Pakistan Floods : power point
Ramadan 11, 1432/August 22, 2010 # 33
Verses of the Week
"To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to 
fight), because they are wronged; and verily Allah is Most 
Powerful for their aid; (They are) those who have been 
expelled from their homes in defiance of right, (for no 
cause) except that they say, 'Our Lord is Allah.'
"Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, 
there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, 
churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of 
Allah is commemorated in abundant measure.  Allah will 
certainly aid those who aid His cause; for verily Allah is 
Full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (Able to enforce His 
Will)."
The Holy Qur'an, 22:39-40

Why the silence on Kashmir? Thousands of people, unarmed, 
rallied against India on August 16 in Srinagar and other  
Kashmiri cities. (Fox TV News). According to the BBC, 50 
unarmed  Kashmiris have been killed by the Indian occupiers  
in rallies during the last two months.
CONTRADICTIONS
Huge numbers of Somalis are homeless owing to Ethiopian 
invasion and US-backed campaigns against the al-Shabab  
movement. Why is Somalia being ignored?
Thousands are starving in Niger. Why the silence?
By contrast, Hillary Clinton is pouring dollars into 
Pakistan to save a corrupt government which has failed 
miserably to help the flood victims. The US can see that 
Islamic groups are among the masses and are helping the 
victims of floods big time.
The floods have reached southern Sind. If the barrages on 
the Indus break, millions more will be homeless. It is time 
to  help the Islamic charities who are honest enough to 
deliver. Ms. Clinton should not be trying to save the 
regime. The people come first.
Muslims and Republicans, both fooled by Obama's super 
politics.
Shocking revelations: It is not a mosque. It is not at 
Ground Zero. Its imam is NOT an imam in any Islamic sense. 
Its "imam" has been working with U.S. intelligence for 
years.

What's the "imam's" real mission? Read this first.

"Imam" of Ground Zero "Mosque" Works for State 
Department
August 20, 2010. MANAMA, Bahrain - The imam leading plans 
for an Islamic center near the Manhattan site of the Sept. 
11 attacks said Friday that extremism poses a security 
threat in both the West and the Muslim world.
The comments by Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf come during the first 
leg of a 15-day Middle East tour — funded by the U.S. State 
Department — to discuss Muslim life in America and religious 
tolerance.
Rauf arrived in Bahrain on Thursday for a Mideast tour that 
also includes stops in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. 
The trip is funded by the State Department's Bureau of 
International Information Programs.
According to the State Department, this is Rauf's fourth 
U.S.-government sponsored trip. He traveled twice to the 
Middle East in 2007 during the Bush administration and once 
earlier this year. (AP & other wire services.)
Obituary: Faraj Hassan al-Saadi, Libyan Muslim in 
England
On August 15, 2010 a wonderful Libyan Muslim known as Br. 
Faraj led a vigil at the US embassy in London, demanding the 
release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. The next day, he was killed 
in a road accident.
For tributes and to hear his beautiful recitation of the 
Qur'an at maghrib during the Aafia rally, go to Facebook,

