"Mr. Mabe is no longer with us".
I read about this a while ago, but I´d ever listened to it:
Hilarious.
Mostly because I detest telemarketers.
Tom Mabe has a website:
Tom Mabe, the comedian nationally recognized for getting Revenge On those annoying Telemarketers, is now going after junk email, bad customer service, high gas prices and anything else that ticks off Americans.
And she will get back to normal:
Iranian Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi has issued a fatwa - a Muslim religious edict - saying it is legitimate for men to hit their disobedient wives. Shirazi, one of the leading clerics of the Shiite holy city of Qom, wrote on his website that "the Koran first of all advises a man to try and convince his wife to obey to him in a polite way and through advice, then by refusing to have sexual relations with her and, finally, if all this will have failed to make her reason, with physical punishment."The muslim in the following video seems to be a Woman-Beating-Master as he defines light beating:
The punishment, the leading cleric said, "must be light and considered an exceptional event, like surgery in case of a serious illness."
Makarem Shirazi advised his readers against "physical punishment which leaves signs and wounds." Women, he axplained, "are masochistic and sometimes they have a crisis and need light physical punishment to get back to normal."
...because of this.
An American Muslim group is criticizing Virginia Beach religious broadcaster Reverend Pat Robertson for suggesting that the Quran, rather than being a divine revelation, was a fraudulent creation of Muhammad to justify his own actions.And no outrage because of this:
Manchester's leading Imam has confirmed that he thinks the execution of sexually active gay men is justified, reports Outrage. Mr. Arshad Misbahi, who is based at the Manchester Central Mosque, confirmed his views in a conversation to Dr John Casson, a local psychotherapist.
...by their families. Girls, as young as nine...
Inhumanity:
Iran has one of the highest record of runaway girls and women in the world.
The state-run news agency ILNA reported in July that there were some 300,000 run-away women and girls in Iran and that 86 percent of girls who ran away from their homes for the first time were raped. The majority of such victims are rejected by their families if they choose to return after having been raped.

An Egyptian human rights organization has expressed outrage at the recent seizure of copies of a book that criticizes certain aspects of Islam.Let's just get rid of the problem...
The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights (EOHR) said on Wednesday that the Egyptian Censorship Office raided a bookstore and confiscated 280 copies of the book Modern Sheikhs and the Making of Religious Extremism, claiming that the publisher didn't acquire a license from Al Azhar.
EOHR said there was no official court decision to confiscate the book, which criticizes Al Azhar and its censorship on art and literature. The book also tackles the right of women to lead prayers, and separation of state and religion.

