Bin Laden Offers Truce to Europe


In a tape which aired on Arab satellite networks, al Qaeda leader <b>Osama bin Laden offers a truce to European countries if they pull their troops out of the Middle East.</b> CIA officials say the tape appears to be genuine. The tape cites recent events, such as the death of the founder of the Palestinian Hamas group.


the answer:


<b>Europe: No deal with bin Laden</b>


<b>European politicians have ruled out negotiating with Osama bin Laden </b>after a tape the CIA says is likely to be that of the <b>al Qaeda leader offered a truce to European nations if they pull troops out of Islamic countries</b>.


<b>a three-month deadline, starting April 15, for countries to stop attacking Muslims. ends in 24 hours !!!</b>

<b>Who Really Wants to Invade Saudi Arabia, and Why? </b>


<b>Michael Moore’s new film “Fahrenheit 9/11” has done a tremendous favor for some proponents of a war upon the Arabian Peninsula</b>. The film achieves what endless pages of conservative think-tank studies and panel discussions, hours of PR time and books can not: spill gasoline on the anti-Saudi sparks already ignited within the United States. Moore's film lambastes the Saudis not only for their business relationships but also for leaving the US after the attacks of September 11th 2001 as did other non-Saudi officials on the same day when specific flights were permitted. <b>The overwhelming popularity of this documentary takes the anti-Saudi message to a whole new market. It is the latest manifestation of a rationale for war that could finally execute a long-term plan to invade and occupy the Kingdom</b>. In spite of its progressive producer and target audience, “Fahrenheit 9/11” falls lock-step in line with the stated agenda of neoconservative hawks: rid Arabia of the House of Saud thereby granting the US and allies full access to the Middle East's biggest prize.


The Take-Over Plan






Source: London Sunday Times, February 1975


In Feb. 1975 the London Sunday Times revealed information from a leaked and classified U.S. Department of Defense plan. The plan was code-named <b>"Dhahran Option Four" and provided for an invasion of the world's largest oil reserves, namely Saudi Arabia</b>.


<b>Classified Plans Brought to Light</b>


<b>In 1973, the Nixon administration described a plan of attack against Saudi Arabia to seize its oil fields</b> in a classified Joint Intelligence Report entitled "UK Eyes Alpha." British MI5 and MI6 were informed, and under British National Archive rules, the document was declassified in Dec. 2003. The oil embargo had been over for only three weeks but "Eyes Alpha" suggested that the "U.S. could guarantee sufficient oil supplies for themselves and their allies by taking the oil fields in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Gulf State of Abu Dhabi." It followed that "preemptive" action would be considered, and that two brigades could seize the Saudi oilfields and one brigade each could take Kuwait and Abu Dhabi
.


<b>The Approaching Decision</b>


On June 25, 2004, Michael Moore's film, Fahrenheit 9/11 opened to 500 screens and insatiable crowds. The film's message to audiences is clear and simple: the U.S.-Saudi relationship must end.

Praise be to Allah and prayer and peace be upon His Messenger Mohamed, his household and companions


In this post we are going to examine an important issue that has been bothering all of us lately, which is the definition of terrorism. Taking in consideration that what actually bothers us is that it became a synonym to Muslims in a sense of incriminating us as a nation.


Insh a Allah I seek Allah’s close guidance to assist me in presenting how I think about this issue and allow me to produce the correct points.


Let us start with looking into the pattern of several wars, for example what happened during the 1991 war between Iraq and Kuwait, 1991 Operation Desert Shield between the USA and Iraq in Kuwait, 1967 between Israel and Egypt, 1976 between Egypt and Israel, and many other examples.


All these wars share a common characteristic which is depending mainly on the factor of sudden surprise on the first strike in order to unstabilize the other party (enemy of course). So the objective is to cause the enemy loose focus, capability and stability in order to be easily defeated. Part of the aim also is to send terrifying messages to the enemy so as to defeat its resistance and moral capability.


We may conclude that any military strategic tactic depends on a strong, sudden, and terrifying act towards the target to ensure a full loss of control, defense, focus, unity and more. Again to terrorize the target.


Therefore, if the manmade military strategies legitimize terrorism in cases of war in order for the attacking party (regardless of whether or not that party owns the right to do so, this is not my core of interest in this discussion, if u observe I gave various war examples without an emphasis on Islam or Muslims) to ensure winning the war.


Let us get to Quran and how it deals with this point, since our manual (the Quran did not and I emphasis did not overlook any aspect of our life without producing the proper regulation).


