1. Lynne Stewart's appeal is coming up.
A grandmother who has spent her life in defending the oppressed and the downtrodden, fought for the rights of the illustrious Islamic scholar Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman pro bono. Her release of the Blind Shaikh's message to the Egyptian people was seen as a terroristic act by the US. The Egyptian tyrant Hosni Mubarak is a close ally of the US, second only to Israel.
Support Lynne Stewart. Remember Hafize Qur'an Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman.
Keep in touch. [Ignore the brackets.]

2. Dr. Aafia Siddiqui will be sentenced by a New York court on September 23. Dr. Aafia was kidnapped by US-Pakistani special forces. Her case has become a national cause in Pakistan. On September 17, the Pak Interior Minister pleaded with the US to send her back to Pakistan to alleviate anti-US feelings. The Pakistani embassy is said to have spent $10 million in her defense to no avail.
Br. Mauri Saalakhan is doing a superb job of spreading the message of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. Please support his work. Check his CD on Dr. Aafia.
Fill the court room on 9.23: Judge Richard Berman has changed Dr Aafia's sentencing date from August 16, 2010 to September 23, 2010 at 9:00 AM in the Federal Court Building at 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan, New York.
3. Homaidan al-Turki: US Muslims are bringing the case of this Saudi student back to light. Looks like this young man, a PhD student in linguistics, was railroaded. The facts of the case are as follows:
· Homaidan is deeply dedicated to Islam and as a student in Colorado was doing da'wa, distributing Islamic literature through his publishing house.
· He has strong support in the Muslim communities of Colorado and they packed the court during the trial.
· He has a wife, who loves him, and five children
· He has a clean record as a family man and has a good academic record.
· Since 1995, US intelligence services had been shadowing him. They saw him as an Islamic militant. After 9.11, the anti-Muslim feeling, especially against Saudis, hardened.
· It appears that the FBI was studying al-Turki as a potential terrorist but could find nothing against him. Hence they decided to destroy him in a way which would not only put him in prison but would alienate his Muslim supporters.
· They started interrogating his maid, Zulaikha, from Indonesia. The family had brought her all the way to USA and she was very happy.
· The FBI kept interrogating Zulaikha. She soon realized that they wanted to bring charges of sexual molestation and "slavery" against al-Turki.
· She resisted the FBI through ELEVEN interrogations and refused all attempts to make sexual allegations against al-Turki.
· During the 12th interrogation, looks like she broke down and "admitted" to all that the FBI wanted her to say.
· Hence in 2006, Homaidan Al-Turki was sentenced to 26 years in prison. The maid received papers to stay and work in the US. Charges of illegal stay in the US were dropped against her.
· Homaidan's wife had also been arrested but the husband and wife agreed that she should accept a plea bargain against him so that the children would have at least one parent.
· On her return to Saudi Arabia, the wife categorically denounced the mock trial. The maid too has been contacting the family to apologize for the betrayal she was part of.
· During the trial, there were vicious attacks on Islam by way of trivialization of the Islamic dress code. The wife, the daughters and the maid all wore the strict Islamic clothing prevalent in Saudi Arabia. The US government took the line that Islamic clothing oppresses and subjugates women and that the clothing was one way of "enslaving" the maid.
· Homaidan rejected all the charges of sexual immorality brought against him. He said that the maid had been treated like his daughter.
· With the stereotyping of women in Islam, especially in Saudi Arabia, which is prevalent in the US media, the jury accepted the maid's story and convicted al-Turki without any evidence. No DNA, nothing.
· The wife of Homaidan has spoken out very strongly, al-hamdulillah, and his case is now supported by millions of people in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
· Let the voice of Homaidan be heard. The media have censored him, the Zionists enjoyed it, and CAIR etc covered it up as soon as possible.
· A committee has been set up to bring back the case and to defend Homaidan. Let's join hands for justice.
· The address: JUSTICE for HOMAIDAN al-TURKI, P.O. Box 10402, Greensboro, North Carolina 27404

