The ultimate manifestation of God's grace for man, the ultimate wisdom, and the ultimate beauty of expression: in short, the word of God. If one were to ask any Muslim to depict it, most likely they would offer similar words. The Quran, to the Muslim, is the irrefutable, inimitable Word of God. It was revealed by God Almighty, through the instrument of Prophet Muhammad (peace be Upon Him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) himself had no role in authoring the Quran, he was merely a human secretary, repeating the dictates of the Divine Creator:
"He (Muhammad) does not speak of his own desire. It is no less than an Inspiration sent down to him."
[Noble Quran 53:3-4]The Quran was revealed in Arabic, to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over a period of twenty-three years. It is composed in a style so unique, that it cannot be deemed either poetry or prose, but somehow a mixture of both. The Quran is inimitable; it cannot be simulated or copied, and God Almighty challenges mankind to pursue such an endeavor if he thinks he can:
"Or do they say he forged it? Say: Bring then a chapter like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can, beside God, if it be you speak the truth."
[Noble Quran 10:38]The Quran's language is indeed sublime, its recitation moving, as one non-Muslim scholar noted, it was like the cadence of my heartbeat. Due to its unique style of language, the Quran is not only highly readable, but also relatively easy to remember. This latter aspect has played an important role not only in the Quran's preservation, but in the spiritual life of Muslims as well. God Himself declares,
"And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember; then is there anyone that will receive admonition?"
[Noble Quran 54:17]One of the most important characteristics of the Quran is that it remains today, the only holy book which has never changed; it has remained free from any and all adulterations. Sir William Muir noted, "There is probably in the world no other book which has remained (fourteen) centuries with so pure a text." The Quran was written down during the lifetime and under the supervision of the Prophet, who himself was illiterate, and it was canonized shortly after his death by a rigorous method which scrutinized both written and oral traditions. Thus its authenticity is unblemished, and is its preservation is seen as the fulfillment of God's promise:
"We have, without doubt, sent down the Message, and We will assuredly guard it from corruption."
[Noble Quran 15:9]The Quran is a book which provides the human being the spiritual and intellectual nourishment he/she craves. Its major themes include the oneness of God, the purpose of human existence, faith and God-consciousness, the Hereafter and its significance. The Quran also lays a heavy emphasis upon reason and understanding. In these spheres of human understanding, the Quran goes beyond just satisfying the human intellect; it causes one to reflect on implications. There are Quranic challenges and prophecies. One of the most exciting fields in recent years has been the discovery that, of the significant amount of scientific information in the Quran, including the event of the Big Bang, embryological data, and other information concerning astronomy biology, etc., there is not a single statement that has not been borne out by modern discoveries In short, the Quran fulfills the heart, the soul, and the mind. Perhaps the best description of the Quran was given by Ali, the cousin of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when he expounded upon it as, "The Book of God. In it is the record of what was before you, the judgment of what is among you, and the prophecies of what will come after you. It is decisive, not a case for levity. Whoever is a tyrant and ignores the Quran will be destroyed by God. Whoever seeks guidance from other than it will be misguided. The Quran is the unbreakable bond of connection with God; it is the remembrance full of wisdom and the straight path. The Quran does not become distorted by tongues, nor can it be deviated by caprices; it never dulls from repeated study; scholars will always want more of it. The wonders of the Quran are never ending. Whoever speaks from it will speak the truth, whoever rules with it will be just, and whoever holds fast to it will be guided to the straight path."

An Invitation To Refute The Quran.
By: Maged Taman
Disbelievers are invited to refute the Quran. Actually we will have a mass exit from Islam if they convincingly can refute the Quran. However they have to give us a convincing scenario.
1- They can not have Muhammad as a liar, insane, magician, social reformer or agent of Satan in the same time. They have to give us one convincing scenario and stick to it so we can be convinced.
2- They can not have it both ways they give the right to a lot of the old testament Kings and prophets to fight back for the cause of God and prohibit that for Muhammad.
3- They can not have it as evidence against Islam that Muslims fought each other a thing that happened with Christians all over the ages.
4- They can not have it both ways applauding for Moses to get laws from God and criticizing the Muslim's Sharia laws.
5- They can not have it both ways that Quran was a conspiracy of few Jews that taught Muhammad the Quran or the Arabs and in the same time a single mind of Muhammad had created the Quran. The critics have to sit together and give us one convincing scenario. They are confusing us we can not find the path out of Islam.
6- They can not use the Bible to refute the Quran since the Quran is well preserved and the last words of God. When the Bible and Quran have a contradiction the reference should be the Quran. If you want to refute the Quran defeate it from within.
7- You can not start in the middle of story you have to start from the beginning. Like when there are verses in the Quran about wars do not start in the middle of the story. It is like saying John slapped James on his face and not mentioning that James had slapped him first. Do not say that Jesus message is unlike that of Muhammad it is about peace. Both declared peace through justice and both have in their religion what is called just war.
8- You can not use the Muslims situation now as evidence of their deterioration. Colonism and imperialism worked hard to oppress them and the extremist phenomenon is the work of their oppressor leaders and the West.
9- You can not refute the Quran unless you are well versed in the Arabic language. The Arab disbelievers who fought Islam and were well versed in Arabic were not able to see mistakes in the text. That is why they chose many times to label him as a soccer.
10- Do not refute the Quran because it is in Arabic. God sends his message in what language he choose Hebrew, Aramaic or Arabic.
11- Do not use the polygamy of the prophet against him since it was God orders like he did that with many prophets before. He sometimes chose to prophets who they marry and has a wisdom that we may not grasp. He started polygamy at age of 52-53 when most womanizers quit.
12- Do not use the polygamy in Islam against it since it is the exception and has one main reason is taking care of the orphans.
13- Do not use women rights since it is better than in any culture and religious group.
14- Make verses like the Quran but do it perfectly right. I red in the Internet the Quran that someone tried to make up and was a hilarious book.
15- You have to reconcile the morality, wisdom and ethics of Quran as well the morality and personality of Muhammad with things that could be outrageous that you may say about him. The inspiration he had was seen by people he would get pale and sweating. Attacks of Satan, epileps, madness can look the same but usually much worse. Only Muhammad was the most reasonable of people and his book is superhuman and Muhammad life was full of wisdom and meaning. 1.5 billion Muslims attest to that today.
16- You can copy from the Quran, hadith (Muhammad PBUH sayings) and sera (Muhammad PBUH biography) things against Islam to appreciate that Muslims did not hide anything or delete anything that may be controversial or seemingly bad against Islam. However you have to mention the context. Like they quote Aisha the wife of the prophet when she joked with him that God is looking after his desires. They did not quote her when she said about him that his morals was that of Quran or the great things she said about him. She alone conducting to Muslims about 2000 hadith from him.
17- They can not cut and paste to make a scenario against Islam or Quran since we know what they are cutting from and what they are pasting to.
18- They have to understand that the one they are refuting is the creator of the universe and the one who owns heavens and hells. They have to be fair to him and to their souls. They are not refuting individuals or even kings. They are refuting the king of kings the one that kings will tremble from him in the day of judgement.
19- You can not make a scenario that the Quran was inspired by Satan, Muslims will not buy it. The great spirituality and morality that Muslims enjoy can not be attributed to Satan.
20- Do not use the one warded defense that is the Quran denies Jesus divinity so it is not from God when Jesus divinity itself was a controversial issue for early Christians and continued to be confusing issue for many of the current Christians.
So refute the Quran but find something new and very convincing. Build a very good scenario and then you will find the mass exit out of Islam. You may also find the opposite during the process a mass conversion to Islam. Opoen the Quran and read it sincerely from the start to the end, after all it is your eternity.

The Crucifixion and the Quran
From: http://religiousroundtable.blogspot.com/2007/07/crucifixion-and-quran.html
It is commonly held in Islam that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ did not occur.It is stated in the Quran, That they said (in their boast), "We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah"- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety They killed him not-Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise- Q 4:157-158.Most Moslems believe this to mean that Jesus Christ never died, but simply ascended up to heaven. Yet the Quran quotes Jesus as saying, "So Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"- Q 19:33. What an awesome presentation of the Gospel in that verse! Clearly the Gospels were well known to Mohamed as he received the Quranic revelation. Did he really intend to say that Jesus would not be killed? Or that He would not be crucified? Doubtful.In fact, I don't see in Q 4:157-158 a denial of Christ's death, nor yet a denial of His crucifixion. Actually, I see a harmony between the text of that Surah, and John's gospel, when Jesus said, Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.- Jn 10.17-18.It is so then that Jesus was not actually killed by the Jews, but it only appeared to them that they crucified Him, when in fact, He laid His own life down for us on the cross. It is not that He simply appeared to die on the cross as a docetic type of epiphany, with someone else being the actual victim (as portrayed in the apocryphal gospel of Barnabas). This need to have Jesus "trick" the Jews is not necessary if we realize that the Quran is not actually denying His crucifixion, nor yet His death. And to consider that He was raised up to life, and subsequently raised up to Allah, as is also in harmony with Christian Scripture (Jn 20.9-17; Acts 1.2-3, 9). Thus the Quran tells us, And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgement He will be a witness against them- Q 4:159. To this Jesus also said of Himself, I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.- Jn 8.24, and again Scripture says, ...that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.- Jn 20.31.

Hello Mr.Leon.I bet you like the Movie Narnia. Lets get to the subject anyway :)First of all let me clear u with so many allegations u put against QuranNo 1>that they didn't kill Him, nor did they crucify Him. But it was made to appear to them so. And those who dispute therein are full of doubts(1). They have no certain knowledge(2); they only follow conjecture(3). For of a surety, they killed Him not.{Holy Quran 4:157}1."Full of Doubts!" — In a state of confusion. 2. "Without Knowledge!" — In ignorance. 3. "Only follow Conjecture!" — Guess work—Fiction!The above verse clears the misconception of the Jews and the Christians that Jesus (pbuh) was not crucified and was not killed meaning he didn’t die neither was he crucified. JESUS (PBUH) WAS RAISED UP ALIVEI guess u can understand thatNow No.2>"So Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die and the Day that I shall be raised up to life (again)".The Qur'an mentions that Jesus (pbuh) said "Peace is on me the Day I was born, the day that I die". (Q-19-33) "It is not stated the day that I died". It is in the future tense and not in the past tense.There is nothing doubtful about the above two verses as they aren’t contradicting. The more important point is that Jesus never died according to Islam. There is a similar Verse to 19:33 in the Noble Quran that was mentioned to another Messenger of GOD: "So peace on him [Yahya, or John the Baptist] the day he was born, the day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life! (The Noble Quran, 19:15)" This Noble Verse (19:15) is similar to 19:33, where it does not at all state that any Messenger of GOD was crucified or will die twice!. The reason why no Messenger of GOD will ever die twice is because Allah Almighty said clearly in His Noble Book that every soul He creates (this includes all of His Messengers and Prophets even Jesus) shall taste death once;”Nor will they [all humans who end up in heaven] there taste death, except the first death; and He will preserve them from the penalty of the blazing fire. (The Noble Quran, 44:56)"..No 3>About Mohammed (pbuh), he was an illiterate person. He chooses an Ummi 1 non-literate Prophet for an Ummi illiterate nation.(Quran- 62-2)You can read the Biography of Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) from http://mohammad.islamway.com or you can read Biography of his from many non muslims as well Quran Confesses that Mohammed (pbuh) was an illiterate person and moreover there wasn’t any Arabic bible in the era of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh)Sorry to say but u have only made an allegation without giving any proof or any reference that Mohammed (pbuh) copied Bible as it is easy to make statements and I can give u reference even from the bible about Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), the natural successor to Christ, I will be writing blog about that, its not the subject now though.No 4) And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgement He will be a witness against them- Q 4:159.He will be a witness yes and he will tell this115And behold! Allah will say "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, `worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah"? He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. (116) "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say: to wit, `Worship Allah, my Lord, and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me upThou wast the Watcher over them and Thou art a Witness to all things. (117) "If Thou dost punish them they are Thy servants: if Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power the Wise. (118) Allah will say: "This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,― their eternal home: Allah well-pleased with them and they with Allah: that is the great Salvation (the fulfillment of all desires). (119) To Allah doth belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein and it is He who hath power over all things. (Quran5:115-119)Yes Jesus is the Christ, and Son of God means righteous person in the Jewish law. And if you follow righteous persons that is the prophets then we will be rightly guided and have an eternal life. As a Muslim we are made to believe in all the messengers of Almighty, if we don’t believe in Jesus(pbuh) then we are not Muslims and we don’t have a right for Salvation.If we don’t’ believe in Moses(pbuh) then we are not Muslims either and if we believe in Moses(pbuh) and Jesus(pbuh) and not believe in Mohammad(pbuh) then we are not Muslims either, We can only be Muslims if we believe in all the messengers . And the meaning of Muslim means “one who has submitted to God’s will” like Jesus (pbuh) did. Remember Jesus (pbuh) said “Oh my father if it be possible, Let this cup pass of me, not as I will but as thou will” {Matthew 26:39} he has submitted to God’s will and that is what a Muslim means. God has sent messengers to spread the same message from Abraham down to Mohammad (pbuh).I Guess I gave clear answers to your assertions . Now its your turn, Read the blogs I wrote on Crucifixion Part I , Part II and Part III. Then we can argue about it :)Have a good day.Sincerely,genie.
Blogger comment:
With good intention some of the Christians and Muslims try to unite with other one religion and have Harmony which is great. However, Muslims follow the Quran because they talked it over and over and found out it can be only from God. The evidences are overwhelming, to know Muhammad day by day is very possible from his biography it is not about a mysterious person or an ancient tale. His life and his religion were put under great scrutiny even by Muslims of his times some of them were his worst enemies and then attested to the truth. Thus for Muslims it is not about who is right or who is wrong but about were is the truth. For some Christians who lived all their lives believe in Jesus as son of God and his crucifixion is a noble idea to save humans by the blood of Jesus they are trying to prove their creed even if they quote the Quran in wrong way. For Muslims the Quran is the word of God and not of Muhammad and what God tell us is the truth. Muslims never imposed creed in anyone (except possibly few idiots), in fact it is strongly against their religion to impose the creed. God wants faith to be a free will of man to ponder in the Quran and believe in it as his own book. It does not agree with his glory to have people submit with force to his worship but by choice. Thus Muslims have to strive to have people learn about their religion with the respect of the free will to convert to Islam. Muhammad (PBUH) was the first convert to Islam. It is not his religion it is God's religion and he was only the conduit.
It is commonly held in Islam that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ did not occur.It is stated in the Quran, That they said (in their boast), "We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah"- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety They killed him not-Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise- Q 4:157-158.Most Moslems believe this to mean that Jesus Christ never died, but simply ascended up to heaven.

