In Memoriam, Bhenazir Bhutto
BEIRUT ASSASSIN LEAVES MARK
The cocks were storm-crowing that morning
after a real long spell of total
environmental darkness.
Two broughams sped by.
(In the land of the prophets
angels speak while elsewhere
people pretend not to notice
it is the status quo.)
The clocks whirred with quick sighs
toward sunset's rosey end,
and lovers sealed Valentines
with moist lips and inspirations.
Bouquets sailed to and fro
that day, one lover after another.
Then, everything just stopped.
Windows fell apart and people ran
home, started looking.
Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out.
I looked at my watch to note
schools and airports, avenues named:
for Lincoln, Lumumba, for JFK.
The shades lingered,moved
quietly on the horizon
and the same herd of goats
crossed my path twice.
No more luck, no more money,
no more beadsmen.
The predictions are keen to usurp everyone
and the last unlucky man born will tremble
near a pitcher of water and a set of lost keys.
The invocations quiet the kinfolk
and the rich sleep ever closer
but it does take some time, perhaps forever.
The poor remain indifferent.
One man was found
two weeks later in the rubble,
pointing in one direction and holding his cell.
No one called out the dogs
because it is said the canines eat
the corpses of Sabra and Shatilla.
I wonder.. to whom was he speaking,
where was he pointing?

The Waiting
A few more minutes of this midnight
might extinguish all the cold
for an ever, this tightly guarded
citadel with precise rotations
can only take so much sunshine,
so much rain and this amount
of darkness. A few more minutes
of determination might kill
another hundred thousand people.
These restless words and books
tell those types nothing,
yet our expectations
hound us to the grave
in which those that do
relax talk to those
that don't about the waiting.
It is coming on strong mister
this Armageddon of yours.
Why did you do it?
A few more minutes in this
purgatory can't stand you up,
can't resusitate your sorries
from under this blanket
of soil and surrender.

[11.48] It was said: O Nuh! descend with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the people from among those who are with you, and there shall be nations whom We will afford provisions, then a painful punishment from Us shall afflict them.
This American Shia Muslim has her Eyes Wide Open...you know, it is hard to explain the contempt I have for non muslim people at this point in time but especially the contempt I have for American non muslim people who are ignorant not only of Islam but of their own human rights, responsibilities and loyalty to THEIR OWN COUNTRY let alone to Allah. Fact of the matter is, as a muslim, I OUGHT to support a weak leader like Hilary Clinton or Obama in order to hope for a more speedy demise of the United States of America. The conclusive demise which is absolutely, on it's way if it isn't here already. But in the end, I am an American. I only hold an American passport and therefore, I must conclude that the best thing to do is to support the best man for the job regardless of the fact that he isn't necessarily "pro" Shia as some might believe or "anti" Israel as others do. He is simply a man of his word and an American to the bone.
I do believe however that Ron Paul will most likely fail because most Americans can't pour piss out of a boot even with the instructions written on the heel. And when he does Americans have NO ONE BUT THEMSELVES TO BLAME as if..they weren't blameworthy enough already for their ignorance, apathy and failure to admit their own arrogance which is the type based on ignorance and which leads inevitably to the fall of great nations. It always has and always will.
May the best people win. And I am one hundred percent sure, they will do exactly that. In fact, they already have by making the United States look utterly ridiculous to themselves and in the eyes of the nations of the world.
"Our obsession with democracy-- which is clearly conditional, when one looks at our response to the recent Palestinian elections-- will allow the majority Shia to claim leadership title if Iraq’s election actually leads to an organized government. This delights the Iranians, who are close allies of the Iraqi Shia.
Talk about unintended consequences! This war has produced chaos, civil war, death and destruction, and huge financial costs. It has eliminated two of Iran’s worst enemies and placed power in Iraq with Iran’s best friends. Even this apparent failure of policy does nothing to restrain the current march toward a similar confrontation with Iran. What will it take for us to learn from our failures?" - Ron Paul, Republican candidate for the president of the United States of America.

My eyes have always been wide open to these things. If Americans had supported their own country in the dismantling of Saddam's regime, we wouldn't be there now. It would have been over. But NO...people who do not know what Islam says and is all about just couldn't be bothered with a "sectarian" conflict and the threat of one. To this day most people have literally no idea what the conflict is about. They could care less because non muslims in general do care less. They are careless individuals who demand proof but even when proof comes to them they remain aloof.

On the Occasion of the Prophet Isa's birth:
Perform (good) acts while you are still in the vastness of life, the books are open (for recording of actions), repentance is allowed, the runner away (from Allah) is being called and the sinner is being given hope (of forgiveness) before the (light of) action is put off, time expires, life ends, the door for repentance is closed and angels ascend to the sky.
Therefore a man should derive benefit from himself for himself, from the living for the dead, from the mortal, for the lasting and from the departer for the stayer. A man should fear Allah while he is given age to live upto his death, and is allowed time to act. A man should control his self by the rein and hold it with its bridle, thus by the rein he should prevent it from disobedience towards Allah, and by the bridle he should lead it towards obedience to Allah.
-Emir Ali ibn Abi Taleb, Commander of the Faithful and brother to the last prophet, May Allah be pleased with all of them.
Happy Holidays

A vote for ANYONE other than Ron Paul, the only candidate willing to stop the arms race in the Middle East by limiting/halting US military support of Israel, is a VOTE AGAINST RACHEL CORRIE, the young American activist that was murdered in cold blood by an Israeli Defence Forces bulldozer while trying to defend the lives and homes of Palestinians.
Think about it.
Think about it.

Depopulation and Perception Management
Former President Bill Clinton and the George Bushes have business interests in Congo. Senator Howard Baker and Brian Mulroney, former Prime Minister of Canada, are two of their many partners. Their interests in Congo, as everywhere in Africa, revolve around raw materials: diamonds and gold; Congo coffee; and strategic minerals, including tantalum, columbium-tantalite (coltan), niobium, uranium, copper and tungsten. While all are vital to globalization, militarization and the control of space, none are as critical as cobalt, an element essential to military-industrial superalloys, found in quantities in Congo as nowhere else. Cobalt's crucial role in tank armor, spacecraft, furnaces, refineries, mining, submarines, locomotives, nuclear reactors, and nuclear weapons dictates that access to Congo cobalt is a major Pentagon prerogative. As everywhere, the spoils include phenomenal reserves of oil and natural gas.
Behind local African warlords are the real players: Exxon, Unilever, Branch Energy, and Bechtel. These are secretive corporations who, with the support of the U.S., UK and French governments, fund, arm and train private mercenary armies. Players include Hans Van Lujik and Bernard Legrand of Royal Dutch Shell; General Ed Soyster of Military Professional Resources Inc. (Washington); CIA agent Lawrence Devlin; even covert U.S. forces. With their secret backers and alliances, African "leaders" like Paul Kagame and Yoweri MU.S.eveni, and their many jungle warlords, have waged war-as-cover for private profit. These proxy armies are depopulating Africa. Popular writers like Philip Gourevitch ["We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families: Stories from Rwanda", 1998] are covering it up.
Keith Harmon Snow's work has appeared in publications in the U.S., UK and Japan. In Tokyo, he was staff writer, photographer & editor at Japan International Journal. In 2000 Snow returned from his investigations of war in central Africa and "the genocide" in Rwanda. The next year he gave expert testimony, on genocide and U.S. covert operations in Africa, at a special congressional hearing in Washington D.C. He also attended the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania. This and another one of Snow's reports on Central Africa are included in Project Censored 2003, a book on the top 25 underreported news stories of 2001-2002.

