"It seems that the Palestinian President is "dancing with the wolves" by trying to negotiate and mediate between them to end the lawlessness, while the wolves are attacking his flock at night. President Abbas should reconsider this tactic. If the wolves attack and threaten his flock, he should find a way to protect them from the disobeying wolves and not to appease the wolves. Ultimately he has to fight those who oppose law and order. He has to work on putting an immediate end to the lawlessness."

"All this could have been easily avoided, if the only superpower in the world had not been led by a tenth-rate politician; if policy had not been shaped by neo-conservatives blinded by a fanatical obsession; if Tony Blair, who should have known better, had not been an incorrigible opportunist."

This event, which drew a massive crowd, called for justice for the “poor and disenfranchised” in the country. Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam was the primary speaker.

"The reason for de-linking Arabs from the rest of the Muslims is that Arabs are just 15 percent of the total Muslim population. Arabs are not only in minority, but also politically inactive and segregated in different fiefdoms."

"The WOT juggernaut rumbles on with no end in sight. Civil liberties have become a casualty in the capitals of America, Britain and most western states on the pretext of 'sacrifice', while personal security of the 'other' - who in most cases happens to be adherents of Islam - remains in perpetual jeopardy."

"...people who’ve been incarcerated are apt to know something that American media outlets rarely acknowledge: Beyond the glare of publicity and outside of camera range, people in police custody and behind bars are vulnerable to capricious and dangerous acts of violence by tax-funded employees."
