IBiquity hasn’t demonstrated consumer or broadcaster acceptance but in
every way has inflated and distorted statistics in an attempt to give
the perception to the FCC and the world that their digital radio
system is on the verge of a consumer explosion. IBiquity HD radio has
been around several years with essentially zero growth. To allow them
a free Government handout in the form of a power increase is an
injustice to broadcasters and consumers. IBiquity Digital Corporation
should be allowed to fail or succeed based on the original concept of
letting consumers and manufacturers decide. Not on a handout from the
FCC.

They must have believed that at current power levels consumers would
welcome it because they spent millions in past years on advertising
and other promotional gimmicks. Now, when there’s solid evidence that
consumers and broadcasters don’t want it they petition for a power
increase? I challenge iBiquity to prove the need for a power
increase based on solid evidence of consumer acceptance.

Justice to all Mankind, Even Those Who Make an Enemy of Islam
I hope you don’t mind receiving my letter. It is short but full of
information.


Justice to all Mankind, Even Those Who Make an Enemy of Islam


The saying of Allaah the Exalted:


"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allaah as just witnesses; and
let not the enmity and hatred of others allow you to avoid justice. Be
just: that is closer to piety; and fear Allaah. Indeed, Allaah is Well-
Acquainted with what you do."
[Soorah Al-Maa'idah 5:8]

Ibn Katheer explains:
“Do not let your hatred of a people cause you to be unjust to them,
rather you must be just to everyone, friends or enemies, this is why
Allaah said: ‘Be just: that is closer to piety’ Meaning being just is
closer to piety than being unjust.”
At Tabari, a renowned scholar of the 8th century comments:
“Do not let enmity between you and others cause you to be unjust in
your dealings and rulings with them such that you oppress them due to
the enmity that is between you… It has been stated that this verse was
revealed when the Jews plotted to murder the Prophet.”

Al Qurtubi, a scholar from the 12th century states:
“This verse also proves that the disbelief of non-Muslims must not
prevent us from being just to them…and it is not permissible for us to
retaliate in the same manner, even if they kill our women and children
and cause sorrow to befall us, it is not permissible for us to act
likewise with the intention of making them feel grief and sorrow.”

Allaah the Elevated says:
"Verily, Allaah enjoins justice, beneficence, giving (help) to kith
and kin, and forbids all forms of evil and Al-Munkar (i.e. all that is
prohibited by Islamic law and oppression). He admonishes you, that you
may take heed.)."
[Soorah An-Nahl 16:90]

Ibn Katheer states:
“Allaah orders his servants with justice, which is fairness and
equity, and encourages them to be beneficent.”

Allaah the Mighty says:
"Indeed We have sent Our Messengers with clear proofs, and revealed
with them the Scripture and the Balance (justice) that mankind may
keep up justice."
[Soorah Al-Hadeed 57:25]

At Tabari comments:
“Meaning: So that people may interact amongst each other with
justice.”

Allaah the Merciful says:
"That no burdened person (with sins) shall bear the burden (sins) of
another."
[Soorah An-Najm 53:38]

Ibn Katheer comments:
“Meaning: Anybody who has oppressed himself by disbelief or sins will
be responsible for those sins, nobody else will carry the burden.”

As Sa`di, a scholar of the 19th century explains:
“…and no one shall bear the sin of another.”

The noble scholar; `Abdul-Azeez Aal Ash-Shaykh, current Mufti of the
kingdom of Saudi Arabia comments:
“Allaah judged that no person shall bear the burden of another
person’s sin due to His absolute justness.”

The Messenger of Allaah, may peace be upon him, informed us that
Allaah said:
“O My Servants, indeed I have prohibited injustice for myself, and I
have prohibited it amongst you.”

The noble scholar; `Abdul-`Azeez Aal Ash-Shaykh comments:
“This is general to all mankind, whether they are Muslim or not, it is
not permissible for any one person to oppress another even if they
were enemies or harbored hatred for one another. Enmity and hatred do
not authorize anyone in the legislation of Islam to be unjust or
practice oppression.”

The former Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Shaykh `Abdul-`Azeez Ibn Baaz
states:
“It is not permissible for Muslims to transgress upon non-Muslims, not
in their person, their wealth or their reputations if they are formal
residents in a Muslim country, have a treaty with Muslims or are under
Muslim protection, rather they must be given their rights. Muslims
must not transgress upon non-Muslims by stealing from, betraying or
cheating them with regards to their wealth. Likewise they mustn’t
physically transgress upon them by hitting them and so on. The fact
that they are residents, under treaty or protection secures them from
that.”

The noble scholar; Saalih al Luhaydan, chairman of the higher
judiciary council of Saudi Arabia states:
“During battles, the Messenger of Allaah would advice the army:

“Do not kill women, children, the elderly and those devoted to worship
in their religious centers.”

This means that Islam does not permit killing anyone except those who
kill, wage war or oppress Muslims.”

An Nawawi, a distinguished scholar from the 12th century states:
“There is a consensus amongst the scholars that killing women and
children is prohibited in battle except if they themselves engage in
battle.”
