Why did Osama declare war on USA - Pt 2

This historical introduction is important (in order) to know the beliefs of Osama and his thoughts and ideology. I do not know – O American – if you are following the news of Osama; but I will remind you of his historical promise after the event of 9/11 when he said: “I swear by Almighty Allah who raised the heavens without any pillars, that America will not dream of living in security before we experience security in Palestine and not before all the infidel armies have left the land of Muhammad, peace be upon him”. And the one who knows Osama’s history, he will realize that Osama lived to abide (by) his promise.

Why did Osama declare war on USA - Pt 1

This is an article written in response to a Question asked by an American citizen. The Question (posted online) reads:

    I’m an American, and I really don’t believe everything my government says. I was moved by the way the media dealt with the death of Osama bin Ladin. I thought he was hated by the Muslims because of his ways; at least, that’s what the officials told us in our country. I realized after his death that he was loved by most of you! I want to know exactly what Osama meant to you as Muslims. I want to know the truth from you, and not from the media, because I simply do not trust the media. Please be straightforward and honest. I really want to know the truth.

Most dangerous War

As predicted the most dangerous battle ever to have been engineered will now manifest itself into the bloodiest war ever to be inflicted on to the people of the Middle East. Syrians have suffered at the hands of Bashar al Khanzeer and his Shabiha for nearly 3 years. They have suffered at the hands of the Americans and Israelis who have been funding disgusting terrorist mercenaries to carry out attacks on the muslimeen of Bilad al Sham to further their agenda of removing Bashar so they can replace him with someone just as corrupt and who in typical puppet fashion will only serve western interests.

Will the USA attack Syria!

On Wednesday, August 21st, the Syrian regime attacked civilians in the Damascus countryside of al-Ghouta, killing around 1729 people as reported by the Syrian opposition. Immediately the day after, French Foreign minister Laurent Fabius, said that "reaction with force" might be needed if the claim of using such weapons is confirmed. Last Friday, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the Pentagon has ordered some naval assets to move closer to Syria in preparation for a possible military strike using cruise missile. In addition, Britain has set a firm position too, where Prime Minister David Cameron spoke to US president Barack Obama in which they both agreed that there must be a "serious response" to using such weapons. On Sunday, several US lawmakers in Washington expressed their belief that they "expected limited military" strike by the US and its allies. Hence the important question: will the US strike the Assad regime?

Aafia, Malala and Western hypocrisy

As Malala Yousufzai delivered her speech in the UN General Assembly, in what is arguably the heart of western civilization – New York – another Muslim woman, Aafia Siddiqui, passed another day of her 86-year imprisonment in a Texas jail, in the model terrorist nation that the US is. Both Aafia and Malala are from Pakistan. But that is about the only similarity between them.

While Aafia was tortured endlessly – physically, psychologically and sexually – by the ‘peace keepers’ of the west, Malala was felicitated. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon commemorated July 12 as Malala Day. It is ironical that among the two, it was Aafia who apparently conformed to western ‘ideals’. Having immigrated to the US in 1990 and completed her PhD in neuroscience, Aafia should have been the perfect selling point for America in advocating feminism and women’s rights and its subsequent attempts in bombing Muslim countries to it. Instead, the exact opposite happened. Aafia was implicated on a series of flimsy charges and tortured in every possible manner to reduce a brilliant individual to a mass of broken bones and torn flesh. Hail the civility of the western civilization!

Malala attack: Taliban Speaks!

All Praise is due to Allah, The Glorious, The All-Mighty. And may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Prophet Muhammad, his family and his companions. Peace be upon those who follow the Guidance...

Almost four months on from a seemingly insignificant event in North-Western Pakistan, a headline echoed in a recent English newspaper:

“Peace icon Malala Yousafzai underwent successful surgery at a British hospital to reconstruct her skull and help restore lost hearing.”

By now, probably the entire world knows about this not-so-young ‘peace icon’ who has seemingly managed to charm the entire world with her “heroic” antics. She apparently ‘risked her life’ to promote ‘education’, ‘peace’ and ‘moderation’ in the world - something the ‘ignorant’, ‘extremist’, ‘terrorists’ can’t just seem to understand! What a story! As a perfect example of the devilish power of this uncontrollable media, this incident highlights the massive effect this media has in creating a desired global public opinion. And who doesn’t know the working hands behind the goo that is served up on the tube? The major media companies of the world are not owned by people intending to establish Shariah after all.

Malala Yousafzai was/is a young girl from the valley of Swat in North-Western Pakistan. This city is part of the blessed chain of locations that saw the beauty of Islamic Shariah in the 21st century. Anyone who has experienced the inner and outer peace that pervades blissfully through the land on which Allah’s Law is enforced will definitely know how wonderful a setting transpires.

My Lord’s Command is what I desire

It is my religion, it is my life

If only Allah’s Love could be witnessed by sight

The thorns would melt and the heavens would light!

Only a fool or someone overcome by the doleful whispers of Satan would dare transgress the limits set by Allah, The Creator of the Heavens and the earth. This Shariah that the whole world seems to fear is nothing but the Command of Allah as to how He The Exalted wants humankind to behave collectively. And in it, lies the natural order...

