A group of young Arab men wearing the robes of novice Orthodox Christian priests attempted to lynch a Jewish man walking through Jerusalem's Old City on Sunday. The victim told Israel National News that as he passed the men, one of them asked if he spoke Hebrew. When the man answered yes, the robed man punched him in the face causing him to bleed profusely.PNC Suggests Adding Seats For Hamas, Factions
Medics later said that judging by the wounds, the assailant must have hit the victim with a sharp object. As the bleeding Jewish man tried to escape, the robed men began to kick him. Just as he thought the lynch may end with him losing his life, a passing group of Jews chased off the robed attacker and took the bleeding victim to a nearby police station. Police officials said the attack was caught on security cameras positioned throughout the Old City, and that they are working to identify the attackers.

In case it was not immediately obvious, Sudan is ruled partially under the terms of sharia or Islamic religious law. There are several schools of thought that constitute the philosophy and application of sharia. Sudanese leaders apply a more fundamentalist form.

Ucccchh with this guy's freaking persuasions already.
In an interview with the Arabic network Al-Jazeera released Tuesday, Gates says if Iran proceeds with its nuclear program, it could potentially spark a nuclear arms race in the entire region. But he says one way to get the Iranians to change their approach on the nuclear issue is to persuade them that developing atomic weapons will jeopardize their security, not enhance it.All four Jewish movements join on Iran statement
Now there's a miracle right there, getting all these Jews to agree. LOL!
Nine rabbinic and congregational organizations, representing all four streams of Judaism, have teamed up for a joint statement calling upon American Jews "to make Iran a matter of the highest urgency."

Three forces aimed to shuffling AzerbaijanUAE President, VP greet President of Tajikistan on National Day“We have already marked there were threatening forces in Azerbaijan. So who are they? The primary and main source of threat is Armenia, who keeps under its control our territories for years and it tries to hold terrorist attacks in Baku as opportunity offers. The act of terrorism happened in 1994 in Baku tube confirms that Armenia is not going to give up its black intentions."
The second source Wahhabis are, who, according to the author, are the actual and real threat. The explosions in “Abu Behr” mosque confirmed clearly it was impossible to look at this religious movement “through fingers” and they are actually potential terrorists.
Our society is well aware of the bloody events committed by Wahhabis in Chechnya and Palestine as well as of financing and patronage of these forces from the radical religious structures of a number of Arab countries. Now these well-known scenarios are planned in Azerbaijan. Therefore official Baku should take some measures aimed at preventing the implementation of the threats, considering that U.S. itself, one of the superpowers, became the victim terrorist attacks.
The third force, according to analyst, is radical Shiite militias, supported and financed by Iran. The head of these forces is Hezbollah, which has already proved it has got solid base of support in Azerbaijan. “Saeed’s group” itself clearly demonstrated that Iran still keeps Azerbaijan to be shot and doe not shy even of acts of terror,” it is posted on website “Polygon”.

Caspian Sea states shut Tehran out of summit
Iran is peeved at its northern neighbors over a decision to exclude the Islamic Republic from a meeting of Caspian Sea states on Thursday. Iran's top diplomat, Manouchehr Mottaki, said today he was outraged that Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan plan to meet in the Kazakh city of Aktau without Iran, according to the website of Iran's state-owned English-language Press TV satellite news channel.Iran alarmed of exclusion in Caspian sea summit Tallinn Estonia in search of strategic partner in Kazakhstan
"In our view the meeting runs contrary to Iran's national interests," Mottaki said. Iran has stewed for years as Russia and its former Soviet satellite states gobble up more and more of the Caspian Sea's resources. The four countries attending the Aktau meeting, described as an "informal" summit to discuss "subregional cooperation," say they don't plan to make any decisions on the status of the sea or the division of the seabed, an official representative of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry told Azerbaijan's Trend news agency.

