“ And (mention) when the angels said, ‘O Mary! Indeed God has chosen you, and purified you, and has chosen you above all other women of the worlds. O Mary! Be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those bow (in prayer).’ ” (Quran 3:42-43)

The Blessed Saint Mary (Maryam al-Muqaddasa) is a sensational film of the life of Saint Mary, the Virgin mother of Jesus, based on classical Islamic texts. The film begins with the birth of Mary and ends with the birth of Jesus, skilfully recreating the major events which Mary went through as well as that of Prophet Zachariah, Mary's guardian and a righteous Prophet of God.
This two hour presentation is a glorious illustration and depiction of the lofty station held by Mary in Islam, as well as the great stature of Prophet Zacharias.

Greatest Top 1oo People- The most Influenced in world History!

Michael H. Hart (born April 28, 1932 in New York City) is a American astrophysicist who has also written three books on history and controversial articles on a variety of subjects. Hart describes himself as a Jeffersonian liberal, Hart, a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science who enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Korean war, received his undergraduate degree at Cornell University in mathematics and later earned a Ph.D. in astrophysics at Princeton University. He also holds graduates degrees in physics, astronomy, and computer science, as well as a law degree. He was a research scientist at NASA before leaving to be a professor of physics at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. He has also taught both astronomy and history of science at Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, Maryland.

His best known book is The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History. His most recent book is Understanding Human History, which is a history of humanity beginning about 100,000 years ago and going through the 20th century. Unlike most other books on world history, Hart’s book explicitly discusses differences in average intelligence between various groups, explains when and why they arose, and discusses the effect that those differences have had on human history. this book which has sold more than 500,000 copies and been translated into 15 languages. His third book, A View from the Year 3000, published in 1999, is a history of the future which includes both technological advances and political developments.

Why Muhammad as "Number ONE" in the List?

by Michael H. Hart

Muhammad as number ONE to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.

Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions, and became an immensely effective political leader, diplomat, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, reformer, statesmen, husband, father and military leader the man whose legacy continues to shape people's life Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive.

The majority of the persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised in centers of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Muhammad, however, was born in the year 570 A.D, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning. Orphaned at age six (Father past way before his birth and mother past away when he was six), he was reared in modest surroundings. Islamic tradition tells us that he was illiterate. His economic position improved when, at age twenty-five, he married a wealthy widow. Nevertheless, as he approached forty, there was little outward indication that he was a remarkable person (Arabs nick named him as Al-Amin meaning "The Trustworthy").

Most Arabs at that time were pagans, who believed in many gods. There were, however, in Mecca, a small number of Jews and Christians; When he was forty years old, Muhammad became convinced that this one true God (Allah) was speaking to him, and had chosen him to spread the true faith.

For three years, Muhammad preached only to close friends and associates. Then, about 613, he began preaching in public. As he slowly gained converts, the Meccan authorities came to consider him a dangerous nuisance. In 622, fearing for his safety, Muhammad fled to Medina (a city some 200 miles north of Mecca), where he had been offered a position of considerable political power.

This flight, called the Hegira, was the turning point of the Prophet's life. In Mecca, he had few followers. In Medina, he had many more, and he soon acquired an influence that made him a virtual dictator. During the next few years, while Muhammad's following grew rapidly, a series of battles were fought between Medina and Mecca. This was ended in 630 with Muhammad's triumphant return to Mecca as conqueror. The remaining two and one-half years of his life witnessed the rapid conversion of the Arab tribes to the new religion. When Muhammad died, in 632, he was the effective ruler of all of southern Arabia.

The Bedouin tribesmen of Arabia had a reputation as fierce warriors. But their number was small; and plagued by disunity and internecine warfare, they had been no match for the larger armies of the kingdoms in the settled agricultural areas to the north. However, unified by Muhammad for the first time in history, and inspired by their fervent belief in the one true God, these small Arab armies now embarked upon one of the most astonishing series of conquests in human history. To the northeast of Arabia lay the large Neo-Persian Empire of the Sassanids; to the northwest lay the Byzantine, or Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople. Numerically, the Arabs were no match for their opponents. On the field of battle, though, the inspired Arabs rapidly conquered all of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine. By 642, Egypt had been wrested from the Byzantine Empire, while the Persian armies had been crushed at the key battles of Qadisiya in 637, and Nehavend in 642.

But even these enormous conquests-which were made under the leadership of Muhammad's close friends and immediate successors, Abu Bakr and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab -did not mark the end of the Arab advance. By 711, the Arab armies had swept completely across North Africa to the Atlantic Ocean There they turned north and, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, overwhelmed the Visigothic kingdom in Spain.

For a while, it must have seemed that the Moslems would overwhelm all of Christian Europe. However, in 732, at the famous Battle of Tours, a Moslem army, which had advanced into the center of France, was at last defeated by the Franks. Nevertheless, in a scant century of fighting, these Bedouin tribesmen, inspired by the word of the Prophet, had carved out an empire stretching from the borders of India to the Atlantic Ocean-the largest empire that the world had yet seen. And everywhere that the armies conquered, large-scale conversion to the new faith eventually followed.

Now, not all of these conquests proved permanent. The Persians, though they have remained faithful to the religion of the Prophet, have since regained their independence from the Arabs. And in Spain, more than seven centuries of warfare 5 finally resulted in the Christians reconquering the entire peninsula. However, Mesopotamia and Egypt, the two cradles of ancient civilization, have remained Arab, as has the entire coast of North Africa. The new religion, of course, continued to spread, in the intervening centuries, far beyond the borders of the original Moslem conquests. Currently it has tens of millions of adherents in Africa and Central Asia and even more in Pakistan and northern India, and in Indonesia. In Indonesia, the new faith has been a unifying factor. In the Indian subcontinent, however, the conflict between Moslems and Hindus is still a major obstacle to unity.

How, then, is one to assess the overall impact of Muhammad on human history? Like all religions, Islam exerts an enormous influence upon the lives of its followers. It is for this reason that the founders of the world's great religions all figure prominently in this book . Since there are roughly twice as many Christians as Moslems in the world, it may initially seem strange that Muhammad has been ranked higher than Jesus. There are two principal reasons for that decision. First, Muhammad played a far more important role in the development of Islam than Jesus did in the development of Christianity. Although Jesus was responsible for the main ethical and moral precepts of Christianity (insofar as these differed from Judaism), St. Paul was the main developer of Christian theology, its principal proselytizer, and the author of a large portion of the New Testament.

