More US Muslims Favour Bush

Washington D.C. : An opinion poll among US Muslims shows that George Bush is likely to corner majority of votes of Muslims and the Arab-Americans in the US election due on November 7. The survey conducted by Council for American-Islamic Relation (CAIR), a Muslim advocacy group contacted 1,022 US Muslim voters and found 40 per cent favouring George Bush while Al-Gore trailed far behind another insignificant third candidate from the consumerist lobby Ralph Nader. Most Muslims favoured Bush’s clear stand on elimination of racial discrimination and secret inquiry against those seeking immigrations from the Muslim nations.

Muslims votes are crucial in Michigan which has over two lakh Muslims and four lakh Arab-Americans, among whom a sizeable number are Christians. Trends show that support for Bush has been growing among Muslims over the last few months. In June 2000, only 28 per cent of those who gave opinion had favoured Bush.

Intifada's Young Martyr
The Palestinians had a foretaste of what a demilitarised Palestine would be as stone throwing mobs face barbaric assault of Israeli forces







The Oslo Accord lay in tatters as US-foisted equilibrium in Palestine was shattered last month. Israeli tanks were out on the streets of Nablus, Ramallah and Hebron and Helicopter mounted gunship fired on crowds of unarmed Palestinian protesters. It was the second coming of Intifada in the occupied Palestine. The man who ignited this all was hawkish Israeli Opposition leader Ariel Sharon whose visit to the Temple Mount within the Al-Aqsa complex and irresponsible statements on Jerusalem triggered fears of the Palestinians being denied the Holy city.

The peace in the Aqsa complex was broken by gunshots, screams, wailing sirens of ambulances and cries of the injured. Israelis killed nearly 100 stone-throwing Arab youth and the two Israeli cops were killed by Palestinians in a Palestinian Authority controlled area. Three Israeli soldiers were nabbed by the Hezbollahs in Southern Lebanon vacated by the Israeli occupation in May last, provoking warnings of bombings over Beirut by Tel Aviv.

France moved a resolution in the UN Security Council condemning Israel. The UN passed the resolution 14-0 with the US abstaining from it. Demonstrations were held in Chicago, New York, Montreal, Los Angeles, Houston and New Haven. Collection boxes for the Palestinians popped us in mosques all across the Arab-Muslim world. Kuwait flew in 10 tons of medicine while Turkey sent an emergency aid of US $ 5 lakh.

Holy Land Foundation Hospital reported that 65% injuries were on chest, a clear indication of use of deadly force. Israeli attackers even killed drivers of ambulances of Red Crescent Society. A siege was laid around Al-Makassid Hospital.

The violence is traceable to the Israeli obduracy in yielding Jerusalem to Palestine. The current Israeli stance is to allow Palestinians control over the mosque but not sovereignty. But the Palestinians refuse to compromise on anything less than full sovereignty and control over East Jerusalem.

Amid all this impasse on peace and mayhem on streets, 12-year old Muhammad Al-Dourah emerged as the latest martyr at the hands of the Israeli army. A French TV cameraman captured the barbarous assault on the cowering, cringing boy behind the protective shield of his father Jamal-al-Dourah. The duo were out to buy a used car and were caught in a crossfire on the junction of roads to Gaza-Khan Younis and the road to Jewish colony of Netzarim.

The Israeli soldiers hit Muhammad in the abdomen a moment after he told his father: “Don’t worry daddy, the ambulance will come and rescue us.”

Help did come. But only after an hour and much after Muhammad had fallen a martyr in the cause of a small, much fragmented, yet independent Palestine. The French TV footage was in circulation over the net. The Israeli army initially refused responsibility for his killing but later said: “Someone who goes to such a place risks his life.” According to the Time magazine, the Israeli construction company where Jamal worked, offered to pay for his (Jamal’s) treatment, but Jamal refused the money.

Situation in Afghanistan much Worse that Soviet Occupation

Makkah : The well-known Arab writer Dr. Muhammad Abdu Yamani, has said that what is going on now in Afghanistan by way of destruction and mayhem is much worse than what happened when the Communists invaded the country. He went on to say that the war in that country, which includes attacks on villages and the killing of villagers, is not Jihad, but a curse, and those responsible would be answerable to Allah for what has been happening.

Dr. Yamani said: “We are pained by what is happening, but alas, there is nothing we could do except to beseech Allah’s help.”

MWL Criticizes Italian Archbishop
