He may be a dictator but he's OUR dictator !

Given modern distractions, the need to understand Islam better has never been more urgent. Through this forum we can share ideas and hopefully promote the true spirit of Islam which calls for peace, justice, tolerance, inclusiveness and diversity.

Obama condemns Quran burning, violence in Afghanistan


"We condemn, in particular, the action of an individual in the United States who recently burned the Holy Quran. We also offer condolences to the families of all those injured and killed in violence which occurred in the wake of the burning of the Holy Quran.

We further hope the Afghan people understand that the actions of a small number of individuals, who have been extremely disrespectful to the Holy Quran, are not representative of any of the countries of the international community who are in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people."



And yet these same people chose to blame entire nations for the act of a few, then bombed them and destroyed millions of lives.

Yet again, I will not let you get away with BS analogies.

1. What this no good Redneck attention seeking preacher did with a congregation of 30 was not illegal, and did not kill innocents,
2. The "acts of the few" you refer to were 1000's of murderers who were aided and protected by the Talibaan government. There is no comparison.
3. The killing of UN Staff from unaffiliated countries in Afghanistan over an ignorant preacher is inexcusable, and Muslims like you are giving these murderers a free pass yet again
4. The same crowd (and you) did not go on a rampage when women were shot in the head in Afghan stadiums

How insecure is a religion that slaughters innocents over cartoons and book burnings ?

Selective outrage....

So according to fart logic, if someone does something illegal like killing 3000 people, it is ok to attack some country and destroy it and kill a million and destroy the lives of a few million more?
The "acts of the few" you refer to were 1000's of murderers who were aided and protected by the Talibaan government. There is no comparison.
Still getting your information from http://www.saddam-has-wmds-and-can-laun ... inutes.com?
The killing of UN Staff from unaffiliated countries in Afghanistan over an ignorant preacher is inexcusable, and Muslims like you are giving these murderers a free pass yet again
The bombing of innocent civilians and the destruction of a nation is inexcusable and farts like you are giving these murderers a free pass yet again.
The same crowd (and you) did not go on a rampage when women were shot in the head in Afghan stadiums
We, The Americans, are not interested in a few women getting shot in the head in Afghan stadiums. We didn't go on a bombing spree back then did we? Did you go on a rampage at that time fart? How about thousands of innocents getting slaughtered by Israel in Lebanon and Palestine. We don't care about them either.
Selective outrage, anyone?

fart,

You should realize by now that you have nothing new to say about anything that I will ever post about your masters. You will be saying the same thing over and over again like a broken record. And my responses are going to be pretty much copy and paste because you won't be saying anything new for the forseeable future. Now, I know that you like a good spanking every now and then from me and it's not like I don't enjoy giving them to you. But you should realize that you are a waste of disk space for this website. So I would advise you to simply read what I post and not respond, unless you have something new to add, which you won't.

The fact that the Talibaan is capable of doing these things in Afghanistan after a decade long American drive to spread freedom and democracy is sufficient to declare this American adventure a colossal failure. Maybe the Americans have lost their touch or may be there are too many farts driving American policy now.

What about the murderers who went to Iraq in the name of freedom and democracy and butchered hundreds of thousands of people? They were also aided and supported by the so called democratic nations like UK. Any comments on that???

Two CNN "infobabes" interviewed former CIA officer Michael Scheuer about the situation on the ground in Libya. They asked Scheuer some questions regarding the role of the CIA in Libya, but the interview rapidly moved in some directions that the "infobabes" were not anticipating. Instead of sticking to the "Republican" or the "Democrat" script, Scheuer ripped both parties and he detailed many of the reasons why we should have never gone into Libya at all.

The "infobabes" grew increasingly uncomfortable as Scheuer described how large numbers of the resistance fighters in Libya have fought against U.S. troops in the Balkans, in Afghanistan and in Iraq. They did not seem pleased at all when Scheuer declared that the civil war in Libya is "none of our business" and that to the rest of the world this conflict looks like "Americans killing Muslims for oil" all over again.

