Smile...your on camera

(With thanks to Ki for sharing)

Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see
You don't see a damn thing,
'cause you can't possibly relate to me.

You're blinded by our differences.
My life makes no sense to you.
I'm the persecuted Palestinian.
You are the American red, white and blue.

Each day you wake in tranquility.
No fears to cross your eyes.
Each day I wake in gratitude.
Thanking God he let me rise.

You worry about your education
And the bills you have to pay.
I worry about my vulnerable life
And if I'll survive another day.

Your biggest fear is getting ticketed
As you cruise your Cadillac.
My fear is that the tank that just left
Will turn around and come back.

America, do you realize,
That the taxes that you pay
Feed the forces that traumatize
My every living day?

The bulldozers and the tanks,
The gases and the guns,
The bombs that fall outside my door,
All due to American funds.

Yet do you know the truth
Of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth that no one knows?

You blame me for defending myself
Against the ways of Zionists
I'm terrorized in my own land
And I'm the terrorist?

You think that you know all about terrorism
But you don't know it the way I do.
So let me define the term for you.
And teach you what you thought you knew.

I’ve known terrorism for quite some time,
Fifty- four years and more.
It's the fruitless garden uprooted in my yard.
It's the bulldozer in front of my door.

Terrorism breathes the air I breathe.
It's the checkpoint on my way to school.
It's the curfew that jails me in my own home,
And the penalties of breaking that curfew rule.

Terrorism is the robbery of my land.
And the torture of my mother.
The imprisonment of my innocent father.
The bullet in my baby brother.

So America, don't tell me you know about
The things I feel and see.
I'm terrorized in my own land
And the blame is put on me.

But I will not rest, I shall never settle
For the injustice my people endure.
Palestine is OUR land and there we'll remain
Until the day OUR homeland is secure.

And if that time shall never come,
Then they will never see a day of peace.
I will not be thrown from my own home,
Nor will fight for justice cease.

And if I am killed, it will be for Falasteen.
It's written on my breath.
So in your own patriotic words,
Give me liberty or give me death.

Woman arrested over police rape claims

The Iraqi Government has arrested a woman who alleged last month that she was raped by three Iraqi policemen, claims that provoked a spate of sectarian killing, two Iraqi officials told The Times.

Sabrine Janabi’s rape case has polarised Iraq’s Sunni and Shia communities at a moment when the country is already enmeshed in a low-level civil war. Shia officials have accused her of being a proxy for Sunni militants who want to sabotage a security plan for Baghdad, while Sunni politicians have pointed to her story as proof of the sectarian nature of Shia Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Government.

Janabi shocked Iraq last month when she appeared on Al-Jazeera television and accused three policemen of detaining her and then raping her in their garrison.

Her story earned a fiery rebuttal from the Shia Prime Minister, who praised the policemen and promised to promote them. His office released a medical report allegedly taken from a US military combat hospital that said the woman had been beaten but showed no signs of sexual penetration.

Rape is a taboo subject in Arab culture and the news of Janabi’s rape sparked anger in the Sunni community.

In turn, the Government accused Janabi of being paid by insurgents to make her claims. An arrest warrant was issued and Janabi then vanished from the scene.

Sunni extremist groups vowed revenge and 14 policemen were executed by the Al-Qaeda linked Islamic State of Iraq in early March.

Since then, Iraqi officials have debated how to handle the Janabi case, which could still fuel even greater violence. However, two Iraqi officials told The Times Monday that Janabi was arrested a few days after the scandal broke and had filmed her confession.

Although initial reports described Janabi as a 20-year-old Sunni Turkman, the officials said that she was actually a Shia woman, who worked as a prostitute and had been paid by the Islamic Party, the largest Sunni faction in parliament, to come forward with the charges. Janabi was a pseudonym she invented for her job.

“She is in Iraqi custody. She was arrested a few days after you heard about her. She lied,” one of the officials told The Times.

“She was interrogated by a doctor and expert in rape cases.” The Government had initially planned to release her videotaped confession this week, but delayed it, the official said.

Another official said that the Government was worried about the impact the video would have on Sunni-Shia relations in Iraq. Sunnis are still seething about the video of Saddam Hussein’s hanging in December that was leaked on the internet.

