bismillahi Rrahmanni Rraheim. In the name of Allah The Most Gracious he Most Merciful. Assalaam alaykoum Wa rahmatullahi Wabarakatouh. This is my video response to my campaign’ “What do you LOVE about ISLAM?” A campaign for ALL Muslims!’ www.youtube.com ON THE 10th of JANUARY (10.01.2010) alhamdulillah first and foremost, that we are Muslims. All the praises are due to Allah Taalah for the greatest blessing of our lives: our Islam. Islam is the faith that defines us, defines who we are, defines our identity. Islam is the religion that Allah has chosen for us, has perfected for us, and has granted us as the Quran has eloquently expressed “This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” (5:3) Islam is a favor, Islam is a privilege, Islam is a bounty from Allah. Islam does not need us. We need Islam. All we have to do is to be grateful for such a great blessing and say, “Praise be to Allah who has guided us to this: never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah” (7:43) But why is it that we believe that Islam is such a tremendous bounty from Allah? Because there is nothing like Islam on earth: It is Islam that has taught human beings that the Lord their God is One and Only. That He has no partners, no wife, and no son, and that there can be no compromise on the unity of God.

Washington, DC February 16, 2010) The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) facilitated a meeting with John Brennan, Assistant to the President on National Security for homeland security and counter terrorism. The meeting was intended to start a dialogue between government officials and Muslim American leaders to explore issues of national security, including the important role the Muslim American community plays to thwart security threats and improve the deteriorating relationships with Muslim countries. The meeting, organized by the White House under the title A Dialogue on Our Nations Security, was co-sponsored by the Islamic Center at New York University, the Islamic Law Students Association at NYU, and the White House Office of Public Engagement.

The terrorist attacks of 9/11 shocked all of us, she pointed out, and left us feeling vulnerable, confused and angry.

Most major banks now offer their own credit cards. Washington Mutual(Wamu) is a national brick and mortar and online bank. Banks have many different types of credit cards, which makes sense after taking over or merging with several other banks that had numerous types of credit cards themselves. Like most banks offering their own series of credit cards, Wamu has a wide variety for consumers to choose from.
With so many option to choose from, we have made it easy for you to get a card custom fitted for you.
This bank actually has its own branch that deals just specifically with credit cards and nothing else. Most major banks have a dedicated credit card division that is subsidiaries of the main company. The theory behind this is that by running the company this way there will be more direct service and better response to the customers’ needs and desires.
There are many different levels of cards. There are basic credit cards, the gold card, the platinum card, rewards card, and a wide variety of business credit cards, as well, so you can keep business separate from personal expenses. There is a plan in the near future to eliminate the gold cards and make all opening cards platinum level. This might make it harder for individuals with terrible credit to start out with a card, but it also means the most base line of Washington Mutual credit cards will have a higher level of bonuses.
One of the best features of the Wamu platinum credit cards is that they all start out with a 0% APR for a limited introduction time, and they also all have natural protection in case someone makes an unauthorized charge on your card. That way if you ever suffer from identity theft or errant charges, you will not be held responsible. There are many credit card companies that force you to pay extra for that kind of payment protection, as either a flat fee or a percentage of the outstanding balance.
Online servicing sites allow users to check their balances and payment information any time of the day. One free credit score is kept track of every month, so in addition to being able to pay online and see everything about your credit card in a glance, you can also keep track of your over all credit health by keeping track of your credit score.
Aside from the basic platinum cards, there are also the “real rewards” credit cards, which offer a point for every dollar spent, which can then be used for a wide variety of services from restaurant coupons to gift certificates to frequent flyer miles. This wide variety of uses for these points is a plus, and everyone likes to get a little extra bonus for using their cards.
There are a lot of credit card companies out there, but the added bonuses of a great online page, as well as natural anti-theft protection helps Wamu credit cards to stand out a little bit stronger over the rest of the competition. If they continue to improve services, then they’re sure to remain a favorite credit card among borrowers everywhere.

