As the head of a family largely comprised of US citizens, Imam of Muslims of the Americas Inc; Vice Chancellor of the International Qur’anic Open University; founder and Editor–in-Chief of the Islamic Post; and founder of the United Muslim Christian Forum, I am often called upon to explain Islam’s position on terrorism, suicide bombings and Islam’s compatibility with democracy. The growing threat of violence in the world has accelerated the urgency to uncover the truth of the massive conspiracy of 9/11 that launched a widespread conspiracy engendering “Islamophobia”, which if left unabated, will certainly destroy America and the world as we now know it. Searching for answers to the 9/11 hoax from reliable sources, the research department of the Islamic Post evaluated a July 4, 2011 article entitled, “Inside Job: Seven Questions About 9/11” and a follow-up piece titled “Inside Job:  More Proof of 9/11 Duplicity,” written by an American patriot, distinguished scholar and retired US Marine Corps Captain, Professor James H. Fetzer, PhD, and published for Veterans Today.

(IP) –Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein highlighted the unscrupulous world of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation in a Newsweek article, “Murdoch’s Watergate?” Bernstein hammers the naive as such: “The hacking scandal currently shaking Rupert Murdoch’s empire will surprise only those who have willfully blinded themselves to that empire’s pernicious influence on journalism in the English-speaking world. Too many of us have winked in amusement at the salaciousness without considering the larger corruption of journalism and politics promulgated by Murdoch Culture on both sides of the Atlantic.”

The Taliban has denied responsibility for twin bombings in June at a crowded market in Peshawar, misleading the public in their claim, “We do not target civilians and mosques.” The latest extremist attack killed at least 35 people, wounded more than 100 others. 

The event was reminiscent of prior attacks involving the Taliban, including the assault on Sufis praying at the tomb of Hazrat Data Sahib in Lahore one year ago. The teen-aged suicide bomber whose vest failed to explode fully said he was told by his Taliban handlers, ‘These are the infidels. They are not doing what Muslims should do. Anyone who kills them will go to heaven,’  Mubarak Ahmed, a senior Dera Ghazi Khan police official handling the investigation, told the LA Times.

To head off the violent deaths that have been wracking Pakistan, it is important to gauge the areas where the poisonous venom of terrorism has infiltrated the country, as well as the source of the snake-like ideology infiltrated the country.  Necessary also, is tracking the source of the snake-like ideology .

His Eminence Muhyiddin El Sheikh  Sayyid Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani al Hasani wal Husaini wal Hashmi Al Mujadid was asked, “Who is this person, Dr. Tahirul Qadri, claiming to be Sheikh ul Islam?”  His Eminence replied, “He [Tahirul Qadri] is a fake Qadri who came here and introduced a Pakistani brand of Islam.  No one receives this charlatan as Sheikh-ul-Islam. Pakistan is full of thousands of people, like him, who pretend to be scholars and Sufis. They cheat people in the name of the Qadri Order.”

His Eminence Shah Gilani added that Dr Tahirul Qadri had been warned about defrauding the public some fifteen years ago, as mentioned in an article in the New Baghdad.

His Eminence further stressed, “Does not he know that in Holy Islamberg, New York, in the Jamia Tajalli Azam Qadriyya Baitullah, the miraculous manifestation of Allah, the Most High’s, Divine Name, has been shining for the past ten months? Why doesn’t he pay homage? True Sufis are aware of the proper ethical decorum and protocol. These pious men and women know that one’s rank and status will be raised or lowered by honoring or disrespecting the signs of Allah, the Most High. One perfect Sufi guide, who came certified with divine manifestations and miracles, was made Khalifa and Naib of the Holy Rasul (peace be upon him) in his presence, by his hand, in the Darbar Sharif, Holy Court.”

Osama bin Laden has no one to blame but himself that he was a pawn of the intelligence community for decades, inevitably to be discarded, shot in the face, his body weighted down and cast to the bottom of the sea.

The parallel of bin Laden is mirrored in the annals of history, with the founder of Osama’s terrorist creed: Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab of Najd. It is necessary to comprehend bin Laden’s Wahhabite origins in bin Abdul Wahhab to truly understand what needs to be done to destroy the modern terrorist allegiance.

The people of  the Caribbean region are deeply saddened by news that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Caribbean Service will end its broadcasts in March.

awyers and media pundits in Nigeria are accusing the government of acting illegally by agreeing to settle criminal bribery charges against Dick Cheney out of court.

We Muslims know that we cannot stop the hate campaign against Muslims because the enemy of Islam believes that Muslims have become a danger to their existence. We know these enemies are trying to bring about a clash between Muslims and Christians, but that will not happen. We have read the article written by Donna Gehrke-White and Tim Collie, published in Newsmax Magazine, November, 2010, and found it most misleading and incoherent, written by those who do not know much about Islam. The only thing that is evident from this article is that it is the work of one of the hundreds of hate groups which are trying to bring about a clash between Muslims and Christians. It is the cover up of the hatred felt for American Muslims, be they indigenous or settlers.

Earlier this month, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said new weapons threatened America’s dominance of the high seas and questioned the US Navy’s reliance on costly aircraft carriers and submarines.

Anti-ship missiles and stealthy submarines could undermine the US military’s global reach in the Pacific Ocean and elsewhere, putting carriers and American subs at risk, Gates said in a speech to retired members of the US Navy.
