"mujtahid" is the Arabic term defining a "striver" -
the one persevering, doing due diligence, relentlessly seeking empirical
evidence
right through valid sources, struggling against waves of deception fraud
lies and spin,
patiently thoughtfully thoroughly and courageously formulating opinions
as akin to truth as practicable in the circumstances even if the opinions might ultimately
prove wrong; and then mistakes have to be admitted as necessary corrections are made
embracing the next latest closest approximation to the truth.
We are always terrorized; we cannot be afraid of death;
we steadfastly sustain faith,
reverently heeding, by way of example and explanation,
the "sunnah" of Mu[h.]ammad
European compassion? 1 "rama[d.]an" 1430 hijri on Saturday 22 August 2009
Every eve of rama[d.]an seemed to manifest mimes of mercy
and alarms of aggression in parallel.
2009 August 20, Thursday reminiscent of Thursday, 14 March 2002,
the day of the Lockerbie trial verdict for European "justice"?
Or the day of US-EU relishing US$ 2.7 billion blackmail?
Are they deliberately getting names of Muslims wrong?
"alif-lam-mim-qaf-ra-[h.]-ya" that is alMaqra[h.]y

For convenience we refer to the great Libyan patriot as "alM".
alM, 57, has been released "on compassionate grounds"
[ we sense hypocricy ... ]
from the Greenock Prison in Scotland, after serving 8 years.
1988 December 20
Mebo timer MST-13
made by a Swiss firm was the bomb-trigger
in a suitcase packed with a Toshiba radio-cassette
containing 568 grams of Semtex explosive
The suitcase was removed by a baggage handler of Turkish origin
from the trunk of a black Mercedes
that had entered the Frankfurt Airport compound
stopping next to one of the automatic doors.
The suitcase was placed aboard Flight 103 at Frankfurt.
1988 December 21
Pan Am Boeing 747 from Frankfurt en route to New York,
departing London Heathrow airport, one hour behind schedule,
exploded, not over the Atlantic, but overhead Dean's Cross,
landing the wreckage over Lockerbie in Scotland;
270 people perished - 11 Lockerbie residents and 189 US citizens.
Nelson Mandela visited alM at Barlinnie prison in Glasgow
shortly after the latter was flown there
from his cell at the Scottish Court at Kamp Zeist in the Netherlands
following the verdict on Thursday, March 14th 2002
from an 18-month US$80 million trial.
[ 235 witnesses and any forged evidence? ]
Mandela has often declared that alM is innocent.
Mandela's appeal for alM to be transferred to a Libyan prison
was supported by the Cadmans -
Mrs Marion Irvine, daughter of Martin and Rita, parents to victim Bill -
sound engineer in London and Paris, travelling with his girlfriend Sophie
to spend Christmas with Sophie's aunt in the United States.
2007 November 1
After a 2-hour meeting with alM at Her Majesty's Prison, Greenock
in Scotland, Robert Black QC was reported to have said that
"... not only was there a wrongful conviction,
but the victim of it was an innocent man.
Lawyers, and I hope others, will appreciate this distinction. ..."
Sir Tam Dalyell, British Labour Party MP 1962-2005
believes that alM "had nothing to do with the crime of Lockerbie..."
Kenny MacAskill, Scottish Justice Secretary endorsed that alM was guilty.
Sir Tam does not accept that endorsement.
Vengeful people attributed to Iran a lust for vengeance.
An Iran Air Airbus A300 civilian flight IA 655 was shot down
on 3 July 1988 over the Strait of Hormuz by USS Vincennes
under the command of Captain Will Rogers III,
[ awarded the Legion of Merit in 1990 ]
killing all 290 passenges and crew on board.
66 children were among those killed by USS Vincennes.
Do they ever appreciate that Muslims restrain from vengeace,
sustaining faith about "taqdir" and "akhirah"?
Easy to blame the Palestinians, especially the PFLP-GC,
( Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command )
using Turkish members of extremist groups
working as baggage handlers at the Frankfurt airport
to replace a drugs-bag with a lethal suitcase.
Said Pan Am's Israeli investigator, Yuval Aviv, US citizen,
[ once a Mossad agent, always a Mossad agent ]
a Mossad agent first tipped off US and West German intelligence agents
that a terrorist attack would be made on an American passenger plane
departing from Frankfurt on or about 18 December 1988.
He named Ahmed Jibril, a Palestinian-Syrian,
wanting to break the CIA/Al Kassar coalition and take over drug trade
by blowing up Pan Am Flight 103.
The CIA was working with Monzer al-Kassar, a Syrian drug-and-arms dealer,
using that money to free six Americans held by Hizbullah in Lebanon.
The truth may never be known for now;
but close approximation to the truth is pragmatic
for the security of the world against terrorist governments
like those of Israel, America and Britain.
