  • "In Canada, the right to freedom of expression is not absolute, nor should it be," the commission's statement said. "By portraying Muslims as all sharing the same negative characteristics, including being a threat to 'the West,' this explicit expression of Islamophobia further perpetuates and promotes prejudice toward Muslims and others."

    Beware world when it comes to speech promoted by America.... the Americans can say anything they want provided the utterances do not cause any physical harm to other American citizens. Amercans say; "Sticks and stones may break my bones but NAMES will never hurt me". So for all of you NON-AMERICANS... get prepared to be told where the "dog died" in America.

W.H.O. Says Iraq Civilian Death Toll Higher Than Cited - 0 views

cited civilian death higher iraq says than toll w.h.o.

    The study is the latest in a long series of attempts to come up with realistic numbers of civilian deaths. The numbers are politically fraught, and researchers' work has been further complicated by problems in collecting data while working in a war zone. The estimates have varied widely. The Iraq Body Count, a nongovernmental group based in Britain that bases its numbers on news media accounts, put the number of civilians dead at 47,668 during the same period of time as the World Health Organization study, the W.H.O. report said. President Bush in the past used a number that was similar to one put forward at the time by the Iraq Body Count. But another study, by Johns Hopkins, which has come under criticism for its methodology, cited an estimate of about 600,000 dead between the war's start, in March 2003, and July 2006. The World Health Organization said its study, based on interviews with families, indicated with a 95 percent degree of statistical certainty that between 104,000 and 223,000 civilians had died. It based its estimate of 151,000 deaths on that range. Those figures made violence the leading cause of adult male deaths in Iraq and one of the leading causes of death for the population as a whole, the health organization research team reported online in the New England Journal of Medicine. More than half the violent deaths occurred in Baghdad. While the new study appears to have the broadest scope to date, increasing its reliability, well known limitations of such efforts in war areas make it unlikely to resolve debate about the extent of the killing in Iraq. Iraqi officials gave conflicting assessments of the newest study, with one senior Health Ministry official praising it and another saying the numbers were exaggerated. The White House said that it had not seen the study and would not comment on its estimated death toll, but that the recent increase in American forces had reduced civilian and military casualties.

      Save the life of Muslim Shia in Iraq from Saudi terrorists and condumn the Saudi-Wahhabist terrorism in Iraq Osama Al Najafi It is not secret to indicate that most terrorism practised in Iraq is originated from the terrorists belongs to Wahhabism religious sect, whether they are belonging to the well-known organization Al Qaida or to another agendas benefited from the chaotic situation in Iraq. It however, should be clearly known that Islam as a religion calls for peace and good treatment to all humans, irrespective of their religion, ethnicity or sex. Mercy and compassion must be practised by a Muslim. And the well-know narrative or Hadith of prophet of Islam Muhammed (pbh) say that Give mercy to anything in this earth so that Allah (God) should give mercy to you. Any act that transgress or contradict these Islamic foundations must not be interpreted as being Islamic. However, Islam is being misused by those Al Qaida or Taliban terrorists so as to recruit more followers for their criminal agenda. At the tip of this pyramid sits the Wahhabi sect or so-called Wahhabism. Wahhabism is the official religious sect of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia finance, patronize and guide the Wahhabi movement. They claim that it is the pure Islam. But in fact there have been written tens of books and hundreds of essays that refute the argument that Wahhabism proceeds from Islamic principles. These books has been written by Islamic authorities from both schools of Islam, mainly Sunni and Shia. Many reports and evidence indicate the Saudi Arabia, and especially the Royal family is directly involved in performing massacres against Muslim Shia in Iraq as well as Christians. Therefore, we call for condemning the Wahhabism as a terrorist movement against humanity in the same way as done before to Nazism and Fascism. An important issue to be taken into consideration here is the verdicts or fatwa that are being issued by Wahhabi authorities to kill every Muslim Shia and commit geno

    • The Baghdadis caught between these extremes know that the only thing standing in the way of another sectarian conflagration is the U.S. military. This may explain why every Iraqi who offers me a view on American politics seems to be praying for a McCain victory. A 100-year American military presence, of which McCain once spoke, may seem a bit much; I suspect most Iraqis would be happy with five.
