Imam Musa, Islamophobia, & Resolving "Tension" with the FBI

Earlier this week, Imam Musa made an appearance on an international news channel--RT America--to discuss the wave of Islamophobia being stirred up by Zionists and sustained by certain Zionist-smooching American politicians. Check it out:



At one point in the interview, Imam Musa mentions, "I was talking with the FBI the other day...". To get the scoop on how-the-heck-that-happened, listen to Imam Musa's prelude:



In this khutbah, Imam Musa discusses how to implement the best method of enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong, as outlined by the Qur'an and Sunnah. Other topics include: overcoming isolation from the general Muslim community; the fake Islamic threat manufactured and coordinated by international intelligence agencies to give Islam a bad name and justify their continued murder and occupation of Muslim peoples and lands; the importance of withdrawing from oppressors; managing fitnah so as to not be reactionary; and putting oneself through challenging trials in order to grow in faith--faith in Allah (swt) over fear of the U.S. government. (The volume may need to be turned up after about 4 minutes.)

On Moon Sighting + A Recent Message from Imam Musa

Firstly, As-Sabiqun would like to wish all of our members, workers, friends, supporters, and well-wishers a RAMADAN MUBARAK! May Allah's (swt) mercy, forgiveness, and grace be showered upon you during this blessed month and always. May He help you gain mastery over yourselves, build your taqwa, and grant you salvation from the Fire. We have started our fasting today based on several moon sightings which were confirmed on Wednesday evening. For those who are in the DC area, we would like to invite you and your family and friends to our nightly iftars and Tarawih prayers at Masjid Al-Islam / 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019. We would be delighted to have you share in the spirit of togetherness and taqwa!

Every year, confusion erupts over the correct start of Ramadan. A segment of our community bases their start on any international sighting of the new crescent moon; another segment bases it strictly on what the Saudi "authorities" decide; others base it on a regional sighting; and there are still others who start Ramadan based on calculation, regardless of moon-sighting (as is the case with ISNA and the Fiqh Council of North America). Here at Masjid Al-Islam, and As-Sabiqun in general, we start our Ramadan based on a reliable, confirmed regional sighting. As a note, this normally coincides with the majority of global sightings.

Sighting the moon has been the traditional approach of Muslims since the time of the Holy Prophet (saw). We do not intend to abandon this Sunnah, as unfortunately many Islamic organizations, centers, and masjids have.

For more on moon-sighting, check out the the following links: Crescentwatch.org or Moonsighting.com (although Moonsighting.com seems to accept the calculation approach, if you scroll down to the bottom of the linked page, you can still get an idea of actual confirmed sightings around the world).

Last weekend, on the eve of this blessed month, Muslim youth in the DC area organized the DC Hidayah Conference, which was held at the DC Convention Center. Though he was not asked to speak (despite the conference's title and "local flavor"), Imam Musa made use of the occasion by compiling a friendly message of solidarity which was to be handed out to the conference attendees. You can click on the flier or read the text below:

MESSAGE OF SOLIDARITY
to
DC HIDAYAH CONFERENCE ATTENDEES

“And Allah doth advance in guidance those who seek Guidance: and the things that endure, Good Deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best in respect of (their) eventual returns.” (19:76)

“At this time, as Muslims, we must 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.”

–Imam Abdul Alim Musa, As-Sabiqun Newsletter, June 2010

This is a message of solidarity to attendees of the DC Hidayah Conference from Masjid Al-Islam in Southeast Washington, DC.

As we continue in a great quest to build a new world, with all of its possibilities, the world’s enlightened people are coming closer to their true mission of fair custodianship (khilafah) and administration of the Earth and its resources in a way that will keep it healthy and wholesome, as Allah (swt) created it.

