Get over Guantanamo already…

Arab and Muslim prisons are far worse than Guantanamo can ever be…

Re: UK sailors captured at gunpoint

Can you somehow prove how prisoners are made to live in cages in Arab or Muslim prisons? Or endure anything what the Gitmo prisoners go through everyday?

What the hell does this have to do with Iran kidnapping 15 sailors off the high seas? I would far rather be in Guantanamo than any prison in Pakistan. Ever read the Amnesty description of the torture and deaths in your average Pakistani prison? But, as an AntiAmericanist, the world revolves around your ability to demonize the US. So have at it boy.

Tsk, Tsk, how it hurts when someone shows the mirror to the Americans. Don't talk about our hostage taking centre, don't tell us how we ill treat prisoners there, we hold high moral ground and teach the whole world how to do things. Take lessons from us watch us in action at Gitmo or Abu Ghraib, that is America at its best, the highly trained and disciplined army at its best. Your anti Muslim rhetoric never ceases, but than you have grown up watching Fox news and CNN.

Plenty

Read Amnesty International or any other Human Rights group on Prisons in Arab and Muslim countries.

Arab and Muslim prisons are worse than Gulags of the Soviet Union in the 1930's

Sure, because the Free Press in Arab and Muslim Countries ruthlessly exposes such atrocities to hold regimes to account!

No wait.......

Never mind.

You hate Muslims in general and Arabs in particular. Isn't it?

Re: UK sailors captured at gunpoint

Why don't you provide some links to backup your story?

However, the educated and world wise population seems to be more concerned with Guantanamo, as it is the first time in history that innocents picked up en masse for no due reason and no hope of fair and just representation, from 11 year old to an 89 year old man...They are made to endure tortures and humiliation beyond human capacity...

Such treatment of civilians by a government has not been seen or heard since the first world war and second world war...

It can be still less compared to what the US soldiers did in Vietnam putting entire villages to flame with women and children still trapped inside...

I believe the Iranians did a very professional and just job of handling these POWs...This is what can be expected from a civilization as old as Persia...Grace is in their blood...

Here is the link. If you actually think that there is no prisoner abuse that goes in the Middle East then you have very little understanding of the world.

No its mostly because its the first time that USA has done something like this. And since most of the Arab/Islamic world beleives that USA is controlled by the Jews, they just thought its a new way to lash at Jews and Israel by hitting USA hard on Guantanamo.

I dont know about that.

Look at the treatment of Algerians and Vietnamese by the French during the 1950’s, the torture of Arab Islamists by Egypt and other Arab countries or the Al-Hama massacare by Syria in 1982 where they wiped out 20,000 people.

Or the way Pakistan massacred thousands of Bengalis in 1971, or the way Khymer Rouge killed 1/3 of the entire Cambodia’s population in the 1970’s, or the way Soviet Union brutally crushed uprisings in Hungary in 1956 or Czech Republic in 1968, killing thousands and sending thousands more to Gulags in Siberia where they perished.

Or the massacres in Yugoslavia and Rwanda in the 1990’s. Or the civil wars in Central America in the 1980’s.

So I can go on and on and on…So get a reality check.

Well thats a dangerous mix. Sending 19 year old soldiers to fight an unknown enemy half the world away. But kudos to USA for they investigated and punished the guilty troops. Where as Lebanon has yet to punish the Christian Phalgist who massacred 2,000 Palestinians at Shabra and Shatilla Refugee Camps in September 1982. Their Leader Michael Aoun is living in a mansion in Beirut where the rest of the Arab world is obsessed with Sharon whose only support for this operation was he was foolish enough to trust that the Christian Militia will act in an organized way.

I believe Iran acted very foolishly and again demonstrated how such an irrational regime cannot be trusted with Nuclear Weapons.
