Message 1 Mother
Allah says:“Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save Him, and (that ye show) kindness to parents. If one of them or
both of them to attain old age with thee, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word.
And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy, and say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both as they
did care for me when I was little”. (Surah Bani Isra’el (17); Ayah # 23~24)
Umar Ibn al-Khattab related that some prisoners were brought before Allah’s Messenger and amongst them was a woman who was frantically searching for someone in the crowd. When she found a baby amongst the prisoners, she took it in her arms, cradled it next to her chest and suckled it. So Allah's Messenger said: "Do you think that this woman would ever throw her child into the fire?" We said: 'By Allah, Never!' So he said: "Allah is more merciful to His believing servants than that mother could ever be to her child." [Sahih Al Bukhari & Sahih Muslim]
Hold fast to the qualities enjoined by our religion and keep to the path of our Noble Prophet so that we may prosper in this life and in the life Hereafter.
May Allah forgive us for our shortcomings and may He
guide us (Aameen!)
If she’s still around, never forget to love her more than ever…
And if she’s not , remember her unconditional love and pass it
On……Always remember to love thy mother, because you only have one mother in your lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!
Message 2
Bollywood has launched multiple vicious attacks against Islam and Muslims which are still continuing to this very day, and it is with these very films that we lead ourselves and our families astray. What is even more shameful is the fact that we help fund these ugly attacks against us and Islam as well.

May Allah guide us all, ameen.

Hearings for Defense nominee Robert Gates are today. Gates has said "that he supported Bush's decision to invade in 2003 and that leaving Iraq 'in chaos' would harm U.S. interests for many years. Beyond that he has not said how the U.S. might get Iraq moving in the right direction."

CNN's John Roberts called the situation in Iraq an "absolute mess" and said the media has "sanitized" their coverage of the violence. "The amount of death that's on the streets of Baghdad for U.S. forces and for the Iraqi people is at an astronomical level," Roberts said.

Yesterday on Fox News, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) "accused a Fox News anchor of conducting a skewed interview designed to make Democrats look bad." Frank told Chris Wallace, "Everything [you say] is aimed at trying to put us in a kind of a bad light." Asked how fair Fox is when compared to other news outlets, Frank said the network is "substantially worse."

US military tells Jack Bauer: Cut out the torture scenes ... or else! : .

The US military has appealed to the producers of 24 to tone down the torture scenes because of the impact they are having both on troops in the field and America's reputation abroad. Forget about Abu Ghraib, forget about Guantanamo Bay, forget even that the White House has authorised interrogation techniques that some classify as torture, that damned Jack Bauer is giving us a bad name.
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article2264632.ece

related:
MILITARY -- U.S. MILITARY CONCERNED THAT TV SERIES '24' IS PROMOTING TORTURE IN THE RANKS: On Monday, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point "confirmed that Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan recently travelled to California to meet producers of the show, broadcast on the Fox channel. He told them that promoting illegal behaviour in the series -- apparently hugely popular among the US military -- was having a damaging effect on young troops." Numerous conservative pundits have cited 24 as a sanction for harsh interrogation practices. For example, radio host Laura Ingraham has said that the "average American out there loves the show 24. OK? They love Jack Bauer. They love 24. In my mind that's close to a national referendum that it's OK to use tough tactics against high-level Al Qaeda operatives as we're going to get." In a recent interview, actor Keifer Sutherland -- who plays the lead character Jack Bauer on the show -- noted, "You torture someone and they'll basically tell you exactly what you want to hear, whether it's true or not, if you put someone in enough pain," he said. U.S. intelligence officials have said that torture is extremely ineffective. Lt. Gen. John Kimmons, the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence has said, "I am absolutely convinced...no good intelligence is going to come from abusive practices. I think history tells us that. I think the empirical evidence of the last five years, hard years, tell us that." David Danzig, the head of Human Rights First argued that unfortunately, the "image of the U.S. and its military [being involved in torture] is being affirmed" by the torture practices employed in the show. Undoubtedly, the Vice President's sanction of tactics such as waterboarding also contributes to that image.

“A Poor Player That STRUTS & FRETS His / Her Hour Upon the Stage & Then Is Heard NO More; It is a Tale Told By An IDIOT, Full of SOUND & FURY, Signifying NOTHING.” (Macbeth Act V, Scene 5)
Silencing the False Propaganda of Irshad Manji

www.ExamineTheTruth .com

http://www.examinet hetruth.com/ manjism/Irshad_ Manji_propaganda .htm

Out of hate and ignorance, the Western media have declared a vicious propaganda war against the religion of Islam by promoting Irshad Manji’s polemics. Irshad Manji’s attacks against the Quran and her evil depiction of Muslims have been multiplied and propagated all over the world.

