Hossam Bahgat - The US-funded journalist to push for Human Rights and Democracy in Egypt



Hossam Bahgat, a name that has been mentioned quite a few times over the past month or so. The Egyptian journalist who has been detained by Egyptian authorities and claimed to have suffered detention and torture. Although it is horrendous for anyone to have suffered such, we need to look deeper into why the media is focusing on a single journalist in Egypt that has suffered when hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members have not only been tortured but murdered.

It doesn't take long to find that Hossam Bahgat is funded by the terrorist sponsor George Soros Foundation, Open Society. He sits neatly on the advisory board under the Open Society Justice Initiative. Soros has built a global empire of networked nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) allegedly promoting "human rights," "freedom," "democracy," and "transparency." His Open Society Institute funds amongst many others, Amnesty International (page 10), Global Voices, and Human Rights Watch. In reality these NGOs constitute a modern day network of imperial administrators, undermining national governments around the world and replacing them with a homogeneous "civil society" that interlocks with "international institutions" run from and on behalf of Wall Street and London. And contrary to popular belief, Soros has built this empire, not against "conservative" ambitions, but with their full cooperation.

It is difficult to find a cause Soros' Open Society Institute supports that is not also funded, directed, and backed by the US State Department-funded, Neo-Conservative lined National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its various subsidiaries including Freedom House, the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the National Democratic Institute (NDI).

It would be almost four months after the beginning of the so-called "Arab Spring" before the corporate-media would admit that the US had been behind the uprisings and that they were anything but "spontaneous," or "indigenous." In an April 2011 article published by the New York Times titled, "U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings," it was stated:

"A number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the revolts and reforms sweeping the region, including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and grass-roots activists like Entsar Qadhi, a youth leader in Yemen, received training and financing from groups like the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House, a nonprofit human rights organization based in Washington."

The article would also add, regarding the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED):

"The Republican and Democratic institutes are loosely affiliated with the Republican and Democratic Parties. They were created by Congress and are financed through the National Endowment for Democracy, which was set up in 1983 to channel grants for promoting democracy in developing nations. The National Endowment receives about $100 million annually from Congress. Freedom House also gets the bulk of its money from the American government, mainly from the State Department. "

George Soros and his Open Society Institute also played a leading role in the unfolding unrest. Soros, in addition to fully supporting many of the NGOs in tandem with NED and the US State Department, also funded opposition groups working well in advance to produce new "constitutions" for collapsed nations.

In "George Soros & Egypt's New Constitution," it was reported:


"It turns out that the new Egyptian Constitution has already been drafted, not by the Egyptian people, but by the very US-backed protesters who brought about regime change in the first place. A Reuters report quoted an opposition judge, who had been hiding-out in Kuwait until Mubarak's ousting, as having said civil society groups had already produced several drafts and a new constitution could be ready in a month.

These "civil society" groups include the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information openly funded by George Soros' Open Society Institute and the Neo-Con lined NED fundedEgyptian Organization for Human Rights. It appears that while the International Crisis Group may be turning out the strategy, and their trustee ElBaradei leading the mobs into the streets, it is the vast array of NGOs their membership, including Soros, fund that are working out and implementing the details on the ground."

So why all this commotion regarding Hossam Bahgat's detention? It would seem as though the Americans are trying to gain Hossam some credibility amongst the public. Preparing him for a key role in further democratising Egypt in the future? He's certainly gaining credibility amongst the Muslim Brotherhood.

I'll let you join the dots...

Human's Rights are set by Allah

I see a lot of Muslims concerned about the Tories scrapping the Human Rights Act. They believe these acts that were devised by man's limited mind protect them.
Let us remember that Allah (subhanahu wata'ala) says:
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡحَىُّ ٱلۡقَيُّومُ‌ۚ لَا تَأۡخُذُهُ ۥ سِنَةٌ۬ وَلَا نَوۡمٌ۬‌ۚ لَّهُ ۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشۡفَعُ عِندَهُ ۥۤ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِهِۦ‌ۚ يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ‌ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىۡءٍ۬ مِّنۡ عِلۡمِهِۦۤ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ‌ۚ وَسِعَ كُرۡسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ‌ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُ ۥ حِفۡظُهُمَا‌ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَلِىُّ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ
Quran 2:255 
Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
It is not the Human Rights Acts that protect Man but rather it is Allah (subhanahu wata'ala) that protects everything.
If we are to look at it politically then we can clearly see that these Human Rights Acts are bypassed and ignored when it comes to harming and killing those Muslims that they were always going to attack, regardless of law. Palestine, Congo, Central African Republic and Burma are but a few that come to mind...
The correct way to view this would be to look at it from an Islamic perspective. How were the Muslims protected under the beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wassallam)?
It was only until the Prophet (saw) implemented the State in Medina, when the Muslims had protection, a shield to stand behind. Allah's (swt) Justice is only then present in its practical form, i.e. through the courts that are implementing Sharia.
“Indeed, the Imam (Khaleefah) is a shield, from behind whom you fight and by whom you are protected.” [Muslim]
If we are truly worried about our lives and the lives of our brothers and sisters then let us look for a permanent solution, a solution from the All-Knowing, The Magnificent. (swt)

