THE Sept. 11 attacks in the United States have indirectly led to some aspects of Islam becoming known in the West. Westerners, particularly Americans, suddenly wanted to know more about the religion professed by the alleged hijackers. Copies of the Holy Qur’an and other books on Islam were sold in record numbers. Despite the hate campaign against Islam, large numbers of people in the West have embraced Islam. At the same time, members of the Muslim community have been the target of frequent attacks by extremists in the West. Several Arabs and Muslims are still jailed without valid reasons. Just two weeks ago, 20 Saudis were arrested.
The US media continue to stoke the public’s anti-Islamic sentiments. An American journalist went so far as to suggest nuclear strikes on Makkah in revenge for the Sept. 11 attacks. There have also been suggestions to wipe the holy city from the map using advanced weapons. Others want to destroy the holy city, particularly the black stone, but without harming the people who live there — as the Taleban destroyed the statues of Buddha without harming the people. A newspaper described in a drawing how the Kaaba can be struck by a plane in the same manner as the World Trade Center. The Internet arguably provided the most penetrating medium for carrying out such attacks.
Surprisingly, I hear no voices of protest from religious or official circles in the Muslim world against these blatant attacks on Islam. The hate campaigners also disgrace Islam by equalizing universally respected Islamic symbols with the worldly WTC buildings.
Western attacks overstepped the boundaries of propriety when they began to attack Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. No Muslim can tolerate any attack on the Prophet, pbuh. One newspaper recently published derogatory remarks about the Prophet, pbuh, by alleging that he had broken the treaty of Hudaibiyah signed between Muslims and non-Muslims in Makkah. The paper also published a reader’s letter on its website demanding the US government warn Muslims by destroying Makkah and the black stone and so pre-empt any future terrorist attack on the United States.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) appealed to Muslims, Arabs and conscientious people all over the world to join in a campaign to force the extremist paper to apologize for its attacks on the religion.
We apologize, the Messenger of God, for the baseless charges against you by the ignorant.
In fact, I also saw on the Internet a picture of the Prophet, pbuh, on the cover of a book published in India. We have no excuse for remaining silent when prophets and religions are desecrated. The book also carried a drawing with an inverted calligraphic inscription of the name of the Prophet, pbuh, calling it his seal. I demand official and religious agencies in Muslim countries to protest to the publisher and make him withdraw all copies of the book from the market immediately and not to reprint it. If it is reprinted, it should only be after deleting things pertaining to the Prophet, pbuh. The publisher should also write immediate apologies for injuring Muslim sentiments in the media and on the Internet with an undertaking that such acts will not be repeated. If the publisher refuses to comply with these demands, we should protest officially to the Indian government. If we keep quiet about such matters, attacks against Islam based on falsification will undoubtedly increase. If we allow anyone with impunity to cast aspersions on the Prophet, pbuh, how can we plead for his intercession on our behalf on the Day of Judgment? We should not allow the enemies of Islam to tarnish his holy image by allowing them to draw his picture as their whims dictate. By this act the enemies of Islam have transgressed all limits of decency and respect for the sentiments of Muslims.
It is also distressing to learn that an Arab writer, Khalil Abdul Karim, wrote three books advancing various false claims against Islam. In the first one, Abdul Karim argues that the Holy Qur’an is the product of the imagination of the Prophet, pbuh, and not sent down by Almighty God. In the second, he makes a weak attempt to establish that the Prophet’s first wife Khadija, the peace of God be upon her, and her cousin played major roles in "fabricating" the new religion. The third is a collection of lies about the early Muslim community.
Though the books were officially withdrawn from Egyptian markets following the objection of scholars from Al-Azhar University, they are still sold secretly. And in Syria and Lebanon, they are still sold openly. I wonder why the author, who died recently, and the publisher, who was a party to the sacrilege, were not prosecuted. Why were the sales of such books permitted? Forgive us, Prophet, pbuh, for the enormity of the lies our enemies are fabricating against you. Our apologies, Prophet, pbuh, in whom is found all human perfection. God, do not punish us for what fools among us do.

e best line is destroying the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan without killing any people making it look like a good thing.
About a year ago was when the Taliban announced the policy of requiring SIkhs and Hindus to wear a saffron marker; suppose it made sense as cleanshaven hindus were being attacked by the 'religious' police.
The insane death cultists don't care if millions of their fellow believers become instant martyrs, if the trade helps to spread islam by destroying the West. They would figure that the "lucky" martyrs killed in an atomic blast benefited by getting in the speed lane to paradise.
We need to target the things which the insane death cultists DO value, and that is NOT human life.
They value the physical manifestations of allah on earth. We should let them know that if an American city is destroyed, Mecca, Medina, the "holy city" of Q'um in Iran etc will be destroyed in retaliation.
Since the insane death cultists believe that our mere missiles would be powerless to defeat the protection of allah, when mecca became a smoking crater there is a very high likelihood that the entire insane death cult, having been proven impotent, will sag and deflate like a popped balloon.
... what picture/graphics are these? ...Someone please repost them.

Living in a drea.
But I am pleased to see they are p.ssed off. That means we are doing things right and we found out the truth about islam. No thanks to Oprah!
OOps.
Also, notice under the "slurs" directed against Mohammed's wives, the writer does NOT mention that one of Mohammed's wives was *nine years old* when he married her. Doubtless that's not considered a slur.
ON RETALIATION: [Rod Dreher] It seems to me, Rich, that if an American city is nuked by terrorists, we have no choice but to respond in kind -- or we invite more of the same. But any response is fraught with crippling complications. I'd say Baghdad, Tehran and Riyadh should make the list, tout ensemble, and maybe even Damascus. As for Mecca, well, it would feel good, but we'd have every Muslim on the planet enraged unto ages of ages, and Rome would be the next target on the terrorist nuke list (ironically, Jerusalem probably has the best chance of surviving because it is sacred to all three monotheistic faiths). It occurs to me that it is insane that we're even having this conversation. It occurs to me that given the events of 9/11, and the determination and capabilities of our enemies, it is even more insane not to. God help us all.
Well, they're the ones who encouraged us to read it and study it in the hopes of that some of the more feeble minded among us would be enthralled by it and convert. They were wrong. Eyes have been opened and jaws have dropped. Mine at least. I have this urge to ask the ones i know - do you really buy this- but i'm guessing the answer would be wishy-washy. And even if they don't, very few are voicing any vocal opposition to it.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64:
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).
Also from the hadith:
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 5, Number 258:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Whenever the Prophet took the bath of Janaba (sexual relation or wet dream) he asked for the Hilab or some other scent. He used to take it in his hand, rub it first over the right side of his head and then over the left and then rub the middle of his head with both hands.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 229:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I used to wash the traces of Janaba (semen) from the clothes of the Prophet and he used to go for prayers while traces of water were still on it (water spots were still visible).
Don't believe your eyes?
Sahih Bukhari, Book 4 (Ablutions)
Sahih Bukhari, Book 5 (Bathing)
Sahih Bukhari, Book 62 (Wedlock, Marriage)

Any newspaper publishing such a drawing deserves our support ! (snicker).
