Another hardly needed stunt of Geert Wilders

Dutch politician Geert Wilders, whose stance on Islam awarded him with controversy, has finally placed his foot onto Britain, a step which was denied for eight months because of official worries that his presence 'would threaten community harmony and therefore public security.'

Mr. Wilders fueled debate about perceived (not necessarily substantiated) religious and cultural 'clash of civilizations' through his comparison of Quran to Mein Kampf, depicted in movie Fitna which attempted to fuel angry response from Muslim communities worldwide. Attempt fizzled; showing that 'fundamental base' of religious hatred is narrow and often overstated regardless of 'the camp'.

Estimate was confirmed upon Mr. Wilders arrival at Westminster where extraordinary stage was set. British media reports of a 'welcoming' group of young Muslims whose number was 'shadowed' by the members of the press. The group of about forty protestors carried signs emitting such messages as 'Sharia for the Netherlands' and 'Islam will be superior', statements which happen to precisely underline the very fears so often expressed by the leader of the Party for Freedom. Although it may not be in plain sight, the whole charade accompanying Mr. Wilders visit to United Kingdom can easily be summarized in the same manner as his previous virulent efforts. May freedom of speech be cherished, but we just had another in line of his hardly needed publicity stunts.

Ghostly visage of Usama bin Laden

Gerald Feierstein, US 'missionary' for Pakistan recently repeated the statement that 'ghostly visage' of Usama bin Laden was eluding the justice in tribal regions of Pakistan.  

'Osama is present in Pakistan. The command system of Taliban is based in Quetta and they are launching their activities from the suburbs of the city,' Feierstein told the reporters in India on Thursday which marked the beginning of this month.

Feierstein estimated that Usama's forge of terror is 'significantly limited', point well made, especially if the remarks of late Benazir Bhutto about his murder are accurate.


US State Department spokesperson Ian Kelly perpetuated assertion today, 'most of the terrorists responsible for 9/11 attacks have entered into Pakistan from Afghanistan', he said to reporters during the regular briefing, reigniting the worries surrounding those self-proclaimed masterminds that are already in military detention.

Meanwhile, officials in
Pakistan are asking US administrate to share the evidence they have about possible whereabouts of their allegedly rogue asset Tim Osman who had strike the nerve with his initial response to 9/11 attacks.

'The
U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it.., I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons,' Osman bin Laden said in a statement issued to Al Jazeera.

This stance was reaffirmed in later interviews, but then Pentagon came along and provided some heavily disputed confession tapes, spin was so strong that even hushed and not as free as they would like to be members of MSM felt the need to raise some well founded, some serious questions.

Most recent of these surfaced on 9/11 memorial in article that asked: 
Has Osama Bin Laden been dead for seven years - and are the U.S. and Britain covering it up to continue war on terror?
