How Jewish Extremist Converted to Islam


6/20/2005


Tehran, IQNA : June 20, 2005 — Ex Jewish extremist submits to magnificent


glory of Islam and embraces the true religion.


With his tattoo of the Star of David hidden from view, Mohammed Al Mahadi


prays to Allah in his new West Bank home near the radical Jewish settlement


where he spent much of the last decade.


His recent arrival in the Shaab neighbourhood of the flashpoint town of


Hebron is the latest twist in the extraordinary life story of Mahadi, who


was born to Jewish parents 37 years ago in the former Soviet republic of


Azerbaijan.


The man, then known as Mikhail Shirovsky, moved to Israel soon after the


Soviet authorities allowed Jews to emigrate in the 1980s.


After serving in the army as a fitness instructor, he was drawn to Jewish


extremism and decided to move to the hardline settlement of Kiryat Arba in


1995 soon after one of its residents, Baruch Goldstein, shot dead 29 Muslim


worshippers in Hebron’s Tomb of the Patriarchs.


But an unlikely friendship with a Palestinian garage owner led him to first


question his values, then to convert to Islam before marrying a Muslim wife


from his native land. Mahadi said he has been touched by the warmth of the


welcome that he has received from his new neighbours in spite of his


background.


“I was a radical settler and an enemy to them,” he said in an interview at


his new home. “They have treated me like a brother and have offered me all


the help that I need.” After his conversion to Islam and marriage to Sabena,


Mahadi’s life among the Jews of Kiryat Arba became increasingly fraught.


He says that his wife and four children were ostracized and harassed by his


one-time friends.


“I was attacked in the settlers in Kiryat Arba many times. They stoned my


house and wrote grafitti against me, saying I’m a Muslim and had to leave.


“Every time I traveled anywhere, we were harassed because my wife was


wearing a veil.


“I was also often interrogated by the Israel security services, but all that


I care about is that my children continue on the same religious path as me.”


Maadi admits that the man responsible for attracting him to Islam was garage


owner Waleed Zaloum, whose business is located just outside Kiryat Arba. Two


strong-headed men, they used to argue for hours about the merits of their


respective faiths as Zaloum recalls. “From the start I felt there was good


inside this man, even though I was not expecting it from a settler from


Kiryat Arba,” he said.


“The issue became a challenge to me and I told him: ‘Either you convert me


to Judaism or I convert you to Islam’, but after six months of discussions


and meetings it was him who ended up being converted.” Mahadi said he had


been persuaded to renounce Judaism for intellectual reasons. “I discovered


that there were too many contradictions in Judaism and at the same time I


realised that Islam is the religion of truth and wisdom,” he said. “I


converted because I am seeking truth because of religious reasons and not


for any other motive.”


He is unable to shake off all his Jewish heritage. Tattoos of the Star of


David and of a Menorah (a seven-branched Jewish candelabrum) are etched


indelibly on his hands. But Mahadi harbours no doubts and his new faith,


saying that he is not interested in the formation of a secular Palestinian


state. “What I want is an Islamic caliphate in Palestine and, God willing,


Jerusalem will be the capital of this state,” he said.

A WEEK OF MOURNING FOR THE MUSLIMS

Since Thursday's bombings in London the world's media attention has been relentlessly focusing on the tragedy of the 50 or so who lost their lives. News flashes of suspects (who conveniently can't be caught or questioned due to being 'suicide bombers') are constantly followed by analytical reports of 'how could such horrific acts of terror take place in Britain?'


In this same week…..


- the British established state of 'Israel' launched a bombing onslaught on the innocent civilians of Nablus and later Gaza. The slaughter of innocent sons was justified under the pretext of them being 'militants'.


- more than 32 innocent children were burnt alive in a car bombing in Baghdad while rallying around an ice cream van. While 'insurgents' were blamed, the locals know full well that these are common American and British tactics used to justify their continued occupation of Muslim land.


- hundreds of Muslim families and mosques across the globe were assaulted and vandalized by the 'civilized values' of the Kuffar in so called 'revenge attacks'.


- hundreds of Muslims were killed in a train crash in Pakistan due to the lack of funding, organisation and security measures taken by the Pakistani government. Meanwhile Pervez Musharraf was groveling and kneeling to Britain, offering his full support by raiding and terrorizing as many Islamic schools as possible.


- more than a dozen innocent Muslims suffocated in the back of a van in the searing heat of Baghdad after being blindfolded, tied and locked up for 14 hours by American soldiers. There were no charges against them.


- spokesmen from the Kuffar and those smitten by the lure of the West (who supposedly represent the Islamic Ummah and her communities) shamelessly linked the cause of the London bombings as being due to the absence of Kufr Democratic states in both Iraq and Palestine. The insidious agenda of 'give them Palestine, Iraq and democratize the rest of the Muslim world and you will eliminate the tension from the Muslims' is now at the forefront. In fact this tension emanates from the Islamic Aqeedah and is not linked to a democratic Palestine or Iraq but rather the dominance of Kufr and the absence of the Islamic ruling system of which mankind so desperately needs in these times of darkness.