“And make ready against them all you can of power, <b>including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, etc.) </b><b>to hreaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides whom
</b>, you may not know but whom Allah does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allah shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly” (Quran 8:60).


With all due respect to the translator, but he modified the word into modern war machines. The Ayah precisely say prepare for them all what u can of power and the tie of horses with which u may terrorize and threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy. I found myself responsible with all my Arabic native speakers on this board to help our fellow Muslims who are not Arabic native speakers gain better understanding of the Quran specially after looking into this Ayah. The word in the red font in Arabic which is translated as threaten is “Turhibun” derived from urhib which is literally to terrorize.


Please examine the noble Ayah carefully before jumping into any conclusion or feeling a deep need to defend the image of your religion. Our religion does not need to. We are commanded to prepare every possible means that terrorize and threaten the enemy of Allah and others known only to Him. Only the enemy of Allah and us.


If we don’t how will we win a battle can u tell me?, by pushing the shoulder of the enemy telling him how bad he is and that he must reconsider fighting Allah, or by telling him O please go away and leave us alone don’t kill us please. No we must act harsh and strong just as appropriate to our religion. But again this is only legitimate during war. Thus, we can not really make haphazard decisions on any Muslim launching an aggression or an attack against a group of people, since they we are not aware of full details of the situation. Again the situation is what makes it legitimate or not. Please just consider this point. The given situation on which the attach was launched is what makes it legitimate or not.


I recall reading about a companion can not remember his name, who decided on a battle to take a risk by penetrating all of a sudden into the lines of the other party in a move that will certainly result into confusion and instability. Brothers and sisters we must be aware of what is a military tactic all about.


This terrorism issue is carefully engineered by the Western media to trap us into a pitch of how to defend our image and to do that we even sometime go to the extreme of being unjust to our brothers and sisterS.


Brothers and sisters, we all agree that killing armless civilians, children, women and elderly is not allowed in an Islamic context of war. We are also aware of the incident when Zaid Ibn Haretha killed a Mushrik during a battle after pronouncing the Shahada and was seriously blamed by the Messenger for doing so till he said I wished I did not embrace Islam before that day. The Messenger told him did u slit his heart to be sure that he did not mean it.


But again and again, we are dealing with issues in which we depend on media as source of information. For a change let the Quran and Sunnah be our guide when it comes to the global war being aggressively launched against us.


Alhamdulelah who guided us for this and if it was not for Him we would not have been guided. Whatever is correct in this post is from Allah, and whatever is wrong is from me and shaytan


Prayer and peace be on our leader and teacher and Messenger Mohamed, his household and companions

assalam alykom


i read Malcom X autobiography.. pingune puplished.


i havn't undersatand many words:) ( what a sense) but i still read on it.. the great chapter of this book is : his journey to Makkah.. it has many funny sitution and it has a many great ideas about the conflict between balck people ana white ...also it has many good description about Hajj&Umrah,, pligrams.. saudi people..and so on..

thank you..

as'lam alykom brothers..


i've seen some simple problems.. here in some brothers writing.. plz make sure to..:


1- if you want to write the word ( Allah) : DO not write it (allah)..at all even refernceses such as ( Him , He, God ..and so on) which is releated to the name of God.


2- the name of the holy place Makkah , Do not write it (mecca) becuse mecca is name of a kind of cow's in Amrica. also, ( Makkah) is become a well-known name, so there is no need to use ( mecca) AT ALL.


3- capital letters in the internet dictinory mean's: screaming or talking very loudly. like .. BUZZ or I MISS you.. and so on ..


4- i heard some brothers said : I love you in Allah. thats wrong i think. if you want so .. you should say: I love you in the sake of Allah.


..thats it,, i knew that some brothers knows these things perfectly.. but just to remember..


thank you brothers..

Let's se how many hadiths we can all find which have been narrated by Usama Bin Zaid or are about him.


I'll start You off....................


Hadith 2:730


Narrated Usama bin Zaid


rode behind Allah's Apostle from 'Arafat and when Allah's Apostle reached the mountain pass on the left side which is before Al-Muzdalifa he made his camel kneel and then urinated, and then I poured water for his ablution. He performed light ablution and then I said to him: (Is it the time for) the prayer, O Allah's Apostle!" He replied, "The (place of) prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at Al-Muzdalifa)." So Allah's Apostle rode till he reached Al-Muzdalifa and then he offered the prayer (there) . Then in the morning (10th Dhul-Hijja) Al-Faql (bin Abbas) rode behind Allah's Apostle. Kuraib, (a sub-narrator) said that 'Abdullah bin Abbas narrated from Al-Fadl, "Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) kept on reciting Talbiya (during the journey) till he reached the Jamra." (Jamrat-al-Aqaba)

This is a discussion I had from another forum.

