The British consulate did not come and see me. I did not see a lawyer.
...
The only reason I believe I was released was because the Turkish prisoners refused to leave until and unless the other nationalities (those whose consulates had not come and released them) were set free.
...
The British government did not lift a finger to help me, till this day I have not seen or heard from a British official.
The Israeli government stole my passport.
The Israeli government stole my lap top, two cameras, 3 phones, $1500 and all my possessions.
My government, the British government has not even acknowledged my existence.
I was kidnapped by Israel. I was forsaken by my country
(Jamal Elshayyal)
The reason is, Jamal, that our government secretly endorses all that the Israelis have done, and hopes that you and others will leave it to get on with the ethnic cleansing.

NEW YORK – Calling himself a "Muslim soldier," a defiant
Pakistan-born U.S. citizen pleaded guilty Monday to carrying out the failed Times Square car bombing, saying his attack was the answer to "the U.S. terrorizing ... Muslim people."
Wearing a white skull cap, Faisal
Shahzad entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan just days after a federal grand jury indicted him on 10 terrorism and weapons counts, some of which carried mandatory life prison sentences. He pleaded guilty to them all.
"One has to understand where I'm coming from," Shahzad calmly
told U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, who challenged him repeatedly with questions such as whether he worried about killing children in Times Square. "I consider myself ... a Muslim soldier."
The 30-year-old described his effort to set off a bomb in an SUV he parked in Times Square on May 1, saying he chose the warm Saturday night because it would be crowded with people who he could injure or kill.
Gosh, and us 'stupid americans" are such racists arent we, thinking the muzzies are out to get us. We should just surrender so they will stop (trying to) harming us...LOL
Racists or paranoiacs, who can say?
This fellow has really got into the American way of doing business - you know, No Gun Ri, My Lai, et al., et al. Let's not trail back to Wounded Knee.
Oh nice one jemmy! Really thought you'd get my goat on that one didnt you? So sorry. Im not biting.
There was a truly great op-ed in the Monday WSJ. It was entitled "Israel and the surrender of the West". Lots of great points. What I especially liked was this:
"the palestinians...and much of the middle east...are driven to militancy and war not by legitimate complaints against Israel or the West, but by an internalized sense of inferiority. ..If the palestinians gained everything, they would still be haunted by sense of inferiority. For better or for worse, modernity is now the measure of a man....the quickest cover for inferiority is hatred. The problem is not me, its them. And it is in my victimization that I enjoy a moral and human grandiosity - no matter how smart and modern my enemy is....Even my backwardness and poverty reflect a moral superiority, while my enemy's wealth proves his inhumanity."
An absolutely fantastic piece, right on the money. From Shelby Steele of Stanford's Hoover Institute. So ABSOLUTELY, 100% TRUE. ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
One is never sure which of two characteristics is more prominent in the American national character and therefore of the greater significance: naivete or a superiority complex. When for example they say things about our region, our surprise at their ignorance is surpassed only by annoyance at their stupid insolence.
Stupid insolence? Who is being arrogant now?
And RS, why do people in "your region" have such great wisdom about the US, but we are either naive or stupid (unless we agree with your view)?
And how is it that the US and the West have been the greatest developers of new technology and economic advancment, having profoundly changed the world in heretofore unforeseen ways, while much of "your region" is still functioning as it did hundreds or thousands of years ago?
Take offense if you choose, but the facts are there.
fleming doesn't believe the USA has a class system. How naive is that?
