Assalamu Alaykum.
Praise be to Allah who has invited us for His sake, will make us meet for His sake, love for His sake, depart for His sake and … for His sake Only for His sake.
Dearest brother, may Allah grant you peace in this life, and inshAllah make you be those whom you love. InshaAllah Jannatul Firdos.
It was nice to finally speak to you, it’s been missions trying to get your no. put on but Alhamdulillah, it’s on now.
Akhi where do you want me to start with how these ‘people’ treat me in this place. When I arrived at this prison I read a leaflet, telling us how “we welcome people” to the establishment. The officers, three of them, took me in to the strip search area stripped me of my clothes and punched me black and blue. May Allah deal with them, the police was involved but “no camera footage”. What a lie. Brother ever since then, the racial, religious and Islamic hatred. These officers are torturing the Muslims within the prison system, I don’t even know if this letter will even get to you. And they call me a terrorist what they are doing to me. Brother more bad things are going on but inshaAllah just make dua Allah strengthens us to foil there attacks on us and pray that Allah reveals what they have in their hearts so we can see why Allah chooses us over them.
Brother I’m going to ring you soon inshAllah. If you write back brother make sure it’s recorded so I sign for it, so I know I get it inshAllah.
Love you for the sake of Allah
Your little bro

Last June, while Yonas Fikre was visiting the United Arab Emirates, the Muslim and United States Citizen from Portland, Oregon was suddenly arrested and detained by Emirati security forces. For the next three months, Fikre claims, he was repeatedly interrogated and tortured. Fikre says he was beaten on the soles of his feet, kicked and punched, and held in stress positions while interrogators demanded he “cooperate” and barked questions that were eerily similar to those posed to him not long before by FBI agents and other American officials who had requested a meeting with him.
Fikre had been visiting family in Khartoum, Sudan, when, in April 2010, the officials got in touch with him. He agreed to meet with them, but ultimately balked at cooperating with FBI questioning without a lawyer present and he rebuffed a request to become an informant. Pressing him to cooperate, the agents told him he was on the no-fly list and could not return home unless he aided the bureau, Fikre says. The following week he received an email from one of the US officials; it arrived from a State Department address:
“Thanks for meeting with us last week in Sudan. While we hope to get your side of the issues we keep hearing about, the choice is yours to make. The time to help yourself is now.”

We the undersigned Nouzha Amrani and Fatiha Hassani (Um Adam El-Mejjati), the lawful wives of Moulay Umar Amrani Hadi who is sentenced to 10 years imprisonment unjustly. He is constantly being transferred to and from Toulal 2 prison and Sale’ 2 prison. We appeal to the American government to transfer its prisoner from its previously mentioned prisons to its detention centre in Guantanamo, Cuba.
This is for the following reasons:
Your prisoner suffers from various chronic illnesses, he is 47 years old, yet he is always subjected to torture. Bearing in mind he was sentenced to prison only not prison and torture.
Subjecting him to constant psychological pressure by, Provocation, humiliation, Insults and threats. He is held in a wing with the general prison population where cigarette smoke fills the air, abusive language is the norm and there is constant noise that prevents him from sleeping. For nine months he has been held in solitary confinement, in a very small cell that lacks the conditions for human residence. He was put in a punishment cell twice within three months. He is prevented from direct visits (without barriers), and being with his wife Nouzha Amrani. They suffice with a barrier visit, even his kids, Abdulrahman, 7, and Zainab, 5. Since three weeks ago his son visited him without a barrier for 15 minutes only in an office. They had a desk in-between them and were surrounded by guards. Zainab refused to go to the visit because of what she experienced before. She would remember the barriers and small windows and the fact she couldn’t sit with her father nor kiss him. He is prevented from seeing his second wife Um Adam, since the 4th of July 2011, even if the visit is a barrier visit. This continues although she has legal permission from the general prosecutor of the King in Meknes. The prison administration and all those behind it, have sought to hinder the process of completing a legal (marriage) contract, bearing in mind we have completed all the necessary procedures on our part from the date of the 28th of February 2011.

