i don’t call this reason for hope: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/21/washington/21policy.html

Siraaj

I hope the author realizes that they will have to face Allah SWT for what they have written in the article, especially if it is grounded in ignorance- i.e. the individual has not studied international relations; specifically policies of Zbigniew Brzezinski, the most influential mentor to Obama.

I want to see a thank you letter when Pakistan is fully attacked.

la ilaha illAllah. hasbunAllaho, wa Nay’mal Wakeel.

While this is not justification, I do kind of see why Obama is being so careful about these things… the pressure of making a mistake and letting lose a terrorist who later hurts America will literally destroy Obama. There is no doubt that the pressure and fear of unintended consequences is clouding his good judgement.

On a different note, I was going to write up a post on this, but since you brought up the issue around Obama, I’d like to jump back to the entire discussion about the attacks in Pakistan… who should we really thank? Obama or the Pakistani government?

In the face of clear evidence that the Pakistani intelligence/military and definitely the government is involved with these attacks, how is this different from Turkey’s attack on the PKK for instance? And if Pakistan itself is cooperating, and apparently agrees with the US that they are going after terrorists, then what? Finally, if there are indeed terrorists from Al-Qaeda hiding in this region, and Pakistan too wants to get rid of them, then what? I think the complexity of Pakistani operations should give us some pause… when you have friends like Zardari, who needs enemies? On the other hand, as a Pakistani-American, I do not want my motherland to become a sanctuary for Al-Qaeda or other terrorist organizations (organizations that target civilians, not referring to freedom-fighters like the Uighurs, Uzbeks, etc.). wallahualam

More to thank Obama for – seeing the wisdom in President Bush’s policies!

Siraaj

Why stop there, let’s sacrifice all the lives of Muslims in all the lands EXCEPT U.S of A, so that Obama can be glorified.

Why stop there either? let’s say “Hail Obama! you are the one to show us the way to Jannah!”

Let’s also say “Do whatever you want with is, we will still thank you!”

While we are at it, let’s also start worshipping him. Why not? If we can run with the speed of sound in gratitude towards him just because he said “we are closing Guantanamo” and hasn’t yet done that, with many questions still dangling over our head like what will happen to the prisoners, are they going to be released or not, so on and so forth, then why not go all the way to the end?

The order hasnt even been carried out yet. One year, and they can change the order in an hour notice. If these prisoners are brought to court in the USA, By Allaah they will not get fair judgement, let alone fair treatment, and I would be waiting to see how many of the authors of this site get up to support those muslims.

By Allaah I ask u, do u people have any mercy towards ur brothers and sisters in Islam? Any, at all??

The ones mercilessly slaughtered in Gaza, while Obama kept silent and swung his Golf club in Hawaii?? Do u have any sympathy for those poor Afghans being slaughtered as Obama sends more troops to increase their slaughter?

“I just WISH we would actually “listen” to the point of the post before trying to bury it in a heap of unrelated chatter? Is justice to the author, to the post, to the human being too much to ask?” – amad

Yes! the death of Gazans and Afghans is unrelated. Yes! it is unrelated indeed. Yes! the closing of one prison, and the subsequent opening of countless others we have no idea about (including the good old ones like Abu Ghuraib) is indeed unrelated.

Do u keep any count of how many civilians they have killed in Afghanistan, as Obama promises more of that?? u people bury urself in the sand of “US media” desert, do u have any idea whats going on the rest of the world? everything u say seems so “bound within the borders of USA”!!

Ajeeb

Did I miss u utter, in this forum, a single word against these murderers??

Did I miss Obama saying: We are not gonna support, finance and help in possible ways Israel in killing the Muslims in Filistine anymore?

How can u say even a single word in support of these SCUMS OF THE EARTH, If u have an atom weight of humanity in ur heart?

I challenge u, the authors of these forums, to sit on your prayer mats in the luxury and comfort of ur homes and ask yourself, what have u done to ur hearts? do u not see how blinded u have become to the sufferings of this Ummah? Do u not feel any pain at all? Do u not see u are dipped a hundred feet in deception of Shaitaan?

Do u not realise that the words u are uttering today in support of these murderers will testify against you on Yawmul Qiyaamah?

Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.
Nay! Surely, they (evil-doers) will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.
Then, verily they will indeed enter and taste the burning flame of Hell.
Then, it will be said to them: “This is what you used to deny!”

Fear Allah, and fear the evil of ur deeds, and words that have come out from the mind to the public, are indeed deeds.
