BO Endorses Taliban Embassy in Qatar?

~ The Rebel ~ 2011/12/20 08:27:10

The Australian:

Washington has endorsed plans for the Islamist network to open political headquarters in the gulf state of Qatar by the end of the year. The move has been devised so the West can begin formal peace talks with the Taliban.

As a potent reminder of the potential value of a truce with the Taliban, attacks by the Islamist network in Afghanistan yesterday left two dead and 101 wounded in a truck bomb, marking one of the bloodiest days for American forces since the US invasion 10 years ago.

The office of the self-styled Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would be the first internationally recognised representation for the Taliban since its fall in 2001.

The White House declined to comment on the development last night as Mr Obama addressed the nation on the anniversary of the al-Qa’ida attacks. In the decade since, there has been a shift in Washington’s attitudes towards the Taliban and a growing official distinction between the Pashtun nationalists and their former allies in al-Qa’ida.

Western diplomats said it was hoped the opening of the Taliban office would help to advance talks intended to reconcile insurgents with the Afghan government and bring an end to the decade-long US-led war.

    Why did people start coming to the North American continent?
    good question as ALWAYS!!!
    it was land of opportunity , but not anymore
    they came same like others who came 200 years ago seeking gold , and power ... look at them now . they are in congress!! and in aipac ???

    as far as muslims and arabs are concerned , they came fleeing persecution , running away from tyrany of ruthless corrupted leaders, . to be honest they find good people in usa citizen but mislead and brainwashed systematicly by media and education , these immigrants muslims are lovely people , they contributed a lot to the society same like any others . they are law obedient citizens and very dscipilne and loyal and pay taxes and create jobs .

    as soon as the islamic countries unify themselves into one , there will be a great opportunities for jobs in their countries and crossing without visa or border between them , there will be just ruleres , transparency and balance law and faireness , then byebye usa no need for peaceful skilled muslims to be in usa

    concerning applying sharia in usa in american soil !!!, trust it is really a myth idea and fear being fabricated to achieve certain agenda no more no less . impossible to be implemented in the west .

    so we will see in few years to come the opposite immigration , muslims leaving usa with big smile in their face heading to their countries .
    do not worry you will be left alone soon .
    take care

    Pakistan: Taliban cut breasts off woman breast-feeding child

    …and asked other women to eat the pieces! via Pak report details horrific abuse of women.

    ISLAMABAD, 15 DEC: Pakistani Taliban fighters cut the breasts of a woman who was breast-feeding her child and asked other women to eat the pieces, in a gory incident highlighted in a new report that details the abuse of women in the militancy-hit tribal belt bordering Afghanistan. The incident occurred when five militants walked into a house and saw the woman breast-feeding her child, The Express Tribune quoted the report titled ‘Impact of crisis on women and girls in Fata (federally Administered Tribal Areas)’ as saying.

    The report, released by the human rights organisation “Khwendo Kor” (Sisters’ Home, in Pashto) with financial support from the UN, is based on case studies of women from the tribal belt living in camps set up in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (earlier North West Frontier province of NFWP) for people displaced by militancy and military operations.

    ISLAMABAD, 15 DEC: Pakistani Taliban fighters cut the breasts of a woman who was breast-feeding her child and asked other women to eat the pieces, in a gory incident highlighted in a new report that details the abuse of women in the militancy-hit tribal belt bordering Afghanistan. The incident occurred when five militants walked into a house and saw the woman breast-feeding her child, The Express Tribune quoted the report titled ‘Impact of crisis on women and girls in Fata (federally Administered Tribal Areas)’ as saying.

    The report, released by the human rights organisation “Khwendo Kor” (Sisters’ Home, in Pashto) with financial support from the UN, is based on case studies of women from the tribal belt living in camps set up in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (earlier North West Frontier province of NFWP) for people displaced by militancy and military operations.

    Women in the FATA are more susceptible to violence and abuse in a post-conflict scenario, whether or not they are part of the conflict, the report asserts. Another finding is that women in relief camps were forced to have sex for food and non-food items. Girls and widows were at greater risk of such abuse, it said. The report said there was an increase in “honour killings” in which women who were raped were murdered because rape was considered a disgrace to the family. Forced marriages, honour killings, exchange of women between tribes and marriages with first cousins resulting in disabilities among offspring have made women in the tribal areas increasingly dependent.

