Review of Milan Rai's "7/7" (London Bombings)

07-07-2006 06:35

Below is a book review of Milan Rai's new book, "7/7: The London Bombings, Islam and the Iraq War".

The war supporting collaborating media mostly use the expression 'Stars' to indicate that those people - which are well known and now on hunger strike - are different from other human beings: that it is some kind of 'whim', a caprice, a sudden desire or impulse by the 'stars' who want the global genocide to stop.
