Fourteen centuries ago, God sent down the Qur’an as a guide to all humanity. At the time the Arab society was in a state of complete degeneration, chaos and ignorance. They were a barbarous people who worshipped idols of their own making, believed warfare and bloodshed to be virtuous and were even capable of killing their own children. They had little interest in intellectual matters, let alone a scientific outlook to the natural world. However, through Islam they learned humThe difference between good and bad By Kirk Alexander                                 I always thought of myself as a good person. Until this happened, that is. This time, I crossed the line-even by my standards. I have always been subject to temptation, but somehow the little pocket of innocence inside me would pull me through. This time, however, the cards were stacked against me. All I could do was take it in and enjoy it in all its diabolical glory. Dee

I find myself a full time "stay at home mom", and I'm not sure what that definition means to me. Do I buy an apron and start making cookies on a daily basis? Do I try to become "super mom" and work from home, raise my daughter, maintain a home and be a good wife? Do I say hang it all and start eating bonbons while watching soaps? I don't know, but hopefully this blog will help me figure this whole new thing out! The only thing I'm sure about is that I'm Mommy and she's Baby! =)

28 August, 2009 — CounterpunchRecently Sweden’s largest daily newspaper published an article containing shocking material: testimony and circumstantial evidence indicating that Israelis may have been harvesting internal organs from Palestinian prisoners without consent for many years.Worse yet, some of the information reported in the article suggests that in some instances Palestinians may have been captured with this macabre purpose in mind.In the article, “Our sons plundered for their organs,”…which is one of the lousiest arguments I’ve ever heard in the never-ending debate over whether Taiwan is an independent state or merely a renegade province that rightfully belongs to the PRC. It is my opinion that Taiwan is a de facto independent, sovereign state. Before I explain why I believe that, first allow me to be clear about what my opinion on the issue of “reunification” between Taiwan and China: Tuan Tuan & Yuan Yuan, the sinister reunification pandas. Based upon thOne topic that I’ve long had a fascination with is the history of skeptical and scientific thought.  Human beings are naturally endowed with the ability to reason, but that reason is a far cry from a belief in a world governed by immutable natural laws.  This is why I consider scientific education to be very important on a societal level; ignorance and fear combined with credulity can lead to devastating consequences: the bloody period of witch hunting in Europe resulted in somewhere between 4

With two major sets of documents related to torture having been disclosed in 2009 , I thought it would be useful to try and bring together how some of the more recently disclosed memos fit into the story of the CIA’s Program for detaining and interrogating high value detainees. In doing so, I am of course building on the work of others. (See for example, this New York Times story from May,  Foreign Policy’s Torture Timeline , which has a broader scope than what I in

There's a lot of talk about "service" these days from the government, but where public service traditionally meant the government serving the people, today it seems to mean the public serving the government. Serve.gov, rolled out by the Obama administration as part of the "United We Serve" initiative, has as its mission directing everyone into public service, either as an ad hoc community organizer or as a volunteer "on a path to sustained service". The goal being to get the public to do all theSt. Paul is a window into our future. It is a future where, as one protester told me by phone, “people have been pepper-gassed, thrown on the ground by police who had drawn their weapons, had their documents seized and their tattoos photographed before being taken away to jail.” It is a future where illegal house raids are carried out. It is a future where vans containing heavily armed paramilitary units circle and film protesters. It is a future where, as the protester said, “people have been pRELIANCE COMMUNICATIONS LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009DIRECTOR'S REPORTDear Shareowners,Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the fifth Annual Report and the audited accounts for the financial year ended 31st March, 2009.Financial ResultsThe standalone performance of the Company for the financial year ended 31st March, 2009 is summarised below:Particulars Financial Year ended * Financial Year ended 31st March, 2009 31st March, 2008

We have a hard time understanding how: 1. How can Christian’s ignore all the scientific evidence for evolution, and 2. How can those who do accept evolution continue to be Christians, when they are so contradictory of one another.

In a government-run book store in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, books on Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin are best sellers. Cedric Arnold for The International Herald Tribune.

loveleenchawla asked:   INTRODUCTION The explosive growth of international financial transactions and capital flows is one of the most far-reaching economic developments of the late 20th century. Net private capital flows to developing countries tripled – to more than US$150 billion a year during 1995 to 1997 from roughly US$50 billion a year during 1987 to 1989. At the same time, the ratio of private capital flows to domestic investment in developing countries increased to 20% in 1996 REUTERS REPORTS ON THE GOLDSTONE REPORT JUST RELEASED TODAY “The mission concluded that actions amounting to war crimes, and possibly in some respects crimes against humanity, were committed by the Israel Defence Force,” U.N. investigator Richard Goldstone told reporters.