    Mr Akhunzada Chattan, a parliamentarian from Bajaur tribal region, said certain rituals have deprived women of their rights. “In Bajaur… usury is not something against which the cleric will stand up, but if a woman demands her share of property she is stigmatised as culturally blasphemous,” he said. Changes to the controversial Frontier Crimes Regulation have not significantly helped in improving the situation. Maryam Bibi, the woman behind the report, said the findings are based on ground realities. “Although it is hard to digest the facts, this is what the women have to go through,” she said.

    I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing. The biggest problem is figuring out who to talk to. Who really has the power to negotiate for the Taliban, and what happens with the Pashtuns? Some sort of formal communication could be a start, but the proof will be in the pudding.

    So what? Hmmmm. I guess so you don't have courage, morals, or a willingness to fight for innocent human beings.

    Islam is not a religion. It is much more. Government, restriction, way of life full of hate, bigotry, and lack of tolerance to all others.

    Christians are the most brutalized and attacked group of people on the planet today.

    yeah , muslims learn their lesson , they are no longer willing to demonstrate or shout in the streets like they used to do before , they knew this is fruitlless and will be used against them , taking their pictures and making a meal out of it AAAHHH,in the media with some infiltrators as well breaking and smashing cars rioting so that you portray them as even bad !!!

    how about boycotting butter of danemark for example ?
    or american product ? or diamond from hollad ?? or stopping some raw materials to your country ? or stoping Gaz and electricity to isreal ?

    you see we knew a long long time that money and sanctions is the cure for insulting other people religion but we did not use it due to tyrant rulers , now some of them have gone and the rest are going too soon and revolution is here, pepole will hit pockets and economy of those who insult their religion rather than screamimg !!!
    so no fight , no trouble, nothing will happen , concerning these sites.... just carry the business as ussual , stirring hate and demonstrating it in practice pooring more fuel on fire , and soon you will end up bankrupt and total moral collapse and lack of intergety .muslims are watching and history is recording.

    the rest '''''''Islam is not a religion. It is much more.......blablabla.....
    is just repetiton of what we have been hearing for the past 120 years ago or so !!

    So true. If you have ever studied personalities there is a quadrant of people called the unconscious incompetent that may also describe their belief structure. Somehow they think killing and ridding the world of people that don't think like them will get them to their god. It is like believing robbing liquor stores will get you closer to sobriety.

    We live in a world in which Bosnian Serbs, the survivors of four centuries of Turkish genocidal policies, Austro-Hungarian oppression, and the above described holocaust by Croat and Muslim Nazis, were persistently labelled as Nazis in American media. The same media told you that history of Bosnia is too complicated and then, counting on your ignorance called Bosnian Muslims "tolerant" and "democratically oriented."

    Also ordered by Hitler to put a "river of blood" between the Serbian and Croatian nations, Pavelic did so by carrying out the slaughter of some 300,000 Serbs living in Croatia [already by 1992, when this book was published] and the destruction of scores of their communities.

    CROATIA (Nazavisna Drzava Hrvatska or Independent State of Croatia, NDH) ... established during WWII, that was in existence from April 1941 to May 1945. Its area... CONSISTED OF WHAT ARE TODAY THE FEDERATIVE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA AND THE FEDERATIVE REPUBLIC OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA... Its capital was Zagreb. It had population of 6.3 million, of whom 3.3 million were Catholic Croats, 1.9 million Serbs, 700,000 Muslim..., 40,000 Jews, 30,000 Gypsies...

    ... Shortly after taking control, the Ustasha [Croat Nazis], WITH THE SUPPORT OF MANY CROATS, EMBARKED UPON WHAT IT CALLED "THE PURGE OF CROATIA FROM FOREIGN ELEMENTS," which had as its main purpose THE ELIMINATION OF THE SERB MINORITY.

    During our journey toward the hill of Javor, near Srebrenica and Ozren, all the Serbian villages which we came across were wholly massacred. In the villages between Vlasenica and Kladanj we discovered children who had been impaled upon stakes, their small limbs still distorted by pain, resembling insects stuck through by pins.

    Hitler, The Mufti Of Jerusalem & Modern Islamo Nazism Part III

    Germany stood for uncompromising war against the Jews. That naturally included active opposition to the Jewish national home in Palestine....Germany would furnish positive and practical aid to the Arabs involved in the same struggle....Germany's objective [is]...solely the destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere....In that hour the Mufti would be the most authoritative spokesman for the Arab world. The Mufti thanked Hitler profusely.2

    In 1945, Yugoslavia sought to indict the Mufti as a war criminal for his role in recruiting 20,000 Muslim volunteers for the SS, who participated in the killing of Jews in Croatia and Hungary. He escaped from French detention in 1946, however, and continued his fight against the Jews from Cairo and later Beirut. He died in 1974.
