A quarter of the homeless people in America are war veterans. In other words out of every 4 homeless person, 1 of them has fought for America in the Vietnam War, Afghanistan War or Iraq war. This is how the American government treats the “defenders of Democracy” and the “liberators”. Read the full news article here:
Out of uniform and on the street
Study finds that veterans constitute a quarter of America’s homeless
WASHINGTON – Veterans make up one in four homeless people in the United States, though they are only 11 percent of the general adult population, according to a report to be released Thursday.

Did you know that by law the US gurantees Isreal’s oil supply, even if it cuases a DOMESTIC SHORTAGE?
Under a 1975 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) the USA guaranteed all Israel’s oil needs in the event of a crisis. This Memorandum of Understanding is quietly renewed every five years. It commits U.S. taxpayers to maintain a strategic U.S. reserve for Israel, equivalent to $3 billion in 2002 dollars. Special legislation was enacted to exempt Israel from restrictions on oil exports from the USA. Moreover, the U.S. government agreed to divert oil from the USA, even if this causes domestic shortages. The U.S. government also guaranteed delivery of oil in U.S. tankers if commercial shippers become unable or unwilling to carry oil from the USA to Israel.

This is ridiculous. I am totally against this. What kind of backward culture is this? This is haram!

May God end the fires in California and cool the lands.
Bush declares this a major disaster. The damage has exceeded over $1 billion. Almost 1 million people were forced out of their homes.
If you are from California and/or you know someone who is directly affected by this, please post a comment. Tell us what’s going on and what can we do to help, God willing.
Updates:
- Islamic Center of San Diego is offering food and shelter. More info here.
- Shaykh Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf of Islamic Center of Santa Barbara said the community there has not been affected but to make dua for everyone.
- ICNA Relief has more info of local Muslim communities and Islamic centers/mosques offering food and shelter to everyone. More info here.
Shaykh Faraz posted a link to a New York Times article talking about how pastors and priests in America are using Halo, a popular video game for X Box and X Box 360, to attract young people to come to church. For those who don’t know what Halo is: basically you have guns and you kill people (the enemy). You snipe people in the hed, leg, hand, butt, or wherever you can aim. You spray them with 100s of bullets until they die. You throw grenades at them or stick them with sticky grenades. You blow there bodies up into pieces with a rocket launcher. And my personal favorite you slice them with a sword. Yes this game is graphic and violent. It’s rated M for mature audience only.
The New York Times article titled it: “Thou Shalt Not Kill, Except in a Popular Video Game at Church“.
If we were to have a Halo night at a masjid or MSA, the news headline would probably be along the lines of “Young Muslim men train for Jihad using violent video game at Mosque“.
I feel like having a Halo night at our MSA for Eid. Anyone down? Anyone have Halo 3 and X Box 360 they can bring?

I have often stated that anti-Muslim bigots are ALSO anti-black. The following two posts from the same source further prove my point
This post is anti Muslim and calls for the complete banning Islam in the US (ala Dave Gaubatz), then the very next post you see this anti-black racist drivel. The crime they describe is heinous for sure, but they try to pin it on the fact that blacks are “on the left side of the bell curve” (READ: inherently less intelligent and inferior)
Part of their thesis is the blacks in jail accept Islam because they are “physically powerful, mentally deficient, and morally depraved”. In other words, they accept Islam because they are not intelligent. This is part of the thesis by white supremacist/anti-Muslim groups such as SANE (Society of Americans for National Existence). Do you see how this is not only a shot at blacks, but on Islam itself?
One of the things that need to be pointed out regularly to non-Muslims is that these people not only are LIARS but racists who mean no good to anyone other than themselves.

Like Preacher Moss once said, “I’m Muslim and Black! I get two tickets!” (or something like that).
Things are really getting out of hand in Iraq. The US Army may now be supporting there enemies who are fighting Al-Qaeda. It’s like a three-way war now. Apparently, Al-Qaeda are going after the Muslim scholars in Iraq. SubhanAllah! May Allah (swt) protect the innocent.

America’s economy officially sucks. According to Yahoo, $1 US dollar is equal to $1.03 Canadian currency. I wouldn’t be surprised if it drops below $1.00.
Have fun Canadians. You can now shop in the US and save lots of money.
I think I’m going to invest in a Tim Hortons franchise in New York.

I wrote a whole post about this, but my mother told me to take it down, but I feel that this needs to be out there more. Why? Dua! We need to pray for these people. We need to get up at night and the early morning hours before fajr and pray! Wallahi brothers and sisters, I am serious. I want every single person who reads this to pray 2 rakat nafl and make dua any night that you are free and when you are in sijdah, make dua for these sisters, mothers, and daughters!
