In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...
On the 2nd of August 2010, Monday a Grad Missile from outside of Jordan landed in Aqaba, which is the only sea port in Jordan. The result was six injuries, with one of those injured becoming a martyr. The martyr had serious injuries and so he is at peace with Allah now insha' Allah. The Zionist police claimed that the missile was from Sinai, which is the peninsula that is part of Egypt. At first a senior Egyptian official denied it being from Sinai. The Jordanian Authorities are still investigating into the matter. In my opinion, I accuse three sides of the terrorist attack on Aqaba.
The three sides are: The Zionists of Occupied Palestine, the Egyptian Government and the U.S., whether it is government or intelligence or both. Some time after the Egyptian official denied it being from Sinai, the Egyptians changed their position and mentioned that it was from Sinai. They also falsely accused some Palestinian faction from Gaza of it. At first they denied it was from Sinai, and some time afterward they not only "confirmed" it from Sinai, but also unjustly accused a side that is innocent of it. There is obvious contradiction from the Egyptian side, and why is that?
Is there the possibility that the Egyptian Government was pressured to change their story? If so, who pressured them? In my opinion the Egyptian Government was most likely pressured to change their story. As for who pressured them, it was obviously the U.S. and the Zionists without doubt. When Egypt denied it was from Sinai at first, they also mentioned strong security presence along the border with Gaza and occupied Palestine. All of a sudden there was no mention of the strong security presence afterward, as if it has vanished into thin air. The missile attack on Aqaba was the second missile attack on it.
There were injuries from the attack on Aqaba, yet the deceiving attack on a port in occupied Palestine had no injuries. In my view, that is a little bit suspicious. The Palestinian Authority and the U.N. both condemned the attack on Aqaba, but the U.S. mentioned that it was a "regrettable act"! What kind of a response is that?! Shouldn't it have been more liked "terrorist act"? Is that evidence of guilt? Or of U.S. involvement in the attack against one of its allies in the Middle East? The timing of such an attack should be noticed and observed as well. Just a few months before the Zionists committed an act of piracy.
It was an act of piracy in International Waters where the Zionists martyred nine Turkish activists in cold blood. It was a time when the Palestinians of Gaza had sympathy from peoples of different nations. It also put the spotlight on Gaza and the illegal blockade on it. It rightfully put the Zionists in hot water. There was no condemnation of the attack on Aqaba from the Zionists, and just a day afterward the Zionists unjustly went after some trees on Lebanese land, which sparked a skirmish between the Zionist and Lebanese armies. It was the first time the Lebanese army had a fight with the Zionists.
It is important to mention that Hizbullah stayed out of the skirmish. The Zionist Prime Minister unjustly and falsely accused the Palestinian Government of the attack on Aqaba, with the Palestinian Government being Hamas in Gaza. That is illogical. It wouldn't be in Hamas' interest to do such a thing. That's one thing. Another thing is that moving missiles from Gaza into Sinai wouldn't be an easy job. The Egyptian security forces would soon discover such weapons and confiscate them.
If the Egyptian security forces had a strong presence on the border, there wouldn't have been any chance or possibility for any Palestinian faction to do such an act without being discovered. It is obvious that the Egyptian Government cooperated with the Zionists and the U.S. in attacking Aqaba. The Egyptian security forces let the Zionists in easily with their weapons. As such, the Egyptian Government is responsible as much as the Zionists are. Such attacks on Aqaba not only show the vulnerability of the sea port, but it also shows that the Zionists idea of a Greater Israel hasn't vanished.
A Greater Israel that would consume Jordan. I have learned that there are some Jordanian journalists who falsely suggested a group related to al-Qaeda was behind it. There is no such evidence of that for one thing. For another thing that is illogical. The Zionists have the most interest in doing such an attack on Jordan, however covertly it might be. The Zionists have time and time again tried to provoke Jordan into a war against it. Such attacks on Jordanian territory is strong provocation.
The Zionist Prime Minister falsely accusing Hamas is like saying that the assassination attempt on the Iranian President succeeded. The Zionists mention "provocations" against it, like flotillas and ships trying to break the naval blockade on Gaza, yet what about the numerous Zionist provocations against Jordan, whether it involves al-Quds (East Jerusalem) and al-Aqsa or other stuff? It is interesting that the Zionists are going after trees near the Lebanese border, especially a day after their terrorist attack on Aqaba. Afterward the Zionist Air Force increased its illusionary "raids" on South Lebanon.
First it was at medium altitudes and then at a wider larger scale at lower altitudes. There were more wide targets the Zionist Air Force raided illusionary in South Lebanon. It seems to me that the Zionists are getting impatient about there being no war, especially since their terrorist atrocities against Gaza almost two years ago. The main target of the terrorist attack was Aqaba. The attack on the sea port on occupied Palestine was just a diversion, just to unjustly accuse those innocent of it. It's kind of silly that the Zionists of Occupied Palestine attacked one of their sea ports to turn attention away from them.
Accusing the Egyptian Government is a strong accusation and some might say it would divide the Arabs because of it. What I say is that the Egyptian Government is already dividing the Arabs and it deserves to be accused of it without any hesitation. I would request that those from the Jordanian side investigating it to make bold announcements, and to have bright and open minds. I also request that they shrug off any pressure to change or manipulate the truth behind the attack. There is propaganda and falsehood that the Egyptians announce and mention to some media sources.
I would request the Jordanian media and news to ignore such propaganda and falsehood. Last, but not least, I would request the Jordanian Leadership and Government to forge closer ties with Hamas to have better relations and better intelligence.

