WHO BOMBED LONDON.

Thursday's bombings within the city of London were immediately labelled by Tony Blair as 'terrorist acts carried out in the name of Islam' . Such a rash supposition is not only superficial but also misleading in assessing the true identity of the culprits. In actuality there are only two plausible entities likely to have planned and executed the bombings. They are either The United States of America, or indeed an Islamic militant group linked to Al - Qaida.


1) The possibility of the U.S. being behind this action is linked to the recent escalation and strengthening of Britain within the international situation. With Britain being recently given the EU presidency, the role of hosting the current G8 summit was another opportunity for Tony Blair to solidify his position and Britain's as the leading European nation. The media frenzy prior to the G8 summit had portrayed Blair as the host who would act on behalf of the other G8 leaders in pressuring the U.S. to finally accept the Kyoto treaty. Coupled with the farcical Live 8 pop concerts, the buoyancy of the successful Olympic bid and Gordon Brown's popular debt elimination plan, Blair was experiencing a media and public support he hadn't received since the heyday of his leadership. Even days prior to the G8 summit, Blair seemed unyielding towards America as he persistently commented on how as G8 president Britain would lead the way into convincing George Bush to accept the terms of the Kyoto treaty, fairer trade and increased aid to Africa. It was evident that George Bush would have to play second fiddle to Tony Blair and Britain during the G8 summit .


It is a fact that Bush had no intention of conforming to European media pressure or Britain's will with the following comment made in Denmark the day before, 'Kyoto didn't work for the United States and it frankly, didn't work for the world'. Furthermore Bush outlined his proposal for the G8 summit by stating the U.S. had spent over $20bn in research and development for alternative fuels to crude oil. As U.S. official Faryar Shirzad stated, 'their (Europe) approach has largely been driven by working through the Kyoto protocol; ours has been one based on trying to advance the science and technology in this area'. This falls in line with the U.S. policy to cripple Europe within the Gulf via the high oil prices as explained in the comment 'Oil Prices - U.S.-Euro Conflict but the Ummah Pay for It'.


As the bombings took place a clearly shaken and distraught Tony Blair came forward to make his statement. Clearly unprepared and stuttering, Blair was unable to hide his anguish at the decision made by the other G8 leaders when he commented, 'the G8 leaders have agreed to continue the summit in my absence'. Such a comment was unnecessary considering the national crisis but also highlighted the humiliation Blair felt from the G8 leaders who had decided not to postpone while their host briefly visited London. Such a decision was obviously led by the United States. It was also a clear indication of the possible hindrance America felt by Blair's presence and also worked to emphasize to their counterparts his total insignificance. In fact the humiliation was deepened as the bombings worked to America's advantage further by conveniently ousting the British Prime Minister from the negotiations while allowing Bush to almost immediately give a far more confident, impressive (and better prepared) press conference in Gleneagles about his agenda regarding the 'War on Terrorism'.


Even as this was occurring conflicting reports were emerging from the U.S. and British media regarding the death toll. Within hours the American press had quoted victims above the 40 region while the British press had commented that less than a dozen had been killed. The British press confirmed a few days later that the number had exceeded 40. Somehow the U.S. knew the nature and potential damage of such bombings better than their British counterparts who were at the scene.. Furthermore U.S. officials clamed that the devices were detonated by timers while the British were contemplating the possibility of suicide bombers. A few days later the British also confirmed the high possibility of timers being used as detonators.


By the time Blair had returned to Gleneagles and the G8 summit had concluded, America had recorded a categorical victory. On the issue of Global warming the G8 issued a statement which mirrored that of America's only days prior and had almost omitted any mention of the Kyoto treaty. Stated the G8, 'uncertainties remain in our understanding of climate science…'. With regards to African aid, America had avoided writing any precise figures within the G8 declaration (as it had desired) instead 'agreeing' that the G8 and 'other donors' would increase aid by $25bn. Incredibly the U.S. had not only completely bypassed the proposed aid target of 0.7% of GDP, of which they were strongly against, they had even managed for it to be deleted from the declaration.


Somehow by arriving at the G8 summit under international pressure and scrutiny to conform to the European demands, the U.S. had left the summit further imposing its hegemony and having her arrogant demands met. Also the world was once again reminded of the threat of terrorism - the excuse for America's imperialistic foreign policy. Additionally the Europeans, specifically the British, who had generally been against the War on Iraq, will now have a venomous fervor to take revenge on the 'people who possess an ideology of murder' as Bush so often states.