Ode To Ernie Ford
Once upon a time everything
was homemade. The tortillas
down to the chocolate eclairs
the little girls and little boys
would pick their share of as they
dangled from the arm
of the chain-smoking novena plastered
mothers in pill box hats. The bread
smelted forth out a great silent
machine, round and gray towers
with a day's worth of bread.
Traded from behind the counters
of drug stores and day-old places,
full of handwritten credits.
The salesgirl's face the same
over and over from the liquor shops
to the mercantile where all the women
felt the worth of yards of gingham
with garden tended hands stuck
in apron pockets over poodle pieces
and last year's dresses
and as they fondled bolts of laundry
hung to dry out on sagging lines
nearwhere the stockyard blood
soaked into saw dust from coin-op horses,
they sang benedictions to another day
older and deeper in debt, what you get
from eight hours in the mineral graves
the new fangled loaves to six yards of eyelet.
Before the burns and infestations,
the migrations of paisley, the formation
of smokes over the Dead Sea downwind
from Cananea pleurosis-nervosis in most of us.
The commemorations, handmade and so trusted
the dusting powders and ore cars full of snuff,
Yardley Rose of Avon, poor damn Lucky Strike.
The seas too dried to part.

Obama in the eyes of Palestinians: Electronic Intifada @ here.
"Israel is "our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy," Obama said, assuring his audience that "we must preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel by fully funding military assistance and continuing work on the Arrow and related missile defense programs." Such advanced multi-billion dollar systems he asserted, would help Israel "deter missile attacks from as far as Tehran and as close as Gaza." As if the starved, besieged and traumatized population of Gaza are about to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles. "

Liar Liar Pants On Fire!
"IDF to show US nuclear data on Iran"
These arseholes just won't give up. I imagine that Allah isn't done wit 'em yet and if they do "launch" an attack against Iran, I guess there will be no option for Iran but to wipe them off the face of the map.
That's the down side of being wrong about something and going out on such an infirm family tree limb you know.
The limb breaks and the cradle falls.
And then this one just cracks me up!
"The purpose of Brown's company, Zion Oil and Gas, is to find the oil so that Israel can benefit economically, strategically - and prophetically. "
Yup...I guess since Putin and the ruskies kicked these morons out of their territory..they have to start searching REAL hard for some energy. I have a feeling if they don't change their ways...oil is going to get really hard to come by because the US cannot afford to continue to subsidize this religious hypocrisy called "israel". Man...are those people ever in a pickle!
Serves them right. Murderers. Heh...I think I'll print that photo and keep a copy in my wallet so I can have a laugh when I need it.
Poor devil. Olmert is such a wicked person and you know, he isn't even as wicked as some of the other Israeli devils in action. But you just can't beat that look of utter humiliation that that guy sports on his mug.

