Whatever happened to charity, the foundation on which Christainity is built. It looks like there's a lot of good money to earn in the Christain ministry. Setting up a church doesn't sound bad a business idea especially when you can diversity into education and charge more.

Kodewriter, stop spreading falsehood. Did someone pay you to stain the goodwill efforts of a deadman?

Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, has warned that Western action against his country would cause an "earthquake" that would "burn the whole region".

In his first interview with a Western journalist since Syria's seven-month uprising began, President Assad told The Sunday Telegraph that intervention against his regime could cause "another Afghanistan".

Western countries "are going to ratchet up the pressure, definitely," he said. "But Syria is different in every respect from Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen. The history is different. The politics is different.

"Syria is the hub now in this region. It is the fault line, and if you play with the ground you will cause an earthquake … Do you want to see another Afghanistan, or tens of Afghanistans?

"Any problem in Syria will burn the whole region. If the plan is to divide Syria, that is to divide the whole region."

Thousands of anti-government demonstrators took to the streets in two Syrian cities on Friday to demand the imposition of a Libyan-style no-fly zone over the country. According to the United Nations, at least 3,000 civilians, including 187 children, have been killed during protests against the regime. Thousands more have been imprisoned. The government says 1,200 members of the security forces have also died.

President Assad admitted that "many mistakes" had been made by his forces in the early part of the uprising, but insisted that only "terrorists" were now being targeted.

"We have very few police, only the army, who are trained to take on al-Qaeda," he said. "If you sent in your army to the streets, the same thing would happen. Now, we are only fighting terrorists. That's why the fighting is becoming much less."

On Friday alone, however, opposition groups claimed that 40 people were killed by the regime, and government troops shelled a district of Homs, a centre of opposition.

Seventeen soldiers also died in overnight clashes with suspected army deserters in the city, which foreign journalists are forbidden to enter.

Syria was condemned yesterday by Arab League foreign ministers for its "continued killings of civilians".

The number of protesters appeared to fall earlier this month, but has increased again after the death of Col Gaddafi gave opposition groups new heart. A general strike affected much of the southern part of the country.

President Assad insisted that he had responded differently to the Arab Spring than other, deposed Arab leaders. "We didn't go down the road of stubborn government," he said. "Six days after [the protests began] I commenced reform. People were sceptical that the reforms were an opiate for the people, but when we started announcing the reforms, the problems started decreasing e_SLps This is when the tide started to turn. This is when people started supporting the government."

Some Damascus-based opposition leaders say the reforms, which include laws ostensibly allowing demonstrations and political parties, are a start, but not enough. However, the leaders of the main protests say they are meaningless and President Assad must go.

"The problem with the government is that their dialogue is shallow and just a tool to gain time," said Kadri Jamil, of Kassioun, a Damascus-based opposition group. "They have to act to begin real dialogue because the security solution has failed. We have one to two months before we pass the point of no return."

One Homs-based opposition activist said: "Killing people is not an act of reform. We aren't calling for economic or even political reform under Assad, but for the departure of this bloodstained president and free elections."

President Assad said: "The pace of reform is not too slow. The vision needs to be mature. It would take only 15 seconds to sign a law, but if it doesn't fit your society, you'll have division … It's a very complicated society."

He described the uprising as a "struggle between Islamism and pan-Arabism [secularism], adding: "We've been fighting the Muslim Brotherhood since the 1950s and we are still fighting with them."

In interviews in Damascus, some without government minders, secular Syrians and members of the country's substantial Christian and Alawite minorities said they supported the Assad regime for fear of their positions under a new government. Those attending a large demonstration in support of the regime last Wednesday did not appear to be coerced, according to independent observers.

However, interviews, even some with minders present, revealed widespread and vocal discontent over corruption and living standards.

When is GEJ going to ban this women from being a public embarassment with her poor-logic statements

About Gaddafi and sons, I avoid gory videos, but inadvertently saw a couple of them.  Here's a quote (translated) from part of Mutassim's "interrogation" while he was bleeding from a hole in his neck, before he was executed:

"They are all medals. These wounds." Mutassim Gaddafi

What else is there to say? 

