Dia dibuang kerja kerana mempersoalkan<br />prosedur memproses makanan secara luar tabi'i. Lantas dia bergabung tenaga dan kepakaran dengan Blanc dari Swiss Federal Institute of Biochemistry dan University Institute for Biochemistry. .<br /><br />Kedua-dua saintis ini mengkaji kesan makanan mikro gelombang terhadap lapan<br />individu dengan mengambil darah mereka sejurus selepas mengambil makanan<br />gelombang mikro.. Blanc dan Hertel mendapati paras haemoglobin individu-individu<br />ini telah menurun. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan orang yang makan makanan<br />gelombang mikro cenderung mendapat anaemia (kekurangan darah). Situasi bertambah<br />jelas pada bulan kedua penyelidikan.<br /><br />Itu baru dua bulan diberi makan makanan gelombang mikro, bagaimana kalau kita<br />memakannya berbulan-bulan, bertahun-tahun?<br /><br />Sepuluh sebab ketuhar gelombang mesti dibuang<br /><br />Perhatikan fakta hasil kajian klinikal saintifik Swiss, Jerman dan Rusia di<br />bawah ini:<br /><br />1. Makan makanan yang melalui proses ketuhar gelombang mikro menyebabkan<br />kerosakan otak dalam jangka panjang iaitu ia 'memendekkan' utusan<br />elektrik di dalam otak (depolarizing atau demagnetizing tisu otak).<br />2. Badan manusia tidak mampu meleraikan (metabolize) bahan makanan yang<br />dimasak/dipanaskan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro.<br />3. Pengeluaran hormon lelaki dan perempuan terhenti dan/atau berubah dengan<br />mengambil makanan gelombang mikro.<br /><br />Kesan makanan gelombang mikro<br />4 . sebenarnya ibarat sisa/sampah di dalam badan manusia.<br />5. Mineral, vitamin dan khasiat makanan gelombang mikro berkurang atau berubah.<br />Jadi badan kita dapat sedikit sahaja manfaat makanan. Badan kita juga menyerap<br />kompaun-kompaun yang berubah itu, dan tidak dapat meleraikannya.<br />6. Mineral-mineral di dalam sayuran berubah menjadi radikal bebas yang<br />menyebabkan kanser apabila dimasak/dipanaskan di dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro.<br />Ini antara punca mengapa pengidap kanser meningkat.<br />7. Makanan gelombang mikro menyebabkan ketumbuhan kanser di dalam perut dan<br />usus-juga menjadi punca meningkatnya penghidap penyakit ini.<br />8. Makan makanan gelombang mikro berpanjangan menyebabkan sel-sel kanser<br />meningkat di dalam darah manusia.<br />9. Makan makanan gelombang mikro secara berterusan juga menyebabkan merosotnya<br />sistem imun melalui kelenjar limpa dan pengubahan serum darah.<br />10. Makanan gelombang mikro menyebabkan hilang daya ingatan, tumpuan,<br />kestabilan emosi dan mengurangkan kecerdikan.setiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-59122135008957742252009-01-13T15:29:00.001+08:002009-01-13T15:33:02.258+08:00DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACHIt is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after<br />waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have<br />proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of<br />water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well<br />as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found<br />successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure<br />for the following diseases:<br />Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat,<br />epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis,<br />kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles,<br />diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and<br />menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.<br /> <br />METHOD OF TREATMENT<br /> <br />1.. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml<br />glasses of water<br /> <br />2.. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45<br />minute<br /> <br />3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.<br /> <br />4.. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink<br />anything for 2 hours<br /> <br />5.. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water<br />at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually<br />increase it to 4 glasses per day.<br /> <br />6.. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and<br />others can enjoy a healthy life.<br /> <br />The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to<br />cure/control/ reduce main diseases:<br />1.. High Blood Pressure - 30 days<br />2.. Gastric - 10 days<br />3.. Diabetes - 30 days<br />4.. Constipation - 10 days<br />5.. Cancer - 180 days<br />6.. TB - 90 days<br />7.. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in<br />the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily.<br />This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement<br />of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.<br />It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work<br />in our life.<br />Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.<br />This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their<br />meals ...not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit<br />while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...<br />For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.<br />It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold<br />water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow<br />down the digestion.<br />Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be<br />absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the<br />intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best<br />to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.<br />A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every<br />heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.<br />Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.<br />You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart<br />attack.<br />Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.<br />60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not<br />wake up.<br />Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be<br />aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...<br /> <br />A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to<br />everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least<br />one life.<br /> <br /> <br />You may check the followin sites:<br /> <br /><a href="http://www.pyroenergen.com/articles/drinkwater.htm">http://www.pyroenergen.com/articles/drinkwater.htm</a><br /> <br /><a href="http://www.healthandfitnessreview.com/water-therapy-drink-water-first-thing-in-the-morning-on-an-empty-stomach/">http://www.healthandfitnessreview.com/water-therapy-drink-water-first-thing-in-the-morning-on-an-empty-stomach/</a><br /> <br /><a href="http://sandeep-pal.blogspot.com/2007/09/improve-your-living-by-drinking-water.html">http://sandeep-pal.blogspot.com/2007/09/improve-your-living-by-drinking-water.html</a><br /> <br />* * * * * * * * *<br /> <br />Red Roses...<br /><br />A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away. As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied,"I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."<br /><br /> The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose." He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers. As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother." She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave. The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house. <br />******<br /><br />Moral: Don't Send Artificial Loves to your parents. Give them the respect and courtesy they desire. They are your most precious Treasure, Care for them. God Forbid, if they leave this world then one can do nothing but regret.<br /><br />Love your family and relatives when they are alive don't wait until they are dead you start crying for them!!! What is the use, don't waste any quality time run and rush to your family and relatives and tell them how much you love them!!!!setiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-78967221243197134962009-01-06T14:22:00.001+08:002009-01-06T14:24:22.748+08:00RUSSIAN ANALYST PREDICTS DECLINE AND BREAKUP OF USAA leading Russian political analyst has said the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for collapse, and will divide into separate parts. <br /><br />Professor Igor Panarin said in an interview with the respected daily IZVESTIA published on Monday: "The dollar is not secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche, even though in the early 1980s there was no debt. By 1998, when I first made my prediction, it had exceeded $2 trillion. Now it is more than 11 trillion. This is a pyramid that can only collapse." <br /><br />The paper said Panarin's dire predictions for the U.S. economy, initially made at an international conference in Australia 10 years ago at a time when the economy appeared strong, have been given more credence by this year's events. <br /><br />When asked when the U.S. economy would collapse, Panarin said: "It is already collapsing. Due to the financial crisis, three of the largest and oldest five banks on Wall Street have already ceased to exist, and two are barely surviving. Their losses are the biggest in history. Now what we will see is a change in the regulatory system on a global financial scale: America will no longer be the world's financial regulator." <br /><br />When asked who would replace the U.S. in regulating world markets, he said: "Two countries could assume this role: China, with its vast reserves, and Russia, which could play the role of a regulator in Eurasia." <br /><br />Asked why he expected the U.S. to break up into separate parts, he said: "A whole range of reasons. Firstly, the financial problems in the U.S. will get worse. Millions of citizens there have lost their savings. Prices and unemployment are on the rise. General Motors and Ford are on the verge of collapse, and this means that whole cities will be left without work. Governors are already insistently demanding money from the federal center. Dissatisfaction is growing, and at the moment it is only being held back by the elections and the hope that Obama can work miracles. But by spring, it will be clear that there are no miracles." <br /><br />He also cited the "vulnerable political setup", "lack of unified national laws", and "divisions among the elite, which have become clear in these crisis conditions." <br /><br />He predicted that the U.S. will break up into six parts - the Pacific coast, with its growing Chinese population; the South, with its Hispanics; Texas, where independence movements are on the rise; the Atlantic coast, with its distinct and separate mentality; five of the poorer central states with their large Native American populations; and the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong. <br /><br />He even suggested that "we could claim Alaska - it was only granted on lease, after all."

