Differences between wahabis and sunnis?
asked Oct 30 '13 at 16:32 suniza 36●13

@Anakata, beloved I read what you had posted and I wrote on the topic than I erased it, for I didn't want be the cause of dispute among Muslims. But after I re-read what you have post I see the importance of dealing with your claims. With that said lets proceed!
Allah azza wal jall has stated in the qur'an,
" And verily! This your religion is one religion, and I'am your Lord, so keep your duty to Me." (23:52)
Beloved, this is the haqq and our duty is what Allah has commanded us,
" And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of Allah, and be not divided among yourselves." (3:103inpart)
Now the sunnah says reported by Abu Hurairah, " The Jews and the Christians were divided into seventy-one or seventy-two religious sects, and this nation will divide itself into seventy-three religious sects- all in hell, except one, and that one is: The one on which I and my companions are on today." (At-tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Abu Da'ud)
Beloved, allow me to quote from you the first being, " Wahhabi Muslims are followers of Mohammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab in the 18th century Arabia."
The second being, " Sunni Muslim believe in the four Imams of fiqh"
Beloved we can agree on one thing and that is, it is not legislated anywhere in the Qur'an and the sunnah to follow any school of thought or any man for the Rasul saws was US WATUM HASANAH, the best example to follow. You have made the claim that you are a Wahhabi Muslim so to get a grasp on your statement one must first learn what that title entails, and the question to ask is, " Was the Rasul saws or his companions such? Lets deal with the first part of my statement, then we will deal with the question inshallah.
Imam Muhammad Ibn Abidin (1784-1836CE) stated,
"The name of KHAWARIJI is applied to those who part ways with Muslims and declare them kufr, as took place in our time with the FOLLOWERS OF IBN ABD AL-WAHHAB who came out of Najd (in Eastern Arabian peninsula) and attacked the two Noble Sanctuaries (Mecca-Madina). They (Wahhabis) claimed to follow the Hanbali school, but their belief was such that, in their view, they alone are Muslims and everyone else is a mushrik. Under this guise, they said that killing Ahlul al sunnah and their scholars was permissible, until Allah the Exalted destroyed them in the year 1233 (1818CE) at the hands of the Muslim army." (Imam Muhummad Ibn 'Abidin, Hashiyat radd al-muhtar ala al-durr al-mukhtar, 3:309 chapter on rebels)
Now beloved these words was stated many years ago and the words are reflected in your post today, the shaykh stated that Wahhab was a of the Hanbali school of thought, you say different in your post, my question to you is," you say that the those who claim to be sunni are in error four accepting the four schools but you accept a school of thought from Wahhab the only difference is that he is the Imam, what is the difference?" Where is it legislated? While you ponder this lets move forward.
The wahhabis claim the title of salafi, to indicate that that they are following the pious predecessors. Before proceeding further, it is helpful to have some grasp of the application ofthe noun Salaf and its adjectival correspondent Salafi. For example, scholars speak of the salafi school of Qur'anic interpretation, a misnomer since it does not refer to the pious predecessor but to the scholars who came mush later. The Sunni understanding of the term Salaf, however, is firmly grounded in the words of the Prophet saws pertinent to its meaning. In the well known tradition, when he was asked about which age was best:
" The best age is this one; then the one that follows it; then the one that follows that one." ( bukhari-Muslim)
In other words, the best age of mankind is the one in which he was sent, that is, the age of his companions. The next best age is that of the successors to the companions, and the next i the successors to the successors. It is of these three generations that the scholars of islam speak when they use the term salaf. Anyone else is of the kalaf.
Now please allow me to state what those that follow Wahhab are upon and I will use his words form one of his fatwas inshallah,
" He who believes that the meaning of Allah's hand in verses such as " Allah's hand is over their hand" is His power; or that allah's establishment (istiwa) is his overpowering (istila), or that Allah is in every place,is an ignorant, misguided innovator who has contravened the SALAFI DOCTRINE (al-'aqida al-salafiyya) FOLLOWED BY THE PROPHET, HIS COMPANIONS, AND THEIR PIOUS FOLLOWERS SUCH AS THE FOUR IMAMS AND THE SCHOLARS WHO SUCCEEDED THEM." ( Rasa'il wa fatawa li a-shaykh Muhammad ibn 'abd al-whahhab wa abna'ih, page 14 Question 14.
The problem with his fatawa is that he attributes a doctrine to the Rasul saws and his companions tis in it self is haram. I'm going to stop here so you can respond to these facts, inshallah, I wll deal with your statement about woman being third rate citizen for this is not the haqq. I humbly wait for your reply. salaam

