British Muslim
International Islamic
conference for next week

of the 21 st century, has attracted
various academic scholars from
the three East African states. It will
be opened on Wednesday by the
deputy chancellor Olive Mugenda.
The conference will be held under
the auspices of the Universitys
department of Philosophy and
Religious studies.
Among the speakers will be the
vice rector Islamic University in
Uganda Prof Ahmad Sengendo,
Suleiman Seif Salim from the
Muslim University of Morogoro, Prof
Adam of Nairobi University and Ali
Sunkar from Zanzibar University.
Topics to be discussed include
Islam and social change in East
Africa, challenges of the war on
terror, the place of the Kadhi courts
and Globalisation among others.

Mbale Masjid finally

completed
Muslims of Mbale in Vihiga district
have a cause to smile after the area
masjid which had stalled for more
than a decade was finally
completed.
Maahad Dawah Organisation
(MDO), a Nairobi based NGO took
the mantle to complete the
construction of the masjid which
stalled due to financial constraints.
Rehabilitation of the Mbale Jamia
masjid which stands along the
Kisumu-Kakamega road began last
year after MDO stepped.
More than Sh1.2 million was spent
on the rehabilitation.
The masjid was opened at the
weekend at the ceremony where
the Kadhi of Nyanza Sheikh Rashid
Ali was the chief guest. Sheikh Abu
Hamza, the Imam of Sparki Masjid
in Mombasa was also present.

Human rights groups have poured scorn at the government for what they said was its
persistent campaign to harass and intimidate Muslims on the allegation of involvement in
terrorism activities.
Deploring the human rights violations, they said the government had a moral duty to respect
the constitution and safeguarding the sovereignty of the country.
The Kenya Human Rights Network (K-Hurinet) urged the government to disassociate all
religious activism from terrorism where Muslims are taken to be terrorists.
We are questioning the logic as to why terrorism has been linked only to the Islamic religion
and the assumption that every Muslim is a terrorist, said Stephen Musau the executive
director of Release Political Prisoners (RPP).
Musau was speaking in reaction to last weeks arrest in Mombasa of a British preacher of
Nigerian origin Ismoila Olatunde Rufai. The preacher who was in the country to visit his
family was later unceremoniously deported as a security threat to the country. He denied the
allegations.
They stressed that the preacher who was legally in the country was treated and deplored his
treatment which they said was done without any recourse to the laws of the country.
After his arrest at his Tononoka home, he was held incommunicado, denied access to
lawyer and relatives and detained in a toilet at the port police station in Mombasa. This
culture of impunity is being used to enhance the abuse of human rights and the government
officials are betraying the cause of justice, Musau told a media conference at a Nairobi hotel
on Tuesday.
He went on to dismiss the assertions by the Government spokesman Dr Alfred Mutua
allegation that the passports confiscated from the preacher were of fake and of different
nationalities and said the allegations were only aimed at portraying him as a dangerous
terrorist. The 7 passports included 5 passports for his children, his personal and one for
his dear wife, he clarified.
Musau also urged MPs to resist moves to enact the Terrorism Bill and said the attempts to
link Muslims to terrorism were being made to influence Kenyans in accepting the draconian
legislation.
Musau was accompanied by other members of the network who included Ndungu Wainaina
from National Consultative Executive Committee (NCEC) and Al-Amin Kimathi from the Muslim
Human Rights Forum among others.
After his arrest in the wee hours of the morning, he was bundled in a Landover and in an
operation which brings bitter memories of the transport of Guantanamo detainees, his hand
and legs were shacked during the 500 kilometres journey to Nairobi.
Interestingly, though his case right from the start was handled by the anti-terrorist police unit,
the government claimed that his arrest was a purely an immigration issue and he was not
linked to any terrorist activity.
He was deported midnight on Sunday aboard a Kenya airways plane flight 102.
His deportation, a copy of which The Friday Bulletin saw was signed by the minister of state
for immigration Gideon Konchella and dated July 17, two days before his arrest. It read in
part, Ismail Olatonda Rufai is for all purposes of the immigration Act, a member of the
prohibited class and a prohibited immigrant.
In a related incident, an Imam was on Sunday last week detained at Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport for what officials later claimed was an anomaly in his passport file.
Rasaam Ahmed Swaleh was arrested while on his way to the United Arab Emirates after
visiting his family in the country.

