As we entered the tunnel, my children and I, we merged into the overwhelming force of power when a people rise united under the flag for justice. The air was over flowing with euphoria. I call it the Ummah power; for our marching, chanting and breathing became one body and mind, with the collective adrenaline continuously energising our resolve to get through the many obstacles of weather, batons and blocks.
As I turned to my friend, her face reflecting my own thoughts, I said; just think if we died now, would we be shaheeds? Continue reading For Gazans, there is no tunnel to walk out from

What use is there for a ceasefire which strengthens the grip of the Israeli blockade of Gaza? Hamas must not accept this gimmick of a ceasefire. Better to die as defiant human beings than live as caged animals, left to slowly wither away.
The apparent Egyptian ceasefire proposal is to destroy ’smuggling’ tunnels between Gaza and Egypt, and the international enforcement of this, plus the stopping of rockets fired into Israel. In return, Israel will stop the attacks and invasion. That also just happens to be the war aims of Israel! Continue reading Cry ‘havoc!’ and let loose the dogs of war

We should all know the President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez who whilst delivering a speech at the UN General Assembly in 2006 said: “The devil came here yesterday,” referring to Bush’s address the day before. And making the sign of the cross added, “He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world.” He has done something that no other nation (sadly including the theifdoms we all call Muslim countries) has dared to do thus far.
President Chavez has expelled the Israeli ambassador Continue reading Hugo the Brave

Last night I tuned on to the Qatar based news channel Aljazeera. They were interviewing some people who managed to get away from the butchery of the Zionists. One particular interview of a Palestinian woman was very upsetting. The sister cried out in desperation to the world, particularly to the Arab leaders, for help saying, ‘where are the so called great Arab leaders we learnt about in classrooms?’ ‘Why have they not come to our rescue?’ ‘What have we done to deserve this?’ ‘Is Palestinian blood so cheap?!’
This reminded me of the famous story of Mu’tasim Billah. A celebrated example of a Muslim ruler defending Islam and the honor of Muslim men and women. Imam ibn Athir records in ‘Kamil’ the story of a Muslim woman who was captured by the Romans and held in a place named ‘Amuriyyah. Not content with only capturing her they tried to dishonor her. Continue reading Wa Mu’tasima! ‘Oh Mu’tasim’

It is nearly two weeks and nearly 600 people have been killed. Yet our government still does not condemn the Zionist terrorist state of Israel.
The MCB has taken a principled stand that it will meet with the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary to air its views and concerns. Whilst the government machinery works tirelessly to ‘manage’ the Muslim leadership through junior ministerial meetings, the MCB has chosen to ignore this crass management and stood its ground for a meeting at the highest levels. An action that has brought it much credibility and dignity amongst the Muslim masses. Continue reading It’s foreign policy stupid!

Today, I had to recuperate (back pain) after Saturday’s demonstration in Trafalgar Square attended by 50,000 people followed by the protest at the Zionist entity’s embassy. I wondered, if I am feeling like this with such a small effort, what about the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza.
To make things worse, I turned on the TV to see a completely biased version of this savage Nazi like assault on Gaza which really got my blood boiling. A homemade rocket is launched in retaliation for the hundreds of American made and supplied missiles, fired from American made F16s that kills innocent children and civilians – and you have the entire Western media machine clamouring to speak to the women whose house the rocket landed near!
It also turns out that the missiles being fired by the Zionists are a new weapon that explodes causing little apparent damage to the buildings but surgically cuts through human flesh and bones Continue reading Facing the enemy to die