Our America: Israel will be defeated, inshallah.
Unusual Program about Zionism at Lincoln University. Students must learn "context."
Dr. Siddique responds to questions about "his" anti-Israel Video
On September 16, 2010 an unusual event sponsored by Dr. Leaman of the Religion Department took place at Lincoln University. Dr. Kaukab Siddique was invited to respond to an email sent to Lincoln university professors which included a video showing Dr. Siddique calling for the destruction of Israel, by peaceful means if possible. Dr. Leaman's and Dr. Siddique's students attended the 80 minute session and asked a range of questions after watching the video.
Dr. Leaman began the program with a chronological power point presentation about the history and development of Zionism which showed the emergence of Zionism as a tiny Jewish movement which became the mainstream of Jews after Israel was successfully established in Palestine. Dr. Leaman indicated the population of Jews and Arabs in Palestine before Israel took over.
The following is a summary of the points made by Dr. Siddique:
· Islam does not permit Muslims to fight Jews or Christians because they are Jews or Christians. "There is no compulsion in religion," says the Qur'an.
· Muslims can't fight Christians because Muslims love Jesus, pbuh, and believe that he brought the truth.
· Muslims can't fight Jews because Muslims love Moses, pbuh, and he is part of the Islamic belief system.
· Throughout history Muslims have protected Jews and stood in their defense against the Crusaders from Europe.
· All the wars being fought today are being fought in Muslim lands. Muslims are not trying to take over any non-Muslim country.
· Criticism of wrong doing is part of truth telling. The New Testament, for instance, is very critical of the Jews who insisted on crucifying Jesus, pbuh. The New Testament is not anti-Semitic. It criticizes the wrong doing of the Jews, not their race.
· My criticism of Israel is based not on hatred of Jews but on facts which cannot be denied.
· Israel has occupied Palestine by force of arms.
· Israel has committed genocide. There are four million Palestinian refugees.
· Even a gentle person like President Carter, who recognizes Israel, has compared Israeli occupation in the settlements to Apartheid.
· At this very moment, the ENTIRE POPULATION of GAZA is de facto in a concentration camp ruled by Israel and denied basic facilities of life.
· CONTEXT: Education requires understanding of context. Events do not happen in a vacuum.
· My speech on September 3 [al-Quds day rally] was cut up and sent without context to professors at Lincoln in the Zionist hope that my colleagues would turn against me.
· Why did this "video" emerge in such a defamatory fashion.? One important reason is that the major media do not accept ANY criticism of Israel and do not invite me to express the in depth rationale of my analysis of Israel.
· The emergence of this truncated video indicates that the Zionists now want to censor small and unpublicized gatherings of their opponents.
· Israel has been so heavily armed by the US that it commits aggression routinely.
· ALL OF AFRICA receives fewer funds from the US than does tiny Israel.
· A peaceful end to Israel is possible if the US stops its funds and weapons to this aggressor entity.
· Muslims are very kind to defeated people. We will not slaughter the Israelis after they are defeated. We will send them back to the countries they came from with all the travel facilities they will need.
· [Some questions were asked about 9.11.]
· I do not believe in conspiracy theories. Nineteen men attacked the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and four US airliners on 9.11. They wrought havoc which traumatized America.
· The Nineteen have gone to the other world. There is no point in attempts to punish the 1.8 billion Muslims globally for 9.11. War is not the answer. The Muslims will resist.
· Why did 9.11 happen? I don't know. Perhaps there should be a more thorough inquiry into the attacks.
· Did conflict begin on 9.11? We forget that before 9.11, the US imposed the most horrific embargo and sanctions on Iraq which resulted in the slow death of ONE MILLON Iraqis over ten years [according to UN figures] including 500,000 children. The US had also encircled the holy cities of Makka and Madinah. Terrible tyrants like Hosni Mubarak of Egypt were supported by the US and Israel. Was 9.11 the response to these tragedies? I don't know but we all need to find out.
· Should Americans feel threatened by terrorists? This is the most powerful country in the world and its Islamic opponents have neither tanks, nor artillery nor air force nor intelligence services. We should not live in fear.
· The way to PEACE is through COMMUNICATION with those who oppose America.
· A sure way to PEACE is through acceptance of the Right of Self-Determination for all peoples. Muslim nations have the right to live according to Islam.
[During the Lincoln program, when the video showed Dr. Siddique urging Muslims, in the words of the Qur'an, to "drive them out from where they drove you out, a part of the non-Muslim audience, African Americans, cheered.]

