<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The
global war on Islam is spearheaded by three power centers which act
together as one entity. Each is deployed wherever and whenever its
particular skill set is needed:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>The United States of America:</b>
The U.S.A. acts within the Triangle of Terror as its military arm. It
is called to be a strike force and sometimes an invasion force
(Examples: Iraq, Afghanistan). The U.S. government continues to pursue
its greedy economic interests and attempts desperately to hold onto its
title of “world superpower”.</span></span> </li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Zionist State of Israel:</b>
The Zionists act within the Triangle of Terror as its propagandistic
arm. They have created and sustained a wave of Islamophobia in order to
justify and continue the global war on Islam. Through <i>perception management</i>,
the peoples of the world have been subjected to a constant diet of
“terror” and “terrorism” via TV, cyberspace, movies, books, and other
media, to such a degree that they make an automatic psychological
association between the beautiful <i>Deen</i> of Islam on the one hand,
and barbaric violence on the other. The Zionists have made it easy for
the U.S. government to justify their military invasion and brutal murder
of innocent Muslims across the globe and keep the Muslims here frozen
in a fearful, defensive posture.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Saudi Arabian Kingdom: </b>The Saudis operate within the Triangle of Terror as an intra-<i>Ummah</i> control force and <i>fitnah </i>developer. They are the primary organizers and directors of <i>fitnah</i>
and disunity between Muslims across the globe. As obedient stooges,
they place all of their wealth and status (as controllers of Makkah and
Madinah) at the disposal of Zionist and Western imperialist interests.
The Saudis disseminate an Islam which is imbalanced, irrelevant, and
divisive; diverting the focus of Muslims away from our common enemies
(namely, the USA and Zionists) and instead making fellow Muslims enemy
#1. </span></span></li>
</ul>

<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Undermining the Ikhwan’s gains in Egypt by assisting Zionist-Americans in weakening Islamic forces;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Supporting Ethiopia and Kenya in the invasion, destabilization, and destruction of Somalia; </span></span> </li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Creating bogus
militant Islamic organizations which always fight and kill Muslims
(including Shi’a Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran)—<i><u>never</u> Zionists</i>;</span></span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cooperating with
Pentagon-based covert intelligence operations aimed at “fabricating an
enemy” and “provoking action” via the Proactive, Preemptive Operations

But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; But Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things. If ye help not (your Leader), (It is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers made him leave: he had no more than once companion: The two were in the Cave, and he said to his companion, ‘Have no fear for Allah is with us’: then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the Word of Allah is exalted to the heights: For Allah is Exalted in might, Wise. Go ye forth, (whether equipped) lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle, with your goods and your persons, in the Cause of Allah. That is best for you, if ye (but) knew. If there had been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on them. They would indeed swear by Allah, ‘If we only could, we should certainly have come out with you.’ They would destroy their own souls, for Allah doth know that they are certainly lying.” </i>(9:39-42) </span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>“Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of Bliss) without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you?

They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: ‘Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members.’ Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; They will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein. Those who believed and those who suffered exile and fought (and strove and struggled) in the path of Allah—They have the hope of the Mercy of Allah: And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”</i> (2:216-218)</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> <i> “Let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah—whether he is slain or gets victory—soon shall We give him a reward of great (value). And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?—Men, women, and children, whose cry is: ‘Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; And raise for us from Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who will help! Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the Friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the coming of Satan. Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular Charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, Behold! A section of them feared men as—or even more than—they should have feared Allah. They said: ‘Our Lord!

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Strategy formulation</b>.

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Strategy implementation. </b>This includes: 1) programs – activities needed to accomplish the overall plan; 2) budgets – meeting the costs related to these programs; and 3) procedures – sequence of steps needed to do the job.</span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> </b></span></span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><b>OUR STORY</b></u></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Imam Musa's story of tenacity and endurance begins in the 1960s, as manager of the biggest, most well-organized Black Mafia-type organization in northern California. In the early 1970s, this organization transitioned into becoming a financial supporter of Black liberation movements in exile, from Algeria to Tanzania. After years of leading the first and only multi-million dollar, African American-managed cocaine-smuggling operation from Bogota and Medellin, Colombia, to the U.S.A., the late 1970s witnessed its voluntary closing down. At the end of these adventures, “Big Hank”—later to be known as <b>Abdul Alim Musa</b>—emerged as founder and <i>imam</i> of Masjid Al-Mawdudi (later Masjid Al-Islam) in East Oakland, CA. <br /><br />This story reflects the <i>transformational potential</i> of Islam. It is known by the people of Oakland, yet it is not told to mainstream Muslims because Imam Musa is barred from the <i>minbars</i> of all the Bay Area<i> masajid</i>; instead, college students with no experience whatsoever in the real Black liberation movement nor the global Islamic movement have circulated around “on tour” for the last 25 years, pretending to be sincere representatives of our community. Hailed by mainstream Muslims as experts on Islam, Black liberation, and what to do in America, these individuals have merely read books about our <i>experienced realities</i>. These “college boys” have never faced a challenge in their lives, yet they are celebrated as champions of the Islamic movement. <i>How can one be a champion, who has never even had a fight to begin with?</i><br /><br />Imam Musa and Masjid Al-Islam has survived 35 years of direct and constant confrontation with FBI, CIA, Zionist, and Saudi operatives working together with all their resources, with no help from the Bay Area’s Muslims. <i>What did Imam Musa do to the Muslims, to be cut off, isolated, sidelined, and ignored? </i><br /><br />For years, the FBI gave these agent provocateurs a job and a staff of workers, teachers, and supporters. Now, after 20 years of Masjid Al-Islam School in Oakland , there is not one teacher or student who remains there—they have all transferred to Alameda, leaving our property on MacArthur Blvd. falling part, dilapidated, and in need of<i> hundreds of thousands of dollars</i> in repair. Imam Musa is left to renovate and reverse 13 years of decline and misuse. <br /><br />In Black culture, one of the most hated persons is one who stabs his mentor in the back, after the mentor has treated such a person like a younger brother. The professional saboteur and backstabber is held in very low esteem. Despite being faced with such circumstances, Imam Musa says what <br /><br />Yusuf (as) said to his brothers in Egypt: </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>“’This day let no reproach be (cast) on you: Allah will forgive you, and He is Most Merciful of those who show mercy!’”</i> (12:92)</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />This is also what Prophet Muhammad <i>(saw)</i> said to the Quraysh after the conquest of Makkah.<br /><br />Dear Bay Area Muslims, there is an apparent global war on Islam. We need each other. We want a strong movement that stands up for Islam in a way that America understands. <i>Will you help us? </i>As you know from our historical record, your generous contributions will be handled judiciously. <br /><br />We ask Allah<i> (swt)</i> to forgive us for anything we might have said. </span></span><br />

