Taken off plane, 6 imams sue airline : Islamophobia
MINNEAPOLIS // Six Muslim men removed from a
plane last fall after being accused of suspicious
behavior are suing the airline and threatening to
sue the passengers who complained - a move some
fear could discourage travelers from speaking up
when they see something unusual.
Some lawyers worry suit against travelers may
discourage pointing out unusual conduct. The
civil rights lawsuit, filed earlier this month,
has so alarmed some lawyers that they are
offering to defend the unnamed "John Doe"
passengers listed as "possible defendants" for
free. They say it is vital that the flying public
be able to report suspicious behavior without fear of being dragged into court.

The REAL Face of War: The images that the media won't show you
War has been romanticized in innumerable books
and movies, and made fortunes for those who
exploited the subject well. (Clint Eastwood is
still at it, among others, with his latest opus,
Flags of Our Fathers). In most moviesat least
until recentlysoldiers died "beautifully"no
hideous wounds, no real gasping fear in their
eyes, they even got to say a few noble words for
posterity, proof of a charitable destiny that,
despite assigning them death, did not deny them
their fifteen seconds of centerstage.

Ringleaders and participants in sectarian
massacres in Tall Afar reportedly seeking refuge in an-Najaf
In a dispatch posted at 7:22pm Makkah time Friday
evening, Mafkarat al-Islam reported that men who
took part in the massacres of Sunnis in the
northern Iraqi city of Tall Afar on Tuesday in
which some 70 people were murdered have arrived
in the Shii holy city of an-Najaf in the south of the country.
The correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam reported
residents in the an-Najaf districts of
al-Qadisiyah, al-Muallimin, and al-Hannanah as
saying that 24 men believed to be members of the
pro-Iranian Shii sectarian Jaysh al-Mahdi
militia, arrived on Friday morning in the
city. The men have come to the Shii holy city
to escape arrest by US occupation forces who are
attempting to bolster the credibility of the
Shii sectarian puppet regime by making a show of
pursuing and prosecuting the sectarian killers.
The owner of the al-Imam al-Hujjah Hotel in
an-Najaf, Khayun Jabbarah, reported that the men
arrived in the city from Tall Afar and were
received by religious leaders in
an-Najaf. Jabbarah said that Ali al-Afari,
Qasim Mijbas, and Husayn Mudallil are the leaders
of the group that carried out the mass murders in
Tall afar in which nearly 100 Sunnis, among them
women and children, shot to death following
bombings that targeted Shii parts of the
city. Mafkarat al-Islam reported that the
al-Qaidah organization has reportedly taken
credit for the attacks on the Shiah.

Video : Killing the Children of Iraq - War Criminal
The immediacy of the unfolding tragedy in Iraq at
times makes one forget that prior to the war, the
nation had already endured twelve years of
devastation sanctions, where the highest price
was paid by the children of Iraq. According to
the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization,
567,000 children had died already by the end of
1995 from the effects of the sanctions. Two
courageous officials Dennis Halliday and Hans
von Sponeck resigned their posts at the UN
because they were unwilling to carry out a
genocide masquerading as foreign policy.
To the American secretary of state, Madeleine
Albright, this price was "worth it". Here is,
"Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq",
John Pilgers moving portrait of the devastation
wrought on the Iraqi society by the UN on behalf of US and UK.

Iraq the Model on being a House Arab
Remember the two Iraqi asshole brothers that Bush
quoted the other day? The idiots over at Iraq
"the Model"? Anyway, those two morons JUST had
their homes raided by American soldiers. Would
you believe that they offered the soldiers BBQ
and beer? Can you believe that? How disgusting
are they? How embarrassing for them. Those poor pathetic morons.
The most repulsive thing about the Iraq the Model
House Arabs getting their homes raided and then
them OFFERING to feed the soldiers are the
comments from the lunatics that visit that blog.
I mean there are comments from American redneck
simpletons congratulating the ITM brothers for
having a "GOOD ATTITUDE" while having their home
raided. There is even some ex Marine on there who
said he really appreciated it when people had
"JOLLY" attitudes while being searched. Isn't that great, guys?

Land Day : Zionist Occupy Palestinian Land
Today we commemorate Land Day March 30th to
protest the continued Israeli process of land
confiscation and other tools of ethnic cleansing
(background and resources at Stop the Wall ).
More people are waking up to the reality of the
historical and ongoing injustice inflicted on the
Palestinian people. Even more people are
beginning to realize the centrality of this issue
in the instability and mayhem that extended from
Lebanon to Iraq, Iran and beyond. Elites and
oppressors like Condi Rice are trying to keep the
so called "peace process" alive (which is status
quo) while they continue to murder any
possibility of real peace. They sweep under the
rug their own complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity.
But humanity refuses to surrender and I am always
amazed first at the resilience, adaptability, and
amazing spirit of our people. I am also amazed at
the refusal of so many people to play their
assigned roles of passive consumers (consumers of
products and consumers of propaganda).

How Palestine became Israels Land : Zionist Crime
For Palestinians, theirs is not the land of
conquest, but the land of their roots going back
to time immemorial. Such a lineage does not rely
on a biblical promise like the Jewish claim that
God promised the land to Abraham and his
descendants, and is therefore, the historical
site of the Jewish kingdom of Israel. It belongs
to the people of Palestine by the simple fact of
their continuous residence repeated through birth
and possession going back to the earliest
Canaanites and even those people living there
before recorded history. They were there when the
Israelites invaded the land, occupied it, and
held it intermittently as wave after wave of
other conquerors came and went, and they were
still there when the Romans put an end to Jewish
Palestine by destroying Jerusalem in 135AD. If a
religious basis is sought, then the Palestinians
can lay claim to being the descendants of
Abrahams son Ishmael who is regarded the
forefather of the Arabs. But actually,
Palestinian rights are enshrined in the
universally accepted principle that land belongs
to its indigenous inhabitants. Thus, the modern
day struggle for this land by European Jewish
immigrants who have no connection with Palestine
other than through their religion is a colonial
enterprise that seeks sovereignty for an
external Jewish population to the exclusion of
the indigenous Palestinians who, regardless of
faith Jewish, Christian or Muslim have lived together for centuries.

Palestinians. 'Brave soldiers filmed beating and

Pro-Israel lobby robs US democracy of meaning
Dr. Paul J. Balles argues that pressure by the
pro-Israel lobby in the USA has critically
undermined US democracy. He calls for a return of
the US government to the people.
Yesterday an Arab friend sent me an email full of
photos of Americans holding up signs saying
"We're sorry." These were people who felt guilty
about what the American government has been doing around the world.

over Mogadishu on Friday as the worst fighting in
the Somali capital for more than 15 years left dozens of civilians dead.

by a missile and came down on waste land in

Violence has continued in Mogadishu, the Somali
capital, for a third day, in what the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
has called "the worst fighting in more than 15 years".
Corpses lay in the streets on Saturday as ongoing
fighting and mortar fire made it difficult to
retrieve bodies or tally the dead.

9/11 : Guantánamo prisoner charges confession extracted through torture
A Guantánamo detainee has charged that he was
tortured into confessing to a role in the 2000
bombing of the USS Cole. Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri,
41, a Saudi national of Yemeni descent, said he
faced years of torture following his arrest in
2002 and that he fabricated stories to satisfy his captors.
Al-Nashiri was one of 14 detainees moved by the
US to the Guantánamo prison camp last September.
These 14 "high-value" detainees were transferred
following the exposure of a network of CIA-run
secret prisons around the world and the Bush
administrations acknowledgement of the prisons existence.
