International Union for Muslim Scholars Say Arab
States Alliances With Israel ‘Forbidden
News Service
November 27, 2021
The International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS) on
Saturday said it considered alliances between some Arab states and Israel as
“forbidden”.
The Union affirms that what some countries, such as
the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Morocco, have committed to indulging in
alliances and practical steps with the occupying Zionist entity is a condemned
and forbidden act," the IUMS said in a statement.
Last week, Morocco signed defense agreements with
Israel during a visit by Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz to the North
African country.
Gantz and his counterpart Abdellatif Loudiyi agreed on
military cooperation and signed a "pioneering defense memorandum of
understanding” as well as Morocco’s purchase of Israeli drones and
"advanced weapons" systems.
Israel has also concluded several agreements with the
UAE in various fields since the signing of an agreement to normalize relations
between the two sides in Washington in mid-September 2020.
The IUMS affirmed its permanent support for Palestine,
Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa Mosque and noted that normalization with Israel is
forbidden and represents a "betrayal" of the Palestinian cause.
On Dec. 10, 2020, Israel and Morocco announced the
resumption of diplomatic relations that were suspended in 2002, making Morocco
the fourth Arab country to normalize relations with Israel in 2020 after the
UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan.

Pakistan Supreme Court Sounds Alarm Over Child
Pornography, Calls It The Most Alarming Social Evil
Federal authorities released
this sanitized screen grab of an underground child pornography website that was
run on The Onion Router or Tor network. Agents dismantled the child
exploitation ring and arrested 14 men. (ICE)
-----
Nasir Iqbal
November 28, 2021
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Saturday deplored that
the most alarming social evil is child pornography that has wreaked havoc and
poses a great threat to morality as well as the future of children.
“One of the reasons for the rise of child abuse/rape
cases is squarely child pornographic content,” regretted Justice Sayyed Mazahar
Ali Akbar Naqvi in a judgement he wrote.
A two-judge Supreme Court bench comprising Justice
Maqbool Baqar and Justice Naqvi had taken up an appeal of Umer Khan against the
rejection of his bail application by the Peshawar High Court. The petitioner
had sought post-arrest bail in a case registered against him under Section
22(1) of Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 at a cyber crime reporting
centre in Abbottabad.
Khan faces charges of sharing child pornographic content
on social networking website Facebook. On receiving information from the
website, the matter was inquired into by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)
and subsequently a first information report was registered and the petitioner
arrested.
In his judgement, Justice Naqvi observed that there
are concerns regarding child sexual abuse and exploitation in the past too, but
due to various factors, the gravity and impact of the offence of child
pornography is increasing at an alarming rate and this menace needs to be
curbed with an iron fist.
Although the offence the petitioner had been charged
with did not fall into the prohibitory clause of Section 497 of CrPC and the
maximum punishment for the same is seven years, the nature of the accusation,
its impact on society and the material collected so far merit the case to be
included within the exception of granting bail when the offence falls within
the non-prohibitory clause, the judgement explained.
It regretted that it is yet to be determined since
when was the petitioner involved in spreading child pornography and how many
videos he had shared so far. In any case, it added, it is a crime to “hollow
out society”, therefore, the argument of the petitioner’s counsel was of no
help. Even otherwise, this petition is barred by three days and no plausible
explanation for the condonation of the delay has been given, the judgement
said.
Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal with a
directive to the trial court to proceed expeditiously and conclude the case as
early as possible.

Islamic Emirate PM: Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
Seeks Good Intl Relations With All
The Islamic Emirate Prime
Minister Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund
-----
By Rajab Taieb
27-11-2021
The Islamic Emirate Prime Minister Mullah Mohammad
Hassan Akhund's first public speech was aired on Saturday evening. It was
broadcast on public television but with an audio message only.
Hassan Akhund covered a range of issues including the
Taliban’s fight against the US, the poverty in the country, security issues and
Afghanistan’s relations with regional and world countries.
Pointing to the current economic and financial
problems, he said the economic challenges existed even before the Islamic
Emirate. He added that if Afghanistan’s central bank assets are released, the
economic problems will be resolved.
The prime minister said the Islamic Emirate wants to
have good relations with all the countries and have economic relations with
them. He said the Islamic Emirate will not interfere in any country’s internal
affairs.
Pointing to the security situation, Prime Minister
Akhund said he received reports that some people enter people's houses and
create disorder. He said those people do not belong to the Islamic Emirate and
called on the authorities to stop such activities in the country.
On women’s rights and girls’ education, he said the
Islamic Emirate has given the women their rights, adding that they are working
to improve the situation for girls’ education.
He also said the current government is more inclusive
than the former government, saying that in the former government the power was
in the hands of a limited number of individuals.

