How to get away with Murder

Loading Qur'aan Verse

The brothers were excited that they could now get rid of Yusuf عليه السلام for after this they could stand a better chance of receiving their father's affection. On leaving home, they went directly to the well, as they had planned, on the pretext of drinking water. One of them put his arms around Yusuf عليه السلام and held him tightly. Startled by this unusual behavior, Yusuf عليه السلام struggled to free himself. More brothers rushed to hold him. One of them removed his shirt. Some more joined in to lift Yusuf (a.s) up and cast him into the deep well. Yusuf's عليه السلام piteous pleas made no difference to their cruel hearts.

Then they killed a sheep and soaked Yusuf's عليه السلام shirt in its blood. One brother said that they should swear to keep their deed a close secret. All of them took the oath.

The Meccans, fearing the consequence of this new alliance, began to think seriously of preventing Muhammad from escaping to Yathrib. They met in all haste. After several milder expedients had been rejected, they decided that he should be killed. They agreed that one man should be chosen out of every tribe and that each man should strike a blow at him with his sword so that responsibility of the guilt would rest equally on all tribes. The Bani Hashim, Muhammad's own tribe , were much inferior and therefore would not be able to revenge their kinsman's death.

A number of noble youths were selected for the bloody deed. As the night advanced, the assassins posted themselves round the Prophet's dwelling . They watched all night long, waiting to murder Muhammad when he should leave his house at the early dawn. By some means the Prophet had been warned of the danger, and he directed 'Ali رضي الله عنه to lie down in his place and wrap himself up in his green cloak, which he did. The Prophet miraculously escaped, unperceived by the conspirators who had already assembled at the Prophet's door . These, in the meantime, looking through a crevice and seeing Ali رضي الله عنه, whom they mistook for Muhammad himself, asleep, continued watching there until morning. When 'Ali رضي الله عنه arose, they found themselves deceived. The fury of the Quraish was now unbounded. The news that the would-be assassins had returned unsuccessful and that Muhammad had escaped aroused their whole energy. A price of a hundred camels was set upon Muhammad's head

So you don't need masses of people to be in on it.

You need one person to vouch for his findings and the whole world falls for the shambles! EG, our predicament of the monsighting!!!! :)

The tail wagging the dog is an idiom that usually refers to something important or powerful being controlled by something less so. Its earliest use is in the 1858 play Our American Cousin. The 1997 film Wag the Dog shortened the phrase and added the additional meaning of "superfluous (military) action in order to distract from domestic scandal."

Baron compiled a 169-page report critical of safety standards at North American Aviation, and leaked his report to the media. After NAA learned of this, they fired him.

After the Apollo 1 fire Baron wrote a 275-page report on NASA safety protocol violations, which he gave to Rep. Olin E. Teague's investigation at Cape Kennedy, Florida, on April 21, 1967.

The chairman of the NASA Oversight Committee claimed that Baron had made a valuable contribution to the Apollo fire probe, but that he had been "overzealous".

Six days after his testimony, Baron was killed instantly, along with his wife and stepdaughter, when a train crashed into their car near their home in Florida. Baron's death, which was witnessed by a woman, was later ruled as an accident, with no suspicion of foul play.
