Want to get a taste of what is happening in the Middle East when Sunnis broke with al-Qaeda, when Shiites broke with Sadr and the Mahdi Army, when Afghans broke with the Taliban. There is nothing more shattering than to have the belief system that underpins your life and soul shattered. There is nothing like learning people you supported and trusted would kill you without any thought to further themselves. What the eiltes in this country cannot fathom is losing everything to heartless killers and thugs you once thought were saviors and an army of angels. If you want to see a snapshot of what is happening to al-Qaeda, the Mahdi Army, the Taliban and other Islamo Fascists as the facade is ripped from them and their evil core is exposed to the Muslim Street watch this clip and how a believer became a fighter. How an image of the future of Islam turned into the enemy of Islam:
H/T to Gateway Pundit for finding this clip. What is important to take from this is how dramatic and forceful the change is when one realizes they have been played the fool in a dangerous game that could have killed. While the Nazis rose to power on a myth of superiority in race, al-Qaeda rose to power on the myth of religious rapture, and the coming of heaven on Earth once the evil West was vanquished. While the fervor over the coming of a rapture can mobilize more people to greater heights (even into suicidal martyrdom), when the facade is ripped away the crash back to reality is jarring. You can see how this women is fed up with the movement once it crossed the line and made her the enemy.
This is a good insight into what happens and what it takes to shatter a dream and take up the fight against one time allies and fellow believers. This is what is rattling the Islamo Fascist movement and paving the way to victory (over the coming years, not days) in the war on terror.
There is a fundamental change going on in Lebanon. It is a change that she expresses well. The people there are well educated. Hezbollah has already lost. Iran has lost much. They now are faced with three choices:
1. Now that they have been exposed for what they really are, stop pretending and go for an all-out coup. In other words, go for broke.
2. Try to start another war with Israel to win back the sympathy of the people.
3. Give up the militia and become a political party only.
Continuing things as they are now is not a viable option. Their influence will diminish with each passing sunset.
ah, crosspatch, i hate to break it to you, but hezbollah is the big winner in this week’s showdown in lebanon. it started because the lebanese government threatened to take apart hezbollah’s communications network and after the shia party’s show of force, the lebanese government backed down.
Have you seen this yet?...
Note: I saw this video a few days ago and had no idea what this anchorwoman was talking about since the clip was in Arabic. However, you couldn't miss her passion even though she was speaking a different language.
Today I saw that MEMRI has translated this amazing video clip.
It is very, very powerful.
Here is Sahar Al-Kathib crying out for her country and lashing out against the Hezbollah:

Lebanese TV Presenter Sahar Al-Khatib Blasts Opposition Leaders Following the Shutting Down of Future TV by Lebanese Army and Hizbullah
Here is the transcript from MEMRI:
Sahar Al-Khatib: I would like to say something personal, even though I am known for being objective, and members of the opposition itself will attest to that. With regard to the conduct of the army – if only it had not intervened at all. It has been said that the army took a neutral stand, but that was not the case. Today, we should very objective, and say exactly what happened. The way I see it, we were driven out of the "Future TV" building, when all that we were doing was to make our voice heard. They accept that all we were doing was to broadcast the events. We were doing nothing except making our voice heard. For many wise reasons, Allah made the human voice untouchable, so the hand cannot reach out and strangle it.It's no wonder this video has been viewed 300,000 times already.
They forced us to leave the "Future TV" building, while they looked on. Two hours earlier, the army was already there. I was there along with 'Imad 'Asi. The [army officers] said to us: "Let us stay here today, otherwise they will enter the place. We will protect the premises." We trusted the army to do just that. After more than two, three, or four hours – we lost track of time, because it was so stressful that time stood still for us – the officer returned, and I saw him saying to Hussein: "Either you stop broadcasting or else they will burn the place down, or move in and wreak havoc inside." He was delivering this message to us. I wish the army had not come. This image will remain engraved in our hearts. We had really thought them to be neutral. One can be neutral only when there is a clash between two rivals, but there wasn't any clash, and there was no need for them to stand outside. One party was the aggressor, and another was watching from the sidelines. They were both on one side, and we were on the other side. That's what I wanted to say about the army.