US rushes laser-guided bombs to Israel

The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which

requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against the
Lebanese resistance movement Hizbullah, The New York Times revealed on Saturday, July
22.
Citing US officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, the Times said the decision to ship
the weapons quickly came after relatively little debate within the administration.
The arms shipment has not been announced publicly. The officials who described the
administrations decision to rush the munitions included employees of two government

Another case of the flawed system of justice

The ugly head of terror has reared its mark again. The deplorable
incidents of intimidation and harassment of Muslims seems to
have no end in sight even after none other than President Mwai
Kibaki himself pledged on several occasions that these wanton
violations of human rights would be relegated to the annals of
history.
Any slight suspicion of involvement in so-called terrorist activities
has seen Muslims being rounded up and subjected to brutal
treatments only to be released without any charge or deported
in the name of threats to State security. The hundreds of arrests
so far carried out in the last three years, not a single individual
has been incriminated with the alleged crime.
Kenyans were outraged when the infamous Artur brothers in a
major security scare drew guns at one of the most sensitive
national institutions Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The
pair was later found with a deadly arsenal of highly
sophisticated guns, akin to those used by the elite
Presidential guard, fake documents and other
paraphernalia all bearing the hallmarks of terrorist gears.
These people had earlier presented themselves as devout
Christians being seen going to churches and golden crucifixes
on their chests were clearly displayed to whoever cared to see.
Yet despite their underground dealings, no mention of any
terrorism linkage came to the fore nor was their faith linked to
terrorism. Their associates and churches were not even a
subject of investigations. The Anti-Terrorism Police Unit was no
where in sight to scrutinise their dubious and dangerous
activities.
If the same individuals were Muslims, then as one commentator
put it, they would have been shot on the spot. Institutions and
individuals deemed to be associated with the pair would now
be under the spot light.
Similar nerve wrecking incidents have happened in the past
without much ado simply because those involved were nonMuslims. A few years ago a University of Nairobi student was

found with a cache of arms in his room and only a few weeks
ago, dangerous explosives enough to bring down a multi storeyed
building were discovered in one of Nairobis suburbs. Had those
involved happen to be professing the Muslim faith, the ATPU would
have won accolades for superb job well done.
For its dedicated role to hunt down Muslims, the ATPU should
take on another identity, the Anti-Muslim Police Unit. In order to
get the much-needed donor financing, it is now manufacturing
terrorists were there are none and its victims are none other than
Muslims.
The media without verifying the facts, have also fallen prey to the
conspiracy game demonising Muslims as terrorists. Reports
carried last Saturday by Taifa Leo and KTN that deported British
preacher Ismail Rufai was an agent of Usama bin Ladin and a
suspect in the Mumbai bombings respectively, were a gross
miscarriage of responsible journalism. Despite the police
refuting the claims, the message has already sunk deep
into the minds of the population; Kenya harbours terrorists
(read Muslims).
There is a multitude of foreign Christian missionaries some
working in the remotest parts of the country. Their activities do
not attract any suspicion from the government rather at times
there work is encouraged especially in the fields of social welfare.
Muslim foreign workers in similar situations however, are working
under close surveillance and several of them have been deported
without any allegations being proved of involvement in any sinister
dealing.
These acts of intimidation only continue to further strengthen the
notion among Muslims that this so-called war on terror is aimed
at those who are firmly embedded in following its ideals and
ultimately obliterating the Islamic religion.
Muslims are an integral part of the Kenya population and the
practice of subjecting them to different crude system of justice to
appease foreigners ought be brought to an end. And the sooner
it is done, the better for the country.

editorial

Statement from Ismoila Olatunde Rufai

I was resting at home with my family in Mombasa on Wednesday
June 19 when armed officers suddenly burst into my bedroom. I
was dragged and thrown to the ground, although it was clearly visible
I posed no threat as I only had a vest and trousers on. Members of
my family were treated in the same manner. Thereafter, I was pinned
to the floor and taunted by the officers who called me Usama and
unleashed a torrent of abusive names.
Upon asking them to identify themselves or to inform me the reason
for the raid, I was told to shut up or be prepared to face severe
beatings. The officers said they will justify the beatings by saying I
was violent and resisting arrest.
Thereafter, I was taken to the port police station where even the
reason for my arrest was not communicated to me. I asked for my
family and the British High Commission to be informed of my situation
but this request was refused. Upon my insistence, I was violently
thrown into the cell and then locked all by myself in the toilets. Other
inmates at the station were encouraged to tease me by calling me
Al Qaida.
I spent the night in a toilet and the next morning the arresting officers
came to me for questioning. I asked to contact a solicitor and a
doctor as I suffer from a severe ulcer condition, which had started to
bleed. My requests were again refused. After questioning they told
me it was an immigration issue and we will be leaving for
Nairobi shortly, where I will see a lawyer and a doctor. This did not
occur till around 3am the next morning when I was suddenly woken
up by two officers , dragged, hands were handcuffed behind my
back, legs chained and bundled into a Landover.
The journey to Nairobi was gruelling as I had not eaten since
Wednesday,.I had only managed to drink water from the toilet.
Due to the condition of the road, the handcuffs got tighter and were
going deeper through my wrist. Upon complaining, I was told it is
because you Nigerians your bones are too big. The journey was
both a physical and psycholigical torture for me.
Upon reaching Nairobi, I was taken to the anti-terrorist headquarters,
where even the cause of my arrest was not communicated to me.
I spent Friday evening in the cells until Saturday evening June 22,
when officers suddenly came and started to interrogate me and

