“A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not oppress him, nor does he leave him at the mercy of others.” [Sahih Muslim].
They do not do injustice to others nor do they tolerate any injustice to themselves. In their love and concern for each other, all members of this Brotherhood are one body: when any part of the body suffers, the whole body feels the pain [Sahih Muslim].
These are the ‘good’ pics, meaning as per the GupShup policies, they can be shown in any newspaper and are not gruesome…If you still decide to take them down, I have no objection…
For those that are dead in the pictures, Inna-Lillah-e-Wainna-Ilaih-e-Rajioon…
We have reached this very sad state of affairs because of cowardice and incompetence of the leaders and apathy of the Ummah in general; how very appropriate is the following Hadith of Rasool Allah (saw).
Abu Dawud recorded on the authority of Thawban who said that the Messenger of Allah (S) said:
"'(Disbelieving) nations will appear to be inviting each other to you just as diners invite each other to eat a bowl of stew.' Then someone asked: 'Will that be because we will be small in number at that time?' He answered: 'On the contrary, you, at that time, will be many. However, you will be scum and foam like the scum and foam of bodies of water. Allah will remove fear of you from the breasts of your enemies and Allah will instill al-wahn (weakness) in your hearts.' Someone asked: 'Oh Messenger of Allah, what is al-wahn?' He replied: 'Love of the life of this world and an aversion to dying.'"
Ibn-al-Jawzi [a 14th century Muslim scholar], May Allah (swt) have mercy on his soul, said said: "Woe unto you! Are you not pained and saddened when you see the enemy of God and your enemy stepping on your land, which was watered with your fathers' blood? The enemy is humiliating and enslaving you, while you were the masters of the world. Are not saddened and agitated when you see your brothers conquered by the enemy, giving them a taste of all sorts of humiliation?
Would you continue eating, drinking, and enjoying the pleasures of life while your brothers are engulfed in fire, walking through flames, and sleeping on embers? O people: The war has started, the call of jihad has been made, and the gates of heaven have been opened. Unless you choose to be the knights of the war, then make way for the women to wage this war, and go to your braziers and kohl jars, you women but with turbans and beards..."
Reminds me of what my 8 year old brother said, "All the presidents of this world will go to hell because they make war and so many people die, haina?" (confused face)
I guess the saddest thing is when leaders of the muslims countries don't speak up or take action appropriately when they should be doing so.
We are so lost in this world...:(
I am also reminded of what i read once.....
There is something which puzzles me and it is that all the Muslim governments and nations know what the problem is, they know that the hands of foreigners are involved to disunite them, they see that this disunity will weaken and destroy them, they see how the frail government of Israel has stood against the Muslims, and they know that if united and each one of them threw a bucket of water over Israel it would be washed away, yet still they are helpless before it.

Maybe if they worked toward a peaceful co-existence with Israel instead of trying to wash it away their efforts would be rewarded.
problem may look huge yet cure is so simple and easy, if only we work on our self starting with strengthing our iman (faith).
then things will slowly but surely come togather......thats the base.

Is it fair to blame the whole thing on US and Israel?
[/QUOTE]
Who would you blame? Do you know precisely who did it, claimed doing it or was it you who was the witness there? Or is your insinuation riding on the waves of popular opinion and propaganda?
You have to first of all realize who it is that has most to gain by any action, and you would have your answer...But here's the hint: Keep greed as the criteria and you'll have your answer...
If you all are as truthful as you would like people to believe, then do justice accordingly...Who hates who more? Which race of people on earth are bearing the brunt of hatred? Those pictures are proof...Because when a fight for true justice is launched, there are no such things as 'collateral damage' and 'civilian casualty' and 'unlawful combatants'...
If you are truly just and open-minded you will realize, that the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay may have been part of Taliban, but how many of them had known about any action to be undertaken...
So if that law was taken as acted out by America is concerned, it would follow that since Bush is a Republican, every Republican is an enemy to Iraqis and Republicans being Americans, would justify killing Americans becasue they brought Bush to power...
Of course if your hatred of Muslims knows no bounds then these pictures would give you pleasure...If they do give a certain sort of satisfaction, know, you hold hatred for us and nothing would please you more than our total annihilation...:)
