quote "Ali is the best of all creations of Allah after Rasuallah Muhammad (saww). He is the first Imam of the Muslims. And I follow the other 11 Imams (peace be upn them all) from His Children." quote This is one of the major issues that separates shia from as. You believe that Ali(ra) and the other 10 imams + your last imaginary Imam who you say is still alive are greater then Prophets. Thats is big kufr in the eyes of ahlul-sunnah. We ahlul-sunnah believe that their is no one from the prophet Muhameds(saw) ummah who is better then any Prophet of Allah. We believe that Abu bakr(ra) was the best after the Prophet from this ummah and Umar(ra) was the second then Uthman(ra) then Ali(ra). Ahlul sunnah agree on that the four Al-Khulafa-ur Rashidun (The Rightly-Guided Caliphs) where the best from this ummah and non of them where superior then prophets. quoteAnd that Fatima, daugther of the Prophet of Islam, is the Chosen woman and the Mistress of all Women from the first till the last. She is symbol of Justice, truthfulnes, and freedom. She is far from all sorts of impurities. "quote "The best of the women of the world are four: Maryam Bint Imran, Asia Bint Muzahim, Khadija Bint Khowailid, and Fatima Bint Muhammad." But Maryam Bint Imran is with out doubt the best women of all. "Remember when the Angels said, " Oh Mary! Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of all Nations(Aalameen).

Its impossible for somaliland to be recognized and thats the reality some people dont want to realize. Number one all the six tribes who made treaties of protection with british in 1884,1885 and 1886 have to agree on the creation of somaliland state. And Number two the seventh tribe "Dhulb" who never made treaties with british and never agreed to be part of british protectorate dont have to make any referendum as they never where part of it willingly. The Riyoole administration in no way can speak for all the people who leave in the ex british somaliland now north Somalia.

Shias can talk how much they want Umar(ra) did not forbid muta it was the Messenger of Allah(saw) who did. Ahlul sunnah unanimously agree that muta is haram, the Messenger of Allah (saw) had forbidden temporary marriage on the day of Khaybar and this hadith is muttawathir. The Shi'ia themselves have a Ahaadeeth narrated by Ali(ra) which states that the Prophet(saw) made Mut'a a Haram on the day of Khaiber Book of Tahdeeb: vol. 7, pg. 251, rewaya 10. The shia say that Ali(ra) lied for the purposes of safety (taqqiya). In Book of Istebsar: vol. 3, pg. 142, rewaya 5, there is a declaration by Ali(ra) that Mut'aa a is Haram. Again they accuse Ali(ra) of lying for safety reasons (taqqiya).

The Myth of the Shi‘i Mahdi The 15th of Sha‘baan is a very significant date, both to the Ahl as-Sunnah and the Shi‘ah. The Shi‘ah, however, have their own reason for ascribing significance to this night. To them it is the night of the birth of their twelfth Imam, the Hidden Mahdi. Who is this Mahdi whose return to this world is so eagerly awaited by the Shi‘ah, and belief in whose existence in occultation forms such a integral aspect of the Shi‘i psyche? Before an adequate answer to this question may be given, there is a need to understand certain aspects concerning the Shi‘i doctrine of Imamah. Background The cornerstone of the Shi‘i faith is the belief that the spiritual and temporal leadership of this Ummah after the demise of Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam is vested in the Imam, who is appointed, like the Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam himself, by Allah, and who enjoys all the distinctions and privileges of the Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam. However, they believe that Imamah, unlike Nubuwwah, can never come to an end. In this regard there is a well-known Shi‘i hadith which says that “the world cannot exist without an Imamâ€, and another which goes that “if the earth were to be without an Imam for a single day it would sink.†Thus, when it came to pass that the first of those whom they regard as their Imams— Sayyiduna Ali radiyallahu ‘anhu— left this world, a problem arose. Some of those who regarded themselves as his followers claimed that he did not in fact die, but that he will return to establish justice. Others said that he was succeeded as Imam by his son Hasan, who was in turn succeeded by his brother Husayn. When Husayn died there were some who claimed to follow their other brother Muhammad (known as Ibn al-Hanafiyyah) as their Imam. When he died his followers claimed that he was in reality alive, and that he will return in due time. Others amongst the Shi‘ah took Sayyiduna Husayn’s son, Ali, surnamed Zayn al-‘Abidin, as their Imam, and upon his death transferred their loyalties to his son, Muhammad al-Baqir. When al-Baqir died there were once again elements from amongst the Shi‘ah who denied his death and claimed that he would return one day, while others took his son Ja‘far as-Sadiq as their Imam. When he died there was mass confusion amongst the Shi‘ah: each of his sons Isma‘il, Abdullah, Muhammad, Zakariyya, Ishaq and Musa was claimed by various groups amongst the Shi‘ah to be their Imam. In addition to them there was a group who believed that Ja‘far did not really die, and that he would return one day. More or less the same thing happened at the death of his son Musa. Some of the Shi‘ah denied his death, believing that he will return, and others decided to take as their new Imam one of his sons. Some of these chose his son Ahmad, while others chose his other son Ali ar-Rida. After him they took as their Imam his son Muhammad al-Jawwad (or at-Taqi), and after him his son Ali al-Hadi (or an-Naqi). At the death of Ali al-Hadi they looked upon his son Hasan al-Askari as their new— and 11th— Imam. The