Michael Jackson on November 2008 had converted to Islam. His brother, Jermaine Jackson and also his friends, David Whamsby and Phillip Bubal have witnessed about Michael’s conversion.

But why they don’t respect Michael Jackson’s choice by giving him an Islamic Funeral?

According to Islam, others Muslims should come and pray for Michael Jackson closely.

Why they don’t care about Michael Jackson by giving Michael Jackson’s children into Non Muslims?

Maybe it’s just like Michael Jackson’s song: “They Don’t Care about Us!”

MICHAEL JACKSON has become a Muslim – and changed his name to MIKAEEL.

By NEIL SYSON

Published: 21 Nov 2008

The skint superstar, 50, donned Islamic garb to pledge allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a pal’s mansion in Los Angeles, The Sun can reveal.

Jacko sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate – days before the singer is due to appear at London’s High Court where he is being sued by an Arab sheik.

A source told last night how Jacko, brought up as a Jehovah’s Witness, decided to convert as he used a studio at the home of his chum to record a new album.

The star – whose hits include The Way You Make Me Feel – was spotted looking “a bit down” by a producer and a songwriter who had both embraced Islam.

Shahada

The source said: “They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

“An Imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.” Mikaeel is the name of one of Allah’s angels.

“Jacko rejected an alternative name, Mustafa – meaning “the chosen one”.

Brit singer Yousef Islam, 60 – who was called Cat Stevens until he famously converted – turned up to help Jacko celebrate.

It was his pals David Wharnsby – a Canadian songwriter – and producer Phillip Bubal who counselled Jacko.

The pair’s new names are Dawud Wharnsby Ali and Idris Phillips.

Jacko now prays to Mecca after the ceremony at the Hollywood Hills home of Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro, 51, who composed music on the singer’s Thriller album.

He is said to have sat on the floor and worn a small hat while an imam officiated.

According to The Sun, the ceremony took place while Jackson, 50, was recording an album at the home of Steve Porcaro, a keyboard player who composed music on his Thriller album.

The former Jackson 5 star was counselled by David Wharnsby, a Canadian songwriter, and Phillip Bubal, a producer, who have both converted.

A source said Jackson had appeared a “bit down” and added: “They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

“An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.”

Last year his brother, Jermaine Friday, suggested Jackson would convert having taken an interest in Islam since Friday’s conversion in 1989.

“When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it’s peaceful and beautiful,” said Friday.

“He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace.

“I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam.

“He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and the word of God, we could do so much.”

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died at the age of 50 after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest. Luckily, Jackson has converted into Islam and changes name to Mikaeel.

Michael Jackson has followed his brother, Jermaine Jackson into Islam. And also other converts or should I say reverts such as Stevie B, Cat Steven, Muhammad Ali, and maybe Lady Diana supposed she did not die in accident.

He has return to Allah. May he rest in peace.

Here is the song of Michael Jackson, sorry, Zain Bikha  “Give Thanks to Allah”. It is a very good song to make us closer to God:

Currently some countries ask for the new global currency to replace US Dollar. The exchange rate between US Dollar and Local currency in many countries are very unstable and causing many monetary crises. For example in Indonesia, in 1946 USD 1 = IDR 1.88. In 2009 the rate become USD 1 = IDR 12,000!

In 1970 the Pilgrimage (Hajj) cost in Indonesia only Rp 182,000. In 2009 it become naik jadi US$ 3.500 (Rp 36,750,000). The Rupiah value drops 201 times  (20,100%!) in less than 40 years!

In Zimbabwe in 2003, USD 1 = 697.42 Zimbabwe Dollar. But in 2008 the rate become USD 1 = 3.333.333.333.333 Zimbabwe Dollar! Inflation and prices change happen every hour ruining the economics! The funny thing is, Zimbabwe actually rich with natural resources such as antimony, asbestos, chromium, coal, cobalt, copper, gold, graphite, iron ore, magnesite, nickel, silver, and tin. Gold, chrome, and asbestos are the major mineral exports (Microsoft Encarta). With area of 390,000 km2 and population of 13 million people, Zimbabwe should be a prosper country. Yet, the “important” and uncertain of US Dollar value make all those natural resources worth almost nothing in dollar! The exchange rate is unclear. Set by speculators only.

The instability happen because all currency using Fiat Money which is not guaranteed by valuable thing such as Gold or Silver. All currencies made of paper which worth only around USD 0.25 cent. However the Forex Speculators which are the main player set the value USD 1 equal to IDR 12,000 or 3,333,333,333,333 Zimbabwe dollars. And those Forex Speculators could change the value every second in the Forex market. Instead of exchange tool and the measure of products or services, money become speculative object. Speculation in foreign exchange by dealers, brokers, or others becomes a major influence on exchange rates (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia).