Indeed, the period between the 9th and 13th Centuries marked the Golden Age of Arabic science.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Great advances were made in mathematics, astronomy, medicine, physics, chemistry and philosophy. Among the many geniuses of that period Ibn al-Haytham stands taller than all the others.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Ibn al-Haytham is regarded as the father of the modern scientific method.<br /><br /> <br /><br />As commonly defined, this is the approach to investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge, based on the gathering of data through observation and measurement, followed by the formulation and testing of hypotheses to explain the data.<br /><br /> <br /><br />This is how we do science today and is why I put my trust in the advances that have been made in science.<br /><br /> <br /><br />But it is often still claimed that the modern scientific method was not established until the early 17th Century by Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes.<br /><br /> <br /><br />There is no doubt in my mind, however, that Ibn al-Haytham arrived there first.<br /><br />In fact, with his emphasis on experimental data and reproducibility of results, he is often referred to as the "world's first true scientist".<br /><br /> <br /><br />Understanding light<br /><br /> <br /><br />He was the first scientist to give a correct account of how we see objects.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />He proved experimentally, for instance, that the so-called emission theory (which stated that light from our eyes shines upon the objects we see), which was believed by great thinkers such as Plato, Euclid and Ptolemy, was wrong and established the modern idea that we see because light enters our eyes.<br /><br /> <br /><br />What he also did that no other scientist had tried before was to use mathematics to describe and prove this process.<br /><br /> <br /><br />So he can be regarded as the very first theoretical physicist, too.<br /><br /> <br /><br />He is perhaps best known for his invention of the pinhole camera and should be credited with the discovery of the laws of refraction.<br /><br /> <br /><br />He also carried out the first experiments on the dispersion of light into its constituent colours and studied shadows, rainbows and eclipses; and by observing the way sunlight diffracted through the atmosphere, he was able to work out a rather good estimate for the height of the atmosphere, which he found to be around 100km.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Enforced study<br /><br /> <br /><br />In common with many modern scholars, Ibn-al Haytham badly needed the time and isolation to focus on writing his many treatises, including his great work on optics.<br /><br />An unwelcome opportunity was granted him, however, when he was imprisoned in Egypt between 1011 and 1021, having failed a task set him by a caliph in Cairo to help solve the problem of regulating the flooding of the Nile.<br /><br /> <br /><br />While still in Basra, Ibn al-Haytham had claimed that the Nile's autumn flood waters could be held by a system of dykes and canals, thereby preserved as reservoirs until the summer's droughts.<br /><br /> <br /><br />But on arrival in Cairo, he soon realised that his scheme was utterly impractical from an engineering perspective.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Yet rather than admit his mistake to the dangerous and murderous caliph, Ibn-al Haytham instead decided to feign madness as a way to escape punishment.<br /><br /> <br /><br />This promptly led to him being placed under house arrest, thereby granting him 10 years of seclusion in which to work.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Planetary motion<br /><br /> <br /><br />He was only released after the caliph's death. He returned to Iraq where he composed a further 100 works on a range of subjects in physics and mathematics.<br /><br /> <br /><br />While travelling through the Middle East during my filming, I interviewed an expert in Alexandria who showed me recently discovered work by Ibn al-Haytham on astronomy.<br /><br /> <br /><br />It seems he had developed what is called celestial mechanics, explaining the orbits of the planets, which was to lead to the eventual work of Europeans like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Newton.<br /><br /> <br /><br />It is incredible that we are only now uncovering the debt that today's physicists owe to an Arab who lived 1,000 years ago.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Professor Jim Al-Khalili presents Science and Islam on BBC Four at 2100GMT on Monday 5, 12 & 19 Januarysetiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-2432279431144712452009-01-05T07:54:00.005+08:002009-01-05T08:10:50.368+08:00SELOKA KEDAH<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;

Cressy Morrison, former President of the New York Academy of Sciences, first appeared in the "Reader's Digesf' (January 1948); then on recommendation of Professor C. A. Coulson, F. R.S., Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, was republished in the Reader's Digest November 1960) </span>- It shows how science compels the scientists to admit to the essential need of a Supreme Creator. <br />We are still in the dawn of the scientific age and every increase of light reveals more brightly the handiwork of an intelligent Creator. In the 90 years since Darwin we have made stupendous discoveries; with a spirit of scientific humanity and of faith grounded in knowledge we are approaching even nearer to an awareness of God.<br />For myself I count seven reasons for my faith. <br /><br /></span><b><span style="font-size:180%;color:#800000;">First:</span></b><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />By unwavering mathematical law we can prove that our universe was designed and executed by a great engineering Intelligence. Suppose you put ten coins, marked from one to ten, into your pocket and give them a good shuffle. Now try to take them out in sequence from one to ten, pulling back the coin each time and shaking them all again. Mathematically we know that your chance of first drawing number one is one in ten; of drawing one and two in succession, one in 100; of drawing one, two and three in succession, one in a thousand, and so on; your chance of drawing them all, from one to number ten in succession, would reach the unbelievable figure of one chance in ten thousand million. <br />By the same reasoning, so many exacting conditions are necessary for life on earth that they could not possibly exist in proper relationship by chance. The earth rotates on its axis at one thousand miles an hour; if it turned at one hundred miles an hour, our days and nights would be ten times as long as now, and the hot sun would then burn up our vegetation during each long day, while in the long night any surviving sprout would freeze. <br />Again, the sun, source of our life, has a surface temperature of 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and our earth is, just far enough away so that this 'eternal fire" warms us just enough and not too much! If the sun gave off only one-half its present radiation, we would freeze, and if it gave half as much more, we would roast. <br />The slant of the earth, tilted at an angle of 23 degrees, gives us our season; if it had not been so tilted, vapours from the ocean would move north and south, piling up for us continents of ice. If our moon was, say, only 50 thousand miles away instead of its actual distance. Our tides would be so enormous that twice a day all continents would be submerged; even the mountains would soon be eroded away. If the crust of the earth had been only ten feet thicker, there would be no oxygen without which animal life must die. Had the ocean been a few feet deeper, carbon dioxide and oxygen would have been absorbed and no vegetable life could exist. Or if our atmosphere had been thinner, some of the meteors, now burned in space by the million evey day; would be striking all parts of the earth, starting fires everywhere. Because of these, and host of other examples, there is not one chance in millions that life on our planet is an accident. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#800000;"><b>Second: </b></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />The resourcefulness of life to accomplish its purpose is a manifestation of all-pervading Intelligence. What life itself is no man has fathomed. It has neither weight nor dimensions, but it does have force; a growing root will crack a rock. Life has conquered water, land and air, mastering the element, compelling them to dissolve and reform their combinations.<br />Life, the sculptor, shapes all living things; an artist, it designs every leaf of every tree, and colours every flower. Life is a musician and has each bird to sing its love songs, the insects to call each other in the music of their multitudinous sounds. Life is a sublime chemist, giving taste to fruits and spices, and perfume to the rose changing water and carbonic acid into sugar and wood and, in so doing, releasing oxygen that animals may have the breath of life. <br />Behold an almost invisible drop of protoplasm, transparent and jelly-like, capable of motion, drawiug energy from the sun. This single cell, this transparent mistlike droplet, holds within itself the germ of life, and has the power to distribute this life to every living thing, great and small. The powers of this droplet are greater than our vegetation and animals and people, for all life came from it. Nature did not create life; fire-blistered rocks and a saltless sea could not meet the necessarv requirements. Who, then, has put it here ? <br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#800000;">Third:</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Animal wisdom speaks irresistibly of a good Creator who infused instinct into otherwise helpless little creatures. The young salmon spends years at sea, then comes back to his own river; and travels up the very side of the river into which flows The tributary where he was born. What brings him back so precisely? If you transfer him to another tributary he will know at once that he is off his course and he will fight his way down and back to the main stream and then turn up against the current to finish his destiny more accurately.<br />Even more difficult to solve is the mystery of eels. These amazing creatures migrate at maturity from all ponds and rivers everywhere - those from Europe across thousands of miles of oceans - all bound for the same abysmal deeps near Bermuda. There they breed and die. The little ones, with no apparent means of knowing anything except that they are in a wilderness of water; nevertheless find their way back not only to the very shore from which their parent came but thence to the rivers, lakes or little ponds - so that each body of water is always populated with eels. No American eel has ever been caught in Europe, no European eel in American waters. Nature has even delayed the maturity of the European eel by a year or more to make up for its longer journey. Where does the directing iruptilse originate?<br />A wasp will overpower a grasshopper, dig a hole in the earth, sting the grasshopper in exactly the right place so that he does not die but becomes unconscious and lives on as a form of preserved meat. Then the Wasp will lay her eggs handily so that her children when they hatch can nibble witliout killing' the insect on which they feed, to them dead meat would be fatal. The mother then flies way and dies; she never sees her young. Surely the wasp must have done all this right the first time and every time, or else there would be no wasp. Such mysterious techniques cannot be explained by adaption; they were bestowed. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#800000;"><b>Fourth:</b></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Man has something more than animal instinct - the power of reason.<br />No other animal has ever left a record of its ability to count ten or even to understand the meaning of ten. Where instinct is like a single note of a flute, beautiful but limited, the human brain contains all the notes of all the instruments in the orchestra. No need to belabor this fourth point; thanks to the human, reason we can contemplate the possibility that we are what we are only because we have received a spark of Universal Intelligence. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#800000;"><b>Fifth: </b></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Provision for all living is revealed in phenomena which we know today but which Darwin did not know - such as the wonders of genes. So unspeakably tiny are these genes that, if all of them responsible for all living people in the world could be put in one place, there would be less than a thimbleful. Yet these ultra-microscopic genes and their companions, the chromosomes, inhabit every living cell and are the absolute keys to all human, animal and vegetable characteristics. A thimble is a small place in which to put all the individual characteristics of two thousand million human beings. However; the facts are beyond question. Well then, how do genes lock up all the normal heredity of a multitude of ancestors and preserve the psychology of each in such an infinitely small space? Here evolution really begins - at the cell, the entity which holds and carries genes. How a few million atoms, locked up as an ultra-microscopic gene, can absolutely rule all on earth is an example of profound cunning and provision that could emanate only from a Creative Intelligence - no other hypothesis will serve. <br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#800000;"><b>Sixth:</b></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />By the economy of nature, we are forced to realize that only infinite wisdom could have foreseen and prepared with such astute husbandry.<br />Many years ago a species of cactus was planted in Australia as a protective fence. Having no insect enemies in Australia the cactus soon began a prodigious growth; the alarming abundance persisted until the plants covered an area as long and wide as England, crowding inhabitants out of the towns and villages, and destroying their farms. Seeking a defence, the entomologists scoured the world; finally they turned up an insect which exclusively feeds on cactus, and would eat nothing else. It would breed freely too; and it had no enemies in Australia. So animal soon conquered vegetable and today the cactus pest has retreated, and with it all but a small protective residue of the insects, enough to hold the cactus in check for ever.<br />Such checks and balances have been universally provided. Why have not fast-breeding insects dominated the earth? Because they have no lungs such as man possesses; they breathe through tubes. But when insects grow large, their tubes do not grow in ratio to the increasing size of the body. Hence there has never beetn an insect of great size; this limitation on growth has held them all in check.<br />If this physical check had not been provided, man could not exist. Imagine meeting a hornet as big as a lion! <br /><br /></span><b><span style="font-size:180%;color:#800000;">Seven: </span></b><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />The fact that man can conceive the idea of God is in itself a unique proof.<br />The conception of god rises from a divine faculty of man, unshared with the rest of our world - the faculty we call imagination. By its power, man and man alone can fmd the evidence of things unseen. The vista that power opens up is unbounded; indeed, as man is perfected, imagination becomes a spiritual reality. He may discern in all the evidence of design and purpose the great truth that heaven is wherever and whatever is; that God is everywhere and in everything, but nowhere so close as in our hearts. It is scientifically as well as imaginatively true; in the words of the palmist; The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth His handiwork. <br />Source:<br />God -An Islamic Perspective<br />By: Allamah Sayyed Saeed Akhtar Rizvi</span></span><br /></span>setiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-77419594360271504582008-11-17T08:02:00.000+08:002008-11-17T08:03:39.560+08:00SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR SLEEP....<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">SLEEP</span></i><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><i>Assalaamu<span style="color: navy;"> A</span>l<span style="color: navy;">a</span>ikkum wara<span style="color: navy;">h</span>matu<span style="color: navy;">llahi</span> wabarakatu<span style="color: navy;">hu!</span></i> </span></span></p> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">(Peace be upon you with God's blessings and prosper)...</span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> <br /><i><span style="color: navy;">Do you</span> know what happens when you sleep?? </i><br /> <br /></p></span><i><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Allah says in the <b><u>Quran:</u></b></span></i><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span><i><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not</span></i></span> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">(He takes) during their sleep: </span></i><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <i> those on whom He has passed the decree of </i></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">death, He keeps back (from returning to life),<span style="color: navy;"> </span>but the rest He</span></i><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <i>sends (to their </i></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">bodies) for a term appointed.<span style="color: navy;"> </span>Verily in</span></i><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <i>this are <b><span style="color: red;">signs</span></b> for those who reflect.</i> </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: navy;"> </span><b><i><u><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Quran, Chapter 39 verse 42</span></u></i></b></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><br /><br /></span><b><i><u><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">This means:</span></u></i><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></b><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><i>every time you sleep, Allah takes your</i> <i>souls,<span style="color: navy;"> </span>amongst many </i></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">other souls he takes during sleeping.

