Still from a Fox News video of Iraqi military forces assaulting Camp Ashraf. This incident took place despite fresh pledges by Baghdad to treat the Iranian dissidents humanely and to protect them. U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry rightly described the attack as a “ massacre ” while former governor Howard Dean called the Iraqi prime minister a “ mass murderer .” The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights “condemned” the attack and the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq ( UNAMI ) expressed “deep concern.” यह घटना बगदाद द्वारा इस बात की प्रतिज्ञा लिये जाने के बाद घटी कि ईरानी विद्रोहियों की रक्षा की जायेगी और उनके साथ मानवीय ढंग से व्यवहार होगा। अमेरिका सीनेट के विदेश व्यवहार समिति के अध्यक्ष जान केरी ने ठीक ही इसे “ जनसंहार” की संज्ञा दी है जबकि पूर्व राज्यपाल हावर्ड डीन ने इराक के प्रधानमंत्री को “ जनसंहारक” बताया है। संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ की मानवाधिकार समिति के उच्चायुक्त ने इस आक्रमण की निंदा की है और इराक के लिये संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ के सहायक मिशन ने इस घटना पर गम्भीर चिंता व्यक्त की है।

Although the October Surprise theory had now ripened, it remained the guilty pleasure of die-hard conspiracy theorists. Only when the New York Times on 15 April 1991 devoted an exceptional two-thirds of its opinion page to this thesis did it become a public issue. The author of this article, Gary Sick, brought to the topic an establishment pedigree (navy captain, Columbia University Ph.D., Ford Foundation program officer, Human Rights Watch board member) as well as the credibility of having served as principal White House aide for Iran during the Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis. Sick alleged that “individuals associated with the Reagan-Bush campaign of 1980 met secretly with Iranian officials to delay the release of the American hostages until after the U.S. election. For this favor, Iran was rewarded with a substantial supply of arms from Israel.” Sick also raised the possibility that George H. W. Bush was one of those Americans, thereby impugning the legitimacy of at least one subsequent Republican president. ईरानी (यनर जमशीद हाशमी , अहमद हेदिराई , हाउसंग लैवी, हामिद नकाशान,) अमेरिकी (रिचर्ड बाबेयान,रिचर्ड बेरेंके, विलियम हरमैन, ओसवाल ली विंटर हेनिरिक रप और गुंथर रूसबाचेर ) और तो और दक्षिणी अफ्रीकी ( डिर्क सोटेफेबरग ) के इन लोगों ने न सिर्फ कहानी की पुष्टि की बल्कि इसके समर्थन में उन्होंने कुछ बुश को प्रस्तुत किया जिसके बदौलत यह साबित किया जा सकता है कि ऐसा हुआ होगा ।

What is one to make of these initiatives? First, some history. Precedents exist from an earlier era, when intolerant Christian governments forced Muslims to convert, notably in 16 th -century Spain , and others strongly encouraged conversions, especially of the elite, as in 16 th - and 17 th -century Russia. In modern times, however, with freedom of expression and religion established as basic human rights, efforts to protect against intolerance by banning the Koran, Islam, or Muslims have failed. ऐसे हमलों का क्या कारण है ? प्रथम कुछ इतिहास। आरम्भिक दौर से कुछ उदाहरण अस्तित्वमान है जब असहिष्णु ईसाई सरकारों ने मुसलमानों को धर्मान्तरण के लिए बाध्य किया ( विशेष रूप से सोलहवीं शताब्दी में स्पेन में ) तथा अन्य लोगों ने कठोर ढंग से धर्मान्तरण को प्रोत्साहित किया विशेष रूप से कुलीन वर्ग का ( रूस में सोलहवीं- सत्रहवीं शताब्दी में ) यद्यपि आधुनिक समय में अभिव्यक्ति और धर्म की स्वतन्त्रता एक मौलिक अधिकार के रूप में स्थापित हुआ है परन्तु कुरान, इस्लाम और मुसलमानों पर प्रतिबन्ध लगाने सम्बन्धी असहिष्णुता के प्रयासों के विरूद्ध अभियान स्पष्ट रूप से असफल रहे हैं।

