Taken from Dr. Zakir Naik (www.drzakirnaik.com):


1. Belief in the hereafter is not based on blind faith?


Many people wonder as to how a person with a scientific and logical temperament, can lend any credence to the belief of life after death. People assume that anyone believing in the hereafter is doing so on the basis of blind belief.


My belief in the hereafter is based on a logical argument.

==================================================


I was brought up in a catholic family and raisd with Catholic values and traditions. At the age of fifteen i entered the monastery. While inside the monastery i was happy because i can perform my duties as a NUN and the people around me including my family were also pleased with me.


Until such time when i began to ask myself every night; "What am i doing here inside the monastery?" i stayed in our small and hamble chapel and started to ask God if he is really here listening to me. because i have learned in our catechism that God is present in the Blessed Sacrament.


Many questions were lingering my mind. Doubts were cropping up , particularly concerning the reality of Jesus Christ. However, i did not have the courage to ask a priest nor my co-nuns who were with me at that time. I was afraind that they might take it against me.


So i let all doubts linger, i even allowed myself to profess my first temporary vows, and i kept on renweing it every year for TEN YEARS. Until such time thay i could not take it anymore. my perpetual vows of chastity and poverty; proffessing that Jesus Christ is my God and that he is the son of God.


I started to pray harder, asking God for guidance and to show me the right path.


If i will leave the monastery it would bring great pain to my mother! My father actually did not mind if i leave the church and have my own family.


But i do not want to hurt my family, particularly my mother, my two brothers who are BOTH priests and my four sisters who happen to be all NUNS!


Above all i dont want to be hypocrite and pretend that i am happy practicing something which is against my underlying principle.


So i did not submit my application letter of perpetual profession, i talked to my superior general informing her that i am finally LEAVING THE MONASTERY.


Without informing my family i left to find work to survive, after while i met a close friend of mind who is a priest and offered me to work with him in his church in Marawi City (Philippines) as a parish coordinator.


Incidentally, my family heared the news that i left the church and it was very hard for them to accept the fact but they were hoping that one day i might come back to serve the church.


While working as a parish coordinator, the priest who hired me (MY FRIEND) was not treating me well, He did not even pay me salary and tried to sexually abuse me. But Thanks God he was not successful with his evil intentions.


Agains i started to pray asking God to be with me and to make me happy, because i have never been at peace with my life, My heart and mind were miserable.


A NEW DAY:


On June 17, 2001, early morning , I heared a beautiful sound but i did not understand what it was. i thought it was coming from the mosque nearby. As soon as i heared that sound i felt like i was dipped in refreshing water. i cannot explain the feeling.


That day i felt happiness entering my heart, though i did not understand what i heared. So after heaing this amazing sound i said to myself those few words " There is a new day, there is a new beginning"


i woke up that morning asking what was that sound and they told me it was the call for prayers of Muslims. Strange i came to this City (Marawi) on the first week of May 2001, but i only heared the call of prayers of Muslim on June 17 2001.


That day i decided to find out about Islam and Muslims. i started to search through reading some books untill finally i left my work, i went back to my family in Pampanga and found out that my father already passed away.


I was dipressed for a while but it did not stop me to discover Islam. So i went to Manila hoping to find someone to explain to me about Islam. In my heart i was reading to embrace Islam but i did not know how!


I did not give up, i search on the internet, i even went to the extent of joining chatting rooms, hoping to find a Muslim who can enlighten me about Islam.


Finally, i met someone in one of these Chat rooms, He is foreigner married to a Filipina. that time he was in China when i was discussing with him about Islam.


On June 16, 2004 i met that brother in Manila, he started to explain to me about Islam and ON THAT MEMORABLE DAY i declated:


LA ILLAHA ILLA ALLAH, MUHAMMADUR RASOLULLAH Wa ANA ISA RASOLULLAH..


i bear witness that there is no other god but ALlah, and Muhammad is his messenger and Jesus Christ is his messenger.


That fateful day, i finally found my new home, the home of Islam, A home where you can find love, happiness and joy. now i can smile , A smile that comes from my heart. On that day i slept very well.


everytime i pray, i cry, not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy. A joy which money cannot buy. its indescribale!


Now i remember when i have a conversation with my grandfather who is also a catholic priest (My mother's uncle). i told him that i want to change my religion and his response to this was surprising! He said "If you want to change your religion, then go back to ISLAM" ALLAHU AKBAR.


May Allah open the hearts of my family to the light of Islam. and May He protect us from Satan. Ameen.


O brothers and sisters! include me in your prayers.


Assalamo Alikum.


Sally.