death of Hasan al-Askari The above is a very brief synopsis of a tumultuous and confusing history— a history from which a dedicated researcher might extract some very revealing facts about the development of Shi‘ism. However, that is not our concern at this moment. We have now arrived at the year 254 AH, the time when a major section of the Shi‘ah accepted as their Imam the 22-year old Hasan, son of Ali al-Hadi, and 10th lineal descendant of Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyidah Fatimah radiyallahu ‘anhuma. Six years later, in 260 AH, Hasan al-Askari, at the very young age of 28, is lying on his deathbed, but unlike any of his forefathers he leaves no offspring, no one to whom the Shi‘ah might appropriate as their new Imam. The Shi‘ah who had been regarding Hasan al-Askari as their Imam were thrown into mass disarray. Does this mean the end of the Imamah? The end of the Imamah would mean the end of Shi‘ism. Were they prepared for that? The confusion that reigned amongst the Shi‘ah after the death of Hasan al-Askari is reflected by the Shi‘i writer Hasan ibn Musa an-Nawbakhti, who counts the emergence of altogether 14 sects amongst the followers of Hasan al-Askari, each one with a different view on the future of the Imamah and the identity of the next Imam. It must be noted that an-Nawbakhti was alive at the time all of this was taking place. Another Shi‘i writer, Sa‘d ibn Abdullah al-Qummi, who also lived during the same time, counts 15 sects, and a century later the historian al-Mas‘udi enumerates altogether 20 separate sects. Trends There were four major trends amongst these various sects: (1) There were those who accepted the death of Hasan al-Askari as a fact, and accepted also the fact that he left no offspring. To them Imamah had thus come to an end, just like Nubuwwah came to an end with the death of Rasulullah r . However, there were some amongst them who kept hoping for the advent of a new Imam. (2) The second trend was one to which the student of the history of “succession to the Imamah†would be much more used to. This was the tendency to deny the death of Hasan al-Askari, and to claim that he would return in the future to establish justice upon earth. We have seen this tendency emerge amongst the Shi‘ah at more than one critical juncture in the history of the Imamah of the Shi‘ah; it is therefore only logical to expect it to resurface at a moment as critical as the death of Hasan al-Askari. (3) The third trend was to extend the chain of Imamah to Hasan’s brother Ja‘far. (4) The fourth trend was the claim that Hasan al-Askari did in fact have a son. It is the fourth trend which ultimately became the view of the dominant group in Shi‘ism. The missing son This trend was spearheaded by persons who had set themselves up as the representatives of the Imam, and who were in control of a network covering various parts of the Islamic empire— a network for the purpose of collecting money in the name of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt. All followers of the Imams were obliged to pay one fifth of their income to the representatives of the Imams. (This is a practice which continues up to today.) At the head of this network was a man called Uthman ibn Sa‘id al-‘Amri. His manner of resolving the predicament was unique: Hasan al-Askari was dead, he admitted, but he was not childless. He had a 4-year old son, Muhammad, with whom no one but he— Uthman ibn Sa‘id— could have contact. And from that point onwards he would act as the representative (wakeel) of the Hidden Imam and collect money in his name. To the fact that Hasan al-Askari’s own family were completely ignorant of the existence of any child of his, and that his estate had been divided between his brother Ja‘far and his mother, Uthman ibn Sa‘id and his ilk responded by denouncing Ja‘far as al-Kadhdhab (the Liar). In due time a fantastic story was brought into circulation about the union between Hasan al-Askari and a Roman slave-girl, who is variously named as Narjis, Sawsan or Mulaykah. She is mentioned as having been the daughter of Yusha‘ (Joshua), the Roman emperor, who is a direct descendant of the apostle Simon Peter. But history shows that there never was a Roman emperor of that name. The Roman emperor of the time was Basil I, and neither he nor any other emperor is known to have descended from Peter. The story goes on to tell of her capture by the Muslim army, how she eventually came to be sold to Hasan al-Askari, and of her supernatural pregnancy and the secret birth of the son of whom no one— aside from Uthman ibn Sa‘id and his clique— knew anything. Everything about the child is enveloped in a thick and impenetrable cloud of mystery. The four representatives Uthman ibn Sa‘id remained the “representative of the Hidden Imam†for a number of years. In all that time he was the only link the Shi‘ah had with their Imam. During that time he supplied the Shi‘i community with tawqi‘at, or written communications, which he claimed was written to them by the Hidden Imam. Many of these communications, which are stilpreserved in books like at-Tusi’s Kitab al-Ghaybah, had to do with denouncing other claimants to the position of representatives, who had come to realise exactly how lucrative a position Uthman ibn Sa‘id had created for himself. The Shi‘i literature dealing with Uthman ibn Sa‘id’s tenure as representative is replete with references to money collected from the Shi‘i public. When Uthman ibn Sa‘id died, his son Abu Ja‘far Muhammad produced a written communication from the Hidden Imam in which he himself is appointed the second representative, a position which he held for about 50 years. He too, like his father, had to deal with several rival claimants to his position, but the tawqi‘at which he regularly produced to denounce them and reinforce his own position ensured the removal of such obstacles and the continuation of support from a credulous Shi‘i public. He was followed in this position by Abul Qasim ibn Rawh an-Nawbakhti, a scion of the powerful and influential Nawbakhti family of Baghdad. Before succeeding Muhammad ibn Uthman, Abul Qasim an-Nawbakhti was his chief aide in the collection of the one-fifth taxes from the Shi‘ah. Like his two predecessors, he too had to deal with rival claimants, one of whom, Muhammad ibn Ali ash-Shalmaghani used to be an accomplice of his. He is reported in Abu Ja‘far at-Tusi’s book Kitab al-Ghaybah as having stated: “We knew exactly what we were into with Abul Qasim ibn Rawh. We used to fight like dogs over this matter (of being representative).