More Proof for the Monstrosity of Mugabe

Read and rejoice!
JOHANNESBURG — Zimbabwean authorities confiscated a truck loaded with 20 tons of American food aid for poor schoolchildren and ordered that the wheat and pinto beans aboard be handed out to supporters of President Robert Mugabe at a political rally instead, the American ambassador said Wednesday.
“This government will stop at nothing, even starving […]

McCain Does Right Thing, Ditches Parsley

The other day I came across a disturbing article on the Huffington Post about John Hagee’s loony statements. I swear these American evangelical “leaders” really sound just like some of the crazy nuts we have here. I suggest we throw them both together for a nice little episode of… The Holy Room.
So, God sent Hitler […]

Shame On You Cisco!

And Google. And Yahoo!
So Google and Yahoo are involved in concealing search results in China that might reveal “undesirable” things the Chinese regime doesn’t want its people to see. And now I hear that Cisco is helping the same lovely regime lay more bricks in its Great Firewall?
WTF?
Nice Cisco, keep selling your technology and continue […]

A Superb Muslim Conference

Yeah, and it’s entitled “Islamic Unity Conference.” I think it was held in Iran, and it was clearly awesome. I’m actually so jealous, I wish I could have attended it.
Seriously, with hard-working scholars/”scholars” like these I must say I’m pretty damn optimistic that Muslim unity is just around the corner.
Like totally!
Looks like they’re having […]

The Rise of Israeli Ultra-Orthodox Jews

These two videos (part 1 and part 2) are as alarming as much as they are intriguing.
I wouldn’t want to be their neighbor because they remind me of my old Afghani one years ago who used to shout at me and my friends for strumming our oh, so very EVIL Devilish guitars at the nearby […]

Super Astonishing Statements by Former Head of CIA’s Bin Laden Unit

Last night, I discovered this jaw-dropping video of Micheal Scheuer, former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden Unit.
As a Muslim, I found it upsetting (and I’m sure Israelis will too for their own reasons). Frankly, I’m actually very dumbfounded that someone who used to be in the CIA has these kind of ludicrous opinions.
Apparently, Michael […]

The Origins of “Rule of Thumb”

I was surfing random stuff online a while ago using StumbleUpon and arrived at this page containing the following:
rule of thumb -No, this phrase is definitely NOT “P.C”! Who knew? “Rule of thumb” derived from the days when woman were sometimes beaten with a switch. To be “kind” the switch could not be thicker than […]

In Morocco, Facebook Can Send You to Jail

Someone please tell me this isn’t real.

Yes, We Men Can’t Control Ourselves

Remember Hanan al-Turk’s cute hangout spot? Well now she has more to say:
She said she doesn’t allow unveiled women into her salon because she would be aiding them to sin: “Unveiled women coming out of my beauty center will arouse men and I can’t be part of that.”
It’s one thing when chauvinist bearded men blame […]

The Communist Party of USA

This one was certainly an amusing “wtf moment”. I’ve been having many of those recently.
Who knew there’s actually one in America alive and well, and promoting socialism? Not me. They should at least change the name to Social Democrats or something. Or better still, wake up. It’s 2008.
If anything, the practice of capitalism in America […]

WTF News of the Moment: Republicans for Obama?!

Yes, believe it!
This race is getting so much more interesting with every passing minute. A new website called Republicans for Obama has popped up. And no, it’s not fake. It’s real and was even featured on Time!
On a related note Susan Eisenhower, Dwight D. Eisenhower’s grand daughter has a super interesting article in the Washington […]

Bashir Appoints Janjaweed Leader As Special Advisor

The news is more than a week old. AK has a simple, straight to the point analysis. Nice!

Bin Laden’s Son Wants To Be a Peace Activist

What the…
Omar — one of bin Laden’s 19 children — raised a tabloid storm last year when he married a 52-year-old British woman, Jane Felix-Browne, who took the name Zaina Alsabah.
… Omar lived with the al-Qaida leader in Sudan, then moved with him to Afghanistan in 1996.
There, Omar says he trained at an al-Qaida camp […]

An Open Letter To Arun Ghandi

Many of you by now must have read Arun Ghandi’s distasteful article in the Washington Post. I found it very shortsighted. Mideast Youth wrote a hilarious and genius response to it. Enjoy…

US Diplomat Shot Dead In Khartoum

Not a good way to begin the new year.

 
KHARTOUM, Sudan - An American diplomat and his driver were shot to death Tuesday in the Sudanese capital, the U.S. Embassy said, a day after a joint African Union-United Nations force took over peacekeeping in Sudan’s Darfur region.
It was not known if the attack had a political […]
