I'm your brother
Although I managed to watch most part of it..I've to admit my heart is bleeding while watching!!! Ya Allah... pls help our brothers and sisters in Syria.
Why the world, those claimed to be "world police" are still watching while they are so quick to punish Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan? Is it because they want to see as many Muslims being slaughtered first like in the case of Bosnia?
Recalling their ambassador to Syria is not enough to press Assad, KSA and OIC need to do more... and quickly.

I have nothing to say. The ummah is acting dead. IF Filistin, Chechnya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Arakan, etc didn't have an effect on this ummah (except for increasing their apologetic behavior), why will this have an effect. May Allah be with those who are steadfast on the sirat-al-mustaqeem and make us one of them.

And what is with the ummaah that it calls for help (US, UN, UK, NATO) ? Have we forgotten that we recite "It is You we worship and You we ask for help." more than 27 times a day in our prayer. So let us seek help in Allaah and not in those who reject Allaah, not those who slander against Allaah, not those who favor the enemies of Allaah. Let us come back to the true deen, out of the apologetic weak thing we have made out of Islam.

Assalaam walaikum,
Let me give you a simple example. We had three Eid services. 23,500 people came to worship. I knew there were many but I did not conceive this large a number. It brought traffic to a standstill.
Why am I writing this. Throughout the year we have three services for jumma. I would venture to say that we may get at most 3000 worshipers.
I was thinking about the 20,500 we do not see at jumma. That is who we have to reach. I was thinking about getting a cowbell and ringing it everyday to wake up Muslims.
I am not speaking politically whatsoever.
How can you care about what is going on in Syria if you do not even care about your soul. We need to wake up.
Brother,
There are many of us who do our little part. We have the constraints of time and money but we make our efforts. So do not be disappointed. I discuss these issues with my sons who in turn spread the word to their friends. I discuss whatever I can given the opportunity.
I think of the endless work of Sister Harb. And we are lucky to have the likes of her on this website. And now you come along.
We have to keep on doing the same old thing everyday. And we have to believe our dua and work will make a difference, Insha'Allah.

Why are Tories having dinner tonight with son of Syrian 'war criminal'?
Member of pariah state's ruling family to foot bill at event that purports to support democracy in Middle East
By Andy McSmith
Wednesday, 7 September 2011
Sixty-five distinguished guests will sit down for a dinner tonight in Westminster paid for by a branch of a family that has ruled Syria for more than 40 years.
Ribal al-Assad, whose organisation, Iman Worldwide, has paid for the event, is a British citizen who left Syria when he was nine, but his father, Rifaat – once the country's vice president – is accused of being the perpetrator of one of the worst atrocities in the bloody history of the Middle East, when up to 20,000 people were killed by Syrian special forces in the Sunni-dominated town of Hama.
The question, then, is whether British politicians should avoid contact with the son because of his father. Chris Doyle, director of Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding (CAABU), whose wife is Syrian, said: "The objection to Ribal is not that he is Rifaat's son, it is that he acts as an active apologist for his father. He called Rifaat a 'democrat' and claimed his father was innocent of the Hama massacre.

"The second objection is Rifaat's billions. Ribal benefits from these handsomely. Rifaat was extremely corrupt and Syrians believe that the money should be returned to Syria."
Ghassan Ibrahim, head of the London-based news service Global Arab network, who fled Syria in 2002, said: "It's an insult to Syrians who are suffering now to be engaging with such a controversial organisation. What is happening now is similar to what was done in the 1980s when Rifaat was in power."
Ribal al-Assad has good contacts in the Conservative Party. He met the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, in June. In July, Iman Worldwide funded a visit to Cairo by the Tory MP, Steven Baker, and the Tory MEP Syed Kamal, who spoke at a seminar on democracy. In August 2010, the organisation paid for the Tory MPs Daniel Kawczynski and Andrew Rosindell to take part in an international conference in Lebanon. It also gave £2,975 to the Conservative Support Club in Mr Rosindell's Romford seat. In July 2010, Iman hosted a dinner at which the guests were seven MPs and an MEP, all Tories, and three peers from each of the main parties.
Mr Baker said Iman's sponsorship allowed him to visit Cairo and speak "with no impediments" about the principles of a free society. He added: "I'm not prepared to obstruct progress because of a man's family name."
Mr Kawczynski complained that protests organised by CAABU were jeopardising his efforts to build an all party group on the Middle East and North Africa, in which he, the former Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, and the Liberal Democrat peer David Steel would be co-chairmen. He said: "I'm conscious of the extraordinarily unprofessional way in which Chris Doyle has conducted his campaign and the intimidation he has put me under. CAABU managed to get hundreds of people to write, with libellous stuff about Ribal."
Although he was born into Syria's most powerful family, all of Ribal Assad's early memories are of harassment by the government. He is now a critic of the Damascus regime, and the driving force behind the London-based Iman Worldwide, whose declared aims are to promote democracy and end religious conflict in the Middle East.
It is a far cry from politics as practised by Syria's Baathist regime over the past 40 years. When Ribal's fearsome uncle, the late President Hafez al-Assad, felt threatened by Sunni Moslem insurgents in the early 1980s, his special forces went into a prison and killed hundreds of Sunnis suspected of links to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Two years later, in 1982, came the massacre of up to 20,000 people in Hama. The commander of the special forces who carried out both atrocities was Ribal al-Assad's father – though when Ribal was interviewed by Robert Fisk for The Independent last year, he claimed: "My father was not in Hama. He was in Damascus at the time."
Rifaat al-Assad has spent years in exile after losing out in a family feud. Many Syrians see him as a war criminal, but he has never been charged and has a £10.3 million house in Mayfair.
In July, the Lib Dem peer Jenny Tonge tabled a parliamentary question about his presence in London.
