said:Mohanned, Zawaheri wasa thug and involved in many fights before being imprisoned. He had no purpose in life and was deeply affected by Abu Mohammad Al Maqdesi in prison and joined the Jihadis to "express" his violent nature and go to heaven in paralle. This guy is smart and has all his bright future ahead of him. he has a wife and a 2 years old son, and it would be a real disaster if such a guy decideds to be a terrorist.

said:I sincerely hope so as well. The station next to my work has been shut down just now because of a suspicious object.

said:Mohannad, I think I was half asleep while answering your comment. I mixed up between Zawaheri and Zarqawi and I was describing Zarqawi's CV. Zawaheri is of a rich family but he was always extremist from his teenager days. He got himself some military training and was part of the Jihadi cells early on. Again, Dr Asha is of different status.
from United States
said:Hi Batir,
I hope so too.. but I'm not sure about your idea of terrorists being uneducated with nothing to look forward to. The profile has changed.
This from today's Washington Post:
"Ayman al-Zawahiri, deputy leader of the network, is an Egyptian-trained physician. Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged chief planner of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijacking plot, earned a degree in mechanical engineering from North Carolina A&T University. The lead hijacker, Mohamed Atta, studied architecture. Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden was educated as a civil engineer."
Batir,
I too hope he is innocent but as rebbeca said the profile has changed, thugs and unemployed people are finding it harder to get visas into countries like the US and britain..the 9/11 hijackers were all on student visas that were valid, they all went to schools in the US, they can fly under the radar easier..I just hope that they return back to sanity before it is too late; here in the US they are giving visas to saudi students left and right, their king has sent more than 20,000 saudies to the US for "education" in the last year, I am always praying :)
Regarding the Thugs I know exactly what you mean, I am from salt, and I think you know about the rooted takfeeri ideology in the city which I think is only controled by the tribes and families..
I think I am also asleep, who is rebbeca? I meant natasha :D

said:Batir,
Yes, it would be great that Dr. Asha is innocent, but if it is not him it is likely another one of our “own” ultimately. If not Jordanian, then it may be a Palestinian, Syrian, Iraqi, Yamani, Pakistani, and the list goes on…
I wonder how many more wake-up calls do Arabs and Muslims need before they face up to this problem. I am not trying to assign the blame exclusively on Arabs and Muslims because God knows there is enough blame to go around. However, the root of the problem is internal rather than external. Internal wounds are further exploited and exacerbated by external forces which zoom in on the symptoms (i.e., terrorism) and fail to understand the underlying causes (which they contribute to significantly with their flawed policies).
Let’s start by taking a deep breath as we begin to review and understand who we are and where do we want to fit in this world before we try to solve our many many problems. But, during this process, let’s respect each other and listen to other opinions (especially opposing opinions). I have seen some of the nasty stuff people leave on your web site and it really is disheartening. Once we have that self respect, others will follow suit.
from Egypt
said:I will shed the some light on seriousness of this accusation, by raising some painful questions:
1- Does this mean that our schools, including the youbeel contributes to the creation of future terrorists? or at least be vulnerable to brain wash?
2- Does the Medical school at the University of Jordan foster extremist deas?
3- Will the university realise that its Nazi policies will lead to such conduct?
4- Will the dream of every Jordan to speacialize abroad be demolished because of a person like Al Asha?
5- If he is guilty, is he any better than Sajida Rishawi? Didn't he leardn anything from the Amman bombings?
I hope Al Asha is innocent, otherwise, this will open the doors for misery, tears, and disbelief!

