In Somalia, The Children Joined Forces In the Jihad Arena

.
Husein Abdi, 13, felt proud that he could participate in the jihad in Somalia, it had been two years that he was in the military training camp of the Hizbul Islam group, one of the jihad groups that is allied to the Al-Shabaab.

"I am confident that to die at a young age is the best death, there is no age limit to become the forces of Allah," he said in a street of Mogadishu.

"This is what my friends and I freely chose, there was no compulsion and I am too happy to become what I am now," he added while carrying an Ak-47 in his hands which looked bigger than his body.

The influx of young Mujahids into the jihad groups in Somalia is sometime made as a weapon by the enemies by saying that the “militant” organizations do not know the rules by recruiting young boys as their forces.

"Making the children as soldiers is not a new phenomenon in Somalia, however what appeared to be new is the systematic recruitment which is expansive in all parts of the country," one of the members of the UNICEF in Somalia, Isabella Castrogiovanni said.

"They look active and free to do campaigns of recruiting children," she continued.

Mohammed Abdulkadir Mursal, 15, one of the young soldiers, his brother had preceded him (to die) during a battle and he said that he must die while holding his weapons.

"I know it is not an ordinary job for the children, but I don’t care what they say because I am the one who decide the choice I took in this life that I live and I will die in this path," Mursal said.

Husein Abdi left his school in 2007, sometimes after the Ethiopian forces invaded Somalia. He joined the Hizbul Islam in Mogadishu after his uncle died in a battle against the Ethiopian forces.

"The cursed Ethiopian forces killed my uncle and I ordered my family (the females) to leave Mogadishu. From then on, I began to pick up weapons to fight the invader forces and their accomplices," Abdi said enthusiastically.

"There are a lot of foreign forces spreading out in our country here," Abdi said, "including the forces of the African Union from Burundi and Uganda."

"This is the reason why we are still fighting. It’s for the sake of defending our religion. We want the implementation of the pure Islamic Shari’ah in this country and we are ready to suffer and sacrifice for its implementation," he continued.

According to Husein Abdi, becoming a soldier at a young age is not a bad action as what had been accused by the enemies. "Why not? After all what had happened, I am confident that this is not a crime."

According to the UN, recruiting young soldiers under the age of 15 is a war crime. They also accused that the children joined forces with the armed groups because of economical motives.

"We do not wish for any payment from what we are doing, however when we started to fight, the money would start to flow in to fulfill our needs," another young soldier objected the accusation made by the international "volunteers".

Dead Kafir Forces Increasing In Afghanistan

.
BAGRAM – Medical personnels in the US hospital in Bagram, Afghanistan said that there have been a drastic increase in the number of soldiers who had become victims in the battle and it’s predicted that the number would keep on rising in the coming few days.

The medical staffs of this hospital which is situated in the North of Kabul said that they were at a loss of what to do by the overflowing of the incoming killed and wounded victims from the international combat forces into the hospital.

Those reports came out in conjunction with the situations which had worsened in a number of provinces in the South and East of Afghanistan during the last few months, caused by the rising resistance and attacks by the Mujahideen, which continually intensified.

The kafir forces led by the US said that their sides had lost control in some districts along Afghanistan, including the districts which bordered with Pakistan.

The sources stated that 2009 would become the most dreadful year for the kafir international battle forces compared to the previous years, since the US began invading Afghanistan in the year 2001.

The US General, David Petraeus said that the forces which was concentrating in Afghanistan, must confront, whether they want it or not, an arena which is extremely difficult in their fight against the Taliban Mujahideen.

So far, the international battle forces have to continually receive defeats as can be told by the huge number of their personnels who have become victims.

Scientists: The Leaves Fall… Not An Ordinary Event

.
In a glance, the falling of the leaves from the trees looks like an ordinary natural event. However, upon closer inspections it is not as such for the scientists, who earnestly scrutinize this phenomenon which is termed as “abscission”.

Abscission is a process undertaken by the plants in order to detach and ‘dispose’ their organs like the leaves, flower petals, flowers, and fruits which are no longer needed or have been infected by diseases.

The falling of the plant organs evidently involves very complex genetic information. The researchers at the University of Missouri (MU) have uncovered the control in the shedding arrangement of the plant organs from the Arabidopsis Thaliana species, which is usually used as an experimental subject.

Not An Ordinary Event

This field is very attention-grabbing for the fruit and floral agricultural industry. This is due to the businessmen in this field who are very depending on the nutritional values, stimulating factors or the shedding preventer of the plant organs which have high business values, one of them is for the purpose of looking after the quality of the fruits. This was presented by the luminary journal website Physorg.com, 22 September 2008.

