hmm...I'm not really sure. Maybe we can discuss some islamic issues like someone previosuly mentioned...any suggestions?

Well...

The Guardian reported today on 4 former Guantanamo detainees and carried quite long interviews with them, although I think they were only extracts.
You can listen to these extracts and read the transcripts at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/guantanamo/story/0,13743,1646014,00.html

But just some excerpts from the recent interviews, which are very insightful, and just go to show and confirm the true barbarism with which the US and Pakistani authorities are treating detainees:

[At Bagram] ...So the guards caught him and they beat him literally to death. After which they dragged him in front of all the cells which were there and that's when I saw his body. They took him to the medical room which was also opposite the cell where I was and they closed the doors ...And eventually they carried his body out on a stretcher with the blanket covering his face and all we could se were the beaten soles of his feet that were visible. - Moazaam Begg

This is truly horrific!

We have been kicked out, we have been kicked by the feet of soldiers. We have become naked; they have taken our naked pictures. They have shaven our beards and they have insulted us in different ways. The way they were taking us to interrogation in Kandahar was really insulting and we suffered a lot and we had no shower for three months in Bagram and Kandahar and the same way for two and a half months in cells of ISI in Peshawar. - Badarzaman Badar

These injustices are insulting and degrading for a sincere Muslim and are but a way to "dehumanise" detainess and insult Islam and Islam's stance on modesty, as Lyndsay England and her cohort did in Abu Ghraib.

When they handed out Korans to us in Bagram I remember seeing the Americans passing them through the airlocks and throwing them onto the ground. People might think that well, its just a book, but if you believe like you do as a Muslim that this is the unadulterated revealed speech of God and it is the most sacred thing that a Muslim would have in his house. To see them do that for me brought about a sense of complete desperation, that I can't do anything about this and them for the other Afghans and various other prisoners it was intolerable. - Moazzam Begg

This kind of disrespect was reported many a times in the past, but vehemently denied by the people at the top!!

The torture we were subjected to include beatings and systematic provocations to try and make the detainee break some instructions. And when that happens a special team is called - they would run into the cell, beat and chain him up. - Airat Vakhitov

We have to expose to the public these crimes of the system speaking out for all of the international community, few people have taken the opportunity using legitimate or other methods and people are starting to understand what happened. Some people on behalf of the whole community say that Muslims are the terrorists, bandits and killers. I face insults in the streets. It is the fault of a group of people who speak out on behalf of the world's Islamic Uma. I think not all people share the point of view of Bush's administration. Not all Muslims share the opinion of Osama Bin Laden or Zarkowi. There is an attempt to cause tension between two big civilizations and we became the victims of this war, we were caught in the middle.- Airat Vakhitov

As salaamu alaikum