Muhammad, however, was responsible for both the theology of Islam and its main ethical and moral principles. In addition, he played the key role in proselytizing the new faith, and in establishing the religious practices of Islam. Moreover, he is the messenger of the Moslem holy scriptures, the Koran, a collection of certain of Muhammad's insights that he believed had been directly revealed to him by Allah. Most of these utterances were copied more or less faithfully during Muhammad's lifetime and were collected together in authoritative form not long after his death.  No such detailed compilation of the teachings of Christ has survived. Since the Koran is at least as important to Moslems as the Bible is to Christians, the influence of Muhammed through the medium of the Koran has been enormous It is probable that the relative influence of Muhammad on Islam has been larger than the combined influence of Jesus Christ and St. Paul on Christianity. On the purely religious level, then, it seems likely that Muhammad has been as influential in human history.

Furthermore, Muhammad (unlike Jesus) was a secular as well as a religious leader. In fact, as the driving force behind the Arab conquests, he may well rank as the most influential political leader of all time.

Of many important historical events, one might say that they were inevitable and would have occurred even without the particular political leader who guided them. For example, the South American colonies would probably have won their independence from Spain even if Simon Bolivar had never lived. But this cannot be said of the Arab conquests. Nothing similar had occurred before Muhammad, and there is no reason to believe that the conquests would have been achieved without him. The only comparable conquests in human history are those of the Mongols in the thirteenth century, which were primarily due to the influence of Genghis Khan. These conquests, however, though more extensive than those of the Arabs, did not prove permanent, and today the only areas occupied by the Mongols are those that they held prior to the time of Genghis Khan.

It is far different with the conquests of the Arabs. From Iraq to Morocco, there extends a whole chain of Arab nations united not merely by their faith in Islam, but also by their Arabic language, history, and culture. The centrality of the Koran in the Moslem religion and the fact that it is written in Arabic have probably prevented the Arab language from breaking up into mutually unintelligible dialects, which might otherwise have occurred in the intervening thirteen centuries. Differences and divisions between these Arab states exist, of course, and they are considerable, but the partial disunity should not blind us to the important elements of unity that have continued to exist. For instance, neither Iran nor Indonesia, both oil-producing states and both Islamic in religion, joined in the oil embargo of the winter of 1973-74. It is no coincidence that all of the Arab states, and only the Arab states, participated in the embargo.

We see, then, that the Arab conquests of the seventh century have continued to play an important role in human history, down to the present day. It is this unparalleled combination of secular and religious influence which I feel entitles Muhammad to be considered the most influential single figure in human history.

Why Interest (Riba) is prohibited in Islam?

Why Interest (Riba) is prohibited in Islam?

By Car Lanka   11:12 PM   No comments:

It is worth to present an example to start with the subject, a factual example from existing interest based banking methodology that is valid and current, which can be well understood by a common person. One should consider the following facts before going through the example. The facts are:

• Only Banks create money.
• The created money is then supplied in to the economy only in the form of loan at some specified interest.
• There are no other institutions that create money other than banks.

The example - an astonishing fact

As all the banks are creating money and supplying in to the economy on interest and without any doubt all of them are practicing the same technique, so let us consider there is only one bank in our example that creates some money and supply in to the people's economy.

Suppose Bank XYZ creates Dirhams 100,000 and supplies it at an interest rate of 10% per annum to several entrepreneurs and governmental units active in the economy, remember there is no money available in the economy from any other source. The bank has taken substantial collateral or guarantee as security of its money from each borrower. See in the following diagram - the borrowers intake loan and repayment liabilities at the end of the first year:

It is very simple and clear that at the end of the first year, a combined sum of Dirhams 110,000 is due on all borrowers to repay to the loaning bank.

But the money available in the economy is only Dirhams 100,000 as the bank is only supplier of money, so from where the rest 10,000 would come that is the difference in the borrowers intake and total repayment amount...... from NOWHERE. Yes, that is right from nowhere because that money does not exist in the economy.

Look at the scene, the bank is the only supplier of money, it creates and supplies 100,000 in the economy and that is the total money available in the economy, but as per loan agreements - these borrowers collectively have to pay back 110,000. How is that possible? There is no way. Don't you believe, it is 100% like this - no less. This is cheating and criminal foul play.

So what will happen, at least one or more of these borrowers would default on their loan(s) and would loose their personal assets or belonging that they had put as security to the bank for the repayment.

The money creator has designed a mechanism that would force few of the borrowers each year to default so that bank could forfeit the security assets and gain wealth by foul play.

This is an eye opening example for those who previously had no idea about the mechanism of banks as how they operate and cause artificial shortage (scarcity) of the money in the societies. This is happening every where in this world from USA to the smallest country on this beautiful planet. This artificial scarcity of money is the root cause of people's problems from hard struggle for surviving to the loss of happiness from their lives.

In a Riba (interest) based system, people are not aware of this foul play - borrowers think that they will manage to repay the principal plus Riba (interest) as they think it would be coming from some where else, but the fact is - every borrower would be in battle with others where some borrowers have to lose in order for others to win, some would fail to pay their loans in order for others to get the sum they need to pay off the Riba (Interest). When seen in totality, the supply side is always in deficit and the liability is always in excess due to Riba (interest), the total combined supply cannot discharge the liability.

After going through the above real example, I believe, now we are close to find out why Riba was declared Haram in Quran and Sunnah.

Let us begin with the economic reasoning of WHY:

1. The availability of each produce is limited, the liability cannot exceed the availability limit.
2. In any transaction, if a liability of produce "in excess" of "the produce available" is created, that extra liability would be artificial because excess quantity of produce does not exist.

This universal economic code applies to each and every type of produce; to further get in to the explanation of the rule, let us now identify what represents "the produce", "the transaction", and "extra liability":

The Produce

In its general expression "the produce" is any thing available to human beings for their use or consumption, but here specifically those produce that can be involved in a transaction, it is best to take historical standards of transactions which are based on produce like gold, silver, grains, currency etc. because throughout history all transactions are carried out in publicly acceptable produce only. These produce have served the societies as "medium of exchange", so it is more appropriate logically and historically to consider the produce as "the medium of exchange" which is again a general expression and can accommodate any other commodity/produce that may be used in a transaction.

The Transaction

In this universal economic principle, the transaction is based on a single produce and naturally it can only be a transaction of loan or exchange and nothing else. Although donations/grants also involve only one produce but that is not a transaction because a transaction means exchange of good(s) and/or service(s) either on spot or in any specified time frame involving one or more types of produce.

Extra Liability

Riba (interest, usury) is that extra liability created in excess of the produce available and that does not exist. Every liability is a demand in practice, the basic rule of economics known to every one is that to maintain economic equilibrium (stability) in the society, the supply side should be equal to the demand, if the demand is more than the supply - a shortage will occur. Creating an extra liability means creating an extra demand without increasing equal supply, this will start a never ending mechanism of perpetually increasing the shortage of that produce in the society.

Conclusion:

Riba was prohibited just to prevent the creation of "extra liability/demand" because that is fake and "does not exist" physically, this artificial "extra liability/demand" creates scarcity of the produce in the society and unjustly accumulation of the produce in few hands. Riba (interest, usury) is a mechanism and dangerous weapon that has a power to get hold of assets/properties of individuals, enterprises, and nations deceitfully. This is unfair and against the nature, so ALLAH (SWT) banned Riba (interest, usury) very strictly to stop this criminal action.