<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>OUR CHALLENGES</b></span></span></u></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />1. For over 30 years, As-Sabiqun has stood single-handedly, face-to-face, against the <b>Triangle of Terror</b>, made up of: a) the American government (FBI, NSA, CIA); the Zionist Mossad (who control much of the media and manage the focus and direction of several Muslim front organizations and leaders within the U.S.); and the Saudis (who fund and control<i> imams</i>, Boards of Directors, collaborators, informers, infiltrators, and agent provocateurs in service of Zionist and Western imperialist interests). <br /><br />2. For almost 20 years—from the late 1980s to around 2008—the As-Sabiqun branch in Oakland, CA, was actually led and staffed by<i> Zionist American agents</i>. Their mission was to eliminate all supporters of Imam Musa (especially Iranians) from involvement in and association with Masjid Al-Islam. During this period, our property was sabotaged—the roof of our properties adjacent to the Masjid was made to leak, causing severe structural damage. Taxes that were left unpaid cost Imam Musa close to $200,000 in cash (this is a lot of money as you know). <br /><br />3. Imam Musa has been excluded from the mainstream platform of "accepted" speakers. In the meantime, he has survived over 30 years of attacks mounted by saboteurs, agent provocateurs, informers, and collaborators, thanks to Allah <i>(swt)</i>. Imam Musa’s organization has endured more <i>fitnah</i> and lasted much longer than any other similar organization in U.S. history.<br /><br />As we continue to face these challenges, we also continue to change our challenges into <i>opportunities</i>. What has destroyed and broken all other independent Islamic groups in America has only made us <i>stronger</i>. We are a small, underfunded organization, yet we look Zionists in the eye and tell them they can use their media, movies, FBI and CIA puppets, and all the rest of their institutional power; concentrate and focus it on us; and they will still find us standing <i>tall</i> and <i>defiant</i>.<br /><br />We are reaching out to you—Bay Area Muslims—for financial support. We are currently in the process of recovering from over 20 years of maximum internal sabotage. While the past administration at Masjid Al-Islam in Oakland has used every asset at its disposal to <i>undermine</i>, <i>destabilize</i>, and <i>subvert</i> our progress, we have stayed true to a set of key organizational values, including <i>resilience</i>, <i>audacity</i>, <i>longevity</i>, <i>fortitude</i>, <i>resolution</i>, and <i>tenacity</i>. At this stage of development, we hope to renovate <u>all</u> of our sabotaged property along MacArthur Blvd. <br /><br />After being stabbed in the back, sabotaged, and undermined by the past management, it will take an estimated <b>$500,000</b> to set things straight. We have seen seemingly tough circumstances many times before, and that is why we can confidently say <i>“A setback is nothing but a set-up for a comeback.” </i>To us, setbacks are lessons, training, and preparation for future success. We are asking you to help us make this our <i>biggest and best comeback yet</i>. <br /><br />Many of you unwittingly helped the past administration destabilize our community. I, Imam Musa, am asking you now to aid us in a <b>Great Recovery</b>. <br /><br /><b>(P.S.: Both offices of our Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare have been burglarized and vandalized, and the equipment in both offices has been stolen.) </b></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We at Masjid Al-Islam are expecting to pray the <b>‘Eid prayer</b> on <b>Sunday, August 19th, 2012</b>, at <b>10:45am</b>. <i>We invite you to join us in celebrating ‘Eid in Southeast DC! </i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Today, there are many challenges facing the Muslim <i>Ummah</i>, both inside and outside of America. We are vilified in the media, arrested without just cause, entrapped, tortured, threatened by drone attacks in our own airspace, invaded, and killed by the hundreds of thousands; yet <i>no one speaks up for us</i>. Our <i>imams</i> are generally afraid of arrest or deportation, and our <i>masjids</i> and Islamic centers are undoubtedly infiltrated. (According to ISNA’s August 2012 issue of <i>Islamic Horizons </i>magazine, there are 15,000 official informants and saboteurs and 45,000 unofficial agents within the Muslim community in America.) Meanwhile, our Islamic organizations are calling for “civil rights”, an outdated strategy which is 50 years behind our reality. <br /><br />Masjid Al-Islam, and the As-Sabiqun movement in general, has withstood 35 years of oppression and psychological warfare from the likes of the FBI, NSA, CIA, Homeland Security, unofficial military intelligence, local police, and every other criminal arm of Zionist American tyranny and aggression. We are a small movement yet we have faced this challenge <i>gladly</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>“O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor; For Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.</b></i>” (<i>Al Nisa’</i>, 4:135)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Our current mission, inside and outside of the U.S., is to struggle to neutralize the efforts of the top three enemies of our global <i>Ummah</i>, which together constitute the <b>Triangle of Terror</b>:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Zionist Israel (media and propaganda).</b> The Zionists have created and sustained a wave of Islamophobia in order to justify and continue the global war on Islam. Through <i>perception management</i>, the peoples of the world—including Muslims—have been subjected to a constant diet of “terror” and “terrorism” via TV, websites, movies, books, and other media, to such a degree that they make an automatic psychological association between the beautiful <i>Deen</i> of Islam on the one hand, and barbaric violence on the other. Islam has been made to seem like a religion of unreasonable fanatics, and the peace-loving Muslims have been made out to be warmongers.</span> </li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>U.S. government (military execution).</b> Strategically working hand-in-hand to establish the negative image of Islam and Muslims in the public mind, the Zionists have made it easy for the U.S. government to justify their military invasion and brutal murder of innocent Muslims across the globe and keep the Muslims here frozen in a fearful, defensive posture. The U.S. government continues to pursue its greedy economic interests and attempts desperately to hold onto its title of “world superpower” by any means, including outright lies and misinformation. </span> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Saudi Arabia (internal control).</b> The Saudis continue to operate pathetically as obedient stooges of the Zionists and Americans. They act as the primary organizers and directors of <i>fitnah</i> between Muslims across the global <i>Ummah</i>. They place all of their wealth and status (as controllers of Makkah and Madinah) at the disposal of Zionist and Western imperialist interests. They disseminate an Islam which is imbalanced, irrelevant, arrogant, and divisive, making fellow Muslims enemy #1. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Dear believers, <i>we are standing up for you</i> against bullying, targeted killing, drone attacks, Islamophobia, and <i>masjid</i> burnings. We have established two centers of the<b> Islamic Institute for Counter-Zionist American Psychological Warfare</b>, in Washington, DC, and Oakland, CA. We want to carry on a higher level of defense of Islam and combat the evil forces that are at work, but we need your <i>monetary</i> help to do so. Help us to help the cause of Islam. Send as big a donation as possible. <i>No one wants this job but us. </i>You can send a check or money order to: <b>Masjid Al-Islam</b> / 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019. <br /><i><br />Jazakum Allahu khayran</i>, <br /><b>Imam Abdul Alim Musa </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i><b>Commentary:</b><i><br /></i>The verse above describes the following eight groups of people (those noted with an asterisk apply especially to our community): <br /></span><ol>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>*<i>Fuqara’</i>:</b> Those who own property in excess of basic necessities but below the value of <i>nisab</i>.<b> </b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Masakin</i>: </b>Persons of extreme poverty who possess no wealth whatsoever. </span><b> </b></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>‘Amilin</i>:</b> According to scholars, those who are appointed by an Islamic government to collect <i>Zakat</i>. It is not necessary that this be a needy person. <b> </b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>*Mu’allafati Qulub</i>: </b>Those poor and needy persons who are given <i>Zakat </i>with the intention of solidifying their hearts because they may be recently converted to Islam or to help bring them closer to Islam. </span><b> </b></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Ar-Riqab</i>:</b> Slaves whose masters have agreed to set them free on a payment of a fixed amount. <i>Zakat</i> may be used to purchase their freedom</span>. </li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>*Al-Gharimin</i>:</b> A person whose debts exceed one’s assets and one’s net assets (after deducting one’s liabilities) is below the <i>nisab</i> amount. </span> <b> </b></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>*Fī Sabilillah</i>:</b> Those who are away from home, in the path of Allah <i>(swt)</i>. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Ibnus-Sabil</i>: </b>A traveler who may have wealth at one’s place of residence, but is stranded and in need of financial assistance. </span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i></i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i>This notice is to introduce you to <b>Masjid Al-Islam</b>, which is located at<b> 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019</b>. We maintain two Islamic centers—one in Oakland, CA, and another in Washington, DC—both owned and operated by us. For 35 years, we have encountered every <i>fitnah</i> imaginable, from the notorious <b>Triangle of Terror</b> (American military, Zionist media, and Saudi Arabian destabilization) to rumors and other programs carefully designed to keep us isolated from mainstream Muslims. Due to this isolation, we are a well-established yet economically-challenged community. In spite of these circumstances, we are <i>rising to the occasion of our time</i>. Below are some of our current and future projects (<i>insha’Allah</i>):<br /> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">We have already opened two branch offices of the <b>Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare</b>. We would like to establish and maintain the following programs:</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">1) <b>College of Islamic Movement Studies</b>, featuring courses in the following areas: a) a historical study of various Islamic movements, their influences, and their impact on society, in which students will examine their messages and their missions and learn how to translate their knowledge and experiences into a useful format for application in today’s world; and b) strategic management under conditions of repression, in which Imam Musa will share the insights he has gained from 35 years of survival and success against multiple forms of opposition, meant to <i>isolate</i> us from mainstream Muslims and<i> derail </i>and <i>destroy</i> the progress of our schools, places of worship, and businesses; 2) <b>Department of Strategic and Islamic Studies.</b> This department will focus on: analyses of world events and situations affecting Muslims; forecasting based on historical trends and current environmental circumstances; and strategic planning based on what should be done to make a better world.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Re-Africanization of the Islamic Movement in the USA.</b> Reviving the dynamism of past indigenous Islamic movements inside of the USA, which were visionary, militant, strongly on the <i>Sunnah</i>, and liberation-oriented. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>De-Israelization of the Islamic Movement in North America.</b> Muslims have taken up a bad agenda. We must stop reacting to others’ expectations and demands, avoid integration and assimilation into the warmongering criminal system of the U.S. government, and stand up against tyranny and injustice.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Islamic Dialectical Idealism.</b> We view change as natural, constant, historical, and evolutionary. Real revolution emerges from and should be guided by idealism, imagination, and possibility-believing (possibility-thinking). </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Safeguard the rights and security of Muslims and all Americans.</b> Our primary goal in this theatre of operations is to guard and protect the rights and security of Muslims and all Americans. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Muslim Cultural Development/Replacement.</b> We are urging youth to actively cultivate and create a viable, popular Muslim counter-culture, incorporating such elements of the arts as <i>halal</i> “message music”. We can gradually raise the consciousness of the general society, bringing attention to real-life issues and share a powerful message of optimism, global transformation, and a positive vision of the future.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Agricultural Liberation.</b> As America’s economic situation becomes increasingly unstable, the Muslim community should make practical steps toward independence and self-sufficiency, linking city to countryside by acquiring land for agriculture. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />We are out here out of<i> necessity</i>—not to cause any discomfort. Please review the <i>ayah</i> at the top of this flier, which lists the proper recipients of <i>Zakat</i>, and the associated commentary (those categories noted with an asterisk apply especially to our community). We thank you in advance for helping us in Allah’s <i>(swt)</i> cause. For future contributions, you can send a check or money order to: <b>Masjid Al-Islam</b> / 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019.</span></div>

