When It Comes To Islam, Please Stop This “Problem” And “Solution” Nonsense

[Re-posted from January 16, 2010] Many continue to believe that if we argue that Islam itself is the problem, this will leave the West with no solutions. The word “solution” leapt out at me. I have written about it many times before, in regards to those who speak of a “two-state …Read More…

Hamas Plans To Rebuild With $1 Billion “From The International Community”

Why Should The West Be Bailing Out A Muslim Brotherhood Regime?

The American government has given Egypt more than $70 billion dollars in aid over the past 30 years. This has resulted only in encouraging corruption — there’s more to be corrupt about — in the army and in the courtier class, and has not made an ally of Egypt, a country which, throughout this …Read More…

Nasrallah, The Braggart Warrior And Hidden Imam, Addresses From A Hiding-Place His Brigades Of Bezonians In Beirut

Permanently on the run from Israel, Nasrallah doesn’t dare to appear in public. So shouldn’t we be allowed to call him the Hidden Imam? Or, at least, the Hiding Imam? But here he has been filmed, at an Undisclosed Location, offering bravado, and fire, and brimstone. And spliced into the brief …Read More…

Egypt: Dozens wounded in clashes between Muslim Brotherhood and anti-Sharia protesters

“Islamophobia” rampant in the Nile Delta town of Mahalla! “Egypt: dozens wounded in Nile Delta town clashes,” from ANSAmed, November 27 (thanks toJW):

(ANSAmed) – CAIRO, NOVEMBER 27 – Dozens have been wounded in clashes between Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators and opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in the Nile Delta town of Mahalla, where protesters are trying to attack the police station, state TV reported Tuesday. (ANSAmed).

“Western media is the new Al Jazeera Arabic”

An incisive analysis of media bias and whitewashing of the Muslim Brotherhood from Sultan Al Qassemi at Felix Arabia: “Western media is the new Al Jazeera Arabic,” November 27:

Over the past 24 hours Western channels have been repeatedly saying that Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsy has “agreed to limit|” his news powers. This is simply untrue. Not even by a long shot.

Morsy gave himselfunprecedented powers over the past few days resulting in demonstrations and clashes that killed two young Egyptians. Morsy is now the absolute ruler of Egypt supported, once again, by the US government and media channels. Previously Morsy’s blind support came from Al Jazeera Arabic but we are now seeing Western media being complicit in the same folly. The New York Times had this headline: “Seeming Retreat by Egypt Leader on New Powers“ here’s a page grab from @MarwaFarag in case they change it. Then Washington Post ran “Egypt’s Morsi appears to accept some limits on his power”, again untrue (this misleading headline was republished in The Independent). The BBC’s otherwise capable reporter misreports that “Morsy & the MB are keen on doing everything they can to diffuse the situation” (excuse me?) and then she says Morsy appeared to “have limited the the scope of the big powers that this decree has given him”. I recorded avideo of it here. The Guardian published “Morsi’s compromise fails to quell protesters” but its professional journalist Matthew Weaver promptly corrected the headline when I alerted him.

This is all despite Morsy’s spokesman Yasser Ali saying after Morsy’s meeting with the judges that there was ‘no change to the constitutional declaration’. No where did I read the word “compromise”.

But what explains this lax in standards by the Western media when it comes to the coverage of Morsy? Adel Iskandar asks on Facebook if this was “an honest mistake from the Times or a little Muslim Brotherhood waxing?” and that he is “worried this seemingly innocuous mistake is intentional.“

Read it all.

Walter Sieruk November 28, 2012 at 3:26 pm: The leaders of the State Israel would be wise not to trust the leaders of Hamas in anythings that they might promise during the so called “talks’ about a truce. For the heads of Hamas would be very disingenous in anything the claim about wanting peace. They would only dissimulate.
They would engage in the practice of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya. Which is the deception of non-Muslim for what they believe to be the good of Islam. In any “dialogue” with the heads of Hamas if they claim that they have peaceful intentions, they are lying.
Furthermore, it would be a good idea for the heads of the State of Israel in any “negotiations” with the characters of Hamas to heed to the wisdom of the Bible. Forit is written “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother them butter but their thoughts are of war.”
Psalm 55 :20,21. [NEB]
