Queen Elizabeth asked to convert to Islam

A Muslim preacher has sparked controversy after asking for Britain's Queen Elizabeth to convert to his faith.
Anjem Choudary claims the only way the 83-year-old monarch, who is head of the Church of England, will be sure of a place in heaven is if she becomes Muslim.
He said: "We invite everyone from the queen, to the ministers, to the Parliament, to the aristocracy, to the ordinary person in Britain to embrace Islam.
"Save yourself and your children in this life from misery and prepare them for a great destiny in the hereafter."
Choudary, who is close to Islamic radical Omar Bakri, also spoke out about the upcoming UK election, due to take place next year.
He said: "Britain does not need a new leader, it needs a revolution - an Islamic revolution."
Labour MP Andrew Dismore has criticised Choudary's comments.
He said: "It'd be laughable if we didn't know that some take this man seriously."

Catholics trade Mel Gibson to Muslim fundamentalists


The Catholic Church announced today it was trading Mel Gibson to the Wahhabis, a militant Islamic sect based in Saudi Arabia, a spokesman for the Vatican said.



“Given his expressed attitudes on women and Jews, we feel that Mr. Gibson will be more comfortable in the Wahhabi community,” said Monsignor Gianni Antonelli, the Vatican’s director of celebrity affairs.



Vatican insiders said that Pope Benedict XVI felt the church could ill afford to be associated with the controversial Gibson at a time when it was also receiving bad publicity on the priest-child-abuse issue.



In exchange for Gibson, the Catholics will receive Walid al-Gazar, a talented young actor/screenwriter who was sentenced to amputation of both legs and an arm recently for his Oscar-nominated short film, Babes Without Burkas, plus 160 camels.



Friends of Gibson said Saudi Arabia, where alcoholic beverages are illegal and drug laws carry the death penalty, would provide him a healthier environment than Hollywood.



Gibson, who belongs to a traditionalist Catholic sect that celebrates the Mass in Latin, refuses to eat fish on Fridays and believes Jews have cloven hooves, directed the controversial 2004 film The Passion of the Christ, a retelling of events leading up to the Crucifixion.



Clad in a Go-Wahhabis jersey and baseball cap, Gibson appeared at a brief news conference in Riyadh, where he said he was at work on a script for his next film, Saladin: The Early Years.



“I spent many happy, productive years as an embittered, retrograde Catholic, he said. “And now it’s time to move on.”



Gibson declined to answer questions about the scathing tapes in which he cursed his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva so vigorously he had to pause and pant for breath.
Inilah Tanda-tanda Kehancuran Zionis

Situs Debkafile yang berafiliasi terhadap rezim Zionis Senin lalu mengemukakan prediksi akan terjadinya sejumlah peristiwa penting di kawasan. Pasalnya, di Amman, ibu kota Yordania baru-baru ini berlangsung pertemuan keamanan segi lima yang dihadiri para pejabat tinggi Amerika Serikat, Yordania, Otorita Ramallah, Mesir dan Israel. Pertemuan keamanan itu membahas agenda utama mencari strategi mewujudkan proses perundingan damai antara Israel dan Palestina yang menemui jalan buntu.



Tersebarnya berita diterimanya prakarsa penghentian pembangunan permukiman Zionis selama 90 hari oleh Perdana Menteri rezim Zionis, Benyamin Netanyahu yang ditebus dengan sejumlah dana besar tampaknya biasa saja. Namun, berita ini menjadi sorotan ketika bersanding dengan kabar sakitnya Raja Arab Saudi yang semakin parah. Pasalnya penguasa Arab berusia 83 tahun ini adalah salah seorang inisiator program perdamaian Arab Beirut tahun 2002 lalu.



Di luar itu, sekutu strategis Israel lainnya, Presiden Mesir Hosni Mubarak dan suksesi di Mesir serta gunungan masalah internal Israel lainnya menjadi agenda utama pertemuan Amman. Kini, kawasan Timur Tengah menghadapi peristiwa penting.



Menengok sejarah, Raja Abdullah ketika masih menjadi putra Mahkota pernah mengusulkan perdamaian Arab dalam pertemuan Liga Arab di Beirut pada tahun 2002. AS berharap Arab Saudi di tangan Abdullah bisa mendukung pemulihan hubungan Arab-Israel di satu sisi dan hubungan Palestina-Israel di sisi lain.



Setelah Abdullah diangkat menjadi orang nomor satu di Arab Saudi, ia mengusulkan partisipasi Fatah dalam pemerintahan Palestina di Jalur Gaza dalam pertemuan Mekah pada tahun 2007. Padahal, berdasarkan undang-undang Palestina sendiri, Fatah tidak berhak mendapat jatah kue kekuasaan dalam pemerintahan yang dimenangkan Hamas secara demokratis pada pemilu tahun 2006.



Tidak bisa dipungkiri, Saudi dengan menguasai Fatah dalam pemerintahan baru Palestina, bermaksud menguasai hirarki kekuasaan di Palestina. Tidak mengherankan, ketika Hamas, berdasarkan undang-undang, tidak menyepakati keberadaan Fatah di kementerian yang sensitif, tidak ada negara Arab, terutama Riyadh dan Kairo yang mendukung pemerintahan Hamas di Jalur Gaza.