Netanyahu taking advantage of UNHRC chairman resignation to bypass legal proceedings against mass killing of Palestinians

http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/head-un-inquiry-gaza-war-crimes-quit-over-israeli-claim-bias


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said that a probe by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) into last year's Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip should be shelved in light of the recent resignation of inquiry commission head William Schabas.
"After the resignation of the committee chairman, who was biased against Israel, the report that was written at the behest of the UNHRC… needs to be shelved," Netanyahu said in a statement, slamming the rights council as "an anti-Israel body” with decisions that “has nothing to do with human rights."
Schabas was appointed last August by the head of the United Nations Human Rights Council to lead a three-member group looking into Israeli war crimes during the 51-day assault on the coastal enclave.
In a letter to the commission, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, Schabas said he would step down immediately to prevent the issue from overshadowing the preparation of the report and its findings, which are due to be published in March.
Schabas' departure highlights the sensitivity of the UN investigation just weeks after prosecutors at the International Criminal Court in The Hague said they had started a preliminary inquiry into atrocities in the Palestinian territories.
"This is the same council that in 2014 made more decisions against Israel than against Iran, Syria and North Korea combined," Netanyahu asserted.
"It is Hamas, the other terrorist organizations and the terrorist regimes around us that need to be investigated, not Israel," he added.

More than 2,310 Gazans, 70 percent of them civilians, were killed and 10,626 injured during unrelenting Israeli attacks on the besieged strip this summer.
According to the UN, the Israeli military killed at least 495 Palestinian children in Gaza during “Operation Protective Edge.” The al-Mezan Center for Human Rights puts the number at 518, while the Palestinian Center for Human Rights puts it at 519. All three figures exceed the total number of Israelis, civilians and soldiers, killed by Palestinians in the last decade.
The besieged enclave has also seen widespread destruction of its infrastructure, reaching levels of devastation that UN chief Ban Ki-moon called “beyond description” in a visit to the Strip on October 14.

Schabas' resignation is "the inevitable result of Israeli… pressure on the commission," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said in a statement.
"Israeli pressure aims at preventing any legal action that would reveal the truth about Israeli crimes [during the Gaza onslaught]," he added.
Barhoum urged the UN to go ahead with the probe and not to bow to "any pressure or blackmail against its investigative committees."
For his part, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman hailed Schabas' resignation, saying it was a "victory" for the Zionist state.
"It is an Israeli diplomatic victory. However, it will not change the probe's conclusions," he said.
He added that the appointment of Schabas to investigate last year's war against Gaza was like "appointing Cain to investigate who killed Abel."
Israel had long criticized Schabas' appointment, citing consultancy work he did for the Palestine Liberation Organization as well as his record as a strong critic of the Zionist state and its current political leadership.
In the letter, Schabas said a legal opinion he wrote for the Palestine Liberation Organization in 2012, for which he was paid $1,300, was not different from advice he had given to many other governments and organizations.
"My views on Israel and Palestine as well as on many other issues were well known and very public," he wrote. "This work in defense of human rights appears to have made me a huge target for malicious attacks."
Schabas said his work for the PLO had prompted the Human Rights Council's executive on Monday to seek legal advice about his position from UN headquarters.
"I believe that it is difficult for the work to continue while a procedure is underway to consider whether the chair of the commission should be removed," he wrote.
The commission had largely finished gathering evidence and had begun writing the report, he added.
The commission is looking into the behavior of both the Israelis and of Hamas, the resistance movement that controls Gaza.
The appointment of Schabas, who lives in Britain and teaches international law at Middlesex University, was welcomed at the time by Hamas but was harshly criticized by Zionist groups in the United States.
Schabas had said at the time he was determined to put aside any views about "things that have gone on in the past.”

Dr Musharraf changing his tune and denouncing cartoons depicting Prophet


Rather then telling the Muslims that the Prophet was working in an organised manner to establish the first Islamic State in order to defend against such evils, Dr Musharraf is using the narrative of turning the other cheek and ignoring the remarks made. 

Muhammad (peace be upon him) tracked down those who mocked him in Mecca after establishing the state and executed except for one which he pardoned on request of a companion. 

However Musharraf states that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stood up for freedoms and human rights which are Western Liberal values alien to Islam as we are bound by the Shariah - so what exactly is his problem with the cartoons? Contradictory statement.
