8 Jun 2011 11:04 Africa/Lagos 52% - 35% Majority Believes U.S. Should Leave Afghanistan Faster Now That Bin Laden Is Dead Majority also favors making aid to Pakistan conditional on cooperation on pursuing Al Qaeda and the Taliban PR Newswire NEW YORK, June 8, 2011 NEW YORK, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new BBC World News America/Harris Poll finds that a majority of Americans (52%) believe that the United States should move to get its troops out of Afghanistan now that Osama bin Laden is dead. However, 35% believe that U.S. troops should stay according to the existing plans. Reasons why most people favor withdrawing U.S. troops may be that a 51% to 14% majority of adults are not confident that U.S. policies in Afghanistan will be successful, and only 19% see the Afghan government as either an ally or a friend to the U.S. and 36% see it as unfriendly and an enemy.

The Muslim Woman Who Saw Jesus! Millions of people are still perishing in ignorance of the Truth of Jesus Christ, because of their unbelief and being misled by false doctrine and false religion. That is why I have to remind them of the awesome testimony of Gulshan Esther, a Muslim girl, imprisoned by her religion and severe disability, but was healed and set free by Jesus Christ HIMSELF! You should also read the book of her unforgettable testimony The Torn Veil: The Best-Selling Story of Gulshan Esther A true story of freedom and miraculous healing as a Muslim girl finds faith in Christ When Gulshan Esther, a devout Muslim girl, was six months old, typhoid left her a cripple.

The photo of Osama bin Laden before his death. Speculations are spreading in the Arab world and among millions of Muslims in Nigeria that President Barack Obama and his administration have lied to the ignorant and innocent citizens of the United States and the rest of the world that they have killed Osama bin Laden , the founder and leader of the dreaded global militant Islamist group al-Qa'ida . President Barack Obama Many cynics, skeptics and conspiracy theorists have been questioning the authenticity of the claim that Osama bin Laden was actually “Killed In Action” (EKIA) by a 24-man U.S. Navy SEALs task force and aircrews from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment -- the "Nightstalkers" in one of the rooms on the third-floor bedroom of a comfortable house in a building in Abbottobad, a suburb of Islamabad, Pakistan on May Day, 2011. The highly respected Nigerian Islamic scholar Afis Oladosu also raised the issue on The “second death” of Osama bin Laden pu...

Osama bin Laden raid details emerge Gene Coyle, a former CIA officer, tells us about the ways this secretive counter-intelligence mission met with success Copyright (c) CBC 2011

Nobody expected the breaking news of the death of the most dreaded Islamic terrorist Osama bin Laden announced by U.S. President Barack Obama after American Navy Seals shot and killed him in a compound in Abbotabad, a town of about 60 miles from the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Sunday. Osama bin Laden But the end of Osama bin Laden does not mean the end of the Al Qaeda or the end of Islamic terrorism. Therefore, we must not think the worst is over. The Al Qaeda is a monster with many heads and another head soon grows to replace the one that has been cut off.

29 Jan 2008 05:06 Africa/Lagos State of the Union Address by President Bush WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a transcript of the State of the Union address by President Bush: Chamber of the United States House of Representatives United States Capitol 9:09 P.M. EST THE PRESIDENT: Madam Speaker, Vice President Cheney, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: Seven years have passed since I first stood before you at this rostrum. In that time, our country has been tested in ways none of us could have imagined. We faced hard decisions about peace and war, rising competition in the world economy, and the health and welfare of our citizens. These issues call for vigorous debate, and I think it's fair to say we've answered the call. Yet history will record that amid our differences, we acted with purpose.