According to John Walker, head of the MU Interdisciplinary Plant Group in the Christopher S. Bond Life Sciences Center, plants shed their organs because of some reasons. Old leaves for example, are shed in order to assist the repeat cycle of the food nutrients, while the fruits that have already ripened deciduously and fallen down are for the purpose of assisting the seed propagation.

Also, parts of the flowers that have been infected by diseases are purposely dropped and discarded by the plants. It is done in order to prevent the spread of the diseases.

A Lot More Are Unknown

However, there are still other aspects about the shedding of the plant organs that are still not uncovered by the scientists. They still do not understand why Arabidopsis Thaliana shed its flowers after those flowers mature.

The parts of the flowers of the Arabidopsis Thaliana plant do not require a big space, that its shedding does not show any obvious purpose. Strangely, the genes that trigger this shedding have been in the plant for a long time, Walker said.

"The process of the shedding is a phenomenon that is yet to be fully discovered," Walker, who is also professor in the biology field in MU's College of Arts and Science.

The Knowledge Of Allah Is All-Encompassing

Thus, the shedding of the leaves, flowers, fruits and other parts of the plants is in fact not an ordinary event or co-incidence alone. It is a big incident which is purposely created by Allah, which involves a very delicate and complex arrangement of the plant’s genes.

Without this shedding, there is no repeat cycle of the food nutrients, there is no dissemination of the seeds and there is no prevention of the disease infection. If all these processes are stopped, plants will be destroyed in the end. Eventually, human beings who are extremely relying on the existence of plants are sure to suffer and disappear from the surface of the earth.

The statement by the professor about the shedding of the floral part of the Arabidopsis Thaliana which does not seem to have any obvious benefit, only shows the yet incapability of the scientists to understand a complete understanding about this phenomenon. This is also an indication of the limitation of the human knowledge and the All-encompassing Knowledge of Allah.

Allah, He is the Creator of everything, no matter how minute, with a clear intention and purpose, for the sake of goodness for the entire world and its contents, including human beings. He is the One Who created every matter in this world, along with the events, in a perfect and balanced way according to the Majestic decree and knowledge of Allah which had already been written in the Lauh Mahfuzh. It includes the creation of the event where the plants shed their organs such as the leaves and the seeds, which is a form of grace from Allah the Most Merciful to human beings.

“With Him are the keys of the unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (Lauh Mahfuzh).” (QS. 6:59).

Kato Is Well And kicking, MILF Says

.
For 12 months since July last year he was declared a fugitive by the Philippine government and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), MILF commander Sheikh Ameril Ombra Kato is well and kicking and ever-ready to confront state forces sent to kill him at any given notice.

He is always ready to do combat with oppressive government forces, whose only forte is to burn houses, terrorize civilians, loot everything valuable, and destroy everything of value.

This was the statement of one senior member of the MILF General Staff, who requested anonymity, correcting earlier reports from the military and foreign wire services that elusive MILF commander is already dead or is very ill.

He disclosed that Kato is very healthy and occasionally goes to the frontline to personally direct his men in fighting the occupation forces from neo-colonial Manila.

However, he clarified that Kato does not stay in one place and has dispensed with the use of cell phone after he discovered that it is a tracking device.

Kato, who heads the 105th Base Command of the MILF, and his men are using the traditional courier system of communication, which is the safest way of sending messages especially confidential ones.

Kato, who carries a P10 million reward on his head, dead or alive, was a graduate of one of the Islamic universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Most of the top commanders of this base command were educated in colleges and universities in the Middle East.

Also carrying a P10 million bounty in his head is Commander Abdullah “Bravo” Macapaar in Lanao del Norte, while Commander Alim Pangalian Solaiman has a P5 million price on his head.

All three commanders remained unscathed since the government launched military offensives against them, which is on its twelve months.

All three commanders remained defiant as ever.

AFP Suffer Casualties In Firefight With MILF In Maguindanao

.
A dozen plus soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) were killed and wounded in fierce battle with the freedom fighters of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces – Moro Islamic Liberation Front (BIAF-MILF) in Mamasapano, Maguindanao yesterday.

Heavy exchanged of gunfire erupted when patrolling AFP soldiers entangled with MILF guerillas at Sitio Bulod, Barangay Bialong, Mamasapano at quarter passed 2pm. Firefight balzed up in less than an hour.

Theatres of war suddenly escalated to Barangays Dugengen, Linantangan, Tukanalipao in Mamasapano and Nabundan, Shariff Aguak with Sitio Mungkas, Barangay Malingao as center of gravitational encounter.

