Guantanamo: A Gitmo Guard’s Experience

What It Feels Like... To Be a Prison Guard at Guantánamo Bay By Christopher Arendt, 24, Student from Caged Prisoners I liked working night shifts, because whenever they were awake, I wanted to apologize to them. When they were sleeping, I didn’t have to worry about that. I could just walk up and down the blocks all night long. There was usually one detainee who would lead the call to prayer at five in the morning. That person was in the very last cell. The detainees, they sang … [Read more...]

Right & Wrong – (On Moral Relativism)

From Khalid Baig: As the entire world now knew, a few years ago Israel engaged in plain massacre of Lebanese civilians in broad daylight. Its soldiers were nothing more than common criminals killing innocent men, women, and little children in an ambulance here, in the U.N. compound over there, in homes and villages every where. Killing of civilians for political purposes is --by definition-- terrorism. So what Israel recently did, as it has been doing for the past half century, is pure state sponsored … [Read more...]

This is how the Muslims gain victory over the Disbelieving Armies

Taken from The Ignored Puzzle Pieces of Knowledge Many disbelievers, and unfortunately some Muslims, believe that the Mujaahideen today are some immoral crooks that have nothing better to do than to travel thousands of miles - leaving their comfortable lives, families, homes - to fight in foreign countries for no reason...