In the meantime, there is a one-eyed monster which is determined to maintain a world of oil spills, global warming, war, and incessant aggression. It has created and sustained a wave of Islamophobia (a persistent illogical or abnormal fear of Islam tailored by Western media on behalf of the CIA, FBI, Mossad, RAW, etc.) in order to justify and continue its global war on Islam. It has also kept up a steady dose of psychoterrorism, a phenomenon whereby the peoples of the world—including Muslims—are subjected to a constant diet of “terror” and “terrorism” via TV, websites, movies, books, and other media, to such a degree that they begin to make an automatic psychological association between the beautiful Deen of Islam on the one hand, and barbaric violence on the other. This process is also known as perception management. By it, Islam is made to seem like a religion of fanatics and suicide bombers, and the peace-loving Muslims of Iraq and Afghanistan are made out to be warmongers. Once this image is established in the public mind, it becomes easy to justify the invasion and brutal murder of innocent Muslims across the globe. It becomes easy to keep the Muslims here frozen in a defensive posture. All of this is built on a false image—not reality. This process, in turn, portrays the true villains—the RAW, CIA, FBI, Mossad, etc.—as heroes fighting for the “greater good.”

Inside the U.S., our movement has steadily carried on a successful campaign of psychological guerilla warfare. We have organized demonstrations for the last 30 years, in which we have spoken out on behalf of Islamic causes around the world, including human and animal rights. We have no fear of the FBI, Mossad, or any other Nazi-type of governmental organization. We have withstood every imaginable fitnah—from sabotage, infiltrators, agent provocateurs… to unexplainable huge fines, radical tax increases on our properties, and continuous “accidental” destruction and diversion of our assets, both human and material. Yet, we are still here, ready to serve.

We want to rise to a level necessary to combat the evil forces at work. The Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare needs your monetary help. There is a global war against us and we must rise to the occasion. The level of sophistication needed is beyond our present capacity. Help us with as big a contribution as your vision and faith can stand. You can send a check or money order to: Masjid Al-Islam / 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019.

As a movement, we have survived over 30 years of maximum U.S.-Israeli fitnah. This has never happened in U.S. history! Check the record. Google “Abdul Alim Musa” and it will give you an idea. We thank Allah (swt) in advance for your contribution.

Next Sunday: Bombing Patterns (DC)

BOMBING PATTERNS:
A Conspiracy Against Islam & Muslims

Sunday, July 25, 2010
5:00 - 7:30 pm

Speaker: Imam Abdul Alim Musa

Masjid Al-Islam / 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019

Website: www.sabiqun.org / E-mail: imammusa2009@hotmail.com / Call: 202.904.1152

“Mighty indeed were the plots which they made, but their plots were (well) within the sight of Allah, even though they were such as to shake the hills! Never think that Allah would fail His messengers in His promise: For Allah is Exalted in Power—the Lord of Retribution.” (14:46-47)

Every waking day, a new threatening Muslim-made plot seems to emerge and present itself in the Western media. One can barely watch the news without hearing about the newest bombing or other threat posed by some previously-unheard-of group Muslim terrorists.

We at Masjid Al-Islam are sick and tired of these bogus threats and news reports. We are sick and tired of Washington, DC (CIA), Tel Aviv (Mossad), and Hindustan (RAW) scheming, staging secretive operations, bombing and killing innocent people, and then blaming these attacks on Muslims in order to give Islam a bad name and justify their continued murder and occupation of Muslim peoples and lands.

We will not remain silent while innocent, hardworking, peace-loving Muslims are being killed on an unprecedented scale. We shall stand up for Islam, against oppression and injustice, whether the West likes it or not.

“Abraham was indeed a model. Devoutly obedient to Allah, (and) true in faith, and he joined not gods with Allah.” (16:120-122)

If we stand alone, we shall do our best to give a true representation of reality as we see it. If you would like to support the efforts of the Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare, send a check or money order to: Masjid Al-Islam / 4603 Benning Road SE / Washington, DC 20019 (please consider donating in the amount of $5,000, $1,000, $500, $250, or $100). Whatever you send, we pledge to use it—as we have in the past—in a judicious manner.

