Islam Vs. Terrorism

The Qur’an strongly condemns terrorism and oppression (4:75, 22:39-40, 9:13-14, 42:39-43, 38:28, 2:190-193).

The Qur’an strongly condemns unjust killing and suicide (5:32, 2:195, 4:29-30, 4:91-93, 17:31, 17:33, 6:151, 25:68, 3:21, etc.).

The Qur’an teaches self-defense and tolerance (60:7-9, 2:190-3, 6:107-8, 6:68, 49:11, 39:3, 16:126-128, 73:10, 19:46-47, etc.).

The Qur’an advises Muslims not to take terrorists, intolerants, slanderers, and haters as friends and protectors (5:51, 3:28, 5:57-61, 60:7-9, 3:118, etc.).

The Qur’an strongly condemns priesthood and religious peddlers (2:41, 2:79, 5:44, 3:187, 9:9, 9:31, 9:34, 2:174, 12:104, etc.

Sad thinking or zionist media brain washing? let me share facts and you go research it -According to an official FBI report, from 1980 to 2005, 42% of all terrorist attacks were carried out by Latinos, including illegal immigrants; 29% of a

ll attacks were carried out by left-wing extremists, including communists, and 7% of all attacks were carried out by Jewish extremist groups such as the JDL. Also, according to an Europol reports “EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report TE-SAT“, during the years 2007 to 2009, there were 1,359 terrorist attacks carried out by so-called “separatists” within the EU and 104 attacks carried out by leftists in the EU. Together these two groups alone comprised 91% of all terrorist attacks on European soil. In 2006, in Greece and Italy alone, left-wing extremists were responsible for 100% of all attacks carried out in those countries. The same Europol report listed four “Islamist” attacks on European soil, which comprised only over 1/4 of 1% of all attacks. In fact, if one were to examine the origins of terrorism, he would find that terrorism originated with the extreme left-wing Jacobinists during the French Revolution. Given the high propensity of some groups to terrorism, one might wonder why groups like ANTIFA have never been labeled as domestic terrorists. Meanwhile, while hypocritical organizations such as the ADL and SPLC continue to push for Muslims or others to be labeled as terrorists, they completely ignore many leftist terrorists in America.

The killings by or in Muslim countries form a very small percentage of the total killings, despite the fact that Muslims form about one fifth of the world population.
____________________________________________________
Contrary to the lie propagated by Western media, Muslims have been subjected to violence by others rather than the vice versa. Russia killed millions of Muslims in Afghanistan, America killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Israel killed thousands in its conflict with Arabs. In all of these resistance movements or liberation struggles, Muslims were killed in very large numbers, while they killed much less. Here is the break-up, for example, of Israel-Arab conflicts, which have always been receiving much attention in the world media:
Arab -Israeli Wars
I (1947-49): 6,373 Israeli and 15,000 Arabs die
II (1956): 231 Israeli and 3,000 Egyptians die
III (1967): 776 Israeli and 20,000 Arabs die
IV (1973): 2,688 Israeli and 18,000 Arabs die
Intifida I (1987-92): 170 Israelis and 1,000 Palestinians
Intifida II (2000-03): 700 Israelis and 2,000 Palestinians

Honesty in Islam

Islam orders the Muslim to be honest to himself and others. This order repeatedly comes in the Noble Qur’an and the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). Islam orders the Muslim to tell the truth even if it is against the teller’s interest. Orders him not to cheat or deceive other people. A Muslim is ordered by Allah to be honest in his words and deeds, privately and publicly alike.

Implication of Honesty:

Honesty in words implies telling the truth in all cases and under all conditions. Honesty also implies fulfilling the promise, whether written or given orally, in text and spirit. Honesty also implies giving the right advice to the one who asks for it.

Honesty also implies doing one’s work as sincerely and as perfectly as possible. Honesty also implies carrying out duties as fully as possible whether the person is supervised or not. Honesty means giving every person his due rights without his asking for these rights.

Honesty means doing the…

right thing in the right way at the right time. Honesty means objectivity in judgment, objectivity in evaluation, and objectivity in decisions of all types. Honesty implies the right selection of personnel and the right promotion of personnel, i.e., selection by merit and promotion by merit, not by temper or favouritism or personal relations.

