I know exactly what you mean! Just reading some of the responses to this post made me frustrated! The situation in Darfur needs to stop-period. And if it's the ICC that needs to do it, then so be it. We have all lost trust of international organizations, but we can't not support them if they are actually taking action against a horrible situation just because they didn't take action against the Middle East situation. Someone has to do something about it and at least the ICC has brought attention to Darfur. If nothing else, they have at least made people aware of it and that's the first step.

I'm going to have to jump in for dianek. Firstly, I want to say that I completely agree with her posting this thread. Why? Because she didn't post it with the intention to make a political statement, she did it with the intention of helping her brothers and sisters! This sister has repeatedly stated this is why she posted that, so instead of telling her she's being naive for trying to make a "political move", let's commend her on her efforts of concern for the Ummah and help her with this effort!
This Darfur crisis is the biggest humanitarian crisis on the globe. But, when a Muslim comes out to to help them, instead of being commended on trying to help them, she faces a barrage of insults and condescending comments. SubhanAllah! May Allah reward you for your efforts of concern for this Ummah sister dianek.
If you look at the situation, Muslim children are becoming orphaned, wives are becoming widowed, not to mention raped, beaten, tortured, and killed. Why are we forgetting this? We should stop these political comments and discussions and instead focus on helping these people. Sponsor orphans through Islamic Relief, make flyers to pass in out in the Masajid about what our role should be in helping our brothers and sisters there. We need to keep focused on our roles as being a part of this Ummah, and for this reason, I am going to re-post the Hadith I posted before:
"The Faithful are to one another like [parts of] a building -
each part strengthening the others" and "Every Muslim is a
brother to a Muslim, neither wronging him nor allowing him to be
wronged. And if anyone helps his brother in need, Allah will
help him in his own need; and if anyone removes a calamity from
[another] Muslim, Allah will remove from him some of the
calamities of the Day of Resurrection; and if anyone shields
[another] Muslim from disgrace, Allah will shield him from the
disgrace on the Day of Resurrection." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim, on
the authority of `Abd Allah ibn `Umar]

:salam2:Thank you for reminding me of my duties,but i must admit that i was not waiting for you to reconcile with my conscience and islamic principles, however good effort if your heart is beating for this you are still healthy alhamdulillah although you did not comment on what was said on the video but more about who said it...You post something about Elijah Mohammad.....what for.......I have no interest in listening to ANYTHING that has to do with him, Farakahn or the NATION OF ISLAM! That is radical bunch of racists...........that would be like me coming to you with some works from the leader of some Arian nation group.....holds no value to either of us.
Bottom line is everyone cries about injustices against muslims but when muslims are suffering in a place like Darfur not one of the muslim countries steps and bothers with it.
I don't like American policies, nor do I like what is happening at the hand of Al-Bashir but the fact is I do care about women and children suffering through the nightmare.....
I URGE you all to please support SaveDarfur.Org..........sign petitions, send $, I have. And will as I can. Forget stupid politics for a while and think of humanity, your sisters, your brothers....
Salaam,
The Nation of Islam may not be Muslim but they are making efforts to work with Muslims.
Please do not equate them with being racist. It is just the opposite. The works of the Nation of Islam has always assisted the communities they have been involved with. Crime goes down and work gets done.
Please put your prejudices aside and listen to the message. The man knows his stuff.
Just for the sake of argument as you ask us to send money for a cause that you think is worthy..were I to plea would you send money to the Nation of Islam as it attempts to help women and chidren of the ghettos of the US...is that not a humanatarian cause?
salam to all
sister Dianek just wanted to call attention to the evil happinings going on in Darfur and she is just trying her best to do sth I believe she posted this post to ask for help but instead ppl talk about the leaders.. who is more worse Bush or Al Bashir...? who cares . I´m angry cuz we always point at others but we don´t look at ourselves...... and we also do not give a damn about the ppl there in Darfur or anywhere.. and when there is so who is calling to attention to help we ignore it. The ummah is in a bad situation not because of Bush or anyone but because of usself... ...