Fierce clashes in these areas were already on second consecutive day triggered by relentless artillery and ground assault by the AFP troops, which had been insisting farce claims of having cleared the areas of MILF fighters.

Artilleries and air assets were heavily used by AFP in the brewing clashes that subsided late in the evening.

A text report to Luwaran. Net/Com said AFP soldiers were surrounded and killed by MILF fighters at Mungkas, saying “we surrounded and killed the soldiers (government) in Mungkas but pray for our brothers Mujahideen because the situation is very tough due to heavy artillery strikes and aerial bombing by the AFP,” text message translated from local dialect.

Scores of AFP troops were also pursued by MILF troops toward river banks, said text report, adding that some have yet to get out of the encounter areas.

Casualties on AFP were inflicted in the encounters at Bialong and Mungkas, report added. No casualty on the side of the MILF.

Meanwhile, unverified report said two grenades thrown by still unidentified perpetrators blasted last night around 7pm at the Plaza of Maasim, Saranggani that resulted to three killed on the spot and undetermined number of wounded. Accordingly, Maasim was celebrating a local festival yesterday.

MILF Shoots Down second Air Spy Vehicle In Maguindanao

The freedom fighters (mujahideen) of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) had shot down another spy vehicle in Muti, Guindolongan, Maguindanao on June 9, a belated report reaching luwaran.com/net today.

The report described the downed spy vehicle as a mini-helicopter equipped with sensors and cameras. At the time of downing, the air vehicle was hovering low while the fighting was in progress, obviously sending back tactical data to the command headquarters of the 6th Infantry Division in Awang in Datu Odin Sinsuat town in Maguindanao where a sophisticated communication or tracking facilities are in place.

The downed vehicle had no wings but rotors or rotating airfoils that rotate horizontally to give lift or vertically to help control it. It has Chinese or Japanese markings, indicating that the vehicle or some of its parts were supplied by or bought from foreign companies or governments.

Commander Wahid Tundok reportedly ordered one his sharpshooters to zero in on the pestering air vehicle. And with one shot, it crashed down in a hillside. It was however retrieved later by his men with body and parts largely intact.

This was the second spy vehicle shot down by MILF mujahideen. The first was a spy plane or drone, which was downed on November 1, 2008. Both the drone and mini-helicopter were shot down in almost the same spot in said town.

The engine of the drone was made by Kubota Company of Japan and the camera had a marking showing it was of Australian made.

Almost immediately, the two vehicles, after photographing them, were dismantled and destroyed.


However, report said that one Army colonel in Mindanao was trying to negotiate for the return of the downed drone in exchange for P400,000 but the MILF decided instead to destroy it and threw into the Rio Grande de Mindanao.

No One Is Protecting Us!

.
Nahla Ahmed always feel eerie whenever she saw the Jewish Israelis walking past.

This Palestinian mother of 4 spent most of her times leaning against the wall of her house, located in the Nablus area, West Bank.

"We have to install iron grills on our windows after the first attack that occurred at 2 in the morning three years ago," Nahla Ahmed told the AFP, Thursday 11th June.

"Now they come here every week."

That was a piece of the story from a mother about the savagery of the Israeli Zionist forces which always haunts her life. Especially that her house is located on a hill which directly face the houses of the Yitzhar Jewish resettlers which were built on a hill in front of the Palestinian settlements. Her simple house and the houses of the other Palestinians always became targets by the hard line Jewish resettlers.

"They like to make us frightened, make us leave, until all of us are out of here," Nahla’s husband, Djamal said.

"They took (stole) our lands piece by piece, all without the legal process, and for us there is security, no one is protecting us."

The Yitzhar Jewish resettlers are really famous for being radical and they are always provoking the lives of the Palestinian Muslims.

Those Jewish resettlers always used violence in disturbing the Palestinian Muslims, the legitimate owners of the lands in Palestine. They had caused rampage a few times by throwing stones, cutting down olive trees and burnt them along the roads. Those were parts of the savagery of the Zionist Jews who threw threats on the Palestinian Muslims and this seldom come to the attention of the world, even to the so-called leaders of the Muslim countries.

The story of Nahla Ahmed is just one of the many stories suffered by the people of Palestine who are occupied in their own homeland. Liberty for them is like a very dear price that they have to pay in their lifetimes.

Ahmadinejad Buries Obama's Ambition, The Khilafah Is More Than That: It Buries All Crap Civilizations!

.