†When Abul Qasim an-Nawbakhti died in 326 AH he bequethed the position of representative to Abul Hasan as-Samarri. Where the first three representatives were shrewd manipulators, Abul Hasan as-Samarri proved to be a more conscientous person. During his three years as representative there was a sudden drop in tawqi‘at. Upon his deathbed he was asked who his successor would be, and answered that Allah would Himself fulfil the matter. Could this perhaps be seen as a refusal on his part to perpetuate a hoax that has gone on for too long? He also produced a tawqi‘ in which the Imam declares that from that day till the day of his reappearance he will never again be seen, and that anyone who claims to see him in that time is a liar. Thus, after more or less 70 years, the last “door of contact†with the Hidden Imam closed. The Shi‘ah term this period, in which there was contact with their Hidden Imam through his representatives-scum-tax-collectors, the Lesser Occultation (al-Ghaybah as-Sughra), and the period from the death of the last representative onwards the Greater Occultation (al-Ghaybah al-Kubar). The Greater Occultation has already continued for over a thousand years. Activities of the representatives When one reads the classical literature of the Shi‘ah in which the activities of the four representatives are outlined, one is struck by the constantly recurring theme of money. They are almost always mentioned in connection with receiving and collecting “the Imam’s money†his loyal Shi‘i followers. There is a shocking lack of any activities of an academic or spiritual nature. Not a single one of the four is credited with having compiled any book, despite the fact that they were in exclusive communion with the last of the Imams, the sole repository of the legacy of Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam. When we look at the major sources upon which the Shi‘i faith is based, we find that most of them were written after the onset of the Greater Occultation. Those works, like al-Kafi, which was written during the latter decades of the Lesser Occultation, contain scarcely a reference to any of the four representatives as narrators from the Hidden Imam. Instead it is filled with thousands of reports which go back, via other channels, to the fifth and the sixth Imams. That is indeed strange, considering the fact that a man like Uthman ibn Sa‘id al-‘Amri is claimed to have been closely associated with the 10th, the 11th as well as the hidden 12th Imam, and also the fact that his son remained the Shi‘i community’s solitary link to that Imam for half a century. Would it not have been better and more authoritative for an author like al-Kulayni to report the hadith of his Imams from the Hidden Imam via his representatives who lived in Baghdad at the same time as he rather than to trace it all back to the fifth and sixth Imams through a myriad of doubtful channels? But of course, he could not have done that, because the activities of those representatives did not have as much to do with authentically preserving the legacy of the Ahl al-Bayt as with the collection of wealth in their names. In light of the fact that the Shi‘ah explain the necessity of Imamah in terms of the need for an infallible guide who serves as the repository of the legacy of Ahl al-Bayt, it appears extremely incongruous that this particular guide has left no sort of legacy of his own whereby the legacy of the Ahl al-Bayt can be known. Despite the fact that an infallible guide supposedly exists, it is upon fallible persons such as Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub al-Kulayni that the Shi‘ah must depend for that legacy. The only bit of information that has come down to us regarding the Hidden Imam’s authentication of the hadith legacy of the Shi‘ah is what is recorded by Aqa Muhammad Baqir Khwansari in his book Rawdat al-Jannat. He writes that al-Kulayni’s book was presented to the Hidden Imam who looked at it and declared, “Hadha Kaafin li-Shi‘atina†(This is enough for our Shi‘ah). This is incidentally how the book received its name. A report such as this creates a huge problem. It appears to be a ratification of the contents of the book al-Kafi by the infallible Imam. Yet, 9 centuries later the Shi‘i muhaddith, Mulla Muhammad Baqir Majlisi, would declare in his commentary on al-Kafi, named Mir’at al-‘Uqul, that 9,485 out of the 16,121 narrations in al-Kafi are unreliable. What did Majlisi know that the infallible Imam was so unaware of that he would authenticate a book, 60% of whose contents would later be discovered to be unreliable? Evaluation The Iraqi Shi‘i scholar, Muhammad Baqir as-Sadr, finds proof for the existence of the Hidden Mahdi in what he calls “the experience of a communityâ€. The existence of the Hidden Imam, he postulates, was experienced by the Shi‘i community as a whole in the written communications that the representatives used supplied them with. The crux of this argument lies in the fact that an individual experience might be doubted, but never