Former Guantanamo detainee returns home - 15-Dec-07

[MerciX1001]

Mashalah.You see how they still hold onto their faith and praise Allah. Even after 5 years of torture. Us muslims living in a comfortable life style need to start being grateful for what we have and start practicing our deen the way were meant to. I say this to myself too.

[dpremi1126]

Oh good American come forward and stop this crimes on innocent people at the name of terrorism and alqaeda. It's all just a game of Zionist Jews who are controlling and destroying USA and its image all over the world by ordering these types of crimes against Mus so that Mus could hate you all over the world and the Zionist Jews could continue the war on Muslims and destroy USA. Mus are not the enemy of USA. But Israel who is making Mus and USA enemy of each other for its own benefit

[umminow08]

america idiot..

israel clever..

they befriends..

help each other..

but..

till when..

till the usa land full of israel people,,,,

[umminow08]

America people is idiot..

hahahaha..

just waiting..

[Fatushka]

u know what i don't get u go to another country kidnap someone tourte them and then release them.its normal..and if somone from different country does that to usa person its a terriost and not acceptable...so lets see who is the real terror??? this man was tourte and release and he have no idea what was that for...God they are so hypricte

[outlorebiker]

If the "muslims" dont like the penal system in America or England then go back to your own country. If the people were born in England or America then take away their citizenship. They shouldn't be living on our lands if they're gona kill the very people they live alongside. If Muslim lands were so fantastic then go back were they'll cut you fukn hands off 4 stealing a loaf of bread. Bunch of paedophils.

[LionOfAllah1989]

Who are u to say where muslims can go and cannot. Ur just another racist. How can they go back to their own country when they're being kidnapped for no reason and then brought to the prisons to to get tortured for no reason. And muslims dont kill the ppl they live next to. Our religion is about peace...please dont listen to the media they are misinforming everybody. They create hatred towards the muslims so that everybody will think its okay to hate and kill the Muslims. This is the TRUTH!!!

[outlorebiker]

I'm no racist! It's your fanatical muslim clerics who preach hatred on the streets of europe that the media report on. The suicide bombers killing hundreds of innocent people that have nothing 2 do with the conflicts the media report on. Your religion may be about peace but the clerics and their fanatical followers that take up this "jihad" are abusing it. I don't see any muslims coming out on2 the streets condeming there acts or fellow clerics.

[LionOfAllah1989]

These "fanatical" muslim clerics are "fanatical" for a reason. They are witnessing their brothers and sisters (in Islam) being slaughtered and bombed (by u.s & Israel) for no apparent reason. This is why you see muslims angry all over the world. In Islam suicide alone is forbidden and bombing of INNOCENT muslim and non-muslims is also forbidden. These individuals that carry out these attacks are NOT following Islam.

[outlorebiker]

Islam is a religion not a country! These individuals (terrorists) have hijacked your religion yet many English and American born muslims continue to support their "brothers" on the streets. You can't tell me that a european or American born muslim has seen first hand the suffering that dos go on in the middle east. They may have read about it in the papers or is that just the media "missinforming" everyone again. They read the same papers as me.

[LionOfAllah1989]

We Muslims have the right to defend ourselves against the enemies. The enemies are those who invade our lands, kill,rape,bomb,abuse, ppl, and spread nothing but corruption throughout the land.

[outlorebiker]

And just how does an everyday muslim defend themselves? They take up acts of terrorism fulling the fire of hatred towards your faith. The people of the west don't support this "war" yet when a terrorist blows up a London Bus, A Spanish Train then we also have a right to defend ourselves. The people have nothing 2 do with this war it's the twisted governments that run the contries of the west. They are your enemy-not the people.

[bustergmaxx]

LionofAllah, you speak truth. A few of my mates (no where near religous) looked into inslam and felt it was the "way of the future", an honest socialism by self-rule. We need to understand VERY few are fucking the whole. Stand together, educated. We have emotions for a reason.

Outlore, your comments accuse yet self-evidently show a lack of personal foresight & maturity. Can we accept this is NOT OUR WAR. OUR FATHERS ARE NOT US. WE ALL WANT TO EAT, DRINK WATER.

peace to you all ;)

[FariaSean1]

@LionOfAllah1989

Iam also a muslim. I have to say, you're honestly one of the first muslims that actually understands the true meaning of Islam. & that is what i've been trying to tell people every single damn day. & i just wanted to say THANKS :)

[911insidejob81]

please STOP torture!!

it is so inhumane

imagine yourself in thier position

held with no court!!

and nazis tortured people too!!

[gungasc]

every country tortures ppl. You only know what gets posted on youtube. But you can only complain it online or else your country would imprison you, once they find you.

[peacechild61]

what causes all this trouble is F***ing ISLAM...religion of terror!

[sunnyahsan1]

no its not u just dont understand ure a stubborn racist christian , u have to know what a radical is.