Nature is the Limit in Islam; any thing not natural is prohibited, stopped, and declared illegal. The above economic reasons are the only base for the prohibition of Riba, ALLAH (SWT) has allowed everything that is natural but given its strict judgment to stop any behavior, agreement, and practice that is not natural.

Riba (interest, usury) is primarily an economic issue in view of the fact that all religions and mythologies have prohibited, restricted, discouraged, disliked, or degraded Riba in one way or the other since the inception of human interaction. All three major revealed (Ilhami) religions i.e., Islam, Christianity, and Judaism have strongly condemned and prohibited Riba in its original versions. Later, the clerics of Jews and Christian Church abandoned the prohibition of Riba (interest, usury) that led the mankind into the economic anarchy of the present era.

History of Islam and science || BBC documentary (the language of science)

The contribution of Muslim scientists in the golden age of the Islamic civilization was substantial. The enthusiasm for gaining knowledge was spread all over the nation. The main reason of this is the appreciation of Islam for seeking knowledge and the encouragement it presents in its teachings. But a few centuries after this enthusiasm has decreased until it reaches the current state.

It is believed that, this happened because of many factors that have accumulated on the Muslim society to create the current backwardness in the field of knowledge and science. I can list here some of them:

(1) The weakness of faith and obsession with materials. Muslims in the golden ages had appreciation for those who were involved in knowledge. That appreciation has went down with the increasing care for satisfaction of materialistic desires rather than relation to values, including knowledge.

(2) The weakness of the empire of Islam after the tenth century, causing many splits among Muslims and involving in wars among each other. Also, the Mongols massively attacked the empire from the east, and the crusaders and Spanish from the west. In Baghdad, which was one of the knowledge beacons at the time, the Mongols killed many scholars and scientists, and burned and ruined many books of the great libraries of Baghdad. They even say that the river went black because of the ink of the books thrown in it.

(3) The preference of culture and traditions over religion and knowledge. A lot think now of religion as a mere spiritual path, or at least that is how they practice it. Relating sciences to just “a way” to work, have jobs and earn money has killed the ambition of Muslim scientists.

(4) I don’t believe that the “settle” of Islamic sciences (sciences in Islamic faith) was the main reason of the fall of all other sciences, yet it might be still a factor. The Islamic sciences were automatically settled after the first three centuries of the Islamic empire. This “settle” did not cause a complete stop for researches in Islamic sciences. Rather, it has made the narrations of the great scholars of the first three centuries as sub-references.

(5) The colonization of Islamic territories. Colonialism had negatively affected the Muslim society in many ways. It separated and divided the Muslims world into small countries, causing the loss of Islamic unity. It also had a control over people and the way they think through economics, media, and ideologies spread in the society. Colonialism brought the western ideologies and tried to replace Islam by them, and although they “generally” didn’t succeed in that, they had a significant effect on the mindset of Muslims.

(6) The weakness and backwardness of administration the Muslim countries. There is barely any support for researches and inventions in the Muslim countries. Also, the appreciations and rewards for accomplishments are hardly presented.

In the current time, there are a lot of Muslim scientists who have the potentials for scientific researches, yet the governments and societies of Muslim countries do not support them or appreciate their work. Consequently, many of those scientists migrate to western countries, where they find appreciation and encouragement for their work.

For Women Are Rights over Men Similar to Those of Men over Women

For Women Are Rights over Men Similar to Those of Men over Women

For Women Are Rights over Men Similar to Those of Men over Women


THERE is absolutely no difference in Islam between men and women as far as their relationship to Allah is concerned, as both of them are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct. The Holy Qur'aan says: "And for women are rights over men similar to those of men over women." (2:226).


The Holy Qur'aan, in addressing the believers, often uses the expression 'believing men and women' to emphasise the equality of men and women in regard to their respective duties, rights, virtues and merits. It says: "For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise, for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward." (33:35)

This clearly contradicts the claim of the Christian Fathers that women do not possess souls and that they will exist as sexless beings in the next life. The Holy Qur'aan says that women have souls in exactly the same way as men and will enter Paradise if they do good. The Holy Book says: "Enter into Paradise, you and your wives, with delight." (43:70). And: "Who so does that which is right, and believes, whether male or female, him or her will We quicken to happy life." (16:97)

The Holy Qur'aan admonishes those men who oppress or ill-treat women: "O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should you treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the dowry you have given them, except when they have become guilty of open lewdness. On the contrary, live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If you take a dislike to them, it may be that you dislike something and Allah will bring about through it a great deal of good." (4:19)

Teachings of the Noble Qur'aan were revolutionary as regard to the fact that before the advent of Islam, the pagan Arabs used to bury their daughters alive, forced women to dance naked in the vicinity of the holy Ka'aba during their annual fairs, and treat them as mere chattels and objects of sexual pleasure, possessing no right or position whatsoever.

Unlike other religions, which considered women as being possessed of inherent sin and wickedness and men as being possessed of inherent virtue and nobility, Islam regards men and women as being of the same essence created from a single soul.

The Holy Qur'aan declares: "O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord, Who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, his mate, and from this pair scattered (like seeds) countless men and women. Reverence Allah, through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and reverence the wombs (that bore you); for Allah ever watches over you." (4:1)

Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) said: "Women are the twin halves of men." The Holy Qur'aan emphasises the essential unity of men and women in a most beautiful simile: "They (your wives) are your garment and you are a garment for them." (2:187)

Just as a garment hides our nakedness, so do husband and wife, by entering into the relationship of marriage, secure each other's chastity. The garment gives comfort to the body; so does the husband find comfort in his wife's company and she in his. "The garment is the grace, the beauty, the embellishment of the body, so too are wives to their husbands as their husbands are to them."

Islam does not consider woman "an instrument of the Devil", but rather the Holy Qur'aan calls her "Muhsana" -- a fortress against Satan -- because a good woman, by marrying a man, helps him keep to the path of rectitude in his life. It is for this reason that Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) considered marriage as a most virtuous act. He said: "When a man marries, he has completed one half of his religion." He enjoined matrimony on the Muslims by saying: "Marriage is part of my way and whoever keeps away from my way is not from me (ie is not my follower)."

The Holy Qur'aan says: "And among His signs is this, that He has created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquillity with them; and He has put love and mercy between you. Verily in that are signs for those who reflect." (30:21)

Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) was full of praise for virtuous and chaste women. He said: "The world and all things in the world are precious but the most precious thing in the world is a virtuous woman." He once told the future caliph, Umar: "Shall I not inform you about the best treasure a man can hoard? It is a virtuous wife who pleases him whenever he looks towards her, and who guards herself when he is absent from her."

