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).

A Must-Watch: Live discussion incl. Imam Musa & Daniel Pipes

Yep, you heard right: Imam Musa and Daniel Pipes both appear on a recent installment of Press TV's "The Link". Very interesting, to say the least! It starts off with the question: "What is the problem: Islamophobia or Muslims themselves?"

"The Link" Explores Islamophobia

The setup of "The Link" is awesome, masha'Allah! It taps into the thoughts of regular people via simultaneous live audiences in Tehran, London, and DC--so you end up getting a unique discussion and points of view that you'd never hear about in the general media.

Imam Musa on the MOVE Organization, Iran, & Life Experiences

Catch up on Imam Musa's recent media appearances:

On the U.S. Government's Assault on MOVE - The 25th anniversary of the U.S. government's violent assault on MOVE just passed. MOVE is a very interesting organization based in Philadelphia which has promoted, since its founding in the early 1970s, a back-to-nature lifestyle and "green" worldview.

On Iran - Imam Musa appears at the end of this clip. He comments on the nuclear "discourse" (or miscourse).

On Life Experiences - Imam Musa gives a brief interview to Press TV reporters, discussing his experiences as a drug dealer and supporter of the Black liberation movement. He draws the important connection between the U.S. government and its corrupt involvement in the drug trade.

New Newsletters!

Since its inception, As-Sabiqun has been a movement/organization built on careful thinking, planning, forecasting, and work. This is perhaps best reflected by the longevity of As-Sabiqun: in spite of constant setbacks and opposition, As-Sabiqun has endured 15 years of existence as a nationwide movement, and if we regard the establishment of the first Masjid Al-Islam as our starting point, then we count 30 years. This has only been possible through the grace of Allah (swt), who blessed us with a strong leadership with a good grasp on the times that we live in.

The newsletters we have recently uploaded onto our website will give our readers a view into the thinking, planning, and strategizing that has gone into--and continues to go into--our movement work. They include our To-Do Lists of recent years (this year's is coming soon), one on the Anti-Terrorism Bill passed in 1996 and another on 9/11, and Imam Musa's most recent writings on strategy and strategic management. To view them, click here, or visit our website, go to Media > Newsletters.

• The to-do lists provide a picture of what our work really boils down to: small objectives that lead up to bigger goals. Although to-do lists have always been a part of our planning process, it is only in recent years that they have been published in our newsletter format. We are uploading them onto our site to give our supporters and those interested in As-Sabiqun an idea of the nitty-gritty. Let it be known that when it comes to As-Sabiqun, it's not "all talk".
  

• The newsletters on the Anti-Terrorism Bill and 9/11, from June 1999 and March 2002, respectively, give guidance and clarity for pivotal moments in our contemporary history as Muslims in North America. They cover issues that are defining issues in terms of Muslim leadership here in the U.S.
  

• Finally, there are Imam Musa's recent writings on the topics of strategy and management. "Strategy," from Sept. 2007, provides a comprehensive overview of our approach and understanding of environmental circumstances throughout the years. It is a testament to the steadfastness of our leadership and direction. "Strategic Management under Conditions of Repression," from Oct. 2008, is essential reading for those who consider themselves to be supporters of the Islamic movement in North America.
  

These writings should be taken for exactly what they are: not mere intellectual acrobatics, but insight born from years of struggle and hard work.

Two Heroes, Two Classics, & Some Updates

Two Heroes


Recently, while going through some spring-cleaning, this historic photo surfaced. It was taken during Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's 2007 visit to the UN headquarters in New York. Br. Yusuf from Boston also dug up a short YouTube video in which the President and Imam Musa pose together for a photo:



Two Classics

If you haven't seen these, well... watch 'em now:

Some Updates

• We're back on Facebook! Spread the word!
• For those who didn't read our October post, Blak Madeen, a Muslim hip hop team from Boston which has consistently shown us support, came out with a new album--Sacred Defense--last November. If you don't already have a copy, click here to buy one. A video for one of the tracks ("Engage the Enemy") can now be viewed here on their MySpace page. Thanks for all the support, brothers!
  
• Finally, please be patient while we go through some website changes. In the coming days and weeks, we will be transferring website management tasks from a professional (but overly busy) webmaster to "one of us". Bear with us as we learn the ropes... insha'Allah, in the long run, this should significantly improve our web presence.
