Ameen to Shaykh Birjas’ dua. May Allah bless the families of all those unjustly held with joyous reunions in this life and the best of rewards in the next. May He soften our hearts not to judge our brothers and sisters based on the accusations of those who persecute Muslims.

I was reading Qur’an shortly before visiting this site, and among the last ayats I read were some from Surah Aali Imran:

142. Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while Allah has not yet made evident those of you who fight in His cause and made evident those who are steadfast?
…
146. And how many a prophet (fought and) with him fought many religious scholars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allah, nor did they weaken or submit. And Allah loves the steadfast. 147. And their words were not but that they said, “Our Lord, forgive us our sins and the excess (committed) in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give victory over the disbelieving people.” (Sahih International, bold and italics added)

Alhamdulillaah! Great news!

For those of you who have watched the USA-vs-Arian documentary, this will bring sort of a closure to that troubling open-ended issue. May Allah (swt) unite our Muslim brothers and sisters with their family and loved ones around the world. Aameen!

Wassalaam!

There is a good diary on this on DailyKos, with the author defending and refuting several doubts brought on by Israeli, Islamophobic, right-wing foot-soldiers. SAMI AL-ARIAN RELEASED ON BAIL!!!

Allahu Akbar! All Praise is to AL- ‘ADL!

It will be interesting to see how and if the news will cover this. TOO MANY times have so called terrorism cases ended in non-terror related guilty verdicts for charges that sound pretty bad or at least untrustworthy and the general public/casual news viewer walks away with basically the same view as if there was a full out guilty verdict on a terrorism charge…

Let’s not allow that perception to continue. When the accused from our community is vindicated we have to REALLY make sure that it is known.

May Allah free all who are unjustly imprisoned!

Good point Shaykh Sahib… the more the reason that we should push for the same things in the case of Dr. Aafia, and the more the reason to reject extremist and dichotomous lines of action to attack these issues. The American system is as much available for us to use, as it is for those who misuse it to inflict injustice on Muslims. Yes, it is harder for us because of Islamophobia, but there is always a large number of good people who are above stereotypes.