It is related that a companion of Amir al-mu'minin called Hammam(1) who was a man devoted to worship said to him, "O' Amir al-mu'minin, describe to me the pious man in such a way as though I see them." Amir al-mu'minin avoided the reply and said, "O' Hammam, fear Allah and perform good acts because 'Verily, Allah is with those who guard (themselves against evil), and those who do good (to others)'" (Qur'an, 16:128). Hammam was not satisfied with this and pushed him to speak. Thereupon, Amir al-mu'minin praised Allah and extolled Him and sought His blessings on the Holy Prophet and then spoke:
Now then, Allah the Glorified, the Sublime, created (the things of) creation. He created them without any need for their obedience or being safe from their sinning, because the sin of anyone who sins does not harm Him nor does the obedience of anyone who obeys Him benefit Him. He has distributed among them their livelihood, and has assigned them their positions in the world.
Thus, the God-fearing, in it are the people of distinction. Their speech is to the point, their dress is moderate and their gait is humble. They keep their eyes closed to what Allah has made unlawful for them, and they put their ears to that knowledge which is beneficial to them. They remain in the time of trials as though they remain in comfort. If there had not been fixed periods (of life) ordained for each, their spirits would not have remained in their bodies even for the twinkling of an eye because of (their) eagerness for the reward and fear of chastisement. The greatness of the Creator is seated in their heart, and, so, everything else appears small in their eyes. Thus to them Paradise is as though they see it and are enjoying its favours. To them, Hell is also as if they see it and are suffering punishment in it.
Their hearts are grieved, they are protected against evils, their bodies are thin, their needs are scanty, and their souls are chaste. They endured (hardship) for a short while, and in consequence they secured comfort for a long time. It is a beneficial transaction that Allah made easy for them. The world aimed at them, but they did not aim at it. It captured them, but they freed themselves from it by a ransom.
During a night they are upstanding on their feet reading portions of the Qur'an and reciting it in a well-measured way, creating through it grief for themselves and seeking by it the cure for their ailments. If they come across a verse creating eagerness (for Paradise) they pursue it avidly, and their spirits turn towards it eagerly, and they feel as if it is in front of them. And when they come across a verse which contains fear (of Hell) they bend the ears of their hearts towards it, and feel as though the sound of Hell and its cries are reaching their ears. They bend themselves from their backs, prostrate themselves on their foreheads, their palms, their knees and their toes, and beseech Allah, the Sublime, for their deliverance. During the day they are enduring, learned, virtuous and God-fearing. Fear (of Allah) has made them thin like arrows. If any one looks at them he believes they are sick, although they are not sick, and he says that they have gone mad. In fact, great concern (i.e., fear) has made them mad.
They are not satisfied with their meagre good acts, and do not regard their major acts as great. They always blame themselves and are afraid of their deeds. When anyone of them is spoken of highly, he says: "I know myself better than others, and my Lord knows me better than I know. O' Allah do not deal with me according to what they say, and make me better than they think of me and forgive me (those shortcomings) which they do not know."
The peculiarity of anyone of them is that you will see that he has strength in religion, determination along with leniency, faith with conviction, eagerness in (seeking) knowledge in forbearance, moderation in riches, devotion in worship, gracefulness in starvation, endurance in hardship, desire for the lawful, pleasure in guidance and hatred from greed. He performs virtuous deeds but still feels afraid. In the evening he is anxious to offer thanks (to Allah). In the morning his anxiety is to remember (Allah). He passes the night in fear and rises in the morning in joy - fear lest night is passed in forgetfulness, and joy over the favour and mercy received by him. If his self refuses to endure a thing which it does not like he does not grant its request towards what it likes. The coolness of his eye lies in what is to last for ever, while from the things (of this world) that will not last he keeps aloof. He transfuses knowledge with forbearance, and speech with action.
You will see his hopes simple, his shortcomings few, his heart fearing, his spirit contented, his meal small and simple, his religion safe, his desires dead and his anger suppressed. Good alone is expected from him. Evil from him is not to be feared. Even if he is found among those who forget (Allah) he is counted among those who remember (Him), but if he is among the rememberers he is not counted among the forgetful. He forgives him who is unjust to him, and he gives to him who deprives him. He behaves well with him who behaves ill with him.
Indecent speech is far from him, his utterance is lenient, his evils are non-existent his virtues are ever present, his good is ahead and mischief has turned its face (from him). He is dignified during calamities, patient in distresses, and thankful during ease. He does not commit excess over him whom he hates, and does not commit sin for the sake of him whom he loves. He admits truth before evidence is brought against him. He does not misappropriate what is placed in his custody, and does not forget what he is required to remember. He does not call others bad names, he does not cause harm to his neighbour, he does not feel happy at others misfortunes, he does not enter into wrong and does not go out of right.
If he is silent his silence does not grieve him, if he laughs he does not raise his voice, and if he is wronged he endures till Allah takes revenge on his behalf. His own self is in distress because of him, while the people are in ease from him. He puts himself in hardship for the sake of his next life, and makes people feel safe from himself. His keeping away from others is by way of asceticism and purification, and his nearness to those to whom he is near is by way of leniency and mercifulness. His keeping away is not by way of vanity or feeling of greatness, nor his nearness by way of deceit and cheating.
It is related that Hammam passed into a deep swoon and then expired. Then Amir al-mu'minin said: Verily, by Allah I had this fear about him. Then he added: Effective advices produce such effects on receptive minds. Someone (2) said to him: O' Amir al-mu'minin, how is it you do not receive such an effect? Amir al-mu'minin replied: Woe to you. For death there is a fixed hour which cannot be exceeded, and a cause which does not change. Now look, never repeat such talk which Satan had put on your tongue.
Now then, Allah the Glorified, the Sublime, created (the things of) creation. He created them without any need for their obedience or being safe from their sinning, because the sin of anyone who sins does not harm Him nor does the obedience of anyone who obeys Him benefit Him. He has distributed among them their livelihood, and has assigned them their positions in the world.
Thus, the God-fearing, in it are the people of distinction. Their speech is to the point, their dress is moderate and their gait is humble.

Indecent speech is far from him, his utterance is lenient, his evils are non-existent his virtues are ever present, his good is ahead and mischief has turned its face (from him). He is dignified during calamities, patient in distresses, and thankful during ease. He does not commit excess over him whom he hates, and does not commit sin for the sake of him whom he loves. He admits truth before evidence is brought against him. He does not misappropriate what is placed in his custody, and does not forget what he is required to remember. He does not call others bad names, he does not cause harm to his neighbour, he does not feel happy at others misfortunes, he does not enter into wrong and does not go out of right.
If he is silent his silence does not grieve him, if he laughs he does not raise his voice, and if he is wronged he endures till Allah takes revenge on his behalf. His own self is in distress because of him, while the people are in ease from him. He puts himself in hardship for the sake of his next life, and makes people feel safe from himself. His keeping away from others is by way of asceticism and purification, and his nearness to those to whom he is near is by way of leniency and mercifulness. His keeping away is not by way of vanity or feeling of greatness, nor his nearness by way of deceit and cheating.
It is related that Hammam passed into a deep swoon and then expired. Then Amir al-mu'minin said: Verily, by Allah I had this fear about him. Then he added: Effective advices produce such effects on receptive minds. Someone (2) said to him: O' Amir al-mu'minin, how is it you do not receive such an effect? Amir al-mu'minin replied: Woe to you. For death there is a fixed hour which cannot be exceeded, and a cause which does not change. Now look, never repeat such talk which Satan had put on your tongue.

My brother, can I bring thee back once more?What can I do? Where can I tell my woes?To whom can I recount the pain I bore?Our city is now ruled by evil foes.The world has been destroyed beyond belief.How can I live within this house of grief? - from the Battle Poem of Kerbala
An old policy goes
that you have
to get angry.
This fellow told me
to go play in the sun
which is terrible
when you think
about it, the sun.
The exile of it.
In this case
he was right
but not
because he was
all stressed out
about the pain
rather
he was just
preserving his own
exile, no way
to share in pain
so he said:
Go play in the sun.
A few weeks passed
and a few more.
He asked
if he could
still be loved
by me or anyone.
The songs he made up
about me were private
and I knew all about them.
He wondered
where anger was
because it must
be somewhere.
Not all love
feels the same
and as I drifted
home for the evening
from the dialysis center
in Douglas Arizona,
through the utter
darkness I found
his answer.
Injustice I said,
a little too late
for it to matter.
It is about injustice
and this is the exile.
There is no sun in paradise.

Zionist American Jack Abramoff hosted Mohamed Atta (of 9/11 fame) on his casino ship weeks before Humpty Dumpty took a great fall. Wha? Holy Caca Batman. Yer kidding me.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration is laying out a new secrecy defense in an effort to end a court battle about the White House visits of now-imprisoned lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Heh...that's almost as good as the one where the Bush family hosted crazy Hinkley's brother (of Jody Foster/Reagan fame) for dinner a few weeks before they tried to off the Gipper.
It's a mad mad world you know and then, you have the Clintons. Vince Foster and that missing palate...stuff like that.

