Obligation of Carry by Nutnfancy
Deciding to be an armed, licensed civilian is serious business. Mature, sound judgment and preparation in every facet of this decision must be exercised. And doing so is not cheap, its not convenient, it requires a perishable skill set, and its complicated by many legalities. Also expect you, the armed civilian, to be completely misrepresented by the media, lambasted and characterized as a fringe, paranoid, and borderline un-safe person. Hogwash. But that flak youll get does not change the realities of you choosing to be legally armed. Nutnfancy says YOU do incur an Obligation of Carry if you decide to walk society as a CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) ior CCP (Pistol) individual. You absolutely must have your gun on you to the maximum extent possibleno joke. Yes there are places where being armed is illegal and inappropriate but there are lot of places where it is not. In fact most places, at least in the US. In this video Nutnfancy addresses the biggest folly of most guys and gals who have gone to the effort of licensing and buying their pistol for legal carry: they just do not carry it. Why is that? Chances are they have chosen a bad system (Nutnfancy term) of carry. Perhaps a bulky or heavy gun that requires special dress and carriage that rapidly becomes so taxing that its soon left at home. Ive seen this phenomena for many times over many years: big talk about a big gun but soon that big gun is left at home and by doing so that CCW holder has abandoned his responsibility as a sheep dog keeping himself and good people safe. I advocate carrying as big a gun as you can but you MUST carry it as much as possible. And yes, there are bad people who have done (and could do) bad things to yourself and the innocent people around you. The main focus of this video is another mass shooting by such an individual. Defending against a murdering bad guy in a public place is serious business and it requires preparation, mental exactitude, and commitment. And it is fraught with lots of serious, pressured judgments and perhaps legal and civil implications (not discussed). But the good sheep of the world, along with you and your family, do indeed merit defense. And since you will be there right along with these people, threatened with death in such a scenario, that might be YOUR calling that day as an armed, responsible civilian. And do not think the police can get there in time and save these lives; they most often will not despite their best efforts (witness Trolley Square UT, Colorado Springs CO, Stockton CA, Lubys Killen TX, Virginia Tech VA shootings). And often when they do, they still have to formulate their responsesometimes even as the shootings continue (Columbine). If you are not willing to fulfill the obligation of carry, for you, your friends, your family, and all good people nearby you, then you would be better served NOT getting your carry permit and NOT carrying. You will save lots of hassle and money in the process and the end result for society will be the same. However if you join our ranks, then do so with a commitment. A commitment to find a carry system that will works for you 24/7, 365 in all appropriate places. It might just be that workable system is a .380, .38 Special, .32, or even a .25 auto pistol. So be it. At least you will be armed and with that armament you will have some options. It doesnt matter how cool, how powerful, how much firepower your wonder gun has if its sitting in the gun safe at home when that madman decides to kill good people that day. And there youll be caught flatfooted watching people die. So whats your FIRST Obligation of Carry? Having it with you. It can save livesperiod. NOTE: This video and advice makes no attempt to address your specific legalities and makes no recommendations of such. It is incumbent on you, the permit holder, to exercise good judgment and comply with your laws. Enough said. |

