WE SHOULD NOTE THAT EXTREMISIM IS NOT A FRUIT OF TRUST, EQUALITY AND FAIRNESS- EXTREMISM ARISES WHEN YOU DO
NOT TREAT OTHER PEOPLE EQUALLY AND FAIRLY DUE TO THEIR BELIEF, RACE, COLOR, CULTURE OR LANGUAGE:
-THE NOTE
BELOW IS FROM THE FORMER AUSTRALIAN AMBASSADOR TO SOLOMON ISLANDS-
Muslims in SI
Submitted by Arthur Wate on 11 August, 2005 - 10:11am. Letters
I WRITE to assure you and your readers that, contrary to
suggestions carried in your newspaper on Monday 8 and Wednesday 10 August, at no stage has Australia’s Foreign
Minister, the Hon Alexander Downer MP, asked the Solomon Islands police
to monitor the activities of Muslims in Solomon Islands.
Mr
Downer has had no discussions with Solomon Islands
authorities on these issues.
Of course, all countries need to remain alert for extremists of any creed who might incite
people to carry out terrorist acts or commit such acts themselves.
But there is no suggestion that Solomon Islands Muslims
would contemplate becoming involved in that sort of activity.
People should not link peaceful law-abiding and moderate
Muslims in the Pacific region or elsewhere with extremism. We need to remember that it is not Islam as a religion, but extremism
and violence with which the international community is rightly concerned.
Patrick Cole
Australian High
Commissioner
Editor’s note: We appreciate Mr Cole’s explanations.
But at the same time, we wish to stand by our RSIP/PPF sources that they’ve received instructions from Australia’s Foreign Affairs Department to look into
the activities of the local Muslim community.

THE TALK OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM AND ITS ASSOCIATION
WITH ISLAM AND MUSLIMS.
The one sided world news and the biased media in particular played a big role in advocating
the Islamphobia which is consuming the world over these days.
Today, whenever we hear the word terrorism - we quickly single
handedly pick out muslims.. here, we always refer to sucide bombings and kidnappings and hostage taking across the world
by Muslims. Without any hesitation, we jumped right on the news which usually reported by certain groups of people who wanted
their message to be driven across borders regardless of its truthfulness.
One question that we always forgot or ignore to ask ourselves is " Why does it happen?"
We do not want to care about history and the truth behind whats going on around the world and we kept blindly following
the news. We know for some reason, some supper powers and a group of people behind the scene are responsible for what we eat
every day.. from our education systems, financial systems to our social life.
How many of you would agree with me that INTERNATIONAL SUNCTIONS are act of terrorism? lets
look at some definitions of TERRORISM........."is defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate
governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives."
There are alot of people who points to chychen fighters as terrorists, without knowing WHY
and WHAT they are fighting for.. When other people fight for freedom, you called them freedom fighters, when these guys who
have beeen fighting for their freedom for the last 400 years.. you say its terrorism, what do you expect?? fights like that
go overboard and result in dead of civilians.. Just because muslims are doing this to free themselves doesnt mean that this
is what Islam teach. so better read more so as not to give short and unasked for comments on anyone.
There numerous other definitions as adopted by the european union and one by the United Nations.
All of which points to Violence and use of force..
My question to you is, What happen when developed countries sanctioned poor countries results
in millions dying without food or medicine?? What happen when the economy of the third world countries are terrorised by some
individuals for the most powerful economies results in millions loosing their jobs and hundreds of thousands dies?? what
do we call this?? Do you think is it right let loook at people from third world countries die like animals despite the vast
amount of food we spoil everyday?? Is it only the violence by using force termed as terrorism?? we should outlaw International sucntions and all laws that allowed pervert rich countries to put
their sunctions on a poor country because of its government. Developed countries shouldn't
be acting as DICTATORS for smaller countries.. you are eating all our resources and food and still want to terrorise
us..

