A 2005 UNICEF report suggested 97%of Egyptian women between ages 15 and 49 had undergone some type of genital mutilation or circumcision. Last week ago Bodur Ahmed Shaker an 11 year old girl died after undergoing the operation at a private clinic in Minya province in the south of the state. Doctors at the clinic had suggested her death was due to a a heavy dose of anaesthetic and her operation is believed to have been a result of her parents wish to preserve her chastity.., Since then the Egyptian establishment has moved to close a final loop-hole in their legislation which had allowed a practise which has been common since Pharonic times to continue. The change to the law announced this afternoon followed statements on Islamic theology from the state mufti (supporting the end to this barbaric practice and reminding all it has no scriptural basis in either Quran or Talmud [old testament] ) read full story / add a comment

We do not know if the new improved EC Constitution which will be voted in 2008 includes a 'God Clause' but we do know that the good German Doctor Kues has plans for the women of the EU, which is to promote the equality agenda through rediscovering the traditional family.

Na polskie plaże, aby strzec bezpieczeństwa i porządku, właśnie wyruszyło kilkuset policjantów. Z dodatkowym zadaniem od szefów: zwracać uwagę na nudystów. - Opalanie nago w miejscach powszechnie dostępnych jest niedozwolone. Traktujemy to jako nieobyczajny wybryk, a to wykroczenie - mówi Paulina Grzesiowska z Komendy Powiatowej Policji w Nowym Dworze Gdańskim. ( Paulina Grzesiowska of the police in Nowy Dwor Gdanski which is the most popular stretch of Polish beach on the Baltic has announced new application of a law dating from the Communist regime. From now on topless sunbathers or people who bare any other bit of intimate flesh will face fines of 100 zlotys or 25 euros.

I thought MIchael Warschawski's views on the latest development in Gaza, written on June 18 and coming from a Jewish anti-Zionist perspective, may be instructive for some of our local defenders of Israel.....and, of course, an eye-opener for some of our 'left' Islamophobes.... http://www.alternativenews.org/blogs/michael-warschawsk....html The old dream of Ariel Sharon is becoming a reality: Palestinians are killing Palestinians, and Israel is counting the number of victims with great satisfaction. read full story / add a comment
