Yet there is no evidence that it was malicious. If vandals desecrate a Bible in America, burning and replacing the holy book would not be regarded a valid excuse for mayhem and murder. If Afghans cannot understand this mistake and have no other way to express their rage than rioting and ranting, "Death to America!" what kind of raw material are we working with in building a Western-style democracy in any foreseeable century? ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/28/pat-buchanan-for-what-all-these-wars/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/24/libya-historic-european-court-judgment-upholds-migrants-rights/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/24/libya-historic-european-court-judgment-upholds-migrants-rights/#comments Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:34:21 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=126813 allAfrica.com: The European Court of Human Rights on Thursday ruled that Italy violated human rights principles by spurning African migrants and asylum-seekers on the high seas, a judgment hailed as historic by Amnesty International. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/24/libya-historic-european-court-judgment-upholds-migrants-rights/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/11/28/islamic-leaders-demand-that-new-libyan-constitution-be-based-on-shariah-law/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/11/28/islamic-leaders-demand-that-new-libyan-constitution-be-based-on-shariah-law/#comments Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:37:32 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=119581 The Washington Post: Dozens of Libyan imams and other religious leaders have demanded the country’s constitution be based on Islamic Shariah law and have also urged the transitional government to get weapons out of the hands of former rebels. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/11/28/islamic-leaders-demand-that-new-libyan-constitution-be-based-on-shariah-law/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/11/09/libya-heading-towards-islamism/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/11/09/libya-heading-towards-islamism/#comments Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:21:57 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=118136 Middle East Forum: Amid all the debate as to what lies in store for Libya, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Islamism will be the dominant political force in the country.