Unite Against Zionism: Jamaat al-Muslimeen Shoora Theme

Christian Zionism: The Tragedy and the Turning, DVD by 
Charles E. Carlson, WHTT web site.
33 minutes
Recommended by Sis. Abigail, New Trend's Resource Person on 
Christianity.
This powerful documentary illustrates the influential 
deviations which have led some Christian churches away from 
the teachings of Jesus, pbuh. Carlson focuses on the 
interpretations added to the bible in its Scofield edition 
which transgressed against the text to teach the legitimacy 
of Israel and to incite Christians to war against the Muslim 
world.
Segments of the DVD focus on Mr. Carlson's personal 
experiences in Gaza where he saw Israeli air attacks on the 
civilian population.
The DVD challenges anyone to find anything in the teachings 
of Jesus, pbuh, which could be construed to mean support for 
war.
Every Christian should see this DVD. We urge readers to 
obtain a copy from WHTT and donate it to their local 
church.
Afghanistan
$267 Million a Day in Fighting the Taliban
"Some 24 percent of lactating women are malnourished, over 
19 percent of pregnant women have a poor nutritional status 
(low on minerals, vitamins, food insecure and weak) and 
about 54 percent of under-5 children are stunted," according 
to the U.N., "Afghanistan is second only to Sierra Leone in 
terms of having the world's worst maternal and infant 
mortality rates."
Currently, in its war against the Taliban, the U.S. is 
spending about $267 million each day in Afghanistan--nearly 
$100 billion a year. In theory, if that money was directed 
solely at Afghanistan's food needs, the U.S. could spend 
about $9 per day on each Afghan.
Latest War News from Afghanistan (Western sources only)
88 NATO troops were killed in hit and run Taliban attacks 
during July. Fighting has died down in August as the Taliban 
fast and pray. Till now 37 NATO troops have been killed in 
August.
August 21: A NATO air strike killed an Afghan woman and her 
2 children in western Farah province. The same day in 
Jawzjan, NATO bombardment killed 10 civilians and 4 Karzai 
police supporting NATO.
August 20: In the latest Taliban ambush, two Australian 
troops were killed and two wounded in southern Uruzgan 
province. The troop had come out of their late model armored 
vehicle when the watching Taliban hit them with a homemade 
explosive. At least 20 Australian troops have been killed 
and 147 wounded so far in Afghanistan. (Our reporter adds, 
Australians are known for their racism and crusader 
mentality. What business does Australia have here?)
August 19: Taliban raiders attacked road construction crews 
and security forces working on roadways for NATO troops in 
Helmand province, Sangin area, killing 30 and wounding 
others.
All the checkpoints on the Sangin-Gereshk road were captured 
by the Taliban in the daylong battle.
Ambush in Yemen: Near Loder town, Abyan province, Yemeni 
troops armed by the US fell into an al-Qaida-in-Arabia 
ambush. At least 11 Yemeni troops are reported killed. The 
Yemeni force opened artillery fire in the general direction 
of al-Qaida killing 3 civilians and wounding 10. The Yemenis 
claim to have killed 7 al-Qaida mujahideen.

Juma Khutba Emphasizes non-Cooperation with Oppressors.
Fasting is a Means to an end, not an end in itself
On August 13, 2010 in Baltimore's Masjid Jamaat 
al-Muslimeen, Dr. Kaukab Siddique gave the first juma' 
khutba of the sacred month of Ramadan. The masjid was packed 
owing to Ramadan but we are summarizing the main points of 
the khutba for countrywide distribution.
Text 1: "O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as 
it was prescribed for those before you that perhaps you may 
achieve TAQWA", [The Qur'an 2:183]
Text 2: "And incline not towards the oppressors or the fire 
will touch you, and you have no protectors other than Allah, 
nor shall you be helped." [The Qur'an 11:113]
1. Ramadan gives us an opportunity to achieve a new level of 
taqwa.
2. The term taqwa has layers of meaning. The most important 
is Fear of Allah and awareness of Allah, leading to 
self-awareness and social awareness,
3. Thus fasting which does not develop taqwa is not Islamic. 
Allah does not want us to starve: Allah wants us to learn 
self-restraint and discipline.
4.  Even when Allah gives us permission for sexual 
intercourse at night, it couples the permission with 
re-configuration of husband-wife relations.
5. "They are your garments and you are their garments" 
[2:187] emphasizes the complementary nature of husband-wife 
relations. Not superiority of one over the other, but 
togetherness and oneness. The garments beautify the 
positives and conceal the deficiencies.
6. Worship in Islam makes rejection of false gods essential, 
be they the gods of nationality, race, wealth, power or 
gender.
7. As 11:113 points out, Islam does not permit cooperation 
of any kind, even the slightest, with the oppressors.
8.  Even thinking of cooperation with oppressors is 
forbidden, in the words of the Qur'an, "incline not to those 
who do wrong," let alone actual, physical cooperation.
9. As Muslims we are civic-minded and decent people. We do 
not violate the law of the land. We are good neighbors, 
honest workers and trustworthy friends.
10. That does not mean that we should cooperate with the 
oppressive power structure. No one is forcing us and Islam 
does not permit us to work for or with the White House, the 
Pentagon, or the intelligence services. All such cooperation 
is strictly haram.
11. Prayer and fasting are meaningless if we our loyalty is 
not with Allah but with the oppressors. Fear of humans is 
not an acceptable excuse.
12. Today we find a man with a Muslim name and claiming to 
be Hafize Qur'an working for the White House. We find a 
woman wearing a head covering working for the White House. 
All such acts are haram. These activities demean Islam, 
violate our sanctities and are meant to mislead and confuse 
Muslims.
Du'a
O Allah! give victory to the Muslims of Iraq, Afghanistan, 
Kashmir, Somalia, Chechnya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Bangladesh 
over the occupiers, the imperialists, the munafiqoon, the 
exploiters and the oppressors.
O Allah! Help the Muslims of Baltimore, of Maryland and 
America to unite on the basis of the Qur'an and the 
authentic Hadith.
O Allah! Help the Ummah of Islam to drive the Yahood out of 
Palestine.