It is time for the 99% to liberate themselves by hitting the monster (global Zionist banking institutions) where it hurts most. On individual, national, and international levels, debtors—including individuals, institutions, and countries—should break free from unfair debt contracts by refusing to make payments <span style="font-style: italic;">en masse</span>. </span></span></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >C. Muslim Cultural Development/Replacement. </span></span><br style="font-family:verdana;"></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">At this time, we are urging youth to actively cultivate and create a viable, popular Muslim counter-culture, incorporating such elements of the arts as<span style="font-style: italic;"> halal</span> “message music”. There is a global cultural void that must be filled. Historical trends show that the cultures of the oppressed always rise in popularity and prominence. Let us place Islam and Muslims into a trend-setting position. We can gradually raise the consciousness of the general society, bringing attention to real-life issues (immigration, profiling, FBI and CIA criminal activities, Palestine, targeted killings, drones, invasions, 1% vs. 99%, Islamophobia, etc.) and share a powerful message of optimism, global transformation, and a positive vision of the future. </span></span></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span></span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >D. Agricultural Liberation. </span></span><br style="font-family:verdana;"></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">As America’s economic situation becomes increasingly unstable, the Muslim community should make practical steps toward independence and self-sufficiency. Each <span style="font-style: italic;">masjid</span> in America should link city to countryside by acquiring land for agriculture. For most urban and suburban <span style="font-style: italic;">masajid</span>, land for farming can be found about 40 to 100 miles away, perhaps even less. By developing a network of agricultural suppliers, we no longer have to depend on the shifting fortunes of current suppliers (as can be seen by the rising costs of groceries). </span></span></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span></span><br face="verdana"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The global consciousness awakening has arrived, and it will be televised.</span> All of humanity is waking up at the same time with a global vision of a <span style="font-style: italic;">new world</span>, full of <span style="font-style: italic;">unlimited possibilities</span>. People across the globe are calling for a new deal for the Earth and all of its living organisms—human, animal, plant, and other. We must visualize that world and start to connect and organize with those who can also see it and, more importantly, who are willing to work for it.</span></span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Together, we must develop a plan of action and work with <span style="font-style: italic;">missionary zeal</span> to bring about an Earth liberation movement which aims to free the Earth from the parasitical behavior of man; establish a non-predatory system of interconnected global harmony; nurture and further a culture of “Earth-first” custodianship; understand and respect the rights of the Earth, which should be treated as a living organism (which it is); and envision and actualize a global redesign for the 21st century.</span></span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">In order to make a new world, we need a <span style="font-style: italic;">new, improved human being</span> to do it. The only question is: <span style="font-style: italic;">What role will Islam and Muslims play in all of this?</span> Toward playing a significant role in these new global circumstances, we have opened two branch offices for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare</span>. We have some exciting and important projects in the making, including: a College of Islamic Movement Studies, which will offer classes in Arabic, practical Qur’an and <span style="font-style: italic;">Hadith</span> studies, <span style="font-style: italic;">Akhlaq</span> (Islamic character), historical study of various Islamic movements, and strategic management under conditions of repression; a high-quality physical fitness program which will be results-oriented; and a Department of Strategic and Islamic Studies which will focus on analysis of world events affecting Muslims and strategic planning for the making of a better world. </span></span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">We will also be working to win the perception management war by challenging the overwhelming influence of the Zionist-controlled media on Muslims and the general public. The scope of our work is both internal and external: it is aimed at <span style="font-style: italic;">building a positive self-image </span>amongst Muslims, while also <span style="font-style: italic;">influencing the direction of global change</span> by presenting Muslims to the world as real human beings with noble dreams, hopes, and aspirations, and a sincere compassion that extends to their families, neighbors, communities, and the entirety of humankind. Presently, our major goals are to:</span></span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Move forward with efforts to make our own movies/films.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Improve and expand our CD and DVD production, duplication, and distribution efforts.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Publish the <span style="font-style: italic;">As-Sabiqun</span> book (a compilation of our newsletters) in a two-volume set.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Produce and distribute <span style="font-style: italic;">Masjid Al-Islam News</span> once a week (in CD and DVD form).</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Improve and expand our web presence. This includes making more efficient and effective use of our website, blog, Facebook and YouTube accounts, etc. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Monitor Zionist networks, their connections, behavior patterns, modes of operation, etc. Analyze the Zionist grip on humanity established via the media and economics—how it influences government policies, produces Islamophobia, uses perception management, infiltrates and destabilizes our Islamic institutions and aspirations, etc.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Continue to develop in the areas of: 1) Re-Africanization of the Islamic movement and 2) De-Israelization of the Islamic movement in North America. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Counter and neutralize the effects of <span style="font-style: italic;">shaping and herding</span> (also known as<span style="font-style: italic;"> operant conditioning</span>), a tactic employed by the U.S. government to control the direction of the Islamic agenda in North America. </span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Push for a truly global Islamic news service. </span></span><br style="font-family:verdana;"></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><br face="verdana"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">A proper analysis of the situation of Muslims locally, nationally, and internationally, would show us that Muslims are not in control of their lives, situations, or events. In selecting and defining a future for ourselves, we must be very brave and innovative. Without a plan or strategy, we are subject to wherever the winds of change take us; we surrender our self-determination and limit ourselves to prevalent trends, currents, and circumstances. We must remind ourselves: Our future should not be determined by our past—it should be determined by our <span style="font-style: italic;">imagination</span>. </span></span><br face="verdana"><br face="verdana"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Imagination is key. In order to succeed as Islamic workers, we can use our imagination to visualize the proper Islamic movement for this evolutionary century. Let us see ourselves as great problem-solvers and great communicators of truth, with the God-given ability to transform and re-create any kind of society we wish for.</span></span><br face="verdana"><br /><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Brief Reflections on the African American Contribution to the Global Islamic Movement</span></span><br face="verdana"><br face="verdana"></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">The past indigenous Islamic movements in this country were militant, independent, and liberation-oriented. Our movements and organizations today must revive these characteristics (i.e., Re-Africanization of the Islamic Movement). We must be <span style="font-style: italic;">visionary</span>—guided by high Islamic ideals and principles—as well as <span style="font-style: italic;">missionary</span>—willing to do the work necessary to achieve the vision. As we work, we must operate on a high level of <span style="font-style: italic;">self-discipline</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">courage</span>. </span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">In recent years, the Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare has initiated cutting-edge planning and work in the field of de-Israelization of the global Islamic movement. As Muslims, we must stop reacting to others’ expectations and demands and avoid integration and assimilation into the warmongering criminal system of the U.S. government. We must give up apologetic attitudes that have no place in our current circumstance and stand up firmly against tyranny and injustice.</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Indigenous Muslims must rise to the level necessary to speak up for the rights of immigrant Muslims who are completely dehumanized in the media and live in a state of fear. We, who have been born and raised in the USA, will not tolerate injustice, oppression, and psychological intimidation. While mainstream organizations have isolated us within the U.S., we have been united with the <span style="font-style: italic;">global Islamic movement</span> and the developing <span style="font-style: italic;">worldwide human potential movement</span>, both of which envision a brighter future for humanity, free from the clasp of the greedy and unjust. </span></span></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><br face="verdana"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">More than anything else, what our people need is the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> transformational power of faith</span>, through which they can turn from being<span style="font-style: italic;"> community liabilities </span>to <span style="font-style: italic;">community assets</span>. With this in mind, we look forward to making a new world that Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all) would be proud of. </span></span><br face="verdana"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Support us!</span> We will continue to<span style="font-style: italic;"> happily</span> fight the Zionist American monster,<span style="font-style: italic;"> insha’Allah</span>.

