| UK Muslims reject 'Neo-Conservative-Zionist' plans for Iraq |
| 2003-04-12 |
| 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." |

| #6 In terms of the administration of Iraq: This is non-sense, and more pointedly anti-Israel and more hate of Israel-a representative free government in their midst. Its quite a description isn't it, a neo conservative and Zionist plan to govern Iraq. Personally, It wouldn't hurt if it meant self rule, representative government and a free market economy for Iraq. Something, I take it Mr. Sacrinie loaths. |

| #3 You are right on Cyber Sarge! The Paleos will always remain Paleos until they get rid of the trash at the top and have real, honest, leadership that can compromise and work out real solutions. Getting rid of the UN leeches will also help, instead of being wards of the court, so to speak. |

| #1 They reason that the UN has done such a great job takning care of the Arabs in the past. Why just look at the 'temporary' refugee camps that they set up in Lebenon, Gaza, and west bank. These people need new leadership. |