The currency such as Zimbabwe dollar or IDR could flunk as low as their value as paper.

Currently, many countries depend on US Dollar for the payment of products, services, or debt to foreign countries. Unfortunately, US dollar only produced by the US Government and designed for the US citizens. Not for all citizen of the World!

At first, US government produced Gold and Silver coins as their money (Commodity Money). No Gold or Silver means No Money. Then they use Credit Money where the paper money backed by gold reserves.

During Civil War, the US government needed a lot of money to fund the war more than the gold they had. So they issued Greenback money in February 1862 which was not backed by gold reserves. The value dropped immediately and caused sharp inflation. In 1866 an act was passed to withdraw the greenbacks (MS Encarta). However the Greenbacks were still used widely and made redeemable in gold in 1879. The Fiat Money causing sharp inflation in just 3 years and 17 years later the US Government use Credit Money back.

In 1970 foreign government holdings of U.S. dollars were over five times greater than the U.S. gold stock. In August 1971 President Richard M. Nixon suspended gold payments of U.S. dollars. Then devalued the dollar to 1/38 and in 1973 to 1/42.22 of an ounce of gold.

In 1978, in conjunction with reforms made by the International Monetary Fund, Congress formally removed the U.S. from the gold standard on an international basis. At the end of the decade no major currency was redeemable in gold. Since then, the value of money is set by forex speculators and causing many monetary crisis (MS Encarta).

So the world had been using Gold and Silver as money direct or indirectly for about 4,500 years, from 2500 BC in Mesopotamia until 20th century in US and European countries.

The stability of Gold Value describe in a Book of Saheeh Bukharee where a friend of prophet Muhammad bought a sheep for 1 gold dinar (1 dinar = 4.25 gram of 22 carat gold) and sell it for 2 dinars 1,400 years ago. Now we still could get 1 or 2 sheep for about 1 dinar. That is the real proof.

Beside gold, silver also has a stable value. In the Quran, Al Kahfi:19, told that 5 people who live in a cave bought some food for about 3 Dirham (1 Dirham = 2,975 gram of Silver). Now the price of food for 5 people about that price.

Many people question if Gold or Silver supply is enough if Gold and Silver are used as money. Well, the stability of Gold and Silver against other commodity such as sheep or food has proven that the supply is good. Not over supply which will cause the devaluation of gold. And not under supply which will cause the inflation of Gold. People have used Gold and Silver as money for about 4,000 years, so there should be no doubt about it.

Gold production still continues since Egypt civilization around 7,000 years ago until now. The discovery of America make the world gold output totaled about 4,665,000 kg from the end of the 15th century to about 1850.

South Africa producing 376 metric tons of gold in 2003 while US producing 277 metric tons of gold. Some 70 other countries produce gold in commercial quantities, but two thirds of the total worldwide production now comes from South Africa, the United States, Australia, China, Canada, and Russia. New gold deposits found in Australia, Alaska, Canada in 19th and 20th century. So the supply is enough.

Though some “Gold Money” Dinar sold in www.wakalanusantara.com, but people still could found gold jewelry in many gold stores in Indonesia and use them as wedding ring and wedding gift.

If people use Gold, Silver, and Copper as money, then we don’t have to worry about their number will be rare/scarce. There is Gold with high value, and there is also Copper which has low value as small change.

Gold, Silver, and Copper as money? Isn’t that too much? Well, currently people use local currency, US Dollar, Euro, Yen, British Pound, France Franc, Deutsche Mark, etc. That is way too much…

The advantage of Gold, Silver, and Copper as Global Money:

1. Stable value

2. Universal value

3. Found in many countries

4. Have real value

5. Stable prosperity

6. Monetary Crises proof

The disadvantage of paper money US Dollar as Global Money:

1. Unstable value

2. Local value. Even US dollar could not be used directly in many markets in Asia. There is no way we could buy thing in Indonesia using Zimbabwe paper money. But we could do that using Zimbabwe gold especially if the rate is good.

3. US dollar as the International money only produced and monopoly by US Government

4. No real value. The value set by forex speculators. Local currencies such as Zimbabwe dollar will become a toy

5. Inflation leads to global poverty

6. Monetary Crises every 5-10 years. In Zimbabwe, inflation happen every time.

So, let’s use Gold, Silver, and Copper as money for a better, stable, and universal currency. Let’s stop the monetary crisis which is caused by unclear paper money right now.

