How tragic to be actually living in these times :'([/i] "He said that British officials are deciding whether Saudi Arabia will be two or three countries and if Sudan will be two states or not. Their intention, according to Galloway, is to create a holy Saudi Arabia for the Muslims and keep the other Saudi Arabia that has oil fields for themselves. " British MP urges Arabs to rise up against West [i]Hala Kilani, Daily Star staff [/i] British MP George Galloway called on Arabs to wake up to a Western plan aimed at carving the Arab world into smaller and even weaker states and to take to the streets in massive demonstrations in an attempt to counter such a scheme. Galloway spoke Friday at Issam Fares Hall at the American University of Beirut, urging students to take action if they wanted to avoid a century in which they will see their resources stolen and continued Israeli domination in the region. "Are you prepared to let foreigners decide which country will be governed by which ruler or not?" he asked. "Because if your answer is yes, you will face a 21st century exactly like the 20th century ... your wealth will be taken away and Israel will be the superpower of the region and you will accept that Palestinians will never have justice." Galloway told the audience that people in Britain have done their bit by organizing protests against a war on Iraq. But he said it is time for Arabs to demonstrate that they can threaten interests of the West in the region. "I led the biggest demonstration in the history of Britain two weeks ago, half a million people marched through the streets of London under the slogan 'Justice for Palestine and no war in Iraq,'" the MP said. "So where are the demonstrations in the Arab world? What's wrong with you people? How can you sit and watch this happen? How long are you willing to wait? The stakes are high and the time is short," Galloway warned. Galloway said that he regularly passes two rooms in the British Parliament where the 1917 Balfour declaration, promising the Jews Palestine, was written and where the Sykes-Picot plan & gt; to carve up the Middle East was devised. Since Sept. 11, he said, a third room had opened where new maps for the region are being drawn up. "People who have never visited this region before, who don't speak a word of your language, who don't give a damn about your interests are working on creating a new map for the Arab world." He said that British officials are deciding whether Saudi Arabia will be two or three countries and if Sudan will be two states or not. Their intention, according to Galloway, is to create a holy Saudi Arabia for the Muslims and keep the other Saudi Arabia that has oil fields for themselves. "They are discussing who will rule which country in the Arab world and they won't dream of asking your permission or your advice," he said. Galloway told the audience that the rulers of the Arab countries, installed by Britain and France over 80 years ago, remain the same today. "These puppets and corrupt kings, they have governed not in the interest of their own people, but in the interest of the West. They stole wealth God has given the Arab world and spent it not on the development of their own countries, but in the bordellos, casinos and stock exchange markets of Paris, London and New York," he said. |

| Here I rest my case on the Arab World letting down Muslim and Islam. Fighting in Afghanistan was not a solution. Their silence and selfish materialist whims is a great blow to Islam. Halima |

| [slm] I disagree that it's just Arabs man! There are one BILLION Muslims in the world!!! and what's the percentage of Arabs in that??? What about the rest of the Muslims? What's their responsibility? If you are talking about the leadership of *some* arab countries, then I completely agree. But you can't generalize a whole people and say they are the cause of the downfall of Islam. Muslims need to get their act together! Whether arab, chinese, black, purple or brown!

| They have the power to paralize the west by just withholding their oil. When the rest of the Muslim world demonstrated against the Afghan War, none of them did. They were the first to accept when the American and British went round to woe them to get their support to attack Afghanistan. Halima |

| Asalam Alaykum Sister Jannah You wrote --------------------------------- I actually heard this from someone while living in Damascus. I didn't believe him at the time. (or want to believe him) ---------------------------------- Sister, do you mean this in the sense you believe he is either lying, or wrong, or do you mean it in the sense you wish to ignore these "plans" as they are so depressing? 1) If you believe these plans are false, the accusations false, we should look at the past century. The Current borders in the arab world were imposed on the muslims by the british. They carved up the islaamic lands, and divided the muslim people along sectarian and nationalist lines, as it suited their agenda of getting easy access to the welth of these arab lands. May i ask sister, Where is palestine today? If you looked a t a map in 1945, their was once a large area called Palestine. If we look at the worlds maps today, we see no Palestine. Instead, in its place we see Israel. How did this happen? Who made it happen? The plans were devised by the british government in the 1920's, and slowly implemted over the coming years. May i also say, MP George Galloway is a very honourable and respectable man. He has made much effort to help the muslims, both here in the United Kingdom, and also on his many risky and controversial trips to the Arab world, including Iraq and Afghanistan. 2) If you are implying you dont want to know as its too depressing, I would like to hear what you would suggest to stop thier plans? Its upto the muslims to take this into thier own hands, and stop this happening. Our lands have already been divided and conquered. They wish to divide us even further. Its upto the Muslims, not just the Arabs, to ensure this never happens. Our future is in our own hands. We need to unite as an Ummah, and stop our infighting, or at least not to allow minor disagrements to divide us, would you not agree? We need to unite in all aspects, in the real world, in the cyber world, with people we may not always see eye to eye with. Inshallah, when this happens, we will see conspiracies against muslims simply kept on paper. But if we carry on as we have over the past 100 years, how many more nations of ours will dissapear? The plans of the Kuffar are simply, divide and conquer. We need to ensure that does not happen. And Allah Knows Best. Maasalaama. Elite |

[/quote] In the sense that there are tons of rumours that fly around the middle east and I thought it was one of those. |