It appeared that the result of the Iranian presidential election had become a 'hard smack' for the American President, Barack Obama. The English newspaper, "Sunday Times" in its Sunday (14/6) editorial, reported that the victory of Mahmud Ahmadinejad would become a new complexity over the Middle East, where the development is not easy to predict, to the extent that it had become a graveyard for the ambitions of the American president who wished to look for solutions for their problems.

The newspaper added that the outcome of the Iranian election campaign had made the job of Obama more difficult. In this regard, the newspaper said: "When Obama had to work hard in a different manner with the Islamic world, then he must admit that the silk gloves he's wearing also apparently have irons inside them."

He concluded that the possible explanation for the failure of the observers in anticipating the victory of Ahmadinejad was the excessive popularity depiction given on the reformist candidate, Mir Husein Mousavi, or the systematic abuse of the voting procedures.

Ahmadinejad, on Saturday, was announced as the decisive winner of an Iran President Election that it had ignited unrest by the supporters of the opposition and complaints from his oppositions that there was fraud in the campaign.

Thousands of Mousavi's supporters came down into the streets of Teheran while screaming "Down With The Dictator!" after the final result showed that Ahmadinejad won almost 63 percent of the vote.

Mousavi, the modearte ex-Prime Minister, who in the morning declared the presence of fraud and reminded that the result of the vote counts could lead to “tyranny”.

The result of this Iran election showed the vote earned by, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: 62.6%, Mir Hossein Mousavi: 33.8%, Mohsen Rezai: 1.7%, ehdi Karroubi: 0.9%, with participation: 85%.

Ahmadinejad delivered a speech in front of hundreds of thousands of his supporters in this victory celebration, Sunday 14/06/09. In his victory speech, the president of Iran told the West, "If the hands are extended to the people of Iran, in (the spirit) of justice and feelings of respect, we will receive them." He stated that the election in Iran is the most healthy in the world.

Iran is one of the nations which is considered as a threat by America. However, the hard attitude of Ahamdinejad towards America have not shown the courage and authority of Iran as one of the Muslim nations to defend and liberate the Muslims from the grips of the Western invasion. The proof; the military forces of Iran have not had the courage to liberate Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan from the grip of the American invaders, as well as the liberation of Palestine from the grip of the Israeli invaders. The Muslims have not shown any authority and honour of the ummah in confronting the various forms of Western invasion.

This shows further that the Muslims only need a real political potency, ie. the Khilafah Rashidah. Thus, with this institution, all potentials owned by the ummah will be deployed to make the light of Islam shine onto the world and bury all civilizations where their corruptions and failure had been proven. This is the reason why the Khilafah becomes a serious threat for the Western civilization. [syabab.com]

Islamicthinker New York Protested The Salute To Israel Parade 2009

.


A small group of Muslim youths in New York were very courageous that they publicly protested the Salute to Israel Parade 2009, the black and white flag of Tawheed were waved around..... An Orthodox Anti Zionist Jew (Neutri Karta) even assisted and showed support in rejecting the Salute to Israel Parade.

Battle Of Mu’tah: Great Shaheed Stories

.
“If Muhammad is really a Prophet,” the Jewish leader said to Zaid ibn Haritsah, “You would never return!” Those words were swiftly directed to Zaid on the day approaching his departure, leading his forces to Mu’tah. At that time, Rasulullah SAW told the Commander and his forces, “If Zaid becomes Shaheed, then Ja’far ibn Abi Thalib will lead his forces. If Ja’far falls, then ‘Abdullah ibn Rawahah will carry the flag.”

“Verily, in the past,” those Jews said, “When the Prophets of the Bani Israel mentioned the name of a hundred people as the commanders, it was ensured that they would all fall and never come back. Therefore, if Muhammad is truly a Prophet, you O Zaid would surely die in this battle!” What did Zaid answer? Ibnu Katsir in his Al Bidayah wan Nihayah recorded it, “Not even a drop of doubt in me that he is a Prophet. And his words are the truth and nothing but the truth endorsed from Heaven up high!”

Then, the 3000 forces departed, accompanied by zealous poetic verses from the third commander, ‘Abdullah ibn Rawahah. As for him, he cried in the beginning. Was it because of his fear of death as was hinted by the Jews? “No!”, he asserted. He then read verse 71 from the Surah Maryam.

“Not one of you but will pass over it (hell): this is, with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished.” [Qur’an 19:71]

“I don’t know how to get out from that hell after coming to it,” ‘Abdullah said. His companions then responded, “May Allah always accompanies you and return you to us in health and peace!” Reacting to that do’a, he then hummed..

