The Netherlands, traditionally one of the most liberal countries in Europe, is now at the centre of a malicious campaign to defame Islam and the teachings of the noble Book of Allah (swt).  The Netherlands and other western countries claim to uphold values of tolerance, equality and justice. Yet when it comes to Muslims these values suddenly disappear. Torture, kidnapping and detention without trial are now acceptable if applied to Muslims. Muslims defending their lands from occupation are labelled ‘unlawful combatants' where the Geneva Convention and other international norms are suspended. As Tony Blair, a former British Prime Minister once said: "the rules of the game are changing."

Witnessing the events of the past few days following the charge, imprisonment and subsequent full pardon of a British teacher, Gillian Gibbons, for insulting Islam one can easily be forgiven for thinking that the British Empire never ended and still rules the darkest parts of Africa.

The Turkish government has once again demonstrated its true allegiance to western powers, whilst incurring the wrath of Muslims everywhere, with its decision to allow the Israeli President, Shimon Peres, to address the Turkish parliament as part of a preamble to American inspired "peace negotiations" in the Middle East. This is the first time an Israeli leader has addressed a parliament in the Muslim world and serves to highlight the warm and friendly relationship that the secular ruling elites of the Muslim world have with the Zionist occupiers and oppressors.