that of experience of an entire community. However, the glaring flaw in this line of reasoning is that it very conveniently overlooks the part of the representatives as the individual go-betweens. The community never had the privilege of seeing or meeting the person they believed to be the author of the tawqi‘at. Their experience was limited to receiving what the representatives produced. Even the argument of a consistent handwriting in all the various tawqi‘at is at best melancholy. There is no way one can get away from the fact that the existence of the Hidden Imam rests upon nothing other than acceptance of the words of the representatives. The activities of those representatives furthermore go a long way to show that they were much, much more inspired by the desire to possess than by pious sentiments of any kind. So when the Shi‘ah commemorate the birth of their twelfth Imam on the 15th night of Sha‘ban, or when they seek to apply ahadith in Sunni sources which speak of twelve khalifas to their twelve Imams, then let us ask them on what basis do they accept the existence of the twelfth one? History bears witness to the existence of eleven persons in that specific line of descent, but when we come to the twelfth one, all we have is claims made by persons whose activities in the name of their Hidden Imam give us all the reason in the world to suspect their honesty and integrity. In Islam, issues of faith can never be based upon evidence of this kind.

Yes normally it cost 65$ but if you change phone company to theirs you will get 100mbs for free. Kazaa have more variety when it coms to softwhers(games) but i almost never download movies from kazaa lite.

Im on my way to upgrade to 100 Mbs and it will not cost me more than 45$. Casey I suppose you have broadband true phone jack, 24mbs is the max you can get. With fiber Optic Broadband you can get much more than 100 mbs. Yes dc++(x direct connect) is faster but still kazaa have more files.

Poll how fast is your computers CPU(processor) Sorry, the poll doesn't work made mistake when i was making the poll

How many of you have 10mbs connection? it cost me only 40$ month. Its very good if you want to download movis from kazaa.

Low caste(dalit) embrace Islam in india "Now I sit, drink and eat with other Muslims. This was not possible with upper caste Hindus. Higher caste Hindus do not allow us to sit with them. Eating and drinking with them was unthinkable." Two Harijan families, consisting of 40 members embraced Islam last month in two villages of Mewat - Beersika and Tarrakpur in Nuh tehsil. Both are Muslim-dominated villages. Unlike other recent publicised events of conversion of Harijans to Christianity and Buddhism, the Mewat conversions took place in total secrecy. Even the villagers did not know until it was all over. The would-be converts, perhaps realising the impending storm, kept it a closely guarded secret. They had been contemplating the move for the last 20 years and when they finally decided it was time, they went in total secrecy to Delhi's Jama Masjid and embraced Islam at the hands of the influential Shahi Imam Ahmad Bukhari who issued them conversion certificates. These certificates are prized possessions of these new converts - in fact their passport to a new, free and equal life. The Muslim community had no inkling of these events in Mewat area which is cut off from the outside world although it is just a stones throw from the national capital. If you could ignore the roads and electricity, which are a gift of Bansilal's ambitious plans to modernise Haryana, these villages are still in the Mediaeval age. Their womenfolk still fetch water from far-away wells and go to the jungle to collect dry wood to use as fuel for cooking. People here are subsisting on small tracts of farms which barely produce their food. Small farmers have no surplus to sell. The lot of Harijans, or the so-called "untouchables," is even worse. They are shunned socially by both Hindus and Muslims. The Hindustan Times of August 24 broke the story of their conversion only partially. It spoke only of one village, Tarrakpur and quoted a VHP and BJP local unit ultimatum which announced: "We have decided to give two days to the district administration to rescue the converted Hindu families from Muslim villages. Otherwise we will have to enter these villages," Attar Singh Bhagat, chief of the local BJP unit was quoted as saying. The language was serious enough to alarm us. Before we could think of where to turn, we received an SOS email from "People of Mewat" which read as follows: "In Nuh subdivision villages of Beersika and Tarrakpur, 40 Harijans have embraced Islam of their own will in the presence of Shahi Imam Ahmad Bukhari in Delhi. They are living in their villages as Muslims and the administration is harassing these new Muslims and respectable people of these villages. Din Mohammad Sarpanch of Beersika has been perpetually harassed by DSP Nuh. The people of Mewat are very much annoyed by the action of the administration as the DSP is asking the new convert Muslims to go along with the RSS and Bajrang Dal people so that they may be converted into Harijans again. People of Mewat are preparing to make representation to the Minority Commission as they are afraid of the dangerous attitude of the DSP Nuh and Sangh Parivar who are using every means to convert these people back." The situation was serious and the least we could do was to cover it ourselves so that the community and the country at large were made aware of the trials and tribulations of oppressed people who, using their fundamental right, decided to throw away thousands of years-old yoke of oppression and exploitation by higher castes. We replied to the email and soon came in contact with Chaudhry Wali Mohammad, an