Obama Osama - Some Americans are Ignorant

obama-osama-church-sign.jpg

Pastor Roger Byrd of Jonesville Church of God put the sign up which reads “Obama Osama humm are they brothers?”

Pastor Byrd says the sign is not meant to be racial or political but rather to make people think.  “His name is so close to Osama I have a feeling he might be Islamic therefore he doesn’t recognize Christ,” Pastor Byrd said.

This pastor needs to realize that Jesus (peace be upon him) is highly respected in Islam and Obama is clearly not a Muslim.  He also needs to realize that Christian Arabs use Allah for God, because Allah is just Arabic for God.

It is clear.  Very clear. Open your eyes.

May God bring peace and stability to all the innocent people.  May God deliver justice to the oppressors.  Ameen!


nojoud-muhammed-nasser.jpgThe story is really sad but the outcome is really good. The father and husband were both jailed, alhamdulillah. Basically to sum up what happened to this young Muslim girl. She was forced into a marriage with a 30-year-old man. She was not treated well, so she ran away and went to the court and spoke to Muhammed Al-Qathi, the court judge and he heard her out, although it was never heard of. May Allah (swt) bless Muhamamd Al-Qathi for following Islam and promoting the good and forbidding the evil. May Allah (swt) protect this young sister and all other young Muslim sisters around the world who are forced into these situations. Ameen!

The Hunger Strike of Sami al-Arian

Dr. Al-Arian Begins Hunger Strike

ALEXANDRIA, VA.– On Monday, March 3, 2008, Dr. Sami Al-Arian began a hunger strike for justice to protest continued government harassment. Earlier in the day, Dr. Al-Arian was informed that he would be called to testify before a third grand jury in Virginia, only weeks before his scheduled release date. Under his plea agreement, Dr. Al-Arian should have been released last April at the latest. However, because he has not testified, his sentence was suspended as he served one year on civil contempt. Dr. Al-Arian’s current release date is April 7, but it will likely be pushed back indefinitely when he is called before a grand jury sometime in the coming weeks.

Dr. Al-Arian’s attorneys argue that forcing him to testify is a clear violation of the plea agreement he reached with the government in the spring of 2006. Further, Dr. Al-Arian has been advised that the grand jury subpoena is a ploy by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg to ensnare him in a perjury trap, as he has done to at least one another Muslim defendant.

The idea that Dr. Al-Arian could avoid a perjury charge by simply testifying truthfully is “naïve,” his attorney Jonathan Turley told the Tampa Tribune. “If the government wants to charge your client with perjury, it is almost certain to be able to do so by asking enough questions over the course of the proceeding.”

This is the third hunger strike undertaken by Dr. Al-Arian, who is diabetic, during his five year incarceration. After his arrest on February 20, 2003, he went on a 140-day liquid only hunger strike to protest the government’s political persecution. During that time, he was hospitalized and lost 45 pounds. On January 22, 2007, Dr. Al-Arian was held in civil contempt for not testifying before a grand jury. He went on a 60-day water-only hunger strike in which he lost 55 pounds, was hospitalized and confined to a wheelchair.

“The mistreatment of Dr. Al-Arian is part of the overall oppression of the Palestinian people. This is cruel punishment,” said Agha Saeed, chair of the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections (AMT). “The government is playing a cat and mouse game with him. They did not decide to do this until the last minute, just as he’s about to be released. This amounts to psychological torture.”

With only one month remaining until Dr. Al-Arian’s scheduled release, the government is threatening to keep him imprisoned for many years, through its continuous abuse of the grand jury system. Furthermore, as Dr. Al-Arian embarks on yet another hunger strike, the government must either release him as promised or be responsible for his life.

Also injured was Unnum Rahman, 19, of Plainfield who suffered gunshot wounds to her right eye and arm. She underwent surgery Thursday night at Advocate Good Samaritan and was in serious condition Friday morning.

Rahman was able to speak to her father before she was transferred to Good Samaritan.

“She’s in good spirits, she’s talking. She’s a little in pain because of that, but doctors are taking care of her,” said Wasif Rahman. “She’s one of the lucky ones; I heard there were other people that were fatalities, and my heart goes out to the rest of the families.”

May Allah (swt) give her a speedy recovery and give patience to her family. May Allah (swt) help all the victims families of this tragedy.

Our Children in Iraq

Take your time and scroll down through these images of our young Muslim brother and sisters in Iraq. Reflect on them and realize that with all the short comings and depressing moments we have living in our warm homes are nothing to what is happening to these young children in Iraq and around the world. Make dua the night you read this. Make dua during the early morning hours. May Allah (swt) protect the innocent and provide justice for them all around the world. Ameen!

Civil War in Pakistan?!?

According to the BBC news, hundreds of militants invaded and captured a Pakistani fort. They killed and captured the Pakistani soldiers and some may have escaped or been set free. I wouldn’t be surprise if America started to aid Pakistan like they aid to Israel. This is worse though. It’s Muslim on Muslim violence. Ever since the creation of Pakistan the whole country has been unstable.  It was better when the whole region was one country, in my opinion.  Here is the article:

Militants overrun Pakistan fort

Hundreds of militants have overrun a paramilitary fort in north-west Pakistan, killing or kidnapping many troops, the military says.

At least eight soldiers died in the raid and 15 escaped, the army says. The whereabouts of another 25 are unknown. Some reports put the death toll higher.

South Waziristan is a known stronghold of pro-Taleban and al-Qaeda militants.