You think 'OK, I know this is bad but it can't be that bad!' Think again. Here are the top seven foods you should never ever feed your family or yourself! <b><span style="color:red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;color:red;" ><br /><br />1.Doughnuts </span></span></b></span></span><br /><br /><img alt="user posted image" src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.1&disp=emb&view=att&th=11c2cd5e39aaf2b7" border="0" height="277" width="365" /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><br /><br />It's hard to resist the smell of a Krispy Kreme doughnut, which is why I never step foot in the store. Doughnuts are fried chock-full of sugar and white flour and loads of trans fat.<br /><br />According to the Krispy Kreme website, an average 3.5 ounce sugar doughnut weighs in with about 400 calories and contains few other nutrients besides fat. These sugary treats may satisfy your craving but it won't satisfy your hunger as most of the calories come from fat.<br /><br />'Eating a lot of refined sugar contributes to blood sugar 'swings' or extreme fluctuations,' eDiets Chief Nutritionist Susan Burke said.<b><span style="color:red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;color:red;" ><br /><br /><br />2. Cheeseburger with fries </span></span></b></span></span><br /><br /><img alt="user posted image" src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.2&disp=emb&view=att&th=11c2cd5e39aaf2b7" border="0" height="264" width="283" /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><br /><br />The age-old classic may be delicious but think twice before sinking your teeth into that Big Mac. The saturated fat found in cheese burgers has been linked to heart attacks, strokes and some types of cancer..<br /><br />'In fact, fast-food portions are gargantuan, almost double the calories per meal compared to 20 years ago,' Susan says. 'Twenty years ago the average fast-food cheeseburger had about 300 calories. Today's BK Whopper with cheese has 720. To burn the excess 420 calories, you'd have to run for 40 minutes. For example, in 1985 a medium French fry had 240 calories, 2.4 ounces. Today's 'medium' is 6.9 ounces and 610 calories.<br /><br />'This fast-food meal of cheeseburger and fries has way too many calories and fat grams, not to mention grams of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol and sodium.'<br /><br />Let's break down this meal. First, take the white-flour bun (refined carbohydrates) , then add some processed cheese (saturated fat and trans fat, plus lots of additives and preservatives) and then top off with fried red meat (cholesterol and saturated fats). And let's not forget about the condiments such as the always fattening mayonnaise.<br /><br />Not sounding so appetizing anymore, huh? Oh, and let's not forget about the infamous side dish. You cheeseburger will most likely come with a side of French fries, which is sadly the most popular vegetable dish in the U.S. Don't kid yourself, French fries are not vegetables, they are extremely high in fat and contain a tiny amount of nutrients. <b><span style="color:red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;color:red;" ><br /><br />3. Fried Chicken and Chicken Nuggets </span></span></b></span></span><br /><br /><img alt="user posted image" src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.3&disp=emb&view=att&th=11c2cd5e39aaf2b7" border="0" height="225" width="300" /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><br /><br />With the recent class-action lawsuit between The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and KFC, the health risks posed by fried foods are becoming more public. The CSPI is suing the food chain for their use of cooking oil containing unhealthy trans fats. The lawsuit seeks to order KFC to use other types of cooking oils and to inform customers how much trans fats KFC's food contains.<br /><br />Foods cooked in highly heated oils (most notably partially hydrogenated oil) have been known to cause cancer, weight gain and other serious health risks if ingested regularly. A 10-piece chicken McNugget from McDonald's has 420 calories, 24 grams of fat and 1120 milligrams of sodium. One Extra Crispy Chicken Breast from KFC has around 420 calories and eight grams of saturated fat. So unless you want to super size yourself, it's best to make a clean break with fried foods. <b><span style="color:red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;color:red;" ><br /><br /><br />4. Oscar Mayer's Lunchables</span></span></b></span></span><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><br /><br />Sure they are convenient and easy, but boy are they unhealthy! These kid-marketed lunches are loaded with saturated fat and sodium. They usually contain highly processed meats and cheeses, white flour crackers and sugary treats. Lunchables get two-thirds of their calories from fat and sugar. And they provide lopsided nutrition since they contain no fruits or vegetables.<br /><br />'They insidiously promote obesity by making kids think that lunch normally comes in a cellophane-wrapped box,' Susan says. 'Parents are promoting their children's obesity by buying these items. They're expensive, too. Pack a sandwich and save dollars and health.' <b><span style="color:red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;color:red;" ><br /><br /><br />5. Sugary Cereal</span></span></b> </span></span><br /><br /><img alt="user posted image" src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.5&disp=emb&view=att&th=11c2cd5e39aaf2b7" border="0" height="200" width="301" /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><br /><br />Not all cereals are created equally. And while your kids might beg for the latest cookie or marshmallow chocolate surprise cereals, it is a safe bet they are about as healthy as a dessert. Keywords to look out for are puffed, dyed and sweetened.<br /><br />Most kids' cereals are so highly processed they no longer look like the grains they were originally made from. A healthy alternative is oatmeal. Although, if you are buying pre-packaged oatmeal make sure to check the label and see how much sugar it contains, you might be surprised.<br /><br />'A little sugar isn't a problem but when the first ingredient on the box is sugar, then watch out,' she said. 'There is no fruit in Froot Loops. But the unsweetened original Cheerios or Rice Krispies are fine, and you can sweeten them naturally with blueberries and strawberries.' <b><span style="color:red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;color:red;" ><br /><br /><br />6. Processed Meats. </span></span></b></span></span><br /><br /><img alt="user posted image" src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.6&disp=emb&view=att&th=11c2cd5e39aaf2b7" border="0" height="150" width="200" /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><br /><br />What falls under the category of processed meats? Hot dogs, sausage, jerky, bacon, certain lunch meats and meats used in canned soup products. Almost all processed meats have sodium nitrite added as a preservative.<br /><br />A recent study conducted at the University of Hawaii found that sodium nitrite can act as 'a precursor to highly carcinogenic nitrosamines -- potent cancer-causing chem! icals th a t accelerate the formation and growth of cancer cells throughout the body.' So eliminate these meats from your diet before they eliminate you! <b><span style="color:red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;color:red;" ><br /><br /><br />7. Canned soup.</span></span></b> </span></span><br /><br /><img alt="user posted image" src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.7&disp=emb&view=att&th=11c2cd5e39aaf2b7" border="0" height="210" width="171" /><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><br /><br />Sometimes regarded as a healthy food, soups can be very deceiving. You must stay on your guard because many canned soups have high levels of trans fats, sodium and artificial preservatives such as MSG. Just one serving (which is roughly one cup) can have almost 1,000 milligrams of salt. Also, steer clear of soups that are cream-based, they can be high in calories and fat.<br /><br />Susan says it is important to 'read labels from back to front. Ignore the health claims, and instead focus on the ingredients and serving size. Watch out for hydrogenated fat (trans fat) and sodium. If you're buying bread to go with you soup, the first ingredient should be whole grain -- either whole wheat, rye or other grain. If it just says 'wheat bread,' that doesn't mean whole wheat.'<br /><br />We all want our family to be healthy and happy, so steer clear of these foods. Think it's difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle? Think again!<span style="color:navy;"><span style="color:navy;"> </span></span></span></span>setiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-26248922981048245502008-08-18T17:00:00.003+08:002008-08-18T17:07:26.308+08:00Christian Zionist Messianic: How It Views Islam and Muslims<b><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;color:maroon;" >Christian Zionist Messianic: How It Views Islam and Muslims</span></b> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br /><b><span style="color:navy;">By Yoginder Sikand (an Indian writer)</span></b></span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Represented by literally hundreds of small denominations and churches today, particularly in America, evangelical Christian Zionist messianic is today a formidable force and a major actor in global politics. It exercises an enormous clout in the current Bush administration in America. George Bush, too, himself can be characterized as an arch upholder of this ideology, and his policies in the Middle East and elsewhere clearly reflect or tally with the Christian Zionist messianic agenda. Firmly supportive of Zionism, Israel and Israeli expansionism, Christian Zionist messianism is today one of the principal fountainheads of Islamophobia on the global scene.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />This paper provides a general overview of the ideology of Christian Zionist messianism, focusing, in particular, on the way Islam and Muslims are depicted as an integral part ”in the role of the antagonistic “Other” of this ideology. It shows how Christian Zionist messianic expectations generate enormously destructive imperialistic and militaristic tendencies that threaten to drown the world in an unprecedented global war, with Muslims being projected as the principal “enemy”. The implications of this dangerous ideology, a combination of centuries of white racism and Islamophobia, Zionist claims to supremacy and aims at global domination and the machinations of the present global capitalistic order, for Muslims, and for the world at large, are then sought to be outlined. This it does by looking specifically at the writings and activities of one of the leading American Christian Zionist ideologues of today, John Hagee, senior pastor of the Cornerstone Church in San Antonia in Texas, in America’s notorious “Bible-belt”, which is also the bastion of white racism and supremacy in America.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br /><b>Introduction<br /></b><br />Approximately a tenth of the American population are today devoted members of the cult of Christian Zionist messianism, writes the noted scholar-activist Dan Cohn-Sherbook, himself a Jew and Professor of Judaism at the University of Wales in a recently published book, The Politics of Apocalypse ”The History and Influence of Christian Zionism. 'It is the fastest growing religious movement in Christianity today', he writes. Many followers of the cult are from the middle and upper-middle classes, followers of televangelists who wield enormous political and economic clout.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Christian Zionist Messianic are impelled by an imperialistic vision, of Jesus' impending arrival on earth as the Messiah, when he shall, so they believe, wipe out all his enemies (all non-Christians, presumably) and establish his global dominion, with his capital at Jerusalem. Meanwhile, Christian Zionists believe that they, as allegedly God's chosen people, will be spared the horrors of the global war that shall precede Jesus' advent, and will be miraculously wafted up to heaven, where they shall watch the final destruction of the world.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Christian Zionists believe that Jesus can only return to the world once the Jews colonize Palestine. This belief is based on the contentious claim that God had granted this land to the progeny of Abraham, through Isaac, that is the Jews, for eternity. This land is not restricted to the present borders of the state of Israel. Instead, Zionists, both Jewish and Christian, believe that a vast swathe of land, stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates, today inhabited by millions of Arab Muslims and Christians, belongs rightfully to the Jews, and so must be ethnically 'cleansed' of non-Jewish presence. Hence the justification they offer for their genocidal project aimed at the Arabs. Hence, too, their consistent backing to Israel, their generous funding of Jewish settlements in Palestine, and their enormous pressure on successive American governments to adopt rigorously pro-Israel and anti Palestinian policies.