Butcher - Genocide Crime : The anatomy of a massacre
Wissam talks slowly but without tears as he describes what happened next. "I lost sight of Myrna. I just couldn't see her any more for the dust flying around. Then the helicopter came back and started firing its guns at the children, at any of them who moved. I ran away behind a tel [a small hill] and lay there and pretended to be dead because I knew the pilot would kill me if I moved. Some of the children were in bits."

Joining Islam in prayer, but with a purpose: Christian campaign during Ramadan, Groups hope to convert Muslims
As Muslims observe the holy month of Ramadan, Christians worldwide are praying along with them. But the extra prayers may not be welcome. In a campaign called the "30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus," Christians are asking God to help Muslims accept Jesus Christ.
The project is organized by a loose association of evangelical groups that includes Youth With A Mission, which works in Canada as well as in some 150 other countries.

MMN NOTE: Muslims already accept Jesus Christ. It is a requirement of their faith. He was a prophet of Allah in a long line of prophets who all taught the same message- that Allah is one and beside Him there is no other.

Surprises in survey of Muslim women
WASHINGTON Muslim women do not think they are conditioned to accept second-class status or view themselves as oppressed, according to a survey released by The Gallup Organization.
According to the poll, conducted in 2005, a strong majority of Muslim women believe they should have the right to vote without influence, work outside the home and serve in the highest levels of government. In more than 8,000 face- to-face interviews conducted in eight predominantly Muslim countries, the survey found that many women in the Muslim world did not see gender issues as a priority because other issues were more pressing.

Islamophobia : Why I'm Banned in the USA
My experience reveals how U.S. authorities seek to suppress dissenting voices and -- by excluding people such as me from their country -- manipulate political debate in America. Unfortunately, the U.S. government's paranoia has evolved far beyond a fear of particular individuals and taken on a much more insidious form: the fear of ideas.

CANADA: FOUR MEN HAUNTED BY TORTURE - Canada Sued for Torture Deportations
Abdullah Almalki often shrinks from the distress of his children, terrified by the memories their crying unleashes.
Almalki, 35, a Carleton University graduate and a father of six, endured 22 months in Syrian jails where, he says, he was repeatedly tortured and interrogated based on information that could only have originated with Canadian security officials.

Detainee bill lifts Bush's power to new heights / President now has legal authority even courts can't challenge
With the final passage through Congress of the detainee treatment bill, President Bush achieved a signal victory Friday, shoring up with legislation his determined campaign against terrorism in the face of challenges from critics and the courts.
Rather than reining in the formidable presidential powers that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have asserted since Sept. 11, 2001, the law gives some of those powers a solid statutory foundation. In effect it allows the president to identify enemies, imprison them indefinitely and interrogate them -- albeit with a ban on the harshest treatment -- beyond the reach of the full court reviews traditionally afforded criminal defendants and ordinary prisoners.
To mark the passage of this legislation, there should be a national day of mourning, and a memorial service, for the U.S. Conststitution and Bill of Rights.

Dictatorship : "What Are We Becoming?"
Cafferty: President Bush is trying to pardon himself. Here's the deal: Under the War Crimes Act, violations of the Geneva Conventions are felonies, in some cases punishable by death. When the Supreme Court ruled that the Geneva Convention applied to al Qaeda and Taliban detainees, President Bush and his boys were suddenly in big trouble. They've been working these prisoners over pretty good. In an effort to avoid possible prosecution they're trying to cram this bill through Congress before the end of the week before Congress adjourns. The reason there's such a rush to do this? If the Democrats get control of the House in November this kind of legislation probably wouldn't pass.

Truth about the War in Iraq
With the time to the November election running down, I wanted to point out a few truths about the Iraq War. President Bush has repeatedly spoon fed the American people this line about how the war in Iraq is a central front in the War on Terror. But the facts speak differently. The facts show that we created this front and that prior to our invasion of Iraq, Hussein and Bin Laden were enemies. In fact, Bin Laden wanted Hussein dead. But let's not confuse people with the facts!
