Israel dismissed an offer of a six-month truce from the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas today, saying the group merely wanted time to rearm. The Hamas offer came after several weeks of negotiation with Egyptian officials and after several meetings with former US president Jimmy Carter, who travelled to Damascus last week to meet the movement's leader, Khaled Meshal.
Assalamu alaykum, I have seen an individual by the name of Asghar Bukhari representing the UK muslims on various ocassions. The only issue I have is that he doesn't look like a Muslim - so why does he want to represent them?
I was handing out leaflets outside the gates of Harrow Central Mosque after Friday prayers. From the moment I started, a youth (heavily bearded and wearing a long robe) asked what I was doing; I told him I was handing out leaflets to inform people about the London Mayoral elections in the coming week. He told me it was ‘shirk’ (associating partners to God) and that I was leaving the fold of Islam.
On many an occasion Boris Johnson has tried to play to the Muslim
voters in London, by playing his trump card of my great-grandfather was
Turkish and a Muslim. So would it surprise you that the Henley MP has just found time to make
a full disclosure of a trip he made to Israel. By law all MP’s are
required to declare in the House of Commons Register of Members
Interests, the sources of any extra income or gifts which they receive
so that there can be no suspicion that their behaviour in Parliament is
unduly influenced by outside interests.
The United States arrested an 84-year-old
American on Tuesday suspected of giving Israel secrets on nuclear
weapons, fighter jets and missiles in the 1980s, in a case linked to
the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal that rocked U.S.-Israeli relations.
At MPACUK we recognise that Muslims as with all other members of the
human race are different. They hold different views, opinions and even
ideals. But as far as we are concerned, that is ok by us. It really
does not matter to MPACUK what sect, race, caste, colour, sex, or
profession you are in. It is completely irrelevant. In fact we value
this diversity and want to represent all Muslims as a united front.
A pro-Israel pressure group is orchestrating a secret, long-term campaign to infiltrate the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia to rewrite Palestinian history, pass off crude propaganda as fact, and take over Wikipedia administrative structures to ensure these changes go either undetected or unchallenged. A series of emails by members and associates of the pro-Israel group CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), provided to The Electronic Intifada (EI), indicate the group is engaged in what one activist termed a "war" on Wikipedia.
MPACUK have received many emails and telephone calls regarding the Mega Mosque issue, and whether we're aligned with Ed Hussain and the Sufi Muslim Council. So post your questions here (please also leave your name and where you're from) and we will respond with a videocast answering your questions shortly, insh'Allah.
I have received countless calls over the last few days from people asking why MPACUK oppose the mega-mosque and why we were aligning ourselves with people like the Sufi Muslim Council and Ed Hussain. So I’ve written this article that might clarify and explain MPACUK’s position on this issue.
In shocking testimonies that reveal abductions, beatings and torture,
Israeli soldiers confess the horror they have visited on Hebron. [...] he describes in detail some of what he did and
saw others do as an enlisted soldier in Hebron. And they are certainly
criminal: the incidents in which Palestinian vehicles are stopped for
no good reason, [...] the occupants beaten up for
talking back – for saying, for example, they are on the way to
hospital...
But then they have every right and every reason to. Here's Hamas's foreign minister, Mahmoud al-Zahar, in the Washington Post, paying his respects to the fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and putting in a word for his own long suffering ghetto dwellers:
Stephen Ladyman wrote an article in the Guardian’s Comment Is Free blog today. He sides with the Israelis and decries the situation in Sderot. He also objects to former US president Jimmy Carter engaging in dialogue with Hamas in a bid to find a political solution. So is Mr Ladyman a fool or Knave? Neither. He is a fully paid up member of the Zionist lobby. He is a member of Labour Friends of Israel – the secretive lobby group that has influenced British foreign policy for far too long. He visits Israel at the expense of the lobby.
On May 1st 2008 Boris Johnson - a Zionist Islamophobe who has called
the Qur’an a book of ‘religious hatred’ - could be elected Mayor of
London. Ken Livingston and Boris Johnson are very close in the polls, so every
vote counts and we desperately need volunteers to help distribute
leaflets encouraging people to vote for Ken Livingstone. With Muslims making up 10% of London’s voters we cannot sit back and
allow Boris Johnson to replace Ken Livingstone, the most powerful
anti-war, pro-Muslim politician in Britain today.
I know a Muslim is very likely to be a member of a brainwashed cult as soon as they call themselves ‘practicing’. What I mean by that is they will have been almost totally pacified by some group or other that taught them an Islam without priorities, they will talk endlessly about trouser length, beard length, the miracles of honey, the correct dress code, and every single issue until it comes down to what they can practically do to protect the oppressed and enjoin justice, it's at this point the brainwashed but sincere member of the cult gets confused and says something dumb like ‘bruvva Islam is a whole, I have to perfect myself first bruvva’.
A respected reader of the MPACUK website felt MPACUK was wrong about demanding Muslims to vote, here is his rebuttal. Once again we ask Muslims to remind themselves how little Mosque Leaders allow themselves to be disagreed with without acting like thugs. MPACUK leads the way in allowing even those who we totally disagree with us to have their say:
When confronted about his infamous choice of language to describe black people - "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles" - Boris Johnson's responses ranged from claims of being misinterpreted to apologies for the offence caused. And when, a few days ago, Nick Ferrari questioned him on his no less distasteful statements on Islam, the Conservative candidate for the London mayoralty denied ever making them.
Certainly he has not the fascinating look of a bin-Laden and does not live in the mysterious caves of the Hindu Kush, surely he has not the media appeal and the anchorman vocation which the ‘Master of Terror’ has shown to have in the last seven years; yet Roberto Sandalo (alias Robby the Mad or Commandant Franco) has more terrorist credentials than ‘Sheik Osama’.
Though my detractors
often claim otherwise, I see myself as anything but a "self-hating
Jew", and the more vocal I am in my criticism of the Israeli
government's crimes, the more credence I give that claim. I
passionately love my religion, and just as fervently defend its
teachings to the hilt when it comes to how to treat our fellow man.
That Zionism has come along, hijacked Jewish doctrines, and twisted
them to form part of an all-out supremacist movement is not something I
can swallow if I want to stay loyal to the true values of Judaism.
A family who were wrongly suspected of lying on a school application
form have discovered that their local council used anti-terrorism
surveillance powers to spy on them.