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Cohn-Sherbook traces the origins of Christian Zionism to the changing attitude of Christian groups towards the Jews following the Protestant Revolution. The early Catholic Church justified the witch-hunt of the Jews, labeling them as alleged Christ-killers. However, numerous Protestant sects, while equally vehemently anti-Jewish, believed that the Jews needed to colonize Palestine before Jesus would re-appear in the world to save it. This was, and still is, by no means a generous acceptance of the Jews. Rather, they believed, as Christian Zionists today do, that only those Jews who accepted Jesus as the Messiah would be saved. The rest would ally themselves with the Anti-Christ and would be defeated by Jesus and his forces and, consequently, would be sent off to eternal damnation in the fires of hell.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />From the seventeenth century onwards, Cohn-Sherbook shows, numerous European, and, later American, Protestant churches began evolving schemes to settle the Jews in Palestine. This was also seen as a convenient way of getting rid of the Jewish presence in Europe. They petitioned various European powers to back this scheme. By the early nineteenth century, numerous British administrators had been won round to this idea, impelled, no doubt, also by a motive to undermine the Ottoman Empire, which at that time controlled Palestine, and by a deep-rooted aversion to Islam.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Increasingly, Christian Zionists began to join hands with secular Jewish Zionists, whose plans to settling Jews in Israel had nothing to do with any messianic hopes, but, rather, arose as a response to the centuries-old persecution of Jews by European Christians. (In contrast, Cohn-Sherbook rightly notes, “In Arab lands, Jews had flourished for centuries [while] in European countries Jewry had been subject to oppression and persecution”. </span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br /><br />Ties between secular Jewish Zionists and Christian Zionists to pursue the common project of Jewish colonization of Palestine were strengthened by the support given to Theodore Herzl (b.1860), the Hungarian Jew who is regarded as the father of modern-day Zionism. Cohn-Sherbook traces in considerable detail the course of this close collaboration down to the present-day, describing the strong political and financial links between Christian and Israeli/Jewish Zionists and also the enormous clout of the Zionist lobby in American political circles.<br /><br />Christian Zionism, based on a virulently anti-Islamic agenda, is a major hurdle to peace not just in West Asia but globally, too. Indeed, some Christian Zionists even ardently wish (and work for) a final global war or Armageddon, in the belief that this would accelerate their hoped-for wafting up to heaven and the subsequent arrival of Jesus. Christian Zionist messianic is a call for global war. The belief that Christianity is the sole truth, that all other faiths are “Satanic” or “false”, that the Jews must all gather in Palestine to fulfill so-called Biblical prophecies, and that a grand global war will soon erupt leading to the massacre of hundreds of millions and heralding the “second coming” of Jesus, who will establish his Christian kingdom extending till the four corners of the world, clearly indicate the hate-driven, global expansionist project of Christian Zionism.<br /><br /></span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >In his remarkable book, The Cross and the Crescent: The Rise of American Evangelism and the Future of Muslims, Muhammad Arif Zakaullah brings out in considerable detail how Christian Zionist messianic have specifically framed and targeted Muslims as allegedly being in league with the Anti-Christ and against whom Jesus and the Christians must fight in a bloody war of unprecedented dimensions in the last days. This explains, Zakaullah writes, their unstinting support to Israel and its brutal suppression of the Palestinians, and their fervent backing of America’s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and its so-called “war on terror”. Zakaullah quotes several leading American Christian messianic evangelists as describing Islam and Muslims in lurid colours and branding it as irredeemably ‘anti-Christian’. Not surprisingly, he writes, they have been among the most fierce backers of America’s imperialist misadventures that many Muslims see as directed against them. American imperialism is thus sought to be given a suitable ‘Christian’ sanction, and is presented as working to usher in Jesus’ triumphant return to the world. War and bloodshed on an unimaginable scale, mainly against Muslims, and not peace and reconciliation, American Christian fundamentalists seem to believe, will herald the eventual establishment of the Kingdom of God, the rule of supposedly pious Christians all over the globe.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />John Hagee: Ideologue of Christian Zionist Messianic Imperialism and Advocate Of Cosmic War Against Islam and Muslims John Hagee is today recognized the world over as one of the leading ideologues of contemporary Christian Zionist messianic. He is the founder and pastor of the Cornerstone Church, in Texas, USA, which claims some 18,000 active members.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />As with numerous other similar American Christian fundamentalist preachers, his church is richly endowed and media savvy. Hagee is the president of the ”Global Evangelism” media company that broadcasts his daily programmes on television and radio throughout the USA and around the world. He is the author of numerous books on Christian Zionism, some of which have been reprinted by Christian fundamentalist publishers abroad as well.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Final Dawn over Jerusalem is one of Hagee’s major writings on Christian Zionism that well exemplifies the imperialist agenda that lies at its very core. The aim of the book is to defend the Israeli occupation of Palestine, to denounce those who seek to protest Israeli atrocities, and to advocate the cause of “Greater Israel”, all this in the name of Christianity and premised on the notion of the Jews as being allegedly God’s “Chosen People”.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Racism is integral to the Christian Zionist message, as Hagee makes amply clear. The Bible, Hagee, says, describes the Jews as “the apple of God’s eye” [Zech 2:8]. He quotes the Bible as addressing the Jews and declaring, “For you are a holy people to the LORD your God and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.” [Deut.14:2]. This means, so Hagee argues, that those who harm the Jews or the state of Israel or stand in the way of the design of “Greater Israel” will “experience the instant wrath of God”. To those who dare to challenge the oppressive Zionist state, Hagee announces, “The man or nation that lifts a voice or hand against Israel invites the wrath of God.” Such people will, Hagee insists, be “cursed” by God.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Hagee’s notion of God thus appears to be that of a tribal Jewish deity, who functions as a willing tool in the pursuit of Jewish expansionism. The Bible was written by Jewish hands, and given that, as many liberal Christians would themselves concede, much of it is a human product, numerous Biblical verses were written in order to legitimize the interests of the community from which its writers were drawn. This would seem obvious to any discerning layman, but Biblical literalists like Hagee vehemently disagree. For them every word of the Bible is sacrosanct and divine. Biblical literalism is pressed into the service of the Christian Zionist messianic imperialist and racist agenda. Drawing upon numerous verses of the Bible, Hagee argues, “God watches over Israel as a protective parent hovers over an only child”. “The nation of Israel”, he makes so bold as to declare, “was created by a sovereign act of God. All other nations were created by an act of war or a declaration of men, but Israel was intentionally created by God so that He would have a physical place of inheritance on the earth.” Accordingly, Hagee would have us believe that for this god, who is seen as in need of a “physical place” for himself, non-Jews or Gentiles, are second-rate human beings or less, and so can easily be dispensed with if they are seen as coming in the way of Jewish imperialism.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />The tribal Jewish version of God that Hagee presents appears entirely unjust and arbitrary, far from being impartial in the way he deals with His creation. Given the fact that the God of the Biblical literalism imagination is a Jewish deity, and not the universal God who looks upon His entire creation impartially, he is seen as blessing Jewish conquests of territories of their enemies. Thus, quoting the Bible, Hagee writes that God gave the land of “Greater Israel”, a vast swathe of land stretching from Egypt all the way till Iraq, to the Jews, descendants of Isaac, forever. That being the case, Hagee suggests that people living in those territories, millions of Arabs, both Muslims and Christians, have no right to live there or else must accept to live under Jewish rule. Although Hagee does not say this explicitly, what this means is that those who refuse to accept Jewish rule must, therefore, be either killed or expelled.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />The god of Hagee’s imagination appears as an entirely whimsical real estate agent. “God established Israel’s national geographic boundaries”, Hagee writes. “The exact borders of Israel are detailed in Scripture just as our heavenly Father dictated them”, he goes on, adding, “The divine Surveyor drove the original stakes into Judean soil and decreed that no one should ever change these property lines. The real estate contract and lands covenants were signed in blood and stand to this very hour”. Hence, he argues, “Jews have the absolute right as mandated by God to the land of Israel and, more specifically, to the city of Jerusalem”. Hence, he suggests, Palestinians have no claim to their own historical land, and must make way for Jewish occupiers.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Hagee’s defense of Zionist imperialism goes to ridiculous lengths. Laughable as this may sound, he argues, “Israel has a Spy in the sky” God Himself. God, he claims, provides Israel, the Jewish people and the state of Israel, with special protection. “No nation in the world can match the defensive force guarding the State of Israel. The archangel Michael has a special assignment to guard Israel”. And those who, for any reason oppose Israel, and this includes Palestinians fighting Israeli occupation and oppression, are said to incur God’s wrath. “The Lord stands watch in the darkest night with an eye trained on the nation of Israel and, more specifically, Jerusalem. Those who fight with Israel fight with Him”, Hagee asserts.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />So central is Israel to Hagee’s tribalisms version of God that he goes to the extent of arguing that the fate of each and every person on the face of the planet depends essentially on his or her attitude to the Jews. “Prosperity or punishment depends on how we treat Israel”, he alleges, because, he claims, the Jews, as descendants of Abraham “enjoy heavenly favour”. To back his claim he quotes the Bible as saying that when God entered into a covenant with Abraham, He gave him an “awesome promise”, saying, “I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you. And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” [Gen. 12:3]. Hence, Hagee insists, the United States, and, indeed, anyone else who wishes to please God, must consistently engage in “compassionate support of the State of Israel”, adding that, ”The quickest and most effective way to be on God's side is to stand with the State of Israel and the Jewish people in their hour of need”. By doing this, he claims, one can win God’s favour, because, “God blesses the man or nation that blesses Israel or the Jewish people”.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />At no time before, Hagee firmly believes, has support for Israel and Zionist imperialism, been more crucial than today. This is because, he claims, Jesus is returning to the world soon, and Israel must be protected in order to welcome the Messiah. Hagee’s image of Jesus in his “second coming” bears no resemblance to the familiar notion of the suffering, loving Christ. Rather, in his description Jesus appears as a fierce warrior, rallying Christians to arms and heralding the final, global war, ironically in the name of the “Prince of Peace”. In the doomsday scenario that Hagee outlines, what he calls ”fanatical attacks” by Arabs on Israel, particularly Jerusalem, would mount. In response, Christians the world over, he says, must rally behind Israel. At this hour, he insists, “we must let the world know that if a line has to be drawn, it will be drawn around Christians as well as Jews. We are united and indivisible”.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />The city of Jerusalem, Hagee believes, is the crux of the final battle before Jesus’ “second coming”. This city, considered sacred by Jews, Muslims and Christians alike, has been ordained, so Hagee argues, by God to be “under the exclusive control of the Jewish people” until Jesus arrives again. The final battle of Armageddon will, he writes, be centred on this city, with Arabs or Muslims seeking to wrest control of it from the Jews. In this regard, Hagee says, Christians, for their part, must staunchly defend Israel and must refuse any peace offers, such as allowing for a shared Jerusalem or joint control of the town by Jews and Arabs. In particular, he appeals to the United States to do everything in its power to back Israel and to crush its opponents, claiming this is the only way to win God’s favour. If America fails to do this, so he warns, it would be crushed by God Himself!