Has the evidence and the verdict been manipulated?
Like 9/11 or 10/12 or 7/7 ....?
Israel benefits the most from WOT that ensues
and the pretext to kill Muslims without any due process.
Is there some theory of patterns?
Israel has always been brutalyy campaigning
against Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, critics of Israel.
Ted Koppel's NightLine featured Palestinian Hanan al-Ashrawi
before the American public for a week.
Then Pan Am Flight 103 news totally displaced from American media
any coverage of Palestinian grievances against Israel.
Israelis initiated every "terrorist" act from car bombs to hijackings
supposedly by Muslims of the Middle East.
They planned and executed the bombing of King David Hotel in 1948 so well
that investigators seemed fooled by the deception -
"Arab-looking and Arab-speaking" impression
with clues leading nowhere.
Mossad chose an assault impracticable to trace,
requiring sparse manpower, promising plenty of publicity.
A deceiving Israeli "agent-in-place"
deceptively acting as a supposedly Syrian intelligence chief
ordered one of his intelligence officers
to place the bomb in a unsuspecting Syrian female passenger's luggage.
One can only speculate what happened next.
Thus Mossad shifted finger-pointing to Syria, Lebanon, Iran ...
as the evidence submitted at the Lockerbie trial
did not conclusively incriminate Libya.
Mossad then made the scam look like a CIA drug deal discovered,
as researchers began to suspect Israel as the culprit.
Witness the NAZI-like inhumanities against Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere
criminally committed by the ashkenazi ghetto claiming to be
"the jewish state"
illegally implanted in Palestine on land stolen and robbed
from Palestinians.
if we were enemies of Americans ... please click here to unveil and click here again to veil
if "x", then "y; "x, therefor "y";
can x ever be equal to y?
If we are pro US congress or the white house, we are with Israel. If we are pro supporters of intervention or invasion or occupation
or foreign military presence, we are with Israel.
If we cooperate in imposing the "zionist-embedded western will" on,
and so become hostile to, the resistance -
the Palestinians, Hamas, Hizbullah, Syria and Iran,
we are with Israel.
If we are with Israel, we ignore evidence
that Israel is a terrorist-state.
If we are with Israel, by deception we have to do war
against the resistance, the oppsition and even well-meaning critics.
If we are with Israel, we blame "terrorists" for zionist brutalities.
If we are with Israel, we condone terrorizing unarmed civilians,
especially children and women; and grab land, water, oil
and related resources.
If we are with Israel, we condone apartheid and genocide.
If we are with Israel, we condone torture, murder and massacre.
If we are with Israel, we regress to barbarism.
If we are with Israel, we hype "holocaust" to raise funds for oppression,
illegal invasion, occupation, settlement, apartheid walls,
apartheid roads, ... ;
facts are classified, filtered and ghosted; main-stream-media must spin.
If we are with Israel, we have neither choice nor chance; only chaos.
Israel is already exploding; we wait for the final count-down as this monster self-destructs.
Look at Palestine and Lebanon. Look at Iraq and Afghanistan. Look back to
Vietnam and Korea.
Look at imperialist inhumanities in colonial history.
Most of the citizens of Israel cannot be Jews;
not like those fine Jews we respect, the followers of Abraham;
Most Israelis relish triggering wars by lying and deceiving?
Their leaders and supporters have thoroughly corrupted
the US administration?
Most US officials follow those monsters lying to and deceiving the world?
[ 935 US administration false statements painstakingly presented ]
"We are dealing with aggressive Zionist behavior.
Let "Israel" stop its aggression and its occupation of Palestinian land
and the resistance, including rockets, will stop" ...
[ Khaled Meshaal, Hamas political chief ]
The world was vehemently against apartheid South Africa before 1991.
Why are governments buying weapons of war
from ardent supporters of apartheid Israel
that targets, terrorizes and bombs anything "Islamic"
wherever and whenever opportune?
Do the buyers ever suspect that these weapons might have been coded
to trigger genocide on Muslims eventually?
Imperialists moved in after natives trusted East India Companies,
accommodating their demand.
Turkey broke. Did it contain the likes of Shabbetai Tzevi and
the "donmeh" in 1660s?
Did it contain Emmanuel Carasso and the "Young Turks" members
of the "Scottish Rite" in 1900s?
Did it resist Jews triggering genocide on Armenians?
Did it counter the British and French governments dividing and
dominating?
They used Turkey to do the holocaust on Armenians, Russians
and the poor in their ghettos.
Their lust for holocaust is unbounded. Aren't they now using the US and EU
for that?
[ one of many sources ]
In one of the Gulf states, Sarkozy said
that the Arabs are entitled to have nuclear energy for peaceful purposes,
because in 30 years time, oil will run out,
energy sources will become non-existent,
and the future of the world will depend on nuclear power.