Nigerian Reader Wants Protests Against Qur'an Burning
Salam. How is the Ramadan fasting in the US? We are having

Fasting on the Wrong Day & Kuwaiti Move
Ramadan Mubarak!
I had to stop my youngest brother from Fasting.  He lives in 
Texas.  When he couldn't verify his sources for beginning 
the Fast on August 11th he stopped immediately.  I referred 
him to the IslamicMoon.com site for future reference.
Also, the news is reporting that Kuwait and other hot cities 
throughout the "Muslim World" are setting their clocks back 
an hour early so that the Fast ends quicker because it is so 
hot in these areas.   Is that apart of the Sunnah.  I am not 
aware of it.
Is there any special consideration given to Muslims Fasting 
in 115 degree areas?

Iraq: 150,000 minus 450 = 50,000 ?
Report from New Trend's Iraq monitor
August 18, 2010: MSNBC TV showed the withdrawal of 450 US 
troops, a combat unit in its vehicles, from Iraq into 
Kuwait. MSNBC, a mouthpiece of the Obama administration, 
presented the withdrawal as a great event, showing it 
vehicle by vehicle!  Rachel Maddow, MSNBC host, was flown 
over to Iraq for the purpose.
MSNBC claimed that the bulk of US troops have been withdrawn 
and ONLY 50,000 are still in Iraq to train the Iraqis! There 
were 150,000 US troops in Iraq. If 450 have been withdrawn, 
that leaves 149,550 still in Iraq.
The attempt at fooling the American people continues.
Mujahideen guerrilla forces in Iraq were able to survive US 
military action for more than 7 years. For the last two 
years, the occupation forces have remained in fortified 
positions and reduced their losses drastically.
(According to icasualties 4416 US troops and 179 British 
troops have been killed in Iraq. The US losses include 46 
killed this year. Every day reports of fighting come in from 
Mosul where US backed Shi'ite troops are trying to control 
the most important Iraqi city in the north.)
Major parts of western, northern and northeastern Iraq 
remain under Islamic control. Reports indicate that a major 
slice of western Iraq, as well as most of Mosul, some of 
Kirkuk, the bulk of Diyala province and a district of 
Baghdad are under the control of al-Qaida (known as the 
Islamic State of Iraq). Saddam's Islamist forces, led by the 
martyred president's trusted leader al-Douri, control the 
rest of western Iraq and parts of Baghdad.
The US installed Shi'ite clique rules Basra, Najaf, Karbala 
and parts of Baghdad and the southeastern border in 
cooperation with Iran. The Kurdish areas are quite disturbed 
except for the secularized enclaves supported by
Israel which look like cheap copies of small town 
America.
GENOCIDAL ATROCITIES: Scores of Iraqi towns were destroyed 
by the US occupation forces. The Muslims were not allowed to 
take refuge in mosques. Hundreds of mosques were desecrated 
and/or destroyed by US troops.
Abu Ghraib was only the tip of the iceberg of atrocities 
committed against the Islamic masses. Here is our 
remembrance of one such crime:
A 14 year old victim:
"Abeer Qassim Hamza Al-Janabi, Iraqi citizen, sister, and 
daughter. Born August 19, 1992. Gang-raped, murdered, and 
burned by U.S. troops March 12, 2006. Her parents were also 
killed. "
Latest War News from Iraq:
August 17: A martyrdom operator attacked a military 
recruitment center in Baghdad which was signing up Shi'ite 
troops. Wire services report 59 recruits killed, more than 
100 wounded in the huge explosion. Islamic State in Iraq 
[Iraqi al-Qaida] took responsibility.
Shi'ites are reportedly the backbone of the US occupation of 
Iraq with funding from the US and iran.

