Muhammad (P) - Film Screening
Fourteen hundred years ago, a humble merchant who could not read or write changed the face of Arabia. Today, his influence has spread to every corner of the world including the United States.

It is a story about the merchant, husband, father, statesman and warrior whom they consider the final prophet…, the man whose legacy continues to shape their lives today.
Manufacturing Fear
By: Dr. Aslam Abdullah - IslamiCity*
If I write a column arguing that Bernard Madoff, a Jew by birth, cheated mostly Christian investors of billions of dollars, you will rightly call me crazy.
If I argue that some Jewish religious organizations that received money from Madoff were thriving on the loot, you will rightly call me insane.
If I whisper that Madoff was a supporter of Israel and his intention was to financially help the Zionist land, you will call me an anti-Semitic.
If I say that Madoff was a family man who was trying to support his family and community that is always the victim of anti-Semites, you will definitely jump to my throat.
If I say that Madoff was reading the Jewish scriptures and using some verses that justify maltreatment of gentiles to launch his ponzy schemes, you will definitely call me a mad man and rightly so.

"Israel's actions in and around Jerusalem constitute one of the most acute challenges to Israeli-Palestinian peace-making," says the EU Heads of Mission Report on East Jerusalem obtained by the Guardian on Saturday, March 7.
The report, dated December 15, 2008, says the Israeli measures in Al-Quds are meant to judaize the holy city.

“An underlying reason that years of U.S. diplomacy have failed and violence in the Middle East persists is that some Israeli leaders continue to create facts by building settlements in occupied territory.”
