Somali rage at grave desecration

published by You on 13 February, 2010 - 18:15

An old BBC article, but since it seems that Al Shabab will have full control over southern Somalia probably sooner than later, it is... relevant:

Since they began to capture large swathes of southern Somalia, radical Islamists have been undertaking a programme of destroying mosques and the graves of revered religious leaders from the Sufi branch of Islam.

The destruction of non-approved religious sites started last year when they began to knock down an old colonial era church in the town of Kismayo.

Most Somalis are Sufi Muslims, who do not share the strict Saudi Arabian-inspired Wahhabi interpretation of Islam with the hardline al-Shabab group.

They embrace music, dancing and meditation and are appalled at the desecration of the graves.

Illuminati how does it effect muslims?

published by Hajjar on 12 February, 2010 - 21:37

salams i came across a mind boggling video on youtube today about the illuminati, linked with the new world order and free masons.

Anyone tell me more about it, should we be aware of them, and educate ourselves on them and their brainwashing techniques?

It's really shook me up, after a few minutes i can really see the truth in some of what i saw.

if you put in illuminati music industry or illuminati alone lots comes up.

i saw a few links then chanced upon this user farhan, part 2 was compelling for me maybe take a look before it gets deleted. A lot of powerful posts on this subject get deleted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW43Mig1LYE&feature=channel

Ban on Valentine's Day cards at school

published by You on 11 February, 2010 - 15:36

A primary school in Weston-super-Mare has been criticised for banning Valentine cards to save pupils the "emotional trauma" of being rejected.

Children at Ashcombe Primary School were stopped from exchanging cards because the head teacher said they were not emotionally mature enough to cope.

Peter Turner told parents of the 430 pupils that cards would be confiscated.

One pupil's mother said: "I think it's outrageous. They're just children. Why spoil their fun?"

The woman, whose son attends the school, said: "It's comical really. I couldn't believe it when I saw the newsletter.

"My son is six and he's had a little girlfriend since nursery. They say they're going to get married, but we don't read anything into it."

published by You on 10 February, 2010 - 19:29

MI5 knew that Binyam Mohamed, the former Guantanamo detainee, was being tortured by the CIA, a Court of Appeal judgment has revealed.

Evidence held by the Foreign Office, which had until now been kept secret, shows that the Security Service was aware that Mr Mohamed was deprived of sleep, "shackled" during interrogation and threatened with the idea that he might "disappear".

MI5 has also been accused of feeding questions to Mr Mohamed's interrogators, leading to accusations that it was “complicit” in his torture.

Why Obama did not release torture photos: They showed American Soldiers Rape Children

published by You on 9 February, 2010 - 02:06

Not exactly a pleasant story:

Media Ignores Real Controversy Behind Torture Photos; They Show Prison Guards Raping Children

The real reason behind Obama’s reversal of a decision to release the torture photos has been almost completely ignored by the corporate media - the fact that the photos show both US and Iraqi soldiers raping teenage boys in front of their mothers.

The Obama administration originally intended to release photos depicting torture and abuse of detainees in Afghanistan and Iraq by the end of May, following a court order arising out of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit first filed by the ACLU in 2004.