Jaish al-Islam Militants Seized Agricultural Land,
Olive Trees, And Houses Belonging To Afrin People
Nov 27, 2021
Aleppo governorate: SOHR activists have reported that
Jaish al-Islam faction has seized by force of arms agricultural land, olive
trees, and houses belonging to Afrin people forcibly displaced by “Olive
branch” operation.
Furthermore, “Jaish al-Islam” militants have cancelled
hundreds of powers of attorney issued by local councils that authorized their
owner to make decisions about the property of his forcibly displaced relatives.
“Jaish al-Islam” faction has also seized their properties and has offered them
to the families of its members by force of arms. This faction has canceled the
powers of attorney on the pretext that their owners were supporters of
“autonomous- administration.”
In the line of ongoing violations by Turkey-backed
faction “National Army”, Malik Shah faction has issued a resolution called ” settlement
of status ” for the residents in Koblek village in Sharan district. Under this
new resolution, each person will pay ransoms for the faction. The ransoms for

Wuriyanga Mud Mosque And Mystery Tree Beside The
Mosque ; 200 Years Old But Still Standing For Allah
An aerial view of the
ancient Wuriyanga mud mosque
-----
Nov - 27 - 2021
Wuriyanga, a farming community in the Tempane District
in the Upper East Region, is arguably one of the unique communities in the
country. This is because it is home to an ancient mud mosque built about 200
years ago and a tall mysterious tree beside the mosque as old as the structure
itself.
Although no specific date has been given or recorded,
it is believed two centuries ago, an Islamic Leader and a Mossi by tribe, Imam
Shehu Ahmed, who built the mud mosque, migrated from Burkina Faso and settled
in the community.
He built the mosque purposely to help propagate the
Islamic religion and to ensure that the teachings of the Quran was effectively
spread among the people. But prior to its completion, the Islamic leader held
teachings for the congregation in the open under a scorching sun as there was
no tree or shelter to provide shade for the people.
According to oral history, as narrated by a member of
the Maintenance Committee of the ancient mosque, Mr Mohammed Imam Hamid, the
Islamic Leader, Imam Ahmed, had a walking stick believed to be about 25 years
old.
According to the narrator (Hamid), one day, the
Islamic leader planted his walking stick in the ground and prayed to Allah for
it to grow into a tree to provide a shade for the congregation pending the
completion of the mud mosque.
Based on his faith in Allah, the Islamic leader
started watering the walking stick. To the surprise of many people in the
community, the walking stick started growing into a tall tree beside the
mosque, which provided the needed shade for the congregation.
Till date, no one is allowed to prune the tree because
the narrator explained that the tree had been shedding off its leaves, as well
as its weak branches on its own. All the successors to the Islamic leader have
over the years ensured that the tree is never cut down.
“No one has ever touched this tree because it prunes
itself; and that is the walking stick of Imam Ahmed, the first person to build
this ancient mosque,” the narrator further stated.
The current Imam of the mosque, Alhaji Shaban Sheikh
Ahmed, and his Deputy, Alhaji Mahamud Sheikh Osman, both octogenarians, shared
their experiences with the Daily Graphic.
They, however, stated that they were both born in the
community and grew up to see the mosque already built. They said that there
were five late Imams who were in charge of the mosque leading prayers.
Alhaji Ahmed further said “we grew up and saw this
great mosque and we the current Imams are about 85 years old now; we can only
testify to what we have seen and our forebears have done well to maintain this
ancient mosque for posterity."
They indicated that there was no literature on the
ancient mud mosque except the oral history and stories they were told by their
ancestors from generation to generation.
The two Imams and the maintenance committee member all
acknowledged that “anybody who comes to this ancient mud mosque with very
sincere intention to pray gets whatever he or she wants in life from
Allah."
While they were narrating the spiritual significance
of visiting the mud mosque, the maintenance committee member brought out some
ancient parts of the mosque. They included a white cloth neatly folded and put
into a small bag.
The white cloth is used for spiritual prayers which
the Imams believe brings rapid results. The two Imams also brought out some old
pictures of their forefathers who were Imams and are dead.
Interestingly, three things immediately stand out when
you see the Wuriyanga mud Mosque: it is not whitewashed, it only has one tower,
and it has no exterior buttresses. There is also no stairwell leading to the
roof.
Instead, an opening in the parapet on the west side
allows a ladder to be used for roof access. There are also old aluminium
roofing sheets tucked into the roofline to ensure that rain water from the roof
does not damage the walls. In other places with similar building styles,
ceramic pipes are rather used for that purpose.
Like other mosques in the Northern and Savannah
regions of Ghana, the Wuriyanga Mosque is built in the traditional Djenné
architectural style, using local materials and construction techniques.
Djenné is a town and an urban community in the Inland
Niger Delta region of central Mali, famous for its Sudanese-style architecture.
Another feature of the mud mosque is that its flat
roof is supported by very thick load-bearing walls and many columns on the
interior. The building is rectangular in shape.
Today, the Wuriyanga Ancient Mosque is still standing
despite its age and in active use by the community. It can accommodate 150
Muslims at a time for prayers.
For Jum’ah (Friday prayer) and Khutba (sermon) at 1:30
p.m., men gather there to pray and hear the Imam’s Khutba while the women
gather in and around the mud mosque.
In the mosque, there are two coffins for burial
purposes while there are a number of moulded mud blocks to be used for
renovation purposes.
Unfortunately, some cracks are beginning to develop on
some parts of the building, particularly around the minaret area (a slender
tower, typically part of a mosque, with a balcony from which a muezzin calls
Muslims to prayer).
Some of the elders in the community, including the two
Imams, have pointed out the need for the old mosque to be preserved. They
expressed regret that although a number of tourists and visitors had been
trooping to the mosque, little was being done about supporting the community to
maintain the mosque for posterity.
Figures made available by the maintenance committee of
the mosque indicate that on the average, four tourists visit the mosque
annually.
Mr Hamid on behalf of the Muslim community and the two
Imams, therefore, appealed to the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture,
investors and tourists to help maintain the mud mosque, as a way of developing
religious tourism in the area and the country as a whole.
He called for a mausoleum, an Islamic education unit,
and expansion of the mud mosque to accommodate more women during prayers.
Furthermore, he appealed for a borehole and toilet
facilities to be provided to make the Muslim congregation comfortable whenever
they visited the mud mosque for prayers.

