Good Luck to Nato and Afghan Troops for Operation Moshtarak

Monday, February 8th, 2010

While the ‘peace movement’ in the UK seem to need little excuse to oppose the actions of the UK government; or even the US, Israeli, Russian, Chinese or other western and eastern countries; they seem very quiet when it comes to opposing Islam’s many wars around the world, or even protesting against Islamic mistreatment of its own citizens.

Bridge on the River Kwai Syndrome

The ‘peace movement’ support for the Islamic Fundamentalist view that Islam is an innocent victim in all its conflicts around the world provides a second opinion that can only help extremist attempts to radicalise the Muslim youth in the UK.  The BBC starts a three part investigation into the extent of radical ideas in the Muslim UK population tonight (Monday, February 8th).

The ‘peace movement’ seem to have what I call the Bridge on the River Kwai syndrome.  In the film, The Bridge on the River Kwai, a British colonel in a Japanese prisoner of war camp got so engrossed in building a bridge for the Japanese that he initially tried to stop an attempt to blow up the bridge by his fellow prisoners.

The War in Afghanistan

The same seems to be true with the ‘peace movement’ in the UK.  They seem to be so used to fighting Islam’s wars for it that they have lost their ‘peace and equality’ ideology  and started supporting the spread of ‘war and inequality’ by Islam around the world.

The ‘peace movement’ should examine what they are supporting when they oppose the ‘liberation of Afghanistan’.  For my own part, I hope Nato’s declared rationale for the war is true, and it can bring a better society for the Afghan people.

This video on the BBC was a reminder of what Nato are fighting against in Afghanistan.  I don’t know if this Afghan girl’s testimony about the Taliban kidnapping, brainwashing and forcing children into suicide bombing is true, but her accusastions about the Taliban do not seem out of place with their ideology and previous behaviour.

The Taliban ideology is not native to Afghanistan and I don’t think the people deserve it. 

Barack Obama should be Afghanistan’s Che Guevara, not the Taliban Leadership

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

My article on Cuba may surprise some, as many people considered me ‘right-wing’ when I dared to challenge multicultural fascism during the Blair years.

Multiculturalism Takes Over Socialism

Anybody who dared to question the spreading of a doctrine (Islamic Fundamentalism) that has been used to enslave women across the world was considered ‘right-wing’, as the political spectrum in Britain was re-formatted around race rather than equality.

Many who considered themselves ’left-wing’ chose to ignore the small matter of ‘women’ and support regimes that no more believe in ‘true equality’ than the South African apartheid government did.

Che Guevara and Barack Obama

Che Guevara was ultimately killed by the CIA, but I hope he would be supporting the allied effort to bring democracy and equality to Afghanistan rather than the Taliban.

From what I know about him, Che believed in equality for everybody, not just men.

Afghanistan: the Future

I hope for the Afghan people of all faiths, ethnicities and genders that they get a leadership worthy of the sacrifices made for them.
