How Egypt Killed Political Islam (tags)
The rebirth of the Egyptian revolution ushered in the death of the first Muslim Brotherhood government. But some near-sighted analysts limit the events of Egypt to a military coup. Yes, the military is desperately trying to stay relevant — given the enormous initiative of the Egyptian masses — but the generals realize their own limitations in this context better than anybody else. This wasn’t a mere re-shuffling at the top of society, but a flood from the bottom.

Abrogation in Islam and the Persecution of Christians (tags)
In the last few months, Muslim extremists attacked Christian worshippers in their churches: one in Iraq, the other in Egypt. These massacred resulted in killing innocent men, women and children while praying. Abrogation in Islam is one major cause for the atrocities that Muslim fundamentalists have against non-Muslims in general, and the Christian communities in the Islamic world, in particular. This article addresses the persecution of Christians under Islam within the doctrine of abrogation.

“Innocents Abroad” Trek from San Diego to Gaza (tags)
When Larry Hampshire, Faith Attaguile and Hany El-Saldany signed on with an international convoy bringing supplies and vehicles to the people of the occupied Palestinian province of Gaza, they had so little insight into what they were getting into that they called their program “Innocents Abroad” when they reported on their experience to the Peace and Democracy Action Group of the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest May 6. They faced opposition mostly from the government of Egypt — including a police riot, the confiscation of their passports and the arrest of seven members — but they also had strong support from the people in the countries they went through, especially in the Middle East (Turkey, Syria, Jordan). Their presentation sparked a wide-ranging discussion about the prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian peace and whether the so-called “two-state solution” (a separate Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza next to Israel) is still practical or desirable.
The Global Economic Crisis: Riots, Rebellion and Revolution (tags)
"In the same month, the highest-ranking general in the United States, “Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ranks the financial crisis as a higher priority and greater risk to security than current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.” He explained, “It's a global crisis. And as that impacts security issues, or feeds greater instability, I think it will impact on our national security in ways that we quite haven't figured out yet.”[22] Rest assured, they’ve figured it out, but they don’t want to tell you."
¿Quién ha matado a Ian Tomlinson? Carta de Principito a Keynes (tags)
Señor; me pregunto quien ha matado a Ian Tomlinson y para qué sirve esta víctima mortal de la última reunión del G20. Hoy se ha divulgado el video que ofrece imágenes de una muerte provocada por el disfuncionamiento de los servicios del orden. . La imagen de usted y de su proyecto, escenificados en el segundo artículo de la portada de la edición del 31 de marzo del Boletín del Banco Mundial, me. ha sorprendido y brindado una perspectiva para los planteamientos expuestos al principio de este párrafo. . En efecto, el mencionado artículo presenta, en la introducción, un poema épico sobre su persona y en el desarrollo, un planteamiento de la idoneidad de su proyecto para confrontar la crisis que nos aqueja. Mi extrañeza no provenía de las proclamaciones de keynesianismo en los discursos del "orden”, sino de la oportunidad de mostrar las degradaciones y violaciones que ha sufrido su proyecto, en un momento en que las consecuencias de estas profanaciones son manifiestas en la actualidad. El sacrificio de que usted es victima tiene más consenso que el sacrificio de Ian Tomlinson, aunque aquél no revela perspectivas importantes de este.

ISRAEL SHOULD SUPPORT THE KURDS AGAINST SYRIA (tags)
Israel's Foreign Policy toward Syria should be built on the demands that it leave Lebanon unconditionally, end it's support for Hezbollah and "Palestinian" terror groups, dismantle it's Weapons of Mass Destruction, and keep it's hands off the Kurds. Israel's greater regional policy should be based on supporting the rights of minorities in the area. Only that way, based on democratization, liberation from oppressive regimes, and encouraging freedom, will the Middle East and North Africa be transformed into a region worthy its millennia old history.
