Richard Dawkins's Jewish ProblemThe Anti-Defamation League, the country's leading group dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism, is rightly sensitive to the offense of trivializing the Holocaust. Why, then, has the ADL said nothing in protest against the Darwinian biologist and bestselling atheist author Richard Dawkins and his comparison of Darwin doubters to Holocaust deniers?Islamic Jihad: New York meetings encouraged Gaza raid
SNIP"People who reject the theory of evolution should be placed on a level with Holocaust deniers, argues an author in his controversial new book," headlined the London Times when the book came out there last month. Yet not a peep from the ADL.In his last book, The God Delusion, Dawkins used incredibly offensive language in characterizing the God of the Hebrew Bible, whom he called among other things, "a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."Now in a Newsweek interview he repeats the insult, saying: "The God of the Old Testament is a monster. It's very, very hard for anybody to deny that. He's like a hyped-up Ayatollah Khomeini." Asked by Newsweek's Lisa Miller where this leaves the "90 percent of Americans [who] say they believe in God" and of whom "some portion...are intelligent people," Dawkins replies, "But they wouldn't disagree with what I said about the God of the Old Testament. They'd probably say something like, 'Oh, that's quite different. We believe in the God of the New Testament.'"
The Israeli killing of three Islamic Jihad militants in Gaza Friday night was encouraged by U.S.-sponsored meetings between Israeli and Palestinian leaders, the radical movement said on Saturday. "The Israeli occupation utilized the resumption of political meetings with the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) to commit new crimes against the Palestinian people," the movement said in a statement faxed to the press.

Deposed Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haneya Monday called on the Organization of the Islamic Conference(OIC) to convene its al-Quds (Jerusalem) committee urgently.
Haneya's call were made a day after nearly a dozen of Palestinians were wounded in clashes with Jewish worshippers who broke into the yard of al-Aqsa mosque, a sensitive Muslim holy site in the Old City of Jerusalem.
In a statement sent to the press, Haneya urged Moroccan King Mohammed VI, the secretary-general of al-Quds committee, to call for an urgent meeting "and to made decisions amounting to the a responsible level."
"The harsh attack on al-Aqsa mosque and al-Quds needs clear Arab and Islamic decisions with mechanisms for implementation to protect the shrine and the holy city," Haneya said.

Water tensionsMiddle East conflicts are usually tied in the media to religion or oil, but water has become a major factor in recent disputes. In prominent watersheds such as the Jordan River Basin and the Tigris-Euphrates Basin, water supplies can be critical especially when they are being shared among multiple countries. These rivers play a very important role in the agriculture and economic development of these states.Eden is drying out
The area of the Jordan River Basin, including parts of Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank, is primarily an arid region.
The river originates in Lebanon and has a total average flow of 1,200 million cubic meters per year. This river system consists of the Jordan and of the Yarmouk River, which flows from Syria. With the arid climate and low precipitation in this region, water has become the most valuable resource.
Most countries in the Jordan River Basin are among some of the poorest countries in the region. Groundwater aquifers are the principle source for water supplies to the states that rely on the Jordan River. Water use varies throughout the region. Israel uses the greatest amount of water available in the basin, and next in line is Jordan. The Israeli-occupied West Bank uses the smallest amount. The daily amount of water per person in the Jordan River Basin is the lowest in the world.
And Ishmael can't get a date.
The Garden of Eden is in danger of turning into a dustbowl. The legendary Eden was in Mesopotamia, the land between two rivers - the Tigris and the Euphrates. For hundreds of miles between their lower reaches there is fabulously fertile farmland.TELEGRAPH, UK: No wonder teenagers love the Taliban
But it's hardly rained in Iraq for more than two years, the river levels have dropped by half in some places, and farmland is drying out. The drought is having a devastating effect on Iraq's most renowned export after oil - its dates.
Iraq used to produce three-quarters of the world's entire date crop every year. Now, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran export more dates than Iraq.
At a date farm in Baghdad - near the city centre - it all seems lush and lyrical. There's a strong smell of fresh mint in the air. Herbs, and vegetables like Jew's Mallow, are grown between the trees; their roots fix nitrogen in the soil, which helps to nourish the palms with natural fertiliser. But the dates are not well.