2) As for the second possibility - It was just a group of Islamic fundamentalists who bombed the largely Muslim areas of Aldgate and Edgware Road, while simultaneously removing any serious media attention from the ongoing calamities within the Middle East and consequently aiding America's bloodthirsty War on Islam…..

I was going to go uni today jst to find out that the station was closed that was abt 9.30 but it was a good thing it was cause after that were like abt 5 bombs or sumthing


I wonder who is to blame for all of this. The news say a group called secret organication of jihad (something like that) connected to al qeida has said on sum islamic website that they r responsible.


I hope there are no more bomb here. Jst got to see wot happens.

The group of Al-Qaeda's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, threatened to kill Egypt's abducted top envoy, while a US senator called on the Iraqi parliament to make clear US forces have been invited to remain in the country.


In the latest violence, 13 people were killed in two almost simultaneous car bomb attacks in the town of Mashruh, some 60 kilometres (37 miles) south of the Iraqi capital, police said.


According to a message posted on the Internet, "the Islamic court of the Al-Qaeda Organization in the Land of Two Rivers has decided to refer the ambassador of the state of Egypt, an ally of the Jews and the Christians, to the mujahedeens so that they can execute him".


Ambassador-designate Ihab al-Sharif, 51, was kidnapped late Saturday when he stopped at a shop on a Baghdad street, in the first abduction of a head of mission since the spate of foreign hostage-takings began.


"This ambassador did not come with a message to the struggling Muslim community, but in order to help consolidate the Crusader state," said Zarqawi's group in the statement which could not be authenticated.


"These embassies (in Iraq) are control towers to catch the mujahedeen ... and there are none meaner and more harmful than the Egyptian intelligence officers in the Abu Ghraib and Bucca jails and the Baghdad International Airport detention cells."


Zarqawi's group earlier Wednesday posted on an Islamist website photos of the diplomat's identification cards.


The Jordanian-born militant, who has a 25-million-dollar US price on his head, has claimed responsibility for a large number of the attacks, kidnappings and murders in Iraq since the US-led invasion overthrew Saddam Hussein two years ago.


Meanwhile, visiting US Democrat Senator Carl Levin, ranking member of the armed services committee, Wednesday called on the parliament to make it clear US forces remain in the country only temporarily and at Iraq's own invitation.


"The attack upon us by the insurgents as being an occupying power is the kind of propaganda attack that is damaging to us and that plays into the hands and strengthen the insurgents," Levin said at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari.


"We very much would like to see the assembly (parliament) adopt a resolution that makes it clear that a sovereign state, Iraq, has invited and welcomes the people who are here with the coalition hopefully for a limited time, and clearly for a limited time, although we dont know the date of departure but nonetheless that we are not occupiers but that we are here as allies."


Speaking earlier following a meeting with President Jalal Talabani, Levin also called for a comprehensive plan to hand over more responsibilities to Iraqi forces while reducing the US military presence.


Levin, whose party is in opposition to US President George Bush's Republican party, said the plan should demonstrate how US forces will gradually be stood down as Iraq's newly-trained forces take over.


Bush has refused to set a timetable for the withdrawal of America's estimated 140,000 troops amid mounting casualties and declining public support for the US mission in Iraq.


Jaafari has backed Bush's position despite mounting calls for a timetable from both members of his own Shiite community and Sunni Arabs, who are blamed for fueling the insurgency.


Iran also cautioned Jaafari's Shiite-dominated government Wednesday not to allow foreign troops to consolidate their presence in Iraq and build long-term bases because this would serve Israel's interests


"The Iraqi government and people should not allow foreign powers to consolidate their presence in the region and thereby reinforce the security of the Zionist regime," Iran's Defense Minister Admiral Ali Shamkani, during a meeting with his visiting Iraqi counterpart, Saadun al-Dulaimi.


Dulaimi headed a delegation that arrived in Tehran Tuesday for a three-day visit, the first by the Iraqi military since the fall of Saddam Hussein in April 2003.


Meanwhile, in a reminder of the challenges facing Iraqi forces, two policemen and a member of a crack commando unit were killed and 10 others wounded in separate attacks in Baghdad, security sources said.


A commander in the Badr militia, the armed wing of the main Shiite grouping in Iraq, was gunned down in the capital, hospital and security sources said.


An Internet-posted message attributed to Zarqawi announced the formation of the Omar Brigade to kill members of the Badr militia.


Many Sunni Arabs accuse Badr of killing their clerics and former members of Saddam's security apparatus, allegedly in line with a hit list compiled by the Iranian-trained militia.


