U.S. Muslim leaders forbid aid to troops
Islamic jurists decree giving soldiers food 'not permissible'

American Muslims are banned from helping U.S. soldiers deployed in
Afghanistan, Iraq and other "Muslim lands," according to a shocking
fatwa, or religious decree, recently issued by American-based Islamic
jurists.
One of the most respected Islamic law authorities in America has
decreed it is "not permissible" for even Muslims who are citizens of
America to send food or other aid to American troops serving in those
Muslim countries.
The Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America, or AMJA, ruled it is a "sin"
to help the U.S. military in its multi-front war on terror. AMJA
delivered the ruling through its online "fatwa bank":
"Q: Is it permissible to participate in taking food to the American and foreign soldiers working in Muslim lands?"
"A: That would not be permissible, for that would be helping others in sin and transgression."
Critics warn that such anti-military views by Muslim scholars have translated into homegrown violence against American soldiers.
Another American cleric, Anwar Awlaki, has decreed that the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan are crimes against Muslims and has warned fellow
Muslim Americans not to serve in the U.S. military or support U.S.
military efforts in any way. Recently, he has issued fatwas declaring
U.S. troops and military bases open target for jihad.
The Fort Dix Six terrorists cited Awlaki's sermons as a prime
motivating factor in their plot to attack Army personnel based at the
New Jersey post.
"He gave the fatwa," Muslim terrorist Dritan Duka of New Jersey said of Awlaki. "Hit them (American soldiers) here" in the U.S.
In a series of e-mail exchanges, Awlaki personally counseled Army Maj.
Nidal Malik Hasan, the accused Fort Hood terrorist, who railed against
the Iraq and Afghanistan wars during a PowerPoint presentation to Army
colleagues. He also praised a deadly 2009 attack on an Army recruiting
station in Arkansas by a Muslim American.
Hasan in late 2008 and early 2009 had asked Awlaki "about killing
American soldiers and officers and whether that was legitimate or not."
In response, Awlaki gave his blessing to such attacks.
After the Fort Hood massacre, Awlaki declared Hasan a "hero" and
exhorted other Muslim soldiers to "follow the footsteps of men like
Nidal." Awlaki's sermons are recorded on CDs and sold as box sets at
mosques and Islamic bookstores across America.
Another popular American Muslim cleric, Zaid Shakir, who is still
preaching in America, has encouraged Muslims to attack U.S. military
planes flying in and out of Fort Bragg, N.C., according to the book,
"Muslim Mafia," an expose of the radical Muslim Brotherhood and its
front groups in America. Shakir is a regular speaker at Council on
American-Islamic Relations events.
Terror expert Paul Sperry, author of "Infiltration" and "Muslim Mafia,"
says AMJA is top-heavy with radical Muslim Brotherhood leaders posing
as moderates.
He notes that many of its jurists teach Islam at the radical
Saudi-funded American Open University, a fully accredited satellite
campus of the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled Al-Azhar University in
Egypt.
One prominent AMJA jurist listed is Sheik Omar Shahin, an admitted
former supporter of Osama bin Laden and the ringleader of the so-called
Flying Imams who disrupted a US Airways flight in 2006.
The Muslim Brotherhood promulgates the strict Islamic code known as Shariah.
"Bringing about the enforcement of the Divine Law (Shariah) and the
abolition of man-made laws cannot be achieved only through preaching,"
the late Muslim Brotherhood leader Sayyid Qutb of Egypt beseeched
followers in his book "Milestones." "When obstacles and practical
difficulties are put in its way, it has no recourse but to remove them
by force."
"Islam has the right to destroy all obstacles in the form of
institutions and traditions. It is the duty of Islam to annihilate all
such systems," Qutb argued. "Wherever an Islamic community exists which
is a concrete example of the Divinely ordained system of life, it has a
God-given right to step forward and take control of the political
authority so that it may establish the Divine system on earth."
AMJA has called for reviving the call to "Shariah rule."
"Muslims are to be ruled and governed only by the Shariah," it says in one recent fatwa.
Critics say many of its rulings are misogynistic, oppressing women's rights and micromanaging every aspect of their lives.
