	Mount Arafat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mount Arafat (sometimes known as Mount Arafah) (Arabic: جبل عرفات; transliterated: Jabal 'Arafat) is a granite hill east of Mecca.
		The hill is the place the Prophet Muhammad delivered The Farewell Sermon to the Muslims who had accompanied him for the Hajj towards the end of his life.
		Muslims believe the Prophet Adam and his wife Eve were reunited on the hill and forgiven by Allah after 200 years of separation on account of their disobedience in deference to the suggestion of Satan.

	Yasser Arafat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arafat's younger brother Dr. Fathi Arafat is rumored to have founded the Palestinian Red Crescent and was involved in the humanitarian aspect of the conflict.
		Arafat's long personal and political survival was taken by most Western commentators as a sign of his mastery of asymmetric warfare and his skill as a tactician, given the extremely dangerous nature of politics of the Middle East and the frequency of assassinations.
		Arafat's ability to adapt to new tactical and political situations, was perhaps exemplified by the rise of the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad organizations, Islamist groups espousing rejectionist opposition to Israel and employing new tactics such as suicide bombing, often intentionally targeting non-military targets, such as malls and movie theaters, to increase the psychological damage.

		Arafat understood that the Mufti's battle against any Jewish settlement in "Palestine," founded solely on Islamic concepts, was not wholly palatable to the non-Islamic world.
		Arafat surmised that a more appealing strategy would be in dressing the struggle in the garb of national liberation for the Palestinian people.
		Arafat's struggle, from its inception, is the struggle against Jewish presence in the Land of Israel and was at no time intended to be a specifically Palestinian struggle, nor was it ever meant to revolve around a mere Palestinian/Israeli confrontation.

	In Memoriam Yasser Arafat (1929-2004)
		YASSER ARAFAT, chairman of al-Fatah and the Palestine Liberation Organization and elected president of the Palestinian Authority, died in Paris Nov. 11 from complications stemming from a blood disorder at the age of 75.
		Arafat did not return alone, but rather was accompanied by security forces, politicians, wheelers and dealers, and other hangers-on whose political styles and personal values frequently clashed with those of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza who had just waged a momentous and largely nonviolent intifada from 1987 to 1993.
		Arafat’s advisers, jealous of her new place in his life, were further alienated when she bravely spoke out against corruption and nepotism in the inner circle.

	CAMERA: Yasir Arafat's Timeline of Terror
		A Knight-Ridder/Tribune timeline of Arafat's life that appeared in Newsday only mentions terror once, in 2001: “Blamed for not controlling terrorist attacks on Israel by Hamas, other radicals.” Typical of many of the flawed timelines, it implies only that Arafat failed to control terror, not that he was actively involved in funding and supporting it.
		In order to report on Arafat's history objectively, one must include his decades-long involvement in terror, his goal of destroying Israel, and his siphoning of hundreds of millions of dollars from money donated to help the Palestinian people that went instead into his own private accounts.
		Yasir Arafat is known to many as the “father of modern terrorism.” Below is a timeline of some of the key events of his life and terrorist acts with which he was associated.

		Arafat has gone further, privately telling some visitors that Israeli agents actually carried out the Tel Aviv disco bombing in June and other attacks on Jews just to make him look bad.
		This president, they say, has no desire to be "the Arafat desk officer" or to run around holding useless summits and signing meaningless agreements, as his predecessors are perceived to have done.
		Arafat is a compulsive liar, and Sharon is a man of his word, said one U.S. official.

	Hajj -- The Pilgrimage to Makkah
		One of the sacred sites in the city, 'Arafat, is linked by tradition not with Abraham but with Adam and Eve who are said to have met there after a long period of separation caused by the "fall".
		A stay in 'Arafat means that all human beings are children of the same parents and belong to one and the same family.
		This is because while people can relatively easily learn the need to surrender to God, to love one's fellow human beings and to take care of their needs, they usually hate to strive against evil, because such striving can often threaten our wealth and lives, to which we love to cling.

	Arafat Seriously Ailing, Aides Say (washingtonpost.com)
		Arafat's spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, told reporters that the Palestinian leader was "in stable condition, but he is still in need of more rest and more medical care." He would not discuss the nature of Arafat's illness or provide any details, other than to say Arafat had not lost consciousness.
		Arafat, regarded by his people as a revolutionary icon and by Israelis as a duplicitous terrorist, is president of the Palestinian Authority, the entity created under the 1993 Oslo peace agreement to govern the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
		Arafat has refused to leave his compound for more than two years, fearing that the Israeli military would not allow him to return and would expel him to another country.