[8.51] This is for what your own hands have sent on before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants;
[8.52] In the manner of the people of Firon and those before them; they disbelieved in Allah's communications, therefore Allah destroyed them on account of their faults; surely Allah is strong, severe in requiting (evil).
[8.53] This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has conferred upon a people until they change their own condition; and because Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
[8.54] In the manner of the people of Firon and those before them; they rejected the communications of their Lord, therefore We destroyed them on account of their faults and We drowned Firon's people, and they were all unjust.
[8.55] Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe.
[8.56] Those with whom you make an agreement, then they break their agreement every time and they do not guard (against punishment).
[8.57] Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by (making an example of) them those who are in their rear, that they may be mindful.
[8.58] And if you fear treachery on the part of a people, then throw back to them on terms of equality; surely Allah does not love the treacherous.
[8.59] And let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first; surely they will not escape.
[8.60] And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah's way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly.
[8.61] And if they incline to peace, then incline to it and trust in Allah; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
[8.62] And if they intend to deceive you-- then surely Allah is sufficient for you; He it is Who strengthened you with His help and with the believers
[8.63] And united their hearts; had you spent all that is in the earth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah united them; surely He is Mighty, Wise.
[8.64] O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and (for) such of the believers as follow you.
[8.65] O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand.
[8.66] For the present Allah has made light your burden, and He knows that there is weakness in you; so if there are a hundred patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand they shall overcome two thousand by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient.

Now that is interesting. The US, which bans every single American from running for president and allows only two so-called candidates to run (pre selected by the two so called political parties) against one another....seems to think it is unusual for a country to keep people with criminal records or records which reflect corruption at any level...away!
Imagine if the US kept just a FEW of the crooks out of the election process. Just a few. Imagine.
You know....it is all in how you read these stories and pose the same questions in this culture. Then and only then can you see the utter hypocrisy of the US and the complete sanity of the Iranian people, Parliment, Clerics and of course, the brilliant Mahmoud Ahmadinijad.

The Arab world, Livni told reporters Sunday, "should stop sitting on the fence."
"There isn't a single Palestinian who can reach an agreement without Arab support," she said.
Still, Livni added, "it is not the role of the Arab world to define the terms of the negotiations or take part in them."
From the Yahoo "News" Service.
Heh. Be careful "Livni" what you wish for. You might actually get your answer from places unknown. At the very least, you will get a "document" out of it.
What a moronic piece of literature.

The Sermon of the Bat
by Ali ibn Abi Taleb,
May Allah be pleased with him.
Praise be to Allah who is such that it is not possible to describe the reality of knowledge about Him, since His greatness has restrained the intellects, and therefore they cannot find the way to approach the extremity of His realm. He is Allah, the True, the Manifester of Truth. He is more True and more Manifest than eyes can see. Intellects cannot comprehend Him by fixing limits for Him since in that case to Him would be attributed shape. Imagination cannot catch Him by fixing quantities for Him for in that case to Him would be attributed body. He created creatures without any example, and without the advice of a counsel, or the assistance of a helper. His creation was completed by His command, and bowed to His obedience. It responded (to Him) and did not defy (Him). It obeyed and did not resist.
An example of His delicate production, wonderful creation and deep sagacity which He has shown us is found in these bats which keep hidden in the daylight although daylight reveals everything else, and are mobile in the night although the night shuts up every other living being; and how their eyes get dazzled and cannot make use of the light of the sun so as to be guided in their movements and so as to reach their known places through the direction provided by the sun.
Allah has prevented them from moving in the brightness of the sun and confined them to their places of hiding instead of going out at the time of its shining. Consequently they keep their eyelids down in the day and treat night as a lamp and go with its help in search of their livelihood. The darkness of night does not obstruct their sight nor does the gloom of darkness prevent them from movement. As soon as the sun removes its veil and the light of morning appears, and the rays of its light enter upon the lizards in their holes, the bats pull down their eyelids on their eyes and live on what they had collected in the darkness of the night. Glorified is He who has made the night as day for them to seek livelihood and made the day for rest and stay.
He has given them wings of flesh with which, at the time of need they rise upwards for flying. They look like the ends of ears without feathers or bones. Of course, you can see the veins quite distinctly. They have two wings which are neither too thin so that they get turned in flying, nor too thick so that they prove heavy. When they fly, their young ones hold on to them and seek refuge with them, getting down when they get down and rising up when they rise. The young does not leave them till its limbs become strong, its wings can support it for rising up, and it begins to recognise its places of living and its interest. Glorified is He who creates everything without any previous sample by someone else.

Why School of Ahlul-Bayt?
The purpose of this article is merely to demonstrate that Shia views about the special importance and the leadership of Ahlul-Bayt do not come out of the blue. In this way, I hope to contribute to better understanding among Muslims and hence help to reduce some people's hostility against the followers of the Members of the House of the Prophet (PBUH&HF).
The fact that we (Shia) have adopted a creed which differs from that of the Ash'arites as far as the fundamental beliefs are concerned, and differs from the four schools of Sunni jurists as far as the laws, rites, and observances are concerned, is not due to any sectarianism or prejudice. It is rather the theological reasoning which has led us to adopt the creed of those Imams who belong to the Ahlul-Bayt of the Holy Prophet, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF).
We have, therefore, wholly and solely bound ourselves to them in our observances as well as our beliefs; in the derivations of our knowledge of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet; and in all our material, moral and spiritual values on the grounds of theological and logical proofs. We have done this in obedience of the Holy Prophet and in submission to his Sunnah.
Had we not been convinced by these proofs to disallow all Imams except the Ahlul-Bayt, and to seek to draw near to Allah only through them, we might have inclined towards the creed of the majority for the sake of unity and fraternity. But incontrovertible reasons command a believer to follow the truth regardless of all other considerations.

My brother, can I bring thee back once more?
What can I do? Where can I tell my woes?
To whom can I recount the pain I bore?
Our city is now ruled by evil foes.
The world has been destroyed beyond belief.
How can I live within this house of grief?

Zionists to cut electricity to Palestinians in Gaza. Well sheesh, I forgot. What was Zionism again? Short version: It was a Euro-German plan to rid Europe of European Jewry (ethnic cleansing) while simultaneously using a small group of German Jewish Nationalists (the trade off) to seed themselves in Palestine in order to sell German made goods to what was then "anti Apartheid" people i.e. boycotters. It had the additional benefit of seeding a non indigenous group of athiestic-socialists in prime real estate known to harbor huge oil reserves which would be needed to support the automobile industry.
What about the indigenous peoples who actually owned the property? Well...we know what their value was to these monsters. We can see it right before our eyes and have allowed it to continue and even paid for it to continue until now. But hell....who are "we" fooling. We did this to the Indians and Mexicans.
What did Churchill say again? "A land without a people and a people without a land." I hope that old goat likes it hot.
My mother used to say, "Just wait until the chickens come home to roost."
Yup. I'd say that's about right mom.