Finding the Native Americas by Muslims
by Ammaar ibn Walid
The Star Trail Lines Writer
The 26th of November 2009, Thursday
The 9th of Dhulhijja 1430 (Day of Arafa)
I had asked a question about Muslims finding both American Continents on Yahoo! Answers some time ago, and the question and best answer I chose are below.
* * * * *
"What would have happened if the Muslims found both American Continents?
How would have history changed if it was the Muslims who sailed and found both North and South America? How would they have treated the natives of both continents? Would they wipe them out, or something else?
Be aware, I mentioned 'found' not 'discovered'...
... Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
When Muslims conquered Persia & 2/3 of Byzantium, & Iberia (Spain & Portugal) the did number of things including the following:
- They give people the choice to embrace Islam or to keep their religion. Remember the Golden age of Jewish culture was the time when the Jews lived in Muslim Spain.
Therefore, Muslim would never wipe out the Native Americans as the white man did. Remember when Granada had fallen to the Spaniards, they launched the inquisition & burned many Muslims & Jews to the stake. Later the Spanish & Portugese had brought the inquisition to the new world
- Muslims would use the knowledge of the native Americans & try to advance it, Just as they preserved the knowledge of the Greek & incorporate with the knowledge of the Persians, Greek, Indians, & others
- Muslims would develop the economy of both Americas & link them to the rest of the world. They would build new cities & make them centers of learning & bring them prosperity, just as they built Cairo & Baghdad during the golden age of Islamic civilization.
But of course Muslims are no angels. If the corruption that had spread in the Muslim world today (especially among rulers, scholars, & intellects) reached the new world the Americas would be as bad as the rest of the Muslim world today.
... Thank you. You are the only one who took the question seriously and put up possible stuff that might have happened. Congrats on your best answer..."

