A message to the Zionist Church 

from 

Presidential candidate Anisa Abd el Fattah

On the Murder of Shaima Alawadi

                Today is Sunday. Many of you will go to church today and you will pray and sing praises to your gods and make requests to them for prosperity and all things that are good, but only for yourselves. You will pray for protection and for the guidance of your gods, and you will say repeatedly that you are saved by god’s blood and that you are blessed. You will drink the blood of your gods and then eat their flesh. You will do this as you send unmanned drones to murder innocent brown and black people, women and children, as they gather in their countries to attend weddings, or to share a meal, or as they walk to school, or as they sleep in their homes, in their beds at night.  You kill them because in spite of the fact that God has indeed given you everything, you want more and you want others to have nothing. You kill these people in order to steal their land and their oil and other natural resources, even though God provided you with enough wealth to buy oil and all of the things you need.  Instead of using your wealth for trade and commerce among mankind, you wasted trillions on war, to the extent that you bankrupted our country to steal what you could have purchased for much less, considering that you also sacrificed the lives of your children, sending them off to kill innocents, while lying and telling them that they were going to fight and die for freedom. 

            I was born in the United States and raised as a Christian. My father’s family was mostly protestant ministers and for years I attended Catholic schools and studied the catechism as a way to lessen my tuition. I studied the Bible as a young adult for 8 years of my life, seeking to make sense of all of the many things I had been taught by the Church, hoping to understand how one book could say so many different things, to so many different denominations of people, all professing belief in the same book, while the majority lived contrary to what it teaches.   

As I studied, I asked myself why Blacks and whites who worship the same god can’t worship in the same churches, or go to the same schools, or live in the same neighborhoods.  I asked myself why a people who claim Jesus can live in such stark contrast to his message.  I wondered why you hated and killed and persecuted homosexuals, but you are fornicators and adulterers, liars and thieves and you go unpunished.  I asked myself why you kill abortionists and call yourselves pro-life and you have slaughtered millions of innocent children because they are not white, or Christian, or Jewish.  Your clerics live like kings, while the people live in poverty. I asked myself why you hate and why you teach hate and profess Jesus Christ.  I wondered how the Ku Klux Klan was founded in the Church and why Darwin was paid by the Church to deny that God had created all men equally and that God and not man is the true sustainer. You lied on God and said that he had created too many people and caused poverty, when in fact God created a world that yields enough of everything, for everyone. It is greed and corruption that causes poverty. 

            I listen as you profess to be people of a Judeo-Christian tradition.  There is nothing in the Bible called Judeo-Christian. It is something you created for political purposes in order to impose your beliefs upon everyone in the country, under the guise of advancing culture and tradition.  This, in spite of the fact that the Constitution of which you claim ownership, prohibits your attempts to impose your religious views upon other Americans, denying us our rights to religious choice, freedom of expression and practice of our own faiths.  You claim to be the guardians of the country and the faith, but I wonder.  You allowed your so called friends and allies along with people in our own government, to attack the US on September 11, 2001 and to slaughter approximately 3000 people.  Rather than to investigate and seek the truth, and to bring the guilty to justice, you commissioned people to hide the truth and to report lies so you could use that horrific incident  as a cause for your racist wars , motivated by hatred and greed. You want power, and you think there is power in numbers, so you killed 5 million people, hoping to convert 1.5 billion.  Not to save their souls, but to get their money ad to control their minds. 

            Yesterday, March 24, 2012 a Muslim woman named Shaima Alawadi died. She died from wounds, resulting from a brutal assault carried out against her by one or more cowards. They apparently broke into her home and hid inside and when she came home they beat her repeatedly over the head with a tire iron. Her daughter came home and found her lying in a pool of her own blood.  As tragic as that situation is, it is only one of many hate crimes against Muslims that has taken place in our country. Several years ago a young Palestinian American man was found bound and gagged in his car, which had been driven into a pond. The police said his hands were taped to the steering wheel and his foot to the gas pedal. They called it a suicide and closed his case.  In another incident a Palestinian man in Texas was tied to a truck and dragged through the streets until dead. There has not been an investigation, nor has anyone been arrested for that crime. Prior to that, a young pregnant Muslim woman’s home was attacked by a mob reacting to wrong news reports that Muslims had blown up a building in Oklahoma City.  From the stress of the terror she miscarried and her child was born dead.  No one was ever arrested and the media refused to apologize for the lies they told.  A Turkish American human rights activist had his brains blown out by Israeli commandoes while delivering aide to the Gaza strip.  Because he was a Muslim who was killed by Zionist Jews, and who didn’t look like Obama’s son would look, our president wouldn’t even mention his name, or offer any comfort to his family. 

Over the past ten years or more, Muslims in the US have been profiled, targeted for assassinations , spied upon, denied religious freedoms, kidnapped, tortured, murdered, entrapped, lied on,  humiliated and persecuted. This is all the result of an ongoing campaign of anti-Muslim hatred being carried out against Muslims by the Zionist Church and synagogue. It is being instigated by our bought and paid for political and pseudo religious leaders, whose racist rants and rhetoric are amplified by the Zionist controlled media.  Religious fanatics who follow the likes of John Hagee are the likely culprits in many of these crimes. John Hagee said at an AIPAC conference, after the murder of a Palestinian American activist that he and his followers had proven that their devotion to Israel goes beyond mere talk. 

You should be advised that no matter what you do to believing Muslims, we will never worship your gods. We will never eat their flesh and drink their blood. We will never call them God, or son of God. We will never sacrifice our, or anyone else’s children to them.  

We want justice for Shaima Alawadi and all of the Muslims who have fallen, victims of your lies, hypocrisy, persecution and crimes and we will have it. "Jesus wept" (John 11:35).