</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Quoting various verses of the Bible, Hagee describes what he sees as the unfolding of events of cosmic proportions, ushering in a global war the like of which has never been witnessed hitherto and heralding the “second coming of Jesus”. In this global war, he says, Muslims, whom he regards as followers of a “false” religion, would ally with the Russians to fight against Israel. This would lead to a global nuclear war, with hundreds of millions being killed. At this point, the “Anti-Christ” will appear, attack Jerusalem and will take over the reigns of the world, falsely claiming to usher in peace. But, this grand deception will not last long, and, instead, will only lead to even more devastating wars. At this time, Hagee says, Christians must defend, by every means possible, the Jews and Israel, and wage war against the armies of those opposed to God’s “Chosen Race”, the Jews. Only then can they be saved, he insists.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />After years of global war and terrible destruction, Hagee writes, Jesus will be sent by God to deliver the world. Mounted on a white horse, he will arrive at the battlefield at Armageddon. Defeating the “Anti-Christ” and his army, he will establish his global kingdom with his capital in Jerusalem, there to ”rule and reign forever”. Hagee’s description of Jesus’ future global kingdom offers little cause to cheer for non-Christians, including, ironically, even the Jews whom he so ardently defends. It would, as he himself makes clear, be nothing short of a global Christian empire, and an antiquated one at that, with kings and queens and presidents still in place! How they would continue to be around when Jesus rules the whole world is a mystery that Hagee leaves unsolved.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Ruled by Jesus, Hagee writes, “Jerusalem, the apple of God’s eye, will become the joy of the world. The city will become the international worship center, and people from all over the world will make pilgrimages to worship in the holy temple. Kings, queens, princes and presidents shall come to the Holy City to adore Jesus”. Presumably, these all will be Christians themselves, for Hagee quotes the Bible as predicting that “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />In a more recent book on the same subject, titled Jerusalem Countdown: A Prelude to War, Hagee further elaborates on the theme of a global war against Islam and Muslims that he appeals to Christians and Jews to jointly launch, arguing that this is precisely what Jesus wants to happen before his Second Coming. Not surprisingly, and like other Christian Zionist messianic evangelists, Hagee is convinced that there can be absolutely no room for dialogue with Muslims, principally because, so he argues, Christians and Jews, on the one hand, and Muslims, on the other, do not worship the same God. In fact, he goes so far as to claim that the God of the Jews and the Christians is the diametrical opposite of the Muslim God. Accordingly, he presents Islam in the most lurid colours. He claims that Islam aims at nothing short of exterminating all non-Muslims and establishing a one-world Islamic government. Islam, he argues, is “a doctrine of death” which promotes “terrorism”. He approvingly quotes George Bush as having declared that America “is at war with Islamic fascists” and insists that “This is a religious war” and that “there is no room for compromise”.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Hagee writes that America, and “Christendom” more generally, along with the Jews, are now deeply involved in the final war that will supposedly herald the return of Jesus as messiah, a war in which Christians and Jews are pitted against Muslims. All Christians (and Jews), he asserts, must participate whole-heartedly in this cosmic war because, he says, if America loses the war, “[T]he Law of Shariah, the Islamic law, will rule America and the Western world. Christian churches and synagogues will be burned to the ground. Every Christian who refuses to denounce Jesus to accept Allah will be decapitated. Radical Islam does not want us to be quiet, they want us to be dead.”</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br />Hagee, like many of his fellow Christian fundamentalists, fervently exhorts America to take the lead in bloody attacks against Muslim states that are opposed to Israeli brutalities, because he sees these as fundamentally ”anti-Christian”. In this regard, he singles out Iran, one of the most militarily powerful Muslim countries in the world and certainly the most vocally opposed to American imperialism, for particular attack. He claims that Iran is rapidly building up a nuclear stockpile, which it intends, so he says, to use to bomb and destroy Israel and perhaps America. Before that can happen, he insists, America must take the initiative and invade and destroy Iran, particularly targeting its nuclear facilities. This step, he argues, would actually be “part of God’s plan for the future of Israel and the entire world”, in that it would drive the world to the global disaster of Armageddon, “the countdown that will usher in the end of the world”. This will be, so he claims, followed by the rise of the Anti-Christ, and then, finally, the Second Coming of Jesus, when all non-Christians, including Muslims, will be slain. In short, a global war against Islam and<br />Muslims is precisely what Hagee, like many others of his ilk, want to see unleashed in the hope that their wild messianic expectations will thereby be fulfilled.</span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><br /><b>Conclusion<br /></b><br />Based on a fundamental hatred for Islam and Muslims, a legacy of many centuries, Christian Zionist messianic has emerged as one of the most pressing and disastrous threats and challenges of our times. With the massive financial and political clout that it wields, particularly in America, it is the new face of Western imperialism, one that is inherently and fiercely opposed to people of other faiths and even to Christians who do not subscribe to its bloody doctrines.<br /><br />Islam and Muslims have a special place in the ideology of Christian Zionist messianic fascism: as alleged “enemies” of God. Based on this bizarre belief, theological sanction is sought for bloody wars against Muslims the world over. This ideology has instigated and is being used to justify American (and Israeli) imperialist aggression in many Muslim countries today, and possibly against Iran in the near future. Clearly, Muslims need to be aware of this dangerous project and take appropriate measures. So, also, do other non-Christians, who, like Muslims, are seen as doomed to hell by Christian fundamentalists. And so, too, do other Christians, who relate to their religious traditions in different ways and who firmly believe that the Christian Zionist messianic project represents a fundamental betrayal of the message of Jesus Christ, ironically a betrayal being so aggressively perpetrated in his name.</span></p><div>------------------------------<wbr>------------------------------<wbr>--------------<br />**Boycott Israel**Support Palestine** </div>setiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-7156331775864184822008-08-18T16:45:00.002+08:002008-08-18T16:49:47.559+08:00KURMA DARI ISRAEL...JAUHKAN DAN JANGAN BELI..<blockquote style="border-style: none none none solid; border-color: rgb(16, 16, 255); border-width: medium medium medium 1px; padding: 0in 0in 0in 4pt; margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-left: 4.2pt;"> <div> <div> <div><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:navy;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">Product of Israel</span></span></b></div></div></div> <div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></div></blockquote> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:navy;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;"><img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.1&disp=emb&view=att&th=11bd4844af647766" border="0" height="62" width="148" /> <img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.2&disp=emb&view=att&th=11bd4844af647766" border="0" height="62" width="62" /> </span></span> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:navy;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;"><img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.3&disp=emb&view=att&th=11bd4844af647766" border="0" height="140" width="525" /></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:navy;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;"><img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.4&disp=emb&view=att&th=11bd4844af647766" border="0" height="140" width="525" /></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:navy;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;"><img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.5&disp=emb&view=att&th=11bd4844af647766" border="0" height="221" width="368" /><img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.6&disp=emb&view=att&th=11bd4844af647766" border="0" height="200" width="155" /></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:78%;color:#404040;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-family: Arial;"><img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.7&disp=emb&view=att&th=11bd4844af647766" border="0" height="62" width="62" /><img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=aa71c490aa&attid=0.1.8&disp=emb&view=att&th=11bd4844af647766" border="0" height="39" width="267" /></span></span></div> <div> <div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </span></span></div></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Kurma berjenama "JORDAN RIVER" di atas bukanlah dari Jordan tetapi hasil Israel..</span><br /><b><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></b><br /><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bercetak jenama "Jordan River" itu sebenarnya bukan dari Jordan tetapi dihasilkan dari negara Israel ..dan diimport serta dikotakkan</span></b><br /><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">di Singapura tapi di edarkan di Malaysia.<span style="color:navy;"><span style="color: navy;"> </span></span>Ia ditanam di satu kawasan<span style="color:navy;"><span style="color: navy;"> </span></span>luas di bahagian timur Isreal yang bersempadan dengan Palestin.

Setiap hari 14 juta saraf yang membentuk otak ini berinteraksi dengan 16 juta saraf tubuh yang lain. Semua aktiviti yang kita lakukan dan kefahaman atau ilmu yang kita peroleh adalah natijah daripada aliran interaksi bio-elektrik yang tidak terbatas.</span><br /><span><br />Oleh itu, apabila seorang itu berzikir dengan mengulangi kalimat-kalimat Allah, seperti Subhanallah, beberapa kawasan otak yang terlibat menjadi aktif. Ini menyebabkan berlakunya satu aliran bio-elektrik di kawasan-kawasan saraf otak tersebut. Apabila zikir disebut berulang-ulang kali, aktiviti saraf ini menjadi bertambah aktif dan turut menambah tenaga bio-elektrik. Lama-kelamaan kumpulan saraf yang sangat aktif ini mempengaruhi kumpulan saraf yang lain untuk turut sama aktif. Dengan itu, otak menjadi aktif secara keseluruhan. Otak mula memahami perkara baru, melihat dari sudut perspektif berbeza dan semakin kreatif dan kritis, sedang sebelum berzikir otak tidak begini. Otak yang segar dan cergas secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi hati untuk melakukan kebaikan dan menerima kebenaran.<br /><br />Hasil kajian makmal yang dilakukan terhadap subjek ini dimuatkan dalam majalah Scientific American, keluaran Disember 1993. satu kajian yang dilakukan di Universiti Washington dan ujian ini dilakukan melalui ujian imbasan PET yang mengukur kadar aktiviti otak manusia secara tidak sedar. Dalam kajian ini, sukarelawan diberikan satu senarai perkataan benda. Mereka dikehendaki membaca setiap perkataan tersebut satu persatu dan mengaitkan perkataan-perkataan dengan kata kerja yang berkaitan. Apabila sukarelawan melakukan tugas mereka, beberapa bahagian berbeza otak mempamerkan peningkatan aktiviti saraf, termasuk di bahagian depan otak dan korteks.<br /><br />Menariknya, apabila sukarelawan ini mengulangi senarai perkataan yang sama berulang-ulang kali, aktiviti saraf otak merebak pada kawasan lain dan mengaktifkan kawasan saraf lain. Apabila senarai perkataan baru diberikan kepada mereka, aktiviti saraf kembali meningkat di kawasan pertama. Ini sekali gus membuktikan secara saintifik bahawa perkataan yang diulang-ulang seperti perbuatan berzikir, terbukti meningkatkan kecergasan otak dan menambah kemampuannya.<br /><br />Oleh itu, saudara-saudara ku seIslam, ketika saintis Barat baru menemui mukjizat ini, kita umat terpilih ini telah lama mengamalkannya dan menerima manfaatnya. Malang bagi mereka yang masih memandang enteng kepentingan berzikir dan mengabaikannya.</span>setiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-48114831672340618022008-07-22T19:02:00.006+08:002008-07-22T19:42:23.533+08:00Water or Coke?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR5UYTnIvqFdhSG38SiF7Z-fI98FezYJeWUsQkCsA4SMWXDE9m761R89uX822ZpL74eOgHJuMj4PBSlV4f3s327oP_GBI56OUGNLvwZnqhn2itpFRMxPWvSTsseMgxlLtE5th5I0jC-xlC/s1600-h/pouringinwater.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR5UYTnIvqFdhSG38SiF7Z-fI98FezYJeWUsQkCsA4SMWXDE9m761R89uX822ZpL74eOgHJuMj4PBSlV4f3s327oP_GBI56OUGNLvwZnqhn2itpFRMxPWvSTsseMgxlLtE5th5I0jC-xlC/s320/pouringinwater.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225793180085707378" border="0" /></a><br /><b><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:18;" >I could not believe this.....