Quote:Now since Allah 1) knows exactly what Christians believe, and 2) knows the exact nature of the doctrine of the Trinity, and 3) intended the Quran to convince the Jews and Christians of the error of their ways, why didn't he tell the Christians exactly what was wrong with their beliefs? What prevented him from saying, "The Christians are mistaken. Jesus is not of one substance with me. There is no three in one when talking about God, there is just one in one, God"?
But the Quran does not do that. Instead, the Quran falsely accuses the Christians of setting up a one of three Trinity, a Trinity of three gods ("They do blaspheme who say: Allah [God] is one of three in a Trinity.") Surah 5: 72-77).

Quote:According to the Quran, these three Christian deities consist of Allah or God, a different and separate "partner" god, which is Jesus, and then another god altogether. This third, separate entity is mistakenly assumed to be Mary, it seems, as Surah 5:116 has Jesus denying that he ever said to mankind:

Quote:And what about Mary? If indeed some or many Christians did or do mistakenly treat Mary like a God (and indeed, some seem to do that, e.g., Catholics, but not others, e.g., Protestants), that should make four Christian Gods, not three: The Father, the Mother, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Surely Allah knows the difference between three and four, yet nowhere does the Quran say that Christians worship four gods. It speaks of "the third of three," not "the fourth of four." This missing fourth God indicates that indeed, the writer of the Quran was ignorant of the Holy Spirit's place in the Trinity, and believed that Mary was this third god of the Trinity, and that the Christians worshipped these three gods.

The Batinis


O Muslims! Allah has sent down to you the Qur'an as a clear, plain and straightforward book. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) clarified the contents of the Qur'an and expanded on their details. He, too, spoke in straightforward speech, not in riddles or vague allusions. This fact, although intuitive and self-evident to those of sound mind and disposition, nevertheless escapes others, who are misled by outrageous, fanciful distortions of the plain meanings of the sacred texts such that they interpret them in a manner not allowed for by the language or the context. Therefore, let us present a brief selection of the textual evidences for this, along with related warnings on not interpreting the Qur'an based on whims:


1. From the Qur'an (exact refs. available if desired, inshaAllah):


"and this is plain Arabic language."


"Those are the signs of the Plain Book."


". . . . after we made it plain for people in the Book . . . . "


"A book whose verses/signs have been made decisive, and then detailed."


"What is the matter with these people, that they can scarcely understand speech?"


"Those who commit in Our signs are not hidden from Us. Is then he who is cast into the Fire better, or he who comes safe on the Day of Resurrection?"


Ibn `Abbas said, "They are those who put words into other than the meanings their [proper] places."


From the Sunan and Athar:


And the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) has said, "Whoever spoke about the Qur'an from his [own, unfounded] opinion, or from that whereof he had no knowledge, let him seek his place in the Fire."


'Umar used to say, "Which sky would cover me, or which earth would shelter me, if I were to speak about the Book of Allah without knowledge?"


From the sayings of the scholars:


Mulla `Ali Qari says, in his supplement to Sharh al-Fiqh al-Akbar, "The texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah are taken according to their outward, literal meanings, apart from the well-known difference between the former (salaf) and latter (khalaf) generations regarding interpretation of the allegorical divine attributes."


Similarly, `Abdul-Haqq al-Dehlawi says in "Takmilat al-Iman" that distorting the texts from their outward meaning, in the manner of the Batinis, is heresy and unbelief.


We proceed now to address this terrible disease, spiritual in scope and devastating in consequence; the disease of heretical 'interpretation'. When the enemies of Islam realized they could not distract the Muslims from the Qur'an and sunnah, they transferred their efforts to another, far more devious scheme: they tried to divert them from the true meanings of the sacred texts. This ploy is far more horrendous and devastating in its effects, for once such ideas take root in the minds of the deluded, they shackle the individual into bondage which he himself struggles to retain. His devil hinders him from the Path, while he thinks that he is actually rightly-guided.


"Say : Shall We inform you of those who are the worst losers with regard to their deeds? Those whose efforts are wasted in the life of the world. while they think that they are [actually] doing good." [al-Kahf]


It is in this light that Shaykh `Abdullah al-Ghumari says, in "al-qawl al-jazl fee-maa la yu`adh-dhar feehi bil-jahl," that among that ignorance which is not excusable is ignorance about the reality of some fundamental parts of the doctrine, such as the resurrection of bodies, the fact that the world had a beginning, and that Allah knows even the minute details of things. Therefore, he mentions, those philosophers who denied such things are not excused, even if they prayed and fasted, and thought they were Muslims, and even if they spent their entire lives trying to understand these things rationally, but were unable to. This is because such doctrinal fundamentals must be accepted even if we cannot picture, imagine or justify them on rational axioms.