Are Americans coining their own currency? Well, looks to me, like they are attempting to do exactly that.
What next, the plague?
"We never refer to the American Liberty as a coin," von NotHaus told The Spokesman-Review in 1999. "The word 'coin' is a government-controlled term. This is currency that is free from government control."
Since 1998 the coins have been made at Sunshine Minting, which also produces a variety of precious metal products.
"When the people own the money, they control the government," von NotHaus said. "When the government owns the money, it controls the people."
The organization reportedly was preparing to sell and distribute "Ron Paul" dollars to support the Texas congressman in his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Paul previously ran for president as a Libertarian.

I am the blossom of the X Generation now watch me go to seed. Not born in the fifties, unable to really read. This is true blue flag waving in a yellow polka dot bikini. This is me who never watched a single flick Fellini. Here I am Tonto bound a prize in a box of carmelled corn. Up on the mantle is Maya Angelou she's talking to Big Bird yet her friend Dr. Seuss thinks deterrence an itsy bit absurd. Here is a train stub from the Mighty Santa Fe, and in the drawer near the panties are Black Angus and Uncle Ray. I'm really rather hip but I'm so far quite unknown because we have Blue Jesus, a tad bit overblown.

So....this is how it works. The US pushes Musharraf and he has literally no choice. Benazir is breathing down his neck in one direction (Shia) and the Al Qada breathing down his neck which is attached to his other face on the back side of his head.
In other words: the US wants Pakistan to be a military dictatorship and if Bhutto gets her foot back in the door....more muslims than ever will realize the time for the Shia has come. She will also dismantle the nuclear bomb factory that the US has paid for there because...well...because that is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, the US and Israeli counterparts don't really want that to happen. Afterall....what will their excuse be then to spread their warmongering virulence amongst the believers?
The US tried to assassinate her. Duh. I know this is a less than artful entry but sometimes you just have to write things right on the wall and avoid all that doggerel called explanations. And trust me...she knows her days are as numbered as her own Shia father's were.
How it is in the boondocks.

The US is giving USD 30 billion in an aid package to Israel and asking for 20 billion for Saudi Arabia.
Why?
Hezbollah mostly. And their horrendous lack of knowledge about "Divine Victories" including the five thousand havoc wreaking malaika that aid those in need of defense when being bullied by evil doers.
The US Administration sees the regional threats to Israel - namely Iran, and the Hizbullah and Hamas militant groups - as threats to the United States as well, Burns said.
“We look at this region and we see that a secure and strong Israel is in the interest of the United States,” Burns said.
Oh dear. Ya gotta laugh at the morons who fight Allah don't you!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Larry King takes the lead in telling people that there are visitors to this planet. It was a great show. Ole Shirley McClain up there talking about God and all. I actually started to respect her even if she doesn't know one thing about the Malaika, the Djinns or those like herself, the Inns (human beings). Oh well...at least she realizes they are from Allah...a pretty decent start from someone who used to be a crystal gazer.
[41.53] We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?

Oh well...at least she realizes they are from Allah...a pretty decent start from someone who used to be a crystal gazer.
[41.53] We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?

Er....by the way.....Bhenazir Bhutto is a Shia. Just thought that might be interesting to mention. So what will the US do with a Sunni turned Dictator now?
What an incredible morass. If it were a movie, it would sweep the Oscars.

The Cancer From Within
A firsthand account of Evangelical Christianity within the military:
I no longer recognize the Air Force Academy as the institution I attended almost four decades earlier. At that point, I had no idea how invasive this extreme evangelical “cancer” had become throughout the entire military, that what I had witnessed was far from an isolated case of a few religious zealots.
In order to better understand this shift to a religious ideology at this once secular institution, I called the Academy Association of Graduates (AOG). Its response: “We don’t get involved in policy.” What I didn’t know was that the AOG, like the academy, had affiliations with James Dobson’s and Ted Haggard’s powerful mega-churches. When Dobson’s Focus on the Family “campus” was completed, the academy skydiving team, with great ceremony, delivered the “keys from heaven” to Dobson. During some alumni reunions, the AOG arranged bus tours of Focus on the Family facilities in nearby Colorado Springs, Colo. I also learned that the same Monday night Bible studies discussed at orientation were taught by bused-in members of these evangelical mega-churches and that some spouses of senior academy staff members were employed by these same religious institutions. It seemed that my beloved United States Air Force Academy had morphed into the Rocky Mountain Bible College.
Many are aware of the mercenary army, Blackwater USA, led by Eric Prince, former Ambassador Cofer Black and Joseph Schmitz, the same Joseph Schmitz mentioned in this article. It is here where the ties become complex and suggestive of an even grander “crusade.”

Lines of Resistance
(Mahmoud Darwish on the relevance, refinements and restrictions of politics in poetry)
"No less intriguing than this position is Darwish's manner of defending it, which echoes the youthful militant poems that first earned him the reputation of being a poet of resistance. The early poems ring with calls for defiance of Israeli efforts to uproot Palestinians from their land; Darwish's opposition to the pressure of political relevance, which is a defense against being dispossessed of private imaginative terrain, strikes the same heroic note. Even when confronting his readers, Darwish cannot help but behave as a poet of resistance, a writer who defines himself, and finds himself somewhat confined, by rhetorical acts of defiance."
"This predicament isn't Darwish's alone. In 1967, on the first day of the Six-Day War, the poet Samih al-Qasim, an Israeli Arab and a member of the Israeli Communist Party, was arrested by Israeli forces and sent to Haifa's Al Damoun prison. The experience shook al-Qasim to the core. "In prison I discovered--when the Israelis were declaring, 'Sharm el-Sheikh is in our hands, Jerusalem is in our hands'--that I had to make one of two choices," al-Qasim told British journalist Roger Hardy in 1982: "either to find a cave in the mountains, isolated from mankind, or to find a higher stage in the struggle. I lost my belief in nationalistic big words." Al-Qasim had to extricate himself from nationalism's fastened-down ideological positions while also trying to remain samid, or steadfast, a phrase coined by Palestinians to describe someone who remains attached to his or her land and culture despite imposing obstacles. The thirty-two poems collected in Sadder Than Water, the first collection of al-Qasim's poems to be published in an English-language translation, suggest that the task has been arduous. Although al-Qasim has managed to escape from the prison of nationalism--"beware the rights of rhetoric dancing on blood," he warns in the volume's title poem--remaining samid has landed him in an open-air cell of sadness, melancholy and absurdity, one from which there appears to be no way out. As the escape artist of "The Tragedy of Houdini the Miraculous" explains, "And here's the knottiest problem of all:/Entry or exit?" "

Musician and World Renowned Herbalist Michael Moore
Hard to believe...I've met this man and washed his feet. Come home Micheal Moore, come on home. We still have things to discuss. Get well fast.
"Michael has been dealing with worsening chronic ill health, including serious renal and cardiac concerns for the last few years. In the latter part of 2006 he suffered a series of major setbacks requiring hospitalization, surgery, intensive care and rehab as well as machine hemodialysis. On top of major physical and financial hardships, this has disrupted his primary goal of completing the process of distilling all his teachings into a video format for online distribution. Happily, Michael is out of immediate danger and returning to Bisbee, but there is much to be done. You can help, by donating now and spreading the word."