Just see what happen with Zimbabwe paper money. If Zimbabwe uses Gold, Silver, and Copper which are many in Zimbabwe, none of these would happen.

Zimbabwe dollar dead, says top economist

The Zimbabwe dollar is dead, one of the world’s leading experts on hyperinflation said today.

By Sebastien Berger Southern Africa Correspondent

The comments came as the Morgan Tsvangirai appointed Tendai Biti, one of his party’s highest ranking officials, to be the country’s new finance minister in a government of national unity.

Professor Steve Hanke, a senior fellow of the Cato Institute in Washington, has been involved with the governments and currency reforms of a dozen different countries around the world, and in 2007 developed a hyperinflation index for Zimbabwe.

It used stock market and other non-cash transactions to derive an inflation figure that bypassed the desperate shortages of goods in shops and actual banknotes, and peaked at an annual 89.7 sextillion per cent in November last year – after which it became impossible to calculate.

At the time the daily inflation rate stood at 98 per cent, with prices doubling every 24.7 hours.

As the Zimbabwe stock exchange had stopped trading and the non-cash banking system seized up, he said, reliable data disappeared. “The non-cash Zimbabwe dollar is, therefore, dead,” he said.

“Ashes are all that is left of the Zimbabwe dollar – a remnant of paper money,” he said in a commentary on the Cato Institute website.

Zimbabwe failed to break Hungary’s world record for hyperinflation, which it set at 195 per cent a day in 1946, but easily beat Yugoslavia’s 1994 mark of 313 million per cent a month to secure second place in the record books.

Hyper Inflation in Zimbabwe:

In late December 2008 and early January 2009 the use of foreign currency as a common medium of exchange has become increasingly popular as fewer goods and services are being offered in local currency. In a move to help businesses suffering from chronic shortages of foreign currency to import goods and spare parts the Zimbabwe’s central bank licensed around 1,000 shops to sell goods in foreign currency.[34][35]

On 12 January 2009, Zimbabwe introduced the $50,000,000,000 note. [36]

On January 16, 2009, Zimbabwe announced plans for imminent issue of banknotes of $10 trillion, $20 trillion, $50 trillion, and $100 trillion. At the time of the announcement, the latter was valued at ca. 30 US dollars, but that value is expected to evaporate swiftly. [37] Notably, these plans open a gap in the banknote series: there are none on the order of $100 billion or $1 trillion. It would take 200 of the $50 billion notes to make the same value as the next larger note, $10 trillion.

Final humiliation for Zimbabwe dollar as foreign currency legalised

Robert Mugabe’s government has bowed to financial reality and legalised the use of foreign currency in Zimbabwe’s shattered economy.

It is the final humiliation for Zimbabwe’s battered currency, which was worth more than the US greenback at independence in 1980.

Even after two revaluations that have knocked a total of 13 zeros off it, it was trading on the black market on Wednesday at around 6,000 to the USD – or 60,000,000,000,000,000 to one in terms of the original Zimbabwe dollar.

Gideon Gono, the reserve bank governor and a key player in the ruling Zanu-PF party, said that 250 wholesalers and 1,000 retailers would be licensed to accept foreign currency as an 18-month “experiment”.

Prophet Muhammad: The Best Man in the World

“Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the last Day, and remembereth Allah much.” [Quran 33:21]

That is the words of God describing the nobleness of Prophet Muhammad. Even a non-believer such as Sir George Bernard Shaw in his book ‘The Genuine Islam,’ Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936 wrote that if there is a new religion that will prevail in England or Europe in the next century that would be Islam. Muhammad is a wonderful man and should be called the Savior of Humanity, said Bernard Shaw.

Mahatma Gandhi, in his statement that published in “Young India” in 1024 said that it is not the sword that spread Islam. But the passion, courage, and faith of the prophet Muhammad to God that spread Islam. When I have read the second chapter of the story of Prophet Muhammad, I was regret that there is no more to read.

Muhammad was impossible to spread Islam by the sword since his early followers were only his wife and nephew, Ali. Later, many people convert to Islam because of his great personality and the Islamic truth.

If there were some wars, those were defensive wars. The first 3 wars, such as Badar, Uhud, and Khandaq wars, happened near Madinah city, the Muslim city, when the Mecca infidels and their allies attacked Madinah.

So was the Mu’tah war happened in Arab land when the Christian Roman Empire attacked to destroy Islam.

