slm everyone,

I just received a call from a journalist at the LA Times. He will be quoting some of the posts on the message board. What he told me is that everything on the WEB is public information and he has a right to use it in his story with or without my permission.

Just letting you all know. Hopefully he will realize how worried we are about the impact these events will have on American Muslims.

I pray he does not link this site to terrorism as we all know that ISLAM and WE are against in any form of terrorism against innocent people!!

I have an urgent request of all of you. These next 12-24 hours will
determine the fate of an already devestated people. Whether or not  the responsibility for the recent attacks on U.S. soil bears any origin in Afghanistan, the Americans will indeed attack that small country. This is all an orchestrated plan which we have all seen coming. We have been discussing this eventuality as far back as one year ago or more. It is now happening.

Brothers, there is already talk about the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. An American invasion of Afghanistan would be devestating to a people already starving to death from sanctions. The Afghans have suffered for 20 years now. The Afghans saved much of the Muslim world from being absorbed by the Soviet Empire. What did they get in return? A Muslim world that left them to die of brutality and starvation.

Please brothers, I beg of you, stay up tonight and pray taHajjud. This is my urgent request of all of you. Please stay up as much as you can tonight and make ardent du`aa' for the safety of the people of Afghanistan. An insurmountable horror faces them only hours away. If you do not wish to stay up the whole night, then please stay up in the later part of the night. If you do not want to stay up for the later part of the night, then please wake up one hour early for Fajr and pray just 2 sets of raka`tayn.

Times that the du`aa' is most accepted by Allah during Salah are in sujood and in the final sitting before you say tasleem. This is such a small thing to do for a people about to face a catastrophe the likes of which no Muslim country will have seen since even the Tatar invasions. Whether you agree with the Taliban or not, please do this for the safety of the innocent Muslims, men, women and children, who will bear the brunt of American indifference to human life (even of their own citizens whom they consider expendable for their political plots and agendas).

slm,

this message board is now closed to the general public. only registered members have access and ONLY after they have emailed one of the admin to get a password.

i didn't want to do this, but i think we have no choice, we try so hard to control what people say so it's not negative but we can't control it, even here. and especially at this time where reporters are like bloodhounds looking for anything and everything for a story, they could take anything and twist it for their own point of view. tons of anti-islamic, anti-muslim, ignorant or even curious people are reading this website. i felt that they would misconstrue the posts by people. and i do not want the words written here to be used as fuel for more propoganda and hatred for islam.

therefore until which time we feel we can be more free in words (and people will not be so senstitive to misconstrue them) the board will be under password inshallah, open only to members.

this is nuts, what are those media slaves so desperate that they go after webboards to get information? Idiots, total and utter idiots.

This whole situation has made just about everyone hysterical about anything and everything!

AoA brothers and sisters

I have noticed that if you log once on this site and then change over to another site and then come back again, you don't have to login again and give any password. THis may not be what you had desired esp. if some one is accessing the site at some public computer.

Wassalam

walaikum salaam wrt,

yes once you log in the information is stored in the cache. sometimes this makes it easier so you don't have to log in continuously. but yes please do remember to log out if you are on public machines.

the idea behind the members only password is temporary inshallah. we just want to keep out reporters, lurkers, new ppl etc.

Once you close the browser, you will have to re-enter the password to log onto the board.  Regardless of whether or not you logged off when you closed the browser.

Assalaamu alaikum,

I am sure this site is regularly checked out by the FBI, CIA, etc regardless of what happened on Tuesday. On Wednesday, there was a hit on my homepage from the .mil domain. And the post from which the person linked to my page was posted last Septermber! So I guess someone was sifting through all the posts on the board. Heh, I wonder what they found on my site...

Wasalaam.

wlm,

well i hope you guys realize that all emails are sifted for key words by the gov't. there are whole sites dedicated to exposing this not to mention that European governments are upset that the US does this and discuss it in their top level meetings.  i don't see why islamic message boards especially wouldn't be read and examined. not to mention muslim's emails. interesting how the govt openly admitted to listening to random people's cell phone calls.. ie the so called florida bin laden ppl were NOT under surveillance.. their phrase was "picked up" by intelligence.. hmm
