Comments on: The Guardian: British Officials Devised Torture Policy for Detainees http://enduringamerica.com/2009/02/16/the-guardian-british-officials-devised-torture-policy-for-detainees/ Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:02:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Mae http://enduringamerica.com/2009/02/16/the-guardian-british-officials-devised-torture-policy-for-detainees/comment-page-1/#comment-2763 Mae Tue, 17 Feb 2009 13:56:48 +0000 http://enduringamerica.com/?p=6062#comment-2763 The Guardian also reports on the latest anti-terror strategy in the making, this time not intended to torture what at least seemed to be genuine terror suspects but aimed at branding a large number of Muslims as extremists for holding certain beliefs: "• They believe in jihad, or armed resistance, anywhere in the world. This would include armed resistance by Palestinians against the Israeli military. • They argue that Islam bans homosexuality and that it is a sin against Allah. • They fail to condemn the killing of British soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan." The thought police seems to be taking over completely, but no need to worry: unless you are Muslim you can still believe what you want, however extreme, even if your own belief in god, pacifism or human rights compels you to share any of these extremist opinions. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/feb/17/counterterrorism-strategy-muslims The Guardian also reports on the latest anti-terror strategy in the making, this time not intended to torture what at least seemed to be genuine terror suspects but aimed at branding a large number of Muslims as extremists for holding certain beliefs:
