The old saying "Pick your battles" is often ignored by most Muslims. We want to fight for all of our rights, when some rights just really shouldn't be that important that we don't hand them over to the One who can fight them for us.
Every day in the news, some one, some where, in some part of the globe is fighting for their rights or for the right to exercise their rights. To me personally, some of these fights are a bit over the top when we clearly have an alternative to exercise the same rights in a different way. It's not so much what we do, it's how we do it.
For instance, Paris ban on Muslim street prayers comes into effect. We are fighting for the right to pray on a filthy street? Especially from a woman's point of view, the best place for us to pray is in the inner most room of our home, not even in a group with men. I personally wouldn't be caught trying to pray in a street when I have a home to pray in, a much more suitable place for prayer for me. There is also an Islamic rule against blocking the path or roadways. Don't you think this is a bit much to be trying to have a right to do? Ok, so the people in Paris, France say, "Well they won't give us an adequate Mosque to pray in, so we have to pray on the streets." Come on, for real? You don't have a home either? See, this type of action will only create more division because prayer is supposed to be an intimate act between an individual and the Creator. It is better to pray in a Jamaat (group), but no one has a home a group can pray in? Being from Memphis, Tennessee, most of our Masjids (Mosques) were started in a house and grew into a building (Musala) used for prayer and then as our community grew, we got our monies together and built a proper Masjid (Mosque). Allah (God) makes us ready to face anything when we strengthen ourselves.
Muslims are falling into the same mindset of "entitlement" that everyone else is in the world. First of all, no government HAS to give you a place to pray, but with that being said..."Interior Minister Claude Gueant has offered believers the use of a disused fire brigade barracks instead (of praying in the street)." So, the French government is still trying to accommodate Muslims. So, where in Islam do we have the right to strong arm anything from anyone? And when they try to accommodate us, we deem it unusable as if the street is a better place than a clean building? Come on, now. Are we serious about this? There is a specific law under Shari'ah that states we MUST obey the laws of the land. So, the French law is "no to street prayers". Hadith says don't block the pathways and roadways. So, because it's the French government saying not to do the same thing, you defy it? Many Muslims, unfortunately, have therir Deen (way of life) twisted into Bidah (innovation) and we want to make a fight out of everything, even what we have no right in to make a fight. What we should be fighting for, we have no interest in fighting for, we want to take something that we have no rights in and fight.
This whole topic is getting old. We fight for foolishness and ignore the real violations of our rights. Like the rights being violated in Sudan, Somalia and other countries where people are truly suffering, not being allowed the basic right to live unmolested and free. Like the rights right here in America to not be corporate slaves. But, we want to cry about not being able to pray in the street, one of the most filthy places to pray when we have cleaner alternatives. The Hijab fight is valid, but praying in the streets? Pick your battles wisely before we are viewed as a group of people who are whining cry babies, who want every little thing our way and want everyone in the world to bend to accommodate us. This is how you make enemies. No one likes a bunch of brats. We don't live in this world alone and our rights stop when the next person's rights begin. Non-Muslims should not have to be subjected to watching and waiting for Muslims to pray, while the Muslims block the path and the non-Muslims lose their right to travel an unobstructed road. We have to share this world and have patience and acceptance for everyone and let Allah (God) bestow upon us what is our right rather than trying to make a fight about every single thing. People aren't going to respect us until we get our own situation together. All dignity and honor belongs to Allah (God) and he places dignity and honor upon whom he chooses. If I am wrong, may Allah (God) forgive me, but Islam is mostly about logic and common sense. And Allah Ta'ala (God, the Most High) knows best.

Why the Corporation Wants to Silence Muslims
We have touched on the fact that the Corporation wants to cause divisiveness amongst the people, but we never really talked about why they have a special hatred for Muslims.
The Corporation and Elites of the World have one thing in common: Freemasonry. But, what does this have to do with Muslims? Well, in order to achieve higher degrees within the Masonic Orders, you have to learn about Islam and take the Shahadah which is basically to bear witness that there is but One God and Muhammad is His servant and last messenger.
Muslims also know that Freemasons use our Qur'an to conduct magic rituals in order to attach major demons and devils to their souls. These major demons or devils (called Ifrit) are responsible for the Freemasons seemingly indestructible power. They often read certain verses (ayat) backwards during their rituals in which they vow an allegiance to these devils while blindfolded between the ritualistic towers, Jachin and Boaz, and standing on the checkered floor which represents a merging of both good and evil practices.
Muslims know every detail about the rituals and practices of Freemasons because we are taught in Qur'an and Hadith about how and what they do. The all seeing one eye is not God's eye, but their god's eye, the one eye of the Antichrist (Dajjal). One eye is blind, just as the man who goes through his degree ritual and this is representative of the vision of the heart. It is blind and therefore not recognized. The one eye we do see is the outward vision, the worldly view, the one eye of Horus, Satan (Iblis), it is visible and therefore is recognized as the true sight.
Solomon (Peace be Upon Him) was a righteous prophet, guided and true, the true owner of Jachin and Boaz. And, as all prophets were give a gift of miracles, each miracle was specific to each prophet. One of Solomon's gifts, according to the Qur'an, was control over the demon and jinn world, which lies parallel to our own. Because the Freemasons desire this power and do adhere to the belief of this power, they have claimed the right to this power and will do anything to attain this power, however, they are misguided and enslaved by the very demons to which they hold their allegiance.
Muslims know this and will continue to expose them for the thieves and liars they are. Why wouldn't they want to discredit us with their propaganda of terrorism when we have the ability to shake the very foundation of their practices, exposing them for the con artists that they are?

In the City, Off the Grid
Today, I have some very special and important news to share with everyone. It's a passion for me and hopefully is a great benefit to everyone. What is news, you say? I'm talking about magnets, not your little earth science magnets from junior high. I'm talking about Neodynium Rare Earth Magnets. These little gems are the most powerful kinetic type magnets available. They come in small sizes, but pack a huge magnetism that I have used to create a over-unity generator. The over-unity theory is simply creating a source of electricity by using a device that uses less energy than it actually produces. Currently, all commercial and consumer devices that create power, such as generators, use more power than they actually create. Using a spin off of a John Bedini-type magent motor with his "School Girl Schematic" which the magnets are rotated around separate sets of magent wire coils that will run perpetually generating more power than it the magnet motor uses. The name School Girl implies just how simple is it to reproduce.
From the days of Nikola Tesla, people assumed this type of power was very "mad scientist" type of power. It involes Tesla coils which contrary to popular belief are too easy to make. The Neodynium Magents are used to trip the the coils in an on/off or I/O sequence.
So, Nour, what does all this engineering mumbo-jumbo means? Glad you asked. It means you have the ability to create your very own personal electricity and you never would have to pay another electric bill...ever! In fact, if you did decide to tie this generator into your current grid (utility meter and fuse box), the power company would be sending you a check every month because you'd be generating power for them which literally would cause your meter to run backwards!
Yeah, sounds good but it dangerous right? Yes and no. Of course all electricity is potentially dangerous, but it's only dangerous if you have no clue what you are doing or you are careless. The magnet motor itself, if built properly, is no more dangerous than the wheel of a ten-speed bike. But, then you can still find potential dangers even in that.
Ok, so how does a person get started? Glad you asked. I must first point out that the components can get very expensive, but if you plan your works and built it in phases, the investment doesn't necessarily have to break your bank. There are many types of materials you can use. I find wood to be the least expensive and best. Some people use acrylic and fiberglass resins, these are more expensive.
Here's a video series on how to make a small version and then at your own pace, you can scale this into a real electricity powerhouse.
I have built this generator and I am currently building a very large one to accommodate our household needs (10 kilowatts). I am opting to use an off-grid setup, meaning I will not use a grid-tie inverter, but smaller (less expensive) power inverters and run my electricity from these smaller inverters. A grid-tie inverter for the average home can cost $5,000 and even more if you have someone else install it for you. My total setup is going to cost me $1,500, but I will never pay for electricity ever again. My average utility bill is $250, with 90% being electricity. So, in about 7 months, my magnet generator will have paid for itself and after that I will have increased my savings account by $225 per month.

I'm Just Sayin' (Eid Mubarak)
Now, for those of you who thought I was a quack before with all my talk of being prepared. We are constantly receiving sign after sign that we must be prepared. I know some people will brush it off as it being "Mother Nature" who ever the heck that chick is. I'm not pagan, so, I don't accept Mother Nature being a real entity. But even if you do believe this Mother Nature business, wouldn't it be safe to say you are still getting an abundance of signs?
People in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Virginia were greatly unprepared/ill-prepared for the Category 0 Hurricane Irene. Do you think you could possibly prepare within a couple of days all the essentials you will need? Just because the storm is over doesn't mean these people will not have a long wait for flood waters to subside, debris to be removed, utilities to be fixed and groceries stores to get more food delivered. We know we can live months without food, and we also know we can only live about 2 weeks without water, potable water. How long do you suspect it will take to repair and replenish an water main and pipes that probably got contaminated because of the aftermath of the fake storm?
Now, let's say a few of these people did prepare and I have no doubt that some did. Wouldn't you say that their situation was probably better, albeit uncomfortable, than those who did not prepare?
I'm just saying, we know what times we are living in and there is no need to ignore the situation. Ignoring it will not make it go away. This now gives those of us who haven't prepared to began doing so now. If Hurricanes Katrina and Irene have taught us anything, it's to be prepared because your government will lie to us, force us into a corner and leave us to die.
What's even worse about this whole Hurricane Irene business is that is was a hoax played on us by our government. People along the East Coast were literally cut off from communication and evacuated from their homes. In New York City, the mass rail system was shut down 2 days prior to the "Hurricane" preventing people from even leaving the 5 Burroughs to find safer ground. The whole situation was all too similar to Soylent Green, where the people were literally trapped in New York City. All to "save" them from a massive wind and thunderstorm. At best Hurricane Irene was a Tropical Storm, which was huge in size, but weak in bite. And that clown, Obama, made it look like he was saving the good ol' US of A from eminent death and destruction.
All of these signs should be pointing people to the direction of becoming self-sufficient. You don't have to move out into the rural areas to become self-sufficient. The biggest obstacle is changing the way you think and consume. We have to stop assuming that the government cares about us. We have get out of the frame of mind that our country will take care of us. They have been raping us raw for over a century, so what is going to make them all of a sudden do right by us?
The government as we know it is a corporation, a non-human, shell entity which has no rights. The rights they say they have are only acts, policies and legal garbage. Hey, I can right up an affidavit and sign it saying I have the right to take any one's property whenever I please, does this make it lawful? It is legal, but legal does not equal lawful. Sweethearts, this is your land and my land, this is ours by virtue of God, by endowment of God and not some quasi-Democratic-guise Oligarchy's land, with rights to use and abuse us according to their it's own whims.
FEMA is simply not going to come and rescue you and they are hoping an event occurs where half the population is dead and the other half is drowning. We cannot as intelligent human beings put that much trust in the hands of our oppressors. They tax us to death, snatch all of our rights and then we trust they are going to save our lives. As superior mammals, we are too damned smart to be susceptible to Stockholm Syndrome. We can't be so in love with our abusers that we put our whole-hearted trust in them. It's the same scenario that plays before us time and again. So, when are we gonna wake up? Those who trust, put their trust in God.
This video was sent to me from a true friend. Thanks, Trudy, for being a caring, responsible friend and standing up for what you know is right. My husband and I truly love and appreciate you.
May God guide every one of us and assist us in all our affairs...Ameen(Amen).