When I heard him, I said
that I heard Imam Khamenei say these same words four years ago.
Why accept this talk from Sarkozy and not from Sayyed Khamenei?
If they want to accuse Iran of nuclear weapons,
Iran will state that it has been clear and transparent,
and that Sayyed Khamenei very clearly prohibited
the manufacture and use of nuclear weapons.
The West says: 'we will give you the materials for nuclear manufacture,
but as Arabs you are forbidden to produce this material'.
This is to enable them to keep control of this issue,
the political decisions and everything else.

on seventh night of ashoura - 2008 january 16 - in south Lebanon ]
Palestinians oppressed by Israel+US+EU
One day oppressed people will find a way to dump dollar-stranglehold
by breaking off that 1972-73 dollar-defense agreement and the zionist wot.
city of mosques in Iraq
Did the US occupiers of Iraq destroy Fallujah with depleted uranium?
Fallujah stood in place of Pumbedita, a city in ancient Babylonia,
that was a major center of scholarship.
Judah ben Ezekiel founded an academy there in the third century.
Another major center of scholarship was Sura,
a city west of the Euphrates, in the southern part of ancient Babylonia,
known for agricultural produce including grapes, wheat, and barley.
Abba Arika founded an academy at Sura in the third century.
Pumbedita [ 2004 Fallujah destroyed by the US ] as well as Sura
gave rise to the Babylonian Talmud.
Alien covert operatves dragged four armed Blackwater contractors,
Scott Helvenston, Jerry (Jerko) Zovko, Wesley Batalona, and Michael Teague,
from their cars, beat them, and set them on fire.
Having dragged burnt corpses through the streets
the murderers hung the dead over a bridge across the Euphrates.
The false flag by the culprits notorious for aggression by deception
was manipulated to provoke US Operation Vigilant Resolve
followed by the vengeful Operation Phantom Fury in November 2004
to wrest control of Fallujah.
1,350 freedom fighters died rejecting, resisting and repulsing
foreign military presence in the city of mosques.
Estimated 95 killed and 1,000 wounded
was the "official" invasion/occupation casualty for that massacre.
We know thet the invaders/occupiers use white phosphorus -
offensive anti-personnel weapon -
against the resistance in the city of mosques.
Did they use deleted uranium?
See what happened to the children!
Our roots run deep into CHINA, INDIA, CENTRAL-ASIA
and the MIDDLE-EAST;
and the apparent "western influence" is superficial
- only with the gated-guilded elite-enclave - those seemingly insecure
amidst rising restless resistance against US and EU atrocities.
People distrust "americanese"...

Is it not right that until acceptance and implementation
of at least 2 United Nations resolutions 181 and 194
out of hundreds of UN resolutions and the demands of most UN members
in relation to these resolutions,
Israel is not legally a member of the UN? Its inhuman treatment of
Palestinians
over 5 decades and its lies, deceits, apartheid, assassinations and
terrorism
via its Mossad in league with CIA, MI6 ...renders zionism like nazism
and fascism undesirable.

Now I need to recall what I learnt from my mother's "Patani-rooted" parents
who brought me up in a sanctuary in "Lembah Bujang" away from
colonial interlopers in mid-1930s to late-1940s "Semenanjong Tanah Melayu".
Doesn't "jihad" entail defending universal values about humanity
enshrined in the Qur'an and preceding revelations?
thinking several moves ahead as in a game of chess
or "megamek" and adapting strategy as moves develop.
Since bullies threaten with nuclear option or "Samson option"
isn't it imperative to defy them by developing effective deterrents?
topol-m rs-12 or ss-n-27 is mountable on the back of a truck
and deployable from anywhere. It can reach an attacker 4300 miles away
in 25 minutes.
It's manoeuvreable on trajectory. Can any radar reckon its flight path?
Can any ground-based nuclear-warheads of the attacker
get detonated
within 500 metres rather than 10 kilometres of its presence?
Who's planning to dsetroy what, why, how, ....?
[ KK ]
Would leaders who deceive people by lying ever be trusted?
Why can't humanity-oriented people and their governments cease
co-operating with terrorist states that invade sovereign states illegally
relishing torture, murder, plunder, ... ?
Why can't the UN, NAM, OIC, ... courageously defy these
terrorist states?
Why do governments keep funding military spending
by these states?
Isn't risking world economic collapse more humane than funding their wars?
Our beliefs and circumstances inclined us to pragmatic approaches
in resolving issues, never reaching the universal ideals of fine faith.
We have witnessed the brutalities and inhumanities
by imperialists-colonialists. For decades we have been witnessing
agression, invasion, occupation, oppression ... by zionists,
now disguised as neo-conservatives,
at their outposts in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, ...
preparing for resistance and repulsion
Q5:16, Q5:8, Q8:63 and Q6:12 are indeed revealing;
and the whole of Q8 - "surah anfal" becomes inspiring for the resistance.