Next Week: Fundraising Dinner for the Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare (Oakland)

Masjid Al-Islam (Oakland), As-Sabiqun, the Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare, the Earth Liberation Front, and the Earth Rights Movement present…

A Fundraising Dinner for the
ISLAMIC INSTITUTE FOR COUNTER ZIONIST AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE

Saturday, June 26, 2010
5:30 – 7:30 pm

Masjid Al-Islam
8210 MacArthur Blvd.
Oakland, CA 94605

Speaker: Imam Abdul Alim Musa – “The De-Israelization & Re-Africanization of the Islamic Movement in North America”

The Islamic movement in North America has been taken over by the well-intentioned but naïve immigrant Muslim community. With hundreds if cathedral-like Islamic centers and masajid nationwide, the practicing Muslim population in North America is exploding in spite of the Zionist American opposition. Meanwhile, in the African American community, a once-thriving, once-vibrant community is struggling to survive.

In its rush toward integration and acceptance, the immigrant community has left the general Islamic community defenseless against the relentless Zionist American psychological onslaught. In contrast to this current reality, in the past, African American Muslim organizations were in the forefront of the struggle for freedom, liberation, and self-determination, always with a ready word against the evils perpetrated by the Zionists and the U.S. However, the wealthy immigrant community hijacked the Islamic agenda in North America by popularizing (and funding) speakers who would cooperate in their takeover and spread their message of assimilation. These speakers—mostly American, white and black—were paraded around America as experts in da’wah and the subject of “how to become more American while remaining a semi-Muslim.”

There is one person who, despite over 30 years of Islamic work and a 97% accuracy rate in forecasting the behavior of the Zionist-occupied American government, has been kept totally absent from all the Islamic conferences, conventions, seminars, and lecture halls in America. Why is it that Imam Abdul Alim Musa, founder of As-Sabiqun, has been isolated and/or undermined by virtually all other Islamic centers, groups, and organizations? On Saturday, June 26th, hear about this and other critical subjects that will be discussed:

• Why would two former students at SF State—one Palestinian and part of South Bay Islamic Association, one African American and part of Masjid Al-Islam in Oakland—both cooperate with each other to sabotage, destabilize, isolate, neutralize, and undermine our masjid, school, and property in East Oakland while distorting our message?

• What did Imam Musa do to become blacklisted by every Muslim organization in North America?

• What was the purpose of the creation of MSA West?

• Why are individuals like Mahdi Bray, who undermined our work in DC, be made into imams and leaders in immigrant Muslim organizations?

• Why would a huge Islamic center like Dar al-Hijrah in Northern VA hire as an imam an African American who sabotaged our work at Howard University?

• Why would the ADAMS Center (50 miles from DC) organize ‘Eid prayers in DC yet not inform nor invite anyone from the largest masjid in all of Washington, DC?

Imam Musa would like for all Muslims and members of Islamic organizations to question their leadership about these items, simply by asking: Is any of this true? And then: If it is true, what can we do to repair the damage done to the As-Sabiqun movement? If it is not true, why is Imam Musa saying this? Muslim leadership must be held accountable for repetitive negative behavior and its impact on the Islamic movement as a whole.

Dear Bay Area Muslims, you have known our work for 30 years in East Oakland, Washington, DC, and Philadelphia, PA. We have survived saboteurs, agent provocateurs, snitches, informants, and other mischievous characters, yet these Mossad-type agents have not been able to derail or destroy any of our places of worship, schools, or businesses.

Support us! We will continue to happily fight the Zionist American monster, insha’Allah. If you feel awkward, nervous, or fearful about attending our upcoming program, but would still like to support us, send your donation (in the form of check or money order) to: Masjid Al-Islam / 8210 MacArthur Blvd. / Oakland, CA 94605 (please consider donating in the amount of $5,000, $1,000, $500, $250, or $100).
