Below are some key excerpts from the Pope's speech at the University of Regensburg, entitled Faith, Reason and the University: Memories and Reflections. SEE: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5348456.stm === Pope urged to retract Islam remarks The pope provoked anger after criticising Islam and its concept of jihad on Tuesday during a six-day visit to his native Germany, citing a 14th-century Christian emperor who said that Prophet Mohammed had brought the world "evil and inhuman" things. http://snipurl.com/wh9g === Turkish Lawmaker Compares Pope To Hitler A Turkish lawmaker said Pope Benedict XVI would go down in history "in the same category as leaders such as Hitler and Mussolini" for remarks he made about Islam. Meanwhile, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry summoned the Vatican's ambassador to express regret over the remarks. http://www.wral.com/apworldnews/9856565/detail.html === Fury Over Pope's Remarks Raises Concerns ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Pakistan's legislature unanimously condemned Pope Benedict XVI. Lebanon's top Shiite cleric demanded an apology. And in Turkey, the ruling party likened the pontiff to Hitler and Mussolini and accused him of reviving the mentality of the Crusades. http://www.wral.com/apworldnews/9858855/detail.html === ISLAMIC CONGRESS REJECTS POPE'S "IGNORANT" REMARKS ON ISLAM * JIHAD NOT A CALL TO VIOLENCE, BUT A CHERISHED SPIRITUAL VALUE * The Canadian Islamic Congress has responded with shock and concern to remarks made earlier this week by Pope Benedict XVI calling the Islamic concept of "Jihad" both unreasonable and against the nature of God. http://www.canadianislamiccongress.com/ar/ar_jihad.php === U.S. MUSLIMS CALL FOR DIALOGUE OVER POPE'S COMMENTS ON ISLAM CAIR seeks meeting with Vatican representative in Washington, D.C.

It claims that several parties, which it did not name, were trying to Islamize Europe and render its natives a minority in their own countries. http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2006-09/14/06.shtml === Americans in Denial about 9/11 - So, why did they hate us after all? We sure blew off that question nicely. As with everything else in this country, our response to 9/11 was a heroic compendium of idiocy, cowardice, callow flag-waving, weepy sentimentality (coupled with an apparently bottomless capacity for self-pity), sloth, laziness and partisan ignorance. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14987.htm === 9/11 : CIA Learned in '02 That Bin Laden Had No Iraq Ties, Report Says The CIA learned in late September 2002 from a high-level member of Saddam Hussein's inner circle that Iraq had no past or present contact with Osama bin Laden and that the Iraqi leader considered bin Laden an enemy of the Baghdad regime, according to a recent Senate Intelligence Committee report. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14984.htm === 9/11 : Friendship, then missiles in terror sting FBI agent details how informant was used to build case against Albany mosque leader, pizza shop owner http://snipurl.com/wh9d === 9/11 : Fortress America is an ugly America Of all the stories that ran this week remembering Sept. 11, 2001, and its impact on our country, one of the best I saw was written by the Chicago Tribune's architecture critic, Blair Kamin. Kamin was lamenting how the terrorist attacks of 9/11 have resulted in dismembering Washington, D.C.'s architectural beauty, turning this "once-lovely city of broad diagonal avenues and open vistas conceived in 1791 by French engineer Pierre L'Enfant" into a militarized zone. "Capitol Hill is a zone of fear, welcoming the tourists with fences, slanted concrete barriers, steel walls that pop out of the pavement and steel posts called bollards that are designed to hold a vehicle-delivered bomb at bay," he wrote. "To visit here now is to realize that America has entered a new phase, in which various arms of the federal government have started replacing the temporary security measures installed in the aftermath of Oklahoma City and Sept. 11 with permanent ones." http://www.madison.com/tct/opinion/column/index.php?ntid=98953&ntpid=0 === 9/11 WHISTLEBLOWER RAIDED BY SWAT TEAM ( WITH AUDIO) Ground zero hero Major Mike McCormack says he was deliberately targeted for helping release documents on EPA government cover-up, says 75% of police, firemen believe 9/11 cover-up http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2006/150906whistleblowerraided.htm === 9/11 : Venezuela's Chavez says Bush planned 9/11 attacks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13C-Powt6Zg === Largest Newspaper in Switzerland asks if Bush was behind 9-11 http://www.blick.ch/news/ausland/9-11/artikel45057 === 9/11 : Mossad Agents Arrested In Attempt To Bomb Mexican Congress As reported in La Vox De Aztlan, two men, one of them a former Israeli Colonel and Mossad agent, were arrested INSIDE the Mexican congress carrying 9mm pistols and dynamite, but were released following intense pressure from the Israeli Embassy. http://www.rense.com/general17/mossadagentsarrested.htm === 9/11 : Israeli Diplomat Carrying Large Quantity Of Explosives Arrested In Argentina On Wednesday 9th August 2006, Ezeiza airport police arrested an important Israeli diplomat carrying a considerable quantity of explosives. The Zionist representative was en route to Chile and was detained minutes before boarding a plane. For years, various reporters and indepdendent researchers have been highlighting the false nature of the "attacks" on the Israeli embassy in Argentina and on the headquarters of AMIA (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association which was "truck bombed" in July 1997 and the blame placed on Hizb'allah) This occurred about a month ago. Did you ever see one word of it on ABCNNBBCBS? http://signs-of-the-times.org/signs/editorials/signs20060914_IsraeliDiplomatCarryingLargeQuantityOfExplosivesArrestedInArgentina.php === 7/7 investigative video.