The funniest part of the interview was when Scheuer accused one of the "infobabes" of "carrying the water for Mr. Obama". After that statement, the female anchor that Scheuer was addressing was visibly flustered and quickly went to a commercial.

Of course Scheuer was exactly right. We never should have gotten involved in the civil war in Libya. It was none of our business. When the rebels picked up arms and started shooting at government forces, they should not have been surprised when Gadhafi's forces started shooting back.

Over the past few decades, there have been some very real genocides happening all over Africa, but the U.S. never seemed to care about any of those.

But now the mainstream media has been trying really hard to spin the civil war in Libya into a "great humanitarian crisis".

Well, that might fool some of the American people, but as Scheuer aptly pointed out, the rest of the world sees this as just another U.S. war in the Middle East for oil (and banking).

Nearly everyone in the mainstream media seems to be fully on board with this war as well.

Why?

Well, because virtually all of the major media outlets are owned by the establishment, and the establishment wants this war.

Have you ever noticed that the news seems to have the same "flavor" no matter what channel you turn to?

Arab Ulama' Issued 'Pro- Gaddafi' Fatwa

A leading ulama' in Saudi Arabia appeared in a television show in the state-owned television in Libya on Monday (25/7/2011) to proclaim a fatwa that urged the rebels to immediately lay down their weapons and make a peaceful reconciliation with the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, reported by Emirates 247. Hamoud bin Nafei Al Anzi, an imam in the main city of the Saudi, Alasiah, stated that some of the leading scholars in the Arab region have made an emergency decision which is inverse to their decision when they approved the resistance against Gaddafi on the first days after the fighting began to break in the North African country five months ago. Al Anzi, who visited Tripoli to meet with the camp of Gaddafi said that he was in Libya for personal purposes and he does not represent the views of the government of Saudi Arabia.

“I've been to many places that were bombed by the Crusader forces (NATO) in Libya… these crusader forces are only killing the people of Libya indiscriminately and wanting to destroy the country,” he said in a press covered by the Libyan television.

“I appeal to all ulama's and scholars to issue a fatwa for those who fight against the government and their own people, to lay down arms and join with their brothers at the negotiating table if you (the rebels) really have the demands. Do not take up arms to settle disputes. I admit there was an error but the error should not be handled by an even bigger mistake. By Allaah, stop the bloodshed.” Al Anzi is the first Arab ulama' to make a public appearance and have the courage to give support to Gaddafi.

“I see people who do not have legs and arms, their eyes became blind. This can not be justified. In opposing the government, we do not need to bring outsiders. The Islamic State forbids this. I appeal to all the citizens of Libya to stop fighting, talk to each other, as well as no longer relying on the crusaders,” he added. “I am only urging my brothers in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries to issue a fatwa now to prohibit the fighting and bloodshed.”

Lest we forget: When former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher refused to allow sanctions against then apartheid South Africa and used to call Nelson Mandela a terrorist, Col Gaddafi was embracing him and funding his fight against apartheid by training ANC fighters, arming them and paying for their education abroad.

The question that anyone with even minimum intelligence cannot help asking is the following: Are countries like France, England, the USA, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Poland, who defend their right to bomb Libya on the strength of their self-proclaimed democratic status really democratic? If yes, are they more democratic than Gaddafi’s Libya? The answer in fact is a resounding NO, for the plain and simple reason that democracy doesn’t exist. This isn’t a personal opinion, but a quote from someone whose native town Geneva, hosts the bulk of UN institutions. The quote is from Jean Jacques Rousseau, born in Geneva in 1712 and who writes in chapter four of the third book of the famous ‘Social Contract’ that ‘there never was a true democracy and there never will be.’

The American sociologist C. Wright Mills wrote in 1956 that American democracy was a ‘dictatorship of the elite’. According to Mills, the USA is not a democracy because it is money that talks during elections and not the people. The results of each election are the expression of the voice of money and not the voice of the people. After Bush senior and Bush junior, they are already talking about a younger Bush for the 2012 Republican primaries. Moreover, as Max Weber pointed out, since political power is dependent on the bureaucracy, the US has 43 million bureaucrats and military personnel who effectively rule the country but without being elected and are not accountable to the people for their actions. One person (a rich one) is elected, but the real power lies with the caste of the wealthy who then get nominated to be ambassadors, generals, etc.