Danish party publishes Prophet cartoon online:
The Danish People's Party Thursday made available its online version of its printed newsletter from the month of May, which included a review of a German book on the Prophet published two years ago and one of the illustrations from the book.Screencap from the newsletter:
The drawing shows the Prophet as an elderly man leaning over one of his wives, nine-year-old Aisha who is holding a baby. The caption reads: "When a Prophet loves ..."
The party's spokesman Soeren Soendergaard said that Thursday's publication was not meant as a provocation. "We published it five months ago. We did not put it on the Internet to provoke anyone," he said, adding: "Any reaction today would be a little bit silly."Meanwhile, more muslim rage: Danish government sites hacked:
"We have our political views. We have freedom of print, freedom of expression ... If we held [the cartoon] back it would be self-censorship," he said.
The Ministry of the Interior and Health had its homepage hacked by someone angered over the recent Mohammed crisis
Muslims angry over the newest Mohammed cartoon crisis have taken their rage to cyberspace. Starting Tuesday, a number of Danish institutions have had their websites vandalised by hackers leaving the calling card 'P4R4DOX (Turkish)'
The University of Copenhagen's website was the first to fall victim. Early Thursday morning the content of the Ministry of the Interior's website and the Central Office of Civil Registration had been altered.
The homepages of private citizens have also been hacked recently, the result of backlash from a video ridiculing Mohammed made by the Danish People's Party's youth organisation.
Authorities believe that, as in hacks that occurred during the first Mohammed cartoon crisis, the perpetrators are operating from the Middle East and Turkey.
Fight for your right. To jihad...:
A small group of students gathered outside the university's Baillieu library to protest against the federal government's sedition laws and the banning of two books.Naive students:
The books by Abdullah Azzam - Join the Caravan and Defence of Muslim Lands - were banned by the Classification Review Board after they were found to justify Jihad and promote and incite terrorism.
"I don't think anyone's going to be turned into a terrorist by going into the Baillieu Library and taking a book off the shelf."
I am outraged they even considered it. Outraged!
And somewhat they are surprised over the overwhelming negative feedback due to this attempt of "cultural accomodation".
Via TwinCities:
Two weeks ago, Twin Cities airport officials were firming up plans to allow many Muslim taxi drivers — staunchly opposed to transporting passengers carrying alcohol of any sort — to alert potential fares of their beliefs with a different-colored light atop their cabs.The muslim cab drivers say its going to be "tough":
After a barrage of negative feedback, they've decided to scrap the idea.
"Since then, we've heard from Australia and England. It's really touched a nerve among a lot of people. The backlash, frankly, has been overwhelming," said Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport spokesman Patrick Hogan. "People are overwhelmingly against any kind of cultural accommodation."
It's going to be tough, it's going to be really tough, I don't know what's going to be next," said Ali Abdi of St. Paul. "We have the right (to refuse to transport alcohol). We are still human being(s)."You are workers in a secular society. Get used to it.
Europe appears to be crossing an invisible line regarding its Muslim minorities: more people in the political mainstream are arguing that Islam cannot be reconciled with European values.Update: French Interior Minister: "If Turkey joins European bloc, it´ll be the end of the political Europe":
"You saw what happened with the pope," said Patrick Gonman, 43, the owner of Raga, a funky wine bar in downtown Antwerp, 25 miles from here. "He said Islam is an aggressive religion. And the next day they kill a nun somewhere and make his point.
"Rationality is gone."
Gonman is hardly an extremist. In fact, he organized a protest last week in which 20 bars and restaurants closed on the night when a far-right party with an anti-Muslim message held a rally nearby,
French presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy said Turkey's entry into the European Union would "be the end of political Europe" and suggested it would worsen the "problem" of Muslim integration in the continent, in an interview to be published Thursday.hattip: The AstuteBlogger
"It would be the end of political Europe" if Turkey joined the European bloc, Sarkozy, France's interior minister, told the magazine Le Meilleur des Mondes, calling instead for a "privileged partnership" with the EU's southeastern neighbour. ...
"We have a problem of integration of Muslims which raises the issue of Islam in Europe. To say it is not a problem is to hide from reality. If you let 100 million Turkish Muslims come in, what will come of it?" the magazine quoted him as saying.
The minister, who heads the ruling right-wing UMP party and has declared he will run for president in next year's elections, also expressed concern that shifting Europe's border southeast would bring it closer to violent conflicts in the region.
"Turkey is in Asia Minor... I will not explain to little French school children that the frontiers of Europe are Iraq and Syria," Sarkozy said, naming two of Turkey's southeastern neighbours.
What!? Watch the news!
If you're a muslim you may not want to see this clip (contains dreaded cartoons). But you ought to listen to it:

NAIVASHA, Kenya (Reuters) - A couple caught having sex in a Kenyan mosque during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan have been sentenced to 18 months jail for what the judge called an "abominable" affront to religion.We've had a taste of it before: Porn In Mosque.
Peter Kimani and Jennifer Wairimu pleaded guilty to the charge of having sex in a place of worship after being caught on October 3 at the Abubakar mosque in Gilgil, about 60 miles north of Nairobi. Neither is a Muslim.
A worshipper heading for evening prayers found the couple having sex after investigating what the prosecution described as strange noises emanating from a dark corner of the mosque.
Kimani and Wairimu both pleaded for clemency at Monday's hearing, saying they were too drunk to know where they were. Kimani told the court he thought he was in a lodging house.
John King'ori, senior magistrate in nearby Naivasha, dismissed their plea.
"Having sex in a mosque is a most abominable thing to religion and only a custodial sentence can add justice to this," he said.
The dreaded cartoons...
You could actually get yourself killed:
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark acted quickly on Monday to quell Muslim indignation at a new series of cartoons ridiculing the Prophet Mohammad and advised its citizens against travelling to the Middle East as Islamic leaders condemned the drawings.Negative reactions...
The warning came after a public Danish television station aired amateur video footage showing members of the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party (DPP) youth wing taking part in a competition to draw images mocking the Prophet at a summer camp in August.
The Foreign Ministry issued a strong advisory against travel to the Gaza Strip and cautioned against travel to Israel and the West Bank, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey.
"A militant group in Gaza has made threats against Danes in the Palestinian areas in connection with the (cartoon) matter on Oct. 9," the Foreign Ministry said. "We urge Danes to use caution as the matter could lead to negative reactions."