On other occasions, the Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) said: "The best property a man can have is a remembering tongue (about Allah), a grateful heart and a believing wife who helps him in his faith." And again: "The world, the whole of it, is a commodity and the best of the commodities of the world is a virtuous wife."

Before the advent of Islam, women were often treated worse than animals. The Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) wanted to put a stop to all cruelties to women. He preached kindness towards them. He told the Muslims: "Fear Allah in respect of women." And: "The best of you are they who behave best to their wives." And: "A Muslim must not hate his wife, and if he be displeased with one bad quality in her, let him be pleased with one that is good." And: "The more civil and kind a Muslim is to his wife, the more perfect in faith he is."

Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allaho alaihe waasallam) was most emphatic in enjoining upon the Muslims to be kind to their women when he delivered his famous sermon on the Mount of Mercy (Jabal-e-Rahmat) at Arafat in the presence of one hundred and twenty-four thousand of his Companions who had gathered there for the Farewell Pilgrimage.

In it, he ordered to those who were present and through them all those Muslims who were to come later, to be respectful and kind towards women. He said: "Fear Allah regarding women. Verily you have married them with the trust of Allah, and made their bodies lawful with the word of Allah. You have got (rights) over them, and they have got (rights) over you in respect of their food and clothing according to your means."

In Islam, a woman is a completely independent personality. She can make any contract or bequest in her own name. She is entitled to inherit in her position as mother, as wife, as sister and as daughter. She has perfect liberty to choose her husband. The pagan society of pre-Islamic Arabia had an irrational prejudice against their female children whom they used to bury alive.

The Messenger of Allah (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) was totally opposed to this practice. He showed them that supporting their female children would act as a screen for them against the fire of Hell: It is narrated by the Prophet's wife, 'A'isha, that a woman entered her house with two of her daughters. She asked for charity but 'A'isha could not find anything except a date, which was given to her. The woman divided it between her two daughters and did not eat any herself. Then she got up and left.

When the Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) came to the house, 'A'isha told him about what had happened and he declared that when the woman was brought to account (on the Day of Judgment) about her two daughters they would act as a screen for her from the fires of Hell. The worst calamity for a woman is when her husband passes away and, as a widow, the responsibility of maintaining the children falls upon her. In the Eastern World, where a woman does not always go out to earn her living, the problems of widowhood are indescribable.

Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) upheld the cause of widows. Most of his wives were widows. In an age when widows were rarely permitted to remarry, the Prophet encouraged his followers to marry them. He was always ready to help widows and exhorted his followers to do the same. Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet said: "One who makes efforts (to help) the widow or a poor person is like a mujahid (warrior) in the path of Allah, or like one who stands up for prayers in the night and fasts in the day." Woman as mother commands great respect in Islam.

The Noble Qur'aan speaks of the rights of the mother in a number of verses. It enjoins Muslims to show respect to their mothers and serve them well even if they are still unbelievers. The Prophet states emphatically that the rights of the mother are paramount.

Abu Hurairah reported that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) and asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who is the person who has the greatest right on me with regards to kindness and attention?" He replied, "Your mother." "Then who?" He replied, "Your mother." "Then who?" He replied, "Your mother." "Then who?" He replied, "Your father."

In another tradition, the Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) advised a believer not to join the war against the Quraish in defense of Islam, but to look after his mother, saying that his service to his mother would be a cause of his salvation.

Mu'awiyah, the son of Jahimah, reported that Jahimah came to the Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) and said to the Messenger of Allah: "I want to join the fighting (in the path of Allah) and I have come to seek your advice." He said, "Then remain in your mother's service, because Paradise is under her feet."

The Prophet's followers accepted his teachings and brought about a revolution in their social attitude towards women. They no longer considered women as mere chattels, but as an integral part of society. For the first time, women were given the right to have a share in inheritance.

In the new social climate, women rediscovered themselves and became highly active members of society rendering useful service during the wars, which the pagan Arabs forced on the emerging Muslim Ummah. They carried provisions for the soldiers, nursed them, and even fought alongside them if it was necessary. It became a common sight to see women helping their husbands in the fields, carrying on trade and business independently, and going out of their homes to satisfy their needs.

Hadhrat Aisha (Radhi Allaho anha) reported that Hadhrat Saudah (Radhi Allaho anha) went out one night. Hadhrat Umar saw her and recognized her and said, "By God, O Saudah, why do you not hide yourself from us?" She went back to the Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam) and told him about it while he was having supper in her room, and he said, "It is permitted by Allah for you to go out for your needs."

The predominant idea in the teachings of Islam with regard to men and women is that a husband and wife should be full-fledged partners in making their home a happy and prosperous place, that they should be loyal and faithful to one another, and genuinely interested in each other's welfare and the welfare of their children. A woman is expected to exercise a humanizing influence over her husband and to soften the sternness inherent in his nature. A man is enjoined to educate the women in his care so that they cultivate the qualities in which they, by their very nature, excel.

These aspects were much emphasised by the Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam). He exhorted men to marry women of piety and women to be faithful to their husbands and kind to their children. He said: "Among my followers the best of men are those who are best to their wives, and the best of women are those who are best to their husbands. To each of such women is set down a reward equivalent to the reward of a thousand martyrs. Among my followers, again, the best of women are those who assist their husbands in their work, and love them dearly for everything, save what is a transgression of Allah's laws."

Once Mu'awiyah asked the Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihe wasallam), "What are the rights that a wife has over her husband?" The Prophet replied, " Feed her when you take your food, give her clothes to wear when you wear clothes, refrain from giving her a slap on the face or abusing her, and do not separate from your wife, except within the house." Once a woman came to the Prophet with a complaint against her husband. He told her: "There is no woman who removes something to replace it in its proper place, with a view to tidying her husband's house, but that Allah sets it down as a virtue for her. Nor is there a man who walks with his wife hand-in-hand, but that Allah sets it down as a virtue for him; and if he puts his arm round her shoulder in love, his virtue is increased tenfold."

Once he was heard praising the women of the tribe of Quraish, "...because they are the kindest to their children while they are infants and because they keep a careful watch over the belongings of their husbands." The Shari'ah regards women as the spiritual and intellectual equals of men. The main distinction it makes between them is in the physical realm based on the equitable principle of fair division of labour. It allots the more strenuous work to the man and makes him responsible for the maintenance of the family. It allots the work of managing the home and the upbringing and training of children to the woman, work which has the greatest importance in the task of building a healthy and prosperous society.

Similarities between Islam and Christianity

Similarities between Islam and Christianity

By Car Lanka   6:30 AM   No comments:

Many non muslims build their understanding of Islam based on misconceptions. What most of them don't know is that Islam and Christianity have much in common than meets the eye. For example, a Muslim is not even considered a true believer if he does not accept Jesus as a Prophet who came with the truth. In fact, Islam is the only non Christian religion that believes in this concept.

