Guantanamo has nothing to do with slavery, What the hell are you talking about?

[adycousins]

its obviously beyond your capacity to see the links.

[AeonHack]

I am looking at the description - no links, looking for annotations or captions, "not available".. Hmm... Yeah.... did you mean "mental capacity"? Or were you referring to an fault on my computers or Youtube's part? You seem very passionate about this video yet at one part it speaks about hate in the world which is something you, yourself are projecting right now with your harsh, pointless insults. I do not agree with what probably IS going on at Guantanamo, but it is not slavery. Thank you.

[adycousins]

Hatred? what the hell are you talking about? The speaker has spent years in a cage stripped of his humanity and denied his basic human rights after being kidnapped, shackled and transported acroos the atlantic against his will. Your response is to ridicule his linking of this with the practice of the slave trade. Get it now?

[OneRadRudeboy]

why can't something like THIS be on the front page?

[MusliMaWaRRiOr]

mashallah may allah have mercy on him.

i jst finished reading his book like an hour ago...it was great mashallah but its even better to be able to hear him speak his opinions.

As salamu alaikum. We urgently need people to sign the e-petition. We have an opportunity to help brother Babar in the UK. He is the longest detained without trial British citizen, now in his eight year behind bars. He is fighting against extradition to the US. We need 100,000 signatures by 10/11/11 and Parliament will debate putting Babar on trial in the UK. Please visit freebabarahmad website for the link. Also, on Youtube watch “Life is One Big Road – Put Babar Ahmad on Trial in the UK.”

they will never show anything like this in the media

[Hoorsbarst]

I heard this man speak to an audience in Jersey on behalf of Amnesty International ?I will never never forget it. I cant even speak to my friends about this because they just dont want to hear it. They are totally ignorant to the real situation and are happy to accept anything they're fed by the media about terrorism. When will people waken up?

[fuckamerica109]

@AeonHack you're right it's worse than slavery

[runhorun]

@adycousins Peace in the middle east? I can laugh at that because it all depends upon the people if they fight and want peace. Peace cannot be imposed by sure will and military might. It seems like "whites" or "anglos" always succeed to pick apart every nationality and racial group apart, hence the word "white devil". Its like a game of tag and now its the turn of the muslims.

[runhorun]

@cooljoeshmo LOL, good point. Where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

[cooljoeshmo]

What some people fail to realize is that this is a win-win situation for the US govt. and the corporate world controlling it. By treating people this way you actually create terrorists even where there were none, who if then act out of JUSTIFIED rage fuel the so-called war on terrorism. At the same time, the American people feel that they are being protected when such instances occur, while rights are being stripped away from them. Like I said, a win-win situation. This war is against you too!