[peacechild61]

Racist?? am black myself and from Sudan, you know nothing! have you lived nder muslims attack?NO! so shut ur mouth

[outlorebiker]

Your country is as barbaric as they come. These "terrorists" are luck they're under American rule. If they were in one of your prisions or under Islamic rule then they'd be beheaded just before a football tornament. Don't be calling people "racist christians" . Your own faith has a lot to answer 4.

[CihadExpress]

Asalamunalaikum wr wb Quran & Sunnah Allahu akbar Allah swt was just testing him Alhamdullillah he past Allahu akbar

[sunita12]

usa and jews are the real terroist...no matter how blind u areabout it...no human deserv this...pll have rights and u need to give those rights...their are inncont pll in guntanmo..

[petarro]

Fuck! 1:49... two Ghosts in the back!!!!

[MikailAlKazim]

americans are devils!

[cjodigo]

no fuck face.....Americans are standing up for their country and letting fucking towelheads know that we won't put up with you terroristic bullshit!  BOMBS AWAY!

[ismeme]

So you're okay with punishing innocent people for the crimes of a few? That's exactly what the 9/11 hijackers believed.

[sunnyahsan1]

suck my osama dick!

[solarnation]

Happy ending. Good. Let this be a lesson to any conspirators for Taliban or Al-Quaeda. If you go this route you could be subject to detention.

so what!

[300ZXturboXX]

This Honest man was in Jail for 5 fucking years, he lost 5 years and the US government cant tell him why they wasted 5 years of his life! What compensations was give to him, not that any amount of money will ever brings back a single nano second. Did he get a apologies from Mr Bush, US government. People get treated like stray animals and we American allow it. So what they aren't American. People have different views that's what makes us all an individual. My deepest sorry to this guy! Sorry!

[FariaSean1]

@300ZXturboXX

[docmorry]

This could be you or me or anyone under the new patriot act. America is no longer a Democracy. It has a gutted constitution and is in danger of becoming a police state.Note five years in prision with no rights. Check out Mitt Romneys position on Guantanamo. Check out the applause. Scary!!!!!!!

[elcapitano75]

I'm a citizen of the USA. Born and raised.

So it's ok to give our own citizens a fair and speedy trial, but any other country's citizen doesn't deserve that. You know what that means? It means, hey world, if you're not American, you're worthless. That's the message we are sending, and if we keep sending that message, guess what will happen, use your brain and think about it for a moment. Try not to hurt yourself.

[pakiman999]

ur a stupid idiotic twat mate u dum fuck u and ur stupid white racist kind will get wats coming u complete and utter fool

[o0abdo0o]

pakiman99 i think u completely misunderstood elcaptino75's comment. He is discouraging this.

Brother please read it properly :). And as a Muslim, you should not call ANYONE with cursing or racist words such as "stupid white" "f*** you".

Brother, elcaptino75 is explaining how this happening in Guantanamo is wrong and treating non-americans as worthless people has sever consequences which one should "think about for a moment".

So also try to improve the image of Muslims by replying nicely.

:)

[oclandestin]

Aswell as a fair trial, lawyers and freedom, the prisoners also deserve compensation and an apology. The USA should be so ashamed for the tragedy of detention without charge or trial.

[coyotedonkey]

there is no space for racists,blind empirialists worms,savages stuborn militants of injustice or intolerants of any kind in this video clip!!!

spread consciesness and truth!

send this video to all ur contacts.

[AgainstTortures]

emsudan

you are a very very bad example of human and

Sudanese !!!!

Sami and Adil were correcting the very very bad picture that you and your examples were showing us to the free ones round the worled !!!

Sami and Adil are hero's of SUDAN ... HOW you are ???

I THINK NOTHING >>>

How many Dollars did they pay for you ??

all the World are rejecting Guamanamo becuse it is not depend on any Law >>>

[emsudan]

Adil was probably a Terrorist in AFganastian many NOrthern Sudanese are Terroritst that is why the're killing people in Darfur now

[MustafaPresents]

I'm ashamed that my country of birth has become such an open and arrogant human rights abuser.

[Tobbias88]

What about Sami?

Everyone keep up the pressure.

Soon they will all be out...but it may be too late for Sami 345

[AgainstTortures]

dear EasyEs ,

the problem here is not about the situations of prisons or thier health... because if the US gov.t put them in SHERATON OF WASHINGTON , the guestion here : why you put them there ??? what is your poof ?? the justice and humanitary says : try them or release ???

[AgainstTortures]

dear 4951WEDDEL ,

you you not evil and we are nt terrorist but we say why Bush did not try them ??? we say : if your goverment does not let any where or any others to try US creminal solders .. WHY US GOV.T CONTINUES THEIR DETENTION WITHOUT COURT OR RELEASE ???

