Imran Khan says Islam is not the enemy

“Everyone must understand terrorism is never caused by religion. The roots of all terrorism lie in politics and so do the solutions.

“When (US President) George Bush and (former British prime minister) Tony Blair talk about radical Islam . . . the man in the street in the West is suspicious of all Muslims.”

He said the US was “manufacturing terrorists” through its continuing military action in Pakistan’s border regions with Afghanistan, where they believe al-Qaida forces are in hiding.  >>>>>

Hiding America’s Crime: Mogadishu Empty and in Ruins

Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, has ceased to exist as a city. Inhabited by nearly three million people less than two years ago, and still home to more than a million nine months ago, Mogadishu has been virtually emptied of civilians. Whole sections have been leveled, according to the BBC, in what Human Rights Watch calls “the most ignored tragedy in the world” today. Ignored, that is, by the American and most of the world’s media.   >>>>>

Egyptians Challenge BBC Al-Qaida Poll Result

Despite this evidence, Egyptians simply are not buying it. Many here argue that these surveys often skew actual evidence to the contrary.

“Egyptians do not understand what al-Qaida truly is,” began a freelance journalist who asked not to be named due to the sensitivity of the subject matter, “so when someone asks people here how they view the organization many will indeed say they support or view them favorably.”

The journalist believed this is due to a lack of information. For example, she talked about how it was not until watching a large amount of Western news sources – including CNN and the BBC – did she become aware of the full intentions of the terror network.  >>>>>

In other words, it is not that the journalist is unaware of reality, it’s just that the journalist here had not been brainwashed about al-Qaeda until watching CNN and BBC.  Many people have a different take on al-Qaeda because the news in the Middle East happens to be a lot less editorialized and inclusive of fantasy and fiction.

There is a lot more objectivity and accountability for what one rights.  The people of these lands have far less exposure to news such as the Western addiction to 24-hour-a-day, 7-days-a-week, up-to-date news viewing and commentary.

Even CNN and CNN International do not cover the same things, nor do they cover the same news item the same way. The Westerners believe that they have better news coverage than anything else in the world; but other news organizations around the world would probably say something to the effect that “‘frame-for-frame’, and ‘reel-for real,’ they are far better because there is more objective news whereby journalists are more accountable.  Heck, most major news sources can point to their adversary and show how ‘they are not real news sources,’ for a host of reasons.

The people around the world are paying attention to the differences, quality and content of information they are getting.

Incidentally, Egyptians are Arabs, and therefore, includes a great amount of Christians as well, all living in a secular, not religious society.  Many Westerners fail to recognize this point, as they fail to recognize that the largest religious group of Arabs in the U.S. are Christian, and not Muslim.  This poll includes Christians is my point. (In case readers point to ‘those people’ would naturally support al-Qaeda.

Group says Ethiopia won’t release terror suspects

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Suspects arrested in a clandestine anti-terrorism sweep in East Africa nearly two years ago and interrogated by U.S. personnel have been abandoned by their governments, a human rights group said in a report released Wednesday that also detailed torture accusations from former prisoners.

One Canadian and nine Kenyans are still jailed without charge in Ethiopia after being arrested in 2007 and 22 more east Africans of various nationalities are missing, said a report by Human Rights Watch titled “Why Am I Still Here?”  >>>>>

Six Years in Guantanamo

Sami al-Haj, an Al Jazeera cameraman, was beaten, abused and humiliated in the name of the war on terror. He tells our correspondent about his struggle to rebuild a shattered life…

“We know you are innocent, you are here by mistake,” he says he was told in more than 200 interrogations. “All they wanted was for me to be a spy for them. They said they would give me US citizenship, that my wife and child could live in America, that they would protect me. But I said: ‘I will not do this – first of all because I’m a journalist and this is not my job and because I fear for myself and my family. In war, I can be wounded and I can die or survive. But if I work with you, al-Qa’ida will eliminate me. And if I don’t work with you, you will kill me’.”  >>>>>

Multiply Sami-Al Haj by at least tens of thousands.  These are those who suffered only because they were part of a population that Americans perceived to believe in a God, and just so happens to be in the way of a live ‘Stratego’ game — and of course, lived to tell about it.

How about those that reach over 1,000,000 worldwide who never got a chance to make a deal with the government because they were too busy catching bombs while in the middle of funeral processions or wedding festivities — or sleeping; or praying for world peace?  Probably even more sad is the mental and otherwise enslavement of the masses who think they have gotten away unscathed.

Soon enough, joining the enslaved, will be those who cheered for the destructive shock and awe; and gave all their support for these efforts based on a false or twisted sense of patriotism and lack of true understanding how their contribution to the conspiracy for these war crimes – no matter how insignificant – will come back to haunt them by the very same people sworn to protect them from living in an unjust society.  The U.S. used its own citizens to become the pep rally for world domination…it started long ago; when we were told to believe, “we are the No. 1 Super Power in the world.”