Remember Jesus (pbuh) said “Oh my father if it be possible, Let this cup pass of me, not as I will but as thou will” {Matthew 26:39} he has submitted to God’s will and that is what a Muslim means. God has sent messengers to spread the same message from Abraham down to Mohammad (pbuh).I Guess I gave clear answers to your assertions . Now its your turn, Read the blogs I wrote on Crucifixion Part I , Part II and Part III. Then we can argue about it :)Have a good day.Sincerely,genie.

With good intention some of the Christians and Muslims try to unite with other one religion and have Harmony which is great. However, Muslims follow the Quran because they talked it over and over and found out it can be only from God. The evidences are overwhelming, to know Muhammad day by day is very possible from his biography it is not about a mysterious person or an ancient tale. His life and his religion were put under great scrutiny even by Muslims of his times some of them were his worst enemies and then attested to the truth. Thus for Muslims it is not about who is right or who is wrong but about were is the truth. For some Christians who lived all their lives believe in Jesus as son of God and his crucifixion is a noble idea to save humans by the blood of Jesus they are trying to prove their creed even if they quote the Quran in wrong way. For Muslims the Quran is the word of God and not of Muhammad and what God tell us is the truth. Muslims never imposed creed in anyone (except possibly few idiots), in fact it is strongly against their religion to impose the creed. God wants faith to be a free will of man to ponder in the Quran and believe in it as his own book. It does not agree with his glory to have people submit with force to his worship but by choice. Thus Muslims have to strive to have people learn about their religion with the respect of the free will to convert to Islam. Muhammad (PBUH) was the first convert to Islam. It is not his religion it is God's religion and he was only the conduit.

Prophet Muhammad was born in 570 CE (Common Era) in the city of Mecca in the Arabian Peninsula, part of modern day Saudi Arabia. As his father had died shortly after marriage, his grandfather 'Abd al-Muttalib became his guardian. 'Abd al-Muttalib was the respected head of the clan of Hashim and the tribe of Quraysh, to which his clan belonged. With the Quraysh being the biggest and most influential tribe in Mecca, 'Abd al-Muttalib was seen as the master of all of Mecca. The Quraysh had a special status in Mecca because they used to be in charge of the sacred Ka'ba. The Qur'an tells us that this holy edifice was built by Prophets Abraham and his son Ishmael:
And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House [Abraham prayed]: "Our Lord! Accept from us; surely You are the Hearing, the Knowing (2.127). Our Lord! Make us Muslims and raise from our offspring a nation of Muslims. Show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us. Surely, Your are the Relenting, the Merciful" (2.128).This means that the Ka'ba was built around 1900 BCE, which is when Abraham is thought to have lived. The Ka'ba maintained its venerable status as the destination of pilgrimage in the eyes of the pilgrims and the Arab population of the Arabian Peninsula down the centuries. 'Abd al-Muttalib was personally in charge of the Ka'ba. The Prophet was only about five to six years old when he lost his mother. Orphan Muhammad then lost his grandfather and custodian 'Abd al-Muttalib at the age of eight. Now one of 'Abd al-Muttalib's sons, Abu Talib, became the guardian of his orphan nephew. Though respected by the clan of Hashim and the people of Mecca in general, Abu Talib did not possess the high status and influence of his father. Had he been more fortunate financially, he might have aspired to acquire that special leadership status. When Muhammad was twenty five years old, he was hired by a woman called Khadija to take her merchandize to Syria. Khadija, a widow fifteen years Muhammad's senior, later proposed marriage to him, which he agreed to. They lived together for almost a quarter of a century, until the death of Khadija about 8-9 years after the revelation of the Qur'an. It is interesting to note that Muhammad did not get married to any other woman during Khadija's life, despite the fact that polygamy was common practice in that society. Living out his youth with only one woman in that highly polygamous environment contradicts Muhammad's lecherous image in the Western mind. Muhammad was deeply interested in matters beyond this mundane life. He used to frequent a cave that became known as "Hira'" on the Mountain of "Nur" (light) for contemplation. The cave itself, which survived the times, gives a very vivid image of Muhammad's spiritual inclinations. Resting on the top of one of the mountains north of Mecca, the cave is completely isolated from the rest of the world. In fact, it is not easy to find at all even if one knew it existed. After visiting the cave, I found myself concluding that Muhammad must have been divinely guided to that hideaway, even if he had chosen it consciously. Once inside the cave, it is a total isolation. Nothing can be seen other than the clear, beautiful sky above and the many surrounding mountains. Very little of this world can be seen or heard from inside the cave. The inhabitant of that cave was obviously interested in things beyond this world and its material riches. It was in that cave in 610 CE, i.e. at the age of forty, that Prophet Muhammad received from Allah the first verses of the Qur'an. Then and there, history changed. The Qur'an continued to be revealed in fragments to Prophet Muhammad over the following twenty two years. The last words of the Book were revealed to the Prophet shortly before his death in 632 CE. We will read more about the Qur'an in section 2.2. In the first two to three years after the revelation, the Prophet preached Islam secretly to individuals whom he trusted. When he started calling people to Islam publicly, the new religion gradually attracted more people but, not surprisingly, also increasing hostility from the idol worshipping population of Mecca. The Prophet was subjected to harassment and abuse. However, armed with patience, resilience, and determination, and protected by his uncle Abu Talib and the clan of Hashim, the Prophet was able to carry on preaching the new faith to people. Converts to Islam, some of whom were slaves, had to suffer all kinds of persecution, including brutal torture and murder, at the hands of the enemies of the new religion in Mecca. In 614 CE, the Prophet had to instruct a group of Muslims to escape the persecution to Abyssinia and seek the protection of its just Christian king. The Quraysh then sent a delegation to the king, carrying precious gifts, to secure the extradition of the Muslim refugees. The king, however, rejected the bribe and let the Muslims stay in Abyssinia. One year later, the Quraysh imposed economic and social sanctions on the Prophet, his followers, and his clan. As a result, the Muslims withdrew to a mountain in Mecca. The sanctions lasted about three years before collapsing in 618/619 CE without achieving their goals. Soon afterward, the Prophet lost his wife Khadija. Matters got worse quickly with the death of his uncle and protector. Prophet Muhammad started to suffer more from the disbelievers' relentless attempts to uproot Islam and destroy its followers. During the pilgrimage season in 622 CE, Muhammad met in Mecca with a number of chiefs from the city of Yathrib, where he had previously sent some Muslims to settle in. Having converted to Islam, the chiefs made a secret pledge to protect the Prophet should the Quraysh try to kill him. However, the Quraysh learned about the agreement, so the people from Yathrib had to return quickly to their city. Sensing that the danger to Muslims has increased, Muhammad instructed them to immigrate individually or in small groups to Yathrib. The Qurayshites tried to prevent Muslims from fleeing Mecca to Yathrib, but the converts continued to sneak out gradually. The continuing immigration of Muslims to Yathrib where they had allies was already very bad news for the Qurayshites. This could yet get much worse if Muhammad also would move to that city. They decided that they had no other option but to kill him. The various clans of the tribe of Quraysh agreed to act as one and assassinate the Prophet while asleep. The idea behind acting collectively was that no one party could be blamed for the killing and become embroiled in a war of vengeance with the clan of Hashim. The assassination plan, however, was sabotaged by divine intervention. The night the murder was planned to take place, Allah informed His Prophet of the danger and ordered him to secretly leave Mecca and head to the city of Yathrib. The latter became known as "al-Madina al-Munawwara" (the illuminated city), or "al-Madina" for brief, after the arrival of the Prophet. This famous event, known as the "Hijra " (immigration), occurred in 622 CE, about twelve years after the revelation of the first verses of the Qur'an. This flight was destined to have far-reaching consequences in establishing the Islamic community, strengthening the position of Islam, and spreading its message. The Prophet lived in al-Madina for about ten years. By the time of his departure from this world in 632 CE, Islam had become well established as the religion of the Arabian Peninsula and had made inroads in neighboring regions; Muslims had become a major force to be reckoned with in the area. There are a number of good, detailed English biographies of Prophet Muhammad. One biography written by a non-Muslim is Karen Armstrong's Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet (London: Phoenix Press, 2001). Another one written by a Muslim is Martin Lings' Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources (Inner Traditions Intl Ltd, 1987). For easy reference, this is a short chronology of major events in the life of Prophet Muhammad:
Date (CE)
Event
570
Birth of the Prophet in Mecca. His father was already dead when he was born.
575-576

615
The tribe of Quraysh imposed economic and social sanctions on Muslims and the clan of Prophet Muhammad, Hashim.
618-619
The collapse of the sanctions.

No one in history has his biography written minute by minute like prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The minute he was telling people that he was conducted by an angel of God they went back to search for his life before the message and after the message they put him under the microscope. Muslims did that because they wanted to know all the revelation of God and know every thing of their religion. Heaven and earth in the time of the prophet were really well connected and not like you to look at the far stars and you wonder ab0ut the universe. For them the connection did happen through prophet Muhammad and the creator of the universe talked to them through the Quran that was inspired through the Angel Gabriel and the uttered words of own Muhammad words either inspired or accepted by God and in rare occasions corrected by God. For the enemies of the Islam either hypocrites and non-believers they put Muhammad under the microscope to see if they can refute his message. In most part their answer was like that: you are a liar though we do not have proof but you are a liar. Most of them knew deep inside themselves that he is not a liar but the jealous and hate of truth and likely the whispers of Satan made them to reject Muhammad and the Quran.

فيديو.. مدير أمن البحيرة السابق أمام الجنايات السبت بتهمة قتل شهداء الثورة
ذكر مركز النديم أن مدير أمن البحيرة السابق مجدي أبو قمرة سيحاكم السبت المقبل بمحكمة جنايات دمنهور بتهمة التحريض على قتل الشهداء.
وكان أبو قمرة قال في مقطع فيديو انتشر عبر الفيس بوك وتوتير واليوتيوب خلال لقائه مع ضباط الشرطة وأمن الدولة المنحل داخل مديرية الأمن بدمنهور إن الشرطة هي أسياد المواطنين واللي يمد ايده على سيده نقطعها.
وتظاهر الآلاف عقب صلاة الجمعة التالية لانتشار الفيديو أمام مقر أمن الدولة بمدينة دمنهور للتنديد بخطاب أبو قمر والمطالبة بمحاكمته ومحاكمته قياداته بالبحيرة عما ارتكبوه من انتهاكات خطيرة في حقوق المواطنين خلال العهد السابق.
وكان المركز المصري للحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية قدم بلاغا ضد مدير أمن دمنهور اللواء مجدي أبو قمره، مطالباً بمحاكمة الرئيس المخلوع حسنى مبارك ووزير داخليته السابق حبيب العادلي ومفتش مباحث أمن الدولة ورئيس مباحث قسم دمنهور ومساعديه، ورئيس إدارة البحث الجنائي بالبحيرة، بتهمة ارتكاب جرائم القتل العمد والتحريض على قتل أكثر من 12 شهيداً يوم 28 يناير "جمعة الغضب".
وأوضح البلاغ الذي حمل رقم 2501 أنه بتاريخ 28/1/2011، جمعة الغضب، إلى أنه في هذا اليوم استشهد العديد من الشباب بمحافظة البحيرة على يد المشكو في حقهم ومن بينهم (بهاء الدين زغلول الجروانى، محمد سامي عبد المنعم السيد، حسن محمد حسن الشهاوى، محمد إيهاب النجار، أحمد عبد القادر أحمد حسب الله، محمد سامي الديب، أحمد عبد الفتاح بحر، طارق عبد ربه عبد العزيز، إسلام محمد عيد السمديسى، محمد إبراهيم، سالم عبد الونيس فضل الله، عارف أبو عجيلة السيد)، وقال البلاغ أن ضباط القسم استخدموا الرصاص الحي في مواجهة المتظاهرين بعد تلقيهم أوامر مباشرة من اللواء حبيب العادلي وزير الداخلية السابق واللواء مجدي أبو قمره مدير أمن البحيرة.