What is everyone's take on the situation in Cyprus? Seeing as Turkey is a predominantly muslim nation, do most of you side with it? And who supports the Greek position? Let's get this thread a'rollin'!

Central Asian Uighurs Voice Concern of Deporting Uighur Refugees


July 07, 2004


ANKARA, - Ethnic Uighurs fleeing China's northwest Xinjiang Uighur


Autonomous Region (XUAR) to Central Asia as a result of Beijing's


crackdown


on political and religious dissent are allegedly being deported back to


China, where they face persecution, Uighur leaders in Central Asia say.


Their claim is endorsed by Amnesty International (AI).


"Human rights abuses are the main driving force behind the flow of


asylum


seekers from Xinjiang. But Uighurs seeking asylum in Central Asia are


deported back [to China] because the countries [in the region] don't


give


them political asylum," Kahriman Gojamberdi, representative of the


German-based World Uighur Congress, told IRIN from the Kazakh


commercial


capital Almaty on Wednesday.


In the past a number of Uighur asylum seekers who came to Kazakhstan


were


deported back to China, where they were subsequently executed, he


claimed,


conceding that fresh information on such incidents was not transparent.


"Kazakhstan now deports or sends them back secretly," he maintained.


The situation in neighbouring Kyrgyzstan is no different. Although


there


have been no recent incidents in which Uighurs have been deported to


China,


there were cases in 2001 and 2002, Nurmuhammed Kenji, director of the


Kyrgyzstan-based Central Asian Uighur Information and Project Centre,


told


IRIN from the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek.


"As China hasn't yet abolished the death penalty, handing people over


who


could be executed is a violation of international law," he said.


"There is an agreement between the intelligence services of Central


Asian


states and China within the framework of Shanghai Cooperation


Organisation


[regional security and cooperation body comprising China, Russia and


the


ex-Soviet Central Asian republics except Turkmenistan]. Based on that


agreement, they exchange such persons [wanted by the respective secret


services]," Gojamberdi explained.


Such comments coincide with a new report by AI saying Beijing was using


the


"war on terror" to justify its longstanding repression of the rights of


the


Uighur community. As a result, many Uighurs flee to neighbouring


countries -


including Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, home to an estimated 360,000


ethnic


Uighurs - only to be forcibly returned to China where they face torture


and


execution.


"China has repackaged its repression of Uighurs as a fight against


'terrorism'," AI said in a statement. "Since the 11 September 2001


attacks


on the USA, the Chinese government has been using 'anti-terrorism' as a


pretext to increase its crackdown on all forms of political or


religious


dissent in the region."


Gojamberdi agreed. "Human rights abuses are the main driving force


behind


the flow of asylum seekers from Xinjiang," he said.


Over the past three years, tens of thousands of people have been


reportedly


detained on "anti-terrorism" grounds in the XUAR, AI said. This is


despite


the claim by the regional authorities in April that "not one incident


of


explosion or assassination had taken place in the last few years".


Gojamberdi said that the international community should influence the


parliaments and other state bodies in the region so that Uighur


asylum-seekers were not returned to China.


Meanwhile, Kenji from Kyrgyzstan called for a constructive dialogue


with the


participation of Beijing and Uighur organisations in the world. "We


should


begin with establishing a platform for exchanging views. Confrontation


never


leads to a solution," he maintained.

The World Court’s ruling against Israel’s fence reveals that for the UN-EU establishment that it represents, there’s not much Israel can do that would escape condemnation other than lie down and die.


Targeted killings of terror masters are out. Military operations in places like Rafah or Jenin are out; they spark media frenzies of alleged massacres and wanton killing of civilians. Demolitions of the homes of suicide bombers—the only thing that can deter people who seek their own death—are out. Even curfews, roadblocks—out; they’re seen as oppressing the Palestinian people.


And now the moralists of the World Court have informed us that passive defense, too, is out. Adopting the official Arab League take on the legal status of the West Bank and airbrushing Palestinian terror out of the picture, the Court has ordered us to tear the fence down and start back where we were a couple of years ago when a few days without a suicide bombing seemed blessedly peaceful.


Less than two weeks earlier Israel’s Supreme Court, whose justices mainly represent the Left-liberal part of Israeli society, had ruled that the fence was a legitimate security measure, but parts of it would have to be rerouted because they inconvenienced the local Palestinian population. The same sort of Israelis who think Israel could redeem itself in the world’s eyes by removing this or that settlement, or withdrawing from this or that piece of land, or signing this or that treaty, hoped that the Israeli Court’s ruling—which clearly rated Palestinian convenience over Israeli lives in some cases—would favorably influence the Court in The Hague. Now they know it made no difference at all.