Michael H Hart in his book ‘The 100, A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons In History,’ New York, 1978 chose prophet Muhammad as the number 1 among 100 most influential people in the world defeating Isaac Newton, Paul, and Jesus.

According to Michael H Hart, most great leaders in his book became great because they happened to be born in developed countries and center of the world civilization such as France, Germany, Britain, etc. Even without those leaders, those countries will be great anyway and many men could replace their places as leaders.

For example, Napoleon Bonaparte that lead France to conquer Europe. That happened because France is a big European country. Napoleon could not do that if France is a small country. Even Napoleon at last failed and died in exile.

Jesus though the first who spread Christian religion, but he was caught and crossed by the Roman soldiers. His followers when Jesus died were a few. It is Paul who developed the Christian religion so it is accepted by European.

On the contrary, Prophet Muhammad was born in a backward country. Mecca, the city where Muhammad was born, is a small city far away from the centre of civilization, trade, art, and science. At that time the great countries are Roman, Persian, and China.

Arab is nothing but a Roman and Persian colony with a very small population until now. Arab people were divided into small tribes that fight each other.

When Muhammad was born, most Arab worshipped idols. For the first 3 years Muhammad call his family and close friends to Islam. Then in 613 Muhammad propagated Islam openly so Islam spreading wide.

The Mecca Infidel leaders began to think Muhammad as a threat to their belief so they tried to kill him. To avoid the danger, Muhammad went to Madinah. But the Mecca infidels did not stop. They try to attack Muhammad in Madinah 3 times in Badar, Uhud, and Khandaq wars. But they failed.

After that, Muhammad and his followers conquered Mecca peacefully in 630. There is no home to be destroyed and no bloodshed except for a few war criminals. In 23 years Muhammad united all Arab and also other tribes in Islam.

With Muhammad leadership, Arab not only could hold the Roman and Persian attack but also conquered them all. Until now the Roman capital, Constantinople becomes Istambul under Islamic country. So is Baghdad that used to be the capital of Persian Empire.

We should remember that the prophet Muhammad’s wars are not bloody wars like the crusaders that slaughtered all Muslims they conquered like in the film ”Kingdom of Heaven” (Starred by Orlando Bloom). The wars by Muhammad such as in Badar, Uhud, and Khandaq Wars are defensive wars. They defend themselves from the Infidels’ attacks. The war with Roman and Persian were setting the people free from Roman and Persian’s occupation which burden the people with heavy taxes.

At the Conquer of Mecca, it is a peaceful surrender. Almost no bloodshed.

In 100 years since the death of Prophet Muhammad, Islamic Kingdom spread from India, Pakistan, Iran, Middle East, North Africa, to Spain with 7,600 kilometeres long and 3,200 kilometres wide in 3 continents! It is the largest empire that ever exists in the history.

Even though the Spain reconquered by the Catholic after 7 centuries, yet Islam still prevail in North Africa, Middle East, Iran, and Pakistan.

Islam not only advance in politics and military. In science the Arabs who used to be backward below the Greece and Persian scientists, suddenly became leaders. Many scientific findings by Arab/Islamic scientists acknowledge by the world until now.

For example, the world numeric system now called Arabic Numeral replacing the Roman Numeral which is not flexible. With Arabic Numerals, you could write 93,567,834,234,693 easily. That kind of number is impossible written with Roman Numeric.

In Microsoft Encarta Encylopaedia mentioned:

===

The Islamic world, which in medieval times extended as far west as Spain, also produced many scientific breakthroughs. The Arab mathematician Muhammad al-Khwārizmī introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals to Europe many centuries after they had been devised in southern Asia.

===

Arab Astronomers (read: Islam Astronomers) find many stars such as Aldebaran, Altair, and Deneb. Al Haytham (Alhacen) that introduced Optic science also found Scientific Method which emphasized Observation, Experiment, and accurate records.

Thus, Muhammad is not just a religious leader or prophet. But he also a military leader, the head of Islamic State (which is superior to Roman and Persian Empire), and also the founder of Islamic Science Golden Age.

In 23 years only, Muhammad managed to turn the backward savage Arabs into civilized people and the leaders in science defeating 2 world super powers: Roman and Persian. This is an example that should be followed by any leaders!

No wonder a non Muslim like Michael H Hart acknowledged that Muhammad is the number one people in the world beyond Jesus and any other men that ever exist.

If a non Muslim thought Muhammad is the number one, then a Muslim that testifies Muhammad as the messenger of God should also know that Muhammad is a perfect man that free from sin or error. That is why Muslims should learn the story of Muhammad and follow his examples.

