Background Information
On 2nd July, Joshua Casteel of Iraqi Veterans Against War and Hani Lazimof Iraqi Democrats against the Occupation spoke at a packed meeting ofthe Derry Anti War Coalition. In the course of the meeting, over 70people agreed that DAWC needed to think of new ways of exposing Derry's role in the arms trade. Raytheon is one of the largestarms manufacturers in the world and, despite all the local partiesbacking Raytheon's presence in the town, there is real anger at thepossibility that Derry contributed in the smallest way to massacresin Lebanon and Gaza.Following a further packed meeting on Monday 7th August, it wasagreed to take action against the presence of Raytheon, and theircomplicity in the murderous Israeli bombardment of Lebanon and theon-going wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is some evidence, forinstance, that a Raytheon Guided Bomb Unit was used in the atrocityin Qana.Over 20 Derry Anti War Coalition members arrived at Raytheon’soffices on Wednesday 9 August 2006. When the opportunity to pushour way into the offices arose, most of us tried to get in.The nine who are now known as the Raytheon 9 are those who succeeded.The Raytheon 9 occupied and decommissioned the Derry Raytheonoffice in our name. They were there on our behalf and we take fullresponsibility for their actions. The Derry Anti-War Coalitionbelieves that it was legally and morally justified to engage innon-violent direct action to highlight Raytheon’s role as warprofiteers and to call for the closure of its offices in Derry.Derry Anti War Coalition is affiliated to the Irish Anti-WarMovement and the Stop the War Coalition in Britain, and seesthis action as an extension of the mass protests against warwhich we have helped organise, and have participated in,over recent years.Web: http://www.raytheon9.org/

Ancient Qur'an sells for more than US$2.3 million
Ancient Qur'an sells for more than US$2.3 million
Updated Wed. Oct. 24 2007 8:12 AM ET
The Associated Press
LONDON -- A Qur'an written in 1203, believed to be the oldest known complete copy, has sold for more than $2.3 million at an auction.
The holy book, which had been estimated to sell for up to US$715,000, fetched US$2,327,300 at Tuesday's auction in London , Christie's said.
That was a record auction price for a Qur'an or any type of Islamic manuscript, the auctioneer Christie's said.
A nearly complete, 10th-century Kufic Qur'an, thought to be from North Africa or the near East, sold for US$1,870,000.
Both were offered for sale by the Hispanic Society of America, and were purchased by trade buyers in London , Christie's said.
The record-setting Qur'an was signed by Yahya bin Muhammad ibn 'Umar, dated 17 Ramadan 599 (June 1203).
It was acquired in Cairo in 1905 by Archer Milton Huntington, who founded the Hispanic Society in New York City in 1904. Huntington, the adopted son of railroad and ship-building magnate Collis P. Huntington, died in 1955.
The calligraphy in the manuscript was done in gold outlined in thin black lines, and the marginal notes are in silver outlined in red.
The kufic Qur'an bridges a gap between the earlier style, copied on parchment of horizontal format, and the later style of vertical composition, often on paper, Christie's catalog said.
The kufic script takes its name from Kufah in Iraq , an early center of Islamic scholarship, according to the British Library.
Because the script's vertical strokes were very short but the horizontal strokes elongated, it was written on papers in a landscape format.

Introduction to The Cork Muslim Women's Group
As a group we have many aims among them is to create a proper community for the sisters in Cork. The group is something the sisters can turn to in times of hardship as well as in times of joy. We are a support group for sisters. We are active in our local community as well as in the community of Cork endevouring to change the image of what a Muslim women is. Through our actions we try to change peoples impression of Islam and who muslims are, as well as creating an image for the Irish Muslim and getting the Irish Muslim recognised
We organise many events and activities including days out for the sisters, like trips to Blarney Castle or Fota Wildlife Park. We also organise events open to the wider public - our most recent of these was an Interfaith Dialogue which took place last April between Sheik Abdur Raheem Green and Fr Sean O'Sullivan.
[ Quran 49:13 ]
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is (one who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
"O who believe, fasting is decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you; perchance you will guard yourselves. (2:183)
RAMADAN MUBARAK
First day of Ramadan 1428h will be Thursday (13 Sep 2007)
Etiquette of breaking the fast
By Dr. Gibril Haddad
The fast is broken at sunset, and it is termed in Arabic iftar. It is a time of happiness and refreshment after experiencing the pangs of hunger and thirst. It is usually broken with dates and in many cultures a light soup with bread or small side dishes. Breaking the fast is followed immediately by the evening obligatory prayer. In many parts of the world, including the US, breaking fast is observed in congregation in mosques and homes.
The Prophetic etiquette of breaking fast: three rutabs (moist dates), or else tamr (dry dates), or else water, mentioning Allah, using the right hand, stating the du`a that fasting was for Allah and breakfast with his rizq (provision), and asking Allah aid in fasting, night-prayer, lowering the eyes, and guarding the tongue in Ramadan. The invocation (du`a) upon breaking fast is answered.
The following two du`as should be recited after breaking the fast:
اَللّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ وَعَلى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ
Allahumma laka sumtu wa `alaa rizqika aftartu
O Allah! For You have I fasted and upon Your sustenance have I broken my fast. [Abu Dawud]
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ
Dhahab az zamaa’u wab tallatil urooqu wa thabat al-ajru Insha-Allah
The thirst has vanished, the veins have been wetted and the reward is established - Insha-Allah. [Abu Dawud]
The Prophet (s) said: "Whosoever fasts experiences two joys. He is joyful when he breaks his fast, and is joyful because of his fasting when he meets his Lord." [Sahih Muslim]
"When evening approaches from this side (east) and the day retreats from this side (west) and the sun has set, the one who is fasting breaks his fast." [Bukhari and Muslim]
"Break your fast with a date, or with water because it is pure."[Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi]
The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said: "My nation will remain in goodness as long as they break the fast as soon as it is due." [Muslim]
It is offensive and unhealthy to stuff the stomach with food after fasting. The Prophet (s) said: “Enough for a human being to have luqaymat (=from 3 to 9 mouthfuls) that prop up his spine and, if he must have more [in his stomach], then one third of food, one third of water, and one third of air.”
Out of respect for the mosques and those who attend them among people, jinn, and angels foods that cause bad breath (such as garlic and onions), belching and gas should not be consumed.
Al-Hamdulillah, praise and peace be upon His Prophet Muhammad and on his Family, Companions and his Followers, inwardly and outwardly.