The World Court’s ruling was read out in solemn tones by its President, Shi Jiuyong of the People’s Republic of China. It’s a good thing Mr. Shi is so concerned with Israeli morality, since it spares him having to glance backward at his own country—which Freedom House, in its “Freedom in the World” report for 2003, ranks 7 for political rights and 6 for civil liberties on a descending 1-7 scale (by the way, Israel ranks 1 and 3, respectively). Freedom House gives some more detailed information on the state of rights and liberties in the PRC, and this is just a sample:


"China is one of the most authoritarian states in the world. Opposition parties are illegal, the CCP controls the judiciary, and ordinary Chinese enjoy few basic rights. . . . [A]ccording to [a] State Department report[,] officials often subject prisoners to “severe psychological pressure” to confess using legal loopholes to prevent suspects from obtaining counsel . . . . Officials bypass the courts entirely in jailing, without trial, hundreds of thousands of Chinese each year. . . . By most accounts, Chinese prisons, re-education camps, and detention centers hold thousands of political prisoners. . . . Even after they are released, many former political prisoners face unrelenting police harassment that prevents them from holding jobs or otherwise leading normal lives. China executes thousands of people each year, more than all other countries combined. . . . Many are executed immediately after summary trials, and often for nonviolent crimes. . . . many Chinese have been executed for nonviolent offenses such as corruption, pimping, hooliganism, or the theft of farm animals or rice. . . . Law enforcement officials routinely torture suspects to extract confessions. . . . The regime sharply restricts press freedom. . . . Chinese jails held 36 journalists as of December 2002, 14 of whom were serving time for publishing or distributing information online. . . . Beijing sharply restricts religious freedom . . . . [Z]ealous local officials . . . harass and at times fine, detain, beat, and torture church leaders or ordinary worshippers. . . . In Xinjiang, officials sharply restrict the building of new mosques, limit Islamic publications and education, ban religious practice by those under 18, and control the leadership of mosques and religious schools. . . ."


Yes, Mr. Shi, I hope you represent your country proudly on the Court of Justice, and are bearing down hard on all those Israeli infractions.


Shi’s second-in-command is the Court's vice-president, Raymond Ranjeva of Madagascar. With a 3, 4 ranking on political rights and civil liberties, Madagascar in fact does much better than China, but it’s no paradise either:


"Most of the 20,000 people held in the country's prisons are pretrial detainees, who suffer extremely harsh conditions. In many rural areas, customary law courts that follow neither due process nor standardized judicial procedure often issue summary and severe punishments."


Then there’s Nabil Elaraby, the Egyptian justice. Nobody fell off his chair in shock when Elaraby—who has no problem serving under President Shi, whose country officially discriminates against and oppresses Muslims and Islam—voted along with the 14-1 majority to condemn Israel’s fence. Back in 2001, two months before he was elected to the World Court, Al-Ahram stated Elaraby’s views on Israel as follows: “New facts and new problems are created on the ground.… Grave violations of humanitarian law ensue . . . the atrocities perpetrated on Palestinian civilian populations, for instance. . . . Israel is occupying Palestinian territory, and the occupation itself is against international law.” But last January, when Israel requested that Elaraby be removed from the fence case, it got nowhere. As for human rights in Egypt (rankings: 6, 6), a few details from Freedom House:


"The Emergency Law . . . allows for the arrest without charge and prolonged pretrial detention of suspects, as well as their families and acquaintances. Torture and inadequate food and medical care are pervasive in custody. In November 2002, Amnesty International published a report stating that “everyone taken into detention in Egypt is at risk of torture.” The authorities rarely investigate the abuse of detainees (unless they die in custody). . . . Although non-Muslims are generally able to worship freely, the government has seized church-owned property and frequently denies permission to build or repair churches. In recent years, Muslim extremists have murdered, kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted scores of Copts, and burned or vandalized Coptic homes, businesses, and churches; the few perpetrators who have been brought to trial have been acquitted or received light sentences."


And so it goes. Israel also found itself chastised in this ruling by Jordan, the Russian Federation, Sierra Leone, and Venezuela (respective Freedom House rankings: 6, 5; 5, 5; 4, 4; 3, 4). All these countries have considerable human rights problems at home that, ideally, they would tend to first; instead, their representatives on the Court voted to remove Israelis’ right to life and affirm Palestinian terrorists’ right to slaughter them unimpeded.


And then there were the democracies that voted in favor. They included France and Belgium, the biggest Arafat-groupies on the planet; the Netherlands, which hosted the evil farce; as well as Brazil, Germany (the less said the better), Japan, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom, a country not totally in the EUnuch camp that showed, with this ruling, that where Israel is concerned it stands—or grovels—with the most abject of the appeasers.