كريستيان ساينس مونيتور:انقسام داخل الجيش السورى بسبب القمع الوحشى للمتظاهرين
أفادت مصادر حقوقية سورية بتجدد إطلاق النار على درعا صباح الثلاثاء، وقال ناشط حقوقي إنه سمع صوت إطلاق نار في المدينة، متزامناً مع عملية واسعة يقوم بها الجيش السوري في المدينة.
وقال الناشط خلال اتصال هاتفي مع وكالة الأنباء الفرنسية إن "إطلاق النار مستمر على السكان".
وأضاف أن منزل مفتي درعا الذي استقال يوم السبت الماضي احتجاجاً على قمع الحركة الاحتجاجية في درعا، "مطوق صباح اليوم (الثلاثاء) لكن المفتي ليس موجوداً في منزله".
وقال إن "تعزيزات جديدة من قوى الأمن والجيش دخلت درعا. هناك دبابة في ساحة كازية البلد في وسط درعا".
وأوضح أن "مسجد أبوبكر الصديق يتعرض لنيران كثيفة ويتمركز قناصة فوق مسجد بلال الحبشي. ونشرت دبابات وأقيمت حواجز عند مداخل المدينة" ويمنع الناس من دخول المدينة.
وتابع أن "جنوداً من الفرقة الخامسة انشقوا وانضموا إلينا ويتواجهون" مع الجيش الذي يحاصر درعا.
وقال الناشط إن لديه قائمة بأسماء 25 شخصاً قتلوا أمس الاثنين في درعا.
هذا وأعلن مركز حقوقي سوري أن قوات الامن ألقت القبض على نحو 500 شخص في أرجاء سوريا خلال الساعات الماضية.
وكان آلاف من الجنود السوريين المدعومين بالدبابات قد دخلوا درعا أمش الاثنين لقمع حركة الاحتجاج.
وأشار الجيش السوري لسقوط عدد من القتلى والجرحي في صفوف الجيش، وفي صفوف من يصفهم بـ"المجموعات الإرهابية".
وذكرت السلطات السورية أن الجيش دخل درعا استجابة لاستغاثات المواطنين والأهالي، وأضافت أن هذا التحرك يهدف إلى ملاحقة "المجموعات الإرهابية المتطرفة".
قصف بدرعا وحصار على حمص
قال شاهد عيان من مدينة درعا للجزيرة إن المدينة تتعرض منذ فجر أمس لقصف شديد، الأمر الذي أسفر عن سقوط أكثر من 20 قتيلا بينهم العديد من النساء والأطفال، فيما يعيش سكان مدينة حمص حالة خوف من تعرضهم لـ"مجزرة"، في ظل الحصار الأمني المطبق المفروض على المدينة.
وقال الشاهد إن قوات الجيش قامت بتدمير خزان المياه في المدينة، لتفاقم معاناة السكان الذين يعيشون بلا كهرباء ولا ماء ولا اتصالات منذ فجر أمس الاثنين، فيما يستخدم بعضهم أرقام هواتف أردنية.
وأكد أكثر من شاهد عيان للجزيرة أن عددا من ضباط الجيش والعسكريين انضموا بأسلحتهم لصفوف المواطنين في المدينة، بعد يوم دام سقط فيه العشرات من أبناء المدينة.
وبدوره برر مصدر عسكري مسؤول دخول وحدات من الجيش لمدينة درعا بأنه استجابة لاستغاثة المواطنين، ووضع حد لعمليات القتل والتخريب التي تقوم بها من سماها مجموعات إرهابية متطرفة.
وأسفرت العملية -بحسب المصدر ذاته- عن سقوط قتلى وجرحى في صفوف الجيش والأمن وعناصر تلك الجماعات.
وكانت مصادر قريبة من الحكومة قد تحدثت عن مقتل تسعة من قوات الجيش -بينهم ضباط- على أيدي من سمتهم "المندسين" على الطريق السريع بين درعا ودمشق، في هجوم على قافلة عسكرية.
وعلى صعيد آخر، وفي سياق تطبيق المرسوم الرئاسي القاضي بإنهاء قانون الطوارئ في سوريا، ذكرت وكالة الأنباء السورية أن وزارة الداخلية أوعزت لجميع قيادات الشرطة والإدارات المعنية بتقديم كافة الموقوفين عرفياً إلى القضاء.
انضمام جنود للمتظاهرين
وفي تطور آخر أكد شاهد عيان في اتصال هاتفي مع الجزيرة نت أن نحو ثلاثة ضباط وخمسة عسكريين أعلنوا صباح اليوم انضمامهم لصفوف المواطنين، وقاموا بالتصدي للقوات الأمنية والقناصة الذين وجهوا بنادقهم باتجاه صدور المواطنين العارية.
وقال الشاهد إن أهالي المدينة يعيشون حالة مأساوية في ظل انقطاع الكهرباء والماء والاتصالات، فيما تواصل القوات الأمنية فرض حالة حظر للتجول، ويستهدف القناصة، الذين اعتلوا أسطح العديد من المباني، أي مواطن يخرج للشارع.
وكانت درعا قد عاشت يوما دمويا أمس، بعد أن دخلتها قوات الأمن مدعومة بمدرعات ودبابات فجر أمس الاثنين، وسط إطلاق كثيف للنيران.
وتضاربت المصادر حول عدد قتلى الأمس، وقد تراوحت هذه الأعداد ما بين 39 و18 شخصا، في ظل حالة التعتيم الإعلامي الشديد الذي تفرضه السلطات على ما يجري في المدينة، وقطع كل وسائل الاتصال مع سكانها.
وتعرضت المدينة لقصف جوي شاركت فيه قوات تابعة لفرقة من الجيش يقودها ماهر الأسد، شقيق الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد.
وأكد شهود عيان تحدثوا لفضائية "الجزيرة" أمس أن القناصة الذين انتشروا على أسطح المباني، وجهوا بنادقهم باتجاه كل من يخرج للشارع، محاولا سحب الجثث التي شوهد العديد منها مسجى في الشوارع، فيما منعت قوات الأمن سيارات الإسعاف من الوصول إلى القتلى أو إسعاف الجرحى.
كما أحكمت السيطرة على مداخل جامع أبو بكر الصديق ومسجد بلال الحبشي ومسجد المنصور، بالإضافة إلى مقبرة الشهداء.
ونقل مراسل الجزيرة في الأردن حسن الشوبكي عن شهود عيان من قرى أردنية قريبة جدا من الحدود السورية، قولهم إنهم سمعوا أصوات القصف بالمدفعية في عدة مناطق من مدينة درعا.
توتر بمدن أخرى
وفيما سقط نحو 13 شخصا بمدينة اللاذقية وبلدة جبلة برصاص قوات الأمن، انتشرت أعداد كبيرة من قوات الأمن في مدينة حمص وحاصرتها من كل الجوانب.
وقال شاهد عيان إن الجيش أقام متاريس في بعض الشوارع في حمص، فيما يعيش الأهالي حالة خوف وهلع شديدين، خوفا من "مجزرة مثل التي وقعت في درعا".
اعتقال 500 في حملة قمع
فى سياق متصل، اعلن مركز سواسية لحقوق الانسان الثلاثاء، إن قوات الامن السورية ألقت القبض على حوالي 500 من انصار الحركة المطالبة بالديمقراطية في ارجاء سوريا بعد أن ارسلت الحكومة دبابات لمحاولة اخماد احتجاجات في مدينة درعا.
واضافت المنظمة المستقلة انها تلقت تقارير بأن 20 شخصا على الاقل قتلوا في درعا منذ ان دخلتها الدبابات الاثنين ، لكن الاتصالات مع المدينة الواقعة في جنوب سوريا -حيث بدأت الاحتجاجات ضد الرئيس بشار الاسد في 18 مارس، مقطوعة وهو ما يجعل من الصعب الحصول على تأكيد لتلك المعلومات.
وتابع مسئول في سواسية "ان مدنيين اثنين توفيا في ضاحية دوما بالعاصمة السورية التي دخلتها القوات في وقت سابق من الاثنين".
وقالت منظمة العفو الدولية نقلا عن مصادر في درعا ان 23 شخصا على الاقل قتلوا عندما قصفت دبابات المدينة فيما وصفته المنظمة بانه "رد فعل وحشي على مطالب الناس".
وفى هذا الصدد ، قال مالكولم سمارت مدير الشرق الاوسط وشمال افريقيا في العفو الدولية "باللجوء الي استخدام المدفعية ضد شعبها اليوم فان الحكومة السورية أظهرت تصميمها على سحق الاحتجاجات السلمية بأي تكلفة ومهما كان الثمن من أرواح السوريين".
وكانت قوات حكومية قد اقتحمت ايضا ضاحيتي دوما والمعضمية في دمشق الاثنين، حيث اطلقت النار وقامت باعتقالات بعد يوم من اجتياحها بلدة جبلة الساحلية، حيث قتل 13 مدنيا على الاقل .
ومن جانبه، قال وزير الخارجية البريطاني وليام هيج الثلاثاء "تعمل المملكة المتحدة بشكل مكثف مع شركائنا الدوليين لاقناع السلطات السورية بوقف العنف واحترام الحقوق الانسانية الاساسية والعالمية في حرية التعبير والتجمع.
وأضاف "هذا يشمل العمل مع شركائنا في مجلس الامن التابع للامم المتحدة لارسال اشارة قوية للسلطات السورية تفيد بأن أعين المجتمع الدولي مسلطة على سوريا وكذلك العمل مع شركائنا في الاتحاد الاوروبي والمنطقة بشأن امكانية اتخاذ مزيد من الاجراءات".
و ذكرت صحيفة "لوس انجلوس تايمز" الامريكية الثلاثاء، ان ادارة الرئيس باراك اوباما تعد حاليا لاتخاذ اولى خطواتها الملموسة ضد الرئيس السورى بشار الاسد وكبار مسئوليه العسكريين وتتمثل فى فرض عقوبات بسبب القمع الدموى المتزايد للمتظاهرين.
ونقلت الصحيفة، فى تقرير اوردته على موقعها الالكترونى الثلاثاء عن مسئولين بادارة اوباما قولهم، انهم يعدون لاوامر من شأنها تجميد اصول امريكية لمسئولين سوريين رفيعى المستوى ومنع التصريح لهم بالسفر الى الولايات المتحدة.
كما نقلت الصحيفة عن مسئولين اوربيين قولهم انهم ينظرون فى خطوات ضد نظام الاسد ، وان المسئولين السوريين يحتفظون باستثمارات اكبر بكثير فى اوربا عنها فى الولايات المتحدة ومن ثم سيكون للعقوبات الاقتصادية او حظر السفر الى هناك تأثيرا مباشرا اكبر.
من ناحية اخرى ، قالت وزارة الخارجية الامريكية انها أمرت بعض الموظفين غير الاساسيين في سفارة الولايات المتحدة في دمشق وجميع اسر العاملين بها بمغادرة سوريا بسبب حالة الاضطراب التى تسود البلاد الان.
تدخل جراحى
إلى ذلك، نقلت صحيفة "الوطن" السورية شبه الحكومية الثلاثاء، عن مسئول سوري قوله، إن السلطات حسمت أمرها واتخذت قرارها بفرض الأمن والاستقرار، مشبهاً ما يحصل بالعمل الجراحي الدقيق، وفق كذبه.
لكن المصدر أكد أن هذا العمل الجراحي لن يوقف تطبيق الإصلاحات وتفعيلها والسير بحزمة جديدة من القوانين ستصدر قريباً، ولم تكن أصلاً في طروحات من طالب بالإصلاح، حسب الصحيفة.
مظاهرة أمام سفارة سوريا بالقاهرة
تظاهر الثلاثاء نحو 300 متظاهر أمام السفارة السورية بالقاهرة احتجاجًا على اقتحام الأمن السوري والجيش مدينة درعا جنوب البلاد والتي بهدت أعنف احتجاجات ضد نظام الرئيس بشار الأسد بالمدرعات وسقوط عشرات الشهداء.
وتجمع المتظاهرون وهم مصريون وسوريون يعيشون في مصر أمام سينما التحرير ثم تحركوا نحو السفارة التي كانت تصدح منها أغانٍ تمتدح الأسد عبر مكبرات صوت، ما أثار غضب المتظاهرين الذين بدأوا في ترديد هتافات غاضبة ضد السفير السوري في القاهرة يوسف الأحمد إلى أن أوقفت السفارة الأغنيات التي تبثها.
وطالب المتظاهرون برحيل الأسد وإسقاط النظام ورددوا هتافات "الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام" و"الشعب يريد إسقاط بشار". وكما أدوا صلاة الغائب على أرواح شهداء الاحتجاجات في سوريا.
