Arrested for Dissenting, Irvine 11 Need Your Help

http://mlfa.org/stand-eleven

On February 8, 2010, ten university students individually stood up and made brief statements of protest during a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren over Israel's unlawful treatment of the indigenous Palestinian populations. (video)

Despite the peaceful nature of the protests, each protester and an eleventh student was immediately arrested and cited. These students have come to be known as the "Irvine 11." On February 7, 2011, the Orange County District Attorney's office indicted the Irvine 11 on two misdemeanor charges. If found guilty, the students face up to six months in jail, fines or probation and community service.

While these students' protest was purely political, the Orange County District Attorney has labeled this case as the "UCI Muslim Case." Based on the OC DA's perception of the students' religion, amongst other things, the students are now facing unprecedented and discriminatory criminal charges.

The Story of Passover in the Quran

In the Quran, one of the most recounted stories is the story of the bondage of the Children of Israel and their deliverance from Egypt's Pharaoh.

Many Jews may be surprised to learn that Islam as preached by Muhammad

was the same religion preached by Abraham

, as well as of all other prophets mentioned in the Torah and the Bible. Muslims honor all the prophets of the Jews - Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David and Solomon (peace be upon them all) among others - as their own prophets.

Here is how Allah

ordered Muhammad

to follow the religion of the Patriarch Abraham

:

"So We have taught thee the inspired (Message), "Follow the ways of Abraham the True in Faith, and he joined not gods with God."" (Surah Al Nahl 16:123)

Is the world coming to an end in 2011?

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.
