Iranian Presidential polls 2013

published by You on 14 June, 2013 - 00:38

I think today is election day.

The last president, Ahmedinejad has reached his term limit and cannot run again. Which the Ayatollahs are probably glad about as he had been openly in defiance to them in the recent past.

Most candidates that may disagree with the ayatollah have been removed from the running, including former president Rafsanjani and others including Ahmedinejad's preferred successor.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

Nobel Peace Prize Aung San Suu Kyiwinner finally acknowledges Rohingya Muslims and some of their plight

Events Forum Deprecated (Closed) in favour of a brighter future

published by You on 16 May, 2013 - 20:10

Salaam all

In order to improve the functioning of this site, the events forum is to be closed.

Fear not though, you can still add events by adding an "event". just go to "add" and choose "event" from the list.

This allows us to create an events calendar which is more useful than this topic and allows events to be listed by date.

(It allows us to filter the events from the new topics list.)

If anyone has any ideas on how th improve the fuunctioning of the events management, please do not hesitate to make your ideas known.

(In the future, it may be useful to also allow to filter by location, but I dont think we have enough traffic for this to be a real concern yet.)

A video which appears to show a Syrian rebel taking a bite from the heart of a dead soldier has been widely condemned.

The main Syrian opposition coalition said he would be put on trial.
