The 55-year-old man, whose identity was not immediately released, was found dead Tuesday morning at the Hudson County Jail in Kearny, New Jersey. An autopsy was planned to determine the cause of death. A doctor who examined the man's body said a nasal swab showed no signs of anthrax, but further tests were planned, county spokesman Jacob Delemos said. The man was arrested Sept. 19 as part of the investigation into the terrorist attacks, a government source who insisted on anonymity told The Associated Press on Wednesday. He was being held on immigration charges, authorities said. Federal immigration officials didn't immediately return calls for comment... ----- WRITERS QUESTION LOYALTY OF AMERICAN MUSLIMS SKEPTICAL OF THE PEACEFUL LABEL By Cal Thomas, The Washinton Times, 10/24/2001 <a href="http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/20011024-19226812.htm">http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/20011024-19226812.htm> One sees many white, Anglo-Saxon, mostly Protestant members of Congress and others on television today vouching for the "peaceful" nature and intent of Islam. Oprah Winfrey has done a show on "modern Muslim women" - none of whom would be allowed to dress in contemporary clothing, be educated, or even appear on television if they lived in radical Muslim states. I ask the Right Rev. Bullen Dolli, an Episcopal bishop in Sudan, what he believes about the nature and intent of contemporary Islam. "It is a militant religion," he tells me and laughs at those who serve as its character witnesses... ...When Christians, Jews and those of most other faiths disagree with the American government, they have worked within the system to change it, or in extreme cases (as with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.) have been willing to suffer government's punishment for violating our laws for a nobler purpose. It is different with militant Islam, which seeks to dominate the nation in which it grows and, when in control, diminishes the rights of all who disagree. Don't think so? Is there a country controlled by Islamic militants that guarantees equal rights for all? Why are we allowing Muslim schools in this country to promote ideas that are seditious?

In the context of a crisis like today's, this would have meant asking Muslims to offer wholehearted support to America's war against Osama bin Laden, while other Americans were urged to respect their Muslim neighbors. Everyone would thus be reassured. Under the multiculturalism inspired by suspicion of the American majority, however, no expressions of loyalty are demanded of American Muslims. We are supposed to assume the loyalty of every single person in America until someone furnishes legally recognizable proofs of disloyalty. Hence, the official condemnation of the practice of subjecting men of "Middle Eastern appearance" to intrusive questioning when they are boarding airplanes. This apparent indulgence damages American Muslims. For it reduces the incentives for Muslims to join the collective, unqualified condemnation of bin Laden. Some Muslim leaders have issued such condemnations anyway. But others, encouraged to stress a Muslim identity over an American one, have been noticeably equivocal--complaining, for instance, that U.S. sanctions on Iraq are also a form of terrorism. Such statements might well instill in other Americans the very suspicion of Muslims that official policy is designed to dispel...

Do these state-sponsored actions manifest American values? ...Alas, however, one of the best ways to determine the values of a nation is to follow the money. America is Israel's most loyal and vocal international ally. We hand the Jewish state $270-million in economic aid and about $2-billion in military aid. How much of this money funds the continued dehumanization and disenfranchisement of the Palestinian people? What does our largess say about our values? What does it say to the Islamic world? Do we care? This is no time for blind allegiance to past practices. This is a time for straight talk, fairness and wise action.

