 Ahmed Jibril's "Naameh" Tunnels of Deceit


Announcements

The Lebanese people are hopeful that their Leaders who are scheduled to meet in Beirut on June the 8th in a new  "National Dialogue" session to make the  tragic dilemma of  "Al Naameh" coastal town a priority.

I do not know if the leaders and other officials of my homeland, Lebanon, really appreciate the dangers of Ahmed Jibril's tunnels (Head of PFLP-Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine)  and his organization in the town of Naameh 10 miles south of Beirut. These tunnels, which are dug, against any law and common sense, under the houses of a significant number of resident families of this embattled hostage town. These Lebanese people, who are afflicted with their State, their leaders and the rogue sisterly country, Baathist Syria, live in houses knowing that foreign military forces live beneath them in tunnels that are in fact deadly weapons caches, rockets, missiles and the like!!

The unexplained cause is no mystery after all.

I live amongst Mormons here in Utah. I thought that they were pretty screwed up. But Iranians seem to take the cake. What is wrong with these idiots? Or to put it more clearly, what is it in the Islamic culture that breeds the demonization and dehumanization of the female?