US and Israel government sign an agreement to stop “arm smuggling” to Gaza so Gaza will not be used as rocket launch pad to Israel. They ask other countries such as Egypt to do the same.

It means Gaza people will be defenseless while Israel have nuclear bombs, jet fighters, tanks, and warships. When Israel attack again in the future, the total massacre will be a lot easier with no country to help Gaza people just like Israel do in Shabra and Shatilla with Lebanese militia, Nablus, Hebron, etc.

Before Israel attack Gaza and kill more than 1,100 people there (mostly women and children), the US government sent weapons to Israel. Then Israel attack Gaza.

After 21 days fighting, Israel did not dare to enter Gaza because Gaza population is 1.5 million people and the people in Gaza still have rockets and guns. Israel afraid there will be resistance and their soldiers will be killed one by one like US soldiers in Iraq.

That is why Israel made “peace” and withdraw from Gaza. But Israel with the help of US government try to disarm Gaza first before they make another attack.

Why Hamas or should I say Gaza people (because Hamas is the election winner there) firing their rockets to Israel? There are many answers for that question.

First Israel with the help of Egypt and other Arab countries is blockading Gaza so Gaza people have not enough food, medicine, water, and electricity to survive. Gaza people have to live just like underground rats by passing small hidden underground tunnels to get food or medicine because if Israel know Israel will drop bombs from jet planes. Some of Gaza people even eat grass to survive. Is it not enough reason to launch rocket to Israel?

Israel also keep robbing Palestinians land with bulldozers for settlements. At least one American Woman died for “stopping” Israel bulldozers. The Palestine map keep shrinking from 1948, 1967, and now. Is peace (silent) a solution for land robbery by Israel?

Hamas is the election winner in Palestine. Most Palestine people choose Hamas as their leader. According to “Democratic” system they should be the ruler government. Yet the Israel and US government calling Hamas terrorist and try to topple Hamas from Palestine Government. Is it decent?

The attack against Hamas is equal to attack against Palestine People.

Israel have slaughtered many civilians (more than 1,100). Mostly women and children. Israel not only bombs government offices, but also thousands of homes, mosques, and also UN schools. It is a war crime!

Yet Israel seems will not get any sanction at all like Nazi War Criminals. Israel officers, such as Tzipi Livni, freely meet US and European officers and get a warm welcome while she is nothing but a cruel murderer who take part in killing many children and babies in Gaza.

So the next massacre on defenseless Gaza people will continue after Gaza People is totally armless. They will have to face clustered chemical bombs from Israel jet fighters. They will become human experiment for Israel uranium depleted bombs or even nuclear bombs.

Some Arab leaders such as Hosni Mobarak (Egypt President) and also Abdullah (Saudi Arabia King) are helping Israel and US in killing many Muslims. Mobarak closes Gaza borders so Gaza people do not get food and medicine and cannot escape from massacre.

While Abdullah gives Arab lands for US military bases so US soldiers could kill many Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, and also supporting Israel from there. Saudi Arabia also supplying oils for US and Israel so the US-Israel jet fighters, tanks, and rockets could run.

From 21 Arab Countries, there are 9 countries (Including Egypt and Saudi Arabia) that refuse to attend Arab League meeting in Doha, Qatar to help Gaza people. Egypt and Saudi Arabia’s leaders should be ashamed because even Iran which is no Arabic attend the meeting as an observer.

Many Arab Leaders cooperate together with US and Israel government (Egypt even as an Israel Embassy), so the attack against Muslim such as in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine will continue. The war is not over yet.

Israel, US stand against Gaza arms smuggling

As the fighting in the Gaza Strip continues, the United States and Israel have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that aims to stop Hamas smuggling arms into the territory.

The agreement, signed in Washington, is intended to stop weapons being smuggled into Gaza through its border with Egypt.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says any ceasefire in Gaza must include a permanent end to rocket attacks on Israel.

She says other countries are expected to sign a similar agreement with Israel.

“The United States is reaching out to its partners as well, and together, the steps that we and other members of the international community can take will contribute to a durable ceasefire.”

Israel’s Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni says an end to weapons smuggling into Gaza is essential before any ceasefire can be agreed to.

Dr Rice, who blamed Hamas rocket attacks for sparking a 21-day military offensive by Israel, said the memorandum of understanding aims to ensure that “Gaza can never again be used as a launchpad” for such attacks.

Ms Livni thanked her US counterpart for completing this “historic MOU in record time.”

