Why Did Yusuf Estes Leave Christianity?
Gregory (a Christian Arab) living in Australia asks:
Subject: Why did you really convert?
I have read on your website your reasons for leaving christianity for islam.I just can't help but think/feel, your not telling the whole truth.You know what i think?
I think that you asked God/Jesus for something some years ago and it never happened.Your faith started to whither after that.Just like you and many other Truth seekers i've always asked questions when it came to bible stories. Needless to say i never got an answer. From what i know now neither does priests and pastors and popes. Christianity has a lot of man made beliefs and rituals which i never accepted and agreed with.The biggest one is that God is a trinity . . .

HOLYLAND FOUNDATION - Mistrial? What Next?

Re: The Holy Land Foundation Trial
Assalaamu Alaikum - (Greetings of Peace):
A short while ago, I sent out a release that was factually incorrect and MISLEADING. For this I apologize.
The alert was based on a release that I received from the Dallas TX chapter of C.A.I.R..
Within minutes after I sent out our release, however, I received a call from my brother in Islam, Dr. Imad ad-Dean Ahmad, of the Minaret of Freedom Institute, to alert me of the factual discrepancy.
I appreciated this call, as I consider ACCURACY in the media (including advocacy media) to be very important!
Since then, I have had an opportunity to read two reports on what actually did happen in that federal courthouse in Dallas,Texas - and what happened is absolutely shocking!
One report can be found below. A more lengthy, in-depth report can found via the following link:
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/102207dnmetholyland.1878fd716.html
Last Thursday, the jury reportedly found THREE of the leading defendants (Mohammad El-Mezain, Mufid Abdulqader and Abdulrahman Odeh) innocent on MOST of the charges in the indictment, and deadlocked on the remaining counts. That decision was sealed after their deliberations until this morning's reading by the jury forewoman.
After the verdict was read, the jury was individually polled by U.S. District Judge Joe Fish. It was at this time that some of the jurors expressed disagreement with the verdict (exonerating Mufid Abdulqader and Abdulrahman Odeh).
Something happened between Thursday and today. The question is, what?
It is inconceiveable, in this commentator's estimation, that a jury forewoman would have made such a mistake - especially in a trial of this magnitude. What happened? Was the jury sequestered? (If not, why not?) If it was sequestered, did anything else happen during this four day period that may have resulted in illegal jury tampering, after the fact?!
THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE RAISED!
As expected, the prosecution has already announced its intent to retry all defendants on any and all counts that the jury could not reach a unanimous decision on.
The struggle continues... (And as we can see, anything is possible.)

Mistrial Declared in Muslim Charity Case
Judge Declares Mistrial for Most Defendants in Muslim Charity Trial
By DAVID KOENIG - The Associated Press
DALLAS
A judge declared a mistrial Monday for most former leaders of a Muslim charity accused of funding terrorism, after chaos broke out in the court when three jurors disputed the verdict that had been announced.
One of the defendants, former Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development Chairman Mohammed El-Mezain, was acquitted of most charges.
The outcome came about an hour after a confusing scene in the courtroom, in which three former leaders of the group were initially found not guilty. But then when jurors were polled, three of them said those verdicts were read incorrectly.
Judge Joe A. Fish sent the jury back to resolve the differences, but after about an hour, Fish said he received a note from the jury saying 11 of 12 felt further deliberations will not lead them to reach a unanimous decision.
The jury forewoman said she was surprised by the three jurors' actions. "When we voted, there was no issue in the vote," she said. "No one spoke up any different. I really don't understand where it is coming from."
In all, five former Holy Land leaders and the group were accused of providing aid to the Middle Eastern militant group Hamas. The U.S. government designated Hamas a terrorist group in 1995 and again in 1997, making financial transactions with the group illegal.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

Name of "God" - Not Allah?
Question: Is "Allah" - 'god' in English?
- by Adam Mofit
"I just found in old version of Encycolpedia Britannica that God word (etymology) comes from the Gothic God of the Woods (Woden). The Goths are Gog and Magog and God is the name of their God not the One God."
Holy Land Foundation - Not Guilty!
Yesterday's Good News - is Today's "Bad News":
The Holy Land Foundation was found NOT GUILTY of "Funding Terrorism"
Justice? Not yet . . .
But that was yesterday. Today, "Bad News" - three jury members - "Changed their minds?" and the judge has declared a "mis-trial?" . . . (read the rest)
Hajj - now! No way? Amazing!
Hajj Now? - YES! AMAZING!
I really cried today!
I love the way Allah works things out (if your patient - inshallah)!

Tolerance in Islam?
(by M. M. Pickthall - Abridged)
In the eyes of history, religious toleration is the highest evidence of culture in a people. It was not until the Western nations broke away from their religious law that they became more tolerant, and it was only when the Muslims fell away from their religious law that they declined in tolerance and other evidences of the highest culture. Before the coming of Islam, tolerance had never been preached as an essential part of religion.If Europe had known as much of Islam, as Muslims knew of Christendom, in those days, those mad, adventurous, occasionally chivalrous and heroic, but utterly fanatical outbreak known as the Crusades could not have taken place, for they were based on a complete misapprehension.
Innumerable monasteries, with a wealth of treasure of which the worth has been calculated at not less than a hundred millions sterling, enjoyed the benefit of the Holy Prophet's (Muhammad's) Charter to the monks of Sinai and were religiously respected by the Muslims. The various sects of Christians were represented in the Council of the Empire by their patriarchs, on the provincial and district council by their bishops, in the village council by their priests, whose word was always taken without question on things which were the sole concern of their community.
The tolerance within the body of Islam was, and is, something without parallel in history; class and race and color ceasing altogether to be barriers.
Does Allah Mean "God"?
The word "Allah" is the perfect description of the "One God" of monotheism for Jews, Christians and Muslims!
Is "Allah" only for Islam and Muslims?
[No! It is for All Three Abrahamic Faiths.]