The Truth about Muslim Women
I've recently found a publication floating around on the internet called Sharia Law for the Non-Muslim by Bill Warner, Center for the Study of Political Islam, isbn 0-9795794-8-1 . Bill Warner attempts to sway the masses of non-Muslims by misquoting and inventing portions of quotes using the Islamic Jurisprudence and trying to draw imaginary lines in how Shari'ah is against the Constitution. I will also point out that Bill Warner uses incomplete or nonexistent quotes from Reliance of the Traveller - A Guide to Islamic Jurisprudence. Bill did not even realize that Traveller is spelled correctly with two Ls because the book was translated into British English, not American English.
I will be answering the chapter called Women from this book and addressing Bill Warner as Bill. Whatever is true, I will state true and whatever is false, I will explain. This blog entry is to bust the myths about Muslim Women being oppressed. This is directly from a Muslim Woman's experience, not second-hand, but my own. PN = Prepper Nour
Bill Warner: Islamic Scholars Claim: Sharia laws concerning women are the rule of law in Islamic families.
PN: True
Bil: Islam was the first civilization to provide and guarantee women’s rights.
PN: True, Muslim women could do a whole host of things, when American women couldn't even vote or have a right to inheritance.
Bill: Mohammed gave the world the perfect example of how women are protected in Islam.
PN: True, Peace and Blessing be upon him.
Bill: Muslim women are treasured and as treasures must be protected from first
the evils of the kafir world.
PN: True
Bill: The rights of Muslim women come from Allah.
PN: True, everyone's sovereign rights come from God, even the Constitution states this.
Bill: The sharia: Sharia law has different laws for different groups of people.
PN: True, those who know better are held to a higher, stricter law than those who do not know or are not Muslim. Islam does, unlike the American Government, recognize an excuse for ignorance of the law.
Bill: Women are one of its special classes.
PN: True. Women are of a Supreme Class, fragile and to be cherished and protected by men. We are the Queen Bees of this world.
Bill: “Dealing with a Rebellious Wife m10.12 When a husband notices signs of rebelliousness...Ishaq969 ... Men were to lay injunctions on women lightly for they
Bill: “Wife Beating" Islam’s grand vision about women is given in one verse of the Koran: Koran 4:34 Allah has made men superior to women because men spend their wealth to support them. Therefore, virtuous women are obedient, and they are to guard their unseen parts as Allah has guarded them. As for women whom you fear will rebel, admonish them first, and then send them to a separate bed, and then beat them. But if they are obedient after that, then do nothing further; surely Allah is exalted and great! ”
PN: I'll break it down in layman's terms. Men have to support women, women don't have to work. Even if I had a billion dollars, my husband has to spend of his own money to support me. So, what's mine is mine and what's his is ours. Christian women don't get this benefit. All virtuous women are obedient to their husbands. Um, doesn't the Christian marriage vows say, to love, honor and obey??? I am obedient as a wife because I conduct myself in a way that upholds my husbands honor and my own dignity. In a round about way you are saying this is oppressive. How is this oppressive? I don't have to serve my husband, I am not his slave.
For those who don't know, I cover my body for my Lord out of common decency, not my husband, he just gets the benefit of other men not being able to peek at what is lawfully and rightfully his to peek at and this works both ways. How many Muslim men have you seen in a Speedo???
The “beating” a woman would receive is with a twig on the bottom of her foot. This is done to embarrass her and wound her ego, making her realize she is acting childishly. Of course only Muslims would know what this “beating” is supposed to be. Why would a sane, educated woman leave Christianity to become Muslim to be subjected to oppression? I make all my moves in life based on the benefit receive from making these moves. If I had more benefit as a Christian, I was already there, I could have stayed. I am by no means an idiot or any man's slave or play-thing. I know my rights and I know my obligations. I was a full grown woman when I chose Islam and I had 21 years in the teachings of Christianity. I am no fly-by-night, flighty gal who is led by my own whims and desires.
As for me being subservient, Hell You Say! I run my house, it is my abode and a place where I rule. Every True Muslim woman married to a True Muslim man runs her own house. Her husband is obligated to support her customary to the other women in her class, spending from his own pockets to support her. If he takes other wives, he has to support them equally. I would say that the man is the loser in the trade-off of sex. Do you know how much it costs to support one woman? He has to be financially able to support all wives equally, and all of his children as well, equally. No sex is worth having to pay out that amount of money, just to have up to four women he can have sex with. That's why you don't find many Muslim men exercising this right to have more than one wife. Women, Muslim or not, are too expensive to maintain for it just to be about sex.
Men, though, are a degree higher than women because they spend from their wealth to support us. So a woman being fully supported by her husband shouldn't bite the hand that feeds her, clothes her, pays her medical bills, utilities, phone, car note, insurance, etc. Would you really want to be hen-pecked by a woman whose only obligation to you is sex? She doesn't have to cook, she doesn't have to clean. All she is obligated to do is have sex with you when you want it, but you have to pay all of her bills and keep her in the lifestyle you have made for her? So, any women who would be rebellious and at odds with her husband for no reason is an idiot when otherwise she'd have to fend for herself. She would be an idiot to not keep her gravy train with a smile on her face. Muslim wives that have their own money are not obligated to spend one red cent on anything her husband is obligated to pay for, although, I share my wealth with my husband, it is a voluntary charity. If he asks to use my money, it is a loan he must repay unless I forgive the debt. And if my husband can afford a maid and I wanted one, a maid I would get. Also, men are our protectors. Have you noticed men were built superior to women in strength. There's a reason for this. Women in Islam are given their due proper. Meaning, I am the weaker-bodied sex and every woman does desire a hero to save her, support her, protect her and treat her as a delicate flower. Disney has been writing these stories all along; Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Aladdin...do I really have to go further? I mean, it is even the Christian belief that a Man is the head of his household, the protector of his flock.
Sure, I am strong, I have built privacy fences, laid ceramic and travertine tiles and hardwood floors, built a 8'x8' chicken coop, a 12'x40' greenhouse, done plumbing and electrical, but because those things are of interest to me, my husband just gets the benefit of an intelligent, capable help-mate. Doesn't Christianity speak of women being a help-mate...of course it does. I get my rights and if I feel slighted, I will speak up and express my opinion and rightly so. I don't bite my tongue, if I want something, I ask for it. I don't always get everything I want, but my husband does break his back to try to get it for me. My own father, and I love my dad, a Christian, didn't do ten percent as much for me as a child. So, I show my gratitude to my husband in any lawful way that pleases him. I'm no idiot, I know what side my bread is buttered on. Of course, like all marriages, Christian, Jewish and Muslim or any other religion, you have boneheads that have no clue what it is to be a husband or to be a wife. My husband and I do get into some pretty heated arguments like every couple, but we have the common sense to know our bounds and what each other's right are over ourselves. We respect each other, something I never witnessed in all my life as a Christian of any of my Christian family members in their marriages.
Bill: The Doctrine of Women
o22.0 The Judge and the Court
o22.1 The necessary qualifications for being an Islamic judge (qadi) are:
(a) to be a free male
(b) to have full capacity for moral answerability (taklif. Def: c8.1);
(c) to be upright (o24.2);
(d) to possess knowledge (O: of the rulings of Sacred Law, meaning by the way of personal legal reasoning (itjihad) (A: from primary texts), not merely by following a particular qualified scholar (taqlid) (A: i.e. if he follows qualified scholarship, he must know and agree with how the rulings are derived, not merely report them). Being qualified to perform legal reasoning (itjihad) requires knowledge of the rules and principles of the Koran, the sunna (A: in this context meaning the hadith, not the sunna as opposed to the obligatory), (N: as well as knowledge of scholarly consensus (ijma', def: b7)), and analogy (def: III below), together with knowing the types of each of these. (A: The knowledge of each type: below implies familiarity with subtypes and kinds, but the commentator has deemed the mention of the category as a whole sufficient to give readers a general idea.)
However, here are a few examples of real live judges who are women and Muslim:

o4.9 (A: For the rulings below, one multiples the fraction named by the indemnity appropriate to the death or injury's type of intentionality and other relevant circumstances that determine the amount of a male Muslim's indemnity (def: o4.2-6 and o4.13).)
The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man.
The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third of the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth of that of a Muslim.
When a miscarriage results from someone having struck the stomach of a pregnant woman (O: or other part of her, or when someone frightens her, resulting in her miscarriage), the indemnity for the fetus is a male of female slave worth one-twentieth of the indemnity payable for killing the fetus's father, or one-tenth that of its mother. (A: The indemnity is whatever they agree upon.)
There you go again, Bill, making people all scared over nothing again. Duh, Bill, at what point are you going to get it? WE DO NOT LIVE IN AN ISLAMIC STATE, THERE IS NO CALIPHATE ANYWHERE ON EARTH, THEREFORE SHARI'AH LAW CANNOT BE PUT INTO EFFECT ANYWHERE ON EARTH LET ALONE AMERICA BECAUSE AMERICA IS NOT AN ISLAMIC STATE. AMERICA WOULD CEASE TO BE AMERICA IF IT WERE AN ISLAMIC STATE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE MAJORITY MUSLIM AND HAVE A CALIPHATE. THERE IS NO INTEREST OF MUSLIMS MAKING AN ISLAMIC STATE SO FAR AWAY FROM MECCA, SAUDI ARABIA. IT WOULD MAKE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER TO WANT SHARI'AH HERE WHEN IT IS NOT EVEN IN SAUDI ARABIA, THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD FOR SHARI'AH TO BE IMPLEMENTED. FYI: Saudi Arabia is a Kingdom (Dictatorship/Oligarchy), not an Islamic State.
Bill: "L10.3 They divide the universal share so that the male receives the portion of two females. ”
PN: In summary, yes this is true, but why? Because the men have to support the household. (This is a point I made earlier that one must learn Qur'an and Hadith in order to understand Shari'ah.) Therefore males would require a greater inheritance than females. If a man dies and leaves one son and three daughters and no other heirs, for instance, that one son is responsible for the full maintenance of his sisters until the sisters get married at which time their husbands would support them fully. So, it only makes sense that the males gets the greater portion of inheritance. While the sisters could spend their portions on what they wish, the brother, who is obligated to support his sisters, has to spend his inheritance on his sisters. So, as you think it is unfair for the sisters, it is in reality is probably more unfair for the brother, especially as he would have to support his widowed mother, too. The obligation on the brother to support his sisters is when there is no one in line before him to take custody. is in M13.0 under Care and Custody.
But for the people, I will relay the entire text here.
L10.3 The co-universal heir is any female deserving an obligatory share who requires someone else in order to become a universal heir, and with whom she participates in this universal share.
Bill Warner states, “Koran 4:11 It is in this manner that Allah commands you concerning your children: A male should receive a share equal to that of two females, [...]
This hadith equates camels, slaves and women. [Abu Dawud 11, 2155] Mohammed said: If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: “O Allah, I ask You for the good in her, and in the disposition You have given her; I take refuge in You from the evil in her, and in the disposition You have given her.” When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing. Women are inferior to men in intelligence and religion.
Bill, I cannot see how women and slaves are equated to camels. Let me make this clear that a slave of what you know of a slave, such as how Africans in America were treated is polar opposite of what a slave is in Islam. A slave in Islam is equivalent to an indentured servant, but with the rights of a sovereign. There are no more slaves in Islam. Educate yourself http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/slavery_1.shtml
[Bukhari 1,6,301] While on his way to pray, Mohammed passed a group of women and he said, “Ladies, give to charities and donate money to the unfortunate, because I have witnessed that most of the people in Hell are women. They asked, “Why is that?” He answered, “You swear too much, and you show no gratitude to your husbands. I have never come across anyone more lacking in intelligence, or ignorant of their religion than women. A careful and intelligent man could be misled by many of you.” They responded, “What exactly are we lacking in intelligence or faith?” Mohammed said, “Is it not true that the testimony of one man is the equal to the testimony of two women?”
After they affirmed that this was true, Mohammed said, “That illustrates that women are lacking in intelligence. Is it not also true that women may not pray nor fast during their menstrual cycle?” They said that this was also true. Mohammed then said, “That illustrates that women are lacking in their religion.”
A woman's testimony is worth half that of a man.
2:282 Believers! When you contract a loan for a certain period, write it down, or to be fair, let a scribe write it down. The scribe should not refuse to write as Allah has taught him; therefore, let the scribe record what the debtor dictates being mindful of his duty to Allah and not reducing the amount he owes. If the debtor is ignorant and unable to dictate, let his guardian do so with fairness. Call two men in to witness this, but if two men cannot be found, then call one man and two women whom you see first to be witnesses. Therefore, if either woman makes an error, the other can correct her [...] ”
Bill, many scientific studies show that men are led by logic and women are led by emotion. With logic there is only black or white, truth or falsehood. With emotion, they are one thousand shades of gray between what is perceived as truth or falsehood. This is itself is a plain explanation of how men and women function psychologically. So, if you were falsely accused of murder, would you want a witness who knew for a fact you didn't do it or someone who was so emotional, they knew you were mad at the person and aren't sure if you were guilty or not? See, emotion brings speculation it gives doubt a petri dish to set in and grow. Logic gives only a clear cut right or wrong, yes or no without any additives which may cause confusion or speculation. Emotions also is a breeding ground for fantasies and not remembering something as it actually occurred, but includes feelings and other nonsensical memories that have nothing to do with the facts. But, again you are not in an Islamic State, so remind me, again of how this would ever pertain to you.
Bill: ”Female Genital Mutilation, Female Circumcision
It is unfortunate that the term circumcision is applied to both the removal of the foreskin of the male and the removal of the clitoris of the woman. There is no comparison.
[Bukhari 7,72,,779] Mohammed said, “Five practices are characteristics of the ancient prophets: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits.”
This hadith refers to the circumcision of female genitalia. It assumes that both the man and the woman are circumcised. [Muslim 003,0684] [...] Abu Musa then said, “When is a bath obligatory?” Aisha responded, “You have asked the right person. Mohammed has said that a bath is obligatory when a man is encompassed by a woman and their circumcised genitalia touch.”
Circumcision is part of the Sharia law. Here is the deceptive translation:
e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce of the clitoris (not the clitoris itself, as some mistakenly assert).
However what the Arabic actually says is:
e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the clitoris (this is called Hufaad).”
This deceptive translation obscures the Sharia law. This deception is called taqiyya, a form of sacred deception.
At the battle of Badr, we have a reference to the custom of removing the clitoris.
I564 Hamza said, ‘Come here, you son of a female circumciser.’ Now his mother was Umm Anmar, a female circumciser (one who circumcised girls) in Mecca. Then Hamza smote him and killed him.
PN: Bill, this is what e4.3 actually says:
e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory (O: for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. Bazr) of the clitoris (n: not the clitoris itself, as some mistakenly assert). (A: Hanbalis hold that circumsion of women is not obligatory but sunna, while Hanafis consider it a mere courtesy to the husband.)
So, here we go again. First this applies to Muslim men and Women, not non-Muslims. We don't follow the Hanbalis or Hanafis School of Thought (Madhab), however, I have never had a circumcision and my husband was circumcised as a Christian at birth. The stories you read about female circumcision is a cultural thing, as you only hear about it from certain Muslim countries. Our own sons were circumcised at birth or shortly afterward and our daughters have never been cut, nor would we approve of them being cut.
Bill:
o12.0 the penalty for fornication
o12.6 If the penalty is stoning, they are to be stoned, no matter the weather, or if they are ill. A pregnant woman is not stoned until she gives birth and the child does not need to nurse.
PN: I have to put this exactly as it as written, as Bill Mayer has not done so (as usual).
o12.0 The Penalty for Fornication & Sodomy
o12.6 If the penalty is stoning, the offender is stoned even in severe heat or cold, and even if he has an illness from which his is expected to recover. A pregnant woman is not stones until she gives birth and the child can suffice with the milk of another.
PN: But Bill, you skipped this part:
o12.4 Someone who commits fornication is not punished if he says that he did not know it was unlawful, provided he is a new Muslim or grew up in a remote (O: from Islamic scholars) wilderness, though if neither is the case, such a person is punished.
This clearly is a Muslim ruling only. Non-Muslims are not subjected to our laws. And death is the penalty for adultery, not fornication.
As for fornication:
o12.5 An offender is not scourged in intense heat or bitter cold, or when he is ill and recovery is expected (until he recovers), or in a mosque, or when the offender is a woman who is pregnant, until she gives birth and has recovered. The whip used should be neither new nor old and worn-out, but something in between. The offender is not stretched out when scourged, or bound (O: as his hands a re left loose to fend off blows), or undressed (O: but rather an ankle-length shirt is left upon him or her), and the scourger does not lay the stripes on hard (O: but raising his arm, such as that he draws blood). The scourger distributed the blows over various parts of the body, avoiding vital points and the face. A man is scourged by a standing; a woman, sitting and covered (O; by a garment wrapped around her). If the offender is emaciated, or sick from an illness not expected to improve, then he or she is scouraged with a single date palm frond (O: upon which there are a hundred strips, or fifty. If a hundred, such an offender is struck once with it, and if fifty, then twice), or with the edge of a garment.
Bill, most righteous people would agree that the Bible speaks of not fornicating and adultery (sexually immoral) I Corinthians 6:9, so are you saying fornication and adultery are ok? Of course, you are unaware that these Shari'ah laws apply only to Muslims and not Non-Muslims who are in an Islamic State, right?
Other important parts you missed is:
o12.1 The legal penalty is obligatorily imposed upon anyone who fornicates or commits sodomy (A: provided it is legally established (def: n11.2(O:))) when they:
(a) have reached puberty;
(b) are sane;
(c) and commit the act voluntarily;
no matter whether the person is Muslim, non-Muslim subject of the Islamic state, or someone who has left Islam.
o12.2 If the offender is someone with the capacity to remain chaste, then he or she is stoned to death (def: o12.6), someone with the capacity to remain chaste meaning anyone who has had sexual intercourse (A: at least once) with their spouse in a valid marriage, and is free, of age, and sane. A person is not considered to have the capacity to remain chaste if he or she had only had intercourse in a marriage that is invalid, or is prepubescent at the time of marital intercourse who subsequently regains their sanity prior to committing adultery.
You say about women having sex with other men, we discussed that earlier and it is unlawful to have premarital or extramarital sex, even the Bible says so in I Corithians 6:9 among other places in the Bible. I Corinthians 7:39 says, “A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.” And besides, it's just messy for a woman to have more than one man, unless you believe Jerry Springer and Maury Povich, “Who's My Baby Daddy?” shows are cosmopolitan and encourage a healthy society. We use New Testament because most Christians today are more comfortable with the New than the Old.
________________________________________________________
You know a point I really just realized I was showing here was just how close Christianity and Islam really are. If you can get past the things lost in translation and taken out of context, you would be able to see this clearly. However, it is quite possible that the Corporation has trained us so well to find the differences and division that we often cannot see what plain to see sitting right before our very eyes.
Peace
I will be answering the chapter called Women from this book and addressing Bill Warner as Bill. Whatever is true, I will state true and whatever is false, I will explain. This blog entry is to bust the myths about Muslim Women being oppressed. This is directly from a Muslim Woman's experience, not second-hand, but my own. PN = Prepper Nour
Bill Warner: Islamic Scholars Claim: Sharia laws concerning women are the rule of law in Islamic families.
PN: True
Bil: Islam was the first civilization to provide and guarantee women’s rights.
PN: True, Muslim women could do a whole host of things, when American women couldn't even vote or have a right to inheritance.
Bill: Mohammed gave the world the perfect example of how women are protected in Islam.
PN: True, Peace and Blessing be upon him.
Bill: Muslim women are treasured and as treasures must be protected from first
the evils of the kafir world.
PN: True
Bill: The rights of Muslim women come from Allah.
PN: True, everyone's sovereign rights come from God, even the Constitution states this.
Bill: The sharia: Sharia law has different laws for different groups of people.
PN: True, those who know better are held to a higher, stricter law than those who do not know or are not Muslim. Islam does, unlike the American Government, recognize an excuse for ignorance of the law.
Bill: Women are one of its special classes.
PN: True. Women are of a Supreme Class, fragile and to be cherished and protected by men. We are the Queen Bees of this world.
Bill: “Dealing with a Rebellious Wife m10.12 When a husband notices signs of rebelliousness...Ishaq969 ... Men were to lay injunctions on women lightly for they
were prisoners of men and had no control over their persons. ”
PM: Actually, this is what the complete section m10.12 of Reliance of the Traveller states:
Dealing with a Rebellious Wife
m10.12 When a husband notices signs of rebelliousness in his wife (nushuz, dis: p42 – description in section p42.0 A Wife's Rebelling Against Her Husband) (O: whether in words, as when she answers him coldly when she used to do so politely, or asks her to come to bed and she refuses, contrary to her usual habit; or whether in acts, as when he finds her averse to him when she was previously was kind and cheerful), he warns her in words (O: without keeping from her or hitting her, for it may be that she has an excuse. The warning could be to tell her, “Fear Allah concerning the rights you owe to me.” or it could be that the rebelliousness nullifies his obligation to support her and give her a turn amongst the wives, or it could be to inform her, “Your obeying me [def:(3) below] is religiously obligatory”). If she commits rebelliousness, he keeps from sleeping (O: and having sex) with her without words, and may hit her, but not in a way that injures her, meaning he may not (A: bruise her,) break bones, wound her or cause blood to flow. (O: It is unlawful to strike another's face.) He may hit her whether she is rebellious only once or whether more than once, though a weaker opinion holds that he may not hit her unless there is repeated rebelliousness.
(N: To clarify this paragraph, we mention the following rulings:
- Both man and wife are obliged to treat each other kindly and graciously.
- It is not lawful for a wife to leave the house except by the permission of her husband, though she may do so without permission when there is a pressing necessity. Nor may a wife permit anyone to enter her husband's home unless he agrees, even their unmarriageable kin. Nor may she be alone with a non-family member male, under any circumstances.
- It is obligatory for a wife to obey her husband as is customary in allowing him full lawful sexual enjoyment of her person. It is obligatory for the husband to enable her to remain chaste and free of want for sex if he is able. It is not obligatory for the wife to serve her husband (dis: w45.1): if she does so, it is voluntary charity.
- If the wife does not fulfill one of the above-mentioned obligations, she is termed “rebellious” (nashiz), and the husband takes the following steps to correct matters:(a) admonition and advice, by explaining the unlawfulness of rebellion, its harmful effect on married life, and by listening to her viewpoint on the matter:(b)if admonition is ineffectual, he keeps from her by not sleeping with her, by which both learn the degree to which they need each other;(c)if keeping from her is ineffectual, it is permissible for him to hit her if he believes that hitting will bring her back to the right path, though if he does not think so, it is not permissible. His hitting her may not be in a way that injures her, and is his last recourse to save the family;(d) if the disagreement does not end after all this, each partner chooses an arbitrator to solve the dispute by settlement, or divorce.
Bill, first of all, you left out all these words and added a lie. “Ishaq969 ... Men were to lay injunctions on women lightly for they were prisoners of men and had no control over their persons. ”, is no where to be found. So, this lets me know, you will lie to hurt other people for you own selfish gain or to force a point-of-view which is not substantiated. There are Christians and Muslims that hit their wives and it is solely apart of their culture. Throwing acid on women, killing women, setting women on fire, as badly as one may want it to, has nothing to do with the Shari'ah. The one who does this, according to the Shari'ah should be receive his crime as his punishment. And the final judgment is with his Lord. It is no more permissible than Tommy beating Pamela or Ike beating Tina.
Bill: “Wife Beating" Islam’s grand vision about women is given in one verse of the Koran: Koran 4:34 Allah has made men superior to women because men spend their wealth to support them. Therefore, virtuous women are obedient, and they are to guard their unseen parts as Allah has guarded them. As for women whom you fear will rebel, admonish them first, and then send them to a separate bed, and then beat them. But if they are obedient after that, then do nothing further; surely Allah is exalted and great! ”
PN: I'll break it down in layman's terms. Men have to support women, women don't have to work. Even if I had a billion dollars, my husband has to spend of his own money to support me. So, what's mine is mine and what's his is ours. Christian women don't get this benefit. All virtuous women are obedient to their husbands. Um, doesn't the Christian marriage vows say, to love, honor and obey??? I am obedient as a wife because I conduct myself in a way that upholds my husbands honor and my own dignity. In a round about way you are saying this is oppressive. How is this oppressive? I don't have to serve my husband, I am not his slave.
For those who don't know, I cover my body for my Lord out of common decency, not my husband, he just gets the benefit of other men not being able to peek at what is lawfully and rightfully his to peek at and this works both ways. How many Muslim men have you seen in a Speedo???
The “beating” a woman would receive is with a twig on the bottom of her foot. This is done to embarrass her and wound her ego, making her realize she is acting childishly. Of course only Muslims would know what this “beating” is supposed to be. Why would a sane, educated woman leave Christianity to become Muslim to be subjected to oppression? I make all my moves in life based on the benefit receive from making these moves. If I had more benefit as a Christian, I was already there, I could have stayed. I am by no means an idiot or any man's slave or play-thing. I know my rights and I know my obligations. I was a full grown woman when I chose Islam and I had 21 years in the teachings of Christianity. I am no fly-by-night, flighty gal who is led by my own whims and desires.
As for me being subservient, Hell You Say! I run my house, it is my abode and a place where I rule. Every True Muslim woman married to a True Muslim man runs her own house. Her husband is obligated to support her customary to the other women in her class, spending from his own pockets to support her. If he takes other wives, he has to support them equally. I would say that the man is the loser in the trade-off of sex. Do you know how much it costs to support one woman? He has to be financially able to support all wives equally, and all of his children as well, equally. No sex is worth having to pay out that amount of money, just to have up to four women he can have sex with. That's why you don't find many Muslim men exercising this right to have more than one wife. Women, Muslim or not, are too expensive to maintain for it just to be about sex.
Men, though, are a degree higher than women because they spend from their wealth to support us. So a woman being fully supported by her husband shouldn't bite the hand that feeds her, clothes her, pays her medical bills, utilities, phone, car note, insurance, etc. Would you really want to be hen-pecked by a woman whose only obligation to you is sex? She doesn't have to cook, she doesn't have to clean. All she is obligated to do is have sex with you when you want it, but you have to pay all of her bills and keep her in the lifestyle you have made for her? So, any women who would be rebellious and at odds with her husband for no reason is an idiot when otherwise she'd have to fend for herself. She would be an idiot to not keep her gravy train with a smile on her face. Muslim wives that have their own money are not obligated to spend one red cent on anything her husband is obligated to pay for, although, I share my wealth with my husband, it is a voluntary charity. If he asks to use my money, it is a loan he must repay unless I forgive the debt. And if my husband can afford a maid and I wanted one, a maid I would get. Also, men are our protectors. Have you noticed men were built superior to women in strength. There's a reason for this. Women in Islam are given their due proper. Meaning, I am the weaker-bodied sex and every woman does desire a hero to save her, support her, protect her and treat her as a delicate flower. Disney has been writing these stories all along; Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Aladdin...do I really have to go further? I mean, it is even the Christian belief that a Man is the head of his household, the protector of his flock.
Sure, I am strong, I have built privacy fences, laid ceramic and travertine tiles and hardwood floors, built a 8'x8' chicken coop, a 12'x40' greenhouse, done plumbing and electrical, but because those things are of interest to me, my husband just gets the benefit of an intelligent, capable help-mate. Doesn't Christianity speak of women being a help-mate...of course it does. I get my rights and if I feel slighted, I will speak up and express my opinion and rightly so. I don't bite my tongue, if I want something, I ask for it. I don't always get everything I want, but my husband does break his back to try to get it for me. My own father, and I love my dad, a Christian, didn't do ten percent as much for me as a child. So, I show my gratitude to my husband in any lawful way that pleases him. I'm no idiot, I know what side my bread is buttered on. Of course, like all marriages, Christian, Jewish and Muslim or any other religion, you have boneheads that have no clue what it is to be a husband or to be a wife. My husband and I do get into some pretty heated arguments like every couple, but we have the common sense to know our bounds and what each other's right are over ourselves. We respect each other, something I never witnessed in all my life as a Christian of any of my Christian family members in their marriages.
Bill: The Doctrine of Women
There are many ways in which the woman does not have full stature in Sharia law:
022.1 The necessary qualifications for being an Islamic judge are:
(a) to be a male freeman [...]
04.9 The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man.
[Bukhari 3,48,826] Mohammed asked, “Is not the value of a woman’s eyewitness testimony half that of a man’s?” A woman said, ”Yes.” He said, “That is because a woman’s mind is deficient.”
L10.3 They divide the universal share so that the male receives the portion of two females. ”
PN: Bill, first, don't think too highly of the Constitution when it said the same thing. Women in America only received equal rights in the Twentieth century, not under the original Constitution. However, I point out that you are giving examples of out of context quotes, not the whole wording. This is a deliberate setup to pose a view of what your want to be seen by the masses you consider yourself serving.So, I will provide the text for the benefit of the people.
o21.0 The Judgeshipo21.1 To undertake the Islamic judgeship is a communal obligation (def: c3.2) (O: for those capable of performing it in a particular area). If only one competent person exists who can perform it, then it is personally obligatory for him to do so. If he refuses, he is compelled to accept (O: though he is only obliged to accept the judgeship when it is in his own home area, not when it is elsewhere, for this would be like a punishment, involving as it does wholly leaving one's home). Such an individual person may not take a salary for it--(N: because in respect to him it is not permissible to take a wage for something personally obligatory, as opposed to something that is a communal obligation (A: for which accepting wage is permissible))--unless he is needy (O: in which case the Muslim common fund gives him enough to cover his expenses and those of his dependents, without wastefulness or penury. But if he agrees to judge without being paid (N: i.e. in expectation of the reward from Allah), it is better for him.
o21.2 It is permissible to have two or more judges in the same town.
o21.3 It is not valid for anyone besides the caliph (def: o25) or his representative to appoint someone as judge.
