(Greetings of Peace):
Insha'Allah, I am scheduled
to serve as the guest khatib for the first jumuah at
the Prince George's Muslim Association (PGMA) this
coming Friday (Feb 8). As with previous khutbah's
during this special three month drive, the emphasis
will be on "Enjoining the Good and Forbidding the
Evil." (Our internal and external jihad!)
Of the prisoners whose secret
detentions have been documented by the Open
Society Justice Initiative in its 216

Aafia Siddiqui is
listed as #120 on page 57; another example of how the
veil is being lifted and the truth revealed!

FBI arrests Malcolm X
grandson en route to Iran
The grandson of the late
African-American civil rights leader Malcolm X has
been arrested by FBI agents on his way to Iran, Press
TV reports.
Muslim civil activist
Malcolm Shabazz was reportedly arrested before
starting his scheduled visit to Tehran to attend a
conference on Hollywoodism, sources outside the United
States confirmed on Monday.
The Federal Bureau of
Investigation has refused to provide any information
about his whereabouts.
Tehran hosted the third
Hollywoodism International Conference, on the
sidelines of the 31st Fajr International Film Festival
in the Iranian capital Tehran on Sunday.
Many filmmakers, directors,
actors, and movie critics as well as politicians and
economists took part in the conference.
Mike Gravel, a former US
Senator who attended the conference, condemned
Hollywood's role in imposing imperialistic views on
the people of the world.
"Hollywood is just a tool
of the American government and European governments to
pursue their imperialistic views whether it is in
economy…culture…or religion," Gravel stated.
The first Hollywoodism and
Cinema Conference was held in Iran in 2011.
Globalizing Torture: CIA
Secret Detention and Extraordinary Rendition
Following the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001, the Central
Intelligence Agency embarked on a highly classified
program of secret detention and extraordinary
rendition of terrorist suspects. The program was
designed to place detainee interrogations beyond the
reach of law. Suspected terrorists were seized and
secretly flown across national borders to be
interrogated by foreign governments that used torture,
or by the CIA itself in clandestine "black sites"
using torture techniques.
Globalizing Torture is
the most comprehensive account yet assembled of the
human rights abuses associated with CIA secret
detention and extraordinary rendition operations. It
details for the first time what was done to the 136
known victims, and lists the 54 foreign governments
that participated in these operations. It shows that
responsibility for the abuses lies not only with the
United States but with dozens of foreign governments
that were complicit.
More than 10 years after
the 2001 attacks, Globalizing
Torture makes
it unequivocally clear that the time has come for the
United States and its partners to definitively
repudiate these illegal practices and secure
accountability for the associated human rights
abuses.

What follows is a very
astute observation made by a non-Muslim female member
of one of the listservs that we're connected to. - MS
"The atrocities carried out
by this government against those accused of
"terrorism" or "aiding terrorists" are ultimately
aimed at the American citizens. I proposed this idea a
long time ago. Even though I'm a "right-wing teabagger
conspiracy theorist nut job" according to someone on
another list, I
predicted that we would see an end to due process and
the arrogation of the "right" to execute anyone
anywhere in the world.
It will eventually land on
our own doorsteps. A little tweaking of the verbiage
by a couple of sophistic DOJ lawyers, and people like
us will find ourselves square in the
crosshairs, accused of providing "comfort and support"
to the "enemy" by virtue of our anti-government
sentiments.
None of the reporters on these issues ever mention
that these laws are unconstitutional on their face and
thereby theoretically invalid.
And the majority of American citizens reassure
themselves of their exclusion because they are not
political activists or commentators."
We are a third-world
dictatorship masquerading as a democracy. What a clown
show.

We would appreciate hearing
from anyone who has any
FACT-BASED information or
updates on the following report involving [Shaheed]
Malcolm X's grandson. - MS |