The “Default” Strategy.</span><br style="font-family:verdana;"></span><ul><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">At the helm of a global revolution is the 99%--those who are getting kicked out of their homes; forced to choose between groceries and rent; denied quality medical care; and working long hours for little pay (if working at all). It is time for the 99% to liberate themselves by hitting the monster (global Zionist banking institutions) where it hurts most. On individual, national, and international levels, debtors—including individuals, institutions, and countries—should break free from unfair debt contracts by refusing to make payments <span style="font-style: italic;">en masse</span>. </span></span></li></ul><span style="font-size:85%;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >C. Muslim Cultural Development/Replacement. </span><br style="font-family:verdana;"></span><ul><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">At this time, we are urging youth to actively cultivate and create a viable, popular Muslim counter-culture, incorporating such elements of the arts as<span style="font-style: italic;"> halal</span> “message music”. There is a global cultural void that must be filled. Historical trends show that the cultures of the oppressed always rise in popularity and prominence. Let us place Islam and Muslims into a trend-setting position. We can gradually raise the consciousness of the general society, bringing attention to real-life issues (immigration, profiling, FBI and CIA criminal activities, Palestine, targeted killings, drones, invasions, 1% vs. 99%, Islamophobia, etc.) and share a powerful message of optimism, global transformation, and a positive vision of the future. </span></span></li></ul><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >D. Agricultural Liberation. </span><br style="font-family:verdana;"></span><ul><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">As America’s economic situation becomes increasingly unstable, the Muslim community should make practical steps toward independence and self-sufficiency. Each <span style="font-style: italic;">masjid</span> in America should link city to countryside by acquiring land for agriculture. For most urban and suburban <span style="font-style: italic;">masajid</span>, land for farming can be found about 40 to 100 miles away, perhaps even less. By developing a network of agricultural suppliers, we no longer have to depend on the shifting fortunes of current suppliers (as can be seen by the rising costs of groceries). </span></span></li></ul><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The global consciousness awakening has arrived, and it will be televised.</span> All of humanity is waking up at the same time with a global vision of a <span style="font-style: italic;">new world</span>, full of <span style="font-style: italic;">unlimited possibilities</span>. People across the globe are calling for a new deal for the Earth and all of its living organisms—human, animal, plant, and other. We must visualize that world and start to connect and organize with those who can also see it and, more importantly, who are willing to work for it.</span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Together, we must develop a plan of action and work with <span style="font-style: italic;">missionary zeal</span> to bring about an Earth liberation movement which aims to free the Earth from the parasitical behavior of man; establish a non-predatory system of interconnected global harmony; nurture and further a culture of “Earth-first” custodianship; understand and respect the rights of the Earth, which should be treated as a living organism (which it is); and envision and actualize a global redesign for the 21st century.</span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">In order to make a new world, we need a <span style="font-style: italic;">new, improved human being</span> to do it. The only question is: <span style="font-style: italic;">What role will Islam and Muslims play in all of this?</span> Toward playing a significant role in these new global circumstances, we have opened two branch offices for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare</span>. We have some exciting and important projects in the making, including: a College of Islamic Movement Studies, which will offer classes in Arabic, practical Qur’an and <span style="font-style: italic;">Hadith</span> studies, <span style="font-style: italic;">Akhlaq</span> (Islamic character), historical study of various Islamic movements, and strategic management under conditions of repression; a high-quality physical fitness program which will be results-oriented; and a Department of Strategic and Islamic Studies which will focus on analysis of world events affecting Muslims and strategic planning for the making of a better world. </span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">We will also be working to win the perception management war by challenging the overwhelming influence of the Zionist-controlled media on Muslims and the general public. The scope of our work is both internal and external: it is aimed at <span style="font-style: italic;">building a positive self-image </span>amongst Muslims, while also <span style="font-style: italic;">influencing the direction of global change</span> by presenting Muslims to the world as real human beings with noble dreams, hopes, and aspirations, and a sincere compassion that extends to their families, neighbors, communities, and the entirety of humankind. Presently, our major goals are to:</span><br style="font-family:verdana;"><br style="font-family:verdana;"></span><ul><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Move forward with efforts to make our own movies/films.</span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Improve and expand our CD and DVD production, duplication, and distribution efforts.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Publish the <span style="font-style: italic;">As-Sabiqun</span> book (a compilation of our newsletters) in a two-volume set.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Produce and distribute <span style="font-style: italic;">Masjid Al-Islam News</span> once a week (in CD and DVD form).</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Improve and expand our web presence.