War News: All from Sept. 18.
Palestine: Israeli troops forced the brother of Iyad Shilbaya, late at night, to lead them to him. He was asleep. They shot him three times and killed. He was described as an Islamic "militant."

Somalia: Al-Shabab mujahideen captured two radio stations in Mogadishu which were used for anti-Islamic propaganda by the western enclave. Mujahideen radio has replaced them.

Afghanistan: In areas encircled by US and Karzai forces "elections" were held by America. Pro-Karzai people admit that it was a farce and was based on large sums of money injected by the US into its support groups. Taliban attacks thwarted "elections" from being held in the South, South West, and Eastern areas of Afghanistan.
[Editor's note: Under international law, elections held under military occupation have no validity. India regularly carries out this farce in Kashmir as did the US in Iraq and Russia in Chechnya.]

In the original areas of the floods, JI distributed Rs. 50,000,000 worth of goods and food before it started its latest drive.
In a mark of great confidence and trust, a Sikh delegation which had collected Rs. 1,000,000 worth of relief supplies, handed them over to Jamaate Islami for distribution.

International Aspect of Moves against US Muslims by Secularist Pakistani.
[The following report is about Mr. Hussain, a member of MQM, an anti-Islamic clique which rules Karachi, Pakistan. Mr. Hussain was a personal friend of Benazir Bhutto. Mr. Hussain is evidently a Shi'ite who like some Pakistani Shi'ites dislikes other Muslims. His activities have helped the FBI to trap US Muslims, particularly the poor and uneducated like the four African Americans in this report. - Ed. New Trend. ]
Bomb-Plot Informant Testifies FBI Sent Him to Terrorist Camp in Pakistan
By Chris Dolmetsch - Sep 16, 2010 [Courtesy Bloomberg News, for non-commercial use.]
The confidential informant at the center of the case against four men accused of plotting to bomb New York City synagogues testified that the Federal Bureau of Investigation sent him to Pakistan in 2008 to attend a terrorist training camp.The informant, Shahed Hussain, told a jury in New York today he went to his native country in December of that year to meet someone at the camp. He didn't identify the organization running the camp or discuss the result of the investigation. "Are you a terrorist?" defense lawyer Susanne Brody asked Hussain in cross-examination. "No ma'am," he responded.
Hussain was testifying during the second day of cross- examination by Brody, a lawyer with the federal public defender's office who is representing defendant Onta Williams. Defense attorneys have argued that their clients are the victims of entrapment, poor men enticed into the plot with the promise of cars, cash and food by Hussain.
The lawyers for the men have tried to portray Hussain as a habitual liar who misled officials on applications for political asylum, documents relating to his fraud case and statements to parole officers. Hussain said he comes from a family that owned businesses in Pakistan including restaurant chains and a construction- supply company. One of his cars was a gift from former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in the early 2000s, while she was in exile in the U.S. and staying in Manhattan, he testified.
Gift From Bhutto
Bhutto, a family friend and neighbor in Karachi, invited him to the hotel to meet him and gave him $40,000 cash to buy the car for his son. Hussain said he was a member of the MQM party that represents people who emigrated from India at the time of Pakistan's independence in 1947.
The trial of Williams, 34, James Cromitie, 44, David Williams, 29, and Laguerre Payen, 28, all of Newburgh, New York, began Aug. 23 before Judge Colleen McMahon in federal court in Lower Manhattan.
Bombing Plot
The men are accused of plotting to bomb a synagogue and Jewish community center in the Bronx section of New York City and fire heat-seeking missiles at military planes at Stewart International Airport in Newburgh. The charges include conspiracy and attempted use of weapons of mass destruction in the U.S. They face as long as life in prison if convicted of the most serious charges.
