* There was an ordinary man named Abdel-Rahman, a person reside in a country side in Afghanistan for most of his life; no body knows anything about him, suddenly he became an international figure and a life proof of the intolerance of Islam.

That’s is when the world media started to follow his steps and show his victimization, even the leaders of the free world started to look after him, defending him from the Islamic terrorism and intolerance.

Afghani government found the out of this, not by correcting the wrong, but by making it double wrong, it proofs the so called “The Intolerance of Islam” and releasing Abdel-Rahman based on mental illness.

And now, Abdel-Rahman is living free safe in Italy, Freedom Land…!

* There is another ordinary man named Abdel-Rahman, he is from a country side also but he has been hold in one of the prisons of one of the friends and so called “Islamic” countries somewhere in the, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan…. All those Abdel-Rahman no body know anything about them, even no body would care about their suffering.

They are also victims, the victims of the state terrorism and intolerance, that intolerance that forbid them from practicing their religions the way they understand it and would like to live it;

The world media have been engaged in those Abdel-Rahmans story but differently, and the leaders of the free world are participating in this mater by helping in making it worst for those Abdel-Rahmans, to insure that they will never be free and that there government will punish them harshly.

     

This is what so called “The New International System”, where double standard is the way and the principal above all principals. When Abdel-Rahman that chose to be Christian and it is his right, they fought for him but when Abdel-Rahman chose to be Muslim imagining that it is hisright, they fought him.

We have to clarify the issue of the freedom of religion, it is for sure not any bodies’ right to force any person to practice a specific religion whatever it is, and from my understanding of Islam, people have the right to believe in it or not, and there is no evidence anywhere that Islam would permit killing person for leaving it, Islam believe that judgment is in God’s Hand, and in spite that many of the Muslim Scholar  repeated this many time, our honest media insist in presenting their version of understanding Islam without proof, just to show “The Intolerance of Islam”. This would be a result of ignorance or bad intension and both are inexcusable.

  

The issue is not only Abdel-Rahman, the issue is a complete set of actions and reaction to create an enemy, isn’t it a new version of “Crusader” or “The Holy War”. It is typical, ignorance leaders fall in the hand of greedy business both controlling government, media and all needed resources, brain washing ordinary people with the claim that Islam is the real threat to the western civilization, the civilization that have been build on the Judo-Christian principals so let us defend it, and the proof is very easy, some empty slogans; “Islam is against freedom of speech”, “Islam against women’s rights”, “Muslims are refusing building of churches”, “Islam is an obstacle in front of the moderation and democracy”. So Jewish and Christian should stand united against Islam and Muslims, isn’t it the Zionism movement, Christian and Jewish Zionism.

Who is fighting who…? They mixed all the papers and turn the principals upside down and legitimize the double standard.

When the municipal of Kiewit refused the permit for a church, every single paper in the west was singing and dancing the same old song “The Intolerance of Islam and Muslims”, but when Rome, Madrid, Barcelona,… and Montréal refused a permit for a mosque, no body spook about it and even some of them defend it as a mater of zoning and planning that has nothing to do with religious intolerance.

       

When Abdel-Rahman chose to be Muslim, we have to fight him, he is terrorist, fundamentalist, should be denied any rights, in Gautanamo, and in the prisons of our friends the moderate Muslim countries. But when Abdel-Rahman chose the Christianity, we have do defend his rights and give him refugee some where, Italy as example

Speaking about the double standard of the so called free countries, do not victimize the other side of the story, the corrupted governments, but the reality show that those corrupted governments do not practice the double standard because they do not recognize any right, no people have rights, period.

Religious freedom, is right and no body or government or a religious authority have the right to deny it, but this freedom is not the only freedom we should support, this freedom is the part of set of freedom of choice, food, cloth, work, movement and political participation, include the rights of people of self-determination, the rights of the people in resisting the occupation. Freedom is not exclusive for specific people and/or specific set of freedoms.

The new international system that has been called “Globalization” which is a corporation of corruption, greetings and power will not be overturn unless we people come together and understand that religious and secular movements have to come together to defend people rights, they are both have to stand in the same side of the battle and help establish the new order of people.

Until then please notes that;

1.      All oppressed people have the exit from their suffering; your exit is in the hand of the Italian Ex-Prime Minster Silvio Berlusconi, so do not miss this opportunity.

2.      For those whom fighting for the freedom of the Afghani people, the so called “the coalition of the freedom”.  Did you make any difference in Afghanistan or any other country, or you make it worst? Do you know the difference between Taliban and Krazai? Abdel-Rahman only, know the answer.
