Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, ended his prayer sermon in tears on Friday, invoking the name of a disappeared Shiite prophet to suggest that his government was besieged by forces of evil out to destroy a legitimate Islamic government.
The opposition leader, Mir Hussein Moussavi, in criticizing the government, demanded the kind of justice promised by the Koran and exhorted his followers to take to their rooftops at night to cry out, “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great.”
It’s extremely funny and also sad that the news media in America and in general Americans are supporting the Iranian protestors and being pro-Mousavi. Even the conseratives are on the side of the protestors. What they all fail to realize is that Mousavi and the rest of the protesters do not like the American Government (especially it’s foriegn policy) the same way Ahmadinejad does. They also don’t understand that both sides still want to follow Islam and want to establish their version of the “Islamic State”.
Basically America doesn’t like Ahmadinejad so they’ll support anyone who doesn’t like him. They did this in the past with allying themselves with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and that backfired. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people think Obama should go in to Iran and help them out. So far Obama hasn’t said much, which is good. I hope he understands that America needs to stay quiet and don’t stick their nose where it doesn’t belong.
The Facebook and Twitter support is nice but I really wonder if all those young Americans know what they are supporting when they share or “tweet” it.

One thing I learned over the years of blogging and posting on forums is that there are always going to be haters. There is not a single thing anyone can do to please everyone. Why do we even have to please everyone? We have to please Allah and that’s it. By pleasing Allah we’ll be pleasing all those who matter to us the most (parents, spouse, family, friends, etc.). So why bother with the haters?

Illegal Arms trade and Drug/Human Trafficking
Where do the Muslims get weapons?
The non-Muslims.
Arms dealers in Russia, China, Europe and America love to sell weapons to rich Muslims who then funnel it to other groups who then trade it to other groups and so on until it gets into the hand of a soldier who begins firing it at either a “deviant” Muslims and/or the opposing foreign forces in their country. In other words the only winners are the illegal arms dealers around the world who are making money off the blood of Muslims (mostly). This is why I strongly oppose groups who deal with arms dealers who help fund their illegal business that usually include arms dealing, drug dealing and human trafficking (sex slaves of young girls).

The injustice and atrocities in the Muslim world and around the world in general have been on the ummah’s mind since I ever started reading the news in my teens. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict existed before I was born and continues up to this second as I type this. I doubt anything will change anytime soon. I’ve been to protests, wrote letters, blog about it, submitted articles, argued, cried and reacted emotionally to every injustice the Muslim world has faced from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon, Chechnya, Bosnia and all the other areas I have missed. Many of these wars are still going on and being fought even after the thousands of people marched in every major city in the world. Even after all the letters written to governments who possess the ability to establish justice. Even after all the articles written and all the forum threads that get closed. The injustice and state sponsored terrorism continues. The blood of innocent human beings continue to flow.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This post was lost due to my former-host’s server crash. I recovered the content, but not the comments.
For almost two and half years I have not taken a class with the AlMaghrib Institute. When I stopped it was during the controversy which I will not mention nor will I link to it since it’s not worth it.
Beyond that incident and up until the 2008 ISNA convention, I personally had felt a grudge and animosity towards AlMaghrib (even after the Pledge of Mutual Respect and Cooperation). I didn’t have anything against the teachers nor the students (after all the students were my family by blood and by brotherhood), but it was against the idea and way of AlMaghrib. It was pure ignorance and stupidity. May Allah (swt) forgive me for the hardness of my heart. I guess you could say I was jealous, because there wasn’t an alternative choice that was similar in the method but pleasing to my opinions.
