Christian, Muslim and Jewish religious leaders condemn US 'anti-Muslim frenzy'
US religious leaders have condemned an “anti-Muslim frenzy” in the United States, including plans by a Florida church to burn a Koran on September 11, an act a top general said could endanger American troops abroad.
JNN 
News Agency, Christian, Muslim and Jewish religious leaders denounced the “misinformation and outright bigotry” against US Muslims resulting from plans to build a Muslim community centre and mosque not far from the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York.
Tensions have risen with the approach of both the September 11 anniversary on Saturday and the Muslim eid al-Fitr festival that marks the close of the fasting month of Ramadan, which is expected to end around Friday.
Passions have been further inflamed by Terry Jones, the pastor of a 30-person church in Gainesville, Florida, who has announced plans to burn a Koran on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
Mr Jones says he wants to “expose Islam” as a “violent and oppressive religion”.
Religious leaders, including Washington Roman Catholic Archbishop emeritus Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and Dr Michael Kinnamon of the National Council of Churches, released a statement saying they were “alarmed by the anti-Muslim frenzy” and “appalled by such disrespect for a sacred text”.
“To attack any religion in the United States is to do violence to the religious freedom of all Americans,” said the religious leaders, including Rabbi David Saperstein, head of the Union for Reform Judaism, and Rabbi Julie Schonfeld of the Association of Conservative Rabbis.
“The threatened burning of copies of the Holy Qu’ran this Saturday is a particularly egregious offence that demands the strongest possible condemnation by all who value civility in public life and seek to honour the sacred memory of those who lost their lives on September 11,” they said.
The planned Koran-burning by the Dove World Outreach Centre has already prompted protests in Kabul.
Several hundred Afghans – mostly students from religious schools – gathered outside the Milad ul-Nabi mosque and chanted “Death to America” in anger over the plans.
General David Petraeus, the head of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement that the Koran burning could “endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort” to stabilise the Afghan situation.
“It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems, not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community,” General Petraeus said.
Petraeus bashes plan to burn Qurans
WASHINGTON: Top US military commander in Afghanistan has denounced a Florida church’s plans to burn Qurans on September 11, saying it would put the lives of American troops overseas in danger.
General David Petraeus said that the move will be used by the Taliban to boost their image and will drum up anger against US troops.
“It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort,” Petraeus told The Wall Street Journal.
“It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems,” Petraeus added.
The Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, says it will burn copies of the holy Quran on church grounds to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
There have been daily demonstrations against the church’s plan in Afghanistan since Friday.
The pastor of the church, Terry Jones, distributed T-shirts bearing anti-Islamic slogans last year. AGENCIES

World Shia Leader Urges Quick Int'l Aid for Pakistan
World Shia Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has criticized international
organizations for failing to administer aid to flooded Pakistan, urging Muslims’ quick assistance to help recover the country.
(JNN) News Agency, “Unfortunately, international organizations have not carried out their duties well to render services to disaster-stricken people, which itself needs to be analyzed and scrutinized,” Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei said in a statement on Tuesday.
Imam Khamenei called on all Muslims across the world to join hands in helping flood-hit Pakistanis.
“We are obliged to fulfill our duties and rush to help our devastated brothers and sisters,” the Leader said.
More than 1,600 Pakistanis have lost their lives in the floods that have hit nearly one fifth of the country. The UN says more than 17 million Pakistanis have been affected, as five million people have been made homeless as a result of the unprecedented floods.
The situation caused by the floods is worsening as hunger, lack of hygiene and drinking water, and the threat of an epidemic have put lives of many Pakistanis at risk.
The flooding is considered the worst in the country’s history.

Ahlul Bayt News Agency, Quraeah, Bahrain – A Shiite Muslim opposition party Wednesday threatened to boycott Bahrain’s parliamentary elections, due in October, unless democratic reforms are introduced.
The Islamic Action Society (Amal) said it wanted to see constitutional reforms aimed at making parliament more independent.

The other three opposition groupings, which comprise Shiite Islamists, pan-Arabs, and communists, have confirmed that they will be contesting the elections, which are set for October 23.
Black Water trained terrorist of Sipah e Sahaba , Martyred Khadim Hussain
Karachi: Mirza Khadim Hussain son of Moulana Mirza Yousuf Hussain shot martyred in an incident of target killing in Nazimabad locality on Monday night by the terrorist of Banned Sipah e Sahaba. Police investigators believed that the same nexus of target killers who assassinated MQM MPA Syed Raza Haider and various Shia men who had been gunned down in the recent spate of target killing is behind the killing of Shia leader’s son killing.
A 37-year-old Khadim Hussain, son of Moulana Mirza Yousuf Hussain was gunned down near Shalimar Park within the limits of Nazimabad police station. The incident took place soon after the deceased left the house located in the same area for buying pan on a motorcycle. “The motorcyclists culprits taking advantage of the power failure in the locality targeted and shot him several times,” Ali Ahmer, Jaffaria Alliance Pakistan (JAP) spokesman said. The spokesman further said that the deceased received multiple bullets in his head, chest and neck and died shortly after he was moved to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital .
As the news of his killing spread across the city, the score of Shia leaders, workers and relatives reached the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital and chanted slogans against the failure of the government and the banned religious outfits.
Following the incident, tension and fear gripped up various parts of the city especially Shia dominated areas including Incholi, Malir Jaffer Tayyar, Abbas Town and others where the routine and commercial life suspended.
The deceased hailed from Gilgit and was a father of three children. In the incident, one passerby was also wounded.
MWM, JAP while condemning the incident blamed the banned outfit behind the target killing of the prominent Shia leader’s son and demanded the government to make arrest of the culprits behind the killing of Khadim and various other Shia men killed earlier in the ongoing targeted killing incidents.
The trend of Killing the Brothers and sons of Prominent Shia People is very dangerous as it shows that the terrorist wants to instigate the community for Riots and sectarian clashes , but the shia community have shown patience , as taught by there Imam , to be patient in the hours of distress . First the Brother of Pesh Imam of Jafaria Imam Bargah was target Killed, then the Brother of Trustee of Aza Khan e Zehra was target Killed , and now the Son of Pesh Imam of Masjid e Noor e Iman , and Leader of Shia Action Committe is Targeted and Killed .
Iranian Grand Shia Cleric Authorizes Donation of Part of Khoms Charity Tax to Pakistan Flood Victims
Grand Ayatollah Ali Safi Golpayegani issued a statement on Saturday authorizing that a third of the Imam’s share of the khoms charity tax be donated to floods victims in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s worst floods in 80 years have left 20 million people homeless and six million without food, medicine, or shelter.
A third of Pakistan is now under water, and fresh rainfall threatens two more waves of flooding in the southern province of Sindh.
According to the Encyclopedia of the Middle East, the Khoms charity tax as interpreted by the Jafari school of Shia Islam consists of a “tax on one fifth of the income, in addition to the zakat. It is calculated as a capital gains tax. The tax is paid to the governor, but it is voluntary and is never a forced exaction.”
According to the book Religion, Globalization, and Political Culture in the Third World, edited by Jeffrey Haynes, “Half of the khoms, known as the Imam’s share (sahm-e imam or vodjuhat) is generally collected by a network of mosques and is centralized by the devotional leaders (marja taqlid)… It is intended to ensure the material upkeep of the clergy.”
In response to the severe flooding in the Islamic state of Pakistan, which has claimed many lives and brought devastation to the Muslim people of that county, Ayatollah Safi Golpayegani expresses his condolences and allows a third of the Imam’s share to be donated as humanitarian assistance for Pakistan, the statement said.
Netanyahu to travel with Mossad agents
JNN 14.08.10 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been forced to seek Mossad’s help on organizing his Greece visit as Israeli’s foreign ministry staff are currently on strike.
Foreign ministry employees in Israel are on strike in protest at the low pay and benefits they receive compared with the Mossad, Shin Bet and other government agencies with missions abroad. As a result, some 100 Israeli embassies throughout the world are refusing to go to work.
