I just watched this great new video about the clash between Islam and the West and how to stop it

STOP THE CLASH
STOP THE CLASH


Talk is rising of a ‘clash of civilizations’. But the problem isn’t culture, it’s politics – from 9/11 to Guantanamo, Iraq to Iran. This clash is not inevitable, and we don't want it.

So where to start? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the key symbol of the rift between Islam & the West. It's time to step up and take the initiative.

Add your voice below and when leaders meet in late March, our message will be delivered in a way they can’t ignore...

Petition to Israeli, Palestinian & international leaders: The Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies at the heart of a global clash threatening to divide us all. People from every corner of the world want a just and lasting peace in the Middle East - and the international community can and must help bring all sides to the table. Start Real Middle East Talks Now, and stay at the negotiating table until we have peace...

It's not really a clash of civilizations it's about resource wars and hegemony!

Socialism and the struggle against US militarism

The first step in finding the answer is to draw the lessons of the past experiences. There is no way forward through the existing organisations, parties and institutions. Look at the experience of the Iraq war. The US engages in an aggressive war—thereby committing the same crime for which the Nazi leaders were charged and convicted at Nuremberg—and the United Nations carries a resolution authorising its occupation. The result is that the US may launch a war against Iran, claiming the protection of the UN charter, on the grounds that its forces in Iraq are under attack from Iran and that therefore it is acting in self-defence.

Eritrea & al Qaida: another US/UK 'false flag' operation

08.03.2007 02:11

More lies and war propaganda today by The Independent (UK) and other mainstream sewers in a pretext so stupid again it makes one want to cry: "Fears were growing yesterday that the Britons linked to the embassy in Ethiopia who were taken hostage may be the victims of Islamist fighters connected to al-Qa'ida rather than opportunist robbers."
