[QUOTE]Originally posted by EgyptianLiving*Com: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tibe-at-work: [qb] All over the west there was LAAARRRGE demonstrations against the Vietnam War and the governments. When will we see a LLLAAARRRGEE muslim demonstrations in muslim countries against Al Quida??????[/qb][/QUOTE]Now I don't know where you have been hiding for the past decade or so, but ever since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1924 - and the subsequent period of Western colonisation of much of the Islamic world ([b]I think it is worth mentioning that at the time of the Western Powers colonising the Muslim World after the Ottomans collapse only 4 Muslim countries remained independant: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan - this is out of about 60 or so. I think that says quite a lot don't you?[/b]) - there has been a heck of a lot of resentment and frustration from the Muslims - in particular the youth - and poverty, and their own governments failing them, and unemployment aside... Look at the oppression they have been suffering from Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory, Indian occupation of Kashmir, the Bosnian holocaust and Kosovan ethnic cleansing, Moscows brutal 200 year old occupation of Chechnya, Chinese occupation of East Turkmenistan, Thailands ocupation of Pattani, etc, etc, -you get the picture. Now with the American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq - along with the images, and sever human rights abuses (Abu Ghraib and Guantanimo is just scratching the surface), tyrannical regimes, which the West backed - you must have seen the image of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam) Now is it any surprise to you with all this happening - along with the sever psychological impact the Crusades left on the Middle East (people often say that the stories are retold as if it happend yesterday) - is it really any surprise to you that the likes of Al Quaida have emerged to address and rally young disaffected, humiliated Muslims against the oppression and injustice they witness all across the Muslim world? This is not to justify strapping bombs and killing non-combatants - of course this is unislamic. But when an invader occupies somones land, it is only natural that you defend your property and your people. There is a much bigger issue that really is not being addressed - and that is in order to defeat Terrorism - one has to defeat the cause(s) of terrorism - dropping bombs on a mountain in Afghanistan is NOT going to work - invading Muslim lands and stripping them naked in prisons, torturing them, humiliating them further and the usual "collateral damage" is not going to defeat terrorism but feed it with more reasons to justify and propogate. I know I quoted Malcolm X earlier on- but his quotes really are profound, this is something that may help you in thinking why you don't see laaaaaaaarge protests against al quaidah - when Muslims already are being oppressed and being bombed by people occupying many of their lands and taking away their human rights: "[b]You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.[/b]" [/QB][/QUOTE]