Paris exhibition explores Jewish history in Middle

Anew exhibition at the Institut du Monde Arabe in
Paris explores Jewish history in the Middle East and North Africa, from
antiquity to the present day.
Jews of the East (Juifs d'Orient: Une Histoire
Plurimillenaire) is the largest exhibition of its kind to date, and is the
first comprehensive show on Jewish history to be held at a cultural institution
devoted to the Arab world. French President Emmanuel Macron attended the show's
inauguration on Monday, praising its “journey across time and space”.

exhibition at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris on November 22, ahead of its

For more than three millennia, Jewish communities have
coexisted with the region’s pre-Islamic societies and Islamic dynasties. “The
ancient Jewish presence across the region is spectacular,” says historian
Benjamin Stora, the exhibition’s curator and author of 2017 book Juifs,
Musulmans: La Grande Separation (Jews, Muslims: the Great Divide). "There
are early synagogues from Syria and an age-old presence in Saudi Arabia. I was
surprised by the depth of this history."

Polish Muslims bring aid to desperate migrants stuck
on the border
Paul Peachey
Nov 28, 2021
Muslims in the Polish border village of Bohoniki have
already held four funerals for migrants who died trying to cross the fortified
frontier from neighbouring Belarus and fear more will follow as snow falls on
its silent hillside graveyard.
As the security forces play a daily game of
cat-and-mouse with desperate migrants in the freezing forests, members of the
tiny Tatar community of eastern Poland have helped take food and clothing to
fellow Muslims in need.
But the banner hanging outside the village’s mosque
also expresses full support for the work of the military, highlighting the
competing emotions of the 2,000-strong Tatar population who combine adherence
to their religion and sympathy for the newcomers with a strong loyalty to
Poland.
Bohoniki has one of the two mosques that survived
wars, repression and regime change in eastern Poland during the 20th century.
The region is the stronghold of one of the oldest Muslim communities in Europe.

High Commission explains months-long wait to renew

‘Jihad Squad’ comment
By JAMES ANDERSON
27 November 2021
DENVER (AP) — United States House Representative Ilhan
Omar of Minnesota, a Democrat, called Friday for House leaders to take
“appropriate action” against Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert
for using anti-Muslim language in describing a recent encounter she had with
Omar at the US Capitol.
According to a video clip posted by a Twitter account
called PatriotTakes, Boebert made the remarks this holiday break. In it, she
says she and a staffer were taking a Capitol elevator when she saw an alarmed
Capitol police officer running toward them. She said she turned to her left and
spotted Omar standing beside them.
