Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect. — Mark Twain
A sort of anti-Islam Facebook group faces closure due to large-scale threats of its users leaving the website if the group is not shut down. The description of the group IS offensive no doubt and even the forum topics are inflammatory, but why close the group if it is not instigating violence? Why curb the freedom of expression in this case? If Jesus can be shown ejaculating into a toilet seat and naked Sita can be shown straddling Lord Hanuman’s tail why a group called “Fuck Islam” cannot be tolerated? You can find millions of online groups venting hatred against all conceivable religions and it doesn’t make sense closing all of them.
Should Facebook give in to its users’ pressure? It shouldn’t. Tomorrow every community will demand the closure of another community and that would be the end of this great website. In short term it may seem prudent to remove the group and stop the other members from leaving but this act will permanently make a dent in the website’s popularity because people will think that no ideas are safe if they are communicated through Facebook. If the topics covered in the forum are so offensive, then I think they should be allowed to die their own death. In fact the protest has earned the group a mention in various magazines and newspapers, and blogs.

There is so much software we don’t know of. Just see in this video how a scientist gives a presentation on world health and economic trends (which also shows how the world is getting flatter). And we think Office Vista must be cool.
Her father and brothers were involved in the assault. It seems there is no limit to their savagery.
One of the gang who tortured, raped and strangled a young Kurdish woman in an “honour killing” boasted of how he had finally stamped on her neck to “get her soul out”, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.
Mohamad Hama, 30, laughed and joked as he described how they subjected Banaz Mahmod to a series of degrading acts of sexual violence during a 2½-hour ordeal in her home. Ms Mahmod, 20, disappeared last January. Her body was found three months later, in a suitcase buried in a pit in Birmingham. Her murder was planned and ordered by her father, Mahmod Mahmod, 50, and her uncle, Ari Mahmod, 52, after she fell in love with a man they deemed unsuitable.
…
Amid laughter, Hama said: “The road was crowded and a police car came by. Cars were passing by and we were dragging the bag. The handle broke off. Man, I swear I was standing there, I almost ran away.” The visitor asks: “Who was dragging?” Hama replies: “Mr Ari.”
“We were around him, each side of him - as God is my witness - her hair was sticking out, her elbow was sticking out. It was a stupid, silly thing. We put the bag on our shoulder to take it away.” [ Link ]
This happened in London, not somewhere in Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan. Here’s another disturbing link.

A brief encounter with a Jewish prostitute may have led to Hitler’s genocidal Holocaust, claim psychiatrists.
…
According to a report, mental and behavioural disturbances triggered by the advanced stages of the disease could have resulted in Hitler targeting Jews and the mentally retarded.
There is “ample circumstantial evidence” for the theory, according to a team headed by psychiatrist Dr Bassem Habeeb.
He said: “If Hitler’s life is looked at through the lens of a syphilis diagnosis, one clue leads to another until a pattern of infection and progressive infection emerges, a disease that may have defined him from youth as an outsider and that progressively ravaged his body and mind.” [ Did Hitler unleash the Holocaust because a Jewish prostitute gave him syphilis? ]
That’s interesting. I was very disturbed when I saw the The Pianist in which the German soldiers treat the Jews as if they are insects. Considering the kind of cruelties perpetrated at that time, and with so much vehemence and hatred, did an entire portion of the German population contract syphilis? I don’t think he personally raped and killed and scalded people or peeled off their skin; the others did. I think there was something deeper than a disease. It was something like a mass-demonization.

The UN has declared October 2, Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, as the Global non-Violence Day. The Indian media and the Indian politicians are calling it a fitting tribute to the great Mahatma but I wonder how much they really mean by their cloying utterances.

Sean L. Sykes, 33, was sentenced Tuesday. He was found guilty in May of having unprotected sex with a St. Joseph woman without telling her he was HIV-positive. Testimony at his trial — which was closed to the public to protect witnesses — indicated that he had exposed at least eight women to HIV. At least three have tested positive.
Sykes was convicted in 1997 of knowingly exposing someone to HIV. He was given the maximum sentence of 10 years, but was paroled in 2003. Scroggins said Sykes has had “numerous” other unknown sexual contacts since he first tested positive 16 years ago. [ Man With HIV Gets Life Term for Sex ]
Such people deserve no sympathy and consideration. I don’t think there is someone in the “aware” world who doesn’t know that AIDS can be spread by having sex. This was totally a diabolical act. A few months ago this happened in India too. A casual worker from Bihar went to Mumbai. He contacted AIDS there after visiting the red light area repeatedly. When doctors told him that he had AIDS, he returned to his village. There he had two wives and he infected both of them. There have been many such instances in India.

Iran’s parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill that could lead to death penalty for persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies.
With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, lawmakers present at the Wednesday session of the 290-seat parliament approved that “producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered corruptors of the world and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world.”
The term, “corruptor of the world” is taken from the Quran, the Muslims’ holy book, and ranks among the highest on the scale of an individual’s criminal offenses. Under Iran’s Islamic Penal Code, it carries a death penalty. [ link ]

In order to cover up the information from being leaked outside, the Chinese PAP accordingly quickly barred pilgrims, devotees and foreign tourists from visiting Samye Monastery. A huge network of Chinese PAP were deployed around the monastery area. Few local Tibetan devotees after questioning the monks of the monastery about the demolition did not dare to disclose any information. On being asked, the monastery officials told the devotees that the statue was demolished because a new religious structure cannot be built without official consent. One local Tibetan told TCHRD that, “Tibetans in Lhoka, particularly in Dranang County did not dare to challenge the officials openly but deep inside their heart, people fear and worry that the demolition of Guru Rinpoche’s statue and transportation of its rubble bear a resemblance to the dark era of the Cultural Revolution.” [ link ]

And they blame bitches for that :-). These sniffer dogs in Thailand, although ace drug-finders, used to piss on passengers’ luggage and hump women passengers’ legs. The two mutts were picked from the streets and recruited as sniffer dogs at northern Thailand’s Chiang Rai airport and they were quite a hit. But very soon they started “marking their territories” by peeing on the luggage. They also showed keen sexual interested for female travelers and they were sacked for their unbecoming behavior. These two dogs were recruited as sniffer dogs under a program initiated by King Bhumibol Adulyadej to turn strays into police dogs. Bad dogs.
After losing their prestige jobs they are now working on a farm chasing chickens and pigs instead of the dreaded drug peddlers. Humping women passengers was fine but peeing was really gross. May be they were not taken for their regular walks.
