http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/john-prescott-links-tony-bl-airs-invasion-of-iraq-with-radicalisation-of-young-muslims-10108322.html John Prescott links Tony Blair's Iraq invasion with radicalisation of young Muslims Former deputy PM believes the 2003 invasion of Iraq was 'wrong' How strange and sad that the politicians (and others) now crawling out of the wood work to criticise Blair and the other warmongers for their illegal wars in Iraq and Libya and the folly of the Afghanistan invasion, have taken so long to speak out publicly. Had they had the backbone to take a stand against Blair and Bush and stay out of American interventions at the time, then perhaps this country would have been spared the consequences of these wars and many families in the United Kingdom would have been spared the trauma of losing loved ones in the pointless and futile conflicts. Even at the time, there was substantial public o...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paris-attacks-france-to-hold-emergency-meeting-to-avert-future-terror-attacks-9969643.html France to hold emergency meeting to avert future terror attacks There is little worse than hypocrisy. The Western governments have for many years been engaged in the most crass form of hypocritical explanations of their actions, particularly in the Middle East. These governments pass laws which marks criticism of Jews as anti semetic and a criminal offence and yet defends criticism of Muslims as "Free speech". These governments condone the killing of thousands of Palestinians, men, women and chi ldren in Gaza with the cliche of "Israel has the right to defend itself". They defend the excesses and barbarism of the IDF in the occupied territories, demolishing homes, destroying crops and infrastructure and the killing of demonstrators as part of the "war on terror" preventing suicide bomber...
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/shaun-tuck-merseyside-police-probe-1916890 Police probe footballer who encouraged riots and bomb attacks on mosques Shaun Tuck called for All the mosque’s in England to be bombed or gassed out and Muslim children to be beheaded Why are the police only "....considering taking criminal action against him under the Malicious Communications and Public Order Acts." ? If he were Muslim, he would be labeled as a radicalised Jihadist and already arrested under counter terrorism legislation. The double standards of the "authorities" is making a deteriorating situation even worse.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/19/analysis-charlie-hebdo-cartoons French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo's publisher, known only as Charb, speaks to journalists. There seems to be a concerted and determined campaign of incitement in parts of the global media, tacitly endorsed by governments . Incitement, leading to reaction, leading to accepted justification for what? The clock is ticking.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/19/muhammad-cartoons-freedom-expression?fb=native Article 19 of the UN's universal declaration of human rights in 1948 envisaged few restrictions. "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression," it stated. The satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo has published cartoons mocking the prophet Muhammad, prompting fears of protest action. This is not an argument about free speech. This, and all the other recent "incidents", are clearly Incitement to racial and religious hated, which is a criminal offence in many countries of the world. The objective of these "incidents" is to provoke reaction in order to justify a response. There is a very sinister trend in the western media and establishment. The clock is ticking.

There is a growing anti American mood sweeping through the Middle East, which will prompt the United States into re evaluating their relationships with new, less subservient regimes. There is anger in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. Clearly, the Americans are not surprised. Nor should they be. They have been sowing the wind for more than 80 years, and now they are beginning to reap the whirlwind.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/yemen/9542014/Turmoil-spreads-across-Muslim-world-over-controversial-Mohammed-film.html It should come as no surprise to anyone that there are protests against this film and incidentally no surprise, that these protests will continue and spread. The Innocence Of Muslims, depicts Mohammed as a fraud and shows him having sex and calling for massacres. The makers, supporters and financiers of this film care nothing about the "Freedom of speech" argument. Their motive was to be provocative and to generate hostility amongst Muslims throughout the Middle east and perhaps elsewhere, which in turn would result in mass protest. Their other objective was to promote reaction in the west against such protests, and to encourage the growing hostility in many people towards Islam and its followers. In this, the film makers and supportive politicians, have been encouraged by a generally Islamophobic western media w...
