The article below shows that the Talibans terrorisation of Sikhs is not justified by the Quran. The Taliban’s capturing of Swat valley and other parts of Pakistan are accompanied by the news of their atrocities in the region, which not only include the brutal killings of innocent citizens, mostly Muslims, on the ground of their belonging to different sub-sect of Islam, but also there has been imposition of Jizya, on non Muslims, Sikhs. While many Muslims have been killed and abducted many on various flimsy grounds, many a Sikhs have fled from the area. The failure to pay the full Jizya has caused Sikhs dear, while some of them have been kidnapped and others’ households-properties have been confiscated. Taliban’s logic is that they are imposing this as per the tenets of Islam. ... read full story / add a comment

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. But to those who are already familiar with the so called Islamic laws of Saudi Arabia this ruling was merely the latest in the sequence of several such cases of human rights abuse in the name of the shariah. The question is: does the Islamic law really uphold child marriage? ... 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

In the report on the annual police operation in Berlin delivered by local district German Federal Police chief Dieter Glietsch, we may read the usual justification for expenditure on kevlar, praise for "garda management", plea for more than this year's 6000 officer deployment, attention brought to the 450 of them who reported injuries and then one little jewel of intelligence. a 24 year old police officer who is normally stationed in Frankfurt Airport was arrested after not only throwing cobble stones at Berlin plod but then having a fisticuff go at resisting arrest. He is now suspended from duty. ... read full story / add a comment
