U.S. Attack on Iran: Mission Impossible?

The latest news on an attack on Iran by the U.S. is that there is no attack, according to U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, who is currently in the midst of his 9-day Middle East cruise. Is this a surprise or is this not? Well, I think it is a little of both. The surprising part is that Mr. Cheney known as a warmonger, who thrives on war for his individual business purposes, denied an attack on Iran. At the same time, it should not be a surprise, since our U.S. economy has only deteriorated the past 5 to 7 years, and our army has been spread razor thin, which basically eliminates any effectiveness in any battle with Iran. Then the U.S. is faced with the sudden positions of major countries such as Russia who are suddenly confronting and criticizing U.S. foreign policy in the world, and could very possibly entail another cold war. Not to mention, Iran’s hard-hitting and vastly improving military capabilities where they supposedly introduced the fastest underwater missile in the world. Not to forget, that Iran also manufactures their own airplanes, long range missiles, etc. Plus, Iran has recently launched a satellite into space, which led to the U.S. shooting down one of their own satellites. Hmmm, I wonder why?

The U.S. proclaimed that the satellite was outdated and plain old “not working”. But, I personally doubt this is the case. There are two possible answers to why the U.S, would shoot down their own satellite in conjunction with Iran launching its own one. Either, the U.S. is trying to prove to Iran that they are capable of taking down any satellite they wish. Or, the fact that the Iranian military has reached new horizons, which evidently means that the U.S. now feels threatened from a highly capable Iranian satellite that the U.S. had to shoot down their own. Moreover that would be to prevent Iran’s highly capable satellite from drawing any transmitted data from the U.S. satellite.

Now at this instant, we are confronted with two answers which indicate two conflicting outcomes: Either, the U.S. is fully capable of launching a war and are trying to play the game of psychological warfare to begin with. Or, the second answer indicates that the U.S. is caught in a big pothole in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and are just worn-out in gauging another war. But my worry is that the U.S. launches a war even of they are incapable of launching one, stemming from the gaffes of some of our dim-witted government officials that is of course headed by Mr. Cheney himself…

Thousands March Against Injustice

Yesterday afternoon thousands of Muslims marched against injustice. The event was a great success and many members of the Dearborn community joined the march to support the cause of the great Muslim saint Imam Husayn.

In Iraq this year the amount of people who flocked to Karbalaa, the Holy Muslim city where Imam Husayn is buried, reached 9 million according to Iraqi authorities.

This event and others around the world prove to the non-Muslim community that Muslims are speaking out against crimes committed in the name of Islam and against injustice. I bet the Islamophobic pundits will stray away from this story!

Cheap Ticket to Fame

"Khaalif Tu'ruf" - Oppose and you will be known, a famous ancient Arabic saying that holds much value even in this day. Simply put, if you desire fame, oppose the norm. Under the guise of defending freedom of speech, Danish quasi intellectuals decided to insult and poke their twigs at a phenomenal personality that is loved by about 1.6 billion human beings around the world. All of that they did simply to see their names and faces plastered on the tabloids.

Rather than approach a subject matter in an intellectual or ethical manner, appealing to the minds and hearts of people, these alleged defenders of intellectual freedom dig their spears even further into the heart of intellect. I ask, were these noble safeguards of freedom ignorant of the world’s reaction to the first allegedly ill-calculated assault, one that led to the death of many innocent people and the destruction of very valuable property. Apparently not. Obviously, they had and still have little regard for the sympathies, lives, and properties of others, as their selfish egoistic desire for self-recognition prompted them to supersede all human moral and ethical barriers by repeating the same dreadful episode.

A reference for the future generations to come, their names in history can be found under the following headings: "twits", "Islamophobes", "bigots", and "so-called intellectuals".

War Against Islam

One cannot overlook the War Against Islam by the Christian Right. I know. I know. You're gonna tell me don't speak like that or don't generalize. I'll give you that much but not an inch more. Also I am not specifying every last member but the leadership.

I was checking my email today and I found in my inbox the following article. Its about a few baboons claiming to be ex-Muslims. I'm sure you heard of them;

These men are frauds, but this is not the point. They are part of a dark and frightening war by the Christian right against tolerance that, in the moment of another catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil, would make it acceptable to target and persecute all Muslims, including the some 6 million Muslims who live in the United States.

This 'War on Error' is quickly targeting Islam and many innocent Muslims. That is not to say that people are not committing crimes in the name of Islam, but we must be sure not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
