What's your reaction to developments in the Middle East?

There is significant news today from Syria (120 dead in two days when security forces fire on protesters), Yemen (President Saleh agrees to step down in 30 days), and Libya (heavy fighting in Misrata).  Are you following developments in the Middle East?  What's your reaction?

Now let us see if it  Holds True.. Pray that there is Peace..

For those of us living in Israel, the best thing we can do right now is absolutely nothing. We have to sit back and watch how things play out in each country and hope for the best.

 

To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy.

Been watching Al Jazeera, Mosaic and Middle Eastern News oddly enough much that is reported there is not reported here.

Reporters in the area are confounded by the happenings and appear to be questioning themselves what is going on.  I heard one reporter say that people in the Middle East are questioning that even leaders who were playing ball with America are attacked by Obama, they have no idea who really is going to be in charge but there is a huge envolvement by Terrorists groups including Muhajideen. 

500 were killed in Syria today and personally after studying the Middle East for the last few years in depth I believe it is going the way of total Jihad eventually and Sharia Law.  I also believe soon as Iran gets what it needs it will attack Israel and America will not be left alone by any means.

I also believe Obama is to blame for the unrest because he has set the stage for the extremists and Jihadists and Terrorists to come into power through his catering to the Middle East from the start.  First speech as POTUS to Middle East.  Lifted Sanctions on Iran and Syria.  Iran now worlds' problem.  Syria with Chemical weapons plants.  Letter of apology to Iran now Iran spitting in his face.  Every move he has made has been pro-Islamic.  Reading Miranda rights, wanting to close Gitmo, stopping the Military Tribunals, wanting to bring the trials to New York, saying we can't call a Terrorist a Terrorist.  He is weak and they know it and now they are muck-running.

Israel is backed into a corner.  According to the Israeli news the attacks have heightened from Gaza since the mayhem started and the weapons being used are more sophisticated and coming from Iran.  Israel is not going to put up with it and Gazas' Hamas leader says they will not stop no matter what the world says.

Diplomats to Israel and scholars say there is more chance of a camel going through the eye of a needle than Gaza becoming a state with Jerusalem as their capital.  Insanity for them to believe Jerusalem would ever be given-up by the Jews and insanity for the world to insist on it.  It belongs to the Jews and has for over 3,000 years.

This administration will pay eventually with world condemnation.

Trust me.

The lines are drawn in the sand, the American people are alive and awake, well most anyway. Kick it and call names, Let the Freedom Ring

President Saleh should be should be removed if its a genuine rebellion of the ordinary people. it looks like its a fact and many innocent lives have been taken off by him. As there is no freedom of press in syria and yemen it is defenite that all that goes inside is wrong in the country. and the most worst television network on this planet is Press tv which has only news against USA nothing to say about their own country IRAN always news against the West. 

Violent culture... violent people... power clinging leaders... democracy should be taught in these countries...

Are you sitting down? The Obama Regime with the DOD have found a way to vindicate the Fort Hood Muslim mass murderer

Posted: June 22, 2011 | Author: barenakedislam | Filed under: Military stories | 85 Comments »

U.S. Army tacitly endorses a religiously bigoted position: it is fine for Muslim service members to kill non-Muslims, but killing Muslims is grounds for an honorable discharge.

(Well, I guess now we know why Nidal Hasan hasn’t been tried and executed for the murder and attempted murder of more than 50 fellow soldiers. The Obama Regime was searching for a way to set him free. Mission accomplished.)

TO ALL BNI READERS, PLEASE SHARE THIS STORY WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES. THANK  YOU.

Pajamas Media - A shocking decision made by the secretary of the Army last month -in the case of an U.S. Army soldier with the 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell who refused to deploy to Afghanistan claiming that Islamic law prevented him from killing other Muslims — vindicates Fort Hood killer Major Nidal Hasan. He made identical claims and threatened that “adverse events” would occur if military officials didn’t accede to shariah principles


NASSER ABDO

The subject of the Fort Campbell case is PFC Nasser Abdo, who was granted conscientious objector status last month, only to be brought up on charges last week — two days after being informed of the secretary of the Army’s decision — after child pornography was found on his government-issued computer. The news reports about Abdo’s arrest were the first to mention the Army recognizing him as a conscientious objector. After his arrest, Abdo is now claiming that the child porn charges are the Army’s way of retaliating against him.