said:Natasha nice to have you commenting here again. Maybe the profiles have changed but this is more serious and dangerous since it will block the future of thousands of good people from the Arab World.
Ayman I totally agree with you. I hope you continue blogging on a regular basis.
Bint Al Badiya again I completely agree with you.
from United Kingdom
said:Salam,
I do hope he is innocent too, it would really be a shame if a person whose profession is to "save lives" has instead decided to commit massacres.
One question though, Batir, how/why exactly are the new photos of Dr. Asha in the UK 'really disturbing'? (referring to Update 2)
Regards.
from Jordan
said:I am really sorry for Mohammad, I am 100% sure he is innocent, but unfortunately his name is already being dragged in the mud. Not only Mohammad but all Jordanian doctors who are working and being trained in UK. I am so angry that the government did nothing to support this gifted doctor, neither the Jordanian medical association. We need to support Mohammad Asha and his wife as it is a national issue now not only for doctors but for all Jordanian.
from United Kingdom
said:Dear Batir,
I still await your reply for my previous comment.
Regards.
from Jordan
said:Revival sorry for the delay. I think what I mean by "disturbing" is the fact that the untrimmed beard is always an indicator of salafi ideology. It does not mean violence necessarily since the Iraqi doctor captured in Glascow was withoutb a beard. It is disturbing to know that someone with the high ability of Dr Asha can turn to be salafi, while living in the UK. The influence is being globalized and it seems it is more acute in the west than in Jordan itself.
from United States
said:People such as the above-posting 'firasz' also paint a disturbing picture. How can any civilian be 100% convinced of Mr. Asha's innocence at this point when we do not know the full facts? Even if Mr. Asha is not involved in the planning of the attacks, people should be disgusted and disheartened that a 'brillant' man even associated with such degenerates. If he even had friendly associations with these men, his name deserves to be dragged through the mud. If not, Britain owes Mr. Asha and family an apology. Simple as that.
from United Kingdom
said:Dear Batir,
According to your response, the ‘disturbing’ factor is not the beard itself, but what the beard symbolises. The ‘untrimmed beard’—as you claim—‘is always an indicator of salafi ideology.’ Although I prefer not to make absolute generalisations, I do agree to some extent with your statement.
However, even the above assumption is true; I still believe it is wrong to label every person with an ‘untrimmed beard’ as portraying a ‘disturbing’ image. Similarly, one cannot claim that every “skinhead” in Britain is a BNP supporter. For even if we know for a fact that the individual in question is a ‘salafi’, it is still unacceptable to claim that he is ‘disturbing’. Salafis are not all alike, and you ought to be more careful in choosing your words. It is rather unfortunate that a well-respected journalist as yourself can make such erroneous statements.
Regards.
from Jordan
said:Revival, maybe I should have stated that it is "disturbing to me" and not generalise. At least, I can state my own opinion in my blog without having to care for the feelings of millions because I am a journalist and should not make such "erroneous statements". I always think I should have made this blog under a fake name to give myself a breath of freedom.
from United Kingdom
said:Dear Batir,
First, I don’t really understand what is meant by this sentence: ‘At least, I can state my own opinion in my blog without having to care for the feelings of millions because I am a journalist and should not make such "erroneous statements”’. What exactly are you trying to say here?
Second, you are free to state whatever you wish in your blog, but since you have chosen to reveal your true identity and have stated your support for ‘social democracy and human rights’, then whatever you utter will reflect both your stance and that of the “ideology” you represent. You may attempt to justify your statement that an untrimmed beard is ‘really disturbing’ by arguing that it is a personal opinion; yet that does not add any credibility to your persona and nor does it make the statement any less ignorant.
It is a virtue of men to admit their wrongdoing.
I say this to you as someone who admires your writings and has nothing but sincere wishes to you.
Regards.

said:Dear Laleen,
It seems that people start to forget or ignore the presumption of Innocence, a principle that requires the government to prove the guilt of a criminal defendant beyond a reasonable doubt and relieves the defendant of any burden to prove his or her innocence.
I could not reply earlier because, I am afraid to say that, I discovered that you were right, how could I be 100% sure that he is innocent at this stage. In fact, I was expecting his release without charges few days ago, but when time passed, I started to lose hope. I am fully confident that they are keeping him for a reason. On the other hand, what if after all of this, they could not prove his guilt. Is an apology enough for Dr Asha and his family? It is not that Simple. His General medical council registeration has been cancelled, so he will not be able to practice medicine nor to continue his training in UK. His career has finished and his life has been destroyed. “Simple as that”.

said:"Update from BBC"
A police spokesman said the woman, Marwa Asha, 27, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, was released on Thursday evening. Mrs Asha was arrested along with her husband, Dr Mohammed Asha, 26, on the M6 motorway in Cheshire on 30 June.
Why the heck people (except jewish/zionist piece-mouth media),call ita terror attempt?but,we may know why..and what for what purpose.
The truth about the "deadly" car bombs that led to airports and other transit systems being closed across the country as well as the UK terror threat level being raised to critical is that they displayed an almost laughable level of proficiency and would not have killed anyone.
Where are the facts aboit this incident?Personally, I dont believe a single word coming out of any british official's MOUTH!
The way british and american jewish-controlled media(just check it out babe)exposed and reacted towards the incident is a hysteria.
What about IRA possible conncetion?
Why Intelligence sources have refused to rule out an Irish connection?Simple...because that would re-open a can of worms concerning the MI5's role in past terror attacks, and specifically car bombings, over the last few decades in Britain and Northern Ireland.
Every major IRA bombing in England and Northern Ireland has had the fingerprints of the British government and the FRU all over it.
Ask Kevin Fulton.Read his confessions as a secret agent turned terrorist.
Former MI5 counter-terrorism officer David Shayler also saw documents indicating that the Israeli's bombed their own embassy in London in 1994 after a car bomb exploded outside the building in Kensingto.
To forget the proven history of the security service's involvement in car bombings and other terror attacks in Britain and Northern Ireland in light of this latest incident would be very naive, and as more information about the culprits behind this morning's attempted attack is released, that history is likely to become more prescient.
In the meantime,british terroists are in Iraq for one purpose: Terrifying Iraqies(by the way they are arabians and moslims,eh) and to murder them
from Jordan
said:bera01 are you serious man? The british police captured the two men who drove the burning Jeep into Glascow airport hospital. Guess what? they were not Irish but Iraqis. Then the british police checked their cell phones and presumably arrested some of the other doctors in connection to them. Personally I believe the british police more than any Aran security apparatus and the british media (BBC, guardian, independent) is both accurate and credible and I believe them and they were not hystrical at all.
AS for the description of the attack as "deadly" or not I hope that neither you and me or any other reader will happen to be in the proximity of an explosive car at any given time and place in this world.
I am disappointed that living in Canada has not tought you to be tolerant to other opinions and getting rid of the silly conspiracy theory.

But what about al-zawheri? And to be an extremist it doesn't mean that you have to have a beard or be un-employed, as a matter of fact all studies showed that want-to-be terrorists are mostly middle to high class people who are well educated..