Police deny any involvement in his disappearance, or knowledge of his current whereabouts, the opposition news site Uznews.net reported.The bicycle diaries: fear and loathing in Tashkent
Jalilov’s colleagues speculate his disappearance may be related to a spate of arrests following a shootout in Tashkent on August 29. "If we proceed from the [usual] practices of law enforcement agencies in Uzbekistan, under the guise of combating terrorism they might well accuse Gaibullo Jalilov of committing crimes against Uzbekistan," Talib Yakubov, the former president of HRSU, said on September 7.Alternatively, Jalilov’s fate may be linked to the recent release of human rights defenders under the annual Independence Day amnesty. "The Uzbek authorities are always trying to keep a certain number of dissidents in prison, as soon as they release one, they immediately compensate for the ’loss’ by taking a new victim," the report quoted Yakubov as saying.

What US Homeland Security collects about you
Any time a person crosses the US border, the Department of Homeland Security assigns travelers with a "risk assessment" score to divine their likelihood of any involvement with a terrorist cell or criminal activity. That score is calculated by feeding a large volume of personal information into an automated system (rather imposingly) called the "Automated Targeting System," or ATS. But what sensitive dirt the DHS stores about the average person isn't generally known.US Girl Scouts prepare for war, pestilence
The United States wants to enlist its 3.4 million Girl Scouts in the effort to combat hurricanes, pandemics, terror attacks and other disasters.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a campaign Tuesday to entice the blue, brown and green-clad multitudes to be even more prepared, with the promise of a new patch if they pitch in. The young scouts will be able to emblazon their sashes or vests with the patch if they undergo the training which readies them for an emergency."Napolitano touts Girl Scout preparedness patch
This new preparedness patch will increase citizen preparedness and enhance our country's readiness for disasters," said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in a statement."As a former Girl Scout, I know the 'Be Prepared' motto well, and I look forward to working with the Girl Scouts to spread the preparedness message to all of our nation's citizens."The move is part of a month-long government effort to make Americans better able to cope with natural and man-made disasters.

But having been elected, President Obama sensed that, just maybe, the United States was part of the problem rather than the solution. So he shunned Israel and warmed up to Syria and the Palestinians. He cut off relations with Honduras. He ignored our ally Colombia while reaching out to Castro, Chavez, and Ortega.

Nuclear-free world ultimate aim of new cross-party pressure group
Hollywood goes nuts over Chavez in VeniceA cross-party group of ex-ministers and former generals will be launched next month to push for global nuclear disarmament.
The group, chaired by a former defence secretary, Des Browne, will seek to rally European support for a US-led initiative to work towards the abolition of nuclear weapons through radical, co-ordinated cuts in the arsenals of existing nuclear states, in an effort to persuade emerging powers to forgo such weapons.
The nuclear non-proliferation treaty is up for review next May, at a time when it is in danger of falling apart under pressure from aspiring nuclear states such as Iran, North Korea and their regional neighbours. Hopes of strengthening the treaty have been bolstered by the election of Barack Obama and initial progress in bilateral disarmament talks between the US and Russia.
"There is a window of opportunity, but it is a limited window of opportunity," Browne said. "It's a big opportunity for nuclear weapons states … to make a contribution to improving the confidence the rest of the world has in the non-proliferation treaty."
Yeah well what did you expect, they were nuts before he got there.

AIR Worldwide Updates its Mediterranean Region Earthquake Model
Outlook not so good on magic glow ball.
"The Mediterranean region is capable of producing very large earthquakes," said Dr. Milan Simic, Managing Director, AIR Worldwide Ltd. "A recent example is the magnitude 7.5 earthquake that struck Izmit, Turkey in 1999, which ruptured more than 150 kilometers (93 mi) of the North Anatolian Fault from Düzce all the way to the Sea of Marmara. The temblor cut a swath of destruction across seven provinces, from Istanbul to Bolu. AIR estimates that a recurrence of the Izmit earthquake would produce insured losses on the order of €7.5 billion (10.7 billion USD), while total damage would exceed €27 billion (38 billion USD)."5.8 Mw - MINAHASA, SULAWESI, INDONESIA
