Although representing only a minority of Iraq’s Sunni population, salafist groups have played a disproportionate role in the anti-American resistance and have been responsible for sparking a sectarian war in the country. NASR SALEM discusses the outlook, aims and objectives of Iraq’s salafist extremists... It was a scene that could have been taken from the annals of the Taliban’s Afghanistan. On October 18 scores of al-Qa’ida-affiliated gunmen on October 18 staged a boisterous parade in the streets of Ramadi, the capital of Iraq’s restless western Anbar province, to celebrate the declaration of an Islamic state that claims to govern Iraq’s predominantly Sunni Arab areas in central and western Iraq, rather than serving as a single, all-encompassing political community and government for the citizens of Iraq. The black-clad gunmen also raised placards vowing to continue to fight the US occupiers and the current Iraqi government. Similar parades were also reported in some towns in the...

Congratulation Hugo Chavez! You showed leadership, heart and stood up to the American bully: Baby Bush. Go Chavez! Go! Help the poor!

http://www.ethrev.com/2006/nov/11282006_protest_war_with_somalia.html Worldwide protest against Meles Zenawi's invasion of Somalia Ethiopian Review Nov 28, 2006 Ethiopian dictator Meles Zenawi has invaded Somalia after receiving a green light from the United States last week. Leaders of the Somali Islamic Courts Union (ICU), on their part, have asked Muslim jihadists around the world to come to their aid. According to a recent U.N. report, currently at least eight countries are lined up backing either the Meles regime or the ICU. From all indications, Meles and his Tigrean People Liberation Front (TPLF) may have succeeded in igniting a regional war involving all Horn of Africa countries and beyond. Without Meles, this war will not have started While the inept U.S. State Department officials may be fooled by the intelligence Meles provided to them about the threat of the ICU, every one else, including the Europeans, believe that he is invading Somalia to divert attention from the in...

Why is Saddam in court now? Why was he sentenced to death? Why many suspected war criminals in jail but hundreds times more roam around without fear? How could the most wanted criminal in the world, George W. Bush still calling shots that consume hundreds of life everyday? The answer is very clear to me. If you are powerful, if you have big guns, or don’t threaten the big powers and submit to them then you are safe; otherwise, you will be dragged to court established by winners, the powerful and their puppets (the puppets forget they could be next if they don’t continue to do what they are told) and you could be sentenced to death or life in prison or whatever the winners deemed necessary. Saddam committed a crime for ordering the death of thousands of Iraqis and waged a war against Iran to please western powers specially the Americans who are now preparing to put him in the gallows. It is said that Saddam has a blood of about 300,000 people in his hand but the question is why is he t...

This morning I would like to honor Iraqis who are dying to defend their country, honor and freedom. Specially people of Fallujah, Ramadi, Baquba. Freedom loving people all over the world will forever honor you for your sacrifice and heavy price you paid in blood and money. God works in mysterious way is it not? Who would have thought the Sunni Arabs would save the world from the bully George W. Bush and his arrogant army! George would have gone to Iran, Syria, and bombed North Korea by now if had succeeded subjugating Iraqis. He could have gone to finish off Palestinians, throw Muslims in concentration camps, curb more and more of people’s right in the US. But thanks to Iraqis those things didn’t happen yet! Hundreds of billions spent to defeat you; the Shiites were armed to participate in killing you; the Kurds were unleashed to bomb your cities. I saw shivering kids clinched to their mothers dress in fear after their homes kicked open by American invading troops in the middle of the ...

Embolden by the US aid and a victory over Eritrea in battlefield; Ethiopia is playing its strength to show its might by invading the country of Somalia and attacking Somalian Islamic Court which controls most of Somalia. Ethiopia entered Somalia without provocation from the victorious Islamic Court. It was the Islamic Court who routed the war lords who were battered Somalia for more than 12 years which I think is a positive development, the warlords now surrendered or retreated to the corner waiting opportune time. Ethiopia invaded Somalia alleging an “invitation” from the Somalia Interim Government roughly controls Baidowa and surrounding area without any legitimacy from the populace in general. Somalian people went through a lot since 1991: war, famine and the breakup of Somalia into mini states. It is a country without effective government for those years but needed a strong government that could unit the country; now that role has been filled by the Court The American noise “War on...

Dr. Khair El-Din Haseeb Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like first to thank Dr. Michael Hudson for inviting me to talk to you this evening, and also to thank the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies. There are certain aspects of the invasion of Iraq which probably most of you know. It was an illegal war; there was no decision from the Security Council. It can't be justified by Chapter Seven of the United Nation’s charter as self-defense because Iraq didn't attack the United States, and didn't constitute an imminent danger for the United States, so there was no justification for the preemptive war. No weapons of mass destruction were there; no link with Al-Qaeda terrorists was proven. Lastly, they said it was about democracy, to make a model of democracy in Iraq, which was to be initiated in the Middle East........ First, there was the looting of Baghdad, starting with the National Museum, in other words, the looting of Iraqi history and records, regardless of who got hold of...
