IT’S TIME TO SPEAK TRUTH
By Bishop Fred Henry
Calgary Sun, Canada
Oct 1 2006
Death threats issued to Pope Benedict XVI, Muslims burning the Pope in
effigy, promises to conquer Rome and slit the throats of Christians,
at least seven churches in the region of Palestine torched, a nun
murdered in front of a children’s hospital.
This state of affairs is sadly ironic — violent protests from a
religion of peace!
We all have to move to a position where it is not sufficient to
reject violence generically, nor to attribute such violence to “a
few radicals,” nor sit back in silence. Even brothers can be wrong.
Many of us cannot help but ask where is the outrage, condemnation
and apologies from Muslims?
The position of the Pope concerning Islam is unequivocally that
expressed by the Vatican Council document Nostra Aetate: “The Church
regards with esteem also the Muslims. They adore the one God, living
and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of
heaven and earth, Who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit
wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham,
with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself,
submitted to God.”
The Pope’s option in favour of inter-religious and inter-cultural
dialogue is equally unequivocal. Dialogue is not an option but
a necessity.
In his first encyclical letter, Pope Benedict defended the truth that
“God is Love.” At Regensburg, he was defending the foundation truth
that “God is Logos — Reason.” This is not simply the result of
enculturation or the “hellenization of Christianity” but something
that is always intrinsically true.
Pope Benedict criticizes attempts in the West to “dehellenize”
Christianity by the rejection of the rational component of faith (the
sola fides of 16th century reformers); the reduction of reason to the
merely empirical or historical (modern exegesis and modern science);
and by a multiculturalism which regards the union of faith and reason
as merely one possible form of enculturation of the faith. All this
is a Western self-critique.
To highlight the inability to engage with the other in our modern
world, Pope Benedict chose an example, drawn from the resources
of history, which also demonstrates one of the pressing issues of
our time.
It is true one could argue over whether he should have considered
how his carefully crafted prose could be misread and manipulated by
the ignorant to fan the flames of religious intolerance.
Nevertheless, the dialogue between the emperor of Constantinople,
Manuel II Paleologus, and a Muslim scholar from Persia on the
irrationality of spreading the faith through violence was not a mere
academic exercise.
Byzantium was increasingly threatened in the 14th century by an
aggressive Islamic force, the growing Ottoman Empire.
The Byzantine Emperor seems to have committed the dialogue to writing
while his imperial capital, Constantinople, was under siege by the
Ottoman Turks. It would fall definitively in 1453. Muslims were
military enemies, engaged in a war of aggression against Byzantium.
Yet even in these circumstances the Christian Emperor and learned
Persian Muslim could be candid with one another and discuss civilly
their fundamental religious differences. As Benedict described the
dialogue, the subject was “Christianity and Islam, and the truth
of both.”
The Emperor was able to engage his Muslim interlocutor by appealing to
a shared, natural human reason and its ability to apprehend the truths
of God. As the Pope summarized, the Emperor was able to articulate
“the reasons why spreading the faith through violence is something
unreasonable.”
He continued: “Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and
the nature of the soul.”
The decisive statement in this argument against violent conversion
is this: “Not to act in accordance with reason is contrary to God’s
nature.”
I also think his lecture ought to be read in the context of the
Pope’s coming visit to Turkey and absence of religious freedom and
the persecution of Christians in Turkey.
The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Barthlomew I, invited
the pope in mid-2005.
The Turkish government formally invited the pope February 2006. But
shortly before this, on the 5th of the same month, there was the
killing of an Italian priest, Father Andrea Santoro, in a church in
Trabzon, on the Black Sea. After this, other priests were the targets
of threats and attacks.
For a few months, a number of the representatives of the Catholic
Church in Turkey have been living under the protection of unarmed,
plainclothes police. Their phone conversations are monitored, and their
mail is often open when it is delivered. More than being protected,
they have the feeling of being watched.
Last June, another important Church leader, the “Catholicos” of the
Armenians, Karekin II, visited Turkey. A reference he made to the
massacre of Armenians carried out by the Ottoman Empire during its
final phase earned him a penal trial for offences against Turkey,
brought against him by the magistrate of Istanbul.