The bad dream goes like this. Its some time in the near future, 2007, 2008 or soon after. Guided by a religious fanatic whose goal was to spread American Style Democracy throughout the world, the USA has lost its financial and moral standing. It turns out that liberating people at gunpoint simply does not win hearts and minds. "Coalition" Troops were not showered with flowers as they marched into Baghdad. It was not a re-enactment of the Liberation of Paris. http://www.lewrockwell.com/chartier/chartier26.html === Irked by the spread of democracy t's no wonder that Cheney isn't happy with the spread of democracy to the American foreign-policy debate. Not only did Cheney have to answer Tim Russert for a whole series of spurious prewar claims and badly mistaken predictions. He must also be distressed with how different the political world is now from what it was four years ago, when he and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld began building their case for the Iraq war. The American people are finally waking up to what has been done to their country, and what has been done internationally in their name. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2003259054_dionne15.html === No News Is Slow News The news that doesn't make the front pages or the BBC bulletins is 'slow news'. For example, the resistance to foreign power by the Palestinians, ordinary Iraqis and Afghans is 'slow news' while the internecine machinations of Bush and Blair is 'regular news'. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14982.htm === Taliban not behind all violence in Afghanistan, says Nato chief "There is a tendency to characterise all of the violence in Afghanistan as the resurgence of the Taliban," said US General James Jones, the alliance's supreme allied commander Europe. "This is inaccurate. It doesn't capture the nature of the problem." He said the violence had other causes, including "the strong presence of the drug cartels which have their own infrastructure, their own export system, their own security system ..." http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,,1873122,00.html === Afghan militants kill 12 as Taliban forces regroup As NATO troops exert pressure on Taliban forces in southern Afghanistan, militants have regrouped in western provinces and ignited violence that has killed a dozen people in two days, officials said Thursday. http://snipurl.com/wh91 === Taleban 'seize Afghan district' The Taleban have ousted Afghan security forces from a district headquarters in the western Farah province after days of heavy fighting, police say. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5349330.stm === European powers refuse to send more troops to Afghanistan In the face of dire warnings that the NATO-led occupation risks losing ground before a resurgence of support for the former Taliban regime, the major European members of the alliance have refused to send a single soldier. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/sep2006/afgh-s15.shtml === The Fall of Waziristan: An Online History The fall of North and South Waziristan and the rise of the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan was an event telegraphed by al-Qaeda and the Taliban http://billroggio.com/archives/2006/09/the_fall_of_wazirist.php === Iraq : Bush says he learns lesssons from Vietnam in Iraq war Memo to President Bush: the biggest tactical mistake in Viet Nam (aside from the US's military involvement) was the thought that we could win a land war from the air. We bombed, and bombed, and bombed, but the Viet Cong could always come back, harder. The biggest tactical mistake this administration has made in Iraq(aside from US having invaded it) is thinking that we can win a land war from the air. It is transparently obvious that you have learned absolutely nothing from the Viet NamWar. This administration is making the same idiotic moves all over again, and thinking that somehow, the outcome will be different. One of the clinical definitions of insanity is to keep doing the same thing, and expecting a totally different outcome. http://www.oxfordpress.com/business/content/shared/news/stories/2006/09/BUSH14_1STLD_COX_W8655.html === Pentagon concludes US defeated in key Iraqi province http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/sep2006/iraq-s14.shtml === U.S. Military Admit Defeat in Strategic Iraqi Province One top secret report by a Marine intelligence officer said there is no chance the U.S. military can end the insurgent violence or that a viable government can be set up in the area. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/9844615/detail.html === Top commander denies US walking away from Al-Anbar province A top US commander denied the US military had written off Al-Anbar province in Iraq and defended a shift of US forces to Baghdad despite intelligence depicting the situation in the west as dire. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060915/pl_afp/usiraqunrestmilitary === There is more than one triangle of resistance http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/haifa_zangana/2006/09/the_defiant_triangle_of_the_ir.html === Three Italian soldiers indicted for civilian deaths in Iraq http://www.khaleejtimes.ae/DisplayArticleNew.asp?xfile=data/theworld/2006/September/theworld_September446.xml§ion=theworld&col= === Judge Says Saddam Not "Dictator" http://www.islam-online.net/English/News/2006-09/14/05.shtml === Iraq: 7 U.S. Occupation Forces Soldiers Killed US military officials said insurgents have killed seven US servicemen and wounded dozens more in the past 48 hours across Iraq. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5348534.stm === U.S. soldier missing in Iraq after blast A U.S. soldier was missing Friday, a day after a suicide truck bombing killed two soldiers and wounded another 30 west of Baghdad, U.S. military officials said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060915/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_us_soldiers === Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Thursday, 14 September 2006. * Three US troops reported killed in Resistance ambush in al-Khalidiyah. * Journalist abducted by puppet regime security forces from funeral of his brother as US-installed Government continues repression of journalists. * Resistance bomb leaves US soldier reported dead in al-Fallujah Thursday morning. * Resistance bomb in south Baghdad suburb of ad-Durah reportedly kills US soldier Thursday morning. * Resistance bomb blasts US patrol in eastern al-Fallujah. * Resistance fighters kill two pro-American Badr Brigade Shii sectarian gunmen in northern Baghdad Thursday morning. * Resistance bomb targets Iraqi puppet army column in at-Tarimiyah early Thursday. * Resistance bombards joint US-Iraqi puppet Shock Troop headquarters in Samarra. * Resistance pounds US base with Katyusha rockets. * Resistance kills two pro-American Peshmergah gunmen, confiscating documents on Iraqi prisoners of US occupation forces. * Resistance fighters attack puppet police patrol on al-Wathbah Square in Baqubah. * Resistance bomber with explosive belt attacks US-Iraqi puppet army checkpoint in Tall Afar. * Resistance bombards puppet army headquarters in Tall Afar. http://www.albasrah.net/en_articles_2006/0906/iraqiresistancereport_140906.htm === PEACE WITH ZIONISM AND IMPERIALISM IS A MERE ILLUSION see: http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net/peaceillusions.htm === The Real Israel - Ghali Hassan For its entire existence, Israel has been portrayed as a civilised society with Western liberal democratic principles, defended by heroic army. Western media coverage has been bluntly biased in favour of Israel regardless of the enormity of Israels war crimes and Israels violations of international law and civilised norms. This Israel, however, is a fabricated subject, rather than a reality. It is built on a fiction. http://mparent7777.livejournal.com/ === Palestinian children in Israeli prison The Palestinian Prisoner Society, legal and childhood rights institutions, and the international and local Red Cross, are pushing for the immediate release of Palestinian minors from Israeli prisons. http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=545&Itemid=1 === United States urges continued starvation of Palestinians WEST BANK - Six months of a crippling international embargo on the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) has brought its economy to a virtual standstill.

Quoting his battalion commander, he said the IDF fired some 1,800 cluster rockets on Lebanon during the war and they contained over 1.2 million cluster bombs. The IDF also used cluster shells fired by 155 mm artillery cannons, so the number of cluster bombs fired on Lebanon is even higher. At the same time, soldiers in the artillery corps testified that the IDF used phosphorous shells, which many experts say is prohibited by international law. According to the claims, the overwhelming majority of the weapons mentioned were fired during the last ten days of the war. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/761910.html === Israel concludes UN post bombing was 'tragic error' Israel concludes UN post bombing was 'tragic error' 'Flawed map'?