I believe I speak for the vast majority of Muslims when I say that I am deeply saddened at this type of response from the West. We wished very much to build bridges and engage in fruitful dialogue to discuss the relevant issues pertaining to Islam, rather than propaganda.

Irshad Manji’s polemics have all but been declared the *true* version of Islam by the West, and is now being shoved down the throats of one billion Muslims.

But, if you think that the Western media will give equal time for qualified Muslims to present a counter view or to at least defend their religion from Irshad Manji’s smears, you can forget it. Only like minded or “progressive”, “Uncle Tom” Muslims are allowed by the media to represent Islam, even though these people are condemned and loathed by the overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world.

But, we at ExamineTheTruth. com have a few tricks up our sleeves as we decided to meet Irshad’s mighty propaganda machine head on and expose the lies and deception of her “project Ijtihad”:

“Homosexuality is NOT a Human Right. If It WAS How Come God Almighty Has EXPLICITLY Stated That It is ONE of the Abominable SINS. If We ACCEPT It as a Human Right We Have to DEMAND An APOLOGY from God Almighty for SODOM & GOMORRAH.” – AB
Islam's View On Homosexuality:

Exposing the gross ignorance of Irshad Manji

www.ExamineTheTruth .com
http://www.examinet hetruth.com/ manjism/homosexu ality.htm

Irshad Manji stated in her book, The trouble with Islam:

The first question is, "How do you reconcile homosexuality with Islam?"... pg. 23

I was plunged into serious doubt of introspection, even flirting with the possibility of finally giving up Islam for the sake of love. Hey, what better motive is there to sacrifice anything? Pg. 24

After reading through Manji's rants, it finally dawned on me. She has no clue what Islam teaches regarding homosexuality! Perhaps if Irshad knew, she would take a different approach. Therefore, let me school Irshad. Homosexuality is clearly identified as a sin in the Quran. But, that does not mean that if a person is a practicing homosexual, he/she will burn in hell eternally. Rather, all Muslims, including homosexuals, are guaranteed heaven. But, as a result of our sins, we may, or may not, experience a TEMPORARY punishment:

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 21:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "When the people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of Hell will go to Hell, Allah will order those who have had faith equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed to be taken out from Hell. So they will be taken out but (by then) they will be blackened (charred). Then they will be put in the river of Haya' (rain) or Hayat (life) (the Narrator is in doubt as to which is the right term), and they will revive like a grain that grows near the bank of a flood channel. Don't you see that it comes out yellow and twisted"

Book 001, Number 0355:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: Verily the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Allah will admit into Paradise those deserving of Paradise, and He will admit whom He wishes out of His Mercy, and admit those condemned to Hell into the Fire (of Hell). He would then say: See, he whom you find having as much faith in his heart as a grain of mustard, bring him out. They will then be brought out burned and turned to charcoal, and would be cast into the river of life, and they would sprout aj does a seed in the silt carried away by flood. Have you not seen that it comes out yellow (fresh) and intertwined?

Therefore, there is no such dilemma of “either Islam or homosexuality” , because a person can be both homosexual and Muslim, and all homosexuals that have faith will go to heaven, but they may or may not spend a temporary time in hell. A person may also experience punishment in the grave, or they may even experience punishment in this life, as a result of their sins. This is not just a reality for homosexuals, but for all Muslims, including myself. It must also be pointed out, that it is also possible for God to forgive a person of all their sins and therefore not experience any punishment.

As Irshad Manji stated in her book:

I was plunged into serious doubt of introspection, even flirting with the possibility of finally giving up Islam for the sake of love. Hey, what better motive is there to sacrifice anything? pg. 24

If this is the case, then continue with your homosexual lifestyle, but also continue doing good deeds and repent to Allah:

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 38:

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the nights." (See Fath-ul-Bari, Page 102, Vol 1).

And finally, Allah said in The Noble Quran:

Say: "O 'Ibâdî (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, verily Allâh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Az-Zumar 39:53)

This verse shows Allah’s attribute that he is able to forgive all sins, but again, it is not guaranteed. Although, we must never despair in Allah’s mercy. But a word of caution, one of the prerequisites of receiving Allah’s forgiveness is that we must hide our sins, and not flaunt them all over the country and on our website. In addition to that, we should all try to hide our brothers and sister’s sins and not make them public(*), and Allah knows best.

First They Came for the EXTREMIST, FUNDAMENTALIST & MODERATE Muslims. And I DIDN’T Speak Out Because I Wasn't An Extremist, Fundamentalist or a Moderate Muslim. Then FINALLY They Came for Me the NON-PRACTICING Muslim And NO Muslims Were Left to Speak Out for ME.
