Hezbullah:You've
Got Mail! & Memo To CAIR
by Laura Mansfield [author, analyst] 7/19/06 |
If you’ve
been following the crisis in the middle east throughout recent
days, you might have something you want to say to the leaders
of Hezbullah, but you probably don’t have the phone number
of a top Hezbullah officer.
But this
is 2006, and the best way to reach someone isn’t always by
phone.
If you
want to get a message to Hezbullah, it’s surprisingly simple.

They have
an email address posted at the top of their website just
drop them a message at info@moqawama.net.
Perhaps
you’re concerned about whether the email will go through?
After all, Israel has attacked the Hezbullah television station,
Al-Manar TV, in Beirut. The Al Manar website remains offline.
What’s to stop Israel from taking out the Hezbullah website
too?
Actually,
that’s pretty unlikely, considering that the website is hosted
on a server in you guessed it Chicago, IL, in the United
States.
Hezbullah’s
website is located at http://www.alghaliboun.net.
Although
an attempt was made to hide the server hosting the website
through the use of a private DNS service, a little network
detective work shows that the website is hosted on a server
at FASTERSERVERS.NET, an ISP located in Chicago.
The website
offers content in both English and Arabic. It features a
banner showing Hezbullah leader Mohamed Nasrallah.
The website
apparently replaces the Moqawama.net website, which has since
1998 been the primary site of Hizbullah on the internet.
The Hizbullah “Press
Office” and the Al Manar TV websites remain offline.
Aaron Weisburg
at Internet Haganah has an excellent analysis of the extent
to which American webhosting companies are supporting Hezbullah.

Memo
To CAIR
Dear CAIR,
You may communicate directly with Hassan Nasrallah at info@moqawama.org. All
requests for ceasefire should be directed to him. He has the power
to end the hostilities by releasing the kidnapped soldiers.
PS: Could you please send out a CAIR action alert calling for Hamas
to cease suicide bombings, and for Osama Bin Laden to quit killing civilians? Nope? Didn't
think so.

In
the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
- MEDIA ADVISORY -
U.S. MUSLIMS TO ASK THAT BUSH PROTECT RELATIVES IN LEBANON, GAZA
President
will be urged to call for cease-fire, send humanitarian relief
(WASHINGTON,
D.C., 7/18/06) - Beginning
July 19, local chapters of the Council
on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
will hold news conferences nationwide with members
of the Muslim and Arab-American communities who have
relatives under attack in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
At the news conferences, community members will ask President Bush to
call for an immediate cease-fire by all parties in the Middle East conflict
and urge that humanitarian relief be sent to areas devastated by Israel's
bombing campaigns.
Events have already been scheduled in San
Diego, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Orlando, Detroit, Phoenix,
Cincinnati, and Columbus, Ohio
WHAT: CAIR News Conferences with Those Who Have Relatives in Lebanon,
Gaza
WHEN: Beginning Wednesday, July 19 (Some CAIR chapters will
hold news conferences on Thursday or Friday.)
CONTACT: Contact
the nearest
CAIR office for details about the news conferences.
There are an estimated 25,000 American citizens in Lebanon, and many
American citizens, both Christian and Muslim, have relatives in Lebanon
and Gaza. Despite the fact that many
civilians have already been killed in Israeli attacks on the civilian
infrastructures of both areas, President Bush has rejected calls for
a cease-fire.
Plans to evacuate American citizens from Lebanon have been criticized
as too slow. The U.S. government will also bill
each evacuee for the cost of their transport out of Lebanon.
"We are concerned that our government's refusal to even request a cease-fire
to end humanitarian suffering in Lebanon and Gaza creates the perception that
Muslim and Arab lives are somehow less valuable than Israeli lives," said CAIR
Executive Director Nihad Awad. "Targeting civilians to achieve a political
goal is terrorism, whether the target is a pizza parlor in Tel Aviv or an apartment
building in Beirut."
CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 32 offices,
chapters and affiliates nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is
to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil
liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote
justice and mutual understanding. CRO