IF THE US GOV.T HAD ANY proof A GAINIST THEM.. WHY DOSE NOT TRY THEM ???

[4951WEDDEL]

Nice slanted story! If Guantanamo was so bad and we are so evil, then why let any of them go at all. Let's just take them out and shoot them in the back of the head. Better yet, let's saw off their heads for a YOUTUBE video while they are still alive. These men were captured for a reason, held for a reason, and release for a reason. They know it, but are not going to say.

[loved07]

And for those who say we should just vote better politicians in...um, we tried that in 2000, and Bush still got in office. We are just as frustrated as anyone else. There's no doubt that America has problems. It's just a mess, and the last thing we need to be doing is taking people's lives away from them!

[loved07]

How sad! Keep in mind that right here within the U.S.'s own borders, it has millions of lower income individuals (some guilty, some innocent) rotting within the booming prison industry. I don't support that BS nor these secret torture jails. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm American, but I never have and never will stand behind our brutal political system.

[EasyEs]

Cool I like other viewpoints. I believe most of the people in Gitmo deserve to be. I hope that those there by accident are released like this man was. As for conditions, they get good health care and Korans handed to them with gloves, and a much better diet than most people in Cuba, (that man didn't look starved). No substitute for freedom but it isn't a Gulag and he isn't Solzhenitsyn

[NubianPyankhi]

suck my black balls mother fucker

[pakepakeha]

I worry about the US government as much as I worry about the extreme islamic states. But only one of these has the "power" to do anything. When I was growing up I thought the USA was a fair and just country. I do not now. To put people in Prison with no trial is WRONG ...

[jasonlajoie]

Death to the CIA, vote for Ron Paul and see him kill the illegal agency and end all their atrocities.

[AgainstTortures]

WHY THEY ARE BEING PUNISHED ????????????

Show your proof !!!

Try us or set us free !!

Open all prisons connected the so called war on terror for internaional investigation

or

SHUT THEM DOWN NOW !!!

Keep media a way from politics

FREE SAMI AL HAJ now ???

WHY THEY ARE BEING PUNISHED ????????????

[binsaif]

The list gets longer every year.

[binsaif]

I see alot of people posting messages highly critical of America. And rightly so. However, I am absolutely certain that one of the many people who posted a message here today will end up in Guantanamo Bay someday. You will go to sleep in your blue pajamas and wake in an orange jumpsuit.

[Dogar230]

You're mad! God, that's awfully paranoid.

[binsaif]

According to what we know the CIA have kidnapped Muslims off the streets of America, Pakistan, Italy, Norway, Australia, Sweden, Tanzania, Macedonia, Eastern Europe. and sent them to Guantanamo. And these are just the kidnappings that they (the US Govt) have informed of us.

[binsaif]

They interrogate them for years with the most evil methods to torture. Only to finally realize years later that these people really did not know anything. They were just normal people who voiced their anger at US Foreign Policy. Then they set them free without even an apology.

[binsaif]

You say I am paranoid. The CIA have openly said that they 'MONITOR' a lot of websites critical of the US and kidnap people on that basis - considering them a potential threat. I'm not paranoid. You are naive.

[binsaif]

In 2003, Khalid El-Masri, a Kuwait-born citizen with German nationality, was detained by Macedonian agents in Republic of Macedonia. While on vacation in Macedonia, local police, apparently acting on a tip, took him off a bus, held him for three weeks, then took him to the Skopje airport where he was turned over to the CIA.

El-Masri says he was injected with drugs, and after his flight, he woke up in an American-run prison in Afghanistan.

[binsaif]

In April 2004, CIA Director George Tenet confirmed that El-Masri was being wrongfully detained. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice ordered his release in early May.

[bmodest]

America's war OF terror.

[pakepakeha]

How many eggs does Bush have to break before he is thrown into a small cell without a trial??

[kitayabi]

such injustice,five years in guantanamo for working for a charity group in north pakistan.

[CarsonRathe]

they say evil prevails when good men fail to act, what they ought to say is, evil prevails

[xartaz]

can you arrest a american in thier country and brought then to secret prison and if thy know it I'm 100% sure thy will declare a war in your country till you present thier citizen

[xartaz]

it is unjust to put a person for long years without trial..a suspect is remain innocent untill he is proven guilty and evidince is presented and witness for 24 hrs..and it is violation of country's soviriegnty to arrest thier citizen and brought them to other country without proper documentation or knowlege of thier citizen's

[dcupac]

america is the biggest monster the world has ever seen no country ruins peoples lives like them, if you are american i'm not trying to offend you but its just the way it is, i'm from europe and no 1 likes america there they might act nice but behinds their backs they talk about how they hate them, they are even worse then nazi germany

[trantrum]

Either is was guilty, or more likely, someone he knows sold him down the river to get the reward.

