and secondly have you noticed that strong leaders have weak second in commands, and weak leaders have strong second in commands.

British revisionist historian David Irving is being held in Austria under laws against denying the Holocaust.

An interior ministry spokesman said police in the province of Styria acted on a warrant issued in 1989 to arrest him last Friday.

Iraq's government says it has begun an investigation into the alleged abuse of more than 170 detainees held by Iraqi security forces in Baghdad.

The prisoners, many malnourished and some showing signs of torture, were found when US troops took control of an interior ministry building on Sunday.

The US raid followed repeated enquiries by the parents of a missing teenager.

Iraq's prime minister has promised to find those responsible for any abuse. Most of those held were Sunnis.

The allegations are a deep embarrassment for the Iraqi government, says the BBC's Caroline Hawley in Baghdad.

Criticizing a ballot measure passed by 60 percent of San Francisco voters urging public high schools and colleges to prohibit on-campus military recruiting, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly declared on the November 8 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, "[I]f Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off-limits to you, except San Francisco."

The Qur'an & Hadith

[quote="Dave"]Is the Qur'an mainly or in part a book of Laws?

Is there any aspect of the Qur'an people can add to or supplicate - or is it simply enough?

Is one person's opinion of what the Qur'an says better than anothers?

Is one person's opinion of what the Qur'an says so much better that it is as binding as the Qur'an itself?

If there is a shadow of doubt for any of the Hadith at all, and if the Qur'an is sufficient to all worldly affairs - why should muslims bother with Ahadith at all?

When - if at all - do muslims consult the Bible or Tanak?
