Wow what a great find Bobby... I must say I do love Al Jazeera, I wish it was on telly here, fascinating middle east coverage.
She lost me at the beggining, it's a long piece but worth stickin out till the end. Brave, brave woman.

I find it all very tough the arab israeli issue as at this stage if i were arab I think I too would be radical after so many years of torture. Plus there is the fact that governments like our own terrorist BUSH just commit these attrocities using other mens blood, yet they are not villified as much as a suicide bomber. But whats the difference, one is front media the other is a military act that is silenced in the media... wonder how many innocents were killed today in iraq at the hands of bush?
I am sure it's hell being gay in MOST foreign countries in all honesty and I DO NOT condone it... But I do loathe the way the media shovels out bucket loads of anti Arab news when for example China - whom America farms out ALL of its manufacturing to is currently 'kidnapping' pregnant women (some up to 5mths preg) for forced abortions. BBC news are doing allot of stories about this lately - horrific tales of people bursting into homes cuffin the terrified women and taking them to hospitals where they are injected all day till they give birth to dead and blacked (dues to chemicals) children. Strange how this isn't on the news in the US... oh yeah that's right cos China will let us use them for making cheap goods so they be alright.

China is not a great place to be a woman. Every four minutes a woman in China commits suicide, something like 150,000 a year. Not because their society treats them right.

Who knows what this figure is in Arab countries. Look at the press coverage of the phenomenon in Afghanistan of young women burning themselves to death because of being forced in to arranged marriages where they end up being nothing much more than domestic servants and family owned punching bags. Some hospitals have a separate ward just for these cases where the attempt at suicide has failed.
Iran is the only country in the world that 'officially' executes children. According to the United Nations, a child is a person under the age of 18. Despite the fact that Iran has signed International Covenants that forbid them to execute anyone who has allegedly committed an offence before the age of 18, they continue to do so. Since 1990, Amnesty International has recorded 24 executions of child offenders and over the last couple of years the rate is increasing. Currently, there are at least 74 minors on death row in Iran. Time is of the essence. Together we will make them STOP the execution of minors!

Oh I know! I am not the least bit anti semitic (Shemitic: Word comes from Shem or Sem who was one of Noah*s sons after the Great Flood, spoken of in the Book Of Genesis and the ancient Sumerian Flood Epics.) but I do not want to be anti Arabic either! It*s a tough one! The State of Israel is there and it*s not going to go away! And yes, it was formed by tearing down the homes of Palestinians (Philistines.) and chasing them off their own lands! (As we did with our Native Americans!) But the deed is done and we have to deal with the present day political situation which exists in The Middle East. Basically it appears that both sides utterly despise each other! And not wanting to sound too pessemistic, I really don*t think that there is a 100 per cent solution! It boils down to this: *How do we make it possible for two different peoples of different religions to live together in peace, even though they hate each other*s guts!* I think all anyone can do, is try and try again, and do the best that can be done and let history take its course, as it always does! Remember, it*s basically a *family* squabble. Both the Jews, and Arabs claim descent from Abraham. (Abram from the Sumerian city of UR.) Ishmael was a son of Abraham as was Issac. The Arabs claim decent from Ishmael and the Jews from Issac thru his son Jacob. Jacob*s name was changed to Israel and he begat the twelve Tribes of Israel. In ancient Sumerian and Hebrew EL means God. Eloim! Plural!) Also many Arabs and Arabic peoples claim descent from Essau,(Edom) who was Jacob*s (Israel*s) brother. These people have been fighting over this land for thousands of years! And they all come from the same ancestor, ABRAHAM! An interesting side point. King Herod was from the Edomite line of Jews. Many of them converted to the Jewish religion in the days of the Kingdom Of Judah. That is why the Isralites despised him! He was an Edomite a descendant of Essau not of Jacob (Israel!)

DO TRY TO READ IT ALL.

While i DO NOT condone any terrorist actions I did find this very well written and made me understand allot more. Of course Bin Ladin is always just portrayed as a demented mad man in the media so this was somewhat of an eye-opener (for me anyhow). Have an open mind and just read this.
Interested to know what you think.....

course now I am probably on some thought police list (so will YOU be) for reading Aljazeera! Ahh the land of the free eh! LOL

I find it no shock but it does sadden me .... how fast they were to execute Saddam. I certainly am NO supporter of his and don't believe he was good for the country at all... (although I must say my chum's Iraqi mother was here about 7yrs ago telling me how wonderful her life was in Iraq and how she would hate to be in America full time... now the poor woman lives in ruins after what the UK/US did to her town). If Saddamm wasn't arab he wouldn't have been executed so fast. There have been so many genocides around the world that the US/UK have NOT reacted to. Did 'they' kill Papa/baby Doc Duvallier in Haiti? Did they execute Idi Ami, Pol Pot, Tutsi/Huto's in Rwanda
what about the tyranny's in Liberia or Darfur? I could go on. His execution was tactical for the war and the pressure ($$$) that the US gives to Israel to fight the arab/israeli conflict and OIL and also some kind of moral booster for the troops or some other sick nature. His trial happened when his country was occupied. He never faced all the allegations. He was just executed fast. Again, I DO NOT support this man. But I don't believe that his swift execution is anything but trying to make two wrongs make a right. It wont.
JAYNE COUNTY HERE. In the eyes of the world it made us look as bad as him! The majority of the world considers AmeriKa more of a threat to world peace than petty little Saddam! And he kept the factions inside Iraq from ripping the country apart. Sure, he was a murdering bastard, but hey, AmeriKa is responsible for killing more people than him! Oh I forgot!!! It*s ok when AmeriKa does it cause we speak for the one ture God! When others do it we invade and do worse than the tyrant we removed! Something is VERY WRONG here! AmeriKans have been brainwashed and fed propaganda for years that we are a great nation and there are no others before us!! We are the WORLD POLICE! Hey, you know what that is called? It*s called FASCISM!!! I have traveled all over the world and there are many other countries that are freer than AmeriKa! So we have been fed bullshit all our lives and now is the time to face reality and start fighting these bastards back! The way the Resistance fought the Nazis and the Stalinists! There is nothing wrong in oppossing *your own country* if that country is in the wrong and is doing hateful things to others! Our forefathers expected us, WE THE PEOPLE, to fight back repressive government within our own country. Hey I pay taxes now but I do not have equal rights in my own country. That is called * Taxation Without Representation.* That is one of the MAIN reasons we had a revolution with Britain!!! When you are denied the right to marry the person you love, you are being denied basic human dignity. And WE THE PEOPLE have every right in the world to fight back ANYWAY we can! And that includes fighting an administration that invades countries under FALSE pretenses and MURDERES men, woman, and children! And that includes pregnant women! These conservative fascist want to deny a woman the right to controll her own body and deem abortion as morally wrong and a sin before God, but these same people support a war that murders pregnant women and their unborn fetuses!!! What hypocrisy! That is why I say WAR IS THE UNTIMATE ABORTION!!! And We The People have a right to FIGHT BACK!!! by Jayne County . PS.