Religious liberty is largely lacking in Turkey. This is also true for
the non-Sunni Muslims, the Alevi. Their places of worship are still
downgraded as “cultural centers.”
There is growing hostility in the Turkish media toward everything
that is Western, European, and Christian.
Secular opinion is outstripped by opinion with an Islamist imprint,
which is increasingly more combative.
An extremely mediocre book of political fiction published in Turkey
at the end of August, written by a journalist who specializes in
intrigues, Yuecel Kaya, has had spectacular commercial success.
The title says it all: Attack on the Pope: Who Will Kill Benedict
XVI in Istanbul?
In the view of Benedict XVI, the heart of the question is always
the same one the emperor of Constantinople and his learned Persian
counterpart discussed in 1391:
“Not acting according to reason is contrary to the nature of God.”

WHY AHMADINEJAD AND CHAVEZ ARE RIGHT
By Vincent A. Cowherd
Tehran Times, Iran
Sept 30 2006
It is amazing how the United States deals with its history by either
hiding its head in the sand or attempting to rewrite the accounts of
its shameful behavior. What is even more disturbing is that the much
vaunted “free press” in the U.S. is complicit in this intellectual
rape of the general populace. The collaboration between the delusional
political prostitutes that act as the government and the intellectual
eunuchs who make up the communications media has left the American
public deaf, dumb and blind to the truth.
Americans need to know that both President Mahmud Ahmadinejad of
Iran and President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela spoke the truth in their
respective presentations to the United Nations General Assembly
recently. By knowing the truth we will be able to see through the
politics of fear and the mountains of illusions and outright lies
that the Bush administration has used to drive the country into the
grip of the neo-fascists who hold the reigns of government.
Anyone who doubts President Ahmadinejad’s veracity needs to familiarize
him/herself with the 20th century history of the nation of Iran. It
was indeed the United States and Great Britain that in 1953 overthrew
the legitimate government of Iran, ousted Dr. Mohammed Mossadeq —
the legitimate prime minister — and installed their puppet, the
murderer and international gangster Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi,
to do their bidding. And, since 1979, when the Iranian people threw
that criminal out and took their country back, the U. S.
and Britain have been engaged in plot after plot to destabilize and
topple the democratically elected government of Iran. This cannot be
denied, and when President Ahmadinejad pointed this out, he spoke
the truth and exposed the lie that is the foundation of the Bush
administration’s foreign policy.
Additionally, there is no doubt whatsoever that the United States
government not only gave Saddam Hussein military intelligence but also
provided him the means to produce the arms he used in his eight-year
war against Iran, which caused the death of over one million people. It
is an indisputable fact that these arms included the poison gases
that were used against the Iranians, the Kurds and the Shia Muslims
who lived in the marshlands of southern Iraq.
The pictures of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands and grinning in the
madman’s face are a matter of public record. This cannot be denied
by the world any more than the Ottoman slaughter of the Armenians
and the German slaughter of the Gypsies, Poles and Russians can be
denied. The truth is that, by way of their puppet Saddam, the blood
of the dead in Iran’s war with Iraq, the blood of the Kurds, the
blood of the Marsh Shias and all of those others who were tortured
and killed by Saddam is on the hands of the U.S. government.
In the recent history of the relationship between the United States
and Venezuela, it is abundantly clear that the Bush administration was
complicit in the short-lived April 2002 military coup that temporarily
ousted the democratically elected president, Hugo Chavez.
The United States Navy — under orders from Commander-in-Chief George
Bush — jammed the Venezuelan government’s communications and supplied
the usurpers with intelligence and logistical support before, during
and after the feeble, ill-fated coup. After the coup was rebuffed,
United States government operatives — again under Bush’s orders —
spirited the coup leaders and their would-be assassins out of the
country and into the United States, where they are living today.
This was not the only time that the U.S. has been implicated in plots
to maim or murder President Chavez. In September of 2003, President
Chavez had to cancel a flight to the U.S. to speak before the United
Nations because his security people uncovered another CIA plot;
this one designed to bring down his airplane en route to the United
States. That same month, after an intense gun battle, Directorate of
Intelligence and Prevention Services (DISIP) agents arrested a man
who, in yet another CIA-backed plot, tried to kill President Chavez
with a hand grenade. Neither of these incidents was ever reported in
the U.S. press.
