Re: Kurdish children languish in jail - World yawns

Well, this is what I wrote back in Feb this year: On the oppression of the Kurds, I have to say that I have a good track record on this - I was speaking out against this before it became fashionable to back the Kurds. I was aware of Saddam gassing Kurds when he was still a friend of the west. I've a...

Re: Kurdish Children Languish In Jail - World Yawns

This summed up the situation in February quite nicely: I tell you Kurds are dying and you ask for articles from Muslims! That's so transparently islamophobic it's unreal. Do you know what the religious views of the authors of the original reports were? Are Kurds not predominantly Muslim? (I could ha...

22 years on, still no apology

22 years after an Iranian airline was shot down by the US, this news report highlights the cover up and refusal of the Americans to even apologise for killing all those on board:

Re: Chomsky: US More Fundamentalist Than Saudi Arabia, Talib

I fully understand you want to keep your head in the sand and deny the evidence that 73% of your fellow republican church going brethren believe that the Bible's account of creation trumps science (and they believe that man was created less than 10,000 years ago). However, given that you jump up and...

Re: Woman Who Reported Rape Jailed For One Year

Chocs - if she was forced to change her story, then that indeed is a travesty of justice. However, what if she was indeed telling the truth when she confessed to falsely accusing the guys of rape? From the article, it appears she was only charged for the UAE crime of s.ex outside of marriage and was...

Re: Kurdish Children Languish In Jail - World Yawns

As I said back in February, Muslims have indeed been highlighting the plights of Kurds. I was in London when Saddam gassed the Kurds and remember clearly the outrage at the lack of condemnation in the West or by fellow Arab leaders at the atrocity. The West supplied the gas and government reactions ...

Re: Please Help Us!

It must really irk the fanbois that the Israeli line 'it's not that bad in Gaza' doesn't seem to be being swallowed by the world at large. Fanbois really like their selective quotes, it appears.

Re: The Only Time Muslims Seek Peace Is When They Need To Re

Another quote from Hamza: Religious zealots of any creed are defeated people who lash out in desperation, and they often do horrific things.

Islam prohibits terrorism

FD quoted Hamza Yusuf recently and this led to me reading up on what he has said in the past. This interview from just after 9/11 tackles head on many of the loon misconceptions about Islam. Given that FD values Mr Yusuf's pronouncements on Islam, it was worth reproducing this interview in full. Exp...
