I am the last person to defend Anjem – but this story seems made up!

War march fanatic Anjem Choudary runs secret sharia ‘weddings’ By Abdul Taher Admission: Anjem Choudary says he has married more than 1,800 couples throughout Britain in less than ten years The Muslim extremist planning a march through Wootton Bassett runs a secret sharia court where he marries hundreds of couples – then tells them not to register their weddings.

The Easy Path to Islamic Extremism

In No Enemy to Conquer – a fascinating examination of forgiveness in an unforgiving world – the author, Michael Henderson, refers to the malicious rumors of 2007 which alleged that presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama had once attended a radical Muslim school in Indonesia. Henderson’s deep disquiet over this incident is because the War on Terror has come to mean that any allegiance to the Muslim faith can now be used as a political weapon with which to dishonor and discredit your opponent. His disappointment moves from the political to the personal as he recalls 25 years earlier telling a … Continue reading The Easy Path to Islamic Extremism

Stephen Colbert says all young Muslims should be given a colonoscopy.

Stephen Colbert says all young Muslims should be given a colonoscopy. David Edwards and John Byrne Raw Story Wednesday, January 6, 2010 In a desultory rant Tuesday night, Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert jabbed conservatives who are promoting racial profiling and more radical techniques after the failed Christmas bomb plot against a commercial jetliner. “Every time a young Muslim man arrives at the airport, the TSA should respectfully take him aside and give him an involuntary colonoscopy,” Colbert quipped. “This cannot fail. Everyone knows that terrorists are all young, poor, disenfranchised Arab Muslims. Well, except the Christmas bomber, who is a … Continue reading Stephen Colbert says all young Muslims should be given a colonoscopy.

Banning the burqa unveils some nasty traits in us

India Knight <!– –> France is considering passing a law that would mean women who wear the burqa or niqab in public would face a £700 fine. French MPs will vote on the proposal later this month; the fine would apply to anyone “whose face is fully covered in public”. Jean-François Copé, parliamentary leader of Nicolas Sarkozy’s UMP group, told Le Figaro that the proposed law was based on sexual equality and public safety considerations, not on religious ones. “We spoke to religious and secular figures, who all confirmed [the burqa] was not a religious prescription. Wearing the full body … Continue reading Banning the burqa unveils some nasty traits in us

Falling in love and love are two quiet different feeling.

// // Falling in love and love are two quiet different feeling. Falling in love can be either a flash of emotions or a first step towards love. Falling in love is a strong instinctive attraction to the person of the other sex. In case it’s mutual and both lovers will work at their relationships one day that feeling can grow into love. Falling in love is crazy, it very physical, it’s when knees are getting weak and temperature rises, love is calm, comfortable and mental. You have to do nothing to fall in love and often there’s either nothing … Continue reading Falling in love and love are two quiet different feeling.

Good girl, Bad girl, girl girl!

// // Before taking a decision whether to be friends with the girl you have stopped getting on, or not, analyse what type she belongs to. A commander The girl of this type orders you about, dictates what to do and what not to do. In this case don’t be afraid to speak your mind.

Men + Women: differences

// Have you ever heard a seemingly normal woman saying something like, “I don’t know what I do to turn men off. I seem to push them away. Maybe I’m too demanding, or not demanding enough. Men are so confusing.” And it could be that very same day that you hear a seemingly normal man, unrelated to the first woman, complaining: ‘I don’t get women. I must be doing something wrong. Women are so hard to understand.” When men and women get together, there are, in effect, two worlds—his and hers. They have different values, priorities, and habits. They play … Continue reading Men + Women: differences

What women don’t get about men

By Michael Bywater The answer, for men, would seem to be castration. Better than drink: it takes away both performance and desire. Plato, in The Republic, has Sophocles say that the end of sexual yearning is like escaping from a vicious tyrant, usually quoted as “being unchained from a lunatic”. Visions of the madman vary; I always picture him naked, wild-haired and bearded, a bit like Terry Jones in Monty Python, capering and scampering into the distance across a rain-swept Clapham Common. The writer Guy Kennaway, in his memoir Sunbathing Naked, writes: “The chain broke, and I was the madman.” … Continue reading What women don’t get about men

What men don’t get about women

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. No woman, no cry. A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. The only thing that the genders agree on, it seems, is that the two of them have little in common. Here, we aim to promote understanding between the two halves of the human species, with two explanatory essays by a representative of each. Ladies first… By Esther Walker David Sandison I am going to tell you a secret. It is one all women – but only a handful of men – know. It is this: most men … Continue reading What men don’t get about women
