties, your local MSA, Jum’ah collections, sunday Church services collections, halaqas, book clubs, zikr gatherings, Canada Day celebrations … everyone.

When we do this, and do it right, we’ll be at $800K by the end of the process. I will solicit the donations of some major donors to cover the remaining balance, God Willing. But we need to demonstrate some serious grassroots willingness towards this end, to encourage big donors to follow through.

(Our partner in getting these funds to the needy in Swat, is Edhi Foundation’s Canadian chapter. Their long-standing track record of non-sectarian, non-partisan, and transparent relief work across Pakistan, along with their integrity and credibility makes them an obvious choice.)

The deadline for this, is the 1st of Ramadan – Saturday August 22nd, 2009. (To our Muslim readers – Imagine entering Ramadan by giving $1 Million in charity!)

I invite you to step up to the challenge. When you do, all such challenges are easily surmountable, God willing.

We will be migrating our online fund collection mechanism from Eventbrite to a service provider that is not event-based. I will update you all on that shortly. For now, your donations can still be received at http://swatrelief.eventbrite.com. We encourage you to keep the donations online, as this will help us keep transparent records of all transfers and transactions.

Thank you all for your support, and I look forward to more of it.

Peace

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.