But for me, I begged for forgiveness from Ar Rahman
And the violent blow beat the ocean’s foam
Or a deadly strike from the thirsty hand
Thrusting the spear, piercing the skin into the chest
Till the people said when passing by my grave
This is the warrior who obeyed the Lord

‘Abdullah ibn Rawahah declared the high ambition in his poem. And when the expedition reached Ma’an, they heard that Heraclius, the Roman Emperor himself led 100,000 forces which later was combined with the forces of Lakham, Judzam, Qain, Bahra’ and Baliy which were led by Malik ibn Zafilah until they overall numbered to 200,000 fully armed combatants. How would it be, when the strength of the forces from Madinah only equaled to 3000 personnels? A ratio of one to seventy?!

“Let’s write a letter to Rasulullah SAW ,” someone suggested. “We’ll inform him about the total number of our enemies. It might be that he would send additional forces. Or he would give us an order. Then we would obey that order.”

There were people who nodded their heads. But a majority of them turned their heads towards the commanders. Zaid ibn Haritsah and Ja’far ibn Abi Thalib were silenced. Zaid, as usual, was naturally a man without much word. While Ja’far, who had just arrived in Madinah from his hijrah in Habshah felt that it was not his right to talk yet. They then looked at ‘Abdullah ibn Rawahah, the poet of the Ansar. In the minds of Zaid and Ja’far, ‘Abdullah might think of some ideas because a majority of the forces was made up of the people of Ansar, so let ‘Abdullah be the one to talk. His spoken words were eloquent, his speech was clear and the tone of his voice was reverberating.

“My brothers,” ‘Abdullah said later, “Verily, whatever this is that you don’t like is precisely the goal and ambition of our departure. Don’t you all yearn for becoming Shaheed? When we are fighting the enemies, we are not depending on our weapons, strength or how big our number is. When we fight them, we only depend on this religion, by which Allah honor us with. Therefore, let’s advance with the blessings of Allah! We will certainly attain either one of the two goodness; victory or shaheed!!”

Then, everyone shouted the takbeer..

Take This O Abu Sulaiman!

This first clash of civilizations between Madinah and Rome was coloured by the great stories of the passing away of the commanders. Zaid ibn Haritsah charged into the midst of the enemy forces carrying the flag of Rasulullah until dozens of spears intercepted his body, asking him to stop. And his soul was instantly greeted by the divan of paradise. Ja’far reached to grab the flag, holding it with the right hand until his hand was cut off, preceding him to leave for paradise and become a wing in green colour which he soon used to fly wherever he likes. He then held the flag with his left hand, and that hand was also cut off. Then, he caught and embraced the flag with what remained of his arms and held it close to his breast, until a Roman soldier cut apart his body into halves. Thus, Ja’far's soul straight away flew off to heaven. The poetic verse that resonated from his lips approaching his shaheed could still be heard to these days.

Oo how beautiful Paradise is, and how much closer it is getting

Fragrant scent, cool and fresh is its drinks

Abdullah bin Umar RA said that after Ja’far dead body was lifted to be carried, they found ninety wounds on his face. After Ja'far bin Abi Thalib became shaheed, the people started to call for Abdullah ibn Rawahah who at that moment was located in some corner with a number of Muslim fighters. They were in the midst of sharing and eating a slice of meat as it had already been three days since they hadn’t eaten anything. Hearing his name being called, he then threw away the remaining meat and said, rebuking himself:

"Hey look, Ja'far has become shaheed, while you are still busy with the world."

Then he immediately charged forward and took the flag of the Muslims. But his finger was severely cut and smeared with blood, dangling on his hand almost cut off. He then stepped on it with his own foot and pulled his hand hardly until it was finally separated. He then threw away that finger and charged back into the midst of the battle. In a difficult and arduous situation like this, bursts of doubt still reigned in his heart due to the lacking of spirit and strength to continue the fight.

“If you follow both of the commanders,” ‘Abdullah mumbled, “You would receive guidance.” Should this battle be sustained while the victims who had fallen on the Muslim side kept on mounting? Only in a few seconds, two of his commanders had fulfilled their vow to Allah to defend His religion. Oh, he was so unsure. Wouldn’t this be wasted? But no. He was already close to his ambition. These forces belonged to Allah, only to Him he would leave it if it was really his time to follow the fate of his companions. Therefore, he reminded himself about his ambition. His poetic verses were shouted out loud. Let the soul inside him reflect on it. Let every creature become the witness.

Why do I see you disliking the paradise..

Have you not been waiting for it in your ambition?

