After escaping from an arrest warrant granted by a London court for being accused of committing war crimes, Tzipi Livni, the Israeli former Foreign Minister, held a press conference to declare that she is "proud" of all her decisions in the Israeli war against Palestinians during Christmas last year!
It's important to record that the Israeli war was condemned by several states and international organizations. Nothing was out of the attack; hospitals, infrastructure, roads, water stations, schools, mosques and UN centers were all attacked under the claim that leaders of Palestinian resistance exist there! The result was killing 1330 victims including; 418 child killed, 108 woman killed, 88 elderly killed and 14 of medical crews killed, plus 5450 wounded with a percent of 50% children and women, and 90% of the wounds are caused by the internationally banned White Phosphorus. The reasonable description for what happened in 22 days is "Genocide".
The encouraging act of the British court that resurrected a glimmer of hope in achieving international justice is threatened now by the shameful declarations of UK's Prime Minister G. Brown of welcoming Livni in England, and the declarations of British Ministers of looking urgently at reforming the law to avoid future warrant against Israeli officials!
It's a serious threat against human rights and international justice. When policy interferes the work of justice, then all war criminals will escape the just penalty.
British government is put now in an embarrassing situation. It's required to choose one of two choices; the political relations with a government accused of committing war crimes, or chasing war criminals giving them the penalty they deserve. Which will win; Policy or Justice?

Thanks for your kind words.
My best wishes for you.
Snake Hunters,
Really? Did they "fight" "as Muslims"? What were the weapons used? How many tank? What is the number of the victims?
That's a heart touching that the brothers fight against each other.
Northern states fought against Southern states, it's so bad.
White men were murdering black men, so racial.
New comers were annihilating the old residents, so barbaric.
Where?
Yes, you guessed it.. In America.
Snake Hunters,

Happy new Year!
Mohamed - Read my Post, dated Jan 12th.

"Is a Nice Muslim a Good Muslim?" -
In the Comment Section there's a question for my old friend; perhaps you can provide an answer.
Say anything that pleases you.

Snake Hunters,
If there is any question you can freely ask me.
Ah, about your invitations to read your posts. I wish I have the time for that, but I'm afraid it will be just a wasting for my precious time to read your re-published posts that are mainly lies about Islam.
I tried over months to correct your corrupted preconceived ideas about Islam, but all my efforts were in vain. You aren't ready to listen to me, you consider me performing something that I don't believe in as a Sunni Muslim, "taqiyya". You always think that I'm deceiving you.
Tell me then, how you'd listen to me when I'm a "clever deceiver" for you? If I told you that I believe that 9-11 attacks were brutal, will you believe me that it's what I really believe in? If I told you that Islamic rules tell me to deal kindly and justly with non-Muslims (including yourself) not to "kill them", will you believe me?
reb,
It's your problem. You cannot trust me. I cannot discuss with someone who doesn't trust my words.
Mohamed - I'll reproduce your exact words on Snake Hunters; if you are a "secretive kafir" then I certainly understand your hesitation. It's an unfriendly, often violent world out there.
Be at Peace. Your friend,
reb

MOHAMED - I have read and re-read
my January 18th Post about Muslim Thinking, & the Variety Contained Therein; it is quite complex.
Here's what you should understand about the USA...
There are five basic (political) philosophies that are current:
Old Democrat & Republican, Conservative, Progressive, and 'Independent' Thinkers.
Recently, the "Progressives" have pushed aside the "old democrats", hoping to fundamentally "change" our proven system of governance into a Socialist System, where (a) Politicians Control Manufacturing of Products (see General Motors as one example) and (b) Nationalizing - Medical Care & the Pharmaceutical Industry - (one-sixth of the economy!).
It's a scheme that threatens to "Change" our Great Republic into something that we didn't fully understand when a majority elected Barach Obama; It's a Socialistic-Power-Grab!
Recent Elections in Virginia, New Jersy & Yesterday in Massachusetts
are strong indications that the majority now understand this threat, and strongly opposes it!

It has always been my hope that my friend Mohamed was an Independent Muslim (if that's even posssible.)
Perhaps not.
I had hoped that you were not, like many others, in the totalitanrian Straight Jacket & Restrictive Chains of an 'Absolutist Ancient Doctrine'.
I Am Very Independent; I'm still not totally certain about You... therefore, I cannot, I will not, render a final judgement.
I was quite amused, when you recently called me a Liar...when you know so little about me!
Keep Searching for the Truth. -