Political prostitutes and media eunuchs are as old, real and American
as apple pie. The combination of the two has been misleading the
American people for centuries, and all the current hoopla about the
comments of presidents Ahmadinejad and Chavez is the continuation of
a behavior that has led the U.S. into war and mayhem time and time
again under administration after administration.
Whether the administration is Republican or Democrat does not matter —
Teddy Roosevelt and the press had the battleship Maine lie, Wilson
and the press had the sinking of the Lusitania lie (the history of
the plot between Winston Churchill, Woodrow Wilson and the Rothschild
and J.P. Morgan “money-men” to sink the Lusitania in order to get the
U. S. into WWI is too exhaustive to explore here), Franklin Roosevelt
and the press may have lied about Pearl Harbor just to get into WWII,
Eisenhower took over in Vietnam after the French were run out of
the country and the press lied about it, Johnson and the press lied
about events in the Gulf of Tonkin in order to keep up the Vietnam
fiasco, Reagan lied about “the threat” posed by Grenada and the press
willingly collaborated.
Now the press is helping the Bush regime foist the worst lie of them
all upon the American people. It has been proven over and over again
by commission after commission and inquiry after inquiry that since
September 11, 2001 the American people have been consistently lied to
regarding all aspects of the illegal invasion of Iraq and the so-called
“war on terror”. President Bush and the members and representatives
of his cabinet have perpetrated this lie, and it has already cost over
2000 American lives, additional thousands of young American women and
men have been maimed and wounded, and it is estimated by some that
over 200,000 Iraqis have died. Day by day the number of casualties
keeps growing and the lie keeps going. There is no denying this fact
for anyone who is not deaf, dumb and blind.
President Bush calls himself a born-again Christian — he claims he
talked directly to God before invading Iraq — and President Chavez is
a devout Catholic. As such, both are familiar with the foundational
tenet of the Christian faith that says, “The Devil is a liar.” While
some may say that the words of presidents Ahmadinejad and Chavez are
coarse and abrasive, they cannot say that they are untrue. However,
when measuring the words of President Bush against historical truth,
no similarity between his words and the truth is to be found. To
paraphrase that old saying, “If it looks like a devil, walks like a
devil and talks like a devil, it must be a devil.”

FRANCE URGES TURKEY NOT TO DENY GENOCIDE
>From Times Wire Reports
Los Angeles Times, CA
Oct 1 2006
French President Jacques Chirac urged Turkey to acknowledge the mass
killings of Armenians in the early 20th century as genocide.
Armenians say that as many as 1.5 million of their ancestors were
killed from 1915 to 1923 in an organized campaign to force them out
of eastern Turkey.
Turkey acknowledges that large numbers of Armenians died but says the
overall figure is inflated and that the deaths occurred amid civil
unrest. But the government is facing increasing pressure to fully
acknowledge the killings as it seeks membership in the European Union.
“Should Turkey recognize the genocide of Armenia to join the European
Union?” Chirac asked, echoing a question posed by a reporter in
Yerevan, the Armenian capital. “Honestly, I believe so.”

DARBINYAN: TENSION BETWEEN AZERBAIJAN AND ARMENIA HAS BEEN ESCALATED RECENTLY
Arka News Agency, Armenia
Sept 30 2006
YEREVAN, September 29. /ARKA/. Tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia
has been escalated recently, Armen Darbinyan, Russian-Armenian
(Slavonic) Institute rector and former Armenian PM, said Thursday
answering ARKA News Agency’s question.
In his opinion, mutually acceptable solution should be found and
willingness for mutual concessions should be displayed by the sides.
“Our communities should be ready for that to continue dialogue and
find compromises”, he said.
Darbinyan said “each side should make a step back from existing
status-quo”.
He is convinced that there will be no prospects for Karabakh conflict
settlement “unless we understand that”.

