A Letter To The UNESCO in Defence of Al Aqsa

.
.

This topic is part of a campaign to defend Al Aqsa mosque by sending a letter to the UNESCO as follows:
.
Mr. Koïchiro Matsuura
Ms. Hala Tannous
.
Dear Sirs
.
We acknowledge and appreciate your great efforts to protect and save the priceless human heritage all over the world. Recently, we read that a group of professional investigators has been sent by the UNESCO to Jerusalem to investigate the situation of Israeli excavations at the area of Al Masjed Al Aqsa, which we have a big concern that this may affect the foundations and lead to buildings collapse for one of the most important historic elements of this area and allover the world.We do support your efforts and your investigation group and looking for assigning a permanent office near this area to monitor, expose and stop any trial to destroy our heritage either for political or religious reasons.
.
Thank you and best regards,
.
Sincerely,
.
This was the form of the letter for you to use if you want to, the e:mail addresses are:
.
.
Let's try to stop this idiocy and anti humanity actions.

Bloggers Uprising for Al-Aqsa

.
.
I have just received the below message from Mr. Mohammed Lachyab who happens to be leading a relatively big campaign to support Al-Aqsa Mosque. In my effort to join the campaign and as I am fully supporting all efforts to stop what the stupid Israeli administration is trying to do to the holy areas in Jerusalem and accrodingly all the peace efforts being worked on nowadays, I hereby publish the post Mr. Lachyab created.


The recent Zionist attacks on the holy Aqsa mosque are violations of all international treaties and a severe violation of Muslims rights and their holy sites.

The excavations under the Aqsa Mosque and the demolition of the Moroccan Gate, or the gate of the prophet and the silence of Arabic and international authorities, are clear indications of condoning such acts.





We want the world to witness that Al-Aqsa is our Mosque. History and geography are our witnesses. We will never accept its demolition, partitioning, or Jewization.


Al-Aqsa mosque is not just for people of Jerusalem, or Palestinians or Arabs, Al-Aqsa mosque is for One billion and three hundred thousand Muslims in the world

Al-Aqsa mosque is in our hearts

And to the people of Palestine, we are with you, with our prayers, hearts and souls. And lets all be united for the same goal.

Israeli Administrations and the Stupidity Issue!

.
.
Well, let me assume that I believe what the Israeli administration is announcing about the works in the holy area around Al-Aqsa Mosque, only some needed restorations, nothing more nothing less. Wouldn't it be the most stupid step to be taken in such a sensitive timing?

Couldn't the Israeli administration coordinate this plan with the religious authorities in Jerusalem or even the so called moderate Arab regimes in the neighborhood as in Egypt or Jordan? They claim they got the UNISCO's approval, though sounds far to believe, but what if it is valid? Couldn't they just try and get some alignment from the concerned parties in the region? Would it be so difficult and sensitive? I personally don't think so.

I really believe that this administration – as the Sharon's one – is as stupid as ever, they just love to create problems, they are experts in techniques to divert attention away from the core cause. The occupation and its consequences. At last, Hamas and Fateh have reached a fragile agreement that needs a lot to hold up and prevail, but the Israeli stupid administration insists not to let peace flourish. They always manage to blow things up with such small and naïve moves, if you doubt it, go back to Mr. Sharon's visit to Al-Aqsa Mosque, the visit that started a 3 year Intifada and pushed all the attention and efforts from Oslo Treaty and all the efforts around it.

As they decided to stop it now, I hope – just simply hope – that nothing else will blow up the efforts to get the Palestinians into unanimity and coherence. And to Mr. Olmert, man you don't have to always act like an asshole, even if you are one!!!!!!!!!

Officer "X"........................The Torturer

.
.


This is the picture of Officer "X", his name is not revealed for a reason or another although he is the 2nd player in the same torture video tape that features Officer Mostafa Shehata. Although officer "X" did not hit or hurt the suspect physically, but he should be brought to justice for many crimes. He is seen on the video participating and encouraging an act of aggression – torture – against a suspected Egyptian citizen, and this is a crime. Also he can be seen doing indecent moves by his hand in the face of the suspect which is another crime. The 3rd crime should be that he witnessed this torture party and did not officially inform his superiors, unless he did although it does not seem so from the reaction of the Police Chiefs.

Now the question is why this Officers name is not revealed till now? Why he is not charged and brought to justice for all these crimes? Why nobody is talking about him or what he committed, as if it is all normal? And why all the talks is about only one officer in this torture party which is Mostafa Shehata?

Lots of questions, but as usual with no answers. I would just ask you all to try and spread the pic of the criminal and try hard to attach a name to it. Let's all remember, he also need to be brought to justice, let's not be lean on this.

Officer Mostafa Shehata........The Torturer

.
.



This is the picture of the police officer Mostafa Shehata while torturing an unknown suspect in the Al Haram "Pyramid" police station. Thanks to the widely published video tape of the torture crime, Mostafa was brought to justice and he is waiting for his trial. The question is why officer Mostafa is detained till trial as what happened with officer Islam Nabih in the previous post? Why he is left in the large? Also the name of the torture victim is not revealed yet and he is said to have left Egypt to Libya which raises many questions on how/why he could escape the supposedly tight Egyptian police capture. Some say his escape was planned by the police authorities in an attempt to weaken the trial of the involved officers. Some say the suspect deserves the torture as he is accused of raping a 4 year old boy – as per the Ministry of Interior Affairs press release -, but this is not the law.

Yes, the law would surely punish anyone who is accused with such an awful crime, but only after a complete law suit with a final verdict on the case, the law – any law in the world – would not approve of such punishment to suspect before having a final verdict from the Supreme Court.

One can't but wonder if this is how suspects are dealt with in police stations, how it would be for those who are convicted and spending years in prison. It must be "Hell on Earth"!!!

Officer Islam Nabih.........The Torturer

.
.



This is the picture of the police officer Islam Nabih who tortured and sexually harassed the microbus driver Emad El-Kabir. Thanks to the widely published video tape of the torture crime, Islam was brought to justice and he is waiting for his trial in February. The question that every Egyptian is asking now is how much the punishment that such an officer should or would get for such an awful crime. Anyway, let's wait and see but pls. spread the word so that at least we guarantee the social punishment till we see the legal one.