I don´t read the horoscopes as I find them to be a waste of time. So if you were to forbid publishing horoscopes in newspapers, I couldn´t care less. But still some enjoy reading them, and they should be able to continue doing so.
According to the following article, muslim youths are obsessed with them.
The catch?
Islam (surprise) forbids them. Well, astrology in general.
Saudi clerics warn media over horoscopes:
RIYADH (Reuters) - Powerful clerics in Saudi Arabia have warned Arab media against publishing "forbidden" horoscopes, which are hugely popular despite a clerical ban.
"This is astrology, which is forbidden and is considered as a form of magic," a committee of senior Saudi clerics said in a statement published on state news agency SPA late on Saturday.
"The committee reminds Muslims and journalists in particular that it is their obligation to take advice from God, His Prophet and the clergy," it said, adding that all schools of Islamic law forbid such practices.

Prominent Russian journalist, known for her harsh criticism of the Kremlin’s policies and Vladimir Putin’s regime, was killed in the Russian capital on Saturday evening, local media reports said.
How dare they!! Well, their faces are blurred in the amateur video footages. You know, in case of a beheading-fatwa...
Danish TV shows cartoons mocking Prophet Mohammad (hattip: Hotair):
The images, filmed by artist Martin Rosengaard Knudsen who posed as a member of the party for several months to document attitudes among young members, show a number of young people drinking, singing and drawing cartoons ridiculing the Prophet Mohammad.This "Danish People's Party"-party seems to me a bit infantile, but completely innocent. It´s not like they´re issuing death threats nor chopping off heads or setting stuff on fire.
The faces of the young people were blurred in most of the footage. One cartoon appeared to depict the Prophet Mohammad as a camel, urinating and drinking beer. The competition took place in early August, according to Danish media.
Egypt's largest Islamic group, the Muslim Brotherhood, on Saturday denounced what it called "new Danish insults" to Islam and urged the world to boycott countries that allow offenses to all religions."...through peaceful means...". That would be civilized and not barbaric.
The Brotherhood's condemnation came a day after word spread about a Web video showing young members of a populist Danish political party mocking Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
(...)
Kenneth Christens, chairman of the Danish People's Party Youth — known for its anti-immigration stance — refused to apologize Friday for the actions of its members, but acknowledged they were problematic.
"It is bad style because it overshadows our political line," Kristensen said. But he added that he believed it was "OK to poke fun at Muhammad, Jesus or Bill Clinton."
(...)
The Brotherhood, which enjoys wide popularity in Egypt and across the Arab World, urged Muslims on Saturday to boycott products from Denmark and any other country that would allow such an "insult."
It also called on Muslims to "express denouncement through peaceful means, by demonstrations and protests."
The Organization of the Islamic Conference, which has 57 member nations, issued a statement today condemning the kids for drawing the images, because apparently a major Islamic international body has nothing better to do than worry about what moronic Scandinavian teens do in their spare time at camp for cheap thrills.Bwaaahahaha...
An Islamic hospital is being built in Rotterdam, the second largest city of Netherlands.Achievement of the Left.