important personality and lawyer of Mewat and his lawyer son Tahir Husain. Chaudhry saheb is a well-known lawyer of Mewat and practices at Gurgaon which is now a suburb of Delhi while his son practices at the civil court in Nuh. Both are proud Meos and committed Muslims. While this controversy was still brewing, Tahir Husain came in contact with the new converts who told him of their woes and the attempts of the local administration to intimidate them and coerce them to "return" to the Hindu fold. He went to the DSP Nuh and warned him to keep off these people otherwise he would take legal steps against him and complain about him to the Minority Commission. "We were shabbily treated by Hindus. We could not sit with them or fetch water from their wells. We, were in fact living like vermins of gutters. Living in this very house was painful earlier but now it is Paradise." Through the dusty lanes of the impoverished town of Nuh we were led to the house of Tahir Husain Advocate where his father Chauhdhry Wali Muhammad saheb was waiting for us. Accompanied by Chauhdhry saheb and his advocate son we proceeded to Beersika village. Situated off metalled road at a distance of around ten kms from Nuh, it is an abode of around 2000 people with two Hindu families. The third, Prabhu's, is now Muslim. We had to leave our car at the village entrance and walk through the muddy lanes of the village to the modest mud courtyard of Prabhu (now Sohrab). An old man of 80, Sohrab was alone. The rest of his family had gone to another village for dawat, or feast, which is a special lunch or dinner to celebrate something. Almost every day these people are invited to somedawat in the nearby villages. The whole village seemed to have stormed us and we were led to a baithak, an area to receive guests and important visitors. Soon Prabhu arrived armed with certificates issued by Imam Bukhari. Behind him arrived the only sign of western influence out there - Pepsi Cola. Was there any immediate reason for your family's conversion to Islam? I asked him… No. We were contemplating this for the last 20 years. We were not praying to any idol all these years. In fact my wife was secretly praying like Muslims for the last ten years. We were shabbily treated by Hindus. We could not sit with them or fetch water from their wells. We, were in fact living like vermins of gutters. Living in this very house was painful earlier but now it is Paradise. It was about six months back when we decided to become Muslims openly. We discussed the matter between ourselves and on August 7 of this month we went to Delhi's Jama Masjid where we all became Muslims and were given these certificates." DSP Nuh [Kuldeep Singh] and SDM Nuh [sP Sharma] threatened us to reconvert but none of us will do it. We are ready to face the worst punishment if we have done anything wrong. Even in our dreams we cannot think of reconverting. I have only one dream now: to die as a Muslim. Are you facing any problems? No problems form the villagers here. They are treating us like their brothers as you can see here. I am sitting with them as you can see - something I could not even dream with Hindus. The only problem we are facing is from the authorities. They want us to go back to the Hindu fold. But why should we? DSP Nuh [Kuldeep Singh] and SDM Nuh [sP Sharma] threatened us to reconvert but none of us will do it. We are ready to face the worst punishment if we have done anything wrong. Even in our dreams we cannot think of reconverting. I have only one dream now: to die as a Muslim. The officers in Nuh ask us to come to them to investigate and record our statements. I have refused to go to them. I have not committed any crime, then why should I go?. If they want to record my statement let them come here. They in fact came here twice and I told them that we have become Muslims out of our own free will. No one has influenced us. The villagers here did not even know when we went to Delhi to convert. What the RSS and VHP people are saying about Muslim pressure to convert us is rubbish. We have embraced Islam only after understanding fully this religion and what we know about it is that it is the simplest and purest of religions which teaches us tolerance and humanity. How do you feel now? Thank God. He has given us the courage and wisdom to convert to Islam which is the simplest and purest religion. It treats us equally. Now I sit, drink and eat with other Muslims. This was not possible with upper caste Hindus. Higher caste Hindus do not allow us to sit with them. Eating and drinking with them was unthinkable. Even animals are treated better than us by upper caste Hindus. Village headman (sarpanch) Shahabuddin chips in. The authorities are pressuring me to bring these people to them to record their statements but I am helpless as they refuse to go. We would like to do more for this family, but due to the official pressure we are hesitant, says Shahabuddin. Former village headman, Deen Mohammad, is more forthcoming. He has been trying to help these people but he finds the attitude of Meo elders unhelpful. He was aghast when an important Meo politician told him, "what was the need for you to buy this trouble? Don't take interest in such matters." But Deen Mohammad is adamant not to let the new Muslims down in their hour of trouble with influential high caste Hindus who are threatening them in many ways and are using the official machinery to intimidate the converts. "The upper caste Hindus treated us worse than animals," Hakeemuddin adds. "By the grace of Allah we are now enjoying equal status with others. Muslims are with us." On our way back we come across a tractor with trolleyful of people, mostly women. Villagers accompanying us recognised them. These are the family members of Sohrab who had gone for