We have to deal with Radical Muslims Now but not just Al-Qaida
On May 14th 2011, protesters, most of them Muslim, came from three country’s borders, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza and demonstrated in the territories that were occupied by Israel since June 5th 1967. Israeli troops shot at those people and killed at least 12 people.
At about the same time thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo surrounded it. They set fire to an Israeli flag, chanted anti-Israeli slogans and called for the expulsion of Israel’s ambassador. 353 people were hurt by Egypt police’s tear gas. A youth organization accusing policemen used force to deal with civilians. This organization was supported by the U.S government at the time former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was toppled.
It is obvious that after Bin-Laden was killed the U.S and Israeli government are not only dealing with Al-Qaida they have to deal with the Radical Muslim people. They no longer deal with an organization but with people that might be increased day after day. Those people will not act as terrorists but use the democracy and freedom they are supposed to have to express their demands.
At about the same time UN war-crimes prosecutor sought an arrest warrant for Muammar Gaddafi, accusing him of killing protesters. Meanwhile NATO continually bombed Libya to protect civilians—rebels. Theoretically the UN should not allow any civilian to be killed in the protests no matter when or where they occur. That means the UN should prosecut killers in Israel as well otherwise its double standard will create international sympathy for the Palestinian perspective.
We might be entitled to kill or arrest all the terrorists from Al-Qaida but we have no right to kill or arrest Muslim people who have radical beliefs. This world might have more and more of those people if we don’t handle things right. That means we have no way to eliminate them but can only negotiate with them. Since we have to talk to them eventually why don’t we start to do it now? To reestablish peace in this world we have to make Israel pull out from the territories they occupied in 1967. They are only entitled to have what the UN gave them in 1949. They already have what they need – a country, they have no right to make the whole world suffer from their greed forever.