Meanwhile, Iraq's interior minister warned foreign diplomats against making contact with insurgent groups.


"We have some information that some ambassadors are meeting terrorists and they bear the responsibility for that," Bayan Solagh told reporters.


Pakistan transferred its ambassador Yunis Khan to Jordan after an attempt on his life Tuesday. An embassy official insisted the measure was temporary.


In a separate incident, Bahraini charge d'affaires Hassan al-Ansari was wounded in a kidnap attempt Tuesday.

G8 & LIVE 8 – THE DOLLAR'S BIG CON


4/7/05


by Abu Sulayman

As exposed by the Voice of Ummah in the article 'Oil Prices – U.S.-Euro Conflict but the Ummah Pay for It' the high crude oil price is serving several of America's machinations within the Middle East. Consequently the high oil price has resulted in the dollar being severely weakened but this too is being utilized to benefit the United States' plans to further their tyrannical stranglehold over the rest of mankind. While the weak dollar will inevitably be strengthened in the future due to its negative impact on the US economy in the long term, the U.S. however, is content to sustain its current dollar level due to the benefits being received in the short term. These benefits are as follows:


1) Reducing America's import deficits


The weak Dollar has naturally lifted America's export income and in turn created competitiveness for many of its imports. In addition the majority of this trade is occurring with the developing nations such as China, India, and Asia's Newly Industrialized Countries (NIC’s) Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea. While China fixes its currency to the dollar's level, other Asian countries on the other hand actively manage their own exchange rates, thus the dollar is only down 11% against a wider range of currencies. This consequently provides little if any increase on America's import prices. So in actuality trade with the aforementioned economies and the devalued dollar has conveniently provided a reduction in America's import deficits.


2) Increase in U.S. exports to developing nations


Additionally while the U.S. has witnessed its exports to Canada, Mexico, the E.U. and Japan gradually increase; it is in fact the developing economies' demand for American goods which is soaring. American exports to China, the four Asian NICs and Eastern Europe have seen a dramatic rise. Therefore via the weaker dollar America is aiming to stabilize and eventually reduce its trade deficit.


Debt Elimination will solve the 'Dollar Dilemma'


To avoid any long term detrimental effects it is obvious that the US will eventually have to work to strengthen the dollar and subsequently bring back down the oil prices. A decrease in oil prices will produce a rise in interest rates for the oil producing countries, which when combined with a loss of export revenues amounts to an even larger debt crisis than the one that currently exists. Depending on the pace at which oil prices are reduced, many nations may have to default which will create an insecure and unfavorable environment for investment and export. Therefore possible threats to default on debts would force the U.S. to have to devalue the dollar; something that it could not afford or desire to do.


With this in context the debt elimination headed by the UK, is the most appropriate solution to America's 'dollar dilemma'. It is most probable that the U.S. will eliminate this debt in order to remove any uncertainty while having minimal effect on current and future domestic economics. It is for this that the U.S. has planned the very public and deceptive G8 summit in Edinburgh.


Revaluation of the IMF reserves will be set against the Debt owed


As proposed by Gordon Brown, reserves of the International Monetary Fund, the world's third biggest holder of gold bullion with more than 100 million ounces, would be revalued to levels achieved in the recent boom market in gold and other precious metals. With current spot gold prices at about $415 an ounce, the value of some 90 million ounces of the IMF reserve, pegged at just above $40 an ounce under a 1971 agreement, would soar tenfold. As part of the larger debt relief plan, that huge increase in value would be set against the debt owed.


Furthermore any proposal to revalue or sell IMF gold would require an 85 percent majority of total voting power. This would easily provide the U.S. the upper hand with its holding of more than 17 percent of the voting power. Thus the U.S. will oppose any plans for auctioning off the gold due to its implications on the US economy. Instead revaluation will be the proposed method enabling the IMF to create extra revenue without disrupting the gold market or the developing countries' gold sales revenues. Hence revaluation would have little impact on the market and consequently little impact on the U.S. and the other developed world economies.


The Fallacy of Live 8 and People Power in Capitalism


In conclusion, the U.S.'s debt elimination will take place as preplanned long before the Live 8 event and its accompanying marches. The debt elimination as explained above is aimed at serving the U.S. and other developed Capitalist nations' interests. While egotistical and self righteous Pop Stars pranced about on a stage, millions of like minded individuals clicked their fingers blindly believing they were initiating 'change within the world'. Simultaneously Western politicians played along masking their amusement at the ignorance of the masses as they claimed 'that the debt might be removed now'. Moreover the politicians of the West comically used the event to showcase how 'democracy and people power takes effect'.