He died brave. He didn't come from a family of cowards

Is there any government in the world, which doesn't have opposition? What the West simply did in Libya is give power to the opposition to get rid of the government in place. Most opposers to Gaddafi are in the Eastern region - Benghazi, where the outrage begun. The West carefully calculated what Gaddafi would do if there was an unrest and created a fraudulent solution of no-fly zone to demobilise his military.

What people don't understand is that the protest in Libya was different from the protests in Egypt and Tunisia. The Egyptian and Tunisian protesters came with stones against the government, while those in Benghazi, Libya stole weapons from the barracks and were armed to the teeth. What do you expect any government in the world to do in reaction to such an armed violent uprising? Let them go on?

RIP Muammar al-Gaddafi

tunnytox:
A lot of Nigerians here seems to know Libya and Gaddaffi even more than the Libyans themselves, ironic isn't it? I'll recommend that you watch yesterday BBC panorama on BBC iplayer for posters who live in the UK. Forget about all the imperialism bull, Sh, t, Gaddafi was a wicked man and not surprisingly he was able to carry on with his reign of terror with help from Britain and the US. Most Libyans dissident were tracked down by British Mi6 and handed over to Gaddafi viaMousa kousa to be tortured and killed.

There's no need to cry or mourn Gaddafi, he wined and dined with the west but got carried away forgetting that he's dining with the devil, he was beaten to his own game and paid dearly for it.

No one deserves to be killed the way he was killed but he opted not to escape but chosed rather to die fighting, he should have take a cue from Shah of Iran who escaped to the US during the Iranian revolution

BBC, a corporation owned by one of the nations bombing Libya to tell you the truth about Gaddafi?

What wouldn't we hear about Gaddafi?

Gaddafi - Moderate Muslim
Rebels - Islamic Fundamentalists

Gaddafi - Soldier
Rebels - Mujahedeen

Gaddafi - Believes in Rulership through Jamarrhiya
Rebels - Believes in Rulership through Sharia

Gaddafi - Non-Traitor
Rebels - Traitors

Gaddafi - Anti-Imperialist
Rebels - Anti-Imperialist but support imperialism to attain power

Gaddafi - Brave man
Rebels - Cowards (Without NATO, they would have gone to their hiding places - fact)

Gaddafi - Non-racist. Respects African multicultural diversity
Rebels - Racist, believe Libya for the Arabs alone

Gaddafi - Believes in religious tolerance
Rebels - Sharia only

We are definitely about to witness a new destiny for Libya

I'm kinda impressed with the Gaddafi family during the period of the unrest. They've proved to the world that they're not just spoilt brats living in luxury but also fighters willing to fight for what they believe in.

RIP Khamis, Motassim, Saif al-Arab and Muammar Gadaffi.

They are true heroes.

Beaf:
Sail-Al-Islam is just another demon that will be beaten to death in the streets like his father.

And those that begun an unncecessary war that killed tens of thousands of civillians are who? the heroes abi? Crazy thinking

Colonel Muammar Gadaffi, a young visionary who begun a revolution that changed the destiny of his country from an Italian installed monarchy to a successful government of the masses.
The man who saw hypocrisy in western ideas and stood firm against them
The man who never betrayed his people to dine with the devil
A true man of the soil, a true king in Africa.
Those who shed your blood and those of your people to betray Libya are yet to witness the worst to come.
You had your flaws, you had your strengths. That made you human like everyone else, the fact remains you changed Libya for the better. May God reward your good works and pardon your excesses.