By the time this economic ‘bailout’ fiasco is signed; only then will it barely reach the outskirts of critical mass numbers that the U.S. citizenry were used as pawns for the same kind of in-house tyranny we swore to stand up against.  What did you think those founding forefathers meant when incorporating the term “…defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”  Can we do some ‘real profiling’ to determine who our domestic enemies are?

Why Would “Terrorists” Want To Decapitate Anti-US Leadership In Pakistan?

Why would “Al-Qaeda,” a group that is supposedly the prime target of the U.S. initiated war on terror, commit a terrorist attack against a country that has recently changed its government and all but renounced its role as a U.S. ally in the war on terror?

The mass media has already blamed the Marriott Hotel bombing, which killed at least 53 people, on “Al-Qaeda,” a routine reflex action despite the lack of any real investigation and no claim of responsibility.  >>>>>

Al-Qaida video attacks Iran

“The guardian of Muslims in Tehran is cooperating with the Americans in occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and recognizes the two hireling governments there,” al-Zawahri said.

In contrast to reports that al-Qaeda has been weakened in Iraq, Monday’s message claimed that it was alive and well.

According to Al-Jazeera’s Web site, it showed an Iraqi scholar decrying the US-allied awakening councils that have turned against al-Qaeda as “treacherous” and “doomed.” >>>>>

Why would ‘Al-Qaida’ care for the secularized system of Iraq?  Why would Al-Qaida not go after an enemy state, and yet fight their enemies’ enemy and pit itself against those who say they too believe in the God Al-Qaida professes to believe?

I find it very ‘convenient’ that Al-Qaida seems to benefit the West more than itself. Whatever Islamic cause Al-Qaida claims to deal with tends to parallel the West in its enemies.  Al-Qaida, to many, is the ‘bogeyman’ designed by the West to allow them to continue their psychological black ops and false-flag operations toward imperialistic goals.

Some Arabs think U.S. planned 9/11

CAIRO, Egypt — Seven years later, it remains conventional wisdom that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida could not have been solely responsible for the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and that the United States and Israel must have been involved.

This is not the conclusion of a scientific survey, but it routinely comes up in conversations around the region — in a shopping mall in Dubai, in a park in Algiers, in a cafe in Riyadh and all over Cairo.  >>>>>

Some technically means 4; therefore since over 2 billion people in the world believe the same thing, including more than 1/2 of the 300 million in the U.S., (some who say they believe otherwise are simply in the closet); let’s say 2,000,000,004 people think U.S. planned 9/11.

The fact is that there is more evidence that to say what the Arabs are thinking than there is to say the official version.  Let’s not care who we think did it; and do what Lady Justice is supposed to do; keep our blindfolds on, weigh the facts, not change the laws in the midst – and let a body of our peers decide.  All of these steps have been removed from the judicial process since then.

So far, the overwhelming majority of those we were told to believe were terrorists, including many of the supposed hijackers of that day, have already been proven not to be.  With that in mind, let’s seek out true justice and stop smearing ethnic groups because we have a personal chip on them.

Disclosure of prisoner details would harm national security, says US

Jaffey told a packed court that there was “no movement on the central question – where was Mr Mohamed between 2002 and 2004.” He said that the offer to make the 44 documents available to convening authority was “consirably lacking in substance”. >>>>>

Purported bomber warns Denmark of more attacks

The video’s authenticity could not be independently verified. It was posted on an Islamic militant Web forum commonly used by al-Qaida to issue videos.

Jakob Scharf, chief of the PET intelligence service, said the agency believes the bomber featured in Thursday’s video “very likely” executed the attack in Pakistan. >>>>>

This has all the signs of a false flag operation.

Yemen Arrests Wanted Islamist Jihad Leader – Official

SANAA, Yemen (AFP)–Yemeni authorities have arrested a leader of the Islamist Jihad movement in the south of the country after a five-year search, a security official said on Saturday. >>>>>

Taliban turns lethal: 101 US deaths in Afghanistan

…Top U.S. generals, European presidents and analysts say the blame lies to the east, in militant sanctuaries in neighboring Pakistan. As long as those areas remain havens where fighters arm, train, recruit and plot increasingly sophisticated ambushes, the Afghan war will continue to sour.

“The U.S. is now losing the war against the Taliban,” Anthony Cordesman, of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote in a report Thursday. A resurgent al-Qaida, which was harbored by the Taliban in the years before the Sept. 11 attacks, could soon follow, Cordesman warned. >>>>>

This is political speak for, “We found an acceptable justification for expanding our war theater to include Pakistan.” Why not marginalize any Islamic country? The path to global domination is being created under our noses, yet many of us can’t smell it through all the smoke and destruction.

