-Caveat Lector- ... "Terrorism" ?
From http://www.gulf-news.com/Articles/print.asp?ArticleID=32257 }}}>Begin U.S. urged to define terrorism Bahrain | By Latheef Farook | 12/11/2001 Seven political and Islamic organisations in Bahrain have urged the U.S. government to first define what is terrorism and deal accordingly rather than causing death and devastation to the innocent Afghans who have nothing to do with the September 11 attack on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon. They have also cautioned the Arab and Muslim governments siding with U.S. led military strikes that their stand is bound to intensify people's hatred especially with the continuous killing of innocent Afghans. In their joint memorandum which is to be submitted to the U.S. Ambassador Ronald Neumann and the British Ambassador Peter Ford in Bahrain they also pointed out that U.S.-led war on Afghanistan has reached an extremely dangerous point where political and Islamic societies in Bahrain cannot remain silent without expressing their concern from a humanitarian point of view. "What is needed is to act within the legal framework and that too with logic and wisdom , and try to bring those perpetrators to book while trying to study the root cause to solve the problem," the memo said. It also appealed to all governments to stand up for justice and try to find a solution within the legal framework before things become worse for everyone." Strongly condemning the September 11 attack and expressing their sincere condolences to the families of victims they also rejected all attempts to link these attacks to Islam. In this regard they called for an international conference on terrorism to define what is terrorism, prevent each government from defining what is terrorism from their point of view, and deal with all those who commits such acts. The memorandum urged the U.S. administration to undertake a thorough study of its foreign policy, especially its policy towards Arab and Muslim countries, and highlighted the need to differentiate between terrorism and fight for freedom against foreign occupation especially the Palestinian struggle for freedom against Zionist occupation. "What has been happening in the occupied Palestinian territories is more than enough to brand Israel as the worst terrorist entity in the world and it is time that the American administration stops its unjust policy towards the Palestinians," it said. The joint statement was issued by Islamic National Society, Democratic National Action Society, Al Eslah Society, Al Tawhiya Islamic Society, Democratic Society, Islamic Society of Bahrain and Arab Islamic Wasat Society. Around 15 more cultural and other societies have also expressed their willingness to be included in this memorandum. © Al Nisr Publishing LLC - Gulf News Online End<{{{ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forwarded as information only; no endorsement to be presumed + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
