Comments on this journal
The issue of media and throwing the blames on sect.'s can be irrelvant when you get to read about the body counts from these documents explosions in places of worship or others!!
This is not a secaterian issue, this is a civility issue.
I wrote before about the current role of shiaa militia's in contributing to the lack of civility in Iraq, whether playing the role of the local bullies!! and there role in the tit-for-tat operations with the other side.
But my brother can't u feel its unbelievable that muslims do suicide bombings to other muslim for 2 straight years!! This is not a media issue, those are verfied body counts and pictures. Brother u think what happen in Amman was an accident. ITs people think that are doing Allah's work and finding the infidal but in reailty they lost their touch with reailty because of the extreme duress and loss they suffered . (The women lost her husband and 3 brothers).
Why I brought the point of disrespect because the typical skeptical Iraqi and arabs outside Iraq always say media this and media that, Bro if the US censor the media that Bad u would have never heard about abu Graib and all the war dirt that comes out or use of illegal weapons. The us may fake annoucements but what about the true loss of life by supposdly our brothers.
Where are the herioisim in that.
The skeptical arabs are doing the same mistake that saddam and arabs did to egypt after Camp David, see every body followed their path even the palastenians!! We are no strangers to short sightness, and not having any stratigeic plans.
Brother You know very well the reason that we live outside our countries because we can't handle whats going on in our countries either because of violence, or mostly because of economical or freedom of opinions.
So why like the status que.
I hope that Zarqawi really got killed, maybe those idiots now shift their tactics and just concentrate on the americans.
They talk like 15 years old coming out of the religion class with no idea of how complex the results of their actions is.
That JE is perfectly address people with your point of view, you have total disrespect for the majority of Iraqies on 2 folds.
1- You deny that issues like suicide bombers are indirectly supported by muslims of your country of origion because or pure religious hate.
Also you disrespect the Iraqi that died from those bombings.
2- Your preference for the Palastenian cause: Your free to take up there cause, but pleeeease spare me the lecturing about my cause.
Arabs are facilitating suicide bombings in my country, and you sound like one of them with this attitude.
How do you know Iraq lost more ppl defending the causes you mentioned? Easy to make claims. All Arab countries lost ppl for different causes but end of the day the only ppl who have suffered tremendously for more than 50 years remain to be the Palestinians. No other Arab ppl have lived under occupation, their women gave birth at checkpoints, carried travel permits to get to nearby towns to visit family and friends ONLY the Palestinians this is the truth.
This is JE is not to defend the vile american occupation, this is to explain to some arabs and muslims that they lost the connection with the majority of Iraqis.
For example: there is a legitimate possibilty that all palastenians that were in Iraq will be kicked out because of the high anti-arab sentimants in large portions of the population there.
The problem with arabs and muslims and what they don't understand that Iraq lost more people due to causes like defending nationalism, or idealisim ( freeing Palastine) in the last 25 years than7 times the number of palastenians and arabs died in all the arab Israeli wars to date- from 1948 to 2005.
