She is sooo patient with the press, unfortuantely i read an article in cageprisoners that said the kids been having nightmares and loss of memory. Im glad that shes a psychiatrist so she will know how to deal with him. One thing I dont understand is that shes always on the news, but I never saw aafias brother doing nething?

		<description>Jazak Allah khayr Bint Bashir for that confirmation of the good news we received in this article.

A friend has sent me a link to an article, and I want to share it here.

&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esquire.com/features/what-it-feels-like/guantanamo-guard-0808?kw=ist&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;What It Feels Like...to Be a Prison Guard at Guantánamo Bay&lt;/a&gt;&quot;  Warning, the article is on the site esquire.com, and that means much of the content on the page is simply put, haram.  &lt;strong&gt;But the article itself should be read.&lt;/strong&gt;  It is the experience of a soldier who enlisted at the age of 17 in 2001.

There&#039;s also a link at the end of the article, too: &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esquire.com/features/what-it-feels-like/guantanamo-prisoner-0808&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;What It Feels Like...to Be a Prisoner at Guantánamo Bay&lt;/a&gt;&quot;  Same warning.  This is the experience of former prisoner Murat Kurnaz.  According to this much briefer article, he was imprisoned for five years.</description>

		<description>The boy with Aafias family is her son, Alhumdulilah. 

There is no word on her other 2 children, may Allah protect them and return them home soon, Ameen. 

I think its fair to say you should not believe everything you read, cageprisoners site is the place to go on solid information on such matters, remember they want to distort this case as much as possible, and damage Aafias name as much as the can, to srengthen their own case. 

But what they forget is that they plan, but Allah plans, and He is the best of planners.</description>

		<description>innalhamdolillah. bismillah. let us not give in to too fretted speculation nor start asking the family to defend itself from the claims of Dr. Aafia&#039;s captors -- not when those captors refuse to be forthcoming with evidence, when they conduct torture and exonerate themselves by calling it by other names, and not when the news story reports that the boy is with his mother&#039;s sister now.

let the family care for this child and settle for themselves what has happened.  there is no doubt that the truth will out.

so if your heart is filled with worry or with doubt, seek steadfastness from Allah; remember the words of Yakub alayhis salam, &quot;fasabrun jameelan,&quot; then steadfastness/patience is (more) beautiful (than forsaking reliance on Allah).

and continue to make dua for Dr. Aafia, for her two other missing children, and for all the Muslims who are held without justice and/or in inhuman conditions, whether they be men or women, children, adult, or elderly, hale or infirm, none of those on whom injustice has been done deserves to be forsaken by any Muslim.

indeed, rather it is those of us who are free who will be held to account:
&lt;blockquote&gt; وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاء وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيّاً وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيراً
Ayat 75, Surah An-Nisa:
(Sahih International): And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, &quot;Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?&quot;

  الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ الطَّاغُوتِ فَقَاتِلُواْ أَوْلِيَاء الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطَانِ كَانَ ضَعِيفاً
Ayat 76, Surah An-Nisa:
(Sahih International): Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah , and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

May Allah forgive us for what we owe these Muslims, and may He Guide any who can do more -- whether demonstrations, vigils, dua, public speeches and letters, anything that is better than abject silence -- to what is better than their inaction.</description>

		<description>I think the adoption claims are bogus, created by afghans/cia.

What it does seem to suggest is that the kid may not be dr. Aafia&#039;s and they&#039;re setting stage for a DNA mismatch...kind of like what Hidaya alluded to. I really hope that he is the son, but only Allah knows. May Allah destroy those who hatch evil plots. What awful games these people are playing!</description>