later asked me to pack my things as we were going somewhere. I

requested for my lawyer or a member of my family to be contacted but
the security officials only laughed and said this is Africa!
I came to realise that we were in Jomo Kenyattta International Airport
where I was told to sign a deportation order which stated that I posed
a threat to national security. I refused to sign as I was not a threat to
national security, and if that was the case, I insisted, that let the law
prove it.
The deportation order did not even bear my name. Strangely enough,
the deportation order was issued and signed on July 17 two days
before my arrest (a copy is available if needed).
I was transported out of the airport to a cell at the airport police station
on Sunday.
At this time I was vomiting blood due to my ulcers and despite
persistent calls, they refused to call a doctor or my family or even the
British High Commission.
I was later taken to a doctor and in the evening I was taken tto he
airport to be deported. I complained that I was not fit for travel as I was
vomiting blood. The commanding officer ordered they drag me on
the plane if necessary and said in his own words: This man can not
stay till Monday. We CAN NOT let him go to court.
I was eventually dragged on the plane and hit on the head by one of
the officers and my shoulder almost dislocated in the process. Though
I was made to leave the country on Sunday my passport is stamped
that I left Kenya on Saturday June 22.
I arrived in the England and was not arrested or charged.
Lastly this incident has left me with deep psychological scars and I
am traumatised. I call upon all the good people of Kenya to speak
against this oppression and victimisation of Muslims and any other
human being, no matter the race of faith he or she belongs to.
I am free of all the accusations against me as a terror suspect, and
I pray and hope this harassment will stop from those in a position of
authority, as they are supposed to protect the population not terrorise
them. What hurts me most is that I am not the first, or the last to
receive this kind of ill-treatment.

Eating: An Act of Worship

What strikes your mind when someone mentions worship?

Most people would answer a ritualistic act performed in a
prescribed place in a set manner, or something along those
lines.
In Islam, every act done in day-to-day life is considered as
worship if done in accordance to the ways prescribed by God
(Allah). Eating, an act done to fulfill physical needs, is
considered as a form of worship when done in the way
prescribed by Allah and Prophet Muhammad with the proper
intention.
Food plays a prevalent role in an individuals life. There is no
denying that food is one of the necessary requirements for the
survival of a human being. Islam acknowledges the importance
of consuming food to nourish the body and mind. Only when
the body is healthy can the mind be healthy.
Food in the Quran
The Quran and Sunnah recommend food rich in nutrients. O
people: eat of what is on earth, lawful and wholesome. (AlBaqarah 2:168). The Quran also says what means: So eat of
(meats), on which Allahs name hath been pronounced if ye
have faith in his signs (Al-An`am 6:118).
The game of the sea and its food are permitted to you (AlMaidah 5:99).
Pure milk, easy and agreeable to swallow for those who drink
(An-Nahl 16:66).
He it is who produceth gardens with trellises and without, and
dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds and olives and
pomegranates, similar and different, eat of their fruit in season
(An-Nahl 16:141).
Live to Eat, or Eat to Live?
Islam emphasizes the concept of moderation in eating.
Muslims are expected to eat for survival, to maintain good health,
and not to live for eating. Moderation in dietary habits can help
people to lead healthy and balanced lives. Modern research
has proven that excessive eating and improper diet can
increase the chance of diseases such as obesity, high
cholesterol, heart diseases, and diabetes.
With regards to food, as with many other subjects in Islam,
prevention is better than cure. Therefore, overeating has been
strongly discouraged in the Quran and Sunnah.
Eat and drink and be not immoderate. Verily Allah does not like
the transgressors (Al-A`raf 7:31).
The Quran also says what means: Eat of the good things We
have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess
therein (Taha 20:81).
In addition to the Quran, many hadiths, or sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad encourage moderation. The Prophet said, No man
fills a vessel worse than his stomach. A few mouthfuls that
would suffice to keep his back upright are enough for a man.
But if he must eat more, than he should fill one third (of his
stomach) with food, one third with drink and leave one third for
easy breathing (Ahmad).
Reading these Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him), some people may think that
Islam is too caught up with details of everyday life. Why is so
much attention given to something like food and eating when
there are more important things like charity, mercy, love, and
piety to be discussed? This stress on daily details of life is,
however, part of the worldview of Islam. The essence of Islam
lies in the relationship between the human being and his or
her Creator, Allah. Therefore, Islam lays down suggestions and
rules for living in order to promote the maintenance of the kind
of living that achieves the best results for this relationship.
Consequently, Islam believes that optimum spiritual health can
only be achieved if one is physically sound.
Food With Healing Properties
There are many Quranic verses and Prophetic sayings that
recommend certain foods, such as honey, dates, figs, milk,
and olives, for their healing properties.
For example, the Quran mentions the healing properties of
honey: And thy Lord inspired the bee, saying: Choose thou

