I tell people all the time, you're equally American if you're a Christian, Jew, or Muslim. You're equally American if you believe in an Almighty or don't believe in an Almighty. That's a sacred freedom. Washington, D.C., Mar. 10, 2006 6. Well, first of all, you got to understand some of my view on freedom, it's not American's gift to the world. See, freedom is God -- is God given. Interview with TVR, Romania, Nov. 23, 2002 7. I'm sure there is some kind of heavy doctrinal difference, which I'm not sophisticated enough to explain to you. Explaining the issues involved in his switching from attending an Episcopal church to attending a Methodist one, (date is approximate:), Jul. 1, 1994 8.

I couldn't imagine somebody like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hanukkah White House, Dec. 10, 200117. 17.

The first value is, we're all God's children. Washington, D.C., Jul. 16, 2003 27. One of the great things about this country is a lot of people pray. Washington, D.C., Apr. 13, 2003 28. And there's no doubt in my mind, when the United States acts abroad and home, we do so based upon values -- particularly the value that we hold dear to our hearts, and that is, everybody ought to be free.

One of the most -- I think one of the most important and interesting domestic initiatives, which I agree has created an interesting philosophical debate, is to allow faith-based programs and community-based programs to access federal money in order to achieve the results we all want. I mean, for example, if you're trying to encourage people to quit drinking, doesn't it make sense to give people somebody an alternative -- he can maybe go to a government counselor? Or how about somebody who calls upon a higher being to help you quit drinking? All I care about is the results. Sterling, Virginia, Jan. 19, 2006 39.

Washington, D.C., Jan. 19, 2005 41.Secondly, it's really important, Pete, that people not think government is a loving entity. Government is law and justice. Love comes from the hearts of people that are able to impart love. And therefore, what Craig is doing is -- he doesn't realize it -- he's a social entrepreneur. He is inspiring others to continue to reach out to say to somebody who is lonely, I love you. And I'm afraid this requires a higher power than the federal government to cause somebody to love somebody. 42. We don't believe that freedom is America's gift to the world. We believe freedom is the God Almighty's gift to each and every person in the world. California, Oct. 15, 2003 43. I believe that, as I told the Crown Prince, the Almighty God has endowed each individual on the face of the earth with -- that expects each person to be treated with dignity. This is a universal call. Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, Jun. 3, 2003 44. All of you -- all in this generation of our military -- have taken up the highest calling of history. You're defending your country, and protecting the innocent from harm. And wherever you go, you carry a message of hope -- a message that is ancient and ever new. In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "To the captives, 'come out,' -- and to those in darkness, 'be free.' Aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, a couple of miles away from San Diego May 1, 2003 45. It's so inspirational to see your courage, as well as to see the great works of our Lord in your heart. Nashville, Tennessee, Feb. 10, 2003 46. As Dick mentioned, we mourn the loss of seven brave souls. We learned a lot about them over the last couple of days, and Laura and I learned a lot about their families in Houston, because we met with them. My impressions of the meeting was that there was -- that Almighty God was present in their hearts. Washington, D.C., Feb. 6, 2003 47. It's also important for people to know we never seek to impose our culture or our form of government. We just want to live under those universal values, God-given values. Washington, D.C., Oct. 11, 2002 48. Yet we do know that God has placed us together in this moment, to grieve together, to stand together, to serve each other and our country. Ellis Island, New York, Sep. 11, 2002 49. The reason I'm -- asked [these AmeriCorps workers] to join us here is because I want you to know, America can be saved one person at a time. Green Tree, Pennsylvania, Aug. 5, 2002 50. Government can hand out money, but it cannot put hope into people's hearts. It cannot put faith into people's lives. West Ashley High School, Charleston, South Carolina, Jul. 29, 2002 source

^^^LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Are you serious?

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The boys done good!