[hajqbvii]

Guantanamo is our Gulag....SHUT IT DOWN!

[colibri1]

Thank you for presenting this story so well. It gives me a bit of hope, despite the soulless behavior of Americans.

[sugarpuddin88]

Habeas corpus is a Constitutional right even for non-citizens

Thus, Guantanamo Bay is illegal to the UCMJ, Geneva Convention and both US & International Law

Prisoners in a secret legal system for years without charges! Only a few of the thousands have been charged

Six years, the government has been able to secure just one conviction, and that was for Australian David Hicks, a kangaroo skinner who pleaded guilty and is now serving the last weeks of his nine-month sentence in Australia.

[sugarpuddin88]

Unlike at Guantanamo Bay, the Red Cross was allowed continual inspections of Nazi Concentration Camps

Many Guantanamo prisoners have just disappeared; others sent to countries for additional torture & interrogation

Suppose UK did same to US citizen it felt sent money to IRA; China or Burma said an American supported a rebel, kidnapped them off the streets of Indianapolis, put on a plane, held him for years in a secret facility, hidden from the Red Cross. How would the U.S. government react?

[sugarpuddin88]

A perpetual state of war, War on Terror, serves only as an excuse for domestic tyranny

When the country that is supposed to be the world's leading protector of human rights justifies torture, solitary confinement, holding without charges, then why should others extend the courtesy to us?

We have diminished America's moral standing & influence in the world; hindered, not aided, the fight against terrorism; and, handed America's enemies a victory they could never have achieved on their own

[wiskawind]

Impeachment petition for Cheney/ go to

wexlerwantshearings . com

Representatives Robert Wexler (D-FL), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), all Members of the House Judiciary Committee, Wexler has launched an ambitious online effort to mobilize support for immediate impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney! Act now! Spread the word for support, as big media won't! Sign the petition, and pass on information! We have to stop this madness!

[rumi1207]

Gitmo should be destroyed

[Darwinek]

You will never see such reports on American media.

[oromoo]

Whether Sami will be next is in the hands of Allah(swt)and we all need to remember him in our du'a. However, what we need to discuss now is how we are going to hold accountable the 4th Reich US government for the suffering of the brothers. That, is what we need to discuss right now. What goes around comes around!!!

[gangreneday]

The best way to undermine the imperial government the US has right now is to encourage its citizens to support new leadership, namely someone like Ron Paul who doesn't believe in foreign intervention, and that all human beings have inalienable rights endowed by their creator that no president or congress has the right to disregard.

[gangreneday]

It is truly a travesty what has happened to the people in GTMO. Please remember that it is the government of the US that is running wild and that there are still mostly good people in the US today.

[oromoo]

gangreneday,

Do you honestly believe the next US government will bring Bush, Cheny, Rumsfeld, wolfwitz....to international tribunal of war crimes, torture, crimes against humanity, and the related offenses? In my opinion it is only then enemity b/n the US and Muslims across the world is solved and a new peaceful beginning started..

[gangreneday]

I agree. There's little hope of justice for the Bushes and Cheneys in the world, not by any legal means, anyway.  Not right now. And violence, will only give them more power. The only way to strip them of their power is through peaceful means. If not, Giuliani, Clinton, or whoever will just take their place using the violence as an excuse to wield more power.

[oromoo]

well my friend, it is only logical that the victim would hold the harborer of the perpetrator equally responsible. the same ethical and legal reasoning is applied in the legal system to punish a co-criminal

[gangreneday]

Who is harboring? They are in power. I'm saying get them OUT of power so that we can rebuild. Once they are out of power then, and only then can there be justice. Anything else is vigilantism.

[oromoo]

gangreneday, i meant if we don't give away these criminals for an international tribunal after the next election, then we are just harboring them and should certainly expect 911 like attacks or individual attacks on US citizens world wide

[gangreneday]

Maybe. I think it's more likely that once we've pulled out our troops from all over, stopped sanctioning and invading countries, and focused on leading by example than by force, attacks like 9/11 against Americans will be less abundant. However, you're absolutely right. As long as Bush and Cheney are not held accountable, Americans everywhere will be blamed, justly or unjustly.

[jammoexii]

I agree with everything you say until the comma (well, maybe not "best" but it's pretty close). However, Ron Paul is totally unacceptable. Not only is he batshit insane... withdrawing from the UN? Are you fucking high? But he's totally immoral, not to mention hypocritical.

[gangreneday]

Well you're entitled to your opinion, but to me it sounds like you don't know a lot about him. The last words I'd use to describe Ron Paul is immoral, much less hypocritical. You always know where he stands on an issue and I have no idea what's immoral about keeping people free and out of wars. As for the UN, it's not like it's an elected government held accountable to anyone. Why would anyone defend it? All the UN does is undermine actually democratically elected governments.

[MAldoseri]

Hope it would be Sami next time!