Beloved i dont know if you said this statement out of sincerity or sarcasism. Be that as it may, you can check my post while here on this site I dont shoot from the hip, actually I held back for the sake of brotherhood. But i will wait to see where you go from this point. salaam
(Nov 06 '13 at 22:50) yaqin ♦
Mike read my post and you will come to your own conclusion. Salaam
(Nov 07 '13 at 15:42) yaqin ♦
@yaqin, i quess i don't understand. i thought the salafi movement is to return islam to the practices of the prophet and his companions. "In other words, the best age of mankind is the one in which he was sent, that is, the age of his companions."
do they not mean to consolidate all of islam into one "sect"? "all in hell, except one, and that one is: The one on which I and my companions are on today."
my conclusion from what i think it is and your statements is you say: yes? but i don't want to put words in your mouth.
or i guess yo are saying the only people who could be salaf are dead
(Nov 07 '13 at 16:06) mikejm2
and present day people should be refered to as kalaf? "It is of these three generations that the scholars of islam speak when they use the term salaf. Anyone else is of the kalaf."
again naming games aren't that important to me. the question is, is their brand of islam the correct one? their sharia proper. you seem in line with them on most issues? are there any you differ?
can you kindergarten it down for me, i don't really follow. maybe a simple yes or no would help. then the indepth explaination of history and terminology? my brain doesn't work quite right due to all the saddness. ;)
(Nov 07 '13 at 16:13) mikejm2
Mike if you read what I said in my post is clear, no it is not the call to proper islam, and I dont side with their dawah if it goes against the quran and sunnah, but if it does than I accept the truth of the quran and sunnah where ever it comes from. I told you before when you thought I was shia remember. The kalaf mike is those generations after the salaf. And it is from these people that wahhab drew his version of islam. For their is no books written by the salaf, understand. Read what the Anakata said he is a wahhabi muslim. The Rasul was no such thing. So how can this be right? Salaam
(Nov 07 '13 at 16:33) yaqin ♦
i remember, (bare with me, i know little of this history) you are what a_girl may call "just muslim". you're a free thinker, why do you think i like you. so malik, hanif, hanbal, shaf (whoever) were not (companions/salaf) or within the first three generations?
do not the wahhabi/salafi mean to emulate the prohet and his companions, the first three generations, thus the name salafi.
why i thought you were a shia is because you seemed to be saying the companions, especially abu bakr had acted inappropriately, "unislamicly", if you will. so if i follow, and i may definately not....
(Nov 07 '13 at 17:02) mikejm2
you are saying all schools and sects are derived from men, after muhammad's death and are therefore subject to flaws. even the "rightly guided?/pious companions?" errored from time to time and those errors have made their way into some schools of fiqh. therefore you believe that when one blindly follows a school they may be misguided by fiqh which is not the right path, which deviates from the sunnah.???
didn't think anakata said he was a wahhabi. he seemed to compare more sufism (not the arabia part ofc) and more orthodox sunni. but you should know best, i best re-read.
(Nov 07 '13 at 17:09) mikejm2
@yaqin, tis true what you say, I have come across many types of Muslim, and i have learnt, that i will not assign myself to any particular school. We should adhere to the Quran, the Hadiths, be they from 4 books, and none should be favoured above another. It is wisdom and insight that comes from understanding, and knowing Allah Himslef, in turn knowing ourselves that is most fundamental here.With time and given knowledge, outreaches any mans inferences on religion. As faith ,patience and perseverance, in seeking Allah is the highest school we can learn from.
(Nov 07 '13 at 17:27) abyadgirl
Mike what you have said is exactly what I'm saying after the demise of the Rasul saws many things have crept into the deen. Most get caught up on titles of men and in their minds they raise them up to holy status. Salaam
(Nov 07 '13 at 17:56) yaqin ♦
@yaqin, was that so hard to say? three months trying to figure out what you're getting at. rightly guided/pious companions/calamity of thursday/fadak(something). man it's like pulling teeth. i know i know, you're trying to let people follow the natural path to their own conclusions, but seriously, some of us are slow on the uptake. state your destination, remember me saying that?
anyway, it was actually kind of a fun journey, you're very cryptic for those of us who are uninformed and monolinguistic. it was like a mini da vinci code or something. peace.

The major difference between Sunni and Wahabi is the beliefs and rituals. Sunnis are in majority and almost 90% percent of Muslims around the world belong to Sunni sect whereas the members of Wahabi movement are located in Saudi Arab. There are a few main and major as well as many secondary differences between the Sunni and Wahabi Muslims which caused these sects to be cut off from each other and emerge independently.
The major difference between them is that Wahabis believe that Prophet Muhammad should be praised only as a human being whereas Sunnis show extra special care and respect towards the Prophet of Islam.
Sunni Muslims celebrate the birthday of the Holy Prophet and arrange Meelaad. Meelaad is a form of gathering in which the Sunni Muslims get together and praise the Holy Prophet. The birthdays of Sufi saints are also celebrated with much dedication and enthusiasm. The day of their deaths are commemorated in the form of Urs. Wahabi Muslims do not believe in celebrating and practicing all these events which are very strongly rooted in Islam. Wahabis call these practices of events as unlawful and wrongful innovations. Wahabis also believe that this is as close as to shirk or polytheism and Sunnis follow the ways of infidel Hindus.
Sunni Muslims believe that Prophet Muhammad is Nur and still present in this world. Whereas Wahabis do not believe in using pious individuals as intermediaries when asking Allah as they consider it shirk or polytheism. Sunnis believe in the saints and mysticism whereas Wahabis do not believe in mysticism, intercession and prostration as well. Sunni Muslims visit the tombs of the saints and perform tawassul for the blessings of Allah whereas it is the greatest sin for a Wahabi.
Sunni Muslims believe in four imams of fiqah or Islamic laws such as Hanfi, Hanbli, Malakii and Shaafeyii whereas Wahabi does not follow an Iman in Fiqh. Wahabi Muslims are a group of fundamentalists and have an orthodox version Islam. Wahabis in Saudi Arab do not allow their females to work side by side with their men and they also are not allowed to drive a car. The women are treated as third rate citizens and they are bound to wear a long abayaa or garment to cover them from head to toe. Sunni Muslims are moderate and believe in the equality of women as suggested by Islam.
There are many differences present in their rituals of praying, marriage ceremonies, dresses etc. Wahabi Muslims have separate mosques and schools. Wahabi Muslims are followers of Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahab in the 18th century in Arabia, and his movement came up against a lot of opposition from the Indians Sunni Muslims. Members of the Wahab movement in Saudi Arabia believe their role as a restorer or reformer to free Islam from negative deviances, heresies, innovations, superstitions and idolatries. Wahabis prefer to eliminate music and listening to songs. They are against watching television and drawings of living things which contain a soul.

