Palestinian Holocaust Continues….

La Ilaaha Illallah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Astaghfirullah, What a GENOCIDE!!!! I am so terrified with the pictures, why can't we Muslim Ummah all over the world help our brothers and sisters Muslim in Palestine???? This made me sick of Muslim Government and Nations, we only can talk without any acts taken. The only hope is Iran, but Egypt didn't open her border. Why are we still depending on the US?? Saudi Arabia should lead us but Saudi too had been too dependent on the US in the term of monetary unit and business dealing. I hate my Government too now and I hate myself for only can talk here, I only can offer my prayers to Lord Allah to grant mercy on those brothers and sisters who suffer in Palestine.

How do you suggest they help the Palestinians exactly?

Obama on Gaza: ‘No Comment’

December 27, 2008




“There was no immediate comment on the Israeli air strikes on Gaza from Obama, who is vacationing with his family in Hawaii, or his staff.”

This is how our incoming President has reacted to the worst attack on the Palestinian people in 20 years – by not reacting at all.


The Bush White House, of course, has responded as we all know they would: Israel-has-the-right-to-defend itself, let the killing begin, etc., ad nauseum.


And don’t expect much better from the Obama camp. Remember how he scolded the UN for daring to even discuss the Gaza situation?:


“We have to understand why Israel is forced to do this… Israel has the right to respond while seeking to minimize any impact on civilians. The Security Council should clearly and unequivocally condemn the rocket attacks… If it cannot bring itself to make these common sense points, I urge you to ensure that it does not speak at all.”

With his silence – or, at least, his very delayed reaction – it seems clear that Obama is taking his own advice. Even as Israel takes the possibility of a new page in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict off the agenda, and sabotages all his brave talk about a renewed US diplomatic effort, the great “liberal” hope is apparently tongue-tied. And when he finally speaks, “progressives” should prepare for the worst: after all, this is someone who endorsed the Israeli re-invasion of Lebanon.


The Israeli-Palestinian “peace process”? The Israelis, for their part, are having none of it – and neither is our future President.

Saudi cleric issues fatwa urging Muslims to avenge Gaza raids

December 28, 2008

A Saudi Web site on Sunday reported that a popular cleric has issued a fatwa urging Muslims to target Israeli interests everywhere, to avenge the attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The site, Rasid, posts news about Saudi Arabia’s Shiite community and on Sunday said that Sheik Awadh al-Garni has issued a religious edict urging Muslims to strike anything that has a link to Israel, calling it a legitimate target for Muslims everywhere.

Al-Garni, whose is popular in the kingdom, is not a member of the official religious establishment.

Fatwas are not legally binding, and it is up to the individual Muslim to follow them.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday also issued a religious decree to Muslims around the world, ordering them to defend Palestinians against Israel’s attacks on Gaza, state television said.
"All Palestinian combatants and all the Islamic world’s pious people are obliged to defend the defenseless women, children and people in Gaza in any way possible. Whoever is killed in this legitimate defense is considered a martyr," state television quoted Khamenei as saying in a statement.
Israel launched an unprecedented assault on the Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing at least 280 people and sparking protests and condemnations throughout the Arab world.

Many of Israel’s Western allies urged restraint, though the U.S. blamed Hamas for the fighting.

In his statement on Sunday, Khamenei also criticized some Arab governments for their "encouraging silence" towards the Israel’s raids on Gaza.

Hamas leaders go into hiding

Meanwhile, Hamas’ political leaders in the Gaza Strip have gone into hiding in the wake of Israel’s operation on the coastal territory, fearing that they will once again be targeted in the attacks.

In Damascus, Syria, Hamas’ top leader, Khaled Meshal, called on Palestinians to rekindle their fight against Israel and renew suicide bombings against Israeli targets. "This is the time for a third Intifada," he said.

In a speech broadcast on local Gaza television, Hamas’ prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, declared his movement would not be cowed. "We are stronger, and more determined, and have more will, and we will hold onto our rights even more than before," Haniyeh said.

Abu Ubeida, spokesman for the organization’s military wing, the Iz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades vowed harsh retaliation: "The Israeli occupation needs to know that it has cast itself into the fire," he said.