Edward Said , university professor, calls the U.S. policy in Iraq a “grotesque show” perpetrated by a “small cabal” of unelected individuals who hijacked U.S. policy. He accuses “George Bush and his minions” of hiding their imperialist grab for “oil and hegemony” under a false intent to build democracy and human rights. Said deems Operation Iraqi Freedom “an abuse of human tolerance and human values” waged by an “avenging Judeo-Christian god of war.” This war, he says, fits into a larger pattern of America “reducing whole peoples, countries and even continents to ruin by nothing short of holocaust.” एडवर्ड सेड - विश्वविद्यालय के प्रोफेसर ने इराक में अमेरिकी नीति को एक स्तब्ध कर देने वाला प्रदर्शन बताया जो कि अनिर्वाचित गोपनीय राजनीतिक दल द्वारा संचालित है जिसने अमेरिका की नीतियों का अपहरण कर लिया है। उन्होंने जार्ज बुश और उनके सहयोगियों पर आरोप लगाया है कि वे तेल और प्रभाव के अपने साम्राज्यवादी लोभ को मानवाधिकार तथा लोकतन्त्र निर्मित करने के आशय के पीछे छुपा रहे हैं। सेड के अनुसार आपरेशन इराकी फ्रीडम मानवीय सहिष्णुता और मानवीय मूल्यों का उल्लंघन है जो ईसाई और यहूदी युद्ध देवता द्वारा चलाया गया है। उनके अनुसार यह युद्ध अमेरिका की उस बड़ी परिपाटी में सटीक बैठते है, जिसमें सभी देशों, लोगों और यहाँ तक कि महाद्वीपों को जनसंहार से कम कुछ भी नहीं की स्थिति में नष्ट किया जाये।

The Muslim Brotherhood is less formidable than its reputation suggests. The Muslim Brotherhood is not a powerhouse . The organization suffers from major problems. First, hot-headed and violent Islamists despise it. Al-Qaeda recently blasted it for taking part in elections and ridiculed it for being on the path to becoming “secular and falsely affiliated with Islam.” Second, the brotherhood is weak on the ground. Hesham Kassem of the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights notes that its membership does not exceed 100,000 which, in a country of 80 million, means it “is not really a grass roots movement” but a coddled institution benefiting from being uniquely tolerated. Genuine political competition should diminish its appeal. मुस्लिम ब्रदरहुड शक्ति का केंद्र नहीं है - संगठन के समक्ष कई समस्यायें हैं। पहला, उग्रवादी और हिंसक इस्लामवादी इसे पूरी तरह निरस्त करते हैं। अभी हाल में अल कायदा ने इसे चुनावों में भाग लेने के लिये इसकी निंदा की थी और इसके लिये लताडा था कि यह सेक्युलर मार्ग पर है और स्वयं को गलत ढंग से इस्लाम के साथ जोडे हुए है। दूसरा, ब्रदरहुड वास्तविक रूप में धरातल पर कमजोर है। इजियप्टिन आर्गनाइजेशन फार ह्युमन राइट्स के हेशाम कासिम के अनुसार इसकी सदस्य संख्या 1 लाख से आगे नहीं है और 8 करोड के देश में यह संख्या इस बात का प्रमाण है कि यह वास्तविक धरातल का संगठन नहीं है वरन यह ऐसे ही चल रहा है। सही अर्थों में जब राजनीतिक प्रतिस्पर्धा होगी तो इसकी लोकप्रियता घटेगी ।