The Topic: Similarities between Islam and Christianity

Dr. Zakir Naik describes similar concepts from both Christian as well as Islamic texts. He narrates stories which are referenced in both religions. There are so many simialirities that anyone, Christian or Muslim would be amazed.

"The Satanic Verses"

unexpurgated

By Ahmed Deedat

THE PEN AND THE SWORD

So far 'Satanic' Salman has succeeded in causing the death of 40 Muslim men, widowed Muslim women and orphaned Muslim children with his poisoned pen, proving the old saying (if proof was needed) that "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword!"

Despite all my anger, sorrow and bitterness i still plead with my fellow Muslims in travail - "Stop crying", "Don't wail!", "No more protest marches or book burning!" All our visible signs of pain and anguish are giving the enemies of Islam gleeful sadistic pleasures. I say, STOP IT! Turn the Tables!

TURNING THE TABLES

Let us learn a lesson from the life of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). His detractors came to him again and again with posers - and riddles as recorded in the Christian New Testament. His own people, the Jews, came to him, whit mockery on their lips and mischief in their hearts, saying "Master, we caught this women in the act of adultery, what must we do to her?"1 Jesus turned the tables on the Jews. Again, on another occasion, they said, "Master, must we pay tribute (taxes) to Caesar or not? Once more again Jesus turned the tables on the Jews in the temple of Solomon on his triumphant march into Jerusalem with his disciples, he physically overturned the money-changers´ tables and, with a corded whip, whipped them out of the Temple2. We shamefully acknowledge that we lack the potency to whip anybody, but every Muslim who reads these words and understands what he is reading can turn the tables on every Westerner who defends Rushdie.

UNEXPURGATED RUSHDIE

There is no way of cleaning the stable without dirtying your hands. I have seen numerous TV programmes debating Rushdie´s "Satanic Verses." But not one, I repeat again NOT ONE, Muslim defender of our Cause grappled with the nettle. One who came nearest was one of our intellectuals who, when prodded as to what in Rushdie´s book created such terrible umbrage in the Muslim minds, in Rushdie´s work, timidly quoted the word "bhaenchud" Satanic Salman´s "The Satanic Verses."

What did this word "bhaenchud mean to some 50 million American viewers on ABC or was it PBS TV network? Absolutely NOTHING!

"Bhaenchud" is only for starters. You have been warned. This publication , the word "UNEXPURGATED" , which means that Rushdie´s text in his original "The Satanic Verses" are not tampered with. That nothing is done by me to remove, expunge, erase any obscene or pornographic word or phrase. If you can´t stomach Rushdie´s "shit"3 in print, please tear up this publication and throw it in your toilet pan. In all my lectures on Rushdie, I had warned my audiences in advance that my talks were "Definitely not for Prudes, children and Bashful Men and Women"!

From now on, you can look forward to sharing the "gems" (the shit which Rushdie has excreted) whit your Western friends and neighbours. Create opportunities to expound "The Satanic Verses".

A NOVEL APPROACH

Begin like this - "Admitted that Rushdie has many filthy, dirty and obscene things to say about Islam and its heroes and heroines: but sir, do you know what he has to say about you, his benefactors and protectors, what thanks he gives you for his upbringing, cultural and moral deportment, and unsolicited refuge and hospitality?"

On the very first4 page of "The Satanic Verses", Rushdie calls his god-fathers the British- "PROPER LONDON, BHAI!5 HERE WE COME! THOSE BASTARDS DOWN THERE WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT THEM."

Bastards! He could have said those sons of bitches. But wait, let Rushdie get warmed up.

The first time i ever uttered the word "bastard" was in the early sixties at a public meeting in the City Hall of Durban, at question time, I happened to quote a verse from the Holy Bible to illustrate a point; I had read:

"The bastard shall not enter the conregation of the Lord; even unto the tenth generation...?" Deuteronomy 23:2

This one word - bastard, nearly brought the roof down on me! How could Deedat utter such a word? Remember, I was only quoting! My audience did not know that this Anglo-Saxon unsavoury word bastard was repeated in the "Book of Books" only three times, in nearly 1,500 pages. Rushdie does it 29 times in his bid to beat all records for all times in his tome of 500, double-spaced, sparasely typed pages. Observe this evil genius constructing a one-word sentence out of it.

"THAT, AND ALSO HER, THE ICEWOMAN, BASTARD. (note: this b-a-s-t-a-r-d is a sentence by itself) NOW THAT I AM DEAD I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO FORGIVE. " Page 8 of the Devil's "The Satanic Verses" (in short TVS in all future references.).

This Devil incarnate has learnt from his British peers the art of staccato sentences. Now watch him do the impossible whit words. He can introduce THREE "bastards" in a single short sentence..."THAT BASTARDS, THOSE BASTARDS, THEIR LACK OF BASTARDS6 TASTE" (PAGE 137 TSV).

WHAT A PRIZE!

Could Viking/Penguin, the publishers of this filth, have given Rushdie eight hundred thousand dollars ($800,000) as advance money for this? Not likely! They have good (?) business sense. They smelt their "PIECE OF PIG EXCREMENT" (Rushdie's words: page 7 TVS), "ROTTEN COCKROACH DUNG" (page 13 TVS). Not smelly enough? Rushdie excretes his shit quite late in his book; in his own words - "THE SHIT STARTS" (page 434 TVS). Please check up! "THIS SHIT, YOU CUNTS," "IT'S SHIT," "IT'S FUCKING SHIT," "SHIT DINNER," Four "shits" on one page alone (p441 TVS), page 449 "THREW SHIT." Page 461 "WHIT MAN'S SHIT," there must be something special in it for this Brown Britisher, because he says, "BLACK SHIT IS BAD," on page 529 of his bullshit book TVS, and also on page 461 "NIGGER EAT WHITE MAN'S WHIT," and he shuns his reasons, as to why!

PROLOGUE

Satan, being thus confined to a vagabond, wandering, unsettled condition, is without any certain abode; for though he has, in consequence of his angelic nature, a kind of empire in the liquid waste or air, yet this is certainly part of his punishment, that he is ... without any fixed place, or space, allowed him to rest the sole of his foot upon.

Daniel Defoe, The History of the Devil

All this shit of Rushdie will not satiate Peter Mayer the Director of Penguin and his fellow gluttons. They need something more sicky and stinky to satisfy their depraved tastes. And, Rushdie is their man of the hour. There will never be another to get away whit the lampooning of Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Jews. Blacks as well as all Whites! Not even sparing the "Iron Lady" nor the Queen of Great Britian. If you, the reader, have come thus far, you might as well go the whole hog. Finish this book!

SELECTIVE SENSITIVITY

Everyone in the West, British and American, giants of the literary world, are not impervious to sacrilege, insults and profanities as contained in "The Satanic Verses". Roald Dahl, a British author and member of the Literaray Guild had some pertinent remarks as reproduced from "The Daily News" dated March 1 st, 1989 (see next page). Cynical supporters of Rushdie's rights of freedom of speech and expression might say that for Dahl it was a question of "sour grapes", not having been nominated for the short-list of the prestigious "Book Award" himself.