In selecting and defining a future for ourselves, we must be very brave and innovative. Without a plan or strategy, we are subject to wherever the winds of change take us; we surrender our self-determination and limit ourselves to prevalent trends, currents, and circumstances. We must remind ourselves: Our future should not be determined by our past—it should be determined by our <span style="font-style: italic;">imagination</span>. </span><br face="verdana"><br face="verdana"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Imagination is key. In order to succeed as Islamic workers, we can use our imagination to visualize the proper Islamic movement for this evolutionary century. Let us see ourselves as great problem-solvers and great communicators of truth, with the God-given ability to transform and re-create any kind of society we wish for.</span><br face="verdana"><br /><br style="font-family:verdana;"><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Brief Reflections on the African American Contribution to the Global Islamic Movement</span><br face="verdana"><br face="verdana"></span><ul><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">The past indigenous Islamic movements in this country were militant, independent, and liberation-oriented. Our movements and organizations today must revive these characteristics (i.e., Re-Africanization of the Islamic Movement). We must be <span style="font-style: italic;">visionary</span>—guided by high Islamic ideals and principles—as well as <span style="font-style: italic;">missionary</span>—willing to do the work necessary to achieve the vision. As we work, we must operate on a high level of <span style="font-style: italic;">self-discipline</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">courage</span>. </span></span></li></ul><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><ul><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">In recent years, the Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare has initiated cutting-edge planning and work in the field of de-Israelization of the global Islamic movement. As Muslims, we must stop reacting to others’ expectations and demands and avoid integration and assimilation into the warmongering criminal system of the U.S. government. We must give up apologetic attitudes that have no place in our current circumstance and stand up firmly against tyranny and injustice.</span></span></li></ul><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><ul><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Indigenous Muslims must rise to the level necessary to speak up for the rights of immigrant Muslims who are completely dehumanized in the media and live in a state of fear. We, who have been born and raised in the USA, will not tolerate injustice, oppression, and psychological intimidation. While mainstream organizations have isolated us within the U.S., we have been united with the <span style="font-style: italic;">global Islamic movement</span> and the developing <span style="font-style: italic;">worldwide human potential movement</span>, both of which envision a brighter future for humanity, free from the clasp of the greedy and unjust. </span></span></li></ul><span style="font-size:85%;"><br face="verdana"><span style="font-family:verdana;">More than anything else, what our people need is the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> transformational power of faith</span>, through which they can turn from being<span style="font-style: italic;"> community liabilities </span>to <span style="font-style: italic;">community assets</span>. With this in mind, we look forward to making a new world that Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all) would be proud of. </span><br face="verdana"><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><br face="verdana"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Support us!</span> We will continue to<span style="font-style: italic;"> happily</span> fight the Zionist American monster, <span style="font-style: italic;">insha’Allah</span>.

We must visualize that world and start to connect and organize with those who can also see it and, more importantly, who are willing to work for it.<br /><br />Together, we must develop a plan of action and work with <span style="font-style: italic;">missionary zeal</span> to bring about and play a role in the Earth liberation movement which aims to free the Earth from the parasitical behavior of man; establish a non-predatory system of interconnected global harmony; nurture and further a culture of “Earth-first” custodianship; understand and respect the rights of the Earth, which should be treated as a living organism (which it is); and envision and actualize a global redesign for the 21st century.<br /><br />During this period of global evolution, we are reaching out to all peoples of good will who wish to participate in the effort of global re-design. Toward achieving this ultimate vision, we are working diligently to reform even those who have worked and cooperated with Zionist American organizations as saboteurs, agent provocateurs, infiltrators, and traitors.

Unbeknownst to them, the solution to this problem is quite simple: say<span style="font-style: italic;"> “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad ar-Rasulullah”</span> and remain firm.<br /><br />We have reached out to and continue to reach out to snitches, saboteurs, agent provocateurs, infiltrators, traitors, and others who are a part of the global network of Zionist American agents—especially those within the USA.

President Johnson (1965-1969) declared at one time a “<span style="font-weight: bold;">war </span>on poverty”. We have had 40 years of a “<span style="font-style: italic;">war</span> on drugs”, a “war on crime”, etc., to no avail. We are developing a new language, a language of peace and prosperity, to apply in our current circumstances and help usher in a new era of human progress. Toward establishing this new language of liberation, there will accordingly be a shift in our terminology:</span><ul style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;">We have mentioned our engagement in an “air war” (psychological war) with our enemies. We are now striving for an “air peace”.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">Declaration of War >> Declaration of Peace, Harmony, and Sympathy</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">Psychological Guerrilla Warfare >> Psychological Guerrilla “Peacefare”</span><br /></li></ul><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">Join us as we wage peace on earth! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">D.

Real revolution emerges from and should be guided by idealism, imagination, and possibility-believing (possibility-thinking). We must strive for a high level of self-determination, by which the events that affect us are directed by our idealism and not vice versa. Currently, we are not in control of our lives, situations, or events. In selecting and defining a future for ourselves, we must be very brave and innovative. Without a plan or strategy, we are subject to wherever the winds of change take us.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">E.