Mystic Odes #8
Our death is our wedding with eternity.
What is the secret? "God is One."
The sunlight splits when entering the windows of the house.
This multiplicity exists in the cluster of grapes;
It is not in the juice made from the grapes.
For he who is living in the Light of God,
The death of the carnal soul is a blessing.
Regarding him, say neither bad nor good,
For he is gone beyond the good and the bad.
Fix your eyes on God and do not talk about what is invisible,
So that he may place another look in your eyes.
It is in the vision of the physical eyes
That no invisible or secret thing exists.
But when the eye is turned toward the Light of God
What thing could remain hidden under such a Light?
Although all lights emanate from the Divine Light
Don't call all these lights "the Light of God";
It is the eternal light which is the Light of God,
The ephemeral light is an attribute of the body and the flesh.
...Oh God who gives the grace of vision!
The bird of vision is flying towards You with the wings of desire.

Ho hum...the US always trying to tell everyone who the bad guys are. Oddly enough, most people know they are the bad guys. It's kind of funny to watch liars lie. Sort of anyway. Kind of like watching them when they abandon each other. Strange times and for us, the future is oh so bright. If only people knew.

"We come from a family of campers, we are honor bound." -Darla Whitehead, "The Divers, the Drowned and the Delivered" in The Book of Warnings
A small group of white tail deer (and a fawn!) at my window, 4:45 a.m. It is fall in Bisbee, Arizona. So now I know who ate the coleus....and I thought it was a mole. They stay up in the higher ranges in summer and come down about now to escape the colder climates up there. As for the mountain lion that likes to hang out across the street...well....who's asking. But I do watch my back and I'm sure the deer do too.
And last night, my sister gave me a house for my birthday. She enticed me with a fine lunch up at Broken Toe in Cave Creek (an old Apache hangout) in order to bless and surprise me with my own set of camping gear: tent, canopy, Coleman stove, water jugs, percolator, an entire kitchen sink (so I suppose I cannot say she gave me everything but the kitchen sink), utensils, pots and pans and most importantly, my very own Skippy.
A Skippy is a big flashlight one uses to traipse through lion and bear country at night in order to go to the bathroom.
I reminded her however that she had already given me this gift once before. On about my twelfth birthday....she gave me a back pack, a sterno stove and a set of hiking pans. She had forgotten about that and I told her how Lisa and I used to go up in the hills and assemble my little sterno grill and heat up a can of Chili prior to bedding down in her old pup tent which we'd lug up the hills behind our house in order to spend a night under the stars.
I can hardly wait to use this stuff. My very own house.
Thank you Radical Ann. Thank you very, very much. Thank you for baking my very favorite thing: Your Poppy Seed cake. No one can make a poppy seed cake like that and no one should...it's all mine. You shouldn't have but...I'm glad you did. Very. I love you too.