dawat, they tell us. They had stopped at the entrance of the village when people told them that some strangers have come to see them. They thought we were government people out to make trouble for them! Sohrab's son Hakeemuddin (previously Omkar) approaches us in confidence. He is a 50-year-old man in good health and full of youthful determination. He repeats what his father had just told us in the village. "Our dreams have been fulfilled," says Hakeemuddin with traces of paan still in his mouth after the dawat. He repeats that they were thinking of converting to Islam for the last 20 years. “Thank Allah that good sense prevailed and we were able to take a decision finally to convert," Hakeemuddin says. "We are ready to face the consequences to any extent but we will never go back to Hinduism which did not allow us to do pooja (worship) together with others." The upper caste Hindus treated us worse than animals," Hakeemuddin adds. "By the grace of Allah we are now enjoying equal status with others. Muslims are with us. They are giving us everything and most important of all they are giving us love and affection. They are also helping us to understand this religion better." But life has not been easy for this family since their conversion and one victim has been Hakeemuddin's son Tasleem (previously Sunil) who was not allowed to enroll for class IX in a nearby school although he had paid the fees. Teachers in his school say they do not want any trouble with the administration and the RSS and VHP people who, they claimed, were threatening them not to take Tasleem. The young boy is now studying in a madrasah in Malab but he is determined to enroll in another school next year. As we talk, Hakeemuddin's 70-year old mother Sajeda (previously Bharpani) approaches us. She was among the women sitting in the trolley. I have been performing namaz for the last ten years, she says. "I am glad to have become a Muslim. My only prayer to Allah is to protect my religion and the Muslims," Sajda says. Other male members of the family are now with the Tablighi Jamaat learning the new religion. Hakeemuddin too will go out shortly into a Jamaat when other males return to protect the family which is determined to stay on the course it has chosen for itself. There is a similar family in the nearby Tarrakpur village. They are related to the Beersika family and their story and determination to stay on course is every bit identical.

Heather Ramaha, a Navy petty officer By Mary Kaye Ritz Advertiser Religion Writer Less than three weeks after terrorists struck New York City and Washington, Heather Ramaha stood among a group of women at the mosque in Manoa and recited the shahada in Arabic: Heather Ramaha, a Navy petty officer, is among those in Hawai'i who have converted to Islam since Sept. 11. "Ash-hadu alla illaha illa Allah. Wa-ash-hadu anna Mohamadan rassulu Allah." She was testifying that "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah (one true God), and Mohammed is a prophet of God." By doing so, she became a convert to the Islamic faith, extending a recent national trend. Some Muslim clerics across the country say they are seeing a fourfold increase in conversions since Sept. 11, when stories about Islam jumped from the back pages of the religion section to front pages worldwide. Hakim Ouansafi, the president of the Muslim Association of Hawai'i, said that prior to Sept. 11, there had been an average of three converts per month. In the two months since then, there have been 23. And oddly enough for a religion that is often perceived as one that cloaks its women from head to foot, the newly converted Westerners tend to be female. Ouansafi said the national ratio of converts is 4-to-1, women to men. Here, he said, it's closer to 2-to-1. Most Mainland converts are African-Americans, who make up about a third of U.S. Muslims, some of whom found Allah while they were in jail or in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. On the West Coast, the men are mainly military, said Ouansafi, and most of the O'ahu converts are former Christians. One's even a single cosmetics saleswoman. More people are looking into his religion and liking what they see, he says, despite the relentless media coverage of Muslim terrorists. "Know you find bad people in every religion, and that religion should not be judged by that extreme minority," he said. One thing Sept. 11 did was remind people that life is too short: "If I'm going to die, I want die a Muslim," a convert told Ouansafi. Cromwell Crawford, chairman of the religion department at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa, echoed that: The effect of Sept. 11 on the national psyche made all Americans aware of the transience of life. He described the mood of the country as changing: Singles seek to bond; family members hang together more tightly; and, by extension, the nation's people reach out to one another. "People are turning to religion both in the institutional sense and in noninstitutional ways," Crawford said, adding that the fallout also is benefiting other religions besides Islam. Why overwhelmingly women? "In the expression of this mood, women are moved more readily and more deeply than men," he said. "Go to any church and you'll find more women than men." He also finds the female students in his classes often show greater insight into ethical issues. "Women are the more religious of the genders for various reasons," Crawford said. "... Women give birth and so they are in touch with the life process, caretakers of the life cycle by virtue of their biology." Converting — or "reverting," as Muslims call it since they believe everyone starts life as a Muslim — does not take much besides a sincere belief there is one God, and only one God. "We believe, as Muslims, once a