ARMENIANS: EU WRONG ON TURKEY
By Andrew Borowiec
Washington Times, DC
Oct 1 2006
NICOSIA, Cyprus — The Armenian quest for Turkey’s admission that
it massacred ethnic Armenians nearly a century ago has suffered
a setback with an EU decision to drop the historic “guilt clause”
as a requirement for EU membership.
The European Parliament’s action last week was merely consultative,
but nonetheless was seen as a considerable blow to Armenian hopes.
A member of the Armenian diaspora in Cyprus said the community would
never give up its struggle to obtain international recognition of
“genocide” applying to the World War I deaths of more than 1 million
Turkish Armenians, starved, shot or bayoneted during a forced
“resettlement” march across the desert to Syria.
Some Armenians feel that the dropping of the proposed precondition
paragraph by the EU parliamentarians was influenced by governments
pushing for Muslim Turkey’s EU membership.
Canada’s reference to the Armenian “genocide” and the French plan
to penalize those who deny it caused a crisis earlier this year in
relations between the two countries and Turkey.
The issue appeared to have been shelved after Turkey threatened
“irreparable damage,” particularly in its relations with France,
Turkey’s major economic partner but also home to an influential
Armenian diaspora of more than 200,000.
Turkey has systematically rejected efforts to blame it for the
massacres perpetrated by the collapsing Ottoman regime that preceded
modern Turkey.
Ankara’s official version is that some 300,000 Armenians died in
1915-17 because of war, disease, famine and ethnic conflict rather
than as a result of any policy of ethnic extermination.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described efforts to add the
admission of Turkish guilt into official membership requirements as
a violation of EU rules.
“We do not ask for privileges from the EU, but putting forward new
criteria is unacceptable to us,” Mr. Erdogan said recently.
Ottoman Turkey, at war with Russia during World War I, accused its
Armenian community of pro-Russian sympathies and of acting as the
enemy’s “fifth column.”
The international campaign for admission of Turkey’s guilt is
spearheaded by the Armenian diaspora of some 2 million rather than
by the former Soviet republic of Armenia with a population of more
than 3 million.

CHIRAC: TURKEY SHOULD USE TERM GENOCIDE
Associated Press
Sept 30 2006
YEREVAN, Armenia — French President Jacques Chirac urged Turkey on
Saturday to acknowledge the mass killings of Armenians in the early
20th century as genocide.
Armenians say that as many as 1.5 million of their ancestors were
killed in 1915-1923 in an organized campaign to force them out of
eastern Turkey and have pushed for recognition around the world of
the killings as genocide.
Turkey acknowledges that large numbers of Armenians died, but says
the overall figure is inflated and that the deaths occurred in the
civil unrest during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. But Ankara
is facing increasing pressure to fully acknowledge the killings,
particularly as it seeks membership in the European Union.
“Should Turkey recognize the genocide of Armenia to join the European
Union?” Chirac asked, echoing a question posed by a reporter at a
joint news conference with Armenian President Robert Kocharian.
“Honestly, I believe so. Each country grows by acknowledging its
dramas and errors of the past.”
Chirac’s comments went further than in the past, using the word
genocide directly for the first time. In 2004, Chirac said Turkey
should recognize the killings and make “an effort at memory” to join
the EU. France’s parliament has officially recognized the killings
as genocide.
Chirac has personally supported Turkey’s entry into the 25-nation EU,
though many French have grave misgivings, fearing an influx of cheap
labor and questioning Turkey’s human rights record.
Earlier Saturday, Chirac and his wife, Bernadette, laid a wreath at
the Memorial to the Victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
Turkey and visited the Genocide Museum and Institute. Chirac wrote
a single world in the guestbook: “Remember.”
Chirac was paying the first visit by a French president to the former
Soviet republic of Armenia since in gained independence. France has
some 400,000 citizens of Armenian origin, and plans several events
in the coming year linked to Armenian culture and history.
“Can one say that Germany, which has deeply acknowledged the Holocaust,
has as a result lost credit? It has grown,” Chirac said, urging Turkey
to take inspiration from that and other examples.
Kocharian thanked France for giving “the force of law” to recognition
of the killings as genocide.