Honesty is a blanket term that covers a wide range of traits. It covers telling the truth, sincerity in work, carrying out duties, fulfilling one’s word, objective judgments, and objective decisions. Honesty is the opposite of lying, the opposite of bluffing, the opposite of hypocrisy, the opposite of favouritism, and the opposite of deceit.

Blast at Damascus mosque kills 5 security personnel, several wounded

7 September 2012 / AP, DAMASCUS

A bomb went off outside a mosque in Damascus on Friday, killing at least five policemen and wounding others, the latest violence in the capital, once the impregnable stronghold of President Bashar Assad's regime.

The bomb exploded in the northern neighborhood of Rukneddine as worshippers were leaving the Rukniyeh mosque after Friday prayers.
Syrian TV said five policemen were killed, and an official at the scene told The Associated Press that six died. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
An Associated Press reporter at the scene said the bomb went off across the street from the mosque and damaged a clinic as well as six cars. Officials said the bomb was placed on a motorcycle.
The brick wall over the entrance of the clinic collapsed, and blood could be seen on the wall and in the street.
In recent months, the Syrian capital has been hit by a string of bombings.
Last Sunday, two bombs exploded in Damascus near the offices of the Syrian military's joint chiefs of staff, slightly wounding four army officers and damaging buildings and cars.
Syrian uprising against Assad began in March last year, when protests calling for political change met a violent government crackdown.

Many in the opposition have since taken up arms as the conflict has transformed into a civil war that activists say has killed more than 23,000 people. The government says more than 4,000 security officers are among the dead.
Earlier on Friday, activists reported clashes between troops and opposition forces in a southern Damascus neighborhood.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Local Coordination Committees had no immediate word on casualties from Friday's clashes in Kazaz, which is a tightly controlled area, home to offices of several Syrian security agencies.
For more than a year after the uprising against Assad's rule began, Damascus stayed relatively quiet. Then in July, the opposition launched a bold attack, capturing several neighborhoods.
Government forces have regained control of most of them.
The Observatory reported many arrests in the town of Tel Chehab on the border with Jordan, recaptured by troops on Thursday.
Activists said the attack aimed to stem the flood of people fleeing Syria's civil war. Several thousand refugees were in the town when the Syrian military moved in. It was not known what has happened to them.

Obama urges Americans not to give up on him

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzMpaJPwvwA&feature=player_embedded

Barack Obama urged wavering supporters not to give up on their dreams of change -- or on him -- as he accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for president in what promises to be a tough race against Republican Mitt Romney. 

Obama used his nationally televised speech on Thursday closing out the Democratic National Convention to try to recapture the excitement that powered his first run for the presidency.

With just two months before election day, Obama needs to win over undecided voters, especially those who had been swayed by his inspiring message of hope and change in 2008, but have grown disillusioned after years of economic weakness and persistent political bickering.

"The election four years ago wasn't about me. It was about you," he said. "My fellow citizens- you were the change."

One dead, several missing after migrant boat sinks off Italy

7 September 2012 / REUTERS, ROME

At least one man died and dozens of people were missing after a boat carrying Tunisian migrants sank off the southern Italian island of Lampedusa, a coastguard spokesman said on Friday.

Coastguards rescued 56 people, including a pregnant woman, after the migrants telephoned the emergency services overnight to say their boat had run into trouble close to the tiny island of Lampione west of Lampedusa, the spokesman said.
Rescue workers pulled the body of one man from the sea early on Friday, he said.
 According to survivor accounts, there were about 100 migrants on the boat when it ran into difficulties about 12 nautical miles off Lampedusa. The coastguard spokesman said rescue workers were searching for the missing.

 Last year tens of thousands of refugees and would-be migrants arrived in Lampedusa during the Arab Spring revolutions in North Africa, setting off a crisis that threatened to overwhelm the tiny island. Migrant flows have eased this year following the ouster of long-time rulers in Libya and Tunisia.
Italy has borne the brunt of clandestine seaborne migration to southern Europe which has ebbed and flowed for several years.
Most migrants risk the dangerous voyage across the Mediterranean Sea in small, overcrowded fishing boats, and thousands have died as a result of shipwreck, harsh conditions at sea or lack of food and water.

Lampedusa lies south of Sicily and about 130 km (80 miles) east of Tunisia, the closest point on the north African coast.