In addition to protecting your credit rating, it is also important to protect the physical credit card itself. Having the card in your possession is not enough, as people can write down the number on the card and use it to make fraudulent purchases. Identity theft has become a problem that costs consumers and companies billions of dollars each year.
Even if fraud, banks and credit card company have never directly affected you will pass down the costs of fraud to consumers. An example of this is the foreign currency transaction fees that you will have to pay when you use your credit card in foreign countries. When you look at it like this, credit card fraud has an effect on virtually everyone. There are a number of things you can do to make sure your card and the numbers on it are protected at all times.
Never provide your credit card number over the phone to someone you didn’t initiate the call with. You should make sure you know whom you are talking to before you give them your credit card number. Even if the person says they are affiliated with a well known company, if you didn’t call them, don’t give them your credit card number until you’re sure. If you mistakenly give them your information, immediately call your credit card company and cancel the card.
You also want to avoid using websites that you’re not familiar with. Since the rise of the internet, fraud has become rampant, and many people have become the victims of identity theft. When you make a purchase at a website, make sure they have security statements. In addition to this, look for a small yellow lock that is closed. It will be located on the bottom right side of the screen. If possible, only carry one credit card at a time. People who carry around multiple cards are likely to lose them. Once you lose your card, the chances of you becoming a victim of fraud dramatically increase.
Always look at your monthly credit card statement to make sure there are no unauthorized charges. If you see something suspicious, immediately call the credit card company. Whenever you close an account, immediately cut up the cards before discarding them. When you get a charge receipt from the store, make sure you shred it prior to throwing it away. Doing these things will help you avoid becoming the victim of fraud.

If you haven’t heard of Norton Security Software, then chances are good your computer is not as secure as it needs to be. Norton is one of the leading manufacturers of software that protects your computer from viruses, spyware, malware, adware, and other annoyances that attempt to access and do damage to your computer system. By installing Norton anti-virus and some of their other products on your computer, you will be protected from almost all threats lurking on the Internet.
The use of security software does not, of course, mean you can afford to be careless with common sense steps of action we all must take. For example, there is no software that can counter a person leaving an important password taped to a computer monitor. But whatever protection is needed on the computer itself, Norton software is up to the task.
Quite simply, Norton has security solutions for your computer that work. Whether you have just one home computer or a multitude you use for business, you can protect your system(s) from some of the worst Internet predators. Norton’s newest anti-virus software is one of the leading protection programs because it not only detects the viruses and spyware, but it eliminates them once detected. Before such malware can even hit your computer, Norton finds locates and blocks it so that your computer is never in any danger. Norton anti-virus software works with your email messages as well, so you never need to be concerned about attachments you receive from strangers or even friends.
If the threat of identity theft keeps you awake at night, you may also want to arm your computer with the Norton Internet Security program. It detects and eliminates spyware as well as encrypts some of your most critical passwords so that no one can hack into your computer and steal your identity. It is a complete system for any computer, and provides the best protection against possible hijack attempts.
If all you need is a firewall, then Norton offers that software as well. Considered to be the most effective of all firewalls, it regulates and monitors all your Internet traffic, both incoming and outgoing. That means any intruders that are meandering their way toward your computer to steal valuable information are rejected. By essentially making your computer anonymous, you will not have to worry about scammers that have found you and stolen your personal information. Also, what is more important is that this software locates and repairs any security breaches you may have on your computer. You simply download updates and necessary patches as Norton makes them available.
If you not only connect through the Internet on a home compute, but via a PDA as well, Norton offers products for that device. It works just like the home computer software option but is installed in your PDA. Norton updates the software when the PDA syncs onto your computer, so that you get all the necessary and current protection available.
With Norton software on your computer, you no longer need to fret that your computer could be hijacked and your data stolen or destroyed. Instead, you can surf the Internet securely knowing you are no longer vulnerable to so many everyday attacks.

1. Sign all your credit cards on the signature strip immediately as you get them.
2. The pin numbers — they are the key to your credit card, if you can’t memorize them, write them on a paper and keep them at a safe place. Don’t write them in every nook and corner of your office, workplace or home. If anyone gets the pin of your credit card things will get serious for you.
3. Don’t carry a wallet full of credit cards with you. The last thing you would like is dropping a credit card from your wallet, simply because it was too unmanageable.
4. It is a good habit to keep the credit cards separately from any identity proof like drivers license in your wallet. The reason is that if someones gets your wallet he shouldn’t get complete clue about your identity.
5. People often leave their credit card unattended, where they become easy prey for fraudsters. It is always advised to keep them safely.
6. During any credit card transaction, don’t let the credit card stay away from your attention. Get it back as soon as the transaction is completed. Keep a check on what the counter clerk is doing with your credit card. The reciepts of any credit card transactions should be kept safely and if they are not useful it is good to destroy them.
7. During online transaction using credit cards make sure that the website is SSL protected and shows the secure transaction signs.