Chirac and Kocharian then participated in the opening ceremony for
French Republic Square in the center of Yerevan and attended a concert
by Charles Aznavour, a famous French singer of Armenian origin.

ADMIT GENOCIDE BEFORE JOINING EU, CHIRAC TELLS TURKEY
Kavkaz Center, Turkey
Oct 1 2006
French President Jacques Chirac on Saturday urged Turkey to recognize
World War I-era massacres of Armenians as genocide if it wants to join
the European Union, speaking during a visit to the Armenian capital.
In comments that are likely to irritate Ankara and put a further
strain on its relations with France, Chirac told a news conference
Turkey needed to face up to its Ottoman past in response to a question
on the nation’s EU ambitions.
Asked if he thought Turkey should recognize the 1915-1917 massacres
as genocide before it joins the EU, the French president replied:
“Honestly, I believe so.”
“All countries grow up acknowledging their dramas and their errors,”
said Chirac, who is on a two-day visit to Armenia, where he has paid
homage to Yerevan’s “genocide” memorial and attended the inauguration
of a “France Square” in central Yerevan.
Until now, France had refused to make a direct link between the
genocide issue and Turkey’s EU membership bid. The bloc has not made
it a condition of entry.
But a response to the same question by Chirac’s Armenian counterpart
Robert Kocharian was markedly softer, reflecting Armenia’s desire to
mend ties with its neighbor and improve its struggling economy.
“We don’t see any danger in this process,” Kocharian said of Turkey’s
EU aspirations, “but we would like that our interests would be
discussed in the process too,” he added.
Kocharian said it would be in Armenia’s interests to have a neighbor
“with a value system that allows for free movement and open borders.”
France, which has 400,000 citizens of Armenian descent, officially
recognized the events as genocide in 2001, putting a strain on its
relations with fellow NATO member Turkey.
A proposal by France’s socialists to make genocide denial a crime
punishable by a year in prison and a 45,000-euro fine has elicited
further ire in Turkey, but Chirac said he did not support the proposal.
“France has fully recognized the tragedy of the genocide and all
the rest is more like polemics than legislative reality,” he said of
the proposal.
Armenia has campaigned for Turkey to recognize the WWI massacres,
in which it says 1.5 million Armenians died, as genocide.
But Turkey argues that that 300,000 Armenians and at least as many
Turks died in an internal conflict sparked by attempts by Armenians
to win independence in eastern Anatolia.
Today’s Armenia is in an unenviable geopolitical position.
Flanked to the south-west by historical foe Turkey, its eastern borders
press up against Azerbaijan, with which Yerevan is still technically
at war over the Nagorny Karabakh enclave.
As a result, its only access to the outside world is through Iran
and Georgia.
But as relations between Russia and Georgia sour, exemplified by
this week’s Russian-spy row in Tbilisi, transporting Russian goods
to Moscow’s ally Armenia has become more difficult.
“Armenia is very interested in the normalization of Georgian-Russian
relations because it directly effects our economy,” Kocharian said.
Chirac, whose country makes up part of the so-called Minsk Group of
mediators between Armenia and Azerbaijan, has tried to personally
intervene in their conflict by meeting both presidents in Paris
earlier this year.
A framework agreement on the resolution of the territorial dispute
was widely hoped for during a Paris meeting between the two Caucasus
presidents, however no visible progress was made.
Chirac defended the Minsk Group, which Azerbaijan has criticized,
saying its experts “have done good work, of course in an infinitely
complex situation.”
The ethnic-Armenian enclave of Karabakh is within Azerbaijan’s
territory but Armenians currently control it as well as seven
surrounding Azerbaijani regions.
Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced by the war, in which
some 25,000 people died, ending in a shaky 1994 cease-fire.

CHIRAC: ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IS AN EU PROVISION
Sabah, Turkey
Sept 30 2006
French President of the Republic Jacques Chirac has intimidated Turkey
during his visit to Armenia.
He used the word “genocide” for the first time and many times during
his visit.