Nuclear weapons resolution must be enforced equally: OIC
The OIC, which was established in 1969 after the burning of the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, speaks on behalf of the world's 1.5 billion MuslimsUN - Press Conference by Secretary-General of OIC
Speaking to correspondents at a Headquarters press conference this morning, Ekmelledin Ihsanoglu, OIC Secretary-General, welcomed President Obama’s commitment to the resolution of the Middle East and Israeli-Palestinian crisis, and appreciated the keen interest of the United States Administration in fostering relations with the Muslim world and OIC. He was looking forward to the appointment of a new United States special envoy to OIC, hoping that a high-stature Muslim American personality would be selected, who had a close association with President Obama. During the short term of Ambassador Sada Cumber, who had been appointed special envoy during the last year of United States President George W. Bush’s term, significant progress had been achieved, particularly related to the fight against pandemic diseases and socio-economic development.Tunisia's address to 64th session of UN General Assembly
We wish to reaffirm, from this rostrum, Tunisia’s constant and principled support for the just Palestinian Cause and for the brotherly Palestinian people in their struggle to recover their legitimate rights and establish their independent State on their land.
In this context, we took note, with satisfaction, of the positive stances expressed by the American Administration concerning the Middle-East issue, the elements of a just, comprehensive settlement of the conflict and the two-state solution, as well as the approaches, efforts and successive contacts undertaken to get peace talks started again.
Today we reiterate our call to the international community, especially the sponsors of the peace process, to intensify their efforts so as to bring Israel to end, without prior conditions, its settlement policy, and re-launch talks between the Palestinian and Israeli parties, based on international resolutions, the peace process references, and the Arab Peace Initiative.
Bringing peace, security and stability to the Middle East depends on lifting the blockade, dismantling roadblocks, and abandoning the humiliating measures and other provocative steps taken against the Palestinian people. It also depends on the Palestinian people’s recovery of its legitimate national rights, the establishment of the Palestinian independent state, and Israel’s withdrawal from the occupied Syrian Golan and the Lebanese lands still under occupation.

Reporters Without Borders is very worried for the safety of freelance journalist and human rights activist Alexandr Podrabinek, who has gone into hiding after getting death threats over a controversial article about the current government’s defence of the Soviet Union despite its crimes against the Russian people.Jailed Russian tycoon says state hiding evidence
The Moscow correspondent of the French public radio station Radio France Internationale, Podrabinek also writes for Novaya Gazeta (the newspaper that journalist Ana Politkovskaya worked for at the time of her murder) and edits the human rights news agency Prima (prima-news.ru).
“This hate campaign against Podrabinek, which has even included calls for his death, must stop at once,” Reporters Without Borders said. “The authorities must appeal for calm and curb this outburst of fury. A man’s life and respect for free expression in Russia are both at stake. This episode highlights how difficult it is in Russia today to challenge the official version of what happened during the Soviet era.” A former political prisoner, Podrabinek wrote his controversial article for the Ej.ru news website on 21 September. It referred to the Soviet regime’s crimes against the Russian people and criticised the way apparatchiks in the present-day government are defending the Soviet Union’s image in the people’s collective memory.
The article has triggered an angry reaction from Russian “patriotic” movements, and a campaign against Podrabinek has been orchestrated in newspapers and online. The websites of youth movements that support Prime Minister Vladimir Putin such as Nashi (Ours!) and United Russia Young Guard (which is linked to Putin’s party) have been pumping out hate slogans against the article and Podrabinek, some of them of a racist and anti-semitic nature. They have also posted his phone number and urged people to call him.