Yaa Muslimeen! The bombings in London are a daily reality in our Muslim lands, planned and manufactured under the dominance and subjugation of the Kuffar and her agents. Indeed the London bombings have aided no one but the Kuffar in further justifying their onslaught on our Islamic Aqeedah. It is this onslaught that we Muslims are facing week upon week. For us Muslims, this certainly has been a week of mourning …..just like very other week under the merciless iron fist of Kufr.

Bismillah


as salam alykom I found this on another board felt it is necessary to share it

salam alaikum:


well i think this is a change from all the accusation made against muslims so far, atrocities and injustice both are key issues in modern history. this is a fact, however not done ONLY by muslims as the media seems fond of presenting. well maybe the muslim radicals did the bombings in london and maybe not.. but this is a reminder that not only muslims are terrorists. Ten years later,the international community still failed to bring to justice criminals of bosnian war. it seems justice is also selective!


May Allah bless the souls of those who were slaughtered, forgive their sins and place them in jennah. ameen


Srebrenica Muslims bury the dead


Tens of thousands of people have been attending ceremonies marking the 10th anniversary of the massacre of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica.


Grieving relatives are burying more than 600 newly identified dead, after prayers and words of support from international and local officials.


About 8,000 men and boys were killed by Serbian forces in 1995, in Europe's worst atrocity since World War II.


Serbian officials led by President Tadic paid respects for the first time.


They killed my entire life and the only thing I want now is to see the guilty ones pay for it


Fatima Budic


Mother and wife of victims


Muslim prayers echoed through the valley of the memorial site at Potocari, the site of the slaughter, as women in white headscarves wept beside the remains of their loved ones.


The green coffins were then passed from hand to hand through the crowd to the freshly dug grave sites, as announcers called out one by one the names of the 610 dead.


'Deeply sorry'


Earlier, UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw apologised on behalf of the international community for not doing enough to prevent what he described as one of the darkest chapters of European history since 1945.


SREBRENICA MASSACRE





"For it is to the shame of the international community that this evil took place under our noses and we did nothing like enough. I bitterly regret this and I am deeply sorry for it," he said.


He said that it was "sickening" that former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his army commander Gen Ratko Mladic, who are accused of the slaughter, had not yet been brought to justice.


Also attending Monday's ceremonies were former US Balkans envoy Richard Holbrooke and the president of the war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Theodor Meron.


But the tribunal's chief prosecutor, Carla del Ponte, boycotted the occasion to protest against the failure to arrest Mr Karadzic and Mr Mladic.


Bosnian police provided security for the event, which took place in the Serb-controlled part of the country, but international peacekeepers and police officers watched from a distance. The attack on Srebrenica was an assault on fundamental human rights

Have Your Say


The attendance by Serbian officials has been condemned by Serbian hardliners but welcomed by the chief international representative in Bosnia, Lord Ashdown.


"The Serb authorities and people are now moving from denial to recognition, and beyond that lies reconciliation," he told the BBC.


Arrests 'imminent'


In Serbia, many still believe the mass killings never took place. But a new video showing the execution of Muslim civilians sparked national soul-searching among Serbs last month.


SREBRENICA INDICTMENTS


Convicted, cases completed - 3 including former Bosnian Serb Army chief of staff Gen Radoslav Krstic


Appeals against convictions - 3


On trial - former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic


Cases at pre-trial stage - 9


Still at large - 3 including Radovan Karadzic and Gen Ratko Mladic


Source: International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia


Dutch peacekeepers who were guarding the Srebrenica enclave at the time of the massacre have accepted partial responsibility for what happened.


Mr Karadzic and Gen Mladic have been indicted for genocide but are still at large.


Serbian President Boris Tadic told the Bosnian Serb newspaper Nezavisne Novine that he hoped Gen Mladic would be arrested in the next few days.


Many of the widows attending the ceremony are still waiting to see justice done, says the BBC's Nick Hawton in Srebrenica.


"They killed my entire life and the only thing I want now is to see the guilty ones pay for it," Fatima Budic, whose 14-year-old son Velija was one of the victims, told AP news agency. Her husband and another son are among the missing.

I think they DO NOT belong together. For thousands of years, religion has bred hatred and wars. Mulims against jews, christians against non christians and of course muslims against non muslim.


It is illogical to have negative feelings against somebody becuase they do not believe what you do. MORAL VALUES are what counts and from morals we construct laws. Theft, murder etc etc are all immoral acts and that is why they are illegal. Not becuase of any link to a particular religion.


Tribe mentality is one of the greatest distasters to befall mankind. They form over religions, over race and even football teams. Witness the thugs that used to be so much in eveidence at English football games.


What is needed in this troubled world is tolerance. And that means muslims tolerating other faiths as well as the other way round. Don't invent terms and names for 'non-believers' simply because they have a different religeon, instead save the names for evil individuals. One cannot simply hate Jews or Arabs or Americans. It makes no sense and is unjust.

Assalam allikum brothers and sisters,


I was wondering if you could help me out. There is a charity called World Vision where you can sponser a child, who is in Africa or an undeveloped country. The money that you give them gives them food, shealter and schooling. But the thing is that it is a Christian organisation and they give out bibles. They have also a missionary where they give bibles out. So I don't want to give to this charity if they are spreading the word of christianty.


Do you know of any Muslim charities I can give to. Dosn't have to be the same as the above. But I rather give charity to a Muslim organisation that would spread Islamic views to people. So I live in Australia, does any one know of any good charities.
