"They have no regard for human life," he said. "Neither ours nor their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation but an act of asymmetric warfare against us."

In one week, a country regarded by most Muslims as a symbol of freedom and respect of the right to be different has become the very symbol of hatred, discrimination and bigotry. The Danish paper that published cartoons of Propher Mohammed (peace be upon him) offended, not a few, but all Muslims, moderates and hardliners alike. This crime could have been forgotten by now had the Danish government taken the only acceptable and logical action of stating the obvious: that freedom of expression does not mean freedom to insult others. However, we have seen the Danish Prime Minisiter  insisting on  allowing this attack on all Muslims under the gise of freedom of expression. Muslims cannot be expected to keep quiet when their religion is under assault by bigots. Muslims also hope that these insults are coming from a minority and are not supported by most Europeans. In the meantime, they must to pursue every peaceful method of protesting these insults.

At first glance, here is how the headline appeared to me:

Was it my sub-consience playing tricks on me? It could very well be because the US under Bush is acting like the bully that must get its way and control the world's energy resources. The headline is in reference to the State on the Union speech given tonight by President Bush. In that speech, Bush says "the only alternative to American leadership is a dramatically more dangerous and anxious world."  Well in such a binary system, there is no room for a world where there is respect of international law and the sovergnity of nations. So the world in doomed anyway: either to submit to US dominance or become "more dangerous and anxious."

One of the biggest news outlets in the Middle East and the premier promoter of hatered and conflict in the region, Al-Jazeera, is busy as usual in its dirty business. However, this time without a shred of shame as it twists the news to ensure peace in the region never has a chance.

The title of this news article says "The West Calls on Hamas to Forgo Resistance and Recognize Israel." All the news I have read from all Western sources say that they call on Hamas to renounce terrorism and recognize Israel. There is a HUGE difference between resistance and terrorism. It may very well be that the West wish Hamas would give up resistance, but a self-respecting news outlet shall honor professional ethics and report news accurately without such a vicious twist. I hope Hamas would be at the level of the historic responsibility that landed on its lap (thanks in part to the occupation; as such a thing never happened in "liberated" lands) and do the only logical  thing: ban terror among its ranks and recognize the reality that Israel is there to stay. That way, at least if there is terror, let it be from one side only.