Sejatinya, Arab Saudi, Mesir dan Yordania memainkan peran penting di Palestina. Mesir yang tidak menyetujui peran Arab Saudi dalam kasus Palestina, setelah kegagalan kesepakatan Mekah menggulirkan rekonsiliasi nasional Palestina. Eksekusi prakarsa Kairo ini relatif bisa menangguhkan pembentukan pemerintahan baru Palestina, namun akhirnya Hamas membentuk pemerintahan Palestina di Jalur Gaza.



Hamas akhirnya menyerahkan sejumlah kementerian kepada gerakan Fatah. Pemerintah pilihan rakyat Palestina yang mengusung reformasi sosial dan politik di Palestina, memulai program pembersihan orang-orang yang tidak layak di pemerintahan Palestina di Jalur Gaza, yang berbuntut tersingkirnya orang-orang Fatah dari jabatan kementerian.



Sontak, Fatah mereaksinya dengan berang, dan menyebut pemerintahan pilihan rakyat Hamas di Jalur Gaza tidak demokratis. Kemudian pemerintah Riyadh dan Kairo sebagai sekutu Otorita Ramallah memboikot pemerintahan baru Hamas di Jalur Gaza. Inilah pemicu boikot total Barat dan rezim Zionis atas Gaza. Sementara itu, Saudi dan Mesir terus memimpin arus anti-muqawama di kawasan.



Pasca empat tahun dari kemenangan pemilu demokratis di Jalur Gaza yang dimenangkan Hamas, pemerintah Riyadh dan Kairo sebagai negara poros anti muqawama di kawasan mengkhawatirkan eskalasi dukungan terhadap Hamas di kawasan.



Tampaknya, Presiden Mesir Hosni Mubarak dan sejawatnya Raja Abdullah tidak lama lagi akan mengakhiri karir politiknya sebagai orang nomor satu di negaranya masing-masing. Dalam kondisi sensitif saat ini, tidak diragukan lagi perundingan segi lima di Amman yang membahas perundingan Palestina-Israel tidak lagi menjadi isu penting bagi Washington.



Mengingat situasi politik di Mesir dan Arab Saudi, serta kondisi sensitif di kawasan terutama wajah suram AS di Timur Tengah, tampaknya transisi kekuasaan di Arab Saudi dan Mesir tidak akan berjalan mulus. Untuk itu, pemimpin kedua negara saat ini tengah mencari solusi yang tepat untuk mengatasi masalah itu.



Pertemuan segi lima Amman merupakan tempat yang tepat untuk membahas solusi mengenai masalah tersebut serta mengantisipasi kemungkinan kudeta di dua negara poros utama pendukung perdamaian Arab-Israel.



Sementara itu, koalisi baru muncul di kawasan dan membentuk bola salju yang terus menggelinding kencang. Melebihi sebelumnya, kondisi ini semakin mempersulit AS dan sekutunya di kawasan.

UK rapper MIA wears a burqa on the red carpet

Never one to shy away from a controversial costume, singer/rapper MIA surprised fans when she arrived at the 2010 Spike Scream Awards wearing an Islamic niqab veil and robe that covered her entire body, save for her eyes (done up in bright metallic green eyeshadow) and strappy heel-clad feet.

Perhaps trying to make a statement about the recent burqa ban in France and Muslim-phobia sweeping the nation, MIA's version of the conservative Islamic garment also contained bold and colorful graphics, including a big heart scrawled with the words "I Love You."

For her performance later in the show, MIA shed the controversial robe, which many argue is sexist and oppressive, and opted for another head-turning getup comprised of bright purple pants and a yellow top, both covered in sequins, accented with a sky blue bobbed wig (how very Katy Perry!) and lime green tennis shoes.

In addition to MIA's sartorial antics, see who accessorized their outfit with a 2010 Spike Scream Award, which honors the best performers in the sci-fi and horror movie categories, when the show is aired on Oct. 20 at 9/8 C on Spike.

OBAMA COMES VILLAGE

:US President Barack Obama said he will come to Indonesia in November. This was conveyed yesterday in his speech at the United Nations’ General Session, whose theme was the success of democracy in the world.

According to Obama, the development of democracy in the world was not at the dictation of the US, but because every citizen demanded it. He also said democracy always reflects the uniqueness of a nation.

Then Obama mentioned he planned to visit India at the end of the fall season. “I will continue my official trip to Indonesia, a country with the most number of Muslims in the world which has connected thousands of its islands through its representative government and civil society,” Obama said. On the same official trip, he will attend the G-20 Conference in South Korea and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum in Japan.

The US President has long planned to visit Indonesia where he spent part of his childhood, but the plan was postponed twice in May and June. The first one was because of the urgency of the health legislation in the US Congress, and the second time was because of the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa welcomed the plan but refused to comment about whether or not Obama’s trip was due to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s absence at the US-ASEAN Conference in New York on September 24. “Ask the US,” Marty said.