President Johnson (1965-1969) declared at one time a “<span style="font-weight: bold;">war </span>on poverty”. We have had 40 years of a “<span style="font-style: italic;">war</span> on drugs”, a “war on crime”, etc., to no avail. We are developing a new language, a language of peace and prosperity, to apply in our current circumstances and help usher in a new era of human progress. Toward establishing this new language of liberation, there will accordingly be a shift in our terminology:</span><ul style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;" ><li><span style="font-size:85%;">We have mentioned our engagement in an “air war” (psychological war) with our enemies. We are now striving for an “air peace”.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">Declaration of War >> Declaration of Peace, Harmony, and Sympathy</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">Psychological Guerrilla Warfare >> Psychological Guerrilla “Peacefare”</span><br /></li></ul><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">Join us as we wage peace on earth! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">D.

Real revolution emerges from and should be guided by idealism, imagination, and possibility-believing (possibility-thinking). We must strive for a high level of self-determination, by which the events that affect us are directed by our idealism and not vice versa. Currently, we are not in control of our lives, situations, or events. In selecting and defining a future for ourselves, we must be very brave and innovative. Without a plan or strategy, we are subject to wherever the winds of change take us.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">E.

Toward achieving this ultimate vision, we are working diligently to reform even those who have worked and cooperated with Zionist American organizations as saboteurs, agent provocateurs, infiltrators, and traitors. This includes misguided believers who have snitched on their own brothers and sisters.<br /><br />As-Sabiqun’s 5-point program begins with <span style="font-style: italic;">forgiveness</span>. Imam Musa has survived over 30 years of direct conflict with the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, TAS, NSA, etc., yet he is<span style="font-style: italic;"> still here</span>, full of kindness toward a whole plethora of individuals who cannot cure their addiction to snitching. Unbeknownst to them, the solution to this problem is quite simple: say<span style="font-style: italic;"> “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad ar-Rasulullah”</span> and remain firm.<br /><br />We have reached out to and continue to reach out to snitches, saboteurs, agent provocateurs, infiltrators, traitors, and others who are a part of the global network of Zionist American agents—especially those within the USA. We of the As-Sabiqun movement have committed much of our resources to aid them in curing their addiction to snitching, destabilizing, misinforming, and misleading the unsuspecting Muslim population. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Support us</span> as we assist them through a <span style="font-style: italic;">tawbah</span>-based recovery process. <br /></span></div><br /></div></div></div>As-Sabiqun Updateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02423585013539791694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015180529039693138.post-35871235121829850502011-11-04T08:35:00.000-07:002011-11-04T08:38:28.818-07:00'Eid Prayer at Masjid Al-Islam (DC)<span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">As-salaamu 'alaikum</span>, dear believers!<br /><br />May Allah's <span style="font-style: italic;">(swt)</span> mercy and grace be with you during these blessed days of Dhul-Hijjah.

Our movements and organizations today must revive these characteristics.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">We must be <span style="font-style: italic;">visionary</span>, guided by the ideals and principles laid out in the following <span style="font-style: italic;">ayahs</span>: <span style="font-style: italic;">“Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, ‘I am of those who bow in Islam’? Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate! And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint—None but persons of the greatest good fortune.”</span> (41:33-35)</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">We must be <span style="font-style: italic;">missionary</span>—willing to do the work necessary to achieve the vision.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">In fulfilling the above, we must operate on a high level of <span style="font-style: italic;">self-discipline</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">courage</span>.</span></span><br /></li></ul><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">B. De-Israelization of the Islamic Movement in North America.</span><br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Our behavior should benefit Islam and Muslims first. We must stop reacting to others’ expectations and demands.</span></li><li style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">We must avoid integration and assimilation into the warmongering criminal system of the U.S. government.</span></li><li style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">We must stand up against tyranny and injustice: <span style="font-style: italic;">“O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: For Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.” </span>(4:135)</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Stop apologizing for being a Muslim!</span> In our current circumstances, this apologetic attitude has no place.</span></span><br /></li></ul><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">C. Battlespace Awareness.</span><br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Battlespace awareness</span> is an awareness and understanding of the battlespace, or military theatre of operations—including air, information, land, sea, and space—to an extent that allows the commander to maintain control of the terrain and maximize benefits. Gaining information about the operational area—the environment, factors, and conditions, including the status of friendly and adversary forces, neutrals and noncombatants, and terrain—enables timely, relevant, comprehensive, and accurate assessments so as to make appropriate projections, successfully apply combat power, and complete the mission.</span></li><li style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">In today’s war, we are battling for the minds and hearts of humanity. We must <span style="font-style: italic;">rise to the occasion of our time </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">act on a heroic level</span>. We must harness all of the tools we have at our disposal—media, books, Internet, movies, CDs and DVDs—to raise the banner of Islam.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">The Islamic Institute has chosen psychological guerrilla warfare as its strategy for combating global Zionist American hegemony. Psychological guerrilla warfare gives a small organization with limited resources and outstanding discipline, courage, and deeply-rooted faith to make the best of their situation. We believe in the eventual rise of Islam (Truth) and the steady decline of <span style="font-style: italic;">zulm</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">shirk</span>, and <span style="font-style: italic;">kufr</span>. We must take care to unify and coordinate all of the forces for good in our area of operation. </span></span><br /></li></ul><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">D. Islamic Dialectical Idealism.</span><br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Islamic dialectical idealism</span> views change as natural, constant, historical, and evolutionary. Real revolution emerges from and should be guided by idealism, imagination, and possibility-believing (possibility-thinking). We must strive for a high level of self-determination, by which the events that affect us are directed by our idealism and not vice versa. Currently, we are not in control of our lives, situations, or events. In selecting and defining a future for ourselves, we must be very brave and innovative. Without a plan or strategy, we are subject to wherever the winds of change take us.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">E. Safeguard the rights and security of Muslims and all Americans.</span><br /></span><ul><li><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Our primary goal in this theatre of operations is to guard and protect the rights and security of Muslims and all Americans. We have survived more U.S. and Israeli <span style="font-style: italic;">fitnah</span> than any other group our size in modern U.S. history. As we have striven to stand up to the true enemies of God and humanity, we have been encircled, suppressed, infiltrated, sabotaged, and flooded with agent provocateurs in each of the locations where we have worked, including Oakland, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Sea-Tac, Denver, and Washington, DC. </span></li></ul><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Support us!</span> Help us with as big a contribution as your vision and faith can stand. It can be sent in the form of check or money order to: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Masjid Al-Islam</span> • 4603 Benning Road SE • Washington, DC 20019.

We have thrived in spite of the opposition’s small gains: they closed Masjid Al-Islam in Denver in 1983 through infiltration, kidnapping, and destabilization—carried out by agent provocateurs, snitches, informants, and hypocrites; they have also managed to bring to a halt the work of our branches in San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Philadelphia, and SeaTac (Washington State). Nevertheless, we have continued to move forward with full gusto. We have viewed our challenges as <span style="font-style: italic;">opportunities</span>. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">On February 6th this year, we opened an office in Oakland, CA, for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare</span>. Sunday, March 6th marked the opening of our DC office. Through this new institute, we are <span style="font-style: italic;">rising to the occasion of our time</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">acting on a heroic level</span> by facing Zionist Americanism directly.

