Putting this in Editorials because that's what it is. However Reuters offers this as a news piece. If you want an over-the-top example of media bias (and sedition) here it is!

This "reporter" cranks out this crap to order. Here's another piece from a week ago where he quotes (and likewise offers no news otherwise) from most of these same "civil rights activists". Bush Freedom Pledge Rings Hollow in Arab World.

"They say violence and the prospect of a Sunni Arab boycott will undermine the poll."

Reuters and AP are just propagandists for NGO's, UN, Libs and even terrorist groups.

"Arab human rights activists"
Isn't that usually synonymous with "terrorism justifier"?

[Betaille]

"With this example, all the Arab extremists will say to us: 'You democrats, go to hell, because you haven't been able to solve our problems with your democracy and elections'," said Manna, who left Syria in 1978 as a political exile."

Can somebody explain to me what she's trying to say? It sounds like empty justification to me.

[Betaille]

"Rights campaigners say U.S. abuse of Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib jail near Baghdad had also put back the cause of human rights in Arab states accused of torturing prisoners."

This is total justification. These people aren't serious about human rights, they're just looking to blame the west for their own govt.'s abuses.

I'd like to know why it's not possible for non-Muslims to live and worship in Muslim countries, but it's okay for Muslims to live and worship in non-Muslim countries.

This is an interesting site that says that no democratic nation with human rights for all members has ever gone to war with another. The data there seems to undercut the premise of this article.

I won't believe a word of this until CAIR starts whining.




lol

"Today there are few places in the Arab world where you can have this dynamic expression of ideas, lists, candidates," he said."
So basically, the entire article was a load of BS meant to justify the fascism of Arab governments.

Arab human rights activists say the Iraqi election is deeply flawed

Best endorsement Bush could ask for, save Ted Kennedy rants.

[John Lenin]

Reuters scoured the country to find these people. Disgusting and pathetic. Don't watch the lib news channels, all they are talking about is stuff like this and how many people are dieing trying to vote.

Iraqis in Enclave Near Saddam's Hometown Say Vote - Not Violence - Will Free Country From Occupation

"The influence of the elections for us as democrats is disastrous,"
Can somebody please try to make sense of that statement for me? Isn't that sort of like saying "The influence of private property rights for us as capitalists is disasterous"?

[broadsword]

Arab human rights activists say the Iraqi election is deeply flawed and will give democracy a bad name.

And just what the heck would THEY know about democracy, when every place where they are in charge is the absolute worst seventh-century gutter on the planet. LOL!

With this example, all the liberal extremists will say to us: 'You Democrats, go to Hell, because you haven't been able to solve the problems with our democracy and elections'," said ko_kyi, who left California in 1992 as a political exile.

In Fallujah, Marines try a new tactic
Image-building is latest mission

By Tom Perry, Los Angeles Times | January 9, 2005

FALLUJAH, Iraq -- As he navigated his Humvee through rubble-strewn streets, Lance Corporal Sunshine Yubeta articulated a question that is key to the Marines' mission here.

"I wonder," said the 23-year-old from Madras, Ore., nodding toward several sullen men on a corner, "if they hate us or like us."...

It looks like the same usual crap out of Perry.

Arab human rights activists say the Iraqi election is deeply flawed and will give democracy a bad name.

Awwwww. My heart swells at the selfless compassion exhibited by these Arab terr.....errrr....human rights activists.

[SandRat]

They're not going to let me cheat and surpress the people and keep them in the 11th century.

[exDem from Miami]

"The influence of the elections for us as democrats is disastrous," Syrian human rights activist Haytham Manna told Reuters from Paris. "When you marginalize wide sections of society from the political process ... this is not democracy."

I'm touched.

Saudi academic Madawi al-Rasheed said the Abu Ghraib scandal coupled with air strikes on Falluja, which the U.S. military said was a stronghold for Sunni insurgents, had lost America the support of its natural Arab allies in pushing for democracy.

Reuters is so pathetic.

[Fred Nerks]

Did I or did I not (maybe I dreamt it?) read somewhere that Reuters was owned by arabs?
Sounds like a research project coming up.
