WHATS YOUR VIEWS ????

Re: Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

The media is stereotyping all our forces as well.

Its all getting out of hand did anyone see this on the news today



US MAN EXECUTED ON VIDEO

Al Qaeda's leader in Iraq is behind the beheading of an American civilian and vowed more killings in revenge for the prisoner abuse scandal.

US contractor Nick Berg was executed on video which was broadcast on the internet.


Shortly before he was killed, he named himself saying he was from Philadelphia and had a brother and sister.

The poor quality videotape on the site showed a man dressed in orange overalls kneeling on the floor with his hands tied back.

There were five masked men behind him. One read a statement urging Muslims to take revenge over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers.

The masked men then pushed the 26-year-old American to the floor and shouted "God is greatest" above his screams.

His head was sawed off with a large knife then held aloft for the camera.
The website said Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a top ally of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, was the man who cut off Berg's head.

Jordanian-born Zarqawi, 37, has raised his profile and status as al Qaeda's most active operational leader with a series of suicide bombs and attacks on US troops in Iraq.

A body found in Baghdad over the weekend was identified as Mr Berg.

Mr Berg's family said that they had been aware that he had been beheaded but had not known the details of his killing.

"I knew he was decapitated before. That manner is preferable to a long and tortuous death. But I didn't want it to become public," said his father, Michael.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "If this is genuine, then it is utterly repugnant and indefensible."

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! Are you for real? Do you mean all 1.3 billion of these people???

My view is that you're a narrow minded bigot whose backward views can only end up perpetuating the mutual hatred & mistrust that ends up in people cutting other peoples heads off

Re: Re: Re: Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

No, I believe there are people out there being mistreated but that has happened in every war in history. I'm not condoning it and the pics that have been released are shocking.

I just think that the average Joe on the front line is working hard and tirelessly for his country fighting for peace rather than for there oil for his country.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

it's not us that has a problem with believing it - it's the people of iraq that are buying it.

Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

How can you stereotype a whole country like that.....?

The majority of Iraqis want peace in their country not a bunch of gun touting troups running the place!

Re: Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

Harsh but fair!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

My point is in responce to your point that "Mr average Joe in Iraq wants to hurt you in any way", well neither does the average British soldier.

There under immense pressure policing a country, I can't even begin to imagine the stress and things they have went through. We should show them some level of support.

Or do you not think that these people matter?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

have they not just chopped someone head off for "revenge for the abuse of iraqi prisoners"?

they just picked some random squaddie rather than the actual people who did the cruelty. i'd say that stereotyping by media.

what rob said

totally agree!

Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

Neil, have a look here to see some balanced & reasonable views from these people would not think twice about shooting you in the head if given half a chance!!!

Re: Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

1 thing to say to you

FUCK OFF DICK!!!

how dare you call me narrow minded!
Who the fuck do you think you are, Im not a fucking kid with silly little views but these bastards would not think twice.

WANKER!!!

Re: Re: Re: Trouble in Iraq !!!

Neil I think its unfair to brand all arabs with that brush, just like its unfair to brand all british troops as 8 year old girl killers....

Granted the people in the video were some sick twisted evil fucks... But that isn't a reflection of all arabs.