Pakistan: Treachery at Highest Level
500,000 Homeless  but Health relief operations in Jacobabad 
are not possible because the airbase is controlled by the 
US.
The stunning statement was made by Health Secretary 
Khushnood Lashari during an appearance at the Senate 
Standing Committee on Health on Wednesday.
"Health relief operations are not possible in the 
flood-affected areas of Jacobabad because the airbase is 
with the United States," Mr Lashari said while answering a 
question asked by Senator Semeen Yusuf Siddiqui of PML-Q. 
Dr Jahanzeb Aurakzai, coordinator of the Health Emergency 
Preparedness and Response Centre, said: "Foreign health 
teams could not start relief operations in remote areas 
because there are no airstrips close to several areas, 
including Jacobabad."
The town has been evacuated and 500,000 to 700,000 people 
have been affected. People displaced from Jacobabad, Thul, 
Kandhkot, Kashmore, Ghouspur and Karumpur are camping in 
Dera Allahyar.
"It is very unfortunate that Americans can launch a drone 
attack from Shahbaz airbase but the government is helpless 
even in using the country's base for relief operations," 
Senator Semeen said while talking to this correspondent. 
She said the health ministry should have requested the army 
to ask the US to allow relief operation from the base.
"I don't know why the health minister failed to report the 
matter to the quarters concerned, specifically the Pakistan 
Army.
"The airbase, which I think the government has given on 
lease to the Americans, should be used to provide immediate 
health relief to the flood-affected people."
The committee, headed by Senator Kulsoom Parveen, was 
briefed by officials on health-related operations in the 
affected areas.

Latest Jamaate Islami Relief Effort News
LAHORE, Aug. 19: The Jamaat e Islami Secretary General, 
Liaquat Baloch visited different flood affected areas and 
inspected the relief activities of the JI and the Al-Khidmat 
Foundation.
The two organizations are distributing relief packages 
containing dry ration, milk packets, and other eatables 
among the flood affectees.
The JI secretary general appreciated that the Al-Khidmat 
volunteers and JI workers were serving their brethren in 
distress with true Islamic and humanitarian spirit.
Addressing JI workers, he said the floods had caused 
colossal losses estimated around Rs. 600 billion all over 
the country. [$1 = Rs. 80]. Thousands of people had died and 
thousands of cattle heads had been washed away while 
hundreds of villages had been eliminated.
He said the international community had rightfully expressed 
distrust in the ruling junta for relief because of its 
corruption, nepotism and commissions. Negligible amounts had 
been received in the relief funds of the President, the 
Prime Minister and the Chief Ministers. On the other hands, 
people from within the country and abroad had expressed full 
confidence in the country's religious parties for donations 
for the flood affectees.
Especially, Saudi Arabia had come out with massive help for 
our people as was really praiseworthy. On the other hand, 
the feudal lords and the elite class of the country had 
demonstrated their anti people mindset by breaching 
protective bunds to save their personal properties, which 
was a big crime.
Saudi envoy donates 5 tons of rice for flood affectees
LAHORE, Aug. 16: The Saudi ambassador in Pakistan, Abdul 
Aziz Ibrahim al- Ghadeer, handed over five tons of rice to 
the Jamaat e Islami Secretary General, Liaquat Baloch as 