Jailed former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky is accusing Russian prosecutors of withholding evidence exonerating him of new charges that could keep him in prison for decades.Khodorkovsky — once Russia's richest man — is charged with embezzling more than $25 billion worth of oil from subsidiaries of his former oil major oil company, Yukos, and laundering most of the proceeds.Khodorkovsky said Monday that prosecutors are hiding documents that prove the allegedly stolen oil was legally transferred. He is already serving an eight-year sentence following a 2005 fraud and tax evasion conviction.The cases are seen as part of a Kremlin push to punish him for challenging then-President Vladimir Putin, and to strengthen the state's grip on energy resources.Pro-Kremlin youth to hold alternative opposition march
Pro-Kremlin youth movement Nashi (Ours) announced on Monday they would hold their own festive march on November 4 in Moscow in contrast to the "March of Dissent" held by opposition parties. Russia's November 4 National Unity Day public holiday traditionally sees nationalist and far-right rallies in Moscow. Maria Kislitsyna, a representative of the Nashi movement, said that their march, which will be led by famous Russian television stars, will be called the "Russian march." Opposition marches were held in Moscow and St. Petersburg last December. In downtown Moscow more than 90 people were arrested for trying to hold an unauthorized opposition rally, while in St. Petersburg some 60 people were detained. In 2006, a planned National Unity Day march by nationalist groups was banned by Moscow authorities. However, far-right groups defied the ruling and marched. Some 200 people were subsequently arrested.Putin meets with Governor of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area

Tajikistan bans beards for teachers under 50

Tajikistan ministry permits teachers to wear beards and galoches
GLORY TO GALOSHES IN GULAG! Oh galoChes. Never mind.
The rules, coming into force on October 1, regulate in detail all types of clothing, footwear and headwear as well as other particulars of teachers’ outer appearance, reported on Sunday local news agencies, referring to spokesman of the country’s Education Ministry Abdulkhamid Nozimov. For instance men older than 50 are permitted to wear beards, but no longer that three centimetres. Teachers may come to work in galoshes (widely-spread type of national footwear in the republic, especially in the countryside).TAJIKISTAN: "It seems that reading the Bible together is now a crime"
The list fully precludes mini-skirts, jeans, transparent blouses, tight-fitting dresses as well as motley vests. At the same time, Tajik Education Minister Abdudzhabbor Rakhmonov said in a September interview with Itar-Tass that “the introduction of the new dress-code for school teachers and university lecturers does not mean at all uniformity of clothing, the more so standard uniforms”. “We approved 20 types of clothing for women and men, including the national style, presupposing traditional Tajik dress of national silk for women and scull-caps for men,” he emphasised. The classic version of style – bright upper part and dark garment below the waistline are also acclaimed.
Hamzaali Pulodov, the religious affairs official in the northern town of Khujand, has defended the criminal cases against up to 17 Jehovah's Witnesses on charges of inciting inter-religious hatred, which carry a sentence of between five and nine years' imprisonment. "When people break the law they are prosecuted," he told Forum 18 News Service. He says books confiscated during a June raid on a flat where they were meeting had "propagandised against the Constitution and incited enmity between citizens", but admitted he has not read them. Prosecutors and the secret police refused to say how many Jehovah's Witnesses face criminal charges and when cases will go to court. Zafar Rakhimov, who is among those facing prosecution, told Forum 18 he believes two or three of their leaders will be brought to court. "Prosecutor Muzaffarov told me that the accusation is based on the fact that we interpret the Bible differently from Protestants. It seems that reading the Bible together is now a criminal offence." Jehovah's Witnesses are banned in Tajikistan.Robert O. Blake

I just had the pleasure of meeting with His Excellency, The President. We had a very constructive and friendly meeting where I expressed my government’s strong appreciation for the good relations between our two governments. We discussed our cooperation on Afghanistan and some of the challenges that Tajikistan is now facing as a result of the world economic crisis. I described the assistance program that the United States has here in Tajikistan. We also talked a little bit about democracy, about religion. We had a very full and friendly discussion. I very much appreciate the President’s time and I’ll have a chance later to speak with some of you in more detail about our discussions. Thank you.
I can take one or two questions.
QUESTION: If the government of the United States is planning to cut assistance to Tajikistan in view of the world economic crisis?
