Pro-Kontra Kerusuhan Mei di Beirut
2008-05-19 12:26:00 Aku postingkan tulisan ini, lagi-lagi, untuk mengcounter segala bentuk pendiskreditan terhadap Hizbullah dan pemanipulasian kebenaran pengetahuan akan kerusuhan Mei di Beirut. Semoga, ini bisa cukup menjadi amunisi untuk ‘membunuh’ orang-orang yang dengan sadar melemahkan barisan umat Islam demi kepentingan Amerika dan Israel Laknatullah. Mencoba mengikuti gaya khas orang-orang itu, maka aku ingin mengucapkan kata “TOBATLAH…!”- ————-212;————-;————&#-8212;– Pro-Kontra Kerusuhan Mei ...

Mereka mengecam Hizbullah karena berperang dengan Israel. Bagi orang awam, pemecahbelahan yang ...

2008-05-03 23:06:00 The Army of al-Mustafa (a.k.a. “Jaish al-Mustafa”)—a Sunni insurgent group which has claimed credit for at least three joint operations with Al-Qaida’s “Islamic State of Iraq” (ISI) since January 2008—has suddenly broken off relations with the ISI, accusing its local commanders of engaging in “threats” and “blackmail.” In a statement released on April 15, a Jaish al-Mustafa field commander known as “Abu Muslim al-Mosuli”...(read more)
Shia-Sunni clash in Lucknow
2008-04-30 21:13:00 Once again Lucknow witnessed a Shia-Sunni clash on Tuesday. Though over a dozen persons were injured, the violence didn't spread and was effectively controlled.It was the same area of Walled City: Husainabad, that again witnessed the groups of Shia and Sunni youths indulging in stone pelting and rioting.The trouble started over a petty argument over rickshaw fare and as those quarrelling belonged to different sects, it led to tension and soon supporters of both the sides came to streets.Though Lucknow has a long history of such sectarian conflict, it was felt that old days of Shia-Sunni tension are a thing of past. Specially after the ban on Azadari and the Madah-e-Sahaba procession was lifted, it was believed that the things would get normal. However many such clashes have occurred in Old City in the last couple of years.Lucknow is known to be a City that doesn't have a Hindu-Muslim friction, rather it is Shia-Sunni schism that this place is notorious for. Though the scale of vio...

A different perspective on John McCain and Al Qaeda in Iraq
2008-04-09 05:37:00 Although John McCain doesn’t believe that Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) is an “obscure sect” of Shiites (he meant to say Sunnis), the numbers beg to differ. Experts estimate that AQI is comprised of approximately 1,000 people, which is approximately 1% of the insurgency. Assuming a population of 29,000,000 with 40% Sunni Moslems, ...

Obama Talks VP Criteria
2008-04-08 07:49:00 Photo by Steve Boxbe Flickr Barack Obama talked with the Huffington Post on Monday about what he would like in a Vice Presidential running mate. What others see as his weaknesses, Obama feels are his greatest strengths. ?I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I'm not an expert on,? Obama said. Most critics would see Obama?s weaknesses being security issues and foreign policy. ?I think a lot of people assume that might be some sort of military thing to make me look more Commander-in-Chief-like. Ironically, this is an area--foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain,? Obama said. Obama explained that when Clinton talks about visiting 80 countries you do not see the important parts of the country. Obama talked about how he has taken those same trips and that he did not learn what you need to about those countries. ?You do that in eight...

Will the Arming of Sunni Militias in Iraq Pressure Iran?
2008-03-20 00:49:00 Daniel Graeber has an interesting article in UPI (h/t) on the long term consequences of arming Sunni militias in Iraq.But as the Sons of Iraq increasingly shed blood for the country, they are growing increasingly disenfranchised with the political rewards. Iraqis, including the Awakening Councils, want peace and stability, but as in any form of participatory government, they also want power. In Diyala province recently, members of the Sons of Iraq abandoned their checkpoints in protest of the Iraqi central government?s choice for police chief, who happened to be Shiite. That?s just one minor example of the swelling tide of political discontent emerging from the Awakening Councils, as many simply see no purpose in continuing the fight as the Awakening came with few rewards. Adding to the complexity is the tenuous cease-fire by the fighters loyal to the Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr, who many of the Sawha forces fear.I had Graeber's way of thinking until last week. Then I had a realizat...

sunni or latter
2008-01-11 16:15:00 With all this election stuff, it had almost slipped my mind that we were still at war in Iraq and Afghanistan and trying to contrive 5 speed boats as an act of war with Iran. Then there is the northern end of Iraq, where the Turks and Kurds going at it. But as expected they say things are going well when to me they are not.I mean if I was an Iraqi and running the government of Iraq, I would move to take our state back and urge all, Sunni’s and Shite to join in battle with the Kurds against Turkey. This may engender nationalism of my people for Iraq, and at the same time anger the US, who move for a unified Iraq but really don’t want one – and did I add, would likely be forced to help Turkey if such popped off. But this wont occur for we have effectively divided the country and encouraged secularism in the country with our pre-emptive policies and morosely laconic foreign policy.We are now, since the surge (what ever that is) recruiting villagers of Iraq that are members of...

9 US Soldiers Killed in Sunni Strongholds
2008-01-10 14:29:00 [I hope we are not creating a Frankenstein’s monster by arming the Sunnis in Iraq. The Maliki government looks to be worried. And the Sunni/Shia divide cannot be bridged simply by our military and money interventions.

Birth of the Sunni Awakening
2007-11-30 13:30:00 This reads like a Mideast spaghetti western. It is the story of Abu Abed and how he initiated the first jihad against al-Qaeda: One morning in late May, a former Iraqi military intelligence officer working as an American double agent walked up to the al-Qaeda ruler of west Baghdad. The exchange of words, then bullets, that followed has transformed the most volatile neighbourhood of Baghdad into an unexpected haven of calm. It may, according to US officers, be one of the most significant gunfights since the 2003 invasion, and its ripples across Baghdad are bringing local Sunni and Shia men together to fight terrorists and militia in other neighbourhoods. The showdown went like this: ?Hajji Sabah, isn?t it time you stopped already?? Abu Abed al-Obeidi, a diminutive 37-year-old with a drooping moustache, tired eyes and a ready smile, said. ?You have destroyed Amariyah,? he added, referring to the neighbourhood. ?Who are you?? Sabah, the Islamist emir, sneered. ?We?re al-Qaeda. I?ll ...

Shiite and Sunni Clerics Promote Unity
2007-11-27 21:41:00 For those who continue to suggest that recent success in Iraq is some sort of mirage, you may want to consider a report from the AP describing recent developments among the Shiite and Sunni clerics. As is always the case with such news one should remain cautiously optimistic. But to dismiss positive results especially if your prevailing position is that of a far left antiwar surrendering and appeasing liberal makes the case for those who oppose your defeatist and submissive behavior.The now famous troop surge that was dismissed by liberal critics who are totally invested in defeat for at least political reasons has established a beneficial trend in Iraq. Reports have indicated the improvements were enough to convince displaced Iraqis to return home. And while visitors to my blog have been known to call the reduction in violence an Al-Qaeda ploy to wait out a US departure, the combination of the surge, peaceful pursuits of clerics, returning Iraqis and the continued joint efforts of ...