وشوهدت 3 سيارات أمن مركزي بالقرب من السفارة، وقال شهود عيان إنهم شاهدوا ضباط سابقين بأمن الدولة يعرفونهم من أيام الانتخابات البرلمانية.
وكانت الدعوة للتظاهر أمام السفارة انتشرت الاثنين على الشبكات الاجتماعية بعد مداهمة السلطات السورية مدينة درعا بالدبابات والمدرعات، وورود أنباء عن سقوط 25 قتيلا على الأقل بدرعا، و13 بجبلة، و12 في المعضمية، فضلا عن اعتقال 500 مواطن في مداهمات بمختلف المدن السورية.
تحركات سياسية دولية ضد سوريا
ودعت الولايات المتحدة رعاياها إلى مغادرة سوريا وخاصة عائلات مبعوثيها الدبلوماسيين وموظفي السفارة غير الأساسيين، معلنة تخفيض حجم بعثتها في دمشق وإخلاء جزئيا للسفارة. ويأتي ذلك في ظل توجهات لإدانة دولية لسوريا بسبب ما وصف بقمعها للاحتجاجات التي تشهدها البلاد.
وقالت الخارجية الأميركية إنها أمرت بعض الموظفين غير الأساسيين بسفارتها في دمشق وجميع أسر العاملين بالسفارة بمغادرة البلاد بسبب "حالة عدم اليقين والاضطراب". كما نصحت مواطنيها في سوريا بمغادرتها، وطلبت من الأميركيين عدم السفر إلى هناك.
وفي بيان أصدرته في وقت متأخر من مساء الاثنين، نبهت الوزارة مواطنيها في سوريا بأن محاولات حكومة دمشق تحميل جهات خارجية مسؤولية الاضطرابات التي تشهدها البلاد حاليا ربما تؤدي إلي زيادة المشاعر المعادية للأجانب، وقد يواجه الأميركيون الذين يتم اعتقالهم تهما بالتجسس.
في الوقت نفسه، أوضحت الخارجية الأمريكية أن سفارتها في دمشق ستبقى مفتوحة "لكن لتأدية خدمات محدودة".
وبالتوازي مع ذلك فقد أعلن مسؤول أميركي أن الخارجية استدعت السفير السوري لدى واشنطن عماد مصطفى للاحتجاج على استخدام العنف ضد المتظاهرين.
عقوبات منتقاة
وجاءت هذه الخطوة بعد ساعات من إعلان البيت الأبيض أن واشنطن تدرس جملة خيارات تتعلق بالأوضاع في سوريا بينها فرض "عقوبات منتقاة" رداً على ما تصفه إدارة الرئيس باراك أوباما بأعمال قمع وقتل المحتجين.
كما قال مسئول أمريكي أمس إن بلاده تدرس فرض عقوبات ضد مسئولين بالحكومة السورية لزيادة الضغوط على الرئيس بشار الأسد من أجل إنهاء حملة العنف ضد المحتجين.
ومن جانبه أدان الناطق باسم مجلس الأمن القومي الأميركي تومي فيتور ما وصفه بـ"العنف الوحشي الذي تستخدمه السلطات السورية ضد الشعب" مؤكدا أن عليها أن تستمع لمطالب الشعب، ومضيفا أن العقوبات التي تدرسها بلاده تهدف لإيصال رسالة مفادها أن السلوك الذي تتعامل به تلك السلطات مع المحتجين غير مقبول.
أوباما وأردوغان
في الوقت نفسه، أكد البيت الأبيض أن أوباما بحث الأوضاع في سوريا خلال اتصال هاتفي مع رئيس الوزراء التركي رجب طيب أردوغان حيث عبر عن القلق العميق من استخدام دمشق للعنف، واتفقا على أنه يتعين عليها "أن تنهي استخدام العنف الآن، وأن تنفذ على الفور إصلاحات ذات مغزى تحترم التطلعات الديمقراطية للمواطنين السوريين".
وتشير وكالة "رويترز" إلى أن رد أوباما على ما يجري في سوريا اقتصر حتى الآن على التصريحات شديدة اللهجة دون أن يتضمن إجراء ملموسا يُذكر ضد الحكومة السورية، في تباين مع ما تقوم به واشنطن من دور في الحملة الجوية التي ينفذها حلف شمال الأطلسي (ناتو) ضد قوات العقيد معمر القذافي في ليبيا.
وتضيف أن واشنطن تضع بحسبانها قدرتها المحدودة على التأثير على دمشق التي تربطها علاقات وثيقة بإيران، كما أنها تلزم الحذر بشأن أي تدخل عسكري آخر بالعالم الإسلامي الذي تخوض فيه حربين بالفعل بالعراق وأفغانستان.
مشروع قرار
في الأثناء، أعلن دبلوماسيون أمميون أن أربع دول أوروبية هي بريطانيا وفرنسا وألمانيا والبرتغال تروج داخل مجلس الأمن الدولي لمشروع قرار يدين قمع المتظاهرين في سوريا، بهدف زيادة الضغوط على النظام السوري.
وكانت مفوضة الأمم المتحدة لحقوق الإنسان نافي بيلاي قد استنكرت أمس قمع الحكومة السورية المتزايد والعنيف للمتظاهرين السلميين في البلاد، ودعتها للوقف الفوري لاستخدام القوة المفرطة الذي تكثف خلال الأيام الأخيرة.
وذكر مكتب المفوضة إنه تلقى لائحة باسم 76 شخصاً قتلوا خلال مظاهرات يوم الجمعة الماضي بسوريا، لكنه لفت إلى أن العدد قد يكون أكبر بكثير، مشيرا إلى أنه تلقى تقارير عن مقتل ما لا يقل عن 13 شخصاً في جنازات تشييع القتلى السبت.
وفي ردود الفعل الشعبية دوليا، شهدت الجزائر تجمع عشرات من السوريين والجزائريين أمام السفارة السورية بالجزائر العاصمة, للتنديد بما سموها المجازر التي ترتكبها قوات الأمن بحق المواطنين العزل, مطالبين برحيل الرئيس بشار الأسد.
كما شهدت إسطنبول التركية مظاهرات مماثلة، حيث عبر تجمع مواطنين أمام القنصلية السورية بالمدينة للتنديد بما وصفوها بالمجازر التي يتعرض لها الشعب السوري، حيث قاموا بحرق صور لبشار الأسد ورددوا هتافات تطالب بخروجه من سوريا وترك الشعب يقرر مصيره بنفسه.
يأتي هذا فيما أمرت وزارة الخارجية الأمريكية جميع أسر العاملين بسفارتها في دمشق وبعض الموظفين غير الأساسيين، اليوم الثلاثاء 26-4-2011، بمغادرة سوريا، وذلك بسبب ما وصفته بحالة عدم اليقين والاضطراب في ذلك البلد، واستدعت الخارجية السفير السوري لدى واشنطن، عماد مصطفى، لإبلاغه بالاحتجاج على استخدام العنف ضد المتظاهرين في سوريا.
وكان البيت الأبيض قال إن الإدارة الأمريكية تبحث فرض عقوبات على الحكومة السورية رداً على أعمال القمع العنيفة ضد المحتجين.
أجراءات جديدة
من جانبها، قالت بريطانيا الثلاثاء 26-4-2011 إنها تعمل مع شركائها الدوليين بشأن إمكانية اتخاذ إجراءات جديدة ضد سوريا.
ودعت الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد لوقف الهجمات على المحتجين المناهضين للحكومة.
وقال وزير الخارجية البريطاني وليام هيغ "تعمل المملكة المتحدة بشكل مكثف مع شركائنا الدوليين لإقناع السلطات السورية بوقف العنف واحترام الحقوق الإنسانية الأساسية والعالمية في حرية التعبير والتجمع".
وأضاف أن "هذا يشمل العمل مع شركائنا في مجلس الأمن التابع للأمم المتحدة، لإرسال إشارة قوية للسلطات السورية تفيد بأن أعين المجتمع الدولي مسلطة على سوريا، وكذلك العمل مع شركائنا في الاتحاد الأوروبي والمنطقة بشأن إمكانية اتخاذ مزيد من الإجراءات".
يأتي ذلك فيما أعلن دبلوماسيون في الأمم المتحدة أمس أن بريطانيا وفرنسا وألمانيا والبرتغال يروجون داخل مجلس الأمن الدولي لمشروع إدانة للقمع الدامي للتظاهرات في سوريا.
وأشار دبلوماسي طلب عدم كشف اسمه إلى أن مشروع الإعلان هذا يمكن أن يتم نشره على الملأ الثلاثاء إذا ما توصل الأعضاء الـ15 داخل مجلس الأمن إلى اتفاق بالإجماع.
وقال هذا الدبلوماسي لفرانس برس إن "الإعلان المشترك يندد بالعنف ويوجه نداء بضبط النفس".
دعوة دولية للتحقيق
ويأتي موقف الدول المذكورة دعماً للدعوة التي أطلقها الجمعة الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة بان كي مون إلى إجراء تحقيق "شفاف" بعد مقتل متظاهرين في سوريا خلال الأسابيع الماضية.
وأضاف المبعوث الدولي أن الدول الأربع تشيد أيضاً بمبادرة الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد لرفع قانون حالة الطوارئ الذي كان سارياً منذ خمسين عاماً في البلاد، كما تشير إلى أهمية سوريا لاستقرار الشرق الأوسط.
وأوضح دبلوماسي في الأمم المتحدة أن وضع سوريا يختلف عن ليبيا التي طالب ممثلوها في المنظمة الدولية، المنشقون عن النظام، مجلس الأمن الدولي بإدانة أعمال العنف في البلاد وفرض عقوبات على الزعيم الليبي معمر القذافي وأركان نظامه.
وأضاف هذا الدبلوماسي "يجب رؤية ما يرغب مجلس الأمن بفعله في موضوع سوريا. لسنا أمام وضع مماثل لليبيا. ثمة احتمال ضئيل بأن تبدي روسيا حماساً كبيراً للقيام بخطوات تصعيدية بحق بلد ذات سيادة".
ولفتت الأوساط الدبلوماسية إلى أن الفارق الآخر مع الوضع الليبي هو أن الشعب لم يبادر إلى حمل الأسلحة لمقاتلة النظام.
انقسام داخل الجيش السورى
اعتبرت صحيفة "كريستيان ساينس مونيتور" الامريكية أن رفض جنود سوريين إطلاق النار على المتظاهرين هو أول مؤشر يعكس وجود انقسام داخل المؤسسة العسكرية السورية منذ بداية الانتفاضة الشعبية ضد نظام الرئيس السورى بشار الأسد.
وقالت الصحيفة، فى سياق تقرير بثته على موقعها الالكترونى اليوم الاثنين"إن قوات الامن السورية أطلقت عملية عسكرية فى العديد من المناطق الساخنة فى المدن السورية فجر الاثنين ، مغلقة الحدود مع الاردن، ومستخدمة الدبابات والذخيرة الحية لتفريق المتظاهرين ومعتقلة من تشتبه بهم، وذلك وفقا لروايات شهود عيان
وناشطين"، مشيرة إلى أن وحدات فى الجيش اشتبكت مع بعضها البعض فى درعا، عندما رفض جنود فتح النار على المتظاهرين.
وذكرت الصحيفة أن هذا النبأ جاء بعد أن تواترت بعض التقارير عن اعتقال مسئولين عسكريين لتعاطفهم مع المتظاهرين ، وهو ما أكده ناشطون من المعارضة. ورأت الصحيفة إن أى انقسام داخل الجيش، الذى يعتبر هو إلى جانب جهاز المخابرات، أداتى النظام الاساسيتين لتنفيذ ارادتها، قد يمثل تحديا غير مسبوق لحكم عائلة الاسد المستمر لسوريا منذ حوالى أربعة عقود.
وقالت الصحيفة إن القمع المكثف للمظاهرات يوم الاثنين ، بعد أسوأ عنف احتجاجى شهدته سوريا، وسقوط أكثر من 120 قتيلا منذ يوم الجمعة الماضى، يبدو أنه أزعج بشدة الولايات المتحدة ودفعها نحو النظر فى فرض عقوبات ضد مسئولين سوريين.
ومضت الصحيفة تقول أنه بحلول فجر الاثنين، قام حوالى ثلاثة الاف جندى تدعمهم المركبات المصفحة باجتياح مدينة درعا، التى انطلقت منها الاحتجاجات، وفتحت النار فى جميع الاتجاهات لتقتل ما يتراوح بين 5 و20 شخصا، وبعد ذلك اغلقت السلطات الحدود مع الاردن، الواقعة على مسافة 5ر2 ميل إلى الاتجاه الجنوبى الغربى للمدينة الصامدة التى قطعت عنها حتى الاتصالات التليفونية والكهرباء.