habitations in the hills and in the trees and in that which they
thatch; Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of thy Lord,
made smooth (for thee). There cometh forth from their bellies a
drink divers of hues, wherein is healing for mankind. Lo! herein
is indeed a portent for people who reflect (An-Nahl 16:68-69).
The date, a fruit known for its rich nutrient value, is also
recommended. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
said, There is a tree among the trees which is similar to a Muslim
(in goodness), and that is the date palm tree (Al-Bukhari).
The olive is mentioned several times in the Quran. He it is Who
produceth gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date palm,
and crops of divers flavor, and the olive and the pomegranate,
like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay
the due thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. Lo!
Allah loveth not the prodigals (Al-An`am 6:141).
Prohibited Foods in Islam
In Islam, all foods are allowed except for those which are harmful.
The Quran lays down injunctions regarding diet.
He has only forbidden you carrion, blood, the flesh of swine and
that on which any other name has been invoked besides that of
God. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience
or transgressing due limits, then is he guiltless. For God is Oftforgiving Most Merciful (Al-Baqarah 2:173).
Forbidden to you for food are: Carrion, blood, the flesh of swine
and that on which any name other than Allah has been invoked,
that which has been killed by strangling, by violent blow, by a
headlong fall or by being gored to death; that which has been
partly eaten by a wild animal unless you are able to slaughter it
(in due form), that which is sacrificed on stone (alters); (forbidden)
also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety.
This day have those who rejected faith given up all hope of your
religion: So fear them not, but fear Me. This day have I perfected
your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have
chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by
hunger, with no inclination to transgression, God is indeed Oftforgiving, Most Merciful (Al-Maidah 5:3).
Alcohol is also prohibited. They question thee about intoxicants
and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility
for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness. And
they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: that which is
superfluous. Thus Allah maketh plain to you (His) revelations,
that haply ye may reflect (Al-Baqarah 2:219).
Eating and Drinking Etiquette
Islam also stresses proper eating and drinking etiquette. Some
examples of etiquette which are encouraged include washing
ones hands before and after eating, saying in the name of Allah
before starting to eat, never eating unless one is hungry, never
indulging in excessive eating or drinking, sitting while drinking,
and, finally, returning back to the main objective of helping people
to improve and elevate their relationship with their Creator,
praising and thanking Allah for the blessings of food and drink.

Israel Kills Fifteen Palestinians

Being locked in die-hard battles against Hizbullah resistance
fighters did not prevent Israeli occupation forces from killing
fifteen Palestinians, including a child, in two air raids on the
east of Gaza City on Wednesday, July 26.
Six Palestinians, including a three-year-old girl, were killed in a
single Israeli strike on a group of Palestinians in eastern Gaza
City, hospital officials said.
At least 40 people, including two journalists and six people in a
critical condition, were wounded by Israeli fire.
Late Tuesday, a 14-year-old Palestinian boy was killed by Israeli
fire while in his house. Two family members were also wounded.
At least 134 Palestinians were killed since Israel launched a
wide-scale offensive on Gaza on the pretext of seeking the
release of an Israeli soldier taken prisoners by Palestinian
resistance groups.
Wednesdays killings bring to 5,273 the number of people killed
since the start of Al-Aqsa Intifada in September 2000, most of
them Palestinians, according to an AFP count. (islamonline.net)