CHRISTIAN AND JEW UNITE

What would they say of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Robert Rucie, who has said in the first official statement by the Church of England "ONLY THE UTTERLY INSENSITIVE CAN FAIL TO SEE THAT THE PUBLICATION OF SALMAN RUSHDIE'S BOOK HAS DEEPLY OFFENDED MUSLIMS BOTH HERE AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD." The Anglican Primate continued: "I UNDERSTAND THEIR FEELINGS AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT OFFENCE TO RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF THE FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM OR ANY OTHER FAITH IS QUITE AS WRONG AN OFFENCE AS TO THE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF CHRISTIANS."

And what have the dullards on the Rushdie bandwagon to say of the Chief Rabbi of Britain, Lord Jakobovits, who has the first religious leader in Britain to "DEPRECATE....THE OFFENCE CAUSED" by the book, has reiterated his view that it "SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED." In a letter to The Times (4th March 1989) the Chief Rabbi also agreed on the need for "PROHIBITING THE PUBLICATION OF ANYTHING LIKELY TO INFLAME, THROUGH OBSCENE DEFAMATION..." What motives can we attribute to the three above? Nothing other than the Love of God and Love of Man based on Eternal Thrust. The Holy Qur'an describes these godly men as "And among them (the Jews and Christians) are Mu'mins, (meaning Faithful, Sincere People)..." Holy Qur'an 3:110

But lest we are deluded into complacency, the All-Wise Merciful God reminds us in the concluding phrase of the above verse "But the majority of them are perverted transgressors."

How amply are the words proven true, again and again! Are these atheistic and materialistic so-called Jews and Christians beyond redemption? No! We are never to despair! There is still much good in them. Learn to talk to them rationally, not emotionally. Give them living examples from their day-to-day affairs.

MPs ANGERED

Datelined from London, on the 22nd May, 1989, was a roaring headline in "The Daily News."

I sympathise with the British in their righteous indignation. Though the English-speaking people, both British and American, bandy around not only four-letter words, but five- and seven-letter profane words in their normal cultural and social relationships. Yet they are highly sensitive when the same words are used in connection with their own heroes and heroines.

DOUBLE STANDARDS

What grates me most is the rank hypocisy of the one thousand and one Poets, Playwrights and Pimps; Editors, Essayists and Eunuchs; Novelists, Newspaperman and Non-Conformists who signed and paid for adverts in the National Newspapers in support of Rushdie's right to absolute freedom of speech and expression.

Yet not a single one of those thousand will raise an eyebrown in defending Rourke's right to use just a four-letter word even once. Not against Mrs. Thatcher in person but against her economic Policies. Their hypocrisy is unbearable!

What was that "four-letter" word wich roused such fury and ire among a people reputed for their calm, placid, sagacity? It is downright silly to beat around the bush. That emotive word is F-U-C-K! Because of this single four-letter word, Lady Chatterley-s Lover was banned in South Africa for twenty years! Even the dullest of the English-speaking people conjure up the word "fuck", when the expression "four-letter" is used.

A TETRAGRAMATTON

The Jehovah's Witnesses, a very active and most militant evangelistic Christian sect, never use the expression "four-letter word" in any of their literature though a four-letter word is the kingpin of their preaching.7 They have invented a fourteen-letter word to describe a four-letter word. Imagine! They ever and anon substitute "TETRAGRAMATTON" instead of simply the word "four".

Rushdie has overcome this typical British aversion by making a "four-letter" word into a seven-letter word by simply adding the present participle suffix to the word FUCK by adding I-N-G, making it FUCKING. See how adoritly he made the whole British nation swallow the word FUCKING while Rourke's "FUCK" was gettting stuck in their throats.

"OH. SHE'S (Maggie) RADICAL ALL RIGHT. WHAT SHE (Maggie) WANTS - WHAT SHE (Maggie) ACTUALLY THINKS SHE (Maggie) CAN FUCKING ACHIEVE IS LITERALLY...FROM FUCKING SURREY AND HAMPSHIRE...NOBODY'S EVER TRIED TO REPLACE A WHOLE FUCKING CLASS BEFORE...THIS COUNTRY THAT'S STUFFED FULL OF FUCKING OLD CORPSES. (Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" page 270).

It is strange that the British can stomach four "fuckings" in one paragraph from Rushdie but one "fuck" from Rourke infuriates them. Is it because Rushdie is there brother-in-law and son-in-law combined? (Remember! His divorce first whife was British.) A cursory count will give you 5 FUCKS and 52 FUCKINGS in this what the Western world has called a literary masterpiece! Don't forget, only 52, just one "FUCKING" for every week of the year!

One can't help agreeing that "The Satanic Verses" is a masterpiece for fucking-up the English language. He has conjoined his word "FUCKING" with every letter of the alphabet. Here is a quick summary of some of them. Verify the rest at leisure.

With the Letter a: Pages from TVS

"FUCKING A" 245

"FUCKING ALLIES" 269

"FUCKING AMERICANS" 280

"FUCKING ARGENTINA" 268

"FUCKING BEATLES" 163

"FUCKING BEDPAN" 169

"FUCKING CLASS" 270

"ENJOY FUCKING" 149

"FUCKING GUITAR" 269

"FUCKING HORNY" 158

"FUCKING HELLHOLE" 180

"FUCKING IDIOT" 526

Please forgive me, if it is getting too boring. Here is a little variation:

FUCKING TANK FUCKING PEE AITCH DEE FUCKING COUNTRY All this from a single page: 268 TVS FUCKING LIFE FUCKING NATION THE BASTARDS

Why you enjoy fucking with this one p 149

You are fucking my woman p 207

Don't holy men ever fuck? p 278

God's own permission to fuck p 386

I have had enough of this "fucking shit" (words borrowed from Satanic Salman). Let me end with a last bit "WILD DONKEYS FUCKING WEARILY AND DROPPING DEAD STILL CONJOINED" (page 479 TVS).

Dear reader, if any pervert, dolt or dullard protests that the foregoing quotations are out of context, then obtain the text (Satanic Salman's Satanic Verses). If you already have it then please buy three highlighters - red, yellow and green, and go to town in colour-coding Rushdie's shit. RED for all the "fuck" and "fucking" words. YELLOW for all the Hindi exotic words, like "bhaenchud", "yaar", "haramazada", etc. And GREEN for quotable verses: I'll refer you to them later.

