Salam all,
Friends and well wishers, it is only fair of us at this moment to take a little breath and refresh our minds with some factual evidence that could be gathered from the debris of history.
My gift to you this morning comes in a form of two electronic books titled: The Controversy Of Zion, by Douglas Reed and The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler.
Douglas Reed was the only "ordained", among others, leading reporter of the Times in Berlin,Germany, during second world war, before he was expelled and despite his popularity with the crowd around the world, he began to sink and his books gradually were out of print. I have the above title out of his books and would be glad to share it with you. The book is some 2.5 MB on disc and as such cannot be sent via email. Anybody wishing to get everything FORMATTED and PAGED can just send me a PM so that we can arrange on how to chat via MSN or Yahoo that the book can be effectively transfered to him/her.
The other book, The Thirtteenth Tribe is from an Ashkenazi Jew who thought it expedient to tell the world the truth about the Eastern Jews who are now terrorizing the world in the name of Zionism and return to the promised land that is never their's never has been and never will be.
Arthur Koestler and his wife were killed in cold blood in 1983 at the height of the controversy ensuing from his "unveiling".
My beloved brothers, I am sure these two books will immensely help your minds in comprehending the many complex things we say here about secularism, materialism, irreligion and above all, the demagoguery that is guising today as the only truth about the world politics.
Thank you once again.
Keep da date wid us at K-online.
And we will Insha Allah refresh, reframe and rebuild your mind for a right living in this temporary abode called world.
Ibraheem A. Waziri

At the risk of being labelled a spoiler, I find this issue about Jews and their deceit, arrogance, crimes and folly very untopical. I mean do we need an Ashkenazim jew to tell us that Jews, be it from Eastern Europe or the Middle East, are what they are: maniacal usurpers?
Hasn't Allah made it clear in the Quran that Jews are hypocrates, prophet killers and in constant defiance of his divinity/guidance? To me, using evidence from non Islamic sources signals a kind of 'even-them-say-it' attitude. It like trying to prove that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is indeed a messanger of God using disputed gospels of Christianity (Saint Barnabas' gospel to be exact).
The mission of prophet and the treachery of the Jews is well said in the Quran. We need not look further.
That is that.
We need to concentrate more on the issues at home. Issues such as the president's dictatorial disposition, fuel price hike, corruption, power outages, sharia etc.
That is what we experience everyday and that is what we should talk about. For all I care Koestler's book is a fabrication just like the protocols of elder Zion. Not that what is talked about in the books are untrue.
May Allah save us from the treachery of the Jews and their allies........... amin.
Quote from: "myadudu"salam
At the risk of being labelled a spoiler, .
I cudnt help but laff........well if ppl labell u dat way.....pay dem no mind.
For dis topic.........its interestin.
myadudu, I really did not expect that from you for it is a common knowledge to every Muslim that the first commandment to the Prophet of Islam was ?Read!!!? therefore, it is obvious that what we are doing here is in direct provision to the first commandment of the Qur?an. Since Qur?an does not prescribe limit to what should be read.
Add to this also, is the affirmation of Allah in the Qur?an that those who revere him most among His servants are the most knowledgeable. When we also consider the saying of the Holy Prophet: Al Hikmatu Dalatul Mu?min , Ayna ma Wajadaha Akhazaha meaning, Wisdom is a stray camel of the faithful where ever they find it they hold it, you will see that ours is perhaps the best exercise any Muslim can undertake.
When Arthur Koestler wrote about the treachery of the Khazar Jews, aint he worth reading and digesting by us for the consolidation of our faith in the Qur?an, which says they are treacherous? Or do you suggest that since Qur?an says human embryo changes at the 39th to 41st dates then we should just ignore the reading of the scientific findings of Prof. Keith Moore, the leading embryologist of his time, who researched the subject matter and brought about empirical solid evidence, in 1994, in support of Qur?anic claims?