The unusual decision by the prime minister sparked anger among foreign ministry officials, who accuse Netanyahu of trying to break a legal strike by using another body.
Israeli diplomats have also vowed to cut off contact with all units of the Mossad, which is preparing Netanyahu’s Greece visit through its network of residents abroad who have close contacts with government officials and security agencies in the host country.
Meanwhile, the employees of Israel’s Athens embassy have boycotted Netanyahu’s trip.
“The ambassador will not meet the prime minister at the airport and nobody from the foreign ministry will lift a finger for this trip,” a foreign ministry workers’ committee source said.
“It is unacceptable that the prime minister would use another body, which is strictly in charge of security matters, to break a strike,” the source added.
According to Israeli media, the Athens visit is too important to be delayed as it is intended to strengthen ties with Greece after Israel failed to repair its once strong relations with former regional ally Turkey.
Netanyahu is due to travel to Greece on Monday for talks with Prime Minister George Papandreou and other leading officials.
CIA physicians 'professionalize' torture
JNN 10.08.10 CIA physicians have provided guidelines to interrogators and documented the effects of the enhanced interrogation techniques, a report says.
This week, The Journal of American Medical Association published a report entitled “Roles of CIA Physicians in Enhanced Interrogation and Torture of Detainees,” which states that the CIA doctors, irrespective of medical ethical standards, performed on-site medical evaluations of detainees before and during interrogation.
The CIA Office of Medical Services said that the methods did not amount to torture, while recognizing that abusive techniques created serious medical risks.
Isolation, loud music, continuous light or darkness, extreme cold, food deprivation and waterboarding were just some of the abusive techniques to name.
In June, Physicians for Human Rights accused the Bush administration of turning the prisoners in CIA custody into research subjects.
The international non-governmental organization detailed how medical professionals conducted illegal “enhanced interrogation” techniques on the detainees and later collected data in order to study and refine the techniques
Top rabbi to be tried for sex crimes
JNN 10.08.10 Israeli police say there is sufficient evidence to press charges against Rabbi Mordechai Elon in the allegations of sexual abuse leveled against him by former students.
They said that the prominent religious Zionist rabbi should be tried for allegedly committing indecent acts by force against minors.
Elon called the matter a “terrible blood libel, a complaint without foundation,” by a “person whose stability is doubtful,” Ynetnews reported.
The investigation began in February, after Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein received several complaints alleging Elon to having committed sexual offences against young boys that came to him for advice.
Police investigators said that they have talked to a number of people and two boys have agreed to testify that the rabbi had sexually assaulted them between 2005 and 2006 when they were minors.
Elon, 50, was also the host of a popular TV program on the weekly Torah portion and worked to build understanding and cooperation between the religious and secular sectors, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Karachi Police Probing TTP’s Role in Raza Haider’s killing
LAHORE: Daily Times has learnt that the Karachi Police and the Intelligence Bureau is investigating the role of a top leader of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Qari Muhammad Zafar alias Ustad-e-Fidayeen, in the assassination of MQM leader Raza Haider.
It is being suspected that Zafar is the chief architect of the killing of Raza Haider, who was shot along with his guard inside a mosque in Karachi on August 2, 2010.
Zafar, who is on the US State Department’s “wanted-list”, has head money of $5 million and he is also believed to be behind the bombing at the US Consulate on March 2, 2006.
An investigator who has followed Qari Zafar told Daily Times, “So important is Qari Zafar to the TTP that they faked his death so he could work in peace – he runs Hakeemullah Mehsud’s Karachi Chapter and has hundreds of operatives working for him in the city”.
On February 24 this year, a US drone targeted a vehicle and a compound run by the Haqqanis at Dargi Mandi near North Waziristan, and claimed that Qari Zafar had been killed in the attack.
As it turned out, the TTP faked Zafar’s death and the TTP leader is also believed to be behind the Ashura procession attack and the Nishtar Park bombing in Karachi.
Zafar is a senior leader of the Fidayeen-e-Islam, an alliance between the TTP and anti-Shia Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Jaish-e-Muhammad. The group was based in South Waziristan and has moved to North Waziristan only recently.
Sources say that the LeJ is being single-handedly led by Zafar, who has become a trusted member of al Qaeda thanks to Qari Hussain Mehsud – a close aide of Hakeemullah Mesud.
“The worst part is that Zafar is a Karachiite of Pakhtun origins, so he knows the ball game,” one investigator told Daily Times.
The sources said, Zafar sent out various messages and communications that were intercepted by intelligence agencies, who subsequently informed the MQM leadership to keep a “low profile”.
One of the plans of Qari Abdullah was to explode a C4-filled truck at MQM headquarters, which gave out clues to the investigators that Qari Zafar was also involved in the Marriott Hotel bombing in Islamabad on September 20, 2008.
Apparently, Zafar had to cancel the plan to attack MQM headquarters due to unprecedented security.
It was then the TTP, along with Qari Zafar, that opted to go for “softer targets” of the MQM, which included the party’s lower and mid-cadre unit and sector members.
At the same time, due to sectarian inclination of the LeJ, Shia members of the MQM were made primary targets and the hit list had on it top MQM leaders, including MQM’s top leader Haider Abbas Rizvi.
Intelligence officials said “leaders like Dr Farooq Sattar, Faisal Sabzwari are also on the list”.
Investigators are also looking into the assassination of Raza Haider, which one of the investigators said resembled the target killing of Maj Gen (r) Faisal Alavi, a former SSG commander who was killed in Rawalpindi in November 2008.
Intelligence agencies confirmed that it was none other than Qari Zafar himself who dispatched a suicide bomber to kill Shia leader Allama Hasan Turabi at his residence, besides also ordering the recent killings of Shias in the city.
It was also revealed that Zafar had been caught by law enforcement agencies once, but he had managed to escape.

‘If you are reduced to poverty, then trade with Allah (SWT) through giving in charity.’ Imam Ali (AS)
Since 28 July 2010, heavy monsoon rainfall in north-west Pakistan has caused catastrophic floods in different rivers causing more then 1170 dead, misplacing thousands of families and damaging infrastructure. In the worst-affected areas, entire villages were washed away and thousands of people have lost everything. Over 3 million people would be affected and forecasters have predicted more rain in the upcoming days that will cause further devastation. This is the worst flooding in more than 80 years in Pakistan.
PAKISTAN FLOOD APPEAL 2010

Millions descending to Holy Karbala for Shabaniyah Festival
HOLY CITY OF KARBALA, Iraq: Ziyarah Ash-Shabaniyah or the Shabaniyah
festival, which climaxes on Wednesday Shaban 15 July 28, marks the birth anniversary of the Imam of Era Al-Imam Mohammed Al-Mahdi (A), the 12th infallible descendant of Prophet Mohammed (S) and the Last Proof of Allah, who disappeared in the 9th century.
Amid tight security, millions of devotees are flooding to the holy shrine of Al-Imam al-Hussein bin Ali bin Abi Talib (AS) in the holy city of Karbala to observe Ziyarah Ash-Shabaniyah, which is the best amal (deed) of the blessed night of 15 Sha’ban.
Atmosphere in the holy city is filled with further spirituality, bliss and happiness. Wholecity is beautifully bedecked with lights, colorful buntings and flowers.
Since the beginning of the month of Shaban, devotees from across the country and other parts of the world – young and old, men and women, mostly on foot, some individually, some in caravans -, carrying white, green and red banners inscribed with ‘Al-Ajal Ya Imam Al-Asr (AS)’ were heading to the holy city to achieve the honor of visiting Imam Al-Hussein (AS) marking 15 Sha’ban.
Narrations from A’immah Ahlul Bayt (AS) tell that fifteenth night of Sha’ban (night between 14 and 15 Sha’ban) is the best after the night of Qadr. The birth of Prophet Muhammad (S)’s last descendant Al-Imam Al-Hujjah bin Al-Hassan Al-Mahdi Al-Montadhar (AS) in Sorra Mann Ra’a, Iraq, in 255 AH, further increased the honor and excellence of this night.
