"...Outside Ajdabiya, a man named Ibrahim, one of many émigrés who have returned, said, “Libyans have always been Muslims—good Muslims.” People here regard themselves as decent and observant; a bit old-fashioned and parochial, but not Islamist radicals. Ibrahim is fifty-seven. He lives in Chicago, and turned over his auto-body shop and car wash to a friend so that he could come and fight. He had made his life in the United States, he said, but it was his duty as a Libyan to help get rid of Qaddafi––“the monster.”" (if you want to read the whole article go to: Who are the rebels? by Jon Lee Anderson).
I'm wondering if I should do the same... Go back to Venezuela and, somehow, start a fight against Hugo Chávez. I would said he's also a kafir, an unbeliever because the "revolution" that he has brought into Venezuela only works for him and the inner circle of his environments.
What kind of "people revolution" is that? There are not even medicines/drugs for the new borns in the hospitals that are used by "his people"... "his people" that he keeps saying that he loves and cares very much but which - by contrast - is leading to an abject poverty.
Sadly, my feeling is that "el bravo pueblo" stay only a mere part of a national anthem that - national - has little if not nothing...
Perhaps, I should to the same as Ibrahim did...