"Advice: learn poems so that you don't have to write them." -The Book of Warnings, D. Whitehead
This pretty life is death's comma
and we are between, constructing
the darkest layer in the top soils
over which the eagle flies
with the owl, as same as the bug.
Once I stood on a reservation
for our tribes and thought.
The wild wisdoms entered
like drugs with the cackle
of gypsies and caw of old birds
into the earth's big recorder.
When suddenly! Like that!
The newest grand canyon opened
her secret vaults to receive
the sound and reek of vomit from the throat
of a drunkard who turned in
and then sped away.
Ah, the stories the rocks will tell!
Welcome to Islamic America
[2.113] And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything (good) and the Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything (good) while they recite the (same) Book. Even thus say those who have no knowledge (not just us or not just the Quran but they say it themselves), like to what they say; so Allah shall judge between them on the day of resurrection in what they differ.
And no...we don't feel sorry for the Jews. We don't have to. It's their problem now to explain all the little hidden details they've kept from everyone for so long....like the fact that they leave their religious legacy to their own children while depriving the rest of you, your own legacy.
In Islam, what you leave to your children isn't only money. Shia Islam dictates that the most important thing of all to leave to your children is your religion and the best indicator of a man's worth is the manner in which he is held in esteem by his sons and daughters after he dies.
How many non muslims ever think about this anymore? Lots probably but what exactly are they able to leave them?
A mixed bag of borrowed and falsified notions about religion. It is time to reconsider what you have left to your children. It is time to reform yourselves and your progeny and my best advice...start now.
How?
Easy.
Tell them there is only one Allah and that one Allah has only one philosophy. How could it be otherwise?
Then....let nature take its course. I am always dumbfounded to meet people who are already abiding by most of what Islam says whether they know it or not. Most people think it is too hard to adapt to the "Islamic" way of life. Well, it isn't and in fact, it gives a person tremendous freedom.
Why else do you think they made people in the world hate it so much? Because "they" i.e. the devils (shaitans) on the planet knew the power of Islam. It frees individuals from so many things and isn't at all what people think. It frees entire countries from oppression and from the choke-hold drugs and alcohol have on so many in America right now. Free yourself from those things and you'll find most of the other problems will rapidly disappear. It is as simple as that for most people and it is one of the primary reasons the intelligent opt not to become muslims...because they worship their booze so reverently...or their crack, or their crank, or their Oxycontin or their Ecstasy....all intoxicants are the same you know..there aren't separate types...that is a big, fat lie. Unfortunately however it is the main reason most people don't hear the truth. How can they? They are drunk. And organizations like AA spread a completely erroneous assumption i.e. that there are those "that can" and those "that can't". I assure you, that devil nourishes himself aplenty on everything from the juice to the weed, from the crystal to the pills. I ought to know...I used to be one of those people "who couldn't" and found out that "I can" give it up and live a completely happy life without such things as hangovers, car accidents and family strife.
Islam is a way of life and a way of achieving happiness in this life while simultaneously, insuring the next. Unlike Christianity (and all other strategies) which denies human beings all sorts of human rights in this life in order to guarantee the next and fails to tell a person HOW to worship Allah. A person has to know how to worship you know. You cannot just clap and sing any old way you want to.
As for those who don't fit into this scenario? Well...that is their problem. Not ours and not anyone elses. Let them eat cake you know. And let Allah be just to them if that is what Allah wants to do.
It isn't our business.
Some other notable shaitans easily shackled and detained:
[2.268] Shaitan threatens you with poverty and enjoins you to be niggardly, and Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and abundance; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.
[5.91] The Shaitan only desires to cause enmity and hatred to spring in your midst by means of intoxicants and games of chance, and to keep you off from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you then desist?
[7.20] But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to them that he might make manifest to them what had been hidden from them of their evil inclinations, and he said: Your Lord has not forbidden you this tree (sex/knowledge) except that you may not both become two angels or that you may (not) become of the immortals.
[14.22] And the Shaitan shall say after the affair is decided: Surely Allah promised you the promise of truth, and I gave you promises, then failed to keep them to you, and I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me, therefore do not blame me but blame yourselves: I cannot be your aider (now) nor can you be my aiders; surely I disbelieved in your associating me with Allah before; surely it is the unjust that shall have the painful punishment.
The entire last sura of the Quran which is addressed soley to human beings and called The People or Inns (as opposed to shaitans which are called Jinns):
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men,The King of men, The God of men, From the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (Shaitan), Who whispers into the hearts of men, From among the jinn and the men.
Which is basically....what Adam and Eve were told the very first time. It wasn't about sex and it wasn't about knowledge. It was merely not to listen to bad advice. No more and no less. Believe it or not...there is only one commandment...not ten and not 613 (Judaism). There is only one and that is it. If you follow only that one Golden rule...you'll be just fine.
What is really important to know about all of this is, you cannot judge Islam by judging what the "known" muslims do, say or think. They are like all human beings and think and say a variety of things. Some good and some not so good. And be sure that it isn't about the Jews. Sure, the Jews would like people to think it is only about them but it isn't. Not at all. They were the very first people invited to Islam...they just didn't want to join. They wanted to be Jewish and that is their business.
I assure you...no one can be a Jew unless they are Jewish. Just look at Israel. Why do you suppose that is? Well....a couple of reasons actually..this religious ethnic bigotry. The most important one is probably contained in the story of Samson's hair which you can read about here on Wikipedia (good enough for the average Biblical scholar nowdays) and oddly enough...his hair was akin to the alcohol and the pork. So there you have that aspect of things....cut the hair and no longer will you have your power. Yeah...right. Secondly, the state of Israel has benefited solely from its ethnic identity so it serves to reason...they do not want to share what it is they think they have and that is control. Not only that, the formation of such an ethnically bigoted state with such unprecendented backing from a world power has set up a situation in which every little minority (from Tibet to the Kurds) wants exactly the same thing..their own private little country. I assure you..they do not have exclusive power nor do they have a special power nor are they particularly suited to spreading religious enlightenment.. Allah is mighty, not mankind and not Jews and not even muslims. Allah. It's about Allah, not about the Zionist Multimedia Corporation which exists solely to "aggrandize" Jews per one famous child of Holocaust survivors who is named Norman Finkelstein. *Nor is power with the MIC, Military Industrial War Complex either. That's just a pure fiction (literally conconcted to make people believe in such fancy dan modernist sociological dilemmas) just like the crucifiction. Why else do you think they callled it that and spelled it "fixion" instead of "fiction"? They all thought they could get away with a little white lie as long as they told the truth somewhere in between the lines...heh. So wake up and quit playing their rotten game. Wake up...time to get up now Rip Van Winkles of the world.
To be fair, the muslims are often not much better at sharing the power. That would be, the Al Qaeda mentality. No one but us knows the truth. Well...no. I don't think so. Anyone who murders other people for unjust reasons will burn in hell. That is a given and it matters not if they are muslim or athiest. Once again however, the power is with Allah, not mankind and not with any given ethnicity (Dead White Guys either).
I ran into a statement from a muslim who was all upset about one of those great little anti muslim hate sites. He wanted to mount an offensive.
I said, "Why?"
Aren't you already on the winning team? Do you not know that victory is with Allah?
Well. There you go. Even muslims have a few misconceptions about Kingdom Come. And they are always willing to "spread the Good News" but it isn't at all Good. Good News is different. It sounds like this:
There will be no war with Iran. Nada. It will go pfft just like all rotten ideas go pfft.
Islam on the other hand...is here to stay. It ain't goin' nowhere. Trust me on that one. Trust your eyes and listen to your hearts. I know they are talking to everyone just about now. And as for the Jews....come on in. Then we can all work on this thing together.
[2.113] And the Jews say: The Christians do not follow anything (good) and the Christians say: The Jews do not follow anything (good) while they recite the (same) Book. Even thus say those who have no knowledge (not just us or not just the Quran but they say it themselves), like to what they say; so Allah shall judge between them on the day of resurrection in what they differ.
[2.143] And thus We have made you a medium (just) nation that you may be the bearers of witness to the people and (that) the Apostle may be a bearer of witness to you; and We did not make that which you would have to be the qiblah (Jerusalem versus Mecca) but that We might distinguish him who follows the Apostle from him who turns back upon his heels, and this was surely hard except for those whom Allah has guided aright; and Allah was not going to make your faith to be fruitless; most surely Allah is Affectionate, Merciful to the people.
[2.213] (All) people are a single nation; so Allah raised prophets as bearers of good news and as warners, and He revealed with them the Book with truth, that it might judge between people in that in which they differed; and none but the very people who were given it differed about it after clear arguments had come to them (Jesus, Isa SA), revolting among themselves; so Allah has guided by His will those who believe to the truth about which they differed and Allah guides whom He pleases to the right path.
And no...we don't feel sorry for the Jews. We don't have to. It's their problem now to explain all the little hidden details they've kept from everyone for so long....like the fact that they leave their religious legacy to their own children while depriving the rest of you, your own legacy.
(7:34) And for every nation there is a doom, so when their doom is come they shall not remain behind the least while, nor shall they go before. He will say: Enter into fire among the nations that have passed away before you from among jinn and men; whenever a nation shall enter, it shall curse its sister, until when they have all come up with one another into it; the last of them shall say with regard to the foremost of them: Our Lord! these led us astray therefore give them a double chastisement of the fire. He will say: Every one shall have double but you do not know. And We divided them into twelve tribes, as nations; and We revealed to Musa when his people asked him for water: Strike the rock with your staff, so outnowed from it twelve springs; each tribe knew its drinking place; and We made the clouds to give shade over them and We sent to them manna and quails: Eat of the good things We have given you. And they did not do Us any harm, but they did injustice to their own souls.
In Islam, what you leave to your children isn't only money. Shia Islam dictates that the most important thing of all to leave to your children is your religion and the best indicator of a man's worth is the manner in which he is held in esteem by his sons and daughters after he dies.

