Covenant of Omar Can Bring Peace in Palestine

Covenant of Omar Can Bring Peace in Palestine

Dr. Hannan Ashrawi woke up Antony Lowensteine and many people of this country long time ago. On that time I also learned, “it is not the people of Israel but media outlets and corporate governments of USA, UK (Australia), .. are fanning the fire”.

Enough is enough. Time is right to look at Covenant of Omar and many good deeds of the past to make peace. Manipulation deception is not the way to go.

Muslims Saved Temple Mount

Umar was shocked to find the site covered in rubbish, as the Romans had initiated the custom of using it as a dung heap. 'Umar knelt down immediately, and began to clear the area with his hands. When the Muslims saw what he was doing, they followed his example, and soon the entire area of al-Aqsa, approximately 35 acres (14 ha), was cleaned up.^{[citation needed]} Thereafter, commissioned the construction of a wooden mosque on the southern end of the site, exactly where the present-day mosque of Al-Aqsa stands.

'Umar was then led to the sites of the Foundation Stone by a rabbi, Ka'ab al-Ahbar, who had converted to Islam and was his closest advisor. The rock was surrounded by a fence, and several years later an Umayyad Caliph, Abd al-Malik, built the Dome of the Rock over the site. Under Ka'ab's influence upon Umar, the Jews enjoyed great freedoms during Umar's caliphate in comparison with the Christians, and other religious groups.

Upon taking Jerusalem, 'Umar demonstrated the utmost respect for members of the other faiths living in the city. According to the Encyclopaedia Judaica, seventy Jewish families took up residence in the city. 'Umar also agreed to several pacts, called the Covenant of Omar, with the local Christian population, determining their rights and obligations under Muslim rule.^[5]

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's Middle East Peace Plan

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's Middle East Peace Plan

"During 80s we have used the Iraqis to slaughter the Iranians. In 90's we used the Kuwaitis to murder the Iraqis. Lately we are eliminating the Iraqis without anyone's assistance. Now, we want your assistance to wipe out the Iranians. After all, we are the servants of Israel. We are fighting and dying for Israel. You see, Iraq was invaded to secure Nazi Zionist Israel! Iraq pullout would hurt Israel!!"

The above is the unreported Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's Middle East Peace Plan.

Clinton tackles Mideast peace, Muslim ties in Gulf

Secretary DOHA (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Sunday for more pressure on Iran to curb its nuclear program on a Gulf visit aimed at promoting Arab-Israeli peace and improving U.S. ties with the Islamic world.

Barack Obama

Speaking at a conference on U.S.-Muslim relations, Clinton solicited regional support to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and she sought to blunt anger at U.S. airline screening policies that many Muslims see as discriminatory.

Making her first stop on a three-day visit to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Clinton spend much of her time explaining why the United States believes further U.N. sanctions may be the only way to persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions.

The West, and many Arab states, believe Iran is using its civil nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has said that the program is simply to generate power so it can export more of its valuable oil and gas.

Clinton acknowledged that U.S. President Barack Obama's approach to Iran had not borne fruit, blaming Iran for refusing to engage and suggesting that a fourth U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution was the only option.

"I would like to figure out a way to handle it in as peaceful an approach possible, and I certainly welcome any meaningful engagement, but ... we don't want to be engaging while they are building their bomb," Clinton said at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum conference.

FREEDOMS

While Arab states fear the possibility of Iran getting the bomb, and warn that it could spark a regional arms race, they are also uneasy about the possibility that military action by Israel against Iran could profoundly destabilize the region.

"For us, as a small country, stability and peace is very important," said Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim al-Thani, whose government sponsored the conference with the Brookings Institution's Saban Center for Middle East Policy.

"The best thing for this problem is direct dialogue between the United States and Iran," he added.

Clinton also took on other issues of concern in the Arab world, including unhappiness at the Obama administration's failure to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the absence of democracy in many states in the region and U.S. screening policies imposed to try to prevent airliner attacks.

"I know people are disappointed that we have not yet achieved a breakthrough," Clinton said of the six-decade Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "This is hard work."

She also sought to blunt a perception that the United States has done too little to promote democracy and human rights in the region, a point made sharply by exiled Egyptian sociologist Saadeddin Ibrahim.