	Muslims make pilgrimage to Mount Arafat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		MOUNT ARAFAT, Saudi Arabia (AP) — More than 2 million pilgrims headed to Mount Arafat outside Mecca on Sunday in the culmination of the hajj, an emotional ritual that retraces the last journey of Islam's seventh century Prophet Muhammad.
		The Day of Arafat is the climax of the hajj, and is believed to symbolize the day of judgment, when Islam says the dead will rise and every person will stand before God to answer for his deeds.
		Usually, pilgrims stay and pray on Arafat from noon until after sunset, then head for the nearby plain of Muzdalifah to collect pebbles for the symbolic ritual of "stoning the devil" in Mina on Monday.

	Palestinians Fume After Bush Tilts to Israel's Side
		A Palestinian policeman and a woman reportedly died and several civilians were wounded in the brief air raids, while one strike caused collateral damage to Arafat's seaside residence in Gaza, less than one hundred meters from Force 17 headquarters.
		Arafat reacted with defiance on Thursday morning when leaving the Jordanian capital, charging Sharon with initiating a "100-day war" against the Palestinians, based on a plan submitted by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen.
		But their conditions are steep, Sharon has said he refuses to talk until the violence ceases, and Bush seems ready to sit things out until Arafat makes that explicit call for an end to the madness in his native tongue.

	Hajj
		The stay at Arafat for a while from the time after Zuhr (Midday) on the 9th of Zilhijja up to the daybreak (on the 10th) is the basic fundamental of Hajj.
		A pilgrim may stay anywhere he likes in the Arafat field but it is preferable to stay near the well known hill of Arafat, Jabalur Rahmat where the Mauqif (the place of stay) of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) is situated.
		If a person, through an excuse, cannot have a chance of Waqof in Arafat on the 9th Zilhijja from afternoon upto the sunset, he is allowed to observe Waqof after the sunset on the night of the 10th Zilhijja before daybreak.

		Arafat’s pleasure at that diplomatic milestone, many observers say, was more than offset by the stinging diplomatic snub when Bush refused to meet with him even briefly, despite fierce pressure from Arab and Muslim allies.
		Another factor in Bush’s rejection of Arab pressure to meet with Arafat may have been Congress, where is there is growing frustration with the Palestinian leader.
		Pro-Israel leaders say that the aversion to Arafat on Capitol Hill is stronger than ever — and that the feeling serves as a powerful brake on any new administration plans for the region.

		It is preferable to pray Dhuhr and Asr at Arafat, shortened and combined during the time of Dhuhr to save the rest of the day for glorifying Allah and for supplication asking forgiveness.
		A pilgrim should make sure that he is within the boundaries of Arafat, not necessarily standing on the mountain of Arafa, he should also be sure that he has spent any part of the night —even a few minutes-within Arafat.
		In the vast plain of Arafat, tears are shed, sins are washed and faults are redressed for those who ask Allah for forgiveness and offer sincere repentance for their wrong doings in the past.

		Sharon said ten days ago that under no circumstances would Arafat be buried in Jerusalem, and most of the recent reports stated that a Gaza burial was a likely option.
		Arafat's bureau director, Tayeb Abdul Rahim, said that the PA leadership has decided to turn the Mukata headquarters into a mausoleum, "until peace arrives and we will then bury Arafat on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem." Jewish law forbids burial on the Temple Mount.
		Sharon said that no terrorists will be released at this time, as "now is not the time to talk about gestures of this type." It could be that a new period will begin and negotiations will be enabled, Sharon said, but added, "everything depends on whether there is an end to terrorism and incitement.

	Yes, Blame Arafat
		Perhaps most disturbing, the Times report lends credence to the notion that the renewed intifada began last fall after Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount; the Mitchell Report disputes this and a number of high-ranking Palestinian officials have since acknowledged that the violence was planned, and indeed had begun, before the visit.
		The Sontag "special report," which never supports its contention that Arafat did not turn down 97 percent of the West Bank, is being viewed by some in the context of a new attempt on the part of the Palestinian camp to counter what it calls "the myth" of Camp David.
		Yasir Arafat is the one that speaks with a double tongue, and alterior motives.
