So, Who Stands To Benefit?

A comment on Professor Hussein Solomon’s presentation on “Global Jihad: The South African Front” presented at the University of Pretoria, Wednesday 17th March 2010

By Quraysha Ismail Sooliman

Muslim students came in their numbers; it was a show of strength. Hussein Solomon was to meet his Moses. For months he has avoided sharing a platform with any Muslim academic, cleric or media personality. This day, there was no escape.
In trying to consolidate himself, Solomon attempted to soften the introduction to his paper by quoting religious texts and traditions of the prophet (SAW).He initially distinguished between what he called “Islam” the religion and “Islamism” a new brand of extremist ideology within the Muslim community. As an academic presentation however, the paper was largely flawed. Solomon cited situations but did not follow through with the analysis or the outcomes.

An obvious case of “selective bias” had influenced the academic credibility of the presentation. Solomon mentioned a Pakistani national who had been detained at OR Tambo, but did not specify if the suspect had been charged. He spoke about the so-called Somali cells, but never once mentioned the position of South African (SA) Law enforcement agencies on this “threat”

Dahlan. One-state solution?

Fatah strongman Mohammed Dahlan made a surprising statement Wednesday evening, calling on Hamas to join forces and defend the Muslim holy sites against Israel's policy. He spoke on the backdrop of Tuesday's riots in east Jerusalem and the stalemate in the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.

Dahlan, a member of Fatah's Central Committee who is considered a bitter enemy of the organization controlling Gaza, urged Hamas to become part of a pan-Palestinian national conference which would form a joint policy to defend the holy sites.

Saudi Arabia Death Row Maid In A Fight For Her Life

By Caryle Murphy

(source:  The National)

RIYADH // Rizana Nafeek’s indigent family fell on hard times when civil war forced her father, a Sri Lankan woodcutter, to stop going to his traditional cutting forest.

Salvation seemed to appear, however, when a local recruiter suggested that Nafeek, then 17, go to work as a housemaid in Saudi Arabia. The agent put a false birth date on her passport so officials would not see that she was underage.

But now Nafeek faces a death sentence after being convicted of murdering a four-month-old infant put in her care by the Saudi family who hired her in 2005.

Where are the Rulers of Arab & Muslim Countries? Joe Biden’s Empty Desert

By Bouthiana Shabaan

(source: Rise For The Truth)

Vice President Biden’s speech in Israel on March 11 sounded like an official American statement, providing absolute support to all the crimes committed by Israel. Biden’s speech was full of anachronisms aimed at polishing the image of Zionism tarnished by the blood of civilians, particularly children. Biden was not hypocritical like most Western politicians. He was candid and transparent.

In his speech, Biden said: “I had said in a speech in the United States some years ago for which I got some criticism, if I am not a Jew, I would be a Zionist. And it got a lot of national publicity, how could I say that, until I was reminded by my father you need not be a Jew to be a Zionist”. I do not know why the Vice-President should feel proud about being a Zionist and what are the achievements of Zionism that make Biden want to belong to it. Is it the displacement of millions of Palestinians from their homeland, Palestine, the incarceration of millions of others in the big prison called Israel, where they are subjected daily to ethnic cleansing and where their children, women and elderly killed and imprisoned?

Zuma Cosy With Billionaire?

By Paul Kirk

(source: Citizen Newspaper - pg4, Tues, 16-03-2010)

JOHANNESBURG - President Jacob Zuma’s alleged links to a businessman associated with Israel’s “apartheid wall” may cause further unease in the tripartite alliance.Zuma’s lawyer, Michael Hulley, declined to comment on whether Zuma and his family may have benefited from an Israeli security boss who is involved in the construction of a wall enclosing Palestinian settlements.

Hulley refused to say whether billionaire international businessman Nathan Kirsch had been one of Zuma’s financial backers.Kirsch, who emphatically denied bankrolling any politician, has business interests worldwide, including Magal Security Systems, an Israeli company involved in the construction of the controversial wall.In 2004 the International Court of Justice ruled that the wall was illegal.

For The Record - Star

iqbal jassatharrath

January 27,2010 Edition 2

The Star reported yesterday in an article headlined "DStv channel chief executive granted interdict in Tunisian extradition case" that newspaper reports in the UK claimed that Media Review Network chairman Iqbal Jassat worked for Scotland Yard as an adviser on preventing terrorism. This is incorrect. In fact, reports in British newspapers suggested that Mohamed Ali Harrath, the chief executive of the London-based Islam Channel, worked for Scotland Yard.