Lets get back to this topic, the muslim has made some broad claims. True there are some muslim that do some of the things the brother had claimed but this is do to schools of thought. No scholars of ahlul sunnah condones these practices or promote it. What I will present is the haqq on the salafi dawah school of quranic interpertation, also none as wahabis. Salaam

Brother, that was a nice statement.
I never answer an Islamic question without having a Quranic or Hadith proof. Having no proof is just a futile for me.
(Nov 04 '13 at 20:24) Anakata
Beloved I don't grasp the reason of your statement, I never suggested that you did anything of the sought. What you did do is make a blanket statement, when I post what I have to say it will be from textual proof inshallah.

Salam brother Anakata, there are several statements which you have included in your post which leave me perturbed. As you state that all information is derived from the Qur'an and the Hadiths please provide the references. Brother, I would very much appreciate your efforts.
'Sunni Muslims celebrate the birthday of the Holy Prophet..'

'...these events which are very strongly rooted in Islam.' (referring to the above)
'...Wahabis do not believe in using pious individuals as intermediaries...' (does this insinuate that Sunnis do?)
'Sunnis believe in the saints and mysticism'
'Sunni Muslims visit the tombs of the saints and perform tawassul for the blessings of Allah'

@stronghold this mindset is what causes seperation in the brotherhood of islam. My heart aches for I know this is not what the prophet brought or taught. You asked for proof and I'm waiting to see it. Salaam

May Allah guide us to the truth for this life is too short to spend it upon misguidance. The brotherhood should be one and instead we are in fragments. How on earth did this come about?

Wahhabism ( Wahhābiyyah) is an ultra-conservative branch of Sunni Islam, (though some people dispute that a Wahhabi is a Sunni). It is a religious movement among fundamentalist Islamic believers, with an aspiration to return to the earliest fundamental Islamic sources of the Quran and Hadith, with inspiration from the teachings of Medieval theologian Ibn Taymiyyah and early jurist Ahmad ibn Hanbal.
Initially, Wahhabism was a popular revivalist movement instigated by an eighteenth century theologian, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792) from Najd, Saudi Arabia. He began his movement through peaceful discussions with attendees of various shrines and eventually gained popular support by convincing the local Amir, Uthman ibn Mu'ammar, to help him in his struggle. Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab advocated a popular purging of the widespread practices by Muslims being what he considered to be impurities and innovations in Islam.[citation needed]
Mohammed bin Abd Al-Wahhab's teachings have become the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia. The movement claims to adhere to the correct understanding of the general Islamic doctrine of Tawhid, on the "uniqueness" and "unity" of Allah, shared by the majority of Islamic sects, but with an emphasis on advocating following of the Athari school of thought only. Ibn Abd-al-Wahhab was influenced by the writings of Ibn Taymiyya and questioned the prevalent philosophical interpretations of Islam being the Ash'ari and Maturidi schools, claiming to rely on the Qur'an and the Hadith without speculative philosophy so as to not transgress beyond the limits of the early Muslims known as the Salaf. He attacked a "perceived moral decline and political weakness" in the Arabian Peninsula and condemned what he perceived as idolatry, the popular cult of saints, and shrine and tomb visitation.
The terms Wahhabi and Salafi and ahl al-hadith (people of hadith) are often used interchangeably, but Wahhabism has also been called "a particular orientation within Salafism", considered ultra-conservative and which rejects traditional Islamic legal scholarship as unnecessary innovation.
Salafism, on the other hand, has been termed as the hybridation between the teachings of Ibn Abdul-Wahhab and others which have taken place since the 1960s.
The movement gained unchallenged precedence in the Arabian peninsula through an alliance between Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and the House of Muhammad ibn Saud, which provided political and financial power for the religious revival represented by Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. The writer El Khabar Ousbouî suggests the popularity of the Wahhabi movement is in part due to this alliance and the funding of several religious channels.
The Wahhabi subscribe to the primary doctrine of the uniqueness and unity of God (Tawhid). The first aspect being belief in Allah and His Lordship that He alone is the believer's lord or Rabb. The second being that once one affirms the oneness of worship to Allah and Allah alone. The third is belief and affirmation of Allah's Names and Attributes. Wahhabi theology is very precise in its creed or Aqeedah where the Quran and Hadith are the only fundamental and authoritative texts taken with the understanding of the Salaf. Hadith however in Wahhabi books is not taken from the Prophet but from his companions who came to existence years after him. Commentaries and "the examples of the early Muslim community (Ummah) and the four Rightly Guided Caliphs (AD 632–661)" known as Athar narrations are used to support these texts, hence the name of the school of theology given as Athari, but are not considered independently authoritative.
Ibn Abd al-Wahhab further explains in his book Kitab al-Tawhid, which draws directly on material from the Quran and the narrations of the Prophet, that worship in Islam includes conventional acts of worship such as the five daily prayers; fasting; Dua (supplication); Istia'dha (seeking protection or refuge); Ist'ana (seeking help), and Istigatha to Allah (seeking benefits and calling upon Allah alone). Therefore, making du'a or calling upon anyone or anything other than God, or seeking supernatural help and protection that is only befitting of a divine being from something other than Allah alone are acts of "shirk" and contradict the tenets of Tawhid. Ibn Abd al-Wahhab further explains that Muhammad during his lifetime tried his utmost to identify and repudiate all actions that violated these principles.
The most important of these commentaries are those by Ibn Abd al-Wahhab in particular his book Kitab al-Tawhid, and the works of Ibn Taymiyyah.[citation needed] Ibn Abd al-Wahhab was a follower of Ahmad ibn Hanbal's school of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) like most in Nejd at the time, but "was opposed to any of the schools (Madh'hab) being taken as an absolute and unquestioned authority".
However Ibn Abd al-Wahhab did not totally condemn taqlid, or blind adherence, only at scholarly level in the face of a clear evidence or proof from a hadeeth or Qur'anic text. Although Wahhabis are associated with the Hanbali school, early disputes did not center on fiqh and the belief that Wahhabism was borne of Hanbali thought has been called a "myth".
Wahhabi beliefs leave no space for tolerance or acceptance of any other religion other than Wahhabism. Amb. Winsor (chairman and owner of the American Chemical Services Company) describes Wahhabism as Sunni Theofascism that imposes its beliefs on others by force.
SUNNIS Sunni Islam (/ˈsuːni/ or /ˈsʊni/) is the largest branch of Islam; its adherents are referred to in Arabic as ahl as-sunnah wa l-jamāʻah, "people of the tradition of Muhammad and the consensus of the Ummah" or ahl as-sunnah. For short, in English, they are known as Sunni Muslims, Sunnis, and Sunnites. Sunni Islam is the largest religious denomination for any religion in the world. Sunni Islam is sometimes referred to as the orthodox version of the religion. The word "Sunni" comes from the term Sunnah, which refers to the sayings and actions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad as recorded in Hadiths.
The primary collections consisting of Kutub al-Sittah accepted by Sunni orthodoxy, in conjunction with the Quran and binding consensus, form the basis of all jurisprudence within Sunni Islam. Laws are derived from these basic sources; in addition, Sunni Islam's juristic schools recognize differing methods to derive verdicts such as analogical reason, consideration of public welfare and juristic discretion.
After the death of Muhammad, Muslims who accepted Abu Bakr as the first Caliph became known as Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah or "the people of tradition and unification" in order to differentiate them from the Shi'a, who rejected Abu Bakr's authority in favor of Hazrat Ali, whom Sunnis accepted as the fourth Caliph rather than the first.
The first four caliphs are known among Sunnis as the Rashidun or "Rightly-Guided Ones". Sunni recognition included as the first was the aforementioned Abu Bakr; as, the second, Umar; as the third, Uthman ibn Affan; and as the fourth, as mentioned above, Ali. After the first four caliphs, the Caliphate was upheld as a political system by dynasties such as the Abbasids and the Ottomans and the Mughal Empire of South Asia. It was also upheld for relatively short periods of time by other competing dynasties in al-Andalus (Spain), North Africa and Egypt. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk abolished the system of the Ottoman Caliphate after Abdülmecid II was officially deposed and expelled from what was once the Ottoman Empire, whereby the Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923 upon secular principl
Sunnis believe that the companions of Muhammad were the best of the Muslims. This belief is based on prophetic traditions such as one narrated by Abdullah, son of Masud, in which Muhammad said: "The best of the people are my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them." Support for this view is also found in Qur'an, according to Sunnis. Sunnis also believe that the companions were true believers since it was the companions who were given the task of compiling the Quran. Furthermore, narrations that were narrated by the companions (ahadith) are considered by Sunnis to be a second source of knowledge of the Muslim faith.