I really do not think you would suggest us to stop looking at the issue of the relationship of human heart and decision making scientifically even when we cannot find scientific evidences in support of the claims of the Qur?an that heart is the ultimate decision maker in human beings not their brains.
Ok. You claim The Thirteenth Tribe is a fabrication just like the Protocols of The Learned Elders Of Zion even though you did not demonstrate even a skewed knowledge of the contents of Koestlers?.
I pray you should have considered first the fact that Arthur Koestler is real and well known in the intellectual circle as the Author of many novels unlike the authors of the Protocols who are not known in anyway. While Arthur Koestler in his discourse validated his postulations with many reference materials and factual realities the Protocols do not carry any such reference in any way. Though this does not necessarily mean that The Protocols are not true but it means there is no any basis on which you can compare the two.
Another thing also is we are not reading Arthur Koestler just for the simple reason that he is one of them but because of the founding logic on which he built his premise and when you have somebody giving witness against himself with such ground breaking evidences every court of law will take it to be the Maxima-Opus.
Nay, we cannot confine ourselves to Nigeria and those events that affect it at the expense of those things that affect the generality of humankind since Nigeria is only a name given to a geography with no any valuable attribute than just a nation that is not even older than many uncles I have today.
Yes, my uncles were there and very happy when Nigeria was not imagined and I believe we will survive happily when we today decide to expand Nigeria to comprise all other territories of the world or reduce it to only an Igbo state in the name of Biafara. You will see that life will continue and our fight on the Platform of the ideas expressed in The Thirteenth Tribe will continue. They are what are eternal to us not Nigeria.
And believe you me sincerely it is those youths among Nigerians that can discuss ideas that have the potential of changing the course of events in Nigeria and other parts of the world, not those who discuss events only after they have happened reducing their activities to only what can be called ?Ihu Bayan Hari?. It is better to discuss IMF and its mechanism of influencing Nigerian leaders, not discuss African leaders when they have already succumbed to the overwhelming influence of IMF.
Mayadudu this is what we are trying to do around here. We are human beings first with brothers any where across the globe not Nigerians only who are members of a geography that we are likely to outlive someday.
For Eskimo, Indabawa, Nuruddeen, dan kauye and Ummita, I say my thanks again. We can carry on the discourse if we wish.
For Myadudu, I remain most grateful and duty bound to remember those excellent points you made several times in the course of our intercourse on this board for nearly two years.
Yours in brotherhood
Ibraheem A.Waziri
Salam
Yallabai waziri your points are well taken. But I believe your premise is wrong in assuming my argument is against all forms of reading. As can you attest yourself, reading pornographic magazines is not what Allah commanded us to do in the sura you quoted.
I am not trying to trivialize the issue but the truth is, there are things which we must, by Allah's commandments, read and others which we must avoid at all times. For example, Salman Rushdie's book could be one of them to avoid because it is intellectual pornography . Question is, what qualifies as 'intellectual pornography' and what does not? I really cannot say. The difference therein makes the separation of what to read and what not to read.
Having said that, I guess the main thrust of my argument is for reading Allah's book, the holy Quran, to decipher things which Keith Moore, Maurice Bucaille, Harun Yahya, and many others are writing about. Why? because it is only the Quran that is authentic and without errors.
There is one thing I would like to make clear. A thing that is 'fabricated' might infact be 'factual' (excuse my orwellian language and also take into account the context). For example, law enforcement officers 'fabricate' evidence in the hope 'deceiving' criminals into confessing what the officer 'fabricate' to convict a suspect. Mind you the deception here was not to make the criminal own what he had not done, no, just to disorient him into believing that the officers knew what the criminal thought they did not know. It is a complex pyscho-legal procedure and I need not go into detail here.....
True I have not read Koestlers book nor do I know who he is yet I called the book a fabrication. Why? because that's what I was told and I believed it. What I voiced was my opinion which is obviously NOT a fact.