According to AMJA's fatwas, Muslim women living in America are prohibited from:
*
Growing their fingernails or using nail polish;
*
Plucking their eyebrows;
*
Showing their hair in public;
*
Wearing jeans in public;
*
Handling the Quran during menstruation, or praying in the mosque during menstruation;
*
Traveling without a male escort who is a close relative;
*
Resisting their husband's sexual advances outside of the menstrual period;
*
Praying in close proximity to men in the mosque or anywhere near the front of the prayer room;
*
Swimming or sunbathing in a bathing suit even in a women-only area;
*
Undergoing surgical contraception such as tubal ligation;
*
Running for political office;
*
Posting photos of themselves on Facebook or MySpace.
"Women are Satan's snare," AMJA says.
AMJA supports Shariah punishment including "lashing" women who have
premarital sex (zina) and "stoning" those who have sex outside their
marriage.
"We should emphasize here that the way out of these problems in this
day and age is to judge by Shariah and to implement the Divinely
ordained criminal punishments (hudood), as commanded by Allah, the
Mighty and Majestic, at the hands of the rulers," AMJA scholars agree,
"for establishing one of the hadd punishments in a land is better for
its people than if it were to rain every morning for 40 years."
AMJA also says President Obama, whose father and stepfather were
Muslim, was born and raised a Muslim and should return to Islam.
"We ask Allah to bring him back to his religion," AMJA says.
Obama says he became a Christian as an adult while attending Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Lawyer's conviction on terrorism charges upheld
BY PATRICIA
HURTADO
STAFF WRITER, Newsday
October 26, 2005
A federal judge Tuesday upheld activist lawyer Lynne Stewart's conviction on
terrorism charges, ruling that allegations her lawyers made that a juror on the
case feared for her life and was coerced were unfounded.
In a separate opinion upholding the convictions of Stewart, 65, and two
co-defendants, U.S. District Court Judge John Koeltl also ruled separately that
they were not protected by the First Amendment.
Stewart is scheduled to be sentenced by Koeltl on Dec. 22.
Stewart was convicted Feb. 10 of conspiracy and providing material support to
terrorism by releasing a statement by her imprisoned terrorist client, Sheik
Omar Abdel-Rahman.
Stewart represented the radical Muslim cleric in 1995 on charges he conspired in
a foiled plot to bomb New York City landmarks on a single day.
Prosecutors charged that after his imprisonment, officials prohibited
Abdel-Rahman from communicating with his followers in the Egyptian-based Islamic
Group.
Stewart and her co-defendants, Ahmed Sattar, a paralegal and Mohammed Yousry, an
interpreter, were convicted of passing messages from Abdel-Rahman to his
followers regarding a cease-fire in the Islamic Group.
Stewart argued that statements she issued on the sheik's behalf were protected
by the First Amendment because he was merely his expressing an "opinion."
"This argument is without merit," Koeltl wrote. "Abdel Rahman was found to have
participated in the ... conspiracy to murder, rather than having merely engaged
in advocacy. [The free speech] analysis does not apply to unlawful speech-acts
such as conspiracy or aiding or abetting."
In a separate 25-page ruling, Koeltl denied Stewart's request for a new trial or
a hearing to investigate charges that another Stewart juror lied about his
background and was prejudiced against Stewart.
Stewart's lawyers cited letters from a female juror, identified only as Juror
No. 39, who the defense claimed had written a letter saying she cast her guilty
vote "only as a result of the fear and intimidation I was made to feel for my
life," during deliberations.
Stewart's lawyers had also charged Juror No. 39 was also troubled by an incident
in the last days of the case, when an unidentified person who was not part of
the trial pointed to her as "the holdout."
For reasons of security, the jury was anonymous and partially sequestered,
escorted to and from court by U.S. marshals in a van.
Stewart's lawyers further charged a male juror had been overheard saying that he
had been in jail for a couple of nights while in the military. The defense also
contended this male juror was prejudiced against Stewart.
In his ruling, Koeltl concluded that the letter allegedly sent by Juror No. 39,
a month after the verdict and "was plainly written with the assistance of
somebody other than Juror No. 39." He also ruled it contained statements that
contradicted what she told Koeltl in an interview during the trial and differed
substantially from what she said in her letter to him and what defense lawyers
claim she said to them.
The judge said the allegations concerning Juror No. 82 were not reliable and
that allegations the defense claimed about Juror No. 39 were "hearsay" and
"double hearsay." He noted the juror's reputed concerns were never raised with
him in her letter.
Stewart's appeals lawyer, Josh Dratel, could not be reached for comment.
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907:
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in
good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be
treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to
discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American,
and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man
who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.
We have room for but one flag, the American flag.... We have room for but one
language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one
sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