“There must be an end of smuggling of weapons to Gaza,” Ms Livni said.

“The MOU we sign today is … a vital component for the cessation of hostilities.”

However, it was not immediately clear when a ceasefire could be achieved.

At least 1,145 Palestinians have been killed and another 5,160 wounded in the Israeli onslaught, according to Gaza medics.

Some 600 civilians have been slain, including 355 children, they said.

Israel launched its Operation Cast Lead on December 27 to stop Hamas militants, who control the Gaza Strip, from firing rockets on southern Israeli towns.

Ms Livni said Israel had shown restraint for years under Hamas rocket attacks, but Hamas had held “Gaza hostage” and finally to pay “a high price for terror.”

Ms Livni’s trip follows intensive discussions in recent days between senior US and Israeli officials, including a phone conversation between Dr Rice and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Thursday.

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song For GAZA)
(Composed & Performed by Michael Heart)
(Copyright 2009)

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight

We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Michael Heart

Letter From Michael Heart
Dear friends,

I have been overwhelmed by the warmth and the friendship you have all given me in response to my song for Gaza, “We Will Not Go Down”. I am doing my best to go through your numerous messages, emails and comments, and ask you to kindly bear with me until I am able to do so. Please forgive me if I am not able to respond to each and everyone of you; but please also know that I really appreciate your messages.

My original intention to donate proceeds from the sale of the MP3 to charity has been complicated by technical matters; therefore, I have decided to make the song available free of charge. I would like to request that after downloading the song from this page, you kindly donate directly to a charity or an organization dedicated to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. Worthy of note is UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East), which has been helping Palestinian refugees since their dispossession in 1949. Please click here to donate through them: http://www.un.org/unrwa/

Thank you for your continued encouragement of my work as a musician, for your purchases of my CD, and for spreading the song, the video and the message as you have been doing. I am grateful for every demonstration of support I have received from you, and for every thought and prayer that has gone to the people of Gaza.

Sincerely,

Michael Heart

By Stuart Littlewood

While the murderous assault on Gaza continues, I notice there’s a briefing document on the website of the Israeli Embassy in London which has a lie in every line. The West’s mainstream media repeat them, and even the most senior TV and radio interviewers don’t bother to challenge them.

(Watch video: Israel launches deadly air strikes on Gaza)

(Watch video: UN calls for Israel to open Gaza border to aid)

The document is a transcript of Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni’s statement to the Israeli press dated 27 December 2008 – a day that will live in infamy. It is a perfect example of the falsehoods used to dupe not only us westerners but Israel’s own people. The statement shows how the regime’s view of itself is constructed on a web of dishonesty and self-delusion.

For example:

• “Israeli citizens have been under the threat of daily attack from Gaza for years.”

Palestinians have been under harsh Israeli occupation for 60 years.

• “Only this week hundreds of missiles and mortars shells were fired at Israeli civilian communities.”

Only one in 500 Qassam rockets causes a fatality. How many thousands of Israeli bombs, missiles, rockets, grenades and tank-shells have been blasted into the crowded city and towns of the Gaza Strip by Israel’s high-tech weaponry?

• “Until now we have shown restraint. But today there is no other option than a military operation.”

The only legitimate option for Israel is to end the occupation and withdraw behind its 1967 border, as required under international law and UN resolution. Israel has been killing Palestinians at the rate of 8 to 1 since 2000, and children at the rate of nearly 12 to 1 (B’Tselem figures). This is somebody’s idea of restraint?

• “We need to protect our citizens from attack through a military response against the terror infrastructure in Gaza.”

Self defence is not a right exclusive to Israel. Palestinians have an equal right to protect their citizens from the terror tactics of Israel.

• “Israel left Gaza in order to create an opportunity for peace.”

Israel never left Gaza. It still occupies Gaza’s airspace and coastal waters and controls all entrances and exits.

• “In return, the Hamas terror organization took control of Gaza and is using its citizens as cover while it deliberately targets Israeli communities and denies any chance for peace.”

Hamas was voted into power as the legitimate government of Palestine. Israel chose not to accept the people’s choice, which amounted to a denial of their human rights, and immediately set about obliterating it.

• “We have tried everything to reach calm without using force. We agreed to a truce through Egypt that was violated by Hamas, which continued to target Israel, hold Gilad Shalit and build up its arms.”

Try talking. The Israelis’ ongoing siege and economic blockade, begun shortly after Hamas was elected early in 2006, was never going to generate calm. And why is Shalit considered more important than the 9,000 Palestinians abducted and held prisoner by Israel? As soon as a Hamas government was formed Israeli troops arrested 8 Hamas ministers and 20 other parliamentarians, making the work of government impossible.

