7:16 am
whilst they share many of the same he's at the other patrols they've never employed the same question tactics. for the background. i mean looking at those patrols i can say that is commendable but since i've come out and actually decided to take some kind of action against you know these things taking place. i could have all the actual actions and things we would still buy anything obviously there is always a better way to do things my approach as a muslim is to advise my muslim brother fantasy into an action that perhaps more appropriate always advised me to say what is better than many in the mainstream islam community these patrols are a cause for concern but if it is ensuring widespread media coverage many muslim leaders have condemned their actions as wrong and i'm representing. these individuals are

a fringe minority you know they don't represent the muslim community there's two point seven million muslims in the. and. you know they would never. condone this type of behavior the groups were very clear to us that they have peaceful intentions some of the members are alleged to be involved with the more extreme patrols where members served three and a half years in prison on charges of terrorist fund raising and fighting terrorism . and it didn't take him long to make his more hardline viz known. to him i believe so because i believe those who disbelieve in the oneness of god did find this issue would be the end point anyway and those laws and the establishment that would go with them would be a roll makes it into him so i have no respect whatsoever i asked the leader of the sharia project whether he was concerned by statements like that i said you know if you take it from the passive approach then i don't think you fix the country and

a car sorrow a blogger on the middle east think syria is a political opposition has painted distanced itself from extremists rather. terrorizing the population. you know that is a modern responsibility and if the syrian opposition read represents. you know the other factions on the ground in syria then you should take responsibility as well for stopping those actions and at least it should distance itself from it's not just happened which he hasn't done so far i think to this kind of confusion so i fear you want your boss to the west and the u.s. in particular there's of the syrian opposition group i've not really been clear and i've not taken like. car bombings and similar actions clearly and kind of distance themselves from the groups that are likely to be behind some of them. but a week of mayhem across iraq has seen more than two hundred people killed and many more injured and west bought it since the end of the u.s. occupation it comes exactly ten years after george w.