The Batinis played with the words of Allah, drawing on the works of the heretic philosophers, and planted their venomous heresy into the minds of the neglectful and wretched, where they found fertile soil. They claimed that they had received insight into the "inner" meanings of the sacred texts, and they scorned the Islam of the Companions, viewing them as simpletons who had not progressed beyond the "outer" meanings. "And, when they are told, 'Believe as the people have believed!' they say, 'Shall we believe as the fools believe?' Indeed, they are the fools, but they do not realize." [al-Baqarah]


In this manner, the Batinis proceeded to try to demolish the entire religion.


The term Batini is a general, descriptive name given to all sects who rely upon the perverted methodology we have mentioned above. They include the Qaramitah and the Isma`iliyyah of earlier origin, and the Qadianis and Bahais of more recent times. Yet, the Batini approach is not always encountered in a clear form and with a distinct sectarian identity. There is another category of people among whom it has its traces and manifestations. They are individuals still donning the outward guise of mainstream Islam. Their faith is so weak that they force themselves to justify everything in the religion practically and rationally. Failing that, they resort to distortion of the meanings of the texts so as to mould them around their mentality and outlook. Others among them may not be as deficient in faith, but are impatient and presumptuous. They try to fit the Qur'an to every new event and scientific discovery they encounter.


"Mankind is a creature of haste. I shall show you My signs, so do not be impatient."


Beware of this approach, brothers and sisters! Remember that the texts of the Qur'an and sunnah are straightforward, and their import is clear and literal (except where it is unquestionably indicated otherwise), as we mentioned at the start of this discourse. Having considered and appreciated this, you will realize the fallacy of the opinions of the heretic philosophers who claimed that Heaven and Hell are merely states of mind after death, and that there is no resurrection of the bodies.


Similarly, you will spurn the 'interpretations,' from these philosophers and other ignorant and misguided individuals, of the Signs of Judgement Day, such as their saying that the Rising of the Sun from the West is merely indicating a state of upheaval and inversion of matters, and that the Dajjal (False-Messiah) is merely an indication of a general state of deceit and fraud. And, knowing the clear descriptions of Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) and their activities when they will break loose upon the earth as a portent of Judgement Day, you will realize the falsehood of any notions suggesting that they were none other than the Mongols, or that they are merely an indication of the control of mankind by super-powers, and that therefore we are living in the midst of Ya'juj and Ma'juj today.


So, recognize the truth, brothers and sisters, for it stands clear on its own.


"Say : The truth is from your Lord, so let whoever wishes believe and whoever wishes disbelieve." [al-Kahf]


Do not be misled into the heretical ways of the philosophers. Realize, however, that some of the Sufis delight in speaking in allegories and riddles. They will give 'commentary' on sacred texts which in reality is not a commentary, but merely a voicing of thoughts or parallels which the verse or hadith brought to mind, albeit on a thread similar to that of the text in question.


So, to speak, for example, about a general state of fraud and deception in connection with the texts on the Dajjal does not by itself constitute heresy, as long as the person is not denying the literal reality of the Dajjal as a one-eyed man of Jewish origin, who will claim divinity and exhibit wondrous feats, for it is conceivable, although not necessary, that the Dajjal should emerge at a time when fraud and deception are rampant, such that he be an individual typifying that situation. Similarly, to draw parallels between the despotism of Ya'juj and Ma'juj on the one hand, and that of today's super-powers, is not by itself disbelief, as long as one accepts the literal reality of the Emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj, as described in the Qur'and and authentic hadith. However, it is essential to accept the literal realities of these things, and to make them plain to people before attempting to offer philosophical insights.


And Allah guides to the straight path, and there is no strength nor power without Allah.

Hello,


My name is Djana. I am a muslim from Bosnia Herzgovina. I don't understand why all you women ruin your appearance with such things as hijaab and robe. Why? It seems that only the die hard muslims do this like in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and so on.


European muslims are different. There is not pressure for us to do this here. Do you women feel pressured to cover up? Do you even have a choice? Is Bosnia or Serbia or Turkey, we are proud of our religion but we are modern in our dress too. When I visit the rest of Europe and I tell them I am a muslim, they judge me. If all muslims were understanding like the one in Europe our religion would have such a better repuation.


Thanks,


Djana
