Torture in the Arab world versus resort living in Guantanamo

WHAT THE ARAB WORLD THINKS OF TORTURE

Torture is accepted and even expected in the Arab world. Might makes right. Arab men – not those nice Arab men you may know who have immigrated to America, but Arab men living in the Arab world – prove their manhood by the way they treat their enemy.

After all, it’s what Mohammed did to the nonbelievers – Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians in the Koran – the ‘holy book’ allegedly mishandled in Guantanamo prison. Arab Moslem men gain honor by shaming, belittling, abusing and torturing their enemy in the most horrific ways.

Just look at how the Palestinians treat so-called collaborators by disemboweling them and hanging them upside down in Manger Square in Bethlehem. Look at the terrorist torture chambers that the coalition forces recently uncovered in Iraq.

When people refer to the prisons of Saddam Hussein and his regime they think he is the extreme exception. Not! The truth is his torture tactics are quite the norm in the Arab world.

If you want to see torture that is beyond what any Westerner can ever imagine, you can view this video of impalement. But I must warn you: this is so graphic you may throw up: the public rectal impalement of a man. This is what Arabs do to their own people.  (note: the video is not longer available in the website)

As someone who came from the Arab world and knows how they think, it frustrates me to see self-appointed self-righteous politicians and media pundits, oblivious to Arabic culture and thinking, criticizing America’s actions at Guantanamo.

The prisoners at ‘Gitmo’ are a bunch of Al Qaeda Jihadis who were captured while bent on killing us – the kaffirs or ‘unbelievers.’ They laugh watching our government bend over backwards, forwards and sideways trying to appease the critics.

The more we stumble over ourselves questioning our goals and tactics, the more the Jihadis think we are weak and easy to defeat. They smirk because they believe that Americans have demonstrated how stupid and weak they are by caving in to stories about maltreatment of Guantanamo detainees.

Actually Gitmo is a joke as far as the Arabs are concerned. Prison? You call that a prison? You know what prisoners call Guantanamo among themselves? Al muntazah al-dini lilmujaheden al Moslemin, The Religious Resort for Islamic Militants.

They are given three halal (Moslem kosher) meals a day in accordance to their religious dictates. How many Jewish kosher prisons are there for Jews in the Arabic world? None. Jews captured in the Arab world are butchered like those obscene pictures taken in Ramallah during the frenzied slaughter of two Israeli reservists who got lost.

Most of these Guantanamo detainees never had three meals a day in their entire life. They are gaining weight, and are living in what they refer to in Arabic as Al-Jannah, paradise. They have radio, television, soccer games, air-conditioning, clean clothes, servants, meaning American GIs, who wait on them hand and foot.

They have Islamic chaplains and handed Korans, the Hate Guide Against Infidels, by people so concerned as not to offend that they wear latex gloves and carry the book with two hands.

Rest here
