Let it be known; a Christian "infidel" gave his life to protect Muslims from being killed by other people who call themselves Muslim. To him they were just people who didn't deserve to die and he did the right thing. I challenge rational Muslims everywhere to find the extremists among them who threaten them and the world. Call THEM the infidels and "Great Satan".

"He is a national hero because he saved the life of many girls," said Shahbaz Bhatti, minister of minorities in the Pakistani government. "As a Christian, a person of minority, he stood in front of the Taliban to protect the university."

But the grave of this national hero is a sorry sight. It is located in the poorer, garbage-strewn Christian half of a neighborhood cemetery, less then three feet from a muddy road.

Masih's mother and widow visit every day. One of his sisters crosses herself, then stoops down to pick up an empty pack of cigarettes someone threw onto the little mound of earth.

The family had to borrow money to pay for Masih's funeral and they are now behind on paying the rent. If the government money comes through, Masih's mother would like to decorate her son's grave.

"I would like him to have his name in cement with a nice poetry verse," she says. "And there should be a fence surrounding his grave."

Karl Eikenberry is an idiot and Obama is not seeing the big picture. This is a no brainer! The Taliban regained force in the country because we invaded Iraq rather than concentrating our forces in Afganistan where they should have been. There weren't enough troops in the country.

Corruption IS a big problem but if we don't send in more troops, a corrupt government will be the last thing we'll have to worry about. One thing that more troops will have to do (other than fight) is to stop the Taliban opium from reaching buyers in other countries since it has become one of the main ways they finance their terrorism.

Oh yeah, they are spies, definitely *scoff*... The Iranian government is led by idiots, of which I've never had any doubt, except this issue has amplified that idiocy 500%! We all know how much their government loves to take hostages. It makes them feel like they have something to use as pawns on their little chess boards.

Give them back! They just wanted to have some fun (albeit in the most unsafe area of the world to do it in).

With comments like this, the Turkish PM may as well kiss EU membership goodbye:

"Earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan questioned the charges against Mr Bashir and said that "no Muslim could perpetrate a genocide", according to Turkey's Anatolia news agency." -Oh yeah, because all muslims are innocent, and so is Osama bin Laden. *sarcasm*

This also indirectly comments on allegations that Ottoman Turks committed genocide against Armenians. Again, comments like this are NOT helpful to anyone.

It's about DAMN time this substance is de-criminalized! It really *is* fuckin harmless!

And so here it is.... Kashmir REALLY belongs to the bears! I think that is fitting.

I wonder what Iran would be like had Islam not invaded the country; that Zoroastrianism would've been the dominant religion. The Iranians lost allot of their original culture, just as Europe did with the invasion of Christianity.

"Because state and religion are presented as one and the same in the Islamic Republic, the sins of the state are tarnishing religion's reputation.

The problem has been growing for a while now; opposition journalists say all sorts of social ills, from drug addiction and prostitution to unemployment, are blamed on religion.

But with the election it has acquired a new dimension. Professor Ali Ansari of the Institute of Iranian Studies at St Andrew's University says that people were especially badly shaken by the fact that the violent post-election crackdown was carried out "in the name of Islam".

He cites the case of a minister's daughter who stopped praying because she was so shocked by what she had seen.

To many clergy it looks as if the actions taken by the president of the Islamic Republic are undermining support for the very religion the Republic was meant to serve. "