Google is decommissioning old products, but for some reason it seems almost all of these retirements relate to Microsoft. Google Apps, for instance, is bailing on support of older versions of IE.
And more recently Google decided to stop supporting ActiveSync for Exchange (could the push to make all things Gmail have anything to do with it?).
Google Sync, which keeps Gmail, Google Contacts and Calendar all up to date, relies in part on ActiveSync. This is a benefit to Microsoft users, especially mobile folks, and their ability to keep Google and Microsoft-based item in line.
Google recently began charging for Google Apps for Business. Those customers will be weaned off ActiveSync where the change for free users will be more abrupt.
Do you use ActiveSync or Google Apps? Share your thoughts on either at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Google is just a big AG (Attention Getter), and this is likely yet just another way to get people to say the word 'google' and get their name in the news. Everything they do seems to focused on making the news, and that is their intention - remember they are an ad company at heart. I say we just ignore them.
Weeks after the announcement, I've yet to read an analysis that concludes this was a smart move for Google.
Google is not being smart. People like using Outlook with Google sync. Its practically Exchange server. Now what? Users have to use a browser?
Google is already losing clients. I know of two local companies that just recently switched from Google Apps to Microsoft's hosted Exchange due to the fact that Google Apps wasn't reliable enough. Now without active sync.... It's just a plain dumb move Google.
I don't believe Google can chase Exchange out of the game. I believe this is going to hurt all their hardware products. I bet they rethink this. From my 6 foot view of the world it sounds nutz. From 50,000 feet...who knows.
One of the reasons I stick to Android phones is for its ActiveSync capabilities. Take that out and my next phone will probably be a Windows based device.Bravo Google, bravo...
Google is acting stupid lately. Their arrogance is going to be their downfall.