Are you no more than just a ‘nuthfah’ that dropped?

He then attained his highest ambition. ‘Abdullah ibn Rawahah the poet, beloved by Allah and His Rasul became shaheed. Tsabit ibn Aqram Al Ajlani grabbed the flag from the embrace of ‘Abdullah, and he ran towards someone who was busy beating the enemies from the back of his horse. “Take this Abu Sulaiman!!!”, he screamed.

“No!”, the called one replied. “Not me. You participated in the battle of Badr, you are more qualified!”

“By Allah, take this Abu Sulaiman!! I did not take it except to be given to you!!”

And the one called Abu Sulaiman took the flag without further ado. It was at that same time that from the mimbar of Masjid Nabawi in Madinah, the Prophet with tears flowing from his eyes, narrated about the gallantry of the three commanders that he had dispatched. After his tears were a bit eased, he SAW said, “Then, the flag was taken by one of the swords amongst the swords of Allah. And Allah gave victory through him.”

That sword of Allah was intimately called Abu Sulaiman. His original name: Khalid ibn Al Walid.

MILF to AFP: Stop Your Wild Claims On Combat Victories

.
A sub-commander of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) 105th Base Command under Sheikh Ameril Ombra Kato has advised Lt. Col. Jonathan Ponce, spokesman of the 6th Infantry Division of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to stop making wild claims which are based solely on concoctions, hearsays and fantasies.

The commander, who refused to be identified during an interview with www.luwaran.com reporter, described Ponce’s claim as a menu for seeking the pleasure of the “lords” in Manila and to seek early promotion in ranks.

He said how could the AFP capture camps of the MILF when we do not have camps since 2000 when then president (and now deposed) Joseph Estrada launched all-out war against the MILF.

He accused the AFP of describing those groups of houses, mostly makeshifts as camp, in order to cover up their crime of burning civilian houses after looting them of all valuables.

He also disputed Jonathan’s claim that the MILF suffered 35 killed and as many wounded, saying this is another invention of a dirty mind intended to mislead people and the international community that the MILF is losing the government winning.

“Can you imagine he is claiming that the MILF is burning the houses of civilians who are their relatives or supporters?” the sub-commander asked.

“God willing! we cannot lose this war,” he said in complete ease, stressing that, "we are not like the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, who are extremist nationalists and who got the ire of the international community when they resorted to terrorism."

“Our tactics are very fluid,” he said, "and we can hit the enemy every time we want."

He said if the AFP is winning, it is on the destruction of the civilians by burning their houses (2,000 were already burned in Maguindanao by state forces), indiscriminate shelling, bombing, and strafing, summary executions, arrests, and lootings.

Ponce said intense air assaults backed by artillery fire on the ground led to the capture of the MILF camps near the town of Guindulungan in Maguindanao province on Sunday.

Ponce, though, said no other details of the captured camps could be made available.

He said the number of dead rebels also rose to 35, with 28 wounded, while government forces suffered five wounded in action.

Military reports from the field said the bodies of slain rebels were retrieved from shallow graves dug by the MILF.

MILF Laughs Off 'Poising Creek' Accusation

"What the soldiers do not know is that even creeks and rivers are resisting their occupation of our remaining lands."

This was the statement of Khaled Musa, deputy chairman of the MILF committee on information, in response to the accusation by spokesman of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) that MILF mujahideen poisoned a creek in the hinterland of the municipality of Guindolongan, Maguindanao that downed ten Army soldiers and sent them to hospital.

"The rivers and creeks are resisting the savage invaders who burned all that are combustible, ate or drank those can be chewed or gulped including poisonous water, and killed or shot all that move."

He said the MILF does not need to poison creeks and rivers, saying there are several of those in the mountains in Guindolongan but the MILF knows and the soldiers do not know.

He clarified that the MILF does not resort to poisoning as means of resistance, saying it is against humanity and against the principle of Islam.

Lt. Col. Romeo Brawner, public affairs chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), said the soldiers experienced nausea and vomiting after drinking from a creek in Guindolungan town in Maguindanao province.

Guindulungan has been the site of several fierce battles between soldiers and the MILF over the past few days.

Brawner said after the military allegedly seized the camp, the rebels withdrew upstream near a creek where the people in the area get water and while withdrawing upstream, they poured poison in the water where they knew the soldiers will get water to drink.

“Many informants reported to us that they personally witnessed the introduction of the chemicals in the water," he said, which drew in immediate comment from Musa.

Musa commented that how could the soldiers have informants when all the civilians in Barangay Ahan, Guindolungan fled before the Army arrived.

