Does the heat make some pets hyper-active and start barking in German??!

(Resistance is futile. Lol. Lol. Lol.

)

But seriously a timely reminder for those with pets in Dubai to be thoughtful.

Thanks for posting.

Cheers,

"Disgusting. This is the only known case of a Muslim man taking an EDL member as his wife. Generally because they are all pretty ugly. Imagine his shock when he takes this blokes balaclava off!"

How I laughed!!

The film called them the Evisu Defence League..

The Muslim dudes saying that the EDL were wearing fakes that were bought off the Muslims was an ironic twist too..

In 2010 over 2000 paedophiles convicted in the UK. A Freedom of Information request to the Ministry of Justice found that in 2005, 1,363 people were convicted while in 2010, it was 2,135. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14596811 Over the past 15 years, that would be around 10 to 20 thousand convictions...

From the Jewish Chronicle, and picked up by Loonwatch. David J. Wasserstein, professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University penned an interesting and refreshing article that likely caused the heads of Islamophobes to explode, titled, So, What did the Muslims do for the Jews? He argues that bef...

Should be simple enough to prove Yes, I agree. The evidence is in his article. Did you read it? Play close attention to the dates etc. You may want to re-read the bit in the quote above which says: laying foundations for subsequent Jewish cultural prosperity - also in Christendom - through the medi...

^I'm still not sure whether it is eh trying to not post like eh, or another MSG trying to post like eh. I agree it could be the young one returned. However, the failure when it comes to statistics to back up Islamophobic myths is a common trait so can't tell them apart on this point alone. ;) Cheers...

Another excellent talk by Hans Rosling - this time on Religion and Babies, and about the growth of the world population.

The Queen has 5 children. Her parents only had 2. RC - do you remember your statistics/maths classes? You do understand what an average is? When the average number of children per woman is high or low, there will be women in that society who have no children, some will have only one, others will hav...

I've read it, and also 'Why the West Rules the World, for now' by Ian Morris who broadly agrees with Diamond. I've started reading Collapse, but haven't got far with it. Coincentally I'm currently more than half way through 'Why Nations Fail' - which argues that Diamond's geographical theory is not ...

If you watch it again, you'll hear Rosling specify that the data IS reliable - as it largely comes from census data and not sampling. I am pretty sure that census data for Russia on numbers of children is available, and that religions of Russia is available from sources other than a census. (And the...

Straight from 'the horses mouth' - Osama Bin Laden in a private letter affirms that it is agains the teachings of Islam to commit acts of domestic terrorism. As noted in previous threads, the official figures from the FBI and Europol show that that domestic terrorists carry out the most terror acts ...

shafique

^Yes, that is exactly the distinction - however the reason OBL gave for not undertaking these acts was specifically down to the Quranic injunction about not breaking covenants. In this case, swearing alleigance to one's state means Muslims shouldn't commit acts of domestic terrorism. (Just read the ...

Cool pics. Coincidentally - these were featured on 'Flipboard' this week: http://movementsandnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/eyes-2.jpg http://movementsandnonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/eyes-4.jpg More here: http://movementsandnonsense.com/2012/06/shikhei-goh-macro-photography/ Chee...

From a few weeks ago, but another example of the hype and hysteria of Islamophobes who have to invent scare stories. This time it is from the EDL in the UK. The irony is that paedophiles have been exposed as being members of the EDL leadership! Islamic grooming claims 'absolute nonsense' POLICE chie...

Finished watching the documentaries today - very good, recommended. I think that Diamond does have a valid point about the effects on geography. I also think there is merit in the argument that the form of government/politics has a bearing on development after societies develop to a point where ther...

"That's the reality of politics" - spot on!

What little sympathy I have for these types of stories is reserved for the tourists who could rightly plead ignorance (in general and in particular about the local rules).

However, in this case there's no excuse and I agree completely with S&O, Chocs and DDS.

Some positive news from the US which shows that the Islamophobic opposition to mosques (and indeed the hype that Islam is not a religion) isn't shared by all US Christians..

I initially didn't see anything wrong/amazing with the first photo - but on second look I did.

Ambassador - initially, I didn't see anything wrong with the pic either.