person reverts to Muslim, all his past sins are forgiven by God," Ouansafi said. "Starts just like a baby that was born." The conversion ceremony itself is fairly simple, he said. A convert tells of the converting of his or her own free will; then explains the five tenets of faith. For the ceremony, two witnesses watch as a convert agrees that Jesus was among the great prophets (Ibrahim/Abraham, Mohammed and Moses are among the others), but not God, then speak the same two sentences that Heather Ramaha recited. Now, Ramaha is incorporating her Islamic faith into her life as a Navy petty officer stationed at Pearl Harbor since July. She doesn't wear her hejab to work as a dental hygienist, but she does wear her head covering when attending services at the mosque. While her husband, a Marine, was away recently, she couldn't quite recite the five daily prayers, all said in Arabic, without his help. But Ouansafi said the Islamic faith is supposed to be practiced to the best of one's abilities: It's forbidden in the Quran, for example, for pregnant people, travelers and people with diabetes to fast at Ramadan, if fasting means harming oneself. On a recent Friday — the Islamic equavalent of the weekly Sabbath — Ouansafi spoke at the prayer services about the role of women in Islam, and talked at length in an interview at his office with his wife, Michele Ouansafi, herself a convert, about what draws women to a faith some have called oppressive. Women are revered in their faith, the Ouansafis said. The wearing of the hejab is for a women's own protection — they are away from the lascivious looks of men. The women pray in different rooms and behind the men so as not to be a distraction when worshippers kneel and place their foreheads to the floor. "Women are in back because we are the stronger of the two," said Michele Ouansafi with a laugh. And all the major texts of religions — the Bible, the Torah, the Gospels — "in the Quran, women have more rights," her husband said. He noted that in the Quran ("the word of God, descended directly on the prophet through Gabriel," said Ouansafi), Eve and Adam were equally at fault for leaving the Garden of Eden. Eve wasn't the seductress. Many of the passages in the Quran are gender-neutral. And, in Islam, Ouansafi said, the money a man makes goes for the family. The money a woman makes is hers, he said. Women are not obligated to work. The first feminist was a Muslim known as Khawlah, Ouansafi said. Khawlah argued with prophet Mohammed, taking issue with how easily her husband could divorce her. All a man had to say was, "You are to be as the back of my mother," which was held by pagans as freeing the husband from any conjugal responsibility but didn't leave the wife free to leave his home or remarry. Khawlah went to Mohammed to plead her case. He told her to be patient, but she kept arguing. Finally, she took it to a higher authority, and Allah heard and agreed with her. "Women not only have the right to speak, but to argue with the great prophet," Ouansafi said. Michele Ouansafi converted after meeting her husband-to-be when he tutored her in Rhode Island in 1986, but she said he never asked her to convert. "Ours is a faith of attraction, not promotion," said the French Canadian woman with an MBA who works at Earth Tech, an environmental firm, as a contracts administrator. For those women who see their place in the home, the Islamic faith can be very attractive, said Tamara Albertini, a UH philosophy professor who specializes in Islam and grew up in an Islamic country. The man is responsible for taking care of the earnings, and the woman rules the home. "The main problem with Islam is: If things don't work out, there's no place to go," she said, noting that a woman needs very strong reasons to leave a marriage. However, if a Muslim man leaves the faith, she can divorce him. Although Ramaha's husband, Mike, is a lifelong Muslim and a Palestinian who grew up in San Francisco, he was not the reason for her conversion, she said. "Mike never once tried to get me to convert," the 24-year-old 'Aiea resident said. "He said, 'If you want to do this, you can research it yourself, but I'll love you either way.'" Ramaha has been searching for a way to explain her new faith to her family in California. She notes that most of their information about Islam comes from the TV movie, "Not Without My Daughter," a story about an American woman, an abusive Iranian husband and a subsequent fight over their child. "I haven't been able to find a way to tell them without them flipping out," she said. "I haven't told Dad. I tell him I go to the mosque, but I haven't told him I converted yet." To people who ask her why she would choose a religion that some consider oppressive to women, she responds that they're mixing religion with culture. "Growing up in the U.S., Islamic faith doesn't have the culture mixed into it," she said. Ramaha was the first in her family to join a church. At age 5, she befriended the daughter of a non- denominational pastor and became a Christian. The rest of the family joined later. Her mother is still a churchgoer. But Ramaha said she struggled with the Christian view of the Holy Trinity. In March, she took an online world religions class through a California university. "I'd been a Christian for 18 years," she said. "There are so many loopholes in that religion. (Islam) opened up so many ideas. ... I felt that in my heart this was the right (one) for me." As a follow-up, she took an introductory class on Islam in Hawai'i after Sept. 11, she started reading the Quran, and "something clicked." She converted soon after. "I've always felt drawn to something out there, (otherwise, there's) an emptiness," she said. "The only way I feel complete is when I have a religion, a God to pray to."