According to a saying of Chief of Prophets Prophet Muhammad (S), Al-Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) will return to deliver humanity from darkness and strife, and he will fill the earth with justice and equity as it would have been filled with oppression and injustice.
The fifteenth Sha’ban A’maal will culminate with the floating of thousands of candles and scented letters to Imam Al-Mahdi – Imam of the Era (AS) – on a river in Holy Karbala at 15 Sha’ban pre-dawn.
Residents of holy Karbala cook unique meals in giant pots at open places for the devotees outside the Al-Imam Al-Hussein (AS) shrine. Food and drink stands have been set up for the pilgrims.
Yemen president says 'no' to war with Shia Muslims
Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh said Sunday he did not want another
war with Shiite in northern Yemen, after a week of clashes reportedly killed at least 70 people.
Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh said Sunday he did not want another war with Shiite in northern Yemen, after a week of clashes reportedly killed at least 70 people.
“Peace, security and stability are the choice of the state,” Saleh said at a military ceremony.
“I say no to another war” with the Shiite Huthis, Saleh added.
His remarks came a day after tribal mediators succeeded to halt fighting between the Huthis and the army-backed tribe of Bin Aziz. At least 70 people were killed in those clashes and related fighting.
“Stop jeopardising the security and stability of the province of Saada,” Saleh said.
After six rounds of fighting between government forces and the Huthis, Saleh earlier this month ruled out another conflict with the Shias.
Both sides have repeatedly accused the other of violating the February ceasefire.
Sayyed Nasrallah: We Won’t Allow Anyone to Hurt the Resistance Dignity
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed on Sunday that
its part would not allow anyone, whoever he was, to hurt the dignity of the resistance. This resistance, according to Sayyed Nasrallah, was able to crush the new Middle East plan in 2006.
Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA.ir), Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed on Sunday that its part would not allow anyone, whoever he was, to hurt the dignity of the resistance. This resistance, according to Sayyed Nasrallah, was able to crush the new Middle East plan in 2006.
Speaking in a ceremony honoring the martyr’s children at Shahed Institution in Beirut’s southern suburb, The Sayyed started his speech by paying tribute to the resistance martyrs.
“For 30 years, the martyrs have been the most important symbols of this country. They are the best victory makers of this nation. They protected its dignity and presence… We, as a resistance movement, have offered the most precious [of our sons]. My leader in the Resistance, Sayyed Abbas al-Moussawi and my brother in jihad, Imad Moghniyyeh, are the most precious people I have lost,” his eminence said.
Sayyed Nasrallah added that with these sacrifices, the Resistance is the most precious of what we have, stressing that “we will not allow anyone in the world – small or big -to hurt its dignity.”
Hezbollah Secretary General continued, “All plots that threatened Lebanon, Palestine and the region were stopped by the Resistance. The Resistance prevented the plot in 1982 and the one in 2000 that aimed to accomplish the project of [building a] greater Israel [by invading Lebanon]. In 2006, the Resistance put an end to the new Middle East project, which was highly funded. This Resistance made Lebanon in the heart of the regional equation after it was inferior. It made Lebanon a player.”
His eminence stressed that the Resistance made Lebanon strong and that was why officials come to the country, adding that this Resistance was the reason that leaders meet Lebanese officials abroad.
Sayyed Nasrallah also thanked all people who helped the Resistance in Lebanon, from Iran to Syria to all honorable people, however, he stressed that the Resistance was the one that fought. He also said that unfortunately everyone, but some Lebanese, knows the value of this Resistance, including Lebanon’s enemies who are planning to take it away.
“They may bargain on gas and oil but they can never bargain on the Resistance,” his eminence stressed, adding that the war on the Resistance will continue, and (US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey) Feltman himself admitted this before Congress.
Sayyed Nasrallah also said that the international community tried to bring the resistance power to an end in the 2006 July War and failed. “I will talk about this during the victory ceremony, which was postponed to August 3 upon President Michel Sleiman’s request because he will receive prominent guests in Lebanon on July 30.”
Full Text; Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah Press Conference in Beirut
“My press conference today is for the people to hear me well and not to
quote me” from different sources, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah began his press conference in Beirut’s southern suburb Thursday night.
“My press conference today is for the people to hear me well and not to quote me” from different sources, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah began his press conference in Beirut’s southern suburb Thursday night.
The Sayyed stressed that “we have to bear in mind that as of this moment, Lebanon has been pushed into a very sensitive and complicate stage from the gates of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).” His eminence also underlined the right of the resistance to defend itself regardless of those who “philosophize and claim that he who defends himself confesses his crime.”
“An indictment had been written, before the investigation (into the assassination of former PM Rafiq Hariri) and before Hezbollah members were interrogated as witnesses. It was written but its issuance was delayed for political reasons. Judge Daniel Belmar’s deliberations with UNSC members and French officials had to do with the political timing, not the context. Before leaving to Washington, PM Saad Hariri visited me and told me that in month ‘x’, an indictment will be issued and it will implicate ‘undisciplined members of Hezbollah’, not the whole party.”
The Hezbollah chief lashed out at “those who protested my speech last week” adding that they don’t want Hezbollah to speak out before the issuance of the indictment. “We firmly reject this as we firmly reject accusing any Hezbollah member.”
His eminence pointed that from the first minutes after Hariri was assassinated, the media were ready to implicate Syria and the four generals in the crime. “The media are also ready today for any indictment. We believe that there is a major plot to target the resistance, Lebanon, and the whole region. I cannot be sure that an indictment would be issued in September or October because the date can be postponed for political reasons, however an indictment will be issued eventually in accordance with the plot that has been prepared for the region.”
Sayyed Nasrallah reminded that the target was the resistance “which constitutes the main obstacle for any settlement that would establish a U.S. and Israeli hegemony against the Palestinians.” He called on so-called March 14 powers to review their position “because the results of their stances and their policies have affected Lebanon and the region.”
The Sayyed praised MP Walid Jumblatt for his courage to make a clear and public review. “It is not enough to say in 2010: we want to good and normal relations with Syria. They ought to say that they have made serious mistakes since 2005 and that they were heading straight to the abyss and dragging you (March 14 audience) behind us. Do you have enough courage to say what you have concluded and yet, you refuse to reveal? Brave and sincere leaderships admit their mistakes. No one is asking you for an apology.”
The Secretary General reminded that in 2005 the so called March 14 leadership had immediately accused Syria of assassinating Hariri, without investigation and without proof. “You were the prosecutor and you were the punishers. You dragged the whole country based on your accusation.” He added that five years later, the same March 14 camp is calling for normal relations with Damascus. “This cannot pass that easy…What is the guarantee that you will not take the country towards more mazes in the five or ten years to come? What you did in this country in terms of confessional and sectarian incitement is unprecedented in 100 years of Lebanon’s history. What is the guilt of those Hezbollah members, the Shiites and the rest of the opposition on top of which were our Sunni brothers? What is the crime of Syria’s allies who were later called opposition forces, including General Michel Aoun? You said during general elections in 2005: Anyone who votes for ‘them’ would be voting for PM Hariri’s killers. Elections took place based on a false accusation to Syria and its allies in Lebanon, and these elections gave birth to a government that took decisions.”
Sayyed Nasrallah went on to say that the March 14 racist speech led to the killing of several Syrian laborers in Lebanon, served in isolating then President Emile Lahoud, fueling the endeavor to occupy the Presidential Palace in Baabda, toppling then PM Omar Karameh and pointing the finger at him and his ministers, isolating some judges, and throwing four innocent officers in jail for four years. “The one thing that has never changed is that there is still no evidence to implicate Syria despite the false witnesses they brought to the investigation.”
The Hezbollah chief then addressed the Lebanese in general and the March 14 supporters in particular saying that “we are the victims of big schemes; much bigger than us and much bigger than Lebanon.”
“If these political leaderships did not make their review and did not correct their mistakes, knowing that during four and half years, they took the country to the most difficult stage in its history…in the framework of a big scheme for the region, will you be willing to follow their lead after all this experience? You are free and you bear the responsibility.”
