Here you will find an exposition of the truth about what is mandated by the Quran and how this is twisted and ignored by the fundamentalists. About a month ago the world media reported a shocking decision by a Saudi judge in which he refused to annul the marriage of an 8-year old girl to a 47-year old man.

The question is: does the Islamic law really uphold child marriage? read full story / add a comment

The Irish Anti-War Movement condemns the recent US bombing in Afghanistan that may have killed as many as 147 Afghans, including many women and children. If the reports of over 100 dead are true it will make it the most deadly incident involving civilians since foreign troops invaded Afghanistan in 2001. This one act of terror equivocates to over five Omagh bombings, which puts Hilary Clinton’s casual apology into stark perspective. read full story / add a comment

Anyone lucky enough to catch episode 5 of the 13th series of "South Park" will already have digested the idea that Somalian pirates could be directed by a little fat kid with an attitude problem. But now the Spanish radio station "SER", acknowledged through its long list of leaks for its links to the intelligence services, has broadcast fresh claims, it says is based on a leaked briefing from European military intelligence that the pirates are being guided from London. & not just a bedsit in Dalston - but rather insiders in the maritime transport industry and insurance sectors. read full story / add a comment

May 9th. "Irish Independent" ........As work/life balances go, he (Martin Sheen) seems to be onto something, looking at least a decade younger than his 68 years. The most recent arrest was less than two years ago, and related to trespassing on a nuclear test facility in Nevada. He has, he says, no plans to add to his impressive tally as he tours around Ireland this weekend with his grandson. read full story / add a comment

He is now suspended from duty. read full story / add a comment