Why Khader Adnan Matters

                             

Anisa Abd El Fattah

 It is very disturbing to think about the fact that a human being in Palestine has decided to die from starvation rather than to be subjected any longer to the injustice and indignity that is the continued illegal occupation of Palestine.  Khader Adnan, a Palestinian resistance activist mounted a hunger strike in December 2011 after being arrested at his home in the West Bank and placed under administrative detention in an Israeli jail without charge or trial.  He has been without food or water for more than 64 days and many are saying that he has reached a point where his bodily functions cannot be restored, and so his death is imminent. 

When I decided this morning that I wanted to write something about Mr. Adnan, I spent more than a few minutes trying to figure out exactly what I would like to say. There is so much to say about the fact that we, the people of the world, are being forced again to witness yet another act of Israeli sadism.   It is almost daily now that Israel is carrying out a kidnapping, a killing, storming and desecrating Muslim and Christian holy sites, illegally confiscating land, poisoning water wells and destroying Palestinian agriculture, among other crimes. The list of daily atrocities committed by Israel against the Palestinian people keeps getting longer, while the patience of most decent people in the world is getting shorter.   It is as if Israel is saying to the world that not only will it not abide by any law other than its Talmudic law, it will not even recognize the humanity of the approximately 98% of the world’s population who are not Jewish.  I’ll explain more about that later.

Israel’s appeals court decided to review Khader’s case, but it will not be reviewed immediately,  meaning there is a possibility that the review will be meaningless.  The timing of the review is to be counted among Israel’s other acts of cruelty and inhumanness. Nothing prevented Israel from having this review sooner, and nothing prevents Israel from reviewing the case immediately. It seems Israel, as when it boarded a humanitarian aid ship in international waters several years ago, and subsequently killed 9 humanitarian aid activists by blowing out their brains at close range with automatic weapons, gets a kick out of shock and awe killings. Killings that not only turn our stomachs and bring tears to our eyes, but also  remind us in the harshest ways, that Gentile life simply does not matter to the Jewish state. 

Israel’s killing of Khader Adnan by hunger strike is proof that not only does Israel refuse to recognize the humanity of non-Jews; as far as they are concerned the life of the Palestinian Gentile Khader Adnan simply does not matter.  After all, Khader Adnan is only one of perhaps millions of Palestinians who have, since 1948 been subjected to numerous massacres and daily humiliation carried out by Israel. Israel kills with impunity, while the US, EU and the UN do nothing but call for Palestinian restraint.   For this reason, I will write about Khader Adnan as a Palestinian and as a human being, and why his life matters. 

Perhaps very few people in today’s world would say that a person born under Israeli occupation and who has lived as a captive all of their lives could have much value.  Khader Adnan didn’t attend or graduate from Yale or Harvard. His parents are not fake Jewish royalty. He is a Palestinian, an Arab and a Muslim, three of the most loathed and feared characteristics that can be attributed to anyone. It could only be worse for him if he were Black or Brown. 

He is poor and to seal his fate and further torment his destiny, he is also a leader in the Palestinian resistance. This alone is a cause for death in the eyes of most Israelis. As far as Israel is concerned, anyone who dare resist Israel’s domination and control is automatically doomed. And if that resistance involves arms, or a willingness to take up arms against Israel, in the eyes of Israel and its supporters, you are also a terrorist, which means in today’s world, that you not only lack any human value, you have no rights, not even a right to life.  

Israel’s repulsion to terrorism does not include Jewish terrorism. I could fill several pages with a list of acts of Jewish terrorism carried out against gentiles; the most recent perhaps is the death of the African American singer Whitney Houston who many believe was killed by Zionist Jewish operatives here in the US. They believe her possible murder was an act of revenge for her refusing to shake the hand of then Israeli PM Ariel Sharon, whose publicly extended hand was publicly rejected by Houston, who backed away.  I mention this only to deny those who will mistakenly attribute Israel’s pretend aversion to terrorism to morality. Israel’s so called war on terrorism has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with Jewish supremacism.  Their Talmud says that if a goyim or gentile kills a Jew, he or she must die, but if a Jew kills a gentile, or goyim no harm is done. 

By allowing Khader Adnan to die from starvation, Israel is sending the Palestinian people and in fact the entire non Jewish world the message that if we dare to resist their over lordship, we must die. They are teaching us that even if we kill ourselves, whether through starvation or suicide bombings that in fact they did kill us, because they left no other options. It goes without saying of course, that Israel prefers hunger strikers and peaceful protesters to suicide bombers, since the suicide bombers used to also kill Jews which reminds us that in both birth and death, the human being is indistinguishable.  None of us are hatched from eggs, immaculate conceptions, or descended from the heavens.  We also all die, and are killed by the same types of misfortunes. 

 

Khader Adnan matters because he is a human being, created by God. He was created with a soul that had a destiny attached to it. We don’t yet know the destiny of the soul called Khader Adnan except we know it was born to resist.  Khader Adnan was born to resist injustice and humiliation and to fight oppression. He was born to sacrifice his life for the sake of others.  Khader Adnan was described by the prophet Muhammad (sa) and prophet Issa (sa) as a stranger to this world.  Khader Adnan is a man who refused to sell eternity for a temporary life of ease. Khader Adnan is a man who stored his treasures where his heart is. Khader Adnan is what Imam Khomeni described as a beautiful madman. Khader Adnan is a man who sacrificed his life in a most painful and selfless way, on behalf of every human soul that is struggling for its freedom, dignity and justice. Khader Adnan is a martyr. Now, count the number of such human beings that have existed in our lifetime, and it will become immediately apparent why Khader Adnan matters. 

May Allah bless Khader Adnan and give us the courage to make his life and his sacrifice valuable and meaningful to those he will leave behind. Viva the resistance! Viva Khader Adnan!  Viva Palestine!