The Egyptian minister said a cease-fire would be the aim of a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo on Wednesday.

Several Arab leaders have also proposed an Arab summit to respond to the attacks on Gaza but Aboul Gheit suggested that a summit could be some way off.

"Priority is the Arab measures at the level of foreign ministers … then we can look at a later phase, but we don’t imagine moving without proper preparation for such a summit. First we have to look at the ceasefire measures," he said.

The TV images of dead and wounded Gazans has inflamed Arab public opinion, and protests erupted in Arab Israeli villages, the West Bank and elsewhere in the Arab world.

The campaign embarrassed moderate Arab regimes that have encouraged Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking and weakened Hamas’ rival, Abbas, who has ruled only the West Bank since Hamas was elelcted in power but forced to control only Gaza since June 2007.

Abbas condemned the attacks on Saturday, but fearing violence could spiral out of control, his forces also broke up protests in the West Bank.

The offensive risked opening new fronts, including unrest that could destabilize the West Bank and ignite possible rocket attacks by Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas on northern Israel.

Haaretz | Sunday, December 28, 2008

man iv been feeling so down lately about this whole thing, feel so helpless, rallys and boycotts and charities r all good but there is only so much they can do, it makes you thankful for the privileges u have an angry that u really cant make a difference to help. how much more must these people suffer before the muslims open their eyes and remove their corrupt leaders who sit with their hands in their laps and say not a word

Dua is the weapon of the believers, make lots of duas, donate money relief groups and anything else you can do to help bro.

What can I, as a Muslim, do?


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

1- You have to make du’aa’, and recite du’a’ al-qunoot in your salaah (prayer).

2- Collect charity and send it through trustworthy channels.

3- Support the weak and oppressed in all ways, including the media and the internet.

4- Get scholars, daa’iyahs, khateebs and writers to explain the oppression that is happening and the negligence on the part of the ummah, and to mobilize the ummah to defend the holy places.

5- Check on one’s own intentions with regard to fighting for the sake of Allaah, and see whether he is applying the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever dies without having fought for the sake of Allaah or having had the intention of doing so, has died following one of the branches of hypocrisy.” (Saheeh Muslim, no. 3533)

6- Pursuing all the means of building up material and moral strength, in preparation for meeting the enemy (in battle).

7- Reminding oneself and others of the virtues of martyrdom for the sake of Allaah and studying the rulings on jihad, and not having an attachment to this world.

8- Doing as much damage as possible to the enemies who are in a state of war with us, by boycotting their products, attacking them verbally and in writing to humiliate and annoy them, and to point out their kufr and shirk, and their insults to Allaah, His Messenger and the believers, publishing as much as possible in the audio-visual and print media about this serious topic whilst also connecting that to Islamic belief and the words of Allaah and His Messenger,

We ask Allaah the Exalted and All-Powerful to support His religion and cause His word to prevail.

Islamarama, who would you suggest giving charity to?

Hamas?

Because they don't really seem to have their people's best interest in mind to me. I condemn Israel's aggression, but I absolutely fail to see how Hamas is helping the situation by lobbing rockets at Israel. I fail to see how Hamas expects or wants anything other than total warfare through their actions.

Israel occupied Palestinian territory and won several wars. Muslims have done the same thing throughout all their history. Imagine if the people Muslims conquered acted as aggressively as Hamas does to the Israelis. Imagine if the Christians and Jews in Al-Andalus threw stones at their Muslim conquerers and sent assassins into Muslim neighborhoods.

I don't care who started it or which side is worse. As far as I'm concerned, anyone on either side who seeks to use violence is culpable, and deserves condemnation from Muslims and Westerners alike.

Depends on the source you consult. I've heard the Muslims were not particularly kind to the Indians they conquered.

But that doesn't even matter. Like I said, I don't care who "started" it. Palestinians say Israel started it by treating them horribly; Israelis say that the Palestinians started it by attacking them with terrorists and suicide bombers. But it doesn't matter who started the conflict now—all that matters is what methods will best end it.

Would you agree that Hamas has done absolutely nothing to end this conflict?
