Toronto Mosque vandalized as media ratchets up anti Muslim hysteria in wake of arrests
Mosque vandalized - Blair urges tolerance, calm after dozens of windows smashed
Omar Farouk wandered slowly around the huge Rexdale mosque yesterday, pausing briefly at each of the three dozen broken windows and glass doors.
"It is a sad day for us," the president of the International Muslims Organization of Toronto said as he surveyed the overnight vandalism that caused more than $15,000 damage at one of the city's biggest mosques.

FERTILIZING THE SEEDS OF HATE
For people of the Muslim faith, its a familiar story: radicals try to kill innocent people in the name of your God, and you end up getting icy stares on the street, if not worse.
the RCMP and CSIS managed to avert the potential mayhem of a terrorist attack, they werent able to stop vandals from smashing the windows of a Toronto-area mosque Saturday night. Even though police have no evidence to connect the terror arrests with the vandalism, the broken windows certainly appear to be a response to the suspected terrorists Muslim heritage.

MMN MESSAGE IN WAKE OF TOROTO AREA ARRESTS
Montreal June 5, 2006: To our dear brothers and sisters in Islam. By now you have all read about the recent arrests of 17 Toronto area Muslims who are alleged to have been planning a terrorist attack on Canadian soil. The news of these arrests have spread accross the globe like wildfire. In the days and weeks ahead many distressing things will be said and written about Islam and Muslims which will cause us a lot of grief and anger. One must keep in mind that those who are pre-disposed to have hostility against our community will use this incident as a pre-text to attack us even further. This should not come as a suprise.

Professor Suing David Horowitz - PROFESSOR FIGHTS PORTRAYAL AS SUPPORTER OF TERRORISM
As one of Stanford University's most respected Middle East scholars, professor Joel Beinin knows what terrorism looks like.
So it was a shock when he saw his own face on the cover of a new book titled ``Campus Support for Terrorism,'' linking him to radical Islam.
He's suing the book's publishers in what is the first counteroffensive by a professor against a growing campaign by conservative groups targeting left-leaning college educators.

My Lai to Haditha, wars' turning points
Haditha has received huge coverage in the main Arab dailies, particularly in Egypt, Syria, Palestine and Jordan. It is prime news in Iran. The immediate implications of Haditha are yet more empowering of Arab regimes throughout the Middle East. It is another blow for all those who are betting on US intervention in the Arab world, claiming that the Americans will bring democracy to Iraq and the Arabs at large.

A Hard Look at Haditha
The apparent cold-blooded killing last November of 24 Iraqi civilians by United States marines at Haditha will be hard to dispose of with another Washington damage control operation. The Iraqi government has made clear that it will not sit still for one, and neither should the American people. This affair cannot simply be dismissed as the spontaneous cruelty of a few bad men.

Video Tapes and Liberator's Justice in Haditha
"There is no reversing the death and suffering in Haditha. If it hadnt been for the videotapes, the Bush administration would have treated the massacre as a justifiable military mission to liberate Iraq."
Just a week ago, the Bush administration was bracing itself for the worst. After six months of covering up the Haditha massacre, the time had come to face another public audit of the conduct of American occupation forces in Iraq. Once again, as in Abu Ghraib, the real culprit was a camera.

10 Reasons to Impeach George W. Bush...And a Reason Why Democratic Leaders are Wrong to be Afraid to Do It.
As prospects grow for a Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives, and perhaps even the Senate, this November, the idea of impeachment is gaining attention. Yet even as polls show increasing numbers of Americans supporting the idea of removing Bush from office before the end of his term, Democratic Party leaders keep backing away.
The important question is WHY? Who is controlling the key Democrats who insist that impeachment will never be considered? Are they being blackmailed? Bribed?
Maybe impeachment needs to include the entire US Congress.