Before her arrest, Janabi had already been detained briefly by police for living in a displaced person’s house, where she was suspected of working in a medical clinic for insurgents, the official said. She will most likely be prosecuted on these charges, he said.

Salim Abdullah, a spokesman for the Islamic Party, told The Times that the Government was trying to cover up Janabi’s rape. “An arrest warrant was issued against Sabrine al-Janabi so as to prevent her from talking anymore to the media,” Abdullah said.

“From the beginning we figured out her arrest would be aimed at seizing her confessions from the public as well as to fabricate a lie.” He denied the Islamic Party had any role in the case.

The Iraqi Government has raided the homes of eight Sunni MPs in the last week, Salim Abdullah told The Times.

A senior Shia official said raids on the homes of Sunni MPs Khalaf al-Ayan and Dhafir al-Ani had found bomb-making materials.

Turks ban YouTube over insults

A Turkish court has ordered a block on access to YouTube's website because of videos that allegedly insult Turkish people and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern-day Turkey.

The court ruling on Wednesday comes after news reports claiming a video on YouTube allegedly said Ataturk and Turkish people were homosexuals.

Paul Doany, head of Turk Telekom, Turkey's largest telecommunications provider, said his company had immediately begun enforcing the ban.

Doany said in remarks quoted by the state-run Anatolia news agency: "A court decision was proposed to us, and we are doing what that court decision says."

Turk Telekom, a state-run monopoly until it was privatised in 2005, provides internet services for the vast majority of Turkish internet users.

Court decision

Now, those navigating to YouTube's website from Turkey are greeted with the message: "Access to this site has been blocked by a court decision".

Over the past week, Turkish media has publicised arguments between Greeks and Turks who are using YouTube to post videos belittling and berating each other.

The CNN-Turk Web site featured a link allowing Turks to complain directly by email to YouTube about the "insult".

On its front page on Wednesday, the Hurriyet newspaper said thousands of people had written to YouTube and that the Ataturk videos had been removed from the site.

"YouTube got the message", read the headline.

Doany has said Turk Telekom would allow access to the popular video sharing site again if the court decision were rescinded.

After a petition by Turk Telekom, the court later ruled that it would revoke its ban once it ascertained that the offending videos had been removed from YouTube.

Insulting Ataturk or "Turkishness" is a crime in Turkey punishable by a prison sentence.

US sailor arrested on spying charge

Police in Arizona have arrested a former US Navy sailor on charges of spying and providing material support to terrorists.

The US Attorney's office in Connecticut said on Wednesday that Hassan Abujihaad, formerly known as Paul Hall, 31, was arrested on a federal criminal complaint in Phoenix.

He is suspected of providing classified information to a London-based organisation called Azzam Publications knowing that it was to be used to kill US citizens.

Azzam was part of a conspiracy to provide material support and communications links to people engaged in terrorism, prosecutors said.

The charges related to disclosure a US Navy battle group movements as it traveled from California to the Gulf in 2001, prosecutors said in a news release.

The suspected disclosures occurred just months after an attack by suicide bombers on the USS Cole during a refueling stop in Yemen in October 2000, which killed 17 sailors and injured dozens more.

If convicted on both charges, Abujihaad faces a maximum term of 25 years in jail.

Websites in Connecticut

The charges were brought in Connecticut because the Azzam Publications websites were hosted for a time on servers in the state.

The complaint alleged that Abujihaad sent several e-mails to members of Azzam while he was on active duty in the Middle East and stationed aboard the USS Benfold, a ship in the battle group whose movements were disclosed.

The emails were recovered in a December 2003 search by British police of the London home of Babar Ahmad, a British national linked to Azzam.

Aside from details of the warships' movements, a document Abujihaad is accused of leaking went on to discuss the group's perceived vulnerability to terrorist attack, prosecutors said.

Abujihaad was discharged from active duty from the United States Navy in January 2002, authorities said.

US 'erased Afghan attack footage'

Eight civilians were killed and 35 hurt in the attack

The Associated Press is to complain to the US military after journalists said US soldiers deleted footage of the aftermath of an attack in Afghanistan.

President Hamid Karzai said 10 people died when coalition forces opened fire on civilians after a suicide attack in eastern Nangarhar province on Sunday.

