“A suspected terrorist set off a grenade, killing himself and an officer and heavily injuring two policemen in the Tajik northern city of Isfar, a source at the Tajik Interior Ministry told Itar-Tass on Friday.” (from ITAR-ITASS news agency)

Also- “Republic law enforcement agencies are concerned about the growing activity of religious extremists and terrorists in the northern areas,” Tajik Interior Minister Khumdin Sharipov told a press conference. He said over 40 members of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir Party and more than 20 members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan have been arrested in the country’s north since the beginning of this year. The minister accused them of two explosions in the center of Dushanbe last year and an armed attack on a Tajik border post this June.”

It is about that time of year. I wonder (I do not know for sure) if the growing activity in connected to what is going on in Lebanon and the recent visit of Mahmud Ahmadinejad? I don’t think there is a conspiracy, but the current violence in the Middle East could be angering the IMU and giving them an excuse to cause trouble.

It is interesting to note that the grenade attack occured on the same day that Abdullo Uldoshev, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan was in India attending a meeting with the Indian delegation about ways to counter terrorism.

I really don’t think this has anything to do with peacefully giving the Iranian people nuclear power for peaceful purposes. The leadership of Iran want war. They want to destroy Israel. Ahmadinejad has openly said this. Since his election, he has met with Hezbollah leaders, sponsored a Holocaust deniers conference, and now is openly defying the UN. He has a close friendship with Castro’s friend, the anti-Western Hugo Chavez. I hope the media and the world will stop being naive and take the Iranian leadership seriously. What is next? An Iranian attack on neighbors like Hitler’s invasion of Poland? Is that what it will take for the media and other leftists to understand the threat Iran is?

My favorite quotes,”“Peacekeepers” keep no peace, but always side with the less Western of the belligerents.”
“Innocent” often refers to Lebanese who aid the stockpiling of rockets or live next to those who do. It rarely refers to Israelis under attack”.

The post I read showed how the media is using a picture of a poor dead girl as propaganda. The pictures were staged. I would not suggest any mother to look at the pictures. I am still a bit shaken.

I quote, “These photographers are obviously willing to participate in propaganda,” Limbaugh is cited as saying. “They know exactly what’s being done, all these photos, bringing the bodies out of the rubble, posing them for the cameras, it’s all staged. Every bit of it is staged and the still photographers know it.”

The sad thing is that I did not care if the girl was Lebonese or Israeli. I thought only of my own daughter who is of a similar age. Why would Hezbollah put their children at risk just to make Israel look bad?

When 9/11 happened, I remembered how at first fear gripped the nation. The first thought for many parents was their children’s safety. I was a teacher at the time. I watched many parents pick up their children from school because they did not feel like their children were safe. I only thought how I could protect my students. By the way, I lived a 12 hours drive from New York City at the time.

I also refused to travel to Central Asia with my two children after a massacre in Uzbekistan. I did not want to risk my children’s lives. During a storm, I keep them from the windows. As a child, I remember there was a police chase through my backyard. Yes, the criminal and the police were armed. My little brother was playing in front of the window. When I saw the chase, I quickly jumped on top of my baby brother to protect him until the chase moved on to the neighbor’s yard.

It is a natural instinct to protect our children. So, why would Hezbollah use children as propaganda? Why would anyone support such a sick group? You don’t see too many pictures of dead Israeli children being propped up for photos? Why? Because that goes against the laws of nature. Even in their deaths, children should be protected. Yet Hamas, PLO, and Hezbollah continually use the dead bodies of the innocent in their sick guerrilla war games.

I do not see the pictures of the dead Lebonese girl and think, “how terrible the Israelis!!” I think instead of how sick the reporters are for using the innocent as a weapon of propaganda. I feel so sorry for the mother of this child and wish Hezbollah and Lebanon worked harder to protect her and her baby girl. (What is ironic is that it is ISRAEL warning the people to flee and trying to protect the innocent Lebonese) Instead of shooting missiles from apartment buildings full of sleeping children, they should have hidden the women and children in a bunker or at least evacuated them. That is what the British did during World War II. That is what Israel is doing now.

The media should express sympathy for the family, but attack Hezbollah for not protecting the innocent. (Isn’t that what Muslims are supposed to do anyways?) They should never be described as a “humanitarian organization” again! The photographers who used this child should be ashamed.

Yes, I know that even when a people try their hardest to protect children, they do not always succeed and the innocent die in war. However, those sweet children should not have their dead bodies used in the most horrible way as propaganda.

Click here to read an article on how Israelis are coping with the war with Lebanon.

Howard’s car was damaged by demonstrators as he left a meeting. Around 200 protesters waving Lebanese and Palestinian flags and shouting ‘we want peace’ punched, kicked and threw projectiles at the vehicle as police struggled to keep order.

Police wrestled protesters to the ground and there was at least one arrest.”

The article states that hezbollah is legal in Australia but the military wing is not. Is the political faction any better? Assaulting the Prime Minister because you disagree with his views is pretty violent and militant to me. It just shows that these people do not deserve respect.

I wonder what would happen if Hezbollah and pro-Arab activists attacked the US president’s car? Would they still be alive? Oh, wait, yes they would be. They probably would have the ACLU protect their First Amendment Rights. Their victimhood as being an oppressed people would be given primary focus in the media. An example is the statement from the protester in Australia, “There are mothers watching their children die,’ el-Khatib told Australia’s AAP news agency. ‘Hezbollah is protecting Lebanon, they are freedom fighters not terrorists.’

Jewish mothers watch their sons die too. When will they receive some sympathy? Aren’t they victims too? I don’t think any pro-Israeli protesters attack president’s cars either. If anti-Israeli activists want to protest that is their right. If they want any respect, then they can learn to protest without violence and using women and children as pawns.

I don’t understand how the media would condemn a white neo-Nazi’s anti-Semitic remarks and propaganda, but say nothing when a brown skinned Muslim shouts out the same remarks.

Like this one from Egypt, “ “The Zionist-American plan aims as dismantling resistance and redrawing the map under the banner of a new Middle East where the supreme hegemony is for Israeli entity only,” Mohammed Habib, deputy leader of Egypt’s main opposition Muslim Brotherhood, told The Associated Press. “All sects (of Islam) are in need for unity to deter the enemy.”

I don’t believe that is the case. Israel just wants peace. The only way to achieve this is to rid the world of Islamic Nazis. Hezbollah is not for peace. They are for the destruction of a nation and people. That is the only way there will be peace in the Middle East. Terrorism must be defeated. Zionists do not seek to control the earth, they just want their homeland back.

Why does the Arabian media brainwash the Muslim world to be anti-American and anti-Semitic? I was in Malaysia in 1998 after Clinton bombed Iraq. I was nervous to be in the Muslim nation at that time. The headlines were “Clinton killed Muslim Children”. No one cared about Saddam Hussein or what his government stood for. They only saw America send bombs to Muslims. They saw it as an attack on their religion.

I knew it would only be a short time until the Muslim world would unite against Israel on silly charges and ideas. If they would support Israel, their Muslim lives would be free from totalitarianism and terror.