أفادت مصادر حقوقية سورية بتجدد إطلاق النار على درعا صباح الثلاثاء، وقال ناشط حقوقي إنه سمع صوت إطلاق نار في المدينة، متزامناً مع عملية واسعة يقوم بها الجيش السوري في المدينة.
وقال الناشط خلال اتصال هاتفي مع وكالة الأنباء الفرنسية إن "إطلاق النار مستمر على السكان".
وأضاف أن منزل مفتي درعا الذي استقال يوم السبت الماضي احتجاجاً على قمع الحركة الاحتجاجية في درعا، "مطوق صباح اليوم (الثلاثاء) لكن المفتي ليس موجوداً في منزله".
وقال إن "تعزيزات جديدة من قوى الأمن والجيش دخلت درعا. هناك دبابة في ساحة كازية البلد في وسط درعا".
وأوضح أن "مسجد أبوبكر الصديق يتعرض لنيران كثيفة ويتمركز قناصة فوق مسجد بلال الحبشي. ونشرت دبابات وأقيمت حواجز عند مداخل المدينة" ويمنع الناس من دخول المدينة.
وتابع أن "جنوداً من الفرقة الخامسة انشقوا وانضموا إلينا ويتواجهون" مع الجيش الذي يحاصر درعا.
وقال الناشط إن لديه قائمة بأسماء 25 شخصاً قتلوا أمس الاثنين في درعا.
هذا وأعلن مركز حقوقي سوري أن قوات الامن ألقت القبض على نحو 500 شخص في أرجاء سوريا خلال الساعات الماضية.
وكان آلاف من الجنود السوريين المدعومين بالدبابات قد دخلوا درعا أمش الاثنين لقمع حركة الاحتجاج.
وأشار الجيش السوري لسقوط عدد من القتلى والجرحي في صفوف الجيش، وفي صفوف من يصفهم بـ"المجموعات الإرهابية".
وذكرت السلطات السورية أن الجيش دخل درعا استجابة لاستغاثات المواطنين والأهالي، وأضافت أن هذا التحرك يهدف إلى ملاحقة "المجموعات الإرهابية المتطرفة".
قصف بدرعا وحصار على حمص
قال شاهد عيان من مدينة درعا للجزيرة إن المدينة تتعرض منذ فجر أمس لقصف شديد، الأمر الذي أسفر عن سقوط أكثر من 20 قتيلا بينهم العديد من النساء والأطفال، فيما يعيش سكان مدينة حمص حالة خوف من تعرضهم لـ"مجزرة"، في ظل الحصار الأمني المطبق المفروض على المدينة.
وقال الشاهد إن قوات الجيش قامت بتدمير خزان المياه في المدينة، لتفاقم معاناة السكان الذين يعيشون بلا كهرباء ولا ماء ولا اتصالات منذ فجر أمس الاثنين، فيما يستخدم بعضهم أرقام هواتف أردنية.
وأكد أكثر من شاهد عيان للجزيرة أن عددا من ضباط الجيش والعسكريين انضموا بأسلحتهم لصفوف المواطنين في المدينة، بعد يوم دام سقط فيه العشرات من أبناء المدينة.
وبدوره برر مصدر عسكري مسؤول دخول وحدات من الجيش لمدينة درعا بأنه استجابة لاستغاثة المواطنين، ووضع حد لعمليات القتل والتخريب التي تقوم بها من سماها مجموعات إرهابية متطرفة.
وأسفرت العملية -بحسب المصدر ذاته- عن سقوط قتلى وجرحى في صفوف الجيش والأمن وعناصر تلك الجماعات.
وكانت مصادر قريبة من الحكومة قد تحدثت عن مقتل تسعة من قوات الجيش -بينهم ضباط- على أيدي من سمتهم "المندسين" على الطريق السريع بين درعا ودمشق، في هجوم على قافلة عسكرية.
وعلى صعيد آخر، وفي سياق تطبيق المرسوم الرئاسي القاضي بإنهاء قانون الطوارئ في سوريا، ذكرت وكالة الأنباء السورية أن وزارة الداخلية أوعزت لجميع قيادات الشرطة والإدارات المعنية بتقديم كافة الموقوفين عرفياً إلى القضاء.
انضمام جنود للمتظاهرين
وفي تطور آخر أكد شاهد عيان في اتصال هاتفي مع الجزيرة نت أن نحو ثلاثة ضباط وخمسة عسكريين أعلنوا صباح اليوم انضمامهم لصفوف المواطنين، وقاموا بالتصدي للقوات الأمنية والقناصة الذين وجهوا بنادقهم باتجاه صدور المواطنين العارية.
وقال الشاهد إن أهالي المدينة يعيشون حالة مأساوية في ظل انقطاع الكهرباء والماء والاتصالات، فيما تواصل القوات الأمنية فرض حالة حظر للتجول، ويستهدف القناصة، الذين اعتلوا أسطح العديد من المباني، أي مواطن يخرج للشارع.
وكانت درعا قد عاشت يوما دمويا أمس، بعد أن دخلتها قوات الأمن مدعومة بمدرعات ودبابات فجر أمس الاثنين، وسط إطلاق كثيف للنيران.
وتضاربت المصادر حول عدد قتلى الأمس، وقد تراوحت هذه الأعداد ما بين 39 و18 شخصا، في ظل حالة التعتيم الإعلامي الشديد الذي تفرضه السلطات على ما يجري في المدينة، وقطع كل وسائل الاتصال مع سكانها.
وتعرضت المدينة لقصف جوي شاركت فيه قوات تابعة لفرقة من الجيش يقودها ماهر الأسد، شقيق الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد.
وأكد شهود عيان تحدثوا لفضائية "الجزيرة" أمس أن القناصة الذين انتشروا على أسطح المباني، وجهوا بنادقهم باتجاه كل من يخرج للشارع، محاولا سحب الجثث التي شوهد العديد منها مسجى في الشوارع، فيما منعت قوات الأمن سيارات الإسعاف من الوصول إلى القتلى أو إسعاف الجرحى.
كما أحكمت السيطرة على مداخل جامع أبو بكر الصديق ومسجد بلال الحبشي ومسجد المنصور، بالإضافة إلى مقبرة الشهداء.
ونقل مراسل الجزيرة في الأردن حسن الشوبكي عن شهود عيان من قرى أردنية قريبة جدا من الحدود السورية، قولهم إنهم سمعوا أصوات القصف بالمدفعية في عدة مناطق من مدينة درعا.
توتر بمدن أخرى
وفيما سقط نحو 13 شخصا بمدينة اللاذقية وبلدة جبلة برصاص قوات الأمن، انتشرت أعداد كبيرة من قوات الأمن في مدينة حمص وحاصرتها من كل الجوانب.
وقال شاهد عيان إن الجيش أقام متاريس في بعض الشوارع في حمص، فيما يعيش الأهالي حالة خوف وهلع شديدين، خوفا من "مجزرة مثل التي وقعت في درعا".
اعتقال 500 في حملة قمع
فى سياق متصل، اعلن مركز سواسية لحقوق الانسان الثلاثاء، إن قوات الامن السورية ألقت القبض على حوالي 500 من انصار الحركة المطالبة بالديمقراطية في ارجاء سوريا بعد أن ارسلت الحكومة دبابات لمحاولة اخماد احتجاجات في مدينة درعا.
واضافت المنظمة المستقلة انها تلقت تقارير بأن 20 شخصا على الاقل قتلوا في درعا منذ ان دخلتها الدبابات الاثنين ، لكن الاتصالات مع المدينة الواقعة في جنوب سوريا -حيث بدأت الاحتجاجات ضد الرئيس بشار الاسد في 18 مارس، مقطوعة وهو ما يجعل من الصعب الحصول على تأكيد لتلك المعلومات.
وتابع مسئول في سواسية "ان مدنيين اثنين توفيا في ضاحية دوما بالعاصمة السورية التي دخلتها القوات في وقت سابق من الاثنين".
وقالت منظمة العفو الدولية نقلا عن مصادر في درعا ان 23 شخصا على الاقل قتلوا عندما قصفت دبابات المدينة فيما وصفته المنظمة بانه "رد فعل وحشي على مطالب الناس".
وفى هذا الصدد ، قال مالكولم سمارت مدير الشرق الاوسط وشمال افريقيا في العفو الدولية "باللجوء الي استخدام المدفعية ضد شعبها اليوم فان الحكومة السورية أظهرت تصميمها على سحق الاحتجاجات السلمية بأي تكلفة ومهما كان الثمن من أرواح السوريين".
وكانت قوات حكومية قد اقتحمت ايضا ضاحيتي دوما والمعضمية في دمشق الاثنين، حيث اطلقت النار وقامت باعتقالات بعد يوم من اجتياحها بلدة جبلة الساحلية، حيث قتل 13 مدنيا على الاقل .
ومن جانبه، قال وزير الخارجية البريطاني وليام هيج الثلاثاء "تعمل المملكة المتحدة بشكل مكثف مع شركائنا الدوليين لاقناع السلطات السورية بوقف العنف واحترام الحقوق الانسانية الاساسية والعالمية في حرية التعبير والتجمع.
وأضاف "هذا يشمل العمل مع شركائنا في مجلس الامن التابع للامم المتحدة لارسال اشارة قوية للسلطات السورية تفيد بأن أعين المجتمع الدولي مسلطة على سوريا وكذلك العمل مع شركائنا في الاتحاد الاوروبي والمنطقة بشأن امكانية اتخاذ مزيد من الاجراءات".
و ذكرت صحيفة "لوس انجلوس تايمز" الامريكية الثلاثاء، ان ادارة الرئيس باراك اوباما تعد حاليا لاتخاذ اولى خطواتها الملموسة ضد الرئيس السورى بشار الاسد وكبار مسئوليه العسكريين وتتمثل فى فرض عقوبات بسبب القمع الدموى المتزايد للمتظاهرين.
ونقلت الصحيفة، فى تقرير اوردته على موقعها الالكترونى الثلاثاء عن مسئولين بادارة اوباما قولهم، انهم يعدون لاوامر من شأنها تجميد اصول امريكية لمسئولين سوريين رفيعى المستوى ومنع التصريح لهم بالسفر الى الولايات المتحدة.
كما نقلت الصحيفة عن مسئولين اوربيين قولهم انهم ينظرون فى خطوات ضد نظام الاسد ، وان المسئولين السوريين يحتفظون باستثمارات اكبر بكثير فى اوربا عنها فى الولايات المتحدة ومن ثم سيكون للعقوبات الاقتصادية او حظر السفر الى هناك تأثيرا مباشرا اكبر.
من ناحية اخرى ، قالت وزارة الخارجية الامريكية انها أمرت بعض الموظفين غير الاساسيين في سفارة الولايات المتحدة في دمشق وجميع اسر العاملين بها بمغادرة سوريا بسبب حالة الاضطراب التى تسود البلاد الان.
تدخل جراحى
إلى ذلك، نقلت صحيفة "الوطن" السورية شبه الحكومية الثلاثاء، عن مسئول سوري قوله، إن السلطات حسمت أمرها واتخذت قرارها بفرض الأمن والاستقرار، مشبهاً ما يحصل بالعمل الجراحي الدقيق، وفق كذبه.
لكن المصدر أكد أن هذا العمل الجراحي لن يوقف تطبيق الإصلاحات وتفعيلها والسير بحزمة جديدة من القوانين ستصدر قريباً، ولم تكن أصلاً في طروحات من طالب بالإصلاح، حسب الصحيفة.
مظاهرة أمام سفارة سوريا بالقاهرة
تظاهر الثلاثاء نحو 300 متظاهر أمام السفارة السورية بالقاهرة احتجاجًا على اقتحام الأمن السوري والجيش مدينة درعا جنوب البلاد والتي بهدت أعنف احتجاجات ضد نظام الرئيس بشار الأسد بالمدرعات وسقوط عشرات الشهداء.
وتجمع المتظاهرون وهم مصريون وسوريون يعيشون في مصر أمام سينما التحرير ثم تحركوا نحو السفارة التي كانت تصدح منها أغانٍ تمتدح الأسد عبر مكبرات صوت، ما أثار غضب المتظاهرين الذين بدأوا في ترديد هتافات غاضبة ضد السفير السوري في القاهرة يوسف الأحمد إلى أن أوقفت السفارة الأغنيات التي تبثها.
وطالب المتظاهرون برحيل الأسد وإسقاط النظام ورددوا هتافات "الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام" و"الشعب يريد إسقاط بشار". وكما أدوا صلاة الغائب على أرواح شهداء الاحتجاجات في سوريا.
وشوهدت 3 سيارات أمن مركزي بالقرب من السفارة، وقال شهود عيان إنهم شاهدوا ضباط سابقين بأمن الدولة يعرفونهم من أيام الانتخابات البرلمانية.
وكانت الدعوة للتظاهر أمام السفارة انتشرت الاثنين على الشبكات الاجتماعية بعد مداهمة السلطات السورية مدينة درعا بالدبابات والمدرعات، وورود أنباء عن سقوط 25 قتيلا على الأقل بدرعا، و13 بجبلة، و12 في المعضمية، فضلا عن اعتقال 500 مواطن في مداهمات بمختلف المدن السورية.
تحركات سياسية دولية ضد سوريا
ودعت الولايات المتحدة رعاياها إلى مغادرة سوريا وخاصة عائلات مبعوثيها الدبلوماسيين وموظفي السفارة غير الأساسيين، معلنة تخفيض حجم بعثتها في دمشق وإخلاء جزئيا للسفارة. ويأتي ذلك في ظل توجهات لإدانة دولية لسوريا بسبب ما وصف بقمعها للاحتجاجات التي تشهدها البلاد.
وقالت الخارجية الأميركية إنها أمرت بعض الموظفين غير الأساسيين بسفارتها في دمشق وجميع أسر العاملين بالسفارة بمغادرة البلاد بسبب "حالة عدم اليقين والاضطراب". كما نصحت مواطنيها في سوريا بمغادرتها، وطلبت من الأميركيين عدم السفر إلى هناك.
وفي بيان أصدرته في وقت متأخر من مساء الاثنين، نبهت الوزارة مواطنيها في سوريا بأن محاولات حكومة دمشق تحميل جهات خارجية مسؤولية الاضطرابات التي تشهدها البلاد حاليا ربما تؤدي إلي زيادة المشاعر المعادية للأجانب، وقد يواجه الأميركيون الذين يتم اعتقالهم تهما بالتجسس.
في الوقت نفسه، أوضحت الخارجية الأمريكية أن سفارتها في دمشق ستبقى مفتوحة "لكن لتأدية خدمات محدودة".
وبالتوازي مع ذلك فقد أعلن مسؤول أميركي أن الخارجية استدعت السفير السوري لدى واشنطن عماد مصطفى للاحتجاج على استخدام العنف ضد المتظاهرين.
عقوبات منتقاة
وجاءت هذه الخطوة بعد ساعات من إعلان البيت الأبيض أن واشنطن تدرس جملة خيارات تتعلق بالأوضاع في سوريا بينها فرض "عقوبات منتقاة" رداً على ما تصفه إدارة الرئيس باراك أوباما بأعمال قمع وقتل المحتجين.
كما قال مسئول أمريكي أمس إن بلاده تدرس فرض عقوبات ضد مسئولين بالحكومة السورية لزيادة الضغوط على الرئيس بشار الأسد من أجل إنهاء حملة العنف ضد المحتجين.
ومن جانبه أدان الناطق باسم مجلس الأمن القومي الأميركي تومي فيتور ما وصفه بـ"العنف الوحشي الذي تستخدمه السلطات السورية ضد الشعب" مؤكدا أن عليها أن تستمع لمطالب الشعب، ومضيفا أن العقوبات التي تدرسها بلاده تهدف لإيصال رسالة مفادها أن السلوك الذي تتعامل به تلك السلطات مع المحتجين غير مقبول.
أوباما وأردوغان
