Kuwaiti liberal columnist Ahmad Al-Saraf published an article criticizing Internet users for posting opinions on issues about which they are profoundly ignorant, and for using grossly inappropriate style and phraseology that reveal their low intellectual level. These postings, he contended, sometimes contain accusations of heresy and are dangerous because they lead to extreme actions. Al-Saraf called on website owners to monitor the postings submitted to them and to censor those that are potentially harmful.

Following are excerpts from the article: [1]

I have touched on the topic before, but from spending time on the ground in the region in recent months it is clear that Iran is making significant inroads into the Latin America financial services sector and other areas.

In Ecuador, as I have noted before, Iran has set up a way for its central bank to deposit money directly into the Ecuadoran central bank. The stated purpose is to allow $120 million in credit to flow to importers and exporters in both countries to facilitate trade.

The only catch is that there is virtually no trade between the countries. In recent years (2006 and 2007, the latest available) Ecuador reported zero exports to Iran and imports of less than $500,000 each year.

The NEFA Foundation has obtained a communication from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban) titled "Regarding the Runoff Elections," which noted that runoff elections are being held again to "keep the attention of our countrymen and the public of the world diverted in order to hide their defeat at the military field." The Taliban instructed their countrymen to "avoid participating in the deceitful and foreign-made electoral process. On the command of your belief and the Afghani conscience, you should completely boycott the elections on the basis of the rule of Sharia."

The huge car bomb blast on Wednesday in a crowded market in Peshawar, capital of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, emphasized the extent of the terrorist threat facing Pakistanis as well as the success of Islamist media manipulation.

The Peshawar attack, the latest and most savage to rock Pakistan this month, left almost 200 people dead. Already in "bloody" October, about 190 persons perished in Pakistan's terrorist carnage. But Wednesday's bombing differed from the others in one important aspect: The deadly explosion was timed to coincide with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's first ever visit to Pakistan.
