This is ... Collateral Damage is organized around key military operations on the
battlefield - Convoys, Checkpoints, Detentions, Raids, Suppressive Fire ... uncover how the very conduct of the war
and occupation have turned the American forces into agents of terror for most
Iraqis. The military convoys that speed through the centers of towns, often
driving on the wrong side of the street or on sidewalks, have become trains of
death. Soldiers fire upon Iraqi vehicles with impunity at checkpoints; pregnant
women being rushed to hospital have been killed at roadblocks when their
husbands failed to slow down and children have watched in horror as their
parents have been killed.

indicating that, despite profound disagreements among 2008 presidential
candidates on almost every important issue facing the United States today (economy,

their deep personal commitments to one foreign country-Israel- as well as their
determination to maintain unyielding U.S. support for the Jewish State". This

Dr. Ghada Karmi's latest
book Married to Another Man: Israel's Dilemma in Palestine opens with
the problem European Zionists faced over a century ago when they first mooted
the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine.
They found then that there was already a well-established Palestinian society
existing in the land they wished to claim as their own. Hence the message sent
back to Vienna
by the two rabbis who made the discovery: "The bride is beautiful, but she
is married to another man." On May 15, 2008, Dr. Ghada Karmi was
featured on DemocracyNow, gave us a glimpse to what it was like for a child to give up her home in 1948 ...
Muslims believe also that the West
is trying to impose its culture and its beliefs, as well as its form of
government, upon the Muslim world. Islam is not a backward or aggressive
religion. It was founded as a way to find God, and to be a society that changed
the whole world, in a way that everyone was created equal, and generosity
towards the disadvantage.
President George W. Bush may have cooled down his wild rhetoric about "Islamofascists," but the Republican presidential contender John McCain and others have filled the vacuum with their constant references to Islamic extremism as being the threat of the century and the defining issue of our times. Mainstream cable television, local newspapers and public affairs radio make things even worse by referring to Islam and Muslims primarily in the context of violence, warfare, fanaticism, or anti-Americanism. So it is refreshing and useful for more sensible American relations with Muslims and their cultures that this book provides a clear, emphatic antidote to the fear, racism and anger that still drive many Americans' attitudes to Muslims and Islam.
Book Review - Barack Obama, 45, is a U.S. senator from Illinois and a Democratic candidate for president in the elections of 2008. Precisely because Obama may become the President of the United States of America, his book "The Audacity of Hope" is an interesting read which is recommended for anyone who hopes to understand Obama's new style of politics.
What and why angels ask God, what was his reason in creating mankind, when he will bring all kinds of blood shed and problems to the earth, when the angels are in constant worship of Allah. Why did God create this creature out of putrid mud and let him be the beloved creation of all the world? Is it because Allah created man with a great depth of intelligence and feeling, that when he can love and obey Allah with all the choices that he has, isn't his love for God, is of greater value, because he chooses to love Allah.
"You can not simply read the Koran. Not if you do not take it seriously. You have to surrender to it already or you fight it. It attacks tenaciously, directly, and personally: it debases, criticizes, shames, and challenges. From the onset it draws a line of battle and I was on the other side."
James Petras' New Book: The Power Of Israel In The United States
60% of the Democrat Party's fundraising and 35% of that for the Republicans came from Jewish-funded Political Action Committees (PACS) ... with enormous influence, and along with all others comprising the Jewish Lobby, have created a "tyranny of Israel over the US " with consequences grave enough to threaten world peace and stability, the global economy, and the very future of democracy in this country.
Book Review - Barrett begins with a broad overview, stating that Muslims "are an American success story" ...."I am to provide what I think is the beginning of what should be a continuing effort to understand our Muslim neighbors."

The Biblical Prophecy and the Promised Land .... The search for peace...
Some criticize the notion of the Muslim world reunification as aspiration for an Empire, and fear the clash of civilization. Dr. Harun Yahya takes on the critics, and provides historical account of religious tolerance and human rights during the period of Muslim rule; many are lost today in so called "Muslim countries". Dr. Yahya also offers a perspective on the positive results by such unification in the future, and as a way to resolve many of the internal and global conflicts
"Reading the Muslim Mind" is an outcome of many lectures and meetings with American Churches, Synagogues, Interfaith groups as well as at Colleges and Universities introducing mainstream, moderate Islam, answering questions and responding to sometimes hostile audience and Islamophobia advocates ....
"Oil & Water: Two Faiths, One God" is an inter-religious dialogue book written for people who want to learn more about Islam and Muslims, particularly as they relate to Christianity and Christians...... The media along with a number of important Christian leaders have made very negative comments about Islam and portray it as a threat to the values of the "Christian West". Like oil and water they do not mix. The book confronts these popular perceptions head-on....
Barbara Boxer, a prominent California Senator was placed under the fire by the Zionist extremist machine, because she awarded a Muslim young man, for his activism, and promoting peace. These Zionist groups, employed an intensive campaign of pressure on the Senator, it was so brutal, she had to withdraw the award after she already gave it out publicly, just to "make the pain go away". Ironically, one of these Zionist groups is called "America against Hate" !
Now they put the pressure on Carter
President Carter's goal is to bring us together by exposing the problem of the Palestinians suffering within the occupied territories under Israel's apartheid regime. He presents hope that debates and healthy discussions will develop in this country. However, he notes that these healthy discussions practically do not exist, due to Zionist extremist groups that have been very successful in silencing anyone that comes close to this subject.
President Carter had to speak out against the injustice and crimes committed daily by the Zionists against the Palestinian civilian population. The majority of peaceful Jews in Israel are also victimized by the same Zionist groups, who are imposing their will, and standing in the way of allowing a viable Palestinian State to exist. There is a strangle hold of Zionism on the policy makers in Israel and the US, breaking the agreements, continuing to build illegal settlements inside the Palestinian occupied territories, as well as, building the illegal wall - not between Israel and Palestine, but on the Palestinian land -- to carve up additional territories.
You will read about the agreement between the Palestinians and Israel, whereby Palestinians agreed to accept only 22% of their land in exchange for peace. But even this "smaller" dream State is yet to be realized after decades of sufferings.
Are the two sides ready for Peace?
The majority of Jews in Israel are for peace and the return of land to the Palestinians. All the Arab States, and the Muslim World, have already pledged peace, reconciliation and cooperation with Israel, in exchange for the establishment of the Palestinian State.
What is the problem?
This is a simple and legitimate question, but it is unlikely you will get the answer from major news networks, or politicians, under the influence of Zionist groups.
Why?
How is it that an innocent people subjected to the terrible Nazi
Holocaust in WWII can implement similar Holocaust in Palestine? What kind of attitude should Muslims adopt in the face of Israeli Terror?
Both questions answered in this video.
