Its seems odd that country proclaiming a commitment to Freedom supports the closure of the only real free press in most of the middle east - Al Jazeera. Even Alister Campbell aplogist for the UK governement and a supporter of muting the TV station during the invasion of Iraq now agrees how important the station is to free speech.
So all of you neo-cons with your spin on Freedom for the Iraqi people how about letting them watch what ever TV station they wish to switch on. And let Al Jazeera report from Iraqi what has an emerging democracy ocuupied by freedom loving democracies got to fear from free sppech
What's sppech and how do I get some for free?
Free sppech is a vey series issue around here; it's hugh. Our minds are ocuupied by it everyday.
The Inquisition was not "in the last few hundred years."
The Holocaust was not caused by the Christian religion. It was caused by national socialism.
Rwanda was a tribal conflict between Hutus and Tutsuis.
Bosnia was a conflict between Serbs and invading Muslims.
Are you that ill-informed? Wait, you read The Guardian, of course you are.
Look you can funny to....
You should look at the http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest
Might be get an alternative view of hoe europe sees the world.
Do any of you read Gore Vidal
Tada! See? Read some of his posts and his identity becomes so much clearer than some fake name, no?
I really don't care how Europe sees the world.
Yes, I've read Gore Vidal.
But you haven't answered my question about the irony of your posting a complaint about free "sppech" from a country that practices prior restraint on the press and has sedition laws on the books.
ISLAM started the Crusades.
Wanna try again?
How about the MUSLIM atrocities currently going on in Africa?
How about the HOMICIDE bombers?
Any religion out there other than ISLAM that blows up their own children to MURDER innocents?
Any religion out there you know of that feels SO threatened by 14 year old Jewish GIRLS in a pizzaria that they have to blow themselves up?
ANY religion that advocates the murder of children deserves EXTINCTION.
Islam does not and has not renounced violence.
Christians you so merrily bash denounce violence all the time.
Oh, but that's inconvenient for you!
I served my country honorably.
Can you say teh same?
No, you're busy worshipping the muslim world view.
And you have not a clue that they'd kill you given the chance.
Go ahead, go over to Iran and offer your services to the terrorists.
Or go into Iraq and offer yourself over to the Al Sadr guys.
Just don't say you weren't warned when they videotape your death.
Yes, we're very well read.
Do you even bother to check facts?
Al Jazeera supports terrorism.
Dan Rather is NOT the entire spectrum of our news agencies.
Your premise is false, and you are a liar.
Dan Rather's next employer?al-Jazeera
I did this to amuse myself and make friends, I am sure you are not as crazy or nerdish as you appear to be.
It is the fault of the guardian diary section - i think youll get a lot more vists .
Still I know you lot are having a good time all those pictures of death and distruction and planes very boys own.
My mother and father unlike you lot did go to war against real nazis not people picking up their policies
Looks to me like Martin is an apologist fro terrorism.
Perhaps he should HIRE Dan Rather to work for him?
Rather and Baghdad Bob could run a show together and spread their version of truth to the Islamic nations.
Make friends?
Among who?
Terrorists?
Snot-nosed mealy mouthed liberals without a brain cell among even TEN of them?
'Nerdish'?
You're admitting that BlueNgold is way smarter than you?
"i think youll get a lot more vists ."
I think not, troll.
"distruction and planes very boys own. "
English is not your primary language, is it?
Elif air ab deenich.
"My mother and father unlike you lot did go to war against real nazis not people picking up their policies"
So you admit that the muslims are picking up the policies of the Nazi's?
Your mother fought?
Not likely.
Perhaps if she was in France she got to hear "Fraulein!" every night.
I have to say, that must be the most thoughtful, insightful, and informative post I've seen yet. Outstandingly brilliant, brilliantly outstanding. Is your recess time over yet?
Oh, that tears it.
Admin, if you don't lower the boom right now on the Gore Vidal fan, I will have a crisis of faith.
Inquistion was in action at least up to the end of the 18th Century (maybe hjail rather than burning)
Germans are Christians and Christians they still are (but nice ones now)
The muslims in Bosnia had lived there for 300 years it was the Serbs and Croatians who did 90% killing.
Who cares what Europe thinks.
France has it's head so far up it's own bum that it cannot see that it is under assault by invading muslim masses.
The kidnapping of the frenchies in Iraq was a shot across their bow.
But, France being France, they'll surrender to a pink bow-tied toy poodle.
Say, you may be Taftkald or Taotao, the supposed Brussels/dutch troll!
It is my name- promish we liberals in the UK think these sort of things.
Look Ill buy you all a beer if you promish not to kill me we chat I can tell how it it really was and is.... and might be
Germans were/are not christians.
Trust me mein freund.
Hitler's Germany practised race based atheism.
They had a psuedo religion based on the 'aryan ideal' that was supposedly their birthright.
He even commisioned archeologists to FAKE historical digs to support his views.
Try again.
You had the line. Next time I'll follow you (At least for a few steps). your da' man. :)
