94.2 Billion bill, but only 8% of bill is towards none military operations. Fund Diplomacy, not War.
National Call-In Day:
The Obama Administration has asked Congress for another $83.4 billion in supplemental funding for ongoing military, diplomatic, and intelligence operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the bill’s voyage through the House Appropriations Committee, that amount has ballooned to $94.2 billion. Yet, only about 8% of the funding in this bill is for non-military activities. [1]
Members of Congress will vote on the supplemental as early as this week. Now is the time for constituents to voice their concern over an extension of the failed policy of subordinating diplomacy to military activities.
Today, May 12th, join the National Call-In Day and let your representative know that you support funding for diplomacy, development, humanitarian aid, and the safe withdrawal of troops, but that you oppose funding for extended military operations.
http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/call.html
While making your call, urge your representative to co-sponsor a bill by Congressman James McGovern that would require President Obama to provide an exit plan for Afghanistan no later than December 2009.
There is no military solution to the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Funding for these conflicts must reflect reality -- that only diplomacy and development will lead to a stable Middle East.
Calling your representative is easy - just follow the simple instructions below:

Thank you for all you do for a just foreign policy,

Israel shoots an Irish Nobel Peace Prize winner
Irish Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire has been shot with a rubber[-coated metal] bullet by the Israeli military while taking part in a nonviolent civil rights protest organised by Palestinians and Israelis.
The incident took place on Friday 20 April, and Ms Maguire, famed for her work for reconcilition in Northern Ireland, has now returned home.
She won her Nobel Laureate for galvanizing popular demands for a just peace and opposition to both military and paramilitary acivities during 'the troubles'.
She said yesterday: “I was invited with my friend to attend a nonviolent conference in Bilin, a village outside Ramallah [in the West Bank], and to give a talk there, which I did. At the end of the conference, we were invited to participate in a nonviolent demonstration with some of the Palestinian members of parliament and Israeli peace activists and local villagers and international visitors.
“We walked along to try to walk up toward the separation wall, and it was a totally nonviolent protest. And we were viciously attacked by the Israeli military. They threw gas canisters into the peace walkers, and they also fired rubber-covered steel bullets."More

Justice in The Quran
In the name of god the most gracious most mercyful
Bism Allah Alrahman Alraheem
"If you do judge, judge between them justly.God loves the just" Quran 5:42
The true justice described in the Quran commands man to behave justly, not discriminating between people, protecting others rights and not permitting violence, no matter the circumstances, to side with the oppressed against the oppressor and to help the needy. This justice calls for the rights of both parties to be pretected when reaching a decision in dispute, assessing all aspects of an incident, setting aside all prejudices, being objective, honest, tolerant, merciful and compassionate.
In the events one fails to display any of these characteristics or attaches greater importance to a particular one, then it becomes hard to exercise true justice. We must seek justice and set all personal feelings aside , we need to treat all parties with justice when they ask for our help. A person should incorporate the values of the Quran into ones soul in such a way that he may be able to consider the interests of others parties before his own and maintain justice, even if this harms his own interests
O You who believe! show integrity for the sake of god, bearing witness with justice. Do not let hatres for a people incite you into not being just. Be just. That is closer to faith. Heed god (alone).God is aware of what you do. Quran 5:8
As this verse suggests, God knows everything a man does, one who fears god and who is aware of that will have to account for his deeds on the Day of judgment, Any Muslim who knows the Quran knows this .
The Quran teaches all Muslims to put an extra effort to put their selfish desires aside and adopt the guidance of justice and compassion, tolerance and peace. God in the Quran gives a detailed description of the true justice in the Quran and informs us that all sorts of disagreements can be solved by the maintenance of justice, In a society made of righteous administrators and just peoples, it is obvious that all problems can be easily over come .
lets look at this verse which is so powerful in my eyes the verse reads
O Mankind! We created you from a male and female and made you into people and tribes so that you might come to know each other, the noblest among you in gods sight is the one of you who best performs his duty(towards mankind). God is all knowing , all aware. Quran 49:13
this verse clearly teaches that all humanity is one family and that the difference in races ect is not to differentiate who is better the who , but simply to get to know each other, the prophet ( pbuh) also said An Arab has no superiority over a none Arab ,nor a none Arab has superiority over an Arab,also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has superiority over a white except by piety and good actions.
There are so many more verses and examples of the teachings of Islam to its followers to uphold justice, stand up for the oppressed, to speak the truth even against ones own family and relatives.
