"Some people hate Saddam and his regime. Yet, they don’t like America. They don’t believe that the Americans are doing them any good in overstaying the collapse of the Baath regime and the capture of Saddam. Some of them would even be more willing to take arms against the coalition forces, now that they no longer fear to be identified as Saddam’s agents."

"Our hearts cry for you because when your protectors catch you like lambs, they will make their new employees your prosecutor and judges. We, the people, will still be helpless spectators."

"To understand the significance of Jihad in Islam and its civilization, one must distinguish between a common meaning of the term and the theological and the juridical sense of the word."

"After 9/11 hate mongers are reviving hate for Muslims and Islam. The lives and properties of Muslims in America and other western countries are under the microscope. Hate, discrimination, racism and violence against Muslims is on the rise. Hate mongers are not openly expressing their hate for Muslims in the media but they are now attacking Islam, the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). Since 9/11 most of the North American media, especially CNN, in the name of freedom of press, have presented one-sided biased and hateful propaganda against Muslims and Islam."

"The US urges the Palestinians to ditch their democratically elected leader to make matters easier for the US and the Israeli prime minister. The US expects the Palestinians, who are unable to move freely from one village to the next, to conduct fair and democratic elections. Yet the US fails to be moved to that subject in Iraq, where international and internal legitimacy is sorely lacking."

"Demonstrations that are rallied to resist the construction of the wall must include thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands persistently placing their bodies as a barrier in the path of this wall. To achieve these numbers, each Palestinian movement is responsible for organizing and mobilizing people as a way of demonstrating their active presence on the ground, rather than simply maintaining a popular base in society."

"The US government knew very well that Iraq had no WMD capability that could constitute a threat even to its immediate neighbours let alone the US itself."

"The BBC, bizarrely, reported that "Palestinians said the structures were homes". Was the sight of children and the elderly trying to salvage furniture and belongings amid the rubble not proof enough that they were in fact homes, and that Israel's claims were false and deceitful?"
