A picture paints a thousand words – in this case about Islamic writer Adem Özköse, who took the Mavis Marmara photographs caught up in the latest Reuters ‘fauxtography’ doctoring scandal

It transpires that the pictures were supplied to Reuters by a Turkish photographer and writer, Adem Özköse. In addition to his IHH (the terror-linked charity that organised the Turkish flotilla) links, he is also a journalist writing for the Turkish publication ‘Real Life Magazine’ and a writer of book supporting Islamism and in particular, the ‘Palestine’ cause.

No surprise here.

Suspected militants blow themselves up in Pakistan

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (al-Reuters) – Three suspected Taliban militants blew themselves up on Saturday as police chased them in Pakistani Kashmir, police said.

Militants have carried out a series of bomb attacks across Pakistan in recent weeks in retaliation for a military offensive in the northwest, but there have been no attacks in Pakistan’s part of the disputed Kashmir region.
The Saturday incident will revive concern that the militants are trying to expand their campaign of violence to distract the military as it makes progress in an offensive in South Waziristan on the Afghan border.
Police said they launched a hunt in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir, after residents reported that three men had dumped a bag of weapons on a road in the center of the town.
“They ran toward the mountains when our men chased them and blew themselves as we got close,” Tariq Qayyum, a senior police official, told Reuters.
“Their bodies have blown apart. We have found two heads and a torso.”
Kashmir is at the core of a decades-old dispute between Pakistan and India and the cause of two of their three wars since their independence from British rule in 1947.
Separatist insurgents backed by Pakistan have been fighting Indian security forces in India’s part of the Himalayan region for the past 20 years, but Pakistani Kashmir had been largely peaceful

Afghans say poverty, not Taliban, main cause of war…

Sure thing.     But  poverty is caused by Islam, and Islam causes terror and jihad, and that causes poverty for which the kuffar is to blame.

Okay, but now lets talk about winning hearts and minds of the Muslim people, you Islamophobes, you!

KABUL (Reuters) – Most Afghans see not Taliban militants but poverty, unemployment and government corruption as the main causes of war in their country, according to a report by a leading aid group released on Wednesday.

After three decades of war, Afghanistan remains one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. It is also one of the most corrupt. Unemployment stands at 40 percent and more than half the country live below the poverty line.

On top of that, violence is at its highest levels since U.S.-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban in late 2001.

The report, based on a survey of more than 700 ordinary Afghans by British charity Oxfam and several local aid groups, found that 70 percent of people questioned viewed poverty and unemployment as the main drivers of the conflict.

Nearly half of those surveyed said corruption and the ineffectiveness of their government were the main reasons for the continued fighting, while 36 percent said the Taliban insurgency was to blame.

The 704 respondents from around the country were allowed to give multiple answers on reasons for the conflict.

“The people of Afghanistan have suffered 30 years of unrelenting horror. Afghan society has been devastated,” said Grace Ommer, Oxfam Country Director for Afghanistan.

“Repairing this damage can’t be done overnight. It will take a long time for the economic, social and psychological scars to heal … Afghanistan needs more than military solutions,” she said in statement.

AFGHANS FRUSTRATED

There are some 110,000 foreign soldiers in Afghanistan, 68,000 of them American, trying to quell a strengthening Taliban insurgency that has spread to previously peaceful areas.

U.S. President Barack Obama is in the final stages of deciding whether to send up to 40,000 more U.S. troops.

But ordinary Afghans are frustrated at the slow pace of development, endemic corruption and the inability of Afghan and international security forces to stop the violence.

Despite the billions of dollars in aid poured into the country, most Afghans have seen few changes to their lives. Afghanistan relies on aid for around 90 percent of its spending.

“Many individuals felt that though much had been promised to the Afghan people, little had actually been delivered — creating frustration and disillusionment and ultimately undermining stability,” Oxfam said in its report.

“Individuals called for better measures to ensure that economic development and aid reach those who need it the most,” it said.

After the Taliban, the reason most people gave for the continued fighting in their country was foreign interference, 25 percent of respondents saying other countries were to blame.