He said “Turkey should recognize the genocide in order to become an EU
member” He related this issue with the Nazis: “Germany has recognized
the Jewish genocide and grew even bigger”
Chirac insists: “Recognize the Armenian genocide”
Becoming the first Western leader to visit Yerevan, French President
of the Republic Jacques Chirac used the word “genocide” for the first
time in Armenia. Stating that Turkey should recognize the genocide in
order to become an EU member, Chirac said: “After the Jewish holocaust,
Germany has recognized it and defrayed its costs. But this did not
descend Germany. In fact, Germany has grown even bigger in the eyes
of the world. Now it is time for Turkey to play a memory game and to
face reality.”

GLASGOW GIRLS RENEW TV BATTLE AGAINST DAWN RAIDS
By Ulla Schott
Sunday Herald, UK
Oct 1 2006
THE Glasgow teenagers who waged a high-profile campaign against
“dawn raids” by the immigration authorities are making and starring
in a new BBC documentary.
The group of girls from Drumchapel High School began their battle for
asylum seekers’ rights when a fellow pupil, Agnesa Murselaj, and her
family were detained by immigration officials during a dawn raid.
Their successful campaign to prevent the family being deported to
Kosovo after their asylum applications failed was the subject of an
award-winning BBC film shown in August 2005, Tales From The Edge:
The Glasgow Girls.
But when the teenagers, now widely known as the Glasgow Girls, became
involved just a month later in the controversial removal of the Vucaj
family, the BBC approached them to make a second film. This time,
however, the documentary will be composed of video diaries kept by
the girls themselves.
Lindsay Hill, the BBC producer behind both films, said: “The first
film was broadcast on BBC Scotland in the Tales From The Edge series
on August 31, 2005. And in the following September the children’s
commissioner for Scotland, Professor Kathleen Marshall, talked on all
the media of the need to make a big public outcry about the scandal
of dawn raids and the brutal treatment of asylum seekers and their
children.
“Shortly after that, the Vucaj family were taken. And I realised I
had to go on and cover that with the camera and keep on filming. So
immediately after the first broadcast it all started off again.”
Marshall said the new film will show how the girls developed from
determined teenagers into seasoned campaigners.
“The second film is about the year in which they became politically
aware human rights campaigners. It is an ‘observational documentary’
using fly-on-the-wall methods. It records what actually happens in
the girls’ lives.”
The teenagers – Amal Azzudin from Somalia, Kosovan Roma Agnesa
Murselaj, Roza Salih from Kurdistan, Polish Roma Ewelina Siwak and
Scots Emma Clifford, Jennifer McCarron and Toni Henderson – have
become increasingly influential voices. Their intervention in the
Vucaj case led to a national debate on the ethics of dawn raids.
Meanwhile, last December they helped win a reprieve for two
asylum-seeker families facing deportation, the Gorbachovas from
Belarus and the Hakobians from Armenia.
They have now won a clutch of awards for their appeals, including
Best Public Campaign at The Herald Diageo Politician of the Year
Awards last December.
They were also invited to the Scottish parliament, where they met the
first minister and secured an agreement not to deport asylum-seeker
families during examination times.
Glasgow Girl Amal Azzudin said she believed the second film would be
more revealing than the first. “I think that the second film is going
to be even better than the first, because it is going to open the
eyes of the audience even more, as there are a lot of campaigns going
to be in it, like when we went to the parliament and what happened
since we lost the Vucaj family. It is going to educate people to what
is going on in Scotland. I work with a lot of people who don’t know
what’s going on, even people in college don’t know.”
Roza Salih added: “In the film we speak about our lives and our
problems. We have two cameras and we share them between us.
“For one year we have been doing this and then we are
taking it to our journalist and she is editing it with us and doing
the voice-overs.”
Rosemary Burnett, director of Amnesty International Scotland, said
the girls showed that motivated young people can effect real change.
“The Glasgow Girls’ campaigns raised the issue of the devastating
eff ects of dawn raids on their classmates and on themselves. This
led to more political movement than had been achieved by human rights
NGOs and refugee organisations.
“We look forward to seeing the second film and hope it will inspire
other young people to take action,” she said.
The documentary is due to be broadcast at the start of November
on BBC2.
