Why Obama should bust Netanyahu for 9/11

Now it's payback time! Why Obama should bust Netanyahu for 9/11

All observers admit it: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did everything in his power to destroy President Barack Obama's political career.

US President Barack Obama speaks at his last campaign rally in Des Moines,
Iowa on November 5, 2012.

President Obama should return the favor. 

He should destroy Netanyahu's career in the biggest, most spectacular way possible - by busting Netanyahu for 9/11. 

The major US and international media, owned and operated by cheerleaders for Israel, are so terrified by this prospect that they are trying to pretend it is “business as usual” between the US and Israel - maybe even between Obama and Netanyahu - despite the obvious blood feud between the US president and the Israeli prime minister. 

After all, the Rothschild family, the biggest of the “eight families,” created Israel as its base of criminal operations. Even mainstream historians admit that Lord Rothschild created Israel in 1917 by handing the British an offer they couldn't refuse: “We can win World War I for you, by dragging America into the war – but in return, you must give us Palestine.”

ഇമാം അബ്ദുല്ലാഹിബ്‌നു മുബാറക്, പ്രവാചകന്റെ പിന്‍തലമുറയിലെ പുകള്‍പെറ്റ വിജ്ഞനായിരുന്നു. പണ്ഡിതന്‍, വാഗ്മി, പോരാളി, പ്രബോധകന്‍, ദൈവഭക്തന്‍, ജനസേവകന്‍ എന്നീ നിലകളില്‍ പ്രശസ്തനായ ഇമാം, ഇടവിട്ട വര്‍ഷങ്ങളില്‍ ഹജ്ജിനും ജിഹാദിനും പുറപ്പെടുക പതിവായിരുന്നു. പതിവുപോലെ ഒരിക്കല്‍ അനുയായികളോടൊപ്പം ഹജ്ജിനായി പുറപ്പെട്ടു. യാത്രാ മധ്യേ ഒരു ഗ്രാമത്തില്‍ തമ്പടിച്ചു. അനുയായികളില്‍ ചിലര്‍ ഗ്രാമത്തില്‍ ചുറ്റിനടക്കവെ വിചിത്രമായ ഒരു കാഴ്ച കണ്ടു. ഒരു ഗ്രാമീണ യുവതി വഴിയരികില്‍ കിടന്ന ചത്ത പക്ഷിയെ എടുത്ത് വീട്ടിലേക്ക് പോകുന്നു. അതുകണ്ട് ജിജ്ഞാസയോടെ അവര്‍ ആ സ്ത്രീയുടെ പിന്നാലെ കൂടി. എന്തിനാണ് ചത്ത പക്ഷിയെ എടുത്തു കൊണ്ടുപോകുന്നതെന്നാരാഞ്ഞു. ആ സ്ത്രീ അല്‍പം മടിച്ചു. പിന്നെ കാര്യം വെളിപ്പെടുത്തി. 'പറക്കമുറ്റാത്ത എന്റെ കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങള്‍ അനേക ദിവസമായി പട്ടിണിയിലാണ്. ആഹാരത്തിന് ഒരു വഴിയുമില്ല. ഗത്യന്തരമില്ലാതെ വന്നപ്പോള്‍ കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങളുടെ കരഞ്ഞുതളര്‍ന്ന മുഖം കാണാനാവാത്തതുകൊണ്ട് ഇതെങ്കിലും വേവിച്ചുകൊടുക്കാമെന്ന് കരുതി.' ഇത് കേട്ട് തിരിച്ചുപോയ ഇമാമിന്റെ അനുയായികള്‍ സംഭവം അദ്ദേഹത്തോട് പറഞ്ഞു. ഉടനെ അദ്ദേഹം അനുയായികളെ മുഴുവന്‍ ഒരുമിച്ചുകൂട്ടി.

So Obama Wins the Election. What Does It All Mean?

So Obama Wins the Election. What Does It All Mean?

President Barack Obama made history Tuesday night, becoming the first African American to be re-elected President of the United States.

Obama defeated former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who had argued that Obama was to blame for the pace of economic recovery after the 2008 financial meltdown. Obama’s win was a stamp of approval for the president, who has argued that his policies have been helping the economy recover from the worst financial downturn since the Great Depression.

Obama’s win also represents a huge victory for the civil rights of women, LGBT individuals and immigrants, and likely cements into law the Obamacare health care reforms, which Romney had pledged to repeal.

Moreover, Obama’s victory was a triumph over a policy of obstruction from the Republican Party, that began the night of his inauguration and continued throughout his first term.

In case anyone has had a negative response to the title, please read through what I have written before making your judgement. I am not saying Islamic Financial law or Islamic law should be fully implemented in countries that it is not currently implemented or if the citizens of that country do not want to follow its law. Rather the concepts used within Islamic finance provides solutions to the problems within the conventional banking system.
