The family is considering following the Muslim burial traditions because they believe Michael would have wanted to be laid to rest in keeping with his new-found religious beliefs News - News Articles Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:14:28 +0100 http://www.mpacuk.org/content/view/5841/102/ [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYWlB64upSc feature=related 375 313] It is so sad that the Mosques will be full of millions of Muslims this Friday, and yet most mosques will do another talk on some minor point of fiqh, or a story that we have all heard before a million times. Yet the death and destruction of the Ummah is never on their lips, the call to action is never their demand, and we walk away from the mosque as blind and as asleep as we walked in. Islam will be destroyed by the mistakes of scholars, the arguments of the hypocrites who misinterpret the Qur'an to support their views and misleading rulers.

With confidential documents, corroborated by outraged former and current U.S. officials, David Rose reveals how President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and Deputy National-Security Adviser Elliott Abrams backed an armed force under Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, touching off a bloody civil war in Gaza and leaving Hamas stronger than ever.

This incident in Western China highlights an important fact about the War on Terror. Just imagine if the Uighurs were Buddhist Tibetans or even a Christian -- rather than Muslim -- minority, battling against the tyrannical Communist regime in Beijing, resisting various types of persecution, and demanding religious freedom.

The election of the BNP seems to have made terrorism acceptable in the minds of some. What is the government planning on doing about it? We believe that mealy-mouthed platitudes are no substitute for action and if the authorities are unable or unwilling to do what is necessary to put an end to this violence and harassment, then they shouldn't be surprised when Muslims band together and do what is necessary to get the type of protection we need. If we are going to be respected as human beings, we should reserve the right to defend ourselves by whatever means necessary. This is recognized and accepted in any civilized society! Will our politicians now tackle the real terror that the far right pose and will our media expose it? Mosques need to share the responsibility of this as they have allowed this hate to fester and grow because they don't get political and refuse to educate their congregation about political activism. MPACUK has been calling time and time again for Muslims to get politically active. Now its more important than ever .................

If this woman had been of Jewish or Christian faith and the perpetrator was a Muslim it would have been splashed on the front page of every newspaper. The media has a responsibility to portray accurate news, and not to negatively sensationalise every story on Muslims leading to attacks such as these against innocent Muslims. The media and politicians who make irresponsible remarks against Muslim minorities living in the West should be held to account when attacks like these follow. If it wasn't for the negative portrayal of the hijaab in the news and by pathetically irresponsible politicians this would not have happened. And lastly, if our idiotic Mosques were ever to teach their congregations to get political and defend the rights of Muslims, this would not have happened. Constantly, politicians and the media portray Islam in a negative light and the Mosques do nothing and tell us not to get politically active. This is the result - and then you expect us to be nice to the Mosques.

The Israelis high-jacked and arrested us because we wanted to give crayons to the children in Gaza.
