An Islamic guide on how to beat your wife

An imam who wrote a book on how to beat your wife without leaving marks on her body has been ordered by a judge in Spain to study the country's constitution.

The judge told Mohamed Kamal Mustafa, imam of a mosque in the southern resort of Fuengirola, to spend six months studying three articles of the constitution and the universal declaration of human rights.

Mr. Mustafa was sentenced to 15 months in jail and fined $2,600, but was released after 22 days for re-education.
"The blows should be concentrated on the hands and feet using a rod that is thin and light so that it does not leave scars or bruises on the body."

Iraq Anglican heads feared dead

The entire lay leadership of the Anglican church in Iraq is missing and feared dead after being attacked on a dangerous road west of Baghdad.
The five Iraqis were last heard from on 13 September when they reported they had already being attacked travelling on road between Ramadi and Falluja.

Church officials had kept silent about the matter while US forces did checks, but there has been no sign of them.

The Anglicans were returning from a trip to Jordan when they disappeared.

"We have no news of them and fear the worst," Most Reverend Clive Handford, president bishop of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, told BBC News.

Bishop Handford said he thought it was unlikely that the five were specifically targeted.

"They had just entered some of the most dangerous country in Iraq, where there are an enormous number of robberies. People will steal cars, money, anything of value, and sometimes people get killed."

The missing include the lay pastor of St George's church in Baghdad, Maher Dakel, his wife Mona and son Yehiya.

Lay members of the Church fulfil roles in religious services and administration, without being ordained as priests.

Anglican officials are set to meet next week to consider the Church's role in Iraq, which serves an 800-strong congregation of Iraqi Christians in Baghdad.

Triple Iraq bombs 'kill dozens'

At least 62 people have been killed in three co-ordinated car bombs in a city near Baghdad, Iraqi police say.
The near-simultaneous blasts in Balad, 50 miles (80km) north of the capital, injured at least another 68.

The suicide bombs went off in a busy vegetable market, by a bank and by a police station in the mainly Shia city, Iraqi police said.

The attack came as the commander of US forces in Iraq said the next 75 days were crucial to Iraq's future.

Israel shuts down Hamas charities

Israel shut down charities with ties to Hamas across the West Bank yesterday as it widened an offensive against Palestinian militants.

In a new phase of its offensive, Israel closed down 15 offices across the West Bank, including those of charities linked to local mosques. Israel said the offices were used to distribute money to the families of suicide bombers and militants jailed by Israel.

In one raid, Israeli troops took computers and documents from the Tulkarem office of Zaka, a charity network that has been linked to Hamas and collects donations from mosques.

I have a fan

The "Great Prostitute",as you call our glorious cradle of knowledge,justice and freedom Babylon in your slanderous books of genocide,has had enough of you.

So does the heroic Palestinians fighting to reconquer their natural land and legitimate State wrung from them in the name of a criminal,racist and megalomaniac fairy-tale.

As far as the rest of the human race which you reduced to ignorance,slavery and despair through your abased American puppets and "their" cursed Empire of Fear...
Know that they happen to wonder if it was not a good idea...

Personally,I find the first one too "politically correct" for monstruous barbarians like you.

I can't write more.My soul is sad and my time is precious:I don't want to dirty the one nor to waste the other quarrelling with a demon.

See you never...

Demon, and proud of it.
And in keeping with her 'ye old English speak'.....I grant thou canst outscold me, fare thee well, likewise I hold my time too precious to be spent with such a brabbler.