Yassir Fazaga - Seeking Knowledge-The Obligation on Muslims
Islam calls us to seek knowledge. The Prophet (PBUH) made seeking knowledge an obligation upon every Muslim, and he explained that the superiority of the one who has knowledge over the one who merely worships is like the superiority of the moon over every other heavenly body. He said that the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets and that the Prophets did not leave behind dinars and dirhams (i.e., money), rather their inheritance was knowledge, so whoever acquires it has gained a great share. The Prophet (PBUH) said that seeking knowledge is a way to Paradise. He (PBUH) said: "Whoever follows a path in the pursuit of knowledge, Allah (SWT) will make a path to Paradise easy for him." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, Kitaab al-'Ilm, 10) Islam calls us to learn all kinds of beneficial knowledge. Branches of knowledge vary in status, the highest of which is knowledge of sharee'ah, then knowledge of medicine, then the other fields of knowledge. The best of all branches of knowledge are the sciences of sharee'ah through which man comes to know his Lord, and his Prophet and religion. This is the knowledge with which Allah (SWT) honoured His Messenger; He taught it to him so that he might teach it to mankind: "Indeed, Allah conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent among them a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves, reciting unto them His Verses (the Qur'an), and purifying them (from sins by their following him), and instructing them (in) the Book (the Qur'an) and Al-Hikmah [the wisdom and the Sunnah of the Prophet (i.e. his legal ways, statements and acts of worship)], while before that they had been in manifest error" [Surah Ali-Imran, Ayat 164] There is no goodness in knowledge which is not confirmed by action, or words which are not confirmed by deeds: "O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do? Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do. Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly." [Surah Al-Saff , Ayat 2-4] Knowledge brings a great reward. The one who points the way to something good is like the one who does it. When the knowledgeable person dies, his reward with Allah (SWT) does not cease when he dies, rather it continues to increase so long as people benefit from his knowledge. The Prophet (PBUH) said: "When a man dies, all his deeds come to an end except for three -- an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge or a righteous son who will pray for him." (Narrated by Muslim, 1631) The first and most crucial obligation on us is to acquire knowledge and secondly to practice and preach this knowledge. No man becomes truly a Muslim without knowing the meaning of Islam, because he becomes a Muslim not through birth but through knowledge. Unless we come to know the basic and necessary teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) how can we believe in him, have faith in him, act according to what he taught? It is impossible for us to be a Muslim, and at the same time live in a state of ignorance. A person without knowledge is like someone walking along a track in complete darkness. Most likely his steps will wander aside and he easily can be deceived by shaytaan. This shows that our greatest danger lies in our ignorance of Islamic teachings and in our unawareness of what the Qur'an teaches and what guidance has been given by the Prophet (PBUH). But if we are blessed with the light of knowledge we will be able to see plainly the clear path of Islam at every step of our lives. We shall also be able to identify and avoid the dangerous paths of Kufr, Shirk and immorality, which may cross it. And, whenever a false guide meets us on the way, a few words with him will quickly establish that he is not a guide who should be followed. Knowledge is pursued and practiced with modesty and humility and leads to beauty and dignity, freedom and justice. The main purpose of acquiring knowledge is to bring us closer to God. It is not simply for the gratification of the mind or the senses. It is not knowledge for the sake of knowledge or science for the value of sake. Knowledge accordingly must be linked with values and goals. One of the purposes of acquiring knowledge is to gain the good of this world, not to destroy it through wastage, arrogance and in the reckless pursuit of higher standards of material comfort. |

Talk 3: An Established Obligation (Khilafah Conference Bri.)
Khilafah Conference Britain 2007 - "Khilafah: The need and the method" Session 1 Talk 3: Khilafah -- An Established Obligation Speaker: Kamal Abuzahra As increasing numbers of people in the Muslim World look towards Islam for solutions to their dire problems, some in the West and the corrupt leaders in the Muslim World try to question the validity and centrality of the Khilafah in Islamic thought. Kamal Abuzahra exposes this attempt by outlining not only the centrality of Khilafah in Islam, but its obligatory nature based upon clear evidences from Islamic sources. He will illustrate the opinion of traditional Islamic scholarship for centuries on Khilafah, leaving no room for the revisionist thinking that seeks to appease and validate the continuation of dictatorship and tyranny.