Personal computers are widespread and shared computers are a popular means for internet access. These “public” computers exist in libraries, colleges, coffee house cyber cafes, and other places. They are popular because they offer quick, convenient access to the world wide web. Unfortunately, they are also very popular with identity thieves because they present an easy means to access the personal information of others. Just recently, a young twenty- two year old former Drexel University student pleaded guilty to identity theft and she openly admitted stealing more than $116,000 worth of money through various schemes.
Credit cards, banks, and even online sites that are not used to transact business still contain personal data that needs to be protected and this problem is compounded further with shared computers. Are there ways to protect against this type of theft when using a shared computer? Let’s take a look:
Protecting Your Identity:
Shared computers are common in many places, like libraries, schools, hotels, coffee house cyber cafes, etc. Remembering these simple precautions can help keep your personal information your own:
Never select the “Remember My ID” box:
Many web sites offer the option to remember your personal id on that particular computer. This offers added convenience, but this option should never be selected on a shared computer. If an ID is remembered, it will be stored on the shared computer and will likely remain logged into the web site, offering a thief easy access your personal data.
Never Save Passwords:
Similar to the option to “remember my id”, many web sites offer to save your password. This option is usually presented when you logon and it is intended as a convenience measure. With shared computers, however, passwords should never be saved. If an identity thief logs onto a site with a saved password, there is no doubt what will happen next. The thief will already have your password and will logon immediately to seek your personal information.
Don’t Forget to Sign Out Completely:
Signing out is as important as not selecting the options to remember your personal ID and password. You should always remember to sign out of all web sites. If you remain signed in, your account will be openly accessible to identity thieves. It’s like placing your logon id and password on a silver platter and turning over to an identity thief.
Begin the Habit of Changing Passwords Frequently:
Changing passwords is a good idea whether a computer is shared or not, but it is especially important on a shared computer for two important reasons: spyware and malware. If a shared computer becomes infected by spyware or malware, these programs will quickly obtain your password and logon id combination because spyware and malware record every key stroke made on the infected computer. To avoid this problem, change passwords frequently using a non- shared pc.
Erase the Contents of the Browser’s Cache:
Personal computers contain copies of all the web sites visited. This cache needs to be cleared, if possible, after using a shared computer. Some libraries, colleges, and other places do not permit individual access to this area, but it doesn’t hurt to check upon logging off, just to see if it is possible.
Don’t Sign Into a Shared Computer and Walk Away:
This sounds simple enough, but the temptation to logon to a shared computer at a library, school, hotel, or cyber café and walk away for a quick break or other purpose is always present. Giving into this temptation might satisfy a hunger pang or the urge for a drink, but while away from the computer, an identity thief could quickly walk over to the abandoned pc and access whatever personal information is exposed in front of him/her. To be completely safe, get into the habit of logging off immediately before taking a break when you use a shared computer. Even a short break of a few minutes is enough time for a determined thief to obtain personal information.
Avoid Transactions That Involve Secure Financial Data
Shared computers should always be avoided when logging into web sites that contain any type of personal financial data. This includes sites used for banking, purchases, and other sites that contain secured data stored in the site. Web sites like blogs do not usually contain the sensitive information that an identity thief wants and are thus less important. However, a site like a bank, brokerage service, or online store contains extensive amounts of personal information including access to financial data. You don’t ever want to compromise something as important as your money.
Shared computers are popular and they can be found in libraries, schools, hotels, and other places. They offer convenience, and this is the primary reason for their popularity. However, with this added convenience comes the added chance for identity theft. A single shared computer can easily be accessed by hundreds of people each day, making it critical that individuals take the necessary precautions to prevent theft of personal information. Taking some simple steps like the ones listed above can help prevent identity theft before it begins. These steps won’t prevent one- hundred percent of the instances of identity theft, but they will greatly reduce the chances for falling victim to this type of online crime.