Tribal College Tour Inspires Walmart Partner
February 28, 2011
Ronnette Smith is the Senior Manager, Corporate Affairs - Constituent Relations for Walmart, a corporate supporter for the American Indian College Fund (the Fund). As part of her duties, Ms. Smith had the chance three years ago to attend a tribal college tour of Montana with the Fund, visiting two tribal colleges there to learn more about how Walmart support was helping to change the face of American Indian education. Little did she know that the tour would also change her. Ms. Smith shares her story in her own words below:
More than three years ago, I attended a tribal college tour with the American Indian College Fund with a group of investors, board members, and corporate partners. The experience motivated me greatly to complete a graduate degree that I had begun at Phoenix University more than 13 years ago.
When I saw firsthand the tribal college communities, the resources they operate with, and the dedication of their teachers, students and faculty, I was gripped with respect and compassion. Miracles happen daily in the hands of these faithful few. Students work full-time jobs often while caring for children or ailing parents and still press their way towards a higher education.
I completed a Master of Science degree in Leadership and Ethics from John Brown University in December 2010.

It's been some time since the Black Knight Nation had a reason to be optimistic about their football team.
Cellar dwellers in the Jefferson District the last few seasons, including nine losses in 2011, Charlottesville has experienced an uprising, winning three out of their last four ballgames.
That includes a win over Fluvanna two weeks ago, their first JD win since 2009.
The Black Knights followed that up with an impressive 28-7 victory over Monticello last week, all of which has the team excited about the future.
"These couple of wins that we've been having have boosted everybody up. It boosted the family up, the Black Knight Nation up a lot," junior tailback Chris Thurston explained.
Head coach Eric Sherry is in his second year at CHS. He experience a tough debut season but has seen the "lightbulb" go off for his young team.
"Winning cures a lot of ills. We started this process last year and obviously losing isn't a lot of fun. We lost nine times last year but I think the kids have embraced the process and they've gotten better every week, and that includes building from last year."
If they want to take another big step forward in their development, they'll have to get by 6-0 Western Albemarle in our Friday Night Endzone Game of the Week. Charlottesville hasn't beaten Western since 2004.
The Warrors enter the game riding their own wave of momentum with big wins over Monticello and defending JD champs Powhatan.
But the Black Knights are experiencing a different feeling for them this time of year, and hope to carry over that positivity into Friday night.
"It's been a long time coming," sophomore linebacker Larry Anderson said. "I know each and every guy wants to win the District so we're just going to work hard and hopefully come out with a victory on Friday night."

Take Action for Migrant Rights on December 18, International Migrants Day
In this season of Advent, we commemorate International Migrants Day on December 18. We are in preparation for the birth of the Christ child, who was born in a manger and was taken by his parents to a foreign land as they fled Herod's violence. Jesus came to proclaim a reign of radical welcome and hospitality and of justice for all of God's people. As we prepare to welcome the Christ child let us also model his radical hospitality by affirming the rights of migrants around the world.
Some 200 million people live or work in a foreign country. Because they are outside the legal protection of their home countries, migrants are often particularly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation, and their rights thus require special protection.
International Migrants Day on December 18 recognizes the efforts, contributions and rights of migrants worldwide. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the United Nations (U.N.) migrant rights convention.
The convention establishes human rights for migrants regardless of their status. It aims at guaranteeing equality of treatment and the same working conditions for migrants and nationals. It provides guidance on the elaboration of national migration policies based on respect for human rights and the rule of law. It sets out provisions to combat abuse and exploitation of migrant workers and members of their families throughout the migration process.
However, to date, only 44 nations have ratified the convention. Ratification means a nation agrees to abide by the convention's framework and make their national laws and policies compatible with the convention. The United States has not signed nor ratified the convention.
United Methodist Women joins the Global Campaign for Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Migrants, Migrant Rights International, National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Amnesty International and other organizations in a push for universal ratification of the migrant rights convention.
The Global Forum on Migration and Development 2010 was an intergovernmental gathering in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in which United Methodist Women participated as a civil society observer. At that November 2010 event, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navanathem Pillay affirmed that human rights are inherent and do not stop at borders. She stressed that governments are obligated to apply international legal instruments dedicated to the rights of migrants. She urged countries to ratify the Migrant Workers Convention: "It's shameful that only about 40 states have ratified this convention," she said.
Call on your senator to support the DREAM Act
You can take action to support migrant youth in the United States by calling your Senator and urging him or her to pass the DREAM Act (the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act). The DREAM Act is bipartisan legislation that addresses the situation of young children who were brought into this country without proper documents by their parents. The act provides steps that will allow these youth to obtain lawful permanent residency, provided that for two years they attend college or serve in the U.S. military and meet other requirements. The number to call is 202-224-3121 to reach anyone in Congress. Or you can find them on the U.S. Senate website. The DREAM Act is likely to be considered this month, so please call often.
On December 14, Harriett Jane Olson, Deputy General Secretary and Inelda González, President of United Methodist Women sent a letter to the Senate urging passage of the DREAM Act, as well as a letter to United Methodist Women encouraging members to call the Senate this week and take action. Their letters are linked on the sidebar. Please circulate these widely.
Encourage the U.S. government to ratify the Migrants Rights Convention
International Migrants Day is a key moment to push for U.S. ratification of the Migrant Rights Convention. Take time in Advent to take action for migrant rights.
Write to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging President Obama to sign the treaty and to make ratification a priority:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
PA/PL room 2206
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20520
Dear Secretary Clinton,
I am a United Methodist Women member. The rights of migrants are central to our concern for women, youth and children around the world. I urge the Obama Administration to show support for migrants' rights by signing and urging Congress to ratify the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (the Migrant Rights Convention). By doing this the United States acts on its commitment to protect the human rights of migrants, recently reaffirmed by Assistant Secretary Eric Schwartz at the Global Forum on Migration and Development in Mexico. Please keep me informed of the steps you are taking for U.S. action on this convention. Thank you.
Celebrate the contributions of migrants and protest of abuse and discrimination against migrants.
See the sidebar for more resources on International Migrants Day.
Some rights endorsed by the Migrant Workers Convention
- Protection from discrimination or distinction of any kind on the basis of sex, race, color, language, religion or convictions, political or other opinion, national ethnic or social origin, nationality, age, economic position, property, marital status, birth, or other status.
- Freedom to leave any country, including your home country, and the right at any time to re-enter your home country.
- Treatment with humanity and respect for your dignity and cultural identity. Detained migrants are entitled to the same rights as nationals in the same situation.
- Right to participate in meetings and activities of trade unions.
- Family reunification and protection of appropriate measures to ensure the protection of the unity of your family.
- Equal treatment as citizens in protections against dismissal from employment, regardless of legal status.

