ROBBING THE POOR the attack on Muslim Charities by Sakeena Mirza and Ameena Qazi
U
Raising funds is no easy task. In a post-9-11 America, it gets even harder for U.S.-based Muslim charities to continue their efforts. While Ramadan, 1422 (NovemberDecember, 2001), was the most lucrative month in years for American Muslim charities, several million dollars will never reach the hungry for which they were intended; the money has been frozen where it sits in U.S. banks in the government's latest attempt at cracking down on terrorism. Closures and Accusations On December 4, 2001, President George W. Bush issued an executive order, using his extended powers under the U.S. Patriot Act, to freeze all assets, close all offices, and confiscate all documents and records of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), the largest Muslim charity in the United States. Along with al-Aqsa Islamic Bank and Beit el-Mai Holdings, HLF was named one of a number of "Specially Designated Global Terrorists" by the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). In a press release on the day of the closure, Under Secretary of the Treasury, John Taylor justified the closure by labeling HLF and the other charities "three Hamas-controlled organizations that finance terror." Specifically regarding Holy Land, he added that it "masquerades as a charity while its primary purpose is to fund Hamas." While no specific charges have ever been presented to HLF officials or revealed to the general public, shortly after the closure the FBI released an unofficial 49-page "memo" to the media listing numerous allegations against HLF. This memo constituted the bulk of the information reported in the media, but many doubt the authenticity and reliability of such a memo. "Much of the information in this memo was supplied by Israeli intelligence through interrogations of detained Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza," explained HLF board member Riad Abdelkarim.

STAMMER BODY: With Labor Day approaching Sept. 6, unions and religious groups are underscoring their common ground on issues of social and economic justice. Known as "Labor in the Pulpit," their program was launched three years ago by the AFL-CIO and the National Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice, a nonprofit group of religious leaders. More than 400 services were held last year, the union said. At least as many are planned this year, including some in Southern California. Los Angeles religious leaders such as Episcopal Bishop Frederick H. Borsch have been known for practicing what they preach. For example, they have joined with labor unions in campaigning for contracts for hotel workers and an ordinance requiring Los Angeles city contractors to pay their workers a "living wage." Meanwhile, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Los Angeles, said that despite a healthy economy, the gap in family income continues to widen. He called for "a strong, active, democratic labor movement." "Many of the values embedded in the labor movement's search for social justice reflect our own faith values," Mahony said, speaking for the nation's Catholic bishops as chairman of the U.S. Catholic Conference's Domestic Policy Committee. "We seek public policies that protect and promote strong families, expand a stable middle class, create decent jobs, and reduce the level of poverty and need in our society," he said. EVENTS The 25th anniversary of an Evangelical Lutheran gay and lesbian ministry, Lutherans Concerned, will be celebrated at 7 p.m. Sept. 10 at Hollywood Lutheran Church, 1733 N. New Hampshire Ave. in Los Feliz. The Rev. Paul W. Egertson, bishop of Southern California's West Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, will preach.

JEDDAH, 27 March — The Director of the Saudi AI-Haramain Charitable Foundation in Somalia, Al-Zayid Omer Idris Shami, has said that his office will continue to carry out its humanitarian activities in the poor African nation, denying that his office is involved in any illegal activities The United States recently froze the assets of AI-Haramain Charitable Foundation's two offices in Somalia and Bosnia, accusing the charity of funding terrorist organizations — including AI-Qaeda and its alleged local cells in Somalia. "Washington acted on inaccurate information about the activities of AI-Haramain. We will continue to serve needy people," Shami said in a press release, which Arab News received yesterday. "AI-Haramain takes care of more than 3,000 orphans, finances over 100 schools and distributes thousands of tons of foodstuffs annually," the statement continued. Somalia's socio-economic infrastructure, including all government buildings, libraries, schools, universities and hospitals, have been destroyed or looted during the ongoing civil war. Law and order has also collapsed, while an estimated one miiiion people are either displaced within the country or have sought refuge abroad, "for the last 11 years of anarchy and civil strife, Arab and Islamic nongovernmental organizations have focused on providing us humanitarian assistance," Ahmed Muhammad Mahmoud, a teacher at an Arab NGO-funded secondary school in Mogadishu, told Arab News by telephone. He added that AI-Haramain foundation is one of the largest aid groups in the country. "The IMGOs have invested in a series of important welfare projects, such as orphanages and schools. The most useful projects are the renovation of schools and the payment of teachers' salaries," he added. "Now children at all levels get a basic of education." Mahmoud said most Somalis have expressed their surprise at the US decision to freeze the assets of the AI-Haramain's local office.

t 'f *'; Islam is not a new religion. It is the same truth that God revealed to all His prophets throughout history. Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy and forgiveness that should not be associated with acts of violence against the innocent.
Who are Muslims and what do they believe? There are an estimated 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide. No more than 20 percent of Muslims live in the Arabic-speaking world. The country with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia. Muslims believe in One, Unique, and Incomparable God. They believe in the Day of Judgment and individual accountability for actions. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets beginning with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus. God's eternal message was reaffirmed and finalized by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be on them all). One becomes a Muslim by saying, 'There is no deity but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God." By this declaration, the" person announces faith in all of God's messengers.
