    Stop violence in the name of religion

    Stop violence in the name of religion

    In recent days, we have read with horror about Christians being asked to leave the city of Mosul within 24 hours. We have also heard about the desecration of Christian holy spaces and their symbols — the bombing of churches and a cross being removed from St. Ephrem’s Cathedral, the seat of the Syriac Orthodox archdiocese in Mosul.

    Summary⎙ Print Religious leaders unite in a joint appeal against acts of violence in Mosul and across the region.
    Author Prince El Hassan bin TalalPosted July 24, 2014
    These actions are an appalling blot on the proud tradition of pluralism in a region that has been home to Chaldeans, Assyrians and other churches of the East for more than 1,700 years. Indeed, the destruction caused by the violence has engulfed all of the diverse populations that make up Iraq — the Turkmens, the Yazidis, the Sunnis and Shiites, Kurds and tens of thousands of Arab families who have been uprooted from the region in fear of their lives. These horrors continue to unfold on a daily basis and follow a brutal period of fighting in Syria. Today, the United Nations estimates that one out of every three Syrians is in need of urgent humanitarian aid. We cannot stand idly by and watch as the lives of the most vulnerable, our women and our children, are destroyed in the name of religion.

    We have also viewed with concern the ongoing situation in Gaza and Israel, and leaving aside the horror of that situation for a moment, have been particularly distressed by how the name of religion has been invoked to justify the murder of ordinary people. Statements posted by young people on social media justifying the taking of innocent lives as “commandments from God” are a testament to how the pressure of living under the threat of violence can cause the minds and moral compass of not just the military and seekers of power, but also that of ordinary civilians, to atrophy. We should do all that we can to end the violence even as the numbers of casualties rise on a daily basis. Now, more than ever, we should all remember the quote of Malachi 2, verse 10: "Have we not all one father?"

    In these troubling times, when we bear witness to a moral crisis of unparalleled dimensions, we should recall the Islamic concepts of "haq el hurriya" and "haq el karama," the rights to freedom and to human dignity that are to be enjoyed by people of all faiths. To quote the words from the Quran: “We have honored the children of Adam and carried them on to land and sea.” (Quran 17:70)

    It would behoove us to remember the words of Rabbi Magonet citing the Hallel: “To get out of this narrowness, I called on God; God answered me with a broader vision. Give thanks to the eternal who is good, for God’s love is la-olam: for the whole world.”

    And we should pay close attention to His Holiness Pope Francis’ remarks on the situation in Mosul, “May the god of peace rouse in everyone an authentic desire for peace and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is defeated with peace!”

    Religious leaders and their followers must draw strength from the ethical precepts that have been set over the course of our civilizations. When people turn to their religious leaders for advice, they must not receive rigid statements drawn from the misinterpretations of religious beliefs. Rather, they should be able to draw inspiration from the clear ethical standards that have been set over time, the standards that are born out of the timeless concepts of justice, compassion, generosity and imagination.

    In this spirit, we appeal to the leaders and brokers of power in Mosul, the Middle East region and indeed around the world that the holy spaces, both in our sites of worship and in our hearts, should not devolve into venues that separate us from each other. Instead, they should be venues for dialogue and for conversation, so that we may recognize the values of human dignity and solidarity to which we all subscribe. Only by having these shared conversations will we be able to better understand each other.

    Now, more than ever, it is time that we heed the words put forth in the Quran: “There shall be no compulsion in religion.” (2:256). If we ignore this call for conciliation, attitudes will continue to harden, and we will witness the people of Iraq being torn asunder — within Muslims and between the people of different faiths in the region. We cannot allow this tragedy to unfold in a land that is home to one of the world’s most ancient civilizations. We must repay the debt we owe to Mesopotamia.

    U.S. officials claim al-Maliki to leave and blamed for Iraq crisis

    U.S. officials claim al-Maliki to leave and blamed for Iraq crisis
    BAGHDAD - ((eighth day))

    A number of members of the U.S. Senate need to change Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, because of the difficulty in running a reliable security file and conciliation between the sects of the Iraqi people.

    Sen. Eliot Engel, in a hearing in Congress, said that al-Maliki missed an opportunity to complete a comprehensive reconciliation among all Iraqis, stressing the need to leave his post as head of government.