(AP) - Sehr Karim never expected to sit across the dinner table from a student with the religious background of Melissa Simon. Karim is a devout Muslim from United Arab Emirates, while Simon is a religious Jew from Boston. But they are among many Muslims and Jews at Mount Holyoke College who have been breaking bread at a unique college dining hall that opened two days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. A main topic of conversation has been the tenets of Islam and how it differs from the hateful dogma preached by Osama bin Laden... ...The dining is possible because the hall serves dishes in accordance with Jewish rules that define kosher food and with Islamic dietary laws, known as halal. While kosher and halal food is increasingly available on college campuses across the country, Mount Holyoke administrators say their kitchen is one of the few that cooks and serves meals that meet both religions' requirements every day... ...Both Islam and Judaism prohibit eating pork and require animals to be slaughtered in a particular way. While halal meat is not automatically considered kosher, all kosher meat can be eaten by Muslims. ----- LARGE MAJORITY OF GERMANS WANT BOMBING CEASEFIRE BERLIN, Oct 24 (Reuters) - An overwhelming majority of Germans want the United States to call at least a temporary halt to its bombing of Afghanistan, a survey released on Wednesday said. Sixty-nine percent of Germans polled answered "yes" to the question, "Do you agree with the demands for a ceasefire in Afghanistan?" the survey by the respected Forsa polling institute found. The poll, to be published in the liberal weekly Die Woche on Thursday, showed that 60 percent of Germans were opposed to Germany sending combat troops to support the U.S.-led mission, while 35 percent were in favour... ----- VATICAN UN OBSERVER QUESTIONS US ATTACKS IN AFGHANISTAN Catholic World News, 10/23/2001 <a href="http://cwnews.com/news/getstory.cfm?recnum=16646&auth=No">http://cwnews.com/news/getstory.cfm?recnum=16646&auth=No> VATICAN, Oct 23, 01 (CWNews.com) - The Vatican's representative at the UN has sharply questioned American military activities against Afghanistan, and called for more serious efforts to eliminate the "roots" of terrorism. Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, Archbishop Renato Martino ignored the efforts of American military planners to avoid civilian casualties during the current bombing campaign. He said: "Reprisals, which strike indiscriminately at the innocent, continue the spiral of violence and are illusionary solutions that prevent the moral isolation of the terrorists." The Vatican envoy also brushed aside any military rationale for the US campaign, characterizing the air strikes as "acts of revenge" and saying that they would not eliminate the causes of terrorism... ...The veteran Vatican diplomat also complained that the peacekeeping work of the UN itself has been thwarted by countries that refuse to honor UN decisions. In an obvious reference to the conflict in the Middle East, he went on: "Those who honor God must be in the first rank of those who fight against all forms of terrorism." ----- AIRLINES AGGRESSIVELY PROFILE FLIERS Carriers get FBI watchlists; files play new role after attack By David Armstrong and and Joseph Pereira, The Wall Street Journal <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/news/646421.asp?0dm=N237B">http://www.msnbc.com/news/646421.asp?0dm=N237B> BOSTON, Oct. 23 - On Oct. 8, Muhammad Ali settled into his seat on United Airlines Flight 1471 at Logan International Airport, opened a newspaper and waited for takeoff. ALI, A NETWORK consultant at Lucent Technologies Inc., was eager to get back to his family in suburban Virginia after spending the weekend with a Boston client. Instead, a United security manager asked him to gather his belongings and step off the plane. Outside on the boarding ramp, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and police officers grilled Ali for 20 minutes about everything from the purpose of his trip to his immigration status. United says that Ali, a Pakistani who holds a U.S. work visa, was identified as a security risk because his name is similar to one on an FBI list of suspected terrorists. After checking his identification and interviewing him, the FBI found that Ali didn't pose any danger. Even so, Flight 1471 left without him. ----- CRITICAL E-MAILS MAY HAVE COST JOB By Jac MacDonald and Kelly Cryderman, Edmonton Journal, 10/24/2001 <a href="http://www.canada.com/">http://www.canada.com/> Search using the term "Abdul-Kariim."

HOLLAND, The Associated Press, 10/24/2001 WASHINGTON -- The House gave overwhelming approval Wednesday to a compromise anti-terrorism bill giving police new power to secretly search the homes of terrorism suspects, tap all their phones and track their use of the Internet. The bill passed 357-66. It was to be taken up by the Senate later in the day or Thursday with the idea of getting it to President Bush for a possible Friday signing at the White House... ...Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft have been calling for the legislation since the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, but civil liberty and privacy concerns by House and Senate members have delayed the legislation... ...Some House members say the bill gives the government too much power.

This is an historic vote that is based upon a false dichotomy: that safety must come at the expense of civil liberties. We can be safe and fight terrorism without substantially surrendering our civil liberties, and without giving enormous, unwarranted power to the executive branch - which can be used against U.S. citizens -- unchecked by meaningful judicial review... ...While it contains provisions that we support, the American Civil Liberties Union believes that the USA Act gives the Attorney General and federal law enforcement unnecessary and permanent new powers to violate civil liberties that go far beyond the stated goal of fighting international terrorism. These new and unchecked powers could be used against American citizens who are not under criminal investigation, immigrants who are here within our borders legally, and also against those whose First Amendment activities are deemed to be threats to national security by the Attorney General... ----- MOSQUE OPEN HOUSE IN ORANGE COUNTY The Islamic Educational Center of Orange County will hold an open house Saturday, November 3rd, at 11 to 4 p.m. (3194-B Airport Loop Dr.,Costa Mesa, CA) The mosque is open to people of all faiths.