The list sent to the OSCT includes a unit within Scotland Yard called the Muslim Contact Unit and another independent group designed to improve the relationship between the police and the Muslim community called the Muslim Safety Forum. It also includes the Muslim Council of Britain, one of the main groups representing Muslims in Britain, and its rival the Muslim Association of Britain. Other groups on the list are the Islamic Human Rights Commission, the Federation of Student Islamic Societies and the Cordoba Foundation. Quilliam also singles out the Islam Channel, a satellite TV channel which has been the subject of one of their reports. Among the mosques identified are Finsbury Park mosque in North London, formerly run by the extremist preacher Abu Hamza but now under new management, along with East London Mosque and Birmingham Central mosque. Politicians described as “Islamist backed” include Salma Yaqoob, leader of the Respect Party, and the former Respect MP George Galloway. Feb. 10, 2013 update : In an interview with the BBC, Ghannouchi tried to wiggle out of his earlier statement by claiming that “Salafists are not one group. There are those who promote violence and those who denounce it and there are those with whom the government of Ennahda has had confrontations.” Ghannouchi slices up Islamists into thin tranches; I say that, in the end, they are all the same. उनके मतभेद वास्तविक हैं। परंतु वे दूसरे स्थान पर हैं , सभी इस्लामवादी एक ही दिशा में बढते हैं और वह है पूरी तरह और भयानक रूप से इस्लामी कानून (शरिया) की स्थापना और इस लक्ष्य में परस्पर सहायक होते हैं, कुछ अवसरों पर परोक्ष रूप से। उदाहरण के लिये अभी हाल में ट्यूनीशिया में नाटकीय रूप से आये एक सनसनीखेज लीक वीडियो में दूतावास की हिंसा में एनहादा की भूमिका जुडी। अप्रैल 2012 में यह प्रसारित हुआ और 9 अक्टूबर को यह पुनः सामने आया। इसमें घनौची सलाफियों से उन दाँवपेंचों की बात कर रहे हैं जिससे कि समान लक्ष्य को प्राप्त किया जा सकता है, “ हमने सलाफियों से भेंट की जिसमें कि शेख अबू इयाद भी शामिल हैं”

However, the one-two punch of ABC News playing portions of the torture tape on air and to Rep. James McGovern (Democrat of Massachusetts), chairman of the Human Rights Commission of the U.S. House, did have consequences. Fully five years after the incident took place, Abu Dhabi authorities finally arrested Issa , detained other participants in the torture session, and announced a criminal probe into the torture. Most inconveniently for the UAE, the torture tape surfaced just as the U.S. government was considering a nuclear cooperation agreement with it, jeopardizing the bill's passage. Rep. Ed Markey (Democrat of Massachusetts) expressed the view of many: “A country where the laws can be flouted by the rich and powerful is not a country that can safeguard sensitive U.S. nuclear technology.” Despite itself, the State Department is having to take the torture tape into account; the nuclear deal has been delayed and faces uncertain congressional prospects. Comments : (1) Issa's unrestrained rage over a $5,000 delivery perfectly symbolizes the Middle East's culture of cruelty. Those who have power flaunt and brandish it. जिस प्रकार यह टेप सब कुछ कहता है उसी प्रकार अबू धाबी और अमेरिका की सरकार की प्रतिक्रिया भी है। एक आधिकारिक बयान में अबू धाबी ने कहा कि इसा और शाह पूर के मध्य व्यक्तिगत स्तर पर मामला हल हो गया और “ दोनों एक दूसरे के विरुद्ध औपचारिक शिकायत न दर्ज करने पर सहमत हैं। एक ओर चोरी और दूसरी आक्रमण”। एबीसी न्यूज द्वारा उकासाये जाने पर अबू धाबी के आन्तरिक मंत्री ने इसा की भूमिका को स्वीकार किया परंतु दावा किया कि, “ जो घटनाक्रम टेप में दिखाया गया है वे एक ही व्यवहार की परिपाटी नहीं हैं” इसके पुनरावलोकन में पाया गया कि “ पुलिस विभाग द्वारा सभी नियम , नीति और तरीके सही ढंग से अपनाये गये हैं” । नबूलसी के मामले में भी आंतरिक मंत्री ने स्पष्ट किया कि “नबूलसी के साथ कोई बुरा व्यवहार नहीं हुआ था जब उन्हें नशीली दवा के सम्बंध में कारवास में रखा गया था” ।