في الوقت نفسه، أكد البيت الأبيض أن أوباما بحث الأوضاع في سوريا خلال اتصال هاتفي مع رئيس الوزراء التركي رجب طيب أردوغان حيث عبر عن القلق العميق من استخدام دمشق للعنف، واتفقا على أنه يتعين عليها "أن تنهي استخدام العنف الآن، وأن تنفذ على الفور إصلاحات ذات مغزى تحترم التطلعات الديمقراطية للمواطنين السوريين".
وتشير وكالة "رويترز" إلى أن رد أوباما على ما يجري في سوريا اقتصر حتى الآن على التصريحات شديدة اللهجة دون أن يتضمن إجراء ملموسا يُذكر ضد الحكومة السورية، في تباين مع ما تقوم به واشنطن من دور في الحملة الجوية التي ينفذها حلف شمال الأطلسي (ناتو) ضد قوات العقيد معمر القذافي في ليبيا.
وتضيف أن واشنطن تضع بحسبانها قدرتها المحدودة على التأثير على دمشق التي تربطها علاقات وثيقة بإيران، كما أنها تلزم الحذر بشأن أي تدخل عسكري آخر بالعالم الإسلامي الذي تخوض فيه حربين بالفعل بالعراق وأفغانستان.
مشروع قرار
في الأثناء، أعلن دبلوماسيون أمميون أن أربع دول أوروبية هي بريطانيا وفرنسا وألمانيا والبرتغال تروج داخل مجلس الأمن الدولي لمشروع قرار يدين قمع المتظاهرين في سوريا، بهدف زيادة الضغوط على النظام السوري.
وكانت مفوضة الأمم المتحدة لحقوق الإنسان نافي بيلاي قد استنكرت أمس قمع الحكومة السورية المتزايد والعنيف للمتظاهرين السلميين في البلاد، ودعتها للوقف الفوري لاستخدام القوة المفرطة الذي تكثف خلال الأيام الأخيرة.
وذكر مكتب المفوضة إنه تلقى لائحة باسم 76 شخصاً قتلوا خلال مظاهرات يوم الجمعة الماضي بسوريا، لكنه لفت إلى أن العدد قد يكون أكبر بكثير، مشيرا إلى أنه تلقى تقارير عن مقتل ما لا يقل عن 13 شخصاً في جنازات تشييع القتلى السبت.
وفي ردود الفعل الشعبية دوليا، شهدت الجزائر تجمع عشرات من السوريين والجزائريين أمام السفارة السورية بالجزائر العاصمة, للتنديد بما سموها المجازر التي ترتكبها قوات الأمن بحق المواطنين العزل, مطالبين برحيل الرئيس بشار الأسد.
كما شهدت إسطنبول التركية مظاهرات مماثلة، حيث عبر تجمع مواطنين أمام القنصلية السورية بالمدينة للتنديد بما وصفوها بالمجازر التي يتعرض لها الشعب السوري، حيث قاموا بحرق صور لبشار الأسد ورددوا هتافات تطالب بخروجه من سوريا وترك الشعب يقرر مصيره بنفسه.
يأتي هذا فيما أمرت وزارة الخارجية الأمريكية جميع أسر العاملين بسفارتها في دمشق وبعض الموظفين غير الأساسيين، اليوم الثلاثاء 26-4-2011، بمغادرة سوريا، وذلك بسبب ما وصفته بحالة عدم اليقين والاضطراب في ذلك البلد، واستدعت الخارجية السفير السوري لدى واشنطن، عماد مصطفى، لإبلاغه بالاحتجاج على استخدام العنف ضد المتظاهرين في سوريا.
وكان البيت الأبيض قال إن الإدارة الأمريكية تبحث فرض عقوبات على الحكومة السورية رداً على أعمال القمع العنيفة ضد المحتجين.
أجراءات جديدة
من جانبها، قالت بريطانيا الثلاثاء 26-4-2011 إنها تعمل مع شركائها الدوليين بشأن إمكانية اتخاذ إجراءات جديدة ضد سوريا.
ودعت الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد لوقف الهجمات على المحتجين المناهضين للحكومة.
وقال وزير الخارجية البريطاني وليام هيغ "تعمل المملكة المتحدة بشكل مكثف مع شركائنا الدوليين لإقناع السلطات السورية بوقف العنف واحترام الحقوق الإنسانية الأساسية والعالمية في حرية التعبير والتجمع".
وأضاف أن "هذا يشمل العمل مع شركائنا في مجلس الأمن التابع للأمم المتحدة، لإرسال إشارة قوية للسلطات السورية تفيد بأن أعين المجتمع الدولي مسلطة على سوريا، وكذلك العمل مع شركائنا في الاتحاد الأوروبي والمنطقة بشأن إمكانية اتخاذ مزيد من الإجراءات".
يأتي ذلك فيما أعلن دبلوماسيون في الأمم المتحدة أمس أن بريطانيا وفرنسا وألمانيا والبرتغال يروجون داخل مجلس الأمن الدولي لمشروع إدانة للقمع الدامي للتظاهرات في سوريا.
وأشار دبلوماسي طلب عدم كشف اسمه إلى أن مشروع الإعلان هذا يمكن أن يتم نشره على الملأ الثلاثاء إذا ما توصل الأعضاء الـ15 داخل مجلس الأمن إلى اتفاق بالإجماع.
وقال هذا الدبلوماسي لفرانس برس إن "الإعلان المشترك يندد بالعنف ويوجه نداء بضبط النفس".
دعوة دولية للتحقيق
ويأتي موقف الدول المذكورة دعماً للدعوة التي أطلقها الجمعة الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة بان كي مون إلى إجراء تحقيق "شفاف" بعد مقتل متظاهرين في سوريا خلال الأسابيع الماضية.
وأضاف المبعوث الدولي أن الدول الأربع تشيد أيضاً بمبادرة الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد لرفع قانون حالة الطوارئ الذي كان سارياً منذ خمسين عاماً في البلاد، كما تشير إلى أهمية سوريا لاستقرار الشرق الأوسط.
وأوضح دبلوماسي في الأمم المتحدة أن وضع سوريا يختلف عن ليبيا التي طالب ممثلوها في المنظمة الدولية، المنشقون عن النظام، مجلس الأمن الدولي بإدانة أعمال العنف في البلاد وفرض عقوبات على الزعيم الليبي معمر القذافي وأركان نظامه.
وأضاف هذا الدبلوماسي "يجب رؤية ما يرغب مجلس الأمن بفعله في موضوع سوريا. لسنا أمام وضع مماثل لليبيا. ثمة احتمال ضئيل بأن تبدي روسيا حماساً كبيراً للقيام بخطوات تصعيدية بحق بلد ذات سيادة".
ولفتت الأوساط الدبلوماسية إلى أن الفارق الآخر مع الوضع الليبي هو أن الشعب لم يبادر إلى حمل الأسلحة لمقاتلة النظام.
انقسام داخل الجيش السورى
اعتبرت صحيفة "كريستيان ساينس مونيتور" الامريكية أن رفض جنود سوريين إطلاق النار على المتظاهرين هو أول مؤشر يعكس وجود انقسام داخل المؤسسة العسكرية السورية منذ بداية الانتفاضة الشعبية ضد نظام الرئيس السورى بشار الأسد.
وقالت الصحيفة، فى سياق تقرير بثته على موقعها الالكترونى اليوم الاثنين"إن قوات الامن السورية أطلقت عملية عسكرية فى العديد من المناطق الساخنة فى المدن السورية فجر الاثنين ، مغلقة الحدود مع الاردن، ومستخدمة الدبابات والذخيرة الحية لتفريق المتظاهرين ومعتقلة من تشتبه بهم، وذلك وفقا لروايات شهود عيان
وناشطين"، مشيرة إلى أن وحدات فى الجيش اشتبكت مع بعضها البعض فى درعا، عندما رفض جنود فتح النار على المتظاهرين.
وذكرت الصحيفة أن هذا النبأ جاء بعد أن تواترت بعض التقارير عن اعتقال مسئولين عسكريين لتعاطفهم مع المتظاهرين ، وهو ما أكده ناشطون من المعارضة. ورأت الصحيفة إن أى انقسام داخل الجيش، الذى يعتبر هو إلى جانب جهاز المخابرات، أداتى النظام الاساسيتين لتنفيذ ارادتها، قد يمثل تحديا غير مسبوق لحكم عائلة الاسد المستمر لسوريا منذ حوالى أربعة عقود.
وقالت الصحيفة إن القمع المكثف للمظاهرات يوم الاثنين ، بعد أسوأ عنف احتجاجى شهدته سوريا، وسقوط أكثر من 120 قتيلا منذ يوم الجمعة الماضى، يبدو أنه أزعج بشدة الولايات المتحدة ودفعها نحو النظر فى فرض عقوبات ضد مسئولين سوريين.
ومضت الصحيفة تقول أنه بحلول فجر الاثنين، قام حوالى ثلاثة الاف جندى تدعمهم المركبات المصفحة باجتياح مدينة درعا، التى انطلقت منها الاحتجاجات، وفتحت النار فى جميع الاتجاهات لتقتل ما يتراوح بين 5 و20 شخصا، وبعد ذلك اغلقت السلطات الحدود مع الاردن، الواقعة على مسافة 5ر2 ميل إلى الاتجاه الجنوبى الغربى للمدينة الصامدة التى قطعت عنها حتى الاتصالات التليفونية والكهرباء.
THE FORMATION OF HAIL, THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
From: http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_46.html
… He sends down mountains from the sky with hail inside them, striking with it anyone He wills and averting it from anyone He wills. The brightness of His lightning almost blinds the sight. (Qur'an, 24:43)
The above verse refers to hail and lightning. When the formation of hail and lightning are examined, it can be seen that an important meteorological truth is being indicated in this verse. About the formation of lightning and hail, the book Meteorology Today says that a cloud becomes electrified as hail falls through a region in the cloud of supercooled droplets and ice crystals. Liquid droplets freeze and release latent heat as they collide with a hailstone. This keeps the surface of the hailstone warmer than that of the surrounding ice crystals. An important phenomenon occurs when the hailstone comes in contact with an ice crystal: Electrons flow from the colder object toward the warmer one. In this way, the hailstone becomes negatively charged. This effect also occurs when supercooled droplets come in contact with a hailstone and small pieces of positively charged ice break off. These particles, which are lighter and positively charged, are carried to the upper part of the cloud by currents of air. The hail has a negative charge now, and falls towards the bottom of the cloud, thus the lower part of the cloud becomes negatively charged. These negative charges are then discharged as lightning. It may be concluded from this that hail is the main factor in the formation of lightning.57
In the following verse, however, attention is drawn to the link between rain clouds and lightning, and to the order of formation, information that parallels that discovered by science:
Or [their likeness is] that of a storm-cloud in the sky, full of darkness, thunder and lightning.
They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps, fearful of death… (Qur'an, 2:19)
Rain clouds are tremendous masses covering 20 to 260 square metres (10 to 100 square miles) and reaching great vertical heights of 9,000 to 12,000 metres (30,000 to 40,000 ft.). Due to these extraordinary dimensions, the lower part of these clouds are dark. It is impossible for the Sun's rays to pass through them, because of the large quantities of water and ice particles they contain. Very little solar energy therefore reaches the Earth through the clouds, which is why the clouds appear dark to someone looking up at them.58
The stages of the formation of thunder and lightning after that darkness, mentioned in the verse, are as follows: An electrical charge forms inside the rain cloud. This comes about as a result of such processes as freezing, the division of raindrops and charge formation during contact. The accumulation of such electrical charges, when the air between becomes unable to insulate them, leads to a great spark, a discharge between the positive and negative fields. The voltage between two oppositely charged areas can reach 1 billion volts. The spark can also form within the cloud, can cross between two clouds, from a positively charged area to a negative one, or be discharged from the cloud to the ground. These sparks form dazzling lightning strikes. This sudden increase in the electrical charge along the line of lightning causes intense heat (10,000 degrees Centigrade). As a result, there is a sudden expansion of the air, which in turn causes the loud noise associated with thunder.59
The thunder glorifies His praise, as do the angels, out of fear of Him. He discharges the thunderbolts, striking with them anyone He wills. Yet still they argue about Allah when He is inexorable in His power! (Qur’an, 13:13)
As has been discussed, dark layers, followed by the electrically charged sparks known as lightning, and then the loud noise called thunder, form within a rain cloud. Everything modern science has established about clouds, and has to say about the causes of thunder and lightning, is in complete accord with the descriptions in the Qur'an.