o21.4 It is permissible for two parties to select a third party to judge between them if he is competent for the judgeship (def: o22.1) (O: provided the case does not concern Allah's prescribed penalties, (A: and they may select such a person) even when a judge exists). It is obligatory for them to accept his decision on their case, though if either litigant withdraws his nomination before the third party gives his judgment, the latter may not judge.
The original Constitution states that only male freemen could have rights everyone else didn't have. However, being a Christian you of all people should understand that every prophet, Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, etc. we all males who were freemen. Now this is by decree of God, so why is it a problem that Muslims follow this tradition? This very truth upholds that men have a degree over women. God never made a woman into a prophet or judge or king. These are roles more befitting a man. The man is the head of the household and the household is a small version of the larger government, or rather the government is a larger scale of a household. In scale, only size changes, all other attributes remain the same.o22.0 The Judge and the Court
o22.1 The necessary qualifications for being an Islamic judge (qadi) are:
(a) to be a free male
(b) to have full capacity for moral answerability (taklif. Def: c8.1);
(c) to be upright (o24.2);
(d) to possess knowledge (O: of the rulings of Sacred Law, meaning by the way of personal legal reasoning (itjihad) (A: from primary texts), not merely by following a particular qualified scholar (taqlid) (A: i.e. if he follows qualified scholarship, he must know and agree with how the rulings are derived, not merely report them). Being qualified to perform legal reasoning (itjihad) requires knowledge of the rules and principles of the Koran, the sunna (A: in this context meaning the hadith, not the sunna as opposed to the obligatory), (N: as well as knowledge of scholarly consensus (ijma', def: b7)), and analogy (def: III below), together with knowing the types of each of these. (A: The knowledge of each type: below implies familiarity with subtypes and kinds, but the commentator has deemed the mention of the category as a whole sufficient to give readers a general idea.)
This section is much too long to include every listing as I will be digressing from the main point which is:
You see how you twist things, Bill? It says the qualifications to be an Islamic judge, not a judge. You deliberately left Islamic out and just put judge when this changes the whole context of what this book is saying. You aren't a Muslim, you aren't living in an Islamic State, so why does it matter you about only male freemen being an Islamic judge? What does it benefit a people of a non-Islamic State to worry about such things that have absolutely nothing to do with them? It no more concerns or conflicts with Americans than the laws of the Pygmy's or the disconnected tribes of the Amazon. There is no Caliphate anywhere on earth and only the Calipha can appoint an Islamic judge!However, here are a few examples of real live judges who are women and Muslim:
http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2011/03/16/141768.html
http://www.un.org/ecosocdev/geninfo/afrec/vol22no2/222-women-secure-more-righs.html
http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/faith-and-values/civil-religion/article_a2a9466e-e48a-5242-bb0f-5ae201ab7e44.html
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10567857
Now let's move on to the next section, which accurately states:
o4.9 (A: For the rulings below, one multiples the fraction named by the indemnity appropriate to the death or injury's type of intentionality and other relevant circumstances that determine the amount of a male Muslim's indemnity (def: o4.2-6 and o4.13).)
The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man.
The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third of the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth of that of a Muslim.
When a miscarriage results from someone having struck the stomach of a pregnant woman (O: or other part of her, or when someone frightens her, resulting in her miscarriage), the indemnity for the fetus is a male of female slave worth one-twentieth of the indemnity payable for killing the fetus's father, or one-tenth that of its mother. (A: The indemnity is whatever they agree upon.)
There you go again, Bill, making people all scared over nothing again. Duh, Bill, at what point are you going to get it? WE DO NOT LIVE IN AN ISLAMIC STATE, THERE IS NO CALIPHATE ANYWHERE ON EARTH, THEREFORE SHARI'AH LAW CANNOT BE PUT INTO EFFECT ANYWHERE ON EARTH LET ALONE AMERICA BECAUSE AMERICA IS NOT AN ISLAMIC STATE. AMERICA WOULD CEASE TO BE AMERICA IF IT WERE AN ISLAMIC STATE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE MAJORITY MUSLIM AND HAVE A CALIPHATE. THERE IS NO INTEREST OF MUSLIMS MAKING AN ISLAMIC STATE SO FAR AWAY FROM MECCA, SAUDI ARABIA. IT WOULD MAKE NO SENSE WHATSOEVER TO WANT SHARI'AH HERE WHEN IT IS NOT EVEN IN SAUDI ARABIA, THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD FOR SHARI'AH TO BE IMPLEMENTED. FYI: Saudi Arabia is a Kingdom (Dictatorship/Oligarchy), not an Islamic State.
Bill: "L10.3 They divide the universal share so that the male receives the portion of two females. ”
PN: In summary, yes this is true, but why? Because the men have to support the household. (This is a point I made earlier that one must learn Qur'an and Hadith in order to understand Shari'ah.) Therefore males would require a greater inheritance than females. If a man dies and leaves one son and three daughters and no other heirs, for instance, that one son is responsible for the full maintenance of his sisters until the sisters get married at which time their husbands would support them fully. So, it only makes sense that the males gets the greater portion of inheritance. While the sisters could spend their portions on what they wish, the brother, who is obligated to support his sisters, has to spend his inheritance on his sisters. So, as you think it is unfair for the sisters, it is in reality is probably more unfair for the brother, especially as he would have to support his widowed mother, too. The obligation on the brother to support his sisters is when there is no one in line before him to take custody. is in M13.0 under Care and Custody.
But for the people, I will relay the entire text here.
L10.3 The co-universal heir is any female deserving an obligatory share who requires someone else in order to become a universal heir, and with whom she participates in this universal share.
It is a class confined to four types of women, those whose share if alone is one-half, and if there are more than on two thirds. They are:
- X's daughter;
- X's son's daughter;
- X's full sister;
- X's half sister from the same father.
Bill Warner states, “Koran 4:11 It is in this manner that Allah commands you concerning your children: A male should receive a share equal to that of two females, [...]
This hadith equates camels, slaves and women. [Abu Dawud 11, 2155] Mohammed said: If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: “O Allah, I ask You for the good in her, and in the disposition You have given her; I take refuge in You from the evil in her, and in the disposition You have given her.” When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing. Women are inferior to men in intelligence and religion.
Bill, I cannot see how women and slaves are equated to camels. Let me make this clear that a slave of what you know of a slave, such as how Africans in America were treated is polar opposite of what a slave is in Islam. A slave in Islam is equivalent to an indentured servant, but with the rights of a sovereign. There are no more slaves in Islam. Educate yourself http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/history/slavery_1.shtml
[Bukhari 1,6,301] While on his way to pray, Mohammed passed a group of women and he said, “Ladies, give to charities and donate money to the unfortunate, because I have witnessed that most of the people in Hell are women. They asked, “Why is that?” He answered, “You swear too much, and you show no gratitude to your husbands. I have never come across anyone more lacking in intelligence, or ignorant of their religion than women. A careful and intelligent man could be misled by many of you.” They responded, “What exactly are we lacking in intelligence or faith?” Mohammed said, “Is it not true that the testimony of one man is the equal to the testimony of two women?”
After they affirmed that this was true, Mohammed said, “That illustrates that women are lacking in intelligence. Is it not also true that women may not pray nor fast during their menstrual cycle?” They said that this was also true. Mohammed then said, “That illustrates that women are lacking in their religion.”
A woman's testimony is worth half that of a man.
2:282 Believers! When you contract a loan for a certain period, write it down, or to be fair, let a scribe write it down. The scribe should not refuse to write as Allah has taught him; therefore, let the scribe record what the debtor dictates being mindful of his duty to Allah and not reducing the amount he owes. If the debtor is ignorant and unable to dictate, let his guardian do so with fairness. Call two men in to witness this, but if two men cannot be found, then call one man and two women whom you see first to be witnesses. Therefore, if either woman makes an error, the other can correct her [...] ”
Bill, many scientific studies show that men are led by logic and women are led by emotion. With logic there is only black or white, truth or falsehood. With emotion, they are one thousand shades of gray between what is perceived as truth or falsehood. This is itself is a plain explanation of how men and women function psychologically. So, if you were falsely accused of murder, would you want a witness who knew for a fact you didn't do it or someone who was so emotional, they knew you were mad at the person and aren't sure if you were guilty or not? See, emotion brings speculation it gives doubt a petri dish to set in and grow. Logic gives only a clear cut right or wrong, yes or no without any additives which may cause confusion or speculation. Emotions also is a breeding ground for fantasies and not remembering something as it actually occurred, but includes feelings and other nonsensical memories that have nothing to do with the facts. But, again you are not in an Islamic State, so remind me, again of how this would ever pertain to you.
Bill: ”Female Genital Mutilation, Female Circumcision
It is unfortunate that the term circumcision is applied to both the removal of the foreskin of the male and the removal of the clitoris of the woman. There is no comparison.
[Bukhari 7,72,,779] Mohammed said, “Five practices are characteristics of the ancient prophets: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits.”
This hadith refers to the circumcision of female genitalia. It assumes that both the man and the woman are circumcised. [Muslim 003,0684] [...] Abu Musa then said, “When is a bath obligatory?” Aisha responded, “You have asked the right person. Mohammed has said that a bath is obligatory when a man is encompassed by a woman and their circumcised genitalia touch.”
Circumcision is part of the Sharia law. Here is the deceptive translation:
e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce of the clitoris (not the clitoris itself, as some mistakenly assert).
However what the Arabic actually says is:
e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the clitoris (this is called Hufaad).”
This deceptive translation obscures the Sharia law. This deception is called taqiyya, a form of sacred deception.
At the battle of Badr, we have a reference to the custom of removing the clitoris.
I564 Hamza said, ‘Come here, you son of a female circumciser.’ Now his mother was Umm Anmar, a female circumciser (one who circumcised girls) in Mecca. Then Hamza smote him and killed him.
PN: Bill, this is what e4.3 actually says:
e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory (O: for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. Bazr) of the clitoris (n: not the clitoris itself, as some mistakenly assert). (A: Hanbalis hold that circumsion of women is not obligatory but sunna, while Hanafis consider it a mere courtesy to the husband.)
So, here we go again. First this applies to Muslim men and Women, not non-Muslims. We don't follow the Hanbalis or Hanafis School of Thought (Madhab), however, I have never had a circumcision and my husband was circumcised as a Christian at birth. The stories you read about female circumcision is a cultural thing, as you only hear about it from certain Muslim countries. Our own sons were circumcised at birth or shortly afterward and our daughters have never been cut, nor would we approve of them being cut.
Bill:
o12.0 the penalty for fornication
o12.6 If the penalty is stoning, they are to be stoned, no matter the weather, or if they are ill. A pregnant woman is not stoned until she gives birth and the child does not need to nurse.
PN: I have to put this exactly as it as written, as Bill Mayer has not done so (as usual).
o12.0 The Penalty for Fornication & Sodomy
o12.6 If the penalty is stoning, the offender is stoned even in severe heat or cold, and even if he has an illness from which his is expected to recover. A pregnant woman is not stones until she gives birth and the child can suffice with the milk of another.
PN: But Bill, you skipped this part:
o12.4 Someone who commits fornication is not punished if he says that he did not know it was unlawful, provided he is a new Muslim or grew up in a remote (O: from Islamic scholars) wilderness, though if neither is the case, such a person is punished.
This clearly is a Muslim ruling only. Non-Muslims are not subjected to our laws. And death is the penalty for adultery, not fornication.
As for fornication:
o12.5 An offender is not scourged in intense heat or bitter cold, or when he is ill and recovery is expected (until he recovers), or in a mosque, or when the offender is a woman who is pregnant, until she gives birth and has recovered. The whip used should be neither new nor old and worn-out, but something in between. The offender is not stretched out when scourged, or bound (O: as his hands a re left loose to fend off blows), or undressed (O: but rather an ankle-length shirt is left upon him or her), and the scourger does not lay the stripes on hard (O: but raising his arm, such as that he draws blood). The scourger distributed the blows over various parts of the body, avoiding vital points and the face. A man is scourged by a standing; a woman, sitting and covered (O; by a garment wrapped around her). If the offender is emaciated, or sick from an illness not expected to improve, then he or she is scouraged with a single date palm frond (O: upon which there are a hundred strips, or fifty. If a hundred, such an offender is struck once with it, and if fifty, then twice), or with the edge of a garment.
Bill, most righteous people would agree that the Bible speaks of not fornicating and adultery (sexually immoral) I Corinthians 6:9, so are you saying fornication and adultery are ok? Of course, you are unaware that these Shari'ah laws apply only to Muslims and not Non-Muslims who are in an Islamic State, right?
Other important parts you missed is:
o12.1 The legal penalty is obligatorily imposed upon anyone who fornicates or commits sodomy (A: provided it is legally established (def: n11.2(O:))) when they:
(a) have reached puberty;
(b) are sane;
(c) and commit the act voluntarily;
no matter whether the person is Muslim, non-Muslim subject of the Islamic state, or someone who has left Islam.
o12.2 If the offender is someone with the capacity to remain chaste, then he or she is stoned to death (def: o12.6), someone with the capacity to remain chaste meaning anyone who has had sexual intercourse (A: at least once) with their spouse in a valid marriage, and is free, of age, and sane. A person is not considered to have the capacity to remain chaste if he or she had only had intercourse in a marriage that is invalid, or is prepubescent at the time of marital intercourse who subsequently regains their sanity prior to committing adultery.
If the offender is not someone with the capacity to remain chaste, then the penalty consists of being scourged (def: o12.5) one hundred stripes and banished to a distance of at least 81 km./50 mi. For one year.
This is of no consequence to any American, as this is not an Islamic State.
Bill: “Honor Killing
Honor killing is not directly included in Sharia doctrine. Sharia dictates that a woman is inferior to the male and allows beatings to enforce the rule of the male, but it does not accord honor killing a legal status.
However, there is no penalty for killing an adulterer:
o5.4 There is no expiation for killing someone who has left Islam, a highwayman or a convicted married adulterer...
e12.8 ... unworthy (those who may be killed) includes ... convicted married adulterers...
This seems to include equal penalties for both men and women, however, a man has many legal ways to have sex, while the woman is strictly limited to her husband alone. Hence, the woman is much more likely to be killed.
The man rules the woman, and his status in the community depends upon how his women conduct themselves. Ghira is sacred jealousy, even Allah has ghira. Ghira is also self-respect and is the basis of honor killings.
Notice that in this hadith Saed’s threat to kill a man with his wife is not condemned, but supported. Violence in defense of a Muslim’s ghira is pure Islam.
[Bukhari 8,82,829; Bukhari 9,93,512] Saed bin Ubada said, “If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him with the blade of my sword.” This news reached Mohammed, who then said, “You people are astonished at Saed’s ghira (self-respect). By Allah, I have more ghira than he, and Allah has more ghira than I, and because of Allah’s ghira, He has made unlawful shameful deeds and sins done in open and in secret. [...]
Most honor killings come from Islamic societies. ”
PN: Wrong again, Bill, honor killings clearly defines as haram (and a grave sin). Ghira doesn't mean self-respect, it means jealousy (but not envy). Bill, even in America people are set free for killing their spouse they have caught red-handed cheating. The excuse is either "Temporary Insanity" or "Heat of Passion" and we just covered all the penalties for fornication, adultery and sodomy. Adultery is punishable by death, so the executioner is not punished for performing an execution. The catch is the Islamic Judge would have to do the actual sentencing, but without a Calipha, you cannot have an Islamic Judge, because remember only the Calipha can appoint an Islamic Judge. Without a Calipha, Shari'ah Law cannot be forced upon anyone. The only Islamic Judges today are where the people want to live under the Shari'ah in their village or town and want to have all of their affairs decided under Shari'ah, however, it is not an enforceable law in secular society. I live under the Shari'ah, but this is my law, I cannot, nor have the authority to impose my laws onto anyone. Jews live under Jewish Law, however, they do not have the authority to impose their laws onto anyone. Everyone abides by their own laws according to their beliefs and none has the right or authority to push their laws or beliefs onto anyone else...This is the very basis of the Constitution. Get it?You say about women having sex with other men, we discussed that earlier and it is unlawful to have premarital or extramarital sex, even the Bible says so in I Corithians 6:9 among other places in the Bible. I Corinthians 7:39 says, “A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.” And besides, it's just messy for a woman to have more than one man, unless you believe Jerry Springer and Maury Povich, “Who's My Baby Daddy?” shows are cosmopolitan and encourage a healthy society. We use New Testament because most Christians today are more comfortable with the New than the Old.
________________________________________________________
You know a point I really just realized I was showing here was just how close Christianity and Islam really are. If you can get past the things lost in translation and taken out of context, you would be able to see this clearly. However, it is quite possible that the Corporation has trained us so well to find the differences and division that we often cannot see what plain to see sitting right before our very eyes.
Peace
A Sad State of Affairs
While listening to my favorite nightly program, Wide Awake Radio with Charlie McGrath, I started crying. Not because I'm afraid of the SHTF, I've always known this was coming and have been always mentally prepared for it's advent, but because so many people are blind and will not even try to see this coming they will be blindsided. I feel for the children of these blind people and the amount of useless suffering that we will witness. I know some people say, don't worry about the folks who are lost, but I just can't help it. I think anyone with half a heart would agree that it will be a very pitiful state to have to watch. The countless deaths because of lawlessness, not just the public's lawlessness, but the deep-rooted evil that we have allowed to strip us of our most basic freedoms and will allow to strip us even more. The sick part about all of this is that it could have been avoided, I believe it could still, to some degree, be avoided, but people are not going to change until the calamity befalls them and sadly, many people will have to die before we are ever human again.
I think about all those innocent babies all over the world, even now they are starving to death, probably THE cruelest way to die. And all we can do is argue over which team is right and what group is wrong. The common enemy to us all is winning and we are making it so easy for him to win. Many of us are just too self-absorbed to see any kind of picture, let alone the "big picture". In these dire times, it's so easy just to give up and crawl into some hole and die. It's so easy to wish we were already dead and it will only get much worse before it ever gets any better. I think most people who believe in the Creator, by what ever name we call the Creator, and that this Creator created all things, all humans, all animals, all life, death and everything in between. So, how can we hate anything that our Creator has created? How can I hate something my Creator cared enough about to bring into existence? Am I saying I know better than my Creator and that my Creator has made a mistake? Am I saying I know better than the One who created me? I have found more religious people from all walks of life, from all faiths hate others because they are the "wrong" color, wear the "wrong" clothes, pray the "wrong" way, have the "wrong" beliefs. I have seen people of all faiths grossly misinterpret their holy books and carry on a wretched life under the guise of faith and understanding. The hypocrites are among us, no matter what group we think we belong to, the hypocrites are lurking and what do we do about it? We take the hypocrites word as truthful and the truthful person's word a lie.
When I left Christianity 14 years ago, I thought I had found a perfect community in Islam. I mean, the perfect model was established, but the actual body was devoid of anything perfected. I soon found many, many liars and hypocrites exist in every single layer of society, rich or poor, educated or illiterate. I found just as much, if not more racism, rejection and cliques than one can ever find in the Church. No matter where I go, they are there. People caught up in Nationalism and color, people who are supposed to be the best of mankind, according to what Islam actually teaches, showing the rest of the world the example of how we should live and govern ourselves. In fact, I know far too many people who have come to Islam only to come to the conclusion that they should have just remained Christian.
Why is that? Because Arabs think Islam was brought only for them and are therefore exempt from the rules, what makes this any different than what the Jews think? Or, is it because you are Somalian or Moroccan and whoever isn't, is a heathen from non-Muslims bloodlines? And those Nationalists who say they are Muslim actually wonder why God has sent wraths on their homelands? See, not every hardship is a test, sometimes it's a punishment, so look to the doing of your own hands first. I have met too many people who don't like Palestinians because they have the reputation (and most Palestinians prove this reputation to be true) of being jerks.
The only reason any non-American Muslim should have ever come to America was to make dawah (to witness to people) and the vast majority only come here to contribute to making the American society even worse than what it already was. Hypocrites! And you wonder why it was so damned easy for them to label Muslims terrorists? Hypocrites! Did you think you could fake the cause of God and your honor and dignity would be left intact? Hypocrites! It is because all honor and dignity belongs to God. You come here and worsen the society, for instance, by selling Alcohol (when you knew it was wrong to do so) to an already ignorant, down-trodden, impoverished sector of society and think you will do this with your Deen (way of life) intact?
You think you can go anywhere in this world and assist in undermining the society by bringing your self-righteous attitudes while selling the poor welfare class even more poison? You thought Philistine would not be affected by your sins? Did you think when you sold that junkie a "love rose" (a small glass pipe, with a novelty ribbon rose in it, used for smoking crack) and Chore Boy right out of your harami (sinful) stores and bodegas, you would not see it again? Did you think God's words are untrue? The man who deals in khamra (alcohol, drugs, etc.) is cursed. You thought Somalia would not be affected? Did you think Syria and Iraq would not be affected? Did you think Egypt and Yemen would not be affected? Did you think Libya would not be affected? Hypocrites! The rest of us are equal in blame and guilt because we allowed you hypocrites to come and help destroy our country from the bottom up. And we have just sat back like fools and let you infiltrate and destroy what little goodness we had left and play us all.
The criminals from the top and the criminals from the bottom met directly in the middle destroying everything decent in their paths. But do you know the slickest trick of all, you foolish Arabs*? Is that when you came to this country, got yourselves a social security number and perhaps even married to get a citizenship. You did all of this and unknowingly sold your own selves and your children into slavery...so now Arabs, we are all Abid (slaves, niggers) to the Corporation and many of your are also Hiwanat (wild animals). So, the joke is really on you! When are we going to wake up? I don't mean sit around and complain, when are we actually going to do something about the wrongs done to us, the wrongs we have done to our own selves. When it's too late? Yes, it will be the day we are dragged by the thousands into FEMA camps.
*According to hadith, any man who speaks Arabic is Arabian.

How to: Hydroponics
Of all of the methods of gardening, I keep coming back to hydroponics. Why? Well, it is the most versatile method of garden. People who live in an apartment can do this and when SHTF, you just might need the cover of a apartment to help keep your crops save from thieves. With the method of hydroponics I use, you can grow food vertically and you don't have to invest in an expensive system to accomplish this. This method is scalable both up and down which will accommodate both small spaces and larger greenhouses.
Let me say here that if you plan to have a greenhouse during SHTF, you would do better in making it a solid building structure. Rather than using greenhouse film, it would be better to cover your greenhouse in galvanized sheet metal, like roofing tin. Also, using a solar, wind or magnet power generator, you can operate grow lights and water pumps. In case you have been successful at drilling a water well, you can also connect this well to your greenhouse using inexpensive 3/4" PVC Pipe and Fittings. This method will provide water conservation by allowing plants to use only as much water as they actually need.
I can provide with a free diagram of wire and plumbing of your greenhouse, just shoot me an email of your sizing requirements and how many types of veggies you are growing and for how many people.
You can also visit my gardening page at www.babasoasis.com for more information on hydroponics.

You've Run out of Water, Now What?
So, you had it all figured out. You got 2, 500-gallon rain barrels and collected city water and bottle water, but it's getting close to a year and you're almost out. Not to mention there's been a mini drought going on so you can't collect rain water. What could you have done differently?
Well, one thing you could have done is drill a well. Now, before you get confused, drilling a well isn't what you think it is. There are innovative ways to drill a nice water well for a few bucks. Here's a guy who showed us how. We tried it and it works...our own water well with cold, fresh water that we tied into our solar water heaters and into our house's plumbing. I must admit that where we live, there is a near endless supplier of excellent drinking from a natural filtering aquifer. However, if you invest in a decent filtering system, it really doesn't matter much what aquifer you tap into where you live and you probably only have to drill down to about 30 feet or so. Here's the video:

What You Should Have in Your Pantry
Here in West Tennessee a major disaster could be an earthquake. Since we sit on The New Madrid fault line and there hasn't been a major tremble in over 100 years, it is a very realistic idea that we are due for a major rumble beneath our feet. This is not to mention the turmoil our economy is in lately. It is eminent that the dollar will crash and if you haven't been following the money, you really don't have a clue of how close a collapse really is.
Many people are saying you probably only need three (3) months worth of food and supplies in your pantry in case of a major disaster. We feel it needs to be more like one (1) year worth of food and supplies, so we are preparing for at least a year for our family, including parents and other close loved ones. You may find that you will have to prepare for some family members because they just aren't going to wake up and they will be depending on you to feed them.
Preparing, or prepping really shouldn't be an expensive chore, unless you wait until the last minute when the sledge hammer has already dropped on your head and you along with all the other people who haven't prepared are scrambling to the grocery stores. Waiting until the SHTF (Sh*T Hits the Fan) has happened will be the biggest handicap anyone can inflict on themselves. Every day is another day to prepare and you must take action..NOW.
The most basic thing every Muslim should have who is able to do so is a garden. To totally be depending on the system to get your food is simply foolish and will only make it harder for you to resist the Dajjal (Antichrist). With an even minimal garden, you can at least have something to eat when the grocery stores and market shelves go bare. Of course, there are some foodstuff you will need to stock because it is impossible or impractical to grow yourself. These foods include: flour, rice, oats, corn, barley, kamut, couscous, bulgur and other grains. If you have a Sam's Club or Costco membership, some of these items are available in bulk at a reasonable price. You can even find better prices at your local feed store. Also, try searching "Bulk Items" online for more variety of foods.
One thing you must get out of your head is eating processed or prepared foods. These foods cost too much money, money you could be using to get more food or supplies. Not to mention, the vast major of the processed foods are no good for you anyway. If you cannot cook, which should be a shame for any Muslim to say, you need to learn because running to Taco Bell or McDonald's will not be an option. When I say learn to cook, I mean learn to cook from scratch, not Hamburger Helper. You will find that if you actually start cooking this way now, when everything is way less stressful, it will be an easier transition once SHTF and you will actually save more money on your grocery bill which will in turn allow you to buy extra to put away for that rainy day.
Keep in mind that if and when the utilities grid goes down, you will not have a working refrigerator or freezer, so you have to be creative in what your store and how you store. Such as dry milk or shelf stable milk over regular refrigerated milk, dry foods in general over fresh foods. However, if you own or can purchase a dehydrator, you can purchase fresh foods or canned food and dehydrate them. Dehydrating not only extends shelf live up to a year or more, it allows you more space to store. We have actually cooked food we have dehydrated and it comes out very nicely when cooked. Anything you can think of with water content will dehydrate very well. For more detail on successful dehydrating, please view this video.
You also will need some first aid supplies which you can put together a very basic kit for about $50 which is explained here by ThePatriotNurse:
Or, you can go for a more extensive medical supply explained here. (Video is in 2 parts):
And, ahem, Sisters, here's something just for you...
Here's another video from ThePatriotNurse which can also give you some insight on what to prepare for as well. It is very serious, but a reality we must all face.
This will get you started on preparing your family and always think of your personal needs and a incorporate these into your plans.

