In Russia - Islam is Banned

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:

وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ كَثِيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنْصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَنْصُرُهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ

"If Allah had not driven some people back by means of others, monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques, where Allah's name is mentioned much, would have been pulled down and destroyed. Allah will certainly help those who help Him – Allah is All-Strong, Almighty"

(Al-Hajj, 22: 40)

Last Friday 27th September 2013, Muslims from the Islamic political party Hizb ut Tahrir held an all-Russian protest called "In Russia - Islam is Banned". The reason for this protest is the actions of the authorities, which indicate that in Russia they want to forbid all that is associated with Islam. The decision of Novorossiysk Court to recognize the Quran as extremist, murder of party member Gappaev Abdullah by security forces, hijab ban in schools, demolition of the house of Allah - the Al-Ikhlas Mosque and imprisonment of its imam Rustem Safin; these facts speak for themselves. In Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Ufa, Kazan, Tyumen and other major cities in Russia, Hizb ut Tahrir Shabab spoke in mosques of the call to the Ummah to work together to protect the interests of Islam. On behalf of Hizb ut Tahrir Russia the addresses with the call to stand up for Islam and Muslims were given to imams and muftis. Also at the mosques, leaflets with the call to support Hizb ut Tahrir and the call to stand up for Islam were given. On the bridges of road junctions, banners were stretched which said: "Stop Killing Muslims", "Russia against Islam. The Quran was banned on 17/09/2013" and many others. Also Muslims stood in the streets with posters: "I was killed for believing in Allah. Gappaev Abdullah", "In Russia the Quran is banned. I am against it", "In Russia mosques are demolished. I am against it" and many other posters to attract people's attention to these facts in order thereby to affect the anti-Islamic policy of the Russian authorities.

This campaign was successful, it attracted Mass Media and Ummah responded support. Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:

وَلَوْلا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الأرْضُ

"If it were not for Allah's driving some people back by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted."

(Al-Baqara, 2: 251)

Chinese police rescue 92 children kidnapped for sale

Chinese police rescue 92 children kidnapped for sale - state media

 

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese police have rescued 92 children and two women kidnapped by a gang for sale and arrested 301 suspects, state media said on Saturday, in one of the biggest busts of its kind in years.

Police simultaneously swooped on locations in 11 provinces recently after a six-month investigation, China Central Television and state news agency Xinhua said, quoting the Ministry of Public Security.
An exact date of when the children were rescued and the arrests made was not given.

State media also did not give a breakdown of how many boys and how many girls were kidnapped.
A traditional preference for boys, especially in rural areas, and a strict one-child policy have contributed to a rise in the trafficking of children and women in recent years.

Kidnapped women are sold to men in remote areas who are unable to find brides due to a sex imbalance resulting from the draconian one-child policy, which has also encouraged sex-selective abortions.

The government would impose harsher punishment on people who buy kidnapped children, state television said.

Xinhua said the government would also punish parents who sell their children.

China has trumpeted the success of an intensified crackdown on the kidnapping and sale of children and women recently. In 2011, police said they had rescued more than 13,000 abducted children and 23,000 women over the past two years or so.

Are Christians Islam's Enemies?

Christians not Islam’s enemies, says minister

BY JENNIFER GOMEZ
September 23, 2013

Islam does not have any enmity towards Christians, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom, in response to a parliamentary question today.

Jamil, who is the minister in charge of Islamic affairs, said while Islam is the religion of the federation, other religions are free to be practised.

Jamil said this in response to a supplementary question from DAP's Beruas Member of Parliament Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham.

Ngeh querried if there was any truth in a report on the Friday sermon prepared by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) at a mosque on August 30, in which Christians were labelled as enemies of Islam.

Jamil however sidestepped Ngeh's question on the Friday sermon, saying Islam was a state matter under the Agong and state Rulers.

He said freedom to practise other religions was evident even in Parliament today, saying a Muslim like him was answering a question from Ngeh, who is a Christian.

He went on to say that as Islam is the official religion, religious authorities in the country have a duty to promote the faith among Muslims.

Earlier, PAS's Marang MP Datuk Seri Hadi Awang wanted to know the measures by Jakim to educate people on the diversity of sects in Islam in order to preserve harmony in the Muslim community. -
