written by MAYORBOB , edited by George (Plastic) read unedited
posted Tue 4 May 8:55am The United States is becoming a more inhospitable place for Muslims , according to a report by a major Islamic advocacy group. In a report recently released by the Council on American-Islamic Relations , all of the relevant facts seem to point to an America that is basically antagonistic and distrustful of people of Islamic extraction. CAIR is not the only agency interested in employment discrimination against Muslims in the wake of September 11th. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission tracks these incidents of what it calls "backlash discrimination," and its records seem to bear CAIR out in its contention that these incidents have been on the increase.

Print Article Send Your Feedback Nigerian Muslims who fled the town of Yelwa after Christian militia reportedly killed hundreds of their townsfolk have recounted their ordeal. Dirty and exhausted, the refugees sought police escorts to take them to neighbouring Bauchi and Nassarawa states fearing that Christians in surrounding villages would try to kill them as they left, a Red Cross worker said. "Thousands of displaced people have crossed into Bauchi from Yelwa and the surrounding area," said Umar Mairiga, who led a Red Cross team to the area on Thursday. "They are using police escorts to take them out of the area completely because militant Christians have mounted roadblocks on the roads," he added.

Muslims save Baghdad's Jewish community centre from looters
April 14 2003 Iraqi Muslims came to the aid of Baghdad's tiny Jewish community yesterday, chasing out looters trying to sack its cultural centre in the heart of the capital. "At 3am, I saw two men, one with a beard, on the roof of the Jewish community house and I cried out to my friend, 'Hossam, bring the Kalashnikovs!'" said Hassam Kassam, 21. Heither Hassan nor Hossam, who is the guard at the centre, was armed at the time but the threat worked in scaring off the intruders. Two hours later, the looters returned again and Hassan Kassem used the trick once more. The centre is located in a freshly-painted white house on a lane off Rashid Street in Baghdad's old town. ");document.write(" advertisement Two days ago, amid rampant looting in the capital, neighbours removed the sign reading 'Special Committee for the Religious Affairs of Ezra Menahem Daniel' to make the premises less conspicuous. On Saturday at about 10.30am, two men seized an opportunity created by the guard's mid-morning break to try to force open the door in a first attempt to burgle the centre.

There are fears for the safety of Muslim women
The leaders of Scotland's Muslim community have been meeting to assess the extent of racist threats and attacks suffered since terrorists struck at the heart of the US. Around the world many followers of Islam have reported heightened hostility since hijacked airliners were flown into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The American authorities have named Osama Bin Laden, who is a Muslim, as their prime suspect and that has triggered a backlash against followers of Islamic religions. World leaders, including the US President George W Bush, have condemned violence against Muslims and have appealed for calm.
Haq Ghani says tensions have risen recently
However, Muslim leaders met in Glasgow on Wednesday evening to discuss the situation in Scotland where some abuse has been reported. They also drew up an action plan to help change the attitudes of those who hold them responsible for the terrorism.

Police forces across the UK are drafting in more officers and taking extra measures to protect Muslims from any violent reaction to the US terror attacks. London and West Midlands police are among those forces opting for high-visibility patrols, particularly near vulnerable places such as mosques.
Anyone who thinks that what happened in the US is an excuse for acting against other religious groups will not be tolerated
West Midlands Police Members of the Muslim community have welcomed the police action saying they fear being targeted following last week's attacks in the US. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George Carey has called for a "building of bridges" with the Muslim community in Britain, not "walls". Scotland Yard Commissioner Sir John Stevens has vowed to protect Muslims from any violent reaction to the terror campaign in the US.

http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~muslims/
Ayah (Verse) of the Month: "Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so it was ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein..." Holy Qur'an, Surat At-Tawbah (The Repentance) 9:36
Hadith of the Month:
On the authority of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased whith him):
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The year is twelve months of which four are sacred, the three consecutive months of Dhul-Qa`dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Sha`baan."
Reported by Bukhari
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased whith him):

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best of fasting after Ramadaan is fasting Allaah's month of Muharram."
Reported by Muslim
On the authority of Ibn `Abbaas (may Allah be pleased whith him):

"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to Madeenah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of `Aashooraa'. He said, 'What is this?' They said, 'This is a righteous day, it is the day when Allaah saved the Children of Israel from their enemies [on which Allaah saved Moosa and his people, and drowned Pharaoh and his people - Muslim], so Moosa fasted on this day.' He said, 'We have more right to Moosa than you,' so he fasted on that day and commanded [the Muslims] to fast on that day."

Almighty God sent many Messengers / Apostles who conveyed the message of Almighty God. Meaning of Allah
Allah is one of the the most Beautiful Names of the Almighty God, the Exalted. It is said that Allah is the Greatest Name of Allah, because it is referred to when describing Allah by the various attributes. For instance, Allah said,
Call God by the most Beautiful Name
Al- Quran 17:110 Say: "Call upon God, or call upon the Most Merciful(Rahman): by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names..." Al- Quran 59:22-24 God is He, than Whom there is no other god;- Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. God is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to God!

Muslims of Tibet
By Masood Butt
Tibetan Bulletin
January - February 1994 Tibet had pockets of Muslims entrenched within its borders although there is no documentary evidence on how Muslims first came to settle there. In fact, information on Tibetan Muslims in general itself is scarce. But the existence of Tibet appears to be known to the Muslim world from the earliest period of recorded history. Arab historians like Yaqut Hamawi, Ibn Khaldun and Tabari mention Tibet in their writings. In fact, Yaqut Hamawihas, in his book Muajumal Buldan (encyclopaedia of countries), refers to Tibet in three different ways Tabbat, Tibet and Tubbet. During the reign of Umar bin Abdul Aziz (717-720) of the Persian Empire, it is believed that a delegation from Tibet and China requested him to send Islamic missionaries to their countries. Caliph Umar is said to have sent Salah bin Abdullah Hanafi to Tibet. The Abbasid rulers of Baghdad also maintained re1ations with Tibet in the eighth and the ninth centuries. Kashmir and Eastern Turkestan were the nearest Islamic regions bordering Tibet. It is said that Muslim migrants from Kashmir and Ladakh areas first entered Tibet around 12th century. Gradually, marriages and social interaction led to an increase in the population until a sizable community came up around Lhasa, Tibet's capital. There was no large-scale conversion to Islam though. Thomas Arnold, in his book, The Preaching of Islam, published in the early part of this century says, "Islam has also been carried into Tibet proper by Kashmiri merchants. Settlements of such merchants are to be found in all the chief cities of Tibet: they marry Tibetan women, who often adopt the religion of their husbands..."