In order to rise to the level necessary to carry out our present mission, we are in need of at least <span style="font-weight: bold;">$250,000</span>. Renovation and property development are our main priorities at this time. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Indigenous Muslims must rise to the level necessary to speak up for the rights of immigrant Muslims who are completely dehumanized in the media and live in a state of fear. We, who have been born and raised in the USA, will not tolerate injustice, oppression, and psychological intimidation. While mainstream organizations have isolated us within the U.S., we have been united with the global Islamic movement and the developing <span style="font-style: italic;">worldwide human potential movement</span>, both of which envision a brighter future for humanity, free from the clasp of the greedy and unjust. </span><br /></div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">* A warm meal will be served. *</span><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family:verdana;" ></span></span></div>As-Sabiqun Updateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02423585013539791694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015180529039693138.post-29332936824118195652011-08-27T04:18:00.000-07:002011-08-27T04:37:23.049-07:00Imam Musa's Upcoming 'Eid Message<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykX5xsmkEQ9RZ6_rNr6PvzshMnlwD8HONZ4IjsoHLha0XGFunQinP5IYpQzFxffUE6FaUefeORDTtWeis7ZlWm-JaU5Wdmgwn8GnzuwT_2NlFIe5YjJIT4t8U7TGUhQ6ryFL9I_mYcYo/s1600/%2527Eid+al-Fitr+8.11.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykX5xsmkEQ9RZ6_rNr6PvzshMnlwD8HONZ4IjsoHLha0XGFunQinP5IYpQzFxffUE6FaUefeORDTtWeis7ZlWm-JaU5Wdmgwn8GnzuwT_2NlFIe5YjJIT4t8U7TGUhQ6ryFL9I_mYcYo/s320/%2527Eid+al-Fitr+8.11.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645495327597127170" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">(Click on flier image to enlarge)</span>

<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Our Environment</span>
<br />
<br />The Zionist Americans have created and sustained a wave of Islamophobia in order to justify and continue their global war on Islam. Through <span style="font-style: italic;">perception management</span>, the peoples of the world—including Muslims—have been subjected to a constant diet of “terror” and “terrorism” via TV, websites, movies, books, and other media, to such a degree that they make an automatic psychological association between the beautiful <span style="font-style: italic;">Deen</span> of Islam on the one hand, and barbaric violence on the other. Islam has been made to seem like a religion of unreasonable fanatics, and the peace-loving Muslims have been made out to be warmongers. By establishing this image in the public mind, the Zionist Americans have made it easy to justify their invasion and brutal murder of innocent Muslims across the globe <span style="font-weight: bold;">and</span> keep the Muslims here frozen in a fearful, defensive posture.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Today’s Message</span>
<br />
<br />We at Masjid Al-Islam in Southeast Washington, DC, have been standing up against Zionist American oppression and psychological warfare for 30 years. As Muslims native to North America, <span style="font-style: italic;">we have gladly accepted this responsibility</span>.
<br />
<br />The Zionist Americans have unleashed a global war against peace-loving Muslims from Pakistan to Lebanon, Kashmir to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine. We are not going to stand for it. This physical war against Muslims is consolidated by a psychological war game in which Islamophobia has been developed and used as one of the main weapons. We have struggled for several years, and we are now <span style="font-style: italic;">prevailing</span> in this game of psychological warfare.
<br />
<br />Muslims are making a good contribution to the world, both inside and outside of America. Out of <span style="font-style: italic;">fear</span>, most major Islamic organizations will not speak in their own defense against the infiltration of our centers and places of worship, sabotage of our peaceful efforts, and the false entrapment of innocent Muslims using criminal injustice apparatuses such as the FBI, CIA, NSA, TAS, Homeland Security, and numerous other unnamed co-conspirators which serve as arms of oppression and tyranny.
<br />
<br />We want to rise to a level necessary to combat the evil forces that are at work. Our two branch offices of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare</span> (based in Washington, DC and Oakland, CA) need your monetary help. There is a global war against us and we must <span style="font-style: italic;">rise to the occasion</span>. The level of sophistication needed is beyond our present capacity. If you yourself are afraid to <span style="font-style: italic;">stand up </span>against American Zionism, please at least contribute to our efforts. Help us with as big a contribution as your vision and faith can stand. You can send a check or money order to: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Masjid Al-Islam</span> / 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019.

<br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">It's the holy month of Ramadan and many of us are busy fulfilling the obligation of fasting and performing extra acts of worship, such as <em>nafl </em>prayers, <em>dhikr</em>, <em>du'as</em>, etc. Meanwhile, our Palestinian brothers and sisters are being slowly and silently starved to death. Can we do anything more for them than make <em>du'as</em>? </span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">
<br />
<br />As we work to purify ourselves during this holy month, we are presented with an opportunity to go beyond <em>du'as</em>. On <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>Aug. 26th</strong>, join us in <strong>New York City's Times Square</strong> at <strong>3:30 pm</strong> as we gather for the annual Al-Quds Day rally. Yep, that's right--this year, DC's Al-Quds Day Committee decided to join hands with the NY, NJ, PA, and CT Al-Quds Day Committees to hold a regional gathering. Local organizers are working on chartering a bus from the DC area up to NYC and back. Specific travel arrangement details will be available as soon as they're finalized, <em>insha'Allah </em>(check the <a href="http://www.alqudsday.org/"><strong>www.alqudsday.org</strong></a> for updates).

<br /><strong>WHAT IS AL-QUDS DAY?</strong></span>
<br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">
<br />Al-Quds is Arabic for Jerusalem, the Holy Land. Yawm-al Quds or Al-Quds Day is a day of solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians in their struggle against the Zionist-apartheid system of Israel. Al-Quds Day also extends beyond Palestine to support all oppressed people in their struggles across the world. All over the world, rallies and marches are held on this day, the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, in order to pledge solidarity with those struggling to live in dignity, in a world free from oppression and injustice.
<br />
<br />This day is an opportunity to stand in solidarity with the oppressed in their struggles all over the world, from Palestine to Iraq, from Congo to Honduras, and from China to right here in our own backyards in the United States. On August 26, 2011 at 3:30 pm, join us and other community leaders and activists for this historical protest and pledge your solidarity with those seeking a just peace in Palestine and around the world.

