Freedom Flotilla: `A Battle for the High Seas, And High Ground`

The world should be outraged...

(CYPRUS) - Flotilla leaving for Gaza If you’re hoping to see news about the extraordinary events taking place in the Med sea around Cyprus on either the BBC or Sky this weekend. Forget it. For now. Despite the fact that almost three dozen Brits are amongst the 700 brave souls heading to Gaza on a fleet of ships laden with essential aid.

This despite the fact their news editors have the direct numbers of spokespeople on board and access to the live news feed.

It is important to make clear here that I am not ascribing anything to Islam, or making any claim whatsoever as to what Muslims believe.

Tragic as it is, there were no reported injuries, something to be very thankful for.