"I want to tell you we have freedom of expression in Egypt. The question is freedom after expression. That is what is lacking," he said prompting laughter and applause. "What is the U.S. stance on the rights of dissidents in the Muslim world?"

Clinton stressed long-standing U.S. support for human rights and, elsewhere in her speech, asked for patience from travelers for tougher airline screening procedures following the abortive Christmas Day airliner bombing near Detroit.

Several people in the audience were not impressed.

"You do feel like you are being picked out. Just by being what you are, you're guilty -- it's for you to prove your innocence," said Fuad Nahdi. "So that makes it hard for me to accept (the U.S.) rhetoric."

Most of these incitements mentioned above are based on false and fabricated assumptions and scattered cases. Most importantly, almost all of your shock jocks do not provide any right of reply to targeted groups mentioned above. In good old days, we used to hear one or two faint opposing voices at 2GB. These days, we hear none! Monday, 8/2/2010, at about 1.50 a.m., David Oldfield went on an anti-Muslim orgy based on supposedly an email from someone about a Turkish father and grandfather allegedly buried their daughter alive for some reason. This type of obscure and trumped up stories has been used many times before to insult and abuse Muslims and Arabs!, Where as Stories like an Anglo-Saxon Caucasian raped his mother, etc. has never been an issue to put all Anglo-Saxon majority Australians down Salman Rushdie, Ershad Manji, Ayaan Hirshi Ali, and Norma Khouri and far too many notorious identities were suitably chosen to defame and oppress Muslim communities. Most of these pied pipers’ allegations were never proven correct to be wrong and ill-motivated. Even we were told that some of them were haunted by the FBI like Osama bin Laden! Yet, many bad media outlets made millions of stories and documentaries against Muslims and Arabs based on nitrogenous wastes. Since then, these junk media empires are using those baseless anti-Muslim and anti-Arab propaganda materials like the Gospel truth without any remorse whatsoever! Anyway, these days, your station's reception staff has orders not to pick up the phone if I ring from my mobile phone. So I used a different technique to ring your station last night! I got in like Flynn. I said to the switch person, “I got in straight away, that means you are not busy?” She replied, “no, five people ahead of you”. I then said, “no problem, this is Faruque Ahmed and may I ask you a few questions: 1. Does your station have a policy to incite against Muslims and Arabs? 2. Does your station have a policy to not to provide a right of reply to Muslims and Arabs? 3. Does your station have a policy to ban me personally?” She then became very angry, agitated and defensive. She also told me that she does not make any editorial or management policies. At one stage she cut me off for no reason and she did not bother to take my phone number too. Since then your station aired many anti-Muslim and anti-Arab propaganda materials. In frustration I rang your station again at about 3.10 a.m., to set the record straight. In light of ongoing prejudice and bigotry emanating from your station for a long time, I wanted to say, 1. “Many non-Arab and non-Muslim people have raped their own daughters including fathered children from their own daughters beside many other despicable crimes! Have you or your station ever condemned them or exposed them like the Muslims and Arabs?” Alas! I have not had a chance to pass the message as the switch person left the answering machine on. Nonetheless, I left similar message to the answering machine. In light of ongoing and deliberate hate-a-thon continuously evaporating from your radio station into the clean air of NSW, it becomes a must for the victim to react in defense and to stop these cruel and barbaric incitements against the Arabs, Muslims, migrants and Aboriginals immediately. Failure to do so may attract legal action by your victims in due course of time.

Recently, the Sydney Morning Herald made a wonderful contribution to expose the long overdue exposure of taxi mafia and beyond. As a result a few legal proceedings, investigation and inquiries including the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry with pragmatic “terms of references” are going to take place soon. Beside my taxi industry activism, I am a prolific contributor of talk back shows including your radio station. Sadly, over the last few weeks I have been silenced from the talk back radio without any reason whatsoever! However, it is noticeable that many advertisements by the NSW Taxi Council Limited and taxi companies are appearing in your station lately! One may think, maybe the commercial inducement of the taxi industry or some other factors are instrumental behind my blockade in the talk back shows. I hope you will be kind enough to clear the air in this regard at your earliest opportunity. Sincerely Yours Faruque Ahmed Friday, November 20, 2009