This was usually the first reaction I encountered when my former classmates, friends and co-pastors saw me after having embraced Islam. I suppose I couldn't blame them, I was a highly unlikely the person to change religions. Formerly, I was a professor, pastor, church planter and missionary. If anyone was a radical fundamentalist it was I.</p> <p> </p> <p>I had just graduated with my Master's Degree of Divinity from an elite seminary five months before. It was after that time I met a lady who had worked in Saudi Arabia and had embraced Islam. Of course, <u><span style="color:#bf005f;">I asked her about the treatment of women in Islam</span></u>. <span style="color:#bf005f;"><u>I was shocked at her answer, it wasn't what I expected</u></span>, so I proceeded to ask other questions relating to God and Muhammad [may the blessing and mercy of God be upon him]. She informed me that she would take me to the Islamic Center where they would be better able to answer my questions.</p> <p> </p> <p>Being prayed up, meaning-asking Jesus for protection against demon spirits, seeing that <u><span style="color:#bf005f;">what we had been taught about Islam is that it is Demonic and Satanic religion</span></u>. Having taught Evangelism, I was quite shocked at their approach, it was direct and straightforward. No intimidation, no harassment, no psychological manipulation, no subliminal influence! None of this, "Let's have a Quranic study in your house," like a counter part of the Bible study. I couldn’t believe it! They gave me some books and told me if I had some questions they were available to answer them in the office. That night I read all of the books they gave. It was the first time I had ever read a book about Islam written by a Muslim, we had studied and read books about Islam only written by Christians. The next day I spent three hours at the office asking questions. <u><span style="color:#0000ff;">This went on everyday for a week, by which time I had read twelve books and knew why Muslims are the hardest people in the world to convert to Christianity. Why? Because there is nothing to offer them!!</span></u> (In Islam) There is a relationship with God, forgiveness of sins, salvation and promise of Eternal Life.</p> <p> </p> <p>Naturally, my first question centered on the deity of God. Who is this God that the Muslims worship? <span style="color:#bf005f;"><u>We had been taught as Christians that this is another god, a false god</u></span>, when, in fact, He is the Omniscient-All Knowing, Omnipotent-All Powerful, and Omnipresent-All Present God - The One and Only without co-partners or co-equal. It is interesting to note that there were bishops during the first three hundred years of the Church that were teaching as the Muslim believes, that Jesus [may the blessing and mercy of God be upon him] was a prophet and teacher!! It was only after the conversion of Emperor Constantine that he was the one to call and introduce the doctrine of the Trinity. He, a convert to Christianity who knew nothing of this religion, introduced a paganistic concept that goes back to Babylonian times. Space, however, does not permit me to go into detail about the subject, but God willing, we will another time. Only, I must point out that the word TRINITY is not found in the Bible in any of its many translation nor is it found in the original Greek or Hebrew languages!</p> <p> </p> <p>My other important question centered on Muhammad [may the blessing and mercy of God be upon him]. Who is this Muhammad? I found out that Muslims do not pray to him like the Christians pray to Jesus. He is not an intermediary and in fact it is forbidden to pray to him. We ask blessing upon him at the end of our prayer but likewise we ask blessings on Abraham. He is a Prophet and a Messenger, the final and last Prophet. In fact, until now, one thousand four hundred and eighteen years (1,418) later there has been no prophet after him. His message is for All Mankind, as opposed to the message of Jesus or Moses (peace be upon them both) which was sent to the Jews. "Hear O Israel" But the message is the same message of God. "The Lord Your God is One God and you shall have no other gods before Me." (Mark 12:29)</p> <p> </p> <p>Because prayer was a very important part of my Christian life I was both interested and curious to know what the Muslims were praying. As Christians we were as ignorant on this aspect of Muslim belief as on the other aspects. <u><span style="color:#bf005f;">We thought and were taught, that the Muslims were bowing down to the Kaaba (in Mecca), that that was there god and center point of this false deity</span></u>. Again, I was shocked to learn that the manner of prayer is prescribed by God, Himself. The words of the prayer are one of praise and exaltation. The approach to prayer (ablution or washing) in cleanliness is under the direction of God. He is a Holy God and it is not for us to approach Him in an arbitrary manner, but only reasonable that He should tell us how we should approach Him.</p> <p> </p> <p>At the end of that week after having spent eight (8) years of formal theological studies, I knew cognitively (head knowledge) that Islam was true. But I did not embrace Islam at that time because I did not believe it in my heart. I continued to pray, to read the Bible, to attend lectures at the Islamic Center. I was in earnest asking and seeking God's direction. It is not easy to change your religion. I did not want to loose my salvation if there was salvation to loose. I continued to be shocked and amazed at what I was learning because it was not what I was taught that Islam believed. In my Master's level, the professor I had was respected as an authority on Islam yet his teaching and that of Christianity in general is full of Misunderstanding. He and many Christians like him are sincere but they are sincerely wrong.</p> <p> </p> <p>Two months later after having once again prayed seeking God's direction, I felt something drop into my being! I sat up, and it was the first time I was to use the name of God, and I said, "God, I believe you are the One and Only True God." There was peace that descended upon me and from that day four years ago until now I have never regretted embracing Islam. This decision did not come without trial. <u><span style="color:#bf005f;">I was fired from my job as I was teaching in two Bible Colleges at that time, ostracized by my former classmates, professors and co-pastors, disowned by my husband's family, misunderstood by my adult children and made a suspicion by my own government</span></u>. Without the faith that enables man to stand up to Satanic forces I would not have been able to withstand all of this. I am ever so grateful to God that I am a Muslim and may I live and die a Muslim.</p> <p> </p> <p>"Truly, my prayer, my service of sacrifice, my life and my death are all for God the Cherisher of the Worlds. No partner has He, this I am commanded. And I am the first of those who bow to God in Islam."

MARAH-MARAHRupa ketika marah lebih buruk daripada perlakuan haiwan<br /><br />IMAM Syafie ada menegaskan: "Marah adalah satu di antara panah syaitan<br />yang mengandungi racun. Oleh itu hindarilah ia agar kamu dapat<br />menewaskan syaitan dan bala ten teranya."<br /><br />Apabila marah dituruti, ia akan membakar kebaikan seperti api membakar<br />kayu dan tiada yang tertinggal kecuali debu. Bagi menghilangkan<br />perasaan marah ada beberapa panduan yang boleh diikuti, iaitu:<br /><br />1. Perlu berasa malu dengan Allah atas segala tindakan kita. Allah<br />memerhatikan segala tindakan dan sikap biadab kita.<br /><br />2. Apabila datang perasaan hendak marah, ingatlah kita ini hanya<br />manusia yang hina.<br /><br />3. Banyakkan berdiam diri dan berdoa kepada Allah supaya Allah<br />selamatkan kita daripada sifat marah.<br /><br />4. Hendaklah ingat kesan daripada sifat marah. Ia mungkin membawa<br />kepada permusuhan dan balas dendam daripada orang yang kita marahi.<br /><br />5. Cuba bayangkan betapa buruknya rupa kita ketika marah. Ia lebih<br />buruk daripada perlakuan seekor haiwan apabila kita dalam keadaan<br />marah.<br /><br />6. Apabila datang perasaan marah, banyakkan membaca isti'azah kerana<br />marah itu datang daripada syaitan.<br /><br />7. Apabila marah sedang memuncak, ambillah wuduk kerana ia dapat<br />menenangkan api kemarahan yang sedang membara.<br /><br />8. Jika marah tidak dapat hilang dengan melakukan perkara seperti di<br />atas, hendaklah tidur. Ini kerana ia dapat meredakan perasaan marah<br />apabila bangkit dari tidur nanti.<br /><br />9. Tauhid kita perlu tepat. Setiap sesuatu itu datang daripada Allah<br />dan akan kembali kepada Allah. Kenapa kita perlu marah?<br /><br />10. Apabila kita bersalah, kita tidak suka orang memarahi kita. Begitu<br />juga dengan orang lain yang melakukan kesilapan, tidak suka dimarahi,<br />sebalik ditegur secara baik.<br /><br />11. Satu cara lagi, apabila marah datang, sedangkan kita berdiri,<br />duduklah. Apabila duduk, bersandarlah. Insya-Allah marah akan mula<br />reda.<br /><br />Jangan Kamu Marah!<br /><br />Hadith :<br />Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a bahawa seorang lelaki telah berkata kepada<br />nabi SAW yang maksudnya:" Berwasiatlah kepada ku." Sabda Rasulullah<br />SAW: "Jangan kamu marah." Maka lelaki itu mengulangi kata-katanya<br />berulang kali. Sabda Rasulullah SAW:" Jangan kamu marah.."(al-Bukhari)<br /><br />Huraian<br />Hasan al-Basri pernah berkata: Empat perkara jika sesiapa memilikinya<br />maka Allah memeliharanya daripada syaitan dan mengharamkan ke atasnya<br />api neraka: (iaitu) Sesiapa yang mampu mengawal dirinya ketika dalam<br />keghairahan, ketakutan, syahwat dan kemarahan." Sesungguhnya kemarahan<br />akan mengumpulkan segala keburukan. Reaksi seorang yang sedang marah<br />dapat dilihat pada wajah dan anggota badannya seperti warna mukanya<br />bertukar merah, urat-urat lehernya menegang, tubuh badan seakan-akan<br />menggigil kerana geram, suara menjadi nyaring manakala lidah mula<br />mengeluarkan perkataan yang buruk sama ada mengutuk atau mengeji. Ada<br />kemungkinan patah-patah perkataan itu berupa penghinaan atau yang<br />seumpama dengannya yang haram diucapkan termasuklah menuduh orang lain<br />sebagai kafir dan lai-lain. Selain itu, seseorang itu juga akan<br />melakukan perbuatan yang di luar kawalannya sendiri seperti memukul,<br />menumbuk, menampar dan sebagainya. Semua ini berkemungkinan akan<br />mendorong kepada perbuatan yang menyakitkan orang lain yang akhirnya<br />mewujudkan permusuhan dan kebencian di antara satu sama lain. Justeru<br />walaupun sifat marah adalah sifat semula jadi manusia namun sebagai<br />seorang Muslim kita hendaklah berusaha untuk menjauhkan diri daripada<br />segala sebab yang menyebabkan kemarahan.setiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-28070656620196143362008-05-17T09:01:00.000+08:002008-05-17T09:02:23.623+08:00TEMPAT TINGGAL IBLIS<span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Anas bin Malik r.a. berkata:<br />"Iblis telah bertanya pada Allah: katanya, wahai Tuhanku! Engkau telah memberikan anak Adam tempat kediaman untuk mereka berteduh dan berzikir kepadaMu, oleh itu tunjukkanlah padaku tempat kediaman untukku." Firman Allah: "Tempat kediamanmu adalah di dalam tandas."<br /><br />Iblis bertanya lagi: "Wahai Tuhanku, Engkau telah berikan anak Adam berkumpul di masjid, di manakah pula tempatku berkumpul?" Firman Allah: "Tempatmu berkumpul ialah di pasar-pasar, pesta, pusat membeli belah, kelab malam, tempat hiburan serta majlis-majlis maksiat."<br /><br />Iblis bertanya: "Wahai Tuhanku, Engkau berikan anak Adam itu kitab (al-Quran) untuk mereka membacanya, tunjukkanlah apa pula bahan bacaanku?" Firman Allah: "Bacaan untukmu ialah syair dan sajak yang melalaikan."<br /><br />Iblis bertanya: "Wahai Tuhanku, Engkau telah berikan kepada mereka cerita-cerita benar, apakah pula cerita bagiku?" Firman Allah: "Cerita bagimu ialah kata-kata kesat dan dusta."<br /><br />Iblis bertanya: "Wahai Tuhanku, Engkau telah berikan azan kepada anak Adam untuk mereka memanggil orang sembahyang,apa pula azan untukku?" Firman Allah: "Azan untukmu ialah seruling."<br /><br />Iblis bertanya: "Wahai Tuhanku, Engkau telah menghantar utusan-Mu dari para rasul dan juga nabi, siapakah yang menjadi utusanku?" Firman Allah: "Para utusan mu terdiri daripada bomoh, tabib dan dukun yang menduakan Aku."<br /><br />Iblis Bertanya: "Wahai Tuhanku, Engkau berikan kitab suci al-Quran yang bertulis kepada mereka, apakah pula tulisan bagiku?" Firman Allah: "Tulisanmu ialah tatu, gincu serta lukisan di badan."<br /><br />Iblis bertanya: "Ya Tuhanku, Engkau berikan anak Adam perangkap, apakah pula perangkap bagiku?" Firman Allah: "Perangkap bagimu ialah wanita."<br /><br />Iblis bertanya: "Ya Tuhanku, Engkau berikan mereka minuman yang halal yang disebutkan nama-Mu, apakah pula minuman untukku?" Firman Allah: "Minumanmu ialah sesuatu yang memabukkan serta tidak disebutkan nama-Ku padanya."<br /><br />Sabda Rasulullah saw: "Wahai manusia, laksanakanlah amalan-amalan menurut kemampuan kamu. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan bosan sebelum kamu merasa bosan. Sesungguhnya amalan yang paling disukai Allah ialah amalan yang ringan namun berterusan."<br /><br />( Hadis Riwayat Muslim )</span>setiabudi1http://www.blogger.com/profile/03553258181111410732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698387129859951879.post-4656515523378962612008-04-09T13:39:00.001+08:002008-04-09T13:41:19.625+08:0033 Tips to Launch Your Personal Jihad Against Racism and Nationalism<div><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 191);font-size:100%;" >33 Tips to Launch Your Personal <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><u>Jihad</u></span> Against <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Racism</span> and <span style="color: rgb(192, 0, 0);">Nationalism</span></span></strong></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div><strong></strong><br /><br /></div> <div>Alhamdu lillah, all Masjids in the world are open to all people.