The Republic for the united States of America
My husband and I recently joined the Republic which has re-inhabited the dormant seats of the actual Unites States. We would like to invite you to join as well, Muslim and non-Muslim. Check it out at www.republicfortheunitedstates.org.
If you are gonna be hung up on religion and think you don't have to co-exist with people who do not share the same faith and cut your own nose off, then maybe this isn't for you. If you are to continue to allow the US Corporation to dictate who you can or cannot be allies with, then ignore this and keep being sheeple. This Republic is for constitutionalists only!!!
True freedom is sovereign and endowed by God, Himself. Either you accept your rights or keep blindly handing them over to monkeys in suits.
By the way, are you still a Strawman...If you have to ask, then you are still a slave....
Want to not be a Strawman any longer?

What the *Bleep* Are You Waiting on???
My husband and I talk to many Muslims in our local community and we can't believe how many boneheads are out there. I mean really? This can't be. Most responses to the questions of "Are you preparing for an economic collapse or the New Madrid fault line we sitting on top of"? You know the answer? "Oh, Brother (Sister), Allah has me (has my back". What the???
Ok, yes, Allah has our back, but what are you doing to prepare? There are so many hadith which points to us taking action and personal responsibility for ourselves. When you are hungry, food isn't gonna just fall out of the sky. When Allah allowed Iblis to test Ayub (Job) (AS), Allah told Ayub (AS) to "Prepare yourself for a great test." Whenever the Nabi Muhmammad (SAW) went into battle, he told the Muslims to prepare themselves and make themselves strong to go into battle. Didn't the Nabi Muhammad (SAW) say that every man should teach his family to shoot an arrow, ride a horse and to swim? Is this not being prepared? Before you make Hajj, Brothers, shouldn't you have prepared at least a year's worth of sustenance for your family??? At least be mentally and spiritually prepared. I mean some of you aren't even following the basic tenets of Islam and you think you'll be spiritually strong enough to just make it by reciting Allah's name??? Give me a break. You've got to be a new fool to think like this. Why do you think Allah has given us prophecy? So we can tell people I knew that was gonna happen? I mean for real, have Muslims become so trifling and complacent that you won't even prepare something for your children to have during hard times. Is your 2-year old going to understand SubhanAllah and La Illaha Il Allah, Allahu Akbar, when he or she's crying and dying from starvation, which is a most torturous way to die???
I look at my brothers and sisters in disbelief. You are eating today, if your faith was just that strong, just stop eating and say oh Allah has me and see how long that lasts. Allah has commanded us to NOT kill ourselves, so what do you think not preparing is when you can see you are face with an eminent collapse? You know this is going to happen and all the conditions are ripe for it to happen at any time. Did you not learn anything at all from the warnings, lesson, signs, ayats of Hurricane Katrina, or are you too sheeple who think it cannot happen to you. Or, even worse, are you so caught up in the Dunya (world) that you believe life will always be as you know it to be. Do you not think Allah's words are true, do you not think Allah will send his wrath to places where you live?
These are the worst kinds of Muslims, the ones who ignore plain warning, sitting on their hands and do nothing. Ones who see an injustice done and will not open their mouths to speak against it. People who have been scared into submission to fight and protest for those who don't have a voice. And then, they will be the same ones begging after things change for the worse. These same people who say this today will be the unfaithful ones who resort to all types of haram (sin) to get a meal. When Allah sent the Wrath to an evil city, the Angels said, "but there are righteous people there who pray to You and believe in You", Allah said "begin with them". It was because those "righteous people" didn't forbid the evil and promote the good, so do you honestly believe you will be spared? Do you honesty believe you can just say you are Muslim and it will be enough?

Why is Everyone a Drama Queen???
After watching some YouTube last night, I was wondering, why are there so many drama queens? I mean have the silver screen and television infiltrated the minds of Americans to the point we can't even think straight? I'm afraid so. While it is important to be concerned and serious about preparing for any type of disaster, I'm finding most people have an idea that an economic crash or natural disaster will play out like on the big screen.
First of all, it will be dangerous, but it won't be Soylent Green, or Mad Max, or I Am Legend, or Day After Tomorrow or 28 Days or Legion, etc. I mean realistically, yes, there will be looting and there will be killing and there will be raping, but I believe most people will still have a sense of law and how to conduct themselves. If it happened the way most people think, all willy-nilly, then that would mean the whole world is barbaric and uncivilized, with no sense of decency or morals. Of course, if we as individuals are living life as if we were in a box office smash hit, then yeah, it would be just like most people think, even worse.
Civilizations have crashed to the ground before, this is not unprecedented, and what did people do? Yes, there was and will always be an element of society that are barbarians, however, most folk always just kept on living from age to age as we have done since the dawn of time. It's true, a lot of people won't make it and that's why we must prepare as best we can to make it. As Muslims, we know just giving up and dying is not an option, so when you see something coming your way, what do you do? Many Muslims think the hadith about "tying your camel" only referred to securing what you have, but we all should know by now that Islam is much more multifaceted than this. Hadith always show more than one meaning, and because of this, hadith can be and should be applied to every aspect of our lives. To believe otherwise is a gross misunderstanding and underestimation of your Deen (way of life).
I say all of this to remind everyone including myself that there is no need to panic and go to extremes, whether it be to give up altogether or to hoard and treat each other as suspect. What does Islam say about taking the middle course??? This goes for the treatment of non-Muslims as well. Believe me, I have had some nasty things spewed to me by non-Muslims, however, does this mean all non-Muslims are my enemy? No. Some non-Muslims truly do not know what to believe, but I have experienced also, many non-Muslims to be as peace-loving as I am. Most of us human beings would rather avoid conflict when at all possible. The Nabi Muhammad (SAW) has always taught us to prefer Peace over Conflict, why do we say "Salaam (Peace)" to the ignorant, why do we say "Salaam" to each other?
So, please get it out of your minds that you will have to transform into a Green Beret, Delta Force or Recon and fight in combat when the WROL or SHTF. By all means, prepare to protect yourself, but don't be a drama queen about it, it's just really not THAT serious. It's really all about augmenting your current way of living, which in reality, will be good for us all.
First of all, it will be dangerous, but it won't be Soylent Green, or Mad Max, or I Am Legend, or Day After Tomorrow or 28 Days or Legion, etc. I mean realistically, yes, there will be looting and there will be killing and there will be raping, but I believe most people will still have a sense of law and how to conduct themselves.

