USA Drone Attacks Inside Pakistan

The Rose Crescent's international House of Peace has completed its draft position paper on the American attacks inside Pakistan. The paper is currently availbe to all khaniqah members, and should not be distributed to the public at large until it has been approved at the district levels.

For those new to the Rose Crescent, the process is as follows:

1. The House of Peace receives testimony from eye witnesses, scholars, and others.
2. The members of the HP deliberate on the testimony.
3. A draft position paper is developed.
4. The paper is distributed to the international assembly of khanaqahs.
5. Comments are solicited.
6. The districts vote on it.
7. If it is approved at the district level, a motion is sent to the House of Peace.
8. It is further reviewed by the ulama present at the House of Peace.
9. A recommendation is made to issue one of the following: (a) a formal position; or (b) a fatwa is issued.

In short, though, the House of Peace has privately called on the U.S. to halt all attacks. Civilian life must be safeguarded.

Comet Lulin

The appearance of a new comet usually signifies both a paradigm shift and the coming of a new Teacher.

In 100 years from now earth's survivors may very well look back and mark Lulin's coming as marking the start of the New Paradigm of Spirit.

Lulin arrises out of water. The New Age is one of mystery. The comet comes in backwards, powerfully undoing all of the previous paradigms. Now begins the Age of Spirit. During this time a child has been born. In time S/he will manifest to lead the world. The color green is significant because of its connection to both the Prophet Mohamad and to the heart chakra.

New York

The New York khanaqah will be hosting a special lecture tonight at midnight, following prayers. Those in the area are invited to join. Our special guest brother from the valley of Swat will explain the situation in Pakistan and the work of the Rose Sufi Crescent there. This meeting will precede a discussion of the House of Peace's proposal on Pakistan. Join us for a lively question and answer session following the presentation.

Questions we will consider:

What should the Rose Crescent's position be with regards to USA actions?
What is the best way to curtail the growing influence of the Taliban?
Is Pakistan on the brink of collapse (again)?
