DISQUS

T&P Yes, I don't think that line is really very striking for no one.

The question that strikes me now is: what would happen if the countries which had actually supported closing GITMO label the people imprisoned there as "dangerous" and don't want them? What will BHO aka "Hope and Change" do?

T&P And no one contradicts them, you see? No major TV station has aired this video, haven't them?
It's truly outraging...

T&P There has been an Islamic congress in Melilla, which finished some days ago. The conclusions they reached, among others, were:

science, who had always been a priviledge for artistocrats and priests, transformed into something common for all people [thanks to Islam] (?). Islam reached everyone after the contact with civilizations such as Greek, Indian or Chinese ones.

Well, I just don't see the truth of that statement. Science, as something which requires not only intelligence but work, has always been a priviledge. The inexistence of "aristocrats and priests" in Islam is disputable, firstly because Islamic society is even now very "aristocratic" (lots of poor people, very few billionaires) and, secondly, because imams and clerics have always had a very relevant position in society.

T&P TX for all your comments, AOW, they're very appreciated.

Well, it's worrying that there are JI's operatives (that is, directly AQ) infiltrating there. The MILF is violent enough to have these other guys there too.

"be that concession land or "understanding.

Or directly your new "Islamic State in the south"

The Philippines government will push for the creation of a federal Islamic state in the country's troubled south as part of efforts to forge a peace agreement with Muslim separatist rebels, an official said Wednesday.
Jesus Dureza, presidential adviser on peace talks with insurgent groups in the Philippines, said the government will seek amendments to the country's constitution to allow the establishment of 'a federal Bangsamoro (Muslim nation) governance unit.'

They recently backtracked from that, I think I read somewhere, but in the end it's just the same... When you promise the terrorists something like that, they really believe they are going to get it. If MILF is now weaker that it was, the presence of JI's terrorists can suggest they are going to take control, with a possible boost in violence in the country.

TT Sí, totalmente de acuerdo, como te he dejado dicho en tu blog. Claramente existe una división entre la sociedad y los ayatolás. Tarde o temprano la revolución islámica se acabará, sobre todo si cada vez aumenta más la represión. Eso sí, no sabemos a cuántas personas se llevará por delante, dentro y fuera de Irán. Ese enlace es fundamental.

Más: Vídeos de los disturbios en la embajada iraní en Estocolmo: la embajada usó armas electrónicas (in English).

Some people from the demonstration stormed the embassy area. Embassy personal used som kind of electronic weapons (tasers) iron batons, and knives against demonstrators. One person were taken to hospital due to knife stab from embassy personal another because of heart attack due to tumult outside the fence. They were all armed from the embassy and really violent. The demonstrators smashed windows of cars and smashed some windows of the buildings and tried to defend themselves against the heavily armed, embassy personal who didn´t even hesitate of using their wepaons against people.

Hugs.

TT Precisamente por eso lo enlacé, AOW.

Thanks for the tip. I will see it ASAP.

TT Gracias a tí por venir a comentar, AOW. También por comentar en español.
Sí, yo también lo creo. Desde luego que es más importante la protesta que las elecciones en sí.

ljcarolyne Yea, you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. NYT is pig crap. Like your new name for it.
