The Terrorists that cried wolf. Palestinians: 'Ethnic cleansing' in Iraq

Quote:In 2006, more than 600 Palestinians were killed in the Iraqi capital in what Palestinian leaders and political activists are describing as a "systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing." Thousands of Palestinian families have been forced to flee Iraq since the downfall of Saddam Hussein, but many still have no place to go to. ...
Until three years ago, the number of Palestinians living in Iraq was estimated at 30,000. Under Saddam, Palestinians enjoyed many privileges that only a few Iraqis were entitled to: free accommodation, free health services and free education. ...


Another Palestinian who fled Iraq and was recently reunited with his family in the northern West Bank described the campaign against the Palestinians in Iraq as "genocide." The Shi'ites, particularly the pro-Iranian Mahdi Army, are waging a war to eliminate the entire Palestinian population in Iraq, he told The Jerusalem Post. "This is a real genocide. Why isn't the international community doing anything to stop this? How come none of the Arab countries has even issued a statement condemning the atrocities?"

Saying Khuda Hafiz and Allah Hafiz

Quote:Salaam everyone
Jus wanted to bring something to attention which i find is a possible danger to some of us muslims who may say "khuda Hafiz" or "Allah Hafiz" before parting with a fellow muslim. I myself use to say Allah Hafiz before til i read this......


<b>Saying Khuda Hafiz and Allah Hafiz:</b>


1) The word Khuda (god) is used in Persian to be a name of a particular idol; they worship even presently in Iran and other places. And when you say Hafiz (protect) with it, you mean May Hafiz (the person idol) protect you.


2) From another angle, at the least if the above is not accepted, (which is the case from some who may argue that..." we don’t know of any Persian idol called Khuda and we take the literal meaning god.....etc, etc..") then it is a bid’ah because:


a) This was not mentioned by the prophet (sallallaahualayhi wasallam) nor the Sahaabah (radiyallaahu anhumaa), they did not do this, nor did the messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) leave us without a saying for greeting/parting. It is authentically reported from many hadeeth, that the messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) told us to say Assalaamu Alaikum wa rahma.....to the end... So why do we see fit to abandon the Sunnah for the bid’ah (innovation). When the Salaf use to say....."no Sunnah is abandoned except a bid’ah appears to replace it...”


b ) Also the prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said that every bid’ah is a leading astray, an every leading astray will lead to the fire. So this hadeeth shows that a bid’ah will start small then end up becoming big (by being A sending astray first - then progressing to put you in the fire...). So now look, those who accepted the explanation in (1) above then changed to saying “Allah Hafiz" when above then changed to saying “Allah Hafiz" which neither is nor shirk in speech, but now an innovation which people will find hard to reject, so by that the bid’ah has become more anchored and thus progressing to put us in the fire.


So plz jus stick to the sunnah brothers and sisters. JazakAllah


hope you are all well n in the best of imaan. Fi amanillah. was'salaam

In the Name of God - Father Son Holy Spirit.


May the peace of Christ be with you all!

subject turned to be about church and one hindulady told oh,sister,we always loved to enter church wen we were young.i just smiled .assuming i too used to go a nun turned to me and asked me u too?i simply answered no.the sister ans was a really a compliment to islam.she directly looked into my eyes and told me" oh you muslims never go tor church."

Hey Brits. It’s time to admit that your society has developed a festering disease that can only get worse. Just when you think that idiocy can’t possibly get any worse, something comes along to push it to never dreamed of heights. Muslim urged to shun 'unholy' vaccines
.

Quote:A MUSLIM doctors’ leader has provoked an outcry by urging British Muslims not to vaccinate their children against diseases such as measles, mumps and rubella because it is “un-Islamic”.
Dr Abdul Majid Katme, head of the Islamic Medical Association, is telling Muslims that almost all vaccines contain products derived from animal and human tissue, which make them “haram”, or unlawful for Muslims to take.


Islam permits only the consumption of halal products, where the animal has had its throat cut and bled to death while God’s name is invoked. [<i>And isn't that just the pinnacle of enlightenment... —ed</i>] ...


His warning has been criticised by the Department of Health and the British Medical Association, who said Katme risked increasing infections ranging from flu and measles to polio and diphtheria in Muslim communities.


Katme, a psychiatrist who has worked in the National Health Service for 15 years, wields influence as the head of one of only two national Islamic medical organisations as well as being a member of the Muslim Council of Britain. Moderate Muslims are concerned at the potential impact because other Islamic doctors will have to confirm vaccines are derived from animal and human products. ...


He argued that leading “Islamically healthy lives” would be enough to ward off illnesses and diseases.


“You see, God created us perfect and with a very strong defence system. If you breast-feed your child for two years — as the Koran says — and you eat Koranic food like olives and black seed, and you do ablution each time you pray, then you will have a strong defence system,” he said.

HAPPY ISLAMIC NEW YEAR & FASTING ON 'ÂSHÛRÂ


The new Islamic year 1428 A.H. started over the weekend.


We hope that this forthcoming year is a fruitful one for all our


readers. Let us make a concerted effort to keep track of Islamic


dates throughout the year and try to make it more a part of our


day-to-day lives. Muharram, the first month, is one of the four


Sacred months that Allah mentions in the Qur'an (9:36). Fasting


on the Day of 'Âshûrâ (10th Muharram) is highly recommended. It


is also encouraged to fast on consecutive days, i.e. the 9th and


10th or 10th and 11th of Muharram.


Finally please find details of our forthcoming Islamic finance course:

Utrujj is based upon the teachings of the above Hadith in


seeking to equip you with the sacred knowledge of Islam,


while simultaneously training you in it's implementation in


your daily lives. As a result of this dynamic approach your

sacred knowledge.


The change this creates will be witnessed by those around you


as they smell the sweet fragrance of your good speech and taste


the sweetness of your exemplary actions. Such a change within