A Prisoner without Crime

A month ago, the guards here at Guantanamo Bay gave me an orange jumpsuit. After years in white and brown, the colours of compliant prisoners, I am very proud to wear my new clothes. The colour orange is Guantanamo’s banner. Anyone who knows the truth about this place knows that orange is its only true colour.

My name is Moath al-Alwi. I have been a prisoner of the United States at Guantanamo since 2002. I was never charged with any crime and I have not received a fair trial in US courts. To protest this injustice, I began a hunger strike in February. Now, twice a day, the US military straps me down to a chair and pushes a thick tube down my nose to force-feed me.

When I choose to remain in my cell in an act of peaceful protest against the force-feeding, the prison authorities send in a Forced Cell Extraction team: six guards in full riot gear. Those guards are deliberately brutal to punish me for my protest. They pile up on top of me to the point that I feel like my back is about to break. They then carry me out and strap me into the restraint chair, which we hunger strikers call the torture chair.

US-Taliban Negotiations

After twelve years of fighting, countless lives lost, tens of thousands of their fighters sacrificed, the Taliban opened their political office in Qatar. The aim of the office is to commence peace talks with the very entity that invaded Afghanistan. The United States has been pushing for this for a long time, via the regime of Hamid Karzai. This is a sure sign that the escalating financial and human cost of the conflict has brought the US to a stage where it has effectively conceded defeat.

Despite initiating the peace talks and paying a high price during the process - including the assassination of the ex-head of Afghan Peace Council - the Afghan government was caught off-guard with this development, leading to a stiff resistance towards it. As a result, the negotiations for the final stage of a strategic partnership between Afghanistan and the United States have been halted and the Afghan government has announced no intention of participating in the negotiations. Karzai’s excuse was the removal of the Taliban’s white flag as well as the use of the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” title, which the Taliban swiftly amended after they came under pressure from the United States, who also forced Karzai to change his stance.

Rape - USA's war weapon

In March 2006 four US soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division gang raped a 14 year old Iraqi girl and murdered her and her family —including a 5 year old child. An additional soldier was involved in the cover-up.

One of the killers, Steven Green, was found guilty on May 07, 2009 in the US District Court of Paducah and is now awaiting sentencing.

The leaked Public Affairs Guidance put the 101st media team into a "passive posture" — withholding information where possible. It conceals presence of both child victims, and describes the rape victim, who had just turned 14, as "a young woman".

The US Army's Criminal Investigation Division did not begin its investigation until three and a half months after the crime, news reports at that time commented.

This is not the only grim picture coming out of Iraq U.S. forces being accused of using rape as a war weapon.

US Exposed Again!

Reportedly, in an early morning of 29 May 2013, a U.S. Drone Strike killed four men in Pakistani Tribal area near North Waziristan. According to Pakistani officials, one of those killed in the strike was Wali ur Rehman, the number two commander of Pakistani Taliban but known as a rival to the leader of the TTP, Hakimullah Mehsud.According to the reliable sources, Wali ur Rehman was considered to be a more moderate and likely to be engage himself in serious peace negotiations with Islamabad. In this connection, Saifullah Mahsud, director of the FATA Research Centre said, "I would rather have Wali ur Rehman alive than dead". He also stressed that killing of Wali, would now strengthens the Hakimullah Mehsud clan. Saifullah also claimed, "Hakimullah represents the very worst of the TTP."

Post 2014 US Strategy in Af-Pak Region

Cities across Afghanistan were raged with anti-Pakistani demonstrations after a border clash between the countries resulted in the death of a member of the Afghan Border Police.The clash occurred on a newly built Pakistani military post that Afghanistan claims is on its soil. For long, Afghanistan and Pakistan have had a bitter relationship due to the disputed Durand line which divides both countries. Though drawn more than a hundred years ago to separate the current day Afghanistan from the then British India, this line still keeps thousands of families divided from one another as it crosses several villages and even houses.

Palestine: The Deir Yassin Massacre

On April 9, 1948, members of the underground Jewish terrorist group, the Irgun, or IZL, led by Menachem Begin, who was to become the Israeli prime minister in 1977, entered the peaceful Arab village of Deir Yassin, massacred 250 men, women, children and the elderly, and stuffed many of the bodies down wells. There were also reports of rapes and mutilations. The Irgun was joined by the Jewish terrorist group, the Stern Gang, led by Yitzhak Shamir, who subsequently succeeded Begin as prime minister of Israel in the early ’80s, and also by the Haganah, the militia under the control of David Ben Gurian. The Irgun, the Stern Gang and the Haganah later joined to form the Israeli Defense Force. Their tactics have not changed.

The massacre at Deir Yassin was widely publicized by the terrorists and the numerous heaped corpses displayed to the media. In Jaffe, which was at the time 98 percent Arab, as well as in other Arab communities, speaker trucks drove through the streets warning the population to flee and threatening another Deir Yassin. Begin said at the time, "We created terror among the Arabs and all the villages around. In one blow, we changed the strategic situation."

