[...] Moazzem har i senere tid involvert seg for Aafia Siddiquis sak. En annen tidligere fange som led samme skjebne med Moazzem var britisk-etioperen Binyam Muhammad. Binyam Muhammad ble plassert i Bagram i juni 2004 og var der i tre til fire måneder før han ble flyttet til Guantanamo. I et intervju med Moazzem Begg forteller Binyam Muhammad om hvordan han så Aafia Siddiqui i Bagram i 2004. Hele intervjuet i sin helhet kan leses her: http://www.andyworthington.co.uk/2009/03/28/guantanamo-bagram-and-the-dark-prison-binyam-mohamed-tal... [...]

This is what your ignorance about Islam has led you to become. YOU have become an extremist. You’ve zero tolerance, no observance for humanity. Why? Because your people do not have to go through this trauma.

“if they had known properly, they would have had some respect for the religion of Islam”

Typical crap from a Muslim.

If YOU “know properly” how the historic and ideological heart of Islam is vile and incompatible with the modern world (a paedophile mass murdering leader – Aisha, the Banu Qurayza tribe, poets who mocked him, women who committed “adultery” etc), YOU would be crushed by an enormous weight of shame and logic – and the same applies to all Muslims who talk this “you don’t understand” crap.

RE: What I sent above…And there is some sense of slim comfort – in the midst of this magnitude of misery – in what you send. .. (oops I wrote this with radio news, a mistake, in a rush) – of course I meant that the comfort you send (in the midst of the tragic torture news) is a warm wind that helps us all to go on seeking to confront and help change this terrific state of affairs!

Thanx so much, Frances!

What a poem, -To a Certain Cantatrice- – surely this belongs to Aafia, to her brave confronting of her pre-imprisoned years – even of the Imans who were not active with the poor & imprisoned as was she, a more recent Sojourner Truth – truly a woman of intelligence, devotion, excellence – misrepresented, misused, misunderstood by so many.

I love your great gift of appropos literature, Frances!

And there is some sense of slim comfort in the midst of this magnitude of misery in what you send. And to think it is our countries who are the oppressors & torturers!

I look for your email…

Maybe this Walt Whitman poem for Aafia–

To a Certain Cantatrice

Here, take this gift,
I was reserving it for some hero, speaker, or general,
One who should serve the good old cause, the great idea, the progress and freedom of the race,
Some brave confronter of despots, some daring rebel;
But I see that what I was reserving belongs to you just as much as to any.