Sayyed Nasrallah concluded his speech saying that Hezbollah was not afraid of anything, even the indictment. “Let them issue it now and let us finish already. Those who conspire against the resistance and Lebanon – and have so far failed – ought to be concerned because more schemes will be foiled. We know the nature of the responsibility that we’re shouldering and we urge those who have so far miscalculated their moves to make the right calculations this time.”
The Secretary General answered the questions of reporters who were following up his speech through a giant screen at the Shahed School.
In one of his answers, the Sayyed pointed that Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Saudi Arabia can do a lot concerning the STL indictment. “They can tell those who are playing the ‘game of the nations’ that Lebanon cannot afford such games. I believe that they (Hariri and S.Arabia) have the stature that enables them to say just that. However, I am not asking them to do anything. It is up to them to take the decision they see fit.”
His eminence said he was asking no one to apologize. “All I asked was that they make a review and speak frankly to their audience. I have not called for the resignation of the government or anyone else, however I shall have a position after the issuance of the indictment.”
Concerning PM Hariri’s position after the indictment, Sayyed Nasrallah said: “Both our positions will be difficult and everybody should observe Lebanon’s interest.”
Responding to a question about Hezbollah respecting STL decisions, the S.G. said: “We have never said that we respect the tribunal’s decisions and we have never said that we do not respect them. We have doubted the tribunal from day one; this is why we requested that the issue of the tribunal be discussed by the Cabinet. Everybody knows how the previous administration passed the Tribunal bill; Hezbollah and Amal Movement minister were not given three day – not one week, but three days only – to study the bill. Despite this, we backed the principle of establishing the court. Unless the court’s resolutions were based on solid and true evidence, I cannot accept its decisions, and it does not seem to me that the court is founding its decisions on solid evidence. If the court said that Al-Qaeda had killed Hariri, I would refuse its conclusion because the international investigation has skipped one hypothesis; the Israeli hypothesis. Israel has the motive, the capabilities, the control and the interest to kill Hariri, but it is forbidden to work on this hypothesis. As long as it does not take this hypothesis into consideration, the court will not be unprejudiced.”
Sayyed Nasrallah stressed he did not attack the Information Branch in his speech last week.
“The truth is that I thanked it for the efforts exerted recently to nab spies. I only asked a question, and this is my right. What was leaked in the press is not enough and confirms my information. I will not say that the Information Branch provided us with false information because the Branch has its own analyses of telephone calls which result in certain conclusions that are not necessarily definite. The same Branch interrogated people suspected of spying for Israel, some came out innocent and others confessed to collaborating with Israel. These are technical matters. The Branch did not lie to us, but the conclusions of their analyses were wrong. They gave us three telephone numbers for three Hezbollah officials suspected of collaborating with Israel. We took those three numbers and we summoned the brothers who owned the numbers. You should know that we do not tolerate collaboration with Israel. Those brothers are still Hezbollah officials because we conducted a real and serious investigation that led us to a definite conclusion. If I had the slightest proof that they had been penetrated by the Israel Mossad, I would have at least isolated them and fired them from the party. We don’t even tolerate suspicion of collaboration. Why we given those names? Why is there an attempt to portray us as a penetrated party? This is something that has to do with a story that I will tell you during my next press conference God willing.”
The Hezbollah Secretary General concluded that the party has never and will never wage war, “knowing that the breakout of any war in the region will not be limited. In 2006 we captured two Israeli soldiers; never in history had the capture of two soldiers led to war.”
“We are a resistance movement working on liberating the rest of our occupied land our own way and we will defend our country like we have alway done-
Wahabi Militants kill Shia travelers in Kurrum Agency Pakistan
JNN 18.07.10 Pro-Taliban militants have opened fire on a convoy in Pakistan’s restive northwest, killing 16 Shia Muslims and injuring several others.
According to Pakistani officials, the bus convoy was heading from Parachinar in Kurram Agency to the city of Peshawar.
“Sixteen people from the Shiite community have been killed and four were injured in the attack,” a senior security official said in Peshawar.
A Press TV correspondent reported on Saturday that those killed included several women and children.
Officials said some of those wounded were in critical condition.
The convoy came under attack as it was escorted by Pakistani security forces.
The road linking the region with Peshawar often remains closed for security concerns. Civilian convoys have repeatedly asked for the country’s security personnel to protect them.
Shia Muslims in Pakistan’s Kurram Agency have been facing a humanitarian crisis since November 2007 when pro-Taliban militants cut off the area from the rest of the country.
According to local sources, more than 2,000 Shia Muslims have been killed in the region since the start of the campaign by pro-Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked militants.
The extremist groups have launched a violent campaign against the Shia Muslims, and are stretching their campaign southwards.
Quetta, the capital of Pakistan’s restive Balochistan Province has witnessed several instances of violence against the Hazara Shia community in recent months.
Several Shia gatherings have also been targeted in the central province of Punjab over the past few months.
Shia sources say they make up one-third of Pakistan’s population of nearly 160 million. Since the 1980s, thousands of people have been killed in sectarian-related incidents in Pakistan
Atlast Punjab Government says it ordered 'crackdown' on militants
JNN 12.-7.10 LAHORE: Pakistan’s political heartland has ordered a crackdown on militants after a series of devastating attacks and accusations of links to banned groups, officials said Monday.
General Public of Pakistan have long demanded that Pakistan root out extremist militant groups that use its soil to launch attacks across the country, as well as in neighbouring Afghanistan and India.
But the details and scope of the apparent crackdown – which comes just days before Pakistan is due to host India’s Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna for talks in Islamabad – were unclear.
“The government has ordered a policy of zero tolerance against all these groups. There are at least 2,000 to 2,200 activists of banned outfits being closely monitored in Punjab,” police official Akram Naeem Bharoka told AFP.
“We have very clear instructions from the government that no outlawed organisation should be allowed to continue their activities in any part of the province,” Bharoka said.
Asked how many people had been arrested and offices targeted, the senior official in Punjab police said only that figures were being compiled.
Police confirmed raids and arrests of militants from extremist Wahabi Muslim group Sipah-e-Sihaba Pakistan (SSP) and Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a charity seen as a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba group India blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
“We have arrested at least eight people belonging to different banned organisations,” Lahore city police chief Aslam Tareen told AFP.
“These organisations have been involved in distributing hate material and promoting sectarianism,” he said. The government ordered police to curb the activities of these groups, he added.
While the Sindh Government is still in Watch and wait situation , even after the continued target Killing in the Capital of the Province , the Biggest City of Pakistan , Karachi , with a Population of about 20 Million People , from where even High Value Targets Like Mulla Braader are being arrested , where the presence of these high value target itself shows that they dont travel to places where they dont have there whole community to guard them and mingle in them , Jafaria News Network correspondent Research and Analysis says that Taliban , and there associated Terrorist Organisations are now trying to hide in the Mega Metropolis City of Karachi, where they are now trying to re organize , and recruit the local people , which can mingle and operate easily in the city , and can perform there duties deputed to them, without being Marked . Which is a very alarming situation and if an early notice is not taken and a Major Crack down against these Wahabi Terrorist proclaimed offenders and there Organisations is not done before any Big disaster in the city happens, God forbid.Then it will be too late.
While another crackdown is also badly needed in and around Kurram Agency to free it from terrorist , because of whom its Capital Parachinar and it’s linking road is being besieged by the terrorists for the last three years , and the citizens are paying up a heavy cost , as they are cut off from Pakistan , and have to travel to Afghanistan for all there necessities of life.
God bless Pakistan and its Peace Loving Citizens, Especially the Shia Muslim community which has shown there patience and courage , even after bearing over a dozen shahdats of there Youth and Elders being Targeted and Killed .
New militant group emerges in Pakistan
JNN. 12.07.10 ISLAMABAD: Pakistani authorities now believe a dangerous new militant group, out to avenge a deadly army assault on a mosque in Islamabad three years ago, has carried out several major bombings in the capital previously blamed on the Taliban.
The emergence of the Ghazi Force was part of the outrage among many deeply religious Pakistani Muslims over the July 2007 attack by security forces against the Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, a stronghold of militants.