Beyond Nevada: Beware of Barack Obama « on: Today at 06:13:31 AM » “¿Cómo-Se-Llama?” or “What’s-His-Name?,” ~ Dolores Huerta, farm-worker heroine whilst talking to reporters why the Latinos supported Hillary Clinton to win the Nevada Caucuses Saturday, January 19, 2007. Hillary Clinton won and she was quite humble about it. Barack Obama is a bad loser. I doubt whether he is truly a Democrat or just trying to take the Democrats for a ride to fulfill his ego-centric African American Dream to become the first black president of the United States. He lies that he is a "Uniter", but was privy to a Memo to blackmail the Clintons as "racist" in South Carolina and has divided the Democratic Party into blacks for Obama and blacks against the Clintons. I am a black African and I read the malicious Memo, signed by the Obama camp in South Carolina. They even lied that Bill Clinton was disrespecting Nelson Mandela of South Africa. I was involved in the mobilization of the Africa...

Yes. There were horrible and shocking incidents and events in 2007, as highlighted in the following posts below, but the most shocking of them all was the assassination of Bbenazir Bhutto, the Rose of Pakistan.

It's a very sad day. I was deeply shocked and saddened by the beautiful and fearless Ms.Bhutto's death. She was the only hope for a truly democratic Pakistan and for Muslim women. This is yet another cowardly act by terrorists. However, when she returned to Pakistan in Oct, I sort of guessed she was going to be killed. It was a very dangerous step. She somehow took that risk. She's a VERY brave woman. RIP Benazir! Keshi, Viva Forever .

Puja Bharwani reports . The Pakistani authorities have freed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto from house arrest hours before a caretaker prime minister was sworn in to oversee elections. Bhutto's release was welcomed in Washington. U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said other political detainees should also be freed. In a separate development, Musharraf swore in an ally as caretaker prime minister -- Senate Chairman Mohammadmian Soomro -- and a 24-member cabinet to oversee the parliamentary elections due by Jan. 9.

Puja Bharwani reports Nov. 13 - The detained Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto has called for military leader Pervez Musharraf to step down as the country's president. Bhutto has long called for Musharraf to step down as army chief but this is the first time she has called for him to quit as president altogether. Military ruler Musharraf set off a storm of criticism when he imposed emergency rule on Nov. 3. He suspended the constitution, sacked most judges, locked up lawyers, rounded up thousands of opposition and rights activists and curbed the media. Musharraf has come under mounting pressure from Western allies to set Pakistan back on the path to democracy.

Less Than Half of Pakistani Public Supports Attacking al Qaeda, Cracking Down on Fundamentalists WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pakistanis show only weak support for using force against Islamic militants and overwhelmingly oppose allowing outside forces to combat al Qaeda on Pakistani territory. A WorldPublicOpinion.org (http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/) poll finds that just 44 percent of urban Pakistanis favor sending the Pakistani army to the Northwestern tribal areas to "pursue and capture al Qaeda fighters." Only 48 percent would allow the Pakistan army to act against "Taliban insurgents who have crossed over from Afghanistan." In both cases, about a third oppose such military action and a fifth decline to answer. Pakistanis reject overwhelmingly the idea of permitting foreign troops to attack al Qaeda on Pakistani territory. Four out of five (80%) say their government should not allow American or other foreign troops to enter Pakistan to pursu...

The October 29 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, October 22), "The Most Dangerous Nation in the World Isn't Iraq. It's Pakistan" looks at how Pakistan has become a safe haven for Taliban and Al Qaeda jihadists and what this means for the war on terror. Plus: a comparison between the 1972 film, "Deliverance," the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. And, a look at how antibacterial products have led to the outbreak of strong staph infections. (PRNewsFoto/NEWSWEEK) NEW YORK, NY UNITED STATES 10/20/2007. PRNews Release I agree with the summation of the analyst. Every Islamic nation is a breeding ground for terrorists. You may say I am making a sweeping remark, but the fact cannot be denied. Terrorism is an Islamic ideology as enshrined in their Jihad manifesto. They preach it in their mosques and they unleash their terrorist hounds on their targets and they careless if the innocent are murdered by the lunatic fringe elements of their sectarian terro...