How to
Pray (10 easy steps)
Salim 2006 © speak7.com
|
Face the Qiblah (toward Mecca), and make sure you’re in a clean area, think
about which prayer you will be praying: 1st prayer (Subh), 2nd prayer (Dhuhr), 3rd (Asr),
4th (Maghrib), 5th (Ishaa). |
|
|
Standing, you will start the prayer raising both hands up close to your ears and say "Allahu
Akbar" (God is Most Great). (Look at the picture on the side). |
|
|
Then put one hand on the top of the other hand between your chest and upper stomach, and start
reciting surat “al fatiha”, say “ameen” once you finish it, and then
start reciting another small surat (check here to find out more about “al fatiha” and the other “surats”). |
|
|
Once you finish reciting raise your hands up to the ears, saying "Allahu Akbar." Bow (your hands
on your knees, back straight, your face toward the ground, saying three times, "Subhana rabbiyal adheem" (Glory be to my Lord
Almighty). This position is called (ruku’). See photo. |
|
|
Rise back to standing while saying "Sami’a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal hamd"
(God hears those who call upon Him; Our Lord, praise be to You). |
|
|
Raise hands up, saying "Allahu Akbar" then descend to the ground (see photo), while your face
on the ground say three times "Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). This position is called “sujud” |
|
|
Rise to a sitting position (see picture), saying "Allahu Akbar." |
|
|
Then prostrate back on the ground (this is the second time you do it), while your face on the
ground say three times "Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala" |
|
This will conclude the first “rak’a”. Now to start the second “raka’a”
you simply need to repeat steps from 2 to 8. Note that at the end of your second “rak’a” you will have to
add step 9, which is:
|
Rise to a sitting positition (see photo), remain sitting and recite the first part of the Tashahhud
in Arabic: "Atta-hiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu As-salamu 'alaika ayyuh-an-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-ullahi wa barakatuhu
As-salamu 'alaina wa 'alaa 'Ibaadillah-is-salihin. Ash-hadu-al-la-ilaha illAllahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluh”.
Note that while reciting “Ash-hadu-al-la ilaha illaAllahu …” one should move the index finger of the right
hand in a small circle like you’re drawing a circle on the sand beach with your index while the hand is still on the
thigh. Only the index should be moving, the rest of the fingers and hand don’t have to move. See photo:
|
|
|
If the prayer is to be longer than 2 “rak'as”, then add the same steps from 2 to
8 depending on how many “rak’as” you have to perfom, for example if you have to make 4 “rak’as”
then you will have to add steps 2 to 8 two more times (which means 4 times in total). Then finally add the step number
9 again (basically after each two “rak’as” the step #9 is required). |
Main prayers of the day:
1st prayer (Subh) = 2 Rakats
2nd prayer (Dhuhr) = 4 Rakats
3rd prayer (Asr) = 4 Rakats
4th prayer (Maghrib) = 3 Rakats
5th prayer (Ishaa) = 4 Rakats |
|
To end your prayer, while still sitting, turn your face to the right and say "Assalamu alaikum
wa rahmatullah" (Peace be upon you and God's blessings), and turn to the left and say the same “Assalamu alaikum wa
rahmatullah". And that’s how you finish your prayer, easy! |
Example of how to pray the 3rd Prayer (Asr) which consist of 4 Rakats: Follow steps
1-8, then steps 2-9, then steps 2-8, then finally step 2-10. |
Note: There is a second half part of tashahhud which is recited in the final “rak’a”
but if it can be learned later, you don’t have to do it if you’re still in your first days, it says “Allahumma
salli ala Muhammad wa ala aali Muhammad kama salaita ala Ibraheem, wa barik ala Muhammad wa ala aali Muhammad kama barakta
ala Ibraheem wa ala aali Ibraheem fel ‘alameena innaka hameedun majeed”, this will be added to step 9 before reaching
step 10. If you still have questions please e-mail us
