Monday Winds of War: May 16/05

Welcome! Our goal at Winds of Change.NET is to give you one power-packed briefing of insights, news and trends from the global War on Terror that leaves you stimulated, informed, and occasionally amused every Monday & Thursday. In addition, we also have our in-depth Iraq Report today.

Today's Winds of War briefing is brought to you by Bill Roggio of the fourth rail and evariste of Discarded Lies.

Top Topics

  • Nathan Hamm has kindly assembled a briefing on the situation in Uzbekistan: Early Friday morning, gunmen stormed Andijon’s prison freeing 2,000 prisoners, including 23 men charged with belonging to a banned Islamic group who were at the center of protests that began May 10. During the day on May 13, about 10,000 people gathered in Andijon’s central square where troops opened fire on the crowd killing more than 200 people. First-hand reports describe a city under siege. The city is calm now, though unrest continues in two towns on the border with Kyrgyzstan. Though it is still unclear whether or not those who seized government buildings were protesters or militants taking advantage of the situation, the primary concerns of those who were protesting throughout the week are economic.

I for one am sick and tired of being "so concerned" about what these islamic wacko idiots think.

"beheadings" "honor killings" "riots" ????

All because some rumor that someone took copies of their precious holy Koran and did something to it?

Just wait until you see the artist exhibit at UCSF with the Koran in a jar of urine. And pages of the Koran strewn about the floor for people to walk on.

My message to any rational Muslim is WAKE UP and come into the new millenium.
