The following is the English translation of the speech: "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh My dear brothers and sisters this time I will speak in Arabic because I want to convey a message on Al Masjid Al-Aqsa as my brother said that Masjid Al-Aqsa speaks only Arabic. I was there at Masjid Al-Aqsa quite recently. I prayed Jumu'a there and I claim that I listen well to Masjid Al-Aqsa so al Masjid Al-Aqsa says: Where are the men? Where are the armies? Where are the mujahidun in the path of Allah? Where is your Khilafah State, oh you Muslims! I hear lots of voices but I see no action, Al Masjid Al-Aqsa says Indeed my minbar (pu

Fighting to Establish the Islamic State Abstract: This study includes: 1- The opinions of Muslim writers around the thought of fighting to establish the Islamic State. 2- The evidence of those who allow or do not allow "fighting to establish the Islamic state" and its discussion showing the position we put forward. 3-Fighting to establish the Islamic state (by the ones who adopt this method), is it Jihad in the way of Allah by its shariah meaning?

The situation in Afghanistan is far worse than being portrayed by politicians and the media. It is important that we educate not only ourselves but also those around us as to the plight and suffering of our Muslim brothers and sisters. For some time, the Conservative government has been attempting to pass a motion to extend Canada’s mission in Afghanistan until the year 2011. With support from the Liberal government, this motion was passed and Canada is now dedicated to another 3 years of war that NDP defence critic Dawn Black described as, “…a futile mission that will achieve nothing but more broken lives." Defence Minister Peter MacKay would disagree with this assessment and has cited examples of achievement in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.

It is this enmity towards Islam that has compelled Western powers to be actively involved in the affairs of Pakistan, the most powerful of the Muslim states, unleashing unprecedented chaos and bloodshed in the country, whether in the form of bomb blasts in the maj
