Media Campaign to Humiliate the Muslims in their Religion

Once again the Muslims are exposed to a media campaign aimed at undermining their religion and humiliating them on the one hand, and spoiling their relationship with the people who live with them in the society from among the Non-Muslims on the other hand. The media has raised the issue of Muslims participating with the Christians in celebrating their festivals. Before clarifying the Shari'ah ruling on this issue and refuting such media campaign, we clearly say:        Firstly:  While Islam calls for justice and kindness in dealing with the general public and abiding by the Islamic values and morals under all circumstances, however it definitely prohibits the Muslims from celebrating the festivals which are related to the beliefs (doctrines) and religions of the Kuffar and there is no contradiction between the two matters. Secondly:  The Shari'ah rulings are not dependent on the whims and desires of the Kuffar – they are neither subject to their media pressures nor

India the "World's Largest Democratic country" Fails Its Women

On Friday 28th December 2012, the 23 year old Indian medical student who was the victim of a brutal assault and gang raped by six men on a bus in Delhi on the 16th of December 2012 died from her injuries. Her case sparked mass protests across India against the Indian police and government's negligence and lackadaisical attitude towards the protection of women from sexual violence. Rape is at epidemic levels, an everyday occurrence and the fastest growing crime in India, the world's largest democracy. Many sexual attacks go unreported due to large numbers of women having lost all faith in the system to protect their dignity as a consequence of the scale of the problem, a culture of impunity afforded to offenders by police, cases that drag on for years through the courts, and abysmal conviction rates. According to Al-Jazeera, a woman is raped every 20 minutes in India, and 24,000 rape cases were reported last year alone. The media outlet also reported that 80% of women in

O Muslims in Syria: The real battle is with the colonial West

The International Community does not account Bashar Assad for his crimes, as long as those he kills are Muslims On Sunday 23/12/2012 AD Lakhdar Brahimi arrived at Beirut airport, from Cairo, in a visit unannounced for security reasons. The media was not even allowed to hint about his mission. He travelled from Beirut to Damascus by land with complete confidentiality; where he was received by Faisal al-Miqdad, who would have accompanied him to the Sheraton Hotel to meet with the butcher Bashar Assad on Monday 24/12/2012, as reported by the media. It is noteworthy that Brahimi had threatened to abandon his mission if he was not received by the Ripper – after he had waited a long time without getting an answer. As to the purpose of the Brahimi visit, the French newspaper Le Figaro mentioned that he wanted to convey to President Bashar al-Assad American-Russian proposals that stipulate the formation of a transitional government composed of ministers acceptable to the two conflict

Campaign: Free Naveed Butt

International Campaign Website:  http://www.freenaveedbutt.com On the 11th May 2012 whilst bringing his children home from school, Naveed Butt, official spokesman for Hizb ut-Tahrir in Pakistan was confronted by a group of some ten or more men, some with the word security embossed on their t-shirts. In front of his frightened children he was bundled into an awaiting Suzuki van a standard vehicle used by the Pakistani Intelligence Service (ISI). This kind of abduction is a common practice used by the ISI to kidnap those who oppose and expose the corruption and servitude of the Pakistani government to the Americans. Naveed Butt has for many years been a staunch opponent of successive Pakistani governments and has espoused an alternative forward looking Islamic Khilafah system for Pakistan. It is obvious to those familiar with the threatening tactics of the Pakistani authorities that Naveed’s political views are the motivation behind his abduction. This website has been prima

India: Shabnam - the woman who was raped twice

The gruesome gang rape that happened recently in capital city New Delhi of India has knocked off the imagination of Indian Nation. The college going ‘girl’ was gang raped in a private bus. Six men, reportedly in a drunken state, are involved in the crime. The barbarity of the incident of shoving iron rod in the private organs of the girl has sent jitters down the spine of conscious young people in the country. This news perturbed me quite irately. I went on to pour condemnation messages all over social media, very emotionally until I remembered Shabnam. In north of Kashmir, a hamlet, Konan-Poshpora known for the ‘mass rape’ of some 62 women in early 1990’s by the Indian army, Shabnam was standing near the bus stop, when I arrived . Although in her late thirties, she was dim, her face pale and wrinkled. Every woman in the hamlet has a gruesome spine chilling story to share, but, Shabnam is a symbol of ‘existence’. She exists, quite plainly and different from the rest of the ‘mass’.