Ahad is predominantly occupied by the T'durays, an indigenous tribe in Maguindanao.

Meanwhile, at least three Army soldiers were killed and several others wounded when a remote controlled landmine exploded Tuesday, June 9, near Talayan town.

The convoy of military trucks and other vehicles were passing by when the roadside bomb exploded.

The military accused the MILF as behind the blast, but the latter has not denied the accusation.

A senior officer of the MILF General Staff, who refused to be identified, said the MILF is not restrained to use landmines that are not victim-initiated when it signed the Deed of Commitments with both the Geneva Call and the Philippine Campaign to Ban Landmines.

"The AFP is using all the firepower in its arsenal including powerful bombs and why should we be restrained to use even a less powerful weapon," he asked.

Official Number Of American Deaths In Iraq And Afghanistan Reached 5000

.
Already 6 aggressor American soldiers had been killed in a report for this early June during their invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

This number completed the total number of American soldiers’ death to become more than 5,000 deaths in the land of jihad of Iraq and Afghanistan. According to the data by casualties.org the total number covered the 4,308 soldiers who died in Iraq and 695 soldiers who died in Afghanistan.

However, according to the official report by the American military, the number of dead soldiers only reached 4,996. The total number of casualties released by the military is normally much lower than the accounts reported by the mass media.

This number of death included those who were killed in the battle and non-battle conditions. In some cases, the death of those wounded soldiers after some months or years later, were not reported. Of course, this number is incomparable to the total number of Iraqi civilians killed by the Americans which already reached hundreds of thousands.

The American aggressors themselves through their president, Barrack Obama had requested the congress to increase the budgets amounting to 84.3 million dollars in order to prolong their invasions in the land of Iraq and Afghanistan. However, after some discussions, the amount jumped up to 96.7 million dollars, while the amount agreed by the senate was only 91.3 million dollars.

Recruitment Of Candidates For The Shaheed Bombings Acts Still Carried Out By The Taliban

.
In the midst of the unceasing attacks by the Pakistani military in the regions controlled by the Taliban, recruitment for the shaheed bombings continues to be done by the Pakistani Taliban.

Last week, the Taliban carried out a shaheed bombing attack using a car in a secret police headquarters in Lahore, dozens of police personnels were killed and around 300 others were wounded. In Peshawar, six police personnels were also dead when a Taliban fighter exploded himself at a police inspection post in Peshawar.

The spokesman of the Taliban said that the attacks in the main cities of Pakistan was a part of the retaliations over the attacks made by the Pakistani military.

A farewell video by the candidates of the shaheed bombers appeared on the internet. The video produced by Fateh Studio contains shoots of 14 to 15 youths who appeared in the video giving messages and farewell salutations before they got onto a vehicle full of explosives in the Northwestern Province of Pakistan.

A youth in that video named Arshad Ali from Swat, sat and held an AK-47 while looking at the camera, then he spoke slowly. Arshad said that the populations of Swat are living in a time of gloom at present and he felt summoned to sacrifice himself so that these gloomy times would soon end and the people of Swat would be liberated.

"The hypocrites (munafiqeen) said that we are doing this for money or that we have been brainwashed- however, what we are going to say is that, we are hailing the commands of Allah to kill those idol worshippers," Arshad said in the video. He said that the government had maligned them by saying that the families of the performers of the shaheed bombing would be given a huge sum of money.

Arshad also said : "I am inviting my brothers to sacrifice themselves for Islam".

His last message was also directed to his father, so that his father would immediately quit his job in a Bank which implements riba.


After giving the messages, the performers of the shaheed bombings then got on their transports heading for “Jannah”. This kind of videos, whether in the form of CD or DVD, could be found a lot in Pakistan these days, replacing the Bollywood films which had been banned by the Taliban.[muslimdaily.net]

AL JIHAD FIE SABILILLAH – Opening The Curtain Of Hypocrisy

.
“Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,- whether he is slain or gets victory - Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value)” (QS. An Nisa:74)

Subhanallah walhamdulillah, The Most True is Allah Who sends down Al Qur'an as a guide and clear light, and with its guidance the Mu'meen expend their lives. On the other hand, those in whose hearts are diseases and doubts, there is no place for them to hide from the verses that describe their insincerity, in fact they have been made very uneasy by it.