How many people in these self-proclaimed democracies know that Peru’s constitution prohibits an outgoing president from seeking a second consecutive mandate? How many know that in Guatemala, not only can an outgoing president not seek re-election to the same post, no one from that person’s family can aspire to the top job either? Or that Rwanda is the only country in the world that has 56 per cent female parliamentarians? How many people know that in the 2007 CIA index, four of the world’s best-governed countries are African? That the top prize goes to Equatorial Guinea whose public debt represents only 1.14 per cent of GDP?

War Propaganda: Libya and the End of Western Illusions

Five months into the bombing campaign, it is no longer possible to believe the initial official version of the events and the massacres attributed to the "Gaddafi regime". Moreover, it is now essential to take into account Libya’s legal and diplomatic rebuttal, highlighting the crimes against peace committed by television propaganda, the war crimes perpetrated by NATO military forces, and the crimes against humanity sponsored by political leaders of the Atlantic Alliance.

Just under half of Europeans still support the war against Libya. Their position is based on erroneous information. They still believe, in fact, that in February the "Gaddafi regime" crushed the protests in Benghazi with brutal force and bombed civilian districts in Tripoli, while the Colonel himself was warning of "rivers of blood" if his compatriots continued to challenge his authority.

During my two months’ investigation on the ground, I was able to verify that these accusations were pure propaganda intoxication, designed by the NATO powers to create the conditions for war, and relayed around the world by their television media, in particular Al-Jazeera, CNN, BBC and France24.

However, the reader who doesn’t know where he stands on this issue and who - despite the brainwashing of September 11 and Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction - is reluctant to accept that the United States, France, the UK and Qatar were actually capable of fabricating such lies, will be able to forge an opinion over time.

“This war has nothing to do with Colonel Gaddafi,” Nazemroaya continued, “Gaddafi is a pretext for this war. This war is about stealing money from the Libyan people.”

This is not a revolution; it is a western-backed, NATO-sanctioned, colonialist regime change in a sovereign African nation. As political analyst and eyewitness Mahdi Nazemroaya, whilst being interviewed on Russia Today, so aptly surmised:

“This is a NATO war. They bombed this entire city and landed insurgents on the coast. NATO has bombed mercilessly in this country and massacred innocent civilians.”

A massacre, with our consent. Did we really believe that the governments of the UK and the US, the butchers of Baghdad, the burka-banning Sarkozy in France and the Afghanistan-bombing NATO Apaches, had suddenly chosen the side of the people? Or did we believe that later, after their entire country had been decimated and the rebels had taken over, then they could kick NATO out?

So, who is next in the sights of the hungry imperialist powers? Earlier this week, the US, UK, France, Germany and the EU all demanded that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad immediately resigned. There is no question that people in Syria are taking to the streets with genuine demands, and many have lost their lives in the process, but the idea that our governments have any position of moral supremacy is arrogant and delusional. The real question is, will we allow the manufacture of our consent for yet another war of aggression in the Arab world, or will we fall for the pretense of “humanitarian intervention” once again?

The United States, where concerns run high that early elections could bring unfriendly Islamists to power and further strain relations with Israel, has so far signaled approval of the military’s slower approach to handing over authority.

Looks like the American farts are playing a key role in what is happening in Egypt.

Amnesty International Details Torture and Murder in Libya

A report from Amnesty International details widespread torture in the prisons and makeshift detention facilities in Libya, under the auspices of the regime established by the US-NATO war that overthrew and murdered Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. In at least 12 cases, prisoners were tortured to death, the group found.

The savage practices documented by Amnesty investigators include beatings with whips, cables, metal chains and wooden sticks, electric shocks, extraction of fingernails, and rape. Militia fighters conducted these attacks brazenly, in some cases continuing to abuse prisoners while human rights advocates were present.