• “Israel continues to act to prevent humanitarian crisis and to minimize harm to Palestinian civilians.”

Every agency operating in Gaza has warned of the deepening humanitarian crisis and protested about the starvation and suffering, especially of children many of whom show evidence of stunted growth.

• “The responsibility for harm to civilians lies with Hamas.”

Not according to the Fourth Geneva Convention.

• “Hamas is a terrorist organization, supported by Iran, that does not represent the legitimate national interests of the Palestinian people but a radical Islamist agenda that seeks to deny peace for the peoples of this region.”

Hamas was the popular choice of Palestinians at the last election. It is entitled under international law to take up arms against an illegal occupier and invader. If it is supported by Iran, so what? Israel receives mega-support from the U.S. When it comes to terror, it is Israel’s conduct which fits the U.S. definition of terrorism so perfectly – see Bush’s Executive Order 13224, Section 3 – http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs/terror/terror.pdf

• “While confronting Hamas, Israel continues to believe in the two State solution and remains committed to negotiations with the legitimate Palestinian Authority in the context of the peace process, launched at Annapolis.”

Israel is busy establishing irreversible facts on the ground that make a viable Palestinian state impossible. As everyone knows, the regime has reneged on the peace process and carries on building illegal settlements and the illegal Wall, and demolishing Palestinian homes.

Months ago Hamas accepted a Palestinian state based on internationally recognized (pre-1967) borders, in accordance with UN resolutions, with full sovereignty and its capital in Jerusalem, but this has been ignored. Hamas also offered a 10-year truce, also ignored. Earlier, Arafat and the PLO recognized the State of Israel in the Oslo agreement but what good did it do? Today’s U.S.-backed, Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority is not representative of the Palestinian people.

• “Israel expects the support and understanding of the international community, as it confronts terror, and advances the interest of all those who wish the forces of peace and co existence to determine the agenda of this region.”

Israel, next to the U.S., the biggest purveyor of terror in the region and only advances its own interests. It may get the support of Israel lobby stooges in other western governments but is rapidly earning the contempt of everybody else.

From a statement dated 22 December 2008:

• “Hamas, backed by Iran, has regularly stated its desire to see the complete destruction of Israel.”

Israel is itself a leading destroyer and currently engaged in trying to wipe out Hamas and the Gazans. Iran’s Ahmadinajad quoted the late Ayatollah Khomeini as saying that “this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time” – fair comment considering Jerusalem, with Bethlehem, was designated an ‘international city’ under the UN Partition Plan.

Israeli propaganda twisted the Iranian’s words to read “Israel must be wiped off the map”. Zionist sources and the manifestos of Israeli political parties have made it clear for a long time that Israel plans to wipe Palestine off the map, and every act and lie is directed towards that end.

• “Our fight is not with the people of Gaza; it is with the extremists of Hamas.”

Then why does the Israeli navy harass and fire on peaceable Gazan fishermen who are well within their own territorial waters? Why does Israel prevent Palestinian students from taking up places at foreign universities and block hospital spares, medicines, foodstuffs and foreign medics from entering Gaza?

Why has the Israeli navy just rammed a mercy vessel in international waters taking doctors and medicines to Gaza? Latest air-strikes have hit the Islamic University and the ministry of education. These are direct attacks on Gazan civil society and its infrastructure.

• “Hamas started this conflict, and it bears responsibility for any harm to civilians on either side.”

The conflict, started by Jewish terrorists, has been going on for 60 years, decades before Hamas came into being.

• “Israel’s only responsibility is to protect Israeli citizens.”

As the occupying power Israel has a duty to see that the people of the occupied territories come to no harm.

• “Just as Israel seeks to defend its civilian population, Hamas seeks to kill them.”

This reads far better the other way round: “Just as Hamas seeks to defend its civilian population, Israel seeks to kill them.”

• “Rocket attacks have continued for years and are now a daily occurrence. How long does the international community expect Israel will wait before defending itself against them?”

The rocket attacks will end when Israel ends the occupation and stops terrorizing its neighbours.

• “In the south of Israel, Israeli citizens live with air raid sirens sounding every day – sometimes every hour. Their situation is intolerable.”

Not half as intolerable as it is for the Gazans, who live in constant fear of air raids and re-invasion and are constantly under surveillance by armed drones which can fire missiles under computer control from an armchair in Israeli headquarters.