Why America Could Not Be a Shari'ah State
In beginning this blog, I was wondering how to start things off and I keep coming back to the worse fears many non-Muslims have...The Shari'ah. Every time I hear this fear is growing, I always laugh to myself. It seems the US Corporation has planted yet another lie into the hearts of people to keep everyone scared of everyone else. You know...Divide and Conquer. What actually surprises me is just how many people are falling for this monstrous lie.
So, here are some fundamental things that would have to happen before America could ever live under Shari'ah Rule and you will see how far off the mark this lie is.
#1. In order for any place on earth to be completely governed by Shari'ah (and there isn't one place on earth), the Muslims would have to have a Caliphate (successor). See, only the Calipha can implement Shari'ah Law as the governing rule of law. Muslims haven't had a Caliph since 1924 and America wasn't under the Shari'ah then, so what does that tell you?
#2. Unity would have to be in existence. There are at least 23 recognized sects of Islam and within those 23 sects are sub-sects. Okay, so if Muslims can't even agree on the basic tenets as a whole, how can we agree on a Caliphate? No one would agree on who the Calipha would be, which would be a whole new war within itself. This ummah (community) is too divided with nationalism, racism and classism to ever be united on something as sacred as the Caliphate.
#3. Even if upon the slim chance Muslims could unite, the Calipha would have to be a very upright Muslim. His character impeccable and his Deen (way of life) perfected. There is not one man on earth today to can meet this basic criteria.
#4. The western world is far too corrupt to be an Islamic State under Shari'ah rule. Did you know 3/4 of the population who have to be gone for this America to be put under Shari'ah rule? Do you know how un-Islamic is would be to do away with just one person, let alone 3/4 of the population? America is just too corrupt and far too secular to waste the time and energy needed to implement Shari'ah Law. It would be more befitting to take a dictatorship like Saudia Arabia and make it an Islamic State than to waste time on a whole country chock full of non-Muslims. It just doesn't make sense to skip over all the predominately Muslim countries and decide on the Shari'ah for America. Islam makes it very clear to clean up your own house and leaving others to clean their own houses. Ninety Percent (90%) of Islam is leaving off what doesn't concern you. How can you make an entire population Muslim when Qur'an (2:256) strictly states: "There is no compulsion in religion"(in Arabic: la ikrah fi'd-din).
#5 If Muslims really wanted Shari'ah here, Shari'ah would have been here before the first White Man stepped foot on the continent. Islam was here, in this land, before America existed, Shariah would have already been implement in this land if Muslims so chose for this to be, if it was even based on what the Muslims wanted in the first place.
"Dr Barry Fell, a noted New Zealand archaeologist and linguigst of Harvard University showed detailed existing evidence in his work, "Saga America" that Muslims were not only in the Americas before Columbus arrived, but very active here as well. The language of the Pima people in the South West and the Algonquian language had many words in their vocabulary that were Arabic in origin, and Islamic petroglyphs were found in places such as California.In the Inyo county of the State of California, according to Fell, there is another petroglyph that states, "Yasus bin Maria" which means in Arabic, "Jesus, son of Mary". This is not a Christian phrase; in fact, the phrase is to be found in the verses and ayahs of the Holy Quran. This glyph, as Fell believes, is centuries older than the US. In the Western states of the US he found texts, diagrams and charts engraved on rocks that were used for schooling that dated back to 700-800 C.E. The schooling was in subjects such as mathematics, history, geography, astronomy and sea navigation. The language of instruction was Kufic Arabic, from North Africa.
The German art historian, Alexander Von Wuthenau, also provides evidence that Islamic peoples were in America, in the time between 300 and 900 C.E. This was at least half a millennium before Columbus was born! Carved heads, that were described as "Moorish-looking" were dated between 300 and 900 C.E. and another group of heads dated between 900 and 1500 C.E. An artifact found in the earlier group was photographed, and when later examined was found to resemble an old man in a Fez, like the Egyptians.
Ivan Van Sertima is widely renowned for his work, "They Came Before Columbus" which showed that there was definitely contact between the ancient and early African people with the Native Americans. This and another of his works, "African Presence in Early America" both prove that there were African Muslim settlements in the Americas, before the expedition of Columbus was even conceived. His research has shown that Arab Muslim trade was active in America and one can only imagine that the marvellous culture that the Native Americans had that shared so much with Islamic teachings was of great attraction to the Muslims that came so far across the sea.
And for the record, Christopher Columbus, the man who so-called discovered America, himself declared that his impression of the Carib people (i.e., Caribbean people) were "Mohemmedans." He knew of the Mandinka presence in the New World (Muslims) and that Muslims from the West coast of Africa had settled down in the Carribean, Central, South and North America. Unlike Columbus, they had not come to enslave the populations or plunder the land; they had come to trade and they married among the Natives. Columbus further admitted that on October 21st, 1492, as he was sailing past Gibara on the coast of Cuba, he saw a mosque, and remnants of other masjids have been found in Cuba, Mexico, Texas and Nevada.
On the second voyage Columbus took to the West Indies, the people of Haiti told him that "black" people had been there before him. They showed him spears of these visitors, and further study of the metals involved in their construction showed that they could have been made only in one place: Guinea.
Another historian, P.V. Ramos, also showed in his essay in "African Presence in Early America" that the dietary regulations of the Carib were similar to Islamic teachings.
But let us say that we are wrong. Perhaps it is all just a coincidence; after all, there are no living survivors of the Native American Muslims, are they?
Wrong. And this last part is what originally drew me into this quest for knowledge: an exposé written by a Native Muslim.
Brother Mahir Abdal-Razzaaq El wrote in his account, recently posted on the Internet, about the Native Americans that were Muslims. He is of the Cherokee tribe; known as Eagle Sun Walker, and a Pipe Carrier Warrior of the Cherokees in New York. He tells of Muslim travellers that came to his land over one thousand years ago, and what is more important, existing evidence of legislation, treaties and resolutions that prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt that Muslims were in the Americas and very active. Although these documents have not been written after 1492, it is still interesting to note that Islam was in fact there. The Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1787 have the signatures of Abdel-Khak and Mohammed Bin Abdulla. According to a federal court case from the Continental Congress,
Native Muslims helped put life into the constitution.
These are a matter of record; they cannot be disputed. Go to the National Archives or the Library of Congress and see for yourself; the Treat of 1787 show that the Natives abided by an Islamic system in commerce, maritime shipping and government. The records of the State of Carolina has the Moors Sundry Act of 1790. The Cherokee Chief of 1866 was a man called Ramadhan Bin Wati. Native clothing up until 1832 was full Islamic wear. The name Tallahassee actually means," Allah will deliver you sometime in the future." In North America, there are no less than 565 names of tribes, villages, cities, mountains and other lands sites of Islamic or Arabic roots.
The truth of Islam and the truth of the Native American culture is one and the same; many people hundreds of years ago realised that. The protection of the land and of the animals; the non-wastage of resources and the non-pollution of nature are all Islamic concepts.
I finish this article with a few Native sayings. And then, I want you to tell me that Islam is not nurtured in the hearts of these people.
"Our belief is that the Great Spirit has created all things. Not just mankind but animals, all plants, all rocks, all on earth and amongst the stars with true soul. For us, all life is holy. All of nature is within us and we are part of all nature." Chief White Cloud
"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night." Crowfoot
"In the life of the Indian there was only one inevitable duty- the duty of prayer - the daily recognition of the Unseen and the Eternal." Ohiyesa"

So let's not get things twisted. I would like to add that you should be intelligent people and do your own research and this goes for the Muslims, especially. You can't force your beliefs on people, you can't force your way of life on people. Since everyone's Sovereign Right, given by God, is worship whomever they please or worship nothing at all, this is no one's place to take that right away. I can be tolerant of people who don't know any better, but Muslims, when you slander or belittle other peoples' faiths, you are only showing just how ignorant you are and how much you do not know your own Deen (way of life) and you make it just that much harder for those of us who are trying to peacefully co-exist with non-Muslims. And, I have no sympathy for what ever happens to you.
So, here are some fundamental things that would have to happen before America could ever live under Shari'ah Rule and you will see how far off the mark this lie is.
#1. In order for any place on earth to be completely governed by Shari'ah (and there isn't one place on earth), the Muslims would have to have a Caliphate (successor).

#3. Even if upon the slim chance Muslims could unite, the Calipha would have to be a very upright Muslim. His character impeccable and his Deen (way of life) perfected. There is not one man on earth today to can meet this basic criteria.

How can you make an entire population Muslim when Qur'an (2:256) strictly states: "There is no compulsion in religion"(in Arabic: la ikrah fi'd-din).
#5 If Muslims really wanted Shari'ah here, Shari'ah would have been here before the first White Man stepped foot on the continent. Islam was here, in this land, before America existed, Shariah would have already been implement in this land if Muslims so chose for this to be, if it was even based on what the Muslims wanted in the first place.
"Dr Barry Fell, a noted New Zealand archaeologist and linguigst of Harvard University showed detailed existing evidence in his work, "Saga America" that Muslims were not only in the Americas before Columbus arrived, but very active here as well. The language of the Pima people in the South West and the Algonquian language had many words in their vocabulary that were Arabic in origin, and Islamic petroglyphs were found in places such as California.In the Inyo county of the State of California, according to Fell, there is another petroglyph that states, "Yasus bin Maria" which means in Arabic, "Jesus, son of Mary". This is not a Christian phrase; in fact, the phrase is to be found in the verses and ayahs of the Holy Quran. This glyph, as Fell believes, is centuries older than the US. In the Western states of the US he found texts, diagrams and charts engraved on rocks that were used for schooling that dated back to 700-800 C.E. The schooling was in subjects such as mathematics, history, geography, astronomy and sea navigation. The language of instruction was Kufic Arabic, from North Africa.
The German art historian, Alexander Von Wuthenau, also provides evidence that Islamic peoples were in America, in the time between 300 and 900 C.E. This was at least half a millennium before Columbus was born! Carved heads, that were described as "Moorish-looking" were dated between 300 and 900 C.E. and another group of heads dated between 900 and 1500 C.E. An artifact found in the earlier group was photographed, and when later examined was found to resemble an old man in a Fez, like the Egyptians.
Ivan Van Sertima is widely renowned for his work, "They Came Before Columbus" which showed that there was definitely contact between the ancient and early African people with the Native Americans. This and another of his works, "African Presence in Early America" both prove that there were African Muslim settlements in the Americas, before the expedition of Columbus was even conceived. His research has shown that Arab Muslim trade was active in America and one can only imagine that the marvellous culture that the Native Americans had that shared so much with Islamic teachings was of great attraction to the Muslims that came so far across the sea.
And for the record, Christopher Columbus, the man who so-called discovered America, himself declared that his impression of the Carib people (i.e., Caribbean people) were "Mohemmedans." He knew of the Mandinka presence in the New World (Muslims) and that Muslims from the West coast of Africa had settled down in the Carribean, Central, South and North America. Unlike Columbus, they had not come to enslave the populations or plunder the land; they had come to trade and they married among the Natives. Columbus further admitted that on October 21st, 1492, as he was sailing past Gibara on the coast of Cuba, he saw a mosque, and remnants of other masjids have been found in Cuba, Mexico, Texas and Nevada.
On the second voyage Columbus took to the West Indies, the people of Haiti told him that "black" people had been there before him. They showed him spears of these visitors, and further study of the metals involved in their construction showed that they could have been made only in one place: Guinea.
Another historian, P.V. Ramos, also showed in his essay in "African Presence in Early America" that the dietary regulations of the Carib were similar to Islamic teachings.
But let us say that we are wrong. Perhaps it is all just a coincidence; after all, there are no living survivors of the Native American Muslims, are they?
Wrong. And this last part is what originally drew me into this quest for knowledge: an exposé written by a Native Muslim.
Brother Mahir Abdal-Razzaaq El wrote in his account, recently posted on the Internet, about the Native Americans that were Muslims. He is of the Cherokee tribe; known as Eagle Sun Walker, and a Pipe Carrier Warrior of the Cherokees in New York. He tells of Muslim travellers that came to his land over one thousand years ago, and what is more important, existing evidence of legislation, treaties and resolutions that prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt that Muslims were in the Americas and very active. Although these documents have not been written after 1492, it is still interesting to note that Islam was in fact there. The Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1787 have the signatures of Abdel-Khak and Mohammed Bin Abdulla. According to a federal court case from the Continental Congress,
Native Muslims helped put life into the constitution.
These are a matter of record; they cannot be disputed. Go to the National Archives or the Library of Congress and see for yourself; the Treat of 1787 show that the Natives abided by an Islamic system in commerce, maritime shipping and government. The records of the State of Carolina has the Moors Sundry Act of 1790. The Cherokee Chief of 1866 was a man called Ramadhan Bin Wati. Native clothing up until 1832 was full Islamic wear. The name Tallahassee actually means," Allah will deliver you sometime in the future." In North America, there are no less than 565 names of tribes, villages, cities, mountains and other lands sites of Islamic or Arabic roots.
The truth of Islam and the truth of the Native American culture is one and the same; many people hundreds of years ago realised that. The protection of the land and of the animals; the non-wastage of resources and the non-pollution of nature are all Islamic concepts.
I finish this article with a few Native sayings. And then, I want you to tell me that Islam is not nurtured in the hearts of these people.
"Our belief is that the Great Spirit has created all things. Not just mankind but animals, all plants, all rocks, all on earth and amongst the stars with true soul. For us, all life is holy. All of nature is within us and we are part of all nature." Chief White Cloud
"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night." Crowfoot
"In the life of the Indian there was only one inevitable duty- the duty of prayer - the daily recognition of the Unseen and the Eternal." Ohiyesa"

So let's not get things twisted. I would like to add that you should be intelligent people and do your own research and this goes for the Muslims, especially. You can't force your beliefs on people, you can't force your way of life on people. Since everyone's Sovereign Right, given by God, is worship whomever they please or worship nothing at all, this is no one's place to take that right away. I can be tolerant of people who don't know any better, but Muslims, when you slander or belittle other peoples' faiths, you are only showing just how ignorant you are and how much you do not know your own Deen (way of life) and you make it just that much harder for those of us who are trying to peacefully co-exist with non-Muslims. And, I have no sympathy for what ever happens to you.