The fierce attack, in which scores of young, heavily armed students died, inspired a new generation of militants.
These Pakistanis have turned against a government they felt has betrayed them and, to their dismay, backed the US role in neighboring Afghanistan.
The brief but bloody history of the Ghazi Force illustrates the unintended results of Pakistan’s policy of promoting extremists to fight India in the disputed area of Kashmir.
That policy— which Pakistan denies it pursues —now threatens regional stability as the US and Pakistan’s other Western partners pour billions of dollars into the country to stop the rise of militancy.
The new group is made up of relatives of students who died in the Red Mosque assault.
It is named after the students’ leader, Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi, who was also killed. The mosque’s adjacent religious school, or madrassa, had been a sanctuary for militants opposed to Pakistan’s support of the US-run war in Afghanistan.
Private television stations broadcast vivid scenes of the assault —commandos in black fatigues rapelling down ropes, the crackle of gunfire, bodies of black-shrouded girls carried out through the smoldering gates.
Those images stunned the nation, especially families of the students and Pakistanis with deep religious feelings.
Islamabad’s inspector general of police, Kalim Imam, told The Associated Press that the Ghazi Force was behind most of the deadliest attacks in the capital during the last three years.
The attacks targeted the military, the Inter-Services Intelligence agency or ISI and a five-star hotel frequented by foreigners and the Pakistani elite.
The Ghazi Force helped recruit a security official who blew himself up inside the office of the World Food Program last October, killing five people, according to Imam.
The force also sent a suicide bomber in September 2007 into the mess hall of the commando unit that attacked the Red Mosque, killing 22 people, he said.
Ghazi Force members may also have been involved in the audacious June 9 attack north of the capital that killed seven people and destroyed 60 vehicles ferrying supplies to Nato and US soldiers next door in Afghanistan, Imam said.
Many of those attacks had been attributed to the Pakistani Taliban, which operates in the remote tribal areas of the northwest along the border with Afghanistan.
There is evidence of close ties between the Ghazi Force and the Pakistani Taliban, which the government has vowed to crush.
The Ghazi Force is believed to be headquartered in the Orakzai region of the border area, where the leader of the Pakistan Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud, held sway for years. The leader of the Ghazi Force is believed to be Maulana Niaz Raheem, a former student at the Red Mosque.
Anger over the bloodshed at the mosque was all the greater because many of the militants and their supporters felt betrayed by a government that had once supported them.
Both Ghazi and his brother Maulana Abdul Aziz Ghazi, who was freed on bail this year after two years in jail, were widely believed to have been on the payrolls of both the government and the ISI intelligence service.
Their father, Maulana Mohammad Abdullah, enjoyed a close relationship with the late President Mohammad Zia ul-Haq, and the mosque was a center for recruiting volunteers to fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
As opposition grew to Pakistan’s support of the US role in Afghanistan, the mosque became a center of religious agitation against the government, with armed students taking over the complex and police laying siege.
A former senior official in the Interior Ministry told The Associated Press that the police wanted to storm the mosque and end the siege at its outset, send the students home and shut down the religious school and a neighboring library until tempers cooled.
President Gen. Pervez Musharraf refused, the official said, even though police knew that members of al-Qaida’s affiliate organization Jaish-e-Mohammad, which is banned in Pakistan, were bringing in weapons for the students.
Musharraf relented and ordered the assault after militants kidnapped several Chinese nationals running a massage parlor in Islamabad, accusing them of prostitution. The death toll remains in dispute. Red Mosque officials say hundreds died. The government says fewer than 100 were killed.

Top Shia cleric dies in Lebanon
JNN 05.07.10 Lebanon’s leading Shia Muslim cleric, a key figure in the founding of Hezbollah, has died aged 74, hospital sources have said.
Grand Ayatollah Fadlallah died in a Beirut hospital on Sunday where he was admitted on Friday for internal bleeding.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah was regarded as Hezbollah’s spiritual guide after it was founded in 1982.
A vocal critic of the United States, Ayatollah Fadlallah used to slam US warmongering policies in the Middle East, particularly its alliance with Israel.
Born in Najaf, Iraq, Fadlallah studied Islamic sciences in Najaf before moving to Lebanon in 1952.
In the following decades, he delivered many lectures, engaged in intense scholarship, wrote dozens of books, founded several Islamic religious schools, and established the Mabarrat Association.
Through that association he established a public library, a women’s cultural center, and a medical clinic.
The Grand Ayatollah was the target of several assassination attempts, including the CIA-sponsored and Saudi-funded March 8, 1985 Beirut car bombing that killed 80 people.
'Saudi Arabia training Iraq terrorists'
JNN 05.07.10 
Saudi Arabia has set up a military base near its border with Jordan for training militants to conduct terrorist activities in war-weary Iraq, informed sources say.
The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the terrorists were receiving training from ranking Saudi army officers.
Leak intelligence documents embarrassed Saudi officials in May when Iraq’s Buratha news agency revealed that Riyadh has been transferring large sums of money to al-Qaeda terrorists in neighboring Iraq.
The new agency later said up to 37 people had been arrested in connection with the leak, after Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz ordered a special committee to investigate the disclosure.
According to the sources, Riyadh is also supporting the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) — an anti-Iran listed terrorist group listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community.
They said Saudi Arabia is providing MKO terrorists with equipment free of charge.
Aside from conducting numerous acts of terror in Iran, the MKO is also known to have aided Iraq’s notorious dictator Saddam Hussein in suppressing the 1991 Shia uprisings in southern Iraq and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds

Abdul Aleem who was owner of barber Shop in Mastung was martyred on last night on 28th, 2010 at 11:30 PM while he was going to home after closing his shop.
The killing of Abdul Aleem Mangi was a part of a series of Shia target killing incidents that have been going on in Quetta and Balochistan from the last five years.
The genocide of Shia Muslims in Pakistan continue unabated. Recent reports from Quetta and Mastung (Balochistan), Dera Ismail Khan, Kurram Agency, and Karachi are incontrovertible fact that the Holocaust of Shia Muslims, anti-Shi’ism and anti-Shia Pogrom have no match in the human history.
Where is United Nations, where are self-claimed champions on war on terrorism and their local allies? Where are human rights organisations, civil society, lawyers? Where are those who are legally bound to ensure safety and security of life, property and honour of all Pakistani citizens.

Israel Preparing to Repeat the “Marmara” Scenario, Lebanon to Respond
Lebanon is preparing to explain its position at the UN Security Council in
response to Israeli threats to prevent ships that could sail from Lebanese ports in an attempt to break the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip, Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Sunday. JNN: According to Ahlul Bayt News Agency , Lebanon is preparing to explain its position at the UN Security Council in response to Israeli threats to prevent ships that could sail from Lebanese ports in an attempt to break the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip, Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Sunday.
The paper quoted an unnamed source as saying that Lebanon will reject Israeli accusations, especially after the letter sent by Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gabriela Shalev on Friday to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Security Council members pointing to alleged links between the sponsors of a new Gaza-bound aid ship and Hezbollah.
This comes as some 50 Christian and Muslim Lebanese women as well as foreigners, who say they are not affiliated to any political party, are preparing to leave Lebanon on Sunday on board of the Lebanese aid ship Mariam. The first boat, Naji el-Ali, is set to leave Beirut with 25 European activists onboard, including parliament members and some 50 journalists, including humanitarian equipment. The ship, which will be loaded with medical supplies for cancer patients, would be the latest bid to break Israel’s four-year blockade of the territory. Julia, which has been docking at Tripoli port for about two months, is one of two ships to be used by Lebanese, Arab and foreign activists to carry aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Al-Hayat newspaper also quoted an official Lebanese source as saying that an Israeli attack on Lebanese citizens aboard a Gaza-bound aid ship in international waters will amount to an aggression on Lebanon. “Lebanon will not stand idle if Israel attacks Lebanese and foreign civilians in international waters as it did with the Turkish ship a few weeks ago, even though Lebanon is not sponsoring [the new aid ship to Gaza],” the source said, referring to the Israeli attack on an aid flotilla in May that left nine Turks dead.