Saudi donation for the flood affected people, at a ceremony 
held at  Hafizabad, on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, the Saudi envoy said that the 
people of the holy land fully shared the grief and the 
sufferings of their Pakistani brethren caused by the rains 
and floods which was the common calamity for  both 
states.
The Saudi ambassador commended the flood relief efforts of 
the Al-Khidmat Foundation and said his country would 
continue its assistance for the flood affected people both 
at government and philanthropist level.
Speaking on the occasion, Liaquat Baloch said Saudi Arabia 
was Pakistan's most trusted brother Muslim state and the 
Pakistani people have deep love and religious attachment 
with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, he said, had been extending 
maximum help and assistance to this country in every 
difficulty..Assistance in the present natural calamity was a 
big service to  humanity, he added.
He expressed the hope that the Pakistani people would emerge 
out of the  present trial with firm resolve and 
confidence.
Meanwhile, Dr. Mubashir Siddiqui, JI Sargodha chief and Dr 
Muhammad Farooq, district chief Al-Khidmat Foundation, 
handed over a check for Rupees 1,500,000 besides relief 
goods worth Rs. 3,000,000 to Liaquat Baloch at a ceremony 
held at  Sargodha.
Jamaate Islami Leader re-visiting Flood Areas: Big Islamic 
effort to help people
Government Flood relief not reaching real affectees. Extreme 
Corruption in Secular Ruling Party.
Huge Supply of Tents Stolen. US Bombed Civilians, Now 
promising Aid!
LAHORE, Aug. 16: The secular ANP government in Khyber 
Province [previously known as Frontier province]  is 
distributing the flood relief funds and material among the 
undeserving people in the areas that are safe from flood 
while the flood affected millions are being neglected, the 
Jamaat e Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan said in Peshawar 
on Monday.
The ANP government is doling out the aid received from 
abroad and within the country among its voters in areas not 
hit by the floods, he said at a ceremony held at the Islamic 
centre, for distribution of flood packages among the 
affectees.  Ex-MNAs  Shabbir Ahmed Khan, Sabir Awan and 
Abdul Akbar Chitrali, were also present.
Syed Munawar Hasan said the provincial government had 
received 250,000 tents which were nowhere to be found. 
Similarly, Saudi Arabia had donated tons of dates which too 
were missing. This indicated large scale bungling, he said. 
He called for an explanation from the government on this 
score.
He said it was most condemnable that in the beginning, the 
government showed criminal neglect by not giving a timely 
warning to the people about heavy rains and floods. Even 
afterwards, the people were left at the mercy of the flood 
water while the high ups in the government simply watched 
the devastation from helicopters.
He said the President, the Prime Minister and chief 
ministers were making tall promises to the affectees and 
even the US had promised aid. Ironically, he said, on one 
hand, the US was killing innocent people in drone attacks 
while on the other hand, it was promising relief. He said 
the ANP government was responsible for the drone attacks.  
Syed Munawar Hasan appreciated that the workers of the JI 
and the volunteers of Al-Khidmat Foundation besides some 
NGOs were busy in flood relief efforts  purely with  the 
spirit of service to humanity and to earn divine 
blessings.