Abdo’s case has been championed by a number of media outlets, including Al-Jazeera and CNN. According to the Associated Press, in his claim for conscientious objector status, Abdo cited a number of Islamic scholars and Koranic verses in his defense: I realized through further reflection that God did not give legitimacy to the war in Afghanistan, Iraq or any war the U.S. Army would conceivably participate in.

Abdo told Al-Jazeera: I don’t believe I can involve myself in an army that wages war against Muslims. I don’t believe I could sleep at night if I take part, in any way, in the killing of a Muslim. He also told ABC News: A Muslim is not allowed to participate in an
Islamicly unjust war. Any Muslim who knows his religion or maybe takes into account what his religion says can find out very clearly why he should not participate in the U.S. military.

In a perverse twist, the ABC News report noted that a website dedicated to his cause operated by his friends claimed that Abdo: … will be at danger of harassment and even death from his fellow soldiers, many of whom will be resentful of PFC Abdo’s religious beliefs and his desire to be discharged from the military.

No mention was made by ABC News of the potential of harassment and death for non-Muslim soldiers if Abdo wasn’t granted conscientious objector status, as was the case at Fort Hood with Major Nidal Hasan.

In Major Hasan’s case, the Washington Post reported just days after the Fort Hood massacre that he had warned his Army colleagues and supervisor at Walter Reed of “adverse events” if Muslims were not granted conscientious objector status. The warning occurred during a June 2007 Power Point presentation that was part of his psychiatric residency program. Major Hasan cited previous cases of Muslims murdering their fellow soldiers, spying against the U.S., deserting their units, and refusing to deploy as examples of the kinds of “adverse events” that would follow if the Army didn’t bow to the precepts of Islamic law.

But as veteran Pentagon reporter Bill Gertz reported in the Washington Times in March 2010, groups such as the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA) have issued fatwas prohibiting Muslims from even serving as military contractors aiding U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the notorious Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) even went so far as to write a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates on behalf of another Muslim Army soldier stationed at Fort Hood claiming conscientious objector status on the same grounds as Hasan and Abdo.

By granting PFC Abdo’s conscientious objector claim, the Army may have created trouble for themselves in the court martial of Major Hasan for the murder of his thirteen fellow soldiers at Fort Hood. Hasan’s attorney can now claim that by refusing to acknowledge Major Hasan’s claims under Islamic law as a conscientious objector and granting him an honorable discharge, the Army created irreconcilable conflict that prompted the Fort Hood massacre. And they can use the secretary of the Army’s decision in the Abdo case as proof.

But they have also created a greater problem. By bowing to the dictates of Islamic law, which defines the killing of a Muslim by another Muslim without right as terrorism, the U.S. Army has tacitly endorsed a religiously bigoted position that it is perfectly fine for Muslim service members to kill non-Muslims, but killing their co-religionists is totally out-of-bounds and is grounds for an honorable discharge. Is any other religion granted such accommodation? Will this decision help or discredit those Muslims serving honorably with both their fellow soldiers and the Muslim community?

Despite years of protestation by the U.S. government to the contrary, this decision vindicates all of these who have claimed that America is engaged in a war against Islam. The position that the Army now takes would also appear to acknowledge the classic Islamic doctrine of jihad that states that any incursion by non-Muslims into the lands of Dar al-Islam makes it an incumbent duty upon all Muslims everywhere to resist the “occupiers” — the position taken by al-Qaeda and every Islamic terrorist group on the planet.

How did the Unites States Army arrive at such a convoluted, ill-informed, contradictory, and self-defeating policy? By listening to the very Islamic “outreach” partners they have falsely assumed are operating in America’s best interests.

Whatever it Takes.

Obama's people are having the Arab Spring

I don't wish to be argumentative ,but I disagree with the Islamic belief that I should be killed! " If radical atheists decided they needed to kill believers to ensure their place in nothingness, I'd be criticizing that too."