How?
Easy.
Tell them there is only one Allah and that one Allah has only one philosophy. How could it be otherwise?
Say: He, Allah, is One. Allah is He on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And none is like Him.
Then....let nature take its course. I am always dumbfounded to meet people who are already abiding by most of what Islam says whether they know it or not. Most people think it is too hard to adapt to the "Islamic" way of life. Well, it isn't and in fact, it gives a person tremendous freedom.

I assure you...no one can be a Jew unless they are Jewish. Just look at Israel. Why do you suppose that is? Well....a couple of reasons actually..this religious ethnic bigotry. The most important one is probably contained in the story of Samson's hair which you can read about here on Wikipedia (good enough for the average Biblical scholar nowdays) and oddly enough...his hair was akin to the alcohol and the pork. So there you have that aspect of things....cut the hair and no longer will you have your power. Yeah...right. Secondly, the state of Israel has benefited solely from its ethnic identity so it serves to reason...they do not want to share what it is they think they have and that is control. Not only that, the formation of such an ethnically bigoted state with such unprecendented backing from a world power has set up a situation in which every little minority (from Tibet to the Kurds) wants exactly the same thing..their own private little country. I assure you..they do not have exclusive power nor do they have a special power nor are they particularly suited to spreading religious enlightenment.. Allah is mighty, not mankind and not Jews and not even muslims. Allah. It's about Allah, not about the Zionist Multimedia Corporation which exists solely to "aggrandize" Jews per one famous child of Holocaust survivors who is named Norman Finkelstein. *Nor is power with the MIC, Military Industrial War Complex either. That's just a pure fiction (literally conconcted to make people believe in such fancy dan modernist sociological dilemmas) just like the crucifiction. Why else do you think they callled it that and spelled it "fixion" instead of "fiction"? They all thought they could get away with a little white lie as long as they told the truth somewhere in between the lines...heh. So wake up and quit playing their rotten game. Wake up...time to get up now Rip Van Winkles of the world.
To be fair, the muslims are often not much better at sharing the power. That would be, the Al Qaeda mentality. No one but us knows the truth. Well...no. I don't think so. Anyone who murders other people for unjust reasons will burn in hell. That is a given and it matters not if they are muslim or athiest. Once again however, the power is with Allah, not mankind and not with any given ethnicity (Dead White Guys either).
I ran into a statement from a muslim who was all upset about one of those great little anti muslim hate sites. He wanted to mount an offensive.
I said, "Why?"
Aren't you already on the winning team? Do you not know that victory is with Allah?
Well. There you go. Even muslims have a few misconceptions about Kingdom Come. And they are always willing to "spread the Good News" but it isn't at all Good. Good News is different. It sounds like this:
There will be no war with Iran. Nada. It will go pfft just like all rotten ideas go pfft.
Islam on the other hand...is here to stay. It ain't goin' nowhere. Trust me on that one. Trust your eyes and listen to your hearts. I know they are talking to everyone just about now. And as for the Jews....come on in. Then we can all work on this thing together.
[10.49] Say: I do not control for myself any harm, or any benefit except what Allah pleases; every nation has a term; when their term comes, they shall not then remain behind for an hour, nor can they go before (their time).
America cannot remain behind as it is for even an hour (it is going to change and fast...in fact it already is) and the Shia nation in Iran will not be dissolved before its time is due and that time is...well...I ain't gonna tell you when. It is how it is regardless of what the Zionist(utopians) neocons and Zionist Jews in Israel and the media try to tell you about it.
And that is actually what good news is all about. Even though some who hate Allah like to follow this ornery and obstinate Shaitan called the Press.
Stop the press. Tell all your friends and I assure you, you can guarantee this information with your life. You will so impress them with your powers of prediction. Heh, how do you think Sayyed Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Hezbollah can make all the promises he makes and keep them eh? Even Israeli Zionists trust him hahaha. And remember, everybody loves a winner.
Schumer, Bolton, Mukasey: It is interesting to watch devils as they desert one another in hard times. All of them work for Israel. All of them are evil and I swear, I can see little black hats on their heads even though I know none are there. They remind me of the Pharisees and the Sadduccees. Because...they are.
Good News: There won't be a war with Iran. We Shia have known that for some time. Thing is, the Western Media (Zionist) hopes to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Don't buy it. Iran never wanted a nuclear bomb, isn't building a nuclear bomb and actually stake their reputation on that promise. Not with mankind but with Allah. You see...that is the difference. As for Lebanon...well that is another story. Just like the US did the last time they held a proxy war with Iran (Gulf War One which is also known as the Iran/Iraq War*) and could not win, they sought victory in a smaller country and so-called client state of Iran and started the Lebanese Civil War, they are trying exactly the same strategy this time around. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The good thing is however....those different results are never what the insane expect and this time around, expect an Islamic State in Lebanon. Although this is a far fetched idea, it is still "on the table" so to speak with the Shia.

What exactly is a ceasefire?
A ceasefire is alot of things. One thing it is not is an agreement to disarm either side in a conflict.
For whatever reason however, news agencies do not inform readers of this salient detail and insist on promoting an ideology that is not only false but leads people to believe that certain parties in armed conflicts have less rights than others to defend themselves. Usually....the Arab parties whereas Israel can do whatever Israel wants as long as it is meant to kill Arabs. Go figure:
"Ban said there has been no progress the disarmament of Hezbollah and other militias, although he sees this as essential to fully restoring government authority throughout the country. The current political crisis in Lebanon has hindered efforts to implement the resolution."
I'll tell you what is essential in my estimation. Remove the cause for the need for civilians to arm themself against an oppressor and there will be no more need for disarmament. That cause is US backing for the fascist state known as Israel and let the natural course for this disruption in world peace to ensue.

In some of the days of Siffin (an early battle between Aisha (the so called baby bride of the last and blessed prophet Mohamed, May Allah have mercy upon her and forgive her her grave error) and the forces of Ali (May Allah be pleased with him and his progeny) Amir al-mu'minin said to his followers about ways of fighting:
O' crowd of Muslims! Make fear of Allah the routine of your life. Cover yourselves with peace of mind and clinch your teeth because this makes the sword slip off from the skull. Complete your armour and shake your swords in their sheathes before showing them out. Have your eyes on the enemy. Use your spears on both sides and strike (the enemy) with swords. Keep in mind that you are before Allah and in the company of the Prophet's cousin. Repeat your attacks and feel ashamed of running away, because it is a shame for posterity and (cause of awarding you) fire on the Day of Judgement. Give your lives (to Allah) willingly and walk towards death with ease. Beware of this great majority, and the pitched tent and aim at its centre because Satan is hiding in its cornet. He has extended his hand for assault and has kept back his foot for running away. Keep on enduring till the light of Truth dawns upon you.
While ye have the upper hand, and Allah is with you, and never will He depreciate your deeds. (Qur'an, 47:35)