Tempers flare during early rounds of the Sony Open
Whether it's the heat, the humidity, or the general fatigue the players must be feeling in the last significant hard court tournament of the spring season, everyone has been on a short fuse at the Sony Open. The early rounds have seen tempers fly. Player vs. Countryman. Player vs. Fans. Player vs. Umpire. Player vs. Supervisor. No one was safe in Miami.
Here's a roundup of just a handful of incidents during the first three rounds of play:
Michael Llodra called Benoit Paire "a little s**t": It should have been a routine first round match between the two Frenchmen, but as the match unfolded on Court 1 the two reportedly had to be physically separated by the umpire early in the first set when Paire felt Llodra fired a verbal volley at him after Paire raced out to a 3-0 lead. According to Paire's coach Lionel Zimbler, it all started in the first game when Paire made some gesture of annoyance at an umpire's call. Llodra felt Paire was trying to intimidate the umpire and told him during the changeover not to "act like a little s**t."
Zimbler says Paire was taken off-guard by Llodra's comments and asked the umpire to intervene. The umpire did not. Paire took offense. And any goodwill between the two countrymen went out the window. Paire began yelling his own obscenities after points, while Llodra claims he didn't say anything else to Paire to incite him. The umpire had to issue each man a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct during the first set, which Llodra came back to win in a tiebreaker. Paire never recovered.
After Llodra won the match 7-6, 6-2, there was no handshake. The crowd booed. Benoit didn't care. "Benoit gets serenaded with boos as he walks off the court and responds by enthusiastically waving to the crowd," blogger Ricky Dimon tweeted.
"I won't ever talk to him again," Paire reportedly said. "He tried everything to upset me while I was dominating the game. He insulted me."
Jerzy Janowicz was rattled by the pro-Brazilian crowd: They don't call it the "South American Slam" for nothing. Fans and bloggers on site lit up Twitter on Saturday when the pro-Brazillian crowd seemed to take over the second round match between Poland's Jerzy Janowicz and Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci. Janowicz — yes he of the epic "HOW MANY TIMES" meltdown at the Australian Open — couldn't deal with the rowdy crowd that seemed to insist on inserting themselves into the match to back their man.
It worked, as Bellucci went on to upset the 21st seed 7-6, 3-6, 6-3. Amy Fetherolf, a tennis blogger writing for Tennis Panorama, was on-hand and had a prime seat for all the action.
As Janowicz served to force a first set tiebreak, the crowd began to boo and whistle. He threw his arms up in the air, encouraging the crowd to boo louder. They were happy to oblige. They booed him enthusiastically again when he paused to tie his shoes between points. His pleas to Nouni to calm the crowd went unanswered.
Janowicz continued to fire up the crowd, giving them a thumbs down during one of the changeovers as they booed him, and laughing at the reaction he got.
The third set was one-way traffic for Bellucci, even though he paused to receive treatment from the trainer for a gluteal injury. He held from 15-40 down, and Janowicz spit on the court in frustration.
Meanwhile, the crowd's rancor was growing exponentially. A man sitting directly behind Janowicz's coach began yelling and chanting, "Go home, Polska." Nouni did not intervene, perhaps having given up on controlling the crowd. Janowicz laughed through the last changeover.
Bellucci served out the match successfully, much to the crowd's delight. Janowicz bolted for the exit immediately, chased by a trail of boos, whistles, and jeers.
"He's already lost. Let him be," Janowicz's coach said to the man behind him who was chanting for Janowicz to go home.
Here's video of the 12th game of the first set when things started getting out of control, and the first set tiebreak.
You can catch a full "Tweetcap" of the crazy match over at The Changeover.
Jurgen Melzer got a bogus time violation: The new ATP time violation rule is officially out of control. During the third round clash between Jurgen Melzer and Tobias Kamke, the chair umpire issued a time violation to Melzer after the Austrian's serve was delayed because Kamke was busy wiping a bug off the court. That's right. Melzer, who was standing at the service line ready to serve was issued a time violation because he politely waited for his opponent to attend to a bug.
Everyone was puzzled, including former pro Ivan Ljubicic:
So i learned that a server can get a time violation even if he is ready. But returner is not. Thats new #melzer #kamke #umpire #mistake—
Ivan Ljubicic (@theljubicic) March 24, 2013
Here's video of the incident:
But what incensed Melzer the most was the tournament supervisor's complete unwillingness to step in and intercede. The supervisor can't overturn an umpire's ruling of "fact" but he can intervene to help clarify a rule and ensure it's applied properly to the umpire's interpretation of the facts. In this case he seemed pretty comfortable deferring to the umpire.
Never really understood what is the supervisor doing on the court. They never change any chair umpire decision. Should stay in the office—
Ivan Ljubicic (@theljubicic) March 24, 2013
@theljubicic so i was right? I felt I was just waiting for him?!—
J Melzer (@jojomelzer) March 25, 2013
It all turned out alright for Melzer in the end. He came back to win 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the fourth round.
Svetlana Kuznetsova's very audible non-obscenity: When is an audible obscenity not an audible obscenity? That was the question during Svetlana Kuznetsova's third round loss to Ana Ivanovic on Sunday night. She was issued an audible obscenity warning in the second set after yelling something after missing a shot. Kuznetsova claims she said "pista", which means "court" in Spanish. The Croatian umpire says she heard her say something else .
"You said something that is very bad in my language," Mirjana Cicak says, possibly referring "pička" or "pizda", which are bad words in the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language. Kuznetsova was incredulous and refused to shake the umpire's hand after the match.
Take a look at the video. What do you think Kuznetsova said?
I'm a big fan of umpires cracking down on players swearing in foreign languages. It's a bit unfair John Isner, Serena Williams or Andy Murray have to watch their language while the Spaniards, Serbs and Croats get away with far worse in their native tongues. But did Cicak really think Kuznetsova was cussing in Croatian? Does Sveta even speak Croatian? Are all players now charged with knowing all the major curse words in all languages in order to avoid accidental code violations?
Hopefully the emotions will settle down as the tournament enters its second week.