I am in agreement with you in matters of scientific/modern knowledge. learning is a must to fullfil (sic???) Allah's command.
Also, I still believe we are obligated to think locally and act locally in terms of our predicaments. Yes, Muslims are suffering in other parts of the world but so are the Muslims at Yelwa and Numan. We must right the wrongs in Nigeria before trying to help the Palestinians or Kashmiri's right their wrongs.
In ending, ina jin baka fahimci argument dinaba. I am not against reading Koestler's book only that when there is a superior source, like the Quran or Hadith, then we must, as a matter or principle, make sure we mention that first. Nayi ammana cewa we are on the same wave length se dai, akwai abubuwan da muke gani daban.
And that my learned senior is why Islam is great and why I chose it as my religion.
Allah yabamu alherinsa....... amin.
Waziri and myadudu,
In all honesty i did not see any reason why we should trivialise our discourse at this juncture.
Brother Waziri has brilliantly postulated the indispensibility of seeking knowledge, from Islamic perspective.
To brother myadudu,i think it wil be an "intellectual suicide" for a Muslim to localise his intellectual franchise.It is indeed Islam, that prompted mankind to expand his search for knowledge to the outer space.
In addition,a Muslim is expected to always be an embodment of sakafa-that sophistication and right disposition to general worldview.
All the same, we shall continue with our studies, and i hope myadudu will also request for a copy of Kroesler, so as to enable him join us later at the market place!
salam
Indabawa agaisheka.Kafin na manta, are you by any chance the Biology lecturer in BUK because I was student of wani mallami Indabawa a BUK.
I dont know how to approach this. I really cannot believe, that somehow you believe that I believe knowledge other than Islamic knowledge is un important. I have not said that nor I am saying that now.
Also, I dont get what you mean by saying "........i did not see any reason why we should trivialise our discourse at this juncture"? You see, my understanding is that Waziri misunderstood my argument as to the prioritization of Islamic scripture over other writings. My intention, from the outset, was to point out that Koestler's assertion, which i inferred to be an indictment of the Jews and their antics, are nothing new. Allah's book, Quranul-Kareem has already enlightened us on those issues.
Going on, it is true that one will commit 'intellectual suicide' by localising his intellectual franchise. What I will however take issue with is the definition of 'local'. In no place and at no time did i canvass the exclusion of other relevant studies of human endeavour. I said in my latest post that " I am in agreement with you (waziri) in matters of scientific/modern knowledge. learning is a must to fullfil (sic???) Allah's commands" I am sure this will clear up your worries vis-a-vis my'localisation-of-knowledge' mentality. Note also: its is for my penchant for 'sakafa' that I am now studying electrical engineering at the university level.
Like Waziri before you, our argument stem more from the 'presumption-of-what-i-meant' rather than substance of what i wrote. Perhaps I am wrong, which I am often.
As for Koestler's book, i think i am better off reading the 'Da vinci code', which, by the way, I recommend everyone read.
As always, thanks for your time and Allah ya karawa annabi daraja
amin
bissalam
Ok, thanks to you all , Indabawa and Myadudu,
But as you can see Amin, hardly a reader of your earlier post will restrain himself from viewing your argument the way Indabawa and myself did. But anyway, I think we have all made some reasonable points. I also think the reading of Koestler is important for you too since it gives a good paradigm for a 21st century reading of world politics which Nigeria daily fits into.
Concerning the other book you urge us to read I pray you please provide us with some imformation on how to get across to it or if you wouldn't mind with a little review that we may have a complete idea of its content and why we need to read it.
Concerning the Muslims in Yelwan Shendam, I think we discussed their plight in exhaustively on board here.
My problem with discussing events that happen in Negeria is many things that you here about many policies in the coutry do not reflect truly what is happening. It is always after the passing of an administration that we get to know what actually happen. This plus the fact that policy makers down here hardly listen to advices and as such I always prefer action than just discussing the politics. Therefore when I finish organising MY CONFERENCE I will put up an invitation here for you and others to attend and participate in the Politicking process of the present that will surely affect our future.