Journalists working for AP said US troops erased images of a vehicle in which three people had been shot dead.

The US military said it could not confirm its troops had seized any film.

'Co-ordinated attack'

The Americans say the fighting started when a convoy of marines was attacked by a suicide bomber and came under co-ordinated small-arms fire.

Two soldiers with a translator came and said, 'Why are you taking pictures? You don't have permission' Photographer Rahmat Gul

They say their soldiers returned fire, and acknowledge that at least eight Afghan civilians were killed, with a further 35 injured.

Thousands of local people took to the streets on Sunday to protest against what happened. The Afghan authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the militant attack.

'You will face problems'

In a report from Kabul, the Associated Press (AP) said it "plans to lodge a protest with the American military".

A freelance photographer working for AP and a cameraman working for AP Television News say they arrived at the site about half an hour after the suicide bombing.

Thirty-five people were also injured during the incident

Witnesses at the scene said three civilians in the four-wheel drive vehicle had been killed by US forces fleeing the attack, the journalists said.

"When I went near the four-wheel drive, I saw the Americans taking pictures of the same car, so I started taking pictures," photographer Rahmat Gul said.

"Two soldiers with a translator came and said, 'Why are you taking pictures? You don't have permission.'"

Mr Gul said troops took his camera, deleted his photos and returned it to him.

His APTN colleague, who did not want to be named, said he was told he could film the scene - but when he did so a US soldier got very angry and deleted any footage that included the Americans.

Khanwali Kamran, a reporter for the Afghan channel Ariana Television, said the American soldiers also deleted his footage, AP reported.

"They warned me that if it is aired ... then, 'You will face problems,'" Mr Kamran was quoted by the news agency as saying.

Reporters Without Borders condemned the alleged actions of the US forces, saying they dealt with the media poorly.

"Why did the soldiers do it if they don't have anything to hide?" said Jean-Francois Julliard, a spokesman for the Paris-based group.

US military spokesman Lt Col David Accetta said he did not have any confirmed reports that coalition forces "have been involved in confiscating cameras or deleting images".

Soccer Regulators Give Hijab Red Card

The expulsion of a Canadian Muslim footballer from a match for wearing hijab has taken a dramatic and global dimension after the game's ultimate regulators backed the decision, Canada's The Gazette daily reported on Sunday, March 4. "It's absolutely right to be sensitive to people's thoughts and philosophies," Brian Barwick, a member of the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the guardian of the Laws of the Game, said after a meeting on Saturday, March 3. "But, equally, there has to be a set of laws that are adhered to - and we favor Law 4 being adhered to." The fourth rule lists the items a player is entitled to wear and makes no reference to head covers. It also stipulates that "a player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to himself or any other player." Last week, a Canadian referee ejected 11-year-old Asmahan Mansour during a National game for wearing the hijab on safety and security grounds. The Quebec Soccer Federation insisted the referee was enforcing international guidelines regarding equipment and safety rules. IFAB, which administers the rules for the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), ruled that the referee made the correct decision. "If you play football, there's a set of laws and rules. Law 4 outlines basic equipment," Barwick said. FIFA also weighed in. "The wearing of a hijab is already covered by Law 4 on Players' Equipment," it said in a news release following IFAB's meeting. Until last week, FIFA's position was somehow different. FIFA official Nicholas Maing had told The Gazette that "there is nothing prohibiting hijab" in the laws of the game. He cited how goalkeepers are allowed to wear protective caps and head guards. IslamOnline.net tried to contact the FIFA media office for clarification, but no one was answering the phone. Legal Action The IFAB's position drew immediate fire and threats of legal actions. "I think this is something that needs to be taken up with the United Nations in terms of human rights violations," Anisa Ali of the United Muslim Women of Canada told CTV Newsnet on Saturday. She warned that banning hijab in sports "sends a very negative view, especially to young women, who wish to participate in athletic activities." "We, as Muslim women, have a right to participate in sporting activities just like non-Muslim women." Islam sees hijab as an obligatory code of dress, not a religious symbol displaying one’s affiliations. Ali asserted that her group would take legal action as soon as possible. The FIFA's ruling would likely have a far-reaching implications for Muslim women footballers and could trigger similar problems for Muslim female athletes practicing other sports. Disappointing The ruling stirred even more furor in the French-speaking Canadian province where the controversy began, with many condemning the unreasonable ban. "It wasn't right what happened to Azzy (Asmahan). And with this ruling, I guess it can happen again to another player," said Louis Maneiro, the coach of the young Muslim athlete. Maneiro, who coaches the under-12 girls team Nepean Hotspur Selects, said he wasn't buying the argument that hijab poses a threat on the playground. "I had hoped the (IFAB) would clarify the rules. Because right now, there is a lot of interpretation on what is appropriate and what isn't," he insisted. "The people paying for the confusion are the children." Supporting their Muslim teammate, the players of the Nepean Hotspurs Selects walked off the field at the Canadian indoor championship when Asmahan was ejected. The girl's family also lamented the unfair decision, saying they hoped the IFAB would have showed more sensitivity. "The hijab is part of her religion," Asmahan's father, Youssef Mansour, said. He affirmed the hijab was never a stumble for his daughter's participation in any sport. "There was no problem before. She has played lots of sports and suddenly this comes out of nowhere."

