Why, really, are Muslims everywhere being radicalized?

The best short answer to the question of why British Muslims were being radicalized was set down in a letter written (and subsequently leaked) in May 2004 by the British Foreign Office's most senior official, Permanent Secretary Sir Michael Jay. His letter, a warning to Prime Minister Blair and his ministers, was addressed to the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Andrew Turnbull.

This letter stated that British foreign policy was a "key driver" behind recruitment by extremist Muslim groups. It said that a "recurring theme" among the underlying causes of extremism in the Muslim community was the "issue of British foreign policy, especially in the context of the Middle East peace process and Iraq." It added: "British foreign policy and the perception of its negative effect on Muslims globally plays a significant role in creating a feeling of anger and impotence among especially the younger generation of British Muslims."

What the Foreign Office was effectively saying to Prime Minister Blair was roughly the following: "If you want to stop Islamic radicalization, you must change your foreign policy and, in particular, you must put some distance between yourself and the Bush administration by ending your support for the Zionist state of Israel right or wrong."

Blair subsequently signalled his complete rejection of that advice and his contempt for it. He did so with his statement that "Muslims have a completely false sense of grievance against the West." (That to me was proof that Blair was as deluded as any Zionist).

In 2004 when Sir Michael Jay wrote his letter, it could have been said that the substitution of "American" for "British" foreign policy in his text would have explained why more American Muslims were on their way to being radicalized.

Surely persecution is a "call to arms"?

For the Blair, Bush and Howard governments to believe that they can attack, murder and occupy any Muslim country they wish, without any form of retaliation, is the height of arrogance and stupidity.

The illegal invasion of Iraq on lies - the orchestrated invasion of Afghanistan due to the US not liking their answer on Osama - and the Zionist oppression and devastation of Palestine by the "Israeli Occupation Forces" - have passed the limit of the normally "live and let live" other Semite nations.  While they are being terrorized in the worst possible way, they are being accused of being "evil" and their opposition to terrorism IS terrorism - fair dinkum!

These crimes, and many others like the CIA torture at Guantanamo Bay and the "redemption" methods to other chosen sites, have deepened the hatred and anger of the great majority of Muslims in the entire world, let alone the Middle East.  Every Muslim, in every "civilized" country must feel that their future is unsafe as long as their religion is singled out for persecution without any consideration of the UN Charter of Human Rights.

Democracy is now just a word and a "marketing ploy".  Freedom and equality for all is non-existent in any states subservient to the wishes of the US/Zionist terrorists or their recently “outed” British allies like Blair.

As youths we in Australia were taught right from wrong.  We even adjusted our laws to allow for the prosecution of “prize fighters” who attack others with what the law now considers “lethal weapons”.  What would a decent law call the Zionist Jews’ White Phosphorous burning people to death or to a life of suffering. 

What would decent people think of the US and their group of evil doers for continuing to use depleted Uranium weapons and multi-mines to leave in the countries they have ravaged by choice?

What would decent people really think of the Arab Semite races and religions defending their homes, families and the right to decide their own way of life?

It is without argument that, subsequent to WW 2, the US has inverted our thinking to an extent that we are expected to believe that the “defenders of their countries” are really the terrorists and the invaders and murderers are the “good guys”.  Struth.

Already the US/Zionist Jew’s unholy alliance is preparing false and misleading information to cause us to believe that Iran is the world’s most dangerous nation.  Not North Korea or the Israeli Occupation Forces (the latter who already have nuclear WMDs) but those unruly Iranians who won’t submit to terrorism in its worst form!

We must sit idly by and watch the same orchestrated “demonstrations” in Iran as we saw in Afghanistan and Iraq.

God bless Australia (and keep away the US/Zionist boogy men). NE OUBLIE.

 

 

A small but significant victory for civilization.

Palestine Uniting Humanity.  By Aljazeera.
By Salim Nazzal

What a fantastic view we are witnessing these days. People from the four corners of the earth are marching towards Palestine. They are peoples from 17 nationalities among them Americans, Arabs, Africans, Australians, Britons, Canadians, French, Malaysians, Norwegians, Turkish, Swedes, Venezuelans, and a Jewish woman. The occasion is sad, because it comes at the first anniversary of the Gaza onslaught, but the warm solidarity is converting the sad occasion into time of showing support and love towards the besieged Palestinians in Gaza

Viva Palestina Convoy Breaks Gaza Siege 07 January, 2010  Aljazeera

A humanitarian aid convoy carrying food and medical supplies has arrived in the Gaza Strip nearly a month after it embarked from the UK.  Members of the much-delayed Viva Palestina convoy began passing through Egypt's Rafah border crossing into Gaza on Wednesday, waving Palestinian flags and raising their hands in peace signs.

Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin, reporting from Gaza, said the first wave of vehicles was greeted by Gaza's Hamas leaders as well as members of a Turkish humanitarian organisation that aided in bringing the convoy to the strip.  "We had been expecting the arrival of the convoy amid much fanfare but it almost caught the Palestinians here by surprise," he said.  "The doors suddenly flung open and within minutes the first batch of about 12 or so vehicles made their way from the Egyptian side to the Palestinians."

More than 100 vehicles followed the first batch into Gaza shortly afterward, he said.

Violent clashes

Participants of the convoy are expected to spend the next 48 hours distributing the aid supplies.

Viva Palestina's arrival in Gaza followed violent clashes between Egyptian security forces, Palestinians and members of the convoy.  Hours before the convoy's arrival, an Egyptian soldier was shot dead during a clash with Palestinian protesters who had gathered along the border to protest a delay in the convoy's arrival.

Egyptian forces opened fire to disperse the stone-throwing protesters, and at least 35 Palestinians were wounded in the ensuing clash, according to Hamas official.  Late on Tuesday, more than 50 people were wounded during a clash between Egyptian authorities and international members of the convoy.  The protests were sparked by an Egyptian decision to allow 139 vehicles to enter Gaza through the Rafah crossing, but requiring a remaining 59 vehicles to pass via Israel.

Bitter disputes

The convoy, led by George Galloway, a British MP, had already been delayed by more than a week, after he and a delegation of Turkish MPs failed to persuade the Egyptians to change their mind.  The convoy of nearly 200 vehicles arrived in Egypt's port city of al-Arish on Monday after a dispute with Cairo on the route.

But the arrival came after a bitter dispute between its organisers and the government, which banned the convoy from entering Egypt's Sinai from Jordan by ferry, forcing it to drive north to the Syrian port of Lattakia.

Al Jazeera's Amr El Kahky, who has been travelling with the convoy, said Viva Palestina's organisers had hoped to reach Gaza by December 27.  "We're talking about an almost 10 day delay. The convoy members are happy to have reached their destination," he said.  "Many of them have taken time off from their jobs in Europe and other areas and that's why they're happy to deliver the aid and go back home to resume their normal lives. So their jubilation is justified."

Gaza blockade

Israel and Egypt have severely restricted travel to and from the Gaza Strip since Hamas seized power there in June 2007, after winning Palestinian legislative elections in 2006.  The blockade currently allows only very basic supplies into Gaza.  The siege has severely restricted essential supplies and placed Gazans in a dire situation, made worse by Israel's military assault last winter that reduced much of the territory to ruins.

Galloway, the convoy organiser, said the mission represents only "a drop in the ocean" as long as the siege on Gaza continues.  "No number of convoys is going to solve the problems here," he told Al Jazeera.
"So we're not only trying to bring in aid, we're trying to show the world there is a siege.  "If there is anyone who doubted there is a siege on Gaza, they certainly aren't doubting it now after the events of the last 31 days with this convoy."
