Islamic Revival

Republicans scared of Muslims participating in the American political system Four House Republicans on Wednesday accused the nation's largest Muslim advocacy group of trying to "infiltrate" Capitol Hill by placing interns in the offices of lawmakers who handle national security issues. The four lawmakers, members of the anti-terror caucus, asked for an investigation into the Council on American Islamic Relations after discovering an internal memo noting the group's strategy. They also highlighted a new book by Paul Sperry titled "Muslim Mafia," scheduled for release on Thursday, which claims the group has been actively infiltrating Congress.Reps. Sue Myrick of North Carolina , Trent Franks of Arizona , Paul Broun of Georgia and John Shadegg of Arizona asked the Internal Revenue Service to determine whether CAIR deserves its nonprofit status. They also are asking their colleagues to review a summary of findings that led the Justice Department to name CAI

This article is written by brother Abid Mustafa Many have interrupted Obama's recent proclamation to suspend deployment of US missile shield components to Poland and the Czech Republic as proof that finally America is serious about recasting its relations with Russia in a more positive light. However, subsequent statements by members of Obama's administration about future plans for missile defense dubbed ‘phased adaptive approach' are likely to forestall warming of ties between Moscow and Washington. For instance in a New York Times opinion piece, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates criticized his detractors for describing the new plan as "distorted as some sort of concession to Russia". He further emphasized that the new proposals would bolster European security. "We are strengthening-not scrapping-missile defense in Europe," he wrote. Away from the public bickering over the effectiveness of the phased adaptive approach, one cannot help but notice that Am

Study finds Muslim population is 1.57billion A report from an American think-tank has estimated 1.57 billion Muslims populate the world - with 60% in Asia . The report, by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, took three years to compile, with census data from 232 countries and territories. It showed that 20% of Muslims lived in the Middle East and North Africa . The data also showed that there were more Muslims in Germany than in Lebanon , and more in Russia than in Jordan and Libya together. Senior researcher Brian Grim told CNN that the overall figure was a surprise and said: "Overall, the number is higher than I expected." The report found that more than 300 million Muslims live in countries where Islam was not the majority religion. Of the total Muslim population, 10-13% are Shia Muslims and 87-90% are Sunni Muslims. Most Shias live in Iran , Pakistan , India and Iraq . Europe is home to 38 million Muslims - around 5% of its population with European Muslims makin

The news is unfortunately filled with stories of how Muslims are killing Muslims. Most recently, this has occurred in Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan and also in Palestine. We cannot use violence to resolve disputes with our brothers in the Ummah, as Allah (swt) has made it haram. We must abide by the Shariah when resolving our disputes. Ultimately, we must work to establish the Khilafah and appoint an Amir over us who will implement the justice of Islam. InshAllah, the Khaleefah will be proactive in ensuring our unity and resolving disputes if they are to arise. The Associated Press reported that fighting between two rival groups in Somalia resulted in the death of 12 people. The article alleges that Al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam fought each other for the control of Kismayo; a port city in Somalia. The breakout of violence in Somalia, where Muslims are kill-ing Muslims, is part of a disturbing trend that we are witness-ing in the Muslim world. In Pakistan, we have seen the fight-ing of the Paki

The following is the draft english translation from the Usul Al-Fiqh masterpiece of the Arabic book الشخصية الاسلاميَة الجزء الثالث (The Islamic Personality Volume 3 ) by Sheikh Taqiuddin an-Nabhani. Please refer to the original Arabic for accurate meanings. Islam (being Muslim) is not a condition for legal responsibility [taklīf] with respect to the legal rulings, except for a ruling about which a text specifies that it is for Muslims, either explicitly [sarahatan], like, «يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ» “O you who believe, fear Allah…” [al-Imrān: 102], and « جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ» “Strive against the disbelievers…” [at-Taubah: 73]; and «وَلَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلًا» “And Allah will never allow the disbelievers to have authority over the believers” [an-Nisa’: 141]; or by denotation [dalalatan], like the exemption of the kuffar from something, like the salāt, thereby indicating that Islam is a condition in that act. Therefore Isl

Is Europe about to be overrun by Muslims? A number of prominent European, American politicians and journalists seem to think so. The historian Niall Ferguson has predicted that “a youthful Muslim society to the south and east of the Mediterranean is poised to colonize a senescent Europe ”. And according to Christopher Caldwell, an American columnist with the Financial Times, Muslims are already “conquering Europe ’s cities, street by street”. So what if Muslims account for only 3 percent to 4 percent of the EU’s total population of 493 million? In his book Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Can Europe Be the Same With Different People in It? - Caldwell writes: “Of course minorities can shape countries. Another worry is the growing Muslim population in Europe . Caldwell claims in his book, “have a long track record of underestimating their vulnerability to ‘primitive’ ones”. As the London Daily Telegraph, quoting Caldwell, asserted last weekend, Britain and the EU have simply ign