• “For years, the international community has turned a blind eye to this onslaught. Only when Israel seeks to stop the rockets do they take notice.”

For years the international community has turned a blind eye to Israel’s violations of international law and human rights, which is why the problem remains unsolved.

• “Hamas is not only the enemy of Israel – it is the enemy of every Palestinian who believes in peace.”

Israelis just can’t come to terms with the Palestinians’ democratic choice and are bent on obliterating it.

• “It is Hamas’ attacks – not Israel’s reactions – that destroy every opportunity we have for peace.”

The world has managed to work out by now that Israel doesn’t want peace until it has stolen all the land and water it needs to expand its racist state into a ‘Greater Israel’. It is well on the way to achieving this and won’t be thwarted.

• “Palestinian militants targeted by Israel are not just the enemies of the Israeli people; they are criminals under international law, and enemies of peace.”

Israel is in no position to preach international law.

• “What is collective punishment? ‘Collective punishment’ is a city – schools, hospitals, homes – civilians being bombarded every single day by rockets and mortars.”

Collective punishment is keeping a whole population bottled up under siege and blocking supplies and exports, smashing their infrastructure, wrecking their economy and starving their children. Trying to equate Sderot with what’s happening in the Gaza Strip is idiotic.

• “Today’s Middle East is divided between extremists and pragmatists. Hamas, backed by Iran, belongs to the extremists, who must be defeated for the sake of the future of the Middle East…. Israel’s primary goal is peace.”

Israel’s primary goal is the expansion of Israel by making the occupation of the West Bank permanent and bringing the Gazans to their knees.

The core issue in this struggle is the illegality of Israel’s brutal occupation. Israel goes to great lengths to avoid and suppress all mention of it and play-acts the pathetic victim. As the official statements (above) show, the strategy is to frame and define the situation in Israel’s own terms regardless of the truth.

It uses advanced propaganda skills, and the elaborate Israel lobby network, to persuade western politicians and media to accept Israel’s version of events (and even use Israel’s biased language) and not question its motives.

In political PR terms it works wonderfully well. The loony leaders of my own government happily spread the poison and don’t seem interested in halting Israeli aggression and the vaporizing, dismembering and crushing of Gaza’s population. In human PR terms it is a disaster.

I have been listening to the BBC’s senior interviewers these last few days. None has had the gumption to ask Israeli spokesmen the only question that matters – the ‘killer’ question on which hangs the key to peace: WHEN IS ISRAEL GOING TO END ITS OCCUPATION AND RETURN TO THE PALESTINIANS THEIR LANDS AND FREEDOM?

These are the photos of Israel Barbarism on Palestine. The pictures speak for themselves.

Photo of an Israeli soldier pointing gun at a terrified child in front of his father and mother. Is the soldier still human or a heartless monster?

Photo of a dead child killed by Israel.

Photo of a dead baby killed by Israel

Photo of an American and English women killed by Israel soldiers.

Israel is keep taking Palestinian land. That is why the Palestinians which is called “Terrorists” by Israel and its cronies fight the Israel back.

Israel can killed the Palestinians with illegal clustered missiles and chemical weapons launched from jet fighters and helicopters that supplied by US government. Israel can kill Palestine children and babies as much as they want without any sanction with support of US government.

US government give billions of dollar from US Taxpayers to Israel.

US government will veto every resolution that condemn Israel Barbarism because no one could be US president without the support of US Jewish millionaires’ fund and mass media (such as CNN).

Israel bomb UN School that killed 34 children without invasion sanction such as US do in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not even economic sanction that Iran received from US Government.

Who will help the children and babies of Palestine from Israel Barbarism?

Please spread these photos (in www.islammyreligion.wordpress.com) to your friend an family. Don’t let them die without people know or remember.

Israel propagandists are very good. They slaughter Palestinians. Yet they succeed convincing people that the victims are the terrorists.

This eBook is only a bunch of my writings that I sent to internet. Some people have read and enjoyed it.

The original version is in Indonesian language. It is in www.media-islam.or.id. I translate it into English hoping more people could know about the teachings of Islam. Well, the translation is onluy about 10%. I will try to translate it more so the eBook become more complete. I have been working also as an IT manager. So be patient. Every update will be periodically uploaded into www.islammyreligion.wordpress.com

My focus is in Faith/Aqeedah. This is the very basic of being Muslim. If a Muslim has a strong faith, insha Allah he/she will become a good Muslim. Remember, without faith, all of our deeds will be rejected by Allah.

I wish that I could publish it into paper book. But it is hard to get Islamic Publisher that want to publish my book.