Our females are used for sex as war weapons and our youth are banned from higher education. Inter-marriage among us is even stopped and travelling has been totally banned inside the region. In consequence of economic crisis, the new born baby are killed by their own parents because of lack of foods and other neutrition plights.

Half of our population have given up living Burma but they are also facing with inhumanities where they are taking a refuge. The world is ignore our plights even Muslim countries never showed a few interest in our issue.

Fabricated evidence in US 'terror trial'

False quotes shake up terror trial

The mystery of how and why a government wiretap summary falsely attributed anti-Jewish slurs to officials of a Muslim charity remained unanswered Tuesday as federal prosecutors pledged to look into the matter.

In court papers filed late Monday, the U.S. attorney's office in Dallas said it was trying to determine how the recently declassified summary of a 1996 FBI wiretap of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development included vitriolic language that was not found in a verbatim transcript of a recorded conversation.

"The government is attempting to determine the reason for the discrepancy between the summary and the transcript," prosecutors said, adding that officials wanted to locate the language specialist who prepared the summary.

Meanwhile, the unexplained discrepancies have brought potential controversy to the government's biggest terrorism funding case to date.

According to the discredited summary, Holy Land officials referred to Israel as "the government of the demons" and to Jews as trying "to rob as much money as possible from the American taxpayers for the illegitimate excuse of protecting and preserving the chosen people of God."

One Muslim charity official supposedly told a colleague: "Even Jesus Christ had called the Jews and their high priests … the sons of snakes and scorpions."

None of those comments was contained in a 13-page verbatim transcript of the conversation recorded April 15, 1996, by the FBI. In response, defense lawyers demanded declassification of large portions of the government's documents in the case.

On Monday, federal prosecutors argued that the discrepancies were not serious enough to justify such sweeping declassifications.

Five years ago, authorities shut down what was then the nation's largest Muslim charity on grounds that it was a fundraising front for the Palestinian group Hamas, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization. In 2004, federal prosecutors charged seven former Holy Land officials, six of them U.S. citizens, with sending money to overseas charities controlled by Hamas, an accusation they deny.

Defense attorneys asked U.S. District Judge A. Joe Fish to declassify 10 years worth of wiretapped conversations and faxes after discovering the faulty summary among the first batch they reviewed.

Without declassifying the government's evidence in the case, defense attorneys argued, they would have no way of knowing whether other documents had discrepancies or inaccuracies because the classified originals of documents could not be shared with their clients.

In response, government prosecutors said it was "an overreaction" to extrapolate that all of the government summaries were useless on the basis of discrepancies found in one set of documents.

Prosecutors also said the contested summary, while including some language not found in the transcript, "does not otherwise misrepresent the substance of the conversation" among the Holy Land officials.

Defense attorneys, who declined to comment Tuesday, have argued that the government summary "fundamentally distorted" the conversation by attributing "an anti-Semitic diatribe" to the foundation officials.

The lead prosecutor in the case said there would be no comment beyond court filings.

In the meantime, defense attorneys filed a new request with the judge to gain access to government documents they contend will show the U.S. Agency for International Development has funded or worked with organizations that are linked to the same overseas' charities allegedly controlled by Hamas and named in the indictment.