Dear Muslims from the 'Best Nation Sent unto Mankind', events such as these should be a clear warning and opportunity for us to witness the degradation mankind suffers within the Capitalist system and the fallacious nature of Democracy. Indeed there is little if any humanitarian value within Democracy as the developed nations work to maintain their hegemony and subjugation over others. There is little if any ethical value within Democracy as politicians will lie and deceive their own brethren in order to attain their own personal agendas. For mankind to raise itself up from the level of an animal, it must use what differentiates it from the animal i.e. the mind. By using the mind in the correct manner and contemplating in an enlightened way upon his existence, mankind will inevitably come to the TRUTH of the Islamic Aqeedah and the necessity to live by what Allah SWT has revealed. It is a duty upon us – the Islamic Ummah to push mankind to think and raise itself from the futile actions of clicking their fingers, shaking their head, clapping and screaming while falsely believing they are making a change…

Bismillah


Some thoughts to our non Muslim guests.


There are things that we all know, scientists has updated us. The earth spins around the sun, that is easy to see with our own eyes since it gives us day and night.


And this schedule makes the sun rise from the east and set in the west.


<b>Question</b>: Could you or any other individual or perhaps NASA make the sun to rise from the west instead?


<b>Question</b>: Can a human being through research stretch the hours of the day or the hours of the night? Delay sunrise or sunset?


More knowledge. Procreation happens in the woman’s womb through the amalgamation of a sperm and ovum.


<b>Question:</b> Can you or perhaps a highly specialized genecologist sign a statement confirming that the embryo will live and fully develop during a nine months period?


<b>Question</b>: Can you or any other highly specialized gynecologist sign a statement confirming the freedom of the embryo from any disabilities?


<b>Question</b>: Can an embryologist treat an embryo with for example with Down’s syndrome so the baby that is then born is free from it?


<b>Question:</b> In cases of medically assisted reproduction, can a doctor give a 100 procent guranatee the outcome will be successful?


Some other thoughts.


<b>Question</b>: Can you delay your own death? Can you prevent it from happening?

U.S. KILLED HAWI TO KEEP MOUTHS SHUT

In an interview on Al Jazeera television, only a few days prior to his assassination, former Communist party leader Georges Hawi exposed several of America's political secrets...


Firstly he revealed that the 1977 assassination of Walid Jumblatt's father, the British agent Kamal Jumblatt was by none other than Rifaat Al Assad. He stated, "We knew for a long time who killed Kamal Jumblatt. And today I am going to disclose in a responsible manner the name of the killer. It is a Syrian Leader, and I am sure, the killing took place without the knowledge of Hafez Al Assad and this information is clear and very well known. Dr. Rifaat Al Assad is behind the murder of Jumblatt." It is well known that Rifaat Al Assad is just as subservient and loyal towards America as his brother Hafez was, thus Hawi's correct accusation was a direct finger at the U.S.


Himself a British agent, Hawi even elaborated on how the French, British and Americans were regularly assassinating each others' agents and how he desperately tried to rescue his British counterpart, Jumblatt from the U.S. targeting, "In Lebanon, assassinations were never executed by one party without the knowledge of others, but these parties took turns. One day one covers up and the other executes and visa versa. We failed to find at the time a safe haven for Kamal Jumblatt,…".


In addition Hawi openly exposed how farcical the U.S. pushed Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon was, as it was the Americans themselves who had organized the Lebanese occupation in the first place. He even elaborated upon how the U.S. guaranteed Syria's safety from 'Israel' prior to their troops marching into Lebanon, "The United States was not the only country that approved of Syria's invasion of Lebanon, Israel too. King Hussein of Jordan, met with the former Israeli PM Menahem Begin at the Israeli embassy in London and obtained Israeli approval. The King directly informed Hafez Al Assad of Israeli decision as a guarantee, that Israel will not attack Syria once Syria invades Lebanon".


Georges Hawi had falsely assumed that being out of the political sphere and witnessing the Syrian withdrawal somehow made it acceptable and safe for him to share some of his knowledge of the insidious nature of America. He was wrong. In fact his timely assassination was a message from America to all those within the Lebanese old guard and political mainstream to keep their 'knowledge' to themselves or face the same consequences. Indeed this should serve as a reminder that the Syrian withdrawal was not the removal of the real tyrannical regime within Lebanon, rather they were merely following orders, orders from the United States of America. As the French agent Michel Aoun stated upon Hawi's assassination, "we can't blame [President Emile] Lahoud every


time someone gets hit. Hawi's relations were not ordinary and are broad, whether they are international or regional. It is more likely that he was murdered on that political basis."