First obligation - IslamLehrer - al ahbash - الأحباش
Die islamischen Gelehrten aus Damaskus (Syrien), Libanon, Jordanien, Palaestina, Indien, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesien, Irak, Tuerkei, Jemen, aus den Nord-Afrikanischen Laender, und die aus allen restlichen islamischen Laendern sind sich über folgendes einig: Allâh ist über jegliche Unvollkommenheit Erhaben, wie z.B. das Er (Allâh) kein Koerper ist, oder dass man Ihm keine Richtung und keinen Ort zuschreiben darf.Diese sind im Bezug auf Allâh UNMOEGLICH!Das ist uebrigens der Glaube der sog. Sâlâf, und den Muslimen die ihnen bis zur heutigen Zeit im Glauben treu geblieben sind. Wir haben uns die Mühe gegeben eine islamische Sendereihe eines bekannten islamischen Gelehrten dieser Zeit zu übersetzendem es gelungen ist eine große Anzahl von Beweisen zusammen zubringen: Die Sendereihe hat von uns den Namen bekommen: DIE SCHLAGKRAEFTIGEN BEWEISE - AUF DER RICHTIGEN ART UND WEISE! Der islamische Gelehrte stützt sich bei seinen Aussagen, wie gewohnt auf den Quran, Aussagen des Propheten (Sunna), Übereinstimmung der Muslime, aber auch an die Aussagen anerkannter, bekannter islamischer Gelehrten der vier Rechtschulen.(Hanâfitsche, Schâfi^itische, Mâlikitische, Hânbâlitische)Ich erhoffe mir den Muslimen damit gedient zu haben. Und Gepriesen Sei Allâh, der Herr des Universums. Shaykh Gilles Sadek |

Rise Against - Behind Closed Doors
Made a vid...i hope you like it ;O) Lyrics: Chairs thrown and tables toppled, Hands armed with broken bottles, Standing no chance to win but, We're not running, we're not running. There's a point I think we're missing, It's in the air we raise our fists in, In the smiles we cast each other, My sister, my brother. About the time we gave up hoping We'd ever find these locks still open, Stumbling on stones unturned, The hurt we feel, we all have earned. The lines we cross in search of change, but all they see is treason. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. Bonfires burn like beacons, Guiding the lost and weakened. Flames dance on crashing waves, Guiding ships who've gone astray Time out, let's stop and think this through, We've all got better things to do, Than talk in circles, run in place, Answers {are} inches from our face. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. Black eyes, broken fingers, Blood drips and I let it run down my lips into my swollen gums. When hope is non-existent, Our instincts all scream "Run", We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues. Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors. If you like the band support them @ http://www.riseagainst.com/ !!! |

Re: YTA 14:2 Collaboration
The DMCA is being used as a tool for censorship and a tool for illegally getting the name and address of other Youtube users. Youtubes actions, heavily influenced by the mandates of the DMCA, jeopardizes the safety of the Youtube community. The least that Youtube could do is alert its users of the potential danger of unwittingly revealing their location to an enemy when filing a counternotice. Youtube should also inform users that they have a legal obligation to inform users that they must consider Fair Use before filing a DMCA complaint. (NOTE: I AM NOT A LAWYER, SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE READ AS LEGAL ADVICE.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Youtubes March 31, 2008 Blog entry saying: We often describe our You Choose '08 platform as "the world's largest town hall" for political discussion. http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=IRNhAzKFz_M I discuss bogus DMCAs issued under the name of the Zizzle Corporation and Viacom in more detail in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YypzdeL47h4 Youtubes DMCA notification procedure: http://www.youtube.com/t/dmca_policy Note that there is not one word on this page about Fair Use or about a users legal obligation to consider Fair Use issues before filing a DMCA. Youtube should state that users have a legal obligation to consider Fair Use issues before sending a DMCA complaint. In fact, Youtube should post a link to the recent decision in Lenz v. Universal Music Corporation in which the Judge says exactly that. http://www.eff.org/files/filenode/lenz_v_universal/lenzorder082008.pdf in order for a copyright owner to proceed under the DMCA with a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the laws, the owner must evaluate whether the material makes fair use of the copyright. 17.U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A)(v). An allegation that a copyright owner acted in bad faith by issuing a takedown notice without proper consideration of the fair use doctrine is sufficient to state a misrepresentation claim pursuant to Section 512(f) of the DMCA. |

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
"A life of hardship does not relieve one from the obligation to provide for others. Far from it. A life of hardship teaches just how much one must provide for others. Having known hunger, I know its pain too well to suffer another to go without food. Having been ignored, I know the importance of being cherished. Knowing the devastation of violence, I feel the need to spread peace. Yes, I know hardship. And for that reason I feel the obligation to relieve others from it." -Angels Among Us, The Arbinger Institute |
