CALL TO BOYCOTT ALL ZIONIST-SUPPORTING COMPANIES IN THE WORLD

From those fighting in the Way of Allah to their Muslim brothers and
sisters around the World

"O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most
hateful is it in the Sight of Allah that you say that which you do not do."
[Quran 61:2-3]

BOYCOTT THOSE WHO ARE BOYCOTTING THE MUSLIMS

The genocide of the Palestinian Muslims at the hands of Israeli
Zionists continues and yet little conclusive action is forthcoming from the
Muslims. Whilst feelings and emotions are high as demonstrated by the
amount of protests happening in the World, few Muslims are prepared to
take conclusive action to help their brothers and sisters in Palestine.
One type of action that Muslims are able to undertake with ease is the
boycott of companies, businesses and stores that are either Zionist-run
or directly assisting the racist Zionist State of Israel through
monetary assistance.

US-led Sanctions and the boycott against the Muslim children and babies
of Iraq continues unabated. Yet little action is taken against the
racist Zionist State of Israel. The Zionists will not be hindered and
stopped in their killing spree until monetary support to them is limited,
until the Muslims boycott those who are boycotting the Muslims.

Boycotting and sanctions are effective measures that the Zionists
implement against Muslims to limit or restrict monetary assistance reaching
suffering Muslims in the World. It takes the form of many means, such
as: economic sanctions, trade sanctions, 'investigations' into
legitimate charitable organisations on accusation that they are helping
'terrorists', confiscating money of the Muslims on suspicion of financing
'terrorism', restrictions on the collection and distribution of charitable
funds in Muslim countries, boycotting those Muslims who help their
oppressed brothers and sisters (e.g. Taliban in Afghanistan), media
intellectual warfare against those who support their oppressed brothers and
sisters.

Sanctions are not something new in the history of Muslims. When the
Prophet (SAWS) refused to bow down to the false gods of the polytheists in
Makkah, the polytheists implemented comprehensive sanctions against the
Muslims. They expelled them from their homes, stopped trading with
them, confiscated their possessions and waged slandering campaigns against
them.

The time has now come for the Muslims around the World to prove whether
they are really sincere in their love and support of their Muslim
brothers and sisters in Palestine, or if they are the ones about whom Allah
speaks in the verse above (...Most hateful is it in the Sight of Allah
that...), those whose words are many, but actions are few. The time has
now come for the Muslims to prove whether they are prepared to give up
some basic necessities of their daily lives in support of their
oppressed Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine, or if they are not
prepared to sacrifice even these worthless things. Quite honestly, if we are
not prepared to cause ourselves some inconvenience by doing our shopping
from other stores, then we should not scream and shout about helping
the Muslims in Palestine.

In response to this oppression and to establish the proof against
ourselves, whether we are really sincere in our support for the Muslims of
Palestine, or of those people who are all talk and no action, we have
commenced a comprehensive boycott of companies and businesses that
support the Zionists, in every country of the World.

We understand that other Muslims around the World have called for
similar boycotts. However, we do not wish to put any company on our boycott
list until it is supported with evidence or proof. We are calling upon
the Muslims to boycott those companies who are directly supporting the
Zionist racists in Israel, as a concentrated boycott will cause more
damage to the Zionists than an overall, general boycott.

The first stage of this boycott will involve only companies directly
supporting the Zionist murderers of Israel. Depending on the success and
feedback of this stage, we may decide to take the boycott to the second
stage, which involves boycotting of those companies who are indirectly
supporting the Zionists, e.g. American companies.

There follows an initial list of companies (with proof provided) that
the Muslims are asked to boycott, buying their goods from other stores.
We urge the Muslims to e-mail us details of companies that are directly
supporting the Zionist racists in Israel, with proof. We will NOT
include any company on this list unless there is proof to back it up. We
need your support in order to make this boycott concentrated and
successful.

running high due to the current crisis? Action required: Comprehensive
boycott and e-mail a polite complaint about this newspaper by filling out
