Osama’s speech

I certainly don’t know what to make of Osama’s speech or whatever he is trying to convey. His rhetoric about murdering Londoners or Spaniards (if he ordered the attacks) is dark chapter in the annals of the History of Alqaida. Before September 11, 2001, there wasn’t occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, I don’t understand why asking now for a truce? Does that mean Osama will accept the American hegemony in the Middle East if American’s still supports Israel remain in Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait or any other countries that the U.S has a military base or strongly associated with? If that is the case, then he must admit for the murder of innocent civilians on September 11, 2001 and before that in East African bombings which took many African’s life. All those events took place before the invasion of two countries. (Iraq and Afghanistan)
Many people around the world have a fear of American aggression that is now taking place; for that, not to many people shade tears if this county attacked. But the problem with that wish is that, even if Osama or his likes succeeded in killing massive amount people, it would only make the world less safe for everyone else mostly for the poorest segment of the population as we may in no way predict where this retaliation or tit for tat takes us.
America should not be attacked in this country where every attack is only produce loss of innocent life. One innocent life taken wouldn’t justify even if the target is purely the military one. Osama say he is a Muslim and fighting for the honor of Muslims; I am also a Muslim and understand the status of Muslims in many countries including the US. Unlike many European countries that are openly advocating stripping of rights of Muslims, the US despite being attacked didn’t go that far. I am by no means an apologetic Muslim and have no fear of being picked up somewhere and sent to be tortured somewhere as the US has done it time and again; but I am simply stating the status of Muslims in France who are ten percent of the population or Holland who is attacking the Muslims openly ridiculing their culture and religion imposing a ban on dressing or discrimination on jobs or many other “western democracies” are much worst than the US. If Osama had so desired, he could have spent his resources and talent in investing in America to help Muslims educate and oppose American support of Israel openly through the media or working with intra-religious contact to redress the unfair treatment of Palestinians. As I am very aware, Osama is not an advocate of democracy or the participation of people in day to day life.
Osama could attack America in the near future; the attack in the name Allah the Merciful and the Compassionate is indeed will be very upsetting to American Muslims who were born or lived for years in relative peace and with minor harassment. But I would hate to see the attack on Muslims increase by ordinary people as well as by law enforcements in this country as well as in Europe who are aching to expel us and send us to torture camps around the world. Muslims should be prepared for that and accept what is befallen us, or try that from happening only through legal means. The chance of that happening is very slim if attack on america occured, we will be branded as "them" attack on us will be justified, we could be in concentrating camps like japanese Americans or deported like Mexican Americans. Muslims are replacing the hated Jewish in Europe and America now.

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot. According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

  1 Million Dead in Iraq? 6 Reasons the Media Hide the True Human Toll of War -- And Why We Let Them    :      Information Clearing House: ICH By John Tirman July 20, 2011 "Alternet" - - As the U.S. war in Iraq winds down, we are entering a familiar phase, the season of forgetting—forgetting the harsh realities of the war. Mostly we forget the victims of the war, the Iraqi civilians whose lives and society have been devastated by eight years of armed conflict. The act of forgetting is a social and political act, abetted by the American news media. Throughout the war, but especially now, the minimal news we get from Iraq consistently devalues the death toll of Iraqi civilians. Why? A number of reasons are at work in this persistent evasion of reality. But forgetting has consequences, especially as it braces the obstinate right-wing narrative of “victory” in the Iraq war. If we forget, we learn nothing. I’ve puzzled over this habit of reaching for the lowest possible estimates ...