The source added that Lebanese laws do not prohibit civilians from sailing from its ports. However, the source said that preparations by Lebanese, Arab and foreign activists and journalists to sail from Lebanese ports carrying aid to Gaza have not yet reached their final stage.
WOULD ISRAEL ATTACK LEBANESE BOATS?
Meanwhile, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai quoted a diplomatic source as saying that US Ambassador Michele Sison met with Prime Minister Saad Hariri two days ago to warn him about the actions Israel could take to prevent aid ships sailing from Lebanon to the Gaza Strip.
The report added that Hezbollah’s declaration that it had nothing to do with the aid missions from Lebanon to Gaza might not be sufficient to avert a possible sea confrontation.
The paper quoted an unnamed Western diplomatic source as saying that the Lebanese government has not yet responded to mediation attempts to prevent the Mariam aid ship from sailing from Lebanon to Gaza.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gabriela Shalev on Friday urged Lebanon and the international community to prevent a small group of ships from trying to break the blockade of the Gaza strip, and warned that Tel Aviv has the right to utilize all necessary measures to stop the vessels, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
In a statement issued on Friday, Hezbollah said it will not take part in any Gaza-bound aid missions in order to deny Israel an excuse to attack the boats.
UNIFIL Director of Political and Civil Affairs Milos Strugar said that the UN force has not received any warning or request from Israel to prevent Lebanese ships from sailing to Gaza, As-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper reported. “The UNIFIL’s mission is confined to helping the Lebanese government at its request to prevent the transfer of unauthorized weapons to Lebanon by sea,” the paper quoted Strugar as saying. He added that the UN naval vessels’ activities were confined to this mission.
The Israeli daily Haaretz reported that since Wednesday, Israel has been exerting great diplomatic efforts on the international level to prevent the Lebanese government from launching the aid ships. It revealed that Israel had demanded from the Vatican to advise nuns against boarding the Mariam aid ship, seeing as tens of nuns have planned to be on the all-female ship. It also added that Israel had informed the U.N. and the Security Council that it intends to exercise its “right” in preventing the Lebanese ships from reaching Gaza.
Haaretz said that the Israeli navy and intelligence are preparing themselves for thwarting the arrival of the ships, with military sources stressing that ships coming from Lebanon and Iran will not be allowed to go near Gaza shores.
A fascist voice from Spain : "if Israel goes down, we all go down"
Jose Maria Aznar, the former Spanish Prime Minister, is reported to have called on western countries to protect and defend the Apartheid Israeli regime, despite the latter’s Nazi-like policies against the Palestinian people and other peoples of the Middle East.
Ahlul Bayt News Agency (JNN)
, Jose Maria Aznar, the former Spanish Prime Minister, is reported to have called on western countries to protect and defend the Apartheid Israeli regime, despite the latter’s Nazi-like policies against the Palestinian people and other peoples of the Middle East.
Aznar reportedly argued that “if Israel goes down, we all go down.”
“Israel is our first line of defense in a turbulent region that is constantly at risk of descending into chaos,”
Aznar, a key ally to former President Bush in the war against Islam, added that “to abandon Israel to its fate at this moment of all moments, would merely serve to illustrate how far we have sunk and how inexorable our decline now appears.”
Aznar’s argument seems strikingly similar to arguments made by the defenders of the South African apartheid regime before its ultimate downfall. Then we were told repeatedly that abandoning the apartheid regime would remove the last vestige of civilization and enlightenment in Africa.
Now, Aznar is shamelessly making the same argument, namely that the West has to maintain support for the Israeli policies of occupation, apartheid, and colonialism “because this is the right thing to do.”
Needless to say, such arguments can only come from either a manifestly ignorant or bluntly immoral person or both. Today, Israel is a virtual Nazi state that thinks, behaves and acts alike a Nazi state.
Israel is an occupying power that murders innocent people, practices ethnic cleansing and uses lies to cover up its crimes against humanity as the recent Goldstone report pointed out rather elaborately.
Israel is also an international outlaw, a state that lives by the sword and systematically violates international law.
In fact, there is no other state under the sun that is more in violation of international law, especially the international humanitarian law. Human rights organizations have issued numerous reports indicting Israel for violating the basic human rights of millions of people.
In short, Israel has committed more war crimes in recent history than any other state. These crimes range from raining white phosphorus on besieged civilians and dropping millions of cluster bomblets on southern Lebanon to slaughtering in cold blood aid activists carrying milk powder and other humanitarian materials to helpless civilians languishing under a Nazi-like siege in the Gaza Strip.
So, one is prompted to ask the following question: By what moral Criteria does Aznar urge the West to support polices and practices that any conscientious human being would reject and condemn outright? Indeed, are the European peoples under any moral obligations to support ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and the Israeli policy of starving and savaging Gazans just because Israel didn’t like the outcome of Palestinian elections?
I have no doubt that that Aznar can cite no moral justification to support his morbid call for supporting and backing a country that murders school children on their way to school and then claims that the murder is justified because “who knows? The victims would have grown up to become terrorists.”
Furthermore, I can safely claim that Aznar and like-minded Europeans who consume Israeli lies and disinformation around-the-clock know virtually nothing about reality in Israel. Had he known that Israel is close to becoming a full-fledge fascist state, whereby non-Jews, including people like Aznar himself, are viewed as inferior beings or even human animals, he probably would have had a different idea.
However, his ignorance, moral blindness, lack of honesty, and virulent Islamophobia are preventing him from seeing the truth.
Aznar seems to think that Israel represents western civilization in the heart of the Arab-Muslim world. However, this is either a big lie or a gigantic misunderstanding. We who live in Israel-Palestine know better.
In fact, Israel is a religio-ethno-centric entity upholding a decidedly racist doctrine based on Jewish, especially Ashkenazi supremacy. Even Jews of Middle Eastern origin, the true Semites, are discriminated against by the Ashkenazi establishment. In truth, there is more in common between Israel and Nazi Germany than between Israel and western Europe. I am saying this with the knowledge that fanatics like Aznar are not capable of bringing themselves to comprehending this fact which is readily acknowledge by many conscientious Jews.
Aznar argues that Israel’s right to exist shouldn’t be questioned as it was established by a United Nations resolution. Big deal!
Well, the UN never gave Israel a license to wage wars of aggression, occupy neighboring countries, savage and brutalize neighboring peoples, murder their children, men and women, destroy their homes and farms, steal their land, and expel millions to the four corners of the globe.
More to the point, a country that is based on ethnic cleansing, mass murder and mendacity loses its legitimacy irrespective of any UN resolutions. Israel loses its legitimacy because it is a gigantic war crime, a crime against humanity. Israel is a mass murderer, a land thief, and liar. As such, it has no legitimacy.
The ignorant man from Spain claims that Israel has deeply rooted democratic institutions. Well, these remarks reflect shocking ignorance. We all know that Israeli democracy is only for Jews just as democracy went to the Whites whereas apartheid went to the Blacks and other colored people in the defunct apartheid South Africa. And if one is not Jewish, his or her chances of obtaining equality before the law are nil. Just ask Ahmed Teibi what it means to be an Arab Knesset member in Israel?
Yes, Israeli leaders are elected, but so what? Nazi leaders such as Adolph Hitler were also elected.
Yes, Israel has laws, and the laws are applied, but so did Nazi Germany where every thing was done according to law as well.
In the final analysis, it is not the application and implementation of laws that counts, but rather the extent to which these laws are fair and just. Indeed, it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever whether unjust and racist laws are passed by democratic or undemocratic regimes since their ultimate effect is the same.
Then Aznar claims that Israel exists under constant threat of attack. This is a clear lie because Israel is militarily the strongest country in the Middle East. It is a nuclear power and a virtual huge American aircraft carrier. And at the top of all of this, Israel nearly completely controls the American government by virtue of controlling Congress, whose members have long transformed themselves into Israel’s most obsequious political whores at the American arena.
