US says troops held by 'al-Qaeda'

US troops are operating in some of their most dangerous areas

The US military in Iraq says it believes three of its soldiers missing after an ambush have been abducted by militants from, or linked to, al-Qaeda.

Some 4,000 US soldiers are searching for the three men, who disappeared on Saturday after their patrol came under attack south of Baghdad.

The Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella group of militants led by al-Qaeda, says it is holding the soldiers.

It told the US to stop searching for them if it wanted their safety.

"Your soldiers are in our hands," the group said in a statement posted on an Islamist website. "If you want them safe, do not search for them."

I won't comment much on the article above, Though, I am against War in general, but I am also against fleeing from the battle field once we decided to fight. Fleeing and turn our back to the enemy is the most common mistake in battle fields.

I believe that US-Army should retreat from Iraq & Afganistan ASAP, but retreat with a plan, and the most important thing is that:
The West in general should reconsider his relations with Muslims, since the war on Al-Qaeda is now considered by many Muslims to be a War on Islam, I believe that the barrier between Al-Qaeda and the Muslim is falling down -read the highlighted text mentioned in the BBC article above- and within few years all Muslim(Sunni) will be Al-Qaeda members and all Muslims(Shiate) will be Jaysh Al-Mahdi or Hisb Allah members; if the situations in Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, Pakistan...ect. continue to proceed in the its current way.

King Vs Malcom

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
King, Martin Luther. August 28, 1963. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Though I am not American neither a black, but that quota was very inspired from me that is why I chose to start my post with, it was like the key for my whole interpretation of the human culture and the currently World-Wide events, like war on Iraq.......

King & Malcom, both of them were black, both are considered as a civil rights movement leaders; however there was a hug difference between these two men.

As I told you I am not an American, so I really know nothing about them, so I decided to do a simple search on them using the internet. I went ot Wikipedia.org and typed "Martin King", then I opened a new tab and went to Wiki again and typed Malcom X.
Without reading a single word of the long long Wiki articles, just from observing the pictures, I knew the crucial difference between Martin & Malcom.

At Martin's Wiki article I found pictures for him making speeches, but in Malcom's article, I found a very astonishing picture of Malcom X standing at the window with M1 Carbine in his hand!!!!!


That picture was enough for me to understand the difference between these two and I believe you, too, understood what do I mean.
But, what was the reason that makes Malcom to choose the M1 way and not to follow King's steps on the way of pacifism?
Was it the color of their skin? No, because both of them were black; Was it their nationality? No, because both of them were Americans. Was it their spiritual content? that might be the correct answer. Yes, Martin's spirit was Christian, but Malcom's spirit was far away from Christianity, It was the spirit of Islam.

if you have any suspicions about the Picture above check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcom_X

King was right, People should be judged by the "Content of their Character", not by anything else. Now the Question arises: What do we mean by Character's content?

Human Character is shaped by two main factors: [Spirit & Mind], Man is the result of interactions between his brain&heart, between his thoughts and emotions, between his Spirit and Mind.
Every single action we do is a result of Mind-Spirit interaction.

King adopted the spirit of Christainity that is why he was a Pacifism; But Malcom adopted the spirit of Islam that is why he did grabed the M1.
