Quoth from Berlin on 2001-09-18 21:20 [#00033865] | |||||||||

Hey there... this is a new... perhaps "junk" mail that I received... I do not want to give the email addy out... but I do want to share with you what this person said: Dear Friends, Please take a few minutes to read and act on this email. On May 23rd 2001 the Taleban authorities in Afghanistan confirmed that all Hindus will be required to wear a strip of yellow cloth sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to identify themselves. They claim that the measure is for their "protection". The world has faced this before, in 1939 the world was required, at great cost, to rid itself of Hitler's tyranny, it is not hard to spot his child. Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to relive it. The Taleban's record on respecting other religions gives great cause for concern that their ultimate aim, upon which they are intent, is "religious cleansing". They have already demonstrated their distain and intolerance for other religions and traditions by the desecration and destruction of the ancient Buddhist statues, our collective heritage, within the Afghanistan. Whatever your religion, or even if you have none, we hope that you will agree that this is fundamentally wrong. Remember, "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". Please do not do nothing, add your voice. DIRECTIONS: PLEASE COPY this email on to a new message, add your name and those of your household who wish to participate to the bottom and forward it to everyone on your distribution list. If you receive this petition and you find that you will be the 251st name on it, please e-mail a copy of it to: alastair@om-int.com. It will then be forwarded to the UN. Even if you decide not to sign, please be considerate and do not kill the petition as you will be denying your friends, and theirs, their legitimate voice. Instead return it to alastair@om-int.com To The Secretary General, Security Council and General Assembly of the United Nations. We the undersigned are appalled by the decision of the Taleban government of Afghanistan to require all Hindus to wear a piece of yellow cloth sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to identify themselves. An individual's communion with God, however they find him, is a matter of personal conscience and must not be the subject of intimidation or persecution. The right of everyone to worship as they wish is fundamental and inalienable. The United Nations was founded in order to defeat Hitler and his henchmen who required the same from another religion with all it's horrific consequences. It is completely unacceptable that nearly 60 years later history is repeating itself. We ask the following: 1. That the Taleban government is made aware in the strongest possible terms that the world will not countenance this perversion of human rights. 2. That prior to the United Nations and/or it's constituent members granting recognition of the Taleban government this obscene policy is reversed. 3. That the United Nations widen the terms of the trade sanctions currently in force. 1. Alastair Mitton - London UK 2. Robert Mitton - London UK 3. Paulette Budd - London UK 4.

To Quoth.. war is on it's way..so you really don't need to keep making cases against TALEBAN..here's some stuff..most Americans aren't likely to be able to see...it's off the BBC "A former Pakistani diplomat has told the BBC that the US was planning military action against Osama Bin Laden and the Taleban even before last week's attacks. Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October. Russian troops were on standby Mr Naik said US officials told him of the plan at a UN-sponsored international contact group on Afghanistan which took place in Berlin. Mr Naik told the BBC that at the meeting the US representatives told him that unless Bin Laden was handed over swiftly America would take military action to kill or capture both Bin Laden and the Taleban leader, Mullah Omar. The wider objective, according to Mr Naik, would be to topple the Taleban regime and install a transitional government of moderate Afghans in its place - possibly under the leadership of the former Afghan King Zahir Shah. Mr Naik was told that Washington would launch its operation from bases in Tajikistan, where American advisers were already in place. Bin Laden would have been "killed or captured" He was told that Uzbekistan would also participate in the operation and that 17,000 Russian troops were on standby. Mr Naik was told that if the military action went ahead it would take place before the snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle of October at the latest. He said that he was in no doubt that after the World Trade Center bombings this pre-existing US plan had been built upon and would be implemented within two or three weeks. And he said it was doubtful that Washington would drop its plan even if Bin Laden were to be surrendered immediately by the Taleban. " Kinda makes you wonder exactly how responsible was Bin Laden or TALEBAN for the attacks |
