UK Muslims reject 'Neo-Conservative-Zionist' plans for Iraq
British Muslims have called on Prime Minister Tony Blair to distance himself from US plans to set up a 'neo-Conservative-Zionist' led interim administration in Iraq. "The imminent announcement stating that pro-Israeli retired General Jay Garner is to head an interim Iraqi administration, coupled with crass threats against Syria and Iran, only serve to confirm the worst fears which assert the real objective of the war against Iraq was to promote US-Israeli geo-political interests," secretary general of Muslim Council of Britain Iqbal Sacranie warned. Oh, dear! 'Neo-Conservative-Zionist' plots! How insidious! The umbrella organisation from Britain's 1.8 million Muslims said it was crucial for Blair to ensure that the United Nations, and it alone, is empowered to administer Iraq for the shortest possible interim period before full control is returned to the Iraqi people. "We do not want to see Britain being viewed in the Muslim world and beyond as an accomplice to this neo-Conservative-Zionist design for a post-Saddam Middle East," Sacranie said. "We'd rather see it ruled by crooks." Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-12 |