Like one Libyan man who was against the war said: the new flag of Libya is a sign of division. The black for evil, the red for blood and the green for the good few. If I were Libyan, I'll get the fork out of that country ASAP than be ruled by crazy mujahedeen fighters

Too much unfair blood has been shed in Libya over the course of the unjust NATO propagated war, I won't be suprised if there's more bloodshed. By the way, the people in charge now are nothing but crazy islamic militants willing to shed blood at the slightest provocation. I doubt if this country would remain the same. For killing their leader like an animal, they certainly don't deserve peace

I think Saif is on the run. Avenging his father would be far too difficult a task. I must say this, "I admire his courage". Never knew a PH.D holder could be this defiant a fighter for the cause of his country. Unfortunately, I doubt if he would outlive the next few months

Cos maybe he underestimated the power of NATO and the viciousness of the rebels
He never wanted to be tagged a coward
He vowed to be matyred for he cause of his country and didn't want to eat his words. I doubt if he wanted to be matyred that way.

duduspace:
Bad enough to be removed at all costs. And how many people has he killed again? I forgot, no records. Their lives don't mean scat cos of some so called supreme leader.

Yes please count, how many people he has killed. You want to blame him for an uprising when rebels looted weapons to fight against he government and the government defended itself. Go on! You want to blame him for NATO extending the war, go on. You want to blame him for the Rebels massacaring black people like yourself in Libya, go on. Libya was one of the most peaceful nations in North Africa. You're about to see a War Zone. But unfortunately people like you supporting a western-backed conflict would sit in your peaceful country while a victim nation roasts

all4naija:
Who have been buying the oil right from time? Craw back into your hell hole pal!

Did they have a choice? You sound like someone who bows every morning before the American flag.

justwise:
Is that not bad enough?

Bad enough to start a civil war on his country that has claimed 100,000 of lives? Dictator or no dictator as long as you can put your people first, then you deserve the acclaim. No Libyan was living in poverty isn't that an achievement? Why not take a look at your fake democracy in your country.

Gaddafi, one of the only leaders who stood with South Africa in its fight against imperialism and Apartheid. He remains a here to many. Libyan oil now to be cheap in Europe and America.

Sun of god:
seconded . . . .

Gaddafi murdered by Nato - and people are celebrating.

I'm not an Arab or a Muslim but to me the man was principled and far from silly - he was also no coward.

Now I see images of his body being dragged through the streets by these NTC animals.

His spirit will live on . . . . .

The only problem with this guy was that he was a dictator. Else from that he was a great man, a pan-Africanist. He chose to fight his last fight against imperialism which led to his death. May his soul find rest. Years ago, I saw Libya as a country I'll love to visit. Now I doubt if anything good could come from a land of cowards and traitors.

P/S: Without NATO, the rebels would have been history since March. NATO bombed cities to clear way to the rebels to invade.

I wish he went on exile.

I advise Ahmadinejad, Assad, Kim Jong, Chavez to start getting ready to defend themselves. When this happened to Saddam 8 years ago, Gadaffi thought it would never come to him. Now they made this his turn for committing no crime. The West simply sought for the slightest reason to start an invasion. For Saddam it was weapons of mass destruction, for Gaddafi it was using force against protesters. It's left for people to decide who the real evil is.

Waiting to hear from you all

Why doesn't he let his portfolio speak for him?

Great initiative.

@Poster, very funny.

There are so many things wrong with your website bro. I'm not insulting but I'm opening room for improvement. I really need to ask what kind of software do you use for designing cos Dreamweaver won't give you that neither would the worst Joomla achieve anything near to that.

Baecause Boko Haram don calm down, this people are looking for another reason to stir up the hornet's nest.

Isn't this not hypocrisy? Ghaddafi killed 200 armed protesters and NATO bombed him continuously till now. The rebels kill thousands of Negroes and the media is not talking about it and no international body or UN wants to do something about it.

Baba Ijebu is for the deformed and disturbed minds

It really perturbs me why people are so quick to demean others who are not like them. Abeg if they choose to play baba Ijebu, let them be. Millions of people around the world play lotto. Do you have a problem with that?

Guys, lotto is played in almost every country worldwide. It's just that the tag name we give to it here "Baba Ijebu" makes lotto playing seem ridiculous
