The ‘War on Terror’ cannot be won…Part VIII

I had a comment the other day that reminded me of two things. One is that sometimes, when writing at length on certain issues, one gets ‘new’ readers who are not familiar with ground covered earlier, and who will ask questions that may have long since been answered for ‘old’ readers. But it also... Sign in to see full entry.

Today just a few observations…

Sunni vs Shia After announcing to the American people that if aid is offered to Iraq there will be no ‘boots on the gound’, the W. H. Amateur is now prepared to send 300 ‘Special Forces’ personnel, i.e. 600 boots… He is also calling for a ‘political solution’ to the country’s problems and letting it... Sign in to see full entry.

The ‘War on Terror’ cannot be won…Part VIII

"The military fatigues and this rifle that you see me holding – regardless of my advanced age, my frailty, my illness, and the heart attack I had – are in response to the call of the highest authority, [Shia Muslim] Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the representative of the Imam Mahdi. " Iraqi... Sign in to see full entry.

The ‘War on Terror’ cannot be won…Part VII

Ever since 9/11, the vast and silent Muslim majority has been hiding behind a myth which we have helped create – the myth that the Abdullah Azzam Brigades; the Abu Nidal organization; Abu Sayyaf; the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army; the Akhil Bharat Nepali Ekta Samaj; the al-Aqsa Foundation; the al-Aqsa...

The ‘War on Terror’ cannot be won…Part VI

Today I shall try to begin with an answer to a question I have often been asked, an answer I have hinted at in the past, and it boils down to this: what can we do about the ‘Terror’? The lastest to ask the question is our adnohr, who writes “ If you have an answer to that question, other than... Sign in to see full entry.

The ‘War on Terror’ cannot be won…Part V

Let me begin today with the words of Mudhar Zahran (with whom I shall get in touch, by the way): “ Many of us Muslims like what the Islamists say and do, and that is why we are silent. There are countless Muslims who want to Islamize the West by changing it from within, using demographic, legal, and... Sign in to see full entry.

The ‘War on Terror’ cannot be won…Part IV

I hope you’ll forgive me for flipping my lid a bit in my previous post, ‘A Muslim Voice of Despair…II’. Sometimes frustration gets the better of me, LOL… Meanwhile, things have been happening that has been likened to an ‘earthquake’ (CBC) – ISIS has taken control of Iraq ’s second largest city, and...

A Muslim Voice of Despair…II

Just two (2) people bothered to read the previous post, the first part of which this is the second. That ought to be shocking, but no longer is, at least not to me – the malaise of the PC syndrome that lies at the heart of the problems this courageous man spells out here is very much in evidence in...

A Muslim Voice of Despair…I

I had really planned to continue with my piece called ‘ The ‘War on Terror’ cannot be won’ but was sidelined by other things. But today I came across an article, written by a Muslim, which in many ways mirrors my own thinking! He just fails to take that last step…And of course many of the things he...

Meanwhile in Israel…

What with Allah’s Boko Haram soldiers abducting more women and shooting babies; what with Allah’s Pakistani Taliban killing more people at the Karachi airport; what with Allah’s Sunni soldiers (ISIS) fighting Allah’s Shia soldiers in Mosul, Iraq, and where they are instituting a reign of terror in...