CIA's Plan to control Social Media

Explosive growth of internet introduction of social media as medium of information over the last decade has continued to defy imagination. Internet World Stats have estimated 2,405,510,175 internet users worldwide till June 30, 2012. This represented about 34.3% of the population worldwide. Out of which Asia is leading with 1,076,681,059 (44.8% of internet users worldwide), followed by Europe: 18,512,109 (21.5%), North America: 273,785,413 (11.4%), Latin America / Caribbean: 254,915,884 (10.6%), Africa: 167,335,676 (7.0%), Middle East: 90,000,455 (3.7%) and Oceania / Australia: 24,279,579 (1.0%). In fact IT through Internet media has played a decisive role in globalization.

Objectives behind Obama's decision to keep US troops in Afghanistan post 2014

By Zabihullah Mujahid (Afghan Taliban Spokesman)

On last Tuesday night (Feb 12, 2013) Obama announced the withdrawal of 34 thousand troops from Afghanistan.

In the beginning of his first presidential term in 2009, Mr. Obama directed to send 35 thousand additional forces to Afghanistan while most of the Eastern analysts and the American military experts had the divergent opinion about this step of Obama.

When Obama approved the dispatch of 35 thousand additional forces to Afghanistan on the recommendation of Stanly Mc Cristal, the commander general of American forces; even at that time a number of American experts considered this action of Obama as intentionally forcing the American troops into the death trap.

In response to a public opinion survey carried out by ‘The Inter Press Service News Agency’ with some American observers about sending the additional forces to Afghanistan by Obama, the Executive Chief of the Institute of Public Accuracy in Washington, Norman Solomon, had already said that I do not understand why the officials are deliberately sending our children to the ditch of death, because the dispatch of additional forces is just a military insanity which should have been stopped in the year 2009.

Similarly at that time, according to a survey, published by the American television network CNN, 39% people were in favour while 59% were against Obama’s decision.

This was the opinion of the American political analysts and public media, when approximately 50 countries had active presence beside the Americans inside Afghanistan and some of them were sending even fresh forces at that time.

Now everyone has admitted the defeat of all foreign forces in Afghanistan including the Americans therefore most of the allied countries have already withdrawn their troops from Afghanistan and others have announced, July 2014, as the deadline for their withdrawal. How can Obama achieve in the lost battlefield, with the help of his 16 thousand confidence-lost soldiers, what he could not accomplish in the previous 12 years even in the presence of 150 thousand forces?

The ‘Great Game’ for Algeria

By Adnan Khan

As the French intervention in Mali reaches its first month, it is Algeria that continues to receive global media headlines. The Ain Aminas hostage crisis thrust Algeria into the limelight and highlighted the nation’s close relationship with Europe. The Northern African nation on the Mediterranean has historically been important to Europe and especially France. Due to its sheer size and close proximity to Europe, Algeria plays an important role in North and West Africa. This is why a number of nations are competing for influence over the country.

Algeria came under French rule in 1848 and, unlike the British and other European colonialists, the French attempted to assimilate the majority Muslim dominated populace of Algeria into French culture and customs. During this period the French created a small French-speaking indigenous elite in order to consolidate their authority over the country. Until independence, the whole Mediterranean region of Algeria was administered as an integral part of France. Algeria was one of France's longest-held overseas territories, and 50,000 French people emigrated to Algeria between 1825 and 1847. These settlers benefited from the French government's confiscation of land. The Algerian war of independence from 1954 - 1962 attempted to change the status quo and after an estimated 50,000 deaths the Evian Accords were signed, giving Algeria its apparent independence.

Globalizing Torture: 54 Countries Join USA In Global Kidnap, Detention And Torture

 via countercurrents.org

At least 54 countries co-operated with USA inn global kidnap, detention and torture operation mounted after 9/11 attacks, says Globalizing Torture , a comprehensive report. The countries include Afghanistan , Canada , Egypt , Iceland , Iran , Ireland , Jordan , Pakistan and the UK .

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 , the Central Intelligence Agency embarked on a highly classified program of secret detention and extraordinary rendition of terrorist suspects. The program was designed to place detainee interrogations beyond the reach of law. Suspected terrorists were seized and secretly flown across national borders to be interrogated by foreign governments that used torture, or by the CIA itself in clandestine “black sites” using torture techniques.

Globalizing Torture is the most comprehensive account yet assembled of the human rights abuses associated with CIA secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations.

It details for the first time what was done to the 136 known victims, and lists the 54 foreign governments that participated in these operations. It shows that responsibility for the abuses lies not only with the United States but with dozens of foreign governments that were complicit.

More than 10 years after the 2001 attacks, Globalizing Torture makes it unequivocally clear that the time has come for the United States and its partners to definitively repudiate these illegal practices and secure accountability for the associated human rights abuses.

Ian Cobain reported :

The full extent of the CIA's extraordinary rendition program has been laid bare with the publication of the report showing there is evidence that more than a quarter of the world's governments covertly offered support.

Iran and Syria are identified by the OSJI as having participated in the rendition program. Syria is said to have been one of the "most common destinations for rendered suspects", while Iran is said to have participated in the CIA's program by handing over 15 individuals to Kabul shortly after the US invasion of Afghanistan , in the full knowledge that they would fall under US control.