Allah Ta'ala says:

“The Hypocrites are afraid lest a Sura should be sent down about them, showing them what is (really passing) in their hearts. Say: "Mock ye! But verily Allah will bring to light all that ye fear (should be revealed).” (QS. At Taubah:64)

Amongst the verses that reveal the hypocrisy of the munafiqeens are the verses of Jihad. There were diverse reactions between them after hearing the verses; from pretending of not comprehending, to deflecting the meanings, in fact they were not even hesitant to reject the verses. Abu Yahya alliby Rahimahullah said: "If you have the intention to conduct jihad, then it is only removing you from having the attribute of nifaq (Hypocrisy), whether you believe or not is not proven until the intention is realized with a manifest action."

What Allah Ta’ala says in surah An Nisa’:74 above was preceded by three verses before it, where Allah Ta'ala orders the believers to be always in standby mode in confronting the enemies and tells the conditions of the munafiqeens.

“O ye who believe! Take your precautions, and either go forth in parties or go forth all together. There are certainly among you men who would tarry behind: If a misfortune befalls you, they say: "(Allah) did favour us in that we were not present among them." But if good fortune comes to you from Allah, they would be sure to say - as if there had never been Ties of affection between you and them - "Oh! I wish I had been with them; a fine thing should I then have made of it!"” (QS. An Nisa’: 71-73)

After Allah Ta'ala opened the curtain of secrecy and disclosed the munafiqeen who always conceal their disbeliefs (kufr) while being in the midst of the Muslims and feel burdened with the coming of the Jihad verses, it was evident that it was due to no other than the absent of Iman in their selves and they preferred to exchange the pleasure of the dien with the enjoyment of the world which is too little. Then, Allah Ta'ala ordered the believers to conduct Jihad in His path with the verses.

“Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,- whether he is slain or gets victory - Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value)” (QS. An Nisa:74)

Imam Al Qurthubi said about this verse, the Khitob (calls) of this verse is dedicated to the the believers (Mu’meen) ie. they must fight the kafir in the way of Allah Ta'ala. Then, Allah Ta'ala characterizes the Mu’meen with:

يَشْرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا بِالْآَخِرَةِ

(Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter)

Where they sell and devote their entire properties and lives in the way of Allah Ta'ala by hoping for the life and rewards of the hereafter, whereas the munafiqeen possessed the opposite characteristics, they are too burdened to even intend, much less to expend their entire properties and lives. Even if they do it, they would certainly participate in it with riya’ thus all what they have contributed in the way of Ta'ala become something purely useless and become something they would regret very much. A Mujahid praised his brother who conducted jihad and was awarded Shaheed with:

"بَاعَ الْحَيَاةَ وَالْفُرْصَةَ لِلهِ وَاللهُ إِشْتَرَاهُ"

He sold his life and time to Allah and Allah has bought them

Allah Ta'ala says:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآَنِ وَمَنْ أَوْفَى بِعَهْدِهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَاسْتَبْشِرُوا بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذِي بَايَعْتُمْ بِهِ وَذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

“Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah. then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme..” (At Tawbah:111)

Imam At Thobary explained the words of Allah in surah An nisa: 74, "It is a directive from Allah Ta'ala to the believers that they conduct Jihad against the enemies from the kafir regardless of the outcome whether it be victory or defeat, and to keep on guard against the munafiqeen who took part in the Jihad against the mushrikeen. Whatever the conditions, a very lofty position from Allah Ta'ala would be obtained. It should be that fighting in the way of Allah means fighting to defend His dien, spreading the message and implementing the order of Allah including reacting towards the kafir by fighting them. As for those who sell the life of this world with the hereafter, it means those who sell their lives in this world for the rewards of the hereafter and what Allah Ta'ala has promised for those who obey Him. And those who sell their lives by means of doing Infaq (charity simply to please God without asking for any favor or hoping for a return) on their wealth for the sake of seeking the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala, it is similar to conducting the Jihad which they believers were enjoined (to fight their enemies or the enemies of the dien by exhausting their whole abilities)." Allah Ta'ala gives the tidings in His words:

وَمَنْ يُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلْ أَوْ يَغْلِبْ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

Meaning: "And whoever defends Allah’s dien and raise high His kalimah, then he is slain by his enemies or he gets victory, then Allah Ta'ala will give him a high degree and great rewards"

The Most True is Allah Who does not breach His promises, but are we amongst the people who are grateful? Nobody could make his entire life, from the start till the end, good except the Mujahid, all his time is spent for the sake of gaining the rewards, whether he gets killed or triumphs. Thus what Abu Anas Attoify had said, “Therefore, receive the call of your Lord to do Jihad in His way without any delay, if there is a feeling of being burdened in our hearts then it’s a proof that we have become the hypocrites (munafiqeen) and Allah does not show the way for the Fasiq (those who departs from the right way).”
