| The "Bring A Smile to a Muslim Prisoner" Campaign | |
| 2003-11-18 | |
"About 80 children from a mosque madrassah in London, UK, have made Eid cards for the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay as part of Cageprisoner.com’s Bring A Smile to a Muslim Prisoner Campaign," according to CagePrisoners.com. Lest anyone think the group’s aims are humanitarian, the page states: "Once Muslim children around the World begin to get involved and write Eid Cards to America’s so-called ’illegal combatants,’ it will be a massive set back to America’s ’hearts and minds’ campaign in both the Muslim and non-Muslim World."

| #7 heres something from healingiraq (a blogger whos no grand ayatollah - my impression is hes pretty secular) "Huge anti-terrorism demonstrations were held in Nassiriyah yesterday by students association condemning the attacks on the Italian force carrying signs such as 'No to terrorism. Yes to freedom and peace', and 'This cowardly act will unify us'. I have to add that there were similar demonstrations in Baghdad more than a week ago also by students against the bombings of police stations early this Ramadan. I hope the demonstrations advocates that bugged me are satisfied now. There are also preparations for anti-terror demonstrations before Id (end of Ramadan holidays)." |

| #6 Thanks LH. I would sure like to see other Moderate Muslims™ besides an 82 year old chap with a weak ticker take up the cause. He has nothing to lose now, so he can say it like he sees it, and that is a good thing. |

| #4 Thanks for the tip, LH! Here's the article he cited. It's refreshing to read about a truly moderate Muslim, much less one who's a Grand Ayatollah. |

| #3 Take hope Paul. heres something from Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri of Iran. via the WaPo. 'I feel irritated whenever I hear this slogan, 'Death to America' or 'Down with America,' " said Montazeri, key architect of the theocracy that he now fights with all the energy an 82-year-old with a heart condition can muster. "I believe," he said, "that the 300 million people of North America are mostly religious people, hardworking people." ' |

| #2 I do not have much hope of winning the Muslims' hearts and minds™. It is so disheartening to see the Muslim grownups twisting up the minds of the next generation, so they can sink further down in the dustbin of history. Pretty sad, if you ask me. |