However, this dominant reality is sometimes marred by individual behavior, which is contrary to the ideals of Islam.<br /><br />Some Muslims fall for the age-old trick of Satan and start playing the silly inferiority/ superiority game. Some stereotype others and tolerate prejudice against other human beings, despite the fact that all human beings are equal, from the same man and woman.

The Prophet preached and established these ideals in the peace sanctuary of Madinah and Islamic society which he developed.<br /><br />Let our parents, children, Islamic schools, and Imams learn and teach the ideals of Islam.<br /><br /><b>2. Ask the only One who can really help</b><br /><br />We can get rid of racial and prejudicial attitudes within ourselves with the help of God.<br /><br />Make sincere and focused Dua for those people and groups who remain oppressed, subject to humiliation, subject to difficult behavior. After all, Dua increases love between people (<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_6" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Hadith</span>).<br /><br />Also make Dua for yourself and others to gain an appreciation of others. Pray together with your family for those friends in the Masjid or at your job who are from other groups. And remember that dua without actions is nothing.<br /><br /><b>3. Hate the hatred</b><br /><br />The Prophet never hated anyone. He neither hated Makkah nor the Makkans who tortured him, starved him and his people and killed his companions, may Allah be pleased with them. He continued to pray even for his worst enemies like Abu Jahl.<br /><br /><b>4. Make sincere Tawbah (repentance to God)</b><br /><br />If we have hurt someone through our tongue or attitude, we need to seek God's forgiveness. It is also important to seek the personal forgiveness of that persons as well if s/he is within reach as an Islamic pre-requisite to seek God's forgiveness. There has to be a personal acknowledgment of wrongdoing and a commitment to change. This is done by turning to God and seeking His Forgiveness for looking down on other beings due to a false belief in someone's inferiority.<br /><br /><b>5. Watching Our Tongue</b><br /><br />The Prophet said: Whoever can give me a guarantee for what is between his two jaws and between his two legs, I can assure him Paradise (Sahih of Bukhari).<br /><br />Keeping this in mind, effort should be made to curb useless talk, which can lead to worse things like backbiting and slander of individuals and groups of people.<br /><br />Defining backbiting, the Prophet said that backbiting is anything that you say about someone in his absence that may displease him. When he was asked by one of the Companions, ‘even if he is as I describe him?' he responded by saying, If he is as you describe him then you are guilty of backbiting, otherwise you are guilty of slander (which is worse than backbiting) (Sahih of Muslim).<br /><br />To add emphasis to how awful slander is, consider that the Prophet said it is worse than adultery because if a person commits adultery, Allah can forgive him if he repents. But a slanderer will not be forgiven until the person he had been speaking about forgives him (Baihaqi).<br /><b><br />6. No ethnic jokes please<br /></b><br />Ethnic jokes are not innocent humor. They carry the virus of bigotry most of the time. Think about how hurt we feel when some comedians depict Muslims as terrorist.<br /><br />Consider this verse of the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_7" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Quran</span>: "O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed wrong doers" (<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_8" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Quran</span> 49:11).<br /><br />Such silly and hurtful jest clearly goes against the type of manners Allah and His Prophet expect from us. It's a sin in Islam to ridicule or laugh at any beings, and if they are a group, the sin is stronger.<br /><br /><b>7. Don't call people, Kalla, Gora, Desi, Chapta, Abd or Rafeeq</b><br /><br />Muslims disliked being called Moslems, Moor, or Mohammaden. We insist that since we write our name Muslims that's how everyone should spell our name. So let's call other people with the names they like for themselves. Fair enough?<br /><br />Alhamdu lillah most Muslims don't do this. But once in a while we hear names, which we need to challenge. The Urdu term "Kalla" is used by some for African-Americans. While it literally means "black", the way it is used most of the time is demeaning. The same is true for the Urdu term Chapta or Peela, which refers to the color, and features of South East Asian people. Gora in Urdu for Caucasians falls in the same category although it also just means a white person, but is used to convey historical distrust and betrayl of the white colonial lords. Desi on the other hand is mostly used to describe stereiotypical images of South Asians "curry smelling" Indians and "pakis." It is often used as a term of self hate in the second generation.<br /><br />Similarly some Arabs use the term Abd to describe black people, despite the fact the Prophet catogarically prohibited use of this term. Another term Zingy is used for the same people in the demeaning way. Some Arabs use the term Rafeeq (literally comrade) for Pakistanis in demeaning way similar to how the "N word" is used in the west. Ibn al Khinzeeer (son of a pig), a reference to whoever you are angry with amongst some Arabs and specially towards Jews is not only unworthy of the followers of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_9" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Prophet Muhammad</span>, it is a direct violation of his command not to insult one another's parents (Sahih of Bukhari and Muslim).<br /><br />Even the Islamic term Kafir has to be use with care. Not every non-believer is a Kafir. This Quranic term, regarding those who rejected Allah's guidance after recognizing it to be the truth, should not become a term of hate.<br /><br /><b>8. Challenge the offensive, names, jokes and comments</b><br /><br />If someone uses a hurtful name in our presence, we might simply say, "Don't call him/her that. Call him/her by his/her name." If you are the victim, simply say "That kind of joke offends me," or say "You don't like to be called bad names and neither do I".<br /><br />We should feel comfortable in pointing out unfairness. It is very rewarding in the eyes of Allah, since by challenging this we are following three of Allah's commands:<br />- Stand up against injustice<br />- Discourage the evil<br />- Don't call people with bad nicknames<br />- It's part of a Muslim's duty to enjoin the good and forbid the evil. Let's do it with wisdom and patience. Be polite but firm.<br /><br /><b><b>9. Do not generalize</b></b><br /><br />If you observe something wrong in some persons' behavior, don't generalize it to their ethnic group. Attribute it to those persons not their group. For example, I have heard several times that Arabs in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_10" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Chicago</span> run liquor stores. While it is true that there may be 100 or so Arabs who have this type of Haram business, they are a small minority among hundreds and thousands of Arabs living in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_11" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Chicago</span>. Without condoning what they are doing, we must see that there are Muslims of other nationalities who are also involved in Haram businesses.<br /><b><br />10. Defend the abused group</b><br /><br />Note unique and special qualities in other people. Show the positive points of an ethnic group that is being made fun of. Whether it's the hospitality of the Arabs, the respect for elders in Indo-Pakistani culture, the resilience of African-Americans, for instance, point out the positive to those who don't want to see the other side of the coin.<br /><br />If you're still tongue-tied, consider this <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_12" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Hadith</span>: the Prophet said: If a man's Muslim brother is slandered in his presence, and he is capable of defending him, and does so, Allah will defend him in this world and in the next. But if he fails to defend him, Allah will destroy him in this world and in the next.<br /><b><br />11. Speak everyone's language</b><br /><br />What do you do when there are say, three people, one of whom speaks your native language and the other doesn't?<br /><br />Too often, many of us do the wrong thing.<br /><br />It creates suspicion and discomfort if you speak a language in front of others who may not understand it. Use a common language understandable to all. So if Br. Muneer and you both understand Arabic, but Sr. Yasmeen doesn't, speak in English instead, so she doesn't feel left out. If you observe this behavior tell them it's unfair. If you are the one who is doing the wrong thing, then don't defend it by saying, "you should learn our language".<br /><br />The Prophet said: When three people are together, two should not talk secretly, leaving the third alone since this may grieve him. (Sahiah of Bukhari & Muslim).<br /><b><br />12. Read about others</b><br /><br />Read about people to gain positive insights into other cultures. Read what they have written about themselves. Read about, for instance, what African-Americans have contributed to America. Even better, read an autobiography like that of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_13" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Malcolm X</span>, which recounts the personal experience and struggles of one Muslim African-American. Much of what he has to say is also a reflection of the experience of other African-Americans.<br /><b><b><br />13. Share your joy</b></b><br /><br />Have you invited people other than your cultural group at an occasion of happiness in your family?<br /><br />Whether it's <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_14" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Eid</span>, a wedding or the Aqiqa of a newborn baby, expand your next guest list to include those of different backgrounds. Sharing joy is a great way for people of all ethno-cultural groups to bond.<br /><b><br />14. Share your sorrow</b><br /><br />Have you visited a sick colleague, class fellow or a neighbor of another ethnic group? Have you been to the funeral of other people?<br /><br />Relationships are not only built on the good times, but on the hard ones as well. Visit the sick, attend funerals, and console those who need it, and don't reserve your sympathy to those of the same skin color or country.<br /><b><br />15. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach</b><br /><br />Have you learned to cook the food of other cultures? Have you shared your food with them?<br /><br />I know people who have become Muslim because of the hospitality of Muslims. Food is a great way to bring people together, and to get to know others. Share food with neighbors. Food is power. Use it!<br /><b><br />16. Smiling is a charity</b><br /><br />Who do you smile at? Do you limit your grins to groups you know, especially your ethno-cultural group?<br /><br />Smiling is charity (Sahiah of Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi), not just for your people. Expand your smile "directory" to include all. Smile opens close hearts.<br /><b><br />17. Salam is for everyone<br /></b><br /><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_15" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Quran</span> demands that we greet others better than the way they have greeted us. (<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_16" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Quran</span> 4:86).<br /><br />After Juma do you say Salam and meet only those people you know or do you initiate a Salam to those from another ethnic group?<br /><br />Consider this <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_17" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Hadith</span>: The Prophet said: Those who are nearest to Allah are those who are the first to give a greeting (Sahiah of Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi).<br /><br />Saying Salam is also a great way to increase your love for a fellow Muslim, no matter where they are from. Consider this <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_18" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Hadith</span>: the Prophet said: You will not enter Heaven until you believe, and you will not believe until you love each other. Let me guide you to something which will cause you to love each other: spreading the greetings of peace (Assalamu alaikum) (Sahiah of Muslim).<br /><b><br />18. Hug someone today<br /></b><br />Have you ever experienced a hug by a Muslim you never knew? What a feeling. This one just for the sake of Allah. Try it on a Muslim in your masjid and then introduce yourself to him. He is your brother. Isn't he?<br /><b><br />19. Beyond Salam</b><br /><br />Alhamdu lillah, we see a lot of faces of different ethnic groups in masjids, but have we gone beyond Salam with them?<br /><br />Have we invited this brother or sister to our home this year? Let's take the initiative to go beyond the Salam and invite a fellow human being of a different background over to our place. Don't wait for a specific occasion. Just invite them over for dinner, lunch, or a game of basketball.<br /><b><br />20. A Masjid tour of other neighborhoods<br /></b><br />While in a number of cities in America and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_19" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">South Africa</span>, Masjids tend to become ethnically homogeneous due to the population patterns of the city; we can try to overcome this isolation.<br /><br />Let's visit other neighborhoods and pray in a Masjid there. So if you're an Urdu speaking person, visit the predominantly Arab mosque. If you're an Arab visit the mostly African-American mosque. If you're Turkish, visit the mostly Bengali mosque.<br /><br />Let's defy the neighborhood divisions which we did not create. Let's take our Sunday school children on field trips to different neighborhoods and Masjids. Providing opportunities for interaction with people of diverse groups instills understanding.<br /><br />Studies show that children playing and working together toward common goals develop positive attitudes about one another.<br /><b><br />21. Do your duty, but a little differently</b><br /><br />Who do you usually give your Zakat to?<br /><br />Is it just to your ethnic group or do you use it as one of the categories-to win over hearts? Plan to give your next Zakat to a community or individuals who are not of your ethno-cultural background. This will be a practical way to give of yourself to those who are your brothers and sisters, and those who are in need.<br /><b><b><br />22. Strangers should find an open Masjid door<br /></b></b><br />How are you at welcoming strangers in your Masjid?<br /><br />Do you move forward in welcoming, guiding and introducing them to others or do you allow a stranger to remain a stranger while you busily chat with your own cultural group? Open your heart and arms to the new brother or sister who may have come to the Masjid with great difficulty. Welcome their choice and don't let them regret visiting your mosque.<br /><br />The security staff at Masjids need to have sensitivity training as well.<br /><br /><b><b>23. Watch those expressions and attitudes</b></b><br /><br />Did you see that twist of the mouth, or the raise of that eyebrow?<br /><br />Sometimes, it's not just words, but facial expressions that also indicate ethno-racial degradation and intolerance. It's not enough for us to just avoid verbal jabs. Language is not just about words; it's about body language too.<br /><br /><b>24. Defend yourself</b><br /><br />If you are the target of ethno-racial humor, slurs or attacks defend yourself.<br /><br />- First seek refuge in Allah from Satan Following the Prophet's advice, if you are angry, remain silent, sit down, move away or make wudu.<br />- If you feel your security is being threatened seek any help available.<br />- If you are attacked defend yourself if you are capable of it.<br />- Document and pursue the case with local police, the department of human resources and anti-hate groups.<br /><br />God tolerates a person who is being wronged to respond in the same coin but He prefers us to be better: "The recompense for an evil is an evil like thereof, but whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah. Verily, He likes not the Zalimun (oppressors) " (<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_20" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Quran</span> 42:40).<br /><br />An ex-Marine member of the white supremacist movement the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_21" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Ku Klux Klan</span> became Muslim due partly to the polite and confident response of a Muslim doctor to his racist remarks calling him a "dog eater".<br /><br />This is an example of following Allah's instructions that ask us to respond to evil with something which is better.<br /><b><br />25. Stand up for justice<br /></b><br />Take an active stand against injustices like profiling and discrimination in the workplace or at schools. Speak out against someone or a group being paid less because of their national background.<br /><br />"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it is against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a better Protector to both (than you) are. So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do" (<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_22" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Quran</span> 4:135).<br /><b><br />26. Work with other anti-racism groups<br /></b><br />Volunteer time to organizations and groups which are working for an anti-racism agenda or for social justice. All the prophets were sent to help people take a stand for establishing justice (<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_23" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Quran</span> 57:25). Working for a common cause brings people closer. Islam encourages cooperation with non Muslims for the common good of humanity (<span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_24" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Quran</span> 5:2).<br /><b><b><br />27. Multi-ethnic Marriages</b></b><br /><br />Some Fiqh books that dislike and discourage multi-ethnic marriages amongst Muslims are wrong because they conflict with the Sunnah of the Prophet and with the Quranic principle of all people being one.<br /><br />For instance, the Fiqh manual Reliance of the Traveler, in a chapter on Kafa'a (compatibility) , while recognizing that there should be no consideration of skin color in marriage, does mention that a match between a non-Arab man and an Arab woman is unsuitable (page 523).<br /><br />I am not advising anyone to offer him or herself for a social experiment. But we must accept our children's choice with an open heart instead of resistance based on the false interpretation of compatibility (Kafa'a) offered by some Fiqh books.<br /><b><b><br />28. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_25" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Jihad</span> with your taxes<br /></b></b><br />Your personal jihad against racism must also include a collective effort against racism and nationalism. Your taxes are used to institute policies, some of which you may agree with and others that you may completely oppose. You can use your tax money to fight against racism by supporting policies or institutions that encourage respect for differences. We should support subsidies to human rights organizations dedicated to fighting racism, specifically.<br /><b><br />29. Vote against racism</b><br /><br />Support candidates who oppose racism and nationalism both within America and without. For example, former US president Bill Clinton strongly campaigned against the use of tobacco in America but ironically he also helped the US tobacco companies to achieve record profits by helping them sell and promote tobacco in the Third World. If tobacco is wrong for America, it is wrong for every other human being as well. Let's not tolerate "Cancer for other people."<br /><b><br />30. Vote for multi-ethnicity in your Masjid<br /></b><br />Make sure your Masjid in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_26" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">North America</span> has a multi ethnic board and leadership. Follow the Prophet in engineering social change. He paired each Ansar and Muhajir as brothers as he started building the Islamic society of Madina.<br /><br /><b>31. Put money where your mouth is</b><br /><br />There are a number of organizations dedicated to fighting racism in America at various levels. Support them by your donation. If you don't want to donate, establish your own organization against bigotry.<br /><b><br />32. Raising race free children<br /></b><br />Islam does not recognize race, but the society we live in does. Bridging this gap is the challenge of Muslim parenting.<br /><br />- Choose to live in a multi-ethnic community. Children with multi-ethnic interaction grow up to be better human beings.<br />- Participate in your PTA with an antiracist agenda.<br />- Help your children feel good about themselves. Children who feel good about themselves are less likely to be prejudiced.<br />- Welcome children of all background in your home.<br />- Debrief them if they come home with a racial slur from the school.<br /><b><br />33. Let's have a straight niyyah to please Allah<br /></b><br />Let's make our intentions (niyyah) that we will strive to build human society based on the equality of all human beings as Allah has asked us to do. Insha Allah, He will reward us for each step we take to get ourselves, our community, and our society rid of racism and nationalism.<br /><b><br />Conclusion </b><br /><br />As Muslims who are dehumanized day and night by the media and opinion leaders, it is our duty to emerge as a better human being through this ordeal instead of engaging in the satanic game of counter dehumanization.<br /><br />Whoever starts to look at others as lower beings first kills his own humanity. Prejudice, racism and nationalism are equal opportunity diseases. Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Jews, all have a choice of either using their teachings to rise up for the ideals of humanity or sink in the killing fields of nationalism.<br /><br />Dehumanization of Native Americans contributed to their almost complete annihilation. Dehumanization of Africans as nations and individuals resulted in generational loss of life and heritage. Dehumanization of Jews and Gypsies is associated with the mass murder by Nazis. Dehumanization of Japanese Americans contributed to their being sent to internment camps in America. The dehumanization of Muslims in America after the 9/11 tragedy is responsible for the virtual internment camp Muslims in America live today and the tortures in Abu Gharib and abuse at <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1207411678_27" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204);">Guantanamo Bay</span>.<br /><br />Unfortunately there is a demonization of America taking place in the world, which by and large does not know how a majority of Americans today feel about the historical wrongs done on their names. Even the strong American reaction to the Abu Gharib images did not slow down the harm neo-con policies are causing to American standing in the world.<br /><br />Racism and nationalism are twin evils which have killed more people in last one hundred years than probably all the wars in last one thousand years including crusades and massacres of the infamous Genghis Khan.<br /><br />Let's launch our personal Jihad against racism. May God be with you.

Muslims also do not deny the message of the Bible [OT & NT] as a Whole [Note: The name 'Bible' is not in the Bible!]. They mainly deny those parts of the Bible that moderate Jews and Christians themselves do not believe in them!
