Temh Friday Sennon Jan 25, 1991 conduct. It censures the world for its ignorance of humanistic values. U. S. blames Iraq for bombarding unarmed innocent Israelis. Iraq's bombardment is no doubt utterly wrong. Islam does not permit the harming of unarmed innocent citizens in any way whatsoever. The religion of Muhammad•'" does not allow it. Whenever Jihad of the sword was invoked the detailed instructions Hazrat Muhammad. . . used to give to the armies, before they departed, was that they must not kill civilians, the elderly, women and children.

These matters are totally opposed to the moral values the U. S. and the West widely proclaim. Their actions speak louder than their words. The propaganda they have initiated is that President Saddam Hussein is a dangerous dictator and is being punished because he bas enslaved his citizens. They are punishing him because he is persecuting the citizens of his country and has tyrannised over them. They say they are against President Saddam, and not against the people of Iraq.
