Go Back Home!

Harith AlDhariI was shocked to learn that in part of the “National Arab Conference” that will be held in Bahrain with the participation of 600 political and intellectual Arab personalities the Iraqi Muslim Scholars Authority President Harith AlDhahiri. (Source)

An arrest warrant was issued last year for this man for accusations of inciting secretarial violence and supporting terrorism. Not once have he condemned the attacks of AlQaeda on Iraqi civilians; he boycotted the Iraqi elections and ordered others to do so.

Accusations of a deal carried out with the Australian government for the release of the Australian hostage Douglas Wood for US $10 million has also been reported earlier last year (Source). And to add insult to injury, this dimwit was praised by Osama Binladen in his speeches for his warnings against the extermination of the kidnapping and killing of Sunni Muslims (Source).

Aren’t issues like those more important than the wave of attacks hailed against the spring of culture events? Or is there something just attracts those MPs to whatever issue that has sex involved.. I wonder..

Go back home you ba’athist freak, you are not welcomed here!
If you had a home to go back to, that is..

    I don’t understand the attack against the spring of culture ????
    I guess if i was offended by the spring i wouldn’t go but i wouldn’t attack it…

    Plus i don’t understand the secretarial acts and the secretarial hatred the is increasing nowadays…

    The list moves of the attendees is longer than my phone bill, and the names it includes aren’t the type you will be exactly “proud of”. One of which is Razan the daughter of Michelle Aflaq.

    The whole conference in my opinion is absolutely secretarial based, bias and uncalled for. The last thing we need around the country is to have a conference that gathers 70 year old around a table to discuss the future of Iraq in light of the Irani threat and intervention.

    It is less than 3 days since the talks of the Minister of Interior regarding the seriousness of the threat of secretarial controversy to Bahrain. I wonder who on earth invited those clowns in, and who is responsible for their actions and accusations?

    @Anon:
    Right backatcha, this one is a classic though!

    Excuse me emoodz ..

    I think you are mistaken for calling him a baatist ! before I start, I am not a baathist nor am I a supporter ! Baathists are not sectarians ! The party in iraq was made of around 60 % Shiaa, Kurds “yes believe it”, Christians ! The rest were Sunnis ! Iraq “during the baathists” didn’t fight Iran on religious bases, No it had an ideological motive for it plus the whole “sha6 alarab” borders problem !

    Regarding the Shiaas there, they didn’t fight them because they were Shiaas they fought them because they were having riots and supported Iran ! Now, I am not saying that killing your people is right ! Nor am I advocating that baathists were good ! All what I am saying is the ideology was against sectarianism and believed in a pan arab nation ! How they went about it in Iraq and Syria is the fault and misinterpretation of the leaders of the party ! I just wanted to clarify ! Being an Iraqi sunni “even if he is “a sectarian” doesn’t mean he is baathist ! My 2 pennys :)

    Thanks for your inputs on the post Munther.

    AlDhari is in fact Ba’athist and that has nothing to do with him being a Sunni (Source) I personally have very little respect to someone who will publicly go out there and call Sadam a hero, let alone the fact that he accepted and encouraged the horrors carried out by AlQa’aeda in Iraq legitimizing them as resistant movements. (Source).

    Away from AlDhari and those who attended the conference. I Agree with what you have noted about AlBa’ath not being “secretarial” and not favoring one sect over the other. To me, it is far worse; you see the essence of the “Arab Socialism Movement” is actually fascism. Talking about the great Arab Nation and one Arab Identity is all good, yet not when it comes before the identities within the nation itself; all of which was erased and replaced by the ideologies of AlBa’ath. Let alone the fact that the Ba’ath Party does not believe in the existence of any other nations other than the Arab, hence making it racist and secular on macro level..

    The main point that I wanted to raise about the conference is not its obvious affiliation to AlBa’ath, but in adopting the same ideology of “over-amplifying” the iranian/sofist threat to us today which is really uncalled for, as I noted in a comment above the last thing we need right now is some 70 year old shouting secretarial based slogans, and that is exactly what we GOT!