Moderate muslims. Where are the moderate muslims?
Well, that's just too much for the muslims. Apparently it's outrageous that he even could propose such a thing. In fact, "he shouldn´t be allowed to comment"... Watch it till the very end:
Straw's veil comments spark anger:
It was "astonishing" that Mr Straw chose to "selectively discriminate on the basis of religion", said Massoud Shadjareh, chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission.Can you feel it?
Halima Hussain, from civil liberties group the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, asked BBC News 24: "Who is Jack Straw to comment on negative symbols within a religion that is not his own?"
Rajnaara Akhtar, who chairs the organisation Protect-Hijab, suggested the "appalling" comments showed "a deep lack of understanding".
JACK Straw faced a backlash yesterday after remaining unrepentant in his call for devout Muslim women to discard their veils.Plus: "Do you want the veils to be discarded completely?". "Yes", Straw answered.
The Leader of the Commons was in an unapologetic mood yesterday over his request for Muslim women to remove their veils when visiting his constituency surgeries, despite growing concerns in some quarters of isolation and tolerance in Britain.
A British terror suspect evaded capture from the country's police and intelligence services by disguising himself as a Muslim woman by donning a burqa, The Times reported in an early edition today.

Is Islam A Threat To The Maldives?
This is how cynical Islamic teachers work, using the "decadent" wealthy tourists living in the hotels, for their own propaganda. The "Woman-you-must-stay-home/use burka"-reasoning:
Prominent human rights activist Jennifer Latheef told the Independent that the existence of luxurious holiday resorts was helping radicals recruiting on the islands.Very convenient for the muslim men, don´t you think? One more thing: It´s troubling being a female imam. I guess it´s a kind of weird and non-masculine for a muslim to kneel in front of a woman... And of course, the "distraction":
"These teachers go to the women in the villages and say ‘your men are working at these hotels, surrounded by loose women and alcohol. If you want to save his soul and your marriage you must be virtuous - cover up, stay inside, and he will come back to you’, she said.
"These women then come under tremendous peer pressure to conform."
Prayer in Islam “features getting up, sitting down and kneeling...It is not befitting for a woman to make these movements in the presence of men when worshipping requires a peaceful mind and concentration on communicating with God,” said Qaradawi, an Egyptian-born scholar.Heh.
Michel Thoomis, the secretary general of the hardline Action Police trade union, has written to Mr Sarkozy warning of an "intifada" on the estates and demanding that officers be given armoured cars in the most dangerous areas.Open.your.eyes.
He said yesterday: "We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists. This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada, with stones and Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or three youths confronting police, you see whole tower blocks emptying into the streets to set their 'comrades' free when they are arrested."
He added: "We need armoured vehicles and water cannon. They are the only things that can disperse crowds of hundreds of people who are trying to kill police and burn their vehicles."
However, Gerard Demarcq, of the largest police unions, Alliance, dismissed talk of an "intifada" as representing the views of only a minority.
Mr Demarcq said that the increased attacks on officers were proof that the policy of "retaking territory" from criminal gangs was working.
Because of this.
And this:

