This is bizare. A few months ago there was a lot of noise about a previous case where details later emerged that the accused rapist had mistreated the victim - but it was initially reported as a racist judgement of 'rape by deception' (the Judge's quoted judgement was categoric). Now (and I could no...

Others - please read my last post, and note the reference to Memri.

Edit : I put in a more forum friendly version of the same, hope you don't mind shaf. DDS

^Well, I guess a fuzzy mouth and pounding headache after necking down Brown Ales would make a McDo sandwich taste ok..

Indeed. But to lock them up for it -

Good points BB. I recall a few years back I was in a mall in Kansas in the USA and wanted to buy a dress for my 6 year old daughter (at the time). It was summer - but still, in all the stores I went, I couldn't find anything that WASN'T a boob-tube, mini-skirt or a very skimpy top. Seriously, my col...

I guess I'm stating the obvious when I say I believe that ideally people should wait until they are ready to commit to a lifetime with their partner... (spoken as a father, of course). But yes, Zubber - there should be equal emphasis on boys to respect women. Whilst this is a comedy routine (and I'v...

Shaf , this is an issue I am also very worried about, kids these days need to be put under a microscope at all times :? You mean like Helicopter parents ? Now thats the total other extreme end of the spectrum. I'm with you DDS- I think this is not only impractical, but ultimately counter-productive...

A video of China's stealth fighter test flight: http://video.sina.com.cn/v/b/44929492-1622669611.html#44667541 http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/50683000/jpg/_50683401_j20_1.jpg BBC news story on it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12159571 Pretty interesting to see how quickly Chin...

Sad news. It would be doubly tragic if the sanctions did contribute to the crash - the article says that spare parts are restricted too under them. The responsibility is with the airline though - if it isn't safe they shouldn't fly. But given the weather conditions described - it may be 'just' a tra...

^Not from what I've heard - the Tehran scene is quite vibrant from what I hear!

(But they may be less exposed, I grant you that)

What ever happened to instilling self-respect along with self-confidence? Parents need to teach their kids that "being different" is OK. It means being your own person. 100% agree. It is hard - teens do want to belong, and they all listen to similar music, watch the same movies and I'm su...

^I thought you were familiar with the vernacular used by the military. 'grunt' is a term used by the US military themselves, and grunts are proud to call themselves this term these days. Of course, I understand that your automatic assumption is that a Muslim can't express solidarity with enlisted so...

Sym - you are right, it is quite normal for people living under Military Occupation of their land to fight back. It was right for the French resistance, it was right for the Afghanistan Mujahedeen. Indeed, when Iraq had Kuwait under a military occupation, the international community not only passed ...

Dads are also on the hook - absolutely. I also totally agree about TV and media. Advertising is a major culprit as well - you can't move these days without seeing women in various states of undress selling totally unrelated things. I always jokingly make the point that the men who convinced women th...

:shock: DDS - looking at your first link, the guy says of the American Zionist Christians: There a number of influential Christian Zionists who would like nothing better than for the Jews to rebuild their temple in Jerusalem, because they believe this will herald the second coming of Christ [little ...

Ok, time for a recap. We have an article with some selected quotes from Zahar in the OP. I've asked herve (in the other thread) to produce the full speech and quotes in context, and agreed that if indeed Zahar denies the Holocaust, I will join in the condemnation of his views. I'm still waiting. I p...

It would be very interesting to compare and contrast the evidence, arguments and views of those who deny Islamophobia with those who beg to differ. Ahmed Rehab highlights a growing 'Islamophobia-denial' movement in the states. The usual tactics are employed to deny the obvious facts, but let's try a...

Huffington post asks a good question. I can’t help but wonder why folks are so afraid to call the mass shooting in Tuscon, Arizona an act of terrorism. ... So, what’s the difference between a mass political killing in Tuscon, Arizona and the same in Any Town, Middle East? Why Aren’t We Calling Lough...

Wow - I just had a look at your second link DDS. Wow. Double Wow. Despite the facts being out about Pat Condell's anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, and anti-Christian views, many self-described "anti-Jihadists" like Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs), David Horowitz (FrontPageMag, NewsRealBlog, Terroris...

Sorry to hear the news DD - I hope your family and friends ( and your stuff) remain safe.

Just to point out that Christian Zionists who support Israel - also expect Israel to perish, only they expect Jesus to do the slaughter (of those who don't convert) when he returns. Nutters for and against Israel - but with common views! But coming back to this thread's topic - if anyone does find Z...

shafique

Well, again you've failed and confused your experience with facts/evidence/reality. Have you actually asked anyone in the US military about what the term 'grunt' is used to refer to? (I could point you to military sites on the web which explain this, or even a simple Google search - but hey, you're ...

shafique

Yes I did miss it and I have no idea what you are talking about. I prefer plain speaking, not this smoke screen crap you deal in. No problem BM - I hope the below is plain enough for you. But anyway, back to the thread: if anyone does find Zahar's full speech and can show that he does contradict Ha...

You looking forward to the 72 virgins? bwahahaha

But, may I ask what this has to do with the Israeli Military Occupying force shooting a poor old pensioner in bed..? Was he one of those presumed to be guilty until proven non-Muslim? LOL

Cheers,

:) I think the problem is that perhaps the article is too long, perhaps? How about this extract: Get straight to the core of the matter here. Let’s not fool ourselves and everyone else struggling to make sense out of it. Loughner is a terrorist, clearly fit within the strictest definition of the ter...

Loons trying to justfiy Herve's nazi view points. It failed in the other thread and crashed and burned here as well. Sorry folks, but it is only herve who believes in hating a section of humanity, and the loons coming to support him rather than condemn his nazi views is a sad sight. Islam does not t...