May 30, 2011 update :Balyoz keeps rolling along: less than two weeks before the general elections comes news today that Gen. Bilgin Balanlı , commander of the War Academies, has been arrested, making him the highest ranking active duty officer yet hauled off to prison. More broadly, 29 out of approximately 300 flag officers are under arrest. The deprivation of liberty of the 250 detained defendants in the Balyoz or Sledgehammer cases is arbitrary. … Consequent upon the opinion rendered, the Working Group requests the Government of Turkey to remedy the situation of these 250 persons in accordance with the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Working Group considers that, taking into account all the circumstances of the case, an adequate remedy would be an enforceable right to compensation. Aug. 5, 2013 update : Despite the weakness and fraud of its case, the AKP government has plowed ahead and today pronounced prison sentences in the other plot, the Ergenekon one dating from 2007. It includes top military officers, opposition politicians, and journalists. As Hürriyet Daily News summarizes the case, “A total of 275 suspects, 66 of them under arrest, were awaiting rulings this morning. Some 33 indictments have been submitted in the course of the Ergenekon trials, which saw over 130 witnesses testify at hearings.” The most spectacular piece of news is the life sentence given the former chief of general staff, İlker Başbuğ, but the list is a long and severe one. An excerpt from the Hürriyet Daily News article: Journalist Tuncay Özkan, retired general Veli Küçük and lawyer Kemal Kerinçsiz were sentenced to aggravated life sentences. Özkan was also sentenced to an additional 16 years. Workers' Party leader Doğu Perinçek received aggravated life sentence and an additional 30 years in prison. Retired colonel Fikri Karadağ and retired general Hasan Ataman Yıldırım also received aggravated life sentences. Retired General Hurşit Tolon was sentenced to life in prison while another retired General Levent Ersöz was sentenced to 22 years six months. The court handed down life sentences to the retired generals Hasan Iğsız and Nusret Taşdelen, as well as retired colonel Fuat Selvi. … Writer Yalçın Küçük was also sentenced to 22 years and six months in prison. On similar charges, the court sentenced former head of the Higher Education Board of Turkey (YÖK) Kemal Gürüz to 13 years and 11 months, historian Mehmet Perinçek, who is the son of Doğu Perinçek, to six years, and alleged mob leader Sedat Peker was given a 10 year sentence. Former North Sea Field Commander Mehmet Otuzbiroğlu was sentenced to 20 years and 6 months. Journalist Erol Manisalı was sentenced to nine years. Author Ergün Poyraz was handed down a 29 years and four months sentence while journalist Güler Kömürcü was sentenced to seven years and six months. Workers' Party (İP) executives Hayrettin Ertekin was sentenced to 16 years, Hikmet Çiçek was sentenced to 21 years and nine months. The party's lawyer Emcet Olcaytu received 13 years and two months. Former rectors Ferit Bernay and Mustafa Abbas were each sentenced to ten years in prison. … Former police chief Adil Serdar Saçan was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Former mayor Gürbüz Çapan received one year. Comment : Seen in the light of June's Gezi Park demonstrations, these sentences imply that Erdoğan is further doubling down to discredit, marginalize, and criminalize his political opponents. It's not a tactic that will end well for him.

Comment on this item तुर्की का इस्लामी मह्त्व इस बात की ओर संकेत करता है इस संकट का सभी मुसलमानों के लिये मह्त्व है। एकेपी द्वारा सेना पर इस्लामवादी नियंत्रण का अर्थ है कि वे उम्मा के सर्वाधिक शक्तिशाली सेक्युलर संस्थान को नियंत्रित कर रहे है और कुछ क्षणों के लिये ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि उन्हें रोक पाना कठिन है। लेकिन यदि सेना अपनी स्वतंत्रता बचा पाती है तो अतातुर्क का विचार मुस्लिम समाज में जीवित रहेगा विश्वस्तर पर मुसलमानों के लिये व्यापक इस्लामवाद के लिये एक विकल्प मिल सकेगा।
