I invite you to take a look at this statement broadcast on Al Jazeera before it is removed: -

http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak

I do not intend to offend anyone, I just think it is worth watching.

The sound is in Arabic, but the text is subtitled in English.

Message 5,

Just what I said - I brought it to the attention of other members because I thought that it was worth watching.

I really do not want to offend anyone, or cause contoversy, but can I turn the question around and ask what YOU thought of it?

I thought it was good stuff!! Lots of good points...



Trouble is, i can't make up my mind as to wether she is brave or just stupid...although if i were her mother, i would be proud of the stand she makes!



However, certain people kill for a whole lot less!!



I just hope she manages to get home in one piece!

I would like to know more about the lady, she is very brave indeed and raises some really valid points.



If only more people in the world thought as she does, it would be a much better, safer place.

I applaud her for her immense courage.

A very brave woman - sadly of course she will be castigated for having a view, and no doubt eventually lose her life over it, at the hands of extremists and insurgents who don't believe anyone (let alone a mere woman) should have a voice; an opinion that differs from theirs. It is very much - their way or the wrong way. I think what she said, was right, but, one cannot reason with unreasonable people, so she is wasting her breath in this current climate and I fear, for decades to come. Shirin Ebadi in Iran, the Human Rights Lawyer, is just such a brave woman, only because of her high public profile globally (she was awared the Nobel Peace Prize for her work) has she remained alive, but these women, and those like them, are living on borrowed time I fear.

Pat,

Daisy Dukes had a problem at first, then discovered it was some setting or other on the pc - perhaps you could contact daisy and ask what exactly it was...