From "Howstuffworks":
In the process of the water cycle, moisture can accumulate in the atmosphere. This accumulation is what we see as a cloud. Interestingly, clouds can contain millions upon millions of water droplets and ice suspended in the air. As the process of evaporation and condensation continues, these droplets encounter many collisions with other moisture that is in the process of condensing as it rises. Also, the rising moisture may collide with ice or sleet that is in the process of falling to the earth or located in the lower portion of the cloud. The importance of these collisions is that electrons are knocked off of the rising moisture, thus creating a charge separation.Or did you know that already?
The newly knocked-off electrons gather at the lower portion of the cloud, giving it a negative charge. The rising moisture that has just lost an electron carries a positive charge to the top of the cloud. Beyond the collisions, freezing plays an important role. As the rising moisture encounters colder temperatures in the upper cloud regions and begins to freeze, the frozen portion becomes negatively charged and the unfrozen droplets become positively charged. At this point, rising air currents have the ability to remove the positively charged droplets from the ice and carry them to the top of the cloud. The remaining frozen portion would likely fall to the lower portion of the cloud or continue on to the ground. Combining the collisions with the freezing, we can begin to understand how a cloud may acquire the extreme charge separation that is required for a lightning stroke.
The lack of freedom is a problem not only in Muslim countries. Paolucci said “Unfortunately, there is a problem with freedom even in a country like Italy because Islam sees itself as a religion that no one can leave.”
When converts make their conversion known publicly, they are subjected to threats and discrimination. Sometimes, it is even their friends and family who shun them. “In Muslim countries,” says Paolucci, “they lose their civil rights and face the danger of the death penalty.
They included the al-Rashid Trust, which is banned by the UN Security Council and accused of being a conduit for al-Qaeda financing. The group is also on Pakistan's own terrorism watch list.
But the UN on the ground delivered aid to relief camps controlled by al-Rashid - tents, trucks, medicine, blankets and schools.
UN agencies also worked with Jamaat ud-Dawa, another charity which the US state department claims has close associations with the outlawed militant group, Lashkar-e-Toiba.
Jamaat denies it has any association with Lashkar, which has been linked to a series of attacks on civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir, as well as attacks on civilians and US troops in eastern Afghanistan.
(...)
Jamaat ud-Dawa's publications include praise for violent jihad (holy war), as well as venomous attacks on Hindus, Jews and Western aid agencies.
Rushdie urges Muslim engagement with West:
"The West must go on as it is," the Indian-born writer said following a question-and-answer session he gave at Gazeta Wyborcza, a Polish newspaper.Indeed.
Asked how the West should react to Muslim anger over the Pope's recent comments and the publication last year in Denmark of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad that led to worldwide protests, Rushdie said: "The problem is on the other side. The Muslim world has to learn to engage the West without always crying foul ... I don't see it as how the West should react to Muslim outrage."

Norwegian Broadcaster Will Show Muhammed Cartoons In a Documentary.
The three sisters, aged 13, 24 and 27, lived in the flat in Oslo's Kalbakken district with their three brothers, their wives and children. The 30-year-old brother was the oldest, and police said he functioned as head of the household when the retired patriarch of the family was on one of his trips to Pakistan, as he was this week.No motive known yet for the killing, but "honor killing" is the first that comes to my mind...
Police said they received a call Sunday night from one of the younger brothers in the home, and he reported "the shooting of a woman." When police arrived they found all three sisters dead.
The eldest brother had fled but was captured within a half-hour and and reportedly told police "it's probably me you're looking for," before he passed out.
TV2 will show the Muhammed cartoons tomorrow, Monday, in the documentary "Threatened to silence" (Norwegian language), made by journalist Per Christian Magnus.
Supposedly they'll defend the freedom of speech and use the images to try to understand and explain the outrageous and piteous muslim reactions to the dreaded cartoons.
TV2's boss, Kåre Valebrokk, did not want to publish the Muhammed cartoons last year.
Btw, there are rumors they've already shown the documentary to imams in Norway. Valebrokk denies this...
Will we see more islamic violence and intolerance after Monday night?
Update: One year anniversary of the publication of the Muhammed cartoons.
"The cartoon crisis was the first step to break out of the box in which we have been sitting since the 7th century," Sultan said, referring to the time of Islam's founding. "We as Muslims must learn to listen to others' opinion."Hattip: Michelle Malkin
Almost everyone agrees that the ensuing row was a wake-up call for Denmark. Ironically, the controversy may have been what the country needed to begin engaging with its Muslim citizens.Hattip: USS Neverdock.
For most Danes, the row is in the past. However, 10 of the 12 cartoonists have still not appeared in public - for them the crisis is not over yet.Indeed.
Want a ceramic Bobblehead Muhammed?
Via New York Daily News:
A ceramic bobblehead doll of the Prophet Muhammed - created to resemble the infamous caricature published by a Danish newspaper - is being hawked online for $22.99 a pop by an ex-Marine.
The unapologetic creator, Timothy Ames, 28, said the bobblehead is similar to "dashboard Jesus" figurines that can be stuck with adhesive to flat surfaces. "I thought, 'If they flipped out over some cartoons what will they do with a dashboard Muhammed?'" Ames said from his home in Hawaii.
