What do you mean " SOME MENBERS "? Sounds similar to what people said in the 60's about the Black Panthers, or MLK's followers. The FACT is, there ARE some members of Al-Qaeda that got involved because of ignorance, and every time I say something YOU don't like, one of them is thinking how reasonable I am. Can you see how I'm stuck in the middle without any way out? Some Americans think I am a terrorist that should be in prison, and some members of Al-Qaeda want me dead. No way for me to win, although it is what has to be done in order to battle ignorance. My reward for this is ridicule from the people that should be helping me. In the last 9 months I have made over 60 contacts, either through e-mail or web-site submissions in an attempt to get the help that I desperately need. I did this to government agencies, journalists, individuals and lawyers. I have even made phone calls, only to be ignored or have the door slammed in my face again. I desperately need help, but everywhere I have turned has only lead to disappointment. I can honestly say that I would rather die than be disappointed again, and think of suicide at least once a day regardless. Make no mistake, this aspect of the war on terror is not a war against people, it is a war against ignorance on both sides. You may not recognize the tactics involved because there has never been a war like this before IMO, except for maybe the Civil Rights movement lead by Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. You may find the methods I use distasteful, or even consider me a terrorist, but these are the most effective methods to try and bond the religion and culture of the middle east, with those of the west. Also, believe me when I say that I hate doing it too, for the same reason I hated sales when I was in that occupation. In any event, I have nothing more to give. For more than the last 2 years I have been pounded SO deep into the ground that I am now completely buried, and I am blinded by confusion. All I want is some compassion from my fellow humans, but that hasn't happened. IC