The unity of the Quran is simple all verses of Quran are wrapped about the simple idea that God is the creator and he has the right to be believed in and his path is to be followed. Reward or punishment are related to understanding well this simple message. The thunder is a wonder of God who tell us how it is formed and that it is his sign of his existence and glory. As well it is used by God to punish people. The heavy clouds that thunder comes from used as an example for absence of light of those disbelievers were they are in darkness like they are in deep dark sea with heavy clouds above them. Thus no light can get from heaven to them they are blocked from light in both the air and sea, darkens in darkness. The scientific miracle, the strong wording and the use of the creation to serve the creator all make you think strongly that God wrote the Quran and not a man like you and me.

Prophethood: Truthfulness

Page 1 of 5
Truthfulness is the cornerstone of Prophethood. No lies or deceit, whether explicit or implicit, were ever heard from them. The Qur'an declares: Mention Abraham in the Book: Surely he was a most truthful Prophet (19:41); Mention Ishmael in the Book; surely, he was a man of his word, and he was a Messenger, a Prophet (19:54); and Mention Idris (Enoch) in the Book; surely he was a most truthful Prophet. We elevated him to an exalted place (19:56–57). We also read in the Qur'an that a fellow prisoner addressed Prophet Joseph: Joseph, O most truthful one (12:46).
The Prophets had to be endowed with truthfulness, for God wants everybody to be truthful and extols the truthful: O you who believe, fear God and be with the company of the truthful! (9:119), and: The believers are those who believed in God and His Messenger without ever feeling doubt thereafter, and strove with their souls and possessions in the way of God; those are the ones who are the truthful (49:15).
The Qur'an praises believers who, without faltering, carry out their promises: Among the believers are the valiants who have kept their promise which they gave to God: Some of them carried out their word [and were martyred] and the others are expecting (their turn); they have never thought of going back on their word (33:23).
This verse extols the heroes of Uhud, a decisive turning point in Islamic history. After the Qurayshi unbelievers were defeated at Badr, they had spent a whole year preparing for a deadly retaliatory blow at the Muslims. Meeting at the foot of Mount Uhud, a few miles from Madina, the Muslims at first were victorious and the Quraysh began to flee. At this crucial point, the archers whom God's Messenger had positioned at 'Aynayn pass left their positions, against the Prophet's command, and pursued the enemy. Khalid ibn Walid, commander of the enemy's cavalry, took this opportunity to surround the Muslims from behind. As a result, the Muslims experienced a reverse. Such leading figures as Hamza, Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr, 'Abd Allah ibn Jahsh, and Anas ibn Nadr were martyred. Even the Prophet was wounded.
Let us note here that during the battle, God's Messenger, the Prophet of forgiveness and mercy who was sent as a mercy for creation, raised his hands toward God and, while bleeding profusely, asked for the enemy to be forgiven: "O God, forgive my people, for they do not know." [1]
Anas ibn Nadr was the uncle of Anas ibn Malik, the servant of God's Messenger. Although he had sworn allegiance with God's Messenger in 'Aqabah before he emigrated to Madina, for some reason he did not fight at Badr. He so regretted this that he told God's Messenger: "O Messenger of God, if God allows us to confront them once more, they will see what sufferings I will inflict on them!" He fought fearlessly at Uhud, especially when the Muslims suffered a reverse. Just before being martyred, he told Mu'adh ibn Jabal with a smile: "By God, I sense the scent of Paradise behind Uhud."
The Qur'an exalts in the above verse (33:23) those martyrs who fulfilled their promise to God through His Messenger, as well as others expecting martyrdom, to show that they were true to their words. They are not the only ones extolled here; rather, all who fulfill their words and keep their promises are mentioned here.
God's Messenger was known as a truthful person even before Islam. The Makkans, even the unbelievers, called him al-Amin, the Trustworthy One, the Truthful. Even his enemies did not accuse him of lying after he proclaimed his Prophethood. After the Treaty of Hudaybiya (6 AH), God's Messenger sent letters to the rulers of neighboring countries. The Emperor of Byzantium received it in Syria at a time when a Makkan trade caravan headed by Abu Sufyan was in the area of Damascus. The Emperor summoned him, and the following conversation took place:
— Do the elite or the weak mostly follow him?— The elite.— Has anyone apostatized after converting?— Not yet.— Do his followers increase or decrease?— They increase daily.— Have you ever heard him tell a lie?— No, never.
Struck by Abu Sufyan's answers, at that time the bitterest enemy of Islam, the Emperor acknowledged Muhammad's position: "It is inconceivable for one who has never told a lie during his whole life to invent lies against God." [2] The Emperor was right. Why would a believer who had never told a lie, even in jest, suddenly begin to lie, especially against God, when he is 40 years old and getting closer to the grave?
The Makkans agreed unanimously that God's Messenger was a truthful person. Once before his conversion, Yasir asked his son 'Ammar where he was going. 'Ammar said that he was going to Muhammad. Being fully satisfied of his son's safety while with Muhammd, he replied: "Muhammad is a trustworthy person. The Makkans recognize him so. If he claims Prophethood he must be telling the truth, for no one has ever heard him tell a lie."
God's Messenger always encouraged truthfulness, as can be seen in his words as recorded in the following Traditions:
• Promise me six things and I will promise you Paradise: Speak the truth, keep your promises, fulfill your trusts, remain (sexually) chaste, don't look at what is unlawful, and avoid what is forbidden. [3]
• Abandon what arouses your suspicions and follow what is certain. Truthfulness gives satisfaction; lying causes suspicion. [4]
• Seek truthfulness even if it might bring you to ruin. [5]
• Always be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. If you are always truthful and seek truthfulness, God records you as such. Never lie, for lying leads to shamefulness and shamefulness leads to Hell. If you insist on lying and seek deceit, God records you as such. [6]
Due to his truthfulness, God's Messenger rose to such a high rank that his nearness to God is expressed metaphorically in the Qur'an as follows: Then he approached and came nearer, till he was [distant] two bowlengths, or even nearer (53:8-9).
Truthfulness always brings salvation, even if it causes one's death. We die through truthfulness only once, whereas each lie is a different kind of death. One of the most striking examples of this is the case of Ka'b ibn Malik, a famous Ansari poet who swore allegiance to God's Messenger at 'Aqabah. Although he took part in almost all the battles, he missed the campaign of Tabuk without a justifiable excuse.
The Tabuk campaign was very difficult. It took place in mid summer and, what is more, against the Roman Empire. Although God's Messenger always kept the destination of such campaigns secret, this time he disclosed it and wanted every believer to participate. Ka'b completed his preparations but, at the last minute, uncharacteristic negligence kept him from joining the army.
When God's Messenger returned from the campaign, he asked those who had not fought why they had stayed at home. The Hypocrites lied and made excuses, but Ka'b, being unable to lie, told the truth. God's Messenger told him to leave. Thereafter, Ka'b and two other believers who had done the same thing were boycotted. On the order of God's Messenger, no Muslim met with them or spoke to them. They repented publicly, begging God for forgiveness, for 50 days. After this, it was revealed that:
As for those three, the acceptance of their repentance was delayed until, for them, the Earth, vast as it is, was straitened and their own souls were straitened to them, and they perceived that there is no fleeing from God and no refuge but with Him. Then He accepted their repentance so that they could recover their former state. Verily, God is the One who accepts repentance, Most Merciful. (9:118)
After this revelation, Ka'b ibn Malik told God's Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings: "I promise to speak the truth as long as I live." [7]
Truthfulness is the pivot of Prophethood. It could not be otherwise, for if a Prophet were to lie, everything connected with the Divine religion would be upset. All it takes is one lie to call a mission into question. Thus God declares: If he [Muhammad] had invented false sayings concerning Us, We would surely have grasped him firmly, and then cut off the artery of his heart, and none of you could have withheld Us from doing this (69:44–47).
The Prophet never lied or broke his promise, either prior to or during his Prophethood. A Companion remembered: "Before his Prophethood, we made an appointment to meet somewhere. It was, however, 3 days after the appointed time when I remembered it. When I hastened to the appointed place, I found the future Prophet waiting for me. He was neither angry nor offended. His only reaction was to say: 'O young man, you have given me some trouble. I have been waiting here for you for 3 days.'" [8]

Prophet Muhammad was never a liar and could not even have the luxury to do so. He was under the microscope as to speak of. He had hundreds of Muslims around him all time except for his sleep among them few were hypocrites. He had the Jews in the same town Al Madina city who were hammering him with questions about his revelation and their prophets as Moses, Jesus and so on. He would buy and sell from and to them. He was not invisible he was very visible to all people to check him out. Some of the Christians also came to see him and he red to them the Quran. God in the Quran made simple difficult test to them to call God if Muhammad is a liar to destroy him and his family and if they are the liars God would destroy them. They did not do that call, God knows well what was in their heart. Polygmy of prophet Muhammad looked by most Muslims as test to the prophet since it happened only when he was about 50 years old and was very busy being the prophet, the governor, the military leader the chief judge.... and so on and taking care of all these women who were in large part widowed and with orphaned children is very great task. If he was a liar he will never do that one of the women (God bless them) would say I caught him on a lie or he had temper but these women were the best of the believers and their homes were the recitation of the Quran and recall of Hadith were the norm. No one of them doubted he was a true prophet from God. A man came from far away after he heard about Muhammad told the people he is a prophet from God and after he checked him out he said: This is not a face of a liar.

Prophethood: Truthfulness

Truthfulness is the cornerstone of Prophethood. No lies or deceit, whether explicit or implicit, were ever heard from them. The Qur'an declares: Mention Abraham in the Book: Surely he was a most truthful Prophet (19:41); Mention Ishmael in the Book; surely, he was a man of his word, and he was a Messenger, a Prophet (19:54); and Mention Idris (Enoch) in the Book; surely he was a most truthful Prophet. We elevated him to an exalted place (19:56–57). We also read in the Qur'an that a fellow prisoner addressed Prophet Joseph: Joseph, O most truthful one (12:46).

The Killers of The People in our Revolutions should have their trial swift
غضب بمصر لتأجيل محاكمة العادلى
الأهالي تجمعوا خارج المحكمة رافعين صور أبنائهم من الشهداء (الجزيرة نت)
محمود جمعة-القاهرة
سادت حالة من الغضب العارم جموع المواطنين الذين احتشدوا خارج مقر محكمة جنايات القاهرة بحي التجمع الخامس اليوم الثلاثاء، بسبب تأجيل محاكمة وزير الداخلية السابق حبيب العادلي ومساعديه الستة إلى الشهر المقبل.
فقد تجمع أكثر من 5000 من أهالي الشهداء خارج المحكمة رافعين صور أبنائهم من الشهداء، ورددوا هتافات تندد بتباطؤ القضاء في البت في مصير المتهمين الذي تنسب إليهم تهم قتل المتظاهرين في التظاهرات السلمية.
وأعربوا عن رفضهم أن يحاكم العادلي ومساعدوه في محكمة مغلقة، وطالبوا بمحاكمته في مكان فسيح كأرض المعارض أو مركز القاهرة للمؤتمرات، حيث سادت حالة من الغضب بين الجميع لعدم تمكنهم من دخول قاعة المحاكمة ورؤية المتهمين خلف القضبان.

وقد عقدت الجلسة برئاسة المستشار عادل عبد السلام جمعة رئيس المحكمة وعضوية المستشارين محمد حماد عبد الهادي والدكتور أسامة أنور الجامع.
وقد تمت الجلسة وسط إجراءات أمنية مشددة شارك فيها قوات من الجيش والأمن المركزي، وفرض طوق أمنى حول مقر المحكمة بالتجمع الخامس بالقاهرة.
وأحضر المتهمون الستة إلى المحكمة وسط حراسة أمنية مشددة في الساعات الأولى من صباح الثلاثاء، كما تظاهر عدد كبير من أسر وأهالي الضحايا والمصابين في أحداث ثورة 25 يناير أمام مقر المحكمة وطالبوا بالقصاص العادل من المتهمين.
والمتهمون في القضية بالإضافة إلى العادلي هم أحمد محمد رمزي مساعد وزير الداخلية رئيس قوات الأمن المركزي السابق، وعدلي مصطفي عبد الرحمن فايد مساعد أول وزير الداخلية للأمن ومدير مصلحة الأمن العام السابق، وحسن محمد عبد الرحمن يوسف مساعد أول وزير الداخلية رئيس جهاز مباحث أمن الدولة السابق، وإسماعيل محمد الشاعر مدير أمن القاهرة السابق، وأسامة يوسف إسماعيل المراسي مدير أمن الجيزة السابق مساعد وزير الداخلية لشؤون التدريب حاليا، وعمر عبد العزيز حسن فرماوي مدير أمن 6 أكتوبر.

وأثناء الجلسة سأل رئيس المحكمة المستشار عادل عبد السلام حبيب العادلى ومساعديه الستة وواجههم بالاتهامات الموجهة إليهم في القضية، فأجابوا بنفي أي علاقة لهم بهذه الاتهامات، سواء قتل الثوار أو الانفلات الأمني أو تكدير الأمن العام وإطلاق النيران على المتظاهرين.
وأثناء الجلسة استمعت المحكمة إلى المدعين بالحق المدني، حيث حضر عدد كبير من المحامين والمدعين بالحق المدني.
واضطر رئيس المحكمة إلى رفع الجلسة بعد أن سادت حالة من الفوضى داخل القاعة بعد أن وجه عدد كبير من أسر الضحايا السباب والشتائم إلى العادلي ومساعديه.

