Once banned under Ben Ali, many Middle Eastern Muslim scholars are now flocking to Tunisia to partake in the nation’s new found political freedoms. This unprecedented wave of visits sparked several interpretations online and has become a hot topic in newspapers as well as for some radio and television programs. But the visits have caused concern among some, including the mufti of Tunisia. “We have to avoid people whose calls are strange to us in order to avoid commotion, which is deadlier than killing itself,” said Othman Battikh, the mufti of Tunisia. “We don’t need divisions and differences because we carry the same belief and believe in the same sharia. We recommend good choice; otherwise, we don’t need those preachers from the east.”

The events of 9/11 have spawned a treacherous hate campaign towards Islam, and in particular American Muslims, that can be likened to the witch hunts of the McCarthy era and the Japanese-American internments during World War II. The need to find a tangible scapegoat and provide answers to Americans reeling from shock, grief, anger, and fear has allowed tabloid journalists, many under the influence of the Zionists, to contribute to this campaign of hatred- years in the making. It also sets the stage for the likes of Dr. Zuhdi Jasser and the insidious documentary film “The Third Jihad”.

Presently, more than two million people worldwide are being treated for mental disorders with a deadly combination of psychotropic drugs and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroshock therapy. ECT, which provides a shock of electric current as high as 450 volts into the brains of mental patients, and has destroyed the lives of countless millions since its introduction in the 1930’s. The Abdul Qadir Gilani Institute of Sufic Sciences, an institution which promotes the uplifting of mankind and removal of suffering through education about obedience to the Almighty Creator, urgently appeals to all governments, hospitals and private medical establishments to hereby immediately ban all further use of Electroconvulsive Therapy and psychotropic drugs.

For six weeks, from early June until the third week in July 2011, about 70 young Muslim ladies from across the Americas have gathered in Holy Islamberg, in the Catskill mountains near Hancock, New York, for the 24th Banaatun Noor International Annual Summer Camp under the direct supervision of our Blessed Murshid (spiritual guide and leader) Sheikh Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani. The BNI camp provides a quiet, rustic, secluded setting, located far from the hectic routines of daily living, facilitating the concentration and immersion into the study of Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Holy Last Messenger Muhammad, peace be upon him, that is necessary to bring about the reformation and transformation of human souls.

The world tends to turn a blind eye to the continued distress of a people when the spotlight of the media and the bold headlines desist, but the International Qur’anic Open University has steadied the course, not only dispatching the American Muslim Medical Relief Team (AMMRT) within hours of a catastrophic event, but by providing continuous support months or years after the world has forgotten the tragedy even while victims still suffer.

The American Muslims of the International Qur’anic Open University (IQOU) have received support from the citizens of Pakistan who are outraged after release of details in the latest example of maltreatment by the government of Pakistan towards IQOU staff when attempting to obtain their travel visas. In this latest occurrence, members of IQOU’s American Muslim Medical Relief Team (AMMRT) were harassed, treated harshly and denied approval to travel to a country where these same American Muslims have a known history of humanitarian service that spans over thirty years.

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.

Every day, the world sinks deeper into a state of immorality as reflected and reinforced in television, movies, music and the media that depicts mankind’s growing state of disobedience to the Divine Almighty Creator.  The decadence, driven by a rise in materialism, abandonment of the law of the Supreme Creator and defiance of the Ten Commandments, has caused moral bankruptcy that crosses educational, political, religious, and socio-economical barriers. Just as a farmer plants “good” seeds in the earth to later sow a fruitful crop, so should man enjoin good and forbid evil to attain the ultimate goal in returning to Almighty God, a fate for which no soul shall escape.

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.

Muslims take great pride in attaining the treasure of knowledge, inspired by an Islamic tradition [hadith] that says, "Seek knowledge, even unto China." The quote points to the importance of seeking knowledge, even if it means enduring the hardship of travelling far distances. At the time of the Holy Last Messenger  Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, China was considered the most developed civilization of the period. Islam in China began during the caliphate of 'Uthman ibn Affan, upon him mercy, the third caliph. After triumphing over the Byzantines, Romans and the Persians, 'Uthman ibn Affan, dispatched a deputation to China in 29 AH (650 C.E., eighteen years after the Holy Last Messenger, peace be upon him, passed away), under the leadership by Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqaas, upon him mercy, Nabi Muhammad's  (peace be upon him) maternal uncle, inviting the Chinese emperor to embrace Islam.

The Tunisia Constitutional Council on January 15 officially announced that President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali has permanently left the office of the president after his flight from the country in the face of mass protests. Tunisians had overtaken government buildings demanding the resignation of the president, with his intention not to run for a sixth term of office.
The leader of the lower house of parliament, Foued Mebezza, is assuming until elections are held in two months, as reported by Maureen Cosgrove of Jurist.

Medical doctors in Brazil remain baffled as to how metal sewing needles were placed inside the body of another two-year old boy from Brazil, with zero evidence of digestion and no signs of an entry wound on the outside of his body. El Sheikh Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani, founder of the El Gilani Methodology (EGM), an innovative method of spiritual therapy and healing, said the rising cases all over the world are a clear sign of the practicing of occultism. “These needles were not swallowed. This is black magic and has become common now in villages of India, Columbia and Brazil”, says El Sheikh Gilani.