Great Gatsby Party d'Oeuvres
Ceasar Salad Bites:
Salad Ingredients:
2 heads of romaine lettuce, cut into ½ inch strips
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
Dressing Ingredients:
2 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (or 2 fillets)
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
Parmesan cheese (to top)
Cocktail skewers
Crouton Ingredients:
6 slices of favorite bread
½ tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon of pepper
Cooking spray
If you are going to make the croutons yourself, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. While the oven is preheating, lay the slices of bread on a cookie sheet and coat lightly with cooking spray on both sides. In a small dish, combine all of the seasonings for the croutons. Sprinkle the seasonings evenly on both sides of the bread. Bake until golden brown and crisp. Put the toast aside to cool.
The dressing is very simple. In a blender, combine all of the salad dressing ingredients with the exception of the olive oil. Blend until smooth. Pour this mixture into a jar with a lid, or anything else you can shake, with the olive oil. Shake vigorously until the dressing thickens.
To assemble, spear 5 or 6 leaves of romaine onto the end of each cocktail skewer. If you baked your own croutons, this is the time to cut them into ¾ inch cubes. Follow each lettuce chunk with a crouton and then half of a cherry tomato. Drizzle dressing over all of the skewers, and top with some crumbled crouton and parmesan cheese.
Makes 24 skewers (with extra dressing).
Shrimp & Crab Cocktail
½ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 ½ teaspoon worcestershire sauce
Sugar to taste
24 Jumbo Shrimp, cleaned and peeled with tails
¾ pound Crab Legs, shredded
In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, lemon juice, horseradish, and worcestershire sauce. Taste this mixture, and if you find it to be too strong add a pinch of sugar.
In a small cocktail glass place a dollop of cocktail sauce and top it with a small mound of crab. Garnish each cocktail glass with a shrimp on the rim.

Energy storage for
Office and Commercial
JC Penney Headquarters, LEED Gold
Plano, Texas
Why should building owners and engineers consider energy storage for
office/commercial building applications?
CALMAC has partnered with The Durst Organization (PDF, 87 Kb), Underwriters Laboratories,
Kohl's, DuPont, IBM, DaimlerChrysler, Wang, American Airlines,
McDonald's, Marriott Hotels, JC Penney, and other customers throughout the world.
CALMAC worked closely with the JC Penney team when they decided that
energy storage would be the best cooling solution for the company's
Plano, Texas, headquarters. Energy cost savings were originally
projected at $250,000 annually; however, the system has saved JC Penney
over $300,000 in annual energy costs.
We also encourage you to fill out our thermal
storage analysis form, and a member of our team will contact you with an
evaluation of your facility.
Within this site you can learn more about CALMAC's IceBank energy storage systems and
the specific benefits that this type of HVAC system can provide for you.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

News Releases by Email
News Release
Thursday, March 18, 2010
Media contact: Officer JoAnne Adams, 863-581-6990; Gary Morse, 863-648-3200
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) cautions boaters in the greater Tampa Bay area to
be on the lookout for manatees moving into feeding areas from
warm-water refuges. Almost 300 manatees are moving out of the
Tampa Electric Company (TECO) discharge canal into shallow-water
feeding areas to the north off Gibsonton and south near Apollo
Beach. Boaters should slow down and strictly obey posted speed
restrictions in manatee protection zones.
The FWC urges people to take special care to avoid
coming close to these marine mammals that are already stressed
because of the prolonged cold snap.
"The greatest danger of boat strikes to manatees
occurs when high concentrations of these mammals move out of
warm-water refuges and head toward feeding areas. Boaters should
use extreme care as this pattern develops," said Capt. Roger Young,
FWC law enforcement supervisor for Hillsborough and Pinellas
FWC law enforcement officers have increased patrols
and are strictly enforcing manatee-protection-zone speed limits to
aid the animals during this period when they are most vulnerable to
vessel strikes.
To avoid striking manatees, vessel operators should
wear polarized sunglasses to help them spot the creatures in the
water, and watch for the large, tell-tale circular slicks on the
surface of the water (manatee footprints) that indicate the
presence of manatees.
If you would like more information on Florida's
manatees, visit MyFWC.com/Manatee or call the FWC's regional office
in Lakeland at 863-648-3200. To report a dead or distressed
manatee, call the FWC's Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC
FWC Facts:The use of cutouts is prohibited, except for vessels competing in a regatta or official boat race and when the vessels are on trial runs.