US designating Haqqani network as terrorists

7 September 2012 / REUTERS, VLADIVOSTOK

The Obama administration has formally designated the Pakistan-based Haqqani network as a foreign terrorist organization, US officials said Friday, in a complicated political decision as the US withdraws from Afghanistan and pushes for a reconciliation pact to end more than a decade of warfare.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton signed a report to Congress on Friday morning just before leaving Brunei for regional meetings in Russia. The report states that the Pakistan-based Haqqani network "meets the statutory criteria for designation as a foreign terrorist organization," said a US official, speaking on condition of anonymity because congressional notifications were still going on.
Enraged by a string of high-profile attacks on US and NATO troops, Congress gave Clinton a Sunday deadline to deliver a report on whether the Haqqanis should be designated and all of its members subjected to US financial sanctions. Clinton's decision comes amid numerous disagreements within the administration about the utility of the designation.
The US already has placed sanctions on many Haqqani leaders and is targeting its members militarily but it had held back from formally designating the al-Qaida-linked network a terrorist group amid concerns about hampering peace efforts in Afghanistan and US relations with Pakistan.
The US long has branded the Haqqanis among the biggest threats to American and allied forces in Afghanistan, and to Afghanistan's long-term stability. A subsidiary of the Taliban, it is based in northern Pakistan but crosses the border to launch attacks, including a rocket-propelled grenade assault on the US Embassy and NATO compound in Kabul in September.
But the group's increasingly prominent role in the insurgency and its close links to Pakistan's intelligence service complicate matters.
The Obama administration has been trying to coax Afghanistan's fighting groups into peace talks, offering the prospect of a Qatar-based political office for insurgents and even the transfer of several prisoners being held at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Negotiations have been dormant for months, and the Haqqanis have been among the least interested in talking.
A senior Pakistani intelligence official said the Obama administration's decision could hurt US-Pakistan relations and negatively impact the ongoing peace process with the Taliban. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The group also has enjoyed a close relationship with Pakistan. The US and its often reluctant counterterrorism ally have been at loggerheads over the Haqqanis for years, with Washington accusing Islamabad of giving the network a free hand in the remote North Waziristan region and even providing it with some logistical support.
Pakistan says that its forces are stretched thin in fighting an insurgency that already has killed more than 30,000 people and that it cannot also take on the Haqqanis. Many analysts attribute the military's reluctance to its historical ties to the Haqqani network's founder, Jalaluddin Haqqani, and an assessment that the group can be an important ally in Afghanistan after US forces withdraw in 2014.
Congress wanted action. In July, it set a deadline to prod the administration into imposing blanket sanctions on the group by designating it a foreign terrorist organization
US officials cited disagreements about the designation. Some favored it, while others worried that it could elevate the Haqqanis from their current status as an amorphous, tribal movement. That could end up hurting counterterrorism efforts by increasing their appeal among would-be jihadists.
One option under consideration was that the State Department would announce its intention to declare the Haqqani network as a terrorist body, while leaving more time for all the legal hurdles involved in making such a designation. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss confidential evaluations.
Clinton has stressed that the administration was already pressuring the Haqqanis.
"We are drying up their resources, we are targeting their military and intelligence personnel and we are pressing the Pakistanis to step up their own efforts," she said.
Last month, the US scored a major counterterror success when an unmanned drone strike in Pakistan near the Afghan border killed one of Jalaluddin Haqqani's sons, Badruddin.
Badruddin was considered a vital part of the Haqqani structure.
The State Department said in May 2011 that Badruddin Haqqani sat on the Miram Shah Shura, a group that controls all Haqqani network activities and coordinates attacks in southeastern Afghanistan. It also blamed him for the 2008 kidnapping of New York Times reporter David Rohde.
Jalaluddin Haqqani created his network while serving as a leader in the decade-long insurgency against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, which began in 1979. He developed extensive foreign contacts, getting money, weapons and supplies from Pakistani intelligence, which in turn received billions of dollars from the US and Saudi Arabia.
He served as Afghanistan's justice minister after the Soviets left, and minister of tribal and border affairs after Taliban fundamentalists seized power in 1996. He joined the Taliban insurgency when the US helped overthrow the regime after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Haqqani effectively retired in 2005, passing responsibility for day-to-day operations to his son Sirajuddin, who is accused of expanding the network's kidnapping and extortion operations. Reports also accuse the Haqqanis of lucrative drug trafficking and smuggling activity.
The US already has designated Haqqani and his sons individually as terrorists.