Not Really a Mosque. Not Really an Imam or Muslim. Long time 
FBI Collaborator.
Obama's Political Acumen: He fooled Muslims and Provoked Fox 
TV "Rightists"
By Kaukab Siddique
The idea that a mosque is to be built at the site of the 
Twin Towers demolished on 9.11 by Muhammad Atta and 18 
others shows the astute political moves of President Obama. 
He fooled the Muslims into thinking that an actual mosque is 
to be built. In fact there will be NO dome or minarets. 
There will be NO ADHAN reaching out into New York. Many 
Muslims were fooled by the media hype and started getting 
agitated and supported Obama.
A number of writers have noticed that, Cordoba House, as it 
is called,  is not to be a mosque but a cultural center. 
Here is one relevant comment:
From Mark Sledge, July 28: "...the building planned for 45 
Park Place is a cultural center with a prayer room -- not a 
single-purpose house of worship for Muslims, which is 
probably what we should reserve the word "mosque" for. As 
Haberman also explains, "That it may even be called a mosque 
is debatable. It is designed as a multi-use complex with a 
space set aside for prayer -- no minarets, no muezzin calls 
to prayer blaring onto Park Place. The 92nd Street Y, on 
which the Cordoba House is explicitly modeled, has a whole 
host of Jewish events take place inside of it, but no one 
calls it a synagogue. There's no good reason why Cordoba 
House should be misleadingly called a 'mosque.' I've been 
guilty of using this word too, in conversation and in 
writing, but it's inaccurate. Muslims already read the Quran 
and pray at 45 Park Place, but that does not and will not 
turn it into a 'mosque.'"
More interesting are the facts about Abdul Rauf, the 
so-called Imam of the so-called Ground Zero mosque. (It's 
not at Ground Zero and it's not a mosque.)
On August 18, 2010 Keith Olbermann, a staunch supporter of 
Obama, a good Jew, and veteran of MSNBC TV defended "imam" 
Abdul Rauf. The key point he made was that Abdul Rauf should 
be considered a patriot because he has been cooperating with 
the FBI for a very long time.
Even more interesting is an article which appeared in 
Atlantic Magazine. A Jewish writer, Jeffrey Goldberg, wrote 
in defense of "imam" Abdul Rauf He quotes the "imam" as 
saying that he is a Jew:
"The right-wing campaign against the so-called "Ground Zero 
mosque" includes vicious personal attacks on the Muslim 
cleric who leads the Cordoba Initiative, the organization 
behind the plan. I know Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, and I know 
him to be a moderate, forward-leaning Muslim -- yes, it is 
true he has said things with which I disagree, but I have 
never expected him to function as a member of the Zionist 
Organization of America."
"In 2003, Imam Rauf was invited to speak at a memorial 
service for Daniel Pearl, the journalist murdered by 
Islamist terrorists in Pakistan. The service was held at 
B'nai Jeshurun, a prominent synagogue in Manhattan, and in 
the audience was Judea Pearl, Daniel Pearl's father. In his 
remarks, Rauf identified absolutely with Pearl, and 
identified himself absolutely with the ethical tradition of 
Judaism. 'I am a Jew,' he said. There are those who would 
argue that these represent mere words, chosen carefully to 
appease a potentially suspicious audience. I would argue 
something different: That any Muslim imam who stands before 
a Jewish congregation and says, "I am a Jew," is placing his 
life in danger. Remember, Islamists hate the people they 
consider apostates even more than they hate Christians and 
Jews." (The Atlantic, August 20, 2010.)
All this would not have come out if the worst enemies of 
Islam, the right wing extremists, had not launched a 
powerful campaign against Obama, using the "mosque" as a 
rallying point to condemn him. They jumped in head first: 
the worst scum like Spencer leading them. Mediocrities like 
Michelle Malkin, O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Ann 
Coulter, Hirsi Ali, Irshad Manji etc etc flourish on the 
deep suspicions and fears of right wing Americans who think 
Obama might actually be a Muslim and a non-American. [Under 
the veneer of conspiracy theories crawls the monster of 
racism. Obama is Black or at least semi-Black.]
Allah is the Best of Planners. He has helped US Muslims to 
see both parties working against Islam. One side wants to 
deceive the Muslims, infiltrate them and win collaborators 
in Muslim lands. The other wants to launch military 
operations against Muslim countries, as if under Bush they 
did not drop enough bombs to kill tens of thousands of 
people.
Obama wants to use American Muslims, like Abdul Rauf, ISNA, 
CAIR, ICNA, Aga Khanis, Qadianis ["ahmedis"] and others to 
infiltrate Islamic communities and destroy them from within. 
The Republicans want to terrorize US Muslims and to brand 
them as potential terrorists. The Republicans are no match 
for Obama. Let's hope the Republicans do more. They might 
actually awaken the IMAN, asleep deep in the souls of many 
US Muslims who have been drugged by the 4-letter 
organizations.
Obama Reassures Israelis, Stresses Ties to Jews
Ynet News (Israel)
US President Barack Obama gave an interview to Channel 2 
Wednesday night in which he said his administration had 
provided Israel with more aid than any other before it .. .. 
In an interview aimed at assuring Israelis of the US's 
support, Obama ventured a guess as to why they were 
mistrustful of him. "Some of it may just be the fact that my 
middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion," he 
said. "Ironically, I've got a Chief of Staff named Rahm 
Israel Emmanuel. My top political advisor is somebody who is 
a descendent of Holocaust survivors. My closeness to the 
Jewish American community was probably what propelled me to 
the US Senate."

Since the end of World War II, authoritative claims about 
the character and scope of killings at the Auschwitz 
concentration camp have changed drastically. One 
particularly striking change concerns the various "official" 
estimates of the number of victims - a number that since 
1945 has been steadily declining .. .. Aumeier's testimony, 
which Meyer accepts as valid, suggests that Jews were killed 
at Auschwitz not as part of an comprehensive extermination 
program systematically to kill all European Jews, but rather 
as an exceptional measure to curb the horrific epidemics 
that were ravaging the Auschwitz I and Birkenau camps .. .. 
Compared to the recently "authoritative" figure of 
approximately one million Auschwitz deaths, Meyer has 
reduced the number of Jewish victims there by at least 
450,000.