    He added, "I have real doubts in the ability of Prime Minister al-Maliki, the Iraqi leadership to compatibility. In fact, the al-Maliki to leave as soon as possible. "

    He said Senator bio Sears, for its part, that it is time that the Iraqis must move forward to choose a government that represents all Iraqis and serve.

    He explained that the Iraqi people alone will control the future and he alone will make the decision to change from al-Maliki.

    The exposure of President Barack Obama in recent weeks to pressure from U.S. lawmakers to persuade al-Maliki to step down because of what they see as a failure of leadership in the face of a rebellion displays his country at risk.

    He joined the senior officials in the U.S. government to a group of owners and critics blamed for error in the treatment of sectarian divisions. (AA)

    QUESTION: Iraq. Yeah. Today, the parliament elected –

    MS. HARF: Yes.

    QUESTION: -- Fuad Masum, a man of solid political credentials. But he’s also a communist. So do you have any comment on that?

    MS. HARF: That he’s a communist?

    QUESTION: Mm-hmm.

    MS. HARF: We congratulate the Iraqi people on the election of a new president. This is a crucial step in the formation of a new government. Obviously, we’ve said this needs to happen as soon as possible. The next slip is a prime minister designate must be named within 15 days. They will then have 30 days to form a government with parliamentary approval.

    QUESTION: Okay. And the general feeling in Iraq that Maliki’s fortunes are receding, is that your assessment? Do you have anyone in mind that you might like to support, like (inaudible)?

    MS. HARF: As we’ve always said, we do not support any one person or any one party. We have been very clear about that from the beginning of this process.

    QUESTION: But you would like to see Maliki or the Maliki era end?

    MS. HARF: I don’t think I said that, Said.

    QUESTION: Okay.

    MS. HARF: I said we don’t support any one person. And we’ve also said – and you’ve heard Brett McGurk speak about this a little bit yesterday – that we have had concerns with some of the ways the Maliki government has governed and how they have not always governed inclusively. But we are not endorsing any party or any person, period, to be the next prime minister of Iraq.

    QUESTION: And lastly, the Maliki government announced that they are receiving Russian equipment or Russian military equipment. Do you have any comment on that?

    MS. HARF: Well, I haven’t seen this specific announcement, but – the last few times I’ve been asked about this. If it’s done through the proper channels –

    QUESTION: (Inaudible.)

    MS. HARF: I haven’t seen that, but the last few times I’ve talked about this, look, there’s a way that Iraq can get weapons from other countries. There’s a proper channel to do this. And if it’s through that channel, then I don’t think we have a big problem with it. We know there’s a big threat there that they need a lot of help to fight.

    Analysis: In Search of Unity, America Loses a Dear Friend

    Analysis: In Search of Unity, America Loses a Dear Friend
    By Alexander Whitcomb

    The reality on the ground, however, is that Iraq is already divided — quite literally now that ISIS has sliced the country in two, blocking transit routes between Erbil and Baghdad.

    ERBIL, Kurdistan Region—In a worrying development, the Kurdistan Region’s top security official is claiming that the United States is doing nothing to help the Kurds in their fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a terrorist organization that controls much of Iraq including a 1,050-kilometer border with the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region.

    "ISIS now has a lot of modern military equipment in their possession, and to fight against them I think the Peshmerga have to be much better equipped than they are," Masrour Barzani, the head of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) National Security Council told Reuters on Saturday. "For that, the United States and the international community as a whole should feel responsible."

    "We have had talks with the United States, with some of the European countries,” he added, “but no practical steps have been taken to provide assistance to the KRG especially on the military front.”

    If the Syrian civil war is any indication of American willingness to assist anti-ISIS military outfits, then Iraq’s Kurds have little reason to be optimistic.

    The war has been raging for three years at the cost of 170,000 lives, and ISIS has secured control of large swaths of the country. Yet US President Barack Obama’s administration has done precious little to uproot ISIS by assisting rebels affiliated with the moderate Syrian National Coalition.

    While Obama recently put forward a $500 billion “train and equip” package to Congress, senior members of the House Armed Services Committee have indicated the funding won’t clear lawmakers unless the administration lobbies for it.

    Adam Smith, a Democrat and the ranking member of the committee who supports the plan, was candid with defense officials. "Sell it, and if you don't, there ain't no way we're going to pass it!" he was quoted as saying.

    There are other reasons to believe that Kurdish forces won’t receive support, despite the fact that they were the staunchest ally of the United States in both Gulf wars against Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime.