May He help you gain mastery over yourselves, build your <em>taqwa</em>, and grant you salvation from the Fire. We have started our fasting today based on moon sightings which were confirmed on Sunday evening. For those who are in the DC area, we would like to invite you and your family and friends to our nightly <em>iftars</em> and <em>Tarawih </em>prayers at <strong>Masjid Al-Islam</strong> / 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019. <em>We would be delighted to have you share in the spirit of togetherness and taqwa!<br /></em></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><strong>Note on moon-sighting:</strong> Sighting the moon has been the traditional approach of Muslims since the time of the Holy Prophet <em>(saw)</em>. We do not intend to abandon this <em>Sunnah</em>, as unfortunately some Islamic organizations, centers, and <em>masjids</em> have. For more on moon-sighting, check out the the following links: <strong><a href="http://moonsighting.com/1432rmd.html">Moonsighting.com</a></strong> (scroll down to the bottom of the linked page to view confirmed sightings around the world) or <strong><a href="http://www.crescentwatch.org/cgi-bin/cw.cgi">Crescentwatch.org</a></strong>.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Click <strong><a href="http://www.sabiqun.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/SBQ-1.98.pdf">here</a></strong> to read one of our old newsletters regarding the purpose and nature of fasting in Ramadan, as well as its connection to the Islamic movement.</span>As-Sabiqun Updateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02423585013539791694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015180529039693138.post-1727652771021238702011-07-21T07:19:00.000-07:002011-07-21T07:28:19.429-07:00U.S. Prison-Industrial Complex + New Newsletter<div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:85%;">In a recent Press TV appearance, Imam Musa, along with two other guests, discusses the U.S. prison-industrial complex; the situation of Muslim and other activists who are locked away in prison; the injustices that are evident in prison-related statistics; the preposterous "War on Drugs"; and other very important and sometimes-missed issues. The U.S. has the highest prison population in the world--25% of the world's prisoners are found in U.S. prisons (although only 5% of the world population resides here). The number of U.S. prison inmates has more than <i>quadrupled</i> in the last 30 years.<br /><br />To see the video, click <a href="http://www.presstv.com/detail/188427.html"><b>here</b></a>. (Imam Musa is featured at about 15 minutes into the show.)<br /><br /></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:85%;">Imam Musa's final comments reflect the subject of our latest newsletter, entitled <b>"Decline and Fall of the American Empire (Part 1)"</b>--click <a href="http://www.sabiqun.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/SBQ-6.11.pdf"><b>here</b></a>. It is a very timely read, containing strong projections about America's future based on an assessment of current domestic and global trends. Unfortunately, many of our Muslim leaders have failed to give due attention to this very relevant and critical topic, much less prepared the Muslim community for its implications.<br /></span></div> <div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div>As-Sabiqun Updateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02423585013539791694noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015180529039693138.post-68764620282906312922011-07-18T08:04:00.000-07:002011-07-18T08:22:39.765-07:00Next Sunday: "The Decline & Fall of the American Empire" (Oakland)<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Is-5IxRy3e-iONyb2lEfdHyECCLsRZxosSjBhHtLqzBpQBYzdqtWTbpuwAW_Whf3AHSoUyl2HsS9PF-KH3pfMyqAw5TBtbi60VYdKrQfdLs-2-DFdoCZB73DddcuNc5dA5SrJ4hnFn8/s1600/Decline+%2526+Fall+OL+%25287.11%2529.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630709768726825874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Is-5IxRy3e-iONyb2lEfdHyECCLsRZxosSjBhHtLqzBpQBYzdqtWTbpuwAW_Whf3AHSoUyl2HsS9PF-KH3pfMyqAw5TBtbi60VYdKrQfdLs-2-DFdoCZB73DddcuNc5dA5SrJ4hnFn8/s320/Decline+%2526+Fall+OL+%25287.11%2529.png" border="0" /></a> <em><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">(Click on flier to enlarge)</span></em><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><strong>The Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare</strong> </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">presents…<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><strong>"THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE"<br /></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Speaker: Imam Abdul Alim Musa<br /><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><strong>Sunday, July 24, 2011 / 1:30 - 3:30 pm<br /></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><strong>Islamic Institute</strong> / 8109 MacArthur Blvd. / Oakland, CA 94605</span><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"><strong>Website: </strong></span><a href="http://www.sabiqun.org/"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">www.sabiqun.org</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"> / <strong>E-mail:</strong> </span><a href="mailto:imammusa2009@hotmail.com"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">imammusa2009@hotmail.com</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:78%;"> / </span></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><strong>Call:</strong> 510.969.5131 (office) / 202.904.1152 (cell)<br /></span><br /></div></span><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">The demise of the United States as the global superpower could come far more quickly than anyone could have imagined. A realistic assessment of domestic and global trends suggests that within 10 or 15 years from now, we could witness the full collapse of the American century. </span></div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">Despite the aura of omnipotence that most empires project, a look at history should remind us that they are fragile organisms. So delicate is their ecology of power that when things start to go bad, empires can unravel in a hurry. For example, look at fall of the Soviet Union from 1989-1991, or the fall of Great Britain in the 17-year period between World War I and World War II. </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">It seems that the once all-powerful USA could suffer a global stroke sometime during the 2020s or even sooner. </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">Although future historians may identify the Bush administration, the invasion of Afghanistan (2001), and the invasion of Iraq (2003) as the start of America’s downfall, we believe that the real starting point of America’s decline was born out of the Islamic Revolution in Iran (1979). </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">We view America’s decline as a global power as a present reality. <em>Should we not prepare for its fall?</em> Let us prepare and work for a new global harmony—a wholistic world vision. We invite everyone to planetary transformation; a global re-design. It is possible. It is the <em>impossible dream</em>.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">We see the 21st century as the evolutionary century. The evolution of Muslims is particularly necessary if Islam is to play its proper role in the coming future. </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><em><strong>“Ye are the best of Peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah…”</strong></em> (<em>Al ‘Imran</em>, 3:110)</div><br /><br /><div align="left"><br />If Muslims are to live out their role as <em>khaira Ummah</em>—the “best of peoples” or the “best community”—the Islamic movement must consciously subject itself to an evolutionary process. That is, Muslims must <em>rise to the occasion of our time</em>. We must, as a movement and as a people, evolve to the level necessary to develop the institutions in all areas which would propel us to emerge out of the gravity of self-imposed stagnation. </div><br /><br /><div align="left"><br />Toward this goal, we have opened two branch offices for the <strong>Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare</strong>. We have some exciting and important projects in the making, including: a College of Islamic Movement Studies, which will offer classes in Arabic, practical Qur’an and <em>Hadith </em>studies, <em>Akhlaq</em> (Islamic character), historical study of various Islamic movements, and strategic management under conditions of repression; a high-quality physical fitness program which will be results-oriented; and a Department of Strategic and Islamic Studies which will focus on analysis of world events affecting Muslims and strategic planning for the making of a better world.<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="left">A proper analysis of the situation of Muslims locally, nationally, and internationally, would show us that Muslims are not in control of their lives, situations, or events. In selecting and defining a future for ourselves, we must be very brave and innovative. Without a plan or strategy, we are subject to wherever the winds of change take us; we surrender our self-determination and limit ourselves to prevalent trends, currents, and circumstances. We must remind ourselves: Our future should not be determined by our past—it should be determined by our <em>imagination</em>. </div><br /><br /><div align="left"><br />Imagination is key. In order to succeed as Islamic workers, we can use our imagination to visualize the proper Islamic movement for this evolutionary century. Let us see ourselves as great problem-solvers and great communicators of truth, with the God-given ability to transform and re-create any kind of society we wish for.</span></div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></span></div></div>As-Sabiqun Updateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02423585013539791694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015180529039693138.post-30414702977934509692011-07-15T13:07:00.000-07:002011-07-15T13:10:22.894-07:00TONIGHT!