Connected HealthCare Devices
Business realities are driving the need for connectivity in medical devices. For example, to reduce costs and meet consumer demands, seamless connectivity via Bluetooth and wireless local area networks (WLANs) is often required. Interoperable connectivity is important for keeping costs in line and ensuring compliance with safety and security standards and requirements, and the use of open connectivity standards can reduce implementation and life cycle costs. Connectivity also increases efficiency: IT integration with medical device functionality enables preventive monitoring and workflow optimization. Wind River® solutions can help you implement the secure and manageable connectivity your devices require.
Business Issues
A hospital is one of the most complex ecosystems in existence today, with diverse players, devices, and standards. Information must flow seamlessly through this ecosystem and be sustained throughout the life of the patient for optimal treatment and care.
Learn more about this issue and how Wind River can help.
Medical device manufacturers constantly strive to develop safe, secure, intelligent, and connected products, balancing the stringent regulatory requirements of worldwide agencies such as the FDA with the aggressive time-to-market deadlines and cost pressures that govern the industry.
Learn more about this issue and how Wind River can help.
Hospital IT organizations are challenged with managing and securing diverse hardware and software systems. Further complicating matters, some equipment manufacturers devise unique security solutions, often the result of designing purpose-built solutions based on non-standard or proprietary components. Consequently, determining whether equipment complies with the security policies of the purchasing hospital can be difficult.
Learn more about this issue and how Wind River can help.
The emphasis on safety is the only constant in medical device development. Design requirements, hardware architectures, development processes, and safety regulations all remain in a state of flux. To stay competitive, manufacturers must deliver safe devices on time and on budget, using a mix of legacy and next-generation tools and processes.

National Community Committee (NCC)
The National Community Committee (NCC) is part of the Prevention Research Center (PRC), administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The NCC is a committee that represents the people in communities that work with PRC's to do community-based participatory research (CBPR) in chronic disease prevention and control.
The NCC is one of seven committees that help the PRC program. Each PRC community committee sends a representative or two to the NCC, which makes recommendations about how community committees can share information and serve the individual centers and the national program. NCC members also facilitate the training of community members and advocate for prevention research. (www.cdc.gov/prc/community-voice/index.htm)
Members of the Deaf Health Community Committee (DHCC) have represented DHCC during the NCC's Annual Planning Meetings in October. Below are the PRC's who have hosted past NCC Retreats:
- 2004: University of Alabama at Birmingham PRC, Birmingham, AL
- 2005: University of Minnesota PRC, Minneapolis - St. Paul, MN
- 2006: University of Michigan PRC, Flint - Ann Arbor, MI
- 2007: Harvard University PRC, Boston MA
- 2008: West Virginia University PRC, Morgantown, WV
- 2009: University of North Carolina PRC, Chapel Hill, NC
- 2010: University of Washington PRC, WA
- 2011: Rochester University PRC, NY
- 2012: University of Maryland PRC, College Park, MD
NCC members represent the people and partner organizations across the PRC Program's diverse communities. The committee supports an environment in which members:
- Collaborate to influence health research.
- Inspire life-changing projects in neighborhoods.
- Share ideas about being a bridge between researchers and community members.
- Feel comfortable discussing the challenges of working with academic partners.
- Voice their hopes and concerns.
The NCC is dedicated to helping build capacity in communities within local PRCs that were not traditionally involved in the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of prevention research initiatives by:
- Developing and facilitating education, training, resource sharing, and technical assistance opportunities that encourage and enhance participation in research activities.
- Creating a supportive and culturally relevant environment in which representatives can share successes, concerns, and other lessons learned.
- Advocating for policy change.
- Making recommendations to advance the work of individual community representatives, local centers, and the national PRC Program.

Identity, Integrity and Self
- You don't have to be skinny and on trend to look good, merely to be noticed in certain circles that are ultimately inconsequential. And on that note, you don't have to look good to be of worth or value. You haven't failed at life because you don't know how to tie a bow tie or which denims should be washed and which refrigerated. You are simply on a different track with different values to a small contingent of online personalities.
- None of it really matters. How you live and whether or not you can count that life a success will, ultimately, only be determined by you.

With field testing of the exams measuring mastery of the Common Core State Standards now well underway across the United States, attention is focusing on practical questions relating to execution. In addition, some people have raised the conceptual question of whether the exams developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) can truly deliver what they promised in their original bids for federal funding, according to a recent article in Education Week. The assessment article is part of an EdWeek package of coverage on various aspects of Common Core.
Both testing consortia have scaled back the length or complexity of some test elements, said the article, with testing experts saying that the consortia's current accomplishments seem like a "first draft of their original goals." Still, Scott Marion of the National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment said the 2014-2015 tests "will be better than almost all existing state tests, if not all."
Meanwhile, a number of states are continuing to wrestle with their involvement in the Common Core standards and assessment. In Tennessee, the House of Representatives recently passed a measure delaying implementation of PARCC testing for one year. In the meantime, the state will keep its current TCAP tests in place and will put the new testing contract out for bid. To learn more, read this article from the Nashville Post.

A Texan friend of mine heard Karl Rove a couple of days ago talking angrily about President Obama winning by "suppressing the vote." Not long after that, she read that Sean Hannity wants to create a "pathway to citizenship" for illegal immigrants. She wrote to me that she was compiling a list: "ways in which the Republicans are now stealing Democrats' language."
She was right to find it amusing. But, if you step back, it's also tragic. The Republican Party doesn't need to steal Democrats' language, let alone Democrats' ideas. Like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz," all the Republican leadership needs to do is click its collective heels together and start looking for answers much closer to home.