Strong Fan of Al-Andalus
by Ammaar ibn Walid

The 19th of Dhulqo'dah 1430
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...
(Originally written on "Jaacto Times" on the 7th of August 2009.)
This might not be the only post of mine in this journal of mine about Al-Andalus. There is a lot of history about Al-Andalus, and I know of different pieces of the puzzle of the history of Al-Andalus, as I don't know everything about it.
Since I don't know everything about it, I don't have all the pieces of the puzzle. It was through a clip that I came to understand something that was wrongfully spreading the internet. It was spreading amongst Muslims to be more precise.
I had, one way or another, received messages through groups I'm in about not using the words such as "mosque", and use the original, which is "masjid". Some brethren were amazing in responding to such posts.
It is said not to use the word "mosque" because it is similar to "mosquito". Only Allah knows, but I think I understand the source of the whole "mosquito"/"mosque" issue, and it probably could be traced back to Andalusia.
Andalusia is the southern province of Spain, which was the last part of Al-Andalus that Muslims were kicked out of brutally through the Spanish inquisition. Al-Andalus wasn't always only Andalusia. Al-Andalus covered most of the Iberian Peninsula.
Anyhow, back to the "mosquito"/"mosque" issue. There is a famous landmark built by the Muslims in Cordoba during Al-Andalus era. The landmark is a large mosque, and in the 500s a Cathedral was built in the middle of it.
It's known in Spain as the Cathedral, where as locally it was known as the Mosquito. Linking mosquito and mosque together, and that's where the misunderstanding about mosquito and masjid comes from most likely.
I've indirectly learned of this through a clip about Al-Andalus history on YouTube.
That's in my opinion only though. Al-Andalus has numerous names, including Land of the Vandals; Islamic Spain, and Moor Spain. I prefer the title of Al-Andalus. Led first by Tarek ibn Ziyad, who was the first Muslim leader to open the Iberian Peninsula, and then followed later by Musa ibn Nusair.
The opening was from the land which is currently known as Morocco. A worthy note of attention is that there was some territory in Morocco that the Muslims couldn't get to, and that was Ceuta, or known as Sapta (سبتة) in Arabic.
With help from the Christian leader of that place, the Muslim army, led by Tarek ibn Ziyad, was able to open the Iberian Peninsula. That was the first opening the Muslims had in Europe.
The second came centuries later through the Ottoman Khilafa, and the opening of the Balkans. That's a whole other issue together. Al-Andalus wasn't always in unity during its era of existence. The unity came at different separate times.
One of those that united Al-Andalus was a survivor of the Umayyad Khilafa, who fled to Al-Andalus. He was Abdurahman. It was through him that the Umayyad family continued, even though the Khilafa under its rule was destroyed.
It was destroyed by the Abbasids, who became the new Khilafa for the Islamic Nation. I know of certain famous Muslims that came from Al-Andalus, or somehow were relevant to that Islamic land. I know of Ibn Sina. There is also Yusuf ibn Tashfeen.
Others include Abdurahman Al-Ghafiqi, who was a military commander, who died in the battle of بلاط الشهداء. After he was martyred, the Muslims were divided and without one strong commander, and so they lost in Poitiers in 732.
An interesting thought is that even with all the divisions amongst the Muslims, being fans of Al-Andalus could be a key to help unite the Islamic Umma. There are Sufi fans of Al-Andalus and Salafi fans of Al-Andalus.
Some day I would like to go visit southern Spain, or Andalusia. I would love to see what the Muslims during Al-Andalus period made and constructed with my own eyes. Al-Andalus isn't commonly known as "Al-Andalus".
Even if the Muslims get back Al-Andalus somehow in the future, I don't think it could ever be like the Al-Andalus of the past.

Zionists pressure YouTube over removal of pro-Islamic Videos
by Ammaar ibn Walid

The 28th of Ramadan 1430
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...
Today I've found out something really hateful. It's nothing new, but why it sparked my interest more than others is because of its type.
I'm talking about YouTube's unreasonable removal of certain videos and clips on its website. I can understand the Zionists pressuring YouTube to remove videos that are anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian. Not surprisingly the site responded and removed such videos... Videos which are sensitive...
The videos I'm mentioning here aren't sensitive videos. They are videos that I found out -only today- that have been removed. The only possible reason behind their removal is because the Zionists didn't like it.
The videos were parts of a BBC documentary about the Islamic History of Europe. The videos gave historical information -which happened centuries ago- in some countries in Europe that were once Muslim countries. It's important to mention that the accounts that uploaded such videos have been suspended.
I've downloaded some of the parts of the documentary onto my computer before they were removed, and I intend to spread the videos back onto the internet, but not back onto YouTube for sure. It's too clear that removal of such videos won't stop anytime soon.
YouTube isn't the only site on the internet being pressured by the Zionists. Another site that is being pressured by the Zionists, is being pressured in a similar method. The Zionists pressure this well known site to not only remove sensitive videos, but also sensitive photos and accounts.
Under numerous reports against certain groups on this site, a site admin had removed some groups reported. The groups are pro-Palestinian groups. Other things unreasonably removed on this site included fan pages.
The site I'm speaking about is Facebook, where over 100 million users are registered on. Besides the removals, Facebook was pressured by one group to change the location of some Israeli residents of Golan Heights to that of Israel.
The reaction from Syria is known too well. It decided to boycott Facebook because of it. Some Israeli citizens live in Syria, and this is something well known to me. In spite of all these kinds of removals and pressure from the Zionists, it appears that such pressure comes from them being threatened.
I don't think the Zionists would be threatened to go to such measures unless it was serious for them. The reason behind them being threatened is because of the revival of Islamic Umma (Nation).
The Zionists are trying to control the internet, but aren't succeeding -and won't succeed- in doing that! Such videos -whether they are sensitive or not- would eventually stay on the internet one way or another. The photos and groups would appear elsewhere as well.
