We urge all decent people to lobby their governments to take action against the terrorists who murdered 11 civilians and injured 30 in Gaza.

“We have been showing restraint due to the international storm caused by the incident on the Gaza beach — but no longer,” Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz was quoted by the YNet news website as telling reporters in northern Israel.”

These are the outrageous comments coming from a cold hearted, murdering extremist who is being allowed to slaughter innocent people while the world sits back pretending to be deaf and dumb. Why has there not been an international uproar against this barbaric act?

So the "Israeli investigation" has concluded in four days that it was not responsible for the massacre? I'm just wondering how long it took for James Miller or Tom Hurndall's investigation. A week or maybe two? Actually no it has taken years, with a teeny weeny bit of pressure from the UK government. Let me just highlight a few things in these investigations, incidently, in both of these brutal murders the Israeli's denied any wrong doing.

Not even a week had passed and the Metropolitan Police  issued an ‘apology’ to the public - specifically to the residents of East London, for the ‘disruption and inconvenience’ caused to the community from the terror raid last Friday. Our country’s so-called ‘Intelligence’ observed the house that they raided for 2 months prior to the arrests based on ‘specific evidence’.

Her screams are still ringing in my ears, more than 9 hours after I first saw the footage of the Palestinian girl crying for her father. They had been picnicking on the beach. What other activity could be more peaceful than parents taking their children on a picnic at the beach? Out of nowhere, the shells hit the children making sand castles and enjoying the day with their family. Within minutes, the joyous outing had turned into a fatal one, with blood covering the sand and the bodies spread out across the targeted area.

As  Iraq allies hail Zarqawi killing Many of the “collateral” killings get no mention or get reported in a matter-of-fact way and brushed under the carpet as if they are insignificant. 

“Five other people were killed in the raid, including spiritual adviser Sheikh Abd-al-Rahman and an unidentified woman and child"

Jamal al-Din al-Afghani was born in Asadabad, Iran, in 1838; he died in Istanbul, Turkey, on March 9, 1897. A philosopher and politician, he promoted the concept of unity of all Muslims against British rule in particular and against global western interests in general. His call for Muslim solidarity influenced Egypt's nationalist movement, Turkey's Tanzimat reforms, as well as Iran's constitutional and Islamic revolutions. 

There have been some alarming events these past few days. Our disbelief is compounded by the response of those in positions of responsibility. The following article about how Blair’s terror laws let police off the leash is a useful insight into how a community is being persecuted. What is shocking is the way that Mr Blair defends the police terror raid 

An active Brother from Preston has setup a group of Muslim volunteers to do hospital visits. This is an initiative he has taken up as a civic action to relieve the loneliness and suffering of people that have no one else. His email is shown below.

Professor Rachel Giora of the University of Tel Aviv backs the British boycott on those Israeli institutions that support and comply with Israels opressive policy in Palestine. This brave female intellectual shows the moral fortitude that many of our leaders do not have. It is also worth noting that Prime Minister Blair and his government wasted no time and have already condemened the boycott.

My usual Saturday starts with a strong coffee, a long bath and then the usual trawl of the Saturday papers. I'm usually amazed by the mundane nature of what is considered to be news and then there is the usual Islamophobic comment and reporting that we are all used to.

This Saturday (27/05/06) was a little different though. The front page of the Times, yes lead story no less, with a story entitled The Marines and a 'massacre' in Iraq. Amazing that 3 years into what will be remembered as one of the defining debacles of this decade we get a report about the massacre of an Iraqi extended family by American soldiers. There are a few things that amazed me about this story.