Thus armed with a colour-coded "The Satanic Verses", you can plaster the cynics and mockers of Muslims With Rushdie's excrement. They ought to relish it, never mind how much they protest. It's food for the maggots! Like randy hooker Pamella Borders; Mother India also gave birth to Salman Rushdie, alias Satanic Salman, also "Saladin Chamcha" or "Spoono" and "Gibreel Farishta" all are one and the same - Rushdie of "Satanic Verses" fame. Nurtured in the Western culture, both Pamella and Salman spurned their faiths. At the tender age of thirteen, Rushdie was thrown into the laps of the West. He studied at Rugby and Cambridge in England and imbibed its culture. He went the whole hog. Listen to his philosophy, page 211 TVS ie "The Satanic Verses". He wrote -

"BUT TO BE RAISED IN THE HOUSE OF POWER IS TO LEARN ITS WAYS, TO SOAK THEM UP, THROUGH THAT VERY SKIN THAT IS THE CAUSE OF YOUR OPPRESSION. THE HABIT OF POWER, ITS TIMBRE, ITS POSTURE, ITS WAY OF BEING WITH OTHER. ITS IS A DISEASE, BILAL, INFECTING ALL WHO COME TOO NEAR IT. IF THE POWERFUL TRAMPLE OVER YOU, YOU ARE INFECTED BY THE SOLES OF THEIR FEET." TVS p 211

It is worth highlighting the above quotation in GREEN. Rushdie is giving here the source of his own inspiration and nourishment. He has imbibed the worst of both worlds! Now see, how he repays his British god-fathers for all their kind and generous hospitality.

He charges his British benefactors as an incestuous people. He calls them "THE SISTER FUCKING BRITISH."8 TVS p 80. This is the unkindliest cut of them all. He marries Pamela Lovelace according to his story in the TVS. And according to his own philosophy she was destined "FOR FUCKING AND THROWING OVER,"9 which he did by divorcing her.

Where did he get the information from that the British fuck their own sisters? Perhaps his Pamela may have confided in him, and maybe he betrayed her trust.

THE IRON LADY

My wife has a special liking for Mrs. Thatcher. She cannot explain. She does not understand her politics. Perhaps it is the clarity of her voice and forceful speeches that attract her to the "Iron lady."

Islam forbids the giving of offensive nick-names to anybody. I take it that "Iron Lady" is not offensive. If it is, my apologies. I owe Mrs. Thatcher nothing. But my wife and I were offended on learning that beside disparaging her successful economic policies with obscenities (refer page 10 herof), now he makes his character to say "I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU-KNOW-WHO," VALANCE EXPLAINED HELPFULLY. "TORTURE. MAGGIE THE BITCH." TVS p 269.

Mickey Rourke (p 8) used only a four-letter word for Mrs Thatcher's POLICIES and Britain was incensed, but when Rushdie applies a five-letter title (B-I-T-C-H), it becomes Kosher10. Halaal, Permissible! Strange. Oh British, how did Rushdie bewitch you with b-i-t-c-h?

IS "TVS" A NOVEL?

Rushdie claims that his TSV is only a novel, it is a dream within a dream. Don't you remember that every movie before its screening, at one time, displayed a notice, to wit "All characters in this film are fictitious and the similarity of any name to persons living or dead are merely coincidental." Tell that to Mark Thatcher or Carol Thatcher, Mrs Thatcher's son and daughter, and see what they do to you! Nobody will blame them for any grievous bodily harm. Try! Try!

In the house of Islam, anyone traducing the fair name of any lady, living or dead, will be required to produce four "EYEWITNESSES" to the alleged indiscretion to qualify as a "bitch", and if under cross-examination one of them fails, all four witnesses will receive 80 lashes each. Cruel! Barbaric! you say. You would not say that if your mother's integrity was involved, I bet! If Rushdie himself was an eyewitness to his wife's adultery, he may divorce her on that ground but he would not be allowed to have her arrayed before an Islamic Court without three other impeccable eyewitnesses to corroborate his charge, failing which he too will receive eighty lashes.

NEW MEANING

The Western world has developed an art of glamorising filth and sin. IMMORALITY is now termed "new morality!" A BASTARD is now called a "love-child!" and a BITCH, which normally meant a female dog, when applied to a woman it implied that she was like the bitch in season (rut) - given up to unhibited sexual abandon, free to all comers. This word is derogatory no more if you apply a superlative to it, ie simply add the adjective "super" and make it "SUPERBITCH".

SUPER BITCH

It is defamatory and libellous to call a woman a bitch, but not if you call her a "Super Bitch".

My country South Africa is an industrial giant. It produces 50% of the total electricity of the African continent. 60% of Africa's total industrial output. It is like a part of the United States in Africa. At the moment it is out to outshine Hollywood. She is on the verge of completing a soap opera for TV called "WHIRLPOOL" to compete with Dynasty and Dallas and later export it to America. Our leading lady for Whirlpool is Jane Cillers our own. She is being advertised as "SUPERBITCH"; "The Daily News" dated March 17, 1989. See reproduction on page 17.

Would the British people be happier if another upstart changed Rushdie's "MAGGIE THE BITCH" to "Maggie the Superbitch!"??

THE QUEEN NOT SPARED

I was born British. I still cherish a British passport over 60 years old. I don't know what's its worth. English has become my mother tongue. I dream in English and I also swear in English. I have visited Britain a dozen times. More than once I was tempted to visit the Speakers' Corner, Hyde Park, London, enjoying the many passionate and vehement harangues. It's free for all. One is allowed to curse, abuse and swear anybody and everybody. The law of libel and defamation does not apply in this haven of free speech and unbridled expressions. Yet I am told that Her Majesty the Queen of England is above any abuse or tirade. She is sacrosanct! Not only in Hyde Park but throughout Britain either by word of mouth or through the media, "THOU SHALT NOT DENIGRATE THE QUEEN."

A retired employee at Buckingham Palace wrote a book entitled "Officially Speaking" about the goings-on in the Royal precincts. About drunken orgies and sexual frolics among the Royalty. The publication of this piece of Royal gossip has rightly been suppressed by Mrs Thatcher's government. Amazing England! Rushdie prevails where a blue-blooded Englishman fails. Thanks to Maggie and her British votaries of free speech.

ONLY DERAMING SEX WITH QUEEN

Chamcha (another name of Rushdie in the TSV, see page 12) he found himself dreaming of the Queen, of MAKING TENDER LOVE to the MONARCH. She was the body Britain, the avatar of the state, and he had chosen her, JOINED WITH HER; she was his Beloved, the moon of his delight."11(Page 169 of TSV.) What is Rushdie telling his readers, if not that he fucked her Majesty. "Joined with her," above compare with his expression "STILL CONJOINED," on page 12.

I expect some British blockhead of the literary world to cry "Oh! Rushdie only fucked our Queen in his dream." It is all fiction. After all, we can´t hold a man accountable for his dreams. That is true, but "O pervert!" Rushdie was not dreaming when he penned those words!

ALL "WHITE" WOMEN!