Having said that, I met a certain wadaad in Burco who was in prison for two years for cleaning up the city of all kinds of filth. He was gaining alot of support before the authorities arrested him. He was doing something very similar to what the students were doing. He thanked Riyaale for his two years in jail and stated he memorised the Quran whilst incarcerated :cool:

Originally posted by Khalaf: quote:Originally posted by Northerner: "Who are the strangers the Prophet scws was refering to in this hadith?" Certainly not kidnappers and murderers. Are you saying what they were doing was right? Are you saying those students who left the building are misguided and should have stayed to fight? Judging from these videos, the interviews with Imam Ghazi, the head female in the madaaraasa and the students, there was no plans nor interest to fight the government/army or to escalate the violence nor any plans to overthrow the government nor interest in power, nor were they talban militants ect ect. This was planned, well calculated, and escalated by the Pakistani government because they wanted to make the Masjid an example. What I Understood was, the masjid surrounded by anti-islamic haraams advised the authorities and the government repeatedly to step in and protect the tenants of Islamic morality in an Islamic Country. Nothing was done by authorities. Prophet Ibrahim scw broke the idols, I see nothing wrong with burning brothels and the like. I know nothing of murders or harassing people-other then the brothel lady and I rather trust the words of the Imams instead of hers, in fact the Masjid was known to shelter rape victims but that of course was underplayed by the media. Believe it or not I know where your coming from but there are ways of doing whats right. This usually requires much patience. Kidnappings are not the way.

Poor so and so doesnt realise he has just given the Quran more publicity, his remarks have resulted in more copies being sold to non-believers this week and some of them will be converted when they have read it. Thank you very much mate,,,,,,

they will be leaving on wed ia,,,,,cant wait

Allah yarxamhum

^^^tried that and doesnt work

I have five staying with me at the moment and they are doing my head in!!!

People are living on there already. LST, this Arabia saxib. Expect to see a bit of sand on your visit in November

Spreading hatred? A report by the police and Crown Prosecution Service casts doubt on a TV programme which accused several mosques of spreading hatred. Back in January, I blogged about a C4 Dispatches documentary, Undercover Mosque, which had just been broadcast following heavy promotion in the form of full-page adverts taken out in several of our national newspapers. We were informed by the programme makers, Hardcash Productions, that as part of a 12-month investigation they had sent an undercover reporter to several UK mosques which they found were preaching "chilling sermons" and "hatred for non-Muslims and Muslims who do not follow their extreme beliefs". Mainstream Islamic institutions including London's Islamic Cultural Centre in Regent's Park, the UK Islamic Mission and the Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith were named and shamed in the programme as allowing their premises to be used for the promotion of hate speech. Now I have been attending the Regent's Park Mosque for around 20 years now and mentioned in my blog that the Imams there "have hardly acquired a reputation for being firebrands. Quite the opposite, in fact". In a joint statement today, the Crown Prosecution Service and the West Midlands police, have said that after reviewing 56 hours of footage of three speakers featured in the documentary, of which only a part was of course used in the final edited programme, they found that: "The splicing together of extracts from longer speeches appears to have completely distorted what the speakers were saying. The CPS has demonstrated that it will not hesitate to prosecute those responsible for criminal incitement. But in this case we have been dealing with a heavily edited television programme, apparently taking out of context aspects of speeches which in their totality could never provide a realistic prospect of any convictions." While the original C4 programme will have reinforced some prejudices people have of Muslims, today's CPS/police statement will, I think more justifiably, reinforce the distrust with which many Muslims regard sections of our media. Hate speech must be combated. Documentary makers have an important responsibility, however, to do their research properly and carefully identify those who actually incite hatred. They must take great care to avoid unfairly stigmatising whole institutions and groups of people. In his book, My Trade - A Short History of British Journalism, the BBC's former political editor, Andrew Marr, said of our newspapers: "Reporting is now so contaminated by bias and campaigning, and general mischief, that no reader can hope to get a picture of what is happening without first knowing who owns the paper, and who it is being published for." Today's CPS/police ruling demonstrates that the situation with our broadcasters is sadly not much better. http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/inayat_bunglawala/2007/08/spreading_hatred.html

Me, Barre's Barbarians killed innocents people TFG/Ethios killed innocent people SNM killed innocents people others killed innocents people None of them were justified in killing innocents and none of them can be 'excused'. Wrong is wrong saxib. No need to be selective about it.

The enemy of Somalia was Mr Siyaad Barre! Maybe if Mr Barre had some 'somalinimo' in him he would not have had all tribes trying to over throw him. If you want someone to blame then blame Barre. Full stop. Mise everyone else is wrong and Barre was right? going home now
