Sergeant Villalta takes notes. "We'll share this information with the governor, and make sure something is done."
"No! No!" says Sardar Mohammed, stepping forward. "We don't trust the governor. If he gets food, he gives it to 10 families. He puts money in his pocket. We trust you more than him. Bring aid directly to us."
My parents taught me to listen to good words even if it came from a not so good person. Having said that, i found Osama Bin Ladin's latest video tape release as being an integral piece of advice for all (if chanelled in the correct method).
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden called for Iraqi insurgents to unite and avoid "extremism" that causes divisions in a new audiotape aired Monday on Al-Jazeera television, trying to overcome splits by some Sunnis who have opposed the terror group's branch in Iraq.
Bin Laden said insurgents should admit "mistakes" and that he even advises himself not to be extreme in his leadership.
"Some of you have been lax in one duty, which is to unite your ranks,"
bin Laden said in the audiotape. "Beware of division ... Muslims are waiting for you to gather under a single banner to champion righteousness. Be keen to oblige with this duty."
"I advise myself, Muslims in general and brothers in al-Qaida everywhere to avoid extremism among men and groups," he said, saying leaders should not build themselves up as the sole authority, and that instead mujahideen should follow "what God and his prophet have said."
Bin Laden used the Arabic word "ta'assub," which in traditional Islamic thought means extremism in allegiance or adherence to a group, to a degree that excludes others _ apparently advising flexibility to overcome divisions. (The Associated Press, 22 Oct 2007)
One advice for Bin Laden- Take up your own advice and deter from extremism!