Athens Muslims to get their first masjid

The Greek Parliament has approved a plan to build Athens first
mosque in two centuries. There have been no Muslim places of
worship in Athens since Greece gained independence in 1832 after
four centuries of Ottoman rule.
Tens of thousands of Muslim immigrants in Greece have held
prayers in private homes and have had to travel hundreds of
kilometers to northern Greece for weddings, burials and other
ceremonies.
The mosque plan was delayed due to opposition from the Greek
Orthodox Church, the nations state religion, over its location and
funding, although freedom of religion is guaranteed by Greeces
constitution as a member of the European Union.
Its worth mentioning that Athens is the only EU capital that doesnt
have an official place of worship for its 200,000 Muslims. The few
mosques dating from Ottoman times in the old part of Athens known
as Plaka have been turned into tourist sites and museums.
But now the mosque won parliaments approval and the support of
the current centre-right government.
The Muslims of Athens are Greek tax-payers and we have a right to
pray in a respectful building, said Naim El-Ghandour, who is
coordinating plans for the new mosque to be built in northern Athens.
The controversy over the Athens mosque isnt the first in Europe. In
Italy, the planned construction of a mosque in Colle di Val dElsa in
Tuscany has been met by fierce opposition from the local community. (islamonline.com)

Forum to discuss terrorism in Nairobi

A one day forum takes place in Nairobi to discuss challenges
facing Muslims in the face of continued reports of arrest of
individuals in the so-called war on terror.
The forum to be held this week at Jamia Masjid after Friday prayers
has been organised by the Muslim Human Rights Forum in
conjunction with other civil society groups.
It aims at sensitising Muslim regarding their constitutional rights.

Survey of Islamic Religious Education in Schools

Religion is a compulsory subject in primary schools and in the
first two years of secondary school. This means that every Muslim child in Primary school and in the first two years of secondary school should be taught Islamic Religious Education.
We are aware that there are some primary schools and secondary schools that have Muslim students but no Muslim
teacher to teach IRE. We would like to compile data on these
primary and secondary schools that have Muslim teachers but
no Muslim teachers to teach IRE.
We appeal to Heads of schools teachers and parents to send
us the data as
1. Name of the school
2. Name of Town/District
3. Approximate number of Muslim students in the school where
available

Nairobi Masaajid Joint Programme Faith in Action

NMJP rolls out youth programme

The youth constitute a central plank of every society. The numerical strength, knowledge and vitality are critical attributes of
this important segment of the society; yet modern trends reveal
dehumanizing marginalization and debilitating violations of their
dignity and human rights.
As a result, the society is caught up in a dangerous web of
degeneration and hopelessness because we fail to appreciate
the important position and role of the youth in modern times.
Hindsight will reveal that a society that invests and empowers
the youth is a productive, progressive and peaceful society while
the vice-versa is the case for a society that treats and holds its
youth in contempt, ridicule and connivance.
This coming Saturday, 29th July 2006 will inshaallah usher in a
new beginning for Muslim youths in Kenya. Over fifty youths
drawn from various groups and institutions in Nairobi will be
meeting at Aga-Khan Sports Club to usher in a new and collective vision. The workshop dubbed team building and group
achievement will no doubt present an opportunity for all to clasp
hands together as one people in grappling with the issues that
afflict the youth in Kenya. Amongst the speakers expected at the
function are Prof.Shaukat Abdulrazak and Capt.Yahya Atei
amongst others.
Coming as it is, a time when nations are tearing apart along
tribal, cultural, religious, class and other prejudices and stereotypes, our youth will be able to interrogate these issues in
accordance with the teachings of Islam. It is established beyond denial that Islam knows no race, colour, tribe, class, culture, etcetera and that in Islam it is Allah (SWT) and humanity
beyond boundaries and nuances. It is therefore hoped that this
workshop will empower the youth and generate the requisite
capacity to wither the many challenges facing the Kenyan society today and hence inspire a new hope for a better Muslim
(community) and a better Kenya
From this workshop, our youth will inshaallah display a new
chapter in human development not only to the Kenyan nation
but to the whole world that it is possible to clasp hands together
in all the things that are essential for our mutual progress as
young people and that by empowering the youth, we are creating a productive, peaceful and progressive society. That the youth
if mobilized constructively will offer the safest depository of the
ultimate powers of the society as evidenced by their numerical
strength, freshness in knowledge and vitality.
That indeed it is possible to lift our nation from the quicksand of
tribalism, nepotism, corruption, impunity, recklessness, hopelessness, name it all, to the very higher levels of reason, hope
and progress. This workshop will no doubt launch this new
spirit and collective vision based on reason, hope, equity and
mutual progress. May Allah (SWT) bless and guide our efforts.