The U.S. occupation of Lebanon continues, only this time in a far more perilous manner as the masses are blinded into believing they are liberated. True liberation can only come to the land of Lebanon by restoring the law of Allah SWT and allying itself to the rest of the Islamic Ummah as an Islamic State. Only then will all of the sectarian strife be eradicated to the annals of barbaric history where it truly belongs, and only then can the colonial aspirations of America be challenged.

OIL PRICES: A U.S.–EURO CONFLICT BUT THE UMMAH PAY FOR IT


1/7/05

The recent record level of $60 a barrel for crude oil is the result of another long term plan concocted by the United States in order to finally eradicate what little influence the European states have within the Gulf region and to curtail Japan's economic aspirations. Indeed as far back as early 2002 Herman Franssen, director of Petroleum Economics Ltd, exposed how U.S. interventions within the Middle East were aiming for the $60 a barrel figure. As to how the high oil prices are detrimental to the Europeans and peripheral to the United States, this is apparent when one observes the true figures of Gulf oil supply to the various nations:


- Europe receives 87 – 92% of its oil supply from the Gulf region.


- Japan receives 98% of its oil supply from the Gulf region.


- The United States on the other hand, only depends on 12% of its oil supply coming from the Gulf.


It is also a fact that the Gulf countries are still dependent and using refinery plants manufactured and provided by the Europeans. The increase in oil prices has been the U.S. method to initiate a drive within the Gulf towards the adoption of a more 'modern' refinery process i.e. one that disbands with the archaic infrastructure set in the 1960s by the Europeans such as Britain and replaces them with the newly developed U.S. technology. In 2001 Robert Parker, Deputy Chairman of Credit Suisse Asset Management commented on the rise in oil prices and its correlation with the inability of the currently established European technology, ".. the reasons for that is the state of the industry where there is very old infrastructure and their ability to turn the taps off is limited." Recent comments by American lickspittle, Ali al-Naimi, Saudi Arabian Oil Minister, were far more explicit: "Saudi is able to lift output...there was no demand for extra crude from the world market due to bottlenecks in the global refining system…..The supply is here, inventories are building, there is certainly no shortage of supply -- so build, build refineries." The call for new up to date refineries to replace the more than 20 year old plants was also echoed by Al Naimi's Qatari counterpart Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah. Even while in Vienna prior to a meeting with OPEC Al Naimi reiterated again, "Start building refineries and you will solve maybe half of the problem,". Furthermore recent deals between the Gulf States and American companies has seen the idea of 'partnership deals' taking place whereby the U.S. will provide and own the new state of the art refinery systems, thus giving them a far greater control of the Ummah's resources, (the new L.N.G. deal with Qatar is an avid example of this). All of this leads to the eventual disbandment of European technology and equipment imports within the Gulf which due to the American instigated rise in oil price, are proving themselves to be inadequate and inept to control fluctuating demands. This will lead to further consolidation of American hegemony within the Gulf and the removal of what remaining influences there are of the old colonial masters.


Furthermore the U.S. is aiming to diversify world oil supply from the strategically important proven reserves of the Middle East to the regions of Africa and the Caspian. The U.S.'s rise in oil prices has made the utilization of the African and Caspian Sea oil far more viable for the Europeans and a greater incentive for them to loosen the finger grip they have left within the Gulf.


Thus the United States aims to make herself the sole colonial master within the Middle East, raging her War on Islam and polluting its tyranny of democracy and debauchery upon the Islamic Ummah. America has acknowledged the importance of the Middle East region and the necessity to curb any future Islamic uprising which may hinder its ideological aspirations. We are witnessing the most evil and deceptive of all empires preparing itself to eradicate Islam and its sublime values under the guise of 'democracy' reformation' and 'freedom'. Yet sadly, none of this could occur, without the consent and measly pay off received by our subservient 'rulers'.

The progress of science makes it clear that living beings have an extremely complex structure and an order too perfect to have come into


being by coincidence. This is evidence to the fact that living beings are created by an All-Powerful Creator with superior knowledge. Recently,


for instance, with the unravelling of the perfect structure in the human gene-which became a prominent issue due to the Genome Project-the


unique creation of God has once more been revealed for all to see.