Thank you once again
myadudu,
Thank you for your interest and your clarification on both"localisation of knowledge" and 'intellectual suicide' which has been well noted.
Meanwhile,could you also tow the line of Khalil by obliging me with a copy of your "Da vinci code".
By the way i am sorry to tell you that iam not the Indabawa you were referring, but i assure you he is a brother.
Thanks and Bissalam.

But, you can follow this link for more info: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0385504209/104-0501123-1200733?v=glance
You will enjoy it.
myadudu,
Nagode for your response.
Allah ya bar zumunci.
Amin I sure now you can vividly see the difference between your Da Vinci Code which is more of a fictional account of history than a subtantial claim of its undertones as contained in the Thirteenth Tribe. From a point of view of serious discussion this Code can never be recommended for everybody's reading according to Islamic ethics of discourse. It is just a triviality.
Yet I do not in anyway feel I must condemn its reading by any body who feels he needs to read it. But where Amin went absolutely wrong in this is when he attempted choosing for k-onliners what to discuss or read with his overt condemnation of the content of the books we gave. Our conviction is so far as people are not using banal and abusive languages and are engaging in fruitlful and beneficial interactions without seeking to humiliate other onliners, discussions are allowed.
One thing I bitterly realised in my several years of interactions with other selves is they do not necessary like what I like. But I have for all this period learnt to bear with them and accomodate them the way they are as they try accomodating me the way I am. I only get crossed when I smell confrontation without strong base.
Mallam Waziri Assalaam Alaikum!
Suna na Dan-Sokoto. Don Allah ina son wadannan books. e-address nawa shi ne dansakkwato@yahoo.com

I only hope, i am not late in my request?
Dan-Sokoto
Gaskiya Dan-Sokoto I find it very difficult to believe myself forgiving you. How could you just leave us without notice for this long time????? By Go you broke many hearts around here including my fragile one.
For the books I will send them across. The location I am now doesn't carry them. But surely before tomorrow ends I will send them.

Salam
Yallabai waziri I have one word to summarise my exit from this debate and it is TRUCE. Kokuma kamar yadda mu yan kano mukecewa, not sure of how you Zazzagawa say it, NA SALLATA.
a huta lafiya....
Assalaam Waziri!
I am highly flattered by your warm comments and maraba after my un-aviodable absence for so long a period. Wallahi it was not deliberate but due to circumstances beyond my control. But like i had cause to explain in one segment of the forum, my heart was always with you guys, and from time to time, i kept abreast of the going ons in the forum, and it was encouraging.
Thanks for the books. If you could get them across to ADMIN, i would surely get them. And for admin - please, when you get the books, kindly place them in my mail box at your headquarters for me to pick. I am saying this with all sense of responsibility, hoping that by now, there is a KANOONLINE dedicated headquarters some-where in Kano city with all our names written in gold.
Waziri, i will try not to keep away for a long time again, though my contributions will be minimal due to obvious constraints, which i will explain to you in due course when i visit you at ABU Zaria. As insha allah, i intend to leave my base here in sokoto birnin shehu one of these days and take a trip to kano to see all the kanawas on this forum in particular mr. admin. In that regard, you know i cannot ignore the noble zagezagis of zaria.
Haza Wassalaam!
Dan-Sokoto
Ok Dan-Sokoto ai shikenan, babu matsala. The books are electronic books, I have already sent them to your mail box.
Actually circumstances have a good degree of influence in our life. Some scholars of philosophies like Herbert Spencer believe, circumtances are even greater than individuals. In a sense they have greater capacity to make things happen than individual human beings. As such I really can understand why you can be this absent for long. But since you are together with us always in the spirit, you are with us in the highest form.
You can just email me whenever you are coming around, then we can arrange for a meeting.
Thank you once again.
Waziri