International consensus on military action exists in Libya, but not in Syria, analysts say
Assad has more friends and allies than Gadhafi
(CNN) -- Two countries, two cases of extreme violence committed against citizens by their own government.
In one case, the Obama administration responds with military force. In the other, it doesn't.
Why?
The question has been raised in response to the radically different U.S. reactions to the bloodshed in Libya and Syria. More than 400 people have been killed in Syria over the past several weeks as Damascus has cracked down on protesters seeking reform, according to the Syrian Human Rights Information Link, a prominent human rights group.
Why Syria is different for the U.S.
The United Nations says it has information that 76 people were killed in that country last Friday alone, apparently during peaceful marches. President Bashar al-Assad's regime has described the protesters as "armed criminal groups," and shows no sign of letting up.
President Barack Obama has condemned the violence "in the strongest possible terms" and is seeking ways to "increase the pressure on the regime ... in a targeted way," according to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. So far, however, the response has amounted to little more than talk.
Rights group: More than 400 killed in Syria
Over in Libya, however, the U.S. reaction was entirely different when strongman Moammar Gadhafi promised to show "no mercy" to residents of the rebel-held city of Benghazi. Washington worked furiously behind the scenes at the United Nations to win an international mandate for a naval blockade, a no-fly zone and a license to take military action to protect civilians.
Obama promised no use of ground troops, but U.S. air power was used to devastating effect against elements of Gadhafi's forces before control of the operation was handed over to NATO commanders.
The White House says the two situations can't be compared.
Human Rights Policy
Libya was "a unique situation," Carney told reporters Monday. "We had large portions of the country that were out of the control of Moammar Gadhafi (and) we had an international consensus to act. We had the support of the Arab League to act in a multilateral fashion."
But Washington is "pursuing a range of possible policy options" in Syria, he stressed. The administration is looking at "targeted sanctions to respond to the crackdown ... and to make clear that this behavior is unacceptable."
American "values and principles apply to all countries," Defense Secretary Robert Gates added Tuesday. "Our response in each country will have to be tailored to that country, and the circumstances peculiar to that country."
Part of the reason the Obama administration intervened militarily in Libya and not Syria is because "Libya happened first," noted Danielle Pletka, vice president for foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative Washington think tank. "So the international community responded there first."
Protests in Benghazi first broke out in mid-February. Protests in the Syrian city of Daraa started last month after a violent crackdown by security forces on peaceful demonstrators protesting the arrests of youths who scribbled anti-government graffiti.

Second, there is "nowhere near the consensus on Syria as there is on Libya," Pletka told CNN. Syria, as opposed to Libya, stands at the heart of the Arab world. Assad has more friends and allies to call on.
"Assad is a dictator, a sponsor of terrorism, (and) a thug," Pletka said. "You could argue he's worse than Gadhafi." But "on Syria, the Arab League is not going to be nearly as forward-leaning. (They're) much closer to Assad."
Among other things, Gadhafi has been accused of trying to have then-Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah assassinated in 2003. There's a "personal antipathy" factor between Gadhafi and other Arab leaders, Pletka said.
At the same time, Israel may have a hostile relationship with its neighbor, but the Israeli leadership is "very comfortable with the devil it knows" in Damascus.
Obama, Pletka said, has shown an extreme reluctance to engage in unilateral military action. Ousting Assad would change the entire political dynamic in the Middle East to the benefit of the United States, she said, noting Syria's close ties to Iran and organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. But unless and until a firmer international consensus emerges, more concerted action is unlikely.
Military action in Libya may also have became a priority partly due to fears of al Qaeda, according to Rick Nelson, a terrorism expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, another Washington think tank.
Al Qaeda is "good at using countries in chaos to carve out safe havens," Nelson said, noting that the second-highest number of foreign fighters for al Qaeda in Iraq came from Libya. As Libya became more unstable, it may have become a priority for Western powers to ensure the country doesn't become more of a home for al Qaeda leaders.
Nelson echoed Pletka's point about the lack of an international consensus on Syria.
"People don't want to be on Assad's bad side," he said. If you attack Syria, "you're crossing a line that is changing the whole strategic calculus in the region in one move," he said. "The stakes are a lot higher."

America does not have the power and resources to free all people. However, has the moral obligation not to stand to their liberty like they did in the past or be proactive like they did in Libya. It is clear that most of the Arab corrupt oppressive regimes do not care about Palestine and it is a card they are playing with. We did not see peace and new Palestine raised and flourished by them they do not even care about their people see how they ruthlessly kill them. It is very clear that we as Muslim/Arab masses are having in lot on common with Israel particularly the left to make ever lasting peace and freedom and prosperity for all. That is why you find a lot of Jews are helping us in the media like Facebook, CNN and so on in our revolutions. When Sadat made peace with Israel the Arab tyrants went after him for two things one is jealous and the second is for maintaining the Palestine-Israel conflict as their everlasting plan to divert people from their corruption and tyranny. Best time is now for a lot of Arab moderates to make communication under the ground with the Jews how much they are willing to help us in revolution and in return how would be a fair agreement that will be acceptable to both Palestine and Israel. The question has to be answered by both of them: do they want to see the lamb lying down with the wolf or they want it to remain a jungle there.

Libyans in the besieged city of Misrata walk past a tank that belong to the forces of Col. Moammar Gadhafi. The U.S. and its allies have imposed a no-fly zone over Libya.

Time for Christians to Sincerely Read The Quran
By: Maged Taman
Some of the Christians think the Quran is the book of Satan and the end of time beast and their Mahdi will be the Anti-Christ. Let us be truthful and study the Quran with a good heart not to defeat it but find if it is truly from God or not. go in the Internet read to many websites including http://www.islamicity.com/ Islamic Jesus and the Biblical Jesus are one and the same.
Thank you

Is the world coming to an end in 2011?
By: Dr. Aslam Abdullah IslamiCity* -
The Theology of Apocalypse
Margaret Pease uses a bullhorn to proclaim May 21 as judgment day Thursday. She and a few others were spreading the word on Division Avenue near the Grand Rapids police station in Michigan.
May 21, 2011 might prove to be a decisive day for some American Christians in one way or the other.A California-based radio evangelist group of Harold Camping is claiming that Judgment day will take place on May 21, 2011. Exactly five months later the world would come to an end.What if they are proved wrong?Life would go on as usual as it has gone for thousands of years amidst all the doom's day prophecies. Well-known Christian scholars have predicted the end of time at least 44 times in the last 2,000 years and each time God proved them wrong. It is interesting that a wrong that is proven wrong is never accepted wrong. New dates are announced and a new theology is born. The confusion creates more confusion causing panic and fear among some people. Every time a dooms day prediction is made, the sale of books predicting the end of time increases, some people start selling their homes, and others start conserving food and other resources to meet the challenge of the time.How do they determine the end of time dates?The group that is predicting the end of time on May 21 claims that the flood of Noah took place some 4990 years before the birth of Jesus and it was in the year 4990 BC that Noah was told there would be yet 7 days until the flood of waters would be upon the earth. Now, each day is counted equivalent to 1000 years, we get 7000 years. And when we project 7000 years into the future from 4990 BC, we find that it falls on the year 2011 AD. The group claims that the year 2011 AD will be the 7000th year from the flood of Noah's day. It will be the end of the length of time given to mankind. Why is JUDGMENT DAY on MAY 21st, 2011?The group claims that on May 21st, 1988, God finished using the churches and congregations of the world for good work. The Spirit of God left all churches and Satan entered into the churches. Thus the group believes that churches all over the world are being ruled by Satan for the last 23 years. In the view of the group the full 23-year tribulation period concludes on May 21st, 2011 as it is the exact day that the great tribulation comes to its end.The group claims that on May 21st God will raise up all the dead that have ever died from their graves. Earthquakes will ravage the whole world as the earth will no longer conceal its dead. People who died as saved individuals will experience the resurrection of their bodies and immediately leave this world forever to be with the Lord. Those who died unsaved will be raised up as well, but only to have their lifeless bodies scattered about the face of all the earth. Death will be everywhere and On October 21, the world would come to an end. The group is silent on the return of Jesus and his role after his return. There are other Christian groups that believe that Jesus would return soon, some predict that by the end of this year, he would be back in this world to lead an armed struggle against Jews for allegedly torturing and killing Jesus, a struggle that will cause more than two thirds of Jews to be killed by Jesus and his followers and one thirds of them to convert to Christianity. Interestingly, the current pope has recently absolved the Jews from plotting against Jesus.In the doctrine of the end of the world, the coming of a Messiah plays a central role. With the exception of Buddhists, almost every religious group including Muslims has been waiting for the return of a Messiah who would rid the world of all evil.In the apocalyptic theology, the Messiah's role would be to establish a peaceful world through the killing of all the trouble makers. The trouble makers are defined as those who do not believe the ideas accepted in the religion that is promoting the claim of the return of Messiah. Thus for Christians, all those who are non-Christians are trouble makers. For Muslims, all non-Muslims are trouble makers, for Hindus all non-Hindus are the deviants and for Jews all non-Jewish people are the rebels. Imagine if the so called Messiahs of all religious communities appear at the same, what would be the fate of the world?There are also a number of Muslims who believe in the second coming of Jesus and the arrival of Mehdi. One can find an assortment of Muslim literature, old and new that outlines this type of apocalyptic predictions. However, no one has quoted a single verse from the Quran in justification of their position. Many quote from the books of ahadith (Saying of the Prophet) about the end of time without referring to the decisive Quranic words that say that end time is known only to God almighty.Currently, there are some fifteen theories circulating in our world about the end time. A brief description is given here so that we can get a better understanding of this topic from various sources.Nostradamus - While Nostradamus is very vague, he has predicted the end of the world through his past prophecy and drawings to be around the year 2000. The exact date is never given, but he indicates that the world will end through nuclear warfare or some other possible cause, by the means of "the heavens will catch on fire." Web Bot - A computer program used to search through data and pull together important data that can predict future events. It was built for investors and since then has a built a record for the prediction of the future events.

The Bible - The Bible predicts that the world will come to an end when the Antichrist rises. Some believe the Antichrist is already among us and the countdown to the end of world has already begun. The Antichrist - Nostradamus and the Bible predict the end of the world to occur when the Antichrist rises. A number of extreme Christian groups are claiming Obama to be the Antichrist. They hold that when his presidential term is just about done the world will come to an end.Mayan calendar ends on 12/21/2012, symbolizing the end of a cycle and into a new one as earth enters the "cosmic womb." Some believe that a transformation through other forms of life in our solar system will come to earth or earth will completely perish.Polar Shift - Polar shift can cause increased weather patterns and potentially catastrophic climate change. The polar shift wouldn't cause earth itself to end, but rather an increased amount of damage dealt upon earth via earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes and so on.Planet X - A new planet in our solar system that is suppose to collide with earth in 2012. The orbital pattern of the planet comes within very close proximity of earth and provides relatively strong evidence for the collision of earth. Though this evidence may seem conclusive, other calculations have been made to show that it will pass by earth.Comets - Comets from Planet X as it approaches earth can enter earth's atmosphere and either reach earth or disintegrate upon entering the atmosphere.Meteor - A large meteor can collide with earth causing everything on earth to become extinct. This is a very similar scenario to the extinction of Dinosaurs.Nuclear Warfare - Everything will end through war and the destruction of atomic bombs. This theory is highly unlikely saying as someone needs to be alive to launch the last bomb thus proving at least some civilization will live.The Alignment - Potentially earth can be lost in a black hole during the winter solstice in 2012. Since earth will be at the center of the Milky Way, where a black hole is located, some astrologers believe we will become lost within it. No one knows the actual outcome of this and it just seems to be another proposed theory of a 2012 predictions.The I Ching - An ancient text used to predict random events. It was calculated out into a timeline and when doing so it mysteriously ends on the year 2012. Since it is based on sequence of events people are suspicious about how it could just end on that date.Solar Storms - NASA has now confirmed that in the year 2012, the sun would have reached its peak of solar storms. It will be unlike anything earth has experienced.Tibetan Monks - With the use of Remote Viewing, the monks are able to predict the future. The Tibetan Monks have declared doomsday to be in the year 2012 through nuclear warfare. They also declared that we will be saved by extraterrestrial life.Depression - Some economists believe that a great depression is to occur in 2012. In the case of Muslims, the best source about end time is the divine message preserved in the pages of the Quran. Only God knows about the end of time, says the Quran repeatedly. The Quran reminds people to be ready for their end every second of their life.Life can lose its connection with the physical body any moment, the Quran asserts. Thus every second is an end time. This Quranic guidance empowers us to take control of our own lives and discipline ourselves on the basis of guidance from God rather than rely on some one else to change us.The Quran says that Allah does not change the condition of a people unless they change themselves. The Quran does not say that conditions will be changed only with the intervention of a Messiah or a Mehdi, whose arrival dates are not known to anyone. The belief in the theology of Apocalypse, in reality, challenges the foundation of the fundamental Quranic message that says that those who believe in the divine guidance and act accordingly are the ones who succeed ultimately. The Quran also says that they would not be questioned for a future that they are not aware of; rather they would be questioned for the present in which they live.Some people point to the increased number of disasters in our world to support the theology of Apocalypse. We must understand that the disasters, earthquakes, tsunamis and cyclones have been taking place around us since time immemorial. For instance, the US Geological Survey estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year. They occur on the basis of laws that God imbued in rocks at the time of their creation. If we learn those laws, we might be in a position to avoid human population in those areas where they occur. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes. We feel the impact of some of these events more on our lives because of two major factors. The information about these events now travels much faster than it used to. Secondly, human population around disaster prone areas has increased by many folds over since the last 500 years.Let us not be consumed by issues that are only known to God. Come May 22 or October 22 we can be rest assured things that are supposed to occur based on the laws of God will happen. For now let's make the best of today.

For instance, the US Geological Survey estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year. They occur on the basis of laws that God imbued in rocks at the time of their creation. If we learn those laws, we might be in a position to avoid human population in those areas where they occur. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes. We feel the impact of some of these events more on our lives because of two major factors. The information about these events now travels much faster than it used to. Secondly, human population around disaster prone areas has increased by many folds over since the last 500 years.Let us not be consumed by issues that are only known to God. Come May 22 or October 22 we can be rest assured things that are supposed to occur based on the laws of God will happen. For now let's make the best of today.
