"It is possible, not knowing better at this time, that Aziz was/is actually a Communist."
Aziz sounds to me like a very dangerous man. It was Aziz who said (paraphrasing here)"Berg rang me at 9 or 10 am and told me he had found a lift to Jordan with some nice people and I told him to have a nice trip..."
We only have his word for that. Aziz may be responsible for Berg's fate. Aziz had access to Berg's cell phone records? And what else? His bank account? As a business partner, I imagine that he did.
If Berg had his laptop computer with him on 'the trip' with his newfound friends, what information did that contain?
I believe there are two major factions in Iraq. The Sunni and the shia. The Sunni (arabs)held power under Saddam who was a devoted fan of Stalin. The shia are in the majority in Iraq, some 60% of the population, whom Saddam oppressed. The Sunni (and wahabbe) arabs say that the shia (followers of Ali, the son-in-law of Mohammad) are apostates and do not deserve to live.
The Ba'athist party of Saddam was basically Marxist, so yes, Saddam supporters are communist. Saddam's regime was secular until it suited him to pose otherwise just before the end, when statues began to appear showing him in religious garb. A purely opportunistic stance.
The fight between the followers of two factions of islam as to which attains the Caliphate has been going on since Mohammad died. (It may continue until islam itself dies!)
The radical Left does not take history into account. I think they believe all islam is the same...Berg should have read 'The Caliphate - It's Rise, Decline and Fall' by Sir William Muir. But History, fact or truth has never influenced the Left, has it?
We must never make the same mistake. If you go to my Page you will find a link where you can download several free books on the subject of islam, written long before the islamists had a chance to revise their history with lies.
Deception is the key to how islam operates and the Left lives on lies. The two met in Iraq. One was Berg, the other may well have been Aziz.
OMG!! Aziz said three calls had been made from Nick's cell phone but how did he KNOW if he didn't have Nick's phone?? Geesh...my head is spinning wih tidbts of info!!
