Bush said on Thursday his patience with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had run out long ago. "Syria needs to stay out of Lebanon," Bush told a White House news conference when asked whether he would be willing talk to Assad about stabilizing Lebanon, which is caught up in a political crisis. The Bush administration has tried to isolate Damascus diplomatically, though Syria sent representatives to a U.S.-hosted Israeli-Palestinian peace conference last month in Annapolis, Maryland. "My patience ran out on President Assad a long time ago," Bush said. "The reason why is because he houses Hamas, he facilitates Hezbollah, suiciders go from his country into Iraq and he destabilizes Lebanon," Bush said. Syria has denied U.S. allegations that it is interfering in neighboring Lebanon and trying to undermine its Western-backed government. Damascus withdrew its forces from Lebanon in 2005 after a 29-year military presence. Syria's foreign minister insisted earlier on Thursday that Damascus is trying to help resolve Lebanon's presidential crisis. Lebanon's presidency has been vacant since November 23 when the term of pro-Syrian Emile Lahoud ended. France has been leading efforts to mediate a settlement between the Western-backed governing coalition and the opposition, led by groups with close ties to Damascus. ---- http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN2018320420071220?sp=true http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4ec_1198173479 Sheik Yerbouti Bush: Patience with Syria's Assad ran out long ago Bush, Syria, War on Terror, Lebanon, Hezbollah Wed, 19 Dec 2007 10:16:01 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=144_1198077361 Sheik Yerbouti Newly elected Liberal Democrat party leader makes a few comments about the proposed ID scheme. ---- Nick Clegg MP has vowed to face court proceedings rather than register for an ID card if the government presses ahead with plans to make them compulsory.

Glasgow, Terror Tue, 18 Dec 2007 13:15:22 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fb6_1198001722 Sheik Yerbouti Date: 18th December 2007 Source: http://tinyurl.com/yt2lox Author: Amnesty International ---- The global campaign against the death penalty secured a landmark victory on Tuesday when the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the call for a worldwide moratorium (suspension) on executions. In a landslide result, 104 UN member states voted in favour of the ground-breaking resolution. 54 countries voted against, while there were 25 abstentions. Amnesty International welcomes this timely resolution, passed at the UN headquarters in New York City, as a clear recognition of the international trend towards worldwide abolition of the death penalty. A total of 133 countries, from all regions of the world, have abolished the death penalty in law or practice and only 25 countries carried out executions in 2006. 91% of all known executions took place in six countries: China, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan and the USA. Recorded executions worldwide fell by more than 25% in 2006, with a drop from at least 2,148 in 2005 to at least 1,591. Although not legally binding, the UN moratorium on executions carries considerable moral and political weight. The resolution is a reminder of member states' commitment to work towards abolition of the death penalty. It is also an important tool to encourage retentionist countries to review their use of the death penalty. Amnesty International calls on countries which still use the death penalty to establish an immediate moratorium on executions as a first step towards abolishing capital punishment. The UN Secretary-General will report to the General Assembly in October 2008 on states' implementation of the resolution. "This landmark resolution is a major step towards ending this cruel and inhuman punishment and an important contribution to protecting human rights," said Yvonne Terlingen, Amnesty International's Head of Office at the UN. "The death penalty is inherently arbitrary and innocent people are executed". ---- * "United States taking the unusual step of siding with countries such as Iran and Syria in opposition to the resolution" ~http://tinyurl.com/2eve6a * "91% of all known executions took place in six countries: China, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan and the USA" Nice crowd... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fb6_1198001722 Sheik Yerbouti UN General Assembly adopts death penalty ban UN, Death Penalty Tue, 18 Dec 2007 11:26:02 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a4e_1197995162 Sheik Yerbouti Date: 18th December 2007 Source: http://tinyurl.com/yvxyue Author: Alastair Lawson (BBC) ---- A Muslim Bangladeshi student is to be honoured by the mayor of New York on Wednesday for helping three Jewish people who were being beaten up. Hassan Askari has been described as a "latter-day Good Samaritan" for coming to the aid of the three, who were attacked earlier this month. A gang yelling anti-Semitic slogans had assaulted them on the city's subway. His intervention left him with a possible broken nose, a stitched lip, bruises and two black eyes. But it was sufficient for the attackers to turn their attention on him and allow one of those who was being attacked to raise the alarm and call the police. "I was brought up to believe that you cannot walk away from an incident like this," he told the BBC. "I felt I could not just stand there and watch these people being beaten up without doing anything to help. "I believe we are all members of one family, and my religion teaches me always to come to the aid of my fellow man in distress." The slightly-built accountancy student - who comes from an aristocratic Bengali family - was travelling from home on 9 December when he saw the attack take place on a crowded train. Mr Askari has three forefathers who were knighted by British monarchs during the days of the Raj and is a member of the Dhaka Nawab family, an important political dynasty in the Indian subcontinent. Around 10 people were attacking the three Jews after an argument had broken out. "As the quarrel turned progressively more violent, scores of people on the train ignored the fight and didn't want to have anything to do with it," said Marc Scheier, a rabbi from the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, who presented Mr Askari with a bravery award earlier this month. "Mr Askari - like the Good Samaritan - was the only person brave enough to intervene. "The symbolism of his action at Christmas time is striking - a foreign Muslim coming to the aid of three Jews in an act of kindness and cooperation. "People often forget that Judaism and Islam aren't so far apart as the radicals from both sides would have us believe. We are both Abrahamic religions and in many respects share a common faith." Mr Askari said that he was "overwhelmed" by the publicity his actions have generated, and "embarrassed" that the American press have labelled him a "hero of the city". "I have friends who are Jews, Christians and Buddhists and would have acted in the same way if they were victims of an unprovoked attack," he said. Rabbi Scheier said that he could tell from injuries sustained by one of the three victims that it was a "brutal and extremely violent" attack which would have required "immense courage" from Mr Askari to get involved in. "He is such a humble and modest man blessed with the most extraordinary bravery," he said. Ten people have been arrested in connection with the attack and three of them have appeared in court charged with assault and disorderly conduct. Mr Askari is due to be presented with a medal on Wednesday that will be handed to him either by or on behalf of the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg. The student - whose mother, father and younger brother live in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka - says that his long term aim is to return to his beloved home country where he grew up as a child. "Home is where the heart is and at least there is no subway there," he said. ---- I was thinking about disabling comments for this one but I'll see what the morons have to say. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a4e_1197995162 Sheik Yerbouti NYC hails Muslim 'Good Samaritan' New York, Fight, Attack, Samaritan, Jew, Muslim, Hassan Askari Thu, 13 Dec 2007 06:25:57 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f15_1197545157 Sheik Yerbouti Author: Martin Hodgson Date: Thursday December 13, 2007 Source: The Guardian, http://tinyurl.com/2avluf ---- A rightwing thinktank which claimed to have uncovered extremist literature on sale at dozens of British mosques was last night accused of basing a report on fabricated evidence. The report by Policy Exchange alleged that books condoning violent jihad and encouraging hatred of Christians, Jews and gays were being sold in a quarter of the 100 mosques visited. But BBC2's Newsnight said examination of receipts provided by the researchers to verify their purchases showed some had been written by the same person - even though they purported to come from different mosques. Several receipts also misspelled the names or addresses of the mosques where the books were supposedly sold. The report, the Hijacking of British Islam, was based on the work of four teams of two researchers each who visited 100 mosques. They claimed to have found the controversial material in bookshops attached to 25 mosques, including one at Regent's Park, London, and others in Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Oxford and High Wycombe. Published on the eve of a state visit by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, the report prompted front page news stories. Tory leader David Cameron pledged to raise the revelations with King Abdullah, because much of the literature was said to have been sourced from Saudi Arabia. According to the report, one book, which said that there can be "no brotherhood" between Muslims and non-Muslims, was bought at the Leyton mosque in east London. But the address on a receipt provided by the researchers was found to be that of an unrelated bookshop next door. A spokesman for the mosque, Dr Usama Hasan, said: "It has nothing to do with us. It is totally inaccurate and misleading information. It is completely false. In fact, we are considering taking legal action over this because it has the potential to damage the good name of our mosque." Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: "Policy Exchange produced a report that was given a lot of publicity, and Newsnight deserve credit for exposing the incredibly shoddy and dubious methodology that Policy Exchange have resorted to. It would seem that Policy Exchange had already decided what they wanted to say about mosques and just went out to find or should I say invent the evidence to justify their prejudices." Policy Exchange's research director, Dean Godson, insisted it stood by the report "100%". He said the thinktank had checked its evidence thoroughly and the allegations did not challenge the substance of the study - that such extremist literature was being widely sold. "We are standing by our report and the Muslim researchers that helped compile it," he added. The researchers were unavailable for comment because they were all on a religious retreat in Mauritania, Policy Exchange told Newsnight. ---- I watched this report last night and good ol' Paxman and the writer of the report had a rather heated exchange. I will upload if I can find it anywhere. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f15_1197545157 Sheik Yerbouti Evidence of extremism in mosques 'fabricated' Islam, Extremism, Fundamentalism, Sharia, Britain, Muslim, Muslims, Mosques, Hate, Newsnight Thu, 06 Dec 2007 09:40:55 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=180_1196952055 Sheik Yerbouti Date:Thu Dec 6, 2007 Source:http://tinyurl.com/2r53oo Author: Dan Williams (Reuters) ---- An Israeli cabinet minister has cancelled a trip to Britain out of concern he could be arrested at the behest of pro-Palestinian groups seeking to press war crime charges, an aide said on Thursday. Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter, a former head of the Shin Bet domestic intelligence service, was to have taken part in a British conference on Middle East peacemaking but backed out on the advice of Israel's Foreign Ministry, the aide said. Dichter was among the planners of the 2002 assassination of Hamas commander Saleh Shehada in an Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip. The operation also killed 14 Palestinians civilians. Doron Almog, an Israeli ex-general who was involved in the Shehada assassination, narrowly avoided arrest in London in 2005. He returned to Israel after being warned a British magistrate, finding in favour of a motion filed by a Palestinian lobby, had ordered him detained on suspicion of war crimes. Dichter's aide, who declined to be named, said the minister was avoiding Britain for fear he could be similarly targeted. A private war crimes lawsuit filed against Dichter in the United States in 2005 was thrown out by a federal judge who said the defendant could not be prosecuted for the Shehada assassination because he was a government official at the time. Israel has come under international censure for its handling of a Palestinian revolt that erupted in 2000. Israel says its methods are an appropriate response to militants who operate in crowded Palestinian areas and use tactics like suicide bombings. After Almog's near-arrest, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni asked British judicial authorities to review laws allowing magistrates to issue such arrest warrants. Livni repeated the request during a visit by her British counterpart, David Miliband, last month, Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported. ---- *Dichter is on the right of the attached picture. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=180_1196952055 Sheik Yerbouti Israeli security minister shuns UK Avi Dichter, Palestine, War Crimes, Israel, Britain, Hamas, Sat, 01 Dec 2007 10:29:17 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=456_1196522957 Sheik Yerbouti I thought I'd upload this as I've seen numerous users on this site complain this scenario is simply a Muslim problem.