    With an estimated 200,000 soldiers, the Peshmerga is currently the strongest infantry force in Iraq. The United States may fear that strengthening the Kurdish military would further the region’s independence ambitions, alienate American partners in Baghdad, and interrupt the delicate process of forming a new Iraqi government.

    The US State Department has made it clear that the priority should be fighting ISIS — but not at the cost of Iraq’s unity.

    "A united Iraq is a stronger Iraq and the focus should be on the existential threat that all Iraqis and the people in the region face, which is the threat of (ISIS),” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a press conference earlier this month. “We should not give an opening to a horrific terrorist group by being divided at this critical moment."

    The reality on the ground, however, is that Iraq is already divided — quite literally now that ISIS has sliced the country in two, blocking transit routes between Erbil and Baghdad.

    Even before Mosul fell on June 10, the country was effectively fractured. Baghdad stopped paying Peshmerga salaries months ago and ignored repeated warnings from Erbil about ISIS activity in the north. It has also withheld the KRG’s budget for the past seven months because of disputes over the Kurdistan Region independently exporting oil to Turkey.

    These days, Kurdish forces are armed with outdated weapons, and are essentially fighting ISIS on the cheap. At the same time, the scope of their activity has increased dramatically: they are now tasked with defending a vast new border against a well-trained terrorist group wielding state-of-the-art American military technology that they seized in Mosul.

    “This is an emergency, not an everyday crisis, and the caution that characterizes US actions often is inappropriate,” James Jeffrey, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, wrote in remarks prepared for Congress. “The costs of doing nothing significant now are greater than the risks of most actions short of committing ground troops.”

    In fact, the US isn’t only “doing nothing”: it is effectively blocking the Peshmerga’s financing. Independent oil exports are the only revenue source for the isolated Kurdistan Region, which is now tasked with funding the Peshmerga. Yet the United States has applied diplomatic pressure to ensure that Kurdish oil is not sold at a volume that could substitute for its allocation of the federal budget.

    "Our position has long been that we don't support exports without the appropriate approval of the federal Iraqi government,” Psaki told reporters, “and certainly we do have concerns about the impact of those continuing."

    American policymakers have made clear that keeping Iraq together is higher on the list of priorities than containing ISIS. Anthony Cordesman, a national security analyst at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, suggests that unity is not a panacea.

    “I think everyone is concerned that Iraq may not stay together as a single country,” he told PBS. “But the more serious problem is that having a single country where you have sectarian and ethnic groups that hate each other, that drive people who are in the minority out of their homes or kill them, is not a form of unity. It doesn’t really provide any basis for stability and development.”

    If US efforts to keep Iraq together prove successful, it may cost them a dear ally in the region. Many Kurds already feel betrayed by their fickle friend. On June 3, Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani assured the Kurdish Parliament that the international community would accept a bid for independence following a referendum.

    “Those who do not support us do not oppose us,” he said.

    When Al-Jazeera asked him about talks with the US two weeks later, he replied, “We hope that those who do not support us do not become our enemies,” he said.

    U.S. Congress passes a resolution not allowing to Obama to send troops to Iraq without consulting it

    25/07/2014 22:34:00

    Washington / NINA / The U.S. Congress overwhelmingly approved on Friday a resolution that does not allow to President Barack Obama to send U.S. troops to Iraq without the approval of the Congress.

    And eliminates The resolution, which was approved by a majority of 370 votes to 40 opposed, cancelled the authorization, which was enjoyed by U.S. President since more than a decade in sending combat troops to Iraq without going back to the Congress.

    Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives Ed Royce said that the return of U.S. troops to fight in Iraq could lead to a division within the Republican and Democratic parties, but stressed that the two parties agree on the need to consult the Congress before the White House takes any move on Iraq.

    The newspaper quoted what it called two of the most prominent Iraqi politicians that "the last meeting between Maliki and Iran index man in Iraq - Gen. Qassem Soleimani - represents the first sign that Iran also believes in the necessity of his departure."

    Soleimani took over leadership of the Iranian efforts since the rebel control of the city of Mosul and rush toward Baghdad, pushing the country into its worst crisis since the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2011.

    According to officials from the Shiites, the Gen. Soleimani was regulated by the Iraqi army and Shiite militias to fight the rebels and at the same time trying to organize Shiite factions in order to form the next government.