Gulet Mohamed was an average 18-year-old American citizen before a visit to family overseas resulted in his torture and indefinite detention in a Kuwaiti prison.
Mohamed, whose family is Somali, immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of three, fleeing the devastating civil war that ravaged that East African country.
Mohed Mohamed, his older brother, maintained that his family, having fled Somalia in 1995, has always been pro-American and grateful to the United States for its intervention in Somalia’s civil war in the 1990s.
Zahra Mohamed, his sister, explained that Gulet, like any other American teenager, grew up playing basketball, had an iPhone, and obsessed over the game Madden NFL. But like many American teenagers, Gulet had a bad case of wanderlust. He wanted to travel abroad to learn more about his heritage, Zahra explained.
He begged his mother to let him leave: after all, he had never known his father, and he wanted to learn Arabic. Traveling to the Middle East would let him get to know his father’s side of the family, rediscover his roots, experience his ancestral homeland, and learn the language of the Quran.
In March, 2009, Gulet Mohamed departed from Alexandria, Virginia to study Arabic and Islam in in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen. Gulet, the most adventurous of the seven siblings, was the first member of his family to travel outside the United States since the family’s relocation.
After several weeks of study, he left to visit his maternal relations in Somalia at his mother’s insistence. Residing in his uncle’s home for several months, Gulet found the environs uncomfortably hot and painfully sickening through bouts of food poisoning that left his youthful wanderlust unsated. Mohamed again ventured to visit other family living in Kuwait and to continue his studies in Arabic.
Throughout his journey of seeking knowledge and rekindling the ties of kinship, Mohamed traveled on an authentic American passport with valid visas for all of the countries on his whimsical itinerary. His past history had no indication of any violent or criminal activity, nor had he ever been arrested.
Yet, on December 20, 2010, when Mohamed went to the airport in Kuwait City to have his visa renewed (a process he had routinely engaged in every three months without incident for the past year), he was told by a visa officer that his name had been “marked” in the computer.
After five hours of uneasily waiting, Mohamed had finished sending his brother an email when he was handcuffed, blindfolded, and kidnapped by two men in civilian clothes. After a fifteen minute drive in a SUV, Mohamed was deposited in an undisclosed location. He was then dragged into a room and interrogated by officials who refused to identify themselves.

To answer your questions; those that are in regards to Yemen and my experience there and future attacks against America.
Like I said, I went to Yemen to learn, meaning more about Islam. Yemen is quoted from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a place of “Faith and Wisdom.” And it is one of the few places left in the Islamic World where people are still actually Muslims. Their faith surpasses many so-called Muslim Countries. And also, during the spread of Islam, it was one of those places like Sham (Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan) that became Muslim without a fight. So these are the reasons why I wanted to go there first and foremost.
I said to teach, meaning as a source of income; I really didn’t like teaching English considering it’s the English and others that are the enemies to the Muslims, and I felt uncomfortable teaching the language of the enemy to my brothers and sisters. So it was secondary. I taught at an Institute called “The British Academy” and others as well in Aden and Sana’a. I met many friends and brothers while in Yemen. I learned Arabic pretty fast by means of interacting with people. As far as me not knowing anyone: I knew some people there who could show me around and help me get started. It wasn’t just like I got up and moved. I made sure I had some connections first.
Yes, I was married in Yemen to a Yemeni woman. Infact, I was still considered there as engaged as far as culture wise because the culture party wasn’t fulfilled yet. My wife’s family is from Abyan and this is a province close to Aden, a province which was bombed by American drones which resulted in civilian deaths numbering as high as 60. Men, women, children, elders were murdered by Ol’ Uncle Sam. And when the same people sent a brave Islamic Warrior from Nigeria, my brother Umar Farouk AbdulMuttalib, to avenge those deaths, here goes Ol’ Uncle Sam, scratching his head, asking himself “Why?” when he knows damn well why!