JERUSALEM - Joseph Cohen moved from the United States to Israel as a devout Jew in 1998, but within three years he had converted to Islam and become Yosef Mohammed Khatib, a supporter of the militant Hamas, according to a report broadcast Thursday on Israel TV. Now he refuses to say the word Israel, choosing instead to call the area "Palestine." His four children study the Quran, the Muslim holy book, instead of the Torah, its Jewish counterpart. It was while living in the desert town of Netivot that Khatib met a sheik from the United Arab Emirates through an Internet chat about Israel. Khatib said he spent hours corresponding with the sheik, discussing theology. Gradually he began to see Judaism as racist and turned toward Islam after reading the Quran, he told Channel 10 TV. The report did not say where he lived in the United States or give his age. Last year he told his wife of 10 years, Luna, also a devout Jew from the United States, that he wanted to convert to Islam. "I said, `Listen, I love you very much ... and I have to be honest with you,'" Khatib said in the TV interview. "I read the Quran and I agree with everything it says in the Quran, and if I continue saying that I'm a religious Jew, I would be a liar." The family converted together and moved from Netivot to an Arab neighborhood in east Jerusalem. The children went from being top in their classes on Judaism studies to being well-versed in Islam, he said. Instead of supporting the Israeli Orthodox Jewish political party Shas, Khatib now supports the radical Islamic Hamas and believes an Islamic state should be set up where Israel and the Palestinian areas are now located. He praised Hamas for setting up social services for Palestinians but dodged questions about the other side of the Islamic group — suicide bombings and other attacks against Israelis. The United States has declared Hamas a terror group. Khatib differed from most Israelis and Americans in his views about Osama bin Laden, the top suspect in the Sept. 11 terror attacks in New York and Washington. "I think that he's number one, Muslim number one," Khatib said with a strong New York accent about bin Laden. "But I don't think that he's responsible for the World Trade Center (attacks)." Wearing the white skullcap and robes of a religious Muslim, Khatib denied his Jewish past, insisting that he is 100 percent Muslim. He made a parody of a blessing that observant Jews say every morning, in which they thank God for not making them gentiles. "Blessed are Thou, Lord Our God," Khatib began in the traditional Jewish blessing, but ended it with, for not making me a Jew."

Im person who speak russion and say to the basterd russion criminals Sukenziin( that was in russion). You have to know the russion criminal have kild 80 000 chechens in the last war and up to 100 000 in the forst chechen war. And they are kiling this smal nation who is les than 500 000 people. Ther have ben geneside agens chechen under the stalin time when he deported milions of chechen to siberiya, in 50s few who survivd the cold was alowd to go back to chechnya. And now russions want to finish of the the smal group that is left. RUSSIA ACCUSED OF 'THINNING OUT' CHECHEN YOUTHS From Robin Shepherd in Moscow AN INTERNATIONAL human rights group has issued a damning report on President Putin’s war in Chechnya, accusing Russian soldiers of targeting "men of productive age" for execution in an attempt to "thin out" the male population. The International Helsinki Federation, which was set up 20 years ago to monitor abuses in the Soviet bloc, reported violence on a huge scale, particularly in proportion to Chechnya’s population, which numbers about 500,000. It said that up to 80 bodies of young Chechen men were found each month and that this was a conservative figure. The report accuses Western governments of standing idly by as a sop to Mr Putin’s support for the War on Terror. Russian human rights groups estimate the civilian death toll in the two wars in Chechnya at between 80,000 and 150,000. "This violence is on a huge scale in the world context. It is difficult to find an analogy to this," Aaron Rhodes, the Helsinki group’s executive director, said. The Russian authorities issued a swift and angry response. Stanislav Ilyasov, head of the pro-Russian Government in Chechnya, blamed most civilian deaths on "criminals" and said that the Helsinki group’s findings were "immoral and irresponsible". He said: "Human rights activists cannot be allowed to analyse social processes." Russia has been largely successful in keeping the bloody war in Chechnya off the international news agenda. Censorship at home has been matched by a strategy to portray the war as a campaign to root out terrorists along the lines of the US operation in Afghanistan or even Britain’s struggle with the IRA in Northern Ireland. Most historians say that the roots of the Chechen conflict go back to the 19th century, when rebel groups tried to shake off Tsarist Russian control and embarked on a violent campaign for independence. In 1944 Stalin deported the entire nation to Central Asia and Siberia, accusing Chechens of collaborating with the Nazis. More than 100,000 people died and the survivors were not allowed to return until the 1950s. The struggle for liberation was not to be defeated swiftly, as President Yeltsin found when he waged war in the breakaway southern republic in 1994.

The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: The Muslim is a brother to the Muslim. He does not do wrong to him, does not forsake him, and does not betray him. (Muslim). “Do not envy one another; do not inflate prices one to another; do not hate one another; do not turn away from one another; and do not undercut one another, but be you, O servants of God, brothers....” (Hadith 35 of Forty Hadith by An-Nawawis) “I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.” (Hadith 24 of Forty Hadith by An-Nawawis.) “None of you has faith unless you love for your brother what you love for yourself,” said the Prophet. The Prophet said: "If one of you loves his brother then let him inform him of that." Reporters 'Al-`Adawee said it was sound, and that it was reported by 'Ibn 'As-Sunni in 'Al-Yawm wal-Laylah, #196. His #197 serves as testimonial for this hadeeth. Allah (s.w.t.) said: O, you who believe! avoid suspicion, for you, some suspicion is a crime. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his brother? You abhor that! And keep your duty (to Allah), for Allah is Relenting, Merciful. [Al-Qur'an: Al-Hujurat (49:12)].