The first alludes to seeking ways of peace "subulassalam"
wisely ... honorably ... ;
the second warns about fair dealing - justice entails avoidance of hatred;
the third and fourth make one wonder
whether unity is acheivable if mercy is absent.
Q8 is about attitude, behaviour, conduct, procedure, practice,
performance, ...
in resisting and repulsing hypocrisy, foul-play, agression, domination,
invasion, occupation, oppression, torture, murder, plunder, and all manner
of injustices, brutalities, inhumanities perpetrated by
imperialists-colonialists.
Q42:39 people defending themselves againt oppression ..
injustice ..
Q8:60 necessary preparation
Our scholars could enlighten with the background events
prompting the verses.
We would then proceed to immerse ourselves in
"test-defenses" - "simulation" against modern sophisticated weapons;
while our "creative" people work on weapons of defense.
Q3:7 warns that we restrain from imaginatively reading
hidden meanings
or interpreting messages of mercy and
warnings of wrath to suit our fancy.
Q4:78 is consistent with Q6:102 and Q39:62 created everything.
So we infer that everything is traceable to
Q6:12 and Q6:54 assures us that inscribed
the rule of mercy.
Q4:78-79 is like an axiom which we cannot prove
but accept as premise though not self-evident as in geometry.
The proposition is that all things emanate from ; whatever "good"
we get is 's gift in trust; and we ourselves draw forth whatever
"bad" that befalls us for letting ourselves be corrupted by "evil".
Here we are confounded by logic because we cannot define precisely
these entities.
Q30:41 is from surah ar-rum.
The title sounds as if the chapter were about Rome.
It is not even about ancient Greece to which the title alludes.
The key term of verse 41 of this chapter 30 is "fasad" or mischief.
The message is that humans corrupted by evil bring forth to this earth
all the mischiefs of the air, on land and in the sea.
Q42:30 impresses upon us that
misfortunes happen because we let them happen.
It implies that we could have prevented them from happening.
It encourages us to strive ["jihad"]
finding excellent ways to forestall misfortunes.
Q57:22 is consistent with Q4:78-79.
All misfortunes that happen are on record in detail and subjects of
decrees
whether they can happen unhindered or can be frustrated or
aborted.
Something like "mirror-agents" of events?
Q41:33-36 or surah h.amim sajdah of the Qur'an Spiritually the long term approach to defense recommended
is not against persons but against hatred harboured by aggressors.
Whereas defense is not against persons,
defense is emphatically in the name of for the security of all 's creatures everywhere.
It is not specific about weapons or means. It implies that
one can wear down hatred with "something excellent" ["ah.san"];
and the necessary condition for "ah.san" to be present
is by way of patience and restraint which is 's gift.
One of the key Arabic terms of Q41:34 is "[c]uduwah"
- literally meaning enemy.
The term is always alluded to "iblis" or"shyt.an" or "satan" or "devil"
created from fire [ heat energy ? ].
(Q24:45 enlightens that "dabbah", beast,
is created from water.)
Iblis was the greatest learned leader of angels meditating and praying
for long periods that
the angels under its leadership would not rebel against
;
but it never prayed for itself to be
graced with freedom from rebelliousness.
[ I do not subscribe to this story pending validation of source. ]
After Adam was created from clay,
iblis boiled over with arrogance and hatred against everything human
until the laws of heaven had devils and humans fall from grace.
Q7:27 reminds us as descendants of "Adam and Hawa" to be careful
and vigilant to avoid being deceived by followers of "Iblis".
[ shait.an (singular) - "shayat.yin" (plural) ]
These would watch us to lay ambush from positions we cannot see
or fathom. Can we not develop a global positioning system
to detect them and abort their plans.
We are assured safety and security from their "evil designs"
as long as we hold on to our faith and "jihad" against them.
Mindful of Q3:7 we risk associating the meaning and implication
of the notion "hatred" with the Arabic term "[c]uduwah" - enemy.
We think about the Vietnamese "repulsing" American invaders;
the aggressors were then full of hatred against Communists.
[ Are the aggressors now full of hatred against Muslims? ]
Q4:78-79 Q30:41 Q42:30 Q57:22 Key Arabic terms therein:
"h.asanah" "saiyiah" "fasad" "as.aba" "mus.ibah"
equivalents: ? good evil mischief happen misfortune ?
Numerous other verses explain, amplify and point to examples,
cases and histories about strategy, preparation, treatment of children,
women, the sick, the elderly and enemies who ask for truce or peace etc.
The emphasis is always on faith, patience, perseverence, endurance,
fortitude, prudence and bravery which the prophet and Muslims of his
time exemplified to perfection.
