Islam in the News

Please do not censor this posting - as you have done with so many of my pervious offerings that dare to contradict the status quo her on Indy Media.
I was just browsing tonight’s web edition of BBC news site and I stumbled across a treasure-trove of articles recounting various recent examples of Islamic activism.
Here are some highlights from today’s - just ‘today’s’ – headlines, with links included:
Grim search after Chechnya blast
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/default.stm
41 killed, many women and children, by Muslim militants
German plea over Sahara tourists
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3020131.stm
An Islamic organisations known as the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (who have links to Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda), have kidnapped 31 European tourists in Algeria.

13 Al-Qaeda terrorist suspects went on trial today.
Germany charges terror suspect

Germany has charged a second suspect of involvement in the 11 September attacks on New York and Washington. Abdelghani Mzoudi has been charged with being an accessory to murder, and a member of a terrorist organisation.
Blast hits Saudi capital

A warm Muslim welcome for Mr. Powell.

"The police investigation has uncovered a network of Islamic extremists operating in South East Asia".
Philippines leader warns rebels
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/3020839.stm
Time is running out for the Muslim separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front to make clear whether it is committed to a peace process. Philippines President Gloria Arroyo has warned.
Monitors pull out of Aceh
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/3019143.stm
More violence – between the government and Islamic separatist – seems inevitable.
Maybe it’s just me; but for a so-called ‘religion of peace’, it would seem that Islam has an unfortunate knack for getting into altercations with its neighbours.
- Arabia
- The Philippines
- Indonesia
- Algeria
- Holland
- Russia
- Germany
(Not to forget the USA or the UK (the latter of which, for the first time, proudly exported, their very own Islamic suicide bombers to Tel Aviv). Congratulations.
I’ve read plenty of postings on Indy Media attacking Israelis (Zionist Jews), and Americans (corporate Christians), but I’ve yet to read anyone who has dared to challenge – or even question - the motives and the morality behind this international cabal of Islamic extremist organisations.
I wonder why