EU condemns attack in Algeria

BRUSSELS, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — The European Union’s French presidency condemned on Tuesday bomb attacks in Algeria as “wanton and barbarous terrorist attacks.”  ”The Algerian people are once again the victims of wanton and barbarous terrorist attacks,” the presidency said in a statement.  >>>>>

The outrage in your credit card’s fine print

Would you sign a contract that says, “Any term can be changed at any time for any reason, including no reason”? Anyone who uses a credit card already has.

Such are the absurd terms of the consumer credit-card industry, which is poised to be the next big crisis (after housing) that banks have aided and abetted in US households. >>>>>

It’s not the next big crisis….it’s the same crisis — Americans have relied on INTEREST or USURY — when we were clearly warned through scripture and the true forefathers of even those in the West — INTEREST is a highly forbidden practice.

The prophets, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, (may peace be upon them all) have all warned about the money changers – (those practicing in lending for INTEREST) through their scripture and/or their examples. Jews, Christians and Muslims ought to know better about these practices. This is one dangerous branch of the real Al-Qaida. This is an enemy that is yoking the American populous without them realizing that it’s not the only way. Muslims are the only group that whole-heartedly champion against this practice of oppression. The war-on-terror is, in part, designed to take away the focus of eliminating the middle class by these means and bring about true slavery. It’s already happening….we’re losing our homes; using less credit cards; being taxed up the gazoo; in debt to a former enemy-and still practitioner of communism (China); credit ratings are falling; student loans are stalling; businesses are folding — all due in large part to INTEREST.

When we are warned in Islam not to practice the collection of interest, nor the payment…..many Westerners viewed this as a highly restrictive practice that is backward. We, the Westerner are now in the back of the bus; and for all the stones we swallow while swimming in a lake; it’s not likely that there will be a big fix — except for those large corporations that are so desperately needed in finding terrorists (patsies) across the globe.

Court: Saudi Arabia not liable in Sept. 11 attacks

A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that Saudi Arabia and four of its princes cannot be held liable in the Sept. 11 attacks even if they were aware that charitable donations to Muslim groups would be funneled to al-Qaida.  >>>>>

Maybe they can’t be held liable because they were simply not responsible.  More than maybe, there isn’t any proof; a lot of evidence – but no proof that Muslims, Arabs or Saudis committed the act.  There is however, evidence and even proof of other nations committing the crimes against humanity; and Afghanistan is not on that list.

 

 

Taliban: ‘Open war’ in Pakistan as bomb kills 14

The Pakistani Taliban declared “open war” Tuesday in response to military offensives in the northwest, saying it staged a bombing that destroyed an air force truck and killed up to 14 people, including a child.  >>>>>

Isn’t open war declared when you are being bombed, as Pakistan is doing to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan?  It appears that once again, the Taliban are ‘responding to open war.’  But for some reason, we continue modeling the West on our approach to foreign affairs.  I wonder if this launch has anything to do with lighting another match to attempt to stave off the imminent departure of Musharraf; or bigger yet, copy the efforts of U.S. – Iraq; Georgia – Russia; Kurdistan – Turkey; Israel – Iran…?  Are the comparisons that far fetched?

Al-Qaida and U.S. have same goals in Mauritania?

…It was an ally of the United States under President Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, who was deposed in a military coup on Aug. 6. Al-Qaida denounced the coup as well as the democratic regime, accusing both of being instruments of Western oppression. >>>>>

Does this mean that the U.S. is now going to help take on the non-Islamically run government that has unjustly, overtaken a democratically-elected, U.S.-ally, Islamic government? Didn’t think so.

Pakistan army won’t support Musharraf: Govt

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s ruling coalition said on Tuesday the army would not intervene to support embattled President Pervez Musharraf, whom the government says it will impeach for years of alleged misrule.  >>>>

“Misrule” – should be interpretted as being set up whereby the Muslims of his country will be the next on the Western annihilation list, by allowing Pakistan to attempt to serve two masters.

3 Kenyans linked to terror mastermind out on bail

MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) — Court officials say three Kenyans have been released on bail after being charged with harboring a man accused of masterminding the bombings of two American embassies in East Africa 10 years ago.  >>>>>

If they really believed they had a strong case, these people would not have been given bail on the grounds of conspiracy or related charge. 

Germany facing terror threat

Islamic extremists who trained at terrorist camps in Afghanistan and Pakistan may be plotting attacks in Germany, the head of the country’s federal crime office has said.  Joerg Ziercke, head of the Bundeskriminalamt – Germany’s FBI equivalent – told the daily Tagesspiegel that some 50 aspiring militants from Germany have been trained in camps run by al Qaida, the Taliban or the Islamic Jihad Union. >>>>>
