Salma Yaqoob: US shows hypocrisy on Egypt

now USA is not in favor of Mubrak to hold the presidency, & whom america does not favor, cant remain into power anymore. at the time of Soviet Union dissolved into parts, innocent afghani's were in much favor of america who help them alot, but if u would ask any1 out there in afghanistan, the reply would be USA is big terrorist & invader than russia!!

ok exiled saint, japan were cruel to people but using Atom Bomb is insane especially at a stage when they were about to loose the war any way. I wonder why you are giving me examples of other tyrants to save the skin of USA. I am not admirer of Japan in particular but that does not give US the right to do what they have done and are currently doing. You said KSA is not signing UDHR, again trying to compare a smaller tyrant to a bigger tyrant. I am a bit confused here? does it mean that you want to support USA for all the chaos they have been spreading in the world just because other have been doing the same?

Yep.. They are both products of Comedy Central ..

colbert is good too

ditto brit

Love john stewart ...

I don't think you can really use the Japanese in your argument. Invasion of Korea, china, hong kong, Singapore to name a few. Ask the Chinese about the Nanking massacre. Plus the Japanese did attack the Americans. What do you expect them to do? In fact America was neutral during the two world wars and it was only when they were attacked did they respond.

I agree with you brit these countries and people need to stand up for themself. If people have courage, conspirators will not be able to achieve their goals.

and exiledsaint if terms like Islamists or Islamic terrorist or what u just said muslim militant groups are used freely, what does that mean? This means that Muslims have been clearly and officially declared enemies. I have never heard of the term Christian or jew terrorists even though that i do believe that there will be many criminals and terrorists amongst Christians and Jews too.

Osama Bin Laden was trained by CIA and American weapons were given to Afghans. Saddam Hussain was long term US allie for the sole reason that he was giving tough time to Iran. Y can't US leave every one alone in the world. USA is the biggest terrorist and human rights violator on the face of earth.

Come on man how much more clear picture do u want?

3000 people died in twin towers for which USA is mourning for the last decade and have killed 10 million human beings since then. Japan killed may be not more then 3000 in pearl harbour and as a result US used atom bomb causing more killings then the whole war. Saddam may have killed 10000 people where as Americans killings are in millions. This is insanity and American are still kept in continuous fear so that more people can be killed.

Bush was a maniac but was clinton or is Obama any better?

I would agree with you to an extent. The americans have always used a "bogey man" to rally the public. In the fifties and sixties it was Communism. then it was Russia and now it is "Extremist Islam".

Having said that, what the US does is no different from what many other countries do. The main thing being the support of their own goals and objectives.

Like the Shah of Iran, Noriega and others before him, Mubarak seems to have served his purpose. Time for someone new.

rather than always blame the Americans or the West, these countries need to learn to stand up for themselves and form their own alliances.

Actually that should say I am not American!

I'm American and I do not support a lot of their policies but to think they are waging a war against Muslims is nonsense. In fact it is a number of militant Muslims groups that have said they are waging a war against the US and the west

KSA is worst case of violation of human rights. Do you wanna compare USA with KSA. well I admire your logic then. Stop supporting criminal activities man. Look at US history.

Native Americans killed when they entered US. worst slavery and human right records. The only country which used Atom Bomb. The biggest arms trader. The biggest thug to steal other countries resource. Come on man you can add a few more to this list rather then supporting a tyrant universal terrorist.

I am sure American people are normal people like any body else in the world but when u elect people like Bush, you become responsible for their actions.

"For most people in the west someones religion is not as important as who they are as a human being"

then in other way, U must be saying, west is capture with a bunch of religious leaders accompanying by weapons traders?

exiledsaint do you think support of Israel, Invasion of Afghanistan, Killings in Pakistan are not blunders. Rather mistake and blunder are small words to describe it. It is shameful and USA is giving every reason to the world to condemn it. And whether in USA or any where else who ever supports this mass extermination of nations and Muslims should also be condemned.

This is their new world order. The cold war is finished so it is not the communists any more, it is the Muslims.

Has the custodian of the two hold mosques signed the universal Declaration of Human Rights?

Undone understand why you think the US has an anti Muslim agenda when maybe millions of Muslims live in America in peace. Including palenstinans who have US passports something they are denied by their arab and Muslim brothers in the middle east. (citizenship that is)

Yes Iraq was a huge mistake and many people lost their lives and George bush should be tried for war crimes but for people like you your incessant everyone is against the Muslims is a disservice to the majority of liberal fair minded Muslims.

For most people in the west someones religion is not as important as who they are as a human being

Besides Bosnian intervention could have been under UN. Then y take the decision of using NATO.

I believe it opened a door for to attack and violate sovereignty of any country they want.

Goldie, sorry, but I decided to leave you to it. Enjoy.

who ever does it must be condemned in the name of humanity but i never heard u condemning USA...

Besides u still never answered my question.

Why is USA not signing Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

n/a

conspiracy of west to cut foreign aid & to abolish friendly relations with muslim countries to declare them as anarchy states & major point in that is to change the worlds prospectus towards israel-palestine conflict to other side!

It does not come as a great suprise that the greatest democracy in the world is the greatest supporter and backer of this despotic countries around the world be it Pakistan, Tunisia, Egypt or the others in the neighbourhood and when the regime change takes place like in Tunisia they start making just the right noises to make the USA look to be on their side.

yeah in bosnia it was genocide, in only one day 17th of July 1992 in place called Srebrenica thousands of people were killed brutally, why a so huge power as the United States is did not change it and stop it , it could have stoped it just in 1 single day but no Bosnia doesnt have oil, bosnians are muslims(majority) so its better to let them kill few years and then act as good and helpful and stop it after thousands of mothers lost their children and husbands..the US helps only if they get something in return...they didnt need to be so nice and helpful and just HELP IRAQI PEOPLE(by killing and stealing their property) thats how they call it, Saddam Husein is bad for them but US is good and helpful..people need the US to protect them..no one needs them but they just come..no one needs their help everyone just needs to live without being afraid of them

As alleged to be the biggest democracy, USA should have condemned Mobarak long time ago. This shows the double standards of US diplomacy.

Bosnia operation was carried out to throw the communist supported Serbians and that opened a way for USA to start invading countries using NATO or even without NATO. and by supporting USA actions, do you wanna support mass killings, illegal jails and detentions, kidnappings, mass murder and other atrocities by US in many countries majority of which are Muslims. After the cold war Muslims are the ultimate target. Millions have been killed in the name of collateral damage. I don't know how can a sane human being justify this inhumane insanity.

The Americans are hedging their bets. They want to ensure that the people know that they support change. They also want to send a clear message to Mubarak.

If you look at the statements from the white house in the last week , you can see the change in tone and direction.

In the past Mubarak has used the extremism card to say that "if you don't support me, extremists may take power". However, with the low key involvement of "the brotherhood", the outsiders have begun to reconsider their position.

It is all about long term objectives and goals. All countries do this.

I didn't think the US was showing hypocrisy in Bosnia and kosovo when the Muslims were been killed. Most people in the west don't see religion as you do. It's not Muslim or non-Muslim. It's people.

In Egypt the US has a problem. Mubarak was an ally but what comes next? They will not give him support now as they know he's finished

12 Billion USD from tourism

5 Billion USD from Suez Canal Transit

and American aid only USD 2 Billion approx.

the US has shown hypocrisy on all matters in the muslim countries throughout history, it's the muslims who r still making mistakes when they expect that the US or any non-muslim country would do us any good