According to the Amnesty report, the National Transitional Council, installed by the imperialist powers, has not conducted a single investigation into the torture and abuse of prisoners, and the militias have uncontested authority to do as they please. No one has been arrested or prosecuted for war crimes except those who were on the losing side in the civil war, fighting for the ousted regime of Gaddafi.

Some 2,400 detainees are acknowledged at prisons controlled by the NTC, but many thousands more are held by the official Libyan military and by police and militia units operating entirely outside of any legal structure.

Libya: It’s Not About Oil, It’s About Currency and Loans

While many of the rationalizations describe resources, especially oil, as the reasons why we should be in that country, there are also an increasing number of dissenting voices. For the most part, these revolve around Libya’s financial relationship with the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and multinational corporations.

According to the IMF, Libya’s Central Bank is 100% state owned. The IMF estimates that the bank has nearly 144 tons of gold in its vaults. It is significant that in the months running up to the UN resolution that allowed the US and its allies to send troops into Libya, Muammar al-Qaddafi was openly advocating the creation of a new currency that would rival the dollar and the euro. In fact, he called upon African and Muslim nations to join an alliance that would make this new currency, the gold dinar, their primary form of money and foreign exchange. They would sell oil and other resources to the US and the rest of the world only for gold dinars.

The US, the other G-8 countries, the World Bank, IMF, BIS, and multinational corporations do not look kindly on leaders who threaten their dominance over world currency markets or who appear to be moving away from the international banking system that favors the corporatocracy. Saddam Hussein had advocated policies similar to those expressed by Qaddafi shortly before the US sent troops into Iraq.

French Spy Shot Dead Gaddafi on Nicolas Sarkozy's Order

London: A French secret serviceman shot dead Libya's former strongman Muammar Gaddafi and not a lynch mob of rebels as he lay trapped and cornered in a sewage pipe in his home town of Sirte.

The French secret agent is said to have infiltrated a violent mob which had encircled the Libyan leader on October 20, 2011, in a sewage pipe in his home town, and shot him in the head, the Daily Mail reported.

Quoting diplomatic sources in the North African capital, the Mail said the motive apparently was to stop Gaddafi being interrogated about his highly suspicious links with Nicolas Sarkozy, who was the President of France at that time.

The paper said Sarkozy who once welcomed Gaddafi as the "Brother leader" during a state visit to Paris was said to have received millions of dollars from the Libyan despot to fund his election campaign in 2007.

Sarkozy, the paper said, was not the only Western leader to have close links with Gaddafi and claimed that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair visited Gaddafi regularly and was helping to facilitate multi-billion pounds business deals.

Italian newspaper Corriere della Serra also reported that the French agent was acting on the express orders of Sarkozy.

"Since the beginning of NATO support for the revolution, strongly backed by the government of Nicolas Sarkozy, Gaddafi openly threatened to reveal details of his relationship with the former president of France, including the millions of dollars paid to finance his candidacy at the 2007 elections," the paper said.

The reports of involvement of French agents in the death of Gaddafi were corroborated by Mahmoud Jibril, who led the interim government in Libya after the ouster of Gaddafi.

Jibril told an Egyptian TV that "it was a foreign agent who mixed with the revolutionary brigades to kill Gaddafi."

The Daily Mail quoted diplomatic sources in Tripoli as saying "Sarkozy had every reason to try to silence the Colonel and as quickly as possible."

The new revelations said that Gaddafi had been tracked through his satellite telecommunications system as he talked to Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.

NATO experts were able to trace the communications traffic between the two Arab leaders, and so pinpoint Gaddafi to the city of Sirte, where he was murdered on October 20.

NATO jets shot up Gaddafi's convoy, before rebels on the ground dragged Gaddafi from a drain where he was hiding and then subjected him to a violent attack which was videoed.

In another sinister twist to the story, a 22-year-old who was among the group which attacked Gaddafi and who frequently brandished the gun said to have killed him, died in Paris last Monday.

Ben Omran Shaaban was said to have been beaten up by Gaddafi loyalists in July, before being shot twice. He was flown to France for treatment, but died of his injuries.

Sarkozy, who lost the presidential election in May, has continually denied receiving money from Gaddafi.
