9/11 a Muslim terrorists' attack? Ha ha! What a big sick joke! Yeah Americans, blame it all on the Muslim world! Btw, those first Americans @Pine Ridge, are they suffering bcoz the Muslims stole everything that they had or those greedy white bastards? Yeah, your white assses greedy forefathers! You know that for a fact don't you white people???

[oclandestin]

@68noraa ... It's ironic you're angry about American blaming things on Muslims, when you seem to be blaming everything on white people... Why don't you address your own prejudices?

[torbizlo]

oclandestin...all 3 of ur comments make perfect sense. good on u.

[oclandestin]

Thanks. Wasalaam : )

Mikhah - You're missing the point about the case in this video, that the US military has indiscriminately attacked and killed Pakistani civilians, not the Taliban. And additionally, the Taliban are not Al-Qaida. Regardless of what you feel about their beliefs, they are ordinary Afghans defending their country against a foreign military occupation and puppet government propped up by western powers who have their own agenda for the region.

[oclandestin]

Mikhah - It's odd that you condemn the so-called Taliban for "turning Muslims to kill innocent Muslims", when that is happening in virtually every single Muslim country, yet you show no condemnation of them or non-Muslims killing innocent Muslims. Perhaps you also want the US military to invade every Muslim country and kill random Muslims without being charged or tried in a court of law, on the off chance that they have committed a crime. So much for advocating justice.

If the media had reported this, people would have had very diffrent views regarding the recent terror attacts in pakistan. Once again the corporate media keeps the truth from us.

I never liked Barak Obama from the start. He has nothing in common with the advancement of Afro-Americans. Most american Blacks cannot see this. Too many people think that just because he is non-white, his policies will also be non-white. Nothing could be further from the truth. Obama is just a puppet of Zionists and european-americans.

[68noraa]

Aren't Americans as well as the world fooled when they put Obama (a black ass) in the white house?  Yes indeed! Nothings change especially the fate of the first Americans @Pine Ridge. They are left to die without any help from the US govt. Doestn't matter who sits in the white house!:(

Obama is just another puppet of the American bourgeois. He is a little bit less country a a little bit more rock and roll, but he wont change a thing. American imperialist dreams are more alive than ever.

[mutattu]

I don't think we should be too surprised that Obama has continued policies of the previous US administration - albeit under the cover of different rhetoric.

If you examine his career prior to all this the connections with the 'right' people and organisations are there - but obscured by the anti-Obama media hype contiguous to the election.

Ironically their rumour-mongering acted as an effective camouflage for Obama hiding his establishment credentials from supporters on the left.

its pointless to talk to you because you need a lot of education on this topic. however, do some research if the Muslims are the first to fight or are they fighting back to protect themselves. you really don't have much knowledge about Islam and Muslims.

[MsRK01]

there is no evidence and report produced by the american government that clearly shows that the Muslims killed the innocents in 9-11. however people in US are doing reseach on this topic and many has come to know that 9-11 was planned by their own zionists.

[MsRK01]

First Al Qaida doesn't exists, do some research on it and you will find it out. second taliban are those whom america supplied weapons and all the support to fight against Russia. when the cold war finished, america left afghanistan to tobalibans and didn't do anything to clean up its mess.