The lone dissenting vote by the American judge, Thomas Buergenthal, together with the bipartisan dismissals of the Court’s ruling by American leaders, were the only rays of light in a very dark picture.

Uighur Militant Reported Executed by China


Jim Lobe


OneWorld US http://us.oneworld.net/article/view/89900/1/


Tue., Jul. 13, 2004


WASHINGTON, D.C., Jul 13 (OneWorld) - The reported execution of an alleged Uighur "separatist" in China's Xinjiang province is adding to concern by human rights groups that Beijing is taking advantage of the ongoing "war on terrorism" to crack down on the predominantly Muslim indigenous population in its westernmost territory.


Kuerban Tudaji was reportedly sentenced to death on June 30 after his conviction for "manufacturing explosives, firearms and ammunition" as part of an effort to "split the country" and "organize terrorist training" between 1998 and 2000.


Amnesty International, which only last week issued a major report on the situation in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR), as the province is known formally, condemned the reported execution, suggesting that the defendant may not have received a fair trial and appealing for the authorities to make public the evidence it presented against him.


Amnesty charged in its report released last Wednesday that tens of thousands of people in XUAR have been detained since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against New York and the Pentagon. After the attacks, Beijing swiftly pledged its cooperation in the "war on terror" and intensified its crackdown against the Uighur population of about seven million.


"China has repackaged its repression of Uighurs as a fight against 'terrorism,'" Amnesty said in its latest report. "Since the 11 September 2001 attacks on the USA, the Chinese government has been using 'anti-terrorism' as a pretext to increase its crackdown on all forms of political or religious dissent in the region." It noted that the crackdown has continued despite the fact that the head of XUAR's government admitted last April that "not one incident of explosion or assassination took place (there) in the last few years."


It also noted that many Uighurs have fled to neighboring countries, such as Kyrgyzstan, Kazakstan, Nepal and Pakistan but have been forcibly repatriated as a result of Chinese pressure on the host governments. In one recent case, an exile was executed after being returned from Nepal even though he had been accorded official refugee status by the UN High Commission for Refugees and was awaiting resettlement to a third country at the time of his arrest by Nepali authorities and subsequent return to China.


At least 22 Uighur prisoners captured in Afghanistan during and after the U.S.-led military campaign in 2001 are among the 595 detainees being held at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Bush administration which, according to some reports, permitted Chinese officials to interrogate the detainees in 2002, has ruled out repatriating them on the grounds that they may be subject to torture or execution. Amnesty said it had received reports that the prisoners were subjected to "stress and duress" techniques and sleep deprivation during the interrogation, but this account has not been confirmed.


Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking people who only came under China's rule in the mid-19th century, still refer to their territory as East Turkestan. Fifty years ago, they made up more than 80 percent of the population, but steady ethnic-Han Chinese im-migration, encouraged by Beijing and spurred by oil production and growing links with Central Asia, has brought their percentage down to less than half.


Tensions, fuelled by racial discrimination against the Uighurs in both education and employment, rose risen steadily since the late 1980s. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent creation of Central Asian states ethnically related to the Uighurs sparked a wave of nationalism among the Uighurs that has become more powerful over the past decade. In 1997, a Uighur demonstration in Yining erupted into a riot in which nine people were killed.


In addition to detaining tens of thousands of Uighurs - the vast majority of whom have believed never to have used or advocated violence - the government has shut down a number of mosques and banned some religious schools and practices.


Islamic clergy, for example, have been subjected to "political education" designed to give them "a clearer understanding of the party's ethnic and religious policies," while some clerics have been detained for teaching the Koran.


In addition to the restrictions on religious schools and mosques, tens of thousands of Uighur books have reportedly been banned and burned, while the Uighur has been banned as a language in which courses can be taught for most subjects in Xinjiang University.


"At current levels of repression, the space for independent expression of Uighur cultural or religious identity is narrowing dangerously," Amnesty said.


The most famous of the prisoners is Rebiya Kadeer, a businesswoman and mother of 11 whose accomplishments were promoted by the government through much of the 1990s as a model for the country as a whole. In 2000, however, she was sentenced in a secret trial to eight years in prison for "providing secret information to foreigners." In fact, the information she was charged with providing were newspaper articles sent from her to her husband who had moved to the United States after serving a sentence for a political crime in China. Washington has long called for her release, and, while her sentenced was reduced by one year in March, her imprisonment continues.


The report that Uighurs are currently suffering high rates of unemployment in their homeland, largely due to the influx of Han Chinese into the region. Han Chinese also reportedly are buying up property, forcing Uighurs from their land.