Lest the commoner say that "Rusdie only lampoons the high and mighty like the Prime Minister of Britian - Maggie - and the Monarch of Britain - The Queen!" Let me remind them that he has not forgotten you, the plebeian - the ordinary Whites in the country. Nay, he honours all whites, wheresoever they abide.

This choicest piece of racism should also be highlighted with a glowing green pen and memorised:

"WHITE WOMEN - NEVER MIND FAT, JEWISH, NON-DEFERENTIAL12 WHITE WOMEN - WERE FOR FUCKING AND THROWING OVER. "(PAGE 261 TVS)

In Rushdie´s perverted mind, the fate of every "white women" was for fucking and throwing over. The only qualification required by Rushdie is that they be "WHITE". It does not matter their shape or size. Whether with a hooled Jewish nose or an Anglo-Saxon angular nose. Whether you can recognise their nationality or not. Whether they be English, or Irish; Scottish or Weish; German or French; American or Canadian - provided they are white! "THEY ARE ONLY GOOD FOR DISCARDING AFTER FUCKING" SAYS RUSHDIE!

ALL WHITE - "NON DEFERENTIAL" Rushdie (TVS p. 261)

PUBLIC READING OF TVS

The Satanic Verses were being read in Britain and America. One Susan Sontag of the Literary Guild among others read this with religious regularity in New York to her doting audiences, both, black and white, young and old. Some Afro-American13 youths imbibed the message. "WHITE WOMEN ARE FOR FUCKING AND THROWING OVER!" For after all, what is reading if not brain-washing. We are what we eat and we are what we read! Dr Vernon Jones, an American psychologist of great repute, carried out experiments on groups of school children to whom certain stories were being read, and at the end of his experiments he concluded "that these stories made certain slight but permanent changes in character, even in the narrow classroom situation."

SATANIC INSPIRATION

Susan Sontag, a white woman, relished her reading of "The Satanic Verses". So did her admirers. One young listener was inspired! He was waiting for an opportunity to put Rushdie´s idea into action. It didn´t take long. Soon afterwards with five others - the gang of six - one Muslim and five Christians were prowling at night in Central Park, looking for adventure.

They saw a "WHITE WOMAN" jogging. She triggered their imagination! They went a "W-I-L-D-I-N-G"14 as the "Times" magazine, of 8th May, 1989, reports. They bashed the poor woman into unconsciousness, and fell on their prey like a pack of wolves.

WOVES DON'T GO A "WILDING"!

They gang-raped her one by one in turn which no wild beast ever does. The blood and the sweat and the gore titillated their libido!

That poor jogger was an innocent victim. It should have been Susan Sontag, or Marriane Wiggins (Rushdie´s second wife) who says that if she was not Rushdie's wife then she too would have read "The Satanic Verses" to her clientele, in public from city to city.

TVS SHOULD BE READ TO ALL BLACKS!

If I was a sadistic racist, I would have liked to have "The best of Rusdie" read in Harlem, New York; and in every ghetto in America and in Notting Hill in the U.K. and among all the blacks of the world, in Africa and in Asia and in Eskimo-land. Let the non-Whites of the world know that according to Rushdie's new Bible - "WHITE WOMEN - NEVER MIND FAT, JEWISH, or NON-DEFERENTIAL15 WHITE WOMEN - WERE FOR FUCKING AND THROWING OVER"!

You, Peter Mayar! Director of viking/Penguin, you son of a bitch, you gave Rushdie 800,000.00 Dollars as advance money for this filth.

All those whites - Poets and Playwrights, Essayists and Editors, Novelists and Newsmen who are in support of Rushdie's smut, let them read the above quotation from the shit of Rushdie to their mothers, to their wives and daughters. Make their mouths water, that Rushdie wants them to be fucked by black people and thrown away. Rushdie has already set the example, he has FUCKED AND THROWN AWAY (one British girl, his first wife) and perhaps before you get this into your hands, he would have done the same to another (American girl - Marriane Wiggins) also FUCKED AND THROWN AWAY16!

I am asking all those sons of bitches who rushed to Rushdie´s support without really reading his TVS, the real reason for their unqualified support. Did they not come across these "tasty eats"?

"MOTHER-FUCKING AMERICANS" TVS p 80

"MOTHER-FUCKING SPARKS" TVS p 85

"MOTHER-FUCKING DREAMS" TVS p 122

"BHAENCHUD17 NIGHTMARE" TVS p 109.

COMPARED WITH WHORES

There is no end to Rushdie´s shit. He has 547 pages full of it. Though he has some brilliant things to say at times. He equates himself, and all the writers, authors, novelists etc. With hookers and harlots, prostitutes and pimps. He makes one of his characters to utter:

"WRITERS AND WHORES. I SEE NO DIFFERENCE HERE." TVS p 392

TRIBUTE TO RAJIV

Before I end this most agonising little essay I had ever written, I must thank Rajiv Gandhi for being about the first (?) country in the world to ban "The Satanic Verses." Stop attributing motives to people! My own country, the Republic of South Africa, was in the forefront on banning the book, as well as debarring Rushdie from entering the country. This was in early October 1988! Long before many a Muslim nation!

I congratulate the Prime Minister of India for his sagacious move. The devilish book would not only have wounded his Muslim subjects in India but it would have also seared his Hindu coreligionists as well. The devil Rushdie has spared no one.

RAMA REVILED

Nobody has yet drawn the attention of Rushdie's Hindu admirers as to what he has to say about the gods and goddesses of their faith. "HERE WAS A LECHEROUS, DRUKEN RAMA AND A FLIGHTY18 SITA: WHILE RAVANA, THE DEMON KING, WAS DEPICTED AS AN UPRIGHT AND HONEST MAN "GIBREEL (that's Rushdie himself again in this TVS) IN PLAYING RAVANA," GEORGE EXPLAINED IN FASCINATED HORROR. "LOOKS LIKE HE'S TRYING DELIBERATELY TO SET UP A FINAL CONFRONTATION WITH RELIGIOUS SECTARIANS, KNOWING HE CAN'T WIN, THAT HE'LL BE BROKEN TO BITS." TVS P539.

Rama the 7th incarnation of god, according to the Hindu religion, venerated and worshipped by hundreds of millions of Hindus in India, is character - assassinated as a lecher, one given to excessive sexual cravings and debauchery, and the demon-king is portrayed here as a righteous man. And Sita is painted as a flirt. This is typical Rushdie. He turns gods into devils and devils into saints! And the Swiney confesses that the likes of him "WILL BE BROKEN TO BITS!" - "GUY SEEMS HELL - BENT ON A SUICIDE COURSE." TVS page 538. He has uttered here words of wisdom, but alas, he has learnt nothing from them himself.

BEFITTING END

Mired in misery, may all his filthy lucre choke in his throat, and may he die a coward's death, a hundred times a day, an eventually when death catches up with him, may he simmer in hell for all eternity.