Hussain testified that he left Pakistan with his wife and children with less than $2,000, using fake British passports to go to Moscow and Mexico before entering the U.S. in 1994 through El Paso, Texas. He made his way to Albany, New York, where he began working at a service station while applying for political asylum, he said. He later bought a station next to a state Department of Motor Vehicles office. He went to work for the department as a translator. In January 2003 he was arrested in an FBI sting after a friend offered him $1,000 to help obtain an illegal driver's license.
Guilty Plea
Hussain pleaded guilty to one count of attempted unlawful transfer of an identification document in April 2003 and was sentenced to five years' probation, he testified. He agreed to work as an informant with federal prosecutors in Albany, helping on about 21 cases including money laundering and credit card fraud, and his probation was later ended, he said. Hussain said he posed as a member of the Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaishe-e-Mohammad who needed to launder money from weapons sales. The FBI sting in 2004 led to prison sentences for a pizzeria owner and the imam of a mosque in Albany, he testified.
In 2007, he began working with the FBI in White Plains, New York. He said. It sent him to mosques to pose as a wealthy businessman, he said. At a mosque in Newburgh, he met one of the defendants, Cromitie, in June 2008, he testified. Three months later, the FBI sent him to the training camp in Pakistan, he said. Next he went to mosques in England seeking "people who were expressing radical ideas," he said.
Back to U.S.
He returned to the U.S. in February 2009 and resumed working on the Cromitie case, which culminated in the arrest of the four men in a coordinated FBI sting outside the Bronx synagogue on May 20, 2009. He said he has received about $500,000 from a family trust fund since 1996, including more than $200,000 in 2003 to pay debts relating to a bankruptcy that year. The case is U.S. v. Cromitie, 09-cr-00558, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Letter:
Reader Worries about New Trend's Report on Nigeria's Islamic Movement Boko Haram
assalaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Beloved Dr. Kaukab Siddique, I most respectfully wish to inform your noble person for the dignity of the truth and destiny of the course of Islam.
Sir, the Nigerian rebel group "boko haram",however sincere their intention to practice Islam are not doing well at all to represent the deen as they should. Their name means; "studies or reading or learning from any other book other than the holy Qur'an is haram." is that what [New] "Trend" advocates or stand for? They consider all Muslims who don't believe the way they do as "kuffaar" and "mushrikeen".
i believe, bearing in mind the foregoing facts, you may endeavor, however possible, to admonish them to re-consider and review their way of thinking and believe which is not compatible to the deenil islam-----
al-Tigani b. Omar [Chicago]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shaikh Tigani walaikum asalam. The situation in Nigeria is worrisome. Corruption is rampant in the highest circles. The regime recognized Israel without consulting the people of Nigeria. Western powers and Christian missionaries have taken over many areas and the evils of materialism and tribalism are harming the nation. If AIDS starts spreading owing to European influences, we might face a disaster like that in South Africa. Boko Haram is led by people who have given up the DUNYA for the DEEN. The army, armed and funded by the US and Israel, slaughtered hundreds of Boko Haram activists, destroyed their mosques and martyred their leader. However, they are coming back. From what I have read, they consider those who follow the West as kafirs. They want Muslims to follow the Qur'an and Sunnah. Sufi'ism has failed to stop Anglo-American influences; hence the emergence of purely Islamic groups, somewhat like the Taliban, seems to be the Will of Allah, inshallah. You should talk to them and try to purify Sufism of western influences.