Obviously, I am very emotional. Let me tell you something. I hadn't had a minute's sleep for 48 hours. I was at "Future TV" the entire time. We were trying to broadcast news briefs that presented the pain, and at the same time, we did not want to surrender, because it was very important to deliver our message to all the people.
Let me say something personal to the leaders of the opposition, who were my guests and whose voices I made heard for a year and a half. For a year and a half, I have borne this with objectivity, despite all the pain, and despite all the criticism I met from many people, including my family. I have borne the pain, in order to make the voices of all Lebanese heard. Let me tell them: The voice cannot be strangled or stopped. The voice cannot be reached by an evil hand. You will see that this voice will not be silenced.
Let me tell you something. For a year and a half I used my voice to make your voices heard. I made the voices of the people in the [Shiite] Dhahiya suburb heard, as well as in South Lebanon, in Baalbeq – the voices of the opposition, of [Aoun's] FPM, and of the Al-Marada movement. Who today will make our voices heard? I am asking who represents my own voice, after I represented your voices? My voice, the voices of the people of Beirut, the voices of the people who fled their homes, the voices of the people who said "There is no god but Allah," when you were wearing ski masks on the streets of Beirut. What for? People who are proud of their actions do not wear ski masks.
I want to continue shouting that our voice will not be stopped. Let them know this. That's what objectivity is about. It means not keeping silent in the face of injustice. That's what objectivity is about. When I felt the unity of Lebanese was in danger, I courageously presented your questions. Who represents my voice now? Who represents the voice of Beirut? You tell me. Imagine yourselves in this situation. Right now, I don't want to address the political parties. I am addressing the people whose voices I made heard. Imagine that the people of Beirut, who opened their homes to you during the July [2006 Israeli] invasion... They took you into their hearts.
We read out the names of each and every martyr on the air. In the Mar Michael area, I read out the names of the martyrs one by one, and tears from my broken heart filled my eyes on the air. Did you read out the names of our martyrs today, one by one? Answer me. Do any of you even know the names of those who fell? Who is responsible for their blood? I was objective, but I'm sad to say, you have made me regret my objectivity. I felt I was a victim of my objectivity, when I was defending you for a year and a half. Is there a conscience out there to defend us?
You are silencing our voice – the voice Allah made untouchable. Have you asked yourselves why? You are defying the will of Allah. Allah made only two things in the human body untouchable – the soul and the voice. This is the wisdom of Allah. Did you really think about what you are doing? You did not just break the law, but you also broke with the hearts of the people. You broke with hearts that truly loved you, even when your political leaders kept telling me that we hated you. No! Today, you abandoned people like me, and there are many like me in the Mustaqbal movement. This is the voice whose offices you came to destroy. We prepared food for you with love during the July 2006 aggression, yet you threw it on the ground.
Why do you hate us? I don't understand. I believe in Allah but not in sectarianism, yet you have awakened sectarianism in me. Look at the victims of your actions. One victim after another – you kill the people who build this country. Your voice cannot be heard alone, nor can our voice be heard alone. In the face of injustice, our voice will be heard, and whoever hears this knows what I am talking about. We will not keep silent. Even though a decision was made to evacuate Future TV, I said to them: Let's stay. Let them come in. We will start the cameras rolling and stand still. Let us show the world what they are doing to us. You and we are one and the same. You have shattered this image in me. How will you fix it?

Not yet anOTHER LDS thread!
Well it appears she still saves the blame for the JOOOS.
She is pitiful, a lost cause.
What is .....Typo correction.
Elsie must think the topic is about Mormons.
Who was it who said “A conservative is a liberal who got mugged the night before?” Ms. Al-Kathib sounds like one of our liberals who had her eyes opened.
And what did she expect from a bunch of thugs. Roses.