So, how could such a country be under constant attack?
Yes, the peoples of the Middle East are resisting Israeli Nazism just as the European peoples resisted the Nazi occupation of their countries. Resistance, in case Aznar doesn’t understand language, is not constant attacks.
A rape victim (a foreign occupation is an act of rape) has every right to repulse and resist the attacker’s onslaught. This is legitimate resistance, not “terror, or aggression, or constant attack.” Indeed, calling Palestinian or Lebanese resistance to Israeli Nazism “terror “is a serious abuse of language. It is the ultimate fornication with language.
In the final analysis, the ultimate threat to regional stability and world peace is not the victim’s resistance to aggression, but the aggressor’s aggression and Israel has always been and continues to be the real aggressor.
Finally, a west whose survival depends on embracing Israeli Nazism, e.g. embracing the Zionist settlement enterprise in the West Bank, is not really worth maintaining. A fascist west would be doomed to implosion, sooner or latter. In fact, one exaggerates little by saying that Israel has already brought about the west’s moral downfall. Very often a physical downfall follows a moral downfall.
So, my advice to the west is “don’t embrace Israeli Nazism. It would cost you your soul.”
Rigi’s execution in Iran: Why can’t Pakistan do this?
The Iranian authorities’ quick hearing and execution of Rigi also points to
another fact, i.e., the willingness and the resolve of Iran to track down and punish those beasts who kill in the name of religion or ethnicity. Now compare the Iranian response to terrorism with the Pakistani response to terrorism.
Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA.ir), Abdolmalek Rigi, head of Jundullah, a sectarian terrorist group (Iranian version of the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan) was today executed in Iran for his involvement in terrorist acts against the state and people of Iran.
He was hanged at dawn at Tehran’s Evin prison in the presence of the families of his victims.
While this news has been widely reported in the international press, I could not help but notice three facts which are either ignored or distorted by the international media:
1. Jundullah, a terrorist organisation, is being presented as Sunni militancy. Far from truth, the group, Jundullah, does not represent Sunnis. Not unlike other terrorist organisations in the region, Al Qaeda, Taliban and Sipah-e-Sahaba, Jundullah recruits extremist (not moderate) Deobandi and Wahhabi Muslims. However, it would be naive as well as misleading to categorise Jundullah as a Sunni militant organisation. Jundullah is a terrorist organisation, and must be labelled as such.
2. The Iranian authorities’ quick hearing and execution of Rigi also points to another fact, i.e., the willingness and the resolve of Iran to track down and punish those beasts who kill in the name of religion or ethnicity. Now compare the Iranian response to terrorism with the Pakistani response to terrorism.
Why can’t Pakistan convict any terrorists?
The difference is clear. Whereas in Iran, the state and its various institutions are firmly committed to protect the state and the nation from acts of terrorism, in Pakistan, certain influential institutions (ISI in particular) are in fact creator, mentor and protector of terrorist organisations (such as Taliban, Al Qaeda, Sipah-e-Sahaba and Lashkar-e-Taiba).
In Pakistan, Jundullah is known for carrying out acts of terrorism not only against Shias in Quetta and Karachi (in collaboration with the Sipah-e-Sahaba) but also against other civilian and military targets. Only yesterday, 19 June 2010, four Junduallh terrorists were able to flee from police custody in Karachi.
The outcome is visible. In Iran, acts of terrorism are few and far between, but in Pakistan, they are an everyday affair.
3. The international media also largely ignored the confession of Rigi in which he acknowledged that the holy father of the ISI, i.e., American CIA, was involved in abetting and facilitating Jundullah’s terrorism against Iran.
Here is the transcript of Rigi’s confession broadcasted live on Press TV on February 25:
’After Obama was elected, the Americans contacted us and they met me in Pakistan. They met us after clashes with my group around March 17 in (the southeastern city of) Zahedan, and he (the US operative) said that Americans had requested a meeting.
I said we didn’t have any time for a meeting and if we do help them they should promise to give us aid. They said they would cooperate with us and will give me military equipment, arms and machine guns. They also promised to give us a base along the border with Afghanistan next to Iran.
They asked to meet me and we said where should we meet you and he said in Dubai. We sent someone to Dubai and we told a person to ask a place for myself in Afghanistan from the area near the operations and they complied that they would sort out the problem for us and they will find Mr. Rigi a base and guarantee his own security in Afghanistan or in any of the countries adjacent to Iran so that he can carry on his operations.
They told me that in Kyrgyzstan they have a base called Manas near Bishkek, and that a high-ranking person was coming to meet me and that if such high-ranking people come to the United Arab Emirates, they may be observed by intelligence people but in a place like Bishkek this high-ranking American person could come and we could reach an agreement on making personal contacts. But after the last major operation we took part in, they said that they wanted to meet with us.
The Americans said Iran was going its own way and they said our problem at the present is Iran… not al-Qaeda and not the Taliban, but the main problem is Iran. We don’t have a military plan against Iran. Attacking Iran is very difficult for us (the US). The CIA is very particular about you and is prepared to do anything for you because our government has reached the conclusion that there was nothing Americans could do about Iran and only I could take care of the operations for them.
One of the CIA officers said that it was too difficult for us to attack Iran militarily, but we plan to give aid and support to all anti-Iran groups that have the capability to wage war and create difficulty for the Iranian (Islamic) system. They reached the conclusion that your organization has the power to create difficulties for the Islamic Republic and they are prepared to give you training and/or any assistance that you would require, in terms of telecommunications security and procedures as well as other support, the Americans said they would be willing to provide it at an extensive level.’

The Zionist regime changes Gaza siege policy
The Zionist regime measure in changing the policy of Gaza blockade under the
mounting international pressures is taking place while international organizations have called for full ending of Gaza siege.
According to Al-Jazeera TV Network, the Israeli security cabinet has announced a new policy on entry and exit of goods to Gaza Strip.
The new policy was announced weeks after increasing international pressure on the Zionist regime to put an end to Gaza blockade.
Al-Jazeera correspondent in a live show from Beitolmoqaddas said the Israeli earlier policy was vague but according to the information we have received, some items would be allowed to be entered to Gaza; most of which are food and hygiene items.
He added given that the Zionist regime has changed the Gaza policy it is expected that it announces the list of the banned items to Gaza, and basically any item which is not on this list is allowed to be entered to Gaza.
The Israeli measure in changing the Gaza policy is carrying out while international organizations such as Amnesty International and the United Nations have demanded an end to Gaza siege.
Hanieh: Qods is under the Zionists siege like Gaza
The legal Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Hanieh has said that
Beitolmoqaddas is under the Zionist regime siege like Gaza.
According to JNN, Hanieh in the meeting of the Palestinian legislative council added Beitolmoqqaddas is in the Zionist regime political and security blockade through development of settlements, Judaization of Islamic sites, exile of the Palestinians living in the city, and revocation of their IDs.
Ismail Hanieh regarded the Zionist regime’s decision to exile four Palestinian lawmakers living in Beitolmoqaddas in line with the regime’s efforts for Judaization of the city and stressed the formation of a Palestinian state with Beitolmoqaddas as its capital.
At the same time, the senior Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Ariqat said that Mahmoud Abbas, the head of Palestinian Self-Rule Authority, while denouncing the policy of destruction of Palestinian houses and the continued development of Zionist settlements, has officially called for cancellation of the Zionist regime’s decision to exile four Palestinian lawmakers.
The Zionist regime recently exiled four Palestinian lawmakers from Qods.
Crisis of the American Occupation of Iraq Monday, June 21, 2010
The formation of the National Alliance following merger of the State of Law
Coalition and the Iraqi National Alliance was the most important event in Iraq. Friday prayer leaders and religious authorities welcomed the new coalition and called on political currents to move toward the ideals of the Iraqi nation.
Head of al-Iraqiyya List, Ayayd Allawai last week met and discussed with the head of the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Assembly Seyyed Ammar Hakim.
At the same time, Seyyed Moqtada Sadr called for holding an all-parties’ meeting for a solution to the current stalemate on formation of the new government.
