Muslim call to Obama “save us”

Time to bust some more muslim propaganda.

Preoccupied with the American presidential election, the world has paid little or no attention to the following developments, the consequences of which will have to be dealt with by Barack Obama.
-Tosses out the muslims are the victim here BS right at the start-to be expected but necessary to put the reader onto a guilt trip. You are supposed to feel sympathetic.

Seemingly disparate, the events are part of the greater crisis confronting the United States and the world of Muslims.
-Linking the entire muslim world to the US was a bit over the top.

Winding down any one of the conflicts along that crescent – say, Iraq, as he hopes to – will only minimize, not eliminate, the dangerous fissure that defines this era.
-What fissure and who started it? Are you talking about the madman mohammed and his call for jihad?

American missiles continue to land in Pakistan, killing dozens, mostly civilians. The latest of 19 such air strikes since August killed 27 in two villages.
-A common line in islamic propaganda but all insurgents are “civilians” there is no muslim army fighting against the USA. There are some fighting insurgents with us. I wonder why that was not made clear?

The National Assembly has unanimously passed a resolution calling for Pakistan to break off with the American war on terrorism. That prompted the government to tell Washington that air strikes “must be stopped immediately.”
-F the National Assembly and the camel they rode in on.

The resolution also called for an end to Pakistan’s own military campaign in the border region “as soon as possible,” for it has left nearly 300,000 civilians homeless.
-No mention of who endangered those poor homeless people?

The irony of Pakistan protesting the U.S. bombing while conducting its own is but one of the many absurdities of the war on terror.
-The only absurdities in this article is the support for terrorists while calling for tolerance.

In Afghanistan, scores of civilians continue to die under American air attacks. The latest killed up to 90 people at a wedding and wounded 28, including the bride.
-Yeah, nice shooting on that one.

President Hamid Karzai is pleading with Obama to end the madness of NATO killing innocents. But, like the leaders of Pakistan, he has little or no power to make much of a difference.

In Israel, Condoleezza Rice conceded Thursday that an Arab-Israeli peace deal, which George W. Bush had promised by year-end, is unlikely. The pledge goes the way of Bush’s earlier commitment to establish a Palestinian state by 2005.
-Maybe President Bush read the koran and realizes that war is deceit.

In the Gaza Strip, a five-month truce was shattered with an Israeli incursion, Palestinian rockets in response and an Israeli air attack.
-Lol, blame Israel, are you kidding me? The only thing they are guilty of is incompetence – they should have carpet-bombed Gaza years ago.

The truce had done little to improve the humanitarian crisis for the Gazans, strangled under the Israeli as well as an international, including Canadian, blockade.
-No mention of the lack of support from the larger muslim nations. If rich arabs do not care about gaza why should I?

Their plight was highlighted by a boatload of peace activists, including Nobel laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire, who landed in Gaza from Cyprus. It was the second such voyage in three months to urge the world “to open a lifeline to the people of Gaza.”

Syria is still seething over an Oct. 26 cross-border American commando raid from Iraq, in which nine people were killed.
-Nice job guys.

President Bashar Assad is as impotent as Karzai or Pakistani President Asif Zardari against unilateral American actions that show no regard for the sovereignty of nations and the rule of international law – or even for the domestic political needs of allies.

One can argue over the rationale for each of these attacks – Al Qaeda sanctuaries in Pakistan, bad intelligence about Taliban hideouts in Afghanistan, or alleged trafficking of terrorists from Syria to Iraq – but there’s no escaping the conclusion that there’s no overarching strategy. Or if there is, it is not working.
-BS it is not working – they wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop it if it was not working.

We are told that the U.S. and its allies are not engaged in a clash of civilizations. But, given the above list, they are widely seen to be.
-Finally, something we can agree on but it is not a clash of civilizations-it is a clash of centuries.

Pope Benedict – who foolishly fuelled just such a perception with his ill-informed comments about Islam two years ago – has grasped the seriousness of the Muslim-Christian divide. He has just hosted a high-ranking Muslim delegation at the Vatican to open a dialogue.

There are some other positive signs, albeit too few.
-Yeah like the global shortage of jihadi recruits, muslim communities have seen way to many young boys leave and not return.

The Syrian-Israeli peace talks, conducted through Turkey, are still said to be on track. Tony Blair, the international envoy for the Middle East, is still at it.
-Yeah, we all know how successful Tony Blair can be.

Pakistani and Afghan leaders are searching, with Saudi help, for ways to open a dialogue with non-hardcore Taliban elements.
-ROFLMAO, non-hardcore Taliban elements??? Do you mean the dead ones?

Obama has no option but to see the big picture of U.S.-Muslim relations. Otherwise, he may end up as ineffective as his predecessors.
-President elect Obama may prove ineffective in the fight to crush an outdated blood cult but he is in good company. Most western leaders are ineffective because they refuse to follow the evidence.
