I have decided, although I am not really sure that I will continue to do that since I am a new mommy and believe me if I tell you! It is a full-time job, so I don’t have a lot of time for myself lately.
Let’s stop bubbling and go back to the decision!
I have decided to write down every piece of info or write about a controversial issue that abruptly came to my head or provoked my passion or simply express my own opinions about incidents or cases.
Recently navigating www.youtube.com , I came across a video of part of the movie Crossing Over, casting; Harrison Ford and Ashley Judd. Anyway, the video showed a girl, a Muslim girl who is wearing Hijab and gives a speech, or more like an article she wrote as homework to her American classmates. She talked about how the media; more accurately the western media called all the jihadis terrorists and murderers. She states: ‘should not we try to understand them as human beings?’
Of course the whole class yells at her for considering them real people. They argue that they don’t have a cause and what would that be? Killing them!
She immediately defends the oppressed Palestinians and the Iraqi citizens whose voices are never heard even if they screamed, but following the 9/11 attacks.
My first thought was: ‘Get over it; it’s already been 9 years.’
All the American movies tackled that. I actually adored My Name is Khan, especially the sentence he kept saying: ‘My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist.’
Yet, there are too many movies tackling the same subject, even from different points of view; the American view is that these were terrorist and the FBI led a rightful investigation which they coded PENTTBOM and which is the largest criminal inquiry in the history of the United States (that investigation linked the attacks to Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden, the USA’s Boogeyman). They never tortured anybody or made anyone’s life a living hell. Lol! That’s what the USA’s media clearly announced over and over again.
My Name is Khan, for example tackles the other perspective, may be a Muslim one, which is almost true spotting the light on how Muslims cope in the USA after the attacks and how they are treated, through that autistic Khan who lived a happy life with his Hindu wife and her son before the attacks and how people treated them afterwards leading to kill the boy. Khan’s journey to reach the president of the United States to deliver his wife’s message shows how unfairly Muslims are treated and how scared to death the Americans are of even mentioning the word ‘terrorist’. The moment he uttered the big T-word, although he preceded it with a ‘NOT’, everyone in the parade freaked out and he is dragged blind-folded into a nowhere undergoing a massive investigation until he is proven innocent when they found out through a recorded call in the FBI that he once reported an extremist he met in a mosque.
The funny thing from that perspective that they showed the George W. Bush was not a good president, regarding connecting with his own people that Khan was arrested in the era of Bush, but he was freed in the era of Obama, indicating the optimistic look the Americans have for the new president, or may be saying they are sorry for what Bush did to Iraq and the American soldiers he dragged into a war in Iraq.
That got me to:
What happened in Iraq? When? Why?
Before I start giving you what I found out, I want to state that the American media has never slacked not even in one TV show or a movie to falsely picture the American soldiers in Iraq as heroes who are actually defending a cause and turning the picture upside down that the American soldiers are the victims and vice versa.
Brothers and Sisters: Justin, who just came back from Iraq suffering and is psychologically disturbed.
Grey’s Anatomy: Dr. Hunt, who is clearly a total nut job that he even attacks his own girlfriend in his sleep choking her and during the show, he keeps having flashbacks from what happened in Iraq, how he lost friends, how he saved soldiers with non-medical material, how they are all courageous and heroic.
The most provocative series, which really hit a nerve of mine, is: Army wives, in which there is a scene a recruited soldier calls his parents after his best friend being killed by the Jihadi, the original citizens, the father ( a former soldier) asks immediately: ‘Did you get the sniper?’
For God’s sake, it is their own country. You, Americans! You are the enemy! Not them
You are the antagonist, not the protagonist
You are the bad guys, not the good guys
Well, back to my research!
The BBC produced a 4-episode series called; House of Saddam. I have not watched it yet, in the process to. If it had any new or useful info, promise! I will publish.
Bush invented a phrase: ‘Axis of Evil’, referring to Iran, North Korea and Iraq that he added just before invading in 2003 to support his alleges that they violated the UN agreement and they are developing Massive-destruction weapons and that they have a tyrant, a war criminal that originally they helped since Reagan’s reign and even before victimize Kuwait, Iran, and even his own Iraqi people.
Although, I am not saying that Saddam Hussein was a good guy. He was a real tyrant. For God’s sake, he got rid of the Kurdish Iraqi people by using the help of PMOI (The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran; which is religious leftist organization that advocated the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran and that was originally devoted to armed struggle against Shah of Iran- who was married to Princess Fawyza, sister of King Farouk) led by Maryam Rajavi to run them over with military tanks.
Yet, I do agree with my husband that executing Saddam Hussein on the first day of Eid Al-Adha (the Greater Bairam) is a big insult thrown at the face of each and every Muslim.
As the media plays an eminent role in blinding people from the truth, we shall never believe that someone called Mohamed Atta, an Egyptian engineer led the 9/11 attacks to the mighty twin towers of the world trade center and the Pentagon. Allegedly, he had 19 passports of all the terrorist hijackers like left in the airport or something referring to an Egyptian, 15 Saudi Arabian, 2 Emirati and a Lebanese. How stupid? If even I am plotting such a huge scheme, will I leave the passports for plain sight? How nuts of the FBI or whoever started such rumors?!
They even have a code name for something called; 20th hijacker since they are not even sure how many hijackers were responsible for the attacks. Funny! right?!
There is not even clear evidence that Al-Qaeda did anything. It is only their escape goat to which they stick any catastrophe they face and proudly transfer to the media-blinded Americans that they completed the puzzle in only few hours. Lol!
Final Statement:
I feel really sorry for the victims who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks, but for what it’s worth, I feel a big heartache for the Palestinians who still being murdered everyday by the Israeli, undergoing the harshest shapes of terrorism every minute of their miserable humiliation by occupation, and I cannot help feeling so sad, even grieving for the Iraqi who don’t even have a clue why they are occupied and why there are tanks moving around their country massacring people every single day.