A member of State of Law Coalition led by Premier Nouri Maliki said Saudi Arabia is meddling in the Iraqi political trend.
The Zionist regime plot for continuing occupation of Iraq shows the regime’s conspiracies against Iraq.
A new coalition called the National Alliance consisting of State of Law Coalition and Iraqi National Alliance came into existence officially. The issue was officially announced in a letter to the Sunni speaker of the new parliament Hassan al-Alawi as well as the Iraqi Federal Court. The biggest parliamentary fraction consisting of the Shi’ite Muslim Parties’ coalition was established with the formation of National Allaince. At present, the State of Law Coalition and the Iraqi National Alliance have 159 seats together in the parliament and are considered the biggest parliamentary bloc. Earlier, the Kurdish Coalition had said that in case of merger of the State of Law and the National Alliance, it would join them. Now with the formation of National Accord Coalition, the way has been paved for the Kurds to join the new coalition. If the Kurds’ Coalition joins the new National Alliance, they will have overwhelming majority in the parliament. This can speed up the trend of forming the new government.
At present, there is a consensus between the Shi’ite Muslims and Kurdish coalitions over continuation of Jalal Talebani’s presidency. The Shi’ite Muslim Coalition is busy in consultations to introduce the candidate for the premier’s post. So far, Nuri Maliki, Ibrahim Jafari and Adel Abdul-Mahdi have been brought up as candidates for the premier’s post. Leaders of State of Law and Iraqi National Alliance have expressed hope that establishment of the National Alliance can speed up the trend of reaching consensus on the new premier. The first session of the new parliament led by Hassan al-Alawi – the eldest parliament lawmaker of the al-Iraqiyya List – is due to be held on Monday June 14. The parliament should introduce president and prime minister immediately after the new session is held.
A member of the State of Law Coalition led by Premier Nouri Maliki criticized Saudi Arabia’s meddling in Iraqi domestic affairs. Adnan as-Seraj said Saudi Arabia was trying to obstruct formation of the coalition among Shi’ite Muslim. He said that the new coalition between the State of Law and the Iraqi National Alliance now closes the way for Riyadh’s meddling. Saudi Arabia is spending huge amounts of money to back secular and marginal currents in order to obstruct formation of the national reconciliation government. Evidence shows that Saudi officials in a move in line with the United States has tried to find a place in the country’s political scene through financing terrorist groups in Iraq. No doubt that the formation of the National Alliance has foiled their plots.
The Former Zionist Internal Security Minister said Iraqi oil should flow toward Israel from the northern Kirkuk fields. According to Jerusalem Post, Avi Dichter in a speech in the Israeli Security Research Center said Iraqi isolation is on the agenda of the Zionist regime. Israel has focused on Iraq since the American occupation of the country in 2003. Israeli merchants and businessmen have entered Iraq with non-Israeli passports and have invested in the country. They are active especially in northern Iraq and the Kurdistan area. Since 2003, tens of Israeli companies with non-Israeli names have invested in agriculture, technical, health, oil and developmental fields. In view of these facts, the Zionist regime wants the US occupation of Iraq to be continued so that it could exploit the lucrative market of that country. But the Zionists have failed because evidence shows that at present one of the priorities among Iraqi political groups especially Shi’ite Muslims and Kurd groups is to boost national unity.
Saudi authorities arrested a human rights activist defending Shia Muslims rights
Saudi security sources arrested a human rights activist for criticizing the
Saudi Wahhabi government attacks on Shia Muslim citizens.
Saudi security sources arrested a human rights activist for criticizing the Saudi Wahhabi government attacks on Shia Muslim citizens.
Human Rights Watch ordered Saudi King immediately release a human rights activist who detained illegally just because of his criticizing article against Saudi Wahhabis who always use pressure against Ahl ul Bayt followers. The charges against the activist, Shaikh Mikhlif bin Dahham al-Shammari, appear to violate his right to free expression, Human Rights Watch said.
Arresting officers told al-Shammari they were acting on the orders of Prince Muhammad bin Fahd bin Abd al-‘Aziz, the governor of the Eastern Province, in response to articles al-Shammari had written and published recently on several websites, blocked in Saudi Arabia, that criticized statements of clerics attacking Shia Muslims.
“Arresting Mikhlif al-Shammari’s simply for opinions he expressed peacefully shows the limited reach of King Abdullah’s commitment so far, five years into his reign, to protect human rights,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.
Earlier, on May 15, Khobar police arrested al-Shammari over the articles he had written criticizing anti-Shia religious views. Al-Shammari told Human Rights Watch at the time that he refused to answer questions put to him by the police since King Abdullah had ordered that cases regarding publications fall within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Information and Culture, not the police and regular courts. The police released him after six hours based on a personal bail guarantee, but the police changed the description of his case from one concerning his articles to one of “creating public attention against corruption,” al-Shammari told Human Rights Watch.
He was arrested again on the evening of June 15, while he was dining at the home of an acquaintance in Jubail, 80 kilometers north of his home in Khobar. Officers of the Criminal Investigation Department took him to the Khobar police station, where they placed him in a holding cell overnight with 10 other persons. Al-Shammari was able to communicate briefly with his family and Human Rights Watch. On June 16, he began a hunger strike to protest his arbitrary detention. His arrest was the result of the earlier investigation into his articles, al-Shammari told Human Rights Watch, but he has not been charged or brought before a prosecutor.
In one of the articles in question, al-Shammari responded to remarks of Muhammad al-‘Arifi, a controversial government-salaried imam of the Buradi mosque in Riyadh. During a sermon on January 1, al-‘Arifi had described Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, whom many Saudi and other Shia Muslims consider their highest religious authority, as an “obscene, irreligious atheist.” Al-Shammari asked how Sunnis would feel if a Shia had called al-‘Arifi an “obscene, irreligious, atheist Wahhabi in Najd.”
Since December 2009, al-Shammari has published 18 articles on public interest and human rights issues, including Sunni-Shia relations.

Al-Sakhen chased him by his car . Later he knew that the stranger was a security agent.
Saudi Security Forces charged al-Sakhen of chasing the security agent and pulling a gun out of him .
It is not known where he is being held and al-Sakhen’s family tried repeatedly to have information about him but the police have provided no reason for his arrest.
For over four months , al-Sakhen has been denied access to his lawyer, members of his family and medical treatment, and the opportunity to challenge the legality of his detention.
Iran asks for devising plan for global nuclear disarmament
Islamic Republic of Iran calling on Disarmament Conference to begin serious
disarmament talks, asked for devising a chronological plan for total global nuclear disarmament.
According to IRIB, Iran’s Ambassador and permanent representative Mohammad-Reza Sajjadi made the comment at Geneva Disarmament Conference on June 15th.
He added, “The nuclear arsenals of certain states pose the greatest threats against the world peace and security today.”
Sajjadi said, “It is a pity that two decades after the end to the Cold War, its malicious heritage is still exerting its weigh against the international community. Nuclear weapons are sill stockpiled at the arsenals of a limited number of states, and the military doctrines on their usage keep getting updated.”
He criticized the usage of nuclear weapons, particularly against the countries that do not possess them, arguing, “The world cannot wait for good to see whether the countries that possess the nuclear weapons are willing to annihilate them, or not; therefore, it is necessary for the international community to adopt serious and immediate measures in the field.”
Amnesty International Urges an End to Gaza Siege
The Amnesty International has referred to the Zionist regime’s new deceptive move to distract the attention of world public opinion, and has underlined that Israel should completely lift the siege of Gaza, because this siege violates international rules and regulations.
According to jnn
, the Amnesty International noted that given the announcement of Zionist regime’s Cabinet about ease of Gaza siege, it is perfectly clear that the usurper state of Israel has no intention of lifting the siege of Gaza and ending the collective punishment of the Palestinian population of this impoverished enclave.
Based on the statement issued by Amnesty International, Israel only allows the entry of a few goods to this coastal region, while the Zionist regime still obstructs the entry of many goods to this coastal sliver.
Many peace activists and humanitarian organizations have called for the lift of siege of Gaza.
